use SSPL to load 1.01 or 1.10 SSPL and find out with rtask a and rversion
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
I used Oli 1.01 loaded with Des SSPL. But since I used a 0108 bootloader prior the upgrade, my info is not reliable.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
if the new radio has a new HTC_BOOT it WILL change dude, what are the results?!

(if its 0107 in the new radio ofcourse it wont change)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
Correct, thats why my 0108 is not reliable. I agree that it's logical that the bootloader is not posterior to 0108 since it may had changed mine...

So, I bet for 0108!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] LegolasTheElf:
If the radio BL is 0108 and you already have 0108, nothing happens.

If the radio BL is 0107 and you already have 0107, nothing happens.

If the radio BL is 0107 and you already have 0108, nothing happens as 0108 will not downgrade

If the radio BL is 0108 and you already have 0107, it will UPGRADE to 0108.

If the radio BL is 0109 (or newer), and you already have 0107 OR 0108 it will UPGRADE to 0109 (or newer).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
So now, did the command return 0108??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
Yes, I already say that!!!!

It's a guess. Logical, but a guess :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] weinson:
I have been distracted for a bit ..now have a few moments... I think I was on BL 1.09 before going Hard SPL .. so do you still want me to check my radio BL version? I tried running the SSPL-HERM exe file I downloaded, but get an error (not a valid win 32 program) on my machine.

I am happy to check my device if someone gives me a little direction on how to do so (since it does not seem possible with mtty)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
Execute in under Windows Mobile, not windows XP or vista :D

This will start SSPL 1.09 Des in your mahine but rtask command is deactivated so you can't check your rversion with it. But you can use it to start 1.01 Oli SSPL.

BTW: Radio bootloader is totally different to SPL. So, the fact that you got 1.09 SPL before upgrading to Hard SPL doesn't means anithing. It depend of your prior radio version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] weinson:
ah ha ... well that explains why SSPL-HERM would not run :) [I feel like a n00b]. At any rate, off to another meeting, but when I get back I will take another run at this ... unless someone else has answered the question in the interim.

I am curious to see this "new ROM" that Shogunmark got his hands on .... maybe there will be a treat this evening? I would at least like to know what device it was originally designed for.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walshieau:
Calm down all.... just compared Bootloaders and its still 108... :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Karzi:
I may have a go at this later, its a shame theres no changelogs from HTC for public viewing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
Ive repackaged the Radios in the wiki to use CustomRUU. They should flash like this one did now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] guapinoy:
superb job everyone...can't wait for the rom ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
the rom is a bloated cingular rom... but its aku3.5.2
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
These are good news cause it's probable that the upcoming HTC Europe upgrade may be AKU 3.5.2 too. I hope.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] elivne:
A bit off topic, did any one find some new info about AKU 3.3 and up?

I cant find any DATA on AKU 3.5... :o

oh, TNX for the ROM&RADIO! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
here is a screen shot i was going to attach earlier.. now i have already moved some junk around cause i like my stuff all pretty and clean.. but you will see some new icons that were added... X button also integrated as well as disable/enable proxy shortcuts... also cingular has gotten slick and changed the my isp connection to utilize the isp.cingular APN instead of wap.cingular... mobitv icon and Cellular Video was added..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] guapinoy:
oh yeah that's bloated...good ol' att! how bout PTT or BBC they still got those? thanks for the screen shots
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
PTT is still there.. BBC is gone.. but i will post this tonight when i get home.. well i will repackage it when i get home.. the new rom release's are a 2 part upgrade, the first RUU tries to update your SPL, then the RUU for the rom runs.. i am going to repackage it to get rid of the SPL problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
anyway... this is getting off the radio topic... so we can continue this when a new thread is started when the cingular rom is uploaded...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walshieau:
the 'RUUWrapper' is packaged with all new ROM updates from HTC and Operators from a few months ago... the RUUWrapper try's to load SPL 1.11 onto your device before it flashes... as it uses a new RUU... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] boz:
Thanks for the info shogunmark, is there anything new worth ripping out for WM6?

Has any one got any reports please on the the radio version, is it an improvement?

:)

EDIT:- sod waiting, I will try the new radio version myself!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
but this also bombs the phone if you are still using 1.01MFG :D one of my friends found that out today... when it fails to load 1.11 it sticks the phone into bootloader, gotta get out mtty and use the set 14 0 command to get it back..

i dont see anything really good to rip out.. except maybe the enable/disable proxy scripts..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walshieau:
didnt realise it created temporary bricks if you have 1.01MFG... well you learn something every day :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
I don't understand why had 1.01MFG installed nowadays :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] boz:
Ok thanks for that, I am about to upgrade the radio will shout if it is good or bad, cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
cause i still do all my flashing through mtty so its never changed... i like the 5 minute flashes!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
RUUWrapper with 1.40 Olipro takes more or less the same time and is more secure (you will not triple check the numbers you write).

But, my real question is; why to got 1.01 installed in the machine since you can got installed 1.40 Olipro as security measure and starts 1.01 -even patched- with SSPL if you really loves it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
so this is a Cingular radio upgrade.... hmmm I might go for it and see how it fares with the call-drop issues that seem to be pervasive out here... tks shogunmark!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
what im saying is that all the flashing i have done has always been through mtty... so i have just never loaded a different spl.. have always kept it at 1.01 just changed os and ext rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
yes, you are correct sir ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
Yeah, I understand you. But, IMHO, you are risking your machine in every flash. There is no difference in start 1.01 from the machine than from the SSPL but there is a BIG difference in have the Hard SPL installed in case of a brick.

But I think I'll not convince you.

Hmmm... Cingular Radio ROM. Sweet. I guess I'll be upgrading tomorrow morning. I just finally upgraded to 1.38.30.11. Heh. The fun never stops!:D Will report back tomorrow with my impressions (if everyone else hasn't beaten me to it.) Thanks guys!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] boz:
Why have they left this at boot 108 when the last were 1.11, doesn't it seems a late release compared to the dates included with the info?

Bet your bottom dollar they will include this radio with the HTC Europe rom if they ever release one! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
1.11 is the SPL dude, this doesnt have an SPL as it is radio only, the radio loader is 0108.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] layer1:
Well, I went to the store, pickup dinner, did some conditioning for soccer and still couldn't shake the twitch to upgrade. :eek: So, I caved in and upgraded.

I will be in the office tomorrow, so this will give me the chance to test the battery in a 3G market (DC area). Will most likely have Exchange Push enable and Bluetooth.

Will post my report tomorrow night.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] lpsi2000:
I was doing the same for while, then switch over to 1.40 Oli. The flashing time is about the same. I do occasionally go back to 1.01 for other reasons.

Radio killed the Widcomm stack...

Just hard booted Pro Black 2. Was running widcomm BT stack. After flash, widcomm stack went HAYWIRE. Soft boot didn't solve it, the "not enough memory" error message just kept popping up every 10 seconds. Couldn't turn BT on or off through the stack.

Don't think I'm going to reinstall the stack for now. Otherwise, reception seems better, but don't have 3G at home. Two bars in the elevator.

Excellent Post ShogunMark. Thanks so much MrVanX for packaging. Would like to post some tests I did. 3G always on, No Wifi, No BT, Always connected to internet. during these tests the phone never went standby, full internet use always on MSN AOL and YAHOO. (IM+ or Octrotalk) with some emulators, games, lots of internet use. Email checking.

Well, ran into one issue with the 1.40.30.00 Radio.... MobiTV wouldn't authorize. I went back down to 1.38.00.10 and all is good again. Just a little FYI...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Percz:
The new ROM seems to of fixed an issue I was having getting relayed DHCP IP assignments from Linksys routers (Wi-Fi), it always worked on Belkin but not always on Linksys. Anyway this has cleared it somehow.

Can't say I've noticed any change on the signal or battery.

Upgraded last night with a full charge. So far things are looking good... the battery is holding (not the usual decent to flatness) and the 3G signal at home seems to be a tad better... or its just my imagination :rolleyes: ... either way, it works so I'm sticking with it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] randomelements:
Unplugged from charge at 6am this morning. Now at 12:27 it's just dropped to 70%.

This seems a bit better than the 1.38's.

So far I've done a bit of browsing and Direct Push is on.

I still have to switch to GSM in the office due to poor 3G signal causing dropouts in voice signal so that incoming calls get bounced straight to voicemail. It's about time they got those issues fixed.

Battery life and reception better here then with 1.38 and I am sticking to this radio. Thanks for the post!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] goestoeleven:
I agree! I was getting absolutely horrible battery life (strong UMTS/HSDPA coverage) with 1.38, but 1.40 is already like night-and-day. With the prior radio, I suffered my first battery drainages ever (I was shocked).

In fact, simply upgrading to the 1.40 radio caused my Pocket Plus battery indicator to jump from "0:27" to "1:37" minutes remaining on a full charge. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] todd_jg:
I, like most here, have found better battery life with 1.40.30.00.

Reception "seems" better, but will need more testing to verify.

Stupid Question Time

Okay time for someone to ask the obvious question. I have 1.40 Olipro, do I use the force spl option or do I use autodetect or one of the other tick boxes?

I have 1.40Olipro, but I use force SSPL. Worked fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] weinson:
What I did was to tick the following boxes:

- SPL 1.11/1.13/1.30.1.35/1.40 oli

and

- Is it Hard SPL

I did not use "Force using SSPL" .. and no real need for the autodetect (if you are sure you are 1.40 oli)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Bacco:
Anyone run speed tests with this radio?

My download is 500 and upload is 252. In NYC I can't seem to get much better than that. Once in a while I get up near 700, but hardly on a consistent basis.

EDIT: Oh, and I ran the tests 4 times, 2 times the download was in the 400 range. I am within the HSDPA network, the icon is there.

Pretty much the same speeds I've always had with the 1.38 radio...the signal is a bit better.

Thanks for the upgrade.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] RabanJr:
I have been using 1.38.30.10 for a couple of days and after about ten hours of normal use with BT on was at 20%.

I have upgraded without a hitch.

I will see where I am at after ten hours.

So for so good

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] todd_jg:
weinson - are there any advantages or disadvantages to either method? If you use 1.40oli + Hard SPL, do you start of in BL mode then? Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vp3G:
The "correct" and most efficient way to use the RUU is to select either auto-detect or your SPL version and optionally "Is it hard SPL?".

While forcing SSPL will work, using it for a non-SPL flash is pretty much defeating the purpose of the custom RUU. It is the slower route (exponentially for a radio flash). The option is really intended for upgrade/downgrade of the SPL itself.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vp3G:
See my prior post (#93). Always forcing SSPL is defeating the purpose of the custom RUU. The newer SPL's can flash a radio ROM in a fraction of the time. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] todd_jg:
Wow - thanks. Due to my lack of technical knowledge, I tend to take the "safe" route a lot. I will use the "correct" option next time. I always wondered how people got those mythical 5 minute radio rom upgrades.:o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] marka2k:
Ok stupid question of the day:

I ran the update and used auto detect for the SPL went through the update process (guessing about 15m) reset. Under settings, device information it is reporting back that the radio is 1.38 (which was installed prior) going to try again, anyone experience this?

EDIT: Second time around same thing :(

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vp3G:
And now you know! ;) I'm not sure it's ever been explained why the later SPL's are so much more efficient -- if it was, I missed it. I believe it mysteriously came about with 1.11 (which is the basis of 1.40.Olipro). And that's your history lesson for today. :D

I updated last night here in Sacramento. The reception indicator seems to be a bit more stable. With 1.38.00.10 I would vary between 2 and 0 bars of 3G reception. This new radio seems to hold steady at 2 bars or 1 bar instead of constantly changing.

GSM service seems to be a bit better. I have fewer gaps (phone will miss half a second of audio or something) in voice calls.

I upgraded yesterday, so far no question at all - battery life is much, much improved over 1.38.00.10. With that version I'd barely make it 8 hours in a day before the battery died - this is with less than 30 minutes of calling/data sessions. With this version I was at 12+ under the same use and still at 20%.

Reception in Austin is just as good - speed tests on DSL reports are the same for 3g (385-500) and no dropped calls yet. Over all seems to be a very solid radio upgrade.
