I updated the Diamond with the new radio version .05 to use the device purchased in India on AT&T's network in the US. While I am able to see that the device is operating on the 850 band, I am still unable to make or receive calls some times in some areas.
Can anyone tell me how this can be fixed? Is a ROM update required along with a radio update?
its not required but you are running a new rom, right?
Thanks Blazeitup. The version of the ROM I am using is 1.37.720.2 that shipped with the phone. The radio version was 1.00.25.03 that I updated to 1.00.25.05.
After I did the hard SPL and updated the radio, the ROM version that I show when the phone starts is 1.37.00.00 but the ROM version in the "Device Information" is 1.37.720.2.
The signal strength is great but can not make or receive calls.
Cant help you with your problem but I will be facing the same problem soon...i do have a question for you though... after you upgraded your radio, was your phone still locked to airtel? I have it unlocked for vodafone india and i need to upgrade the radio to enable 850mhz.
Why dont you give .08 radio a try. It is newer than .05.
Give it a shot.
it might help.
Luck

I downloaded the ROM Update from the Siemens Website and tried to update my new SX66 (Just purchased from Cingular on the 10th, on an AT&T plan and SIM card still)
When I ran the update I received the Error:
"Error 120: Country ID Error XHWOF568-XHWOF568-50-50-50. The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check the Vendor Website and download the correct ROM update"
I contacted Siemens & they replied with: "Version 1.14.110 is the original version, and 1.33.110 is the updated version for Cingular customers.
If your version is 1.32.115, then you have the AT&T variant and your SX66 already has the latest ROM version installed. If you have any other version that is not listed and you get this error, then the update does not pertain to your version of phone."
So what does the error really mean? I've seen the Fix to add the line to the RUU.conf file, but unsure as to what the error really is telling me.
So do I have an Old phone? Should I return it and get a Cingular Plan Phone? Others at my office have the Cingular Plan/SIM SX66 and can install the 1.33.110 ROM with no issues...
If I install the 1.40.00 ROM will it work with my AT&T variant?
I'm still under my 30 days with Cingular to return the phone.
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I have been to the wiki.xda-developers.com website and have seen the work around for this.
I'm curious as to the ramifications of changing the Country ID if I have issues with the phone in the future if/when I change to a Cingular SIM/Plan
Thanks,

The work arounds of the Country code ID and Carrier ID are only to insure that you can flash your device with a rom that is not from your carrier.
The Idea of the carriers is not to produce an Upgrade of a rom and let other non same carriers users flash that. (well thats there idea)
This we don't like as most carriers don't provide the upgrades or if they do not in a language that you want them.
----> Hence the tool that FIXES that small issue.
The CE and radio rom is the same across all version,
Its the EXT rom that has the meat in it thus it needs to be cooked.
If you have issues with your device that you can't solve with a rom upgrade or cooking then you need to be able to flash the Providers rom back onto it.
This gives the Techys in the shop the warm feeling that the phone has not been messed with.
I have a baked rom, all three components are from different sources, it was shipped in Germany in German, is now WWE Rom and has swiss Sim.
If I need to take it back to Geramany I flash a T-mobile upgrqade on it and I am off.
Hope this helps
Hi all,
I recently updated to the official AT&T ROM on my 750. It updated the radio to 1.54.00.00 but I've been having lost signal issues in places where I used to get full signal. After looking through the forums, I've downloaded 1.54.07.00 to give that a shot. Only problem is, I'm not sure how to update just the radio.
Can anyone point me to some instructions on updating the radio?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Check out my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348271 as I figured it out.
N8NU,
Are you using Olipro's SPL bootloader?
I'm not using his bootloader, and was unable to flash the radio following your instructions. I've been doing some searching and haven't found how to update just the radio if you're not running a custom bootloader.
I'm assuming it's possible if Palm has a Recovery Tool that changes radio fw, although I'm not sure of it's inner workings.
Has anyone else had success flashing just the radio fw? I hate to be negative, but I'm having some issues with the official ATT WM6 ROM 2.25 with radio fw 1.54.27.00
Yes, I went through the unlocking process in the sticky. In the end however the radio was kept at v 1.2 something. So I added radio 1.5 and it works.
I´ve a HTC 3600 and installed Hard-SPL Olipro 1.20 then executed the application for releasing the Sim and CID restrictions of my HTC.
I keept the WM5 ROM and tested the device. The Sim is now unlocked, i suppose so is CID, how can I check this before installing a new cooked ROM?
My gps was working fine, now I can´t get gps signal, do I need a radio update? Which is recommended? Did the sim unlocking process downgraded my radio rom
ROM: 1.23.410.2
RADIO: 1.16.00.00
thanks in advance
you are right
Unlocking P3600 downgrades the radio...
Therefore you cannot use GPS until you upgrade the radio again.
Take a look here, http://trinityguides.info/index.php , choose a gps enabled radio and upgrade...
Thanks, I also thought that.
Which of the Radio Rom´s should I choose?
Radio 1.38.00.11
Radio 1.41.00.11
Radio 1.46.00.11/30.11
Radio 1.50.08.11
How I can I check if my CID was succesfully unlocked? I want to install a new ROM with a different language.
If you installed hard spl on your device, it doesn't matter if you have cid unlocked or not, cause hardspl let's you install any rom in any language.
As for the radio, it depend's on your carrier and the country you are in.
I see you are in Portugal so you can use the latest version (Radio 1.50.08.11), it works just fine for me.
Humm, I´ve read that the latest ROM cause mora battery drain than the others, is this true?
What improvements are present in the latest ROM´s compared to 1.38 ?
Ive been reading this message board for a couple days now and have read the stickys on how to install WM6 on my wizard. I have successfully unlocked and installed Faria's WM6 ROM. This is a G3 phone.
What I would like to know is if I should update my Radio or not. The current version it has installed is 2.25.11. My service provider is T-Mobile US. If I should update my radio could someone point me in the right direction for the correct Radio update for an HTC Wizard with T mobile US as the service provider.
*Edit* Title should read T-mobile MDA Radio update.
the radio version 2.69.11 reported as overall stable and minized battery drain. Can ben found here. Do not flash it with the 3.08 radio, your mda is probably G4 (dunno for sure) and this radio is only for G3 and you will brick your device.
I'm trying to find radio roms for my Vivid. (Telstra Australia varient)
I can't get 4g/lte, the phone radio just dies when I'm in 4g areas. I want to flash a new radio rom. Both Telstra (the phone) and the carrier I'm with Optus both use the same band/frequency and such I should probably just need to use any recent telstra radio rom.
I've searched but can't find any vivid radio roms. Where are they?

I'm not an expert, but I believe flashing radios is more of a hassle than regular ROMs. The radio is in a protected partition, which is not modifiable without S-OFF (or maybe some very specific and unknown code from the carrier). I also recall reading that the radio is on a different CPU (FCC regulations?), and that the phone first boots the radio through that CPU, and once that's ok, THEN the main CPU is activated to boot the rest of the phone. So if you screw up your radio, it could be very bad.
I found this thread kind of discussing flashing radios:
