i have no clue. if you try it, please tell us.

any bell users update?

This is the same radio that came on my Sprint Touch. It is a pretty good radio but there are some places where I still can't get reception. Basic reception issues that you will get with most any radio.
Overall the coverage with this radio is excellent.

DCD I Love You!!!
Im A Bell User, And I Was Having Reception Issues In My House,
In My Own Bedroom Infact, After Installing This Radio, Those Issues Seem
To Have Gone Away, No More Static, And Voice Breaking Off!!
Thank You!!
O To Install Simply Unlock Your Phone With The Custom Bootloader,
Then Run The Radio Exe
And DCD
The Altel Touch Radio From What I Heard Is Newer Then 2.13
Is It Possible That You Can Get Your Hands On That?

would this work with telus touch as well ?? It only changes the radio and that's it?
thanks

yes it should work for the telus touch as well!

just a note installing this radio is like installing a rom, it will wipe your phone clean so do a backup.

Where did you find that vogue update file that you extracted the radio from? I would like a copy.

Quick Question for dcd
I was wondering if you would recomend the 2.13 radio over the 1.40 to use in conjunction with your 1.6.10 sprint rom? I know in the end its all up to me just wondering what you thought about it.
Thanks for all your work

Over @ PPCgeeks, I believe Latissimo has the complete ROM with that radio...... just check their FTP site...
hth

any chance of a Alltel Radio ROM? Since a guy here posted its newer then bell and sprint....thanks

Telus 2.15
For the person who asked about use of this on a Telus Touch: I got my Touch in November and the Radio ROM that came with it is newer than this (2.15) so you don't even need this one.

DCD, If I'm not mistaken, it's the same firmware you used in your custom ROM 0.20? (Which I love, btw... and am waiting eagerly for your next one)
DJ

I just installed this 2.13 radio Rom on my Bell HTC Touch and its working fine. It seems to have full bars for my EV Data connection all the time now, but it still only has 2 bars when it drops down to 1X for a voice call when I'm at the back of my house. THis is the same as before with the 1.59.10 Rom. I tested out the voice and is sounds a bit better so I think its improvement so far.

i just want to know which has faster data speeds as some say the 159.10a is very fast

Custom GPS rom for telus

http://rapidshare.com/files/112775037/CustomTelusGPSRomForTouch.zip.html
As always use at your own risk.
write down your MDN and MSID before you start
Removed:
Relaxed security.
HTC Home , because i dont like , its not very useful and takes too much space and memory.
ArcsoftMMS , because it does not work with telus
Alltel customizations.
HTC Cube , ( Left touchflo intact , just cube part is removed)
Some other stuff that i dont remember.
Added:
Jbed java
Opera mini ( has its own icon, removed security warning you get everytime you connect)
Dotfred's task manager
GPS launcher for those who use TomTom etc.
PDC clock
PHM notepad
Pocket Rar.
addes cabs of telus mobile email, google maps, live search, spb mobile shell to my documants. you can install these if you want.
Mini Howto
step 1 Unlock / install bootloader from
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe
You must follow onscreen instructions very carefully as its very easy to miss something.
step 2
Install Alltel stock rom
http://216.139.227.226/alltel/RUU_V..._NV2.00_PRL30008_0331_Ship_withSpecialNBH.exe
Boot it up after flashing but do not align screen , if you miss that do not let customizations run.
step 3
Install my custom telus rom from
http://rapidshare.com/files/112775037/CustomTelusGPSRomForTouch.zip.html
If your data is not working
You did not follow instructions in step 2. Please repeat step 2 and step 3

I there anyway you could do up a rom that is identical to the rom released with the telus htc touches now but with the GPS support? Ie... still has HTC Home and the cube etc. I like the rom the way it is I just want the GPS support. I emailed Telus and they wouldnt give me an update on when they are releaseing there rom update.

I believe this rom has gps and rev A.
Another cook, welcome to the club. Good luck man

Thank you.
I am not a professional cook.
I like newest stock base with some programs added or removed. Everybody is cooking with wm6.1 that is designed for other devices. So i had to cook for myself. Whatever i cook, I just post it here so that somebody else with similar taste can use it.
BTW its not my first rom, i had cooked some for Titan, i just bought touch and cloned it with titan.

hey i would love to put this rom on my phone. i have never flashed my phone befor so i will be doing some reading. Any suggested threads for flashing my telus touch. also how do i find out my MDN and MSID? i just want gps why can't telus put out an official update now
Edit:Nevermind i found it. will probably be venturing to flash this tonight or over the weekend

Thank you verry much for this rom a1jatt i flashed it on my phone last night with no problem. theire is one thing i noticed that is a little annoying don't know if it's happening to you but the phone dialer keep popping up at random times when i close other applications. Apart from that so far it's better than the stock telus rom.

i have a question. I wondering if when telus comes out with the official rom upgrade will i be able to upgrade to it with no issues(assuming they are activating gps and have a 3.xx radio version) also will this re-lock my phone.

There is some information on ppcgeeks.com .. you can flash back to .40 spl / unlocker and then flash oem rom, that will overwrite most of the stuff. but right now its advised not to do so but seems like they are working on it.
Even if telus comes with new ROM i think its best to keep it unlocked. I think its safer that way.

thank you for your reply. Could i get the latest version of this rom. i absolutly love it. it works much better than the stock rom

You got a PM.

great thank you again for this rom

Sweet...
Anyone tested out the radio yet?

I installed it, stopped customization and then ran my dcd carrier cab.
So far so good, seems to be pretty responsive. For me its more responsive then some recent custom roms I've ran. No issues with the calls or with data. I'll report if anything comes up.

Can you flash just the radio using the SD card?? I have a Titan, but my friend has the Vogue..... I have the radio that was posted on the Titan upgrade forum by DCD, can this be flashed to his Vogue??

This new Bell ROM is simply THE BEST one I have tried. Now granted I am a Bell customer but this ROM gets a GPS lock faster then any of the other ones I have tried.

Hi folks,
During the rom update, do we need to let the customization runs or soft reset before ?
Thank you

question new to the whole rom upgrading dealy
would the bell 6.1 upgrade interfere with my verizon service and whatnot?

Yes. I just let 'er rip. Lost a lot of cool utilities but well worth the pain of finding them again. GPS lox in seconds. Indoors! It's a beautiful thing. No more waiting 10 minutes for GPS. No worries about upgrading from a non-Bell rom, either.
(i am a Bell customer)

Can I use the ROM to my HTC Touch. I do not use Bell. I'm from Bangladesh and use a local provider here. So what you suggest, should I proceed with that?

Should be fine, just don't let the customization run. Be sure to take down all of your settings before you flash too, incase they are lost.

Can someone put the file on rapidshare or some other server. The HTC link to download the file is saying "not found" now.

official bell 6.1 update
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I have a new Alltell Touch, I lost my old modded one as far as Alltel is concerned. I downloaded the new Bell rom because i want the upgraded radio. I unlocked my phone using Cokeman's unlocker and tried to flash to the Bell rom. It gets to 31% and stops and will not go any further, when I retry it gives me an "Invalid Vendor ID" error. I am able to reflash back to the original Alltel rom with no problem. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? I'm not new to this and I'm getting my arse handed to me by this phone, lol.

HELP! I installed the rom update and I have gps, threaded text messaging and everything but I don't have the "slide panel" interface signature to windows mobile 6.1! why not?

Are you sure you are using a vogue and not an elf? Do they have CDMA in Bangladesh, I would assume it would be GSM.
IF you are using GSM you can't flash that rom.

Instant GPS locks on the Verizon XV6900

I can't take any credit for this, I just followed the instructions. After trying hundreds of "fixes" I was skeptical, but this is the one that works. If you have a custom rom and are getting substandard GPS fixes. This WILL work for you on the Verizon XV6900. It is a must! 8 satellites in my office on a cloudy day. LOCKED within 5-10 seconds.

Does anyone know why the ##3424 doesn't work on the 6900 with a custom ROM?

Most likely because you have a skinned phone app, most of them will break the ##codes. You should be able to just go ahead into the windows directory and launch dmrouter.exe

Rev A and GPS
Do the Verizon 6.1 update and then do the Vahalla GPS .cab
I ran both and had it all done in 10 minutes.
Have VZW 6.1 , Rev A and fast gps locks !!!!!
The Valhalla gps cab is over at ppcgeeks.com
Vogue upgrages - Verizon 6.1 update - page 14
post is by neamanracing.
The rom is really fast (data) and really stable.
Getting 6-8 satilite locks in 10 - 15 seconds

unlock
do you have unlocked phone and used the "stocked rom" for wm6.1 realeased in the past week but not officially by vzw and htc? I have not unlocked yet but am interested in the stock rom released unofficially this week. I intend to release gps although i dont really need it and i was wondering if i can do this w/o unlocking? thanks.

My phone had stock rom and radio,
all I did was run the update and the
Vahalla gps cab. Had no problems.
If VZW released an update the general
public would not know how to unlock a
phone so the update does it for you.
Lots of info over at ppcgeeks - vouge
updrades - vzw 6.1 update thread ,page 14.

agreed
thanks, i havent unlocked my phone and although interested in gps it is not a feature that i have to have but with the stock rom and not unlocking then i can still upgrade to 6.1 and use the valhalla cab to unlock gps. thanks for answering that. i agree about the masses that is why verizon will lock down gps on 6.1 and sell the masses thier nav service. as soon as my contract is up im dumping vzw thier tech hording crap is pissing me off. sprint has done a much better job releasing the tech.

Link does not work anymore
Hi, the first post on this thread had a link to a wiki page, which in turn had a link to a page on cinconet where the valhalla gps fix cab was. That link no longer works!! Anyone know where the file can be found now? Was the poster forced to take it off use???

does this still work? I read on ppcgeeks where several people were complaining that their gps stopped working. I am a noob so please help. I have tried like 10 different things to get this working and nothing has worked. Currently running Kristal v5 rom with 3.37.xx radio. I am going to try to upgrade the radio to 3.42.50 if I can figure out how to do it. Valhalla.cab had no effect on my current setup.

"Radio" in reference to "new radio" or "flashing a radio" refers to a radio rom -- it's a software thing. And it affects (at least) your cell connection as well as your GPS connection...and probably how well the radio uses power and affects battery life. And I'm very happy with the new radio I'm using -- better than the stock radio.
But in order to flash a new radio (radio-rom) you need to first do the HardSPL thing, which is also required before flashing an OS rom.
So, if you say you don't want to flash a new OS rom (to avoid voiding your warranty, for example), then you probably won't want to do the HardSPL either, because that's as major (from a non-stock standpoint) as flashing a rom.

If you read just a few threads above this one you´ll find some interesting answers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679322

I have done quite a bit of reading but it still is not clicking. I need a beginners article. I will find it, but have not yet.
So the Hard-SPL thing-a-ma-jiggy at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131 - is that just for the radio or a ROM / radio. I do not mind flashing a radio, just do not want to flash a ROM because I don't have a need and do not want to spend the rest of my life on this new toy - i mean necessary piece of office equipment.
What radio would the Hard-SPL at that link give me? Is it true that software alone can increase the number of 3G bars?

I don't know the technical explanation...but the HardSPL is necessary in order to flash any rom -- that means a new radio (rom) or a new custom OS rom. (By "OS--rom" I mean all of those custom roms listed in all those threads in the TP2 Windows Mobile ROM Development sub-forum) The phone won't accept the non-stock rom (including radio-rom) without the HardSPL.
The HardSPL doesn't change anything else, though. You still have the same radio and the same stock rom. But it's necessary to do that before you flash a non-stock radio-rom or a non-stock OS rom.
Radio-roms (software) can improve your reception...but which one will/may do that depends on where you're located and other factors, so you would probably want to try more than one -- but once you've done it you'll see it's easy. It's also possible that 3G coverage in your area is simply poor.
If you need/want more details about alternative radio-roms you probably should post in the Rhodium GSM Radio Collection thread.

Perfect answer, amigo!

Brenda, I saw that you were thinking about doing the tmo 6.5 upgrade anyway, which of course includes the .57 radio, and that's the path I would suggest...it'll let you try out wm6.5 as well as that radio, and flashing an official upgrade like that is even easier than doing the HSPL-custom rom thing. So, that way you can see if either of those changes are good for you, with minimum effort and hassle. If the .57 radio doesn't seem to offer any improvement, then you can start getting into flashing others to try...and if you do then I suggest you start with the one MCBrian has in his sig, .77

Thanks sirphunkee for all you rhelp. I will take your advice. I was going to upgrade to 6.5 right away but decided to load a ton of software on my phone first to see what I liked. Well .... I like it all. Now I have so much software that I do not want to take a weekend to reload everything. But I will have to bite the bullet. I sit in a cube all day and like to listen to streaming music. I have napster but I like the unpredictability and pleasant surprises that a streaming station can offer. The low bars are interfering with my music.
I have kept good notes on all my applications installs and have all the software and "fixes". Have screen prints of all my "setups" for email. I use activesync with my desktop Outlook so all of that is saved. Don't think that there is anything else to save. Just wonder if you have any advice before I upgrade. Is there anything I should do before wiping clean my device? Should I clean my program files, outlook attachments, etc on my storage card?
