The link doesnt work for me faria. I just went to the ftp site and manually downloaded the rom.

I cant access the FTP site. It keeps asking me my usnername or something so I figure the xda login name right, but it doesnt work. Can someone upload it somewhere thanks

Thanks
Download works fine for me. Just put xda in for the password. I'll check it out and see if its a reasonable alternative for the 2.19.11 rom and my Cingular service!

Thanks, I finally was able to download it. One question before I upgrade. Maybe Faria can give his input. I am a T-mobile user currently on the 2.19.11 radio rom. This seems to be the best one overall for me since it allows both data and voice calls at the same time, there are no missed calls. But reception/signal is somewhat not good. Does this new radio give better reception for T-Mobile as well as allowing both data and voice?
Thanks

Great radio rom but isn't 2.69.11 newer then 2.40.11?

Well, right, it is newer most likely. The thing is, newer isn't necessarily better for each person's circumstance. Radios are tuned for particular providers in particular places and are usually matched with particular roms. However, in my case for example, with Cingular US service, and WM6 roms, my experience and that of many others is that the 2.19.11 T-mobile UK rom is the best. The others were inconsistent in alerting me to incoming calls and pending voicemails. However the data and sound was better with the newer radios. For me not missing calls was most important, so I stick with the older rom. But, this is a new one for me, and hope springs eternal, so I'll probably give it a try and see if I can have the best of both worlds like those T-Mobile guys.
Regards,

working well on farias "the real thing"?

From what I understand, 2.69.11 is the latest released German Radio rom, but 2.40.11 is a US released rom. So this may work better for US customers. I hope we can use 2.40.11 with WM6!

testing
in the midwest US of A baby.. smoke you!

Just installed it! I will post back my results.

Since I finally experienced the awful delay in SMS receiving on the 2.69 radio ROM (after several weeks of success, I missed 4 important text messages in an hour's timeframe), I'm game for this. Downloading now...

So far my signal seems to be much better than 2.19 radio. but only time will tell.

I too am now noticing a delay\lack of SMS\Voicemail Msg after WEEKS of 2.69 working like a charm. I thought I was one of the lucking ones but now I am not so sure. Who knows how long this has been happening. Anyway, downloaded and installing right now.

Working great on WM2005 .
thanx Faria .

by the way...this is a US radio.....sorry i cant name the carrier at the moment.

I've installed this on my Cingular 8125 on the Cingular network last night. I received a test sms and another SMS from a friend in a timely manner. All test calls I've put through have worked so far. I was even downloading a webpage with Opera and phoned in and the call came through. So far so good... Tomorrow (Monday) will be the real test when I'm back to work, but I'll try to give it a workout today.

thanks for the info so far and please continue to post information on this rom and its working with wm6
P.S.-Sorry for not being able to also post information but in what i do missing a call/calls or missing a sms/sms' would cost me alot of $$$$$...(so thanks for being guinea pigs...poor pigs lol)

First timer dumb question
Hi. I am running Nottoosmart's system with radio 2.19. Things have been pretty stable, but there are times when I've had to reboot in order to reacquire the phone carrier after sleep (e.g. softreset). Also, subjectively I believe I have some signal problems when in places where there is already a weak signal.
So, bottom, line, I am considering trying this radio.
But, I have never flashed a radio before and I'd like to avoid having this become a "federal project." So a few questions:
1. I can flash the radio back and forth (e.g. ->2.40, ->2.19) *without* touching the OS (e.g. wm6 rom/ram), is that correct?
2. There are several executables in the zip: EnterBootloader.exe, romupdateutility.exe, RUUGetInfo.exe; I realize there are tutorials ad infinitum posted here, but can someone help me save some time by letting me know how to install the radio, do I just run "romupdateutility" over activesync, or is there more to do?
Please don't flame. I am an engineer, just not experienced in burning radios to MDA's. I assume the radio goes into a portion of rom that is dedicated to the phone processor of the OMAP chip?

Hello,
1) You can flash the Radio rom without messing with the OS. All of your settings and files will not be affected. It does not require a hard reset.
2) Just run the romupdateutility.exe. It works the same when you flash a new os rom, it just takes a fraction of the time due to the fact you are only flashing the radio. I just connect via USB and let activesync do its thing then run romupdateutility.exe, the program will kill activesync itself.
I hope this helps.

In Call Volume issues...

Hi, this is my first time posting on this forum but I have nowhere else to go! I have had an XDA mini now for a few months and it has got to a stage now where I can only hear the other caller by using a bluetooth headset.
My question is would a new ROM affect this, is it the O2 ROM particularly bad? I am wary of flashing the ROM and want to know if a fresh one would make any difference at all.
I have also read up about Radio ROMS, can I just replace this?
Sorry for all the questions, I hope you guys can help!

Welcome to XDA-Developers.
If your in call volume has gotten steadily worse over time, it may be a hardware issue. Before you go trying to flash a new ROM you may want to try backing up your personal data and then doing a hard reset first and see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't then flashing a new ROM probably won't help much either.
If you do decide to try flashing a new ROM then make sure you read and re-read the posts on CID unlocking first and make sure you know what you're doing because doing it wrong can turn it in to a nice expensive shiny brick.
You asked if you can replace Radio ROM's, the answer to that is yes. There are plenty of them around here that you can try out. You might try changing to a different radio ROM first before trying a hard reset, but since you said it's been getting steadily worse I'm thinking that it's probably not your problem. I could be wrong about that though.

Thanks for the reply!
I wouldnt say 'steadily worse' but when I got it it was ok and kept going from normal to whisper quiet, like it was a problem with the signal, now its stuck at whisper quiet. I have done many a hard reset and this worked first time around, but then the cycle repeated itself. Now a hard reset does nothing.
Could it be a speaker connection? Also friends have reported that although I can hear them properly on handsfree (built in), they cannot hear my voice very clearly. Seems an odd combo to me....but hey what do I know!
Could you recommend a radio rom or is it a case of trial and error?

Radio ROMs are kind of a trial and error thing, what works for one person in one area might not work so well for someone else in another. It depends on who your carrier is and where you're located. Try 2.19.11 first, it seems to be the one that works for the most people. If that one doesn't work well, try 2.47 and/or 2.69 next as they seem to be the next runners up.

awesome! will give it a go and let you know!
Thanks again!

sorry to be a pain! but where do I get the rom from?

From this forum. Make a search

didn't see that link! Cheers!!

didn't see that link! Cheers!!

I am gonna sound like a complete muppet now but how do i install a radio rom. To complicate things more I am a mac user, but have an intel mac so can run windws stuff if necessary.
Sorry to hassle but im not much good at this stuff!

I don't know anything about mac's, but if you can run windows programs like you said, connect your phone to your sync cable and then run the ROMUpdateUtility that is included in the zip file and just follow the instructions. It's easy, and since I'm guessing that you haven't done this kind of thing before, when the rom update utility runs it will tell you that you will lose all your information on your phone. You can ignore that, you won't lose anything. The same utility is used for installing entire ROMs in which case you would lose everything, but not when just updating a Radio ROM.

thanks for the info. Downloaded the radio Rom suggested, ran the utility but it tells me it cannot update and to get a newer version of the update utility. I have looked into this and it seems my Wizard is a G4 model, is there an update utility for this? if so where can I find it!
Thanks in advance!

dont worry found it on the G4 forum! Installed it and I can hear again! Never thought I would get it fixed! Thanks for all our help! It is no longer in danger of flying against the nearest wall!

Audio issue, please help

I did a search under "audio" and "search", and couldn't find anything or suck at searching.
I'm using the AT&T Tilt which I did the WM 6.1 upgrade minus bloatware and am running KaiserTweak. Other than that, everything is factory.
I can talk on my phone just fine and it rings without issue, but all other sounds are muted. The alarm only vibrates even though sound is also selected, no sound for music, no ques on my bluetooth (ie, "Say a command"). I'm sure it's something easy and I'll feel stupid, but can anyone help me out?
In addition, my display will dim and the only way to brighten it again is to blank the screen and then turn it back on (I haven't searched this yet).
Thank you very much, Peter.

Now for my next trick an even stupider (is that a word) question --- How do I tell what redio I'm using?
I'm reading threads about Radios and the different versions available, but I still haven't found how to determine which one I'm using.
Thanks

Have you done Hard SPL, if so try some of the other Radios, they might work

I'm not sure what HardSPL is ... Noob.
I'm also searching to see how you install a new radio. There are just so many posts here that you have to search through pages of search result after search result to find this stuff.
I'm looking at going to the 1.65.24.36 radio, but I've read that you have to have HardSPL, which I still don't know what that is, and it says its the NIKI network, and I don't know if that means I can't run it on the AT&T network.
Confusing and overloading at the same time.

Hard SPL allows you to flash you phones ROM with Images other than the ones provided by your carrier.

If the Radio is listed in this thread and is for the same WM version it should work. All the other info is where it was ripped from, it only goes in the thread if it works.
However, all that aside, if you have just upgraded the ATT stock ROM, none of that should be needed. Can you re-check all of the Sound and Volume options in Start>Settings and the Drop down from the volume option on the today screen.
Thanks
Dave

Yes, it's just the stock WM 6.1 ROM. I'm not interested in being a power user, I just want the very basic improvements. This may change down the road, but everything with the exception of sound works great.
In the Sounds & Notifications settings. Events, Programs and Notifications are checked but not Screen Taps or Hardware Buttons. When I click on the "Speaker" icon, both the device and phone settings are at max and on.

I dunno then, maybe another ATT user will come along and have some more help, sorry
Dave

Thanks Dave, I appreciate your help. I'll probably just hard reset it and see what happens. Thanks again.

Maybe the bloatware install was interrupted to early?

Absolutely a good idea, especially if you've just upgraded ROMs (always a good idea to do a hard reset after a ROM upgrade anyway as a matter of course). If you interrupted the configuration/bloatware install at the wrong place, that may explain why some of your sounds aren't working also. Try the full uninterrupted install, test the sound in all the areas where it currently doesn't work properly, then work backwards doing another hard reset and interrupting it at the 'right point' until your sounds are there but not the things you don't want.

The OP was 100% correct. He sucks at searching.

Hey m8 i have a same problem as U! I tryed everything but nothing. I dont know how to solve this one. I also tryed every fck version of radio and even original htc OS. I also tryed with hard reset but didn't help. I also have topic in General area - Sound problem - DEATH! so...u are not alone

Hard reset worked, so I'll just hope it's not reoccurring.

the bottom line here folks..

ok so i have a wizard.. a g3, and i've done it all now.. i've tried all the roms (amp, snn, hornet.. brushed)
and with each came it's flaws, whether it was battery consumption, irratic or unintended operation, or missed calls.
i finally settled on a rom (TNT something or other) that i liked, i liked the rainbow at the top giving battery status.. altho it began to chew the battery like a hungry dog on food scraps. and then i checked my voicemail, just arbitrarily.. EIGHT NEW MESSAGES. turns out the whole world was calling, and leaving voicemails, and i was completely unaware! (yet another rom busted)
i'm in the process (actually just finished) reflashin my original cingular rom back on the phone.. i have thrown in the towel.
so i have started this thread, to see, if one of the mega-brains around here has some ideas for me.
i read somewhere that changing radios might help.. but i don't understand why i have to change radios; this one worked before i started dickin with this phone!
so the question is: should i have gone forward with this radio changing, would it have really helped? or is every rom out there just too buggy to deal with? am i really better off attempting to cook my own, or should i just leave the whole damn thing alone and upload HTC home customizer and smartskey, like i had back in 2006..?
i mean i've lost everything at one point or another; stability went away with some roms (crashing everywhere), most every rom lost the MMS capability (could send, never receive), most every rom lost the ability to send an email from an SMS (Which was big for me, but i think it was related to wm6) now the rom i'm using (which is not the one in my signature) doesn't receive calls, missed calls, voicemails, and most text messages.
was all that i have learned on XDA a bust, or is there ONE MORE TWEAK that i needed to perform that would have made my phone... a phone again?

I would just keep looking until you find a rom that suits your needs.
I've used these two roms for some time and both work realy well with my G3 Wizard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345205&highlight=wm5se
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395173
The first if you like cube thingy, the second I use now because it is very very stable, good battery life 2-3 days of use and 5+ days on standby.
Never missed a call, loads of memory and storage I can not fault it at all.
P.s. my radio is 02.07.10

I'm with the original poster, I have a G3 wizard and almost ALWAYS miss phone calls, NEVER get informed of messages, and I can't justify the inability of the phone to work as a phone for the gadget end of the deal. I have the TNT WM 6.1 build 20273.1.3.3, Radio 2.71.11
OS 11.0.4.0
ipl\spl 2.26

The general consensus here (this issue has been discussed over and over in this forum) is that radio 2.19.11 is the most stable, and should solve your missed calls/messages problem. It solved mine.
By all means, Cook your own ROM. It's the only way to get the ROM you want and it's not that hard. It only took me downloading and flashing 2 ROMs before I said "to heck with this I'm cooking my own".

so
you say if i were to have gone to the 2.19 radio i would have finally beeen happy? i mean missed MMS messaging and phone calls and voicemails and all?
what about decreased cell phone reception i have read about?

as you see it... im memeber since 2006 and im not a knowledge guy! BTW my work is too light for the development here if many people thinks this kind of toughts maybe they need to examinate again their questions.
I help to everybody but this kind of questions have made once...

cause there is no a way or a threat that allow to blame somebody imagine that the BLAME THREAD jajaja you have your OWN point of view cause you reed waht you wanted.

I had the same issues... missed calls, voicemail, text message alerts not appearing all due to one thing, wm6 and 6.1. One thing that helped me out was to have data connection (GPRS/EDGE) turn off automatically after a set ammount of time and BAM! no more missed calls. Advanced Config program will do it easily or GB-SOFT Tweak. Hope that helps! Also, 2.19.11 radio only helps a little also....

Talk about jumping to conclusions. I am using WM6 and since I loaded radio 2.19.11 I NEVER have missed calls or messages....
When I got my phone and it had WM5 it was the worst performing PocketPC I've ever had. Now, with WM6 it is the BEST performing PocketPC I've ever had.

New Phone
Don't you just wish you had a new phone whenever you wanted? I do.
Every time I flash a new ROM (and I flash OFTEN) I get a brand new phone to play with. (I'm not an addict, I just do it because it's fun )
If I just wanted a phone that worked I could use any non-smart phone. They all have PIM's now and lots of them have QWERTY keyboards.
I agree that there does not seem to be any perfect ROMS and that statement includes the OEM's. A complex device makes it nearly impossible for everything to be perfect (just look at the desktop version of Windows!)
Sometimes I too get frustrated when I flash the latest and greatest and find out it's missing something I "need" and have to start the process all over.
But, when I can afford my new Fuze, I'll still be here screwing with it!
Just my 2 cents.
(Hi! I'm Rob and I'm a ROM flashing addict....)

Well....... I never had missed calls with wm5 but the os generally performed poorly so it's a matter of what you value more having missed calls or better os performance. No jumping to conclusions here. I have trouble shooted this issue for several months. And I'm not the only one one with missed calls while data connection is active. Do and search and see the countless threads on this repeated issue. Plus, it could be a provider related issue but seems to be with both at&t and tmobile us customers. Glad you don't have issues though...

i think you are right because.. there's something that is different from 5 to 6. for some reason my gay AT&T needs to switch data connections to do different things. like if you connect to ATT data to surf PIE lets say.. then you decide to send an MMS.. it will have to unconnect then reconnect..? and wm6.1 rarely decides to do that on it's own (like when someone sends you a picture message)

By blaming your problems on WM6, you're jumping to conclusions...You really don't know what's causing your problems. If it was WM6 then I'd be having problems too, but I'm not, so how could it be WM6?
I could say that it must be your connection settings that is causing you problems when ATT switches connections for an MMS, but then I'd be jumping to conclusions even though that's a more likely cause than WM6 having a blanket problem.

AT&T 3G Connection Issues

Hello everyone,
I have done a ton of google searches and spent about an hour reading through threads of people with similar problems. I have flashed a few roms and different spl/radios etc. Nothing seems to fix the problem.. Nor have I seen anyone in a post had their problem fixed either - they were just criticized and told to search the forums or read a generic faq on flashing radios..
Anyways, after reading all that and trying a few different radios nothing seems to help.
My device, while connected to 3G, can usually make 1 call when it first connects, then each call thereafter will fail with a beep beep beep.
I am running 3.29.Hard spl
Rom Version TPC_V10_MEGA WWE
Radio Version 1.70.18.02
Protocol Version 25.83.40.02W
Has anyone found a successful combination to correct their issues with the 3g network and their tilt? If you have no issues and have the same phone please post your build.
I have flashed from original roms and a few diff radios to no avail .
I really want my damned 3g to work.. and no I dont want to just manually switch to EDGE (which is what I have my phone forced on now).
Thanks in advance.

same here
I have had the same issue. The phone will show H or 3G and you cannot make a call. I have just accepted using the edge system to keep the phone working fine. The only thing you loose is the faster internet speed the phone otherwise works fine. I have assumed that I dropped the phone and something happened to the antenna. I contacted HTC about the issue and they say it is a hardware issue even though I have seen many speak of the same issue. I have the tilt.

I thought I did the same thing until I started searching and see that there are numerous people with the same issue.
I will just be patient and wait until a new winmobile phone comes out with a oversized screen! Hope the next xperia is that

Radio Issue
I had the same problem with that radio. I changed back to the 1.65 radio and everything worked properly again. I hope this helps.

See my sig for what I am running. I have run TPC's roms as well as others and almost every 6.1 compatible radio there is and have never encountered that problem.
Have you tried to go back to stock everything, rom radio and spl to see if that makes the difference ?
