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.

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!!

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 all,
I am having troubles updating my radio rom. This device has been a beta pre lease.
Current version is:
R: 0.24.00.05 (believe it or not...)
G: 22.23.40.00H
D: 1.56.00.00
I was able to load the kaiser cooked rom (but radio and camara are not working properly). I have Hard SPL for Kaiser loaded.
I've tried many roms, but they all fail at 95% with error [262]. And then I have to reload the cooked rom to get the system working again.
Anyone any suggestions?
Jeroen
do you have a Kaiser?
I don't think that is the correct radio for Kaiser ROMs. If so there may be special stuff cooked into the original ROM, just like the ATT Roms which use a specific radio.
read the sticky regarding radio's.
Yes, I have a Kaiser (loaded S.N.E. cooked rom)

(loaded this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357274)
that is not a Kaiser rom!! I'm surprised you didnt brick your device lol! Make sure your trying to flash a Kaiser RUU_signed.nbh that has only a OS.nb inside and then flash the radio.nb later...
read your reply
the link you provided to the "no evil" rom doesn't mention anywhere in the thread about the radio you are using. where did you get it?
recommended by thread author - radio 1.27.12.17
bought device on ebay
I know the radio is not compatible with the rom. That is why I want to update the radio.
It is just that the radio flash process hangs at 95%.
Best regards,
Jeroen
problem solved
At this location ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/ I found a rom similar to the existing in my device: 0.26.07.06. This one worked, and afther that I was able to flash the version I wanted: 1.27.12.11.
I'm happy. My device is up to date and very quick with Alex's Utra clean rom!
Thanks for listening!
Jeroen
hmmmmmmmmmm
try a hard reset and flash before you customize (upon initial bootup) - maybe???
Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to change the radio of a flashed a rom. I've found some very nice rom's but each one has some flaws. The one I would like to use (Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19209 + 32mb pp) has an issue with the camera which might be solved by changing the radio (If what i've read is correct).
When I flash my device, I tend to use the JUMP SPL (1.56 or 1.93) because I experience what is called "the white screen issue". (you can read everything about this at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061). Hard SPL just won't work.
Questions:
- How to flash only the radio, keeping the selected ROM.
- Can I change the radio using "Jump SPL" or do I need another tool to unlock the device?
- Soms Roms, when using Jump SPL, just won't load. Why? Is there another way around this white screen issue?
- Is there an "idiot-proof" ROM-flashing guide?
Kind regards,
Gert Beckers,
Belgium
With the JumpSPL you should NOT flash radio roms, OS roms or full roms! So, flash HardSPL with JumpSPL to unlock your Kaiser first, then you can go forward to flash radio.
Refer to thread below to select a correct radio:

Thank you for the quick reply. I've read the post you refer to as recently as last night. Based on this, I've selected a suite (I hope) radio. How do I flash this? Jump SPL - > hard SPL and then the radio? Will the rest of the rom survive?
Kind regards,
Gert Beckers

Flashing a new radio will not affect your current ROM load. Do understand that you should make sure that the Radio you are flashing is compatible with the ROM build you are using currently. A good place to look is HERE and HERE. Much thanks to AlltheWay!!
Jump SPL > Hard SPL > Radio
Flash a radio only rom won't change the os rom installed on your device.
search for a thread called the ultimate radio rom by
alltheway
it will give you excellent start up

radio/rom compatibility
dude sspl (jump spl) is not a wise choice... u should have a hardspl installed otherwise u can get bricked pretty easily

Hi,

Try again with a new battery...
So long,
