Upgrading to the newest ROM but which one ?

I got Jam and running 1.12.00 WWE ROM and 1.12.10 Radio 1.12.128 ExtROM . Last weeks i have tried to install BRS and i have succeeded but after a while i decided to original shipped ROM ( mentioned above ). Right after all these changings, my device started to fail getting SMS messages ( but sending without any problem ), i think while these tunings something went wrong or something and it caused this problem ( certainly its not about my SIM card or of its settings ). So here is my question : i wanna upgrade my device to the newest shipped ROM as well as the newest Radio vers. , in order to fulfill my aim what files ( i mean which ROM and Radio version and other needed apps etc. ) do i have to have and may i get them from xda ftp ? And my last request from you dear Masters, can this upgrade manage to solve my SMS problem ? This situation is getting very important for me day by day, its itching my brain every moment.

i dont think your sms problem is caused by the ROM. i did use 1.12, and had no sms problem like yours. now im using 1.13 rom and radio (but no ext rom), which i believe are the latest for magician at the moment. find them on the FTP. thanks

O2 Settings
Hi,
I've just upgraded to the O2 Big Storage Rom (WWE_O2_1.12.00.zip from the FTP), I was expecting (probably naiively) to have all the O2 settings etc to be installed as well.
There's no O2 customisation whatsoever and I don't even have the option for MMS in my messaging Folder.
Is there any way to just get the latest O2 Mini Rom?
Or to at least get the settings - i'm assuming that they all come from the extended rom? If so, how should I go about installing that?
I have searched and there's so much going on, it all gets a bit daunting.
Thank you for your help in advance

Does GPRS work for you on WM6?

Ok, simple really, answer the poll and if GPRS DOES work for you post your EXACT radio version and network provider and IE connection settings as a reply below

Working after upgrading to radio version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01.
Ukrainian provider UMC.

hmm everything is clear now .
People with radio 4.1 have working GPRS (edge too? )
and with 4.0 not.
How do I upgrade my radio? Should I flash a rom with radio and then come back to WM6 or somehow separately?

Just flash a rom with radio after flashing WM6.

and then go back to WM6..? could you please point me to rom with right radio? and my device (SPV C600) is rather Qtek 8300 or 8310?

I'll package radio version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 with the update in about an hour.
Will update the first post when I've updated it
Phil

You mean a Tornado WM6 Rom with better radio? Cool!
will i have to do once more to format binfs via teraterm? and then run ruu?

You can actually just upgrade the radio ROM, it wont affect your WM6 OS

jm012a9749 said that it will be available in an hour

but i understand that he pack radio update with entire rom and i want only radio update

You can find it in this forum, search the Tornado thread, few pages back, I just searched for it yesterday. I am only afraid the link to the radio is down due to inactivity. Well, downloading a 30-40MB file which he packed wouldn't take that long right?

I'm posting an updated ROM with it which should address the Audio issues people are experiencing, also some cabs for T9, Comm manager, Task manager and clear storage. So it IS worth flashing the entire ROM again.

After update GPRS works ;]

my mobile operator is Orange Romania, radio version is 4.1.xx,and my gprs connection it's working.

KPN netherlands.

Working on Orange and TMob UK, albeit with the GPRS/Voicemail problems described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1381997&highlight=gprs#post1381997

can someone help me set up my gprs settings for o2. i dont know what my access points are etc.

Warning! Update Radio Version before using newer WM6 roms

Just as a warning to all, I had the original WM6 rom release (not sure what version # that was) operating fine on my PP6700 from Sprint.
I decided to upgrade to the latest release to find that the signal would drop every 40-60 seconds, whether in data or voice.
After lots of panic and much testing I realized that I had an old radio version on my phone (R 1.12.00), which was giving me all my grief.
To correct this, visit http://www.utstar.com/pcd/ to get the latest version of the correct carriers ROM (for verizon users you will have to downgrade your bootloader again re-flash the WM6 rom). The newest ROM will have the latest Radio rom. My radio version is now 1.27.00.
From there, hard reset, download and install the latest wm6 rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325880.
Hard reset again and enjoy a working phone/data device!

errrr, I upgraded to VZW's latest radio/aku and have radio version 1.43.......and bootloader 1.04v. I've never heard of 1.27.00
PS and thats not the latest WM6 rom, this is- http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11074 dated Nov 17th, 2007

Well, I installed WM6 several weeks ago and I still have the 1.03 Radio Version on my PPC-6700 phone and have no problems.

I am using Sprint, not VZW. Could be a reason for the radio difference.
It was weird, I had a previous version of WM6 installed fine, but when I upgraded to a later version I had to upgrade my radio as well to get it to work.
Not sure what the difference in WM6 builds would have triggered this.

Do I need to upgrade the radio ?

I just upgraded everything with Tomals 8.5 the special build.
At this moment the device info indicates the following:
ROM versiion D.08.50.TML WWE
ROM Date: 02/01/08
Radio version: 1.09.00
Protocol version: 42.42.P8
Are there any incompatibilities between these and Tomals last build ?
I can not make phone calls and I had to remove the battery in order to be able to receive calls.
Can anybody tell me if and what I did something wrong ?
Thank you
PS: the phone is T-Mobile MDA Pro

Have you tested with another SIM card?
I don´t get clear about removing the battery?
As far as I know almost any radio is compatible with Tomal ROM´s (I have tested 1.08,1.14,1.15,1.18 without any problem)

I disconnected the battery.
One more strange thing: If I try to access Contacts I get nothing. NADA. The PDA does not take the command.
Apparently whatever is connected with "dial" is not working.
How do I upgrade the radio ?
Thanks a lot

Kaiser (ATT Tilt 1) ROM/Radio question

I was reading the Wiki/FAQ and found this thread and still have some questions on the ROM Radio configuration.
I have a tilt I got from work and the reception is attrocious, so I am under the impression that the ATT ROM and Radio have more affinity for the ATT network than Tmobile (which is my guess because my old Wing had much better signal). What I notice from the list of Kaiser ROMs (on the Wiki) is the only official Tmobile ROMs are for the Netherlands and the UK. My guess is that I wouldn't want to load those since I live in the US, plus the official OS build is 19124 in the ATT tilt instead of 19212 in the other builds.
My question is: Can I mix other Radios to better work on the Tmobile network? Do I need to clear my ROM from the official ATT to another HTC ROM? Does the ROM clear the Windows build so there wouldn't be a compatibility issue, or does it only work for the cell phone service (device communication portion sort of like a DOS on windows 98) and therefore the OS build is independant of the ROM and Radio? Do ROMs and Radios need to be properly paired or can I trial and error it?
I've been looking for some of the answers but the weren't overly appearant from the FAQ and Wikis. Hopefully I didn't gloss over the easy answers somewhere on the site.

Any thoughts? I can start doing the trial and error method, but if I can get some confirmation that I won't brick my phone that would be awesome. Also, if there is any general "method to the madness" in terms of trying the Radios out, I would appreciate it.

This is where you should start:
Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom
The most important consideration for flashing any phone: MAKE SURE YOU HARD SPL (if you are using a Tilt, I recommend 3.56 as that is what AT&T officially used in their last ROM). That way, if you screw up a flash, you can just flash to another radio/ROM without worrying about bricking your phone. Press the Camera+Power button+use your stylus to reset the phone to bootloader to see if your phone is already Hard SPL'd. You should see a 3.28, 3.29, 3.34, or 3.56 at the top left of the screen when the tricolor screen pops up; you can just reset your phone after looking to get back to your OS). If, and only if, your phone is Hard SPL'd, read on...
>Can I mix other Radios to better work on the Tmobile network?
Of course. For example, I am using the emobile radio (1.71.09.01) on my Tilt. See: The Ultimate Radio Thread for more.
>Do I need to clear my ROM from the official ATT to another HTC ROM?
No, you can flash the radio only if you want.
>Does the ROM clear the Windows build
Not if you're flashing just the radio.
>...and therefore the OS build is independant of the ROM and Radio?
The OS build is independent of the radio. Best to think of the ROM as the OS, and the radio as how your OS communicates with your phone...
>or can I trial and error it?
That's the whole point of flashing just the radio--finding which one works best for you.

Thank you for the information. I verified the Hard SPL (3.56) so it looks like I am good on that front.
I just want to verify something you said before I actually do this (since the RUU tutorial told me ROMs can brick my phone and you mentioned Radios are similar in that fashion). The radios listed from the Ultimate ROM/Radio Thread are listed by WMx.x version, not by the associated ROMs. Since I am using the officially released ROM from ATT my version of WM is 6.1, therefore any of the Radios under the 6.1 header are available for flashing to my phone.
Is that correct?
Thanks again and in advance.

Anyone know of a new link for the latest Hard SPL 3.56? I keep on trying to download on rapidshare and I am denied (cause I am a non-subscriber). If there is a mirror that anyone knows of I would appreciate it. I keep searching around and cannot find one.
