Have you tried doing a hard reset? You may need to start over by flashing the original ROM from the bootloader screen and then Unlock SDA and flash the ROM of you choice. Do you notice the number of people who view your post; see you need some help, but offer none?
[HTC Excalibur] mydreamisrich:
Thank. I tried hard reset but the same error after restart. I don't know original ROM for my mobile because I downloaded all ROM in forum and tried but the same error.

My phone is:

EXCA 100

FCC ID:NM8EXCA

and in the bootload:

Excalibur

ONBL 1.22.0000

SPL 1.22.0000

Who can help me???

I've posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531099 previously, but I think that's the wrong forum, so mods, sorry for bothering you.

I'm about to buy an HTC Touch, and I have a few questions.

1. What is the difference between HTC Touch Viva and HTC Touch? Wiki says this:

"The HTC Touch Viva and HTC Touch 3G have a version of TouchFLO 3D that lacks the 3D visual effects found on other devices with TouchFLO 3D. HTC is also calling this significantly different user interface TouchFLO"

Is this correct? What exactly is the difference? I

2. I have two options of HTC Touch 3452 to buy (used).

The first one has WM 6.0, and is cheaper, and it's home screen looks like this:

The second one has , has WM 6.1, and it's home screen looks somthing like this:

Is it possible to upgrade the WM6.0 one to WM6.1? I presume it is. If I do, will it become just like the one with WM 6.1 originally?

Sorry if the question sounds complicated.

EDIT:

3. There are two versions of the HTC touch, one with double the RAM of the other. How do I check how much ram does the phone have?

:confused: what exactly is all that code for??? I downloaded Igo8 for my Tilt and thers no .exe file or setup file any wheres.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] FileFixer:
You must run AUTORUN.exe located in "2577" folder to install iGO 8. When you install iGO, exe file is located in Program Files -> iGO 8. Inside iGO folder, you will be find "sys.txt". Open it in txt editor on your computer and paste this iGO commands to it. Replace your sys.txt with it and start iGO.

If you don`t any map on MAPS folder iGO will dont be start properly.

application.dat is iGO8.exe file. Just reneme it and start iGO8 without install.

I did the same thing as you sad.But still having "Program application database cannot be found.Please insert original application SD card" I'm try'ing to use IGO 8.3.2 67483 which i found it perfect on my Diamond.But its not working on blackstone.The other IGO iGO 8.3.2.83157 and iGO 8.3.2 93112 are working but not this one.What should I do?

Oh sorry about this I thought that i should only change sys text in device program files.I also should change it in the storage card IGO folder this time no message as i sad before.But this time it says in advanced mode "Failed to open file :ico_findplace.bmp exiting application".Thinking that i wont able to use it.

Copy IGO8 & 2577 folder to SD, install, replace the branding.zip and some other thing.zip files in the igo8 folder then edit the sys.txt...

Any help?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] telegraph0000:
It means you don't have the resolution for it. Open up the data.zip in the igo folder and look up to see if 480x800 (or 800x480) is included in the folders. If it's not, then that's your problem. You'll need a data.zip file that supports that resolution.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] FileFixer:
Branding.ZIP\ui_igo8\480_800\loading.bmp is right branch for locate this *.bmp file. You don`t have correct Branding.zip file.

most ofthese settings are for tweaking - the importabnt ones are the Bold.

Also don't forgett that when you have installed igo with the 2511 you have a directoy under Programs which also contains the sys.txt - in this case this sys.txt would be the one used from the application.

**DO NOT USE ANY OF THESE RADIOS ON A GSM PHONE! YOU WILL END UP WITH A BRICK IF YOU DO! ON THE SAME NOTE, DO NOT USE ANY GSM RADIOS ON A CDMA PHONE OR YOU WILL END UP WITH A BRICK!**

I take no credit for acquiring these radios. This is simply a collection of information from various sources (mainly PPCGeeks forums). I hope everyone finds it useful.

Does my phone have to be unlocked in order to flash my radio?

- Yes. If you do not know how to unlock your phone, use the SEARCH feature. There are plenty of threads with help on unlocking your phone.

How do I find out what radio I'm currently running?

- Dial ##786# and scroll down to "Firmware Version" and that will tell you which version radio you are running.

Can I use any radio for any carrier?

- Yes! You can mix and match all of these radios with different CDMA carriers. For instance I am currently under contract with Sprint but I'm using a Verizon radio with absolutely no problems. Get it?

Which radio is best for me?

- Too many variables come into play when it comes to your radio on your phone. The BEST way to find out which radio is best for you is to flash it and try it! Give it a couple of days and then try another. I know it's a P.I.T.A. but it is absolutely the very best way to figure out what is best for your phone.

How can I view my signal levels?

- ##33284# is the DEBUG menu. Under here you should look at the following 3 sections (the closer to 0 you are, the better):

Rx Power

Rx Ec/Io

Rx FER

For those of you having issues with the DEBUG menu flashing quickly and returning to the dialer screen, try this cab. Fix Debug Menu

If I flash my radio, does it hard reset my phone?

- Absolutely NOT! It will simply soft reset with no loss of data.

Why should I flash a new radio version on my phone?

- Increased reception reliability & increased battery life. It's simple. The less roaming you do, the better your battery life.

How do I flash my radio?

- The flashing process is IDENTICAL to the ROM flashing process.

1. Download a radio RAR or ZIP file from below

2. Extract the contents of the RAR or ZIP file

3. Plug in your phone to your computer via USB and select ActivSync

4. Execute the "ROMUpdateUtility" and follow the prompts

5. Wait for reboot

6. Done

Note: There is currently no Alltel or Bell stock Touch Pro radio dump. What this means is that if you are currently an Alltel or Bell customer and wish to flash your radio, after the flash you will NOT be able to go back to the stock radio. The Alltel radio listed below was ported from the Diamond. Please consider this BEFORE flashing!!

RADIOS:

ALLTEL

v1.03.13F (Ported from the Diamond. NOT A STOCK TOUCH PRO RADIO)

v1.12.20F

[Touch Pro CDMA] GatorsUF:
thanks for posting this. I understand the purpose of this tread, but just to clarify...If you wanted to flash back to the stock radio for the TP you could flash the original rom correct?

Also when I dial ##786# it flashes for a split second then disappears. (I have Alltel TP)
[Touch Pro CDMA] Beejis:
Mine does the same thing...weird.
[Touch Pro CDMA] r6danl:
Try ##778# or ##778 "Send" and see if that works for you.

I have a Sprint version and that might be the difference. Can anyone confirm this?
[Touch Pro CDMA] flyingwolf:
Question, does this affect the EVDO connection as well, such as if I switch to the Verizon radio (I am on Sprint) will this effect the receive on my EVDO?
[Touch Pro CDMA] r6danl:
It will affect your speed either for better or worse. It will not affect the actual ability for you to connect to the service. For lack of a better word it's a different "antenna" for your phone.

[Touch Pro CDMA] 191:
6 to 1 half a dozen to the other

So, what do you guys think?

Verizon 1.03.09V Radio

Rx Power: ~ -90dbm

Rx Ec/Io: ~ -9db

Rx FER: ~ 1.50%

Alltel 1.12.20F Radio

RX Power: ~ -110dbm

RX Ec/Io: ~ -22db

Rx FER: ~ .50%

Seems that the Verizon radio might have been a bit better right off the bat but the Rx FER percentage is higher, is that normal? (op states that the closer these numbers are to 0 the better) This is my first time flashing a radio to my TP, so I really haven't tested them out. Just wondering if the numbers really mean that much.

Contract is with Alltel, incase anyone was wondering.

Thanks, xda is the freakin' best!

edit: Also is the newer radio version for verizon (higher radio version number) automatically the better verizon radio of the 2 or are they just plain different?
[Touch Pro CDMA] :
Judging by those numbers, the Verizon is better for you. I wouldn't worry too much about that Frame Error Rate as it is too low for you to even notice. The Power and Ec/IO are the most important and the closer to zero the better. The newer version of the radio doesn't mean better. They are all different and will yield different results. Try them all out and log your numbers, then make an informed decision. Hope this helps.

radio format specification

hey all,

i haven't actually done any radio upgrading but am curious as to what the radio actually provides. i did a little searching but didn't find anything.

what exactly does the radio configuration provide? is there an interface that it conforms to? i would assume so as radios are interchangeable between providers. where can i find this?

thanks to all your xda-developers out there!
[Touch Pro CDMA] teflonrico:
Just one question... I just had my Titan replaced for a touch pro by Verizon and i remember when doing the radio on the Titan having to get an A-Key and all that hassle.. do you need to do this on the Touch pro also? Meaning if i flash the updated verizon radio will i need to phone verizon for an A-Key? Thanks

No. You just flash it and it works.

v1.11.00F

[Touch Pro CDMA] dribbs1:
If one radio has better numbers than another, what sort of impact does that have on battery performance? Does it significantly affect improvement / degradation of battery life performance?
[Touch Pro CDMA] :
One could theoretically draw the conclusion that better numbers will improve your battery life simply because you are less likely to roam. Only trial and error will answer your question 100%. From my personal experience, the better the signal, the better the battery life.
[Touch Pro CDMA] dribbs1:
Here's the thing about these numbers:

They will change not only in conjunction with your geographical location on a MACRO level, but also on a MICRO level. For example - my numbers are much better when I'm in my bedroom standing by the window looking down over my driveway (-88db Power, 9db Ec/Io) than when I'm in my basement office (-140db power, 15db Ic/Io), so unless you ONLY use your phone from one spot, it's kinda hard to determine which radio is better by looking at the numbers.

HOWEVER, what is a viable, albeit purely subjective, way to "measure" the effectiveness of each radio is how long it takes to dial or "connect" your call. I think I read that on a previous post (although I can't remember who posted it... sorry folks!) that the true measurement of how a radio affects your performance is in how it acquires a signal to place a call. If it takes 10 seconds to bring up a call, you might want to change radios. I have been running a Cellular South radio for the past 10 days and I'm finding that it's able to connect within 2 seconds or less on MOST calls.

As for the measurements, they are nominally better than the Verizon radio I ran, and a little worse than the latest Sprint radio that was posted on the original message (v1.12.34F).

Anyways, that's what I've got... hopefully this is helpful, me being a NOOB and a wannabe pseudo-techy poser!

L8r!

[Touch Pro CDMA] Kurupt81:
If I have Cricket service will one of these radio's work? Will they help my reception at all? I have the Verizon Pro Touch.
[Touch Pro CDMA] seaweedopm:
I've have a Sprint Touch Pro and used the Sprint Radio v1.12.34F with many different stock and custom ROMs. I've been traveling a lot and hotels and other locations with poor signal I would receive 0 text messages and about 50% of my phone calls. To receive any text messages I would have to place a call, usually just a 30 second call to my voice mail. This connection would flood any text messages into my phone. As you might understand, this made me very upset.

Anyway, I flashed to the Verizon Radio v1.03.09V and text messages came in right when it booted up. I sent myself test text messages from another phone and they came in right away. Hopefully this information will help someone else.
