a better mirror PLZ ??

rapidshare or deposite or direct link (best option)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
Flashed OK. Mirror (NBH + CustomRUU zipped together): http://ul.to/slsuqv
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lucius Snow:
It just gives Leo_Radio_2.08.50.08_2.nbh file, not an installed in EXE

I read it must be copied to the root of the storage card and done with this manipulation : "holding volume down key and power button together".

But this is also mentionned that HSPL must be applied. Is it really necessary ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
If your still on stock rom I'm not sure what will happen if you flash the radio from storage card, never tried that.

I do know that if you have HSPL flashed and you flash a stockrom from storage card it will remove HSPL and restores SPL included in the stock you flash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wizard6601:
tnx but i have problem with this link too

my DL speed is 1kb/s (with this link and 4shared)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lucius Snow:
With the english EXE, i have got an Error 262 (communication errors).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Probably you need to flash HSPL first. :)

Actualy I shouldn't advise you to flash this radio unless you are on the newer rom 2.07 T-Mob but that's just my opinion.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lucius Snow:
Thanks for your help. I will check this out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nyamnyim:
What I did was to rename the ".exe" to ".zip" and then you can see the radio ".nbh" file. Extract it and flash it using the CustomRUU and viola!!! Success, but hold on to your knickers :p as I still have yet to determine whether it is better than my last radio 2.08.50.05. Shall revert....:D

No time bug :)

Overall signal reception & WiFi & BT : No issues... :cool:

Support 576MB Ram,, of course..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lucius Snow:
I did it, but still stuck at 0% That's because i didn't do the flash HSPL apparently.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Hawk19:
This radio is VERY GOOD !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
yep so far so good mate:D:D:D

Location Service

I don't see any difference with the call quality or internet signal, but there is one welcome difference. I have used many ROMs and many radio versions and in each, the location attached to the weather is not always so accurate for me. I live in the middle of nowehere and when I am at home the location update places me 10 miles away. Now it says I am at my local village just 1 mile away.

Not that important but it's the little touches that add up :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
Can i just run the RUU and flash like a ROM via HSPL?

Is it more or less the same process?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
thats not a radio issue mate is the weather tab one lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mwillems2:
Fair enough! It must be manila 2012 then. Only it was after installing this radio that my location started displaying differently.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] geekyhawkes:
Right I am doing something wrong with this ROM but cant work out what!

I am trying to flash via SD card (i have HSPL on my phone and have flashed via SD before). I have downloaded the radio rom from here (both the .zip and .rar versions), extracted and renamed LEOIMG.nhb (and leoimg.nbh) and restarted the phone with the volume button down.

The hspl bootloader screen shows but the flashing process doesnt start. What am i doing wrong this time?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
why you still flashing with you SD Card when you have HSPL?:confused:

stop doing that dude you are going to do some damage on your phone ,use hspl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] geekyhawkes:
I dont have a windows pc (only linux) so the sd seemed the safest way to flash to me. How can i flash hspl without using the sd card and no windows machine?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] B4PJS:
Unless you are flashing a stock rom I would always recommend using sd flash method. What woudl happen if your USB connection messed up half way through?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] geekyhawkes:
Kind of what i figured, so why is my hspl not flashing the radio rom then? during the start up of HSPL bootscreen i get a very brief flash of another screen but then i get the multicoloured stripes. Im guessing there must be something wrong with the rom i have downloaded here (from the 4share .rar and .zip). Rapidshare is busy so cant download from there.

B4pjs, could you upload the rom file you used for SDcard flashing please? or email it to me?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
had linux now i have win 7
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jcrompton:
I AGREEE - I would never flash with USB if I have the ability to use SD card. It takes one more piece of hardware out of the equation for potential failure. I could be wrong but I believe that 99% of the flashes that are done by the chefs and long time users are SD card method!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lake292:
i prefer usb method becuase with sd card and some official test rom u can overwrite your spl and its pain the ass to get back hspl :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] geekyhawkes:
Horses for courses and all that, my question still remains though, why is HSPL not picking up the LEOIMG file on the sd card and flashing it?

Wierd.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hpacura:
If this radio is installed, is it downgradable?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] B4PJS:
yep it is :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hpacura:
Will give it a spin :D Thanks for a quick reply bro.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
battery life and connection strength improved over 2.07 as is call clarity...so far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alipi2007:
battery life super.;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] logancruiser:
Thanks for sharing.

Working well so far (3hrs) in the US with HD2 from Telstra on AT&T 3G (UMTS 850). No negative effect on data, call quality or wifi :) Will test more tomorrow.

Any consensus here or across the pond in Europe regarding best rilphone to use with this? I 'm using 2.07; is there a corresponding ril for this radio ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Chino68:
hspl

hmmmmmm should have known ....you must installed hspl to upgrade this radio

test driving it now
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pa49:
Wouldn't flash from SD for me either then I noticed that the file copies as ************nbh.nbh and that's not right!

When renamed in root of SD card the .nbh extension is lost and so bootloader can't recognise the file as an appropriate one for flashing and then the process sticks at that point.

Successfully flashed over USB with Custom RUU though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sebastianmc:
Is it the best radio?

hi folks! is it the best radio so far? about battery life...?

bye :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ardsar:
battery life appears good, however a few of us, including me have static noise when someone speaks on 2.07 and 2.08 radio's.

I've flashed different ROMs (after falshing stock) but still have this problem. Many are reporting good quality, so i dont know whats going on....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sebastianmc:
what a strange.... maybe your operator is the problem...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Radeon123:
This new 2.08 radio for me on o2 UK is way better on battery life than the other 2.08.50.05 radio, with the old 2.08 I lost 7-8% from a 100% charge during 8hrs (this was repeatable everytime) while checking my mail automatically every 2hrs, weather updated every 1 hour and stocks auto updated every 4hrs.

With the new 2.08 I only lost 2% during the same time and with all the same data settings as before, very impressed :D

I live in a low signal area so battery consumptions is going to be more because it looses signal every now and then so I'm very happy with this 2.08.50.08_2 radio.

GPS works perfectly and average 8-10 sats in and outdoors, WiFi, Bluetooth and phone functions all work brilliantly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bm150:
LOVE IT

Left house 630 in morning with fully charged. just got in from work(1730).

97% bat.

Unbelievable ??? email sync and weather every half hour blue tooth on all the time! GPS takes a little longer to lock on, but battery life make this insignificant!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] traianescu:
I don't understand, the battery looses 97% or 3%. 4% usually drains my battery over night, when i don't touch it at all (no bt, no other sync) :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] farahbolsey:
Hi,

really bad sound too with french SFR. the workaround I found to use 2.08 radios is to relplace oemdriver and OEMDriversHigh with 2.02 ones.

Hope future radios will work fine.

Franck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ardsar:
can you provide more detail and a link to these files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] farahbolsey:
just cooked my rom with T-Mobile 2.07 as a kitchen base in which I've switched OEMDrivers and OEMDriversHigh (2.07 Kicthen>COMMON>OEM>OEMDrivers and OEMDriversHigh) with OEMDrivers and OEMDriversHigh from T-Mobile 2.02. no biggy.

So, I wonder if the radio is responsable of the bad sound, or some in the OEM drivers like Ril, or both??

Franck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] simone929:
With this radio I have seen that at the end of a call the phone is disconnected, for a few seconds, from SGSN node as the "E" near the signal bar becomes an "x".

Nobody else with this issue?

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Teejoo:
Radio looks very good, with definetely improved signal reception. I even get HSDPA in my study, where I normally have 1-2 bars 3G. 3G has full signal strengt. Can't say anyting about batterylife yet.

I'm using Dutty rom 1.8

However, I also noticed I get a small description (like cloudy and hard wind) about the weather forecast on the home screen, next to the small weather animation. There is also a hyperlink for more info to the online weathersite in the weatertab. I don't think these where there before. How can this be updated by a radio flash?:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Radeon123:
That's been there since the HD2 launched :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
after 8 hours of calls, photos, videos and web use I still have 42%! first time me to get this kind of battery life.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Teejoo:
Oops, must have been very impressed by the rest of the HD2 not noticing that for 3 months now...:o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tacticman:
Hi,

I don't know if I am alone but I tried this radio version since this morning and everything is ok except incoming calls that often go directly to my voicemail, I had this problem with the first radio version, with v2.07 everything was ok but with v2.08 it becomes like at the beginning. I can say that I use all day along directpush if someone has the same trouble.

thx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
I habe had problems with both 2.08 radios in that I can slightly hear an echo of my own voice when I speak. I am in uk using o2. Anyone else? I am using Ozrom so not sure if the radio and rom are incompatible or if its just the radio. will have to use 2.07 methinks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Radeon123:
Only yesterday after owning the phone for 5 weeks and playing with it for hours at a time I discovered I could view Facebook albums in sense via the album tab, that was handy I thought :)

All is still working great here, have not experienced any issues yet and battery life is still good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
I'm using OzRom too, and I have the same problem. It's not annoying at all, but I can definitely hear my own voice in the speaker. Problem is... I used to have 2.07 radio before flashing 2.08.50.08_2, and I had exactly the same symptom.

Also... I can't get with this radio the same sort of battery duration that other users are experiencing... can it depend on the ROM?

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gregwee:
Does anyone have the MD5 checksum of the exe file from the first post for compare? I just wanted to check before installing to make sure it's all there.

The MD5 Sum I got is: f20c1c65134cfcf3644955aa4d4732f2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tkalli:
Flashed radio and so far so good.

Will see how it does throughout the day.

Using it in Malaysia, for now.

the best radio rom so far!

really guys this is the best one! for the first time my battery drained over night (approx.9h) for only 4% with data transfer on(mails,twits,weather)

I am impressed! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maw:
Can I install this radio running my current ROM? My ROM is listed in my signature.... thanks for the reply! BTW... does anyone know when the official 6.5.3 or 6.6 version is coming out?

THANKS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] grega_slo:
lol after flashing this radio I have only 209MB of memory available.

WTF?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Teejoo:
Update: after some calls I noticed the sound quality has improved a lot. I always heard al lot of distortion just like the speaker was broken, but this looks as good as solved now. For me the best thing about this radio.

Battery life seems also ok, although I have to use it for some days before I can judge on that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] linuxis:
In my case everything fine but in my location sometimes disapears 3G, I see "H" but no bars or changing bars from 0 to all. If i try to call myself when 0 - my phone is unavailable. Next call everything is back.

That happens with both 2.08 versions.

With GSM no problems.

I use Miri 6.5 v3.1. Maybe the rom or rilphone version ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JayVee:
I had similar problems here (O2 Germany) with radio 2.08.50.08_2.

Sometimes it showed '3G', sometimes 'H', with no bars than back to 4 bars, than even switching to 'G'. I tried several ROMs but always the same phenomenon.

But after forcing the phone to connect to 'UMTS' [Phone Settings -> Band -> Band Frequency -> UMTS(2100+900)] and than back to 'Auto' [Phone Settings -> Band -> Band Frequency -> Auto] I now have a stable 3G connection.

No more switches between 3G and 2G even after (Soft)Reset. Hope it will stay like this when I change my current location (from work to home).

Best regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] juiced_belgium:
I've flashed this radio, but after the flash i only have 458.80MB of program memory available and not the 576, am i the only one? or does anyone else have that too?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JayVee:
More information would be helpful e.g. which ROM are you using. It should be al least 2.02 based.

Best regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] juiced_belgium:
I'm using this rom: Miri HD2 WM6.5.X (23529) ROM :: V 3.2

im running miri 6.5. not had an issue. drivers are same from what i believe.

so i think its just you. hard reset might help!!!???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ardsar:
that is correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rest is reserved by the system (grpahics)

radio quality issue

currently using 2.08.50.05, but keep having really bad call quality. I now this is regional of course....

I'm thinking of going back to 2.07 or forward to 2.08.50.08_2. Anyone noticed a change in call quality in 2.08.50.08_2 over 2.08.50.05 ??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] erdoke:
Don't hard reset your device because of that, it's normal that you have 458 MB available for programs from the overall 576 MB. Without the 576 MB hack you have only around 330 MB!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pietrucci:
Don't know, mine drops 10% in a few hours standby... Overnight it dropped from 100% to about 40%!

Will flash the previous 2.08.50.05, see if it's the radio causing the drain...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mikron15:
Hello,

Here's my initial reporting so far...

I flashed the radio from 2.0.8.50.05 to 2.08.50.08_2 and noticed faster drains.

In 2 hours time, mine dropped from 100% to 85% which included, 5 mins surfing, 30mins call, push mail enabled, bluetooth On running Xanny Evo ROM.

On the previous radio, I was averaging about 2%/hr battery drain (based on 50% drain in 24 hrs period) with similar usage.

I'm gonna give it a day or two before i revert back to 2.08.50.05 build
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mehegazy:
Not working

third Radio rom to try that supposed to free up the hidden memory

the available memory for programs stills arround ~ 336 MB only

my phone is hspl, does anyone have any idea of what to do?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
You also need a ROM that supports the hack, such as Dutty's HG v.08, or any of the other fine 576MB ROMs. The Radio alone is not enough.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mehegazy:
Thanks

I'll try that
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jay_9090:
The difference, your ROM Version Cooked or Not and sure his rilphone.dll associate ! :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] runemail:
Running RTT Shock Star WWE, and this is the best battery time I have experienced since Stock 1.66 ROM. Especially in standby where I have very little loss of battery. Maybe im just lucky, or imagining things. No issues after a couple of days. This is a keeper for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] prim3:
Working just fine, no probs so far. See sign for info ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Blubster:
I also think that the battery usage has considerably lowered compared to the previous radio I was using, especially when the phone is in standby.

After one day and a half, with moderate usage of the phone (some wifi routing, some browsing, some mailing...), i still have ~20% left on the battery!

FYI, I am using Artemis 3.0...

Great radio for me! I also had the time issue on first boot, sktsync took care of it... Not a single issue with call quality on the french networks! :)

EDIT : by the way, 3G is always on, i get push mails via WL... :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolape:
managed to get the latest radio however RAM isss definately not 576mb.. is there something im missing?..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] erdoke:
Just the basics and some reading back. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] _X_:
ROFL ... Priceless :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] prim3:
here the RAM definately is 576mb ;) see sign...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] carina77:
I also find the location service being definitely alot more accurate and better...Usually it only shows the "state" of where i am, but for the first time, after flashing this radio, it accurately shows the exact location of the "district" that i'm at...I even double checked by re"flashing" the old 2.08.50.05 & 2.07.50.27_2 but it showed the old "state" as my location. (Just to make sure, in case AccuWeather's database service was updated at the time i flashed this radio ROM)...So, this radio really does make a difference! It's recomended for all folks in Malaysia...:D I'm very happy with this radio!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolape:
Done a search but cant find anything to direct me to getting 576mb on stock rom? I have already installed the HSPL, and the new radio, but still no increase in RAM, I can see that alot of the cooked roms out there saying they have enabled the 576mb ram.. I take it theres nothing you can do on the stock rom to enable this little hack?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] antaed:
+1 same rom, same impressions except:

- battery drains faster than previous 2.06.50.23_3 but i know i have to perform a full recharging cycle first;

- my location doesn't work at all, though it didn't work with the 2.06 either
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] speed200:
No, on the stock rom this radio dont enable the extra memory.

There are a few threads about it, search the forum,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
What do you mean??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dingolino:
Something like that:

(this is not from me, but I kept it for reference)

At least, drain the battery fully and than charge fully for several hours on a charger not via usb computer charging.

dingolino

Battery calibration

That's what I do:

1. Discharge the device. Absolutely.

2. Take out battery to 40-60 sec.

3. Put the battery to the place. Don't switch on the device!

4. Charge the device by normal way (not by usb!) to the full state (green LED).

5. Take out battery again for 40-60 sec.

6. Put the battery to the place.

7. Switch on the device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
It's a bit confusing because several sources state that a full discharge will hurt the battery whereas several sources state that a periodic full discharge is mandatory to calibrate the battery.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dingolino:
Naja - as with many things in life - both is right or wrong depending on how many times you are doing it.

The procedure described is certainly not for "every day" or "every week".

I have done it so far only 1 time.

The statement is true that permanently discharging a li-ion battery is NOT good for the lifetime of the battery (there is a very good web page describing this in detail, but unfortunatly I do not have it at hand right now).

As far as I have understood this procedure it is to make sure that the battery sensor is getting a clean calibration about the battery capacity.

Best regards

dingolino
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PJ6363:
Tried this Radio in Australia on Vodafone and can confirm that battery has been extended....only tested by overnight drain, but appears to be better than my previous radio....

All else same-same to date..........

Overall, a keeper!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] football_fan:
Hi guys, im a pretty new hd2 owner. bout 2wks+ now.. so i just wanted to confirm with u guys n ask.. how exactly do u update the radio? connect via sync center n just run the program? will this just upgrade the radio? will the rest of my stuff on the device get wiped off? (example when we flash new ROMs) sry bout being a total newb lmao. stuff for the Omnia was always easy as pie compared to hd2, but i love my hd2 :) thks everyone

oh btw guys, im in Singapore / Malaysia. just wanna make sure if the radio works fine over here.

UPDATE: got it done successfully, however.. i thought it enables 576mb ram? or was the starter joking bout that too? n not just the ROM. lol
