Can Radio firmware version be changed without updating the main rom

I was just wondering if i can update the radio software/firmware on my phone to a newer one without having to install a newer rom and if i can what is the best version for use with O2-UK. Is there also a chance it may solve the sms not being recieved issue?
I currently have 2.07 radio installed (came installed on the phone from new) and i have seen mentions of 2.10 and 2.11 radio. I've also see in the last few days somone saying they use the taiwan radio for the uk to give better signal strangth. How does that work?

Yes, it can be done...dont know the tread but will see if I can find it!
Here you have the info...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4798017&postcount=1

OK cool and thanks cfds. Now next question, whats the best version of the radio to use for O2-UK?

Hello,
I have a question. In order to use that Custom RUU to flash a new radio do I have to install HSPL or I just use it without other modifications to my phone?
Thank you!

That's a good question actually, I hadn't thought of that.

You may have a look into the related Radio thread in the HD2 ROM Development section:

For installing a RADIO ROM you need HardSPL installed to your device.
Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device.

I have found 2.10.50.19_2 works the best for me on O2 in my area ,yes you will need HSPL to do any raidio flashing but a radio flash wont hard rest your phone so get flashing!!!

I can't find your radio version, Grant

Where did you get that radio from? I looked in the radio thread and the newest one i could see there was 2.10.50.08_2. Also did you install the newest rilphone.dll when you flashed your radio? That also begs the question what is the newest version of that file?

Hmmm maybe it was a typo....
And it's true, the latest radio (in my case 2.10.50.08_2) works brilliantly with my O2 sim. Also, when you select a network (I use Energy's roms) Select O2 PrePay. Those are the correct settings

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669042 and no i never messed with rilphone.dll as i read it was best to leave that alone.

Thanks for the link. I've installed 1.42.hspl and the radio from the link provided so lets see what happens.

there are also 2.10.50.26_2 & 2.10.50.28_2 raidios all off them work ok on o2 but i have found 2.10.50.19_2 the best signal in my area of the uk.

this does seem to have improved my signal but if i walk round the corner from the flat to a mates house i couldn't get a 3G signal at all so we will see if this helps

Is this could be Olinex version problem?

Hello,
I have a question and I could not find the answer in seach thread
I have bought Touch HD 3 months ago and since then I can not make or recieve phone calls outside or indoor, but it works always good when I am only at home don't know why? Currently I have (SPL 1.56 / Radio 1.10.25.25 / Energy Rom 6.5 sense 2.5)
I have tried tons of diffrerent rom versions and also radio versions but did not fixed my problem. Friend of mine have same phone and his works every where he goes without any missing calls or any other problem, and we both are with same service provider in Canada (Fido). Some one said it could be my SPL version problem with olinex 1.56 and suggested that I have to revert back to 1.54 with stock OS as well. IS THIS TRUE?
Please reply how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

If i were you, I would defenitely us a newer radio than 1.10. Are you sure 1.17 doesn't work better? As far as I know, your Rom doesn't have much to do with reception problems. My knowledge on this is limited, but from what I understand your rom should have a rillphone installed that matches your radio. More information on this subject here. Most roms these days have a rillphone that matches radio 1.14/1.17.
What radio is your friend using btw?

I really appreciate your suggestion, I will definately check with my friend for what radio version he is using in few hours, and I will post it shortly. I have never heard about rillphone? I will definately check your link and all the help from any one is really appreciated. I really like this phone and want to get it working.
Thanks

Can I copy my friends HD rilphone.dll file and replace it with my one in windows directory? Will that brick my phone? As I said in my first post that his phone works fine with same network provider.
Thanks in advance

My friends HD radio version is..
R 1.13.25.24
G 52.62.25. 34U
D 1.59.48753
Windows 6.1

I have tried Rilphone 14 and radio 14 but same problem presist, can't really make calls (works 3 times out of 10) also hard to recieve calls, However text messaging is got better, I am missing only 1 time out of 10.
Any help is really apreciated.
Thanks

Could you flash the same version of radio & rilphone as your friend's. This way you can rule out any possible hardware problems? - just a thought.

Thanks Surfwarrior for your suggetion,
I downloaded radio same as my friend's (1.13) however i could not found the working Link for 1.13 Rilphone. The Rilphone 1.13 link in the raido rom thread is not working.
Any idea where else can I get 1.13 rilphone?
Thanks

I have tried flashing Radio 1.17 and Rilphone 1.15 but same problem presist.
I also tried x1 radio but did not let me flash
I am still waiting for someone who can tell me where can I download Rilphone 1.13 cab. The original link for rilphone 1.13 cab is not working
Thanks

[Q] Need some help

Hey all, i have some problems with radio. I checked all threads and didn't found anything on this1. I've done hspl or smth like that to 2.08.
The thing is about radio, currently i can't do further and i got white screen + green htc logo and stuck at it, as far as i know i need radio update.
I tried that, eventhough i'm stuck at 0%, the thing is i have NOT t-mobile as most ppl here have, i have htc hd2, it was bought in lithuania officially and i'm not sure which radio version or whateva i need or what i do wrong! Sry if i posted in wrong section or did smth wrong, anyway i need help! don't wanna brick my phone, just bought it few hours ago and can't use it

dk if it helps, but on htc site if i select rom to update and choose my serial it tells that this fits me:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.48.479.1_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe

your hd2 is not unique; the majority have non-tmobile. actually there are many threads with your exact complaint.
but what you need to figure out is if you have hspl on it or not. you say you may have done it but then say 2.08 which seems more like spl.
so boot into bootloader, what does it say? then we can go from there!

2.08.HSPL, btw i found 1 user, he's from same country and city, propably got phone from lithuania too, he got in his sign: Radio v2.15.50.14 ;
can u check please if it's that radio ver?

If you boot into bootloader as the a ove post said you can check your SPL versiin this way. If you don't know how to do this just turn your HD2 off and then turn your HD2 back on but hd down the volume down button.The muticolor bootloader screen will come up. If you see SPL 2.08.0000 you have regular SPL. If you see SPL 2.08 HSPL then you have HSPL(Hard SPL) on your HD2. You should also se Cottula in the bootloader as well if you ha e HSPL.
You have a EU model HD2 so you can flash any radio version you want to flash and not brick your HD2. The issue of bricking a HD2 is only relavant to the T-Mobile(TMOUS) HD2. I suggest you flash radio version 2.15.50.14 it is the latest radio and the majority of poeple really like it.

Yay! downloaded that1, tried, and now it installed, and successfully! btw be4 that i installed magldr and it didn't worked cause was stuck, now it's loaded! gonna try wp7! yay! ty guys for fast answers!

Congrats. Enjoy!

Yeah MAGLDR requires a TMOUS compatible radio version to work. That is why you were having trouble before but gou have a TMOUS compatible radio version now so MAGLDR works. Hope you enjoy your HD2, and glad you got it working. I got your PM too by the way.

Radio Question - HD2 Telstra T9193

Ok I looked a bit around and could not find a clear answer to my question so here it goes.
I have the HD2 Telstra T9193 and I want to update it with the best in Radio and ROM, so I started to look around for info, I read the:
FAQ FOR FLASHING HTC HD2 (LEO)
Graphical Questions & Answers: flashing ROM & HSPL
But now I have a question that came to my mind. I bought the T9193 because the frequency it uses is similar to what we use here in Brasil, diferent from the rest of the world, so installing a radio that works nice on most HD2 may cause problems with my T9193? I wonder that since the frequencies are diferent the radio might be not configured to use them, or perhaps this have nothing to do with the radio and will not make any diference.
What you think about this?
What radio should I install? Any suggestions?
How do I know wich radio is best for me? I should stay with the suggested radio for each rom or I can try with the latest and change it if I have problems?
Thank you very much for the help.
Felipe

Correct, radio has no effect on the frequencies.
Most people find 2.10.50. or higher work fine, with 2.11.50 and 2.15.50 seemingly most popular.

I'm using radio 2.14.50 on my T9193, works fine
BUT: please remember that one must 1st flash the radio ROM and then 2nd, flash the main ROM of your choice. If you flash the radio ROM 2nd (like a simple "update"), the various radio elements will do strange and annoying things

How to update the Radio?

Hello people i downloaded yesterday this SD Android Rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
Then i tried this... i started usually the clrad.exe and then the Haret.exe....
Then i came to a blackscreen with a small white text on the left corner of the Disply... i waited and waited and nothing happended....
I tried this more ten 10 Times bu it dont works....
Then i found out that i have to flash my Radio...
My actually Rom is : 2.05.51.05_2
I read on the internet that i have to install first HSPL and then i can flash my Radio..?Right?
And is it dangerous?
But i do not know wich HSPL or Radio i should take, to make running my HTC HD2 Android...
Please can you help me?
Can you give me the link to HSPL and Radio Rom please...
My SPL is 1.42.0000... and so on
I found that there is a hspl and hspl2 3, and 4... wich should i take?
Sorry for my verry bad english...
Greetings from Austria

You can use hspl 2, 3 or 4, makes no difference. For me, I would use hspl2 and select "2.08.hspl" and then flash radio 2.15.50.

and is it safe or dangerous?
can i brick my phone?
can i use then android rom on myphone if i install the spl that you mentioned?

Bumppppppppppp

Safe (always some risk with flashing) but the "wrong radio" bricks you have read about don't affect you, that's tmous only.
as for installing android, assuming you mean nand androud, it will ONLY install on that spl (2.08.hspl)

radio !!
the tmous version can be bricked by a wrong rom probably the .51 ones !!!
but the radio 2.15.50.14 is the latest and a stable radio for both tmous and eu/asian models !!
also u might want to flash the radio depending on your country for receiving better network and signal strength as different radios have different reviews !!
happy flashing ! !!

so i should flash this radio : 2.15.50.14??
what is tmous?
im living in austria...

Yep, that one will do fine.
Tmous = t mobile us, red end key, says T-Mobile under earpiece. All other hd2 are "regular" with white keys.
