hey guys....a nice little noob here.
So ive recently began reading up on upgrading my wizard to a nice wm6 rom. im interested in a stable touch rom, ive narrowed it down to a couple (mostly TNT, OCTAIVOI and NBD). ive read a couple of posts mentioning a specific rom using a specific radio, to insure stablitity. I want the bling in my phone but with most stability i can get. So overall this confused me a little bit. i ran a search and couldnt find anything.
the question is: im assuming when you flash a rom, theres a radio included in it. but when people use a specific radio, how is that done. Do they flash the radio after the rom or vice versa?
heres an example. i looked at the TNT.1933, it is mentioned that 2.19.11 UK is the most stable. is that radio included in the rom or is it a recommendation? if its not included how do you flash it?
Thanks for all the help !!

Hello welcome to the forums. Not all roms have a radio included. if you see in a rom thread that is "G4 safe" that means that it is only the OS. You can flash the radio whenever you want. i would suggest using the 2.19 radio. or the newest one 2.71 i think it is. i am currently running it with no problems.
reffering to what rom to put, i say try all of them until you stop at one that you like.
BUT FIRST, MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS CID UNLOCKED! otherwise, you won't be able to flash anything onto it.
Hope that helped.
Thank you so much for the advice TH. Very kind of you.
I was looking for an answer to that on the forum, but all i found was the actual radios to download. I dont really mind experimenting with my phone, and i plan on doing exactly what u recommended by trying them all out. I also have a prophet which i feel like updating because i dont have a keyboard on it, so it makes more sense to try a touch rom on it.
I unlocked my wizard, its a G3 it was very easy, so no issues there.
so I would flash a rom i like, and then flash the radio? if i flash another rom, do i lose the radio or does it stay on the phone?
thanks again

or you can try radio 2.40.11 (this is the radio from the official rom OS 5.2.318 build 15342 of MS):
Code:

Well that's sorta a tough question. Technically no. I think you mean if you flash for example TNT's ROM then you flash NBD's ROM. Then no, your radio would remain unchanged.
BUT... You should flash back to a stock ROM in between, and that WILL wipe your radio. What I do is flash to stock 8125 Cingular ROM from HTC's website. Then I flash the 3.08 IPL/SPL (only do this for G3 phones!!). Then I flash the OS ROM such as TNT or something. The last step is flashing a radio. I too have been using 2.71 lately. Seems to work well. My issues are more OS related lately as I have been learning to cook and always have one issue or another on my phone
cool. i'll look for 2.71, i have 2.19 right now.
i see ure using fido. Glad to see other canadians having fun with these.
im kind of annoyed though, just when i make up my mind on the rom i want, i cant find it. The NBD ftp seems to be down. my next step was the tnt i guess, any thoughts?
i basically want a nice rom, with touch and a decent amount of stability, of course with touch ive read that stability is usually an issue, but im sure there has to be one more stable then the other.

Have you been trying any of the different radios? I'm in the same boat as you - Fido user (Toronto), wondering which radio version would work best. If there are any other Fido Wizard users out here, would love to hear some feed-back!
When trying different radios, how do you evaluate which is the best? What are the key things to look for?
3.08
where can i find ipl/spl 3.08?

im running the tmobile 2.26 radio, i never flashed a different one after flashing nbd 8.3. I just flashed ipl/spl 3.08. So far everything is very smooth. no errors, missed called, sms errors for 3 straight days. and battery is very good as well.
Only issue i have with nbd is the fact that now everytime i send out an sms i get an sms in return saying the message was sent. im actually browsing the pages right now looking for a fix to that.
anyone have a solution?
helloooooooo?
where do i find IPL/SPL 3.08????????????

Markdam - Was this thread called "Secret Location of IPL/SPL 3.08"?
Two posts within 24 hours - talk about wanting instant gratification!
Yesterday evening, I flashed my Radio to 2.69.11
Reception seems possibly worse, but hard to gauge if this is due to the new radio, or the inconsistent signal strength that I seem to get in my bedroom. I'm also in the process of trying out various new apps, and it seems that something that I installed today is slurping my battery faster than before....

Hi all,
I'm wondering how I can check if my HTC Touch Pro is unlocked for installing custom roms. I bought it without a carrier with no simlock.
Don't know if that matters?
Hope that someone can tell me how to check this...
Thanks

If you did not buy it from a carrier, then it should be SIM unlocked, which means you can install anyone's SIM card and the device should work. NOTE - use of a SIM card implies you have a GSM-based Raphael. There are also CDMA Raphael's out there (for North American carriers) which don't use a SIM card.
In either case, if the device is unlocked, then you can go ahead and install any of the Raphael ROMS being developed in the Raphael ROM forum. Be careful, if you have a CDMA Raphael, go to the CDMA forum.
Security Unlocked is something else, and this is only required if you want to flash the RADIO from another device, such as the Blackstone or Quartz models. This, you have to get done by someone else. There is a sticky thread in the Raphael ROM forum where you can get more information.
Personally, I just stick with SIM unlock, since the Raphael-based radios are working just fine for me.
you should probably put hard spl on there just in case to be safe
Ok thanks than I am going to install a custom rom tonight.
Hope it works!
You need to flash hard spl before doing anything.
Oke, does any one know where this is explained?
So just a short explanation about what to do in what order to install custom roms etc...
Thanks a lot already!
Uh, try the noob flashing thread and the hard spl thread in the rom forum, and the flashing thread at fuzemobility.

ok seems theres an official update from HTC for our rogers phones anyone try it yet http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=270&act=sd&cat=2
Ooooh, eeenteresting....
Code:
Why is updating the software on your device recommended?
The ROM software update posted below provides several key enhancements for your HTC Dream:
-Improves the overall device functionality and stability
-Enables correct SMS timestamp [B]<<<<<<<<<<!!!!![/B]
-Enables Chinese character display for POP3 HTML Emails
-Corrects E-mail client exchange Issues
yes can it be timestamp fix heaven? lol.. just wondering if this is going to work for rooted or non 32a magic.. or both
The update pages says "HTC Magic (Rogers)" but when I stick in my S/N it says: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. Bummer since my phone and box say HTC Rogers on them.

ditto :/
i just got the S/N from the box as I didnt want to remove the battery.
yeah i noticed it also.. comes up when you select Rogers Magic.. but if you noticed in the notes.. some of which also posted above.. it says enhance dream isssues... will try my s/n and let you know
you can get the files from the rogers support page.. i used this link to get there http://www.androidincanada.ca/news/update-rogers-htc-dreammagic-android-timestamp-problem/
I have the direct link here:
http://downloads.rogers.com/wireless/products/htc/magic/RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Be careful as this update will more than likely install a Perfect SPL on your device. You will need to re-root your device after installing this. Could be a painful process.
I'm going to wait for somebody who knows what they're doing to remove the important bits from this update.
Cheers!
my thoughts exactly.. the way they have been putting the perfect spl on devices that didnt have it.... I tried it ( im running Jacheroski 2.7.4r2) and it didnt even recognize my phone. I was reading on the HTC site that you need HTC sync software first... thought that was for hero.. anyways.. have to run out for a bit will check back later... on a side note.. if this actually unroots your phone and puts the rogers apps back on .. couldnt someone tweak this up date and make it a restore rom?
I can confirm that it installs a 'Perfected SPL'.
Version 1.33.0010 to be exact.
Proceed with caution! I read through some posts on how to root these devices with 1.33.0010 and I really wouldn't want to have to do that.
I haven't installed the ROM image, and I won't.
After running the RUU (before you even click Next or accept the terms), you can find rom.zip in "%TEMP%\{F313B180-FF83-48A8-B925-E14312A5AFCB}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}"
I'm sorry if this isn't being asked in the correct place but as this thread is already discussing the new ROM update I was hoping that someone here could please tell me whether or not this ROM update would SIM relock a SIM unlocked Rogers Magic phone?
I am asking because I should be recieving my new unlocked Rogers Magic (that I am going to be using on AT&T) any day now and while I wouldn't mind updating it with the new ROM I really don't want to go through the expense and hassle of having to SIM unlock it when part of the reason I bought the one I did on ebay is because it is already SIM unlocked. Thanks in advance for any information on this.

I really doubt it will. I don't know exactly how SIM unlocking works, but this update shouldn't touch those settings.
Why run the Rogers update with all of it's restrictions and crappy software? Download and install any one of the dozens of better ROMs available in this forum.
First let me admit that I am a total NOOB with Android and even the idea of flashing custom ROMs on cellphones (the phone I am upgrading from is an 8525 and had an 8125 before that and the only time I remember flashing either was updating the official ROM to 6.0 off of HTC's site). I guess this makes me a little behind the times but my idea of customizing was installing programs like Pockets Plus and then Mobile Shell 3 because I'm not a programmer and was a little intimidated about cooking the ROMS.
That said I was thinking of running the stock ROM atleast for a little while to get an idea of just what I like and don't like about it and then being more knowledgeable when I research what ROM I should upgrade to? Is there a list of the ROMs and what their customizations are for the Rogers version? Do you have any advise on what ROM's I should look at and what the differences are?
I'm afraid that I will be somewhat overwhelmed with the number of choices to be made. Besides, I use my phone on my job so I can't risk it having issues or having to reinstall everything on a regular basis so continually flashing it with new ROM's as they come out may not be a logical solution for me. I think I'd rather end up with something stable and able to use all the programs, etc that I need for work and play. Anyways, any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Your best bet would be to start off by running the ROM that it comes with. If you've got problems with timestamps in the ROM, use a program called ChompSMS.
Read this forum, look for information on the 32A HTC Magic. That's the version you are getting. Learn as much as you can without changing your phone at all. Once you've got enough information start by 'rooting' your phone, then play around with some custom ROMs.
Lots to learn around here. Make sure you use the search function.
The following link was made by skittleguy to try to combine all compatible roms for Rogers. There have been quite a few changes to most of these ROMS but you can go to each original thread and read up on different ROMs and their advantages and disadvantages. I believe most of the original threads are being updated from time to time, but you can always just do a search for the name of the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534464&highlight=repository
Personally if you want one that is stable and has all of its features working, I would go with Cyanogen's ROM v4.0.2 with Amon_RA'sv1.0.1 kernal. It is based of off MyTouch 3G. The link is below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544854
Having said that, there is one feature that I miss on this ROM, which is the smart dialpad.
T-mobile

Wrong thread, should post in ROM section.
You have a branded phone, these are official ROMS for unbranded phones, wayt till TM provides theire new ROM based on an official HTC ROM.
Or HSPL your phone (void warranty) and flash away
Had the same problem and flashed the latest ROM using SSPL. It was quite painless and the HD2 works fine. Do a search for SSPL or HSPL in this forum and all will be explained.
good luck
Why is it necessary to download the new rpm. I have the same problem. Just curious. My phone seems to be working nicely.
Use the below link to get the ROM and then grab a Goldcard and put the ROM on. Or you can follow the HSPL route instead if you prefer.
Will probably invalidate any TMo warranty you may have so be aware.

Hi guys,
I have a quick question.
Do I need to reflash HardSPL if I want to flash a new ROM? I already flashed my Touch Pro with HardSPL and then flashed it with ProVEN 2.4
However I want to flash my phone with a more updated rom. Since I don't want to brick my phone, I would like confirmation if reflashing of HardSPL is required before I upgrade from ProVEN 2.4 to a newer rom?
No, that's why it's call hard spl.
No need to do it...your good to go
Is there any rom that is top rated right now? I am wondering which one is the best one best on feedback.
