can anyone please post radio rom 1.08 please... thanks alot
Here ya go. 1.08..
thanks dude!.... i downgraded my radio to 1.08, ROM is 2.02 and EXT ROm was 1.66+remix.... worked like a charm....
it was an experiment to see if my hunches are correct..... im now off to test it ... to see if id get better signals... ( because I was sure I did get better signals as compared to the new radio roms.)
waiting for your feedback i have 1.18 & want to see if this one is better or not
greetings Rabia!..... in my opinion, 1.08 is better than the others i have used.... my device usually looses signal level whenever I'm at home.... (1.14,1.17) but not with 1.08. wherein i managed to get 1 bar, (my house is so far flung that signal level is low.

Zman is CORRECT!
Radio signal strength is stable and i also manage to gain one additional bar on my phone.
Thanks pare..
no prob dude!... enjoy the additional signal bar
thanks for the advice, any advice on how to upgrade my radio alone?
you cant upgrade the radio only.... you have to include the whole package.... just use the same o/s rom and extd rom that you are using now. goodluck!
Z-man,
What's the reason why the 1.08 performs better than the 1.18? Isn't the 1.18 a much newer build than the 1.08?
Thanks for the feedback Pare!
that I cannot answer dude, the only reason i wanted to have 1.08 again on my device is that, from my observations, it performs better that the others that i had used.... i still havent tried 1.18.
also, i read in one of the posts, "newer doesnt mean better" as the guy posted... sorry forgot the name of the poster.
maybe doing revisions in some parts, produces bugs in other parts of the radio rom....just maybe.
I leave it to you if you wanna downgrade radio rom..... do check your device and from your experiences with other radio roms which one would be best for you...
I was luck to be in a far flung area, that I was able to observe the behavior of other radio roms, in terms of signal level and performace.
gud luck dude!
would i need the password to make it work for my operator, if any please post the password for this radio version
that would be 0x20040306 or 0x20040305
thanks for the password, this is the best radio i tried so far, even better than 1.18, i live in a place with a bad signal coverage (home) its only the toilt now where i completly disconnect :shock: well toilt is not where i live :lol: i care less at least the rest of the house covered now :twisted:
good for you dude!... enjoy the signal
I have been experiencing problems with hand-overs whilst in the 3G mode.
This started about 4 weeks ago and affects all Radio ROM's on WM5 and WM6.
What happens is that when moving from one cell area to the next, the signal is lost and the phone disconnects. One has to then force a connection again. This does not happen if the phone is set in the GSM mode.
The problem is network related and well known to Leaf Wireless.
They informed me that a WM5 upgrade would be posted at the end of this week which included the fixed Radio ROM.
They will however not be including this Radio in their WM6 upgrade to be issued at a later stage. ( To protect the sales of the comming Kaiser?)
Is this fair treatment to hand out to their loyal customers?
So your phones that were purchased from January on, will not benefit from the ugraded OEM's and fixes on the WM6 release.
I was planning on upgrading to a Kaiser, but after waiting patiently for a better ROM for sooooo long, and now this news - no chance!!
I expected better for a device costing +/- R8000 ($1,100)
As far as I know, radio firmware do not depend on the OS. You would normaly be able to extract the radio version from the WM5 rom and flash it on your WM6 device.
If they really change the way the OS interact with the radio, it is really screwed; but I am very doubtfull about it
basilrsa, are you currently on WM5 or a cooked WM6 (or maybe the official Asia one)?
I have never really experienced a disconnect problem when switching cells, but more of a "data hanging" issue, ie. it will show it is still connected, but no data is flowing. This has been on WM5 (Pre-AKU3 radio and AKU3 radio). I am currently on 1.48, and it seems much better. I see you are on Vodacom ... they have been having problems with that for a long time now

Thanks for your view, it is appreciated.
Yes, I will be able to extract the Radio from the WM5 release and flash it to my device.
The problem is that many users in SA want their warranty intact. By altering the standard ROM's they void their cover.
The point is how can they provide the new Radio with WM5 and not WM6 which they intend to release, but with a buggy Radio!

See my signature for my current setup (WM6 - Sleuth and Radio1.48)
The problem does exist as a new Radio attached to WM5 will be released at the end of this week.
The post above will explain why I am pi**ed off.

please post it if you manage to extract it !!!
Radio confirmed in 6 dead GSM cases : 1.54.30.10
Radio stated in 5 dead GSM cases : 1.54.7
1.54.30.10 and 1.54.00.10 are known to have stability issues
Other 1.54 varients may have issues which are killing the radio hardware
As has been mentioned in other threads elsewhere and on another forum (win4mobiles) - there is presently an epidemic of GSM problems that seem to be plaguing users and either killing or bricking Hermes.
There are at least 14 cases around the Hermes area on this board now of people running a varient of radio 1.54 as their last radio then ending up with intermittent GSM or no radio - many being unable to roll back when problems start or finding bad blocks when telnetting into their phone to try and unbrick it.
I also have just learnt of another case here running 1.54.30.10 that's just died over xmas.
For technical discussion on these issues - see this thread
This is the one thing they all have in common and it's starting to look suspiciously like there may either be an issue with this radio or an issue with the radio when used on certain networks or combination of issues. Certainly, up to the 1.50 dying GSM modules was a little more uncommon and now there has been a splurge of them.
Just to remind some of the more inexperienced ROM experimenters out there - Hermes has a firmware driven radio in a custom chip and the radio images change how the hardware within the chip functions. It is quite possible for a bug in a radio to damage the hardware over time.
If the radio hardware itself gets fried then the only cure is a new motherboard, if the flash goes bad but the hardware isn't damaged then using the unbricking guide in the wiki you may be able to get some life back into it or roll it back.
So experienced users be careful until we know more, and inexperienced users please bear in mind that once you've found a radio that is good for you and works there is not much further point in trying every other radio.
Especially use caution with any versions of 1.54 at the moment until there has been more information collected about this.
Good to know...I'm staying away from that bad boy! It was odd that so many were having radio issues lately. thx for the notice!
A little alarmist..... That being said, read this:

Hello mikeapollo, why apollo do you live in beswick
Anyway back on topic ,i have upgraded to 1.54 and then down graded to 1.50 and have had no problems with either radio and i have flashed my device more times than i can remember over the last few months, so maybe i am just lucky.
What type of herme's are the ones that are being bricked hermes 100 or hermes 300?
mine died way before I upgraded to the 1.5x radio, I believe it first started showing problems with 1.38, or 1.4something.
I don't think it has anything to do with the radio, simply people upgrade, hoping the latest and greatest radio will solve or help their problems. Then the radio completly dies and they are stuck with the last radio flashed.
If the latest radio was 1.12, I think you would see the same thing happening.

Well, there is an implication from that thread that the problem is 1.54.xx based.
But the core of Mike's post is that programming/reprogramming radio ROMs is not the same as flashing the OS. The radio ROM drives the radio output directly so if it accidentally sets too high a level then it can be like turning up your home hifi amp too high. And just like your home hifi, you can blow it up.
So being more cautious with radio ROMs is sensible advice. If a radio works for you don't go seeking even better performance because that "better performance" might be at the cost of increased gain and eventual failure of the radio hardware.
Incidentally, my son works in radio design and tells me that radio circuits are very sensitive to heat and can be damaged by overheating.

I see your point - thats why this thread is labeled potential problems... It is a warning and is not an alarmist statement of "This will kill your device" it is merely a caution that there are well documented cases of instability with this radio and there are growing numbers of dead radio modules which have all been using 1.54.x at time of death - and that death has occured within a few weeks of starting to use it.
Again, if you think that there is a sudden spate of dead radios because "things have worn out" then look at the evidence - Not everyones device is dying at the same rate but users of 1.54.x are seeing their devices dead within a very close timescale - usually 6-8 weeks of use. We've had lots of dead radio threads here but the amount over recent time is unpresedented and it's affecting both "young" and "older" devices.
If you cross-reference posts from the threads about 1.54.x some posters from there also posted in other threads about "odd" problems - then a month later have posted in the bricking threads saying their phone one morning just said "No GSM". Some of these devices appear to have been "new" - so unless they were exceptionally heavy users I think the rules out the devices wearing out. Again tho - they could have just been runts as you can get a duff one out of the box...
Radios normally don't just fail like that - the normal thing that happens is they degrade over time. The PGA that holds the firmware is also very resilient - once it's written unless something dramatic happens it will rarely just "grow" bad blocks overnight on it's own - particularly if it's turned on at the time - as it's structure is different to NAND memory (where your OS image is held).
So while it is certainly true that flashing 1.54.x will not instantly kill the device unless you're seriously unlucky - it looks like there may be an issue that either grows over time (a progressive effect) or causes dramatic sudden failure under certain usage scenarios (which may or may not be common to all areas/networks/bands/etc).
So if you're in a strong signal area and the radio hardware never needs to be driven "hard" by the firmware you may never experience a problem with this radio - but if you're in an area of variable or weak coverage it may just be driving the whole shebang too hard.
As Ree-shar has correctly said, the programmable arrays (where the radio firmware is held) and the output drivers in radio hardware are effected by heat - and looking at the facts, driving a higher power (gain) will generate more heat and drain a battery faster - that heat could be a factor in either the GSM hardware simply failing or (as has also been seen) the blocks in the PGA where the firmware itself is stored going "bad" therefore making it impossible to flash another radio image to it.
Again, it's not being alarmist it's about exercising caution that there could be a problem for SOME people with this radio and reminding the casual users of this forum of the basics about the radio images - and in particular :
having the latest release is NOT always the best option for your device,
many radios are developed for certain countries/networks/etc so one developed for an AT&T device in the US may not quite perform as intended when used in Europe so try and use one at least that is roughly native to where you are first if you can
Problems with heat, battery life, long drop out periods or "odd" radio issues can be a warning that something may not be right.
It is very possible for firmware to kill actual hardware (something people often forget).
Changing your radio will NOT fix broken SIM cards, WiFi, Bluetooth or external GPS problems, Nor will it magic up a signal from nowhere if you live in a crap coverage area.
Using firmware that drives the hardware harder in order to increase the gain of both the transmit element and recieve element in any radio module is usually at the expense of the lifespan of the radio device.
Always experiment cautiously, be aware of the risks and minimise them and read other peoples experiences before just taking the latest image and flashing it (ie - read the wiki, cross reference posts and take some time to do some research BEFORE flashing that new radio/rom/whatever!.

From what I've cross referenced so far, 3 deaths have been Herm300 and 1 was stated to be a Herm200.
I'm trying to collate as much info as possible on this to find out if there is a definite correlation between this radio and certain models/networks/areas,
We've had dodgy radios released before but never a potential "suicide-bomb" radio hence my interest - (I'm still on 1.43 here with over 500hrs talk on the life timer and it's still going strong).
<conspiracy> On the other hand... Could 1.54.x have leaked out to help sales of the TyTN II </conspiracy>

I have been using 1.54.07.00 pretty much since I got my 8525 a few months ago and haven't any issues...yet . I flashed the 1.54.x radio when I tried out the official AT&T WM6 ROM, but since have been using schap's ROMs (no radio update). My question: is the official 1.54.07.00 radio from the AT&T WM6 ROM the same as getting a 1.54.07.00 from elsewhere?

Yes. The official AT&T 1.54.07.00 will be identical to the extracted 1.54.07.00 as thats where it was extracted from - the clue is in the numbers
Also, if you are using the official radio update for your device on your network you should nothave nothing to worry about - and of course if it turns out there is a problem with this bit of firmware you'll be well covered by your network & waranty anyway.
Incidentally, quite a few people who have suffered the mysterious sudden "NO GSM" death problem can still boot their phones to the OS but generally have been unable to re-flash the radio so in the event of death it still seems possible to "roll back" the OS ROM to "the proper one" for waranty reasons <ahem>
Latest update on research - and general advice
NO-GSM bricks - 28/11/07-03/01/08 (from forums)
Type Location Radio Sudden death info :
--------------------------------------------------------
H300 UK 1.54.00.10 Yes Problem from 1.50 T-Mob WM6

H300 Germany 1.54.00.10 yes Died after soft reset
H100 Netherlands 1.54.00.10 Yes GSM increasingly unrealible
H100 Singapore 1.48 yes No GSM after flashing black PRO
H300 Germany 1.54.00.10 yes Died after soft reset (2wks in)
H200 Pakistan 1.50 yes died reverting to 1.48
H300 UK 1.54.30 yes Unable re-flash bad blocks
H100 unknown 1.57 (?????) yes died in use 2 days post flash
n/A Spain 1.51 yes batt hot / 1wk then GSM fail
n/a UK 1.54.7 unsure GSM bad - Died flashing 1.4x
There are another 12 which I don't have quite enough detail on yet to class as a "No-GSM brick" so am not presently including them in this table.
Stats so far :
12 x European found and confirmed failures of which :
* most unable to roll back radio
* if able to - failure still occurs or
* All died after some sort of 1.54.xx flash regardless of rollback
* Majority seem to be European failures many on T-Mobile in Germany/Netherlands and UK
Pakistan/Iran - Actual ROMs and circumstances not clear. 1.5x quoted but no confirmation.
Singapore 1.48 failure - Included in list as failed between 28/11 - present.
NB
Statistically, more people are likely to run the more-recent ROMS so while the
evidence here appears to show that there is a risk with the 1.5x radios - many people with a TyTN in a questionable state of health will be running them anyway so do bear this in mind. Use this info to make an informed choice!!!
The common trend appears to indicate problems starting after flashing a 1.5x radio and staying even if they roll back *OR* dying when trying to flash a lower radio - Again, not conclusive but building a picture.
OFFICIAL updates
Users who are downloading OFFICIAL updates from their network operator, HTC or any other "official" source should not need to worry - whether there is an issue or not with radios 1.5x your network should support you in the case of failure as you have an "official" update. Especially as the "official" updates containing radio 1.51.xx and above seem to be in areas where "no gsm bricks" are not being commonly reported (as of yet).
General radio issues
To clarify one point many seem confused about - Your signal lock, radio stability etc is generally unaffected by the OS ROM as the GSM stuff is handled by the RIL itself.
The issues of things like the "dialler going weird", applications locking up, etc are generally NOT related to the radio ROM and are related to the OS ROM or combination of 3rd party apps/hacks and OS ROM.
Issues with "lost calls" or "unconnected calls" or "bad data" can be caused by the network itself. The T-Mobile 3G network in the UK is a good example where it has "off" days in some areas where people miss calls (phone never rings) or need to make 10 attempts to dial out.
Switching to GSM for a while, trying another networks SIM card or moving area often magically "fixes" these issues and by the time the user puts their own SIM back in or moves back into area the network has got it's act together again ;-)
Radio roms themselves only affect the radio interface layer (RIL) - the OS "calls" this when it needs to use it and this is where many people seem to be mixing up the issue of "stability" of a radio and "stability" of an OS ROM/application. (remember, the dialler IS an application)
If a radio is unstable - you may experience GSM/3G dropouts, calls breaking up, slow dialling or long signal searches but your OS should on the whole function fine.
If an OS or application is unstable - you may experience dialler lockup or failed calls (remember, the RIL tells windows to tell YOU that you have a call!)
but your GSM/3G signal should be solid, switch between bands and log on and off the network without any fuss.
Overall stability is not just dependent on the OS ROM you are using but also 3rd party applications. Problem solve your device BEFORE just flashing a radio to try and fix an issue as it may give you a nasty surprise and introduce MORE issues - then troubleshooting becomes even harder still and we end up where we are today...
When It's broke, It's BROKE
Some radios work better than others on different networks in different places - that has (and always will!) be the case. People though have become complacent in thinking that they are safe running any old bit of radio code from anywhere and are not looking into what effects it can have.
Many flashers don't even know that mismatched radio bootloaders can cause a brick and will have several fun-packed hours sat down trying to turn it into an "unbrick" (or just make it worse turning it into a breezeblock )
The radio rom itself effects how the RIL talks to the OS (windows) and how your signals get transmitted to the base station. Two separate things. Usually, the main bit which radio updates change is the radio stack itself - the bit between the radio hardware and windows - with minor tweaks to the radio hardware itself and how it's driven.
However, it is possible as well for a radio rom to drastically change how the radio hardware (the tiny transmitter in your phone) transmits
its signal onto the network... The tiny transmitter might have a current limit of, say, 50mA but there is nothing except software
to limit the current to 50mA... And software can have bugs or can be tweaked and could accidentally drive 100mA through it and burn the device out if it's in a given situation (like a poor reception area, switching bands etc)
IF (and it's a big if) you find that a poor radio has actually done something like this and caused physical damage to the radio hardware itself (overdriven an output for example) then
unfortunately that's it... It's knackered. No amount of rolling back will fix it to how it was. Like driving an LED with too much
voltage - it will never burn as brightly as it should have done had the specifications been followed in the first place.
Therefore, *IF* a radio like 1.5x turns out to have a bug and has introduced problems with the radio hardware itself - upgrading it or downgrading it will mean the problem will remain - At this point the only cure will be to have the whole radio PGA hardware replaced by a service centre.
Hence the importance of finding out *IF* we are seeing European devices being damaged in this way.
The better news about the RADIO failures (roll-back for warranty)
Most people who have experienced these recent failures find their OS will still boot - in which case it is possible to "roll it back" to how it was if you are under warranty. Don't worry about rolling back the radio - if it's dead it's screwed anyway so doesn't show any trace of what
radio ROM was on it in the first place. Just get the correct OS and bootloaders back on it.
T-MOBILE UK OFFICIAL WM6 ROM WARNING
I've given T-Mobile UK a call about this one... The "official" T-Mobile UK WM6 ROM is in effect a beta and while it is on Tmobiles own site, it IS NOT officially supported by T-Mobile
(according to tech support) and was not meant for general release. Therefore should be treated with caution until more is known and researched - however technically you should be supported and can roll back the device if necessary anyway to the official Tmobile WM5 ROM for warranty (which is, at least at the moment, available on their download site).
This ROM appears to contain radio 1.50 - ONE user (Sbirsen - view post) confirms he had problem introduced with radio 1.50 which was a perfectly working vario II, he upgraded to 1.54 and down but still suffered the problems which 1.50 introduced.
Despite his very kind assurance that there is clearly no problem with radio 1.54 we do not know if his device is dead or alive as he's moved onto trying to brick a TyTN-II due to getting fed up with radio issues apparently not caused by his radio flash
Back to unsarcastic mode - I suspect by T-Mobiles response - he is not the only one and some drilling on the board here may reveal more over the next
few weeks.
This ROM may also be pulled over the next few days due to "feedback issues" - sorry no more info on that one.
IN the mean time please just be careful when selecting your radios, fault find FIRST before thinking a flash will magic up a solution, do your research *properly* and look out for warning signs.
Further update - possible resolution to try if you've having intermittent problems and a very long theory posted here
In short - My thinking is if there is a bug in this radio it will be something to do with the PIC16LF72 chip with the D/A and A/D stuff that drives and measures outputs from the phyiscal hardware radio chips (the Qualcomm ones and the Anadigics amplifiers) on the main mobo.
A small firmware bug affecting values returned from D/A and A/D measurements
This bug or whatever causes either false return values or bad data
This causes radio to work harder
This then either causes wear or heat based issues on the PIC effecting the storage area and causing bad blocks (death) or causes damage to the rest of the radio chipset (qualcomm and anadigics amps).
PS. If any tech support desk needs a bum on seat in either North-West or the South East of the UK - I am now OFFICIALLY AVAILABLE FOR HIRE as I'm officially unemployed from tomorrow morning!

For the record this phone was brand new on 17th December 2007; only been flashed once to the official T-Mobile WM6.

God they're dropping like flies! Sorry to hear about that
Bit concerning though as IIRC the TMUK rom is radio 1.50 but that's the 3rd report of someone having problems introduced by it. (will have to pull the .nhb apart and check). Cheers for the tipoff.
I fear the Hermes will soon be an endangered species - must be a marketing plan by HTC to flog the kieser
Edit :: durr - of course it's radio 1.50 - even your sig says that - I'm rebooting my braincell as I type
Yes, its the 1.50 (My signiture has correct details)
Not sure if this is worthy info; but at work one side of my building has a very low signal strength, so the radio works very hard to keep up the connection. I can tell it is as my battery can be virtually flat after, say, 6 hours!
Maybe its poor signal areas accelerating the radio deterioration?
I got 1.50, and I still have occasional issues, such as hardware buttons that stop functioning.
What other radio could possibly be safer? Maybe 1.43 or 1.47. I kind of remember they used to serve me well.

Depending where you are in the world depends what radio rom will work best for you. You CANT get better than what the network puts out as this is the maximum level. You need to tell us WHERE you are and see what anyone else from that region finds is the best radio. Each radio rom has pros and cons depending on where you are at and how your network interacts with your rom. Do some reading on the wiki to find out about issues people are having with some radios as people are losing their phone functionality and the radio roms are suspected. Happy hunting.......
Just upgraded my phone to WM6.1 and enjoying it, but I heard something about the ability to upgrade the radio rom on the phone.
I've heard that some radio roms can increase reception, but also decrease battery life and cause some calls and messages to miss.
I'm using T-Mobile USA on my Wizard. Have there been a better radio rom that doesn't cause these issues, or should I just stay with my current radio rom?
if you have no problem with your current radio i would stick with it. read lots of posts on radio upgrading. some people get great results and some have problems.
from what i have red 2,19 seems to be the most stable.
you can always test it for yourself. all the radios are availible in the ftp server including the original t mobille usa radio
Hey Duke what rom are you using?
Official Tmobile rom with WM5 and radio 2.25.11 never missed any calls for me, as soon as i went with TNT's 6.1 latest rom, i started missing calls and voicemails. Flashed to 2.71.11 radio - same, now i applied the radio cab fix from here(post #6) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317331&highlight=tmobile+Radio+ROM (per advise of mmeyer) and testing currently. If that doesnt work - will flash to 2.19 that seems to work for most US MDA Tmobile people. Just hate to go to older radio that has much worse reception than even 2.25
