When do you get the virus warning? During download, or when you try to start the .exe file?

The CustomRUU.exe, which is necessary to flash the RadioROM creates false warnings.

Try this RAR file or this RAR without the CustomRUU.

not sure how i am feeling abotu 4.49.25.17. I get horrid signal here in my office. just flashed 4.49.25.17 and got 4 bars. i was really excited! untill i tried to call out or call the phone. nothing. even though i'm getting full bars. texts can't send or receive and internet doesn't work....blah!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Seems you are the only one. Do you use a stock ROM or one of the cooked ROM's?

I am using 4.49.25.17 since its out and I had never problems. Get my push emails, can connect to internet and never had a problem with calls.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kevinzong:
Me too!!!

4.49.25.17 maybe is the best radio for me in China.

It works very good!:D

I think everyone should try it!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] haroldgv:

Tried 4.49.25.57 tonight. 3G sensitivity seems about the same, but, unexpectedly, page loading speeds in Opera seem to be much quicker, almost twice as quick. It's early days, and maybe my network was having a good day,but it was still quite striking.

Other than this, all seems similar to 4.49.25.17 as far as 3G goes.

(UK, T-mobile, London area)

* Now being using it for 2 days, this ROM does seem to improve speed when browsing, it seems to make the 3G connection "more responsive". Other than that it seems similar, and I haven't noted any downsides.

That's weird. Trying to install the 4.49.25.57 Radio ROM.

Downloaded it from the second link in the first post.

when resetting the bootloader (Olinex 1.83) comes up and then very briefly shows the ROM loading screen with the message that no rom can be found. And I did copy the file to the storage card.

I renamed it to TOPAIMG.nbh like allways but this time it does not work. will download the rom from the other link, perhaps something went wrong with the transfer.

*** Tried it with both files, still no go, any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] paokaras45:
It happens some times!!!

Nobody knows what exactly causing it.

Same phone, same rom, same radio, one day it's working, other day not working.

Just use your pc to flash it (with customRUU for topaz only!!!)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] thysone:
mine just flashed. Let's see what happens :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Tane71:
Tried the 4.49.25.57, also seen that Opera is very fast to connect.

Don't know if it's linked but since tonight (with this new rom), I can't anymore reach my Gmail account (Imap account from the windows mobile classic mail app). My other account (also Imap) is going well... just weird.

[EDIT] I also get 2 crashes (never had a single one before / custom ROM) and a weird behavior when connected to PC (ActiveSync doesn't recongnizes neither automatic launches the sync. with PC).

Will try to reflash the previous radio (4.49.25.17) and try to test... Will see and tell you.

C'ya

[EDIT2] Same problem with Google Mail account and the previous radio ("error during the sync process", no more details - this issue appear on 3G/wifi/USB connection - so weird, never seen it before), then the prob doesn't come from the ROM - PC Sync behavior more stable with 4.49.25.17, will re-try the 4.49.25.57.

What about Rill.dll Files that went with the radios like with the Fuze? Is there something i am missing? do we not need to install that extra file? or has there yet someone to create these files? I never really understood the files, but they did help with certain radios.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Have the 4.49.25.57 Radio ROM now for 2 days on my phone and see a little better signal but no major improvements (here in Japan).

About battery, I see no difference to the other radio ROM's.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I saw a post somewhere (maybe here in my own thread :rolleyes:) about it. But I do not know what the heck Rill.dll is really doing. Hopefully someone with more experience can answer it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
Not sure either whether rill.dll is (still) relevant with Topaz and/or after certain build of WM6.5 ? I remember the thread vaguely, I think it's on Raphael/Fuze forum somewhere.

..As for the 4.49.25.57, it's exactly the same if not worse than the 4.49.25.17 (which I've reverted back to).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JayVee:
After one day with 4.49.25.57 I also reverted back to 4.49.25.17.

I had a lot of connection errors within Weather Tab when updating. I did not know any problems like this with .17 radio version.

Best regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] japester36:
I've had the same experience as JayVee with 4.49.25.57 so I also reverted back to 4.49.25.17.

Data was very inconsistent, also particularly on the Weather tab.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Riekr:
i also rolled back to 4.49.25.17, 4.49.25.57 seems no better than the pevious one regarding power consumption, it has a slightly worse reception and it seems to have big problems with my bluetooth car kit. About data connections i can confirm they are a little bit faster but the connections are also more unstable than in previous version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
+1

I am 3 days on the 4.49.25.57, see only a little better signal, but higher power consumption. Going back to 4.49.25.17

Good thing I didn't change post #1 :D 4.49.25.17 is still the recommended Radio ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cyron_at:
+ 1; I also tried the new radio but after a few days I reverted back to .17 because of higher battarie drain!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Pete_S:
I've been almost a week on 4.49.25.57 now and found only benefits. 3G seems more stable, responsive, and faster. Bluetooth is unaffected for me, but I only use A2DP, not headset profile. Battery lasts as long as before. Haven't tried wi-fi, and GPS is as ****e as ever (does anyone else have to wait 10mins from a "cold start"?)

4.49.25.57 looks like being very network dependent judging by the fact most people don't like it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Riekr:
i can confirm that gps was fast and a2dp was working coorectly, but i can't live without the headset profile and a bit longer battery live was not worth the upgrade ;)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eyghon:
Since I flashed my TD2 with a cooked rom (udk leo r6) and a new radio, it seems, that the receptions is not as good as it was with my german 6.1 stock rom with the radio 3.xx (unfortunately i didn't wrote down the original radio version). In the past, in my apartment I had 100% (these for bars in the symbol in the task bar) reception most of the time. Since i flashed the radio, the reception varies between 2 and 3 bar (something between 50% and 75%). Today I tried 3.45.25.22_HTC, 3.46.25.18, 4.49.25.57 an currently 4.49.25.17.

An hour ago, i was shopping for the weekend food in our shopping centre and there were too only 2 - 3 bars in the reception indicator (normally I had never problems with the reception here in Berlin and Potsdam).

What is your opinion, what could be the problem? May it be, that the receptions varies from day to day (independently if I'm at work or at home)?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Pete_S:
First, the number of bars doesn't mean much. Usually, the newer Radio ROMs give a higher reading (more bars) to make people feel good about their phone and network! So, it's strange you are getting a lower reading with the newer ROMs.

I've got my favourite difficult locations for testing sensitivity (like at work, in the toilet which is in the basement). The original very old Radio ROM will lose reception at exactly the same location as the newest ROM will, so the sensitivity is exactly the same. But, the newer ROMs will pick up the signal again much quicker after losing it, and the speed is also far better when the signal is very weak. So, if you live or work in a poor reception area, the newer ROMs make the phone more useable.

Second, although your phone sensitivity shouldn't vary day to day, your network signal strength will. When a 3G cell is busy, you will see a lower signal strength on your phone. So, during a weekday you might get 3 bars in the same location where you get 4 bars late at night or at the weekend. This is due to so-called "cell breathing" which seems to be inherent in the 3G system.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eyghon:
Thanks for your answer. I will observe the signal strength the next days.

That is a fact, what I guess I could observe today with the new radio roms. I just hope, that I have no problem at work in my office. Every colleague has problems with phone calls. I am the only one with nearly no problems, but the only one too with e-plus as provider (must have something to do with the wave length). I will see, what my reception with the new radio rom is. It would be horrible not be able to make calls or to leave the buidling for it. The only problem on work was, my phone was switching between betwenn G and 3G minute wise (nearly).

Same here but it is not in the basement. *g* I guess the building where I work is a Faraday cage. A lot of steel in the walls, which are like gigantic mirrors to all directions...the poor birds (indeed, the birds fly against the walls, you can see it from time to time, and sometimes, your can here it).

If I flash my At&t Pure stock radio to one listed here (eg. 4.49.25.17) will I lose my 3G bands?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:

4.49.25.17 in WM6.5 HTC WWE official release battery drain?

Hello folks,

I recently updated my Touch Diamond 2 to an official HTC WM6.5 WWE ROM, which seems to have also included Radio 4.49.25.17. Something - of course I can't be sure yet it's the Radio - is causing 3x as fast battery drain as I had before. I had been running udK Leo R6 with Radio ... I'm not sure actually, but probably either 3.45.25.22 or 4.47.25.01. I'm in Spain, by the way, attached to the Vodafone network.

Has anyone seen any battery problems with this ROM (RUU_Topaz_S_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_2.16.479.1_Radio_Sign_Topaz_61.44tc.25.32_4.49.25.17_Ship) + Radio (4.49.25.17) combination?

I'm d/l'ing 4.49.25.57 right now to see if it makes any difference.

Anyone know if reverting to 4.49.25.01 would be wise with a WM6.5 HTC WWE official ROM release?

Any other suggestions for me?

Sorry for the newbie-ish post...

Thanks!

Jay

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
My own ROM is based on the HTC WWE 2.16 ROM and I used it with both the 4.49.25.17 and 4.49.25.57 radio ROMs. For me the .57 ROM had a higher battery drain.

It makes no harm to try other radios I guess, because first cooked WM6.5 ROMs were out before the 4.49.xx.xx series of radio ROMs were available.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eyghon:
@Pete_S:

Today on work, the signal strength seems to be fine. I had no more problems than with my old rom/radio. Even on the difficult location ;) it worked as expected (GSM).

But only with one thing i am not quite sure. As some users wrote an issue with some radio versions and battery drain, it may be that i have a similar problem. I have to observe that in the next days. Because at the moment i play alot with new rom. Currently installed radio: 4.49.25.17
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Buffalee:
I had problem with 4.49.25.17.

Bt drained battery in 5 hours!!

Looked it on powerguard and noticed that it doesn´t save battery on bluetooth.

On powersave mode it was about 200Ma to 400Ma(normal is somewhere 65 to 80 Without wifi or bt.)

Changed to 4.48.25.20 and it works better and longer.

In powersaving mode drainage is under 100Ma most of the time.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Pete_S:
I've never noticed a lot of difference between radio roms as regards battery use. But, I leave bluetooth on all the time, and use my phone heavily for music playing and internet, so I might not have noticed any small differences. Every night I'm down to half or less, so I recharge anyway.

Don't spend too long in your "difficult location", your employer might not be too happy

4.49.25.17 vs 4.49.25.57 ???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
the .57 is unstable, battery drainer. definitely go with .17 if to choose between the two.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] 100thMonkey:
FYI for those in the USA on ATT, 4.48.25.20 accesses both WCDMA 850 and 1900

the popular 4.49.25.17 appears to access only WCDMA 2100 and 900 in the bands menu, though I can confirm that it will attach to both WCDMA 850 and 1900 also (as verified in the field test menu)....and I know that the location where I tested does have access to both bands.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] 100thMonkey:
After messing around with all four of the most recent radios, except the last one that seems to be a battery hog. Here's my observations with the HTC field test monitor

All four were able to use both WCDMA 850 and 1900. All four had strengths around the mid -90's for the 1900 channel and around mid -80's for the 850 channel where I was at.

4.48.25.20 (came with my Pure as a the stock radio, and its the one that I went back too)

and 4.49.25.05 both seem to be more willing to swtich back and forth between the bands. 4.48.25.28 and 4.49.25.17 both fiercely held onto the 1900 band. Often times not flipping until the strenth was -105 or so. Not a lot of different for me, Using Dutty HG R5, Leo canvas. BTW, it seems that none of the radio's allow one to select WCDMA 850/1900 in the band selection menu, at least with my current ROM
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
Thanks, very useful piece of information!

Now, between 4.48.25.28 and 4.49.25.17, which one will you personally choose for its overall performance in not-so-good-of-reception area?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] 100thMonkey:
I went with 4.49.25.05 because WCDMA 850 is used a lot in metro NYC area. I understand that ATT wants to use WCDMA 1900 as control channels and tries to keep as much traffic there as they can and reserve the 850 spectrum for all their GSM devices, but holding onto to crappy 1900 sucks when stronger 850 is available. Also, 4.49.25.05 seems to work better with my location of manilla 2.5
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eyghon:
You are right. :D

I'm switching back now to 3.43.25.19 and try this version for some days. Will see, if there are recognizable differences or if i have the same signal strenght or reception behaviour as in the past.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] komsa:

v3.x vs v4.x series, engineering differences?

Has anyone ever gotten their sweaty little hands on an engineering changelog document from the manufacturers which can give us some idea of what's actually (supposed to be) different among even the major radio versions v3.x vs v4.x? Holy Grail I suppose would be changelogs for the dozens of minor versions...

It's fun flashing radio after radio, having minimal tools to see how each one works better/ worse/ different than the last, and trying to pick a "best" one for each unique circumstance... but call me a boring old fuddy duddy if you will, I'd just like the danged thing to work well :-)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Khakzoy:
Flashed my Diamond last friday to 4.49.25.57.

Works OK in the Netherlands. Can not notice any improvements directly allthough it seems a little less power hungry.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Pete_S:
Agree with that. Or, at the very least it might help to know which ROM a particular Radio ROM was "extracted" from (country? network?), it might give a clue as to the best network to use it on. I imagine HTC/Qualcomm are tweaking the ROM for different networks if the quantities of phones ordered are large enough to make it worth their while.

It might also help to know what the different parts of the version number mean. Anyone out there from HTC or Qualcomm who can shed light on that?

It must be very confusing for a "newbie" reading through this thread to learn that a particular Radio ROM (such as the newest one, for example) drains the battery more quickly if you read some posts or not as quickly if you read others! I suppose the best you can do is take note of the poster's country and network, and if they match yours, you may get similar results. Or, just try the new ROM for yourself. One thing's certain, there doesn't seem to be a "universal" ROM which is better for everyone (although 4.49.25.17 seems to come close).

And, where does the "Protocol" version fit in to all this? Any experts keeping their knowledge to themselves should come forward and explain (please)!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
That is an awesome piece of information as I too live in New York... So, let me pose this question to see if I am understanding this right, tho... In your tests (which is greatly appreciated:D), the radio sticks to the 1900 band rather than switching off to 850 with the other radios. Would changing to the 25.05 radio in theory improve battery life to the device as, instead of searching and fighting to keep the 1900 band, it would transition over to 850 and stop struggling with 1900? Or, would the fact that it is looking for a stronger signal use up more of the battery? Or does it even make a difference? Just curious...:cool:
