[Touch GSM ROM Development] STRAFALCIONE:

My sister wont trust me, she sent the phone to the shop, they said no any hardware issue... its running latest ipl n spl and running wm6.5.. any idea anyone? thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] STRAFALCIONE:
Could some please advice me which radio (not the last ones) is better, stable etc?:):)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sbettencourt:
version 03.34.90
[Touch GSM ROM Development] STRAFALCIONE:
OK, but for ELF as well?

I had the version 03.34.90, but I occurred to have people calling me and I never dispalyed any of their calls. They told me they call me without answer (free line rings)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sbettencourt:
For ELF and ElFin ( P3450, P3451, P3452 ), 100% sure!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] STRAFALCIONE:
It seemed not stable for my P3450: strange behaviors as I told you before.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] STRAFALCIONE:
I confirm also that radio 03.39.30 is not stable in my ELF, even installing the fix. I come back to the 03.21.90:confused::(:p

New radio looks good

Hi

I just started to play with my wife's old Elfin (as she got a new phone) and flashed Onyx micro 6.1 rom and now flashed this radio... the first impression is a dramatic net speed increase using opera mini 5.1... and a more stable EDGE signal.

After soft reset the net connetion buildup is also much faster.

So far so good
[Touch GSM ROM Development] teikiatsu:
i'm not understand how to upgrade he radio..

i'm using elf P3450 ROM onyx 6.5 build 13 . anyone can help me?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] aaaccc:
I get Incorrect device message too.:confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] STRAFALCIONE:
Find the correct fix file (the .cab works, the .exe not).

You should find it in some pages of this post.

Anyway:I used this radio with the fix on my ELF, it seemed working well, but it happened sometimes that who called me heard ringins, while my phone did not ring neither received the call.

I don't know whether the problem was the fix file or the radio, I had no time and hence I downgraded the radio to the 3.12.90 that worked well.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] HipHopBlond:
Last step to updating everything :P (now I just need to find an adequate WM6.5.3 late build rom) :D

Thanks a lot to the uploader, flash process weant fast, smooth with no errors. / I hope it stays that way for the future :D

EDIT: I've been using the 03.39.90 radio rom for a while and it drained my battery super fast.. so I switched to the previous version and now it's all good :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] HipHopBlond:
Could somebody suggest the best rom for battery life?

Thoughts

I have with my custom ROM, Radio 03.07.90. Should I make the upgrade? Pros/Cons?

Thanks gang
[Touch GSM ROM Development] aharjono:
usually newer version will give us better reception and better battery life

03.12.90 surely has bad reception, it is fixed in 03.18.90, I wonder what will this version fix in the 03.18.90, maybe longer battery life, because I believe after flashing mine to 03.18.90, my battery life is much shorter.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] @rj*n:
thinking

would doing the uspl update by placing th radio's nbh file in th romupdate utility do anything to my already installed rom??:confused: n does installing/upgrading any new ROM affect the radio ver????

m currently using Merliot's Diamond (WWE) ROM.. radio ver# 02.93.90!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
nope. only the radio will be updated. ur OS (Merliot's Diamond ROM) will remain untouched.

and it depends on the ROM ur installing. if the ROM has radio included in it, then it will overwrite the previous radio version.

custom ROMs are made in such a way that only OS part is updated and the other parts are given for the user to choose and install. like radio

Flashing Radio only

Hi,

I'm a newbie in this forum, but have experience on flashing phones, so I'll try to expose my question as clearly as I can:

I have an ELF0100

ROM version: 1.11.707.1B WWE

ROM date: 05/24/07

Radio version: 02.95.90

Protocol version 4.1.13.45

CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)

I noticed (and got complaints) that sometimes the signal is not very good, so I want to upgrade the radio version, I've read here that I need to flash USPL first and the the radio upgrade using HTC ROM tool.

My question is: If I do so, will I loose everything I installed so far? Do I need to reinstall everything again? If so, is there a way to make it less painful?:D

My next question is about OS version, I noticed this one has some strange behaviour sometimes, is there a newer version which is really stable? If so, what are the improvements?

SW I installed so far:

CE-star (chinese characters)

Dinarsoft Memmaid

SKtools

Total commander

Coreplayer

Macromedia flash player

spb mobile shell, phone suite, pocket plus, time, full screen keyb, backup

Quickmenu

taskmanager

mobipocket reader

Thank you very much in advance!

And great site! keep up the good work!

1.flashing a radio or a USPL (chose it according to ur phone) doesnt cost u any data/sw.

2.there are many cooked ROMs with new versions/builds already. u can use anyone.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kare2share:
2.93.90 versus 3.21.90

3.21.90 is definately better (or should I say excellent)

lower battery drain

better reception ( gives me full signal at spots where the 2.93.90 used to flicker between no signal and 3 bars [75%])

switching of relay transceiver stable while travelling in and out of home network (roaming)

one strange thing I noticed is that recordings on PMRecorder is clear now after I loaded the 3.21.90 but I had not checked before I loaded a new ROM Elf(in) Shadow 2.1 TE which has the 3.21.90 as the radio. So i really don't know what has improved the recording ..the ROM or the RADIO.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] erwinsie:
hi all, just want to let you know, i managed to flash this radio in my ELF (not elfin) and its alright sofar.. will this be ok or i should not use this for elf ??? thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] captkkk:
Shadow 2.1TE is loaded with a 3.07.90, not 21
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Fego:
Thank you man!!

I finally did it, everything went smoothly! Now I'm enjoying a much better radio behaviour (no complaints from the other side anymore), longer battery, etc, etc...

Now I'm wondering whether I should install Blue Elves 4 or 5 (I got an Elf 64MB), and reading the complete thread, but man! that is one long thread! I'll post in there though, this is not the place.

Anyway, thanks for your tip, it helped me put together the courage to say goodbye to the warranty and flash on my own ;)

BR

Ferran
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
i suggest you try blue elves 5 for starters. i m sure u wil like it ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] erwinsie:
dont worry about warranty, if u need to return your phone just flash back to the original shipped ROM they'll not know :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Mauriffe:
Hi folks,

I have just upgrade my Touch Elf with Bleu Elves Rom v5.0. It works great!

So now i want to update the radio to 03.21.90.

In your opinion, Is my Touch CID unlock after the Bleu Elves update? (for me no, I read that it bypass the CID).

Can I update the radio with this method :

- By following the steps of the installation of the rom Elves Blue v5.0 but instead of loading with RUU Blue_Elves_v5_0.nbh, I load RUU_Signed.nbh ?

I may have misunderstood something, can you light me up?

Thx
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tribalhere:
i have download the file and wanted to upgrade the radio but my always stop at the steps when my htc touch enchanced screen change to a screen with 3 colours and my laptop showing the installation but it suddenly prompt me file error.can anyone advise me what happened?i had try it alot of times and still facing the same problem.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ryshah:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
u have to run pof's USPL before u flash anything like radio or rom. cos the phone needs to be unlocked before u can flash anything
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tribalhere:
i think i had installed the radio rom successfully but how come the device information still showing the old radio version.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
its not possible if u did a successful flash of the radio.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tribalhere:
correct me if i'm wrong,i had download the RUU_Signed.nbh file and i put it together in the same folder with ROMUpdateUtility.in the folder,beside thid 2 file,there are afew more file like : EnterBootloader,ErrorUSB.fig,rapitool,ruu,RUUGetInfo,ErrorBattery.fig,ModelID.fig,RUUResource.dll.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
there are many people who have used the RUU_Signed.nbh given on the first page. nobody else has a problem with that. so i guess u may have flashed a wrong nbh.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tribalhere:
ok...i will try to download it and do it again.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tribalhere:
yes,,,it been updated...thanks for all the advise and help.now it's time for me to think should i update the ROM to 6.1. i did read it that if we update,we will lost all the information in our device....and i've got alot of info and can't afford to lose it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:

Can anyone tell me if the Elfin is capable of 3G on the Rogers network in Canada? On HTC's website if you go directly yo Products and select the Touch it says "blazing fast 3G speeds"......But if you click the Rogers icon and select the Touch, it says only GPRS/EDGE...???? Now I know we have 3G with the iPhone so can we or can't we get 3G speeds on Rogers with an Elfin?

make sure you flashed the lates USPL http://rapidshare.de/files/40265748/USPL_2.28.0000_with_IPL_2.27.zip.html

then just flash the radio

I have the same rom and made the mistake of not flashing to latest and almost pulled my hair out lol
[Touch GSM ROM Development] :
Onyx rom comes with the latest radio rom. why flash again?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
no! radio are not included in cooked roms

NO! Onyx doesnt include the RADIO rom

cooks never include SPL, IPL and Radio as these can either cause advantages to user or damages even.

so cooks dont take more risks than they already have!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] :
hmm.interesting indeed. I flashed this rom, and when i check. I found that my radio rom is 03.21.90. But before that, I was using TESSv2.4
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
you can try NBHExtract.exe tool on this rom or TESS v2.4 rom

if u get any radio rom extracted...lemme know...i wil slap myself

Problem upgrading radio (and CID Unlocking)

Hi Gurus,

I simply want to upgrade my Radio from 02.95.90 to 03.21.90. Read through all the 8 pages here and most of the pages from the other thread by Aman as well.

Problem:

1) -Phone remains CID unlocked after running elf-uspl.exe

(CID unlocked checked using mtty tool..It was FF. I understand that unless its CID unlocked, I cant flash a Radio or any other part of the ROM. )

2) - Active Sync doesnt work in the 3rd step of elf-uspl. Step 1 and Step 2 complete fine and when it proceeds to Step 3 where the AS greys out and it asks to press enter, I press enter, accept the first screen and the disclaimer that comes with it, goto second screen where it asks to ensure that the AS is working fine and the connection is also fine

is where the problem comes

. I did a soft reset and tried out various other methods as well, but I keep on getting either USB Connection Error or Image file corrupted error.

Already tried out :

-For the Active Sync problem which always crops up in the 3rd step of elf-uspl, unchecked (and checked out) the Enable Advanced Networking functionality in PC to USB setting

-MicroSD card had already been taken out

-Same for SIM Card as well (Shud I try this with SIM Card in the phone?)

-Had followed the sequence -> Hard Reset, running the cab files in the order mentioned, Soft Reset (by powering off and powering on)...But in the 3rd step, when it launches the ROMUpdate utility automatically, the second screen there is where I face an issue - as it suddenly stops detecting the phone through AS.

Am I missing something there? Here is my ELF's Info :

Touch version : Elf

Device ID : ELF010000

CID : ORANG001

IPL : 1.16.0002

SPL : 1.16.0000

ROM Version : 1.16.61.1

ExtROM Version : None

Operator Version: 23.116.1.611

AKU Version : 0.2.3

Page Pool : 8 MB

RAM Size : 64 MB

ROM Size : 128 MB

Model No. : ELF0305

Thanks a bunch for looking into this, I spent 6-7 hours last evening without any success.

Oh and yes, I have tried this with ELF_USPL_1.17.0000 on a Windows XP Professonal SP2 laptop.

Cheers

Sam

PS : Really want to upgrade the Radio as the GSM reception sucks big time on my HTC Touch. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
have u tried after changing the USB port or the PC? also, did u try to reinstall activesync on the PC?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sam_htc_touch:
thanks for the quick reply Aman, I shall try reinstalling the AS and see if it works. The USB Port works fine for the first two steps of elf-uspl and always fails in the third step when it launches RomUpdater Utility. Anyways, shall try out the same after work in evening.

Cheers

Sam
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sam_htc_touch:
Just tried again:

A couple of observations on my ELF :

1. After doing a hard Reset, it does some customization and restarts. (Is this customization causing some issue?)

2. Enable RAPI was indeed done after CERT_SPCS

3. Using ELF USPL 1.17, I ran the elf_uspl.exe file. Step 1 and Step 2 work like a charm, no issues with that.

4. Step 3 - Here is what happens -> AS becomes grey, which is correct I believe and the Phone shows White Screen (after showing Linux screen for a few seconds and saying something like jumping to System..)

5. Here is where the issue comes - After pressing Enter it launches PDA Phone ROM Update Utility, when I goto second screen it asks me to make sure that AS is working fine. I tried using different USB ports, removing and downloading and installing AS again. But to no avail, AS just refuses to connect with my phone while the phone is showing white screen.:mad:

Confused. am I doing something wrong here or missing some small thing?

Any help or pointers much much appreciated!!

Cheers!

if your htc have the IPL 2.xxx you must use "ELF & ELFIN IPL 2.26.0002 & USPL 2.26.0000"

NO. There were no IPLs/SPLs/Radio/MainSplash files ever included in my ROMs. That would have been unethical if I had done so without mentioning it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sam_htc_touch:
Update : Guys, I had wrongly assumed at this point that AS needs to be working and in green colour. This assumption was wrong, AS need not be green, and grey is perfectly Ok!

Thanks to kokotas for pointing this out and making my day! The White screen itself means that the phone is temporarily CID Unlocked now! So just go ahead to the next screen where it doesnt show any current version of ROM and just flash with the correct .nbh file.

You need a tool called ROMUpdateUtility. Please spend sometimes reading other posts and don't do anything until you understand these stuffs well enough.

I started here about two weeks ago and spent the first week reading it without doing anything. I now have my Elfin updated to the latest & greatest.

I'd almost bricked (killed) my phone once when the update didn't go through entirely.

Good luck.

Upgrade to V03.21.90 on Elf

Hi !

I upgrade my HTC elf 128/64, all work ok. but i can´t see any reason to do that. No reason to upgrade.

working on wlan: perhaps a litle lower sensibility
[Touch GSM ROM Development] thejoker01:
I just tried it and for some reason I can't get it working on my Elfin. I know I already CID unlocked it before because I'm running Shadow TE 2.1 custom firmware, do I have to cid unlock again? Every time I try to use the utility it gets to 79% and then says the image is corrupted.

EDIT: nvm, upgraded to USPL 2.26pof and now it works thanks!

here are my phone details

The radio update reaches 79% and then i get the "invalid model id" error.
