Hi Guys,
I need to send my vario ii back to tmobile (for the 5th time now ) but as ive got JJ's Black 2.5 on it, i dont suspect they are going to be very happy and void my warrenty.
Is there a way to put it back to exactly how it was when it came out the factory (or good enough so they cant really tell) for me to get a replacement?
Thanks
Jas
- If u have radio bootloader >=0108, you can put everything back except the radio (when you flash a radio with 0106 on it, you'll get a NoGSM error).
- If u have raido bootloader <=0107 you can put everything back.
is that the IPL or the SPL?
Thanks for your help

Are these installed when new radios are flashed?
Radio 1.40.30.00
or
Radio 1.41.00.10
Thanks
yes, both have 0108.
So what's the latest+best radio for TMOB UK, which also allows the device to be restored to its original state? I want to upgrade but I still have warranty left! I gather the 1.05 radio it shipped with is not the best.
hi, can somebody help me about upgrade htc radio fm? what software I need for do it? is possible to just override some files, or I need to re-flash the rom?.
how can I save radio sound to mp3 or any type of sound file?.
thanks,
[edit] Ooops! I misread your question. I thought you were meaning to upgrade the radio part of the ROM, so I wrote the long explanation below. Now I realise you meant the FM radio app. That has nothing to do, that wouldn't require a re-flash, only getting the right files for it and installing them. Sorry!
[edit]I'm leaving the other explanation below anyway, since I took the time to write it and some people can find it useful. But it DOESN'T apply to this thread.
It is a ROM flash: a ROM file (extension .nbf) which can be installed with the standard Rom Update Utility (RUU). ROM files may have one or more of the following parts:
- SPL (Secondary Program Loader): most limitations about which kind of ROMS you can boot are enforced by this part. For example, any country or language restrictions are likely to be found here.
- radio: this has the code for the phone radio chips (GSM, CDMA, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc). Upgrading these can sometimes improve reception or battery life. Or they may worsen
- boot screen: the screen you get before the Windows Mobile logo appears. Usual boot screens are the phone brand logo, but you can change it. For example, mine has contact information to return the phone if I lost it.
- The OS proper. You need to change this to upgrade the OS. This is the only part that will need a hard reset if changed. Most "cooked" ROMS change this part.
. extended OS or ExtROM: This has CABs to be automatically installed after a hard resets. Typically used by network operators to add their own customisations (operator logo, bundled apps, etc).
Vendor official ROMs usually have all of these parts. Unofficial "cooked" ROMS may include only some parts.
For example: When you do CID unlocking, you're flashing a ROM file which has ONLY the SPL part on it. After that, flashing any ROM file which has no such part, will keep you CID unlocked. However, if you flash a ROM with the SPL part, such as any official ROM, you'll be CID locked again. That's how it works.
For radio it's the same: if you flash a ROM which has only the radio part, you'll upgrade it and no other part of the OS will be changed. Of course, if you later install another ROM which includes an older radio version (for example an official ROM) you'll be actually downgrading it
I hope the explanation was clear enough.
want to upgrade radio version
hi brother i just want to upgrade the radio version i am facing problem when i chat on sms at times my i dont get the call alert on my mobile i cant to know from friend that the radio version 2.79.90 has to be updated for my new gene

they wont work at all and stays at 0%
have olivpro 2.30 and hardspl7
thought this was ment to prevent bricking?
no, it improves chances of recovering a brick but wont stop it from happening. It loks like your radio is corrupted. You might have to bite the bullet and tell your dad his phone no longer works... sorry for the bad news...
have you tried flashing a rom with radio included through yur sd card. had same issue and this worked for me.
If ya can't install a radio, sounds like your stuck with a pda and not a phone.
Have you tried a number or radio's?
As ultramag69 says
no, it improves chances of recovering a brick but wont stop it from happening. It loks like your radio is corrupted. You might have to bite the bullet and tell your dad his phone no longer works... sorry for the bad news...

using hardsplv7 improves chances of recovering, but nothing is 100%
If you flash your phone with manufacturers rom and get everything back to original, see if orange or manufacturer will fix it under warranty or insurance. THIS IS A LAST RESORT AS IF THEY DIG DEEP AND KNOW YOU HAVE MESSED WITH PHONE, THEY'LL DO NOTHING FOR YOU!!!
Personally I have returned phone once due to not being able to receive or make calls. I flashed original rom etc but forgot to put original radio back on. They never noticed and I got my phone back fixed. But this is a BIG RISK.
have now managed to get spl 1.01 on the phone
trying to change to spl 1.04 and reflashing!
however now when i task 32

Ditto.
Is there anyway of fixing the corrupted radio? is there no way to "re-write" the radio bootloader?
obviously the radio bootloaders have changed over the different versions of the roms so why cant we "re-construct" the bootloaders in this fashion?
Referring to :HERMES Bootloader 1.01 MFG (WIKI) I cant use the "Flashing SPL-1.04 again" method because my radio is corrupted, so, I lose SuperCID, and don't have access to the lnb command; is there a SPL-1.04.nbS that we can use?!
If there is, would it allow us to use a radio of that version? or is this mute?
I've read several threads and the wiki several times, but, it seems this corrupted radio issue is something new that the wiki's are partially addressing, or, whatever has caused the radio to suddenly become corrupt requires a new method to fix it.
I know i've said I've read the forums, wiki, but perhaps I've missed something? Any assistance is appreciated!
I was wondering if any body had spl 1.04 on their mini sd card?
the method were you just transfer over to the mini card and click on it.
i managed to change my boot loader to version 1.01 this way.
if i can change it to 1.04 can i flash to radio with out it stopping.
thanks
just solved exact problem
Hi
i have been dealing with the same problem for 4.5 hours finally with the help of wiki and pof 's posts i managed to unbrick radio.
first of all i tried almost evceryting. i finally succeed by reseting radio sector. i used mtty to gel into hermes and used commands of one of pof's posts for erasing radio sector.
i dont remember the link but google xda for it. then i flashed tweaked version wich is inclueded in unlocker by pof i aborted the operation in unlocking phase then installed hardspl7
i can use my phone now radio version is 1.10 sth but i didnt tried to install newer radio ( too tired :=) )
i hope it is usefull if anything not clear PM me or write here....
PS:Many many thanx to pof...

This link you speak of is of high importance!! what were the commands? what was the link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-280372.html
but after installing radio 1.47 it happened again in one call.
still in square one ....
No SD-card install works (stucks in GSM)
no shipped rom works
i want to ask if there is anyway to erase the whole radio sector ??
rerase command did not work on my hermes may be pof has some solution to this.

After lots and lots of reading the wiki's and forums over and over again I believe I may have solved the radio corruption problem on my 8525.
Just to let everyone know that I've tried flashing several SPL's; 1.01 MFG, 1.04, 1.10 Oli, 2.10 Oli, 2.60 Oli. Back and forth between the versions but finally I stayed put at 1.10.
I have/had a type 1a brick, but, not from flashing, everything was working great and then it just died. I tried Method 1 of Problem 5: Device shows NO GSM when booting more times then i would like to remember, however, nothing worked. When i tried a Radio only flash it failed at 0% and when i tried a FULL RUU it failed at 12/13% (GSM.nb). Convinced I had a $500 paper weight I got angry tried Method 2 of Problem 5 (see above link) ... strangely on the first try i was able to see the radio (1.40.30.00) and the protocol version as well...
I then thought this was too good to be true and then soft-reset my phone; BAM! "NO GSM".... I tried several times and then finally got the version readouts again... So i soft-reset into bootloader mode
Code:
typed: info 2
returned: HTCS
typed: task 32
returned: Level = 0
typed: rtask b
returned: AT-Command Interpreter ready <--------- YES!!!
I was then able to get enter the AT/Radio Commands so i did what anyone else would do.... FLASH ANOTHER RADIO!!!
I flashed the Radio from HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a and it just finished... I got an error at the end, and after the soft-reset the version stayed 1.40.30.00, but once booted into WM6.1 it immediately picked up the 3G signal... I hope this lasts longer then others have reported.
Should i try to flash another radio that is radio_bootloader 108???
*sigh* ... froze in WM6.1 reset then "No GSM" again... so then i tried HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a but it failed because I kept getting No GSM; so i did the battery trick to get version info's then ran the .bat as instructed and it perfomed the unlock; this time it reflected the radio 1.16.0.0
since I know what it takes to get the radio to flash, i'm trying RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe ..... i mean what do i have to lose right?
[EDIT] it worked... so lets see what happens.... [/EDIT]
[EDIT2] Radio is 1.54.07.00 & Protocol is 32.86u.7020.23H ... so it looks like its perm now... I've been able to send and recieve calls now too.... [/EDIT2]
after several hours of usage, radio no longer responds and WM becomes unstable and after a soft-reset I get "No GSM" ...
Question to Olipro, Des, pof:
Is it possible to log the beginning bootup screen to see what exactly triggers the "No GSM" vs the radio/protocol versions?!?! there has to be something that were missing... it would seem ever since radio 108 this problems have arisen... comments?
I have read and read and read. so I have a telus diamond and I cannot flash hardspl 1.4. I tired xp and vista. I ended up flashing 1.57 (comonex?) and I tried flashing the radio and it didn't work. I try flashing 1.40 but it gives me communication error and an enterbootloader error on the device. any ideas before I smash this thing?
thanks
what did you do? maybe you describe step by step what you did and what was the result

make sure your using the CDMA hard spl and not the GSM
your also required to have .net CF 3.5 installed in order to flash hard spl.
where is the cdma hardspl? isn't that unsigned_1.4 hard spl... from the tutorial?
I flashed 1.57 on it and its hard to even get into the boot loader with the volume down/reset. sometimes it doesn't boot and just vibrates. sometimes it boot into wm6.1. I hardly can ever get it into bootloader then when I do and I flash a radio 1.0.5.25 (?i can't remember which right now) it says it flashed, resets and is still 0.99.99v. I wanna flash a good radio and the juicy telus rom because straight out of the box the gps has never work properly and the phone always messes up.
thanks guy
talking to myself
ok so i found this enableRAPI and CERT_SPCS cabs that disable the security warning (that comes up when i try and get into bootloader and makes the device freeze solid)
goin to try when my girl gets home

your worrying me, your not researching before your doing all this stuff and your going to bring your phone.
there are NO radio updates for the telus diamond. flashing any other radio will brick your device.
you MUST unlock your device with the CMDMA unlocker its not on xda its founds here
and you MUST make sure any rom files are CDMA based and not GSM.
may i suggest you first research the difference between CDMA and GSM cellular devices, and then i suggest reading very carefully. as some users here who do not have already bricked there devices. knowledge is key.

Hi guys,
I've just rooted the AMOLED HTC Desire (Branded, Simlocked, Orange FR) with the following version:
- HBOOT: 0.75
- Radio : 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
- Firmware version : 1.15
So i have few questions:
- Do i need to update radio to use with froyo ?
- Which radio should i use to remove simlock ?
- Is there any combination of radio + hboot would brick my Desire ?
- Any suggestion on cooked froyo i should use ?
Thank you very much
- no you dont need to upgrade your radio to use froyo, just to use the hd video recording
- you cant remove a simlock with a radio lol
- radio and hboot dont interact with eachother so i doubt it
- everyone seems to use leedroid these days, i like nextsence tho both roms are pretty awsome tho
@AndroHero: Thank you for you quick reply. But i seached forum, and found that each version of firmware does required a specific radio version. And my radio is quite obsolete. I doubt that froyo requires a higher radio version.
They also mentioned that if radio and hboot is not compatible with each other, my phone will be bricked.
And i'm afraid of upgrading to froyo will also upgrade radio and hboot which leads to loosing rooting capability.

i have used froyo with the stock radio i got with my desire, only problem was camcorder crashed, i have the same hboot version as you and used every radio under the sun with no problems, if you flash a custom rom, they will not come with a radio or hboot upgrade so dont worri about that
@AndroHero: I do see the newest version of LeeDroid do require new radio and they said i need a unlock code("Orange users may need an unlock code.")
I don't have a unlock code, but i still use an orange simcard. Is it ok ?

no orange users need to buy a sim unlock code to sim unlock your desire before you can flash a new radio, otherwise you will get network locked ( meaning you cant use the network, phone, internet ect ), after you have sim unlocked your desire you can continue to use your orange sim as usuall but you need to sim unlock your phone
@AndroHero: So said . Is there anyway so that i can update to froyo without upgrade radio ? I see most cooked roms need updated radio to work.
Anyway, if i want update radio, is there anyway to backup current radio and restore later ? Nandroid seems not to be eable to do that

there is a thread the top of the development section with all the radio's, just take a note of your radio and then download it again if nessessary like i said before as far as i know (and have tried) froyo will work with the old radio's just some of the functions will crash like camcorder, when the first htc froyo rom was leaked we had no new radio so everyone used it with the ones they had

The latest 2 radio's can be used on Orange without an unlock code.
Thank you guys, i will cross my fingers and do a radio update tonight
Old (4.x) radios are not supported with froyo. It may seem to work, but you will end up with problems, and devs will usually refuse to offer any support if you have an old radio.
Some custom roms will flash the radio as well.
I answered all this on MoDaCo this morning...
I've just updated radio to the newest, but the download speed seems never reach 0.5mbps, uplad is 1.6 mbps.I tried with iphone 4 (with the same sim card),it can reach 4mbps for download and 2mbps upload easily. Any idea ?

lol unlucky..
also i've herd people get past the radio problem by doing the update without the sim card in the phone. and then inserting it in.
they might be talking BS, but it might be fact. best thing to do is unlock the handset anyways

Have you checked your APN settings?
hi,i realized the problem is from the operator. There are 3 access point, and only one of them allows me connecting at max speed. "Orange Internet" is suck. Use "Orange World" instead.
Hi! I am in your same situation. I have a Orange branded Desire. Finally, did you update the radio without need SIM unlock?
Thanks
Yes, I CONFIRM that you can update it without simlock.
