I am an Orange UK SPV M3100 (HERM100) user. My radio stack was originally whatever was in the AKU3 update for WM5.
After doing the HardSPL V7 flashing, I upgraded my radio stack to the 1.50.00 version which said GSM only.
Then I upgraded to 1.51.00 which sucked so I downgraded back to 1.50.00
Now I assume that GSM only means GSM/GPRS/Edge/UMTS/HSDPA and excludes WIFI/Bluetooth.
So my question is has there been any radio upgrades to the non-gsm parts of the radio stack since the WM5 AKU3 update that Orange UK released in April?
Hi Starfury.
All the Radios only affect the calls/GPRS/3G etc. part of the phone. I'm not sure why 1.50 has GSM in the title as it's fundamentally the same as all the other Radio's, albeit a different version. Bluetooth and WiFi are always controlled from the actual ROM - in your case Scahps' excellent one (from your sig). I'm not sure how frequently the bits of the ROM controlling Bluetooth and WiFi are updated, but I'm sure the Chefs here have the very latest ones built in!
Happy flashing....
"GSM Only" refers to the fact that it's only a radio update.

Hello,
What is latest radio stack for SX-56 (I have T-Mobile phone but I guess it's the same). My reads right now as A.33.02 which looks like still having T-Mobile radio since from what I read so far AT&T stack is in 20s.
i have jasjar
rom 1.13.53 WWE
radio 1.03.01
protocol 42.36.P8
extRom 1.13.137
thats the newest rom, isnt it!?
as i can see, lots of people talk about radio update 1.04.02 but i cant find it!? I tried at forum links (ftp, universal folder) but there is no anything about radio!!!??
btw what about improvement, 1.03 vs 1.04 ?
regards

I have a Jasjar, which was running:
ROM version 1.13.53 WWE
Radio version 1.03.01
ExtROM version 1.13.137 WWE
I ran the radio-only upgrade, which errored the first time but ran without problem the second time. After a soft reset, I now have:
ROM version 1.13.53 WWE
Radio version 1.04.02
ExtROM version 1.13.137 WWE
All my settings/hacks were retained and no information was lost. The radio appears to be stable.
Hi, Sorry... im posting a newbie question... please ignore if "beneath" you...
Im confused on the "radio" upgrade thing. I mean, is this really the radio that we know of (FM/AM)? Why the need for upgrade? How do i make the radio work then?
Laugh all you want, read all your posts and i still dont get it.
The "radio" portion of the Jasjar is the phone/gprs componentry. The rest of the Jasjar is the PDA componentry. Because, theoretically at least, WM5 products can be PDA-only and because the radio portion of WM5 products can vary widely (differing standards for various parts of the world), the firmware is released in two parts: the base operating system for the PDA and the radio subsystem addition for the phone/gprs functions. This explanation is somewhat broad, and not 100% accurate, but hopefully provides some clarification.
can i use this to update my orange spv m5000? or is there another version for it..\
cheers
ok i've tried several times now and its not working.....
its not working for my spv m5000 either

Thanks for the explanation.. that was tech101 for me I get it now.. It's the "phone" part then.. upgrading the radio might have something to do with connecting wifi, bt etc... and i really though i could tune in to my favorite radio station.. haha
Thanks a heap!

You are welcome. BTW, something like this http://www.dealsonic.com/csdsedifmstr.html would add AM-FM capability to a Jasjar if WM5 drivers are available. Note though that it would seriously truncate battery life.
FYI, the SD-Radio is the older model.
Take a look at the sleeker SD-Radio2...

Hi,
Tha radio Rom upgrade worked Fine.
No settings have been lost. and I hope some Telphone and bluetooth problems are history now.

Benefit of Radio 1.04 over 1.03?
Just got my i-mate jasjar. Wondering about upgrades but it seems to work and if it aint broke, dont fix it!!
For those who have flashed from 1.03 to 1.04, what improvements were there?
Thanx
I just updated my 1.03.00 to 1.04.10 on my Qtek 9000
The biggest improvement is the time from hitting the 'pick-up' button to the connection being established. On the older version, this took about 5-7 seconds.... on new version, this happens instantly.
Maybe it's just me, but i think the sound quality of the phonecall is improved too.
Post deleted as I managed to upgrade the radio stack successfully to 1.04.10
cheers guys
Hello
can some1 please tel me what improvement thet is withn the Radio version 1.04.10.

Please some1 advice.
Thank You

i have downloaded: radio_.nbf = radio rom and: MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
put it in 1 directorie and when i run the exe i get an error can't find ruu.dll
with files do i need to upgrade only the radio and where can i find them, or what am i doing wrong..
i am a newbee
my device is a qtek 9000
I have successfully upgraded my ba to wm5. Everything runs great awesome job guys. My only question is, do i need to upgrade the radio to version 1.15. i haven't been able to find a change log for 1.15 anywhere. a search only turns up random results because people have the radio version listed in their signatures.
Thanks
Yes,I advise you to do this,1.15 is much better than 1.13,the voice is much loud and clear than before
And what about GPRS connection? Some people say that it in radio version 1.15 isn't stable? It is true?
Oh,i have even meet this problem,the GPRS connection is quite stable on 1.15
1.15 has louder voice, and GPRS is stable so far. I have experienced 'a frozen GPRS connection that won't disconnect' once only. I recommend you upgrade to 1.15
Can I just upgrade the Radio stack without going to WM5, etc? I just need a better signal. I also have a hearing problem.. so a louder voice on the phone would be very helpful.
Do I need hard reset if I upgrade only radio from 1.13 to 1.15 ???
You do not need to have WM5 so you can upgrade your radio stack. Just follow the instructions on Wiki. The only advantage of WM5 users is that they don't have to hard-reset when they upgrade the stack.
So, yes, when you upgrade your radio stack, you have to hard reset. You'll lose your data anyway when you enter bootloader mode and upgrade.
meaning i can upgrade the radio rom into a wm2003se? im currently running 1.12, and the reception is very weak, does this rom help?
sorry since im noob in this
read me
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.15_Upgrade
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

Thank your in advace

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.

yup...Globe UMTS really sucks, I also tried my Smart line on the Exec and UMTS was almost flawless, except I couldn't get my real player to play streaming vids smoothly
Hey guys,
Where I could download a stable Qtek 9000 ROM which is best in HK and Manila...?
Thanks :wink:
My Vodafone TP2 arrived today at work, and after reading everything on this forum, I was surprised to find there IS an FM Radio. It's not listed on the Start menu, but if you go into 'Other Programs' it's definitely there....
Has Vodafone reinstalled it if the unbranded versions come without?
The Vodafone radio has been mentioned on here.
As the Vodafone ROM has an older number on it than the HTC ones, even tho the date is newer, I wonder if HTC disabling the radio was a late decision
the fm radio is not in the italian version...
