i done cid unlock and sim unlock also installed Hard-SPL-v7 and have now download : Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.3_ATT_Full.rar: rom
does this have a radio on or do i need to install one
and also what order does have to be in like
install radio first, then the rom or the rom first then the radio
thank guys
I dont believe Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.3_ATT_Full comes with a radio. you should do a search on that to read whats in the rom. If you are going to upgrade the radio PLEASE make sure You read the Wiki on what to do( search under radio rom upgrade or something like that). Be aware that there may be a problem upgrading to radio rom version 1.5x and check to see what people in your area are using as it could impact on reception and battery life. IF you decide to upgrade the Radio rom, be aware that ANY problems doing so can brick you mobile & it isn't fixable... you can use the pda part, but not Phone. So saying, if you follow the instructions in the wiki you should have no problems. Happy Upgrading. (Read the wiki).
thanks ultramag69 for reply
what if i dont upgrade the radio can i just upgrade to rom ?
thanks
Yes you can just upgrade the OS.
It is not advisable to upgrade radio all the time, so if your current radio version you have works good in your area, then stick with it!
thanks ai6908 for the reply

Radio improves your signal reception a bit, and it all depends on the area in which you live in too! I would suggest you upgrade your radio to 1.40 atleast. Radio links can be found in wiki.
thanks ai6908 for all your help i flash the rom and O.M.G what a diffence
i think i am going to play around with for while then do the radio.
once again thanks
Welcome to the wide world of ROM flashing.... Now you have to decide each time a new one comes out if you want to flash your rom......... Dont forget to thank the REALLY talented chefs who cook up these wonderful roms.

Well i got my Orange SPV M3100 about a week and a half ago, everything was going fine, then i heard that windows has realised windows mobile 6, so i downloaded WMXDA 0.20 last week the phone was working good but in recent days everything just crashes, i would like to know if i should downgrade back to the orange setting and how that would be possible, or should i change the radio rom and how would that be possible? i have listed below the current setting/os of my phone and would be very greatful of the help that i recheve...
ROM version: 3.22.110.1
ROM date: 01/04/07
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
Thanks a ton in advance for the help!
if the phone was running ok but is now crashing it is probably some of the software you have installed. Try un-installing some (or all) of it or maybe even a hard reset.
Do you have any apps installed on the memory card. A lot of people are having problems with regular lock ups and freezes if apps with a today plugin are installed to memory card.
Also it seems that many people are having problems with certain spb software.
Would recommend a hard reset and then install your apps and test one by one to find the culprit.
S.K.
cheers guys...could you let me know how/what i need to upgrade my radio rom? thanks

Dude, you just posted that your ROM was screwed and now you want to mess with your radio!! You really like to live on the deep end. I suggest you take some time and read the wiki. Its not just something experienced people say to newbee's, its something that can save you a lot of heart ache and trouble.
In my advice, you took the wrong steps. I flashed my device with the latest ROM from my carrier that had the radio that I wanted. THEN I flashed my device with the hacked ROM.

OK noobie first thing, Un-noobify yourself by
1) Reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 about what may likely happen if you do not arm your brain with enough imformation... trust me, it's worth spending the time reading.
2) Hard-SPL your phone with Oli's bootloader, if you do not know how, find the forum thread pertaining to it.
3) Upgrade your radio to 1.27, 1.35 or even try the new Trinity 1.38. (without writing over the 1.10 Oli SPL) If you do not know how the information is there in the WIKI. Apparently WM6 does not work too well with the older radios.
I ran XDA .20 on my M3100 fine with no crashes using both Radio 1.27 & 1.35. Just about to try the Trinity 1.38.
If you are tempted to miss any of the steps. DON'T. Happy reading.
Hi Guys,
Great forum, i just wanna ask a probably annoying question lol.
Im in Australia with a Touch Diamond, I have SPL-1.40.OliNex installed and i just want to know which Radio and Rom to use in my Country.
Any Help will be appreciated.
Thanks Guys
please refer to the radio topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
keep in mind though, if you want to flash radio from different devices (listed in the link above), your device must be Security-Unlocked (which is different from HardSPL).
I dont have to use a SU Radio do i?
Does anyone have any information regarding which Non SU Radio to use or if i dont need to change my current one i wont, but i would like to change the Rom, which Rom would i use in Australia? Is it neccesary to change the Radio?

Make sure you are Hard SPL before flashing anything. Regardless of where you are in the world, you can select any cooked ROM.
As far as Radio is concern, reception performance and battery consumption is dependent on location so I would advise trying and testing different radios. Just stick to the Radio's located in POST #2 as they don't require you to be Security Unlocked........http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
Thanks alot, Yeh im Hard SPL, and am playing with a few Roms now, one other thing though i was going to put the latest radio on, but it was a way earlier version then i have currently
This......Radio v1.11.25.01 (Quad Band)(52.58.25.30H) (NEW) is the latest version. Which radio do u have now?
I'm a total noob so please bear with me...
Does the country you're in matter when selecting a radio version? Or can you just apply a radio upgrade regardless of where you are..
edit: ok, ive finished reading the diamond radio thread. i can see that you can only go by people's reports of how it goes for them in their region...

u got it.
You can Flash any Radio, but some have better GPS/WiFi/Signal/Battery than others.
i personally use 1.00.25.05 - as i get good signal and good battery. It is a older Radio tho, and dont tend to change much
Another question - If the Radio I have right now is working perfectly well - I shouldn't need to upgrade it if I flash a new Rom, right?

it depends on if the ROM includes a Radio or not, if the ROM does, then just flash the old radio back on it
remember - its always a good idea to do a Hard Reset after flashing a new ROM
Hi All,
Sorry, there is so much information on this site, i'm lost.
Can someone please provide links to what I need to download and install to upgrade a stock standard telstra diamond touch so I can get it working correctly with Optus?
Thanks.
OK, i've upgraded the bootloader to the hard spl, and the radio version is already at 1.00.25.06 (do you think its worth downgrading to 1.00.25.05??)
Now, what's the most popular rom for the diamond? What do people suggest?
Thanks.

I'm using Dutty's ROM at the mement. But I will be using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438313
when its bugs get sorted out since its based on the Diamond 2 thingo or whatever so it'll have some new features.
I'm the same as you. Bought the Telstra Diamond and chucked in my Optus SIM. Pretty much just have to any ROM and you won't have to see the Telstra branding everywhere.
That ROM you linked looks rather spic. What issues are stopping you from flashing that ROM now?

To be honest I didn't find out about that ROM until just before I found your post, Mainly time has been stopping me and the hassle, and I read that there are some little bugs that it has when skimming through the thread but there was nothing that was bad enough to make me not upgrade. Just don't want to Flash to the ROM and then have a new revision come out two days later which is better.
Think I'll upgrade to this ROM right not though
Thanks for your post.
I decided to use the rom that you linked to, and found found it a 1000% improvement from the Tesltra one.
Only issue I have found so far is trouble connecting to wifi networks. Will have a bit more of a play soon.
Apart from that, it's good.
I 'downgraded' to the 1.00.25.05 radio and seemed to get alot better battery life from it.
Regarding ROMs, I agree almost anything is better than the stock Telstra one
I have been doing a lot of reading on this topic and need some advice. I have found a lot of information on this site and ppcgeeks, but still havent found a true answer. I currently have the xv6900 with verizon stock rom which i upgraded earlier this year and i let customization run(not knowing that it screws everything up with gps). My current radio is 3.37.78 which I've read isn't bad but again I want gps since verizon disabled it. I've read the gps fix and I'm confident to do all that is required to make it work that I got from here
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
My question is since i have the radio which some people have and like and i do everything thats supposed to be done and end up with the same radio, can I unlock with 2.31 coke Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78 do not let customization run then flash NFSFAN's custom wm6.1 rom and do agps fix. Will that work?
I dont want to down grade my radio to just upgrade it again if i dont have to and I read that someone did just that and got it to work. Many thanks in advance
Read my GPS fix Thread in my sig below
you have to downgrade your radio to a pre-gps one. Just unlocking & reflashing the stock rom is not enough.
Hello,
This is a silly question but i have searched the entire forum+google and I didnt find an answer on this.
So 3 questions
I am considering to install the Virtuous v3.2.0 ROM and in the thread it says
You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.

Radio 2.x??? How do I know what radio version I have?
My Baseband version is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
1) So is this my radio version? And if it is how i determine if it is 2.X?
Also I read the thread for updating a radio
I have rooted and S-OFF the phone with Easy Radio and S-Off tool. My question is:
2) It is ok to jump to Step 3?
3) And the version of the Radio that i will flash has anything to do with the current version? I mean to put 2.X i need to have 1.X?
Thank you for your time!

Edit: I've just re-read your post and you've linked to a Droid Incredible ROM but you're posting in the Desire HD forums... The DHD radios won't work on a Droid Incredible, and the Incredible ROMs won't work on a DHD. Ignore everything below unless you're on a DHD!
I assume by "2.x radio" they mean a radio from one of the Gingerbread 2.x bases. Go to the Radio Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295 and check the description against each radio.
For example your radio for your 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M it says "HTC WWE 1.32.405.6", so I would think you need to update your radio. A lot of people are using the radio from the official Gingerbread final release
28th April 2011: Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5
Regarding flashing the radio, I haven't read that thread in detail but it's for the Droid Incredible, and the method won't be the same for the DHD. There are better instructions in the radio thread I linked. Hope that helps.
Nice one my dear me
Sorry I totally didnt notice that that ROM was for another phone. Someone suggested it and I didnt check it...
Thanks for the information I will read the post...
Thanks again

Heh, no problem. The radio info is good then. You're on a very old radio, so if you want to try a custom ROM based on Gingerbread then it would still be a good idea to update it. Check the thread and also follow the link in it to the info about Radio RILs.
And there is a Virtuous "Unity" ROM for the DHD by the same team, the thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115312
Thanks, maybe that was the one that the guy suggested then
I will check the links. Respect
Oh another small question
Can I jump directly and install 28th April 2011: Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5
Or because my radio is so old I will have to make some intermediate updates?

You won't have to make any intermediate updates, but I'm not 100% sure how the Gingerbread radios (2.x) work on Froyo ROMs - might be worth asking in the thread. I know people are doing it the other way around, i.e. using older Froyo radios (1.x) on newer GB ROMs.
But if you're on a Froyo ROM and about to change to a Gingerbread one, most custom GB ROMs have the RIL files for the radio above included. In that case you're fine, and it doesn't matter whether you flash the ROM or the radio first.
Yeap its me again Sorry for the many questions but I read that flashing a radio is too risky and I do not want to attempt anything before I am 100% sure that I have the full picture...
In the thread that you gave me with the radios (and thank you for that) next to the radio version there is a provider
eg
25th February 2011: Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3 - Orange UK 1.84.61.2 / CSL-HK CHT 1.84.832.2

Hi again. Don't worry, this is the Q&A forum after all.
I guess in theory flashing anything is risky, but it's very difficult to "brick" a DHD (i.e. make it completely un-fixable). I've flashed radios dozens of times, searching for that elusive perfect one. And if anything should go wrong (unlikely), as long as you have a working bootloader you can restore just about anything else. Just take your time and follow instructions written specifically for the DHD, the best ones are generally found in these forums.
By the way, you need to have Eng S-OFF (engineering bootloader) to flash radios in the standard way, do you have that yet? If not, jkoljo's tool for that is the best way, it has loads of fail-safes built in to make sure it works correctly.
To answer your questions, you can ignore the provider name (e.g. Orange, Cingular) - that just means the radio was released specifically for that carrier, but it often works well with other networks. For example the best radio for me on Froyo was the Cingular one, but I'm on Vodafone in the UK.
It's hard to tell you the best radio, as it depends on your network, location, etc. - for example one radio might use more power, and use more battery in areas with good signal strength (e.g. cities), but it would work better in areas with a poor signal. This is why some people flash different radios to test them.
It can also depend on which ROM you're planning to use. Gingerbread ROMs are generally built to work with the 28th April official radio, so I would suggest starting with that if you're on a GB ROM.
By the way, the key bit of the radio name that identifies it is the part after the underscore character "_", so for the
Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5
radio you can refer to it as the "26.09.04.11_M2" radio.
If you're on a Froyo ROM, I would start off with the 26.04.02.17_M2_SF radio Drakknar recommends. If you're on a Gingerbread ROM, I would start with 26.09.04.11_M2. If it works fine, you're done. Unless you're like some of us, obsessively searching for something just slightly better.
Just don't forget that if you flash a radio other than the one recommended for the ROM, you should also flash the matching RIL file. The radio thread has a link to the RIL thread. The RIL for the ROM's recommended radio will already be included in it, though.
Anyone else reading this should feel free to jump if they have any differing advice!
I already have ENG S-OFF and I am using a Gingerbread ROM more specifically TRUE SENSE 3.0 - i00 ROM 5.5 (Since Android version that my device reports is 2.3.3)
But I have some issues with creating and renaming folders on the Home screen, and I cannot report it as bug because I do not have the required posts
Anyway Thanks again for the quick and detailed answer!

Ah, that ROM does recommend the 26.04.02.17_M2_SF radio, I see what you mean, I assume they have included the relevant RILs so I would start off with that one. It certainly performed very well for a lot of people, despite being an older radio.
Good luck with your homescreen bug.
