Also if it's a non-rhodium radio you'll need to SIM-Unlock. This is in addition to HardSPL. I understand from other posts that AT&T will give you the unlock code if you tell them your'e going to be travelling internationally and will be using a sim from a carrier in another country. Or you can buy an unlock code from the OliNex team.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] efrant:
NO. If you want to flash a non-Rhodium radio, you need to be SECURITY unlocked, not SIM unlocked. Big difference...

The code you get from AT&T will not security unlock your device...

Topaz radio's are from the Topaz (i.e., AT&T Pure, HTC Diamond2). Here is a link to the Topaz Radio thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=547276. Note: you will need to sign these radios for the Rhodium if you want to use them on a Rhodium -- they will not work as is.

hey guys im new to this and just flashed my 1st rom ... the energy leo rom 5.2.21889 and love it so far. my problem and question is what radio should i use to get tmobile 3g? the rom came with radio 4.49.25.57 but only gives me edge speeds even though i have the H showing at the top of the screen.

thanks in advance and all help is appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] efrant:
What device are you using? Where are you located? (You should really create a signature...) NRGZ28's ROM"s do not have a radio included, so the radio you have currently is the one you had before you flashed the new ROM...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tarroyo:
If you have the H at the top of the screen, Your getting T-Mobile 3G. When your on Edge you see the E at the top of the screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
What kind of test did you do that showed "edge speeds"?

Tether your phone to a computer and use "speedtest" on the computer. It allows you to copy/paste the results window in a post.

EDGE speeds are something like a couple-hundred kilobits/second. 3G speeds are like 600kb/s to over 1000kb/sec.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dkb218:
The question that should be asked here is are you a T-Mobile customer? Are you using a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2? If the answer to either of these questions is no then no radio in the world will get you T-Mobile 3G.

Better Testing

Coming from the Diamond-Forum where I tested a lot of Radio Roms with my Security-Unlocked Diamond (big thx to cmonex). My TP2 is not Security-Unlocked but I am also going to test the available Radio-Versions.

What we have done there to have good and comparable values can be found here.

So just flash the Rom, test them take logfiles, compare the values and decide which one works best by data, and which one feeeels to be better can be ignored.

Issues are not from W7 but from Rhodium

Alot of gys (i.e. I) had that solutions exists but its a bug HTC
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
Yes I tried to use both compatibility mode and to disable advanced feature of active sync but seems that when the device reboot in the 3 colors mode windows is unable to install the right driver. we are speaking about the same problem on the other thread here
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Broman400:
Try unchecking Settings > Connections > USB to PC the Enable faster data synchronization and select ActiveSync and before the phone is connect to your PC turn on WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center), then connect your phone to your PC.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
I already tried to disable the faster data option, but when I do this the PC refuse to recognize my device showing it like a "Generic serial" device and not finding an usable driver.

I tried all the triable: uninstall and reinstall WMDC, enabling "cradle all connections" on the Active Sync opts on the phone, rebooting both pc and HTC, but nothing worked. Any other ideas? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Superguy:
Been using 4.49.25.17 since I got my phone a few weeks ago. I'm in the suburban Baltimore area. This radio is a tank! Very strong signal strength (only drops below 3 bars if I'm inside). Edge only pops up inside or if the weather's particularly bad. Good battery life - no problems going all day and then some. Can't speak for WiFi or GPS as my car has GPS and I don't use it for WiFi (I'm paying for data, might as well use it and my neighborhood wireless is saturated anyway).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
This is the radio thread, it's probably best to discuss your flashing/syncing problems in one of the other sticky threads, e.g. if it's a problem with HardSPL then in the HardSPL thread ;)

From 25.88 back to 25.17

I'm going back to 25.17. I have been trying out the 25.88 for a couple of days now. Since then got some BT isssues with the stack completely dying on me. Had to reset to get BT working again. Also a lot of WiFi disconnects and reconnect refusals. And defenitely more power consumption over WiFi. To be fair, I also installed a new ROM but based on the same build (23518). Never before did I encounter these issues. So this is why I am going back to 25.17. Which almost never gave me any problems. GSM reception seems stronger, but I never had any real problems with 25.17 to begin with.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
Yes I agree, even if my problems was related to radio flashing...so, yesterday I flashed the 25.88 radio version, because with the previous (25.17) the GSM signal here in Italy was not optimal.

Seems that now the GSM/UMTS signal is ok (4/4) and the wifi also works perfectly on my device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jlove85:
Can someone tell me why?

I just unlocked TP@ sprints version and just flashed radio 4.49.25.88 ...can someone tell me why now my phone wont turn on at ALL..even connecting it to the charger theres no light.....thanks radio 4.49.25.88!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
If you have a Sprint phone then I think you need CDMA radios, check the CDMA sub-forum. You've flashed a GSM radio to a CDMA phone, it sounds to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jlove85:
ty for clearing that up .. so i was in the wrong section dam..is there a way to fix this though, I kept removing the battery and trying to turn the device back on but it wont even boot...yet the strange part that i truly don't understand is after i removed the battery and placed it back and gave up ..i checked the phone again about 1 later and the thing was WARM and hot almost as if the device was on the whole time (remind that i took out the battery and just placed it back in ) but is there any way of brining my baby back to life after a flash of gsm radio to cdma
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
If you can get it into the bootloader (power on while holding the Volume Down button), i.e. the tri-coloured screen, then you should be able to re-flash with a CDMA radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jlove85:
yea thing wont even turn on now...pure black screen forever.. no vib from power button either...no light display to show its charging...its a sad day for me...no warranty ither..omg :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You can't even get it into the bootloader ? :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Strange that your device won't even get in to the RGB screen even with a wrong flash.

Another way to get in the RGB screen:

- Hold volume down

- Press the soft reset button

- RGB screen should show up

Added "GSM" to the title of the thread...

Just thought I'd throw it out there for those in Central East coast: .88 sucks for signal. Great for GPS and battery though. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
That does seem odd. But usually we get people flashing the wrong ROM rather than the wrong radio. I really hope that flashing a CDMA ROM on a GSM phone really doesn't irreversably brick it :eek:

Good call.

I have been using .88 in VA since it came out and it works fine. I dont see a difference from .17 but .88 is not a problem in VA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Had a good test of .88 today, in a place where I get very marginal reception. The reception seemed to be better, it still kept coming in and out, but I had reception a lot more often, seemingly, than I used to on previous radios.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jlove85:
lets hope no one else followed my road lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
FWIW, I flashed the 4.49.25.88 to my Tilt 2 earlier tonight here in Sarasota, FL... I can say that there was an immediate difference in both the GPS lock speed (under 2 seconds on a warm start!) and my internet speeds seem to have increased by about 50% as well.

Tested with PIE @ mobilespeedtest.com: With the stock radio (4.48.25.20), the 1MB test capped out around 2,200Kbps. With the new .88 radio, the same test has seen upwards of 3,400Kbps! Nice increase, I'd say.

Obviously, It'd take some time to see what the difference makes on the battery drain, but I'm too busy flashing and testing out different software to keep up with that right now!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I just thought, the original poster really should try that way, my suggestion of using the power button is unlikely to work in this situation.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
Today was a bad day for my TP2, because I was all the day to ski in mountain, and I noticed that my phone was without GSM signal for all the day (this means that I wasn't able to make phone call at all).

The problem is that a friend of mine, with the same operator, and with a medium-level nokia phone, had with his phone the full signal for all the day, being able to make phone calls without any problem.

So, because I upgraded the rom version to v.88 a couple of days ago, I hope that the problem is due to this software version, and not to the GSM electronic circuit, because in this case it would be a hard blow for this great phone.

The strange is that for all the days I wasn't able to connect to any GSM cell, neither searching manually the networks (that I was able to see but not to connect to) nor rebooting the phone or changing the band settings.

Now I want to immediately go back to a better rom version, what actually is the best speaking about GSM reception?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bdaboy338:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kevinebrown:
noob question...

Are these Radios carrier dependant...like the new 4.49.25.88 can this be used with T-Mobile or is it an ATT? How do you know as some say HTC?

sry 4 dubm question, just want to test connections in my area and don't want to mess up my phone changing radios

TY for replies
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
All of the radio-roms listed on Page 1 will work with any version of the TP2/Tilt2/Rhodium...won't hurt a thing to try. You do have to do the hardSPL first, though. If you haven't yet, see the sticky thread near this thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You'll just have to experiment with different versions and see what works best for you, I'm afraid. What is best for one person may be the worst for another.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
I'm experimenting different versions, today I loaded the one included in the original HTC ROM (.17), but seems that I still have big problems.

Today I've done a lot of tests, and I see that also when the phone seems to receive quite well (3 or 4 of strength level) when I made a call the phone doesn't ring and the answerphone of my provider tell me that my phone cannot be reached.

It's a big problem because in this situation I believe that the phone is working but practically it's not so.

EDIT: I tried the 4.49.25.57 version but it doesn't solve this strange behavior; the old 3.44.25.27 instead seems to solve it but I think it's poorly compatible with WM6.5, because cprog.exe continue to dead unexpectedly
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Are you still using a stock (official) ROM, or are you using a cooked ROM from this forum ? I wonder if there's some problem in the combination you're trying.

Have you ever had good reception ? Has the problem only just started happening since you loaded different radio versions ? Or was it only really noticeable on your skiing trip, in that particular area ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Caio:
Hello, I'm using the official italian ROM from HTC, and at the moment I've tried about half of the available radio firmware without solve this issue.

I'm not sure if the problem has started since the first day I used the Rhodium, because in those days I was in a location where the phone never had received well (anyway where the phone received well I was able to make and receive calls). So I decided to try another radio to see if my problem could improve.

But the problem that I have now is bigger than ever before:

actually I'm on my home, where the phone has always received well. In fact now I'm using an old nokia 2300 that receives at its maximum stregth; the problem is that my rhodium shows me a level signal of 2-3 but if I try to call it my phone operator tell me that the phone is unreachable.

I noticed that the problem appears when the phone show a G icon with a grey background (like the 223.ico in this image); the strange is that this icon quickly and randomly changes from the grey G to the classic Edge (131.ico), showing me that it has the possibility to connect to both networks. If I use the TP2 to make a call, or to receive it, it doesn't work.

I tried to manually select the network operator, or to re-register the phone on the network, but it doesn't work.

But it's not a static behavior, because randomly the phone restart to receive (i.e. if I connect the phone to the wireless network, but not in a deterministic way).

This phone was a TIM branded device and now I'm using it with another different operator, could it be the reason of my problem even if I have Hardspled it?

What can I do? thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I wonder if there's a hardware problem with your phone Caio. Is it still under warranty ? I'm just guessing really, but if you're using an official ROM and have tried various radios it sounds very odd that you have such poor reception.

Hi, I want to upgrade my radio. But I dont know which version I need if I live in Czech Republic. Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sumflipnol:
It's all good here! If you're upgrading from the stock T-Mobile radio (3.45.25.14), then this will greatly increase your signal strength and battery life.

You could also try 4.49.25.17. This has slightly weaker signal strength than .88, but the battery life and [speed of] GPS lock of this radio is better than .88.

Safe? Do you mean flashing? Yes, it's safe! First, you have to flash HardSPL (check out the sticky thread in this ROM Development Forum for instructions).

I don't see why you wouldn't bother upgrading!;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Just try the latest version, and see how it works. It's very easy to flash a new radio, it doesn't overwrite anything other than the existing radio version, so you can experiment different versions and see what works the best for you.

.88 Radio N Fl

Just a note on radio 25.88 for AT$T people in Florida

I have been running the new radio 25.88 for over a week in Mid Florida and I am happy with it. I did revert back to the .57 radio but found it not a quick. My GPS is very fast and I got my max Dl speeds with the .88 radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] coppertop:
On AT&T in Alabama and have had similar results. .57 was good for voice but .88 seems better for data (if that makes any sense).

Going to try .91 this weekend to see if there's any difference. Maybe it will offer the best of both worlds.

Security unlock on the Rhodium

Hi,

AtOmAng wrote about security unlock in his first post and that this is necessary in order to flash some radios.

- But I could not find any hint in the forum on how a security unlock can be performed on the Rhodium. For the Kaiser there was a tool that did this, but I could not find an equivalent for the Rhodium.

- Does "security unlock" also include "application unlock" or even "SIM unlock"?

I'm sure that these questions are also preventing others from having the heart to do a custom flashing, so it would be great is someone could explain it a little and put it into the sticky section, thank you, guys!
