I need help... I found out that to get the FM Radio to operate on a CDMA Sprint Touch Pro, it is 100% a SPL or FM_API.dll issue.. How do I modify these or how can I change it? Software, tips, ideas, anything would be helpful... Thank you!
Any ideas?
Posting in the cdma forum would be a good start to finding a solution.
Just curious how you know 100% it's either SPL or FMS_api?

Please dont flame me. I have done alot of reading ... so much so that I think I have confused myself. I dont need step by steps how to do it ... I just need to know if what I am reading is correct or not.
I installed the new ROM and here is my info.
ROM 2.06.502.3
Radio 1.16.00.00
IPL - 1.00
SPL - 1.09
From there I did the v3 SIM & CID Unlocker ... which I did before but did again because I was not sure if it would stick.
All I want to do is upgrade the radio ... I drop alot of calls and I am hoping that 1.27.00.00 helps.
To do this, would I need to run the program to take my BL v. to 1.01 MFG from 1.09, then upgrade to 1.04. Then I can install a new radio ROM? Or is there something else that is keeping me from doing it.
I am sorry and I promise not to ask anymore noob questions. I just want to make sure I fully understand.
Thanks guys.

BTW, I think the new ROM version is great. My 8525 is running better than ever (faster) and battery life is WAY better than it was before. I strongly recommend it. Disable the startup animation though! It sucks and it messes up your volume.

Please, anyone. I really appreciate it.
Well, I am by far no expert on this (and scared of bricking my device) ... so what I did was everything you described ... then I re-installed the new Cingular ROM ... thereby upgrading my radio to 1.33.31.00.
Had I foresight, I would have used the unlocker before upgrading to the new Cinguar ROM (so I would not have to install it twice)...live and learn.
I did not bother with the steps you described necessary to install the 1.27 radio ...figuring I could live with 1.33.31.00
sorry, I misread your post.
-------------
You got radio 1.16 which has radiobl 107, so go ahead and grab a copy of the 1.27 radiorom and run the update.
I read that I need to have BL 1.04 to upgrade the radio.
I currently have BL 1.09. So the only way I can go back to 1.04 is by going to imei-check.co.uk and paying for it right?
Thanks,

why do you want 1.27 instead of 1.33?
so, no one answered my prior question ... I realize the Radio ROMs are subjective (and discussed ad naseum in various places on this forum) but I am still looking for a succinct summary (if there is one) as to why I would tinker with my Radio ROM to get off of 1.33 and maybe down to 1.27 or some other.
Are there known and significant issues with 1.33?
Anyone?
I really dont know.
Most of the people I see on the forum are on 1.27.00.
I thought I read somewhere that it seemed to work well for most people, although I do not know why 1.33 wouldnt be just as good. Im still a noob.
If anybody can confirm what I am thinking regarding what I need to do, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kangle
well, 1.33 is working fine for me... and it certainly would be *easier* for you just to re-flash the new cingular rom again (now that you are sim unlocked and super cid) ... that is what I did, and it worked fine. [and candidly, I was to scared of the many steps I was going to need to take to otherwise downgrade my SPL in order to change my Radio]

No issues with 1.33. The only advantage of the 1.27 radio is that it uses radio bootloader (RBL) 1.007, whereas Radio 1.33 has RBL 1.008. The difference is that you can run downgrades on 1.27, but not on 1.33.
The only reason that you might want to downgrade is so that you may flash a trinity Radio if they manage to get the GPS going, which seems unlikely without a hardware mod. So unless you plan on opening up your Hermes at some stage to do some surgery, you don't need to downgrade the radio stack.
im looking to upgrade my radio on my AT&T 8125 it is locked
and i was wondering whats the best one for me
i live in California around LA i need help
im really new at this and can anyone tell me
where i can find these radio upgrades thanks
You need to try it yourself to see which is the best one for your network and location.
Radio ROMs can be found in xda's FTP site (ftp://xda:[email protected]) under Wizard directory.
Will flashing a radio rom on a CID locked G4 MDA work? Will this mess up anything? I have searched around but found nothing. Thank you.
No, changing radio ROM does not require a CID-unlocked device, just run the Radio-only RUU directly and you're done.
i just got the wiz and LOVE it! i stumbled on this site SEARCHING for a sim-unlock ... provided by ANTC (thanks) i got it! now i wanna tweak a little or a lot! but ... again i'm a noob with about no experience at this and need some insight (more like a held hand) on how to 1. find a good mod and 2. a detailed explanation on how to use it! i REALLY want to flash rom but need help and i'm tired of going through post after post! (i've been at this for DAYS!!!!) help guys...PLEASE!
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 2.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
ALL help will be GREATLY appreciated!
There's no substitute for reading the posts. In particular, you need to read the first three stickie posts on how to CID unlock the phone: You have to either soft SPL or hard SPL. Your choice. Verify by checking the SPL IPL numbers.
look here, very good and pretty easy to do and contains everything you need and works great )

There is a perfect explination on there of how to do EVERYTHING,
It helped me loads =]
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
Hi im new in the forum
i just got my htc hd2 and it have radio 2.10 spl 2.08 and hslp.... i was all over looking at the topics but i am confuse..
All roms have an special radio that is needed to be installed? what is the must supported radio for all roms? having installed the hspl3 will do the job no matter the radio or bow exactly i get to know what is the exact radio that the rom needs so i dont brick my phone?
sorry to bother with all questios. just want to be informed before i do all the stuff in the video tutorials i've seen.
thanks in advance for the help
Some Rom developers suggest that specific Radios can work well with their ROM. If you update your Radio to the latest 2.15.50.14 i think it would be up to date and you will never have any problems with it... I tried several Radios on several Roms and i don't see any problem with voice e.t.c
*-What is a Radio ROM?
* The Radio ROM is the software part of your device that is powering on/off and controlling your radio interfaces. This includes Bluetooth, 2G/3G Phone, WiFi, GPS..... And it also includes the OEMSBL (Radio BootLoader) and other device specific firmwares needed for using your radio interfaces and for interfacing them with the OS (Windows Mobile/Android).
.......So don't worry... You can't brick your phone with this if you follow the instructions on installation screen of course!
you can find the Radios here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
woah stop there. The OP has a tmous, and you linked him to the regular hd2 radio thread, which contains loads of radios that will destroy a tmous.
OP, go HERE , and in the tmous specific rom development thread you will find another radio thread HERE, which tells you all you need to know, about which radios you can and cant flash.
WOW! Didn't saw that! Sorry mate!
Thanks arkatis & samsamuel for the answers and help..
Will check the information on your links/ Thanks for the help responses
