Here is the promised radio.

Radio is not signed and please posts your results

it is unsigned, you would need the developer Hard SPL for that

Hmm it´s on... in V 1.40
or did I get something totally wrong?
Or d´y mean the 2.60?

Flashed.
I have tested GPS fix just after flashing Panosha light 4 Rom. First fix in 9 seconds,with IGO8 (very good),second and third fixes instantly. Now I will test 2G and 3G signal in some "bad zone"

Cheers bepe, will check it out. I've not been impressed so far with any of the updates. What are you using in Germany?

I gona try to test it on 0.53!

Woooowwwww
Better signal in hsdpa, for sure and for the first time
11 satellites with tomtom 7 in five seconds....., man it rocks

woooowwwwww
forgot one thing: rom project diamond V2; and i'm testing at this time again; there is a big progress in terms of reception quality, here in france with sfr 3G+

Energy feedback ?
Please guys,
Don't forget to talk about energy consumption with this radio.
Thanks.

..me too stupid
Grrr
Today it´s not my day...
Gimme a hint...
Unsigned Olinex HardSPL 1.40
Custom RUU
When Flashing i get a "wrong device ID" error after 5% (Invalid MODEL ID)
(the RUU says that the Radio Image is V 0.0.0.0)
Any Clues?

about energy consumption, this is too early to say anything.....

Correct me if I am wrong, but GPS has nothing to do with Radio rom?

Hello Riel,
Are you sure ?
The GPS uses a communication protocol, right ?
What does the radio ROM on our PDA Phone ?

It all runs on a single Chip inside our Diamonds ;-)

How did you start the RUU? Try it from bootloader menu.
1, Bootloader
2, Start ruu.

So, I give you my feedback :
This ROM Radio give me only an EDGE connection.
Where I am, usualy I get a poor reception of 3G signal with .03 an .05 ROM.
But, with the .02.25.11 I've got no 3G signal.
No difference for me with the GPS fix.
For the moment, I'll back to the .05 one.

Hello,
Will Flashing ONLY the Radio Rom mean, that all settings will be saved, or will the device be Hard-reset ?

hmmm, im not sure, cant remember but i think that settings will be saved!
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.
I've done a rom upgrade on my Xda exec the radio is still 1.04.02.

OK - which RADIO do you have? - this is not clear.
You should try - Hard reset - install tomtom6.03 start up tomtom - sometimes for say 30s tomtom can say no GPS device - before the message changes to waiting for a valid GPS signal. Be patient.
Also search for "no GPS Trinity" here: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
you should find others with the same experience as you!
Good luck.
hi,
i have read in this forum, that any Radio ROM ending in 1 have GPS enable, so you must wait a litle time (1-2minutes) before your GPS program fix the GPS signal.
i installed it with trinity info guide and used this radio version 1.46.00.11. but my device information show radio version to be 1.16.00.00 and ROM version 2.0.8.2. should i flash it with another radion 1.46.00.11 GPS available on this forum? Pl help. sorry for double post, i was really confused where to put it and was really desperate for my GPS. i will be careful next time. thanks for your reply. i am trying other options

hey! We have exactly same problem! the radio also show 1.16.00.00 on mine!
Upgrade your radio then it should work! had a friend who had also a very old version. He got's it fixed with upgrade!
i have already replied you in the other thread where you posted this issue.. there's no need to double post this. I've posted the link to hard-spl 1.20
you need to use hard-spl 1.20 olipro to install your radio, 1.30 has resulted in radios not being flashed even though you follow all the steps.. there is a note about this in the guide if you read it carefully.
Flashed With Olipro 1.20
RACERX i have flashed it with olipro 1.20 but still it shows no GPS device? even after 20 minutes of keeping tomtom on. should i upgrade rom to 1.40 GPS, i saw one on this forum. although i have downloaded it but it ROM update utility shows pretty strange words on its menu!!! what next
what radio do you currently have
The problem is clearly that you radio ROM is not up to date - and that it why you don't have GPS.
hi buddy! I got it solved!!! Yes it's the problem of the radio, and seems that if your hard SPL version is 1.30, you are not able to flash the radio. everytime it seemed works but after flash the radio just remain the same.
read this thread,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1483529#post1483529
there is a radio ROM with hard SPL which flashs the hard SPL first then the radio. I succesfully found the device and got GPS working yesterday!

No - reading is out of the question. What you have to do (especially if you are new) is just create a new thread - or if not post the same question in as many threads as you can find that are half relevant.
(This of course is cynical sarcasm. Please - do not do the above. I implore you all to READ - as you will find the answers. Also - when you find an answer to your question - try thanking the person who brought you the answer - instead of pretending that you found something new out)
Probably radio version 1.46.00.11
i flashed using trinity info guide and used radio version 1.46.00.11. but my device information show radio version to be 1.16.00.00 and ROM version 2.0.8.2. should i flash it with another radion "1.46.00.11 GPS" (but RUU shows strange wording on the menu when i launched it but didn't install it cause i wanted a go from u) available on this forum?
my goodness... it says on the bottom of the guide in BRIGHT RED FONT "If you have followed these steps, but your radio has not been upgraded, please install Olipro's Hard-SPL version 1.20 found here using SSPL (do not enter bootloader manually) and try to flash your radio again. After doing so, it is recommended that you flash Hard-SPL 1.30 again."
i've now posted this info in the million noob threads as well... seriously ppl..
Thank You Very Much
RACERX you are the MAN, you really are an expert. Now my GPS device is working but searching for the signals as i am in Pakistan these days. Know of any south asian (pakistan or saudi arabia) maps available.
Besides tomtom, which one is the best GPS navigator? And if possible can u tell me where i can find information regarding using my laptops net connection for my PDA? i am an old user of computers (since 1991) but a newbee in the world of pocket pc, and its because of you that i could change completely my SFR s300+ into an english windows mobile 6. I will donate something for you man. I read many threads carefully but was wondering around untill you pulled me outg of this trouble.
Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH
glad it helped.. i'm not familiar with which map programs support pakistan. I use MapKing for Singapore where i am, and love it ... i don't see a pakistan map, but you can check http://www.mapking.com/en/MK10/MK10_Dowload_Eng.htm#Malaysia Tom Tom seems to be quite popular, but again i don't know what countries it supports. Maybe you could try garmin or something? I know that they at least support thailand and such.
about your net connection, you basically want to use your trinity as a bluetooth modem? I've never done it, actually, but i think there are some threads on it if you search around. sorry i can't be more help. let me know if you get stuck
Thanks Again
I really appreciate for your timely and valuable response.

Hard reset after radio upgrade?

Or even downgrade? I'm running radio 1.18 against the latest WWE T Mobile ROM and it drops signal a little too often. So, quick poll, which radio is best? 1.17? 1.15? 1.09?
And do I need to hard reset the Universal after a radio upgrade?
Cheers all.
ps, whilst I'm being lazy, a link to preferred radio would be appreciated
The most tested (and stable) radio version is 1.15.
I tried 1.18 too, but I experienced problems as you.
So I downgraded to 1.15.
You don't need to hardreset after a radio upgrade/downgrade.
ftp://xda:[email protected]//Uploads/Universal/Radio/1.15.00.rar
Thanks, you're the best. In fact, it's no word of exaggeration when I say I love you and want your babies
Hi guys,
Is it only me or it's a common problem: that's what I get when I try to download the file by your link: ISA Server: extended error message :
220 Welcome to FTP service.
530 Permission denied.
Could you please give another working link to radio 1.15?
thanks
If you ask, then we do our utmost to help...

Oh and no need to have my babies... Mine are almost grown up, so I can actually have some money to myself now!!

(old one) Diamond Radio Thread

Thread closed. Please visit the new one.
In my experience, I have only tried 1.25.03, 1.25.05, and 1.25.08 on my MDA Compact IV with Swift's V7.0 Full Rom (recommended!)
Out of those three, .08 appears to give me the most stable (and slightly better HSDPA) signal on T-Mobile UK in the south.
I can't say I have noticed any difference in battery life between .05 and .08, both of which are approx (IMO) 30% better than .03
GPS aquisition - maybe a tad faster on .08, but I reckon it is impossible to make any reasonable judgement. I have certainly had no problems with acquisition on any of them, with all of them acquiring within 30 secs.
WIFI - I use a WPA2 encrypted network, and have never got my diamond to connect with any rom or any radio - it times out on the first key exchange so I cannot really comment at this time.
Hope that helps someone.

ill try 08 today when i get home today from work
Reverted back from .08 to .05 after a couple of days. Seems that .05 is better for me: better UMTS signal reception.
ROM: Swift 7.0
Country / Provider: NL / KPN
GPS: .05 and .08 perform similar
UMTS: .05 is better than .08
judging from these posts i think i'll have to try .08 too, i was on .03 as stock and i've changed to .05 and it was stable enough to not go back, however, an increase in HSPDA would be nice
has is ever been clearly determined if there is a Radio Rom upgrade that will take a European Diamond and get it to function on 3G with ATT/Cingular in the US? If so, which one?

has it been clearly proved? i have not seen any real proof that it works or does not work. users here say they know and it sooo obvious, but still no written proof. its been a while since that US version has been around and not 1 peep. so, i really just gave up. even with edge speed my phone still fux up any device that comes near.
I have a question what radio version need to use for 3G in 1900Mhz?, thanks..
.08 rocks!
Well, I had bought the Touch Diamond EURO version, not realizing what I was doing. I live in Anchorage, Alaska, USA, I did the Dutty Rom, HardSPL, etc..
Then I went to the .08 radio, WALLA!
Where I had 1 bar or no service, now I have 5 bars.
I am gonna make a donation to Dutty! This is AWESOME!!!
Up here in AK, soon, we will have 3G via AT&T also SUPPOSEDLY!!
These threads ROCK!!!!
a newbie question again!
i tried to upgrade from .05 to .08 but nothing happened and I think that is because I have original ROM.

You can keep the original ROM and update the Radio.
You need to Hard SPL your Diamond (look in stickies for instructions) then download a radio and install.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DONE HARD SPL FIRST!!!
otherwise you will end up with a Diamond shaped paperweight
i tried .08 Radio but it drains my battery realy fast. Reverting back to .05 again
I disabled 3G because the phone is switching all the time, bad 3G reception in my neighbor
Country: NL
Operator: T-mobile
Band: tested GPRS, tested 3G, no difference in batt usage @.08
No No No.....08.....
I WOULD ADVISE YOU NOT TO USE 08 RADIO BECAUSE I PUT IT AND WHEN THEY WERE CALLING ME I WAS LOOSING CALLS AND IT WAS MAKING 10 SECONDS TO CONNECT AND OFFCOURSE THE OTHER PERSON WAS CLOSING THE PHONE..............I WAS PUTTING BACK 05 AND EVERYTHING IS OK AGAIN...................
BE CAREFUL MY FRIENDS........DONT UPDATE YET........

BlackStone radio (SU) 1.17.25.09 for Diamond

You have to Security Unlock your phone first
Security Unlocking the phone will speed it up too.
Don't use this radio in conjunction with Sim or Security unlocking. Use an Old ORIGINAL Diamond Radio for this.
I replaced the signature of the header with a Diamond one and it' flashed ok.
Blackstone radio 1.17.25.09
get the flasher from Here
Use the RUU application to flash the radio. Don't copy the file to your storage.
Current posts indicate that this radio is great with GPS and quad band.
less than 20 seconds to get a gps signal
P.S. Don't blame me if you end up bricking your phone. Follow the instructions and you'll have a kick ass radio.

Good stuff!
OK glad to hear it's ok on Security Unlocked phone.
It's quite a beefy size compared to standard radios for Diamond.
I did a quick gps test with tomtom and I noticed GPS was a little more accurate and responsive and also picked up a signal in less that 20 seconds.
This was after running the GPS updater download app and right after re-flashing the rom.
tnx
is this have better signall than 1.16.25.48 (X1) ?
