Hi everyone
I have an O2 mini s whit cid unlocked and i want to change my radio version i have the 2.25.11 but i have several problem someimes i cant call sometimes i dont receive incoming calls i have read many post and i think the problem is the radio version can you please tell me how to upgrade it i dont want to brick my g4 phone thanks.
A G4 cid-locked Wizard can be flashed a radio rom through SoftSPL. Just copy the nk file to the softspl directory and run the softspl program, it will work just like upgrading the OS but it will only upgrade the radio.
Some radio options are 2.71.11 and 2.19.11.
Also, you might need the cingular radio fix if you're dropping calls.

thanks for your answer and if I have cid unlock I have the one that is 2.olip I did what wiki said is the same instructions? what do you recommend upgrading the fix.or change version thanks again for your answer.
could someone please confirm I downloaded the radio fix do I have to open it from the exe? or i have to use softspl just for the fix upgrade. and if I want to change radio version do I have to use softspl if I have unlock cid I really apreciate your answers I don't want to do the upgrade without a confirm thanks for your time.
No, updating Radio ROM does not require CID unlock. Just go ahead.
thanks again i have now cid iunlock version 2.olip and i have the cingular fix but theres two files one say install and the other CINGUL~1.000 but i press install and open a html document how do i install it thanks again
Copy the cab file into your device and run it from your device directly.

i could hack Radio rom from Cinglar,and make Flashable file.
2 of them,,Version 1.10 and 1.16 were tested on my VarioII.
i tried to upload them onto xda-FTP many times but fialed.
so i uploaded to my FTP for you guys.
instruction of upgrade also there.
Please got to get them if you interested in.

Good luck
Asukaly yours!
WTF! This is _VERY_ good news!! :shock:
How did you manage to cook the type 2 radio rom??
Is Ma_Upgrade_NoID working with the hermes bootloader?? AFAIK the bootloader lacks wdata command... (replaced by 'wdatah')
Is it that you need only rwdata but not wdata to flash radio?
An explanation of the process to create the working nbf out of the extracted .nb files would be very useful!
Thanks!!
EDIT: I uploaded the files to xda-dev FTP and make a new wiki page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Thanks for the new Radio update. Just updated my MDA Vario II. Will test if there's any improvements!
Seems to work like a charm!
ROM 1.18.255.3
ROM date: 07/22/06
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
Ext ROM 1.18.255.106
Radio 1.16.00.00
And my Bootloader remains at V1.04 :!:
(I'd have pasted a bitmap, but I couldn't figure out how!).
Major kudos to Asukal!!!!!!!
Now if we could only find a new TyTN System ROM to go along with this spiffy new radio...
super Asukal, great news!!!
about the screen alignment problem, if you have some free time, could you please translate whats is the problem and how they do to fix the screen alignment problem please
http://inuchanbt.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-86.html
thanks you so much Asukal!
I am receiving country id error : 120 while attempting to upgrade the radio from Cingular 1.31 ( radio 1.13). Even when i ran the upgrade second time device seems to go into radio update screen but just sits there and doing nothing.
then the radio updare error comes up. following the soft reset I have checked device information and radio version is still: 1.13
device is HTC TyTN, originally shipped with Italian ROM.
any ideas?
@superduper: I guess you need a 1.04 bootloader to perform the radio only rom upgrade from Asukal, but your current rom has bootloader 1.06
Let's see if anyone else with Cingular 1.31 rom can do the radio only upgrade or has the same problem you reported...
@Asukal: please give us details on how you did to extract the "radio_.nbf" from shipped Hermimg Cingular NBH file
this is super excellent. Now all we need is a rom image update then we can make our own aku 3.2 version.
Good job Asukal.

Summary to extract and convert nbh, pls wait a while.

PLS patient!
and thanks report guys!.
if no_id_upgrade can not work on Bootloader 1.06,
can u try with Hermes Upgrade.exe with this nbf?
(you must remove nbh before that, i didnt try that so i am not sure it work or not) :?
thanks a lot Asukal!!!

Is it any better?
So, a question for those of you who've done the upgrade - does it make any difference you can notice? Just wondering if it's worth doing the upgrade at the moment, or waiting for new HTC rom when it finally appears.
Tried this on a Orange M3100 with the 1.31 Cingular ROM, but it doesn work. Just sites at 0% and then you eventually get an error. Seems like you need bootloader 1.04 for this to work...
are there any improvements using these new radio roms? also, what's the difference between 1.10 and 1.16?
thanks
I wasn't having any radio problems previously, and so far, I haven't seen any issues with 1.16, either.
Bluetooth works fine, UMTS/GSM calls work fine, WLAN works fine, and UMTS data works fine...
If I see any strange behaviors, I'll be sure to point them out...

Aaaaghhh! I can't wait
Please tell me if this process is correct to create the radio_.nbf:
Code:
nbh2dbh.pl HERMIMG.nbh HERMIMG.dbh
dbhdecode.pl HERMIMG.dbh
alpinenbfdecode.pl -e ./GSM.nb radio_.nbf
My radio_.nbf and yours differ, is it because of headers?
Thanks!
Just tried the procedure on mine.
Hardware = Dopod 838Pro
ROM = imate
Upgraded to radio version 1.16, the procedure worked fine! Except that after the flashing was complete the PC displayed "upgrade failed" but after a soft reset of the PDA, it worked.
You did a great job, Asukal!!!
I can see some improvement that I can see more wireless bar on my title bar after I upgrade radio ROM.
Thsi is cingular ROM, so I don't know somebody who lives outside US can see this improvement, but I can see it in my rural US state.
In addition, as you said, I can see OS runs smoothly than my original ROM.
I was usually stuck when I run "menu" or "button" applet in control panet. But after I upgrade to Radio 1.16, I don't have it.
I don't know why, but it is real.
I appreciate your effot!!
works great, thanks..
guys who can not flash Radio
One of my friends try to flash 1.16.and faild in that.
But could flash 1.11.
then tried 1.16 again, finally he could flash 1.16.
Please try this step.<this is not to guarantee can do, just a possibility>
And i will prepare 1.13 also soon.
I have upgraded my 838pro to IPL - 1.04, SPL- 2.10 Olipro , Radio 1.43.00.00, OS is Black Majik .
Is it possible to upgrade from officially released wm06 rom from dopod (when its released), will it work, or give me problems.
I am newbie to upgrades. so i dont know technical things like hardspl etc.
Thanks
Pramod Naidu
Yes it is possible, but your SPL will be overwriten..
If you want to keep HardSPL, you need to extract the official SPL from the official ROM so it doesn`t get flashed onto your device

INCORRECT sir.
HardSPL will not allow a retail SPL to flash over it.
The RUU which HTC will no doubt supply it with will probably not detect your device correctly (since you are using a superior SPL hehe).
Copy ther nbh file contained in the update to a folder and use RUUWrapper.exe which will flash it no problem (use autodetect).
One more foolish question
Is my device super CID bec of hardspl, if not, if i make my device super cid, will it give me added benefits.

The only benefit of SuperCID is you can read/write to the ext_rom in windows mobile.....so not really a great benefit.
HardSPL reports itself as SuperCID.....but your device is NOT. Essentially your device is virtually SuperCID.
Thanks
Thanks a lot sir.

When I have gone back from a WM6 ROM to the Official (WM5) AT&T ROM I flashed the older (1.04 I wanna say?) version of HardSPL and it works fine and gets overwritten to the 1.11. Then if I go back to WM6 I just reflash HardSPL v7 and it works fine. I'm not sure if that actually does make it official, but I know based on the startup and bootloader screens, after going to the old HardSPL then using the AT&T Updater, everything says 1.11 and looks the same as it did before I started putting cooked ROMs on my phone.
What if its exe file
how do i extract the nbh from exe file.
How to extract nbh from exe
how do i extract nbh from exe to flash it to hardspl, i dont want to downgrade my spl
Use winrar.
Right click on the file and "open with winrar"
Question?

Hi mrvanx,
Just a quick question regarding your answer to Shamanix...
You said here that all he needs to do is copy the their nbh file in the update and use the RUUWrapper to flash it... Surely he needs to extract only the rom, ext rom, and radio? Then recompile to a nbh file to flash?
The original nbh file is still going to contain the spl & ipl which will cause problems not so?
Sorry if i am butting in here
Regards.

The flash will go ahead as normal but the SPL and IPL will NOT be written over.
Either that or just use the repackaged version of the official WM6 dopod ROM ive posted in the WM6 section.

hi all,
i've just bought a t-mobile vario 2
i;ve read the wiki & a few of the posts regarding upgrading
but to be honest it has so much information & sometimes the information is contradictory.. so it gets confusing
i've been using the uni for a year now
my point is
i want 2 upgrade my hermes 2 wm6
my boot screen says
herm300
IPL-1.01
SPL 1.40.Olipro
i can use a different/other sim card than t-mobile
how do i chek if my hermes is CID unlocked
and what radio i'm using & what's my bootloader number??
i try 2 read the splash screen after soft reset but the radio version goes away pretty fast
do i run POF's unlocker v3a? is it safe to run again, even if my phone is cid unlocked?
in order 2 upgrade 2 wm6
do i need to install olipros hard spl 2.10? and then run customruu?
this is what i mean by confusing?
i've upgraded my magician, uni & wizard
however they all had pretty easy/self explanatory directions?
i'm sorry for sounding like a noob, but its new territory....
thanx in advance
Is there a specific reason you want to CID the device? T-Mobile's data plan s pretty great so I have never seen the need to use another sim in my vario. You dont need to CID unlock to upgrade the rom.
As long as you have installed Olipro's spl to protect against bricking your phone it should be fairly safe to install a wm6 rom. If not, definitely install the current version of hard spl.
Once you have installed SPL, you then run the RUU.exe file that usually comes with the rom. Tha majority will have a tick box on the first page that says auto detect, which will check which version of spl you have installed and then run itself accordingly. It is best to have the current hardspl installed though.
Most of them dont touch your extended rom and only replace the OS rom contents. T-Mob's wm5 extended rom customizations wont work with wm6 anyway so you will need to go looking here for a cab file called (I Believe) tmobileukfixed.cab.
You will also need to look for newer versions of your pocket pc software as some older ones dont play nice with WM6.
Good luck, and if in doubt, read MrVanx's upgrade guide here: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/

You got it here too:

But, since it's quite old this radio comes in .nbf format and without Custom RUU.

Simlock still there
Hi
Did you reslove this? I have the same problem with a HTC HERM 300. The unlock process runs, but the rom is not updated. There are many blogs telling us that we have to get 1.16 radio version bu not:
- Where from
- how to install it
- how you get in to install/check it if the simlock is still there
Installing the unlocker tool v3a will install radio 1.16. It is part of the update process, when you downgrade your SPL to 1.40. You also downgrade your radio to 1.16.
If you are trying to unlock the xo1ht's, there has been some problems with unlocking this model, try running a search to see what is said.
Cheers...
Also to find the standalone radio rom do a search for "Hermes radio repository", use CRC's mirror as the other 2 don't work. You'll find it there.
Hello,
Just unlocked both sim and cid, and installed tnt 1933 touch flo rom, no problems on the install, expect for that my cell phone does not work.
I know I might have to update the radio rom, and anyone please explain the procedure and the file needed, read, but confused.
current:
G4
ipl 2.21.001
spl 2.21.olip
gsm 02.25.11
os 11.0.0.1
s.thakur
I just upgrade and notice the bug too. My phone works sometime, but I cant end the call! and some sms are not being rec'd.
TNT.1933 is known to have problems for some Radio ROMs.
Either choose other ROM or try other Radio ROMs until the problem goes away (There is no recommended radio version because it depends on your carrier)
For what I know, this is link to the newest Radio ROM available (2.71.11).
In the thread it's written it is g4 safe.
So I think you can flash it to your device plain and simple.
But I am not pretty sure if you need to use the RUU provided or the Mun's RUU from the Hard SPL thread...
EDIT:
I have flawlessy performed Radio upgrade to 2.71.11
I can now confirm it's g4 safe... just start the romupdateutility and follow the instructions...
No need to change RUU from the one included in rar archive for my G4 HardSPL.
