Factory installed software disappeared after a hard reset

After a hard reset in hopes of restoring the MDA to "factory settings" I lost a couple programs.
**"Voice Dialling"
**the program that shows the Battery Life and GPRS Usage
Does anybody here know on how to contact the mfr to get the original software from them? I would really like to reinstall it and restore it to the original settings.
The phone was supplied from T-Mobile (Netherlands) and then unlocked and now operating on the US Cingular GSM/GPRS network.
Any assitance would be greatly appriciated.

There are several extended ROM downloads available at the xda-developers site. Do a search. You can run the setup files to get the programs. However, you might want to go ahead and update your ROM while you are at it.

well i have the 1.13 t-mobile firmware on it... after i flashed that one the apps were lost. but i just found out theres a slightly newer 1.13 out noiw, so ill try that one.
Thanks for pointing towards the extended stuff, i was under the impression those things were standard on every mda/xda/jam etc. ill check those out im kinda new to this stuff

I feel kinda stupid... turned out those apps are just in the appsuite on the cd :x somehow they didnt install after i updated the 'firmware'. everything's okay now

Apache Radio Rom 1.43 for better signal

http://rapidshare.com/files/101857345/Apache_Radio_v1.43_Repack.rar

Is there a newer one than 1.43 ?

Thanks, I've been looking all over for this!

I went from 1.27 to 1.41 and then to 1.43 and never noticed any change at

I actually found that using 1.43 caused some stability problems. I also lost the ability to enter SPC codes.
I don't know for sure that it was the cause of these issues, but when I went back to 1.41, they went away.

Can someone point me to where I can download a 1.27? I am at 1.12, but the 1.43 doesn't work. I've got a 1.00 bootloader

reload the factory rom (comes with 1.27) and then update again to whatever upgraded rom you were using.

One guy posted a link to download it via rapidshare. But unless you pay, you will have to wait, can only download one thing at a time, and it is slow and it sucks. I have a link to it using drop.io. It is just like rapidshare meaning you have 100MB for a free account. No registration and you can make as many drops as you want and link them together. An endless supply of drops.
I had Raidio 1.26 and when I upgraded to 6.1 using the BuildOS, my radio wouldn't work most the time. And I couldn't bluetooth or beam anything. But now beam and bluetooth work perfect!
Here is the link. Fast downloads, no waiting. And short URL. http://drop.io/apache143

i had no idea it came with it, i for some reason have 1.00 running on mind and am afraid to change it because i had one bad flash and now it downst get recognized as a apache i have to use the apache noid RUU to flash things but it also when flashes goes to 99% then "fails" but had actually flashed it and the boot pic is the only thing that disaperes i want to flash the radio but dont know if its a good idea and which one to go, does any one know which is better in signal? if it helps i am running my own custom made 6.1 21015 SYS rom

Hi, I have Radio 1.17, I have a HTC Apache and I have two questions.
1. Can I put this version 1.43 to my phone?
2. Do I need to make a hard reset to the phone after the upgrade?, I dont want to loose my information and programs.
3. Actually I have problems with the bluetooth of my phone, I can't use the obex ftp service, do you think the problem will be solved installing this upgrade?
Sorry for my english
Best Regards

[Radio] Baseband 2.41.04.02.03 | For Fresh Rom 2.0b

Geek for Me is proud to release:
Updated Radio.img for Android 2.1 (radio version 2.41.04.02.03) for Fresh Rom 2.0b
Thanks to toast for the moral support, and for being the first to test this on his phone. Haha.
This has only been tested and confirmed as working on Fresh 2.0b
Flashing an updated radio will typically give you better battery life and better signal
This won't fix any current problems with the 2.x roms, but it will make your phone more effecient
Don't hold me responsible if you brick your phone
Don't flash this unless you have a CDMA Hero
I wouldn't flash this unless you are on Fresh 2.0b
In case you are wondering, our stock one is 1.04.01.09.21

So just a quick question, if I flash this and for some reason I want to restore back to a previous rom will this affect me from doing so?

howcome the version in your screenshot is 2.41.05.02.03 ?

its a typo mine matches the screen shot

Might this finally make my phone show its connected to rev. a? You know know that bug..

I am waiting on the answer about rolling back to 1.5 roms

@linkinx64 its a radio update. I dont see why i would be compatible....just saying.

LOL ... i get your point . I am just a little bit skeptical

well i flashed it, i got insurance.

Let us know if it makes a difference, please.

All the radios that flipz has just posted will work and not leave u with a brick. But... sometimes shot happens.

Ok flashing :-s
So far so good..someone in flipz website said that he is seeing a great improvement in battery life

Because the flashing process for a radio is a little different, I'm wondering if I went back to Fresh 1.1 if this radio will work or if I'll have to flash a different radio? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wiping data/flashing roms does NOT change the radio, and it's like a separate firmware entirely...?
I'm leery about flashing if I have to go back to 1.5 and not having a correct radio or not being able to downgrade.

I was thinking the same. but radio should not have anything to do with the ROM, besides I am staying 2.1 until the official release

I flashed without any issues. Just make sure you have some battery life left.. probably wouldn't want your phone dying in the middle of this.
Looks good so far to me. As I said, my battery life was already noticeably improved just by updating from 1.5 to this ROM, would be great if this increases it's longevity even more!
Thanks for all the work Flipz/Toast!

Seems to be working just fine on 1.5 Rom. I will update if I experience anything bad.
Great job Flipz!

[HOW TO] Get MNS WIRED TETHER working on DamageControl v2.6

Hi!
I can't take credit for this solution... someone else posted it here, but I can't remember where or who this awesome person is. If that person sees this thread, please let me know so I can edit this post and give proper credit... because you're a life saver to anyone who wants to use DamageControl ROMs but needs MNS wired tether working.
I have posted this as a separate thread because this seems to be a hot issue which frequently comes up, and so many people don't search the forums well.
1. Completely wipe your phone in recovery. (Factory/Data, Dalvik, and SD Ext)
2. Install DamageControlv1.1beta5 and reboot after the install, verify in Settings>Software that your PRI is 2.11_002.
3. Reboot to recovery, wipe everything again (although you don't have to wipe SD-Ext, but you should always wipe Data/Factory and Dalvik) and install whatever ROM you want that doesn't usually allow MNS, such as the newest version of DamageControl.
4. Once you're up and running with the ROM of your choice, check to make sure your PRI is still 2.11_002.
5. Plug phone into USB and select Internet Sharing.
I have found that sometimes you have to plug it in a couple of times for the PC to authenticate, but I think that might be a PC issue of mine and not a phone issue.
I can verify that this method does enable MNS wired tether on DC v2.5 and DC v2.6. However, I am not sure if/what other side effects might come from having the 2.11_002 PRI. Market works for me still, Sprint Apps still work too, but there may be other things that don't like this PRI. For example (thanks Flipz for the clarification), PRL will not auto update with this PRI. But if the most important thing to you is MNS on a DamageControl ROM, then this is the way to go.
*Don't flash a ROM that automatically fixes your PRI though, or else all of the trouble you're going to will be undone!
Link to DamageControlv1.1beta5 which contains the PRI you need... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652564
ROMs that I can verify have MNS Wired Tether Internet Sharing working using this procedure
DamageControl v2.5
DamageControl v2.6
DarchLegend v5.0

I can confirm this works with DC 2.06, thanks for posting! I went from Flipz 2.0D with his proprietary PRI and MNS didn't work. I couldn't get MNS to work on DC2.06 or DarchLegend 5. My normal PRI is/was 1.70_003 which I understand is one of the culprits responsible for the error 67 message when trying to access MNS. MNS did work great with that PRI on DarchLegend 4.2.2 however.
With the new PRI I am back to the network being "unknown" and no Sprint designations on the lockscreen or task bar. Haven't tried any of the updates (PRL is currently at 60663) but I can update that manually by nandroiding back to a 1.5 rom.
Not sure what other evils may arise due to the new PRI but having MNS working is pretty awesome.

ive been gone for a while, and with all the drama i missed its hard to sift through a search. after trying all the new roms, i ended up with flipz pri. could someone point me to where i might be able to obtain the standard one?
i thankyou most kindly

The updated PRI sometimes breaks Sprint applications. We reverted to have Sprint show up as the carrier again.

Well, flipz's pri I think is the same as 1.70_003, just renamed in the menu.
You could do the pri reset with your msl to get it back to 1.70_003 though

So far, so good with the new PRI. Market works, Sprint Nav works and everything else 'non-Sprint' works. I don't use TV, NFL, Nascar (uninstalled all of them anyway) but best of all, MNS works. I'll keep playing with it and update as neccesary.

Quick question, for MNS, would I have to use USB-tethering app?

Unless you're talking about the default menu that pops up when you plug the phone into the computer via USB (the one that gives you four options - charge only, htc sync, disk drive, internet sharing), then no, there's no additional app to download or install in order to make this work. Should be native in any 2.1 ROM.

Oh ****, I should have realized that, the default menu. Thanks. There aren't any problems like the older versions of MNS (like on 1.5), where you have to try and beat the network connection so you can tether, right?

not if you're using the wrong pri
it should work fine.

im curious if this method would work on fresh 2.0d... i know when you "flash" it your pri gets fixed, but what if you flashed DC, thus fixing your PRI and then restored the fresh 2.0d nandroid?

That should work since the nandroid won't touch the PRI

I was going through this procedure last night and the same thing happened to me. I did steps 1 and 2 a second time and after that the PRI was set to 2.11_002.
And thanks for the directions OP! This is the first time I've had wired tethering working on my Hero (without a paid application)

i would like to add that this does work on fresh 2.0d... but for some reason my nandroid wouldnt restore correctly, i had to restore an older nandroid and i lost a couple things

I'm building a feature in to the kitchen that will let you easily switch between PRI's. I know I've said that somewhere else but I don't think I did in this thread. So keep an eye out for that.

[Q] Think I Need Help

I have been searching forever and can't find my issue. I have rooted with the installer kit, flashed LeeDroid, Everything went fine. After reboot my inspire doesn't have Mobil Network. Sorry if this has been answered but maybe I'm not searching the right ?. Been at this for a few hours now and what to be done with this so I can set this thing up. I think it might have to do with radio but iffy to proceed till someone can conform thats it.
Thanks in advance.

Have you checked your apn settings?

Yes just from another post here. Tried with no help. Maybe need a better post.

Try pulling the battery for five min. Then replace it and turn back on. If that doesn't work check the thread for your rom. Make sure that your using the recommended radio with your rom. If it is and your still having the same prob I'd say reinstall the radio and rom see if that helps. I haven't had this problem before and don't use that rom. But just bouncing some ideas around to see if I cant help you figure it out.

First things I would do, check the sim make sure it is in the phone properly. pull the battery. I did notice that you are not running the recommended radio for the rom, you should flash the radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 as that rom has the ril for it, if that dosen't work, reflash the rom.
