I have a G4 Cingular 8125, with AT&T service and I seem to be getting a lot of the commonly mentioned issues with WM6 (TNT 1937). I get a lot of dropped calls, and a lot of missed calls.
I have a few questions as far as this goes. First of all, can I flash a radio to a G4 device? From what I've read it's only the IPL and the SPL that I can't flash... Also, what seems to be the best radio that most commonly doesn't have issues, and how do I go about flashing it?
I appologize if this is a repeated thread; I did try looking for info but I couldn't find much specific to the G4 device.
Any help would be appreciated!

YUP !
You can flash any Radio Rom to a G4 device as it does not include any IPL/SPL, Just run the Radio-only RUU directly and you're done.
Well the choice is all on user's experience.Some are happy with some while others are not,but the most stable and mostly recommended is the Radio 02.19.11.better try a couple of them and check which better suits you
Cheers
Great! I'll try this asap. Thanks very much for the feedback, and for not criticizing my potentially silly question!

I have a Qtek 9100 with wm5, when I start it up it reads:
Ipl 2.17.0001
Spl 2.17.0001
Gsm 02.07.10
Os 2.17.7.2
I would like to upgrade it to WM6 and maybe add some of the new features of the HTC touch. I love the wizard and refuse to give up the keyboard but would like to have some of the functionality of the touch. I can hack a pc just fine but have never messed around on a mobile before. I do not want to brick this thing. I have PHM registry editor installed on my wizard. I was hoping someone had a clear cut answer on how to upgrade my device to WM6 and install some cool apps along the way. I love reading the many posts on this great site, I have learned alot. If anyone can help out this newbie I would be forever grateful.

Thanks for the reply, I have determined that I have G4 unlocked model. Now the next question that I have is do I need to upgrade my existing rom before installing a WM6 rom. If not do you have any suggestions on which WM6 rom to install?
Did you mean CID Unlocked G4? If you are not sure then look for shell tool and follow some others in G4 forum.
I checked and it is CID unlocked, so my next question is which WM6 rom should I use? Does anyone know if the new "touch" applications will work on a g4 model? I have searched through the G4 postings and I have not found anything on this.
My idea

But I don't know if it's working on G4 wiz....

G3 and G4 have nothing different apart from the boot chip. So it should work (I may be wrong but you can safely give a try).

Read the wiki
Don't remember who shared this, but I thought it would be appropriate here:
The members of this forum are advanced users, and they are expecting this from other members too. Thus if you don't want to lose your face in front of the other members, I suggest you try to solve your problems yourself first, and then search on this forum and even on the whole internet, and if then you still couldn't solve your problem, the link 'Post reply' or the link 'New thread' on this forum are there for you...So you will be sure that the problem you couldn't solve, isn't just something explained before and other members of this forum won't laugh at you...
The members with very high post count will not always be able to help you out in the best way...It is very easy to post hundreds of replies every day, but it's much harder to post so many useful replies! Sometimes you will see a thread becoming very long, thanks to some users willing to thank someone over hundreds of time. Of course, it is very polite to thank someone that helped you out, but you will see that all those thank you and other useless post are making it very hard for you and other members to find the posts that really will help you out of your little problem...So, an other suggestion for you is that you only post what really matters, that way, you will very soon be so popular in this forum and on any other forum that you might get famous by a lot of people and a lot of people might even remember you every time they are using their Pocket PC...wouldn't that be great??!
So, now you got a little introduction to this forum I'm sure you will find out your way and make it to the 'Search' button just on top of every page on this forum. Then, a new world will open for you, you will be able to find tons of information, more than ten or twenty thread are just on the subject what you where asking for and you will see that while you are searching, you will very soon get a little frustrated to find more than ten times exactly the same instructions to solve your problem. I am sure, very soon we will see some replies from you asking other members to just use that little search link before posting a question that was solved ten times before on this forum...
Have a nice day, we hope you will be able to help us out too if we got some problem that you might be able to solve!!
Hi everyone
im a newbie here
ok basically heres what has happened
I had the Orange Uk Rom on my htc tytn2 which comes as standard from orange (iv had 2 replacements) lol
so i stayed away from installing a new rom or installing any new programs
So Today i installed The Mobile Vista rom by "Confused Stu"
I tried the media player which seems to not work, then i thought id test the incoming call ringtones and see if that works
I then thought its maybe my radio, so i installed Dutty's Official wm6.1 ROM
still hasnt solved the problem!!!
HEEELLPPPPPPP pleaseeee
Hey flamebait, watch this and read the ROM Upgrading troubleshooting section on the wiki. If I had a dollar for each one of these threads... *SIGH*
Did you do a reset soft or hard?
Also, you might try to reinstall the radio that is compatible. This has happened to me before and I installed the same radio that was in there and it fixed the problem for me.
His problem is that he has a Orange UK service. He'll need to read the radio thread to find out more info. Let's just leave him at that.
There is yet *ANOTHER* thread about this too... *SIGH*
ok iv installed the Original ORANGE UK ROM
the sound thingy is ok now working perfect
i want to install Dutty's Offical WM6.1
i have the following radio: 1.27.14.32
which radio is compatible with this rom???
Thanks Guys

can anyone please let me know which radio or above i need to use Dutty's Offical wm6.1 rom????
_ALEX_ you're starting to sound like me. Calm down, take a deep breath and have a xanax. Those and a big jug of whiskey are the only things that seem to get me thru these threads at times. It will be ok, until 2 minutes from now when another damn thread with the same question will be started. Grin, sometimes it helps, sometimes it just makes it worse.

See...you have to get their attention when they don't actually notice the huge one color text telling them where to get the information they so desperately want. I think it has to do with a lobotomy side-effect.

I understand completely. You need not explain to me. I was just jabbing at you to try and make you grin.
Although I have been enjoying the pretty colors, as I'm sure you will agree this thread serves little purpose. The place to find the answer has been given here and many other places, so time to close the thread.

Hi Gang,
I did some searching and reading but I'm still missing a few crucial pieces. I need to exchange my AT&T Tilt and as such I need to remove HardSPL and reload the lastest AT&T Rom. According to the articles I read on the site, I need to:
Download the IPL/SPL based on your device and carrier
Where can I get the IPL/SPL for the AT&T Tilt?
I assume when everything is all said and done, the "Smart Mobility" followed by the "HTC Logo" startup screen will be reverted back to the AT&T and loud ass 3G rocket sounds?
Thanks for the help!
JP
ha, i just loaded the rom....removing the hardspl is possible but very tedious.

you should be able to just flash the new HTC ROM update. no muss, no fuss.
Could someone have a look over what im planning to do and if im planning anything wrong let me know, thanks a lot. I upgraded my last orange tytn2 to the official HTC wm v6.1 a couple of weeks ago and encountered the dreaded screen lag problem. It was so bad and made by phone so unusable i gave up and called in orange care to bail me out.. broken screen, honest.
I have got a replacement now and still want wm6.1, i quite like some of the newer features, especially the threaded txt features. I have read all the forums and downloaded all the software (and have i noticed a fix for the wm6.1 lag problem that caused me so much grief two weeks ago).
This is what i plan to do....
1 Backup all docs and personal data.
2.copy the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to my device and run it (my last tytn had the white screen prob, this one will prob be the same)
3.unplug and replug the usb cable
4.flash with the HTC SPL 3.28
(or should i use this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922)
5.run RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship to upgrade the rom
6.reflash with HTC SPL 3.28 then reeboot
will the above process be ok and more importantly will it avoid the screen lag problems.

use that one, make sure you have done the procedure correctly. After that you have hard spl, and you can begin flashing any of the wonderful Kaiser roms that are available in this thread.
Now for my soapbox:
This information regarding proper flashing procedures is readily accessible in multiple locations including the wiki, and the stickied thread at the top of this forum. Please take the time to try to learn some of this by reading, and if you have questions about any particular part, please please please post in that thread instead of creating a new one. This place is getting messy in here (though that's partly due to all the wonderful chefs whipping out the new roms constantly...we appreciate your work guys!)

thats what are new hardspls are for: to get rid of screen freezes in wm6.1. Please read wiki and all important and relevant info before flashing. The track you have chosen is pretty much accurate, but posting a thread like this will get you scolded by the mods...
Thanks for your replies guys, and sorry to the mods if this posting has caused any problems in this forum.

I just received my Kaiser a yesterday coming from being a long long time Wizard user. Before I even received it I began reading everything I could to be ready to flash.. If there is one thing i could comment on though is that it appears that in the past month or so the Kaiser Rom flashing process has been changing a bit. I mean a new official 6.1 was released, diamond roms are coming out, and over coming various radio problems.
That being said, the wiki probably needs to be examined and updated as much as possible in these changing times. Once I get kaiser ground underneath me, I will be more then glad to contribute, as that is what this site is about, developers helping other developers. For instance, the page about ROM Upgrading basically just says flash pofs hard spl 1.0. Yes the new jockyws hard spl just came out, but still...
I don't know.... Just throwing it out there..
Coming from a wizard, the kaiser it a entirely different beast.. I am glad i have put in the time to do some reading, and its good to see some over the old wizard cooks here, and excited to to test out some new stuff.
Hi-
Just getting into this with my new (to me) Fuze. I've just flashed my phone with the newest TAEL ROM (6.5.3) and now I'm ready to work on the radio. My radio is currently 1.14.25.35. I've searched for an hour now, and though there are threads on flashing new radios, none of them give any advice on which radio to choose (yes, there is a 270 page one with that in the title, but noone actually gives advice. its a long list of questions about how to flash the radio).
So can anyone recommend a radio, or point me to a radio thread that isn't 270 pages of "OMG i think i bricked my phone"? Thanks in advance, and I've really enjoyed reading these forums because people generally answer questions, and rarely flame questions like this.
OK, how about this...
Appears that I've hit something of a dead end with this one... How about this instead:
Have you recently flashed your ATT Fuze with a different radio, which one was it, and did it make any difference (better or worse) to your voice service?
Thanks!
well...
Funny- I may have received no answers to my questions, but that's still better than most sites! anywhere else I would have gotten a "search the forums" answer, two flames, one person asking why I'm asking, and a short answer from someone who didn't understand the question. Thanks XDA-dev site! You're now #1 in my book!
To be honest, I've run both 1.14.25.05 and 1.14.25.35 recently and they both work well enough for me to not worry about the radio version anymore. However make sure you have matching radio and rilphone.dll installed otherwise you will have issues. For example, NRG cooks in rilphone for 1.14.25.05; since my phone is flashed with 1.14.25.35 it causes the wifi to be unavailable until I install the correct .dll.
It's probably safe to reason that no one has replied because everyone's situation is different (towers, 3g coverage etc) that can cause wildly different results in radio version coverage, GPS speed etc.
