We need a newer and better radio for the Athena. Currently using the 1.57 and it is ok, but my kaiser (which has many choices for radio) always gets a better GSM and Wcdma signal than the Athena.
I believe the 1.57 is a x7510 radio. I wonder when they actually are released, will they ship with a better radio or will more be available once the carriers get them?
The kaiser seems to be able to use radio from several devices. Does anyone know if there are any newer Athena radios in the future?
1.57 is the best now.
Can we put 1.57 in an old X7500 (with currently 1.38) ?

I cannot find a link for download 1.57, could you post please....
1.57 is the latest you tit.
besides, the Kaiser is an MSM7200 and hence a totally new firmware base, don't compare the two.
Oli, thanks for the put down. Do you ever answer a post without telling the poster he is an ass, tit, wanker or ****wad. Was not comparing the two, just the fact that it has more radios available.
Where and How can I install this? Is it possible that it could cure my BT problem where I get no audio from my x7501 (currently 1.47 radio)

It's a ROM for the 7501... guess.

New HTC x7501 ROM
Somebody tried to flash it on the HTC x7500 already???
Yes, I tried. It's image version 2.19.453.4. The RUU is made only for the X7501.

Hmmmm, and our current version is 2.20.405.1........sooo why not use it instead?
Later...............
I am running the X7501 software now after using the previous X7500 WM6 ROM. The camera app still supports the front camera as I am using the X7500 hardware. This ROM is geared towards US users on T-Mobile or AT&T as it automatically configures your data connection. It contains TeleNav with I assume is similar to Google Maps, but for a paid subscription. I will run it for a few days and report back. The radio version is higher than the one of the X7500 ROM which may be designed for the US market, I dont know.

2.20 is for the X7500, this one is an update to the X7501. I don't know how to make it work on the X7500 (and don't really look forward to it either), but none the less I never said to go ahead and try that one on a X7500. The X7501 is an Athena/Advantage also, I only mentioned this version was out for anyone to try/break/extract/etc.. It's official release also if it makes anyone more comfortable.
One point I thought was interresting was the inclusion of TeleNav instead of TomTom. Sounds like HTC is maketing the 7500 in europe with video telephony and TomTom, where in america it's the 7501 without video telephone and TeleNav. Which makes me believe it will be sold by Cingular/AT&T (who for a strange reason, launch the HSDPA network, but gets rid of services using it such as video telephone).

Both ROMs seem to be about the same, as I have run them each individually. i would say that Advantage users in the United States may like the X7501 ROM better becasue everything is preloaded for AT & T Wireless or T-Mobile.
Other than that, they are the same, and still no VGA resolution support in the X7501 ROM.

Thank you for report, I was curious about the ROM.

I have to say I really enjoy the radio ROM of the X7501 as I have been traveling in areas I normally drop a call and this Radio version on my x7500 seems to migrate seamlessly through my area. I travelled 350 miles round trip today driving and stayed on the phone constantly. I did not drop one call!
Either ROM is OK by me (X7500 or x7501) because at this point if the ROM doesnt have the features you want, you just install a CAB file.
hey guys,
i don't know much about what you're talking about. is there a difference between x7500, x7501, athena, dupod 1000, Ameo and which wm6 rom update u install?
how do i know what i have. i bought mine from some store in manhattan, not from a wireless phone company.
the box says advantage x7500, but the device information:
model number says ATHE100
ROM version: 1.25.405.2
ROM date: 03/09/07
Radio: 1.38.00.00
Protocol: 32.71.7020.103H
extROM: 1.23.405.103
my questions are:
- what model do i have
- is it a locked model? how do i find out?
- livingin USA, would i be better off changing to the x7501 rom, since it's tailored for noth america (so you guys think), or would i be takin a big risk?
really appreciate your help
I need to downgrade my radio from v1.48.00.00 to v1.41.00.10. Is it possible to do this, or is downgrading out of the question. The reason I want to is because I got MUCH better performance out of the older version than the new one.
FYI:
ROM: Black Satin Normal WM6
Current Radio: 1.48.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.81.7070.20H
SPL: Olipro v2.10
I did some searches of the forum, but couldn't find anything relevant, and MR VANX's site doesn't seem to have anything specifically with regards to downgrading only the radio of the PPC.
I'd appreciate any quick responses you all can provide. Thanks!
Can I DOWNGRADE my Radio
The short answer "YES"............
The long answer........ "READ"......... "READ"........"READ".........
Although this has become much easier and SAFER thanks to many wonderful and intelligent people on these boards, IT IS NOT something that you should undertake if YOU DON'T KNOW the answer to your own question.........
A BIG HINT.......take a look at MrVanx's guides......the wiki...... and the "radio only".......upgrade forums, guides, etc......
The Answers are OUT THERE.....................all you have to do IS FIND THEM!!!!!!
I've flashed a lot of ROMS......I'm no techie by any stretch of the imagination, however I ALWAYS....read, check, double check & check again. to ensure I have a pretty good understanding of what to expect, what to do if something goes wrong.....etc.....

Yes , you can downgrade your radio rom like a normal upgrade.

What didn't you like about the 1.48 rom? I went from the official cingular radio to 1.48 and I notice better reception and TERRIBLE battery life. I seem to get about half the battery life that I did pre 1.48. I have the same apps that I have had with both radios.

So I can just run the updater for the v1.41.00.10 radio version and downgrade that way without worrying about it catastrophically killing my phone?
Oh, and I want to go back to the older version because I found that I would get signal drops where I previously had signal and could make calls. I would also more frequently get the signal tower and ! mark, and not be able to make calls at all. I also noticed power draining MUCH faster than before. I thought that might be caused by the new Satin ROM I was using, but I'm glad to find out it might be caused by the radio upgrade.
So is it just a normal downgrade by running the updater executable?

But becareful of HTC_Bootloader, since from 1.38 to 1.48 are still 0108
so it's free to up or downgrade.
Once it has been changed, then we might not be able to do that again.
Pls correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah it would be nice to find out definitively, since I'm sure none of us want to see that 'GSM not found' or some such error...

Of course if you like.
The bootloader can't be downgraded as of now.
I'm an unfortunate victim of this little issue.. my X01HT extended ROM had a radio version of 1.14 listed, but some bogus bootloader version much higher than anything released currently.
Now I'm stuck with an inferior radio version and can do nothing about it due to the bootloader that I can't downgrade.

If you have SPL 2.1o Olipro then you are relatively safe in undertaking this task. I have downgraded from 1.48 to 1.47.10 when i was trying to solve some problems.

I also experienced 1.48 drains much more power than other version of radio.
(almost 50% more)
Since Radio 1.50 is still 0108, I might give it a try!
I just extracted the radio 1.47.51.00 from the htc x7501 wm6 rom and packaged it so it only flashes the radio only. Please ensure if you want to use make sure your device is hardspl which you can find here:

I have flashed it twice now and both times without no probs only set back is that after the radio upgrade your device will hard reset and have to set up device again. I am using this radio with the latest dopod wm6 upgrade now.

if you haven't CID unlocked already (or if you have) if this has a new radio bootloader, (0108) your CID will be stuck from now on.

Both radios has got similar battery life in my own opinion and to fairly say that both radios are really good in terms of overall use with the athena

Before i go ahead and update (or use midgets hotly anticipated cooked ROM), does this X7501 radio ROM include the Video calling functions, or would that be the main ROM that includes that?

I have been using the x7501 radio rom thats in my sig and tested it with video call and it works, not that I have used it that much.
Cheers D.
I would assume then that the Radio ROM supports it, it may just be that the Main ROM has had those functions removed for the X7501.
I'll give it a go. Hopefully it will stop the problems I get when leaving a 3G area. Every time I do, i get no signal for around 10 seconds while it latches on to the 2G signal.
Of course, it could just be that T-mobile have crappy transmitters in my area.....
Will this cause any problems?
I flashed my hermes 300 many times to both versions without any problems.
Yes, Radio downgrades are quite common around here. I just did mine from 1.50 back to 1.47.

For some reason the radio 1.50 drained my battery real fast when using edge gprs. It did have good reception in my area. But, 1.47 gave me both good battery and reception. I might try 1.50 again the next time I upgrade my OS rom to see if this still happens.

Not sure of U'r carrier or location.? But, it seems like the radio sometimes does not in sync with the OS. Did U happen to hard reset before reflashing the OS rom? Before my next flash (which will be any day now), I'm going to reflash 1.50 first. Then see if there is a battery drain! Stay tuned...
