Radio question - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I unlocked my tilt last night with "KaiserUnlocker"...it worked great.
During the process it flashes a differant radio to the phone....Do I need to reflash the original radio version or just leave it as it is. The phone is working as it should so I wasn't sure if it made a differance.

if ain't broke, why change?
just keep it...i'd say...

There are a few threads about reflashing back to your original radio version after unlocking so I figured I'd ask the senior members on here.
but I tend to agree with you

If you used the method that flashes a special patched Radio. You have to flash a new radio otherwise most of your phone won't work.
There is a list of WM6.0 and WM6.1 Radios in the Kaiser Radios link in my Sig. Just flash one. If you have camera of sound/volume trouble flash another one.
BTW, to avoid another thread like the one in ROM Development, normally you post in the thread you have a problem with. (The rules are also in my sig, if you want - under Naked Chicks).

It's on the wiki, not a thread. I've added my sig to the above post, not sure why it wasn't there.

Thank you for answering my question.... the phone seems to work (calls & texting) but I can't find things on it that were in the menu's

I flashed the original radio (1.64.08.20) and the phone has sound until I make a call. Then all sound stops.
I then flashed differant radios trying to get it to work and nothing.
Here's the radio's I flashed trying to get it to work again:
1.65.24.36
1.65.20.29
1.65.17.56
1.65.17.10
1.65.14.06
1.65.16.25
1.65.08.25
any idea what may be wrong? All was ok until I unlocked it with the KaiserUnlocker.

Thank you Dave,
I tried the 21.18 radio and still nothing.... I'm downloading the 21.14 now and was going to try that.
I do not know exactly what AT&T ROM is on the phone. It is stock from AT&T as far as I now. The guy I bought the phone from only had the phone 3 months and he wasn't very technically savy lol so I don't think he changed anything on it.
Would it help if I just replaced the whole rom?
EDIT: Image version says 3.53.502.0

Might do. If you want to stick with the ATT ROM then use the one from that thread & then install Hard SPL 3.56 as per my previous post.
Oh and when flashing, when you get to the "Tap here to begin customisation..." prompt, do a Hard Reset. This should be done evrey time you flash any ROM.
I'm offline for a bit now, I'll try and pop back before I go to bed, GL, if you still have prob's there's a few good guys online, hopefully they'll get it sorted.

Thanks for posting it...good stuff
New Rom
Has anybody tried this Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay - I love this firmware
Step 1: Find where it extracts it in the TEMP folder.
Step 2: Change the payloads.xml file to reflect your software version and extension. and right when it starts flashing. FOR EXAMPLE READ BELOW
VERSION: 1.16 (if you have 2.25ATT) change it to 2.25 and then change the top part from RWE to ATT) then right when you hit continue and it restarts the phone in bootloader mode. change the ATT tag back to RWE and then from then on you can flash RWE from then on. and you will have an unbranded flash. i will post pics later of the process. im at work

I'm using this for more than a month now.
Only difference to 2.23 is radio 1.54.01.00.
Still very stable firmware, no problems at all.

Is it supposed to be RWE or ROW?
Ive download the Desktop version but gives me an error everytimg I try to extract it. Anyone knows why?
Anyway here's the error:
"C:\Temp Files\Etc\Treo750_2_27_ROW_EN_Desktop.zip: Cannot create folder
Results\APAC_Special\
Cannot create a file when that file already exists."
use 7zip, the issue is that the actual exe is several levels deep and the built in windows zip tool can't handle it.
Anyone else having problem with the battery icon on the Today page as far as it staying full all the time but when tapping on it, it reports a correct percentage? I upgraded from 2.23 ROW. I also upgraded the radio to the latest, the hermes one.
replace this file for a better battery icon:

Rom Identification for a Noob

I am trying to find information regarding the Rom that is on my HTC 8925.
When the phone boots up I do have a splash screen that says Dutty's Series.
I go into Settings>System>Device Information to find:
ROM version: Touch v6.1 WWE
ROM date: 02/19/08
Radio Version: 1.70.OliNex
Protocol version: 25.65.30.04h
What ROM do I have and where can I have find some information regarding this ROM? I have done some searches for Touch v6.1 WWE and Dutty v6.1 WWE, but to no avail.
Thank you in advance.
from the ROM date and the fact that u have a dutty's splash screen (which doesnt really accurately show what rom you are using) this would most likely be your rom.

I am pretty green, when it comes to modifying anything like this. Plus, I do not want to do anything that I could possibly render my phone useless for awhile, since I do not know what I am doing.

Ill help you out. What you do is go into the radio thread and down load a different radio. I use 1.65.21.18 with Josh's new 6.5 super ram. When you download the file it will show up like a new rom. Flash it like you would a rom. and you are done. It really is trial and error to find the one that works best in your area. If you need any more help just let me know. I was the new guy not to long ago so I feel your pain. While in the radio thread read all the posts when you can and it will help.

I have only had the phone about a month, so I am just trying to get use to it. So, If I am having trouble with signal and/or battery, I may not know it as of yet.
Once again, I am very leary about flashing.
I was to My first time, but once you learn how and get used to it you will love trying out different roms

I know exactly how you feel Grey, but I thought sod it, best bet (someone correct me if i am wrong) hold down the camera key and hold in the soft reset button. If it comes up with the tricolour screen and it says something like SPL-1.0.OliPof. If that comes up the scary bit has been done and someones already put HardSPL on the phone. Chances are they have if you already have a custom ROM on it.
Now the hard bit will be is what ROM to put on it. Just read how to flash it but the easiest way is to do it from the SD card, and always flash the HTC stock ROM between custom ROMS, it helps u avoid any problems.

Question on Radios - help needed?

Hi guys,
just simple questions,
1) how do i update just the radio if possible? and does it flash my memory?
2) does updating radio improve and stabilise my reception?
3) what's the best radio to install and where do i get it from?
thanks
Did you use the search button??
1) you flash it like any rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539657
2) since i'm using 1.14 my reception improved some say the new on(1.16) is even better.
3) just flash a radio if you like it you keep it. you can always flash back

[Radio Recommendation] Which one?

Hello,
I am on T-Mobile in Philadelphia, so which Radio would be best for me?
Looking for a Radio with GREAT signal strength but also that is stable, fast, smooth.
Any help would be appreciated because signal strength has been really bad ever since I started flashing and now using hundreds of different ROM's... Mostly Dutty's and Miri's.
And does the Radio DELETE everything from my phone?
Cause I just set up my entire phone, e-mail, contacts
For right now, I am using Dutty's WM6.5 Leo R1 ROM, but I WILL upgrade when he comes out with a newer version.
Thanks in Advance,
Victor~
Hey,
Nope flashing a new radio doesn't delete anything from your phone unlike a ROM, which is great
I updated from the stock radio to 1.12.25.16 and found that was a really good radio.
I tried 1.14.25.24 a while back but found it was worse than the radio I had used before so I actually reverted.
A few days ago I took the advice of some people who had posted in Duttys ROM thread regarding a hex edited radio (nothing scary!)
If you security unlock your Blackstone (not the same as SIM unlock) for a small fee/donation, then you can flash the 1.16.25.48 radio. This is the best radio I have used yet, much better signal even in former weak spots! Call quality seems better and even better; no dropped calls.
Thanks for the reply.
How do I know if my phone isn't already security unlocked?
It is fully unlocked, running on any SIM and everything. And right now I am running Radio 1.14.25.24 and the signal strength is HORRIBLE. Just horrible. I lose signal in very stupid places, sometimes in the car when outside I have full strength and sometimes in my house, where I should be having full signal, it now goes between one and three bars and sometimes no service at all.
I bought the phone back in September, when they came out. And I have used only Miri's and Dutty's ROMS mostly. Then just themes and CABs of other files like HDTweak and FingrKeyboard.
So would I be able to place the Radio 1.16.25.48 on my Blackstone?
Thanks
Victor~

Flashing a new radio will not delete your current ROM's settings.
If you are not sure - do not flash 1.16 radio, it can brick your device for ever. Seems like you phone does not have a "security unlock"
Рекомендую НРГ (NRG) РОМ, пробовал многое, но это пока самое лучшее, что тут есть
Why is it not good to install 1.16? Bad?
I am looking for a good Radio because I am losing signal almost everywhere.
And what NRG ROM? Can you post link please.
Looking for SMOOTH ROM, preferably something like Dutty's Leo ROM, or a good Manila2.5ROM atleast untill Dutty works out the bugs.
Thanks.

Read this to understand the risks. As Valti says it can brick your phone and make it an expensive paperweight which will have no signal anywhere. .
Note: Secutiy unlock is not the same as being able to use any SIM card (that is just SIM unlocked). I believe that if your phone is security unlocked it will say so when you put it into bootloader mode and unless you actually applied to have it secuurity unlocked it is not likely to be unlocked.
So is there any way to get a better signal?
Do I have to Security Unlock my phone to install ANY Radio?
Or will a signal booster work better if I bought one?
Thanks

AFAIK, you can install other Blackstone radios without having the phone security unlocked. The radio wiki seems to suggest that the worst that could happen could be a hard reset (which would loose your data).
If you want to try a radio from another phone such as 1.16 then YES you do need to be security unlocked (and then the consequences are more dire if things go wrong) (Sorry I posted the link to an incorrect thread in my post above - Read this one for the risks associated with the 1.16 radio.
As far as signal boosters etc I have not used them so have no view on the effectiveness of these.

There's no harm in signal boosters, I have never tried one myself but several people I know and probably thousands on eBay would say it increased their signals!
At the moment I can assure you your phone will be SIM unlocked but not security unlocked.
To install any radio that belongs to Blackstone e.g. 1.12 or 1.14 (that was a rubbish radio for me too!) you DON'T have to security unlock your phone. It is easy and not much can go wrong.
1.16.25.48 is a radio from the HTC Kovsky, obviously a different device. But if you get your phone security unlocked you are able to use radios from any device. 1.16 is proven to work but there are some people who say it bricked their device. IMHO... probably because they didn't install it properly. It works very well for me and a lot of others.
Bottom line is if you're willing and able to spare a little £$£ then try 1.16; otherwise revert to 1.12 and you'll be okay I reckon.
Cheers!
clyde, all of your questions made here are already answered in many threads here.
please, for your own safety, do some reading before attempting anything about flashing your blackstone:
first security unlock your blackstone. check if your phone is security unlocked ("how to" is explained in the given thread).
then flash kovsky 1.16.25.48 radio.
you will take safe steps and learn much more than simply getting answers from your questions here. also, you'll contribute to keep the forum clean and organized!
i can confirm 1.16.25.48 radio is very good, better than 1.14 if you use your phone at low signal spots frequently. at least for me it is.

Hello from Pretoria, mate
Виток, just have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524032
For me that is the best ROM I have ever tried, with many of useful preinstalled applications in it. To flash the ROM (or a new radio) you need to have HardSPL or USPL done before flashing. Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Please remember that HardSPL and USPL - different from security unlock of your phone!
Regarding the radio - I use 1.14 without any problems.
I would highly suggest you to get radio 1.16
You need to security unlock ur phone though. I am happy to get this radio on my HD and now I think the 16 euros I spent for security unlocking was worth it. Getting better signal, phone getting less hot and call quality has improved.
And if u listen to some of our friends who say that it can brick ur phone then u must be aware that even Flashing cooked rom can brick ur phone if not done correctly so the point is that risk is everywhere. Just enjoy ur phone to its fullest. U need any help with installing the security s/w,pm me
MOD EDIT
Move out of Themes, Applications and Software as not relevent
Plenty other threads exist regarding roms & radios including this one. I suggest you post further queries there.

If you were reading the phone settings then ignore that....The radio of the phone can be found via cam+power...
Yeah but what is the best version?? the 17U or 17H? I've been modding my G1 since it was possible and never came across this close of an ota version
There is only one radio that is avail for G1....
There is no best version...The roms are based off of OTA's taht are released or dumps that are made...
Thanks I'll try the 17H and if I don't like it go back to 17U

DO NOT FLASH A RADIO MEANT FOR A DIFFERENT DEVICE!!!!!! Doing so is one of the easier ways to brick your phone.
Have the G1 T-Mobile and would never flash the wrong radio. Been doing this to long.. Thanks for the advice though
Quick question been trying to upload a picture for my profile but keeps saying upload failed and it is less than the requirement. Nevermind got it now Thank you for all your help and for being able to gets some answers to other questions I have had in the past in this forum. You guys are great
