My radio initially is the original official radio, but then I want to upgrade to it 1.17.25.09.
Then I read some post saying that I should downgrade it to 1.02.xxxx or below, then I can unlock the security lock.
However, I think I misunderstand it and just downgrade it by flashing the radio, I think I am supposed to flash a rom which has an old radio with it.
But lucky that time I was able to upgrade it without security unlock my phone.
Now I just flash the radio 1.17.25.09 straight away, and now my radio is 1.17.25.09.
However, there is a little problem now.
I wasn't able to connect to the wifi internet I usually connect to, is it the problem of the radio? or is the problem of the ROM? Can I do some test to ensure my wifi function is correctly working?
Just one more question, what does the flashing a new ROM affect/change the performance of the phone?
Many thanks for reading this long thread, hope I can get some answers
I think the wifi Problem is a Problem of the rom, because 2 years ago i put a new rom on my htc wizard and then i was no longer able to connect to my home network.
Hope i was able to help a bit!
Thank you for your reply, I will try to flash a new room tonight and see whether it is functioning

Any idea???
I was thinking maybe upgrading or downgrading my Radio Version, please help... right now I'm on 3.42.30, is that the latest? Which other radio version u guys recommend....
Thanks
Are you on a road trip?
Do you have Verizon?
I notice the thing happening in places where I use to have full signal before changing my old Motorola w385.
I was asking about Verizon because they have done 2 roaming updates in the last 2 months.
What carrier?
Try to re-flash the radio to 3.42.30 again....I have radio 3.42.50 on my old Vogue
I'm on MetroPCS I have just re-flashed the phone with original Sprint ROM and problem persists....
How can I upgrade to 3.42.50???? My phone is Sprint, can I load Bell ROM to get that radio version???
I was able to upgrade my radio version to 3.42.50, thanks to ski21.... however my problem persists. I read that could be something with the wrong Checksum....
Someone has an idea on how can I verify the checksum?
PD. I have the radio versions, 3.42.30, 3.42.40 and 3.42.50... if someone need one of them PM.
I just got my tilt 2 about a month ago. I want to flash a clean rom, but here are my questions:
1. I heard that I have to unlock my phone before I flash a new rom, is that true?
2. Which rom do you guy recommend? I just need a clean rom with TouchFLO 3D or Sense.
3. How can I back up the rom I'm using now?
4. If I have to unlock my phone to flash a new rom(which I'm not willing to do it now), how can I delete all the pre-installed softwares? I looked it up in Wiki, but when I try to delete something by using CEregeditor, it always says that access denied. How to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot
you dont need to sim or security unlock your phone but you do need hardspl. if you want a clean rom with manila/tf3d/sense i would recommend eras2r's rom at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585403 . and for reverting to stock for warranty and everything else you need check out http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/
Thanks. I got another question, do I also ned to flash radio? what is that for?
radio is for wifi, gps, and cellular connections like phone and mobile data. you dont need to flash one. the stock radio that comes on the phone is one of the best stock radios i have seen. on the old touch pro, you would need to flash a new radio if you wanted to get a signal anywhere or use gps in this decade. i always flash the newest radios just cause i can but thats me, i dont like out dated software. i would wait on the radio if i where you, just to know what it all means first.
hey
I have an orange phone which a while ago i flashed with a generic rom and rooted. because of this i was unable to install the OTA so i did a manual upgrade to this rom:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
This installed fine (it seems), but as i am on orange, when i rebooted the phone it was network locked. I read that flashing an older radio solved this problem so i went and flashed this radio:
update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed.zip
This now makes my phone boot and work fine with no lock, HOWEVER, the software version still says it is on 1.15.405.4 and not the updated version!!!!
I have tried testing one of the bugs that was fixed in the new ota (i sms'd myself from skype and it still says it was sent by a facebook contact) and so that fix clearly wasnt present and the upgrade just hasnt seemd to work. Can anyone shed any light on this? could it have anything to do with what is installed on my phone during step 1 of the root? the root package i am using is called r5-desire-root-alt
Thanks for anyone who can help on this
Rooting the phone puts the 1.15.405.4 ROM back on your device, if you want 1.21 you'll have to then buy an unlock code to free up the device...
There is an update ZIP in the ROM dev forum which updates the system but leaves the radio alone so might wanna try that...
thanks for this, but the only update i have been able to find in the dev forum is the one on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
but there is a note at the top saying they all contain radio updates
do you have a link to one without the radio update?
Didn't look hard did you??

thank you sooo much, this has finally sorted out my problem
Hello all,
I'm aware there are a few threads of people complaining about GPS not working when updating/unbranding an Orange branded handset (more specifically the radio). The solution seems to be downgrade the radio (which is more of a workaround than a solution). I've been wanting to try out one of the recent Froyo with Sense ROMs, this includes 720p video recording (and something else). The radio must be updated for this to work. I've tried the new radio and it breaks my GPS (left it outside for 10 minutes, it used to fix within seconds). Has anyone had any success in getting the GPS to work without downgrading the radio?
Thank you, Rowan.
Okay, been nearly a month and quite a few views but no replies. Even with the latest radio GPS still never fixes. Has anyone else had any experience on this?
I'd say the easiest fix would be to shove re-flash Froyo on there and if necessary unlock your phone with a code. Failing that, root and install an older radio via recovery. I haven't seen this issue anywhere else.
I've already unlocked it. As I said in my first post I want a newer radio to try out 720p recording and such so downgrading the radio isn't really a fix. I can only think it's Orange's meddling as GPS works fine with one radio and not with another so it's not like a fault with the actual phone :/
What radio version are you using?
I'm running a de-branded Orange phone on the OTA official Froyo ROM and it's all working fine. The baseband is:
32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
I did just try that one you mentioned and it didn't work. I used to use 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11 as my radio that GPS worked with (I tested all newer ones and no GPS). Now that doesn't work either so I'm a bit miffed.
Edit: Okay that does work actually, I'm guna play around a bit. I'll get back to you.
Edit 2: Okay, I've played. It seems it's actually a problem with Google Maps as the Compass app works fine.
first thing, I've been flashing a number of rom's to my phone to find the right one. only a couple apparently actually have a connection to the data. the rest won't connect to the internet without a wifi connection. they will still make phone calls and send/receive text messages, but they will not connect to the internet using data. I don't know what's going on with it, honestly.
and the other thing, do touchwiz based custom roms exist for the i747? preferably ones that are either 4.3 or 4.4 based.
sorry, I'm still new to the whole thing, and I'm trying to get my phone in stable, working order. I have been searching a lot and trying a number of different things, though.
also, 4.3 is avaliable as an OTA upgrade...but as I understand it, if I do that, I'd never be able to downgrade past that, would I? would that mean I'd never be able to root my phone and install custom firmware again?

Now are you on a custum rom?
if yes, mabye that the custum rom that you flashed on your phone it was a beta version and that Mobile Data is not avaible on this rom.
Or mabye that mobile data is not enable on your phone.
Mabye that you jusy have any mb/gb left for your month.
as you Said : I'm still new to the whole thing, and I'm trying to get my phone in stable, working order. I have been searching a lot and trying a number of different things, though.
What i suggest you is first of all to keep your phone unrooted you are saying that you are trying to get your phone stable. And when your phone is rooted on a custum ROM it may be not stable.
Yes 4.3 is avaible throught the air and through Samsung KIES 3.
the new Samsung 4.3 Firmware has a new Bootloader.
After upgrading a bootloader you CANT revert it. You cant downgrade the bootloader after.
Also the new Android 4.3 from samsun has a new security that they named : KNOX
This new Security software that EVERYONE HATE make rooting,flashing a LOT harder.
If you update to 4.3 you WONT be able to downgrade to 4.2.1 or 4.1.1.
iF you try this will result to a Soft-Bricked Device.
On 4.3 you are still able to root the Galaxy s3 I747 but DONT try to downgrade through Odin YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Hope that i help you. Any other question? Just ask!
Just to add to Killers post, one reason you may not be getting data is because you didn't follow instructions when installing the custom rom. For instance, with SRx3 rom, you have to flash a new modem and bootloader, not doing so generally leads to data issues. You may also want to familiarize with the proper apn settings and see if that's the culprit. Hope this helps.
