Hello all,
I've used shell tools to update my G4 to WM6 Underground and I was wondering if I could flash my radio rom to 2.19 and still maintain the WM6? I've tried loading the radio only rom via Shell tools but the radio rom stays at 2.25.11. When I use the canned update utility with the radio rom it doesn't load since it's an older edtion. Can anyone please advise? BTW, love WM6. Battery life has doubled and OS feels more responsive.
Thanks,
Fabe
to flash the radio rom i used the wizard love update utility downoad from here if you dont have http://rapidshare.com/users/EXGZ7Tthe copy and paste the nk.nb file for the radio rom into the final dir overwrite and then flash i have just this second done it and updated my radio rom to the 2.61.11 by doing that
Thanks for the response. So is the 2.61 the more desirable radio rom than the 2.19?

Good luck
Asukaly yours!
WTF! This is _VERY_ good news!! :shock:
How did you manage to cook the type 2 radio rom??
Is Ma_Upgrade_NoID working with the hermes bootloader?? AFAIK the bootloader lacks wdata command... (replaced by 'wdatah')
Is it that you need only rwdata but not wdata to flash radio?
An explanation of the process to create the working nbf out of the extracted .nb files would be very useful!
Thanks!!
EDIT: I uploaded the files to xda-dev FTP and make a new wiki page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Thanks for the new Radio update. Just updated my MDA Vario II. Will test if there's any improvements!
Seems to work like a charm!
ROM 1.18.255.3
ROM date: 07/22/06
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
Ext ROM 1.18.255.106
Radio 1.16.00.00
And my Bootloader remains at V1.04 :!:
(I'd have pasted a bitmap, but I couldn't figure out how!).
Major kudos to Asukal!!!!!!!
Now if we could only find a new TyTN System ROM to go along with this spiffy new radio...
super Asukal, great news!!!
about the screen alignment problem, if you have some free time, could you please translate whats is the problem and how they do to fix the screen alignment problem please
http://inuchanbt.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-86.html
thanks you so much Asukal!
I am receiving country id error : 120 while attempting to upgrade the radio from Cingular 1.31 ( radio 1.13). Even when i ran the upgrade second time device seems to go into radio update screen but just sits there and doing nothing.
then the radio updare error comes up. following the soft reset I have checked device information and radio version is still: 1.13
device is HTC TyTN, originally shipped with Italian ROM.
any ideas?
@superduper: I guess you need a 1.04 bootloader to perform the radio only rom upgrade from Asukal, but your current rom has bootloader 1.06
Let's see if anyone else with Cingular 1.31 rom can do the radio only upgrade or has the same problem you reported...
@Asukal: please give us details on how you did to extract the "radio_.nbf" from shipped Hermimg Cingular NBH file
this is super excellent. Now all we need is a rom image update then we can make our own aku 3.2 version.
Good job Asukal.

PLS patient!
and thanks report guys!.
if no_id_upgrade can not work on Bootloader 1.06,
can u try with Hermes Upgrade.exe with this nbf?
(you must remove nbh before that, i didnt try that so i am not sure it work or not) :?
thanks a lot Asukal!!!

Is it any better?
So, a question for those of you who've done the upgrade - does it make any difference you can notice? Just wondering if it's worth doing the upgrade at the moment, or waiting for new HTC rom when it finally appears.
Tried this on a Orange M3100 with the 1.31 Cingular ROM, but it doesn work. Just sites at 0% and then you eventually get an error. Seems like you need bootloader 1.04 for this to work...
are there any improvements using these new radio roms? also, what's the difference between 1.10 and 1.16?
thanks
I wasn't having any radio problems previously, and so far, I haven't seen any issues with 1.16, either.
Bluetooth works fine, UMTS/GSM calls work fine, WLAN works fine, and UMTS data works fine...
If I see any strange behaviors, I'll be sure to point them out...

Aaaaghhh! I can't wait
Please tell me if this process is correct to create the radio_.nbf:
Code:
nbh2dbh.pl HERMIMG.nbh HERMIMG.dbh
dbhdecode.pl HERMIMG.dbh
alpinenbfdecode.pl -e ./GSM.nb radio_.nbf
My radio_.nbf and yours differ, is it because of headers?
Thanks!
Just tried the procedure on mine.
Hardware = Dopod 838Pro
ROM = imate
Upgraded to radio version 1.16, the procedure worked fine! Except that after the flashing was complete the PC displayed "upgrade failed" but after a soft reset of the PDA, it worked.
You did a great job, Asukal!!!
I can see some improvement that I can see more wireless bar on my title bar after I upgrade radio ROM.
Thsi is cingular ROM, so I don't know somebody who lives outside US can see this improvement, but I can see it in my rural US state.
In addition, as you said, I can see OS runs smoothly than my original ROM.
I was usually stuck when I run "menu" or "button" applet in control panet. But after I upgrade to Radio 1.16, I don't have it.
I don't know why, but it is real.
I appreciate your effot!!
works great, thanks..
guys who can not flash Radio
One of my friends try to flash 1.16.and faild in that.
But could flash 1.11.
then tried 1.16 again, finally he could flash 1.16.
Please try this step.<this is not to guarantee can do, just a possibility>
And i will prepare 1.13 also soon.
Here's the extracted radio 1.21 from Imate JasJam's 1.31.305.2 ROM.
HERM_1.21.31.10_type2_radio.rar
Remember:
- You need bootloader 1.04 to upgrade to a extracted radio ROM
- screen will show "Upgrade Radio Stack Please wait........."
- after finishing flashing radio (about 15 min) you will see an "Upgrade Error", but the radio ROM will be flashed anyway.
- no need to hard reset after upgrading the radio, only soft reset with stylus when upgrade ends.
- upgrade at your own risk, i take no responsibility for anything that happens to you, your Hermes, your marriage, etc.
For more information see the extracted radio wiki page.
Enjoy!
thanks machine for all
OK, I flashed this Radio ROM into my Hermes
Well, guys, I 've already flashed this Radio ROM into my Hermes.
The procedure itself worked as usual. Radio version before update was 1.20.31.10.
Device booted up after flashing successfully
At this moment I don't see any difference between 1.20 and 1.21 versions.
[HELP]

Thx...upgraded succefull...after downgrade the Bootloader from 1.06 to 1.04..then able to upgrade.....
Didn't see anything special...hehe...
I have flashed Bootloader 1.01 MFG on my vodafone 1605, with this bootloader, i successed flash voda french rom, htc 1.35 rom and Dopod CHT rom, i flashed bootscreen too.
but i didn't find any method to flash a Radio rom, there isn't explication in Wiki neither in thread.
can you tell us pof, how to flash a radio rom with a Bootloader 1.01 MFG, please!
thanks at first
@googoo no way to do this directly with 1.01 MFG yet. Essentially, the process is this:
First flash a 1.04 bootloader using 1.01 MFG. Next, flash desired radio. Then flash back to 1.01 MFG.
detail on these steps are in the Wiki
@qooqoo: sorry I forgot to add it in wiki, i thought it was obvious, but you're the second person asking this, so I added it to the wiki now. Thanks sleuth.
thanks Sleuth255 and pof.
I think I made a mistake... I'm using SPL 1.09 and I didn't even realise... It says its upgrading radio stack!!! Whats gonna happen???
I've upgrade to this ROM to test it...
BTW: I ve updated the wiki with the Protocol Version installed with this radio: 32.53.7020.01H
Test?
Can anyone post his experiences with the new Radio ROM?
Well I am using 1.20 and sometimes the device freezes while receiving a call. I am not sure if this is Radio ROM related and I am not sure if I should now upgrade to 1.21 or downgrade to 1.16
TyTN is a German T-Mobile MDA Vario II, it came with a 1.03/1.06? Radio ROM.
Edit: Will try with 1.16 now - but a 1.21 stability report would be appreciated..
@Applestar:
My Jasjam which is a HT647... came factory installed with this new ROM which is now available at the imate website (www.imate.com):
ROM Version: 1.31.305.2
ROM Date: 8th September 2006
Radio Version: 1.21.31.10
Protocol Version: 32.53.7020.01H
Ext ROM Version: 1.31.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.06
The problems I faced with this original ROM was that the Radio would freeze abruptly without any apparent indication. The GSM signal showed full bars but I could not make a phone call. Similarly when someone tried to phone me he would get an indication that my mobile is switched off. Other than this the PDA would continue to function normally and therefore no warning that the Radio has stopped functioning till I needed to make a phone call. I could not establish a pattern when this occurred but it would definitely occur once or twice a day. The only way to restore my radio to working condition was to switch to flight mode and back or a soft reset.
I then downloaded the ROM which was available at the i-mate site (www.imate.com) at that time i.e. on 9th January 2007. The ROM that I downloaded was definitely older than the one which came preinstalled on my jasjam and is detailed below:
ROM Version: 1.20.305.3
ROM Date: 21st July 2006
Radio Version: 1.07.03.10
Protocol Version: 32.41.1010.02H
Ext ROM Version: 1.20.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.04
Ever since I have installed this ROM the problem of the Radio freezing is gone for ever and now I am absolutely satisfied with my investment.
Furthermore I have not experienced any adverse effect of the older ROM. The free RAM is the same for both ROMs, I do not see any difference in signal strength or battery life either.
I would be interested to know from members who have recently downloaded the the ROM if anyone has noticed the Radio freezing problem
Kind Regards
ok, thanks the operation is correct.
I've finished the testing of this 1.21.31.10 Radio ROM.
I used to use the 1.20.31.10 ROM and this is the comparation of this ROM with the new 1.21.31.10 ROM:
- Under GSM and UMTS the time to register in the network as the coverage is the same in both ROMs. I haven't noticed any difference while talking and receive voice calls.
- But THE PROBLEM is that the data calls are broken in this ROM. I used direct Modem connection with my work (we got two 56k Modem waiting for incoming calls). It connects without apparently problems with the modem (maybe it takes more time than the older ROM) but the data interchange is very sloooooooow and suddenly it stops! The data call isn't dropped but it doesn't interchange data after two or three minutes of slooooooow interchange. Finally, if you close the call and tries to reconnect it can't!!!! WM5 says that an unknown error happens and can't be connected!!!!
After a soft reset you can connect again but it remains very sloooooow...
Fortunately I've switched back to the old and stable 1.20.31.10 ROM and everything works normal now (thank God!).
So, my final advice:
DON'T USE THIS ROM!!! IT LACKS DATA CALLS BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IS BROKEN!!!
My recommendation: 1.20.31.10 ROM.
Best regards.
I recommend: Radio 1.07.03.10
With this Radio I had very good signal strength. Better than Radio 1.18.00.10.
I think newer Radios aren't better to lower the SAR-Level.
I am having a very positive experience with this ROM. While I doubt there is any way to explain this, but after I installed it, I was able to use the Microsoft Voice Command through the BT headset and the hack that is provided in a different discussion group. Using 1.20, that hack did not work with my device. Otherwise, I see no difference.
One new feature provided by this radio ROM as compared to the one in the previous JASJAM WWE version:
Automatic date/time and time zone synchronization with your GSM operator.
There is a new properties tab in Phone properties where you can enable/disable this feature.

Do you know which radio ROM has the lowest SAR level?
Only one short question! -Only one short answer! ;-)
I´ve flashed my hermes to the 1.35 radio rom. Now iam getting these ****ty
radio waves signals out of the hermes´s earspeaker . And it is possible that i have to send in my device, because i have several problems with sending sms. Because of these things it would be very nice if it is possible to flash back to the shipped version of the Radio Rom(1.27.00.00)
I tried to flash back with
RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe
and it completed succesfully but on the hermes is still the 1.35 Version of the radio rom.
THX
You will need the sspl version of the installer. It can be downloaded here.
hmm, so i took the wrong radio ROm version?
on this site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291827
i took the first one because i have a herm300 from t-mobile.
So i only have to flash with the version you gave me, and thats all?
Update radio without Activesync connetion
Can I update this rom version without any activesycn connection. My HTC TYTN is hang out after rom dwwongrading and now it start unitl windows loading screen. I think that only alternative is download new rom with help of three colour screen usb connetion or with help of mtty program. My bootloader version is 1.09
Please let me know your opinions,
Juha
@Miliano: you are correct. The sspl download for v1.27 was created by wpbear.
Unbelievably, I found the link for you by looking in the Hermes WiKi....
@frontpage: sspl based flashing won't work unless windows mobile can load
I just tried to flash a new radio rom to my 8525 via this link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Choosing the 1.50.00.00 radio rom, downloaded files to my desktop. Instructions on the link above say to just extract and flash, but when I do, I'm prompted that I'll be overwriting Schap's O/S Rom!
Attaching image that I'm getting right before file flashes. This doesn't make sense to me that it would prompt me if I want to overwrite Schap's file. Please advise if I am going to brick my device if I flash this given the message I'm getting.
Thanks,
Linda
Will be fine, you won't overwrite the os, it will just update the radio rom. Just make sure you have Hard SPL 7 installed and please, use the sd method to flash the radio rom. If anything goes wrong with the flash, you WILL end up with a brick...
Thanks! The fact that the message was telling me I was about to overwrite Schap's OS had me very concerned. Yes, I have HardSPL loaded.
hi
My friend has an HD2 with Nand Android on it and he wants to flash back to windows mobile
So here are my questions:
Should I perform a task7(If I remember correctly,task 7 wipes away everything on the phone,right?) ?
what is the most stable official winmoblie rom for it?and what HSPL and Radio versions does it want and where can I download it?
If I just install that official rom (with the RUU it gives me),Won't it do all the things I want?(like flash the required hspl and radio and wipe away all android related things?If not how should I remove android ?
thanks in advance
First thing to do is determine if a TMOUS (red/green end & call keys) HD2 or standard EU HD2 (all buttons are white icon) as flashing wrong ROMs to TMOUS version results in a bricked device.
You probably best going for latest WWE version if standard HD2 & if TMOUS version go to HD2 wiki as have link for TMOUS ROMs
You can dump the nbh file from within the exe direct to sd card for flashing but not the best option really as likely to run into CID issues as HSPL will be removed when flash via SD method & could cause more problems than it worth.
I would do via PC & usb cable & install best match HSPL for ROM you choose then install ROM via exe & RUU flasher. The radio will also be flashed with what packaged with ROM you have chosen.
Once flashed I always recommend doing hard reset to make sure all is loaded correctly from newly flashed ROM & reduce likely first flash/setup glitches.
If after super stable bug free WM6.5 I would also consider looking at custom ROMs from NRG & the standard looking but much improved CleanEX Standard V1.02
Roms can be found here:
