I am interested in trying on of the cooked Roms on my ATT 8525, however I am concerned about converting back to the ATT rom. I would like to use the K's WM6.0 Lite FINAL from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350695
Can I just run the ATT WM6 install like I did when I upgraded from WM5? Or do I need to do something more complicated?
I am sorry for my newbishness, I do not do a whole lot with WM devices, I am mainly a server/pc/network tech.
Thank you for your help,

it can be done pretty much exactly the same.
ive actually reflashed an att rom back onto a phone after having several roms, and sent the phone back to get it replaced with the warranty

Yes, thats all you have to do if you go back to the AT&T ROM for the 8525. Same as upgrading from WM5.... Good luck and Read, Read, Read.. This forum is addicting...

You say pretty much, is there something I need to know? hehehe
This is my work phone so I seriously dont want to screw up
install hardspl first, with that chances of you turning your phone into a brick dramatically reduces by a factor of 2854.23 exactly

Although you don't HAVE to install hardspl, i've never had a problem just doing safe softspl installs..
Thank you guys very much, im looking for the HardSPL download now and I am going to flash to K's WM6.0 Lite FINAL.

HardSPL is one of the greatest gifts, as XtreMe_G says. Actually I can't imagine not HardSPLing, why take a chance....
I paid $500 buckazoids for my 8525, with the 2 year. Explaining a "brick" to my wife (much less Cingular) when I had the means to not brick... I don't think so.
As a precaution, it's always worth reading MrVanx's Hermes Upgrade Guide
Thank you for your help, I got the new rom on the phone with almost no trouble. I had some issues with my direct push email. But I fixed that by removing the proxy that was set.
This is much, much faster then then the rom I was running before (ATT WM6 release).
The only other problem I seem to have is the weather doesnt seem to want to connect, I looked it up and figured out the code for my city (Danville VA USA) I used NAM|US|VA|DANVILLE
This works if you go through the Accuweather website, but it doesnt want to connect through the phone... anyone have any ideas? The phone goes out to the internet fine, getting email and browsing.
there is plenty of threads about this including this one
Can someone ectract from the latest WWE Rom the RADIO?
Thanks
Dont bother, its also bad version
??? bad version?
radio is worse???
i read that this is the best rom till now. better radio,less memory leakage,better battery life.
i will be testing it this weekend. still testing 1.37.405.1WWE
Battery life seems to be better, this is true(or HTC just "adjusted" the battery display ).
3G connections also seem to be more stable, the HSDPA connections don't switch too easily back to GPRS or EDGE anymore, at least this is my feeling about it.
So no matter if this is an effect of the new ROM as a whole or just an effect of the radio ROM, it is definetely worth updating.
I wouldn't agree at all that the new Radio is "bad" or worse than the 0.93.xxx versions, definetely NOT.
is the only RADIO rom available?

How many times have you already asked this???
People aren't blind, they're reading your request.
Making almost a dozend posts with the same request actually annoys people, honestly.
this post is my first and only ask about this matter..... i haven't asked more...
keep it quiet friend!
good night
in my opinion this radio version isnt better then the former one i had. I have still very bad reception while my touch cruise receives full.
flipping though the ultimate radio list, most replies were out of the US and those that were, only 1 was with AT&T and that 1 user has a custom ROM.
how many AT&T users do we have here?? don't tell me 2. I am interested in the 25.23 since it's fast but eats up battery life which i can live with since a charger is always nearby for me.
any other radios AT&T users here are running off of? thanks!
I am on AT&T in New Orleans, LA. I am using 1.09.25.23 and have been satisfied with it. It does use a bit more battery than the stock radio I was on, but overall I have been satisfied. I am able to get signal in almost every place, which is saying a lot since I am a med student, and most phones drop signal as you walk in the hospital.

wow, that's great to hear. i'm trying to flash it but i'm stuck at 0% with the 262 error.
gonna investigate and get this radio rom working; i really need something that has better/faster gps reception as well as getting a signal though what i have now, 25.08 isn't *that* bad when it comes to calls/data.
I have AT&T in FL and I've been using Radio 1.15.25.14 with the same Rilphone...battery life is great, I typically get 36-48 hours with pretty heavy use (calls, text, email, facebook, internet, playing...) I've had no problems with call quality or anything. Don't know if there's a better radio, but this one has been working great for me. Not sure about the speed of the GPS, although with "my location" in the weather tab, it tends to find me quickly...hope that helps.
Interesting Andrew I might have to give that a try. I was pretty happy with my radio, but it has been draing pretty quick with yoz's new rom. How are you liking Benko's rom? I had it, but not the 5.0, previous versions were a little buggy for me.
As far as the gps for my rom, gps takes a while the first time I boot it up after a rom instal, but after than, I am able to get a lock in under 30 secs usually. I do use quick gps, so not sure if that makes a difference.
sumtin wong.... i can't flash anything. i can't even put in a hard-spl (any version) on my phone to change the radio.

Hi Andrew I too am in Florida, in O town! Sorry for the NOB question,but how do I change the Radio code? I Have a stock HTC Diamond 3G, so I'm just trying to figure out the best Rom that is Stable, Fast, and bug free. Also I want to Run Touch Flow3D 2 on it. Any suggestions?

I'm not too far from you, up in Fruitland Park, just north of Leesburg...
As far as changing the radio, there's some good stickies on how to do that, as well as upgrading ROM, and I'm not qualified enough to try to explain it...
Recommendations on ROMs: from what I've found, ALL of them have some things you'll like, and some things that you won't...it's a matter of trying out a bunch til you find the one that suits you. I've been switching on a regular basis just to find the nonexistant perfect ROM. My thoughts: Benko's are real nice, stable, and functional. I'm downloading 5.8 now, so we'll see. Couldn't use 5.7 b/c of email issues. NRG's are the best looking, but RAM issues are a consistant problem. SUN Y RC1 is my current, but I've been having some weird issues, and I like WM 6.5 or 6.5.1 better than 6.1...
Again, just my two cents, try some out and see what you like...but be careful, it's addicting

Thanks for replying back Andrew! yeah you are not too far from O town, good stuff. Hey would you mind sending me a link to download that same Radio code you have. I too am using At&T on my stock Radio from HTC v1.00.25.08. Its not that great at all, I hardly get more than half signal strength. I would appreciate it if you could share a link where I could get it. I couldn't find it on the Stickies for Radio upgrading. Thanks pal. Hey I heard this ROM is really good and stable 6.5cleanbasic ROm, I'm going to give this a try..

I have AT&T and im from chicago, I have been using v1.11.25.01 Radio, and its been not bad at all. GPS is about 20sec, battery life is enough for what I use it for, but I would not mind checking a new radio.

One of the links for the 1.15 radio is in post 773...FYI, I don't mind sharing the info, but there are some people on here that will yell at you for not searching...just type in diamond radio 1.15 in the search to find more info. (I actually had to do that to re-find the radio).
@apple, I have hardspl 1.40 as well, that's all you need, just make sure you've read all the flashing info ahead of time so you don't brick you're phone.

Hi Guys,
I'm in SF Bay Area using AT&T, have been using 1.00.25.16 on my DIAM100 (Diamond from UK). One thing I'm frustrated with newer radios (those ones other than 1.00.25.*) is I couldn't get 850MHz band to work on my Diamond. With my current radio, signal quality is fair and battery lasts only about a day.
Can anyone please try to identify if your are on the AT&T 850MHz band.
What I need to know is:
1. Your Diamond Version: DIAM??? or just US Diamond, or EU Diamond
2. Your Radio Version:
2. the "Band" from the HTC Field Test: can be PCS or 850
To invoke the HTC Field Test, just dial
*#*#364#*#*
Some chefs removed this utility from their ROM, but you can always get it from the following thread.

im using 1.00.08.25 in Indiana, i tried the newest 1.17 but it didn't work out to well around here.
battery life is great, usually 2-3 days with normal use (text/call and internet browsing occasionally) gps speed is good, kinda has a tendency to lag about half a block behind my actual position, but i think most of them are like that.
Hi all, Ive been a member here awhile (since my first tilt). I now have a tilt 2. Now i need some advice from the people that has more experience than i. Here is my question, I'm under the assumption that the radio in the rom is what gets the reception for the phone during a call. My problem is my new tilt doesn't have the reception the old tilt had. With the old phone i could talk almost anywhere, The new phones reception is horrible. What rom could i use to get my reception back? I love my new phone, But with the horrible reception I'm thinking of returning the phone. Thanks in advance.
PS my current radio version is 4.48.25.20. I am also located in north Mississippi.

Yes, you are correct, the radio is what handles the phone call communication (as well as 3G, wifi, and bluetooth)...and using different radios can improve reception.
You can indeed replace just the radio, and not everything else on your ROM...but the procedure is pretty much identical.

Hey thanks for the confirm, Now one more question. When i try to open the RHODIUM-HARDSP i get a virus warning. It says BLOODHOUNDw32ep virus detected. Has this file been infected or is it ok. If infected where can i get a good file? And again thanks for the info. PS i downloaded the one for the verizon network(cdma i think) and it opened fine. I know i cant use this one though.

I beleive that's discussed in the HardSPL thread (make sure you read it all thoroghly!), but that's just a false positive, it's known that some AV programs will give warnings like that on custom ROMs.
I have read till my eyes bled ( dont want to brick my phone) But i don't understand why the other file opened without a warning. Again thanks for the reply.

I bought unlocker from rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com.
I did NOT have any problems to unlock the phone and there was no virus warnings.
After the phone was unlock I load .91 radio and Energy Feb 26 ROM. The phone has much much better reception and faster GPS.
I have had this phone a little over a month now leaving behind my 4th touch pro. So far i have found nothing on here for my poor snap No roms, no nothing made just for snap. 6.5 is out for sprint has anyone tried to cook that one up and unlock the vendor stuff? Im not much of a hacker or anything but theres gotta be something for this little guy. Its quick but bein left behind on 6.1
Get back to me thanks
Yeah if you are on sprint you should have the Snal S511. Check the serial number and if you see S511 then follow the links below for unlocking and rom.
