Methods to upgrade the Kaiser Radio - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

Hello,
I am the newbie of flashing cooked Rom in my Kaiser. I have checked the Wiki and flashed the cooked Rom successfully. Then, I found that I need to upgrade the radio since the version is too old (The Radio is for WM6.0 and the cooked Rom is WM6.1). However, the Wiki and some posts tell me to upgrade the radio by using the MicroSD card ONLY. Is there any method to upgrade the radio other than using MicroSD card?
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Jacky Luk

why would you need any other method?
i flash roms/splashes/radios using the sd card and think its the best way.

Because I do not have the MicroSD card in my hand now!

i think you can flash the radio the same method you flashed the rom...
or just buy the sdcard

Actually, can I use the generic Rom flashing method to flash the radio since I found that the downloaded radio contains the KaiserCustomRUU.exe and KAIS_1.71.09.01.nbh? In other words, can I flash the radio by executing the KaiserCustomRUU.exe when the Kaiser is connecting to the host computer through the Microsoft ActiveSync?

Run the radio file the same way you would flash your ROM from the PC. Make sure you are certain you have a radio ONLY file though. Or else you might just flash a new rom as well.

Thank you very much!

Why flash radio then do ROM mine works fine?

I just heard that you should flash the radio then install the ROM you want to put on your device, what is the reasoning behind this. I did it the other way around, install ROM then flashed my radio and everything works great?
It doesn't matter. Flash either way it'll work fine. Point is to have the correct radio supported by the ROM.
thank you sir
If you are flashing to a rom that uses the 1.27.14.09 radio, you should flash the radio before flashing rom.
I was flashing to Duttys daul touch v3 final rom, not sure if he uses that radio.

can you hard-spl a phone using an sd card?

would this be possible? it would be just like flashing a rom.
It depends...
For an install then, yes, it should be possible, what you would need to do is get a copy or your orginal shipped ROM, take out the OEM SPL and add the the Hard SPL to the image and flash that image via your SD card.
For an upgrade it is also possible, but requires a SSPL image to be created that is loaded to the SD card that boot's an SSPL and then flashes the Hard SPL from an Image. It has been done for the Kaiser, but it isn't easy work.
Neither of these are that easy, and I am not guaranteeing they would work :0

Flash ROM From SD Card?

Is it possible to flash a ROM Image from an SD Card like the Hermes?
It is supposed to load a valid signed ROM. I think the SPL will not allow to load custom ROMs. If you lookup the "Gold Card" related information it should work for the Tornado as well.
As we can SuperCID the Tornado, possibly it will also load any signed ROM. Not sure about custom ROMs. I tried it with the VOX and it only worked for signed ROMs. Never tried for the Tornado though...

Cant overwrite ROM

Hello Guys.
About a lot of months i flashed TPCs Stocklike Rom to my device. Now i thought it might is time for an update.
But i got a huge problem :
When Flashing an other rom the device comes to bootloader and starts transfer/unpacking/whatever up to 100%.
After that my old TPC Rom reboots again.
What can i do?
Very much thanks for help
Copy the new rom that you want to flash onto the root of your sd-card and rename it to kaisimg.nbh. Reboot your phone into the bootloader and re-flash. That should do it.
Try flashing back to your stock rom first.
I already tried flashing the stock... that did not work for me.
Blinkydamo i flashed using the SD Card. The Screenshows update success.
Then i do a softreset an the old TPC rom boots again.

Any other ideas how to solve my problem ?
Put your phone into bootloader screen and see what it says for hardspl, maybe you just need to upgrade your hardspl.
3.29 - Flashing a new HardSPL doesnt work too
Most ROMS don't have new boot screens, some of the Chefs cook them in but others don't, are you sure it isn't just the old boot screen you're seeing, if the ROM flash has reached 100 % the Flash must have worked ?

however,he says that he has flashed stock rom. stock rom changes splash with "smart mobility" black splash
Well is my phone unfixable ?
have you checked spl version in bootloader as denko7 said?
same problem
I am having the same problem.
MTTY says that BLOCK 1639 (0x667) is a bad block. Everytime I flash something (a new rom, stock rom, spl), it goes to 100% but it doesnt change anything as if i havent flashed. I am using TPC 11 rom, somtime it says that storage memory is full, and then when i do reset, everything is gone as if I did a master reset.
I am using TPC 11 rom
What SPL and Radio you have!?!?!
For me its spl 3.34 and radio 1.65.
i have HARD-SPL 3.29. Radio is 1.71.09.01
try to leave Sd card and flash with cable.

If you still have an old rom on your SD and put a new rom on there and try to flash, the phone will flash the first available file. If flashing using SD card , make sure that you have deleted all other rom image files first.
I was trying this how to :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371154
but the commands listed are not working for my MDA Vario III (T-Mobile Brand).
For me task 8 = Reboot
I found out, that task 28 = Format
I got following output :
Code:
Cmd>task 28
Format start
Storage start sector=0x84C0, total sector=0x125C0
Storage start block=552, total block=1175
Total Bad Block in CE: 3
Erase physical block from 845 to 1999
si backup: Erase physical block from 2032 to 2048
But even after that im not able to flash a new rom.
Was that the right format?

[Q] Flashing without Radio

Hey All,
This is my first post, and yes i have searched around xda to find an answer to my question, but nothing seems to suite exactly the response i am looking for, or better yet a solution.
I am currently trying to flash a custom rom however the rom comes packed with a radio in itself for my NEXUS S I9020A
My question is, I am satisfied with the radio i currently have, is there a possibility to flash a rom without the radio?
I tried unzipping the ZIP file and deleted the radio.img file that was in it. And re-zipped the file using my OSX standard zipping utility. However when i load it up and flash it through CWM, it says installation failed.
Any ideas or suggestions on how i could flash a rom by rezipping a ROM without radio?
i radio a required in order to make call and for data connection. why do you want a rom without radio?

Most likely because he is trying to flash a rom that contains a radio that is not compatible with his phone. If the rom does not contain a new radio, the old one remains on the phone.
A lot of people are doing this to get ICS on their 9020a using a modified rom from the 9020t (minus the radio).

Instead of messing with the custom rom zip file, why don't you just get the correct radio for your Nexus S I9020A phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 then put both the rom zip file & radio zip on your sd-card & just flash the rom first then radio whilst in cwm recovery!?
