[writing from work in a hurry, so excuse me for not having all my details in front of me]
I'm a long-time avid user/flasher of the Wizard who recently bought an old BA on eBay for my wife. First thing I did was download the xplode WM5 ROM and flash the sucker. Very nice and now up-to-date.
Call volumes sucked, so I checked her Radio version, and it was 1.02 or something ridiculously old. I tried to flash the newer 1.15 Radio Rom using the bootloader app that came with it (MAUUpdate something). I got a country code error, so I added the special line to the config file to cheat.
Now it starts the process and never gets past 0% on radio flash. Just hangs. And then some strange 114 error when it finally dies.
I've tried with the newest MaUpgradeUt_noID files I could find. I even tried the 1.13 Radio ROM with no change.
I even re-flashed to WM2003 and tried to flash just the Radio from there. Kept getting "wrong device" message or connection error or something. I tried multiple times in a row (one post suggested the first time will error but second time will work).
I did SIM unlock just in case (Cingular on Cingular so shouldn't have been a problem).
Any suggestions out there? I think I've tried everything!
And yes, I've read all posts and wiki's. (Usually I read only Wizard, but have extended my reading to cover the BA).
Have you tried downgraging to WM2003 then upgrading to Radio 1.15 then finally back to WM5?
I had upgraded my radio ROM when still on WM2003 and found no problems!

yes, I did. mentioned that above.
I get either country code error (or after correcting that per the wiki advice, I get long period of hang followed by an odd error 113. I think.
does device origin matter? my BA is from ebay and the getdeviceinfo.cab leaves me a blank result except model number and a few random numbers...
I take it that when everyone else flashed to WM5, they followed the simple Wiki instructions and everything went fine? I think I got some odd-ball sub-model that is resistant to Radio flash.
Downgrade Your BA to the WM2003SE, then unlock it with xda3_all_unlock-v1.6_138.exe tool (You can find it in the BA forum here with description how to use it) then try to flash the Radio ROM You want....And then You might upgrade to WM 5.x again if only You wish.
I've tried one of the other sim unlock apps already (successfully) without solving the problem (was tried on WM5). I'll try the order of downgrade, unlock, then upgrade and see if it works.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Jeremy how did it go? are you able to upgrade to the latest radio rom? I also have the same problem as you do. Do you mind telling me the steps if you somehow able to upgrade to latest rom?
this worked for me. after you flash to a new rom (like xplode's), do not take out the BA yet. flash to the new 1.15 radio rom. then you can do the no/yes/yes routine.
I'm trying to downgrade my radio firmware, but everytime I flash a lower version number radio it does not seem to take.
The flash completes fully, but when I look at the version number it is still at 1.54.30.10 which I am trying to replace with either 1.54.07.00 or 1.47.30.10.
Anyone know why this is happening and how I can reflash my radio?

Use MTTY and do a "Task 2a" then flash an official ROM.

That didn't work. The Radio version still is the same.
Any other ideas or maybe I just need more specific directions?
My phone is unlocked with the CheetahUnlocker (which I believe uses the HardSPL.)

Where does the 1.54.30.10 Radio ROM come from?
Palm or Hermes?

I believe it is a Hermes.
I'm sorry. I don't know the version of Hermes's ROM for recovering.
If you would be lucky, you might find it.
I have not done recover from Locked Hermes's Radio,
because I never flash Hermes's Radio to my Treo750.

How about radio 1.54.07 chaimd? I got it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1563015&postcount=1

I don't recommend 1.54.xx.xx.
Perhaps, Unlocked 1.48.xx.xx from Hermes might be able to downgrade.
My friends, who unlocked Treo750's SPL 6M before Hard-SPL, have several Treo750s.
One of his Treo750 has a fully locked Hermes's Radio. We can't reflash its Radio.
Is there any way through mtty to erase the radio rom so it will reload when a new rom is flashed?
Haven't really seen a definite answer here to the original post...
I actually am trying to do the exact opposite of the OP.
I currently have Radio: 1.54.07.00 and am wanting to upgrade to the 1.54.30.00 but can't do it anyway I try whether it's using RUU interface or placing on a formatted SD card and changing it to CHEEIMG.nbh.
It runs through the process, and acts as if it is updating/changing the Radio Rom, but nothing changes.
Can I change my Radio or not?
Treo 750 unlocked w/ CheetahUnlocker and Running WM6.1 Full version.
Thanks for the help!
btw, I read a lot of threads and posts... and read the Heremes Radio Wiki - just can't seem to find a definitive answer. Also when I flashed the Radio after using CheetahUnlocker it flashed the Radio w/o issue.
Run through the cheetahunlocker again (all stages, regardless if they error out).
Then use the kaiserRUU to load the new radio .nbh

Thanks tmknight... you're always helpful!
cheetahunlocker won't erase all my stuff on the treo if I recall correctly, right???
i'm pretty sure it won't, but it's been a while since I used it last...
thanks again
Please,after flash any version ROM and APPLY CheetahUnlocker (WM5 or WM6) my TREO view in Setting/System/About this:
WHAT IS WRONG???
EDIT:
With flash WM5,treo is VERY SLOW.....croling,open menu etc. se this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384531
With flash WM6 all O.K
Bootloader is CRASH?
After rest treo view error services.exe,slow thumbail on images not work AS synchronize NOT WORK and many
BUGs..HELP PLEASE
The problem
As alluded to by Chaimd, that particular radio is locked and will not allow for radio flashing unless an SPL is loaded which can perform an authentication function. I'm 99% sure no one has modified a cheetah SPL to do so. Someone like pof or olipro (oh boy are they gonna kill me for this) would be familiar with problem, but unlikely inclined to work on it since they don't have this device.
I haven't seen any workable method around it. The cheetah bootloader doesn't support task 2a.
sux...

Well, after many attempts - this does not work for me.
I can't even get to Step 3 of the CheetahUnlocker...it errors out after Step 2, and does not let me continue.
I read something about once you flash the 1.54.xx.xx Radio Rom you can't change it b/c the Cheetahunlocker has been able to authenticate the newer Radio roms or something like that... is that true??? It seems so, b/c I can't seem to get it to work.
any advice?
thanks again
I also have 1.54.01.00 but I don't know how i got this radio firmware, not a single internet connection on my treo is possible. No matter the version of Win Mob (6 6.1) I use, my Treo 750 just won't transfer data over either 3g or gprs. Calls / sms are possible though.
Wich rom causes to load 1.54.01.00 radio firmware on my treo 750 ? I really wanna know what i did wrong.
Well for everyone that is stuck with that nasty 1.54.01.00 i may have a solution.
I managed to downgrade my treo 750 radio firmware to 1.12.0c.00.
!!!AT OWN RISK!!!
-Run cheetahunlocker only step 1
-continue till the bootscreen (3 colors)
-Removed USB cable
-Don't click Start Update!
Ran official Desktop updater from palm (update version 2.27)
-Went to Temp files (Start --> execute --> type: %temp%
-Went to Palm dir --> 750RecoveryTool dir (is hidden) --> open T750URT (
treo 750 update recovery tool)
-Follow on screen instructions.. After this is got a rather old radio version
Will now try to run the Normal update again.

Sorry mate, seems it cannot be done with existing tools. I decided 1.54.30.10 is not very stabled and have tried several cobbled together methods to downgrade to 1.54.01.00, all with no success. Seems we must wait for someone with more skills and time to break this one open.

Nice find dude. Now there's hope for all who are stucked with radio 154xxx
Hi, i've bough a p3600 on ebay.
The seller tell me the phone is out because he flash a bad radio version on the phone.
I try to upgrade some file. ( Rom OS, Radio, SPL,etc ...)
I try the splexploit...
BUT ... The phone already stay on startup. i can see HTC startup screen,the windows startup screen ...but never the today screen.
I try hard reset, htc official rom, cookeed rom,...but when i flash a rom with "gsm", the update freeze at 13%
I try with usb and with sdcard..same thing, already stay at 13% !
But if i flash hard spl, 100%, if i flash OS, 100%, just the radio freeze at 13%
Any idea please ?
update
after the boot, i've got a "no gsm" message near the radio version
other people got the same problem like me ...
God oli, help me please
I more or less had the same thing and solved it with the sc card flash page.

Hi, updating the radio to 1.56 crashed, now I have the No gsm message and doesn't boot, running mtty from bootloader with info2 command it says supercid but I can't update any official rom SPA, WWE, ITA... the error is "vender id invalid". I've tried the sd method but returns to bootloader .
Any help will be appreciated.
You should try SSPL : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293632
And if it doesn't work the Des' Crash-Proof SPL :

and try to flash a radio rom again !
doesn't work
try again and again ...the phone block at 13% ( when the radio upgrade begin) ...
pfffff
I've the same problem and after several attempts without result I sent the phone to the workshop and they told me the problem is with the main board! (this cost almost the price of phone itself). Moreover, I've seen some where here that the problem could be caused by radio chip but I couldnt get the detail.
If you find a solution give me a tip.
i've test lot of thing.
I progress with mtty. but i've got a problem ..i can't downgrade the phone under SPL 1.05.
SPL 1.04 can "reset" the radio, or enter directly to the radio bootloader. With that, i can save my phone.
Try mmty (see the wiki => bootloader info) and with the mfg spl, you can try the method.
Guys,
I've got the same problem...
I've sim and cid unlocked my spv m700 some time ago, using wonderful software from pof. Everything went smooth.
Today I've decided to update radio rom to 1.38.00.11 to enable gps.
I've launched RUU, everything was ok till 44%, when I've got message "Communication error".
After that program tried to recover rom without success, I've got another message "Image corrupted"...
I've tried to reboot my spv (both SR and HR), after rebooting I see:
M 05
B 05 D 1.23
then those symbols disappear and I see only Orange logo.
That's it... The end...
Should I reload radio rom or both rom and radio rom to my DEAD spv? If yes - how?
Please help as I'm very disappointed, frustrated and so on!
Thank you!
Update: A-A-A!!! I did it! I revived my spv! Let me explain how (I'm kinda new to all this rom and and ssl things, so forgive me for mistakes, if there are any):
1 I ran unbrick software. Yesterday it did not work (said, that could not find smth), but today it worked fine.
2 I ran RUU and BINGO! That's it!
BTW, I have vista, but it still worked (I think, thanks to Windows Mobile Device Center, which I have installed).
Also, I killed wmd process in Task manager in the beginning (have read this recommendation somewhere).
Thanks to everybody for their help!
nyco,
could you please explain briefly what you did exactly and which radio and rom you used
thanks and regards
Flash HSPL, then issue task 2A command from mtty. Flash full ROM.
Thanks stepw...
when I hit task 2A nothing happens.
Original ROM doesnt respond. I flash with cooked ones. Result 100% successful. I restart the phone- hang at boot screen.

Hi,
I'm already under the hard SPL. and "task 2A" not working.
Macars, try only with radio ripped or full original rom (from htc or cooked with radio) because some cooked rom have only OS.
Can you tell me what SPL you have?
Hard SPL?
Have you try splxploit ?
Can you tell me what rom you try oviplokos1 ?
thanks,
it shows SPL 9.99 and with this I cannot flash anything so what I do is to update with splxploit and then the phone changes to SPL 1.2 olipro. With 1.2 I can only flash coocked ROM and will go until the end 100% successful- (original ROM the phone does not respond), but when restarts with newly loaded cooked ROM the phone hangs at window login screen and when put it in bootloader the SPL 9.99 returns again.... the story goes on like this.
I'm becoming mad....
hi,
you can only flash cooked rom because the rom you flash contains only OS. When you flash HTC rom, the rom contains os+radio+spl+....other thing ...
Try this method to downgrade your SPL (9.99) to oli 3.20 :
1°) run splxploit
2°)when the phone reboot on the spl 1.20 oli, run HardSPL 3.20 olipro. (search on the wiki or the trinity forum
3°)upgrade to 3.20 oli ...
Now, when you go to the bootloader, you can see SPL 3.20 oli.
Try reflashing a radio only (see the upgrading topic, you will see radio 1.56.xxxx)
Tell me if this method work.
When i'm on spl 3.20 oli, i can load radio rom to 0%
when I downgrade my phone to spl 1.05, and i can run the upgrading to 7% (best score )
To downgrade to SPL 1.05:
edit the "unbrick.bat" on the splxploit folder.
Replace TRIN_HardSPL.nb to TRIN_SPL105.nb
try to find SPL 1.04. I'm sure if i got the spl 1.04 i can revive the phone
Did exactly as you said final result:
When i'm on spl 3.20 oli, i can load radio rom to 0% (and stays there )
hi,
ok, try to load spl 1.05 with splxploit, and when it is load, run radio upgrade (1.56.xxxx)
Try to find spl 1.04 and mtty it can be reset the radio bootloader
if you find 1.04, give me it
hi nyco,
I tried with SPL 1.05 the result is the same as your reaches 7% and restarts. I'm still trying to find SPL 1.04 I found one for Hermes I tried but didnt work failed.

Hi all,
something goes wrong after flashed 1.56.70.11 on my phone, after logged into wm, there is no signal at all!!
I tried to downgrade to offical at&t firmware (GSM and ROM) but not work.
also tried to unlock radio by using cheetahunlocker, but athena unlocker always hangs at the last step.
anyone encountered similiar issue or know how to fix it?
ps. I have hard spl installed.
thank you!
==================Update 5/8 ==============
it looks like I flashed a corrupted radio firmware.... sigh...
even if I re-flash a correct radio firmware, it won't get back to work.
I am now going to send my treo back to repair
I encountered the similiar issue, I tried serveral ways to downgrade the radio including using mtty, but all did not work.
It's very neccessary to find a way to downgrade the radio to lower edition.
guys i have upgraded my blueangel to wm6.50.06
and am having problems it has a NO GSM..
anyone care to help?
info:
ph20b
bootlloader version 2.07
D 6.50.06
try to restar it... thats what i usually do when theres no gsm...
any other option?
Did you soft reset the device? When you take out the battery using a cooked rom you will always get "no gsm" when rebooting. One soft reset usually solves the problem.
If it doesn't try to install the latest version (1.15.00) from another source.
i have the same problem "no gsm", and I can not update radio.rom. By 0% I have error 114. In ce there is no radio.rom and imei. I have an older 2.05 bootloader, can it be a problem? how can I update it?
