Hard-SPL your phone and then you can flash radio and custom ROM's.

I am now using 4.49.25.17 radio and my location works on both 3G and EDGE. However 3G location is a little bit off (the city where I work is a small city). EDGE works perfectly though.

@ Dlac87: Your phone doesn't show 3G/H icon with both custom and stock ROM's? I know that T-Mobile US stock ROM disables 3G icon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] crazythunder:
start>settings>connections>connections

does tmobile data say epc.tmobile.com ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Nipje:
Why are there problems with edge etc? Is it even smart to flash a radio version? What are the advantages? :)

edit

The rom that i want to install says the following:

"make sure to use the latest radio available from latest Tmobile UK ROM ver 49."

Does this mean that i have to pick the one with tmobile behind it from the first page, or can i just pick the latest 4.9 one in the list ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Murcielago:
Hi,

Sorry to ask this stupid question but I have read all 37 pages and it's still not clear for me.... so I'm asking.

Do I need to SIM Unlock my STOCK/SIM Locked/Branded Orange TP2 to install one of these Radio ROM ?

I have installed Hard-SPL but I'm still wondering if I need to SIM Unlock it.

Thanks for not blaming me for asking.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dlac87:
Nossir, No SIM unlock necessary. If you've got Hard-SPL on there, you should be good to go!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Murcielago:
Thanks :)

Will flash right now then
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Nipje:
Could anyone help me with this question? would like to flash tonight :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cdiesel:
in the first post its says every file has a cab for rilphone.dll but its not there for any of them except for the one that mesees up ur phone..where can i find them then
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Well...are you sure you need to flash a new radio? How long have you had your phone? Are you experiencing problems with radio or GPS reception?

Why not flash the new (OS) ROM, then see how your existing radio works?

What carrier do you have now? If it's Tmo USA, then after you flash a new radio you can't go back to the stock radio (AFAIK) -- until someone extracts it somehow...so that might be a consideration. I don't know about other stock radios. (If I'm wrong about the lack of TMoUSA stock radio please point me to it. :) )

Some of the other/newer radio roms seem to give better cell reception and/or faster/better GPS lock.

I'm using, and really like, the 4.49.25.17 radio...but not because it was recommended for my OS-ROM. It's not ROM-specific.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ind0mi:
Is it possible to flash a radio via storage card methode? or will it only work via active sync > customruu.exe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Storage Card will work, just flash it the same way as an OS ROM image.

Dave
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ind0mi:
thanks gonna try it right now...

doest work.. doesnt load, stuck in bootloader screen. :/

do i have to rename radio file to Rhodimg.nbh? nvm got it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ne0n:
Hi,

I want to install the 4.49.25.17 (HTC) Radio on my TP2 from HTC (a realy HTC no O², T-Mobile or else).

I use a custom-rom and HardSPL the TP2. I read that it is necessary to CID/Security/SIM Unlock the TP2. It is right, or can I install it only with the HardSPL?

best regards,

neon
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
If the Radio is for the Rhodium, you don't need the unlocker. If it's for another device (topaz, hd, etc) you do need it.

ta

Dave
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ne0n:
It is the Radio which is listed in the first post at the last position. So it is for the Rhodium, or? So I can install it without the unlocker.

What happen, if I install a "wrong" Radio?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
It won't install.

Yes it's a Rhodium Radio.

Ta

Dave
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ne0n:
Thank you for your fast answere. The installation was succesfull, but when I copyied the rilphone.dll form htcpedia.com the phone doesn't work. I read that there are iusses with the dll, but to late :-/

Where can I get a working rilphone.dll?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dc41:
3G. ATT, and a TP2

I have a T-Mobile TP2 that's unlocked and running on an ATT sim with an Energy rom. The radio is exhibiting some odd behavior. When I first boot It connects to 3G (H actually) and will use that connection. But if I wait at all, it seems to timeout and drops down to Edge and never goes 3G again.

If I reboot it finds the 3G network again, but soon loses it... and goes back to edge. I've tried different radios, and none seemed to make a difference.

My Fuze stays with 3G and the t-mobile sim seems to hold the connection fine, so I assume it has something to do with ATT and the TP2. Anyone else experience something like this? Any suggestions on where to start?

I doubt ATT is blocking me because of the phone :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
I thought that T-Mobile and ATT work on different 3G band-frequencies...don't they?

And the Tmo phone only has 3G radio hardware that works on a Tmo 3G network. So, maybe once the ATT sim identifies itself to the T-Mo network, the phone gets kicked off, as in "you can't roam on me -- you're ATT".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dc41:
That makes sense. So even though the phone is set for wap.cingular... when it first boots it logs onto t-mobile's 3G network for a moment, realizes it's roaming, and kicks me off. Then because it doesn't use att's frequencies for 3G it logs onto ATT's Edge. Do I have that right?

So, I just might have to get a Tilt2 afterall. #^#%$&$^y#^!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Yeah, that's what I'm suggesting...

Even though ATT & T-Mobile-USA & Europe are on the same wavelength (literally) for regular GSM, in the USA the 3G scene is very individualistic...unfortunately.

But get a second opinion besides mine before you do anything drastic :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dzotx:
I'll 2nd that. Unless TMO allows 3G roaming on their network, you can not connect to ATT's 3G on a TMO brand phone.

Your right! It is from HTCPedia! :) And not sure what your implying but you need to work on your people skills sir! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Huh? I don't understand. Did I do something wrong? You guys need to stop reading texts (typed words) incorrectly. Read them as if you were calm and being polite. That's exactly how I wrote it and I'm not implying to anything.

Didn't mean anything in anyway. I don't see how people read these things wrong. How can you tell if someone is implying something without actually implying something? Lol

Sorry for whatever I did.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cal-El:
Its cool, mostly my bad, had a weird day and I am sorry for being abrasive! I was going to post the original link but you need to be sighed up to download it so I figured it would be easier to load to to my mediafire act and then post it! There are about six radios available to download there if you want to sign up, this is the newest one! Again, sorry for being a jerk! We should be friends as we are here for the same cause! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Don't worry about it man it's cool and I will sign up and check the site out. 2 hours to go before I leave work to try out the ATT radio.

Thanks for the link.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Wiz:
Is the AT&T radio CDMA or UMTS/3G?

- Strike that, of course it's Quad-band GSM and Tr-band HSDPA/3G -

would love to test it but without the original tmobile usa stock radio only rom... i'm a little skeptical...

well I tried the 3.46.25.30 radio only and alot of my gps issues were fixed. will report about data and calls later.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
I have it flashed on my T-Mobile US TP2, and I'm not noticing much difference. Call quality is the same, GPS is the same, and battery drain is about the same.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] veinslay:
I can confirm that the 4.47.25.24 really gives significant difference to my GPS (I'm using iGo8)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
Are you using T-Mobile US service? I just want to make sure it will provide a benefit for someone using T-Mobile USA service on the 4.47.25.24 radio before I try it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ekerbuddyeker:
I have it installed and have a tmOb device. cant say I notice any real difference...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mr.Clark:
Is there any issue using an AT&T Radio rather than the HTC one (for those of us in the UK that will likely never even connect to the AT&T network)?

So sounds the General Consensious regarding Radio :4.47.25.24 on TMobile US device does not Yield any Improvement (positive or Negative) then?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bombastikde:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jehlinger:
Radio 4.47.25.24 with T-mobile USA no real benefit or detriment. I still get high-speed data no problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
Awesome - thanks for the information. I guess another question would be battery drain, perhaps?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] [hfm]:
I'm confused about the rilphone.dll , are they contained in the flash package for each radio or separate? I haven't been able to find any radio version specific rilphone.dll's anywhere, though all the posts I read say to download a separate cab that has the corresponding rilphone.

sorry for the probably n00b question.

TMobile with 4.49.25.17 results

A friend with a regular T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 has just installed the 10/7/09 Energy ROM, then updated the special characcter keyboard fix, then also loaded on the 4.49.25.17 Radio. According to this guy the radio not only takes very little battery usage it is able to get 9 sattelites in 5 SECONDS using the GPS. Lastly the "3G" never shows up but after extensive travel here in the US, has seen the signal strength bars show "E", "H", or "G". Absolutely amazing performance and the user says it is like using a brand new phone that just flies. Setting up connections via bluetooth and Wifi are also a breeze and instantly lock in with a FAST connection. I can tell this guys is a VERY HAPPY CAMPER!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
FYI: Maybe you know this, but "H"

is

3G...just a matter of what symbol has been configured to show. Mine showed "3G" until I flashed a custom ROM, then it showed "H".

BTW: I agree all about that radio with that ROM with T-Mo USA
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] KruseLudsMobile:
How can 'H' mean 3G if 'G' shows up

Sometimes 'G' is still displayed, so if 'H' in this case represents 3G then what does 'G' mean? I thought 'H' represented HSPDA - ?

Can we get a known write-up of what is really what and when each is displayed?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bachviet:
g - gprs

e - edge

3g - umts

h - hspa
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
3G is a generic term meaning "3rd generation" -- that's all. Verizon has a "3G Network" (the biggest, they say :p ) and it is

not

a UMTS network.

When I replaced my stock T-Mo OS-ROM, in places where I used to have a 3G connection -- and which used to show a little "3G" on the signal strength icon -- I now have a little "H". That change in icons is not because I used to connect to one type of wireless broadband network and now I connect to another type of wireless broadband network...it's because the what-icon-is-diplayed setting is different with the new ROM -- H instead of 3G, that's all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] leginag:

No, as the poster above said on the first page of this thread, it's a

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bravo261:

I never bothered using a new rilphone.dll, so this adds some confusion... Do I need it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
I installed that radio-rom without installing a new/matching rilphone.dll and it works fine for me.

I agree that the statement at the beginning of this thread about the need for a matching rilphone.dll -- and yet most of the links to new radio roms don't include a rilphone.dll -- is quite confusing.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dope0ne:
NICE :D

After flashing Radio 4.49.25.17: having max. Bars in signal

Big advantage...

No more leggy Network.. thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dkb218:
Just uploaded and yes, the My Location feature kicked in right away. GPS seems to be connecting a lot faster. Gonna test it for a couple of days.

For those looking for the rilphone.dll there doesn't seem to be one made just for this rom but 4.49.25.17 seems to work very well with whatever one you have installed at present.

Update: After a few hours use, I have noticed my battery draining faster... I'll give it a week and see if it continues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] guntcent:
hey guys whats the original radio for the t-mobile touchPro2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] simplydat:
Hi all, I'm sort of new to the radio rom flashing business, I own an unbranded HTC touch pro2. I just installed EnergyRom 11.oct.2009 (WWE). And a current radio version of 3.46.25.30. I'm using the phone in Canada with Fido network. I was wondering if there is any sort of advantages and to further strengthen the functionality of the phone by updating the radio rom say to 4.49.25.17. Perhaps better battery life, signal, GPS accuracy? Will there be any downside to it? and the rom is reversible in case it causes problem right?

Thanks a lot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] beerbaronstatic:
Hey, I've heard people say theres another AT&T radio that came with the Tilt 2. Is this true? Does anyone have it for download yet if so?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dkb218:
All you questions are answered in this thread. In reference to a certain rom, it seems that each person has a somewhat different experience using the same rom. I get increased battery drain with the 4.49.25.17 rom. Others don't. You have to check different roms to see which is right for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Yes, it's reversible, as long as you have a copy of the original radio rom -- and the one you have/had

is

listed/linked at the beginning of this thread.

(unlike my orignal TMoUSA radio-rom...though I don't want to go back, anyway)

Flasing with Energy Rom

So I am running NRG's Energy Rom and I have not sim unlocked my TP2 from Tmo.

Can I run the the unlock and flash radio with this Rom?

I read somewhere that some one was trying to unlock his Tmo TP2 so he can use it in ATT but he was having issues and resolution was to reflash the Tmo stock rom then unlock, then reflash the desired rom.

I would like to get the later radio but really dont want to reflash my phone again.

Thanks all!!

I am currently running 3.45 something radio and according to my3gspeed dot com, have an average dl speed around 0.7mb\sec.

Will this help my speeds? My buddy has the G1 and from the same site, he is up in the low 3's usually
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
If you're already running a custom OS-rom (NRG's), then you must have already flashed the hardspl. That's all you need to do to enable flashing to a new radio rom. A sim unlock is not necessary and it wouldn't help anyway.

Oh, and flashing to a new radio-rom doesn't affect your OS-ROM (e.g., Energy will stay put).

The 4.49.25.17 radio-rom did not make my connection faster, as far as I can tell...it gave me a little better -- more-bars -- connection, and it definitely made acquiring GPS satellites

much

faster. YMMV.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] innovator8:
Thanks Dude, but it says in the very first page of this thread that the first think I will need to do is unlock my phone, do that "here", and this takes me to the sim unlock page.

Are the instructions a little off?

Thanks,

Jeff
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
The guy who wrote those instructions, who started this thread, is

way

more expert than me about Windows Mobile, so I don't know why/how those instructions would be wrong. Maybe it's not actually wrong, but just applies to certain carriers, etc....don't know.

However

: I absolutely did not sim-unlock my phone...unless that magically happens as part of the hardspl process.

And other people have also posted about "all you need to do is hardspl".

But, if you want to do/get the sim unlock I'm sure there's no harm in it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] innovator8:
Ok, thanks for all of your help!, I am just north of you in Seattle with Tmo and thinking of trying the same radio you have.

Can I assume that you are not having problems like some of the other posts?

Did you also use a different rilphone.dll file??

I am thinking that two like phones in similar parts of the country will likely respond the same.

Thanks,

Jeff

Change Log

Does anyone know of a change log for the various radios?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] venelar:
I've been checking this as well and..i think i have the other radio.

Checking the device information on the phone i'm running (shipped): 4.48.25.20

I'm not on the at&t rom anymore though and am having issues connecting to incoming calls. Anymore progress on the rilphone.dll issues?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
I am not having any radio-related problems (that I know of, anyway).

I didn't use a different rilphone because there doesn't seem to be any (that I know of, anyway).

I've used this radio-rom with the NRG Photon Manila 2.1 Oct-7 ROM and currently with ROMeOS v1.30, and it seems to work equally well with both. The only connection-related thing I haven't tried is sending MMS, but any problems with MMS seem more OS-ROM-dependent, anyway. I did

receive

an MMS today -- seemed fine.

So: No guarantee, of course...but radio 4.49.25.17 works for me and should for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] innovator8:
Thank you I will try it shortly, I have been scared a little.

Jeff
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Maybe you should have a few drinks first, that always calms fears (until you sober up) :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dkb218:
SIM unlock was required when this thread was created because HardSPL wasn't release yet. After SPL, SIM unlock was no longer needed as the SPL took care of all that.

No fear. Changing the radio takes about 1 minute. Painless.
