radio 0.24.00.05 rom upgrade problem

Hi all,
I am having troubles updating my radio rom. This device has been a beta pre lease.
Current version is:
R: 0.24.00.05 (believe it or not...)
G: 22.23.40.00H
D: 1.56.00.00
I was able to load the kaiser cooked rom (but radio and camara are not working properly). I have Hard SPL for Kaiser loaded.
I've tried many roms, but they all fail at 95% with error [262]. And then I have to reload the cooked rom to get the system working again.
Anyone any suggestions?
Jeroen

do you have a Kaiser?
I don't think that is the correct radio for Kaiser ROMs. If so there may be special stuff cooked into the original ROM, just like the ATT Roms which use a specific radio.
read the sticky regarding radio's.

Yes, I have a Kaiser (loaded S.N.E. cooked rom)

that is not a Kaiser rom!! I'm surprised you didnt brick your device lol! Make sure your trying to flash a Kaiser RUU_signed.nbh that has only a OS.nb inside and then flash the radio.nb later...

read your reply
the link you provided to the "no evil" rom doesn't mention anywhere in the thread about the radio you are using. where did you get it?
recommended by thread author - radio 1.27.12.17

bought device on ebay
I know the radio is not compatible with the rom. That is why I want to update the radio.
It is just that the radio flash process hangs at 95%.
Best regards,
Jeroen

problem solved
At this location ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/ I found a rom similar to the existing in my device: 0.26.07.06. This one worked, and afther that I was able to flash the version I wanted: 1.27.12.11.
I'm happy. My device is up to date and very quick with Alex's Utra clean rom!
Thanks for listening!
Jeroen

hmmmmmmmmmm
try a hard reset and flash before you customize (upon initial bootup) - maybe???

Few Questions After Reading the Wiki Tutorials

I have an AT&T Tilt and would like to flash the firmware to the HyperDragon III which can be found in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121
Following the directions in the TILT Specific Wiki, I flashed the HardSPL which was version 1.57.502.2. This was the file listed in the thread for the TILT.
Checking out the other threads in this forum, it looks like there are now HardSPL version in the 3 range like 3.07 3.28 3.29.
I'm confused if the file listed on the TILT Wiki was correct or if I actually need a different HardSPL file.
My other question is about Radio. I have read all the information about making sure that the radio on my phone will work with the rom that I would like to install.
What I cant seem to find though is how to check what radio my phone is currently using ?
Any help on this would be appreciated.
I know that answers are probably in the forum somewhere I just can't seem to find the right search string to pull it up.

Use the HardSPL found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922 (this is a sticky on the ROM dev page).
Here is a guide for Radios: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182 - basically flash a radio onto your device and test it out. Different radios will give you better/worse battery life, affect connectivity, GPS, and the like. Performance varies by region and what ROM you have installed.
Here is another link you may find useful: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Radio
Hope this helps.

So the newer versions of the HardSPL have the same benefits as the one I installed said it did ? Such as being able to go back to older, original roms and helping to protect against bricking ?

The 3.* versions of Hard Spl do the same as the 1.* versions - they allow you to flash cooked Roms. The 3.* have better compatability with WM6.1 than the 1.* versions, thats all.

Another question, I am trying to flash the new 3.56 HardSPL before installing the new Rom.
Do I need to use the SoftSPL even though I already have the 1.5x HardSPL installed or can I just run the update like normal.
Also, when trying to run the update like normal using the KaiserCustom RUU File, I run through the wizard and after getting my phone information it correctly shows that I currently have 1.5x, however it says that I will be updating to 1.00.000.0
Is this normal ? Or should it actually show that it is updating to 3.56 ?

yes thats normal one quick thing search for jockeys security unlocker that has saved many headaches

Hi, the youtube video below walks you through it

Kaiser stuck on custom ROM, cannot update ROM or Radio, Tried EVERYTHING!

Hi, I have a Tilt with PDA Corner Ultimate V.10,
Hard SPL 3.29,
and radio 1.27.14.09 (AT&T Stock)
The radio is causing the phone to have no sound, but everything else works fine. I know this problem is common, but I have tried everything within my ability and cannot get it to flash to any other ROM or radio.
When flashing a new ROM or radio, it shows the current version and update version, but never gets past 0% without a 262 error
I have tried all of the solutions I found posted on the forum, (Jump SPL, MTTY, EVERYTHING) trust me i've searched and read and searched more, I am not a newb to this although my post count is low.
Is there anyone with this particular problem on this particular ROM/radio combination that can help me out?

Maybe this is another one of those 'Radios from Hell' that won't let you upgrade. Note this quote from Ultimate Radio Thread:

A clear advice to all is: always make sure you have HardSPL installed and your device is security unlocked before installing a new radio !!
Also, maybe something in this thread will help you...

Thanx for your quick reply. I was thinking along the same lines, but I installed HardSPL just fine and flashed to the PDA corner ROM with no problem, the problem arose when I figured out that the radio was causing the phone to have no sound and wanted to update it..which of course did not work. Right now I am trying the stock ROM with the same radio to see if it will allow me to flash it...

That's why I'm thinking you may have flashed a 'Radio from Hell' which is preventing any further ROM updates. Maybe something in the RFH thread I linked to can help...
Good luck!

Ok, this is a radio from hell, i found some information on it stating that when it is used with any other ROM, sound will not function. Now I am trying to revert back to the orignial ROM but I have a new problem, I cannot find the original rom for this phone (AT&T aku 0.4.4 build 18128 radio 1.27.14.09) in working condition. There is only one link to it and the file is corrupted(rapidshare). is there anyone with this operating system that could send me a link that is NOT the one posted on XDA: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341886). Thanx to drtolson, and thanx in advance to anyone else who is brave enough to get involved.
(Drtolson, I want to try the techniques on the post you sent a link to, but it states that the steps only work with that particular radio and others have not had any success using it with any other radios.)

ok thanx, I'm downloading it again to see if it works...

Ok, i re-downloaded the file and it worked and also successfully flashed back to the original ROM, I probably won't be able to flash it to another custom ROM but at least the sound is working and the phone is fully functional. THANX TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP!

[Q] Help Radio Dump

hello community !
i have a problem that on my SD card i see RADIO DUMP files
from what i have read it means my modem crashes sometimes is that true?
i have MIUI rom running all is working well except these weird dump files that get created from time to time.
as far as i understood i need to flash a different modem if i got it right that will solve the problem?
the thing is i have no idea wich modem i need where i should download it and how to install it
for example i have a Galaxy S also running Miui and i flashed a Modem called JV4 wich is recommended for Orange Israel strait from recovery.
can i use the same file on my nexus s ?
if not could some one please point me for the right modem for me for Orange Israel
and is installation simply from recovery too (install zip from sd) ?
thnx allot in advanced i sure hope the solution for this is easy

theres no fix to it. its just completely random, you're more than free to delete the files.
but yeah, if you want.. you can flash other radios (its not modems) via flashable zips using clockwork recovery. refer to the android dev forums for the RADIO thread and download the radios corresponding to your phone model
you can verify your current radio by going to menu -> about phone -> look for baseband version

hey thnx allot for the quick replay
is the radio has to do something with signal and stuff ?
and when u mean random u mean like its not a problem at all ?
and basiclly flashing a new radio wont solve the issue of the dump files ?
im gonna head over and check wich radio suits me
ive searched for the radio thread but theres so many of them hehe im lost
ok so i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884&highlight=Radio
but it does not say wich radio is for what area

Yes it does. Find out what model of nexus s you have and download a radio corresponding to your model. You can check your baseband (radio) as I listed before. Reread what I said previously. Everything you need to know is in there.
Or you can just delete the dumps, they're nothing.
I used to get a lot when I fest got the phone and then try mysteriously stopped showing up.

I don't understand what you're asking for.
The DUMPS being dumped into your sdcard are GARBAGE. They happen MYSTERIOUSLY. just delete them. Is there a fix? No. Do we know why that happen? Not 100%, if you want to really find out. Use the search feature and find it. There is a thread about radio dumps in the past, you might find something there. But my solution is to just delete it. It'll happen again but it's not like its going to use up all the space on your phone.
Updating the radio will not help anything. Is there a chance it could? It's possible. But the main reason why you update the radio is to see if it improves your signals. The latest version doesn't necessarily mean its better. It varies between location.
If you have I9020T... download the ones for that. These radios are not based on location, they are based on your PHONE MODEL. It is a global radio and doesn't matter. As long as its respective to the phone model that you have, you're fine. You're making it more complicated than what it really is.

NOW that makes everything more clear to me !!!
in galaxy s when i had radio dumps i changed radio and it helped this is why i asked for a different radio
but since u said there is really no use of changing a radio and it wont stop the dumps on the nexus s unlike the galaxy so i wont even bother flashing a different one
thnx u so so much for all your help and for making everything clear to me on how it works
thnx !

The only use of changing the radios is to see which of them gives you the best result. If you're that bored, you could go through each of them and see which gives you the best performance. I personally use KB3. KD1 has a bug where it says "3G" instead of "H" at various times and it bugs me.
You're welcome.

well as u said since those dumps wont go even if i flash a different radio then Fu$#*)( it
i dont really feel any poor signal in wifi 3g phone reception etc...
thnx again for everything it works different with the nexus s and galaxy s the radio thingy so now all cleared for me
im not that bored to start checking heheh you answered me perfectly now that i got it

new to Android and confused

Hi everyone,
I promise I´ve tried to search through stickies and and everything. But I´m still a bit puzzled. I just entered the Android world after I lost my 4th iPhone in a row (1. stolen, 2. downed, 3. replaced. 4. stolen). So now I own this Sensation EX and started playing around. I have to tell you that I´m having probs with all the abrevations and everything, but I´ll try to get my head in the game. I´ve already managed to root my device and I was looking around for what I could do with custom roms. Then I stumbled accross this "Radio" thing which seems to be what the baseband is in the iphone world. Do I need to update the "Radio" in order to get the latest roms with ICS working? How do I determine which version of what piece of software I do need?
I bought my HTC stock with no branding at all.
Hope you don´t mind me asking.

I never used an Iphone and I'm new to android, until now I used windows mobile but I can tell you one thing, more or less all smartphones have same "software". That is usually:
1. OS and 2. Radio
You don't need to flash radio in order to get custom rom or any other rom. In WM you could flash both at the same time (in one package) or separate. Separate was better because usually most of people wanted OS changes and you cold not brick your device (unless you did something stupid) but when you flash radio, you'll have to make sure you do the right things or otherwise you would end up with a very expensive brick
Basically, flash radio only if you are having issues with signal or dropped calls etc.
So, check the forum and find the rom you want to install, read the thread carefully and install that rom and keep away from radio if you don't have issues I mentioned above [if it aint broken, don't fix it ]

You will need the newest radio for the ARHD ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
To update the radio follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

Radios on Android are totally interchangable and slightly region dependent. As in, some work better in some places, others work better in other places. It's more or less a trial and error thing.
However, the new ICS roms that are based on 4.0.3 will require the new firmware package which includes the new 11.x radio. If you're just flashing gingerbread roms, you can leave the radio as it is.
