... and horrible ClearType fonts. So, far 1.60 O2 asian is the best ROM. IMHO And it will not kill your XDA2, like 1.72 did to my poor imate which is on it's longa way to Dubai service centre
so anyone got version 1.02 or 1.03 will face 1.72(the nightmare lol its me :twisted: ) mine is 1.01 what is it mean??!
is there way to change it or upgrade it?? whats the diffrent?
Im thinking of downgrading, the 1.72 is stable. but not the radio stack, it sucks. dropping signal now and then, its really bad. 1.66 didnt have that problem..
1.72.104

No problem with 1.72.104 whatsoever - improvements in all aspects.
In fact i only have praises for it as a dream ROM.
Hi all,
I have no major complaints about this rom is seems quiet fast and stable.
It is in no way perfect but it newer than the others.
Can anyone share with us information on version 1.72 for XDA2: features, benefits, pros, cons... ?
Is worth upgrading from O2 1.60 ?
thanks
There are allready many threads on this.
But to conclude:
If you don't have any issues with your current version: stay with it.
You might consider 1.72 (the Qtek or iMate versions, NOT the T-Mobile beta) especially when:
1. You need certain Bluetooth options (ie serial port protocol) and don't want to mess around with hacks or extra 'tools'
2. Battery life is important
For me these points were enough to DO the upgrade (coming from 1.63 T-Mobile NL). And very happy with it.
Keep in mind that (unless you find a 1.72 from your own operator) you will have quite some work with getting all the customisations right.
One of these days I will post a good working set (no issues in a month holiday!!) of customisations to be used as a an extended rom for T-Mobile NL
i'm currently using the T-Mobile ROM v1.72WWE had no problem with it. the batt life was improved noticeably. I was using the O2 ROM v1.66WWE
as for my bluetooth i'm using the widcomm BT-PPC/PE v1.0.0 build 1400. no problems with it except that it turns off whenever i set my phone to standby mode.
downlaod
i have a qtek 2020 with rom 1.66 and it is doing a lot of problem which version is better and where can i download it

untill now ;
phone, gprs, activesync, run program, MS BT stack, sms, mms ........are running well. (maybe i am lucky with it)
keep to my salad untill SE come out.

many thanks to [Krueger] Dr. Stein, mamaich, itsme, edsub...
you are great man.
Most of the post regarding ROM Salads and customizations are beyond what I wish to perform on my device. To dat I have only loaded T-Mobile ROM upgrades that required nothing more than loading them automatically. I currently have the T-Mobile U7K Beta on my MDA II.
Can someone please explain the following:
1. Is there another T-Mobile 1.72 WWE available that I can load, non-beta?
2. I see other Custom ROMs on this site that state T-Mobile. Can I simply load those automatically or will I have to get into country ID, .nbf files, etc?

Official T-Mobile
Hi. Gratefuled
maybe this can help you : :?: :?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11169
ajong,
Thanks for the link. I have looked at that page/thread, but I think what I want is still not available.
I'm looking for an official T-Mobile 1.72 ROM, si I can get rid of the 1.72 Beta, or I'm looking for someone's custom ROM that I can load just like I could an official one. In other wors the custom I suppose would be ok, but I do not want to mess around with opeing the ROM and disecting and changing certain settings. Like I say, it just may not be out there.

pls help... thanks
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Himalaya/ROM152

really thanks for your prompt reply M4io :wink: ... much appreciate.
Any1 know what language is this rom ? :?: :?:
can you give me some instruction for downgrade ? i dont know how to do.
pls help... thanks
if it's exe then you can rename it to zip and open it and take a peek at the version that way
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaRomkitchen
I find this a good start (ofcourse 8) I wrote it) if you want to begin modifying and mixing upgrades/downgrades.
and ER2003Edit is very useful

Its in the Radio ( signal strength )...
before im using radio stack version 1.17 and 1.18 and i do have poor signal in my place. When i downgrade it to 1.08, i gained 2 precious bar of signal ... :lol:
download and try radio version 1.08 Here
@semisonic : Do you know if battery usage with radio 1.08 is bigger?
It's a small price to pay for better coverage, but i just wonder if it has something to do with that.
thanks Rudegar, this file is exe file. i'll try.
thanks M4io again. i'm now reading your post
to semis0nic : so you think the radio version affect the signal strength ? just change the radio version to 1.08 will give us 2 more bars ??? or total you have 2 bars ? pls share with me your experiences...[/quote]
I've extracted the radio ROM from latest Trinity ROM and packaged here as a standalone NBH radio upgrade:
HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rarThis radio has HTC_BOOT 0108 and GPS enabled.
Keep in mind that the safest procedure to upgrade your radio right now is:
Flash Hard-SPL v1.10.Oli on your phone
Flash the desired radio upgrade using the RUU package
Both steps have to be done with phone connected to computer through USB cable and activesync enabled, Des SSPL will be pushed into your phone when the RUU starts.
Remember that when flashing a radio only you don't need to hard-reset your phone, so no data will be lost.
Enjoy!
Excellent! Have you given this radio a work-out yet??
still flashing 92%
Edit: Flashed and working fine (see attached image), but still haven't seen any noticeable difference
What news with this radio ? most stable, battery ingrasse ?

Pof ,I understand 1.10.Oli will somehow protect us from bricking device by flashing a wrong radio.But since it is base on 1.04 ,so it will not support Radio BL 0108,so if I am now having 0108 here,and I flash this rodio 1.38,and I got a bad flash,I still can not repair my device.Is that right?
Radio-BL 0108 or something newer?
Hope the battery-duration will be better than in 1.35 Radio
@qvik123: If that happens you have two options to unbrick your device:
1) wait for a hard SPL based on 1.09 (which AFAIK Des will release soon), once you have it reflash the radio again.
2) You will still be able to flash an OS only because hardSPL will still keep the "fake" SuperCID on your device, so flash a OS image with KITL enabled and then use the KITL mehtod to unbrick your device with Platform Builder.
By any means, if **** happens do not overwrite 1.10.Oli with other bootloader.
Thanks Pof,you just answered the question which kept me thinking since Hard SPL released.Flashing this one,now by 30%.
flashed 1.01 oli, flashed 1.38.00.11 - no problem, BUT when I flashing/updating (or possibly bricking ) device, I like to know what exactly is a differences between versions, only one think I know about 1.38.00.11 is, that this version have GPS enabled. Thats all. Is any changelog, or list of changed/updated/improved features inside of roms? I know, that you just dump this rom from device, but it is really nice to know, if it is necessary. perhaps we should created one special thread with differences between versions, to better orientation (sorry if I miss this one, but I think at this time doesnt exist)... guys - thx for your work anyway
Thanks Pof I am going to upgrade.
ok a little lost on the process can I just download the 1.38 file and that will upgrade it or do i have to do something to the boot loader first? Sorry for the simple question.
yes, the question is really simple. but there is one more think you can do... read all this thread, and also this one. all necessary information is in there. and if you dont want to have 700$ paperweight, I really recommend to read all information about flashing procedures in wiki - here before you start. in any case of question or problem, do not hesitate to write some posts, but if anybody ask similar question like you, without some reading, which, yes, need a some time, then If somebody want to find any relevant and usefull information, must read about 60 % pointless posts... it is nothing personal, just for your info. forums is about people, and people keep forums alive.
you did not provide us any information about you current version of OS/ROM, BL version, for me it was easy, just extracted Hard-SPL.zip, runned ROMUpgradeUt.exe - after reset I have oli BL, then you can run HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rar.... there is much much more knowledge about that, so try wiki first, it is only for you own good.

Yes definatly read the wiki etc... but also do as sinmae has done and load a HardSPL first, this is especially relevant when flashing radios.
@pof are you also running a HardSPL based bootloader??
...can somene put this ROM on Rapidshare or somewhere else, cause XDA FTP is not working

Unfortunately HTC keeps this information private, so there's no ChangeLog.
The radio was not dumped from a device, but extracted from 1.23.408.1 Italian Trinity ROM.

The download server was down now running!!!!!
Just upgraded to radio 1.38 from 1.35 and I am running xdalive first release WM6 on O2 3g. Since the upgrade I am pretty sure the phone signal is now stronger as I have tested it in areas around my home and outside that got no signal, especially near my pc. I can now make a call next to my pc with 3 bars on the signal meter! The signal does not drop so much, I will test further and report back any problems, but so far so good.
Please let me know how you get on.
Can somebody compare the battery duration between this Radio and 1.34?

I will let you know on that one as I had it fully charged for the radio upgrade. I will keep an eye on it and report back.
I was about to down grade my radio back to .1.27 or earlier beacause of my UTMS reception in Brisbane (AU) and also the battery life. So i will also let you all know how this goes.
Hi there,
after upgrading to WM6 (twice) i feel that the radio version (1.45.00.00) is less reliable than the one i had with WM5 (1.38.001),
about 10% of the calls i get, the phone doesn't ring at all and about 30% of the calls the phone only rings once and then stops,
overall reception in 3G is worse than it used to be.
is there a way to cook WM6 with the WM5 radio?
thanks
I THINK if you flash your device with Mobile 2005 you'll ger your radio ROM back, not sure.. Just try and post the results..
thank you for your post
yes indeed i will,
but then i will get WM5 back again, right?
what i really wanted was WM6 with WM5's radio.
i upgraded to the new WM6 with radio 1.45.00.10 so far so good, i will have to wait before getting any conclusions
well i think that both radio versions are almost the same, so i am asking again if it is possible to change only the radio version or to combine an old radio version with WM6 before flashing the whole rom,
thanks for your reply

I have only seen the 1.47.51 radio posted seperately. It seems to work pretty well for me.
Later...................
P.S. It does require a hard reset to install it tho.........Later
When I upgraded to WM6 the radio wasn't working any more: I was unable to receive incoming calls, the device switch directly to messaging, and the radio was rebooting after each call.
For me, in France, if the ROM radio of the Athena is higher than 1.38 the phone app is turning mad... So I had to go back to WM5 WWE then, flashing to the WM6 rom posted on the forum.
I've tried few days ago with the new rom from DOPOD, everything is working quite well, exept... the phone app which do no whant to receive calls any more.
I've a german AMEO with the HARD SPL but it does the same thing with a "french" HTC X7500.
Is it a provider incompatibility?
That's why i'm intersted of someone has the 1.38 radio ONLY
thanks!
Well me too.
Does somene have the original radio version 1.38.00 for posting?
thanks
Radio rom 1.38
@Olipro
Could you make an rom image with only radiorom 1.38 I have found that in the Netherlands radio 1.38 has a far better UMTS reception and it also has a far better GPS reception. This radio has no flaws and was developed for europe. I think 1.47 was optimized for the states and should be used over there. 1.45 was made for asia. So please make a 1.38 radiorom only.
