oh, checked, no such word at the top of the tricolor screen.

besides using experia's radio , so i dont think its necessary to security unlock

oh, i just leave it~ thank you for your help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bonesy:
sorry been busy will post a tutorial on it when i get back from work this evening
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] illuminated:
If the phone gets bricked, what does it mean? Can I reflash it afterwards with another Radio/Rom and fix it or it becomes just a useless garbage?

Phone can be bricked even with the radios in the first post of this thread (phone with HSPL)?

Thanks...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Bricked means bricked. i.e. you can do nothing. Phone won't turn on, you can not enter bootloader, you can not reflash. Phone is as useless as a brick.

To use any radio in this thread you need phone unlocked, otherwise you have an expensive brick
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] illuminated:
Understood. Thanks :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JohnQ:
I flashed the experia radio twice. all failed. get error message in the tricolor screen . i can still flash back to any ROM i like. :cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bonesy:
It isnt failing that bricks it, Everything seems fine flashing then it just wont turn on!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
I wonder if the improvement is psychological? You know sometimes you install something in hope that it's better, and you tend to either change your usual behavior (or being more conservative) so that you can get a better result.

Not trying to doubt your finding, but just throwing aloud. A fellow forumer has tried and from result the improvement is marginal, if there's any improvement.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lunakirb:
no u cant bro, u cannot flash other rom u need to security unlock you phone dude
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JohnQ:
oh, i see

:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] thangbom:
The same with mine here. It goes for 99%, stop for a while, then says error. Mine is unlock (I guess). Back to 1.14 now, but not worse as a brick
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcedric:
everyone with security unlocked hd as no problems installing this radio!

just be sure your security unlocked,go into bootloader and look at the top of the screen if it says SECURITY UNLOCKED:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] c6638746:
Thanks for the new radios! I was really looking forward to flashing something new, it's been a while since the last radio release! I am using the xperia radio. I see improvement in reception in general, good GPS signal, don't care much for Wifi or battery life right now.

Thanks olipro for the unlocker and all your contributions!

I have tested Radio: Xperia 1.16.25.48, it works fine on Blackstone, the signal for 3G is better than with 1.14 (Provider 3 /Austria)

but do not forget to security unlock your rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bonesy:
To help explain.....You have to have purchased the unlocker from olipro, This is easy to tell because the app you use is bought from his site
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JohnQ:
well that's a pity. it's a paid service :D:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ain't free anywhere mate and the creater of any utility/software can offer his hard work for free or for a very small price. IMHO, it's a fare price, plus its free to well established users who have give something to the XDA community.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fards:
so because 1 "fellow forumer" hasnt seen much improvement that puts other peoples experiences into doubt?

theres something wrong with your logic there.. look i didnt break my arm yesterday, but according to your argument anyone who did it must be psychological....

we all know that people have different results from diffeent radios depending on where they live, reception behavioural patterns and lots of other factors.

But I for one can tell you that this radio has improved signal for me. How do I know this? im typing this reply out sitting somewhere where i would not get any coverage at all.. im on 2bars of gprs at the mo'

now it could be that vf decided to upgrade the local cell tower at the exact same time that i flashed yhis radio the other day, but its unlikely, it could also be that they amplyfied the signal at work so that i now get full steady gprs signal wherwas before i had to leave the building to keep a good enough signal to maintain a prolongued voice call.. but i think thats more unlikely..

and then theres the easy test, i flashed back to 1.09 yesterday and all the old issues returned..

so i can categorically say that this radio does exactly what i said it does for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
....and I can also vouch for my results. Before this radio I had to leave my house at times to get signal and now I have no problems with signal anywhere in the house......though the new cell tower built in my garden may have affected this!! :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JohnQ:
:D

well, im the one :D

i got one free from olipro just now.

and i flashed it. waiting for test!

will report later~

PS: Thanks Olipro!

*Radio version:1.16.25.48

*With ROM: Dutty's WM6.5 R9

*Country/Location/Network: Turkey/Istanbul/Turkcell

*Battery life: Too early to tell but I usually get good battery life anyway.

*GPS: Fast lock, about 5 seconds in my living room (close to the window).

*GPRS/3G/EDGE/HSDPA: GPS signal 1 bar more than compared to 1.14. I had problems with calls cutting off in my living room, made a few calls and didn't have that problem.

*WiFi signal: About the same as 1.14, can't really tell the difference.

*General comments: Overall seems to be better than 1.14, will test for a few days, keeping an eye on signal strength and battery heating.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Sorry, you lost me there. Every radio listed in this thread was not intended to be used on the HD, but with Olipro's lock you can use on the HD
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OrionBG:
Just a quick question! I turned the forum upside down but couldn't find what exactly does "security unlocked" means and how you do it! My device is not operator branded and it is unlocked by default. I have HSPLed it and running Dutty's R9. Can some give a qiuck link to the right info please?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes mate, read this, especially the paragraph below 2)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Flycs:
Look at the pinned threads right here in this section of the forums, one is about the Unlocker.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OrionBG:
But my device is SIM unlocked! It has never been locked! I know this thread but in paragraph 2 it talks about SIM unlocking! This is what it says for security unlock:

"Security Unlock lets you flash radios from other devices... technically speaking you can flash any radio, but some will brick it (such as Topaz) - however, Diamond, Raphael and Kovsky should all be fine. It can also be an insurance policy against evil radios - people who had the Kaiser radio from hell will know what I mean."

But no info on how to do it! Is there something I'm missing?

EDIT: I've found the answear! The SIM unlocker does the security unlocking too! Not worth it for me, but thanks for the info any way!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
SIM unlock and security unlock are different things. SIM unlock allows you to use your phone with any operator without restriction. Security unlock has nothing to do with operators, it just allows you to flash radios that were not meant for the HD.

Once you get the unlocker from olipro, there is a bonus option on it that allows you to SIM unlock your HD as well as security unlock it.

I thought that I wouldn't need the security unlocker as well but having some issues with calls cutting off at low signal levels I decided to try radio 1.16 which was only possible after security unlocking.

Thanks olipro, the program was foolproof and worked flawlessly.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
When you go to the bootloader screen, does it say Security Unlocked at the very top?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Major_Sarcasm:
Does anybody read anything? ;) The same bloody questions over and over again!

@ makbil and others who are running the Experia radio; any downsides at all? It all seems positive at the moment, but you generally don't get something for nothing in this life...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcedric:
no downsides mate,just perfect for me :)

* Radio version: 1.16.25.48

* With ROM: [ROM][GER][UC][04.08.2009] cmEHD .03 (23016) Manila Version

* Country/Location/Network: Germany/Osterode/O2 Deutschland

* Battery life: really good results, no drain etc

* GPS: really quick fix near the window, between 5 and 8 sec

* GPRS/3G/EDGE/HSDPA: better signal (1-2 bars better than before), better speaking quality (i think)

* WiFi signal: doesn't work with Fritz!Box 7170 (didn't work before either), works like a charm with FritZ!Box 7270 (worked before, too)

* General comments: best radio i had so far
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] richzzp:
Great news for me. Just reading....................
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmillhouse:
So, overall. Do you guys think its worth spending the £10 to get it security unlocked? My HD is already sim unlocked, so would just be paying for the radio.

I live with marginal 3g but good 2g.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Overall radio is a slight improvement on others I have tried. Obviously radio strength also depends on location, so search through this thread (start from last page and work your way back) and check to see if someone in your location or nearabouts has tested radio and left results
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
relax dude, I am not saying it is, I'm wondering if it's. your points here categorically dismiss this possibility, so I got the answer I'm looking for.

don't be offended, if you are, my apologise :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmillhouse:
Yup, don't worry, i've read through everything before posting. Not much mention of 3g results, only 2g/edge etc.

Think I'll take a punt and give it a go.

*edit* And obviously post results here for London and Nottingham on Vodafone UK
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
I haven't noticed any negative effects in other areas, GPS still good, Wi-Fi probably same as before, 3G & HSDPA working fine... I can't put a numerical value on these but they feel the same as before. The main difference is in GSM call reception signal strength. None of my calls have cut off since installing 1.16, a problem I had with 1.14 and the reason why I decided to try 1.16.

I also get the feeling that my HD is not getting as hot as before but others should verify this, maybe I just got used to it being hot :cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes, would tend to agree with Makbil on all of his comments
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
To do or not to do ...

I would suggest a simple guideline for those pondering about the upgrade:

If you have no problems with calls cutting off, especially in low signal strength areas, you probably will not notice any benefits
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcedric:
yes its true i think,for me phone reception is much better and phone not so hot as before
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JohnQ:
well, im not gona write the formated report.

i just write my feelings.

all i can say is 1.16 radio is much much better than 1.14.XX

i used about 3 days. everywhere which is in weak signals, HD with 1.16 radio performs very good!

a very important test. its the theater. every time i went to my local theater to watch movies, i check my phone. NO SIGNAL with 1.14.xx radio.

well, i just got back from theater watched G.I. Joe. HD is in service! very good 1.16 radio!

see, 1.16 is much better than 1.14.xx

Im in Canton, China
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Major_Sarcasm:

Is it Security unlock is free or not?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcedric:
if you already have olipro soft AND you have do all 3 steps correctly then in bootloader you must have SECURITY UNLOCKED at the top of the screen,if you dont then go to olipro thread and ask what's wrong,then try again this radio.

hope this helps.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As I stated in PM, if it doesn't say 'Security unlocked' in bootloader, then tool hasn't completed properly and you should try it again.

battery life

right so quiet a couple of fellow users have been using this radio for a good couple of days, and today am going to take the plunge, so please any more update on the battery consumption, will be more more than welcome, the good signal, appeares to have been extensively covered, so please more information on the battery would well and truelly be appreciated.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcedric:
The battery is not much better as 1.14 radio but phone reception is better,big diference for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lufeig:
in my bedroom, right in front of PC, i used to have 1 signal bar showing up on the taskbar. calls frequently had "small intermitant packets" of silence, making it impossible to keep an understandable conversation.

now with kovsky 1.16.25.48 radio i have 3 signal bars, calls are crisp and sharp! :)

unfortunately i can't measure battery usage because since i flashed this radio, my daily routine has temporarily changed. i'll be able to start making comparisons on thursday.

but the point is: reception IS better than 1.14 blackstone radio!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JohnQ:
well, i didn't specifically measure the battery drain. bc i access direct push mail 7x24hrs. lol i cant see any difference between 1.16/1.14. all only 1 day and a half :cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marvi0:
thanks for the feed back the best test for reception will be at my work place cause its been very difficult with other radios for me to get good reception so al be able to tell today and give good feedback. however I also wanted to point out the fact that when I use NRG,S 6,5 ROMS I seem to get the best reception ever but the price to pay has been reduced battery power hence the reason why I have had to stick with 6,1 in my case, dutty,s cause it gives me more battery usage,so I suppose till 6,5 has improved battery usage al stick with 6.1

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] abdullah1982:
not sure what part will it unlock. whether it will unlock just the sim or security unlocking. anyways u must use the unlocker from olipro. its worth the investment of 16 Euros. U may even brick ur phone using some untrusted software

one of the things is the unlocker of olipro;)

tried it because i dont care to brick my phone i have it insurance on it and i will get a new one when its bricked:P

btw its version 1.1 of the unlocker
