My original HTC (Radio 1.27.12.11) never was able to recieve or create voice calls via 3G nor do any data transfer. Only GSM mode was working, but then for what reason I was going for the Kaiser ?.
Thanks to Pof's work on the HardSPL tool and Dark Simpsons "htc rom tool" and all others contributed to this tools, using the posted french ROM with Radio 1.27.12.17 and the rest from the original HTC rom I compiled a new ROM image.
With this Radio rom I just confirmed that 3G is now working using voice and data. All former 3G problems are gone.
Steps:
- Downloaded original HTC rom and French rom
- Using "NBHextract.exe" to extract the rom components.
- Using the "00_unkonwn.nb" from the french and the rest from the original HTC rom and compile using "htc rom tool" a new rom.
- Now using HARD SPL to install new boot loader and then just transfer the new rom using the original HTC upgrade package with the new rom instead the original one.
Regards
can you post your rom ?

Just replace the rom in the HTC_WWE rom-installer with this one. Worked for me without any problems with Kaiser got from UK, but no warrenty
http://rapidshare.com/files/61052345/RUU_signed_WWE_1.56.405.5_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.17.zip
Update: After 24h using 1.27.12.17, problems just partly vanished
Looks like it was a bit too optimistic. Here are the results of 24h usage:
-3G voice and data are sometimes working. With the 1.27.12.11 it never worked with 1.27.12.17 it work for some calls / times and then 3G still looks like logged into the 3G-Network, but phone is unreachable. The phone needs to be switched off/on again to get it working. Then one call / data connection / incoming call is possible. After that darkness again. At least one 3G action is possible in comparion to earlier radio rom, but it is still far away from perfect.
It is an improvement but HTC has still to do a better job with the radio rom. Hope we will get an update soon behind 1.27.12.17

thanks, I'll give it a try in a few days.... as to warrenty - HTC appears not to honor warrenties, HTC US said "not our problem", HTC UK has not answered in over a week....
If yo can live with french try the french rom
... now I run for 24h with the french rom, no customization.
It is better then the HTC with the replaced Radio, posted above. I can call 3G, do data connections and receive incoming calls. It seems after 24h pretty stable. Therefore it looks like changing the radio is not enough and that as the french rom using a slightly newer OS then HTC original, there are some changes too included.
- Problem: Roaming between GSM and 3G, somtimes the phone needs 5 or more minutes to login into the network again after areas with no coverage. Completly different to the Nokia N95, which can handle such issues with no problem @ all
- About HTC service. I called them too and they tried to direct my to a service partner I should pay for getting my problems solved, that is very different to what I understand about warrenty too.
I would be really thankful for anyone who could produce a Radio-only flash available using the French .17 Firmware.
The stock .11 radio ROM is completely, I mean really completely useless for me. Any time I try to write a SMS, make a phone call or data connection my Kaiser immediately loses the connection to the network and I have wait for the phone to reconnect itself. I also cannot receive any incoming calls.
I remember that the first radio ROMs for the Hermes were terrible but this is even worse. Too bad because I'm really enjoying the rest of my Kaiser so far.
It is not only the french radio rom .17 ..
I have done lots of test and added above a rom HTC with french .17 radio stack. But there is more then then just the radio. It is better with the mixed rom, but still not good to use it as a reliable phone.
Best what you can do is using the french rom and you get a 50% chance that 3G works incoming and outgoing.
I'm rather new to creating my own cooked ROMs so I'm right to think if I want to upgrade my Kaiser to the .17 Radio ROM, the only thing I need to do is create a .nbh file from "02_Unknown.nb" and flash the resulting nbh file using CustomRUU and my Kaiser will not be completed formated?
I'm asking this because my Kaiser is now perfectly configurated and personalized and I don't want restart install all my programs, I just want to try the new Radio ROM because the current version is completely useless.
Thanks for any info
well disregard my previous post, I just successfully flashed my Kaiser with the new Radio ROM and hopefully I will actually be able to call someone with my PDA phone.
Hi all, first I have to say that I'm in Dublin Ireland using vodafone and have my kaiser for about 3 weeks now and the most odd thing about that would be that it has been working fine 3G and 3.5G when within good coverage. All of a sudden last sunday it just stopped working with 3G I believe that network provider just changed something with its settings but I can't be sure. I would love to see a radio update soon but since I don't believe in miracles I've been trying some temporary workaround just to be able to call and text. It seems that it enough to go to settings -> phone -> network and set the BAND TO GSM. This way it doesn't use 3G but at least I can use the phone. Hope it could help anyone there.
Thanks for the info, I'll try that eventhough the .17 Radio Update did improve network connection somewhat but it's still subpar.
FYI, I was last Saturday in Dublin, eventhough only for an hour, and of course I tried my Kaiser but the 3G data connection completely refused to work. This was when I still had my .11 Radio ROM installed.
So far I have tried my Kaiser in London, Malpensa, Madrid and Berlin so the issue seems to be rather ROM related than provider related.
you're right, it has nothing to do with the provider I was wrong. I took my card from Era Poland with roaming and turned on my Kaiser. On O2 I had two bars on HSDPA and that beautiful H letter on the top of the screen but not possible to make a call, send sms or whatever. Switching to gsm always works. I upgraded to .17 and it looks exactly the same as it was I see no difference at all. The only thing that bothers me at the moment is that for me it's been working fine for some time. I've been using 3g in Dublin and Warsaw as well and for some reason it just stopped I just hope it's not any hardware issue.
Is this rom posted on #1 a radio only or the whole thing?
I have the same problem over here. I have the Tytn2 for one month now. I had vacation and i took the plane at Amsterdam (Schiphol) to Tenerife.
When i arrived in Tenerife i get a 3G icon and cannot make calls and cannot internet. I had manually switch to GSM band. Now back in Holland with auto-settings i have the same problem again. With 3G i can do nothing (call/internet). Anyone any idea?
I have a vodafona abbo, my simcard in the old tytn1 with same settings works well at 3G. Soon i call with htc!
Same problem here with HTC Tytn II in Holland on T-mobile,
switched 3G to GSM and luckely I can use the phone now,
but I really hope there will be a fix soon!
Thanks!
Same on AT&T
I'm having the same problem with my tilt. I had the 3G before the flash but have not had it since.
same her in nyc ...tried both radios....3g doesnt work....help....please
A hard reset does NOT fix the 3G call/internet problem
When i switch the telephoneband from auto to GSM the phone get's connected at G and i can call. But i want videocall.
Please someone ? Defect or waiting for rom ?
I too am experiencing this problem. It happened overnight one night -- 3G will not connect -- neither voice or data, but GSM (edge) works fine.
I'm on ATT, HardSPL with Schaps 4.22 rom. It was working fine in this configuration, then suddenly stopped. Tried Hard reset (no help), and tried upgrading the radio to .17 (also no help). Next step is to try and revert to original ROM/Radio/Bootloader (per "how to restore to factory for rma thread") to see if that helps.
If anyone comes up with a solution, I'd be grateful.
Does anyone have this problem ?
Connect IE via yr mobile EDGE service..for my case is Digi in Malaysia. The first few mins or pages..it works fine..Right after that IE cannot reach any pages and time out.. All the while the "E" for data services is still connected. Brought it back to HTC service centre...they tested 1 week , change 2 mother boards and swap one new unit...still the same issue..Its not sim issue as my connection does not break in other phones. Issue prevails in Google Maps, MSN Messenger and Shape Service IM+. If anyone knows a fix...pls help as I dunno what to do with an expensive phone that cannot sustain connection over EDGE or GPRS
Thanks
Have you flashed your rom to a different one other than stock? what about the radio, which version are you using, is it stock?
I would lean towards a radio issue or the edge service sucks.
i do know that on my older 8125 (wizard) that after about 3 days of being in constant connection i would get the same problem, but all i would have to do is disconnect form it and reconnect and it would be fine again for a long wile.
Hi pdpt,
Yes I have flashed to many ROM's and Radio including, Stock, Dutty's, Sleuth, Vega, No thrills, SNE, Alex while RADIO ROMS for WM6 and 6.1 including Nikki's , Polaris etc etc. Unfortunately all results the same. Have also tried manual connection setup, Kaiser Tweak (Edge always on) disabling the 3G portion, diabling HSDPA but those only saves batt drainag.
My previous Dopod 838Pro and the HTC Touch doesnt have this issue. Its only confined to Tytn II.
You state you've flashed to many ROM's. Have you flashed back to a stock ROM from ATT or HTC? Can make all the difference.
yes of course i did flashed back to original. the new unit i got back was also stock

well i dont know much about the edge service in Malaysia but before i say its borked try getting a new sim card. if that doesnt work im going to say that there might be something wrong with the unit itself esp if the sim card works in another phone and you can surf the internet with no problem.
Hi everyone, I am new to this topic and have only spent more time reading some of the topics relating to Hard-SPL, Roms etc since I have a had an issue with a recent upgrade of ROM supplied via Vodafone.
I have upgraded from the shipped ROM version 1.37 to 1.97, since the upgrade i was impressed with the slight changes that Vodafone had made to the screen response, and dialer slider ... BUT... wasn't impressed with the fact I am now being charged to access Windows Live, and Hotmail.
I used to be able to sit at home and access my wireless and just check my mail, since the upgrade being connected to my wireless it still connects via GPRS.
I have spoken to Vodafone and expressed my dissappointment, and they did lower my Data plan, but still it doesn't resolve the issue that i had a service which changed without notification.
They asked me to just go by my usual usage under the GPRS for the next five days just to review my usage and see how much of an impact this would make, works fine under GPRS, just a bit miffed now I can't use a feature on my phone, anyway, I went back to vodafone after 5 days and told them that I hadn't been able to download anything through my GPRS i.e attachments on emails.
I am looking to try and get this back to normal with my connections, Vodafone told me to think about doing a HARD-SPL on my phone, to check the version and to upgrade it to my phone... I have read and read and read... Now I have guides on how to do it and understood what it is for I am now confused which version I should be going for and Which ROM, I'm very worried to 'brick' my Diamond, it's the best device I have had.
BTW... Vodafone said doing this wouldn't void my warranty... that has to be a lie!!?
So I was wondering if anybody could help me to find a Hard-SPL version, ROM, Radio version that I require to upgrade my Handset I would be most greatful.
I checked the information from re-booting my phone with the down volume button pressed and dispalys the following:
DIAM100 64M
SPL-1.97.0000
Many Thanks
dear all...
i deceided a few weeks ago to change from nokia to the htc touch diamond. a friend of mine has an htc touch hd and i really liked it. the touch display was my favorit. i don't like apple products, so the iphone was never an option, also i don't like samsung products (mobile ones) because i had a samsung mobile and had a lot of troubles with it.
well... since i have the touch diamond, i also have troubles with it. in the first three days i wasn't able to phone -> the phone hangs up and if i tried to dial a number no one can hear me and i didn't hear the one i called. i gave it back to the shop for repair -> after two weeks i got it back and was told there was an software problem and it is now fixed. ok... well it was fixed, but new problems were upcoming. first of all the battery -> it's not possible to pass a day from morning to the late evening with charging the diamond only once... first i thought this is my biggest problem but then i revealed that an other bigger problem exists which actually effects my job. i'm not reachable because my mobile losts connectivity as soon as it goes to standby. when i activate it over the power button it searches for an gsm signal but it doesn't find one. it doesn't matter if i'm in my flat or if i stand with the mobile near to the radio mast. it only helps if i turn the phone function off and on.
my friend told me about the opportunity that this forum exists where people working on developing roms and other nice features for various mobiles and i should take a look at it. well.... i registered here, read the howtos and guides and flashing bibles and tried nearly all available roms here to improve the behaviours of my diamond, but i don't succeed, well this is the time, where i capitulate and ask for help... my provider can't help me... they said that the mobile is not so often sold and they don't hear anything about customer complaints...
info about my acutal-configuration:
mobile: htc touch diamond
spl: 1.9.30-OliNex HSPL
rom: 2.07.Gen.Y GER
radio: 1.09.25.23 (htc because mobile is still security locked)
protocoll version: 52.51.25.26H
provider: A1 mobilkom www.a1.net
location: EU/AT/VIENNA
can anyone give me suggestions what to do?
can anyone help me to make my diamond a mobilephone it should be or give me an advice what i can do?
i also think about resetting the phone to factory defaults (at the moment i'm searching for a guide) and give the handy back and pay the upgrade price for the touch hd... my friend doesn't have any problem with it and i don't know any other way out of this situation... at the moment i have a multimedia device with wich i can't phone and couldn't be reached which in my opinion is absolutly not acceptable.
kind regards
unlock it and use bsb rom
losing GSM signal when the phone is on standby? I'm just making a guess here, but I believe you might have a problem with the ROM and or just only the radio. unlock it and flash a new ROM and or a radio to see if it works
as for battery life, the Diamond battery is very bad, and the radio you use is directly related to the battery life, some radio sucks battery out dry pretty quickly, but normally, this phone requires a charge once per day
Hey...so this is my story. i tried to figuere out if somebody got the same probs but couldnt find it anywhere so i am just asking all of you thanks...
SO here we go...
My Provider is E-plus and i live in Stuttgart (germany)
I got my HTC kaiser about 6 month ago and it always worked well and i didnt have any problems. I had reception everywhere (also in my room). The regular Windows mobil was installed i didnt change anything.neither the rom version nor the radio rom. so everything was how i got it in the beginning.
Then i have flashed the new version of Windows mobile 6.1 (downloaded from the HTC homepage,sorry i dont now the specific name and which radio version it was) but from that moment on my mobile phone didnt reciept in my room anymore. There was always the "!".
Then i have tried:
- to look for reciept manually (it found different providers but couldnt connect with those
- i ve tested my sim card with other phones and it worked
- i have tested different Roms and radio roms such as:
original rom
L26_KaiserDiamond_V9 (englisch)
Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700 (englisch)
German clean WM6.5◄ by ChrBeck (CHome)
- different radios such as:
KAISER Radios These Radios were ripped from Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs.
1.65.14.06
1.65.20.29
1.65.16.25
1.65.17.56
1.70.19.09 -
1.71.09.01 -
lots of 1.58.XXXXX and 1.64.XXXX
and even more
--> they all work while i am not in my room. but non of them worked in my room...and it did before.
then i decided to use the original version again which i did
i ve installed Rom:
CE OS 5.2.1620(Build18125.0.4.2)
1.56.407.3
Radiorom: 1.27.12.32
What happened now is that it shows that it got full reception but the phone still doesnt work in my room. but i can use the UMTS date transmission --> i can use the Internet
as soon as i am outside and soft reset the mobile phone it works perfectly.
i am not shure if i have listed everything that is important but if somebody could help me with that i would be pretty cool because a mobile which is just working half of the time isnt very usefull...
any ideas? thanks
Seems like your phone sees the signal seded by the Mobile Operator to you but it isn't able to send a signal back to tell the operator that it is there. Seems like something causes your internal Antenna of the phone to be not as powerfull as at the beginning. Maybe you installed a Radio that has lowered the power and no Radio will rise it again cause the radio things you are in a power restricted area.
In my Charmer I was able to get the power of the radio unit 10% up but the trick doesn't seem to work for the Kaiser. Maybe an user with more Kaiser knowlege can help you better.
Anything new in your room (or nearby) that might be causing interference?
thats what i thought first too...because i ve installed wireless power point...but i have deinstalled them in my room again and it didnt work neither
