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
Protocol version 413.1.03
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?
If you are a cingular user
Click Herer
If you are a T-Mobile user

there you will find other users opinions on all the radios. Here also you will find links to all the radios, a cab fix that helps with the missed call issue. Everything you need concerning your radio are in those threads.

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?

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?
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!
For those that are interested, here is the thread that radiotrib was talking about...

Just flashed to xplore 2 WM6, and am currently using t-mobile 02.25.11. So far so good. Might be too soon to tell.

I spoke too soon
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 have not checked any of the others, if people have used them and they are built please contact me and I shall update this accordingly.
Please can someone update the Wiki for the UK ROM, thanks.

If there are anymore T-Mobile Shipped ROMS I have not mentioned please msg me and I will update accordingly.
Any chance of this thread being sticked?
Thanks, I think this is very helpfull.
Great! Always usefull when you need to restore your device
Has anyone tested if any of these ROMs flash properly.. for me it would be the Dutchversion then... But I can not test right now can not have my phone broken down. Once Kaizer is out I am going to buy that one and then I could test, but would be nice to know if these dumped ROMs work
Unfortunately I do not know, I haven't even tested the UK version as I am not sure if it will work, however I did update the RUU.
Shame we cannot emulate the firmware install!
The T-Mob UK dumped ROM isn't quite right - the w'n'w home page doesn't work properly.
Minor thing but, one of the first things I tested
I dumped my friends ROM the other day. I'm currently working on building it and testing it - will let you know when it's done
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Hmmm...humble pie - lovely
Well, after flashing the ROM i dumped the other day, I had exactly the same thing with IE.
It took me about 3 seconds to realise it must be because the extROM had been flashed by one of the WM6 ROMs I had been using in the past.
As it turns out, this is the case so I can confirm that if you have the same issue, download the extROM dumo from the wiki (from this page) and delete the current contents of your extROM and copy the downloaded one back to it. Hard reset, and voila - everything back the way T-Mobile shipped (apart from Radio ROM, IPL\SPL etc...) but WTH ;-)

Trapper,
I assume you mean how can you put the correct Extended ROM onto your device? If I understand this correctly, the ROMs mentioned in Jygar's first post are the original main ROM but the Extended ROM is in fact from a Windows Mobile 6 ROM (I do not believe that flashing a ROM will affect the Extended ROM - the problem is that the re-flashed (downgraded) WM5 ROM is starting the Extended ROM installation after the basic OS install (as normal) but that Extended ROM is still a WM6 one.
The page that is linked to includes many Extended ROMs from many countries and devices - one of them an original T-Mobile ROM (here) and if you were to unlock/unhide and mount your Extended ROM you would be able to delete the incorrect (WM6) ones and then paste in these original Extended ROM files.
The Extended ROM files are executed during a hard reset after the OS has been installed - details of how this works are within this forum. I am not sure that you need to do a hard reset but it all depends on whether you stopped the device completing a normal (complete) install. After a hard reset the device will start to execute the Extended ROM files/.cabs and if you stop that with a soft reset as soon as it starts then the device will re-boot with a basic WM build (with no service provider fixes/updates/customisations/settings)
If this is all explaining what you already know then sorry but your question posted is rather open... Hope this helps

@tony.wheeler - What was the original radio version of your Vario II? I'm in the process of creating a complete upgrade to restore UK MDA Vario II's to their 'out of the box' state with the original ROMs (IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, OS, Radio ExtROM)

eek, think it was 1.03?
[edit]Have done a search it appears it is 1.05!
only problem is this is HTC_BOOT 0106 and most ppl are now patched to 0108 so I would have thought we cannot downgrade our radio rom.
TBH 1.43 is the best radio rom out and i cannot say a bad word against it. I have only eva updated my radio rom and since the radio update have not had a problem with the origional t-mob os.
Hehe, yeah i found out it was 1.05 as well. Oh well, I'll use 1.07 in my NBH. I now have a complete ROM backup (IPL, SPL, GSM, OS, MainSplash, SubSplash, ExtROM) to revert back to should anything ever happen which means I would need to claim on the warranty.

I keep loosing connection with the 1.50 that came with the WM6 test ROM, and also falling down to GSM even though I'm in a good 3G reception area.
Didn't seem to notice these problems before. I was running Radio 1.48 onto of the old radio.

I too am running with Radio 1.50, after a short-lived update to WM6. I have had no problems at all with 2g or 3g, steady as a rock.
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.

****MOD EDIT**** DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH ANY RADIO FROM THE FUZE/RAPHAEL/TOUCH PRO/TOUCH HD OR DIAMOND ON ANY OLDER DEVICE SUCH AS THE KASIER/TILT/HERMES/ETC... IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE PERMANENTLY UNLESS YOU OWN & KNOW JTAG.
I take no responsability or will be held liable over anything going wrong, so to make things clear "you flash these ROMs at your own risk!"
A bit of info, for those not familiar with the whole process.
Before flashing any radio to your device,
Please make sure your device has HardSPL by OliNex.
Flashing a new Radio ROM using CustomRUU, doesn't hard reset your device... But, if you are novice at the whole process, I would consider backing up your data anyway, just incase.
The same rules apply flashing a radio as they do a ROM, your device needs to have a battery charged to 50% or over.
Make sure when you flashing radio's, you use the one that works best for you, a radio that performs well for one person may not nescessarily work good for you.
Read the thread first before asking "trouble shooting" questions, they may have been answered already.
----------------------------------------------------- Diamond Radio's --------------------------------------------------------------
It is possible to flash Diamond Radio's, on the Raphael.
Before it's possible to so however, your device needs to be Security Unlocked which, you can get information about here.
The Diamond Radio Thread
Information on editing the Diamond radio to work on your Raphael is here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll say my thanks now to those who make the radio's available, obtaining, extracting etc... and to those who make the tools that allow us to do this.
Last but not least to Jcespi2005 for helping me out with this thread.
Please let me know if there is something you'd like me to include and of course let me know about the radio's and I'll update the thread accordingly.

If you want to use VOIP on yor device you will need a corresponding Rillphone for your Radio.

Wiki,ok it is handy,altough i also think it is handy to have a radio tread...on the wiki i cannot do a reply of how good or bad a version of a radio is.

Very true, but without prejudice and in my defence, other's will find this usfull as already expressed by members in other threads in the Raph forum regarding the issue. You only have to look at how successful the "Ultimate Radio Thread" over in the Kaiser forum is, a lot of people dont go anywhere near the Wiki and this brings the "One stop shop" right to the front. Also with a thread like this, the opening of other "threads per radio" gets reduced?

Nothing wrong with the wiki but ppl can fins usefull a thread to talk about all radio ROMs and post the self experienceds with all of this so the rest ppl can see what radio can be better... wiki is really good information, but one thread with all radio ROM information to allow ppl ask for anyone compared with anyone can be usefull... i think...
The wiki can be edited by anyone, but is not so dinamic like a thread, and ppl can't ask or share experiences in the wiki...
This can be like the one started by Alltheway in Kaiser forum, just a thread with all Touch Pro radio ROM information.

I absolutely agree with jcespi2005. The wiki is great but it is for "hard facts" which apply to everyone. As for radio-roms every radio has its advantages and they also depend largely on your personal phone-provider and your personal settings. So it think the wiki and this thread are both very useful and i wouldn't like to miss any of them.
As for the real purpose of this thread:
I have tested three radios so far: 1.02.25.28, 1.02.25.31 and 1.02.25.32.
For me .32 is the best. It seems to have a better 3g reception and in every other way to be as good as ver .28.

How is GPS for you in .32? Seemed to be worse then in .28 for me... much worse.
Didn't have a chance to test gps yet but hopefully tomorrow I will!

Thats what my question was going to be, .28 is a lot better for me than .19 was (btw im in the UK) and i dont seem to have much of a lag problem with GPS that others experience, incidentley does anyone else that has the TP from Vodafone UK share my "Not too bad" experience with GPS performance with the .28 radio.
Still on .28 here,maybey tomorrow i gonna test out .32 (also test gps with.32),at this moment .28 is much better as .19 (my original radio).
First i have to tweak and install progams again on my pro,just flashed the new RomeOS 1.20

Completely agree! vodafone TP with .28. Might leave .32 for a bit though.
...btw I understand that reception is relative to the version AND local cell provider but...
GPS IS NOT
...GPS reception is not relevant the country, provider or anything such!
if a radio has better GPS reception in Uganda, it probably has better reception in Alaska and Paris too
...and please people if possible when you test a radio and decide it is better or worse, do test GPS too (I know it can be difficult some times - but if you have a stable path to/from work, it's not that hard, you can see differences in a day)

Yes, i agree, GPS is not related to cell provider or country, but the software used to show your map possition and guide trough are related, so perhaps is a good idea to place the GPS software version used to test and map version too. This can help to understand the issue GPS overall for a radio version...
BTW, .32 is slight better than .28 for me using TomTom 7.451 and 7.25 Iberia Map... haven't tested iGo8, but i'll do it later.
Cheers
Well from my experience between the other radio's available at the minute (excluding .32) .28 is by far the best from the tests if done, I've still got my Kaiser and I get both side-by-side and test the new radio's for fix, accuracy etc...
In my job,it involves a lot of driving in the Derbyshire country side in the UK, a lot of winding roads and .28 seem's to be the best, but what i was trying to suggest in my last post, is maybe there's something in the Original Vodafone UK ROM, settings and the like, that maybe the reason why users of the stock vodafone ROM, don't display the same sort of GPS problems, or experince them less, that other users experince?

Would be a good idea to have a dump of this vodafone UK stock ROM to take a look

I think you may already have it, you've made a reconstructed one over on your "How to Reconstruct a Raphael Dumped ROM & Reconstructed ROMs" thread.
I can make a fresh dump if you prefer though.
