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.

Thanks to the person who uploaded the Shipped radio to XDA-Dev ftp
Radio version 1.27.00.00 is available for the Hermes!
This radio has HTC_BOOT 0107, so it is "safe" to upgrade. We have it in two flavours:
Shipped upgrade (signed NBH file) containing only the radio, valid for:
HERM300 T-Mobile devices with CID starting with "T-MOB1"
SuperCID devices
NOTE: SuperCID (unlocked) devices with HTC_BOOT 0108 (for example SoftBank X01HT post Dec-2nd) must use bootloader SPL-1.09 to flash this radio!
Download: RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe
Extracted upgrade (NBF file) valid for:
Hermes devices with bootloader 1.04 and HTC_BOOT (radio bootloader) version 0107.
Remember:
- 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.
Download:
HERM_1.27.00.00_type2_radio.zip
For more information see the extracted radio wiki page and information about radio ROMs.
As always, upgrade at your own risk!
Enjoy!
waho!! i feel that a new os rom is near!
tanx pof! the Radio on Hermes is now 1.27
Any ideas on what has changed from the Cingular shipped rom?
Legolas
Upgraded. Now to see what is different.
Upgraded and testing now.
Thanks!
Thanks POF. This has improved my reception a bit. Gonna test this in other sports that I had spotty reception and see if this makes it better.
Testing on the new Radio ROM...
Does anyone knows if the Wi-Fi is related somehow to the Radio ROM? My old wizard somehow has a better reception.
I understand this version does not contains the GPS support.
Currently I will wait with that.

I don't believe in official support.
Trinity users also don't get GPS from their providers but can happily use the GPS.

Just flashed the top file and worked like a charm.
I'm using the South African ROM with BL 1.09.

This ROM got a lot of problems regarding GSM Data Calls (like 1.21.31.10 ROM). I switched back to 1.20.31.10.

The probles is this, posted by myself in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291297:
- 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!).

It's very easy to check. Seems to be a stability problem.

1.27 seems to be BETA release.

Good day mate.
Hey All,
First of all this is a great site. Just got my Jas Jas a week ago and im in love with this place.
Any way enuf ego inflating.
--------
I thought that i would upgrade the radio version because there were reports that this would improve my UMTS / HSDPA reception.
It didn't here are my results.
1.34.00.10 Download (1st try)
Tried this one first as i thought the latest might have been buggy. Flashed nicly but the reception defaulted to GSM. Only worked on UMTS when i changed the band to 2100 rather than 850. And then the reception was 2 bars compared to the 100% i usually get.
1.27.00.00 Download (2nd try)
Tried this one next as its the reccomneded "stable" version.
Still go the same results.
1.20.31.10 (Orignal Shipped rom)'
Ended up returning to this rom to get functionality and worked no issues.
Was just wondering if any other AU ppl had these issues ?
And what is the chosen ROM of choice in AU.
I am still plucking up the courage to flash to XDA-Live but if i do my radio should not change because the install does not include a radio, correct.
And one last ? if i o upload to XDA-L does the extrom stay the same and will my unit grab all the op settings that are in the EXT Rom or do i have to load then with a cab that i can grab out of the ship rom?
Hope the post wasn't to long,
Thanks
Hi Shaun,
I suggest you have a read through the threads and the Wiki, you'll find most of your answers are in there. XDA Live does not contain a Radio ROM so will not affect that side of things. Personally I recommend putting in your provider settings manually, as that way you know nothing will stuff up due to any funny files in the CAB!
I suggest you try the new radio ROMs again when you're running WM6, perhaps you've got issues with the icons displaying incorrectly depending on your radio version. Personally I'm using 1.35 without issue, and its been better than anything else, but then again I'm not with a provider who prides itself on making its own stupid frequency decisions just to be awkward
Cheers
Kevin

im using the trinity radio 1.35.00.11 with NextG and also Vodafone and the HSDPA reception is awesome...
what ROM version are you using now??
xda-live does not flash the extended ROM... so you can use HTweakC to unlock it and use the cabs.....
I use Blackberry so my device is connected via UMTS on Telstra all the time. I had upgraded to 1.35 radio because of the reports of it's increased reception.
Well the battery drained in about 5 hours so I am reverting back to the original rom which gave me 24-36 hours battery life with UMTS active.

Thanks for the response guys. Ive read the wiki and have taken it in, just wanted to check.
I have now reverted back to the orignal radio rom that was shipped with the unit which is 1.20.31.10. Its a pain i am with telstra but there is nothing you can do when the company has 30od services with them.
Was going to load the trinity mod but does this mean that i need to super CID the device. As i got a country ID. This means i will void the warrenty. Is there a way that i can do it without the super CID.
Err... the Trinity radio version in the Wiki (which I hope you're getting from the Hermes Radio Rom wiki page and not the Trinity page!) is bundled with SSPL which means you don't have to worry about CID.

yes you need to run SSPL on your device before you run the update....

.. but because the 1.35.00.11 radio only package from the Wiki is already bundled with the modified RUU updater which pushes SSPL to the device automatically, he'll only need to run the ROMUpgradeUt.exe
Edit: Actually with the 1.35.00.11 package, you don't even need to do that - just run the .exe you download from the Wiki and follow the prompts! What could be easier!

Ah, makes sense then .
Shaun, you can either download the modified RUU Updater, or just download the 1.35.00.11 Radio ROM with RUU/SSPL updater integrated.
Thanks guys i thought that that rom was not the trinity one. Then one that i got was from the ftp .
Now i got that one which does have the RUU/SSPL updater integrated.
Thanks guys.
Just flasshed with the 1.35 Rom and it seams that its got Less reception than before. Onlyt by a bar and this in my current location. I have set the abnd to auto and will see how it goes will update ina day or 2.
Are there any XDA forum members from Canada using Rogers Wireless in the Toronto Area with their Wizard G4?
I am using WM6 MB Edition and seem to be having problems with my current Radio. ie. Missed Calls, Missed or delayed Voice Messages, Missed or delayed TXT (SMS) Messages, etc.
I had tried using 2.61.11 Radio when I had the Underground Edition of WM6 installed, but it seemed to have made things worse, so I reverted back to the original 2.25.11 version that I'm currently using. I had mistakenly hoped things would get better if I installed the MB (Most Beautiful) edition of WM6 but it has made any difference. Although I do like the MB Edition of WM6 better than Underground Edition of WM6.
What to do... What to do...
C'mon people, isn't there anyone in these Forums that is using Rogers? I need some help here! Thank you!
I'm using the radio 02.25.11 with Faria's latest rom and I get great reception in Vancouver with no problems. I know I'm not in the GTA but you can try Faria's and see if it helps
It would seem that the general consensus is that for most WM6 romsone should stick with 2.19.11 .. I read that on this forum today ...
You can get 2.19 from the xda ftp site, or www.ppctuning.org ( Radio only ROMs) ... I regulaqrly use theirs and they always flash my CIDlocked G4 like a charm ..
I'm not with Rogers, not in Canada, and use the new Faria WM6 {real thing} ROM with 2.61.11 but abov e is what I read about the other ROMS -
As ever, YMMV ...
Thanks radiotrib! I've just installed (downgraded to) the 2.19.11 Radio ROM, lets hope is works ok!!! My fingers are crossed!

Well it looks like 2.25 isn't working in a reliable manner. Will be flashing to 2.19.
I tried almost all and 1.09.11 works best for me on Rogers.

Alright so now I'm using 2.40.11 radio on my core2n WM6 wizard. For the past week this has been very reliable.
After I did flash my Qtek 9100, with Faria WM6, I had some trouble with missed calls and stuff.. (Using Radio ROM 02.61)
Now im going to try 02.19
I am on Fido (AKA, Rogers) and my Talk time really, really sucks!
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions which radio I could try to extend my battery life?
Also, does anyone know where I can download radio only ROMs?

I currently have 02.07.10 and am experiencing problems with people calling and going direct to vm when i have 1 bar.
Also when I try to make calls with 1 bar it doesnt tend to connect/terminates the call.
Also can someone please point me in the right direction for the upgrade guide.
Thanks
Rom version 2.21.4.1 WWE
Rom date 3/9/06
Radio version 02.07.10

ExtROM version 2.21.4.101
Is no-one genuinely able to help me or am I asking the wrong questions?
I'm just putting a suggestion out there try searching for *radio rom* in the search this forum tab and browse through the prior posts, I started with 2.25 and have found that the performance of 2.69.11 is preety good, but i have also found others say that 2.19 is the most stable, but you will definately come to find out that radios are more of a trial and error, similar to what OS rom will work best for you, so try a couple and u be the judge performance wise, anyone else?
thanks ezitec, what network are you on out of curiosity?
ps i did searched and not found any specific mention of orange uk thats not to say i didnt miss it though lol
I have no idea about the radio versions. I am using the O2 sim card with my G4 Wizzard (O2 Mini S).
Anyone knows if it is safe to flash either the ExtRom or Radio rom to my CID Locked G4? Thanks
btw, i think my radio works just about fine, neither very good nor very bad.
If there is any issue on flashing the radio to my CID locked G4. Then I will just leave it.
But last time, I did flash the radio rom and Ext rom first before I flash the wm6. I suppose that it is safe to only flash these 2 roms, am I right?

OK but this thread is about which rom is best for Orange users. I must say I'm an Orange user using 02.07.10 and WM6 and haven't experienced enough in the way of problems to make me think about upgrading the radio but I tend to be in areas of good signal. I guess maybe it's an issue of which rom will pick up in low signal situations rather than specific networks?

At the moment, I'm trialing 1.56.70.11 - however I've noticed a few issues when dialing numbers. I'm not sure if it's the Radio version or the Optus network being retarded... I used to use 1.48.00.10 and this worked fine.
Usually takes a month or so to properly test a radio rom though
If you check the Hermes Wiki here there is already an archive of the radios.
Good work nonetheless.

I know this is probably a dumb question but i'm gonna ask it anyway. I am in the uk on 02... is there a particular one i should use... if not.. what is the difference between them all?
I am trying to learn but i find this radio thing very confusing
Radio is to improved your cell network, if u'r using hermes you'll see it in setting > system > device information. if you dont find any trouble in your shiped radio than it ok, but if you think the batteery drains to fast or the signal quality is to low, than may be you should try diffrent radio.
What Radio Rom should i use?
Hi,
I have flashed my rom to CRC's 13.1-pre 7. It works like a dream. I am in Australia and my provider is 3. My current Radio Rom is: 1.47.30.10.
It seems to work all ok but my battery life is average and 3's coverage is average in some areas.
Any recommendations?
Andrew
For some reason the only radio that worked for me is 1.16 I am smack-dab in the middle of the US. All the other radios kept freezing phone in the middle of a phone call, especially when I had my bluetooth headset connected (Jawbone) from 1.27 the the latest. Funny thing is that 1.16 always shows a G instead of an E in taskbar but is connected at edge speed.
Just thought I wuld throw that out there. Using CRC 13.0 Rom. By the way great job CRC for throwin these radio packs together.
Thanks, - Philux-X

Radio Rom for Hermes
Hi CRCin AU,
What have you found to be the best Radio Rom for here in Australia?
Im also from Australia and are wondering what is radio is best, im on the Optus network.
I use 1.56.70.11 and don't seem to have any dramas on the Optus network in Australia. Give it a go and see how it works for you.
