2.09.51 Radio report...

Network: Vodafone

Location: South Wales (Valleys/Central/East)

Battery: Acceptable/Good

Reception: Very Good (Get H all the way from Cardiff up the valleys with a couple of GPRS only spots)

Call quality: Good

Data speed: Good

Overall: Best radio I have tested so far. Tested stock radio in 1.43/1.48/1.66 + 2.07.50.27

Notes: Phone seems to boot a LOT quicker than before. It gets past the animation where it plays the sound 2 seconds before the sound is played.

hi

I want to which one of these radio working in 3G in the Canada. Please help me
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Qazz~:
sorry bout my sig size, now its resized, and if u read my sig u would have aldready known that my device is hspled, i'm asking cause the RUU_Leo_dopod_CHS_Radio_2.09.51.03_2.exe, is an exe file thus should i just run it, or extract the .nbh and use the custom RUU to flash it?

anyways i have aldready just ran the exe and flashed the new radio,

Feedback: Extremely significant echo, i can very clearly hear my own voice being repeated about a second after i have spoken.A friend also commented that he could also clearly hear his own voice being repeated when i was talking to him. weird...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
whether 3g works or not is down to the hardware in the phone, not the radio. unless you mean which radio makes 3g BETTER in canada.if 3g doesn't work on your phone, changing radio won't help.

ANY IDEAS ?:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] b1g_d:
where did you get this battery from, it sounds amazing! I'm lucky to get a day out of mine!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
if you can't get more out of your original battery, an oem one is not going to help you any I'm afraid :)

You should still be able to enter bootloader and reflash the old radio from there.

Search in the forums for instructions on how to do that
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AvRS:
2.09 is definitely the best radio I've tried on mine. I'm on 02 UK and both the battery and signal has improved especially on H I now get full bars at home and other places. Biggest improvement is definitely the battery though. I've previously used standard radios that come with 1.43 and 1.66 roms, then 2.07 and 2.08 which was the worst of all of them. Will be sticking with this one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Owendavies:
Hows the call quality? I found that with all 2.07 and 2.08 there is a hissing/static sound in the background of calls.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] b1g_d:
Fair enough...:rolleyes: battery life was ok before, just seems to be draining v. quickly with my new rom/radio combo... shame cos otherwise i was finally happy with my phone!

will try the 2.09 radio 2night... any other tips to improve battery life?

cheers....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Hakeem5:
ANy other news on the TMO US 2.09 radio possibility? any success stories on installing it and increasing battery life? the only story i see so far from a Tmo US HD2 upgraded 2.09 radio nearly ended up in a brick lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Starfury:
Then I suggest you read a bit more...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AvRS:
I've never experienced any issues with call quality apart from 1 call but think that was my dad's phone and not mine as it hasn't happened since on any calls. It may have some but nothing obvious or my ears aren't sensitive enough to pick it up so have no issues.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] b1g_d:
Just to let people know, tried to flash the 2.09 radio with my current rom (Leon v1.5 wwe) and the phone got stuck booting up (on the HTC screen) - reflashed 2.07 and all seems fine again.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
2.09 appears not to be compatible with any 576MB RAM patched rom, alas
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alexsql:
Seriously

"you should still be able ... search the forums..." is not helpful at all. The man said that the phone won't turn on at all. I have the same thing, 2.09.51 radio bricked my TMo US HD2. It CANNOT even get into the bootloader.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Starfury:
Read the post above yours for your answer, it has been stated numerous times in this thread and the one where you can download the Radio from.

TMo US HD2 has 576Mb RAM available in its ROM thus 2.09.51 Radio WILL NOT WORK WITH IT!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fz9999:
Can someone update the first message in this thread with links to the 2.09 radios please?

And maybe which ones work with 576MB and which ones don't?

I think I've got the hang of that bit but it seems to catch a few people out :p:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
My opinion... Sir

you must update the first page, these Radios are from T-Mobile HD2 1024 Phone

or

to move this thread to T-Mobile USA HD2 ROM Development
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alexsql:
I read them

Unfortunately they stated that it won't work with "576mb ram PATCHED roms", which made me wrongfully assume that native 576 roms work
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
uhm, well now, you cannot blame me for your free choice to burn that radio can you :p

Anyway, I find it very strange that you cannot enter bootloader. Other people in other threads have installed 2.09 and all they got was device freezing on first boot screen; all it took was opening hspl screen and flash older radio from there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alexsql:
No

I do not blame you or anyone, stuff happens.

I'd just like to know if it is possible to fix it. Actually, come to think of it, maybe it was just a coincidence that it happened while I was doing the Task 29 with new radio, maybe it just 'legitimately' die at that moment.

I'll have it replaced by T-Mobile and see what they'll say.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
any radio with ...51... in the version number will NOT work with ANY rom that has 576 ram.(whether ram tweak or tmous)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
if you're positively 100% sure there is no way on earth to enter bootloader, then yup, you may go for the warranty servicing card. If they cannot verify that you've installed HSPL, they'll just have to believe you :p

TMOUS Radios

I find that the 2.07.50.27 radio gives my tmous hd2 much better battery life. It's only been a day but i can see the difference already. I used to be able to watch my battery drain 10-20% in a matter of minutes. Battery drain is much slower now. Also the signal is noticeably stronger even areas where t-mo signal is weak. Haven't noticed any negative effects so far.

My Experiences with Telstra T-9193 In California

I have flashed my Telstra T-9193 with the HTC OEM 1.66 Asia WWE rom and the 2_09_51_03 radio. It works perfect for me here in Northern California and throughout my travels all across the US. I use AT&T 3G and get H with four bars almost all of the time. All other radio features work perfect as well. I have tried the 06 and 07 radios, and the 09 is by far and away the best.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noellenchris:
how is your 3G going? Is it still switching alot from 3G to Edge even when it's in one spot? Thanks for the update on the radio too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dkb218:
I tried the 2.07.50.27 rom lastnight. This was much worse than 2.08.50.08. Was without signal more than with it. Switched back to the stock for now.

Question: I have a TMOUS HD2. I notice that there is no RILPHONE.DLL file on the Windows folder. Is this file needed? I ask because my reception is crap. I do have a file called RIL.DLL. Is this the same file?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noellenchris:
I usually cab up the file and install, bypass security and also you can uninstall (restores old ril.) You probably can't see the file (system hidden). That's all I know....sorry

i have installed radio

Leo_RADIO_15.33.50.07U_2.07.50.27 **(from TMOUS 2.07)

and i did overwrite the rilphone.dll in windows folder with

TMOUS 2.07 rilphone.dll

and I lost signal on my phone ???

EDIT: reinstalled official 1.66.405.2 and now is ok

one question ???

do i must put rilphone.dll if i put Leo_RADIO_15.33.50.07U_2.07.50.27 **(from TMOUS 2.07)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
Some others would yell at you "RTFM!", I am just going to say "you shouldn't have".

Delete rilphone.dll and reboot.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
or you could go start your own radio thread in the tmous section. its not out dated at all for most users.

anyway its dead easy for tmous. its not "us and non us" its ones that can read 576mb and those that can't. if theres a .51. in it it will brick your tmous. simple.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yes you can. the network settings are usually extracted from your sim card when you first boot.

if you have a problem you can download a network setup cab from this forum.

Radio test

Is there a way to make a test of radios?

I would like to have a signal test, gps test and so on... to understand what is the best radio with objective datas.

For example I'd like to see what is signal strenght in the same point of my house with different available roms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
go to your dial pad and type

*#*#364#*#*

this will give you some signal strength info etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] toxicstone:
what is what?

RX quality is 99

and the rest i dont know, not even RX :P

btw i cant get radio signal, on radio, i gut one first but after seek and save it didnt give me any, except one thats not a radio station :/
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Heh sorry im not an engineer, just a secret menu code someone mentioned some time ago.

As for the radio, which is indeed pretty bad, mine only finds one station when i auto scan, i have to manually set the rest up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DiamondGeeza:
LAC code is the base station site code

RSSI is Recieved Signal Strenght Indicator

RSSI 1 is same but actual level in db 4 bars for me is anything over -92

the Ncell numbers give you the adjacent cells signal strength.

hi I can't seem to install a new radio version. I'm using a UK T-Mobile HD2 bought in November last year. So bot even sure if I can use "Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08 **(from TMOUS 2.09)" But I tried it anyway. Tried another one as well but the result is the same.

I'm trying CustomRUU and the radio file (renamed to "RUU_Signed.nbh") put in the same folder and running the CustomRUU exe file. The process is stuck at 0%. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

My settings are as follows: factory

ROM 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE

Radio 2.05.51.05_2

I was just trying to update to the latest EnergyROM (1st April) version and that required a new radio version. I'm sorry for the stupid questions and I'm a noob at this. It's just that it's too hard to follow all the developments that are happening with this device! Thanks to all for working towards this and I would really appreciate if someone coulf please help me out with this..

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] joe460:
I've noticed similar results using Vodafone Australia. Very good battery and signal. Everything seems to work much better and boot time is definitely faster.

Getting good "H" HSPA signal for data, GPS, FM Radio, Camera, etc. seems good.

I've just changed from Radio 2.08 since I used a ROM with the 576MB RAM fix. This seemed to suck so much battey, I had to charge mid afternoon to get through the day.

Changed to non-576MB ROM and radio 2.09.51.03 a few days ago and seems to be allowing me to last 1.5 days or more before recharge is required. Moderate use (heavy use easily lasts a day).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Have you HSPL'd? are you running the customruu as administrator? (right click 'run as administrator')
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
samsam answered you already (yet another thing to put in first post together wil rilphone.dll notes :p), anyway, regarding this step I must dissent from all the tutorials around.

I like to keep all my nbh files with an explicative name, in order to know what's what, and when I flash something I simply copy the said file in the customruu folder. CustomRUU.exe never had a problem at flashing the nbh it found, whatever the filename was. Last time for example I flashed "Radio 2.09.xxxx.nbh" and "Axlor_Leo_XLITE.nbh" no problem ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mssx:
Thanks to both of you! I thought i had HSPL'd but seems i uninstalled it after I did it the first time. Used HSPL2 this time to install 2.08. All works fine now. Installed EnergyRom now with GTX theme...really nice!

thanks esp to samsamuel, always with helpful info and FAST! really appreciate it :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Latz:
Thanks for the great post with all the radios in one place - very handy!!

One question though.... how do I tell the versions of the radio from the filename? Example, Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08 **(from TMOUS 2.09) has both 2.08 and 2.09 in the title name?

I'm guessing the above example is 2.08 radio?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
er.... yes :)

"TMOUS 2.09" is the base rom version, 2.08 is the radio version. Same concept goes for everything else.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Latz:
Thanks :-)

HD2 RADIO vs tmous

Just a reminder here:

FOR HD2 THE 3RD NUMBER IN RADIO VERSION MUST BE 51, FOR TMOUS - 50, and later must not be used for HD2 at all.

And do not alter RILPHONE.DLL, otherwise it will give you a majour headache.

Besides, why are we talking only about 3g reception here? The GPS part of radios is pretty important too. (as for 3g, 2.09.51.. reception is very good for me). What about GPS, HD2 is a whole shame, having EXTREMELY noisy GPS output, I have never seen such a bad GPS device in my life. Obviously, HD2 radios are trying to somehow correct lousy HD2 GPS receiver, e.g. 2.09.51.. is trying hardly to predict your path using your current speed and direction to soften creasy GPS noise. Radio 2.07.51.. does not do this in my observations. What are your opinions on this issue, dear colleagues?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
A bit confusing there, so just for clarity...

'normal' hd2 - can use any radio, ..50.. or ..51.., however if you are using a rom that unlocks the hidden extra ram, then only a ..50.. radio will show the extra ram, and a ..51.. radio will stick at grey screen when you boot.

This is not a problem, just boot to bootloader and correct the radio.

'tmous' hd2 - never ever flash any radio with ..51.. in the vesrion. Thats it, period, you WILL kill your phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noellenchris:
I have to disagree about the GPS, I have 2 HD2's and the GPS is better than my TP leaps and bounds, and much better than my 2 bluetooth GPS units and Garmin. Both phones pull sats on my first floor of my 2 story house! It blows me away. Never had a GPS pull downstairs in my house... No speed lag like my TP, and finds a fix extremely fast. You might want to check your AGPS settings. Could be the server it's connecting to?

Hey guys, just upgraded my hd2 to Leo_RADIO_15.36.50 .07U_2.09.51.03.... realising that my call history isnt updating.... so i downgraded back to the stock Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07 ... and its doing the same thing... any ideas? thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bastanamnet:
Well, I do not navigate inside house :) and do not mind much if the GPS locks indoor, though HD2 does it very easily indeed (and fast). What I mean is the very poor precision of HD2 GPS - it constantly gives a 10-20 meters error in all directions. My old Samsung i780 has an error within 2 meters. Just record your path (on foot) with e.g. RunGPS or NaviComputer and you will see the the ugly zigzag line instead of a smooth one which I used to have with i780. Of course if you are not lucky to have HD2 with much better GPS..

(It is OK with TomTom car navigation, though).

This GPS talk may seem a bit off-topic, but GPS is the part of radio, anyway..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bastanamnet:
I have had a problem with my HD2 after flashing to 2.09.51.03 over the old configuration: cooked Artemis 7 ROM + 2.07.51.. radio. After this flashing my phone stopped ring and alarm (no sound), only vibration left. Nothing helped - I tried to switch almost all ring and alarm sounds, tried all relevant and irrelevant settings.. Had to reflash everything: first the 2.09.51.03 radio (with task 29, formatting phone ROM), then Artemis 7 ROM again. Now it works allright..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zap1:
thanks for that information dude :)

i noticed tomtom switching me around a little bit and recalculating the route for some secs when i waited for the green light sometimes...

that may also be because of the zigzag-issue.

what's the best Radio for Germany? I'm currently on 2.06.51.07 but I would like to upgrade to a x.xx.50.xx to unlock the 576MB. Signal and power drain improved over the Radio I had before but maybe I could do better. But those Radios are from all around the world as I understand it, so I'm asking if you could tell me the best for Germany. TIA
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ephestione:
no, actually the advantage of flashing radios vs flashing entire roms is that you don't have to hard reset, and don't even need to... the only reported "flaw" of flashing a new radio is that, apparently, and for some reason that escapes my logic, you will have an increased battery drain for the first two days of use or so.

Anyway, flashing a new radio, if that is compatible with your rom, doesn't imply anything bad, other that possibly a lower reception and increased routine battery drain in the worst case scenario.

Don't scare people needlessly :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aardwulf:
hey guys, would a T-mobile radio work well in Europe? thanks for replies in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stevemilw:
im no genious, but i expect the drain in battery life is down to different methods of programming, for instance, a different rom may read the battery life and see it as low, when instead it is medium. untill it has gone through a few cycles to re- calibrate the battery life. with a different radio, may cause a different algorithm for the use of power, unexpect to the previous setup which used a different algorithm. perhaps im a bit off , but thats my logic anyway.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
all the radios will work on any network anywhere. Whether one is better than another seems to be down to the individual phone it is on.
