I have tried different radios, i settled on the stock one. it seemed like it gave me faster numbers.

What the heck, next time i sync, i'll switch back, just to see what happens. I guess it's just strikes me as "odd" that it worked (for a long time) and now it doesn't.

i was just in a different town, about 15 miles away, where i have also gotten "my location" updates before and didn't get anything there either. Next time i get to the "big city" 30 miles away i have to keep an eye on it!!

Thanks!

WEIRD!!!! For about a month and a half my location hasn't been workin for my tilt 2 unless im in 3g or wifi...it WILL NOT work over edge unless i turn wifi on then it can find location
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nitegmoney:
Just being on the cautious side here i already used hard spl on my phone to load a custom rom, every time i clear my rom i use task 29, do i have to do anything like this to do a new radio? i still have the stock at&t radio......
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
The short answer is "no".

Task 29 does not touch the radio firmware, and in my experience, there's no need to wipe that portion of the phone to apply a new radio version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] itzyaboijon:
hello i am in new york city can anyone tell me what is the best radio for the att tilt 2? looking for one that will get me better service. i'd truly appreciate it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Since flashing a radio does not destroy data or mess with any of your device's ROM image, you are free to flash a bunch of them without worry. There is no right radio for everyone or any certain area. You simply flash a radio, use it for a while, and if you don't like it, flash a different one. For me, after much trial and error, I have found that the stock T-Mobile radio works best for me. Some people prefer the newest AT&T radios. It's all about what works best for you as an individual.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Markstar:
Hi there!

As a total newbie I would appreciate it if somebody could recommend a ROM version for O2 Germany to me. :)

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I'm not sure why you posted a ROM question in this thread, but check out the link in my signature for a list of Rhodium GSM ROMs. No one can really recommend a ROM for you. It's al about what you like. That's like asking us to pick out your pants. It's all about opinion. You might not like the same things we do. Just keep flashing ROMs until you find one you like.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Markstar:
Sorry, I think I misspoke (i.e. miswrote) - English is not my first language and I am not yet familiar with all the terminology when it comes to this. :o

From what I, as newbie, understand, there are 2 updates that I can make for the Pro2: OS and radio. I thought both were ROM updates, that's why I asked for one. What I did mean was the recommended radio version for a Touch Pro2 to be used in Germany with O2. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Ahh, now I understand better. The radio version is dependent on your area and carrier. The radios do not mess with any of the data on the device, so it is very simple to flash them. Keep flashing radios until you find one that works for you. The radio that works best for me on T-Mobile in the Southern USA is the stock T-Mobile radio. Flash a new radio, try it out for a day, and the n switch to a new one if you don't like it. Remember to make sure you test the cellular data, wifi, bluetooth, and GPS (and FM radio if you have a GSM Rhodium). When you find a version that works well in all categories, stick with it. The higher version numbers don't matter much. The performance varies from user to user. Some chefs, recommend a radio to go with their ROMs. It's good to try that first if you have problems with your radio on a different ROM. I hope this helps you out a bit. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
Could I use Radio Version: 4.49.25.17 (HTC) for my german simlock-free branding-free HTC Touch Pro 2 ?

Thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
As long as it is a GSM device and NOT a CDMA device, that is perfectly fine. You'll need Hard SPL firstly, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dark_angelfighter17:
need a lil help

srry imm a lil bit of a newb when it comes to radio's

i downloaded the newest ATT Radio off rapidshare (ATT_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.95) and it turned out to be a .rar file. for some reason i cant seem to flash it onto my phone. even tryed chainging the name of the file to (RHODIMG.nbh) and tryed flashing again with no sucess. got an error message: Error File [240] : File Open.

allso tryed flashing from memmory card. can someone assist me a lil bit plz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
The *.nbh and RUU are inside the *.rar file. If you aren't familiar with compressed or zipped files, then you may want to do a bit more reading here in the forums before flashing your device. Most of the ROM, radios, and other things here will be zipped up like this as well. WinRAR or 7zip will be able to extract the files. 7zip is free and a bit more simple, in my opinion.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] roycio:
I have a question that has been already asked but I want to be sure before I do something wrong...

I have a Tmobile USA TP2 with EnergyRom M2.5 (9/14). I want to flash the 4.46.25.24 radio. Do I have to unlock the phone? (fist paragraph on post 1) or having installed HardSLP is enough?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
Having HardSPL should be enough to allow you to flash other radio ROMs. I know I was able to flash radios after HardSPL was released.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
HardSPL is what you need to do to flash do a different radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] roycio:
Thank you mccune & biscuits1978. I will flash the radio now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jezi:
Software won't change it, you have to replace the hardware. Tmobile's TP2 works in Europe 3G too but doesn't have the front camera:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] At0mAng:
Hi Dave,

Is it possible to that someone else become's the creator of this thread? I have had no time to keep up with it but I have seen others do my job so maybe there is a way where they become the original thread creator or it does not matter?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ekerbuddyeker:
OK, I am reading this AFTER I MADE THE SWITCH from TMOB to AT&T!!!! cannot believe it!n Has to be a fix somewhere...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ekerbuddyeker:
i bought a US t-mob locked device and it worked fine on t-mob 3g in the US. I got it unlocked and needed to move to at&T. I got the at&T sim card, but device only shows EDGE now.

Anyone know why?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
As it was explained before, the T-Mobile US TP2 will not work on the AT&T 3G frequency bands. That would be the reason why Edge only works. Vice versa -- if I were to use my Tilt on my T-Mobile service, I would only get Edge because T-Mobile's 3G frequency bands don't match up with AT&T hardware.

Main thing is, if you want a Rhodium to work on AT&T, you're best bet is to wait until they release it. Otherwise, you'd want to switch back to T-Mobile.

rilphone.dll!!!

Hi everyone,

we've been promised to have a rilphone.dll cab file with every Radio rom but still can't find any for all the roms... could anyone please provide the cabs so we can test the Roms properly.. thanx guys for all of your efforts
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cd993:
just a small point, the 4.46.25.24 - AT&T radio is actually 4.47.25.24!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Posted this already. TS hasn't updated the first thread in a while...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lnoormohamed:
sorry I'M still a noobe with windows mobile only had the device for about 2weeks so what are radios and what do they do?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] phunqe:
Ok so all questions about where to find rilphone.dll are unanswered.

What's the deal?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
As far as what all users have been able to tell, its not really making much difference to match rilphone.dll with the respective radio. If you believe it'll make a difference, you can try different radios with the same ROM. If you notice 1 radio outperforms others, then you would have found a rilphone.dll in that ROM that others can possible match with.

As for me, I've only tried 3 different radios with different ROMs and have had the same performance in all of them -- decent GPS reception, pretty good data/voice reception, and so-so battery life.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ruinertt:
Radios ROMs are, for a better word, software configs/improvements for your radio which controls data/voice/GPS connectivity. As with anything, there are always improvements in software. Some radios are geared more towards GPS while others deal with battery usage. I would advise reading the thread and taking a look at the experiences that others have with various radios.

Some might give better reception (bars) while others won't. Just because a radio is newer doesn't mean that it is better, either.

This does not, however, change "bands" for 3G. For example, if you have a T-Mobile TP2, a different radio will NOT allow you to use your T-Mobile TP2 on AT&T's 3G network. You can still use Edge, but not 3G. For the most part, 3G access is hardware based.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dallasjim:
Does anyone have this radio? It is the US shipped radio. Thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] phunqe:
Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Star-Lite:
Does anyone have any experience of which radio to choose for T-Mobile in the netherlands?

I am currently running the stock WWE radio ROM and reception is pretty poor (about the same as my Hermes, worse then my mates Touch Pro 1 who is also on T-Mobile).

I live in an area with pretty poor signal, and would love to see a boost in reception, I care less about battery life.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Marcus Tavares:
This Radio ( 4.46.25.24 - HTC) works really great in Brazil. I use Claro and live in SP.

Why upgrade: works better with My Location on Manila 2.5

Just for Brazilian to know about that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
CDMA is all that U.S. stuff? GSM all the other?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hefman:
No. GSM/CDMA is the band your carrier uses. It is carrier dependent, not country dependent. US has both CDMA and GSM carriers, as does Europe, I believe. Usually, GSM devices require a SIM card, although some dual band phones also use a SIM card. My guess is yours is GSM, but if you post your carrier, that might help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Look under the battery of your device and post the model number. It will be RHODxxx where xxx is a three digit number. This will tell us whether you use a CMDA device or GSM device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
My Carrier is O² Germany (I am using a SIM-Card).

My Toch Pro 2 has no branding (soft- or hardware), no SIM-Lock.

The model number code says RHOD100.

Thank you guys for being so kind.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
RHOD100 is a GSM model. You are able to flash any GSM radio or ROM. Just make sure you use Hard SPL first. This is what allows you to flash anything other than the stock ROM for your device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] also1989:
faster data

hi, i have the latest (i think) radio installed (flashed, if u will) on my tp2 (GSM) and i'd like to know if there was any tweak or modification i could do to make my phone faster data wise??

i just want to know if it's possible to tweak the device so it could load pages in opera faster, download my tweeter feed faster, etc... both on wifi and data.

thnx.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
The radio doesn't control your data speed. Your carrier does that. You could try flashing a different radio until you get one you like. For me, the stock T-Mobile radio functions best. If you are flashing custom ROMs, the chef will normally recommend a radio to go with the ROM that is paired with the same rilphone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] also1989:
u are right, what i wanted to ask was if i could do anything to my phone so i could reduce the ping of my network, or of my wifi??

"ping" is the number that someone gets in a latency test.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tarroyo:
The wiki page for the radio region has changed. The new page can be found Here
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Changed the URL to the WiKi page in the OP.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Markstar:
Ahh, thanks! I couldn't find it by myself :p and now it is clear which radio I need (which I asked about earlier, but nobody could answer me). :)

It seems for O2 Germany, 4.49.25.91 is the latest and hopefully greatest. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rkub:
Ya that's the problem tho... Even tho it's the latest, doesn't mean it's the greatest... That's why people say to try out all the radios and see which works best for you... It can also be rom dependent as some chefs cook in the rilphone.dll... Even tho that's the latest and greatest you might still want to try out the other radios, might get better signal or battery life or gps...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Markstar:
Of course you are right. I'm downloading the ROM right now and hopefully it will fix one issue I noticed - it appears with the other radio (4.49.25.88) I don't get the home zone anymore.

...hmm, and with the new version neither. I wonder if it's the phone. :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
If you have trouble with the recommended radio for the ROM you flashed, then try flashing back to the stock radio and seeing if that helps any. For me, the best radio is the stock T-Mobile radio of 4.49.25.57. The later ones give me awful GPS and wifi performance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] selcukgumus:
sorry, my english not good.

my TP2 rhod500 verizon but flashing GSM rom ( Mighty ROM). radio version of my rhod500 = 1.88.07WV

Which I need to install?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I don't know that radio version. Isn't your device CDMA?

In that case you can/should never flash a radio from the first post.

THIS page makes me believe that the Mighty ROM is actually CDMA ROM.

4.49.25.95 (AT&T) with Vodafone Portugal

Hi

Can i use Radio Version: in a ROM Version 1.86.410.0 (67102)PTG with Vodafone Portugal.

Thank´s in advance

Jorge
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Isn't Vodafone a CDMA carrier? If you try to flash any CDMA radio onto a GSM device, you'll end up with a nice, expensive paperweight.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] qbom:
Hi

Vodafone Portugal is a GSM Carrier, i ask if i can flash the 4.49.25.95 (AT&T) radio (Is this radio GSM or CDMA) in my phone?

Thanks

Jorge
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
All the radios in this thread are GSM ones. I've used several different ones in my Rhodium in the UK (including the AT&T ones) without much problem. The 'best' radio firmware really depends on your individual mobile network and location and it's a process of trying a few out and seeing which is best for you.

Note that the radio firmware may also affect how well the wifi and GPS works too, so it may take a bit of a trial to see which one fits you best.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jerryhou85:
I'll try the lastest 4.49.25.95 version. Now I'm using the 4.49.25.91.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tonydoherty:
Hi Monomer888,

I would be interested to know why you currently use Radio ROM 4.49.25.94 for your Touch Pro 2? What improvements have you noticed over previous Radio ROMS?

I use Vodafone UK and have ROM 4.49.25.91 loaded. The only criticism I would have is slow GPS lock when I fire up Tom Tom after driving 300 miles south!! I don't use any GPS assist. However, I am unsure if this is down to the Radio ROM operation.

I'm interested in comparing notes with another GSM 900/1800 UTMS2100 user.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
You should just flash a different radio and compare your results. For me, the stock T-Mobile radio (4.49.25.57) is the best one. aGPS assists in getting a GPS lock initially, but has no baring on GPS performance after that. It's easy to use by simply going to the QuickGPS software in the ROM and pressing the Download button. I normally set mine to auto renew, so I don't need to worry about it.

The radios that work best for each user will vary for everyone. A buddy of mine uses 4.49.25.95 and he lives half a mile from me. This one works better for him, even though we use the same device and are very close to one another.

Radios are very easy to flash, as they require no backup and can be flashed one right after another. I suggest trying a different one, and then giving it a shot for a full day. If you like it, keep it, if not, flash a new one until it seems right.

By the way, monomer888 isn't very active in the Rhodium forum anymore since he got his Desire Z. Hopefully my response will help you out a bit instead of waiting for him. I only ever see him around here once or twice a month.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
I would agree with what CFB has posted in answer to your question. The radio firmware that is best for me may not be the best for you. I found that the .94 radio gave me better battery life.

I've had no problems with GPS lock with this version, but I rarely use my TP2 for satellite navigation. I also tend to use the HTC GPS Tool to 'prime' the GPS to get a faster subsequent locks.

CFB: I'm actually on holiday in Washington DC and bizarrely now have more time to respond to forum posts! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Well, I'm glad to see you back around here again. :)

Next time you visit the States, you should head on down here to New Orleans. Best food and hospitality on the planet! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tonydoherty:
Thanks CFB & monomer888.

I was interested in feedback from a UK user with a similar mobile provider to myself.

I have now flashed .94 as I like the sound of better battery life!! I appreciate that it's all trial and error.

Many Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tonydoherty:
Since my flash to Radio ROM 4.49.25.94 I have experienced a definite improvement in battery life.

Also - the GPS receiver now locks more quickly without assisted GPS enabled.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] prolord:
what radio works the best with at&t out of central america

yeah 4.49.25.95 works the best for me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GT247:
So we just run the Custom RUU that's provided with the download file and it will install the radio only?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Yep. That's all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GT247:
Thanks Mr Cajun, I was "juuuust" about to run the RUU last night and it said it was going to delete all data...after reading that I stopped...LMAO...I "recently" flashed a new custom splash screen (hehehe) and wasn't paying attention, instead of simply running task32, I accidentally reflashed the splash screen along with the ROM...LMAO!!...anyways, after that and spending the hours resetting everything and reloading everything...I didn't want to go through that process unexpectedly again, haha
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ampicillin:
Are these radios regional ? i want to flash latest one in one of energy ROM But my Carrier is different then AT&T
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It's not so much about flashing the latest one as it is about figuring out which one works best for you. You can safely flash anyone one of them, but keep in mind that later is not always better. The right one for you will not always be the right one for others. For me, the stock T-Mobile radio (4.49.25.57) gives me the best signal, GPS lock, battery life, and wifi performance. Since the radios don't require you to loose any information, you should flash one, try it for a few days, then flash another until you find the perfect one for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ampicillin:
Yes, Thank you, I just wanted to be sure before i brick my phone. I'll try flashing latest one and see how it works. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] reachalex:
Radio query

The latest radio states it is 4.49.25.95 (AT&T)

Does that mean the radio can be flashed only for phones on the ATT network or is it for ATT phones on any network??

I have a TMobile phone in India.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
You can flash it as long as you're flashing it on a GSM phone.

In my country there is no AT&T network but the radio works just fine ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DennisSclan8:
Just adding 2 cents worth, have run 4.49.25.57 since arriving Enid, Oklahoma couple years ago and it always proved itself best.
