Sorry if this is a real [email protected] question but I want to upgrade my (MDA Compact alike) Orange M500 but only the radio version is this possible? I can't seem to find a procedure on how to do this.
1. decompress the rom file(it's a exe) with Winrar.
2.U will find 3 nbf file.
3. remove 2 of them EXCEPT the radio).nbf
4. perform the update
Thank you for your response! already thought so but just wanted to be sure! thanks again!
AFAIK this is not possible.
The only optional part during an upgrade is the Extended ROM for a Himalya (dont know the effects for Magician).
If you only supply the radio nbf, you will end up with a non-functionin device.
@edsub: You're wrong in case of the Magician.
@rvbcrs: Do as jackleung said - it will work flawlessly, because I did this myself already.
Also, if you upgrade/downgrade radio only, it will not erase your "big-storage" ROM!!

thks for the tip, indeed the bigstorage ROM remains after radio 'only' upgrade.
Just upgraded to (Qtek) radio 1.12, although haven.t seen any differences with 1.11.
thks
what exactly is the radio used for?
reallly stoopid questions.. but
what exactly is this radio ROM used for?
is it as it's name suggest.. can i get radio fm/am from this?
Radio upgrade
Has anyone tried the 1.13 radio upgrade?
i upgraded last night, did a single radio upgrade with out upgrading the system rom.

Folks, is it possible to to flash the radio from the excalibur onto a tornado ? I've extracted the radio from the nbh but just wondering what to do next or whether its worth trying this ?
i dont mean to be rude, but, is there something wrong with you?!
you risk killing your phone by flashing ANY part of a rom to one which is not designed for your phone! just play it safe and keep it to tornado only updates! as far as i know, there isnt any way to fix a corrupted radio rom update.

No.
That was easy, wasn't it?
IMHO previous ones were wrong If YOU want to make an experiment and if you UNDERSTAND, that this can corrupt your device - than you of course can! I know situation when Tornado user flashed RADIO from communicator, by using COMMUNICATOR flashing software No troubles, everything, that was to be done - is to flash radio by means of Tornado flasher - and everything was OK!
I.e. - in one thread user post link to Radio 1.20.00 - number is NOT Tornado Radio one, am I right? Still, this radio works perfectly on my Qtek 8300
So I think that the main point - is to use Tornado Flasher to flash any part of our devices. If you don't play with IPL/SPL - everything IMHO may be undone safely!
Good luck! And please, share us link to Excalibur Radio
Aha, this i link to post with radio 1.20.00 updater

Whats the RIL version of your Tornado and Excalibur? if they're both 2.002 then it may be OK to flash, same with the vox etc... Just as long as you have it in the proper NBF format required by the tornado...
However it'd be best to run the following command via mtty first:
Code:
r2sd GSMDATA
This will backup your IMEI and radio tuning etc in the event of it all going horribly wrong.
If it does go wrong, reflash a tornado radio, then reflash your GSMDATA from the card backup you took.

Does anybody has this Radio-Rom and could send me, or post ist?

You can't dump the radio image from the device, it must be stripped from an operator released upgrade utility.
I have the Radio 1.27.12.32 on my phone. I bought it in Germany.
If there is a possibility to extract it, I will do...
I also have this radio ROM, got the TyTN II from expansys today.
Any possibility of getting this Radio? Would like to try it out.
Ok I quite the newbie so I hope you can bear with what might be a stupid question. First let me say that I love this site and all you guys are great. I use a Mac with OS X so there is no way I can run some of the tools recommended for ROM stuff.
I would however like to take my TyTN II from radio 1.27.12.11 to 1.27.12.17.
I downloaded from http://www.cinetsystems.com/ the KAIS_Radinly_1.27.12.17_CustomRUU.rar, and it expands into an RUU_signed.nbh and a CustomRUU.exe . All I have to do is run the .exe to flash the radio? It will not wipe out the data on my device? Do I need to copy both files to the TyTN II or is the .exe self contained?

HALT Noob. Read the rom upgrading instructions first. You must first load "Hard SPL" which will protect you from bricking your phone and allow flashing roms. You need a functional active sync connection to the phone to do this. XP is best, Vista works as well.
After this is done, then yes you would simply extract the two files into a folder and run the exe file. It would then flash the radio only and not effect any of your files or operating system.
Flashing radios takes about 5 minutes when all goes well.
There is a Russian version which includes this Radio

Thanks! So we have a choice to flash this radio on our device!
Ok, I've downloaded and extracted the ROM. 4 files,
00_Unknown.nb
01_SPL.nb
02_MainSplash.nb
03_OS.nb
was expecting to see a 05_GSM.nb but as 00_Unknown.nb was the correct size (16.7Mb) I've used that one and packaged it.
Try it here...

Hi guys anyone could recommend radio working in czech republic with no missed calls. I am uctaly using Radio 2.19.11 which seemed to be the best for most people here but not for me. I used it with many ROMs and i can still report missing calls and on TNT 19199 missing sms as well. I tried to fing Radio 2.71 but with no success. All download links are dead I would apreciate any recommendations from anyone here
Is it ok to flash only radio to G4 device. I mean to make nk.nbf file with just radio image? thanks for help...
You should try with TNT 19199 v.2 and radio 2.69. I used and didn't meet miss call problems.
Actually i am using S.V.I. 19209 Back in Black. You have a link for ROM 2.69 ?
I have radio version 2.69.11 and no problems. I move in Jihočeský kraj and Vysočina, Prague, Brno. ROM i have TNT 19999 V2 . Verzi 2.69.11 mohu poskytnout.

Check the XDA-Wiki,you'll find all the radio Roms listed there for download.
Secondly,you don't have to make nk.nbf file with just radio image for flashing a Radio Rom,it comes as a self installing package with its own RUU just like a Rom (OS),as it doesn't include any IPL/SPL(Bootloaders) in it,its absolutely safe to flash to any device,G3 or G4.Just hook up the phone with pc via usb and run the RUU in the Radio Rom,it'll start to flash and wud hardly take a minute or so.

Thanks for the upload. I have updated, haven't noticed any changes.
Thanks a lot, I've updated it!
thank you!
If i press FLASH.exe, does it rewrite the rom over my 6.1 ROM?
Or will it just flash the radio(nothing else)?
It will just flash the radio, don't worry
Mine says it's corrupt. Running flash.exe from windows.
I reverted back to Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90.
I had some issue making calls and receiving them.
I also noticed 2 calls I received did not connect for some reason. I'm not in my home country so it might have been a network/roaming issue - but I'll be going back to .54 also Is it possible to flash RADIO from SD? I should simply be able to rename to vox0img.nbh and get into bootloader to do so, si?
Tnx.
No problem here.
is it only for uk or can be used in any country? (i am in india)
also, how can i backup my old radio in case anything goes wrong?

That should work without a problem!
whats this do? Vox doesnt have a radio :s
by "RADIO" people here are discussing about the portion of the firmware which handles the tx/rx hardware of the vox...and not about the FM/AM radio.
again, what does it do?
the "radio" is responsible for making and receiving calls. its the basic piece that makes your phone, a phone.
it updates the firmware of the GSM radio module which is responsible for making GSM/GPRS calls/messages.

Hi,
is your battery ok? I've just the same problem to flash a radio... the battery seams OK, but it's too old. I've inserted a new one from my other xda mini, and the flash works well.
Try again with a new battery...
So long,
MrFX
