Rogers radio update: Fix your 3g? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Has anyone had success in getting their 3g back from rogers after applying the 3.22.26.17 radio to their dream without installing the full rogers locked up update?
Thanks,
SR

Yes, Rogers is checking the radio version.

It worked for me, but took about 24 hrs to get 3G back.

Update JUST the radio

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.

Calls with updated Radio

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

if you have an HD7, instead of an HD7S on Cingular, you will only get Edge.
make sure 3G is set to on under Settings -> Cellular.
you might try a different Radio, yes.

[Q] Vivid Radio ROMs?

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:
