i haven't met any problems till now.. i wanna know if it's possible for me to downgrade my radio to 1.47 or 1.38?
I'm no expert, but I went from 1.54.30.10 to the official 1.54.07.00. Never tried going lower.

Yes, u can down grade to a lower radio version, it's done quite often (assuming u have hardspl).
Thanks a lot~
I'll downgrade my Radio as soon as I finished this semester~
By the way...
Are there any serious problem( known as bricked your Hermes) if i continue to using this 1.54.30.10 Radio?
i mean if it necessary for me to downgrade my Radio?
No hard evidence, but 1.5+ radios are suspected for causing problems - read details HERE and HERE
I start experiencing problems similar to described in the above threads, so just downgareded to 1.43
Cheers
not having any major issues with this radio ROM, been on the radio for more or less 3 weeks (touch wood! ) .. am on Celcom Malaysia 3G (UMTS 2100)
Similar problems here. Downgraded, but it may be too late,had numerous connection problems and slow 3G on tmobile.
Forget radio 1.54.xxxxx
From my experience - flashing radio 1.54 can brick your phone , lost CID and sspl .

Bad plan get rid of it now.
Use this one: ftp://xda:[email protected]/HERM_Radio_Only_1.48.00.10_CustomRUU.rar
it's not worth the risk of waiting.... you've been lucky so far. Current thought is that the 1.5x series ROMs drive the radio chip too hard and it overheats to extinction. First signs are drops and erratic radio performance. If you wait until you already got it you prob waited too long. But if you do get those symptoms before you reflash, then pull the battery immediately and (OK this might sound weird but it worked for a friend of mine) put the phone & the battery in a zip lock baggy and put it in the freezer while you get that radio rom I pointed at above ready.
When ready, put it back together and immediately flash the Radio with the 1.48 version. After it resets and does it's business.... reflash the 1.48 again.
Hopefully you will never see the problem again, if that didn't work then you may as well try calling your provider to see if they will replace the phone.
I've downgraded my radio to 1.48 about 1 month ago..
i'll show my grateful to u, thanks a lot!
radio 1.54.30.10 is working perfect on Orange Israel ,Kiyevstar Ukrain, MTC Moscow , and other Europe countries that i visited , this radio is the best i tried

So far so good .. nothing bad happen yet .. notice that my CELCOM 3G signal getting better ...
Same here, I have a better signal and connects to 3G faster than AT&T's radio 1.54.07.00, and I am on the AT&T Network
just to add to the the list of "satisfied customers" ..no problem whatsoever with my provider (UMTS 2100/GSM 900+1800)..
best downgrade and how to obtain it
I'm also experiencing similar problems. I have been running 1.54.07.00 for about 3 months and steadily experiencing more drop-outs on the phone service. I've ready different treads and some people have downgraded to 1.48 and other to 1.43. Is either one a better choice? And, sorry to ask a basic question, but where to I download the downgrade. I searched, but to no avail.
Hermes 100
Rom Version 3.62.502.3

I've been using this Radio on my Vario II since it showed up here (2 months maybe) and nothing happened. Signal strength is still the same. For me personally it's the best Radio I've been using so far. I'd be a pity having to downgrade now...

I've had the 'false roaming' icon on for a few weeks now in addition to a 'no signal' scare for a few hours. I'm thinking of just downgrading to the 1.43 radio that originally shipped with the WM5 AT&T ROM.

Last week I updated my Radio to 1.48.
A few days ago I started doing tests by calling my PDA from my home number (testing the callerID function of Slide2Unlock) and realized that almost all calls would ring and then go to voicemail without my mobile ringing. Looking into it more and talking to people that call me on a regular basis, I realized that I am getting a lot of missed calls on my phone.
I reverted back to 1.47 and did the same tests with the same number of missed calls.
Going back to 1.43, my mobile now rings on the first ring, every time.
Seems like 1.43 is the better Radio for Rogers (Toronto)
I don't think it is only Rogers.
I was running 1.47 for a while ... a lot of network disconnects, so I thought the upgrade to 1.48 would make it better ... it made it worse, WAY worse. I am now back on 1.43 with no problems at all
1.48 perfect for me with FIDO. (or rogers if you want to be technical). It is not the Radio. I have been testing various ROMs. Some work better than others with the radios. I find those ROMs what were cooked with the PTT removed has issues.....
If I use ROMs that were originally without the PTT, I experience no issues what so ever with 1.48.
maybe you can get walshieu to give you 1.49 ?

Hello Landyman,
As you know there is a problem in SA on all the radio ROM versions.
Leaf are aware of it as it is network related.
They will shortly be releasing a WM5 and WM6 version with a new radio specific to our network.
At present it is on test with the networks.

I recently switched to the Sleuth Developer v3 ROM, does it fit the above category? I can always revert bach to the Schaps 3.57a ROM and try 1.48 again...

You mentioned it in another thread as well, IIRC.
From my experience, with our current situation, 1.43 works best (for me in any case)
I used 1.48 for about a week, had problems with reestablishing connections and some missed calls. Switched back to 1.47 with no issues. The Radio that rogers came out with for there system is 1.42, unfortunatly there is no update for this Radio until there is an update from Rogers. The only way to get it is to buy the phone from Rogers. And before it is asked it can't be dumped.
Same problem,

Would you recommend 1.47? I used it for a short while and it seemed OK. Did not test it as thoroughly as 1.48.
BTW, thank you for yor Rogers settings cab. Just found it yesterday and it saved me a lot of manual setting up.
As much as I am sorry others were having this problem, I'm glad I'm not the only one! After trying both 1.47 and 1.48 and missing calls to the point that my wife thought I was ignoring her, I finally went back to 1.43 and have been golden. Soooo.... you're not the only one.

I too missed about 6 calls today with 1.47, I am going back to 1.43, That Radio with Rogers has always been reliable.
Yes.
3.57a seems to be no issue for me.

In Montreal area,I tried 1.47 few days ago, often i had to dial twice to make a call, and the earpiece volume is lower than others. then change to 1.43, i missed many calls, but phone was ON, with reception, but all calls went to VM. then i changed it back to 1.41 yesterday. everything back to what a PHONE should be. sometimes, simpler is better...
With Fido using a 8525 with BB connect in Calgary. I was until recently, using the last wm5 ATT ROM which worked with BB connect. Missed calls with 1.48, so went back to 1.43. Now with vp3g wm6 BB connect version, decided to try 1.48 and the same missed calls issue. Back to 1.43 and everything is fine.
I noted this problem back on the 12th of July and was told by numerous members of this community I was crazy, "the radio's wouldn't have been released if it had this problem".

Now there's several threads popping up with users finally noticing this problem.. One person has suggested those suffering with this issue have older SIM cards - which I do - so maybe this is the problem? (Don't see how, but whatever, worth noting the age of my card.)
My Sim is at least 3 years old now... I'll play with a newer sim when I get a chance and report back.
I also had issues with 1.48 missing calls and losing signal for long periods of time while driving through bad coverage areas. Switched back to 1.40.30.00 and all is well now, receive all calls and when i drive through bad coverage area quickly reacquires signal

My SIM card is about 4 months old - definitely not an issue with an old card.
I wish I had noticed your earlier posts on the topic, I would never have upgraded to 1.47 or 1.48 if I had.
Do you have one of the "newer" HSDPA SIMs? I'm not sure if much has changed in the SIMs from older gen to newer gen - but I haven't noticed the dropped call issue with 1.48 and Schaps latest ROM.

Yes, I have the new HSDPA sim. Have not tried 1.48 with Schaps latest (installed it today) but am hessitant to upgrade the radio in case it does not work. I am back at work now and cannot afford any missed calls.
UPDATE: Installed 1.48 and tested - even though my phone immediately detected a 3G network (does not do it with 1.43) upon calling myself, 2 out of the 3 calls resulted in a missed call. Reverting back to 1.43.
UPDATE2: Reverted back to 1.43 and tested. My phone did not immediately register the network as 3G but all calls (3) rang to my phone on first ring.

Thanks !! downloading now ..
Any news about it? 148 works great but always want to try something new
I am getting 3G signal almost all the time as before it was better then 141...148....will test all day tommorrow in differant spots where I usualy loose signals.
Thank you. Seems OK so far... How come this is only a GSM upgrade?
*EDIT* I don't notice any difference in reception between 1.50, 1.48, and 1.40.30... I'll have to see about battery differences.
Thanks pof
Flashed it and will see how it goes.
thanks pof,just flashing it.

I believe it means that it is just radio? At least I got UMTS reception as well.

Can't receive calls,
China mainland.
Here in the Netherlands this version is working perfect. Get nice HSDPA connection. Wifi is working with WPA security.
All calls come in, only not when HSDPA connection is active. Had this problem also with previous versions 1.47 and earlier.
Hope it's also working fine for you too....
Anyone in Toronto try this yet? Have been having problems with radio's after 1.43 and missed calls with Rogers. Hopefully 1.50 resolves this issue.
I will not be able to test this myself until late today and will post results once done.
Quick question: Anyone know the origin of this release? Did it come from a specific carrier, as most do?
Thanks.

Same thing here in Italy with TIM phone company.
I think that the HDSPA problem is not a radio software fault, if i try to call my Tytn while i am on an HDSPA session, the tone from the phone company is not "free" or "busy", it is the one they use when a number is wrong or the line is absent or broken.
I will check the battery usage too.

Silly question, If it is a GSM only upgrade, it wouldnt effect HDSPA?
I've just upgraded my Vodafone 1605 to WM6 successfully, and updated my radio version. The problem I'm faced with now is that my device hunts for signal whenever I'm indoors and simply wont find one until I go outside.
Does anybody have any suggestions or fixes for this? I've tried various radio versions and I'm currently on 1.43.00.00 with the same issues.
Phone details:
ROM version - 3.54.255.3
Radio Version - 1.43.00.00
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Thanks in advance.
This is almost certainly the Radio Upgrade - newer doesn't always mean better because they are often released optimised to a specific carrier.
Try 1.48 or 1.38 (I find 1.38 works well in most parts of the world).
Could you please link to either one of those upgrades?
I'm literally tearing my hair out here and can't find them - Thanks for your understanding.

Okay, I've just updated to radio version 1.48 and I'm still getting no signal....
Any ideas guys? I'm getting ready to chuck this phone against a wall...
I had really bad reception until I used 1.54.07.00 radio from ATT rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334697
I've already tried that ROM and still the same thing...
I'm wondering if it's a problem with this windows install....?
Okay, another update on this...I've tried 1.54.07.00 radio from ATT again (so that's my current ROM) and I'm still getting no signal.
When the SIM is in my old Sony Ericsson it works fine...so it's definately not network coverage issues.
So far the ROMS i've tried are:
1.38
1.43
1.48
1.54
None of them have meant I get coverage in this room, where I used to be able to get it no problem before with my old Hermes. (This one was sent as an exchange from Vodafone due to my last one having screen issues).
Plllleeaaassseee help
Yet another update.
I've just done the following in an attempt to remedy the situation:
Unlocked the phone to take and SIM.
Flashed the Radio to 1.48 ROM.
Flashed the phone to Windows mobile 6 HTC release.
Still...no signal.
Is this now a hardware issue?
Is your SIM card old? There are some reports of some older cards not working too well when using the 3G, HEDGE or EDGE networks.
Try setting your phone to GSM only just to test this - otherwise I'm at a loss.
hmm same here affter a wm6 upgrade.
Noticed that my orange simcard does get reception indoors though!!
outdoors my vodafone gets reception (not always, but it does get gsm gprs connection) but indoors my vodafone prepaid card gets no reception at all..
Downgraded to the wm5 rom and 1.27 radio but still this problem stays.
On the choice of network providers i dont see the dutch vodafone activated? (unticked) it does find and see it but wont get on it.
After schaps 4.01 rom i noticed that with -g3 connection always on- vodafone did get connection but only on 3g (umts), as soon as i click on gsm only instead of automatic all signal strength is gone again.
I am now on the orginal wm5 rom and radio 1.27 but still no vodafone? is there blacklisting of any sorts by the poviders? My vodafone simcard is brandnew!
Please help
hmm
Seems it is a blocked imei. been reading a bit on this forum and something similar happened to another member..
Vodafone works for a while but then it crashes and you wont get contact with kpn vodafone tmobile anymore. only orange seems to work ok.
Must be a nicked phone. weird.. almost 100% sure that the phone isnt nicked.
Where can i check if an imei is reported stolen?
UPDATE: strangly enuff the tytn now works again with my vodafone sim, but only on 3G? .. also i checked and the phone workes great on orange and t-mobile, kpn it does not recognize.. but why did it start to work again on vodafone?
For those wanting to upgrade only their radio I have uploaded the following RUU packages:
Radio 1.02.25.31 (Cingular)
Radio 1.02.25.19 (HTC)
Radio 1.02.25.11 (HTC)
Radio 1.01.25.16 (Cingular)
Each of the packages already contains an ROM updater which does not erase your phone, so your operating system and settings will remain intact.
Note: You need to have HardSPL before attempting to flash these!
Remember that flashing anything on your phone is always at your own risk.
I have updated my HTC Touch Pro to from Radio 1.02.25.19 to Radio 1.02.25.31 without any problems.
Update 1: Added Cingular Radio 1.01.25.16
THANK YOU now i try in my diamond
Do these radios work also on Diamond ?
They will not flash in your Diamond if your Diamond radio is security locked.
I would advise against flashing Raphael radio's in your Diamond, there is no reason to.
It could work because the chipset is the same, but why take the chance to brick your phone by flashing a radio which is not meant for it.
Do you see any improvement with .31 radio?
Tested it for about an hour or so now.
Can't say I noticed any difference, but I only tested it around the house. Reception around here is generally very bad and it seems to hold up nicely, so its definitely not worse then the previous radio.
GPRS, EDGE and HSPDA seem to work fine.
What about the Cingular one..? Anyone try this in the US to see if the 3g is now present..?
i flashed my touch pro with .31 and it went perfectly. In fact my US AT&T shows G. Not sure if that is the same as 3G but i am also at work where i have bad reception so that may play into it
as with the roms thread, the info is in the wiki pages already.
Although do keep discussion on the radio performance open
3g radio work in North America?
I bought the Diamond in the UK and haven't gotten anything but EDGE. Will any of the RADIO updates address this or is it a hardware problem ?

My TyTN II would show 3G most of the time in the Chicago area. It would switch to H whenever it was downloading. That's the ONLY THING I miss having now that I got the TP...Edge is too terribly slow to do anything but update the weather and my RSS feeds off hours (like at 3AM).

Can canadians use these 3g radio updates? I have a UK phone and i'm only getting EDGE right now
So what was decided about Diamond radios? I know the discussion was started but was there a conclusion? I like the radio on my diamond much better than .19 on the Pro.

Okay, so I'm on the T-Mobile USA network. I've had a Dash 3G for a long time, and I've recently picked up an HD2. My Dash 3G gets full bars in my house, no matter where I am. But when I put the SIM card in the HD2, I'm lucky if I get any service at all. If I so much as LOOK at it the wrong way, the signal dies completely.
Is there a definitive way of increasing the antenna reception, or is the HD2 just like this all the time? Or is it just my phone? Is there a specific radio people have tried that have improved reception (I'm in Utah, if that makes a difference)?
Sorry, I'm still way new to all this flashing and stuff.
Hi,
I've noticed that with the HD2, antenna reception in my area was very poor until I upgraded the radio to 2.14... Then again, I mainly use the phone with Android and not WinMo. I suggest trying to upgrade the ROM (Stock if you don't wanna mess with HSPL) through the normal channels (HTC upgrade or Tmous upgrades) and seeing if that works for you. Otherwise if you're feeling adventurous, there are tons of guides to flash HardSPL which permits you to upgrade your radio only.

Excellent, thank you for this.
I have one other question, though -- What's the difference between the sections in that radio thread? We've got 2.xx stuff, and then we've got 15.xx stuff. Can I flash one each at a time, or only one?
