Sorry for posting here but I'm not allowed to post in the development section yet.
I'm on the latest Deepshining custom rom and I'm trying to change the radio software. I've gone though the procedure twice. The software shows the files being uploaded to the phone and a progress bar on the phone itself and reports sucess but when I look in the 'about' section on the phone I see the radio version hasn't changed. ??? Also I don't have any GPS on my phone. Am I right in thinking that that would have noting to do with the radio firmware ? Thanks.

Hi
i have been given a XDAIIs by O2 from a mate to try and correct the botch update he tried to do.
He Download the ROM update from O2's web site, run the install but something happened half way though the Radio ROM procedure and it failed.
Now there is No radio Version when GetDeviceData.exe is run and the Phone function dont work too.
I have tried to install the manufacture Radio ROM and various others, but they all fail.
My guess as there is no version on the ROM the install process falls over trying to determin what the current version is.
IS there a way around this?
If no one can help he will have to send it back under the warranty.
Doh best if i post it in the right place.

I want to put a new ROM on my fresh ADP. Do I need to put a new radio on before I update to HardSPL?
This thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
seems to suggest I might need to, but this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
doesnt mention it.
How can I find out, or is there a simple yes / no ?
Thanks.
If it is hardspl then no you don't need the new radio. If its the new danger spl then yes. But it is a good idea to update your radio anyways.
Thanks.
danger SPL sounds like i might want to leave it alone...
If I was going to update the radio anyway then is the one in the linked noobs guide above the one? Or are there options? Ive had a dig and although its easy to find the SPLs and Roms and other guides, I havent seen much about radios.
flash the radio http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip
without flashing a new radio then bluetooth will not work in then new rom
Thanks for the help everyone. Thats awesome.
er.... is there a way to check if it worked and what radio it's using? It seemed to be so quick I'm not sure if it can have been right?
It only showed the unpacking animation with the open box and the status bar for like a quarter of a second... and then it went back to the triangle with the exclamation mark in it.
I did Home + back to reboot and its loaded up fine all working. But no clue if it did anything...
To check is real easy,
Look under settings> About phone>
It is listed in the Baseband Version. If it ends in 26I you are all good.
Yea its a small file so it won't take long at all to flash. Sounds like it worked.
Thanks guys.
I used the radio marked as most recent:
ota-radio-2_22_19_26I
Baseband version on my phone says:
62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
Doesnt end in 26I... Just spotted that radio is shown in fastboot screen and it lists the old one as well.
Odd.
Wierd, It is a small file and shouldn't take long to flash.
You are definitly on the old radio still.
After you update it should tell you to push a key combination to apply the radio.
Turns out my update.zip was called update.zip.zip ... oops. So it hadnt done anything.
Fixed that and the radio update took a few secs and is working fine. Its listed correctly now as you said it would be in the settings / about screen.
Thanks again for the help folks.
No problem. Might want to show extensions on your pc so it don't happen again.
I've been lurking with the XDA forum for quite sometime now and its my very first posting and I'm having difficulties finding answers on search box I just simply give up looking for appropriate answer to my question. Since I like to use the good old Winmo 6.1 rom (Davideuck_V-7_MSVC to be exact)my bad is I forgot to SPL to earlier version 1.15 so got a green kinda thing on my screen, so I apply Restore_Stock_SPL_115 and everything went fine. (I know I'm stupid ) Unfortunately after I update the Time and Date it suddenly appear " This concludes the beta test for this software release....... blah, blah,.... guess what? its a time bomb can't do anything on screen but to reset. So I decide to re-flash it again but I got stuck at 0% on bootloader mode and got Error 262, I tried to understand whats the meaning of it and I did, but never got any solution how? I tried to flash it with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex to restore Winmo 6.5 but I got stuck again on 0%. something unusual I tried to reflash more roms and it didn't work. All the Roms I've wont reach 1% Even flashing on SD card trick wont load. And my spl ver 1.15 can't flash anything. So I that's why I need your help desperately...
Near enough the exact same situation as me! I think that 1.15 file may have issues.

If you are getting an Error 262, you need to run manual sspl in order to resolve this. Read this post for the steps (post #2) and sspl tool (post #1) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377. You can also get all of the steps needed to successfully flash. if you have questions, please post them in that thread.
It seems when I restart my phone normally, I noticed that the message about " This concludes the beta test for this software release....... blah, blah" the manila interface was behind it when I press the task manager and the volume buttons it responses means its not bricked (hope so) maybe the reason why I cant flash anything? Or whatever...Well that's my observation..... Please guys I needed my phone badly tomorrow
Did you not read my post . You can flash another rom, error 262 is common. You just need to use sspl before flashing to hspl 1.56.
if ur stuck with hspl and cant flash that than try uspl or try stock rom.... they get installed without hspl or uspl installed.... its available in the blackstone wiki section
and with stock rom get through tomorrow . than try hspl or uspl with custom rom later on when u have free time
Upgrade the ROM with latest official HTC release it upgrades the bootloader to ver 1.54 as well. Then you can install the newest version of HSPL or just use USPL to flash whatever cooked ROM you want.
Apologies on replying again here instead of posting on the designated thread , but forgive my innocence the thread says "" launch SSPL-Manual.exe from attachment, run it, wait until 1.07.OliNex tricolour screen says "USB" on it, then run the HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on the PC. "" how exactly that's going to be done? Currently I got the tri-color screen saying SPL-1.15.0000 and a USB on the bottom and when I flash either hspl or uspl I always end up on gray screen with a 0% that doesn't move at all, how can I manually apply SSPL? I cant access Manila interface because of time bomb message? My life's getting complicated!
If possible try flashing from an XP box, Vista/7 might give you some additional trouble if you don't use the right drivers. But if you get to the 0% screen, the issue shouldn't be with the SPL... so don't worry, I doubt the phone is bricked
So: try XP and/or using the drivers provided in the Flashing-thread

Did you downloaded the ROM from the HTC site? If the ROM is from the official site try again using USPL.
I seach the wiki page and found the latest version which is "Blackstone_WWE_1.56.405.1" and I can't find it on the official site, it should be "WWE" not specifying on certain countries, so I manage to download it from Rapidshare link. and for the SSPL I don't think I can do that coz I can't access my phone coz it has tim bomb probably the main culprit here.
Any flashing problems should be posted in Dummies Guide thread.

Shortly after flashing to the niki radio, 1.65.29.22, I saw on the bootup screen, an 'H' in the corner. Having gained not much of a positive experience from this radio, I decided to try and flash to a different radio, a radio I had liked. While doing so, it always failed at 99% whether flashing to two other radios or trying to flash to a different rom.
Long ago, when I had first visited this forum, I remember there was a problem with the radio locking but can't seem to remember what exactly to search for to fix this. Any ideas?
[Edit] Change the title to better describe the issue.
[Edit] Additional Info: Does it help that the error I'm getting at the end is
[going to 1.64.21.18] - 262: Update Error
[going to 1.64.21.14] - 270: Update Date Error (Image file is corrupt) [freshly downloaded from 4shared]
Oh, I put in hardSpl 3.56. Would it matter to try the earlier versions?
[Final Edit] Thanks to everyone who helped. Here's the pattern: [In order of execution]
Changed SPL from 1.1 -> 3.56
Changed Radios from 1.65.29.22 -> 1.64.08.21 -> 1.65.21.18
in the kaiser forums as well as the kaiser ultimate radio thread, search for "radio from hell" and make sure (and pray!) that the version you currently have is NOT the radio from hell.
I changed the title of the thread to better describe the issue at hand. I just noticed that after installing Niki radio as listed above, I keep getting flashing issues that fail at 99% whether radio or new rom.

Have you read ASCIIker's answer above?
Well, the radio I had listed wasn't found in the thread. So, before I proceed to go through the steps, I would like to know if this is really a symptom that would require going through the steps.

Try another combination of hardslp (change your actual) and try to flash the radios again. Let's see if that works.
Does it help that the error I'm getting at the end is
[going to 1.64.21.18] - 262: Update Error
[going to 1.64.21.14] - 270: Update Date Error (Image file is corrupt) [freshly downloaded from 4shared]
Oh, I put in hardSpl 3.56. Would it matter to try the earlier versions?
[Edit] Fixed? I think. I got a new radio on my thing after finally jumping to:1.64.08.21. Will try to flash it to one of the above radios. This one's camera doesn't seem to work.
[Edit2] Finally! Back to a radio that I really thought was great! I will now fix the title.

Good to know that you solved your problem.
Hello everyone and sorry for starting a new thread with so many threads already about installing custom ROMs. So sorry again....
First of all I want to say that I have installed Saturday my first custom ROM.
1. I installed HardSPL
2. I installed ROM (I got an error first time because my usb got diconnected - tricolour boot screen and an error code - could not see it; second time everything worked fine and I have now a new great looking ROM
3. I did not installed Radio.
1st question: Do I have to install Radio everytime I install a new ROM or is it ok if I keep my old Radio? - the phone works just fine.
Second question: Do I have to HardSPL everytime I install a new ROM?
Please be kind and reply to my questions even if it must have been already posted in some thread.
rarely can i answer a question but yours are easy LOL
You don't need to do your radio because the radio you have is untouched by roms.
Likewise if you do a radio it wont change your rom.
Radio's probably will not make much diffrence.
Once you have Hard spl it is done.
You can then flash as many roms as you want , but Hard Spl is just once
No and No.
Thank you guys.
The radio is stored on a different part of the memory then the ROM, so it doesn't get replaced when you flash a ROM (unless the ROM specifically includes it, like the new "official leaked" ATT ROM). And custom ROMs will never include the radio, that I know of.
A newer radio version MAY get you better battery life or GPS reception. But it can be very specific to your geographic location. It your choice whether to update your radio or not, its certainly not required. If you want, you are free to experiment, as you can always go back to the old radio if the new one doesn't work out. The process for flashing a new radio is essentially the same as flashing a ROM, except the actual process if done very fast.
As already mentioned, you only need to HardSPL once. The only way phone will become SPL locked back to factory condition is if you specifically do so using the provided relocker program on the SPL thread (for instance, to return the phone for warranty repair).
