Each time I try a different rom, am i changing the radio?
thanks
If radio is included yes, if not, no
thanks for the quick reply- do you by any chance know if smaberg changed the radio?
i current have 1.10.25.18
i always cut out and have poor reception should i try and change it to the newer version?
usually only oficial roms come with radio updates included.
if you got reception problems try a newer rom, the last one is really great reception wise, give it a try as you can always go back (remember to hardspl first just to be sure).
this is the last one: http://rapidshare.com/files/223674193/XPERIA_Radio_1.14.25.55.rar but I also had good results with the previous one: http://rapidshare.com/files/210782565/XPERIA_Radio_1.11.25.76.rar

Hi, i am very new to this game. However I have managed to unlock the sim, what I would like to do now is either flash the original HTC rom or Duttys. My question is do I have to flash a specific radio first or just flash. My current radio is 1 27 12 32 and I have hard spl installed.
Thanks

if you are flashing the original HTC rom that radio should be fine. However, if you flash dutty's rom's you need a radio that is compatiable with 6.1roms. search the forum or the thread that is associated with the rom you want to flash.
If the Radio you have is not compatable with the ROM you are using (very common on the latest ROM/radio releases) the OS will probably refuse to boot.
If this is the case, just load the bootloader screen and flash a compatable radio.
Most chefs lift the compatable radios in the 1st post.

Ey up...
I installed the nothrills ROM over my T-Mobile default one. I didn't even think about radio. It seems to work fine. Do I need to worry about this?
No, but you might get better reception/battery life with a more compatible radio
... am I right in thinking the Nothrills ROM changes the radio too? It seems to say it does on the forum page. Sorry for asking, but I'm not clued up at all about this kind of thing.

That's what it looks like.
If you look in "Device Information" you can see the versions you are running.
If it matches the first post then you flashed the radio.

Yep, it's flashed that too. Thanks for such a quick answer.
Hey guys,
I'm currently using my T-Mobile branded German Xperia with following Roms and Radios. Rom ver. is 1.02.111.7 from 9/17/08 (oviously R1A) while my radio is ver. 1.06.25.29.
I never flashed because of two reasons!
First of all everthing works fine on my phone. It is not too buggy and not too slow either. With MS 3.0 it's a pleasure!
Second I don't bother making backups for a little update like R2A or R3A is.
Now - I'm a little unhappy with my reception but couldn't that be because of the network (operator) I'm using? I just read that with R2A (R3A) reception has improved. Is that correct? Is it for sure that with new radio reception is better?
If so, is there a way to just change radio? Or does changing radio means data loss as well? Because I don't really like the idea of flashing since I brikked a 500$ phone once and lost my warranty. Do I lose my warranty flashing only the radio (if that is possible?).
Thanks for your time guys!

If you just flash the radio you wouldn't lose anything. the rom and all your files will be there. so go on and update youre radio. i'm using 1.14 and i'm happy with it, reception got better for me also.
using 1.16 AND IT'S AMAZING improvement over previous radio's .. in my case batt life is better and reception is MUCH better indeed. give it a try.. u can always flash ur radio back to what u had ..
I'm gonna try it. Thank you guys for your quick answers!
Where has the 1.16 radio come from?
if anyone has the rom can you dump the rilphone to go with it??
I've just hex edited it and stuck it on my HD to test. I've never seen a radio this good..
reception everywhere so far..
but the rilphone to go with it would be fun
1.16.48.25 is a great radio, also for Germany
Using it with O2 without any problems

I presume you refer to the phone signal in calls or data being low. You can try another radio. As radios are area specific though you may need to try a few to see which one gives you the best results in your area.
You can find more info and the different radio versions available here.

Glad to hear . If you change your radio, it is recommended that you should ideally flash the matching rilphone.
Excellent glad you got it sorted. Generally if you are getting low signal, best advice is to try another radio and match rilphone. All info can be found in link provided by ClydeB1 above

Heya,
i have an MDA Vario III and i have recently updated to a new rom.
i used the newest HardSPL to date (3.xx) and a custom cooked rom.
my real problem though was after i updated to OliProf the audio iput/output would completely cut off. i found it was the radio rom, so i updated it AFTER i updated the hardSPL and rom, (i have 1.27.12.11). the sound worked fine after i did all this for a week or two, but now the sound has started stopping again, the only solution is when i flash the radio rom, but the sound would then cut off after 3/4 hours, meaning i have to reflash the radio rom every 4 hours
any help would be greatly appreciated

All newer ROMs are WM 6.1-6.5 so need the radio to match so you should be using a WM 6.1 Radio and not a WM 6.
The Ultimate Radio Thread
so what i should do is really is go through and try all the radio roms under W6.1? because even after reading, i am still confused as to which rom i should use to update, sorry ):
and FYI i found out that the rom im using at the moment is "THE AMAZING 23001 ROM by DJKOA"
and the SPL is 3.56 HARD
Go with the recommended radio "mind u i think that it's not matched" read the thread from back as sure posters have mentioned radio issue, then you will have phone working and from there only you can find the best Radio as it depends on so many variables location\carrier etc and effects battery life\data\GPS Fix.
And on another note H-SPL 3.34 is recommended for 6.5
I cannot find any threads related to this. is it correct that radio rom is a separate part than system rom? if so where do I download a good stable one and how do I flash it?
i have 826x rom and radio ver. 1.14.25.55 and I have poor 3g signal (switches to edge whereas other phones are stable on 3g same network) and also sometimes it looses signal completely so I usually have to reconnect m:anually (switch off and on the radio function)
yes radio rom is a sperate part than system rom.
You can flash it the same way like x826 rom and hardspl
