Question on Radios - help needed? - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

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

thanks have used search but gets confusing and searching for needle in hay stack
where can I get the 1.16 radio from?
thanks again

You've got to search a bit better.... for one, try to flash a (radio) rom that's made for Xperia, not for the Raphael!
You can find a lot of them here at the end of post #1

I am a bit confused.....
Are all radio ROMs work on both X1a and X1i? as one runs 850/1900/2100, the other runs 900/1900/2100....
Thanks....

Radio question

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).

Yes it patched a special radio according to the instruction.
Your sig is not showing but I'll look for the Radio thread

It's on the wiki, not a thread. I've added my sig to the above post, not sure why it wasn't there.
You can also see the Sig by clicking on my name, clicking view public profile, then about me.

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
Thank you

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.

I tried the 21.14 and it didn't work as well.
I'm going to grab one of those "lite" ROMs and install that. Hopefully that will work

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.

any btw your radio is a patched radio that's used for unlocking. u might wanna update that

Thank you for responding.
How do I update my radio?
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.
Thank you for your assistance.
Radio Upgrade
Do I really need to upgrade my radio?
I am frankly scared to death to do anything like this with my phone in the fear of bricking it.
Thank you.

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.

If everything is working ok for you then not really but the right radio will help with batt life and signal. Are you having any issues at all?

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.

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

Sorry for stupid 'noob' question but I have flashed about 4 or so different ROMs so far and know what to do on that end, should I just stick to the custom ROMs or can I play with kernels and what to look for also with this radio '20.2811.30.085AU_3805.09.03.27_M' is this the radio that I should have put in awhile ago to keep my InS up to date?
Sorry

Radios are always a mystery. Once in a while people find new radio version from new RUU/OTA but you can never find any official words on them. So all you can do is flash them and see if there's any difference. But worse still, some difference/enhancement might be carrier specific.
Personally, I found 3822.11.08.29 and later versions are best for my case.
