I have just flashed the Swedish AKU 3.3 Rom. What Radio should I flash that wont restrict future radio upgrades? I dont want to repeat my bootloader 1.06 mistake which stuck me on a certain ROM (which I didnt particularly like) for some time.
Generally don't flash the radio's that come with the AKU3.3 updates. 1.27.00.00 seems fine and might be one of the better radio ROMs.
Check the wiki for more information.

I've been reading alot around here about upgrading roms. But I am still confused between these two things. Mine has the radio version of 1.16. But I have no idea what radio BL version it is.
I am afraid to upgrade without understanding this. Because from what I've read, I do not want radio BL of 1.08.
Could someone please explain this?
Hi
You'll find this info in the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
HTC Boot is the radio bootloader so you have 0107. Radios with 0108 are the ones to watch out for since flashing this means that you will no longer be able to flash radio (or other) updates on their own afterwards. HTC Boot is flashed when you flash a new radio rom. Additionally, to have any radio rom flashed successfully once you have HTCBoot 0108, your SPL (system bootloader) needs to be 1.09 otherwise the radio does not get flashed.
The latest HTCBoot0107 radio is 1.27

Isn't it possible though to do NBH/ROMupgradeUT radio only updates using SSPL with Radio BL 0107 or 0108?
Edit: I made Radio Only NBH/ROMupgradeUT 1.33.31.00 RBL 108. Using SSPL on device works fine to upgrade my radio. NBH Radio Upgrade Only 1.33.31.00 Run SSPL FIRST
I had radio bl 0108 before trying this so it works this way. There is no way to downgrade radio bl, but it really doesn't matter sine this method works to upgrade or downgrade radio rom.
A long time ago I flashed my T-Mobile UK Vario II with the HTC South African 1.35 Full ROM Upgrade package.
Some time has passed and I'd like to flash with the HTC AKU 3.3 ROM or try one of the WM6 cooked ROM's. The only problem is the methods used to flash have changed and after reading the Wiki's and forums, I'm still confused!
Now, because I used the package, the SPL is now version 1.09. From what I've read, this means I cannot upgrade the Radio ROM only. No big problem I thought, but if I flash again with the HTC 2.05 ROM package, I won't be able to upgrade the Radio from version 1.34 to the latest 1.38.00.10. Is this correct?
no worries. All radio RUUs nowadays automatically load Des' Sspl which can flash any radio. Simply load 2.05 then go flash radio 1.38.00.10 using pof's link.
To be safe however, you should load Bootloader 1.10.Oli after you finish the 2.05 upgrade but before you flash the radio upgrade. This will guard against a flash failure that corrupts your CID. Tomorrow, I'll build a sspl based Installer that loads Olipro's 1.10.Oli bootloader & post to the WiKi since everybody should have this.
Thanks for clearing that up Sleuth. Its made things a hell of a lot clearer now.
Will update to the 2.05 AKU 3.3 ROM + 1.38 Radio and then to WM6 once you lot stop releasing a cooked ROM every couple of days.
Many thanks!
Hey people, Ive noticed a few problems with people upgrading to HardSPL and new radio etc... then not being able to flash a newer WM5 rom, since the RUU doesnt like the new SPL version.
So ive written a "Safe WM5 Flashing Guide" to help people on the way.
You will find it HERE. A bit of feedback would be great.
you should add a warning to this:
There are some old WM5 roms with old radios on them which have radio bootloader 0106, people who have flashed radios > 1.27 on their hermes got radio bootloader 0108. Those will get a "No GSM" error when flashing a 0106 radio, so if they want to downgrade to original rom they can't put the original radio on the device.
Hello,
Just unlocked both sim and cid, and installed tnt 1933 touch flo rom, no problems on the install, expect for that my cell phone does not work.
I know I might have to update the radio rom, and anyone please explain the procedure and the file needed, read, but confused.
current:
G4
ipl 2.21.001
spl 2.21.olip
gsm 02.25.11
os 11.0.0.1
s.thakur
I just upgrade and notice the bug too. My phone works sometime, but I cant end the call! and some sms are not being rec'd.
TNT.1933 is known to have problems for some Radio ROMs.
Either choose other ROM or try other Radio ROMs until the problem goes away (There is no recommended radio version because it depends on your carrier)
For what I know, this is link to the newest Radio ROM available (2.71.11).
In the thread it's written it is g4 safe.
So I think you can flash it to your device plain and simple.
But I am not pretty sure if you need to use the RUU provided or the Mun's RUU from the Hard SPL thread...
EDIT:
I have flawlessy performed Radio upgrade to 2.71.11
I can now confirm it's g4 safe... just start the romupdateutility and follow the instructions...
No need to change RUU from the one included in rar archive for my G4 HardSPL.
Hey everyone
Just had a couple of questions about radio roms:
1. Just wondering what's the point of upgrading my radio rom?
2. Is there a page where the radio rom version changes (upgrades/downgrades) are shown?
3. I tried to upgrade to 3.42.50 from 3.37 and everytime i try to do the upgrade
it goes till 8% and then it says your phone is not built for the rom?
Thanx..

OS: WM6.5
Radio:3.37.75
The benefit of upgrading the Radio is mainly for the GPS capability. Some say that one radio is better than another for gps locks. Either way, if you want to have gps, upgrading the radio is the way to go. Some custom ROMs also require a certain radio or higher.
If you are having problems upgrading, then you might not have your phone unlocked. You need to first update your SPL to have an unlocked phone, and then you can start upgrading custom stuff.
Some times when the radio wont upgrade by sd card it is necessary to relock to 2.07 then unlock again with 2.47.
