Diamond radios can now be flashed to the Raphael.
Ive got 1.00.25.05 flashed right now and its a lot better than any Raphael radio.
I had some problems in the begining but Olipro helped me.
1st you security unlock, here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426609
2nd chose the option "Security Unlock" on you PDA in the last step and press "Commit Changes".
3rd download any Diamond radio (NBH) of choice .
4th you have 2 basic choices to make it flash:
1) extract radio from NBH, rebuild for Raphael (bit long winded but of course words)
2) open the NBH in a hex editor and substitute "DIAM*****" for "RAPH*****" or RAPH10000 or RAPH12000 (depending on whether your SPL screen says 100 or 120) - stick with wildcards first and use the exact values if it continues to complain.
I used this HEX editor : http://www.hhdsoftware.com/Products/home/hex-editor-free.html
Olipro recommends XV132 and its free.
5th now put the edited NBH (radio file) in the same folder as Raphael Custom RUU. Heres a link to the RUU : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410761&highlight=customruu
6th now flash !
And remember all of this information was provided to me by Olipro via e-mail, without me even asking (I was using the unlocker again and again and he noticed so he shot me an e-mail). Im just passing the information further, all credit goes to them !
Keep up the great work everyone !
Hi hope some cheef can convert the diamond radio roms to touch pro to avoid we brick out toys
Can you please explain what exactly is better in the Diamond radio's compared to the Raph radios? IE Battery life, reception, GPS?
And of course this may be a stupid question (well, for sure a stupid question!) but how 'bout US 3G?
Thanks!

nothing's better... but if you're bored and have nothing better to do...
OK, well, some will claim performance increases etc etc, the truth is, it's entirely subjective, and the current Raphael Radios are in fact just modified versions of new Diamond ones.

That's what I figured... Same hardware, probably just slightly modified radios for both devices... Well, I'll keep my current radio for now until I hear something really ground-breaking...
Thanks for the quick reply!

I looked under phone settings and it does not show the US 3G 850MHz frequency. Which this radio (1.00.25.05) supports on the Diamond. Dont know what thats all about........
The reception (phone and data) is better and faster what Ive seen so far. Its 1040 PM here so will test GPS tommorow and need more time to see the differences in battery.
Can you upload modified Radio?
it might not be entirely subjective, it depends on the area where you are. in any case the more choices the better.

the truth is, the raphael radios (both the ATT 1.01 and the "european" 1.02.25.31) support both 850 and 1900 Mhz 3G. it is confirmed because they've been flashed to a Fuze.

Does this mean that the Fuze has different hardware to support these ?
Ive deleted the radio I used to flash but I can make a new one if you want. Just tell me.
Edit : Ive just flashed from ROMeOS to DCS (latest) and the 850/1900MHz options are now visible in the settings. But I cant test them since Im in Sweden.
I'm in the US. If you send me one of the Diamond radios I can test it on different ROMs to see if 3G is enabled with the diamond radio.
Ok heres the Diamond radio Im using. Ive edited it to work on the Touch Pro.
Heres a link : http://rapidshare.com/files/146154003/Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05.rar.html
well i've just brought the security unlocker and did the hex editing and i confirm that the radio from diamond works. Going to test it the next few days.
thanks for the file. I downloaded it. Do Ihave to use the Hex editor or just flash it directly to my TP?.
update:
I've tried to to the Hex edit but I cannot find any reference as specified on the first post. I might require your help as I'm not an expert. thanks
I've tried both RAPH***** and RAPH10000 as specified in my SPL and during the flashing process I get to 100% but the last page shows "error[226]: Flashwrite... flashwrite error UI535.
I've tried a couple of times with no luck. any clues?
Have you security unlocked ? Theres no need to HEX edit the file ive uploaded Ive already done that.
I think my device has been security unlocked. I was able to flash any rom radion in the past. is that right?. if not. do you have any tool i could use to security unlock it?.
correction: think what i did was to replace the hard-spl. I tried the link in your post #1 but no luck to get the security unlocker. any help?
thanks
You have to donate to be able to get the security unlock. Heres a more direct link : http://raphael.htc-unlocks.com/
good. I've donated and i'm waiting for Olipro to send me the information.
thanks
I installed HardSPL and was able to flash a different radio.
Security unlock just enables you to sim unlock aswell right? I've tried searching the whole of xda & google but can't find a definite answer that convinces me I need to security unlock if I already have HardSPL installed along with the fact that my Touch pro is already Sim Unlocked.
Sorry if this is a silly question...
edit: sorry i should learn to read because moisesz asked the question...sigh...i'm still none the wiser.
Have no problem donating but just need to know whether I need to security unlock.
hard-spl and security unlock is different, this for a fact i know... whats the different? beats me
I am trying to get TNT .20273 working on my G4, but my radio version is 2.30.11 and I heard this is why its not working correctly. I downloaded the T-Mobile 2.19.11, but I have Cingular...will this make a difference? Do I flash this like any other ROM? Do I need to flash this before or after I flash a new ROM?
Radio Rom is independent of any Rom/OS,it can be flashed to any device version or Rom/OS working on the phone,it has its own protocols (GSM) and doesn't include any IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) so it can easily and safely be flashed to any wizard device.
Secondly,as you have a G4 device and its CID locked,it can not be upgraded to any wm6 rom like TNT,unless you either upgrade through SoftSPL or HardSPL.
Thirdly,where have you heard,since you have radio version is 2.30.11 and its cause for not getting the phone upgraded to TNT Rom ? As I said above,Radio Rom has got nothing to do with ROM/OS.Yes! you can flash Radio Rom 2.19.11,it doesn't matter if you have a Cingular.
Wm6 Roms like TNT will certainly flash regardless of which version of Radio Rom you have at the present
Hi guys,
This forums are just great!
Is there any "recommended" radio version? I've heard there are some old ones but I just wonder if upgrading it would really make any difference about the phone's reception.
I've noticed there are now two ways to flash new ROMs, hard and soft SLP, which one is best? My phone is already SIM unlocked but I want to load Slim Diamond WM 6.1.
Thanks in advance for your comments and help.
Well I got TNT .20273 "working", but I was always getting missed calls and texts and whenever I would soft reset I would get like 10 cannot load blah blah file and I read somewere it was because the radio version I had. Plus I heard 2.19.11 was the best with no dropped calls and such.

First determine which version is your phone,G3 or G4,its very important,coz method for flashing a rom is altogether different for both the devices.
HardSPL and SoftSPL are solely meant to flash a G4 device and shud not be done for a G3 phone,likewise CID unlocking method for a G3 phone,through lokiwiz02b or WST_4.2.2 Tool, shud not be carried out on a G4 device.
You need to do alot of reading to understand all these methods,So..... get going!!! or else you might end up 'Bricking" your phone

ok so you said that. i'd like to say, i have a g3 with radio 02.25.11 and i'm fixin to use a multitude of different roms i've found here .. some with touch flow, others are this and that. but none of them say anything about radio roms or compatibility or dropped call count. so my question to you is, will this radio rom i have make a difference? am i going to have to change radio roms or no?
This is the G4 subforum
Radio 2.19.11 is recommended.
Thanks a lot zabardast_1!
I did the reading and the upgrade. Evertyhing went great and my wizard is now running WM 6.1 and working great.
I do have a follow up question though. I noticed there are different ROMs and the today screen looks different (the way the clock is shown, the icons available, etc).
Is there any way to change the way things look without changing the ROM?
Thanks again!
are most Raphael Roms compatible with Fuze?
All Raphael ROMs can be used with the Fuze.
Some are made specifically for the Fuze, while others are made for the Touch Pro (unlocked, non-carrier specific). The ROMs made for the Touch Pro can be used on the Fuze, all you have to do is install two files which change the keyboard and connection settings to the ones for AT&T and the Fuze.
Hope that helped.

Yes, the only difference is the keyboard layout and there is a cab to fix that!

if you flash a rom like NRG's (which i highly recommend as i am a fuze owner with his rom flashed onto my phone) then you don't have to do anything and if the keyboard decides not to work you can go to the first post and reread it to fix your problem . :] try it , i promise you'll like it !
not all raphael roms are compatible with the fuze, only raphael gsm roms are compatible with the fuze.
you need to read up on flashing b4 u kill ur phone.

Oh crap haha I forgot about CDMA.
DO NOT FLASH A CDMA ROM TO YOUR FUZE WHICH IS GSM UNLESS YOU WANT A PAPERWEIGHT!
So in other words, stay in the "Raphael ROM development" forum and stay OUT of the "Raphael CDMA" forum.
I don't have Fuze yet, still got the Wing, just waiting for my contract to expire, about 2 more months.
I thought it would have been good idea to get ready before i get the phone.

I just bought T-Mobile Ameo WM 5.0 over the ebay which was mentioned unlocked. I am using it with vodafone SIM. I am confused by reading about upgrades that it has to be unlopcked before it ca be upgraded. Does this SIM unlock is the 'unlock' required to upgrde or is it something different?
(1) How do I know that it is really unlocked, if it is different to SIM unlocking? As it is working with other than T-Mobile SIM proves it is unlocked? As different to other WM devices I have used, this is more like a PC booting up.
(2) What are the prime benefits of upgrading to WM6.0?
(3) I want to go for official upgrade (i.e. WM 6.0) than coocked ROMs as for now. Or should I jump to the latest (but coocked Wm 6.1 or WM 6.5) ROM? Do I loose any functionality in installing coocked ROM?
(4) And last, does upgrading to offical ROM (downloaded from links on the forum) will again Unlock it to T-Mobile? This may seem trivial, but I have a bit concern that as it is going to be offical upgrade, can it again lock to T-Mobile? If it does, than I will not be in a position to use it as phone unless I unlock again! This seems funny on my part, but better prevent than cure.
Thanks in advance
NO ONE AS YET? I gussed I would have received instant answers to very basic questions becaise I had just bought Ameo!

Its been a while since I did mine but will try and advise on what I can remember
1.SIM unlocking is for using other networks operators and sometimes confused with CID unlocking, I think. If your using a vodaphone sim then it is def sim unlocked but in order to get it to a safe point for upgrading ideally you need to install hardspl and cid unlock I think. There are many guides on here but you will have to search and read I'm afraid as most of us did this a while ago.
2/3.Each of the windows builds 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5 bring different things and increased functionality, 6.0 and 6.1 are worthwhile upgrades as they are both official releases, you may struggle to find a stock 6.1 for the ameo though. Again its been a long time since I used 6.1 on any of my devices, 6.5 is ok as long as you realise that its still in MS beta so you may find stuff that doesnt work or isnt perfect but it is the most up to date. Cooked roms gain or loose functionality dependant on the cook who made it and what they decided to include or remove.
4. I have never installed the stock t-mobile rom so cant tell you if it will re-lock the device but I wouldnt think so.
***Please for your own sake, read as much as you can in these forums to ensure you know what your going to do, also if you do decide to go for cooked roms make sure you use a rom suitable for your SPL****
Hope this helps

That's what I was suspecting, that SIM unlocking wasn't the unlocking required to upgrade it. Thanks for reconfirming this.
Now as there is offical WM 6.0 ROM for Ameo linked here, does that mean they (T-Mobile) have also referred their own upgrading procedure somewhere? For my Xperia X1, SE Updte utility takes care of official upgrade task, so something similar had existed sometime as there exists official T-Mobile 6.0 ROM, there must their official procedure too. I will definitely try to find it, but as yet someone had gone through it, please give some hints.
And as yet until I get a definite answer that upgrading it to offical WM 6.0 T-Mobile ROM will not lock (I mean SIM Lock) to T-Mobile again, I will prefer to defer although I am still looking to get enhanced performance, it has been with me for just a few day and I don't want to mess it up as I have slowly began to love it! Even it is like my desktop speakerphone at home / office and I have began to talk more conveniently and confortable on the desk or home. Yes, I am still not used to use it as normal small cell phone, but I hope I will gt used to it, although I find to see anything on screen during sulit days or in bright daylight.

Hi. welcome to the forum. I was new here six months ago. there is a lot of information here and you MUST take time to read and understand. not many will answer your basic questions. they is not being nasty, it is just the way it is. you must teach yourself. you will not find much (if any) information about official roms.
if you decide to try a cooked rom, Lakeman has produced a great tutorial which is stickied in this forum. It is the one I followed. here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429013
study this carefully, google anything you dont understand, dont do anything until you are sure you know what you are doing.
just to repeat what avengerpenguin said
MAKE SURE YOU USE A ROM TO SUIT YOUR SPL
good luck

to be able to flash cooked ROMs to your phone you need to hardSPL your device. HardSPl will OS unlock your device. to be able to use the best WM6.5 rom for your device you need to upgrade to SPL 3.5.
first thing you need to do:
find out what spl your device is currently using: hold down camera button (all the way down) + press the reset hole/button, keep holding down on the camera button but release the reset hole/button (keep holding on camera button until a multi colored screen comes up (then release camera button) look where it says (spl) tell us what is there.

It was 1.10 something and I upgraded to T-Mobile official WM6 ROM today without any issues and overall device is more fast and chunkier. Now it is 2.35 something.
I have however noticed two issues,
(1) HSDPA switch is enabled yet 'H' icon has gone so probably it is not connecting to HSDPA mode, I guess. I want the 'H' back.
(2) Windows Live is gone.
(3) Programs icons are noit alfabatically sorted but somehow lossely scattered.
I googled that Ameo doesn't require CID unlocked and it upgrades directly and it did via T-Mobile application which runs via USB cable.

HSDPA may be down to the age of the rom, if tmobile didnt have their HSDPA running when the rom was built may not be included in the icons etc
Windows live should be available through cab if you search or use a 3rd party app like palringo

Hi and welcome to the forum,
Now I have been using the Ameo for 2 years now, and must have flashed about every rom there is for it. So the other day I thought about going back to a stock WM6.0 T-mobile rom and try it for a few days to see how different it was to a cooked rom. Well it lasted 2 hours and I put it back to Michy's 5.1 rom. Now I'm not saying that Michy's roms are the mutts nutts of roms, that is down to personal choice, but it just proved to me why we use cooked roms. Read the WIKI, and I very much doubt you will have a fault that's not covered in that page.Also read THIS superb thread, it tells you all you need to know BE very careful when choosing a rom that you check the SPL on it, as flashing an SPL 3.5 rom onto an Ameo with another SPL will cause all sorts of problems. Like I say, Read the WIKI FIRST. take your time, and do nothing till you are sure!
Regards
Jay
Somehow I found internet access speeds even better although it doesn't display 'H' for HSDPA, because noe HD youtube videos plays smoothly with less buffering, i.e. seems good enough. Battery life has been extended.
USB host is still not good, can't retain it's status, can't load HDD or DVD or CD drives (via powered hub, offcourse)
I was just ponderind, does it drain more battery while connected to keyboard as keyboard definitely will be needing some current to drive and power to run it, that means even when it is plugged in to charger or USB to a PC, what difference does i make w.r.t time it takes to fully charge and retain there where keyboard is connected and when not?
Hi I just upgraded my Ameo using the official TMB 005 6.0 upgrade and it did not relock my sim to tmobile, my vodacom sim is still working fine, however now I want to upgrade it to 6.1 or 6.5 perhaps using a cooked ROM as i cant find an offical Tmobile upgrade to 6.1

I dont think there was an offical t mobile 6.1 release, and any 6.1 stock build will be very old now as I dont think there has been any oem development for this device for a long time.

No there wasn't a 6.1 upgrade for our device, I think they thought it such a small change that it wasn't worth it. and not long after they brought out the 16gb device.

if it really 20.000.0, then are you sure its a hd2??? hehe
oh, and be sure and do your rom search in THIS dedicated tmous (tmous = t mobile us, , you did mean from tmo us didnt you? your phone is different from all the other hd2s) section, you are currently in the regular hd2 thread, and not all roms are compatible.
ohh, yes its 2.10.0000 okay i'll download the HSPL 3 and install it and get back to you. thanks so much, yeah i mean't tmo us. oh i see there's regular hd2 and the tmobile hd2.. i see okay sorry am kinda new to all this. thank you so much.
no worries.
one word of caution, read a LOT before you start to flash, most things are recoverable, but the wrong radio will kill your phone, it will NOT be recoverable.
radios have versions of the form x.xx.5x.x
the red bit will always be either 50 or 51. You must NEVER flash a 51 radio.
See posts 1 and 2 HERE (the tmous radio thread) for a list of compatible radios.
(To be honest, you needn't worry about radios for a while yet, there is no need for you to change radios for teh roms you will be flashing, so get used to rom flashing before you start on radios.)
Happy flashing!
wow, this is exactly the type of thread i've been searching for. i, too, have a 1024leo (tmous hd2), with 2.10.0000. so is flashing a bad radio the only way to brick?

well wouldn't say the only way there are other such as losing power mid flash, But wrong radio on 1024 leos is a definite brick
