Hi All,
Radio Upgrade Version 1.18 now available.
The only fixes/tweaks I am aware of over 1.15 are fixes to roaming.
I have been using for three weeks now and don't notice any difference over 1.15 par slightly better UMTS signal at home (poor coverage in my area)
NBF only download.
For those that don't know the process to update, read here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UNI_Radio

Thanks very much.
Where did you get this from or what manufacturer released this? IMate, Orange, TMobile, etc...????
Is this an official radio ROM or customized by someone???

1.15 gives me a No GSM, so I think I'll stay at 1.09.
anyone upgraded?

Nope you won't be seeing any official Rom upgrade for the Uni (Not for WM6 anyway) and I doubt very much there will be any more WM5 releases, it's far too old and providers have moved on, there is no economic beneift for them to do any more work on the Universals.
Cheers,
Beast
I will stick to 1.15, the most stable ROM for me for now.
Thanks beast0898 for your prompt answer.
I wasn't expecting ROMUpgradeUt to hard reset my device after this upgrade, have always used MaUpgradeUt_noID before... At least I have a 1-month old SPB backup image
As for radio 1.18, this seems fine - no problems with 3G calls or internet use. I haven't noticed any difference from 1.15, but like many here I like to be on the bleeding edge of updates
Many thanks to beast for bringing this to us, you are the best!
what? ROMUpgradeUt hard resetted your device?
thats wierd. it did that without asking?
anyone else had this?
im about to flash myself. i guess i'll use the old no_id flash util...
I flashed mine using the NO ID Tool. Have been using that proceedure ever since it was released and no problems with it. Mine did not hard reset.

I'm not sure where the NoID tool resides... I see in some other ROM folders a "MaUpgradeUT_noID.exe" and a "ROMUpgradeUt.exe". If I take one of those older ROM files, replace the radio_.nbf file with the one from 1.18, and run the MaUpgradeUT_noID executable (without any ms_.nbf and nk.nbf files in the folder), will that result in the NoID radio upgrade method without the hard reset?
Sorry to ask, just that the Radio Only upgrade section of the wiki shows only an upgrade method using the ROMUpgradeUT method, I want to avoid screwing this up.

Yes ROMUpgradeUt did indeed hard reset my device, without warning or asking me. This may have been caused by it crashing after it made my phone enter the bootloader, windows said "USB device not recognized" and ROMUpgradeUt tried to correct this "error", then it crashed with a windows exception error (I'm not using any USB hub, and device was ActiveSync'd fine at the start).
My phone was now in the bootloader at this point, so I just re-launched ROMUpgradeUt and this time it successfully performed the radio upgrade, but on booting up I noticed it had been hard reset I did have a 1 month old SPB backup image, so it only took me 2 hours to set everything back the way I like it.
You should probably use ROMUpgradeUt anyway as I seem to recall it being a lot safer than MaUpgradeUT_noID - just remember to always take a backup before doing any kind of ROM flashing
Anyway after half a day of using 1.18, it seems fine and stable. As good as (if not better than) 1.09 and 1.15, which I have used previously. Thanks again beast man!
MaUpgradeUT_noID worked fine, no hard reset. 1.18 seems fine so far.
can i use this to upgrade on my blue angel radio rom too??
Does anybody have a working link for this?
Neither of the two work for me. Thanks.
Ok just recently unbricked my phone and started flashing once again. First I did the HARD SPL change from 2.03 to 2.10 Olipro. I flashed the current vp3G a few times but I was getting no phone service. I flashed the schaps and it did the same. My was getting no service and when I clicked on settings it said this.
Unknown SIM status.
Only emergency calls can be made without a PIN.

Did some googling and found some sources where it said my default PIN was either 1111 or 2222. I went ahead and called ATT and explained to them I was getting no service but of course never mentioned I had a cooked ROM. They said the same that the default was 1111. Of course for some reason when I was talking to them I could not get to the settings to enter it. I told them I would call them back.
Finally got to enter it in and nothing. It is still not working. I'm in some desperate need of suggestions. Thank You.

Flash the OEM ROM from your provider. This should get your service back if your using a legit SIM
i see you have unbricked your phone, try loading up a new radio
http://rapidshare.com/files/60589318/radio1.54.07.00.rar
oh yea, thats the radio im using for my 8525, its the updated version 1.54 it works pretty well, hope that fixes your problem
I have that same problem but it seems that changing the radio does not work, although I havent tried every single radio. Some radios will give say i have no service even when i don't have the sim card in (it should be saying no sim)
This might help
If you are in USA and if you have a CINULAR sim card in your phone go to a AT&T store for a FREE AT&T sim card. It might resolve the issue as AT&T just changed some settings in some towers.

When I got unbricked I updated my SPL like you mentioned and now I'm running 2.10. I did try to update the radio but that also got locked up and had to hard reset to get it back. I was trying 1.54 also.

More reading and more reading. Ok I realize I have no GSM and no Radio. When I try to install radio it gets stuck on 0% then locks me out. Then I'm stuck in the Tri-Color mode and am forced to reflash ROM. I'm thinking "Problem 5" is the problem I'm having but can anyone confirm or help me out please.
My ATT flash screen says:
R None
G None
D 3.62

That means I have no Radio and GSM correct? What do I do?
warranty?
How far into your warranty are you, assuming you're still under warranty? Same thing happened to me. I played stupid with AT&T tech support (then Cingular), had no distinguishable drop marks or water damage, and they replaced it under warranty I even had it stuck on the bootloader screen If you're still under warranty, try to load an oem rom back on it and see if you can get them to replace it.

Unfortunatley im out of warranty
Is there anyway to completely erase everything that is on the hermes at once? except for the stuff on the eeprom, i already had to deal with that
can no one help us?
i heard from my friend who works at an att non corp store that just recently non corp stores were given the ability to give the new contract discounts. that he just has to make a 5 min call and it gets approved and they can offer you the 2yr discount although it might extend your contract.
reason im saying this is even if your not up for an update, any att store should be able to (if the guy chooses to be helpful) hook you up with the discount regardless of how long or how little you've been in contract.
just food for thought in case you cant find a solution.
when I reset my device i see no GSM ocassionaly, well since an hour ago, its been saying nothing but No GSM, I have tried to fix it using the unbrick direction in the wiki, but to no avail.
Peculiar situation.
I have the Softbank version of the Dopod C730 in black with latest ROM in chinese (1.16.708.7) and have been using it for a good 3-4 days now. Everything worked swell then the Wifi went yesterday, did a hard reset and fixed the problem. Today same thing, except this time hard reset did nothing. At first I still had Wifi in comm manager but it was saying "Drivers Not Loaded" and wouldnt fire up the wlan. Then after a couple soft resets the WLAN option totally disappeared from comm manager and main screen. I unlocked the CID lock on the phone, and loaded the previous ROM in English (which worked without a hitch)and It loaded WLAN drivers for a second then died...although now I do have WLAN option in Comm manager again.
Cant get into the dopod site with my S/N to download the 1.16.708.7 ROM (when i registered without a device I couldnt get downloads at all just manuals) and I noticed the wiki only has the chinese version. If anyone has this rom they could send me or upload it in English id appreciate that.
But the big question is, how do I ressurect my WLAN and is there a CAB driver for it?
Just as a follow up. Went back to the original newest Asian ROM from the older English based one and now the WLAN works (albeit drops connections worse than before) Thats after I wiped out all the Tmobile WAP/MMS settings, programs and oh yea had to have the CID unlock.
Such a stupid situation, I dont understand how the whole WLAN card can just drop out of comm manager and drivers not load and it takes 2 ROM flashes to revive it.
Anyone have the latest ROM in English?

Did it ever occure to you to do a search? or to check other threads?
Cavalier ROMS are bilingual (C730 chinese/english, Softbank japanese/english).
So, if you have CID unlocked your device you can put C730 ROM from FTP to your device.
Cheers

Which is what I did. The 2 previous ROMs from Dopod were in English by default, so I figured if the 1.16.708.7 came default in Chinese there was an English one. Didnt realize that one was bilingual also.

.unl keyfile.....Paid because after an all nighter of trying to ressurect the WLAN and memory card drivers I just gave up and took out the wallet.
BTW, Anyone know where I can find the BB Connect download for the C730 other than their site (which i cant register with the softbank) I cant seem to find this anywhere. And if someone can download for me id appreciate it...

Hello. Where did you pay for your CID unlock? I've searched and no one seem to have a CID unlock solution for the Cavalier. I bought a used dopod C730 that doesn't have the WLAN option in Comm Manager although the box and manual says I'm supposed to have it. I have tried reloading the original ROM included in the Dopod disc with no success. I was going to try to load a different ROM but kept getting errors due to it being CID locked.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I've checked the Wiki over and over regarding my issue. Unless my eyesight is giving out on me, I don't see anything that refers to my problem. I assume that my C730 is a Hong Kong version since it has CSL 1010 logo on it.
If you could please provide any special information regarding Hong Kong version C730, please do tell and share the info. I've researched about my problem until my eyes turned white and I could not find any solutions.
And yes, I've used the search function to no success. Also, I've tried the ROM found in the disc and at the Wiki and still no positive result for ressurecting my wifi.
Thank you.

PLZ help me, while trying to upgrade my HERM I lost the Radio, there is a message (No GSM) appearing during the boot.
I've tried many unofficial ROMs, but still getting the same message!!!
And when I tried to use the official ROM, the upgrade stopped on 11%!!??
To solve the hangup problem, I used unofficial ROM again, and after the upgrade I found the same GSM problem again.

Fine,,,
Device: at&t 8525
ROM: Original WM5 ROM, and while trying to upgrade it my device hanged up on the colored screen. To fix that, I've installed schap's 4.31 WM6 ROM using the MicroSD Card (HERMIMG). Now the device can boot but with No GSM at all (even there's no information about the GSM under Device Info).
The device now can accept any modified ROM (like schap's, faria, etc...) but unable to accept the official (original) ROMs. When I try to install any official ROM the upgrade process will stack on 11% every time.
So, the device still having no GSM.
Thank You....
FirasKB,
Most roms on her DO NOT come with a radio included. Usually only the manufacturer roms do.
There are 2 things you need to do:
- Consult the MrVanx guides which will help you understand what you are doing (google search for this).
- go to the wiki in this forum and search for a radio rom to upload.
In summary, reflash, say, Scahps rom then flash a radio rom from the wiki (I suggest radio 1.47, which is pretty reliable).
Hope this helps.

Ahhh, a little info.
First download the official AT&T 3.62 ROM which includes the 1.54.07.00 radio.
Reboot the pc with the PDA disconnected.
(Oh, make sure that you have ActiveSync 4.5 insttalled of course)
Put the device into bootloader mode (hold power and OK button while pressing reset with stylus, nice tri color screen will appear)
Connect the PDA to the USB cable and run the RUU_Inside.exe file.
wacky.banana is correct, most chef's don't include a radio. You've got a corrupted ROM (due to the incomplete flash) The RUU_Inside.exe will typically talk directly to the hardware when nothing else can and fix. I've personally recovered around 10 or so 8525's that I've "bricked" with bad flashes and then repaired with this method.
I can't guarantee that this will work but it IS your best shot friend.
Good luck!

Thanks to your support friends,,
I've done as you mentioned, but the upgrade process stopped on 11% again and couldn't complete!!?? (the message ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR appeared on my P.C)!!??
Kindly, advice...
I can't remeber what error 262 is about; however is your device unlocked? If it is not then you need to address that issue first (its in the wiki)
Secondly have you installed hard spl to your device BEFORE attempting to upgrade your rom? If the answer to this question is no then that will confirm that you have not read up on this before jumping in, which is hugely dangerous.

Stuck.... completely stuck
My fiances phone is stuck in the tri color bootloader screen. I am in the US and i have tried everything from flashing the original RUU to a hard reset and everthing, but nothing seems to work. the IPL is 4. 10. 0002 and the SPL is 4. 10. 0000. Can someone please help me. I know there has to be a way to fix this.
I had the same problem. After trying to fix it myself for about a week I gave up and sent it to AT&T Repair center. Got it back functional.
I haven't tried the Himalaya ROM method, though.

Thanks again to your support,
The problem happened when I tried to unlock the device to upgrade it (it was fine befor), I don't know whether it was already locked or not, but usualy when I buy any Pocket P.C I'm preparing to unlock it first (I've done that many times on HERMES before, but this is the first time I'm facing such problem!!). So, while unlocking the device it's stucked on the tri color screen.
I've done many things after that to solve the problem (updating the hard SPL to v2.10 successfully, flashing many ROMs -not including Radio- successfully).
So, I can flash any ROM now but it must be without Radio, otherwise the flashing process will stuck on 11%.
try reading the wiki:

As I wrote above, my problem still not solved and my device still running with (No GSM).
I've done the following:
- Updating the ROM (O.S only as the device not accepting any Radio ROM)
- Updating the SPL to Version 7.
- Trying to update the radio (separately) but I didn't success??!!
It seems there is no solution to fix this problem???!!!

Unfortunately, but that's also didn't help, because the main problem now is how to install the Radio on the device??!!
The device is not accepting the Radio installation at all, NO WAY....
I own an E986 for one month, I bought it from Greece but it must be from Germany. My problem is that after rooting and installing many custom roms and stock roms I dont have 4g signal. I have tried everything, hidden menus, 4g switchers, flashing modems from allover the world just in case something works, flashing back to stock with lg flash tool, I tried stock 4.1.2 and 4.4.2, I erased APN's and added again......and many many more. Can anybody please help me? I will try any ideas, one last thing, the signal of the mobile carrier is depending only on the modem I install or are there any other parameters that I should try to flash. Thanks in advance!!!!

If you've flashed back to a stock TOT/KDZ and still have no 4G, then it seems like it cannot be any software setting other than APN configuration, and if you're certain that's right, then it could be worth it to try a different SIM card.
What else could it be? If you've flashed a correct stock image for your model, then you've ruled out software issues other than configuration, and if it once worked with the same software configuration (APN settings, etc.) then what else could it be but hardware, something tangible?

So what do you believe? Do you think that I have a hardware issue? But how on earth is it possible to have 3g and H signal but no 4g. I have flashed every stock rom for my device through kdz method but I haven't tried the tot method, do you believe that this might be the solution? I have even bought another sim card from my provider but no luck, should I try another provider? Phewwww I ask a lot I know please forgive me it' s that I have never faced a problem before that I couldn't overcome......

KDZ is sufficient. I don't see how TOT would make any difference. Maybe you could try just to familiarize yourself with the method. I don't see how that could make any difference, but maybe I'm more ignorant that I realize (this happens often enough).
So you've had 4G on that phone with that same provider before? WIth the same plan? If it's not software, and not hardware, then maybe it's to do with the carrier? I think you can be pretty safe that it's not software if you've got a stock image flashed on there, and if your APN settings are spot-on. That would leave:
- SIM card
- Phone hardware
- Carrier
- ?what else?
If it's not software, as in if you've got a fresh stock image flashed, then what else could it be but hardware? Maybe I'm missing something.. dunno.
Have you tried the SIM cards in any other phone to see if 4G works?

To tell you the truth I haven't tried the sim to another phone because I don't have another 4g phone, I have contacted my carrier and they confirmed that I have 4g signal. Who knows, I cant understand how it could be a hardware issue since I have 3g and H signal, do you know if apart from modem is there anything else that I could flash in order to have better signal reception? For example flashing kernel or something else....

Maybe visit some cell phone shop and ask if you can ram your SIM into one of their phones for a minute, to test.
If you've flashed a KDZ, I don't see what else you could do, software-wise, on top of that. Have you ventured very far into the hidden diagnostic menus? I know there's tests in there for most everything, ones that show if you've got a 4G connection and exactly what detailed connection info is available.
EDIT: Oh, you can look into your service manual here. Maybe you could pull a MacGyver, yes?

I followed your advice, I tried my sim to another 4g phone and it works perfectly, I even bought a sim card from another provider just in case but again no luck, 4g signal wont show on. The hidden menu is something that I have discovered but dont know what values to change, I just checked that lte is enabled. My only hope is to find the original stock rom for Greece named e98610c.kdz I believe to flash it and see if it works, but I cant find it anywhere. My phone is from Germany though, another option I have is to find a second stock rom from Germany different than the e98610i.kdz, I have seen an e98610a.kdz, but I wasnt able to find and download it. Any help would be very nice, but thanks anyway.

Hallo again, one more question, is it possible that I have flashed a modem that is capable of 4g but in bandwith that my provider in Greece doen't support?

I don't think so. If you've flashed back to stock with a KDZ/TOT, then you're golden.
Who is your Grecian provider? What are your current APN settings?

My Greek provider is named Cosmote and my APN settings are the following
Name Cosmote Internet
APN internet
MCC 202
MNC 01
APN type default
Hope this tells you something, looking forward to replying me :

Did you find your e986 Greek stock image yet? Just curious. I swear it sounds like a hardware problem though. Dunno.
