If internet is slower with 2.07 radios. Then what is improved with them?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kentaHD2:
I flashed 2.07.50.27_2 also and have been encountering a problem using WiFi. It does connect at first place but stop completely yet still shows a proper WiFi connection.

Anyone has the same problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tech0815:
Had 2.07.51.05_2 on my device with latest Anja-Rom. Now flashed 2.07.50.27_2 to enable the 576 MB :-) System date changed back to somewhat 1980!? Short test: BT ok, WLAN ok, GPS working again after 2-3 softresets.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] g.lewarne:
i had obscene battery drain with 2.07.50.27_2 I also had the same WiFi problem (connected but not transferring data)

Flashed it back to 2.06.50.23_2 and all is fine again now, battery life better and wifi works again

seemed i got a GPS lock faster too :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pongster:
My battery life and signal improved using 2.07.50.27_2.

Wifi and 3G off, from 100% to about 94% in about 9 hours (light file browsing, back-ups, no phone calls)

I'm located in the Philippines so I'm not sure if certain radios are designed to perform better in certain areas.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] antaed:
hi, i'm facing the same issues with this radio. can you tell me where is your location and perhaps a link to your current radio.thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Diamantes:
well guys, I have 2.07.50.27_2 on board. Travelling across Europe for work, no issue and 576 ram enable... normal consumption as 2.06, good wifi and wifi router features... good for me! :)

1.66 WWE & 2.07.50.27_2 results

Have been using 2.07.50.27_2 since it appeared on here with 1.66 WWE from HTC and have to report it is defiantly better on O2 in the UK.

Been running fieldtest with it now and going from places where I had a marginal 3G signal I now have at least 1bar. Fieldtest reports several cell's now within range where as the previous 2.06 radio had 3 I now have 5 and the figures from the program show it is more sensitive to GSM than it was.

Battery life if great. But I did not have any issues with 1.43 and the older radio. I leave WIFI on and have most apps that need data set to auto and I am seeing at least 1 1/2 days of battery from 100% to 10% and the warning it is getting slow and that is with pretty normal phone life.

Had one soft reset so far *but* that might be other things I have installed and I have not had to soft reset it again since. Might just be one of those things!

Otherwise happy with 2.07.50.27_2 and do not feel the need to try and gain the extra RAM with flashing a new ROM for that as there are various reports here for people having issues with radios and ROMs!

Also someone said they had a problem flashing roms with customruu after installing hspl - I can confirm I could not use customruu to flash the radio ROM I had to use the Chinese HTC version that is floating around the forums.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ancola66:
By me are all connected (Wifi, BT, GPS, Phone, internet transferring data) work very well with Radio 2.07.50.27_2. I think the internet connection depends greatly on transmission lines and bandwidth (Fast or slow).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] eskasi:
I also had issues with the battery.... got rid of it quick... testing 2.07.51.05_2 I am wondering if the slight difference will make much of a difference. Otherwise I will revert back to 2.06 too...

2.07.50.27_2 hard resetting

wwe stock 1.66, mtty'ed before the rom -task 29

flashed 2.07.50.27_2 radio, now my phone hard resets after i take out the battery and start it back up.

Anyone else have this?

ps. managed to drop hd2 from 1m high before flashing radio, everything seemed fine no scratches, no battery hard reset thing. flashed the radio, problem happened. *drop took a chunk outta my floor board, i think the camera bezel took the fall. *rolls eyes*

so either its the radio (hope), or my phone's retarded now

edit flashed back to 2.06.51.07 radio, no hard resetting problem.

anyone else experience 2.07.50.27_2 hard reseting after battery out?

I hope its not actually a damaged phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] linuxis:
Just tested the case. Power Off/ battery out for 5sec/ battery in/ Power On.

No hard reset, everything is fine.

But !!! battery dropped from 20% to 8%. But I think it is OK because of onesimple reason - after flashing to 27_2 I still did not charged the battery. Also noticed some strange drain issues today - soft reset helped. Also think it was good to power of and take batt out after flashing.

I thing that I have a right to state something only after some discharge/charge cycles :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] eskasi:
Sigh... I am having quite bad battery drain issues with all the 2.07 radios. Couple of short 2 min calls, Update on RSS using EDGE (3G is off and not using Wifi) and battery is down 15% in 1 1/2 hrs? That's pretty bad isnt it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] asefsef:
Power still on, take battery out. see what that's like? thats what caused the problem for me, not power off then take out battery
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] linuxis:
Now charging. After that will try!!! Idea of taking battery from operating device is not a good, but in real life you can drop the device and battery can pop out or smth...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] asefsef:
i had to soft reset, and have no pointy objects for that reset hole.

batt out shouldn't be worse than pressing reset right? i think the reset button just disconnects power
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] linuxis:
Not shure :) Usually reset is a some sort of signal not just the power disconnect.

So the test:

Power ON, operating, - battery out !!!.

Battery in - Power ON everythings as it was :) So no problems !!!!!

BTW U use File system cache ? If yes it could be the case. In some cases if you use big cache power of/battery taking out can damage file system. I so that once - uniexpierenced user (my wife and touch pro).She was chronically not charging the device - power offed many times and the result. Personally also expierenced once hardreset after battery taking out (long time ago).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] asefsef:
well sure like to know if batt out while device on causes hard reset on 2.07.50.27_2 for other people as well , cos thats not a good radio.

my device doesn't do that with other radios i've tried. (2.06.50.04 not tried)

using a few different radio, it seems batt life is pretty hard to tell properly. from what i've seen a radio that good signals strength (which i think differs in different countries) give good battery life. perhaps the trying to connect to a network part is battery demanding or something

my assumptions correct? or..?

radio 2.07.50.27 no good in the netherlands

after using the 2.07.50.27 radio for a couple of days and traveling across the country. i've come to the conclusion this radio is not very good for the netherlands. coverage and connection speed are poor. i'm reverting back to the 2.06.50.23 radio which works like a charm in the netherlands(best radio to date).

Took the plunge with this radio thanks to your detailed report as I'm also on O2. I have to say, the battery life is outstanding. Just 12% down overnight (roughly 8 hours) with email push running on 2G.

Only had one soft reset when none of the buttons worked and I couldn't touch the top of the screen (to get the battery meter) for some reason.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Shasarak:
Hi there. I apologise if this question has already been answered, but 41 pages is a lot to plough through.... :( I'd like to try installing an up-to-date radio ROM, but am unable to.

My phone was originally a T-Mobile branded HD2. I've flashed it with the HardSPL and then installed the stock HTC ROM, version 1.66. That worked fine.

I downloaded a possible radio file from the first post in this thread. The file had a .7z extension. I also downloaded the Custom_RUU.exe which is linked to in the first post of this thread. I created a new folder (called "temp") in the root of the C: drive on my PC. I copied Custom_RUU.exe into that. I then copied the radio ROM file, then renamed it to RUU_Signed.nbh. I connected my HD2 to the PC's USB port and established a viable ActiveSync connection. Then I ran Custom_RUU.exe.

Everything is okay for the first two screens, but then I get a cryptic error message, and the installation programme exits. (See attached screenshots). Can anyone suggest where I might be going wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
Edit: Ignore this, talking out of my arse...

Also, don't forget. If you flash a stock ROM using the SD card, it will replace your HardSPL back to the stock version with will not allow you to re-flash your radio. Just something else to look out for.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Shasarak:
In response to this I tried renaming the radio ROM file to RRU_Signed.nbh but that doesn't work either. Same problem. :(

(I've tried it with two different downloaded radio files as well).

Noted, but I haven't tried to do that, and the HardSPL still reports itself correctly in the bootloader screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
I've just re-read what you did and think I've got it. :D

You do know that a .7z file is like a zip file. You need to extract that before you rename it. Have you done that? Otherwise it won't recognise the format of it. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Shasarak:
I didn't know that, no. Now that I do, that helps considerably!

(Might be worth mentioning this in the 1st post of the thread - I can't be the only person who has never heard of a 7-zip archive before).

3G US ATT?

Hi guys,

I tried the in thread search and didn't find anything and couldnt read all 40 pages. I was simply wondering if any of the newer radios support 3G in the US for ATT.

2) Which one gives increased battery life?

3) Which one possibly unlocks upgraded RAM + ROM?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] broncogr:
You are welcome
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
Just try different Radios but make sure you give them a couple of charge cycles of use between so you can do a proper comparison.

You won't get the extra RAM because it's a combination of ROM and Radio that unlocks it. You'll need to get one of the 1.66 or later ROM's I think.

It really is just a case of experimentation. Different Radio's for different networks areas etc.

You dont have to flash new ROM you must flash new RADIO !!

I can confirm some troubles with Radio ROM 2.07.50.27_2, and I could repeatedly reproduce the problem:

When flashing a ROM which includes this Radio ROM, no problem.

Then, trying to flash any other ROM, the phone got stuck in the startup screen.

The only remedy was to re-flash another Radio ROM version.

Just like some other posters here, I went back to 2.06.50.23._3 - mainly because of the extended RAM.

Reception and battery lifetime are really decent with this one.

2.07.50.27.2

I have to agree. By the end of a Wednesday, when my HD2 is used the most for calls and data, I'm lucky if it's still going by 7pm.

I now have 49% battery life with this 2.07.50.27.2 Radio after 12 hours of fairly heavy call and data use on 2G.

It is quite an outstanding radio. No idea what they've done, but it's amazing! The only thing I've noticed is a slight drop in the loudness of a call, but that might be me.

OK I understand the point of rilphone.dll but I am still confused as to whether or not I need to use it.

Currently I have the 1.66 WWE stock ROM with the Radio that shipped with that.

I have looked at the comments and am considering trying the Radio that ships with TMoUS 2.07. I have looked in my Windows directory (with hidden files showing) and there is no rilphone.dll in there at the moment. Do I need to download and copy the rilphone.dll into the /Windows/ directory for the Radio I am considering to work properly? There was mention on the front page of making a cab or using resco explorer... how does resco explorer put the file in that location any better than the built in explorer?

It's great that you've added the FAQ to the first post but you haven't said in what situation the RilPhone.dll is needed.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
Newbie fail! :(

Have you read ANY threads about flashing at all.

Try and search for "Custom_RUU" and read a bit about this topic in general or you're going to brick your device.

The RUU_Signed.nbh is the file you're going to flash onto the device. you need a flashing program to do it, namely Custom_RUU :cool:

I am a newbie yes but I have flashed HSPL and my ROM with DUTTY HG but I want to try different RADIO at the moment my Radio is 2.06.50.23_3 but that doesn't give me the extra RAM, so after downloading the RADIO onto my PC what do I do next, less sarcasm please !

After download I don't see the custum_RUU file what am I doing wrong !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
There was no sarcasm in my last post. I was telling you go and READ.

Then I went on to tell you what to actually do because I figured you wouldn't be bothered to.

You need to use a Custom_RUU like the one that came with your ROM and replace the ROM Signed_RUU.nbh with the Radio one that you downloaded and extracted. Then Run Custom_RUU just like you did with your ROM and it will flash the new Radio for you.

The reason the Custom_RUU isn't included with each radio is because once you have one, you don't need it again and again. You just use the same one.
