Radio Upgrade and backing up 1st

My singal seems to be getting worse and worse so I am thinking about upgrading my radio.
I''m curently on radio 1.04.02
Some people here seem to run 1.11 and some say 1.09 is the best for the UK.
What do you think about the version you have.
I also have 1.13.82WWE Rom version do you think it is worth upgrading that at the same time.
An my final question what can I use to back it up, as WM5 does not have a back up tool.
Cheers

I got the latest ROM from this website:
http://www.mdapro.co.uk/phpBB-2.0.18/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=76&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
my device is a T-Mobile and I have an O2 image in mine, my Radio is 1.11 and it is from Dopod and so far so good...
Or may want to try Ivan's new AKU 3.2 rom....Its the latest.
Good luck

OK now the dam thing will not pick up a network at all, it's like it is gettin worse and worse each day.
What can I do about backing it up 1st?

No need to back it up if you ONLY upgrade the radio stack.
If you upgrade it all, the best thing to do is sync all your contacts/appointments/my documents to a pc and start again, it's the only 'real' way to do it. Sorry

RE
I'm only interested in the radio. Is it stable, louder and better?
If yes, can somebody extract and upload here?
Thanks

i installed the 1.13 radio along with the latest QTEK ROM.

I've installed radio 1.13 with different ROMs and it always showed a very bad performance in terms of reception quality and GPRS/3G/UMTS functionality.
Reverted back to 1.11 now.

i have not tried Ivan's AKU3.2 ROM. at this point i'm just going to use it as is. it's working fine for me, and i need it stable for work.

i have not been able to get it to work on AKU3 yet either....

SMS - No incoming messages
I post just to alert others to a problem I have just encountered that may, or may not, be attributable to Radio 1.13.00.
Ever the adventurous, I flashed with Ivan's AKU 3.2 ROM and MvRTrue VGA and, I think, everything was working fine. Going a step further I then flashed the Radion from 1.09 to 1.13.
Now I do not seem to be able to receive SMS.
I thought for a while that I had cooked the Sim because I stupidly left it in during the Radio upgrade. But I have now changed the Sim and the same problem persists.
The problem could be 1.13 OR the combination of 1.13 and AKU3.2 OR something else (ie hardware problem) but, in the latter case the coincidence of it occuring at the same time as the ROM upgrades makes me think it unlikely.
I am just flashing back to Radio 1.09 to see if that cures the problem.
Has anyone else seen a similar problem and got any other suggestions?

i have radio 1.13 on QTEK ROM. i am recieving SMS messages fine since the upgrade last week.

Bak on Radio 1.09 and SMS working
Update - Have just flashed back to 1.09 and SMS working OK. So can only conclude that it is 1.13 problem (perhaps just incompatibility with O2??) or incompatibility between 1.13 and O2 SMS Plus app which I use for SMS messaging. Will do further tests - but tomorrow. In the meantime would welcome others' experiences.
Andy

Works fine with T-Mobile Germany
UMTS reception got better (in my room, UMTS from no availability to 2/5, GSM unchanged 4/5)

i'd have to say this seems to be the best overall package i've used (was previously running my own mix of qtek with radio 1.11 and orange ext rom) really fast and no dropped calls as yet. reception much the same but reasonable.

ROM version and Radio version relationship

Just something I'd like to share.
Like most of us here I've been playing around with various WM6 ROM flavours and Radio versions.
What I have found is that there seems to be a relationship of some sort between ROM versions and Radio versions. A relationship regarding stability, speed but also battery drainage. Certain Radio versions simply don't go well with certain ROM versions I have found.
At the moment I am running Schap's WM6 4.31 Lite WWE ROM. Superb ROM BTW.
The Radio version that I have found to be the most 'matching' is Radio 1.51.00.10. It's stable, battery life of this ROM/Radio combination is fantastic, HSDPA works great and it doesn't slow down my TyTN.
I've tried lower and higher Radio versions with Schap's 4.31, most were also stable but there were other issues, like incoming call issues, HSDPA access and speed, battery life not that good, Bluetooth connectivity issues, or the responsiveness of my TyTN decreased dramatically (the latest 1.54 Radio ROM).
Who else has the same experience?

i only hace the 1.54 radio, but i try the older ones immediately, although m hermes is very responsive (crcs 6.1 release 6 ;-))
Regards

I allways flash the OEM Rom with the Radio that I want to use. Then flash the cooked rom.

I tried the 1.51 radio rom version with crcs 6.1 release 7 and it had a horrible power drainage... with 1.54 i had the best so far ;-)
btw: i have a herm300 if there's a relationship^^

Doesn't matter but: It's better to get the radio 'seated', 'tested', & working 1st. Then if all is well, flash the OS rom (u must have hardspl installed for both).

thx appreciate it
but those are trials.i was hoping for a site with includind serials or cracks

well, after testing 1.54 with the release 7 I have to admit that the power drainage is still very high... it seems like the release 6 was the most energy saveing in adversation to release 7 wich looks like the heaviest power consumer ever ;-)

(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.
what I have to do to be able to upgrade radio.
tnx

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.

Just to say, I tested this radio and my internet speed / google maps speed etc has really improved a lot. It was well worth the money to SU my phone to run this.
Jim

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) ?
gps ?
sorry 4 my bad EN !

downloading now

thanx for your efforts
