Radio upgrading problems... - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

I read and read for a couple of days before taking the plunge in to upgrading anything. I ran the 2.06 rom and noticed that the radio stayed 1.16 so I ran the 1.34 rom from htc and the radio stayed the same so I again ran the 2.06 and the radio is still the same. I followed all instrutions and changed the bootloader to 1.01 MFG then to 1.04 and tried running different radio upgrades but none of them change the radio from 1.16. Is there anything I missed, am I screwed and not able to change the radio? Is the 1.16 radio good with the 2.06 rom?
These pages are awesome thanks to all the hard work from everyone for newbies like me.
Also on a side note where can I find info like these pages for the mpx220?

@brandyholt: welcome to XDA developers! Here's a hint for you:
Set your signature to show the device you own along with the ROM, radio rom and SPL. You can get the first two from settings->system->device info. You can get the SPL version by soft resetting into the bootloader.
We can't help if we don't know what Hermes device you're using

2.06 3G Issue...

I have done the upgrade and everything went fine. After the upgrade it ran to extended rom configs and they went fine. My phone is no longer showing that it is connecting to 3G. All I have is the E logo on top. I am in my office and it is a 3g area, I was connecting 3G before the upgrade.
I have reinstalled the PTT .cab, and Hard Reset after it etc... Still the same.
I was going to upgrade my radio from 1.33 to 1.34 this morning, but when I ran that installer it told me that it was the wrong country??? Should I keep my radio 1.33? anyone know whats going on with this?
Thanks.

Maybe try putting SPL 1.09 on it then running the RUU Shipped Radio ROM 1.27 from Germany.
OK< I tried what you said. My phone is SPL 1.09. So I ran the 1.27 RUU. I got the same kind of error.
ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check the vendor website and download the correct ROM update.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Before loading another radio on it. just make sure it's the icon that is just not showing the correct connection, as some radios do... Check mspeed from your phone's browser for your actual connection speed... http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed

Sounds like you are not SUPERCID. Run Pof v3 Unlocker, verify supercid, then try again.

Good point. MT_PC_Hermes_PTT_REG_070129.CAB fixes the icon settings in the new Cing ROM.
Just ran a speed test... 207kbit/sec...
You might also just go to the \extended_rom via totalcommander or other filemanager and execute autorun.exe or at least the cab that corrects the 3g/u/e icons MT_PC_Hermes_PTT_REG_070129.CAB
A lot of people have found that for some reason after upgrading via mfg package to the 2.06 cingular rom, that the entire entended_rom did not run; even if they did not stop it after the upgrade. It looked like it loaded to most people, but they did not have the useless icons like telenav, mobiTV, etc..
OK, so something strange happened... I went to run POF's unlocker again. I ran it, but all of a sudden a ROM image begins to load? It looked like it was reloading the cingular image I loaded yesterday. Just than I get called into a meeting, when I get back, my phone is sitting there, looking the same as I left it before doing anything EXCEPT I have a G Icon now. Great, so I just checked the settings...
ROM Version 2.06.502.3
RADIO Version 1.16.00.00 ?????????????????????
Should I keep this radio or uupgrade it to a newer one, and if you think a newoer one than which should I try?

I think the consensus is that 1.27 is best until/if GPS ever works.
WAIT!, Lat time I checked your sig, did you not have Radio 1.34? Now I see you are on 1.27. Did you downgrade for a reason? I started the 1.34 upgrade just before you posted. What are the differences between 1.27 and 1.34?
Gromet
More strangeness...
So I started the 1.34 radio upgrade, click update, phone reloads into blotloader, goes to upgrading radio stack please wait... PC shows Stage 1: Upgrading Radio, BUT it just sits there at 0% than errors out.
SO
I ran the 1.27 Upgrade, SAME THING>???????????????????
Whats goin on?
BTW, I'm on SPL 1.09 and I ran Pof's Unlocker again successfully....

What is you Radio BL 107 or 108?
I had access to two separate 8525's. One had 1.34 and the other had 1.27 (BL0107). The 8525 I keep and use daily is on 1.27 with BL 0107. I am waiting for further NBH flashing directions before changing both devices to BL 0108.
When it goes into Botloader mode, it sais SPL 1.09, Where else do I find the bootloader version?

To access the radio bootloader for that, but the command to do this (rtask a) has been removed in SPL-1.09.
If you downgrade the SPL to 1.04, you can see it using radio bootloader command "rversion":
Code:
USB>rtask a
Enter Radio Bootloader
rversion

Gromet, this is normal behavour. Pofs unlocker flashes a hacked radio rom (1.16.00.00). Once device restarts, you need to copy the unlocker exe file (included in pof's unlocker zip) to your device, and then execute it on the device. I guess the exe that you run on the device interacts with the hacked radio to unlock the device somehow.
Once thats done, you'll get a 'success' message. Now you can download the shipped rom 1.27.00.00. Since your device is now superCID you can just exec the exe in the shipped rom directly to upgrade the radio from 1.16 to 1.27
Just make sure that you kill activesync before playing about with any rom flashing - it gets in the way.
Nigel
So yeah....
I did everything for PoF's Unlocker, and I GOT the SUCCESS message... but now I cant get any version of a radio upgrade to run. If activesync is on, It starts the upgrade and never gets past 0%, if activesync is off, i error out even before it ever starts the upgrade.

I don't have much to add other than, 'me too'--but eventually the upgrade worked. I Ran POF's unlocker and chose supercid as well. But couldn't get past that 0% with the 1.27.00.00 radio upgrade.
I'm at:
IPL - 1.00
SPL - 1.04
While typing up this message I decided to try again and type up the error verbosely.
Sure enough the sixth try was the charm.

I am back to 1.34 and I created the NBH standalone Radio ROM since the new tools are available now.
You can easily go between Radio ROM again YEAH!
Here are Radio ROMs:

So, excuse my ignorance, but are we now saying that we can upgrade the radio roms listed without ending up with the 1.08 bootloader, or alternatively that 1.08 no longer causes a problem?

You got it here too:

But, since it's quite old this radio comes in .nbf format and without Custom RUU.

Simlock still there
Hi
Did you reslove this? I have the same problem with a HTC HERM 300. The unlock process runs, but the rom is not updated. There are many blogs telling us that we have to get 1.16 radio version bu not:
- Where from
- how to install it
- how you get in to install/check it if the simlock is still there
Installing the unlocker tool v3a will install radio 1.16. It is part of the update process, when you downgrade your SPL to 1.40. You also downgrade your radio to 1.16.
If you are trying to unlock the xo1ht's, there has been some problems with unlocking this model, try running a search to see what is said.
Cheers...
Also to find the standalone radio rom do a search for "Hermes radio repository", use CRC's mirror as the other 2 don't work. You'll find it there.

Helpful Information Needed

Hello guys, I have a little bit of a problem, and I am hoping that you guys can help me out. About 10 months ago I upgraded from my stock ROM to dcd's 2.3.2. rom and 3.27.00 radio. Every thing went fine, loaded up 2.40 olipro and the installation went perfect. Now last month I saw that dcd came out with 3.2.6 and wanted to upgrade my rom and radio, but this is were i'm running into problems. I was able to flash the 3.2.6. rom, but I am unable to flash the radio. I have searched up and down these forums and checked out the wiki's and havn't been able to find a solution. So now all i'm left with is a phone that can't make a phone call but is still able to send sms messages. If anyone has any helpful tips or even a solution to my problem it would be much appricated.
I thought the 3.27 radio works with 3.2.6. What is happening when you try to flash the radio? and what method are you using to flash it (SD card or pc)? Also when you bootup the phone does it say 3.27 radio still? I believe all the newer DCD roms need a carrier cab have you installed the cab? I'm pretty sure the phone won't be able to make calls without the cab installed. 1 more Q what service do you have?

When I flash the radio it goes to 8% flashes a red light and then resets. I have also tried both methods of flashing but none works. When I bootup the phone it does still say 3.27 as the radio. I have also tried to install a carrier cab but have had no luck.
Try updating to Hard SPL 2.47
The 3.27 Radio is NOT compatible with ANY DCD version 3.X and higher..... Have you read the Wiki? Can you flash the radio using the SD card method? All of your questions have answers in the Wiki.....
You should flash back to 2.3.2. Go into the bootloader(tri-color screen) and then flash 2.3.2 to the phone..... reboot it.... it should load up ok.... If this works for you to this point, you have several options to upgrade the radio ..... Read the Wiki....

Radio ROM Upgrade -> Error [328]

Anyone encountered this error before? It gets to 8% and then phone reboots and I get this on my PC screen. It says Error [328] (see attached image)
I am using Radio 3.37.75 (verizon), and my bootloader shows 2.40 Olipro
Any ideas?
Try this RUU it is version 3.16.4.3.
Yes, thats the version that I am using. I think... when I run it, it says 3.16.4.3 in the window title bar. (see screen shot)
EDIT: I tried it anyways, and I got the same thing. Do I have the right bootloader? Would a different one help?
what are you trying to flash
trying to flash my verizon xv6800 (which has an old dcd rom on it, radio 3.27 i think) to the new radio: 3.37.75.
Then i will flash with a newer dcd or ryan mogul rom.

Just follow my post here and only use the files and Radios that I provide. Make sure you read a few times so you understand, and dont skip anything. Most important based on what I have read in this thread. Use only the radios I provide on my share site and take your time paying close attention.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3687027&postcount=144
Thanks, I'll do it exactly like that. I will keep you posted. I have to get a new micro SD card, I only have an SDHC 8 GB
The radio can be updated via usb. I do it all the time. But it does hard reset the phone in the process.
I would try a newer radio like 3.42.40. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRadioROMs
I got my radio from there and have no problems updating the radio with ruu.
I followed the directions exactly like in Ryan's post mentioned above, (used USB instead of SD card), and it works!
Fully functional. I used Radio 3.42.02 (somewhere I saw that it was recommended over the others, went with it to be safe). Then Flashed Ryan Mogul Rom 2.2 Heavy.
Thanks everyone!

i have spl olipro-2.40, rom dcd 3.2.6 and want to upgrade radio to 3.42.50 using usb. should i downgrade spl to 1.20 before upgrade the radio? or i stick with current config and update the radio using RUU?
Still cant load radio
Obtained 6800 originally Alltel, not sure which radio, Had Olipro 2.40 installed, would hang on Alltel splash screen.
Could not get any RUU loads to complete (from USB or SD card), usually would fail around 50%.
Eventually was able to get RyanMogul 3.1 Cricket (lite) to load, but shows no radio and eventually screen goes blank. Never goes into active Sync mode.
We force boot loader mode and try and load several radios including Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.50.Alltel.rar, Titan_Radio_ROM_3.35.04,
but keep Getting error 328 from RUU when I try to load a radio..
tried RyanMoguls "Here is a fix for GPS for all you VX6800 users that gps will not function!!", but cant run relocker because no active sync connection.
Stock Verizon ROM RUU also gets error 328.
Any ideas.

[Q] Downgrading from SPL 1.16 Hard

Hi,
I have a touch dual running 6.1 which I unlocked but installed the incorrect radio back onto so now it doesn't ring.
After unlocking I upgraded sspl 1.16.exe and now have spl 1.16 hard which won't let me install the radio version I need 1.58.16.27 (this version is running on another phone with the same set up but is locked.)
I have seen with on these pages instructions like run uspl then spl1.15 but these don't seem to work for me. I flashed the rom but still have spl 1.16 hard although I am informed that the device is "Test only not for sale" on boot up.
Is there a sure fire way of downgrading or is there a way of reinstalling the correct radio in spl 1.16.
Am I doing something completely wrong. Thanks for any and all information.

Don't worry buddy, just flash a rom with a radio, or flash another radio and your device will ring again, for Niki roms with radio take a look HERE
Goodluck,
Worked a charm
Thanks for taking the time.
