Radio Upgrade Only

Sorry if this is a real [email protected] question but I want to upgrade my (MDA Compact alike) Orange M500 but only the radio version is this possible? I can't seem to find a procedure on how to do this.

1. decompress the rom file(it's a exe) with Winrar.
2.U will find 3 nbf file.
3. remove 2 of them EXCEPT the radio).nbf
4. perform the update

Thank you for your response! already thought so but just wanted to be sure! thanks again!

AFAIK this is not possible.
The only optional part during an upgrade is the Extended ROM for a Himalya (dont know the effects for Magician).
If you only supply the radio nbf, you will end up with a non-functionin device.

@edsub: You're wrong in case of the Magician.
@rvbcrs: Do as jackleung said - it will work flawlessly, because I did this myself already.

Also, if you upgrade/downgrade radio only, it will not erase your "big-storage" ROM!!

thks for the tip, indeed the bigstorage ROM remains after radio 'only' upgrade.
Just upgraded to (Qtek) radio 1.12, although haven.t seen any differences with 1.11.

Excalibur Radio on Tornado possible?

Folks, is it possible to to flash the radio from the excalibur onto a tornado ? I've extracted the radio from the nbh but just wondering what to do next or whether its worth trying this ?

i dont mean to be rude, but, is there something wrong with you?!
you risk killing your phone by flashing ANY part of a rom to one which is not designed for your phone! just play it safe and keep it to tornado only updates! as far as i know, there isnt any way to fix a corrupted radio rom update.

No.
That was easy, wasn't it?

IMHO previous ones were wrong If YOU want to make an experiment and if you UNDERSTAND, that this can corrupt your device - than you of course can! I know situation when Tornado user flashed RADIO from communicator, by using COMMUNICATOR flashing software No troubles, everything, that was to be done - is to flash radio by means of Tornado flasher - and everything was OK!
I.e. - in one thread user post link to Radio 1.20.00 - number is NOT Tornado Radio one, am I right? Still, this radio works perfectly on my Qtek 8300
So I think that the main point - is to use Tornado Flasher to flash any part of our devices. If you don't play with IPL/SPL - everything IMHO may be undone safely!
Good luck! And please, share us link to Excalibur Radio

Aha, this i link to post with radio 1.20.00 updater

Whats the RIL version of your Tornado and Excalibur? if they're both 2.002 then it may be OK to flash, same with the vox etc... Just as long as you have it in the proper NBF format required by the tornado...
However it'd be best to run the following command via mtty first:
Code:
r2sd GSMDATA
This will backup your IMEI and radio tuning etc in the event of it all going horribly wrong.
If it does go wrong, reflash a tornado radio, then reflash your GSMDATA from the card backup you took.

You can't dump the radio image from the device, it must be stripped from an operator released upgrade utility.

I have the Radio 1.27.12.32 on my phone. I bought it in Germany.
If there is a possibility to extract it, I will do...

I also have this radio ROM, got the TyTN II from expansys today.

Any possibility of getting this Radio? Would like to try it out.

Ok I quite the newbie so I hope you can bear with what might be a stupid question. First let me say that I love this site and all you guys are great. I use a Mac with OS X so there is no way I can run some of the tools recommended for ROM stuff.
I would however like to take my TyTN II from radio 1.27.12.11 to 1.27.12.17.
I downloaded from http://www.cinetsystems.com/ the KAIS_Radinly_1.27.12.17_CustomRUU.rar, and it expands into an RUU_signed.nbh and a CustomRUU.exe . All I have to do is run the .exe to flash the radio? It will not wipe out the data on my device? Do I need to copy both files to the TyTN II or is the .exe self contained?

HALT Noob. Read the rom upgrading instructions first. You must first load "Hard SPL" which will protect you from bricking your phone and allow flashing roms. You need a functional active sync connection to the phone to do this. XP is best, Vista works as well.
After this is done, then yes you would simply extract the two files into a folder and run the exe file. It would then flash the radio only and not effect any of your files or operating system.
Flashing radios takes about 5 minutes when all goes well.

There is a Russian version which includes this Radio

I hope someone can work out how to strip the radio out.

Thanks! So we have a choice to flash this radio on our device!

Ok, I've downloaded and extracted the ROM. 4 files,
00_Unknown.nb
01_SPL.nb
02_MainSplash.nb
03_OS.nb
was expecting to see a 05_GSM.nb but as 00_Unknown.nb was the correct size (16.7Mb) I've used that one and packaged it.
Try it here...

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, 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!
