I have read wiki for several weeks now, and I found many answers to my questions, but still there are questions that I couldn't find answers of, here's one...
I have installed HardSPL, and my radio version is 1.06.00.10
Just wondering if I upgrade to 1.47 let's say... will I be able to downgrade it back to the previous version? and by what? CustomRUU?
Any help is appreciated.
thanks.
Downgrading Radio After HardSPL
I'm not going to flame you...... however you do need to do some reading.....the answers are in the "wiki" & various posts in the forums...... use the search tool.
Also MrVanx has written guides which tell you how to "return your device" to it's original condition for "warranty purposes"....... those are BIG HINTS....
Good Luck Searching....
vpu2....OUT!!!!
sorry but I couldn't find a guide for downgrading radio, it just has guide to downgrade OS and bootloader only...
Did I miss something?
And don't get me wrong, I am not a guy who doesn't do any reading and ask, in fact, I read wiki for several weeks now, and I still couldn't find an absolute answer to my question... that's why I ask...
anyway, thanks.

Try downgrading your radio right now.. If it downgrades succesfully, then you'll know that you can downgrade your Radio after you've installed 1.47
And if it doesn't you'll know that you are stuck on 1.47 if you upgrade, unless there's a downgrade tool or some CustomRUU.. Don't wait for days for an answer, just do 5 min.'s of work.
haha, good, may be I should try that, since no definite answer show up...
But I'm afraid that 1.47 may not be as good as 1.06.00.10
=P

I was looking into upgrading my HTC tytn to the latest version. For some reason mine will randomly lock up.
Currently I have this info.
Rom:1.18.255.3
Date 07/22/06
Radio: 1.03.03.10
Protocol 32.34.7010.01H
ExtROM: 1.18.255.106
I just want the latest full version out there, not from other providers. Where can I find this?
Man Im new here just like you, but you have got to make an effort to read whats already here.
Have you read this yet? Also, when you say you dont want any ROM's from "other providers" thats kind of difficult to pin point when we have no idea who your provider is.
The info has already been provided on the wiki and upgrading tutorials, I would start there. I think after reading that info if your still having issues then I would ask a question specific to the problem you're having and Im sure someone will answer.
I think everyone will be helpful to those that try to help themselves first.
I read that but still am a bit lost. I use Orange and Tmobile, but the the phone I bought is unlocked and not from a provider
In my opinion, the best ROM right now is 2.05. Radio is 1.27. The "easy" upgrade doesn't give you good and stable performance for the device. So, you really need to read a lot before decide to play around with the phone.
What is the "easy" upgrade?

Download an .exe file from the FTP and double clicking it to upgrade your device. If you haven't unlock/SuperCID your device, you are even more limited in choices.
If you havent SuperCID... Is that an insult?
Please dont flame me. I have done alot of reading ... so much so that I think I have confused myself. I dont need step by steps how to do it ... I just need to know if what I am reading is correct or not.
I installed the new ROM and here is my info.
ROM 2.06.502.3
Radio 1.16.00.00
IPL - 1.00
SPL - 1.09
From there I did the v3 SIM & CID Unlocker ... which I did before but did again because I was not sure if it would stick.
All I want to do is upgrade the radio ... I drop alot of calls and I am hoping that 1.27.00.00 helps.
To do this, would I need to run the program to take my BL v. to 1.01 MFG from 1.09, then upgrade to 1.04. Then I can install a new radio ROM? Or is there something else that is keeping me from doing it.
I am sorry and I promise not to ask anymore noob questions. I just want to make sure I fully understand.
Thanks guys.

BTW, I think the new ROM version is great. My 8525 is running better than ever (faster) and battery life is WAY better than it was before. I strongly recommend it. Disable the startup animation though! It sucks and it messes up your volume.

Please, anyone. I really appreciate it.
Well, I am by far no expert on this (and scared of bricking my device) ... so what I did was everything you described ... then I re-installed the new Cingular ROM ... thereby upgrading my radio to 1.33.31.00.
Had I foresight, I would have used the unlocker before upgrading to the new Cinguar ROM (so I would not have to install it twice)...live and learn.
I did not bother with the steps you described necessary to install the 1.27 radio ...figuring I could live with 1.33.31.00
sorry, I misread your post.
-------------
You got radio 1.16 which has radiobl 107, so go ahead and grab a copy of the 1.27 radiorom and run the update.
I read that I need to have BL 1.04 to upgrade the radio.
I currently have BL 1.09. So the only way I can go back to 1.04 is by going to imei-check.co.uk and paying for it right?
Thanks,
Kangle
why do you want 1.27 instead of 1.33?
so, no one answered my prior question ... I realize the Radio ROMs are subjective (and discussed ad naseum in various places on this forum) but I am still looking for a succinct summary (if there is one) as to why I would tinker with my Radio ROM to get off of 1.33 and maybe down to 1.27 or some other.
Are there known and significant issues with 1.33?
Anyone?
I really dont know.
Most of the people I see on the forum are on 1.27.00.
I thought I read somewhere that it seemed to work well for most people, although I do not know why 1.33 wouldnt be just as good. Im still a noob.
If anybody can confirm what I am thinking regarding what I need to do, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kangle
well, 1.33 is working fine for me... and it certainly would be *easier* for you just to re-flash the new cingular rom again (now that you are sim unlocked and super cid) ... that is what I did, and it worked fine. [and candidly, I was to scared of the many steps I was going to need to take to otherwise downgrade my SPL in order to change my Radio]

No issues with 1.33. The only advantage of the 1.27 radio is that it uses radio bootloader (RBL) 1.007, whereas Radio 1.33 has RBL 1.008. The difference is that you can run downgrades on 1.27, but not on 1.33.
The only reason that you might want to downgrade is so that you may flash a trinity Radio if they manage to get the GPS going, which seems unlikely without a hardware mod. So unless you plan on opening up your Hermes at some stage to do some surgery, you don't need to downgrade the radio stack.
I have a quick question, I didn't see it anywhere so thought I'd ask:
I'm going to be buying a locked 8525 and I want unlock it so I can use with T-Mobile and I want to upgrade the ROM to one of the many ROMs available here.
My question is: is there a particular order this must be done? Can I upgrade the ROM then unlock? Do I have to unlock, then do ROM? Or will upgrading the ROM unlock for me?
Just wanted to check if there one's a certain way, or if anyone else was in a similar situation.
Thanks.
you can do it which ever order you want
Thanks, I just wanted to make sure.
I want to upgrade to a custom ROM and didn't know if there was an order, etc.
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.
check out the fourth stickied thread in this forum for info on unlocking, then the first stickied thread in the Hermes Mobile 6 forum for the BEST info on flashing.
= D
Take a look at my videos!
Be a good idea after unlocking to check your SPL again because I'm pretty sure you downgrade it to SPL 1.40. This culd problems if you then try to refash thinking you've got Hard SPL ver 7 (SPL : 2.10 Olipro) installed. Cheers..
Hi All you gurus out there...
I have upgraded the phone to ATT WM6 rom and then I've upgraded the Radio Ver to 1.54.07.
However I do not like this rom and planing on installing HTC version. Question is which version of do I need. I am using this phone on T-mobile(USA).
If this question is already posted then, can some one please point me to the links?
Many thanks.
Read this first.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Once this has been done you can pretty much pick any rom on the forum... Most, if not all, cooked roms dont come with the radio rom so if you like your radio there is no problems with it being flashed.
After flashing Hard SPL I recommend flashing using the SD card method as it is safer than the pc. You can find answers by doing a search on the forum or wiki. Cheers....

Thank you for the info.
Hi,
I know this has been answered probably but I got confused as most of the posts talk about 7500 or 7510 and SPL 1.2 or something higher.
I have a HTC x7501 with SPL v1.10.0000 and the IPL is v1.00. My radio version is 1.47.51.00 and ROM version is 2.19.453.4. The OS installed is Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
My question is can I upgrade to AP4 rom? Do I have to unlock my device first? It does accept different SIMs now. Is there a step by step instruction to do the AP4 rom upgrade specific to my model?
literally 6 threads blow this one is this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429013
please look around next time
its for all athena x750* devices
Hi Rorydaredkign, thanks for you prompt reply. I did look into the thread that you mentioned including other related posts. But I kind of got lost in all the version no. etc. Probably I am too new to try these things.
Also the link for the Olipro video does not work. Is there another link for this? Am I correct to assume that the unlocking/upgrading is similar for both x7500 and x7501? As the tutorial is for x7500.
I will appreciate any help in this regard.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Good advce from Rory there and also I have given this advice lots of times before and to you no different. please go HERE and read and learn, if you TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ you will learn. Please Please Please do not try to run before you can walk, or your Athena will be Bricked. I have been flashing ROM's for years now and still make the occasional mistake through rushing in to fast. AP 4.0 is a very good ROM but there are better ROM's now in my opinion. When you are READY try one of Michy's ROMs on spl 1.2.
Good luck and use the search button!!!
Regards
Jay
