T-Mobile Rom or Cingular Rom??

i may sound stupid but i was wondering...
i am using T-Mobiles 2.26 Rom and tmobile has horrible reception @ my work and house i was justing wondering i flash my phone with a cingular rom and than to flash to any other rom like XDA M63 will i have any better reception??? and if so does anyone know where i can download the latest and best cingular rom??

You can find the latest OFFICIAL Cingular ROM on HTC's website. However, you will need to unlock your phone (if it isn't already) in order to flash another Carrier's ROM.
You might just want to try some different radios on the phone and check your reception before flashing a whole different ROM, though. Those can be found in the ftp section.

but in theory would it work?? i dnt want to have to flash me fone for no reason.. u know?? would i be able to use my tmobile service with cingular reception??

I believe what you WANT to be asking is can I flash a cingular RADIO only rom so I can get better reception while using my tmobile rom or XM6R3...the answer is yes..radio rom's are not provider dependent.
I don't think you'd want to run an actual cingular rom on your phone and then use it with tmobile...I suppose you could but you'd have to manually configure your gprs...mms etc.
mfrazzz explains the flashing process in his first post pretty well for XM6r3 but to recap. Flash Tmobile 2.26...flash whatever radio only rom you want..then flash XM6R3.

Just to clarify, you can flash the Radio after you have installed a custom rom like XM6r3 (you don't have to do it in that exact order). I've changed radios numerous times without reflashing the entire rom with no problems (as long as its a radio only rom).

just one more thing.. where can i find cingular radio only roms?? and is there anywhere i can look to see the differnece??

You can find several radio only rom's in mfrazzz's first post (notice how I keep pointing you back to that OVER and OVER?)...you can do a search on XDA to find the difference's in the various rom's but most of the results will be suibjective depending on carrier (tmobile, cingular) and location..your best bet is to try them and see which one works best in your particular situation.

hey, i got a question, where i work i get no reception but a friend with tmobile has full reception, he has a wing on wm6 and i have a hermes. is there anyway to get into the tmobile reception while im at work? like a progrtam?

Why don't you go and ask him what radio rom he's using.
It should show up in the 'device information' area of your settings folder.

Lets not forget that tower location for each carrier will play a big part in how good your signal is. Where you work there may be a T-Mo tower fairly close by giving your friend a great signal but on the edge of the coverage area for your carrier which is why you have no reception. You can change radio roms all day long and maybe see a little improvement, but it won't put you onto the T-Mo network (unless you can configure your phone to roam on the T-Mo network). I've got the reverse situation where I work; T-Mo gets no signal but US Cellular and Verizon both get decent strength.

Best radio rom for T-Mobile USA

What is the best radio rom to T-mobile USA which will eliminate missed and dropped calls and provide better call reception?
2.26.11 T-mbile radio rom
02.19.11 UK w/XDA Cingular WM6 Radio Fix2.cab
Additionally, can you flash either rom after installing TNT 5.0 Touchflo outright?
Can somebody post the roms for each radio listed above on this thread?
Thanks.....

I use 2.69.11. You can flash it after TNT5.0 as the flash only modifies the radio rom.
The installer is on the xda FTP site under /Wizard/Radio_Roms/ as "faria 02.69.11.rar"

radio rom question
technobluff--
You will probably need to experiment to see which radio will offer you the best reception, no-missed-calls, etc.
Yes, you can flash the radio rom of your choice after flashing your PPC with whatever flavor of WM6.
Mfrazzz has all of the radio roms that you asked for here in post #2

Is the Cingular 2.25.11 radio in the above post the same as the US T-Mo 2.25.11? I want to try at that 2.69 radio but want to make sure I can easily get back to my T-Mo 2.25.11 if start having problems with it.

I Did Try 2.69 But It Eating Your Battery Very Fast , 2.6.11 The Best For What I Seen , Been Using It For 6 Months

Why use the UK 2.19?

Or other way around.

Not a bad radio but I experience missed calls and there are no notifications at all letting you know there were calls or messages or voicemail at all.
I reccomend T-Mobile 2.19.11 UK Radio with cingular radio fix 2 patch.

tmobile site
Thats for the entire rom. I was also looking for just the radio rom portion

Anybody running the 2.61 radio rom for Tmobile? What is your experience on missed calls and reception?

I'm tellin you, you want to use the 2.19.11 UK radio plus the cingular radio fix2. I have tried every radio mentioned in this thread in the pursuit of resolution to the missed call and bad reception problems and finally found it with the 2.19.11 radio.
I have attached the radio and the patch.
You should give it a try.(IMHO)
Instructions:
create new folder and extract both zips to that folder
Run RUU and phone will reboot itself
You now have 2.19.11 UK Radio
Now copy the attached cab to your device and install the cab.
Soft reset and youre good to go.

thank you for the straight up install answer.
I went ahead and did it.
I am soft resetting as we speak
how can I confirm that it worked?
Thnx!!

You will just notice a considerable spike in your reception where you already had decent reception and also places where you had no service before, you see that you have enough of a signal to make a phone call or send a text.
For example, when I am at home, I always have reception with the original radio, but with the 2.19.11 radio I have full signal in my basement.
When I would go to my girlfriend's friends house out in the middle of nowhere, I had no signal at all with any other radio, but with the 2.19.11 radio, I have 2 bars and can still call and text freely. It's funny because my girlfriend who also has t-mobile has no signal at all on her razr out there... lol

What's the best IPL/SPL/Radio for Cingular 8125?

What's the best IPL/SPL/Radio combination to be using on a G3 Cingular (AT&T) 8125 in America with a TNT.1933 rom?
Right Now I'm using IPL/SPL 3.08 and Radio 2.69.11.

it depends on your area.
Different radio roms will work better in different places.
Some people swear by 2.69, some don't. 2.19 is the most stable when it comes to radio roms. You might loose a little signal, but all of your calls will come in.

I have been using 2.69 for the past two days and missing calls like never before... back to 2.19 for me

I used to have a lot of missed call problems with different roms. Now I have been using radio 2.69 & Cingular radio fix2 with XM6rc5 with a great success. No missed call so far.

I'm using 3.08/3.08 and 2.69.11.. not having any issues.. I'm on cingular/att in the north san diego area.

3.08/3.08 and 2.19.11uk radio for me, been working pretty good. I don't run that cingular radio cab, whatever the hell its supposed to do. I tried it once, all it did was screwup my network tab, screw that, works fine without it.

Its a matter of trial an error. I recently updated to 1.27.12.17 and it seems to be ok. The main issue most people are upgrading or changing is battery life and reception. If you aren't having an issue with either, I would leave it...

do you guys happen to know the stock radio version for tmobile wing? and will it work for the tilt? im having reception problems

T-Mobile wing is not the same as the AT&T Tilt.

Forget best ROM...info on Radio??

So I know that ROM choice is a matter of preference...but what about Radio version?
I assume (haven't tried i yet) that the ROM is flashed separately from the radio (as it was on my 6700)?
Is there a good post somewhere regarding the pros and cons of each radio version? I could not find one...
Should I assume that the latest version is the best, and if so...what is the latest and where do I find it? (again list of all radio versions would be nice if anyone has a link to thread)?
I have a Tilt BTW with AT&T...so if there is a particular version superior for my service that info is appreciated.
Thanks again!

yeah right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282

Unfortunately, it isn't as simple as: The latest Radio is the best. It also isn't as simple as: A particular version works best with the Kaiser. Another factor to take into account will be your location, as the radio will determine what kind of signal you get when using your phone/GPS/GPRS/etc. Your best option is to try each of them out and see which one is best for you, i.e:
Which seems gives you the best signal?
Which seems to give you the best Battery Life?
As it seems you're new to the Kaiser, you should know that nothing is as straight forward as it seems

I'm using 1.65.14.06, but I am not sure which other ROMs it may be compatible with. At the time that NoThrills released his 6.1 ROM, it would only work with his because part of it is OS Version dependent.

No. This radio requires a WM 6.1 ROM and AT&T has yet to release their official upgrade from 6.0. HTC just released their versions yesterday, so AT&T will probably have something within a week or two.

For all of you who don't have an H, only a 3G. Make sure you've enabled HSDPA. The simplest way is to install "kaisertweak." You should all be useing it anyway because it's such a great tool.

"H" means HSDPA (2nd Generation after GPRS), "3G" means UMTS, (3rd Generation), i think so...
Because ive a "H" with my non UMTS-compatible, and a "3G" with my UMTS-Compatible phones...only a idea...

I'm running Dutty's Apr29v2 with the 1.64.08.21 radio and I have 3G and H signal in Santa Ana, CA... I also tried the Niki radio, 1.58.16.27 and had great service w/ 3g & H. Battery life is a little better with the 1.64.08.21 from what I saw but gonna go back and try that radio again soon... Let you know...

For what it's worth, the stock tilt ROM never gave me the "H" icon- it always said 3G no matter where I was
