Perhaps you have not noticed this is an HTC devices forum only, however in off topic there is a thread about samsung...
Good luck,

Having Trouble Ugrading My Tmobile MDA to Windows 6 found here

Hello all! I'm new here and I recently became an owner of the Tmobile MDA. My problem is I try to upload that new ROM on to my MDA but instead of restarting after the completion of the update, it continues to show the 3 colored screen. I need help because I have no clue what's going on with this phone right now. Can someone help me fix this! Thanks

ok, i had looked at it earlier and there's some things that I don't understand. I just called Tmobile to see if they could do a master reset and that was no luck. so my phone is totally screwed right now and i really need help....
Did you read any of the upgrading stickies? If you didn't understand what to do, why did you proceed?
Re-read the upgrading stickies, then grab the T-Mobile carrier ROM, get into the bootloader, and reflash the carrier ROM. Just so you know, T-Mobile will not help you if you tried upgrading to WM6. You are on your own as far as they're concerned.
ok so how do i flash to my phone
This will be the only freebie I give you. After this, it's up to you to actually do some research.

After reading that and doing some basic research on this and and upgrading board, if you can't figure out how to flash your phone back to the original carrier ROM you need to find someone who can and pay them to fix it.

Rom vs Radio?

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

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....

Question regarding returning phone under warranty

I have an Alltel Vogue that I need to send back under warranty due to a screen issue/blemish that is affecting functuality of the phone. I have loaded a different ROM and my question is do I need to reload the stock ROM before I send it back? Please advise as I need to send back this Friday. I have hard set the phone. I appreciate any guidance.
Thanks, Scott

Loading a cusom rom and custom Spl voids your warranty. If they find it on your phone, they will not honor your warranty. Your two choices are to send it back as is and hope that they do not check ( potentially expensive gamble .) Or to retun it to original rom and Spl.
Thanks for responding. How do I return it to my orginal ROM? Where can I find it and know it is what was on my phone. I appreciate your help.

I am sorry if this sounds insulting, it is not meant to be, but you just dove right in with no clue ? Flashed a custom spl and custom rom with no idea what your stock rom was or how to go back ? Or did you just upgrade with another Altell rom ?
Look here for the stock rom
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=19071
It was not a rom that was cooked by someone. It was from the HTC website listed as an upgrade for Alltel Vogue. It upgraded the ROM and Radio to include evdo and gps. The rom is no longer listed on their website. My thoughts are to send it as is. Do you know if this type of upgrade would void my warrenty? I appreciate all your help.
if it's an htc rom, you should be fine.
Thank you for your assistance

Do I need to reflash HardSPL if I want to flash a new ROM?

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.

all roms are good...just different configurations...it's your job to find the one that is best for you based on your needs...read carefully and try a couple...just make sure it's for your phone ..gsm or cdma

[Q] first htc phone need some advise with radio

ok guys im just got this device and i'm coming from the G2X and im confuse with every rom thread talked about radios. (yes i searched)
idk if you guys know but we dont use radios on the g2x!
and i dont really wanna brick my phone. ok i have the RevolutionHD 3.6.2 beats
and i have the radio that they talked about
right now im flashing roms to see witch one i really like but do i have to flash radios everytime i flash a rom?
and what the stock one?
thank you in advance
It's usually a good idea to not change Radio Firmware unless you have problems.
That said I don't understand the suggestion by for example ARHD to update to a specific radio version, but you'll definitely not need to change Radio Firmware for every new ROM. Once you have the latest and greatest you'll not need to change it anymore. (At least if you don't have problems)
great thanks for the quick reply. do you know witch one is the lates radio?
