which RADIO is BETTER? 15, 17, or 18 - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

I have downloaded the 3 version of RADIO rom
Radio 1.15
Radio 1.17
Radio 1.18
Which one is BETTER? bacause I see that Radio 1.18 DONT have windows live neither messenger.

It's different for different people and different regions/countries/Service-Providers but in my case I think the best radio by far is 1.13 ! (Sweden/Comviq-Tele2)
Tried all radios and since I tried 1.13 I havent changed.
BTW: "windows live neither messenger" has NOTHING to do with the radio version...

The OS ROM image (possibly extROM in some cases) contains the software.
As for the radio ROM, try them out and see which gives you best stability and reception. I use T-Mobile's 1.17 (from their latest ROM) and it works best for me.

If you had done a new radio pool (we already have some in the forum), I'd vote for 1.17.
1.18 caused me problems with some ROMs.
1.15 is fine too.

1.17 works best for me as well...

Indeed
....

Use 1.15. With 1.17, 1.18 had problems with all roms, but radio depends on the operator as mentioned above.

i'm using 1.12 in the netherlands

Can anyone give a suggestion regarding T-Mobile in Hungary?
Also, do the GSM Crashes have anything to do with the version?

Radio 1.17

I'm using 1.18 with the same ROM and telecom operator you use, but the results are not good.
Can you tell me where can I found the 1.17?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, mzalan!
I use 1.15, tried 17 and 18 too, but I had problems with 1.18 (as I remember).
Don't really know which one is better or whether older ones works better, but I experience "crashes" time after time too! Like this: full signal -> no signal/Gprs -> searching -> back to normal. Like the Phone has been reset! Strange... I always blamed the Radio ROM, but I didn't do much to solve this...

I´m waiting for Serial Number or RUU application from Magic market in Brazil.
Cheers.
Indeed I see an RUU for Magic(Entel) in Brasil's HTC page. We need the serial number to download it, though
Hi,
I have a Magic from TIM Brasil and I don't know why Entel is listed on the HTC brazilian page. It is a cel company from Chile, not Brazil.
When trying to downaload the update it says the update in not aplicable.
Anyway the ROM version seems to be older than the one that came with my Magic (mine is 3.03.527.3 and the update is 2.20.515.5)

Yeah, 3.03 seems to be the only version available for the Magics that received the SenseUI update. I guess the brazilian version doesn't have anything new in that regard

I think the Magic with Radio-6.35.08.29 is only sold by carrier Claro.
You can find the 6.35.08.29 radio here. It comes from a 32A HTC Magic RUU (RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.exe) for Greece.
EDIT: New link
cursordroid , can we use 6.35.08.29 radio with 1.76.2007 SPL and your great rom ?

You can just upgrade the radio without loosing anything and it works just fine.

Did anyone try to use this on a 32A Magic from Europe?
cmon guys, just read what he wrote.
Today there was an update release for HTC Magic in Greece with Sense UI and this radio.
I personally just flashed the radio and it is working great with cursordroids' ROM.

The reason I'm asking is because I can't find any official downloads. There's nothing in this thread about HTC releasing Sense in Greek..
Yes, and the question is, can we use this on any Hero from Europe (the whole RUU not just the radio), just like an official update.

This update seem to be for "Sapphire" aka HTC Magic, not Hero.
You could try running this RUU but I guess it won't work without a goldcard in your phone.
Anyways, if the official Sense update is just around the corner I rather wait until it reaches my country.

I took a quick look at it and I saw this:

Hmm, my 32A seems to be Greek, but I can't find any official update on HTC website... am I looking in the wrong place?

It might be a new spl
But it not an engineering bootloader so alle security will be on, it might be better to wait to see if 1.76.0009 shows up in a engineering version.

Are there any solutions to deal with PERFECTED SPL 1.76.0009?

Hi all,
Do you have any ideas to deal with Perfected SPL 1.76.0009? I got stuck with this ROM when upgrading to the latest official ROM.

I couldn't care less to be honest. Every custom rom i've tried ran like a poo, this one on the other hand is flweless. Fast, stable and everything works. Rogers will roll out an official 2.1 in a few months and that's when i will upgrade my rom.
Yeah but until then, I have a magic that won't be used because I need USB Tethering so I can do my work mobile. Still need root though to do A2SD. Oh lets not forget the other multitude of things we can't do without root. Maybe when it comes out with 2.1, it'll be rootable by default like the Nexus One. They should really give back to the OpenSource community. OpenSource is helping them sell.

I think they think it's OK that people who knows what they're doing to have rooted phones. People who knows what they are doing also know how to flash an update without getting perfect SPL. This is just a guess, but I think that if enough people who wants root is getting stuck on this SPL, they will release a way to root (just like they did with 1.76.0007).
ok. so excuse me for being stupid,but there is no way to flash a 1.76.2007?or a 1.33... if there's a 1.76.0009?

Unfortunetaly you are correct in your statement. If you have done the latest Rogers update, that would force you to have the 1.76.0009 SPL, then at this point, you cannot change to any other SPL.
Rogers is actually 1.76.0010 SPL/HBOOT
ROM 3.05.401.3 Europe: 1.76.0009
ROM 3.05.720.3 Asia India: 1.76.0009
ROM 3.05.631.7 Rogers: 1.76.0010
In any case, I never had the 1.76.0009.
The problem with these ROMs is that you cannot downgrade the ROM to an older version. The SPL is checking for main version (first 3 digits of the HBOOT version)
Can someone confirm this? What happens when you try to goldcard the 1.76.0009 down to a lower version ROM?

Didn't work cause you'll need a sappimg with higher manver than the current on your phone.
There is a solution. You need a serial cable.

Hi all.
I think I've fixed the perfected SPL 1.76.0009. I took the system.img from the Indian ROM 3.05.720.3 and put together a sappimg.zip (mirror - more mirrors coming soon) [MD5SUM: 20333385aab3f209dd708507f320c1ee].
Put this in a goldcard (see my blog for the procedure of making a goldcard - use google translate in the sidebar to translate from Greek) and go in HBOOT mode by holding volume down and momentarily pressing the power button. The HBOOT should peak the sappimg.zip. Follow the on screen instructions and at the end of the procedure you should have the non perfected SPL 1.76.2007 installed as well as radio 6.35.10.18 and Amon_Ra's modified recovery for radio 6.35.xx.xx. From then on you can install whatever ROM you like (it must be for radio 6.35.xx) or downgrade your radio to 3.22.xx.xx and use the ROMs built for this radio.

New Radio Issues.Can I downgrade?

I faced some signal issues with my Magic (32A) and I guess that it's the new radio's fault (6.35.10.18). How can I downgrade it? Which radio do you think that is the best?
Thnx a lot...

If you have an engineering (1.76.2007) SPL you can easily downgrade by following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
3.22.20.17 is the newest 3.x 32A Magic radio.
