Hi,
I have a T-Mobile Hermes 300
It has Telstra's software on it for Australia (from the previous owner)
It has the following installed:
IPL of 1.01
SPL of 1.06
Rom Version: 1.31.305.2
Radio Version: 1.20.31.10
Protocol Version: 32.52.7020.00H
ExtROM Version: 1.31.305.103
I am interested in upgrading just the Radio firmware to the latest revision available on here, is this possible without installing other firmware such as the OS?
I was planning on installing that Anti Brick SPL software before considering to upgrade it, is this the correct course of action? then just install the Radio firmware?
Will I loose the Telstra software? or can I use 3G even without it?
If I could continue to use 3G with Telstra in Australia and worldwide I'd be even happier!
Thanks!
Alex
You don't need the cusomtized Telstra software to use their 3G network. All you need is your device (assuming it is unlocked from TMobile) and your SIM card for Telstra.
I read some post around here specifically about Telstra. May want to search before you do anything - try to google forum search for Telstra 3G upgrade or something like that.
Thanks for that, I had a check and nothing really specific came up with google.
So all seems good on that frontier.
Now just need an answer on the Radio firmware part!
EDIT!!
Install HardSPL first (guide)
then install the new radio (guide)

Hi,
I have a problem wtih my HPC and would like to c if anyone can help.
Problem description:
After Upgrading the Rom from I-Mate's webpage to 1.66WWE the GSM phone has serious problems (seems very week).
I purchased my phone in the middle east and it had an older ROM version (Am not sure but it probably was 1.52 I am sure the radio was older than 1.10 but not sure which version I suspect it was 1.03.
When I first arrived here in the US it was working fine with AT&T cingular and T-mobile. Reasonable reception and stability.
Then I stupidly decided to upgrade the roms from i-mate's webpage and I started facing problems. Now the phone either can't find the network or sees a very very week signal.
More annoyingly when It tried to downgrade it to the older version on imate's webpage it refused to downgrade the radio version and kept it at 1.10.00.
My questions:
1. Any idea where I can find an older version of the radio rom s/w so I can get my GSM phone working?
2. Any ideas what I can do to upgrade to the 1.66WWE and the 1.10 radio and still have them work here in the US?
as it is now my settings are:
ROM version 1.52.00WWE (was 1.66 for while)
ROM date 10/29/03
Radio version 1.10.00
protocol version 1.337.18
ExtROM: 1.52.114
HELP!

I'm in the process of downgrading my UK T-Mobile MDA Vario2 from schaps 3.57/Radio1.50/HardSPL2.10/etc, for warranty purposes.
With the help of this thread and this guide, I'm back to WM5, SPL 1.04, IPL 1.00:
ROM 1.21.110.3 (01/17/07)
Radio 1.50.00.00
Protocol: 32.83.7020.20H
Obviously I need to downgrade the Radio, but I'm not sure what to. 1.03 rings a bell (although I tried it and got a country-code error). Apart from the Radio, is there anything else I'm missing. Are those SPL/IPL correspond to shipping versions?
If anyone can confirm UK T-Mobile factory version numbers before I send this handset back for repair I'd be very grateful!
Many thanks

OK, I see that Radio 1.05 seems to be the TMUK offering....

You can also check the wiki for shipped ROMs. TMUK may well be there.
Hi guys , i'm a newbie . My radio version is : 1.16.00.00 , i want upgrade but don't know which rom is good for me . My bootloader is :
HERM200 IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.0lipro
Which radio roms i should choose ?
Upgrade to Hard SPL V7 first..... What you have is an older, unsafe version. Before flashing a radio rom you HAVE to upgrade so your SPL is 2.10 oli...
Also, the info you have given is useless... Radio roms are area and carrier specific.
Where are you and who's your carrier? You might receive an answer then....
Hello, picking up on an already open radio thread, does anybody know which is a good radio for Argentina (South America), carrier Personal?
Thanks!
Hello... I have an American HTC HD2 (T-Mobile only) and used it a bit then upgraded to WP7. But then I moved to another country and I couldn't use the sim cards on my locked WP7 phone. So I gave it to a specialist and told him to unlock it. When I got the phone back it was WP 6.5 and Im okay with that, but what Im not okay with is that Twitter(peep) says Im forbiden to enter the server,etc and the only solution is to update to the lastest version, so
If I update my unlocked US HTC HD2 will it get re-locked and If not, where can I update, because Im not sure to use the US T-mobile update or to use the UK HTC update ... Help me please.
My Software Info - so Im totally clear:
OS version:
5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manilla ver:
2.5.20181527.0
ROM ver:
3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
ROM Date:
09/29/10
Radio version:
2.15.50.14
Protocol version:
15.42.50.11U
also some Hardware Info, if necessary
RAM size:
578MB
Flash Memory Size:
1024MB
I give so much information because I want to be sure that I wont get my phone bricked or get it re-locked, because a new phone and/or re-unlocking isn't cheap
Any feedback will help!
Once unlocked it will always be unlocked,no matter what you do to it.
3.14 is already the latest version and you can ONLY use tmous roms. Just because the sim has been unlocked does not change that. Flash any non tmous stock rom and you will have a brick.
BUT, here comes the weird bit,,, that rom you have flashed (3.14.405) is the wwe rom, not the tmous rom, which I found a little unexpected, however my previous comment stands, you should stay away from stock roms that aren't tmous roms.
I would be tempted to go for a NRG WM6.5.3 ROM & if Twitter is still a problem you could try MoTweets ... NRG ROM is about the best HD2 WM6.5.3 experience available ...
Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the forums looking for a solution to debrand and flash stock rom with 2.5 bootloader. Can anyone point me to the right direction?
I have tried DFT spl put get "invalid vendor ID.
From what I understand I can not use goldcard as my bootloader is 4.x
my phone is
HTC Titan (vodafone)
Carrier (unlocked)
OS version: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware revision number 1750.0602.40603.165
Hardware revision number:0002
Radio software version 17.5006.08.27_17.08.50.06U
Bootloader version: 4.6.175006.2(140733)
any help greatly appreciated. My HD2 @Dynamics HD2O 2.00 WP7.8 8858 is putting my titan to shame.
Your Titan is branded, even though it's carrier unlocked, it still carries a brand like ATT.
Firmware revision number 1750.0602.40603.165
That bit right there, the last 3 digits, usually shows the characteristic value of the phone on which network and region it is tied to.
Only phones with 401 (usually) are unlocked phones which do not carry and network branding in them.
Your luck is very slim, if you can find a matching Vodafone EU ROM with a bootloader version of at least below 2.05 / 2.5 (same thing) then there's a possibility of HSPL.
Success
Update.
It is possible.
I successfully downgraded SPL to 2.5. I created goldcard using nbh file in DFT SPL205 file then flashed HSPL.. Titan now running Dynamics 2.0.

How did you unlock? Could you give me some guidance?
the titan of a friend is in semi-brick and I would try to install a custom rom to restart it.. But I can not proceed with the downgrade bootloader
