Since the threads are becoming too long to keep an overview on everything I would like to start a poll on which Radio ROM ist providing the best results.
Specifically there seem to be issues reported for the following:
ROM 1.13: Issues with data network reconnect ("modem not responding")
ROM 1.15: Bluetooth stops working
ROM 1.09: Seemingly stable
Please provide your experiences
BTW: I'm using 1.13 richt now and have the reported issues with the data network not reconnecting.
I use 1.14.10 as 1.15 place where I live cannot provide normal reception. At 1.14.10 there are some problems
1. Suddenly disconnected GPRS
2. 2 second pause at a raising of a tube
3. 2 second pause a release
i moved back to 1.09 wich so far is the most stable without having calls missed.
Radio 1.17.00...?
i saw Mamaich use Radio 1.17 in the Signature....
is that True...?
HTC Universal (PU10, SuperCID)
Rom : latest
Radio : 1.17.00

Using 1.13 data problems
i'm using 1.13 since it passed all test run by jwrightmcps while its rom 2.02.00 WWE.
1st Problemon the whole i do not get low signal problem nor there is any data disconnection while on pda but when using usb modem on pc; it does disconnect data.
2nd problem i feel is that i am unable signin to my Windows Live Messenger till now. it says synchronization error. you may be in low coverage area. ---> and my signals are always full.
3rd Problem i cannot send or receive mms since i stacked my universal with 1.13. it reaches 99% and suddenly the baloon disappears and the message stays in the outbox (unsent) with the status of PENDING on its envelop icon

Using 1.15 and use the bluetooth headset. have yet to experience the not working problem, yet.
however, if bluetooth is not left on, and i were to beam a file using Resco, sometime bluetooth will freeze and a soft reset is required to regain functionality.
hope someone would post the link to radio 1.17 for me to try out
The problem here is that the choice is rather limited in the poll.
I'm using 1.15 but to be honest I don't notice any difference between that or 1.13 or 1.14.1.
I'm based in England, but don't use GPRS or pushemail; maybe that means I'm not au fait with the subtle differences between the versions?
I just think there are too many variables and it is a personal preference?
1.09 is very stable
Hi,
I have tried them all and I get back to 1.09.00
It was the most stable and functional one for me.
Tried the following
1.08
1.09
1.10.03
1.11
1.12 (fixed)
1.13
1.14.10
1.15
So far, I've had problems with all of them, but hell that's just how the uni works
with 1.15 and 1.14.10 I have loss in BT connection along with hanging 3G and missing calls when the device is on.
1.12 is a bit better
Have to try 1.13 again and also 1.10.03
1.09 Still gives me the best result basicaly
haven't tried 1.08 because 1.09 is mostly used and 1.08 seems like a step back
mamaich! Post 1.17 Radio here please
I have used 1.13, 1.14.10 and 1.15 and at the beginning 1.09 but I have one big Problem but don't know if it's with the radio:
I can hear some people very hard (they are too quiet) and the same the other way around. They hear me very hard. Have tried it with the PDAVIET/Darkforce WM6 and Radio 1.14.10 and 1.15. But once I had a WM6 ROM (Think it was Helmi's 1.1) which was VERY LOUD AND CLEAR. Is there an option to turn up the Volume or do I have to try every RADIO backwards?
I agree.
Radio 1.15 is no good. Very unstable. I've lost reception many times, mainly from going in a place with no reception and then back outside. It'll search and search and search and it'll find NOTHING. i have to do a soft reboot in order to get reception again.
I'm gonna try out 1.09, my jasjar came with 1.13

No similar problems with my Radio 1.15, using O2 in the UK. When I'm on the train or the underground and lose the connection, it quickly reconnects once reception is available.

I agree - I'm on T-Mobile, and 1.15 is the BEST of the available ROMs for me (I'm using Helmi's v1.1). The older ROMs generally seem to have better data handling, but poorer voice facilities. v1.15 is fine for voice, and has the most stable data of all the ROMs I've tried (and I've tried them all).
I think it's been said before, but is probably worth repeating; the different radio ROMs seem to give differing results in different territories. The best option is to try them out for yourself, and pick the best one. At least with a radio upgrade there's no hard reset, so you shouldn't lose any data. (Having said this, I tend to get some minor settings changed when I flash, but it's not a big deal to reset them - worth taking a backup if you have the facility).
Cheers,
Steve.

Just got my MDA Compact back from HTC and they put back the Rom from last May.
Funny thing is, I haven't been able to find any advantages to justify me upgrading to 1.13. For a start, rebooting the thing is quicker on 1.12.
Can anyone advise if I am missing something important by not upgrading to 1.13?
Thanks.
Maybe it feels quicker because it is a fresh installation. I doubt there are any speed differences during boot time because the changes since 1.06 are very minor and mostly ExtROM related.
Much quicker boot
I think as part of the "No Bluetooth device found" fix, they added some time to booting. Not sure, can anyone confirm?
Could that be the reason my bluesoleil did NOT found the bluetooth device on the VPA Compact 1.12 rom, and it did find it when i had installed the 1.13 t-mobile rom.
Problem is, all that t-mobile **** is not really helping me out. THe Vodafone PUSH-EMAIL service is not auto connecting etc.
Could I get that bluetooth fixed even when having installed 1.12 in some way?
Rom 1.13 comes with newer battery dll, camera & album. & indeed a BT-fix. Using it for 5 months now & still satisfied with this rom.
@Riel, you can skip all TMO related ext-rom stuff by hard-resetting your device & just before customization (the little pop-up after the message 'now tap the screen
to start using your device') starts you soft-reset again.
Then load the required Orange cabs from your previous rom & you should be fine.
Regards, M
The Hang-up which I experience, could that be a 1.12 problem (when PAN with another s100 with Bluesoleil, it hangs when we start a MP game if pushmanager is installed).
Maybe 1.13 will fix it?
I just ran the get device data and uprade utility of radio rom tytn 1.16 (downloaded from this site/portal only) on my htc magician ( o2 mini with t mobile nl rom ).it shows all the previous rom, radio and ext rom versions plus and at the lower part the new radio version is 1.16 looks like it is upgradeable because BA 1.15 or other versions never went this far also . I just didn't try got little jittery . as it is day day time here in india and if it works or doesn't means loading programs all over again or getting it in the ok shape again with a possible hard reset and i have to go to work with phone and all the functionality . Somebody try and pm me
following is the direct link to download hermes radio 1.16 and it uses the magcian manual upgrade utility image which is included in this only. so here goes
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Extracted_Radio_ROMs/HERM_1.16.0.0_type2_radio.rar
How did it go, anything seem better/worse?
went till about 2% then incompatibility error . i had to flash my earlier rom radio again. earlier I had radio 1.13 radio on tmobile nl 1.13 rom . seemed it made phone warmer and and drain on the battery too. Now I'm going to go with the shipped radio 1.12 with the shipped uk rom .Any thoughts on radio 1.13 i think it was inconsistent . i mean the voice was sharper when there it was then skipped a beat a little after 10 -15 seconds which doesn't make difference in normal conversations on the phone . but it was more prounounced when it was streaming the pocket resco internet radio which breaks the connection and the buffer starts again which is kind on of annoying in my morning or evening jogs/walks and I don't play pre stored mp3 song from sd card as it wiped everything on the sd card after some song sessions . please share your experiences
I've been running 1.13 for a couple of months, and it seems fine. Bluetooth and phone seem pretty good/consistent.
I only ran 1.12 for a week or so, then I saw 1.13, so I can't really compare battery life of the two, but I know 1.13 is doing better then the original ROM, (I think it was 1.06 or 1.10.0)
Please share the experience and comparisions also . and if there is a experience regarding streaming internet radios between radio 1.12 and 1.13. I have already hard reset my phone and not loaded any much programs .Thre is a possibility of flashing again one more time then I'm going to settle for some time .I triead bluetooth A2dp bchs cab installs fine ,someone somewhere I guess modaco.com was that Stereo bluetooth works with only radio 1.13 . but in in shipped 1.122 it shows all the options .I don't stereo bluetooth headset .Going to buy one will somebody help me in giuiding and by answering these above questions
I honestly must say both are almost the same ...but found 1.13 a bit better

you try soft reset your device.
and if "bad radio" show up the screen, you can try update it again or redown new radio file if your file error. normal bootloader is serial/usb.
you can read guide up rom or radio in this forum for magician
Does any of you feel this? Once a while, I can see that the the network operator will change to "Searching" then "Home Network" and then back to my service provider's name. Sometime, it happens when I am receiving a call, and the call will be dropped and will be considered a missed call. The other party will think that my phone ran out of battery as they are directed to the voicemail.
I also have this problem, sometimes when I call out, the ringing tone that I hear is distorted, this is not the speaker problem as even with loudspeaker, the sound its the same, the tone pitch is high and distorted, even when the other party speaks, their voice are distorted and high pitch. It's like when you play a DVD movie with fast speed, the speech becomes "cartoon-ish"
The problem resolves only if I reboot my phone, does this got to do with my phone or the radio ROM?
Even after reflashing the phone with the same original firmware, the problem persist. Another friend of mine using the same phone which he bought together with me complained the same problem at times.
FYI, I am using Dopod 577w installed with AKU2 patch
ROM version : 2.0.11.0
Operator version : 2.5.39.2
Radio version : 4.1.13.15_02.29.01
i get this too
ive put it down to just crap radio rom on the stock aku2 update from vodafone
which one do you get, the line dropping or the distorted sound when calling ?
yea i thought it was just me having this crazy thing going on... the carrier changes to display "HOME SERVICE" the back to its name... tho i never experienced it the call dropping and stuff...
carrier changes just before a call or txt msg
doesnt drop though
Try radio 2.61.01. On my Qtek8310 I install this radio and have no such kind of problem like you have.
I've attached an older radio version. I am using this with rom version 2.0.9.0. The radio that came with that ROM didn't seem to work well (had similar problems to what you describe, and others), at least in the US with Cingular service. This radio, (1.14.00) seems to do quite well. I am trying to extract the radio ROM from the latest cingular 2125 ROM (2.0.13.0), but haven't had any luck.

Radio 1.14.00 - from ROM for what platform did you get it? Maybe it is NOT previous, but NEWER one
By the way - PLEASE, reload this file to other service! iFolder, slil, ets...
What about some of the latest radio ROMS? going backward doesnt seem right ot me
Any stable and good radio rom? What do you guys think about the Radio rom from QTEK -radio 2.61.01
and btw, what's the difference between Operator version and Radio version as in my first post?
Mirror to Radio 01.14.00: http://zlydengl.files-upload.com/217114/radio_01_14_00.rar.html
Works fine! But - still testing
Your link is null
zyldenGL--good question!! I have no idea what ROM it was from originally, but it works great.
karhoe--I tried the link that I posted, and it works.
first of all: sorry for my poor english!
unfortunately I keep on losing some SMSs.
I have changed different ROM (from the NBD 4... up to the 8.2 that currently I have in use, XDA6 in all the releases...) but the problem persists.
sometimes... not frequently (unfortunately always from a person for me very important) I lose the SMSs: the telephone "revives", illuminates the display green and red buttons... but nothing.... SMS=0
(I have called the person that I imagined had written me and has confirmed me)
I have tried the whole radios: 2.69 (good audio...), 2.61...very fast but bad receipt, 2.47 (I thought the best), 2.37 (original of mine k-jam Italian), 2.25 of T-mob and finally the 2.19.. from all declared the best... but with a bad audio according to me.
Any idea?
with a downgrade to WM5 the problems seem to disappear....
Please, help.... i love WM6....
i think its not bcuz of wm6 !
you RESET your phone without any reason ! if you RESET your phone , all incoming data will be lost !
so try shutting down your phone by pressing and holding the power botton and this problem probably will be gone
Tau,
This is a confirmed problem with WM6, if you search around you'll find the T-Mobile Radio ROM and CIngular Radio ROM threads where people outline some of the issues they've been having and the fixes they've tried and gotten to either work or fail. I'd just reccomend either switching back to AKU 3.3 or just keep trying different radios.
That's a radio issue, the only ones that seem to work consistently is Farias version of 2.69 or 2.19. The non faria version of 2.69 still seems to have that problem, at least for me it did.
thanks...i'll try faria's one

No problem. The easiest way to figure out if a radio is going to work for you is to hook your phone up to activesync and then call yourself or text yourself while it's connected. If the the send and end lights come on but you don't recieve the call or sms it's time to flash a different radio rom. Call yourself or text yourself a few times to make sure because you may just get lucky and it recieves the call or sms the first time or 2.
My TYTN II has been flashed to Dutty WM 6.1 & Radio 1.64, but I can't get my GPS working.
Previous ROM was Schap 4.30 & Radio 1.27, with those my GPS working fine.
I wonder wheter it's WM 6.1 bug or Radio for WM 6.1 bug.
I've tried GPS Tool & it's said invalid GPS data.
I live in Indonesia, SE Asia.
Anyone has same problem ??
Read before posting issues. First of all you need a compatiable radio for 6.1 which is listed dutty's post. First install the radio then hard reset then install dutty's rom then hard reset. All the problem will be solved.

From what I can see, he is using a 6.1 radio.
1.64.06.04
1.64.08.21
Are both 6.1 Radios. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I don't think its the radio. What options are you using in GPS Tool? And did you try running QuickGPS first?
Heres the quoted instructions from Dutty's 6.1 thread:
duttythroy said:
To make sure you properly get a GPS signal. First run Quick GPS.
Start > Programs > System Tool > QuickGPS
Hit download and when it’s done it ok
Now run GPS Tool
Start > Programs > System Tools > GPSTool
Click Open and then click start.
Click on the Satellite tab and wait till the bars turn green once this happens you will have a GPS fix.
*You can also verify the this by clicking the information tab and wait till you have a Latitude and Longitude fix:
Now you can use your GPS software.

Try to go back to radio 1.27.xx.xx!
possible the new 1.64.xx.xx have NV item 143 set to 11
If GPS work on your 6.1 Rom with 1.27.xx.xx Radio ... try the modded 1.58.xx.xx Polaris Radios!
i have the same problem with gps, also igo gps program locking when it found the port 4, it is awful, i hate the 6.1 also last radio

I thought 6.1 won't run on a 1.27.xx.xx Radio, or at least thats what I was lead to believe when reading through the threads (could be wrong), or are they backwards compatible but not forwards compatible?(i.e. 6.0 on a 1.64 radio). *shrug*
I agree with Netrunner though and just try one of the Polaris Radios, which is what I plan on doing when I get home because of the reported successes people have been having. Not sure why you're getting invalid GPS data, what settings are you using in GPS Tool and what other apps do you have running?
Use 1.64.08.21 best radio for 6.1 for bettery performence and gps here is the linkftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21_CustomRUU.rar

i'm using Duttys WM6.1 5.2.19716
Radio 1.58.26.20
GPSTest keep saying GPS Starting up and GPSTool saying Fix not available.
I'm in Brasil.
Will try to get another radio.
Is it important to update the radio before the rom?
[]'s
I found its good updating radio then flash the rom. Lots of problem get fixed.
Go to settings, connections, External GPS Settings, go to Hardware, choose COM4, Baud rate 57600, then go to Programs, choose your preferred GPS program port (I used COM1), click OK.
Run GPS tools, try open COM1, see if it will work.
This is only a temperary solution, for some reason the COM port in the hardware tab will be automatically reset to (none). I still don't know how to make it stay that way. Anybody can help?

Me, too. But after i flashed the radio with polaris 1.58.21.23 one, now the gps is perfect. Try it!
Yeah, interesting. My GPS also doesnt' work properly with 6.1 ROMs. Tried the 1.64's and de Polaris one, they take waaay too long to get a fix, even if there are many satellites available. Will try to flash a radio first then flashing a ROM, as stated in a few post above.
I've tried Radio 1.64.06 & 1.64.08, but GPS still not working.
Radio 1.27 & WM 6.1 will give me No Sounds at all.
I've hard reset after each flashing, run Quick GPS to download data, but still no go.
Will try : Radio 1.58 & changing COM port.
Just came across this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1912053&postcount=410
Maybe QuickGPS is not getting the Regional Settings properly and we have to manually adjust it.
It would also explain why some people doesn't have this issue, maybe the 'default' QuickGPS contains specific information to their region, like places "near" the Greenwich meridian, and obviously on the Nothern Hemisphere. At least I suppose that's what it[QuickGPS] does, update some data that help the GPS receive the ephemeris.
Since I live in South America, it would take a little longer for my GPS to get a fix if he thinks he is somewhere in Europe.

That makes a lot of sense.
I just flashed Dutty's 6.1 with the 1.58 Radio.
At first I thought the GPS was not working ... it took endless minutes before it finally got a fix.
I did see lots of red "satellites" on the GPSTool - Satellite tab.
Just took forever the first time to get a fix.
how i fixed my gps
I have the tilt plus Sleuth 3 (WM6.1). My gps did not work (couldn't find any satellites) with the WM6.1 compatible radio .23, so I decided to try another radio. Alltheway uses .14 and has an Oakland Raiders avatar so I figured since I am in the SF Bay I should try that one first. Bingo, problem solved. Short of it is, just try all the radios to exclude the simplest solution first. There are only 5 or so. I love this site.....its seriously impeding my productivity.
mine ok. but little bit slow to get fix. try use gpsgate.
Cooked ROM based on Vodafone WM 6.1 ROM will take forever to get a GPS fix regardless of the Radio. The only way to get it to work quicker is to run QuickGPS and download the newest data everytime you run your GPS.
Cooked ROM based on the older HTC WM 6.1 ROM is better i getting a GPS fix. At least that is the case for me.
After virtually a whole day re flashing ROMS I think I have now reached a definitive answer to this problem of dodgy GPS performance. I have had the same issues myself getting reliable and quick satellite fixes for my GPS enabled programs. Usually having to resort to launching GPSTools in order for a fix to be established. No more. After reading that re flashing the ROMs could be the answer I backed up the main memory using Sprite Backup, HARD RESET my device then re flashed Radio v1.64.08.21. I then HARD RESET and re flashed Dutty's WM6.1 UC version ROM. As soon as the configuration message appeared I HARD RESET again. I then reinstalled my backup and ran QuickGPS. My GPS performance was faultless Not satisfied with this I did the whole procedure again but this time I tried the Polaris Radio v1.58.21.23 as I had been reading some good reports about it but when I came to test my GPS I couldn't get a fix. I then went through the whole process again using Polaris radio v1.58.25.14. Again this has been reported as having a low battery drain and good reception. The GPS again worked flawlessly.
So there you have it, get backing up, HARD RESETTING, re flashing the radio (v1.58.25.14 or v1.64.08.21), HARD RESETTING, re flashing the main ROM, HARD RESETTING then re reinstalling the backup image.
Let me know how you got on!
