What does the Radio version of a ROM control? I noticed Dr. Gonzo's ROM has radio version 4.1.13.47_02-98-90, my vox has 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. Does the Radio version control how well the telephone commmuncates with cellular towers?
So after flashing it, do you notice any changes?
Honestly, no I haven't noticed any differences. That is why I didn't want to flash a whole new ROM mjust to get the updated radio, I had a feeling that there would not be any noticeable improvements.
Just to clarify, my rom doesn't update radio version. I prefered leaving this to user choice.
But the screenshot shows another version because I myself decided to update it.
I can't say I've noticed any difference, but maybe it is a thing to try for people having problem with bad signal reception etc...
It also appears that radio versions have an influence on battery consumption : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358933
non official ROM updates
hi everyone, i'm new in the forum and struggling to understand how to "work" on my new htc vox (but in italy is known as S710).
dr. gonzo, i have a few questions for you.
1: i am a vodafone sim user but on my s710/vox it goes ROAMING ON VODAFONE. i spent long time contacting htc asking for explanations and with vodafon italy too but (obviously!?!) it's no ones problem. i have been surfing looking for the same trouble but it looks like only spanish people has this problem but... no ones has idea about solutions...
it is very frustrating as i am not able to connect to gprs/edge nor send/receive mms.
do you know anything about it??? tks
2: i found vox has been produced in 2 versions
A - gps chipset and software built in
B - gps chipset missing but software available.
now the question is... how can i discover which is my model? and how to enable (in case B) the internal GPS module?
3: i read instructions about installing a new rom (and the guava look really pretty) but... it's still not clear how i should do it... i saw some linux talking in the instructions and i am just at the beginning with linux so i don't feel confident in applying any change from linux...
is there a way to do it through windows xp pro?
thanks for all the answers...
After flashing my s710 with ARA rom my radio version is:

if i`m not mistaking the ARA it`s a full ROM (IPL, SPL, RADIO and OS)
Yes, the ARA ROM is complete, but neither the New Guava nor the ROMs you produce with the kitchen have a new Radio version.
@laura8sp:
1.Try to go to HTC E-Club (http://member.htc.com/member/login.aspx), register if you haven't already. Then search for provider settings, maybe that helps!
2.No Vox has GPS built in, you are talking about Wing demo devices and Wing production devices.
3.Just read the instructions provided in the threads or ask there!
EDIT: I attached the correct file for you!
I'll post a file to just update your radio version in the thread about my rom for those interested.

hi and tks for answering...
i am already registered and already have the settings... but every provider is working with exception for vodafon...
3.Just read the instructions provided in the threads or ask there!>>>>>>>>> i did read instructions but i don't know "what is what"... so how can i understand the processes???? i am not used to these procedures so before doing some terrible damage....
thanks for answering again
I'll probably write a Wiki article about flashing in the next couple of days, I'll tell you when I am done!

Hello,
I know this isn't related to the PDA phones, but since it was one of the first smartphones powered by a microsoft OS and some of you like myself might have started out with one I thought this might interest you.
I managed to get the WM5 rom off someone advertising it on the web. It came in 3 parts, and you use a dos program to flash it. Basically when you run part one it gives you a device ID from the phone which you send to him, and then he sends you a key which flashes the device.
Due to flash space on the mpx200 being limited it installs part of the rom onto the storage card, but due to the way in which WM5 manages memory this doesn't work out as bad as you think, which is also the case for WM5 on the mpx200.
In fact I think this rom is a big fat kick in the teeth for companies like I-Mate who won't offer upgrades to older devices based on hardware restrictions. WM5 is probably the best OS for the mpx200, and although its sluggish at times, its no worse than any other OS on the mpx200 (in all honest I think the mpx200 is a bit sluggish regardless).
All in all its quite ironic using WM5 on the MPX200 given the fact my primary phone is a magician which doesn't even have a leaked version.
Here are a few shots I took.

Funny...The MPX200 was originally shipped with the 2002 OS. Nice find i guess.
neostar, where I can download this firmware?
If it really exists...
Re WM 2005 for MPX200 smartphone Build 14343
I'm interested too ...
Yeah I would love a copy too!
http://www.sendmefile.com/00189344
I don't known who upload.
In file you find: ASync 4.1 install, firmware parts, flashing tool, instructions
and unknown program dark5.exe
I don't test this firmware!!!
UPDATED
this firmware don't change beethoven bootloader and gsmradio
Okay, I've downloaded it, and checked it out. First, a quick google revealed that someone is selling it on ebay. The zip has 3 bin files and a "dark5.exe". The instructions says (this is just a part):
"3-Type "dark5 part1.bin" and hit enter, it should come up with a Screen
telling you your Hardware FingerPrint, and asking you to enter a User Name
and a Key. Send me your Hardware Fingerprint, and I will send you your
Username and Key, once entered, it will not ask again."
And since the seller of ebay has the word "dark" in it too, i guess it is the same thing. So, uh, this ROM needs some patching by the SPV-dev/XDA-dev guys
I've looked into the .bin files; a string says: "c : \ m a g b e t a 5 \" so i guess this is magneto beta 5...
It is possible to extract part2.bin into imgfs_raw_data.bin and imgfs_removed_data.bin with mamaich's WM5 ROM tools but the dump tool crashes after extracting a few files.
I *guess* part3.bin is the bootloader.
This firmware installed many peoples from xUSSR and its WORK!
SD card used for store all datafiles and installed programs.
for flashing you can convert bin files to "cmcs image" format. You can use mpx200_backup from marsgod or BINtoIMG from www.onk.nm.ru/mpx200/
Full install guide and discussion (unfortunatelly in spanish) here: http://www.movileswindows.es/
Can anybody help MPx220 users to convert that ROM to their devices?
On MPx200s this ROM works fine.. there are about 500 messages of MPx200 users that installed that ROM on their smartphones. I search a ROM for my MPx220... but I can't find

Want to flash your device to the T-Mobile, Orange or Tilt standard ROMs? Here's the answer.
THIS IS a 'Kaiser TLR' ROM - see here for more details.
How to install:
- Create a new directory
- Download Custom RUU, and extract it to the new directory
- Download the 'Kaiser TLR Control ROM NBH' (or, if you have the HTC ROM update, use the ruu_signed.nbh) and put it in the new directory named HTC.nbh. Keep for future use!
- Download the Kaiser TLR ROM file of your choice below, and extract to the new directory
- Ensure your device is running USPL
- Run the batch file to install!
Remember, now you have the control file on your machine, future ROM builds can be much smaller files. Ask your favourite ROM chef for Kaiser TLR compatible ROMs now
TLR
Kaiser TLR ROM - T-Mobile MDA Vario III Shipping DOWNLOAD (6.6MB)
Kaiser TLR ROM - Orange TyTN II Shipping - DOWNLOAD (7.4MB)
Kaiser TLR ROM - AT&T Tilt Shipping - DOWNLOAD (22.3MB - lots of AT&T crap bloat)
is the tmobile TLR a UK or USA rom?
i am sorry for my ignorence, but what are these files? if they are ROMs, why the size are much smaller compared to the shipped ROM or even the cooked ROMs? thanks for the enlightment
T-Mobile UK
Because each ROM is a patch from the 'control' ROM, which is the HTC ROM. One big download once, then in future only patches is the idea.

i cannot for the life of me get it to flash the tmobile rom properly...it does the update as usual but when it boots, there's no TMobile customisation or backscreen, and the boot screen is still the HTC version
i've attached what i have in the directory - are these files all ok?
My kaiser is 100% running USPL
TIA!

either way, mine is 100% running HardSPL
Following the instructions exactly I also was unable to flash back to the UK T Mobile version, went through process but still had htc branding.
Thanks, but no thanks. Full ROMS is just fine for me. I don't have fiber connectivity to the internet for nothing
No tower coverage
Hi, I Have T-Mobile UK MDA Kaiser, Kais130 WM 6 Prof, Sim locked phone.......
I unlocked my mobile in a shop, But their is no tower coverage after they done it .
My Mobile Rom and Radio has been changed by the shop man.
I dont know how to correct Rom & Radio to get full coverage.
Pls help me....
Thanks in advance..!
I posted this inside of another thread, but I thought it could use it's own thread.
I flashed NotATreoFan's AT&T Loaded V2 ROM a couple days ago and it seems nice but I keep running into a problem with the sound. I've got an AT&T Tilt (no camera) with HardSPL 3.56 and Radio 1.71.09.01. As soon as it was up and running, voice commander crashed and I have no sound through the speaker or through the earpiece during calls and outside of calls. The sound is entirely broken.
This has happened before on different ROMs as well, including the official AT&T WM6.1 ROM and L26's new ROMs. I've been using the ROMeOS roms without the sound problem for a few weeks now. I've already tried flashing different radios (1.65.20.29 and 1.58.25.17) and they didn't change anything.
I figured the problem was caused by the SRS WOW HD app, so I uninstalled it on the NATF ROM and sound was back, but only in calls and not through the speaker at all. I reflashed the ROM to get back to stock and now the sound is entirely gone without even installing SRS WOW. I've searched the forums but can't find an answer for this. Any ideas how to fix it?
wowzers u cut and pasted ur post from natf's thread to create ur own thread!!! well my suggestion to u is first dont do this again its not necessary then to flash att stock rom and remove ur sd card if u have one as something on there maybe interfering with device. and please dont ask how to flash a stock rom just search and answer ur own questions u will see that there is really no exact answer to ur problem which is probably why noone responded to ur original post yet
Edit: meant where to get a stock rom from... u'd be surprised
Thanks for answering the question, and I obviously know how to flash a rom, so thanks for the sarcasm as well. This is a unique problem so I figured it would be useful to have it's own thread so people who have this problem in the future can search like I did and find an answer.
Change the radio installed...

Not unique whatsoever. It's a very common problem when flashing and the only solution is to flash another radio. Also, you shouldn't double post, against forum rules.

Hi.
Extended ROM is protected for write on some ROM's.
Soo... for unlock it..
is 1 reg-key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1]
"SoftwareWriteProtect"=dword:0
and for show it:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:0
and sometimes:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:2
They are in boot.rgu!
But is not all. Protection is still exists.
Extended ROM is protected for write by TrueFFS driver.
A modified TrueFFS driver is attached.

That's not true for every ROM! In my ROM I only had to change the reg-settings and everything worked fine. I never changed the driver!
Chefs should try reg-settings first and if it does not work you may try to change the driver.
Wow I don’t know how I missed this thread, but I guess ill add my two cents as well.
I have to agree with Ham3r on this subject.
I have played with many newer ROMs and I was never able to unlock the Extended ROM.
In my research all the ROMs I tried with a version number higher than 1.5.?.? failed to unlock write protection.
My solution was to take the TrueFFS.dll from an older XIP and use it, doing so allowed me to unlock the write protection on the Extended ROM.
If anyone has truly had success unlocking the Extended ROM on higher versions please let me know what the ROM version is.
Any Extended ROM can be unhidden however unlocking write protection is a different story.

I found that driver after year.
Old version (from old wizard roms) brick G4 device (device stay on first splash, after flash other rom stay on welcomehead).
In my ROM and here is version similar to 3.08 T-Mo (1.6.3.8?? i don't remember), but without extrom protection.
And I only had to change the reg-setting to unLOCK my ROM and it worked with G3 and G4. I know the differnts between unlocking and unhiding!
