Hey guys, I was wondering if I could upgrade the Radio Rom. I tried to find out what my Radio Bootloader was through the WIKI site but could not get the commands to work. All I know is that I have:
Rom Version: Schap's 4.01
Rom Date: 10/03/07
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01W
ExtRom Version: 4.01.20071111
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.40.Olipro
I think that I need a newer Radio Rom as that one seems a bit old. The phone takes about 1.5 seconds to come back from sleep when clicking the power button.
You will have no problems upgrading radio. My phone started with 1.16 and is no up to 1.54.
sure, you can update the radio.
i suggest upgrading your IPL/SPL to HardSPL 7 or 9. i am currently using HardSPL 9 (2.60 Olipro), at the very least if you have a corrupted radio flash you will have your system bootable instead of a dead brick.
check out the ftp repository for xda-developers, you will be able to find v7 there (v9 is in the upload folder, but make sure you _only_ use it if you know what you are doing.)
Definitely upgrade SPL first, also do a little reading around, some radio roms work better in some countries than others and better on some network providers.

Hi all,
First of all I want to thank you for your time.
I bought a Blue Angel device from a friend of mine but unfortunately I'm not so sure who made it.
It does have the bluetooth, camera on the back, wireless wifi, etc.
About a week ago, the phone function died. I verified that it wasn't the GSM card because when I moved the GSM (Cingular) to a different cell phone, it does work.
I then found out that from the device information, I only saw the ROM version, ROM date and ExtROM version BUT the Radio version and the Protocol version are blank.
I am attaching the devicedata.txt.
With that in mind, I have tried to upgrade the ROM and the Radio. I'm currently running the O2 ROM with the following information:
1. ROM version 1.12.62 WWE
2. ROM date: 10/04/04
3. Radio version: Blank
4. Protocol version: Blank
5. ExtROM version: 1.12.178 WWE.
When I tried to upload the Radio ROM, it seems to upload it, no error messages but still the radio version information is blank and my Blue Angel is still not recognizing as if the radio is off.
I tried to upload other ROM, like Imate PDA2k, Siemens SX66, etc but I couldn't because sometimes it kept complaining about country id or language id not correct.
I really appreciate any helps, inputs on this matter. I'm kind of dead on the water without my phone...
Thank you so very much,
Tambeng
Upgrade everything, not just the radio rom, you have a really old stuff running there...
Download upgrade from. clubimate.com and install it. But only of you have PDA2K.
I did try upgrade it to the following:

But after the upgrade the Radio version and the Protocol version went blank again.
Do you think the fact that the radio version is blank is the cause of my phone to die?
Has anyone else since this issue before?
Thanks,

I tried to download but it says about the model is not correct.
btw: what does it mean by a ROM that says cooked?
Thanks,

No, no. Try to download from official website. What is your PDA call? It must be says some where on it.

It means that somebody made it by himself - not official. People take different parts from different ROMs and put them together into one ROM. You don't need things like this right now.

Very possible. What is wrong with your phone exactly? It's searching for signal or......?
It's actually really interesting that it didn't have any brand at all on it.
It just says, PocketPC on the top right corner. Can I identify the maker from the IMEA? I can share the IMEA number.
As for the phone, it doesn't even search for a signal at all. It just have the exclamation mark, like "!".
Thanks for your help,

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....

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)
I Removed the Radio 1.06.00!
I had a lot of problems with Messagin. I losed all my internet account/Configuration, my SMS ....
It was a problem with the Radio 1.06.00"
I have a MDA from T-Mobile with:
- IPL: 1.01
- SPL: 1.40.Olipro
- OS: WM6 CE 5.2.1933 ; Build 18533.0.7.0
- ROM: Schap's WM6 Pro 4.00 RC 25/09/2007 (FULL MODE)
- Radio: 1.16.00.00
- Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
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.
I'm a newbie and I've recently upgraded my HTC Cingular 8525 to the following =>
ROM = WM6.1 Touch Build 20924 V2.7
HardSPL = Ver 7
Image = Hard-SPL-2.10
IPL = 1.04 (G3 Series phone)
SPL = 2.10.01ipro
Operator version: PDAViet.net
ROM version: DVH_V27_BS
ROM date: 10/30/08co3.62.DVH.V27
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
ExtROM version: Black(Full)
HTC Hermes: HERM100
CPU: Samsung 2442A
Speed: 400 MHz
Ram size: 64MB
Flash size: 128 MB
Data bus: 32 bits
Storage size: 67.41 MB
This ROM seems to work great and is very stable and I've noticed a
dramatic improvement in my battery life and faster boot times.
I want to easily upgrade the Radio to a more recent Radio than 1.16.
What is the method of upgrading just the Radio to a recent stable Radio?
What version of the HTC Wizard Radios are recommended? I have seen
a number of posts that indicate users have Radio Version 1.47 and some
with later Radio versions. What are the advantages / risks involved in
a Radio upgrade? I assume that a newer Radio would be able to get
a better 3G signal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - John
For starters the wizard isnt a 3g phone so you wont get a better 3g signal and seeing as you have actually got a hermes if you tried flashing a wizard radio you will turn your nice cool little ppc into a paperweight SO DONT EVEN TRY FLASHING A WIZARD RADIO
Anyway radios are high risk for flashing so think carefully before upgrading the radio , you need to consider the pro's and cons of actually upgrading it.
Do you have loss of signal, keep getting disconnected or calls failing to dial, if not then why change the radio.
I am not trying to scaremonger here, but flashing just roms that have no radio is reasonably safe as 99% of the time, errors can be corrected quite easily, when a radio goes wrong it can be a completely different ball game.
Anyway if that hasnt scared you SH**less ,I have personally found that radio 1.47 is the best in my wizard, but i am in the uk and i actually have a wizard and a hermes and an orbit?
To upgrade the radio you just follow the same procedure you do with upgrading a rom ,except of course it is only the radio that is being upgraded and you dont need to reinstall everything afterwards. The O.S. is left exactly the same as before the flash.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET A HERMES RADIO if you do want to try flashing a new radio
Sources for Hermes Radio ROM Upgrades
Thanks for your reply. I was hoping for a slightly better signal in marginal reception regions and I had heard that the newer Radios have better reception.
Also with regard to Hermes Radio ROM upgrades - any suggestion on
where to find the 1.47 Hermes Radio ROM that I can upgrade?
Thanks in advance - John
If i was you i would seriously read the wiki here under hermes after you have read some of that i would try one of these that are found here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
remember what i said though there is a greater risk of bricking your device flashing a radio
Hi everyone,
I have an HTC Vogue (branded here (NZ) as an Okta Touch)
CE OS 5.2.19208
ROM version: 3.00.718.4 WWE
ROM date: 02/04/09
Radio version: 3.41.00
I am trying to update to WM6.5 but every time I run the application it says:
"ERROR 262: UPDATE ERROR"
And then it goes through a recovery process. It doesn't affect the device at all but I'd really like to know what's going on and why I am unable to update.
Thanks!
P.S. I haven't unlocked it, not sure whether I need to. Also not sure how to.
