Please don't hammer me as I know that I believe I must be overlooking something, but googling the forums I have not been able to come up with how to determine what versions of various firmware / software is installed my Treo 750.
I know...
OS version: Start>Settings>System>About - CE OS.....
What are the steps for....
SPL?
If hard SPL is installed?
Radio version?
etc.
Thanks so much
Did you find an answer meanwhile?
I would also be interested in my radio version. But I dont know how to determine.
No replies huh.. I too am interested in knowing which radio version my phone is currently using.
SPL: hold the sidebutton under the volumekeys and press reset and look at the tricolored screen

Hey guys,
I'm looking to revive the Harrier CDMA WM5 project.
I'm not asking for any help, but any links anyone can give me directing me to wiki's and files involving ROM cooking and the Harrier's system would be helpful.
If anyone is willing to help out, specifically you Blue Angel gurus, it would be greatly appreciated, but like I said, I didn't come here to beg for help.
So this is my understanding of everything so far:
I need to download the Harrier's ROM.
I need to download that of another similar CDMA phone that uses WM5.
I need to find differences in the files and the boot sequence.
Once I've figured these differences out, I need to replace and possibly recompile dll's.
After I have everything where it should be in the new ROM, I need to cook it.
The general problem with cooking for the Harrier is that no one can boot past the multicolored GSM Radio screen?
Is that all correct?
I know how to cook a ROM and would like to assist on this project.
I think the first step is to get past the GSM Radio problem. That means the device is stuck on the SPL and isn't even trying to boot the OS.
If it's true that the Blue Angel IPL and SPL boots to "No Radio" or something like that on the Harrier, that means for the most part, the IPL/SPL is somewhat compatible. If this is the case, the BA IPL/SPL not bricking the phone is a very good sign that either the SPL needs to be modded to see a CDMA radio, or a radio compatible with the SPL needs to be found. I noticed on my Titan (CDMA) that when the radio is extracted from a ROM, its filename is something like 06_GSM.nb. In fact, when building a flash file with NBH Tool, the radio portion is put in the GSM area. That made me wonder - are GSM and CDMA SPLs possibly the same, and the only difference is the code in the radio?
I think what we need to find is someone who can reverse engineer a GSM and CDMA SPL.
My thoughts were that the samsung i730 had some of the same components as the 6600. But I don't know the first thing about stripping or cooking a rom. The WM5 rom for the i730 can be found on pdaphonehome.com. I don't have a link right now, but a search there can find it. I am all for helping out where I can. I don't see any newer phone worth upgrading to at this time. So I and a few others would love to see someone figure it out.
Here's a link: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/samsung-i730-i830-i830w/74224-wm5-upgrade-gone-vzw.html
Unfortunately, stripping and cooking a ROM is the most trivial part.
The difficult part is getting the SPL to work with the CDMA radio. For that, we'll need someone who knows ARM assembly. I think to modify that SPL will require an ARM emulator and someone who can load the SPL and make the necessary code changes so it sees the CDMA radio.
From that part on, I think most of the BA's WM6 should work and we might be able to get some drivers from the i730.
I tried contacting a few people on the forum who I know are familiar with ARM and inner workings of the SPL, but they are apparently not interested.
Good idea! Port plz wm 5.0 =)
And i think may i update my xv6600 by windows mobile on samsung i730? (sorry for my English i'm from Ukraine
Hi guys I have a new HTC Wing phone which has some issues with the GSM radio, I was going to update the radio for my device to solve the problem but I see that it requires an SPL/IPL version equal or higher than 4
Unfortunately, the IPL/SPL version numbers are not shown when I boot this device, is there any other way to find out
Here is the info I see on the device.
ROM version 4.10.531.3 WWE
Rom date: 03/15/07
Radio version: 02.83.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.37
ExtROM version: 4.10.531.103
One other thing I have is that I have editied the registry to be able to see the band settings, however, the band information info is blank
Thanks in advance
Also a new Wing user (got it last week), and found out my IPL/SPL yesterday
You will see IPL/SPL info in bootloader
How you get into bootloader you ask?

Try the following links as well. Keep reading, as there's a "wealth" of information on this site. I don't claim I am an expert on Wing, but I've been "soaking" in this site the last few days, and I "think" I know what I want/need to do

Hope this help
From another new Wing fellow
hey pal, yeah today I figured out I would check with the bootloader option and I could see the IPL/SPL version, did the radio update to version 8.xxx which is supposed to be the one everybody is using but still can´t get signal inside my apartment, I dunno if it is a particular problem of this one I have or if it is a more general issue, maybe I will try a ROM update...
anyway, thanks again for the reply
Just flashed my wing to Open Touch 3.0 Biggy, which include a new radio: 03.07.90
If you hate TMo ROM, or wanna try something new, maybe you should look into it
I flashed it to Toich It V2 but nothing has changed regarding reception quality while a wizard I have has perfect reception, I will try to install a ruu rom image instead and see what happens, the rom i have now shows nothing under device information which is weird to say the least
Hi I'm new around here. Thanks to the NOOB install guide I could install a great rom from this site. It worked great... untill I made a call. I called someone and after the call I couldn't call anyone untill I soft reseted the phone. I tried to install another rom for the kaiser and I even tried the wm 6.5 rom. They all work but after 1 call the call function cuts working. Is this an common problem?
Could someone help me
you're obviously new here, so welcome!
somehow, i think you're under the impression that we are mind readers
did you search here on the forum? did you read the wiki? which particular flashing guide for noobs did you follow? which ROMs EXACTLY did you try?
what i mean to say is BE PARTICULAR and DETAILED in your posts...and this is a NECESSITY if you are starting a new thread...which really doesn't seem appropriate (yet) because your issue SEEMS to be caused by an unmatched radio version and/or SPL version...BOTH SPL version and radio version must be versions that are meant for windows mobile 6.1/6.5 if you tried 6.1/6.5 ROMs. i have a feeling your SPL is one meant for windows mobile 6.0...another possibility is that the ROMs you tried DID NOT come with a radio (some ROMs do, some ROMs don't) and so your radio version might also be one meant for windows mobile 6.0.
please read the wiki to find out how to determine your radio version and your SPL version...then post back here
you might want to re-read the noob flashing guide also
and to reiterate, always be detailed and always SEARCH thoroughly
good luck
same problem
I have exacly the same problem.
I used Kaiser Unlocker V2.0 Made by Olipro - 2008
The phone actually dials the numbers but there is no sound either out or in.
also when recieving a txt message the vibrate remains on contant.
My Kaiser is running WM6.1
operator v 24.328.1.610
Rom version 3.28.61.0 WWE
date: 05/02/08
Radio Version 1.70.OliNex
protocol version 25.65.30.04H
Honestly i'm less than a neebie! Although an experenced PC engineer, I only wanted to undo the Orange SIM lock before I go overseas for 6 months to an area that only operates Cable & Wireless mobile.
Mentioned above is a note about out of date radio version, the Rom date does seem a little old for WM6.1, what should I be looking for to update the radio?
any advice is greatly recieved.
Thanks
Ian
the unlocker essentially uses a "special" radio+SPL combo that is meant for unlocking ONLY
you seem to still have the said radio version (indicated by the "1.70.OliNex" string)
so verify that your phone is indeed sim unlocked. then proceed to change your spl and radio to the recommended ones for windows mobile 6.1. the unlocking should "stick" after changing the radio+spl combo but do verify before starting and after completing the update.
nice to see you are a PC engineer so you'll have no trouble thoroughly reading the wiki (first link in my signature) and making sense of the wealth of information there on how to update your radio (get a suitable one from the "Ultimate Radio Thread" linked in my signature) and spl.
good luck!
Thanks very much, a temp radio... that makes sence.
Thanks again

Hi there, found my old Tytn II lying and decided i wanted to unlock it to use with my current SIM. I searched on ways to unlock it and found the "kaiserunlocker" followed all the steps and hey presto it was unlocked! I was over the moon! That is until i noticed the handset no longer making noises? I have searched and searched again, all the talk of "correct radios" and flashing rom etc has me totally lost, infact the phone wont make calls and is generally very slow?
Please Help!
Glenn.
Ps. sorry for being such a noob

i have been in these threads, when doing all the searching etc. I dont know what im doing... im in a total state of confusion now? i dont understand what a rom and a radio is or for that matter an spl?
if i post the device information can someone point me in the right direction?

After reading, then come back with specific questions and it will be easier to help once you aquire a knowledge base.
Ok, had a good read there, just tried to make a phone call on the handset there and it didnt work, upon reading about roms, radio roms etc. I believe that the phone has the wrong radio rom, Text Messages are working, but not phone calls,
I looked in this thread as advised - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
But Cant seem to find the below in Bold?
Heres what my phone says in Device Information,
Operator Version: 21.181.1.612
ROM Version: 1.81.61.2 WWE
ROM Date: 09/20/07
Radio Version: 1.65.20.29
Protocol Version:25.88.40.04H
Thanks.
PS. im willing to learn! Thanks for you quick replies!
1.81.61.2 WWE is the ORANGE UK kaiser ROM
The radio looks to be correct for that ROM too, my advice would be to HardSPL it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835 part 1 thru 5 )
Then go get the HTC stock ROM from here ( http://rapidshare.com/files/157469239/Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.rar ).
The stock ROM above also contains a matched Radio, so this should either cure the problem, or at least give you a clue if it's hardware or software problems you face.
Its working! You guys are superb! Thanks for your help and advice!!
Hey,
for warranty issues I want to restore hard SPL. But I read thats only recommended to experienced users/hackers. Im a bit confused now - is it really difficult and/or dangerous?
Also I have to install original Radio but I don't have an idea what my original Radio was. I know for sure that I changed...I think I first had .14 but I do some research on that - anyway - does anyone know what radio it could have been?
The xperia was bought in Germany February 2009. Carrier: T-mobile.
Thx for answering my questions!

Well for the hardSPL, I am pretty sure that the sony ericsson update service program for windows just updates your hardSPL to the most recent manufacture stock release version of the factory hardSPL.
I am pretty sure that this can work.
For the radio though, I do not know, but I think it depends on the operating system. Through the ROM threads, there must be some kind of clean Windows Mobile 6.1 floating around with no tweaks or hacks. If you find one, then install the operating system first then the hardSPL.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's exactly the same process as putting in hard-SPL and a custom ROM. Just flash back to a custom ROM then install the stock-SPL.
I don't think you need to reinstall your radio, but if you want, install the 1.17 version, it doesn't change your radio version number and usually shows up as 1.14
