Yes, flashing a radio won't touch the ROM, so you can do what you suggest. Upgrading a very old radio like that will probably help. You shouldn't have any rilphone.dll issues though, I think that's a historical thing.

You'll need to HardSPL the phone first though, unless you can find an official ROM upgrade with the radio built-in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Collis:
Thank you for the quick reply. Thanks for the heads up on the HardSPL.

Noob here, but .91 is a definite improvement as far as signal here in Orlando. I would get two bars consistently (in couch position) with the stock radio. .91 is always 3 or 4 bars (mostly 4). Everything else is at least the same or slightly improved. Not sure on battery life yet, need to use it some more.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Modernly:
Currently in my first day using .91 and so far in Phoenix (always in 3g coverage) signal seems to be solid (maybe a bit better) and battery life is good too. I'll edit with a weekend report after using it and going through a few charges etc.

Hey just upgraded to 4.49.25.91, My signal just went from 2 to 4,, just flashed it now. Hows the battery life on that??

Flashed .91 on my 20100221 e2ROM by era2er using the .91 rilphone switch cab. I'm getting noticably better 3G and H reception in my house. Where I usually got 0-1 bars, I'm now getting 1-2; where I was getting 1-2 (my best indoor reception), I'm consistent at 2 and see 3 bars 50% of the time. I've never gotten that kind of reception.

This is compared with stock .20 with a .20 rilphone (on stock rom and previous e2ROM), and .17 with the .20 rilphone (on the same 20100221 e2ROM). Era2er has cooked in a great rilphone switch into the newest ROM which was genius. It has worked great with the new .91 and offers you different rilphone and radio combinations.

I think wpbear is on the same set-up? Hows it been for you with the new ROM?

.91

Just flashed the 25.91 radio. In only a few hours I like it over the 25.88. My D/L speed went from 350 kbps to 465 kbps. I am running the same ROM (NRG 02/26, 23541) for both tests.

A cold start of GPS got a lock in say <20 sec.

My phone audio quality of calls seems to be cleaner

I flashed radio .91 and Sergio76 has a fast rom built with the rilphone.dll for this radio. If you wanted to flash a new rom I say you try his out with radio .91.

Two days on radio .91 and here is central Florida I am very happy with it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] m8tix:
Yep, can fully confirm this :) Running same rom with the latest radio and get significantly improvement on everything (signal in my area, battery life, voice quality)

The only thing I've noticed in comparison to .17 is that I've get a much worse signal in low populated regions but in my main area there seems to be a huge upgrade switching to the .91 one.

Hi, can I flash the .91 radio to a att tilt2 with the stock rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SilverLynx:
You have to use the Hard-SPL Unlocker for Rhodium AT&T Tilt 2 first.

.91 Radio Results

Good lord. The new .91 radio is great for me. I've received measurably better battery life with the new radio while keeping excellent signal. I use GPS in-frequently so I can't comment on that portion reliably. I charged at night and was up and running for two days before I put back on the charger at 25%.

Consider me a fan.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
I'm quite liking .91 also, I live in an area where 3 bars of GPRS next to the windows is a good day, yet with .91 I seem to keep some signal most of the way around my house.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] crazyC:
Yes- have just switched to the .91 radio (using 26 feb LEO EnergyRom) and it seems to have arrested the heavy drain I was experiencing on 3g with the most recent Vodafone one. (although 2g was not too bad).

Too early to draw many conclusions and will check GPS later, but for any Vodafone UK people this seems OK.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] RussBaker:
Hi there,

Please help! What am I doing wrong? I flashed Ark's Rom at the weekend and now want to flash the latest Radio also.

When I try running the exe file on my PC I get a 'Permission' error. If I copy the nbh file to my storage card it, bootloader doesn't find any image. I even tried renaming it to RHODIMG.nbh but it still said No image found.

Any ideas? I must be doing something right to have flashed Ark's ROM in the first place (which is a great ROM!)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] deeken:
I've been using .91 for a few days now but I have been unable to pull up any GPS satellites. I'm in the NYC area and have walked around the city but can't pick up anything anywhere. Once I went back to 4.48.25.20 I was able to pick up GPS satellites.

This sucks because I was getting a lot better phone signal and the internet was a lot faster on .91. I wish there was a way to incorporate the GPS of 4.48.25.20 with the Data/phone of the .91
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
What OS rom are you using? Maybe that's making a difference...??

I'm asking because this isn't a problem with 4.49.25.91 in general...at least, GPS works fine for me on that radio. And since GPS is satellites, it can't be a local issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] deeken:
I was using "|R|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| Energy "Leo" 23541/21892 |Feb 26| Sense 2.5.2012 / MaxManila"

I used both 23541 & 21892 and I used them with MaxManila and without it. So I used a total of 4 different ROM's. I've also downgraded to 4.49.25.88 and 4.49.25.57 but neither of them worked. I've actually left my phone outside my window for a few minutes to try to get a GPS fix but no dice. The only one that worked was 4.48.25.20.

I don't know man, I was messing around with this all night and eventually gave up and went back to 4.48.25.20.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wpbear:
I think .91 may give less GPS, I was in Seattle traveling and while .91 GPS worked the building gave me trouble getting a signal sometimes. I didnt try another radio there but in DC when I had .88 GPS lock GPS faster and the building didnt interfere in DC. So you may be right.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:

I'm sustaining download speeds on Wireless 'N' over 4000 Kbps (with some very high spikes to 8000 Kbps:)). 3G coverage is much better, although download speeds are about the same. Voice sounds the same, though I did get static on 4.49.25.17, and I haven't with 4.49.25.91. GPS is fast lock and awesome! battery life is slightly better than 4.49.25.17.

Just my two cents :D

Been on 91 for about 2 weeks and... Sound the alarms. This one is a thumbs down for me :( Data speed is decent, call quality so-so (no discernible difference) but GPS on a *cold* lock is absolutely terrible. Those who say the GPS is good - turn GPS off in one location then on when you're somehwhere else (another city, for example) - you'll see what I'm talking about. It takes the better part of a century to cold-lock. Trying 57 or some such now.

Can somone compare new ROM 4.49.25.91 with old one?

What is new in this ROM?

WM6.5.3?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dj_doeboy:
I don't know if you are serious, but just in case:

These are Radio Versions, NOT Roms. Basically, certain versions of the radio will give you better internet speeds (either through wi-fi or 3g/EDGE), boost GPS speeds / signal, etc. If you want different builds of WM (6.5.X), you would need to flash an actual ROM.

On a side note, I was using 4.49.25.91 for about 2 weeks and had slightly faster 3G speeds but battery life was horrible (18 hours or so of heavy use and standby) even after a hard-reset. Now I'm back to 4.48.25.20 and the awesome battery life (1.5 - 2 days of heavy use / standby) and the slight speed difference is more than tolerable.

OK so tried the 91 version didnt like it as far as jumping back and forth from H to E. Now i did change roms. so i will check 17 again with this rom. because i may get the same result. but other than that. everything worked great. Wifi was wonderful.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Justin241982:
Stupid question

What is the actual purpose of a new radio release? Is it just overall improvements to the quality of features the radio provides or is it like wifi when you have to many people in the same area on the same channel you get interference? If you have to many people in the same area with the same radio do they interfere with each other? I am just wondering?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
It's gotta be 1) 'cause they use the same bands/frequencies on any radio-rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Justin241982:
Doesn't wifi all go out on he same bands? Or at lest similar frequencies?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
My point is that changing to a different radio wouldn't change the frequency -- they all use the same frequency. So, while bandwidth-limitation -- too many people on the same band -- does cause problems, it doesn't solve the problem to use a different radio rom.

So that's not the reason for different radio roms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dizzyraider:
After a couple weeks of using .91, I noticed that although the phone shows much stronger signal, I lose signal dramatically whenever I hold the phone up to dial or picking up a phone call. I found that 4.48.25.20 gave me a much more steady signal although showing lower bars.

I'm wondering if anyone else using .91 has this happening as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:

Hey guys, I dont know if others are experiencing this, but i have radio .91 in and it has been working well for days until now.

I just noticed that I have no network connection where I usually have outstanding network connection. I reset the phone multiple times and I have given it LOTS of time to find a connection.

Does anyone know what I should do? Maybe flash a different radio and see if it comes back?

Aside from that, I live in NJ and .91 was working fantastic, battery life is great, and I usually have a 3g or HSDPA connection.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SilverLynx:
If you are happy with the call/data/gps reception in you area, then don't bother flashing a new radio. But if you think you might better reception, etc. then give a new radio a try, but first you must use the Hard-SPL unlocker, and I'm not sure which one to use on the Touch Pro 2 as I have a Tilt 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] joseph881:
The Touch Pro 2 and the Tilt 2 are one and the same. It's just that AT&T changed up the keyboard, remove secondary front VGA camera, and put in the antenna for US 3g, other than that, they're identical. It's the exact same scenario as the Tytn II and the original Tilt. So he can go use the HardSPL from the official thread.

Noobie Question

hello Guys,

I just flashed my first cooked rom and wanting to know what is the best rado for it. currently at bootup seen .20..

I would like to also know is what is the difference between htc and an ATT radio? And how can I tell if I have 3g access or not? All I see on my screen is an H.

any help would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
H is 3G.

IMHO, any radio 4.49.25.17 and later (higher number) is worth trying. Different people in different locations -- maybe using different ROMs -- have different experiences with the radio-roms. You'll just have to try and find what works best for you. There's really nothing carrier-specific about the radio-roms (as long as you don't go to CDMA-land and flash one of theirs). ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Redman0570:
What's the best radio for you? That's the question. Each radio has different results depending on your carrier and location. Best thing to do is to test the top 5 most recent radio, sometimes they older ones are still ok. Test for battery drain, data speed, voice call quality, and if it drops calls (mostly while driving switching towers). Once you get a good radio stick to it.

You can cheat by searching this thread and look for your location and carrier and see what people are using in your area, that will narrow it down to two or three radios, then you test and see which you like the best.

Edit:

WOW Download speed is 2388+ kbps, never been that fast without wifi on. GPS next...

Edit: GPS Locks on fairly quickly, getting 4-5 GPS signals on the first floor of my house (was getting up to 7 on 4.49.25.91) was getting 8-9 outside. It actually maybe more accurate then before...

Voice sounds fine, but has a bit of static in speaker phone mode.

Signal is very good! four bars where I was getting 3 or 2 with 4.49.25.91

DISCLAIMER:

This is only after about an hour using. I don't know about battery life, and won't be able to give you an accurate battery life because I just installed an extended battery yesterday and a new ROM the day before. I'll update and/or post any new finds/problems, but so far it's a bit better then 4.49.25.91
