I see some threads on upgrading "Radio" for the Universal .. what exacly is "Radio" ? ..
Null
Your device is a wireless phone. The "wireless" portion is hardware that connects to a base station via a radio frequency (800, 900, 1800MHz, etc).
These "Radio" upgrades talked about here are software upgrades that improve the functionality of the radio receiver built into your device.
I just upgraded the xda with the lates o2 rom is it important for me to install this upgrade?
Thanks
hi
can anyone point me in the direction of the download for this rom - i keep seeing it in people's sigs and i'm jealous
cheers

A newer version of the radio stack is not necessarily better than the older one. For example, several members in the UK find 1.09 works better than 1.11
I don't know where the 1.12 radio stack is, but the 1.11 is available here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Radio
1.11 radio problems
I have had strange probems with 1.11, including loss of signal & inability to dial in places where there is a signal. Only starts working again after a soft reset. Its intermittent but reason enough to go back to the QTEK ROM with radio 1.09.

I have a feeling that it depends on where you use your phone...
I had the same probs with droping calls where the phone worked before in the UK with 1.11 going to try 1.10 for a bit.
How To Upgrade MDA PRO from Chinese to English
Hi,
I just bought a T-Mobile MDA PRO in China but it is in Chinese. Can some one advise me which WWE ROM I should use in order not to cause the system hang after upgrade? Can I upgrade WWE ROM from other brand? I got the following info from the set:
ROM version: 1.00.00WWE
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 42.40.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.134 CHT
Thank your in advace
FongSG
fongsg: Go for the Qtek AKU2 ROM 1.30.77 1.30.176 1.09.00 WWE.
It is one of the few ROMs which have AKU2 as well as A2DP for Bluetooth. It's quite fast and stable as well. The radio ROM is also very stable - apparently better than the 1.11 stack.
i upgraded to radio 1.08 and so far have been having lots of probs with the signal, also losing my net connection etc.. anyone suggest a good radio?

Try 1.09. It seems to be the most popular radio stack at the moment.

what about RADIO 1.10 from T-mobile ???
1.10 gives me the best reception (in the Netherlands)
I'm having problems with 1.09 in the US I drop my GPRS and calls fail all the time. I am upgrading to 1.11 to see if this helps.
1.11 is REALLY bad in the UK on o2, bad signal, and once lost it is impossible to get back, have to switch off radio and then back on to get the signal back. That's my experience anyway, 1.09 is the best I have used so far, very strong signal and very stable
Using an O2 XDA Exec with Radio 1.09 in Asia [Manila, Philippines] any other Universal users who have updated to Radio 1.11? How is it? Does it perform better compared to 1.09? I am unsure if I should update my Radio to 1.11, some posts here say 1.11 is unstable for their territory but I would like some info on 1.11 radio ussage in Asia. TIA.
No problems here using 1.11. Been using it for about 1 month. Portugal territory

also have the XDA Exec here in Manila and I have tried 1.11. Went back to 1.09 as it seems to give me better reception
@herbules: Many thanks for the info I'll probably stay with 1.09, may I ask which operator you are on? I am on Globe and their UMTS coverage sucks.

yup...Globe UMTS really sucks, I also tried my Smart line on the Exec and UMTS was almost flawless, except I couldn't get my real player to play streaming vids smoothly
Hey guys,
Where I could download a stable Qtek 9000 ROM which is best in HK and Manila...?
Thanks :wink:
hi.
i have this model from china. "Dopod English DOPOD001 1.17.707.3 1.07.0000 1.24.00.11".
dos it has gps chip inside ? or could be models without the chip ?
i mean , all the trinity has the gps chip ? no mather what model , or it could be some model without the chip, so new rom wouldnt help.
thanks.
p.s. i want to upgrade to wm6 whats the best for it ? ty.
Yes all Trinity have the GPS Chip inside. However you need a Radio ROM 1.38 or higher to have access to the Chip.
There are ROMs for Radio and ROMs for Windows Mobile.
You need to upgrade BOTH
thank you for your quick answer esac.

My orange ROM contains a radio 1.29.00.11 with GPS.
I think that radio ROM with gps are finishing with a 1 and not a 0.
(for this ROM the OS is 1.23.73.4)
Part1
i updated my HTC diamond to RUU_Diamond_HTC_Asia_WWE _1.93.707.1 which also include Radio Radio 1.00.25.05
when i goto System - > Phone -> Band i only can see two band (900 + 1800)
I thought Radio 1.00.25.03 is quad band. What is the problem or what i did wrong ?
Part2
I restored my old ROM 1.37.405.1 WWE (06/10/08) and now i can see all the phone band again. This mean that RUU_Diamond_HTC_Asia_WWE _1.93.707.1 only allow two bad even there is radio 1.00.25.03 inside
I need a English Firmware but i don't know which one i can take. I will be happy if you can help me
Have a look here...

1.93 and all bands. But then again, i don't think there's a need for all the bands if you're from asia. Most of the operators here only use those 2 bands anyway.

Hi All,
I had lot of difficulty searching for different articles on how to upgrade my Indian Airtel Locked 2G Diamond to any of the NON-HTC ROMs.
Doubts were in mind as to which version of HardSpl, Radio will work with 2G Indian Diamond, whether Airtel lock has to be removed before upgrade, whether i'll brick my phone if i did not unlock it, so and so forth..
Hence i thought i'll share whatever i did to make my Diamond faster:
STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO UPGRADE INDIAN 2G AIRTEL LOCKED DIAMONDS:
Before going to any steps please note that whenever you use the RUU (HardSpl / Radio / ROM) please wait till the install is over, do not disconnect your cable / active sync connection or use the phone.. Sometimes u may not see activity on the PC/Phone, just wait and wait and all will be fine, u touch the diamond & it may get bricked!!
This tutorial has nothing to do with Unlocking from Airtel Network, and after doing a ROM upgrade your phone is still locked to Airtel only..
There is no need to unlock your Airtel Locked Diamond before going ahead with these steps:
Step1:
BACKUP:
Backup all your files, contacts, sms, PIM etc.. (I used PIM Backup v2.8)
Tip: The internal Storage does not get formatted unless you do a hard reset (anytime later after upgrade), still i recommend to backup your Internal storage.. just in case.., then use Sprite Backup, to backup in total..
Step2:
CHANGE TO HARDSPL FROM SPL:
SPL is like BIOS of your computer, HardSpl is a customised BIOS (Like HP bios may not allow u to tweak ur computer fully, the SPL does not allow custom non HTC ROMs)
To change SPL to HardSPL, use Olinex 1.40 Unsigned, also called Unsigned Olinex HardSPL Developer Edition
From this page download - Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip (1.92 MB, 21113 views)
Please read details of what to do and what not to do during HardSPL on this page.
Tips:
Check whether your SPL is Changed to HardSPL by going into bootloader screen - Press [Vol Dwn] & [RESET] simultaneously to enter bootloader screen
Dont go to step3 unless you have changed to HardSPL & confirmed it on the bootloader screen
Step3:
CHANGE RADIO:
Radio is the sofware that is used to control all the connectivity (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) & Phone (Which Band/ 3G/2G etc) functions
To change the Radio you have to do two things:
1. Download Custom RUU (A software to install your Radio - Like windows installer) 2. Selected Radio file
Dowload Custom RUU from here
2. Download radio from here, i preferred to use v1.00.25.05, now on v1.00.25.08
Please read details of what to do and what not to do while changing Radio on this page.
3. Extract both files into one single folder & install on your Diamond
Tips:
Changing the Radio is like getting a permission to install unofficial ROM, it wont remove Airtel Lock..
Check whether your Radio is Changed to desired version by doing a soft reset
Dont go to step4 unless you have changed & confirmed the desired Radio version with Soft Reset
Step4:
CHANGE ROM:
You can choose any unofficial ROM to install but as our Indian Diamonds are different (2G), you should be doubly sure that the ROM you select does not include a Radio (Coz all other radios will be 3G) Of course most of the ROM are devoid of Radios and SPL, but also most famous ROM cookers mention what their ROM contains and what it doesnt..
a. Select & Download a ROM, just install it..
b. Some ROMs need you to install it through RUU utility
c. Hard Reset the device once you have finished installing the ROM and make your Diamond a faster & cutomised machine..
Step 'c' is very important for your diamond to work properly
Please read details of what to do and what not to do while changing ROM on this page.
Tip:
I used SwiftBl 6.5... works like charm and flawless.., also used Dutty's ROM - not my cup of tea, as there were no updates of SwiftBL after 05/10/08, now i'm on Pistonripper.. Fast & Furious..!!
Step5:
RESTORE:
Restore from PIM Backup / Sprite Backup..
Thanks to many friends & posts who helped me use an XDA SITE ROM..
This post is mainly for my indian diamondwala counterparts & are only the main steps in brief, and mainly to mention what versions worked flawlessly on 2G version..
Please refer to more details espcially THIS post which gives very detailed account of upgrading..
Hope this post helps few..
Seniors / Moderators please read the article and if mistakes then point out.. I have used simple understandable words for newbies like me..

do u mean that diamonds supplied by airtel are physically stripped off of 3G or is it just a software restriction?
Yes, Indian Diamonds dont have a 3G chip itself, if you look at indian website specs, the processor is different from rest of the world i.e. MSM7206A, while rest of the world it is MSM7201A (MSM7206A = MSM7201A - 3G Chip)
So there's a clearly different hardware..
keeping aside 3G & Quad band , the indian diamond is same as international, right?
Using a 3G 900/2100 Diamond in India...
Many thanks for this thread....very helpful
For a 3G diamond 900/2100 + Tri band GSM...will the Quadband radio v1.00.25.05 work?....
Will the 3G diamond work with this Radio in Europe where UMTS 2100 exists?
What will be the best cooked ROM for such a config? SwiftBl 6.5?
Thanks in advance...
@ karkalanand
hey man i'm lil confused here......i was reading through this thread and came to see that boinger66 claims maybe the indian version has 3g capability , what do u think ?
Indian diamond => 3G?
@blufade
Check these links...found the 7201A specs but not the 7206A ones...dunno why?...

http://www.jaganath.net/content/mobile/should-you-buy-the-htc-touch-diamond-in-india/210
Surely confusing unless someone flashes using the 3G radio and goes out of India ...to check it out...very expensive test...
btw, does the airtel diamond have gps chip ?
yes it does have GPS .. all the same only its 2G ..
thanks fr the help guys
btw, has any of u guys in india managed to get a pouch for your diamond ?
thats all quickgps does... it downloads information that would help your gps get a faster fix... you need a gps software to actually use ur gps....for eg, navigating softwares for use in india - satnav (www.satnavtechnologies.com/), mapking, inav (http://inav.mapmyindia.com/) ... Or even offroad navigation softwares like Gps Tuner
is it possible to get the simlock back to the phone ???

Sure enough I'll be flashing my India 2G Diamond (DIAM140) in the next few days with the info given. I think I'm ready after reading for 2 weeks straight.
I'll be leaving from Iraq in Oct. to go to Kuwait, then in Nov. will be headed to Germany, then taking my R&R Leave to the US.
I'll let you guys know how everything works out when I get to the states with it.
Got it on the first try
Hey I gotta say thanks you guys on this site rock.
I'm a N00b and came to this site reading and just getting info for 2 weeks straight and today was able to flash the unsigned hardspl, 1.00.25.05 radio, and swiftbls rom and to my suprise I had no issues. Reading and following directions is what I'm use to in the Army lol and that helped out. Thanks everyone.
Couple of things, it shouldnt matter what the red lettering says when i turn the device on right as long as the tri-color screen says olinex 1.40?
Now i will continue to look through this ROM and if i have any problems I'll read then ask questions if i can't find it.
Hooah. Thanks alot again for the indian diamond tutorial!!!
congrats justo81
now that u've upgraded , any noticable improvement in performance ?
Oh yes lots of notable improvments in performance. When switching to different screens there isnt that lag that was there. The time it use to take my calls to connect on the old radio is reduced now. Almost like I'm in the states and I'm calling people from Iraq!! lol
Still searching in the forums to get GPS working with google maps. Doesnt seem to want to locate the bird (satellite) when I know the direction of most of them cause I'm a commo guy and we log on them on the time
Overall. I'm glad I upgraded and look forward to exploring and adding some more apps with this device
