I've been using radio: 1.06.00 since Tuesday or Wednesday without problems. Hasn't fixed nor broken anything as far as I can see.
Radio 1.06.00 was issued as part of the recent German MDA update.

[No message]

Yes, ist working, had to do the update several times, like 10x, before it was installed, soft reset ......and.....IT'S ALIVE
thanks

Thanks, ncruz! the radio upgrade on my MDA Pro worked flawlessly on the first attempt. My device information now shows:
ROM version: 1.13.69 WWE
ROM date: 10/12/05
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.162 WWE
I was hoping the radio would solve a couple of issues I've mentioned on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38876
but, unfortunately the wireless manager and bluetooth issues still persist.

Hi,
Removed SD and SIM cards.
However, as with my all Universal previous ROM upgrades (only Radio till now), I got several errors (114; 150;...) till succed. About 15 and long attempts.
Did you experience a similar problem?
Could it be related with device bootloader version (mine is v1.00). Does someone has a newer one?
Between some attempts and errors, I need to 'soft reset' or 'cold boot' in order to get a different error, and finally a succesfull attempt.
I've a Qtek 9000 with a TMN SIM (Portugal) and it works fine after upgrade.
Just in case, I want to give up in future similar operations, does someone knows how to get rid of the bootloader? Does an Hard Reset resolves? Is there any other way?
Error 114: Radio ROM update error
Error 150: ROM upgrade utility error

I "up?"graded to radio 1.06.
I found it in some conditions slower than 1.04.10, and when I use NovosecSmartFilter, it freezes when a call comes althogh it worked with the previous radio ROM.
Just for you to know...

I've noticed 2 times now (with hard resets between) that sometimes when I receive a call, my Contacts open and I can't close them. I can click the Start menu and run another app but then Contacts is brought to the front again. After enough clicking to close Contacts, the upper right corner quickly alternates between "OK" and "X" and I end up having to soft reset.
One thing that I did do differently is that I performed a soft reset prior to O2's extRom installation. Are there any 'fixes' in their extRom that I might need to manually install?
I'm thinking about going back down to 1.04.00 as I didn't have this problem prior. But I'd rather not downgrade.

I'm down?grading to 1.04.10 now....

Hi I did the supid thing of not actually following all the instructions,
I just installed update over a bluetooth activesync connection.
It never finished but after a soft reset my device sits with a grey screen

Any ideas?

It's looking for a serial (not available on Universal) or USB connection, so you'll need to connect to "ActiveStink" via USB cable. The "Serial" will normally change to "USB" when you plug USB in.
Unfortunately, I've never tried it with an *un-partnered* device stuck in bootloader mode - hopefully somebody else has.

You have to instal complte original ROM, the one that came with the phone,
just conect the phone with usb, start upgrading your phone, and wait for 20 minuts to be done
thats how I manage to fix mine 8)

radio 1.12

hi
can anyone point me in the direction of the download for this rom - i keep seeing it in people's sigs and i'm jealous
cheers
si

A newer version of the radio stack is not necessarily better than the older one. For example, several members in the UK find 1.09 works better than 1.11
I don't know where the 1.12 radio stack is, but the 1.11 is available here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Radio

1.11 radio problems
I have had strange probems with 1.11, including loss of signal & inability to dial in places where there is a signal. Only starts working again after a soft reset. Its intermittent but reason enough to go back to the QTEK ROM with radio 1.09.

I have a feeling that it depends on where you use your phone...

I had the same probs with droping calls where the phone worked before in the UK with 1.11 going to try 1.10 for a bit.

How To Upgrade MDA PRO from Chinese to English
Hi,
I just bought a T-Mobile MDA PRO in China but it is in Chinese. Can some one advise me which WWE ROM I should use in order not to cause the system hang after upgrade? Can I upgrade WWE ROM from other brand? I got the following info from the set:
ROM version: 1.00.00WWE
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 42.40.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.134 CHT
Thank your in advace
FongSG

fongsg: Go for the Qtek AKU2 ROM 1.30.77 1.30.176 1.09.00 WWE.
It is one of the few ROMs which have AKU2 as well as A2DP for Bluetooth. It's quite fast and stable as well. The radio ROM is also very stable - apparently better than the 1.11 stack.

i upgraded to radio 1.08 and so far have been having lots of probs with the signal, also losing my net connection etc.. anyone suggest a good radio?

Try 1.09. It seems to be the most popular radio stack at the moment.

what about RADIO 1.10 from T-mobile ???

1.10 gives me the best reception (in the Netherlands)

I'm having problems with 1.09 in the US I drop my GPRS and calls fail all the time. I am upgrading to 1.11 to see if this helps.

1.11 is REALLY bad in the UK on o2, bad signal, and once lost it is impossible to get back, have to switch off radio and then back on to get the signal back. That's my experience anyway, 1.09 is the best I have used so far, very strong signal and very stable

Using an O2 XDA Exec with Radio 1.09 in Asia [Manila, Philippines] any other Universal users who have updated to Radio 1.11? How is it? Does it perform better compared to 1.09? I am unsure if I should update my Radio to 1.11, some posts here say 1.11 is unstable for their territory but I would like some info on 1.11 radio ussage in Asia. TIA.

No problems here using 1.11. Been using it for about 1 month. Portugal territory

also have the XDA Exec here in Manila and I have tried 1.11. Went back to 1.09 as it seems to give me better reception

@herbules: Many thanks for the info I'll probably stay with 1.09, may I ask which operator you are on? I am on Globe and their UMTS coverage sucks.

Hey guys,
Where I could download a stable Qtek 9000 ROM which is best in HK and Manila...?
Thanks :wink:

Upgrade Advice Please

hey guys
this is my first post here so i just wanna say how much information i have learned from this site and the forums. and i haved used the search function but after hours came up with nothing.
I have a MDA PRO Running the latest T-Mobile Rom, but its causing me so many problems.
It Takes forever to answer a call(around 10 secconds after ive pressed answer) it takes ages to open any applications. its just slow.
i was running the Imate rom before and was really happy with it. but there are some features that have come in the new t-moibile rom that i would like to keep such as the green battery icon and the "Soft Key" Application.
So i was thinking of only upgrading the extrom and the radio.
My current config is:
ROM VER : 1.30.114 WWE
Rom Date: 04/13/06
Radio : 1.10.03
Protocol Ver: 42.44.p8
EXT ROM VER : 1.30.232 WWE
I was looking to upgrade to either the QTEK or the IMATE rom b ut i wanted to know if ill still have the green abttery indicator and "soft Key" application as im not sure if they come with the rom or the OS. if not can anyone tell me where i can get them from plz.
Also alot of ppl are saying that radio 1.09 is the most stable, can anyone confirm this please.
Cheers guys

You will not get those features with the currently available Qtek or i-mate WWE.
I do however, have a suspicion (my spidey sense is tingling) that there will be new ROMs from within the next month and a half.
In the meantime, feel free to cook up your own. :lol:

[NEW] - Orange ROM w/Radio 1.13.00_UNI (25/08/06)

Found on buzzdev.net
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&id=24437&catid=40 8)
does anyone know new ROM from Orange release 25 August 06.....??
any link....??

Here we go with this new - ROM -

http://www.business.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Business&c=OUKPage&cid=1142943309969

I understand that upgrades to radio 1.13, but what's about the rest of the version, i mean rom and so on?
thanks.

I'd also want to know what is new in this ROM aside from the radio. Does this ROM have both AKU2 and A2DP support?

Does upgrading to 1.13 on the radio make much of a difference?
In an area where I used to get a 5 bar signal strength on the alpine with radio 1.04 I now get a 2 bar signal with the Universal and my wife complains bitterly that the sound breaks up whilst I'm talking to her...

It is hard to answer your question because different radio versions have different performances on different locations. So you basically have to try it yourself to determine if this will improve the quality of your calls in your area. The most important thing to know is you will not loose your current settings or programs installed as long as you ONLY UPGRADE THE RADIO VERSION AND STAY AWAY FROM UPGRADING THE REST OF THE ROM.

Thanks will give it a whirl - iirc its a case of deleting the nk.nbf and ms_.nbf files out of the upgrade?

Yes, and using the Ma_Upgarde_No_ID Tool to install it. I'll probably try and install it too myself today.

I think it's time that some informed people start telling the rest of us what's changing from version to the following: personal impressions on perfomance are often contraddictory, many are downgrading after upgrading. What's going on?

Gah now I'm annoyed.
I applied just the radio update and at the end when it told me to do a cold start I did just a normal soft reset, fingers well away from the keyboard. It starts to boot and I notice from the splash screen that it's QVGA instead of VGA as I expect. I think "Oh OK I just need to run ozVGA again it's just got reset by the update" - all of a sudden it tells me to "Tap the screen to begin using Windows"
Not amused.
Fortunately I kept a backup but that's really annoyed me.

excuse my ignorance (cause it's really buggin me too! ) but how do you backup the EXEC? on previous PPC's there was a backup to falsh utility. all i've seen are references to backing up 'my documents'. i would like to have a full backup like i used to get.
any help appreciated.
nevermind "Spb backup" it is!

hi gquipster
did you see any difference in the radio upgrade??
i am also having a little reception difficulty with radio 1.09 sometimes 5 bars and couple of minutes later in the same location no reception so any feedback will be appreciated. thanks

Backups:
When I say a backup what I meant is that all the cab files etc that I use are all stored on the SD card so it was just a case of rerunning them rather than having to dig them all out. Also all my files are kept on my SD card as well.
I see they've removed the backup option from ActiveSync 4.2 anyone know why that would be?
Radio 1.13:
Well I haven't really noticed much difference in the signal strength indicator on the screen but call quality whilst sat at my desk seems the same - perhaps slightly better. It does seem to be answering calls marginally quicker but that could be wishful thinking.
Real test will be as I drive home this evening, several areas where the phone broke up yesterday where my Alpine didn't so see how the new Radio performs there.
I actually didn't use the no_id upgrade tool I re-encoded the radio_.nbf file changing the operator id to O2 and then used the ROMUpgradeUt.exe etc from the last official O2 update just with the nk.nbf and ms_.nbf files removed. Maybe that's why it hard reset my phone? Not entirely sure.
Anyway if there is anyone with a debugger/decompiler/whatever who can analyse exactly what the changes between Radio 1.09/1.11 and 1.13 are I'd be very interested, I'm wondering if it's actually the same update just with a different version number depending upon the service provider!!!
G

Did someone above mention that this rom makes the screen qvga? I would be interested in that, as long as it doesn't screw up my phone software (like it does with ozVGA). Just to get a clear picture, how good is this upgrade, if anyone has anything to offer from experience, when compared with Imate JJ 1.30.82 WWE and 1.09.00 (radio) I am using on my universal (O2 xda exec).

i applied the radio rom to the qtek rom. no problems - no qvga

Device Information :
Operator version : 7.130.1.174 <---- NEW info...What it is..?
ROM Version : 1.30.90 WWE
ROM date : 02/24/06
Radio version : 1.13.00
Protocol version : 42.47.P8
ExtROM version : 1.30.174 WWE
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0) ----> AKU 2.0 (nothing new)
i think this is same with previous orange ROM, the new one ONLY Radio 1.13.00 updated, and have NO issue with new radio, everything seem OK..!
will be revert back to AKU3.2_Ivan and keep this radio...

I got QVGA cos I think I fscked up the update and it ended up cold booting my system. Haven't yet looked at exactly what I did wrong yet, might do if I get a chance after work this evening.
My current config now is:
ROM Version: 1.30.107 WWE
ROM Date: 04/11/06
Radio Version: 1.13.00
Protocol Version: 42.47.P8
ExtROM Version: 1.30.162 WWE
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
Notice you have a different ExtROM version to me - what exactly is different do you know?
I'm off on holiday as of tomorrow so may not get much of a chance to reply for a week or so (depending upon how many emails I get in my work account by the time I get back!!!)
G

Is there A2DP support in this new ROM?

Radio 1.13
Seemed slightly better whilst driving home today my wife didn't complain about me breaking up as much but she did say that it still wasn't as good quality as the "that other gadgetty thing you used to have" (Alpine).
Also for the first time this evening it detected a 3G signal in my house (0 bars but it detected it!!!) for all of 5 minutes before switching back to a 5 bar GSM signal. Will try moving it nearer to a window and see if I can get the 3G signal back, but thats a definite improvement.
Anyway all subjective I'm afraid as I don't have the expertise and/or the tools to be able to do proper testing.
Still need to figure out exactly what I'm doing with cooking ROMs etc first...

Improvement Advices please!

I have a MDA from T-Mobile with:

I had a few problems with the No GSM, but now everything seems normal.
What improvements would you advise?
SPL to the latest 2.10 or 2.30?
Radio upgrade?
Is it possible to upgrade the Protocol Version? What does it mean?

My personal opinion..do not play with IPL/SPL unless its a die situation...try upgrading radio, i find that some radios are better than others in my device...
Learn how to cook and be a flash junkie...LOL

Most of the times I feel the GSM reception is too weak.
Improving the radio will make reception better?
Wich do you recommend me to instal?? Hermes 300

Yeah, a better Radio will improve your signal, and also save on battery life. 1.54 is the latest and seems to work well for everyone else i know
Check the hermes wiki links above and you can download it there.

Who is your provider?
My stock AT&T radio (1.40) worked good, but i prefer to use higher versions just in case...I dont have any problems with the current one that i am using right now (see signature)

Portugal TMN
I´ve seen those Rom´s for audio upgrade and have researched on how to install them, I think I can make it with sucess. However, I want your opinion on upgrading SPL before the audio update please
"need bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade your radio and ?RadioBootloader version 107 or less"
in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
How can I check this?

I´ve update the SPL to the 2.10 Olipro and the Radio to the latest version.
However, I can´t make 3G calls, any ideias? It wasn´t working before the update either.

radio o depends on ur provider a lot.
i use 1.43 for australia. 1.54 is ltest but it sux in australia.
so get feedback from those in a similar region. 1.16 is gonna be stuffed either way, there r much better versions.
i also use htc released rom for phone os.

Well, I´ve installed the latest radio and now I´m back with the NO GSM message.
i wonder ir this is a problem with my installation, with the radio rom files, or with my PDA?
Any help please

it means u screwed it up n didnt follow instructions, and probably didnt read wiki.
get a new radio version, or do it again n reflash it.
ensure u have the right ipl/spl version n u understand the risks n bricking when u r upgrading radios.
i have completely wiped my device n bricked it doing radios. so re flash a rom of choice, reflash radios and alllow lots of hours redoing it all.
suggest u try just reflash a radio that works for ur region. be prepared to lose everything n hope u have backed it up before u starrted.

I didn´t bricked. I bought it bricked.
I´have been trying for the past week to recover it from a brick. I´ve read every tutorial in this forum, and didn´t screw up.
However, I haven´t yet found a Radio Rom that work´s stable in this MDA in Portugal TMN.
I´ve tried 1.16.00, 1.38, 1.40, 1.57 (both). When with 1.16 it worked for 2 days in a row, however after that the no gms appears once in a while.
