Is it any better?

So, a question for those of you who've done the upgrade - does it make any difference you can notice? Just wondering if it's worth doing the upgrade at the moment, or waiting for new HTC rom when it finally appears.

Tried this on a Orange M3100 with the 1.31 Cingular ROM, but it doesn work. Just sites at 0% and then you eventually get an error. Seems like you need bootloader 1.04 for this to work...

are there any improvements using these new radio roms? also, what's the difference between 1.10 and 1.16?

thanks :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] goestoeleven:
I wasn't having any radio problems previously, and so far, I haven't seen any issues with 1.16, either.

Bluetooth works fine, UMTS/GSM calls work fine, WLAN works fine, and UMTS data works fine...

If I see any strange behaviors, I'll be sure to point them out...

My radio_.nbf and yours differ, is it because of headers?

Just tried the procedure on mine.

Hardware = Dopod 838Pro

ROM = imate

Upgraded to radio version 1.16, the procedure worked fine! Except that after the flashing was complete the PC displayed "upgrade failed" but after a soft reset of the PDA, it worked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shugoh:
You did a great job, Asukal!!!

I can see some improvement that I can see more wireless bar on my title bar after I upgrade radio ROM.

Thsi is cingular ROM, so I don't know somebody who lives outside US can see this improvement, but I can see it in my rural US state.

In addition, as you said, I can see OS runs smoothly than my original ROM.

I was usually stuck when I run "menu" or "button" applet in control panet. But after I upgrade to Radio 1.16, I don't have it.

I don't know why, but it is real.

I appreciate your effot!!

I've just upgraded my radio rom.. it displayed ERROR, but it's working and showing 1.16 anyway.

The only problem is, that I can no longer run any applications that were not built in.. I get "The file 'regedit' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found..." I can't even extract a cab file :/

This is not related to the radio upgrade, this means your device is not application unlocked, have a look here:

I'm not saying it's related to the upgrade (that would be strange), but I could use all apps before the upgrade :) Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but it happened just after I finished radio upgrade :/

edit:

I fixed this by reconstructing the Security branch, still dunno how that could happen..

anyone notice any differences with the new radio?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] axiom:
Yes. The signal strength is a little better. Where I got 2 bars, I'm getting 3 bars or even 4. But then it could just be my provider getting better... hahaha... ya right.

But yes, over all I find the radio starts up quicker on soft reset and even when going from flight mode and back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] JR_de:
I also noticed an improvement in the signal strength.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] efjay:
Thanks for the feedback guys, could I just ask are you actually able to make calls in places where you previously could not, hold on to calls in places where you would normally drop the call with the new radio upgrade or is it just a case of the phone displaying more bars which may give be misleading? How about wifi/BT range and speed, any change there? Thanks again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] JR_de:
Well - I live in the middle of Berlin - I have very good coverage here.

I didn't had the chance to test WiFi or BT yet.

Will let you know later.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Lurker0:
I had no problems with calls and BT, and has no chance to try WiFi for now. But I have problems with GPRS.. It's mostly because of my operator, but anyway with this new firmware GPRS became much better.

I have a GSM base station nearby that almost always fails to serve GPRS. I contact my oprator's service regularly to reboot the BS. Last time I called them a day before I flashed the new firmware. Todaye (2 days later) I was called back by operator's specialist and he told me (with a big surprise!) that, according to their statistics, my phone no longer connects to this faulty BS during past days, while it was "my" main BS before, and even with the previous phone (SE P800). It "sits" almost permanently on the one and the same BS during past 3 days! He said they can't understand how and why did it happen... BTW there are 6-8 BSes visible around with a good signal level.

So the operator has confirmed that there is a real difference and not only my feelings.

Does the radio rom affects wifi and bluetooth in any way?

Isn't this fully controlled by OS device drivers and chipset specific firmware?

Probably I am wrong, but I thought radio ROM had nothing to do at all with wifi and bluetooth, it only handles the voice/modem part (GSM / GPRS / 3G / HSDPA...) controlled by the Radio Interface Layer (RIL) in PocketPC phone edition. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

OK, after bricking my TyTN during an upgrade, I did get an i-mate JASJAM. I do like the color scheme much better and find the d-pad infinitely better to use than the design on the TyTN.

Anyway, I upgraded to the Cingular 1.16 radio ROM yesterday. I had been having all sorts of problems in my apartment in NYC where the device would constantly turn itself on due to an unstable UMTS network connection. Anyway, since upgrading the radio ROM I've seen an increase in network sensitivity, but more importantly, I now have a totally stable network connection and the device no longer turns itself on every 2 minutes! Thank you for extracting this radio ROM!

Incidentally, I know I'm not supposed to see this, but I've seen an increase in Bluetooth performance with my Nokia BH-900. The signal has significantly less static and the range is improved by quite a bit. I know this isn't supposed to happen from a radio ROM, but it did.

THANKS AGAIN!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] lpsi2000:
@CJNYC,

I have had the JasJam from the day it was released and made available and I love the device. I like the style and color and it is much more stable then the JasJar. I was having signal issues constantly with the JasJar but I now I enjoy having a device that is working with no drop calls.

I upgraded to the Cingular Radio as well but I am not sure if it made a difference for me. Nonetheless, I am glad someone from TriState is enjoying their device as well.

Funny thing a month ago I took my phone in part of LI where my previous phone could not keep a signal for no more than 5 mins, the JasJam worked as if it was business as usual and no drop calls.

Hi Asukal;

Follow ur step to upgrade to 1.16, but it have been 30min, my dopod screen still showing" Upgrade Radio Stack Please Wait..." and my computer side showing 38% progress(didn't move for sometime). pls help/advice

From previous experience with my XDA IIs (Blue Angel) radio rom upgrades affect all wireless signals - wifi, BT and GSM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Are you _really_ sure?? I also come from a BA, and from my previous experience I can tell you it is not related in any way to BT/WIFI: BT is controlled by broadcom / widcomm stack, IIRC the latest version for BA is 3900. WLAN is handled by the Texas Instruments ACX100 driver in OS ROM.

Searched the forums now and found different opinions:

Users stating that radio ROM is GSM only:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=884746&postcount=26

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=891602&postcount=110

Users stating that radio ROM also affects bt/wifi:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=254968

The wiki has the following pages on the Radio Interface Layer:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RIL

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=rilgsm.dll

I haven't found any reference to BT or wifi here, that's why my assumption is that these are separate things and Radio ROM just handles GSM and GSM data parts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] efjay:
Historically radio rom upgrades have been reported as having an effect on Wifi and BT and if memory serves I have seen such an improvement; not always obvious but present. This post from the BA radio 1.15 thread seems to validate my point:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=873046&postcount=62

This person however reported no changes:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=872384&postcount=59

Reading through the thread there are other reports on how the upgraded affected Wifi or BT in some way or another. Previous radio rom upgrade threads showed the same pattern. So the effects of a radio rom upgrade seem to show up in different ways for different users. Maybe someone like Asukal can shed more light on this. In any case I will be trying it myself this weekend so will be able to judge for myself and will report what i find.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
I think it is a placebo effect on users, when you upgrade the "radio" you "feel" like bt/wifi/irda and whatever related to radio should be upgraded... but it does really nothing to wifi and BT... only the GSM radio stack is updated and this has effect into GSM signal, AT command interface, gsm data modem (3G, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, etc...)

I've found this post from mamaich supporting my theory:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=877910&postcount=3

I've also readed about users who screw their radio rom while trying to unlock a device, in the boot screen they get "Radio NONE" instead of the radio rom version, and when they boot the OS wifi and bluetooth works, but GSM doesn't and in the phone app they get a message about "invalid SIM", but wifi and BT are still working.

Anyway... I say this without a true knowledge on the radio rom part, and I can be wrong, but I prefere to have a technical explanation (which I can't find) than "feelings" reported from users when they upgrade the radio rom.

Another European upgrade by me. It first show me ID country error but just rerun the Updater without disconnecting USB and the upgrade run smoothly.At the end gave me the classic error but the radio stack is 1.16.00.00 and works fine.

Next days I will check for improvements.

My fist notice is that with this update after soft reset it gets signal from GSM or UMTS network very fast.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chamelion:
i got the same error other people reported-- it does the udpate and then says there was an error. a quick reboot once it was done and i'm set!

signal strength = WHOA. its gone from 1 bar tops to a strangely very varying 3-4 bars on my vario II.

call quality is undoubtedly better. haven't tried gprs yet (3g), will give that a shot now...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pietrucci:
I understand, before upgrading you need to bring your device into bootloader mode (OK + ON/OFF + softreset) and disable usb in ActiveSync?

Perhaps this could be added to the wiki FAQ page? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms /?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
You can start the upgrade from bootloader or from OS (it will restart and go into bootloader anyway), starting from bootloader is faster as you skip 1 step of the flashing process.

Hi,

Original Radio ROM Version:1.06.00.10.

I write down the step and attached photo to proof it.

1. Extract the contents of the compressed file you've downloaded and run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

2. It will show the ""ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR", do not disconnect the device, run MaUpgradeUt_noID again.

3. This time the Radio ROM is refreshing and show at computer screen (Photo 1). At the same time, my 838pro screen will turn white and show "Upgrade Radio Stack Please wait........." (Photo 2)

4. After 20 mins., computer will show a error (Photo 3) and my 838pro is still showing "Upgrade Radio Stack Please wait........." (Photo 2). Don't worry, the Radio ROM is refreshed and soft reset to get it work.

5. The Radio ROM is refreshed and shown at device information (Photo 4)

Radio Upgrade from 1.14 to 1.16

Hi all,

I have just read through all the posts here and I am stuck in a point. Maybe you can help.

I have a HTC TyTn which came with the following loads:

ROM: 1.18.255.3 07/22/06

Radio: 1.03.03.10

Bootloader: 1.04

After I ran a CID Unlock (which finished succesfully), I upgraded to the 1.18.416.1 07/22/06 ROM load (including Bootloader 1.06 and Radio 1.14). Now I would like to upgrade only the Radio from 1.14 (included in the ROM upgrade) to the Radio 1.16 found on the site.

I see it should not be possible since my Bootloader currently is 1.06. But I understood that by doing the CID unlock, I should be able to run the Radio upgrade, even with Bootloader 1.06. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I tried to run this upgrade 1.14 to 1.16 and it stays at 0% and gives me the ERROR114 after a while (5 mins).

Could you please advice?

Thanks in advance,

alex
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
You're wrong. Radio upgrade needs "rtask" command which has been removed in bootloader 1.06, no matter if your device is CID Unlocked or not.

This is answered on the wiki here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades

Please edit it if you feel it is not clear enough, I'm not English native speaker and sometimes is difficult to "explain" :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ionutz6:
Thanks a lot, I was wrong. The explanation was very clear, just that I have read all these info today in a couple of hours and at one point got confused.

So the morale of the story would be: Once you do a ROM upgrade (which normally includes Bootloader 1.06), there will be no separate Radio upgrades available. Also, if I had upgraded the Radio only to 1.16 and then upgrade ROM to a version including Bootloader 1.06, the Radio version would have been changed to the one included in the ROM upgrade, am I right?

Ok, I guess I'll stick to the Radio 1.14 included in the ROM upgrade and forget about Radio 1.16 or 1.20.

Also, one other little thing: I haven't seen in any threads, other than Hermes for Beginners, the mention that after the ROM upgrade one should NOT run a backup in order to restore applications, in which case the ROM is downgraded to the original one, at least in Control panel at Device Information. Am I correct?

thanks,

ionutz

ps. I am no english native either... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Yes.

Yes, tools like sprite backup usually backup also some ROM files which cause trouble if restoring after a ROM upgrade. Is not advised to restore from backup, better to reinstall all apps manually and sync the PIM stuff.
