I just got Orange SPV M700, and I wanna do the sim unlock by using the HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1.
I know this tool only flash the radio rom, and I am happy with the orange official rom, so how can I only flash back the orinigal radio rom? ( can't find the orange UK official rom any where)..
or how can i extract the radio rom from dopod WWE rom update file, and just flash the radio to the M700?
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295113
I use that rombaker and put only GSM inside. And I successfully update GSM alone. No need to reinstall other softwares.
how can you find only GSM file?
just got the GSM file~~updating now
done~~and i just update the radio with dopod new GPS-enable radio rom...great~~~
Will someone explain step by step how to do this? Maybe you can put it in the wiki.
- Where to get the necessary files
- How to run the upgrade, etc...
Maybe it's already described here and there in various posts but I suppose I am a bit thick....

I second that .
Any chance you'd upload a complete dump of your phone please siupiu.
I forgot to back mine up when I moved over to LVSW's modified version and I'd like to be able to flash back just in case I have to send it back to orange.
Really?

I've been looking for a way to upgrade to GPS asking if just by upgrading the radio I would get GPS enabled. Is that what you are saying you got?
Would you please explain in detail wich files did you use?
What is the "dopod new GPS-enable radio rom"? just the radio? or did you upgraded the full ROM?
Thanks for info.
i did it in another post..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296327
Any chance you could please dump your Full rom for those of us who forgot to do so ourselves? That way if anything untoward happens I'll be able to return it. (Thanks for the info on how to upgrade the Radio Rom on it's own)
I finally took the plunge and changed the radio using the process explained in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296327
(I skipped step 1 as my Trinity was not SIM-locked)
Then I edited the registry to show the GPS icon in the settings page.
Everything looks fine and my navigation software seems to find the GPS receiver but it reports an error and disconnects from the receiver. Has anybody successfully configured Wayfinder to work with the built-in GPS?
Update: can anyone who has only upgraded the radio part of the ROM confirm that this is enough to make the GPS receiver work? I have installed GPSinfo and this program doesn't seem to get any data from the receiver. Maybe upgrading the radio part only is just a waste of time?
I've updated only the radio rom but it seems nothing has changed!!!
of course, updated the radio rom only got a better phone and gps connectivity...

It will work on your Italian trinity too and regardless of version number. You can use the same or another it doesn't matter. That version number is used only by the upgrade program, the radio version will be reported according to what radio.nb you have used; if you use the dopod rom it will be 1.35.00.11

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?

My phone is unlocked with the CheetahUnlocker (which I believe uses the HardSPL.)

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.

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

cheetahunlocker won't erase all my stuff on the treo if I recall correctly, right???

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.

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
WARNING
This is a HTC test rom and was never given to the general public
Note the rom and radio version
This could be of intrest to cookers and rom hackers
http://rapidshare.com/files/1784304...9.405.2_Radio_52.46.25.26_1.08.25.23_Test.exe
I wonder if theres any difference in 3G bands.
This wouldn't be something i would want to just flash to right? I should wait for a rom cook? Is there a chance of bricking my phone trying it?
Anyone? Can i try out this rom on my phone without risking a brick?
The instalation brick at 13% for me, when i reboot, i have the tricolor screen of the bootloader so no problem to flash another rom but this one doesn't work for me
The SPL 1.14 olipro may be the problem?
Anybody have just the radio extracted from the ROM?
EDIT: I have modified the htcrt.exe tool and added blackstone to the configuration files. I will post the radio in a little bit.

All is well.
No luck with this rom then?
Among other things, there's MFG SPL 1.07 bundled with this RUU. Avoid!
probably you set radio value to 0x300 in htcrt. problem - it must be set to 0x301.

Is it possible to see if the ICR (in call recording) app is included in this rom like it was discussed in some other threads. They were talking about a test rom form HTC. And maybe could be extracted ?

Good afternoon, people!
Yesterday I wanted to renew my Radio firmware in my X1 and found a thread about new 1.14 radio. But I've got a lot of questions about how to do it and do I need to patch something, why do I need some dll's, what NK.exe patching is, etc. I've asked fards and he kindly explained everything(thank you again, dear fards!)
So now I just want to share the experience. Just to make some people's life a bit easier
Here it comes, the FAQ. It's 50% consists of fards answers and 50% of my knowledge. But my knowledge definitely owes this forum and fards
Q: What do I need to upgrade my Radio to the latest one? (it's for those who doesn't want to know technical details and wants just newer X1 radio, nothing more)
A:1. HardSPL your X1.
2. Go here and get whatever radio you want, but ONLY from "XPERIA X1 RADIOS" section.
3. Remember three things:
- FLASHING A RADIO SHOULD NOT DELETE/RESET YOUR PHONE INFO
- FLASHING A RADIO LASTS APROX. 1 OR 2 MINUTES ONLY
- YOU ARE FLASHING THIS RADIO AT YOUR OWN RISK4. Go through one of methods below:
1) MICRO SD FLASH METHOD
FIRST:
- Charge Xperia X1 > 50% (100% if possible)
- Prepare a micro SD card: format to FAT32 with default block size
- USB cable must be disconnected from PC or power outlet (mains)
STEPS:
- Rename the radio file to KOVSimg.nbh
- Copy to micro SD card's root directory
- Insert micro SD card in the phone
- Remove and reinsert phone battery
- Go to bootloader mode (hold vol key + power key)
- Follow on-screen instructions
- When flash finishes remove/insert batter and power on
Not flashing?
a) Format another micro SD card (FTA32, default block size) and try again
b) Use the RUU method from PC
2) RADIO UPDATE UTILITY (RUU) FLASH METHOD
FIRST:
- Charge Xperia X1 > 50% (100% if possible)
- Be sure your phone is connected to PC
(XP: activesync, Vista: Windows Mobile Device Center)
- Win Vista: install latests .NET frameworks and WMDC 6.1
STEPS:
- Download the RUU FOR XPERIA X1
- Extract the RUU files to a folder
- Copy only one radio file to that folder
(renaming the *.nbh file is not required)
- Run Xperia X1 RUU app
- Follow on-screen instructions
- When flash finishes disconnect USB, reinsert batter and power on
Q: Where can I view current radio version?
A: In Start->Settings->System->Device Information->Radio version.
Q: Where can I check and get latest radios for my Xperia?
A: In our forum's Xperia library at "III - TRANSMITTER RADIOS" section.
Q: What's the difference between "Xperia X1 Radios" and "RADIOS FROM OTHER HTC DEVICES", can I use it?
A: Just to make things clear: "Xperia X1 Radios" are taken from different X1 ROMs(so it's X1-compatible by default), "RADIOS FROM OTHER HTC DEVICES" are correspondingly from other HTC devices(so generally it needs things to be done with it to be X1-compatible). BUT there are already done those "things" with radios from different HTC devices(Hex-edited, adapted and tested on a security-unlocked Xperia X1) in our Xperia library, so those radios are already X1-compatible too.
Q: What radios can I practically(with or without damage) flash into my Xperia?
A: You always can flash your original(ROMs) radio. But to flash another radio(not from your current ROM) you need to change HardSPL on your X1 once. Then you can flash any radio you want, but with risk of doing much damage.
Q: Where 1.14 radio came from? Is this radio custom or "handmade"? Or it came from R3A? Where is it from and why SE isn't updating it?
A: Its from lantin american R2AA015 rom... Id expect a newer one with r3 when its released.
Q: What radio is the best one so far?
A: I think the 1.14 is the best radio so far, it is a bit battery greedy, but it does work very well.
Q: After I flash this radio(or the previous one - 1.11.25.76), do I need rilphone.dll to copy to my phone with R2A010?
A: Its not essential but as newer radios are released then different commands seem to added to the RadioInterfaceLevel hence RILphone so ireckon its a good idea.
Q: As I've understood, this rilphone.dll is not the same as patching radio and doing some magic with mysterious NK.exe, right? So even if I want to flash radio version 1.11.25.76, having version 1.06.25.29, I should change this dll? Where should I find it for any listed there Xperia Radios?
A: The rilphone is an translator from the standard windows RIL.dll to the new radio part.
as new radios come out they can (but not always) contain new commands, so it makes sense to use the new rilphone from the same rom as it has those new commands in it, so that the OS can make use of them.
This is why it seems it's best to use the same rilphone as the radio version. I'd imagine the rilphone would come with the rom that the radio was originally taken from.
For example the R2 roms have a new radio attached, so if you flash that rom you'll automatically get the correct rilphone.
Q: Do I need to make a hardreset after I flash the radio?
A: No, hard reset is only for full ROM not radio.
Q: I saw some info about mysterious NK.exe and some radio patching. Why do I need it? Only for making radios from another phones working with mine? For example, if I have Raphael radio and I want it to work on my X1 - I should patch it, am I right? But what if I have XPERIA X1 RADIO from this link? Should I patch it?
A: Patching the NK.exe is really for running unsigned Dll files and exes (from startup or during boot at least) as NK checks the intergrity of core system files I think.. It is just ones loaded during startup I think as When you're in windows the registry settings or certifcates (such as the ones skcert.cab installs) take over.
So you don't need it for just the radio part, but really for the rilphone.dll this stops it from being overwritten by the signed exisiting one in the rom. HOWEVER. using driverwiz (from chainfire) gets around this, as that prog signs the files with a "dummy" certificate, so windows recognises it's signed and uses it..
Most of the custom roms (even the ones that are done by people who don't know what they're doing and just press a button) should contain a patched NK as it's part of the kitchens. It's pretty much essential on a custom rom otherwise you couldn't add anything to it!
If you still have some questions and want more info, take a look at this Radio thread, it's "full of useful info" (c) fards.
And I think anyone can ask radio questions in this thread. And if anybody helps you - I'll edit the first thread and add there his answer.
P.S.: This is post is owned for emergency info
Nice one, thanks!
Q: Where 1.14 radio came from? Is this radio custom or "handmade"? Or it came from R3A? Where is it from and why SE isn't updating it?
A: Its from lantin american r2 rom... Id expect a newer one with r3 when its released.
You shouldt edit this the radio came from LatinAmerica LAM R2AA015

have any of you heard of whats a better Radio ROM for use in South east asia or maybe probably china. the new 1.14 ROM is fine on its gps lock. but i still experience signal drops which is extremely annoying. i would send a text only to find out the sending failed bec the signal dropped again. i think this is due to the fact that the x1 never really officially got into China. any suggestions?
hi..i have a question..could you please define first rilphone.dll,and what does it do?where can i download it?i have installed the latest radio (as of now) 1.14,where could i download the appropriate rilphone.dll for it..thanx,this thread i hope could answer most of newbies having their x1..

In 1.14 thread.
my bad, i missed that part,hehe. thanx bro 4 the answers
Correct me if i am wrong
But i think that you must have hard-spl your phone to flash any radio this include original xperia radios...
Actually you can only flash without hard-spl only if you flash the full original rom image that include the radio, os, splash1, splash2 and of course the corresponding original spl inside....
Q: What radios can I practically(with or without damage) flash into my Xperia?
A: You always can flash your original(ROMs) radio. But to flash another radio(not from your current ROM) you need to change HardSPL on your X1 once. Then you can flash any radio you want, but with risk of doing much damage.

he meant "without much damage" it's a typo
However
if you install a bad radio then there's lots of things that can go wrong..

I think it wasn't a typo. I wrote 'any' radio, so the risk does exist if it will be 'bad' radio, like fards said.
There is written which radios are good to flash, but somebody may get radio from iphone for instance(i know it may be impossible, but just for you to understand) and flash it in X1 without any chance for it to work. That's the damage. Flash only checked radios to prevent any damage. And as usual, you do it on your own risk.
WTF... when following your guide how to flash via RUU Update, my phone made a hard reset. But the newer radio is installed. Weird...
This seems to be a few stupid question that i cannot find answers to.
Why flash one radio over another? What does updating my radio do for me?
Also I live in the US and if i flash a radio will it change the 3g bands available to me?
Thanks.
well, this might be the singel most dumb Q but ayway; what does a new radio do? im new to this.
Well, so far as I know it affects the whole recieve/transmitter section of the phone. As in, phone, 3g/hsdpa, bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc.
I am still running 1.10.25.18. I don't have any issues atm, but are people experience any improvements in later radios?
ty for that info. sonds like it would ock my world.
currently i have like the worse reseption/no reseption at my appartment and i live in the middle of a big city.
please upload radio update utility
sooooo where do i find the radio that i just flashed?
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my radio rom. At first everything seems fine but after the upgrade process is at about 30%, I get error no. 114. I think that maybe a part of my rom is broken, so I'd like to change the allocation of my roms. I'd like to have the extented rom part as new radio rom and vice versa.
Is that possible? If yes, how is it done?
thx for your help
PECK
sorry to disappoint you, but no, that is not possible.
start the other way around, do not try to bypass a problem by creating a new one, try solving the problem first. why would the radio rom abort in the middle of the upgrade process?
- do you use the right upgrade tools?
- do you use the right radio rom?
- did you take care of everything else there is about upgrading a rom (bootloader, active sync kill...)?
- are you able to flash another os rom?
...whatever comes to mind when flashing roms, because this problem will not be any different after all.
@ chef_tony:
I've no problem with upgrading the OS or the extented rom! thats why i think that maybe the flash chip is broken!
I tried many different upgrading tools, even one of yours!
I don't know the current language id of my device! Originally it was a german XDA III! How can I check the current language id and how can I change it? is it possible that I have this problem because of a wrong language id?
thx in advance
PECK
i would guess it couldn't have anything to do with the country id, error 114 is radio rom update error.
btw, you get to see the inofficial country id everytime you soft reset the device, and in the bottom right corner it says something like WWE, or GER, for instance. or, when you connect the device and run getdevicedata.exe from the ruu folder, which is done before the upgrade, to show you the "from:" and "to:" numbers.
but: i just got another idea.
do you actually take out the sim card, before trying to upgrade the radio?
is your device sim unlocked?
have you played around with different bluetooth stacks?
have you performed a hard reset before trying to upgrade the radio?
have you tried upgrading the radio from the stock o2 rom wm2003?
ok, that was more than one idea, and downgrading seems like a lot of work, but it is worth a shot. if you spend days flashing (or trying to) over and over again anyways, you might as well try that, would mean 2 extra upgrading sessions, but what is that, like an hour?
oh, and what radio rom does the device have now, stock? or is it a newer one already?
and why do you think you need to upgrade the radio rom anyways? phone not working, maybe the problems lie deeper and that could be why the upgrade process can't work in the first place!
"don't confuse an original symptom with the sickness from the drugs we gave him" as dr. house, would say
hi,
the device is unlocked! there was no sim card inserted during the upgrade; i just tryed with one but I get the same error at 32% progress...
it doesn't work with the original rom, also!
it would be fine if the stock rom was installed, but unfortunately i don't have installed any radio rom whatsoever!
windows mobile device information says that i don't have a radio rom and no protocol installed!
oh, for pete's sake, i'm sorry.
when i asked you about the sim card being inserted, i thought of taking the card out, if you hadn't done before, should have written that. many people have problems when having a sim card or sd card inserted, i didn't want to suggest to put one in! that can never do good, either nothing happens or it gets worse, i really shouldn't have forgotten that.
it doesn't work with the original rom, also!

yeah, but does the stock rom itself work? i mean, the stock rom is a so called baked rom, meaning it contains a rom, an extrom and a radio rom, while the cooked roms here only contain the actual rom, so the os. i mean, you could try and extract the radio from the stock rom and try and flash that. it would give you a radio back! or if that doesn't work either, try flashing the entire stock rom, if that works without problems and then you'd have a radio, it means that your issue is too strange to think about, but still you can delete the extrom again and flash another rom without harming the original radio.
wouldn't that be a step forward?
btw. what radio rom are you trying to flash?
if it is just one, you try over and over, are you absolutely certain, this is for the BA? which version is it? what was the original file name of the exe? where did you get it? have you tried re-downloading it, maybe the file is really broken!
hi,
i tryed many different rom versions, and i'm pretty sure they are for the blueangel!
do you know, where i can get a cooked rom for my xda 3?
first, to be clear about that, as mentioned before, cooked roms consist only of the operating system itself and contain neither a radio rom nor an extrom. so about every rom offered here is a cooked rom. but that won't solve your problem, since, as mentioned, there is no radio included. that is why i suggested for you to try the original radio from the shipped rom, and then the entire shipped rom, to determine, whether the radio rom flashes, when it comes after an nk.nbf rom, which would mean, that from now on, you'd have to "bake" roms yourself, by taking cooked roms and adding the radio, so to not lose it. when you can actually flash wm2003 you can also try flashing other radios with the original BAupgradeut, because in contrast to os roms, there should be no limitations to the radio roms, as far as i know.
