How to Upgrade Radio Rom on G4?

I've had a G3, but i am trying to help my cousin set hers up. I need to actually "downgrade" her radio rom because anything 2.25 and above doesnt allow to her text message (it keeps saying wait 15 seconds before trying again)
Do I need to use the shell tool to do a radio upgrade/downgrade, or do i simply just run the radio rom installer file?
Thanks in advance, i don't want to break my cousin's G4. Thank god i have a G3

I found that I could only run the 2.19 radio install after re-installing a fresh Cingular HTC ROM, install the radio by simply running the included installer "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" that came with the T-Mobile one located in the forum, then re-install the WM6 image. Otherwise I got an invalid version error. For the most part, running the radio update won't mess up the base image, so there's little risk.

Thats because you aren't on Cingular (not sure if the OP is running Cingular but my guess is they are based on the description of the problem). Its well documented that WM6 ROMS on the Cingular network have issues with any rom with a higher version that 2.19.
So back to the original question... Yes as stated above, you can just flash it with the RUU Noid that comes with the radio only rom. Since its Radio Only, it will flash fine on a G4 and not brick the device.

Stock HTC rom and Radio Questions

It looks like the stock HTC rom comes with the radio I already have - 1.27.12.11. I really like the stock HTC rom, but after 3 days of using it on my first Tilt, the phone went belly up after a night on the charger. I think this had nothing to do with the ROM, but I'm still scared now.
Does this mean that my phone network will operate EXACTLY how it does now with the stock ATT rom - 1.57.502.2 - as long as the radio version is the same? I've been through hell with ATT the last week (first week of my service). Phone would not work at my house with full service (neither my or my girlfriends Samsung phone would work, so it was for sure a network issues for them)... So i want to make sure my kaiser stays working.
If it does work exactly the same, should I try to upgrade to the 'better' radio - 1.27.12.17? Is it worth it? Or if it works with the stock HTC rom should I just stay?
This is the only HTC stock ROM right? The one I should use? I'm just worried because my first Kaiser bricked after 3 days of use after flash. It worked fine for those days --->

I am not sure if I am correct here, but from what I have read the AT&T ROMS use different radio drivers, and so a different radio is needed when using the At&T ROM. There is a lot of information about each radio in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375 (it says which ones will work with HTC ROMS and which ones will work with AT&T ROMS). If you want the AT&T stock ROM, just download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1635602&postcount=1 and it will flash the radio that works with that ROM as well.
If you want to flash a different ROM, why not try a ROM that has been cooked, but is not made for AT&T. Q-Mobile or one of Dutty's variants should do. I am using Dutty's and its great. If you like the stock ROM that much, I would just keep it because, like you said, your other phone dying most likely had nothing to do with the ROM.

So, in the end... will the radio 1.27.12.17 (newer radio) work with the stock HTC rom, and should I try it?

Uk T-mobile original SPL / Radio

Hello this is my first post.
I have recently been trying out various WM6.1 roms and now have the issue where I can only use GSM (G3 and HSPDA just don't work)
I have tried various radios and downgrading to a reconstructed stock rom. However nothing seems to work. From reading other threads it seems to be a hardware issue, so I need to restore it back to the original settings for repair.
I have the original OS on now, but need to now put back on the original radio and SPL version; however I don't know which versions these are. Also I have a custom start screen so need to go back to the original T-mobile one as well. Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I had a problem like you aswell; after upgradig my sound just went away, even after installing the radio. What I did was flash my TYTN2 with the official 6.1 rom (radio included). It's in of the threads, I don't think it'll take you too long to find it =)
Hope that helps!

I have tried various combinations of the original (6.1 and T-mobile) roms and radios and nothing seems to work.
I think that one of the radio roms may have fried my G3/HSPDA chip. GSM works fine but I bought the phone for hi speed data and now can't use it. If any one knows a software fix for this it would be billiant. However at the moment I think I will have to wait until T-mobile bring out a rom so I can restore the SPL & splash screen from that. (hope that wont be to long)
Any other suggestions welcome as I will try anything to get this problem sorted.

Radio 1.27.12.11 should work fine

How did this finish? Have you sent back your device or did you have it working? Did you find, if yes, where did you find the SPL and Splash screen?
Let me know, thanks in advance!

I decided to wait until the new T-mobile rom came out with proper SPL / Radio, and just stick with GSM.
I couldn't find either the proper SPL or splash screen. I think these need to be extracted from a proper T-mobile ROM.
However after 4 days G3/HSPDA just started working again. I didn't change the rom or radio (just stuck with Sluth's WM6.1). I must conclude that it was something to do with T-mobiles network settings that they resolved.

Help With Flashing Radio ROM

Hi there, i'm search all the fourm for Treo750 and find no answer, so finally, I decied to ask.
I new got an Treo750 ATT (Unlocked) and it come with the very rear Radio ROM now which version is 1.17.20.00 (from ROMver 1.16??I don't know)
the problem is, with this radio, i have no internet access and have horriable singal drops, the worest is, it often sleep in to dead(like o2 xda flame).
So, I first tried changed the OS rom, but I flashed all roms all versions--from Offical to wm6.1, no luck...the problem still have.(I kick out the radio rom part from Offical ROM, see below for reason)
I don't know if there is something wrong with the hardware but I do have those steps below:
Flash OS rom, SPL, HardSPL,Radio
ONLY THING THAT I DIDN'T change was the Radio ROM, first I cannot flash it.
it always stucked at 0%, and wait for 45mins, still 0%. I restart the device, reflash the radio less OS rom, startup, and radio don't change, the problem still have....
I tried everything, form offical rom with radio, even the Cheetchunlocker radio patch, SD/ActiveSync. All operation realted to flash the radio will result a hang....
BTW: I'm working in China, and will last for years.... I really have to change the radio to compatible with the China Mobile GSM....

is it radio issue?

Hi guys, my raphael was working good when stoped working the EDGE radio, it connects right on the anthem, but doesnt get signal, loosing the information with the connection timeout reason.
I think it is my radio, I have never messed with raphael HardSPL, just installed the rom 5.05.401.1 WWE official HTC rom disponible on the official HTC WEBSITE, only clicking on the file.
And I updated my radio too, installing the 1.11.25.01 version, official to the fuze, it was working so good, suddenly it broken the signal and have already passed 5 days.
I was thinking about re-installing the radio, seems that when I installed the 1.11.25.01 Radio version I didnt need to loose all my installed programs, data etc, only updating the rom, not loosing information as in the ROM installation.
I would like to re-install this rom version, or the last and best rom version with loose my data, I didnt remember the procedure, if I needed to instal the HardSPL or no, but by my remembering, only executed the .exe files on the desktop
help please!

i was needing this help so much, please help me guys, i tested my chip on another mobile and worked the edge

Be sure to flash Hard SPL before you do anything!!!!!
After you do that, you can go ahead and flash.
If I were you, I'd flash a different radio to see if it works better, I recommend .28, .32, and the .19 test.
If that doesn't work then let us know.

I cannot say if your radio is the problem. If you're installing an official HTC or provider ROM, you do not need HardSPL. If you want to install a cooked one here off XDA, you do. This great guide will help you flash a cooked ROM and/or radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
You're right, if you flash a radio, then you will not lose anything in your Storage Memory. If you flash a ROM, you will, so be sure to back up your PIM. PPCPimBackup does a great job for that, you can find it at d0ugie's site: http://blownfuze.org/ Your contacts and calendar should come back right away after the restore, but the messages take a while to rebuild, so don't touch it for at least 15 mins after the reboot.

I was trying to flash the HardSPL, and it goes to an ERROR
Trying to flash a Radio goes to an ERROR too, my raphael is only accepting the official's HTC ROM, when flashing anything it cracks on 0%
wtf?

By default, you cannot flash anything but an HTC or provider ROM; you cannot flash radios either. You have to flash HardSPL before you flash a custom ROM or a radio.
Have you tried running SSPLManual.exe as outlined in the guide above, step 2 note 2?
