Hi Guys =) This is my 1st post

Hi Guys, I own a Dopod 818Pro (G4). I have this problem now, It seems that my Prophet is running abit slow till I find it laggy. I am using the orginal ROM since day 1 I brought it. From the specification from Dopod webby, it tells me Flash ROM 128MB/SD RAM 64MB. Do I need to unlock the Flash ROM before I upgrade to the ROMs posted here. And also how do I go about it if I wanna flash a ROM to my Prophet. I read up many thread but all they say is about the ROM posted. I really hope someone can guide me into flashing a new ROM for my Prophet. Thanks a million guys.
Regards

Read wiki.
Choose the ROM you'd like to use and read the instructions provided in the topic regarding that specific ROM (there's no need to unlock for upgrading most roms).
Don't start a new thread, just because you're too lazy reading the existing ones. Your question has been asked about a 1000 times before. Just use the (advanced) search function..

I would recommend the latest official ROM for the Prophets which were released by Qtek. It's based on WM5 and has the version 2.20. It's stable and fast and already has lots of bugs fixed. I dont recommend a WM6 upgrade for beginners yet. Before upgrading make sure you installed Active Sync and fully charged your device. Then just proceed as the upgrade program instructs you. Always keep in mind that flashing a ROM file not ditributed by your phone provider/company may result in a guarantee loss. Also be aware that flashing sometimes might totally destroy (brick) your phone.
Good luck and a nice welcome to the forum

Radio Update - need help pls

Hi all,
just bought my kaiser, i was previously using blueangel so i have some idea about how to upgrade.
since i'm new to this section and been trying to access wiki but i can't, just need someone to point me to the latest or "best radio rom" so far, a link would be much appreciated.
here's my ROM info.
ROM: 1.81.415.4 WWE (original shipped ROM)
ROM date: 10/29/07
Radio Version: 1.27.15.32
Protocol Version 22.51.88.13H
thanks guys

All depends on the ROM you decide to download too...
if your going with the newest 209 or 213 rom you need a 1.65 radio but not the 1.65.17 RADIO
Matter of opinion. I am using 1.65.14.06 and love it

There are a couple of stock radios to be found on the forum. mostly 1.27.x.x
be sure to read about HardSPL.

the thing to keep in mind about radios is that wm6 radios work w/ wm6 only and wm6.1 radios work w/wm6.1 only. if u want to keep ur stock rom (wm6) than any wm6 radio will be fine. like abov poster said make sure u get hardspl first be4 u do any flashing also be careful as there are some radios that lock u meaning once u flash it u can't change it ...
unless u r security unlocked.
being new to kaiser i would highly recommend a complete read of kaiser wiki.
peace,
sire

Can someone please explain about radio

I ve just flash Duttys roms which has a radio 1.65.14.06
mine had 1.27.12.11 before the upgrade
do i have to flash back my radio 1.27.12.11 or doe,nt it matter, if someone can please explain
thank you

nope u don't need to .. plus it won't work as that is a wm6 radio

Thanks thesire for fast reply
one more question if i flashed a dutty`s diffent rom with a diffent radio would that make any diffence
thanks again

pretty much all of dutty's roms include a radio that is compatible with that rom and also dutty typically lists any radio that won't work with rom.
if the radio that came with rom isn't working well for u in ur region than i suggest flashing a different radio.
just beaware there is a radio out their that locks itself to ur device meaning it won't let u upgrade or downgrade from it unless u use a program by jockyw called frankenkaiser.

thanks again for fast reply thesire
Wow i did,nt know that thanks for the info just getting use to this flashing rom
if i flash another dutty rom can i just flash it over it or would i need to downgrade or not am just open to install any rom no matter what version like windows 6 and windows 6.1
thanks again

Yeah 1.65.17.10 at&t original radio aka the radio from hell... although Jocky has tamed the beast...

as long as u have hardspl flashed to ur device u can upgrade/downgrade between wm6 roms and wm6.1 roms.
just to avoid conflicts though always hard reset ur device after a rom flash.

Thanks to all for reply

Here's another simple question from a relative noob:
I've read so much out there about radios, but I want to try some of the new 6.1 ROMs out there but am not sure about which radios would be compatible with my AT&T Tilt. I'm currently on the 1.27.14.09 and in cowardly fashion have tried the ROMs built for this one, are there specific radios that I should be looking at that will be compatible? I saw the wiki on kaiser radios, but they don't factor in the 6.1's yet.
any info/clarification is very much appreciated.

yup, that clarified it....feel rather foolish as I'd seen and read that... so if I'm understanding the whole radio subject, of those 6.1 AT&T compatible radios, it's just a matter of finding the one that gives me 1) no issues, and 2) the best reception, etc. And this is just a matter of experimentation....
Good grief, so much to learn, so many ROMs to try.... hmmm, working from home and playing with ROMs, is it surprising that I'm having a tough time getting anything done????

Just one last question....
I switched from the AT&T 1.27 radio to the 1.65 (as noted below). Last Tuesday I sent a couple of text messages and left two voice mails and none of the txt msgs were received and the vm's took almost three days to be delivered.
Would this just be an issue of the area I was in (Denver, CO) that week (I live in Nevada) or could this be a radio issue?
Thanks for any input/insight..... I LOVE THIS PLACE!

All version are available here
HTC PROPHET RADIO ROM
Have a nice day.

upgrade radio rom 2.07.20 to 2.19.21 ?
Hello varanusvincent,
....can you tell me if after i upgrade my Radio vers. 2.07.20 to the 2.19.21 or other else, it's necessary a Hardreset or softreset?
thank´s in advance for your possible help.
My hpone is a Qtek S200 and have this config:
rom vers: 2.9.7.24 wwe
rom date: 2/9/06
radio vers: 02.07.20
protocol vers: 413.1.03
extrom: 2.9.7.9405

softreset is automatically.
no need of HARDRESET.
But if you want, it is better.

hello again,
.....thank you very very much for your help varanusvincent, but if you don't mind i would like to ask you one more question (kind newbie here), if i upgrade my radio version wil i loose all my contacts, sms, and other information on my pda or SD ????????
thanks once again !!!!

no you will not, this just upgrades the radio rom, not the 'full rom' as it were

good morning,
...thank you very much wanwarlock for your precious information. Now i can upgrade safely ...............!

Heya
What's the purpose of upgrading the radio rom? Will it give my prophet 3G network compatibility or something? Do you mind writing just 1 line of the benefiits of upgrading for each of your ROMS? I find you have contributed a lot but I just dont understand it. I've read the wiki too. I'm still using default ROM 2.15 with WM5

Flashing a Radio ROM will upgrade the software used for call handling, bluetooth and WiFi. It will not give you any functionality like 3G, but may increase Reception, and reliability of other Radios. It may also alter battery life.
If it's working fine at the moment, there is no real need to upgrade.

I'm download this Radio Rom and hoping it'll cure my problem.
How do I flash this Radio ROM? Do I use the Wizard Service Tool V4? A amature question so please bare. Unless it has its own execution then disregard my question

I enter the phone into Bootloader and ran Radio ROM 2.19.21 which is what I had original and program indicate "Error [300]: Invalid Update Tool. This update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get a newer Update Utility."
So I tried other version and getting the same message. I'm very confused, plz help.

IT"S FIX!
I simple use the Prophet Tools Light and it worked! everything back to normal!
Thanks a lot to the author of that software.

If I'd been awake I would have tried to help... Glad you got your problem fixed.

Radio Rom Breakdown
Guys.. I understand that what the radio rom is for... Wifi, GSM, Bluetooth etc.. and that 2.19.21 is THE recommended 1.. but.. can someone please explain why? whats the difference between 2.19.21 and the latest 2.69.21 etc? If someone can post a brief guide on the pro's and con's of each radio rom then that would be great! Im particularly interested in a rom that gives the best wifi distance if anyone can recommend one? Also.. If I upgrade the radio rom will that affect my ability to access certain networks in in different countries? Im in South Africa would like to continue being able to use it in South Africa.. but would like longer wifi range if possible.. Thanx

I recommend it, because last time I test it. This RADIO ROM is more stabil and has aa good battery usage.
But If you think that 2.69.21 is suitable for you. You can use it too.

Oh ok..
Thnx Varanusvincent.. so i take it that upgrading the radio rom wont have an effect on which countries I can use the phone in? See the last time I tried to flash a fone it ended up only being able to work in Canada! Oopz Dnt Ask! Hehe
Anyway, it just seems to me that the reason people create upgrades is to increase stability rather than decrease it and maybe provide new features.. I doubt that radio roms will provide new features.. but I am hoping for longer wifi range no matter what the battery drain may be.. so think i'll just take a chance this weekend and play around with the radio roms and see what happens then.. Thanx vincent!

How to Select the BEST SPL that matches your ROM

How to Select the BEST SPL that matches your ROM
When I was reading the SPL Frequently Asked Question in the wiki.xda.developers I started to search on the topic more and more; I kind of got obsessed with the issues described there by bengalih such as battery drains, power issues, screen freezing see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396235
I decided to shift from Hard SPL to Shipped SPL I was running shipped WM 6.0 [1.81.415.2 (radio 1.27.12.11)] at the time. So used the pre-made SPL file manufactured by sirsycho http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 to return to shipped... my phone screen lagging got better and battery life improved slightly… the problem however persisted…
I flashed several ROMs Shipped/Cooked and kept moving between Hard SPLs and Shipped SPLs… my obsession has grown more with performance and between the relationship between SPL and ROM… I even posted a thread but it was closed as being redundant information
Last week I decided I will start doing some real experiments using sirsycho’s excellent guide… I was ripping the Shipped SPLs from Shipped ROMs and flashing them simultaneously trying different Hard SPLs on the Shipped Roms
I was noting the version numbers and apparently a very obvious correlation existed between the version of the SPL and the best ROM. I have observed that the first four characters (I am counting “.” as a character) must be the same to obtain the best ‘marriage’ between your ROM and your SPL
e.g.
If you have the Shipped ROM 1.81.415.2 (radio 1.27.12.11) your best SPL will be 1.81.0000
If you have Shipped ROM 1.56.405.5 (radio 1.27.12.11) your best SPL will be 1.56.0000
If you have Shipped ROM 3.29.707.0 (Radio 1.65.16.25) your best SPL will be 3.29.0000
Now transferring this knowledge to cooked ROMs your base ROM version will determine the Hard SPL you must use. Thus, why HardSPL v3.07, v3.28, v3.29 and v3.56 by JockyW2001 are recommended for WM 6.1 the next question that this thread is attempting to answer is which Hard SPL must be chosen
Concluding Remarks,
To Revert back to Original ROM and Original SPL (Make sure you get the right Couples) for warranty purposes
Cocked ROMs must get the best Hard SPL match for optimal performance
Don’t mix AT&T ROM with htc SPL or vice-versa (I did not try that but I assume poor performance)
Such information might be useful for Hard SPL developers – obviously it seem a new Hard SPL will be needed with each kitchen
Moderators
I genuinely have searched the forum very well before posting and never found any obvious information as described here

GREAT post, can someone sticky?
there really is some great information in here that i will also test out

This is how Jocky created the new 3.xx HardSPL's. He ripped the original SPL from known good ship ROMs, and cracked them.

I use HardSPL 3.56, ripped from an AT&T base, with all custom ROMs I flash. There are no performance issues with HTC-based ROMs. All of the chefs will list the recommended SPL version in their threads, and they rarely match the SPL of the base they used.
-Edit-
Bengalih created an SPL thread covering this information back in May. But your thread seems to be more concise.

This is still very very useful and provides a nice summary and insight into SPL choices. Well done!

Mr. NotATreoFan
Hello ...
Definitly - JockyW did an excellent job in ripping the original SPLs and cracking them - i was just trying to highlight that SPL/Hard SPL version mut match ROM choice
Cooked ROM and SPL - Chefs don't always point to best matching SPL
About performance - i disagree with you and multi-tasking is the real test if a person use a bad match device becoming sluggish
As for AT&T SPL with htc i was just predicting, i did not tried this [but i do trust your experience]
Battery drain is another issue - i assure you if you use the best match power consumption (standby) increase - i will try to run a benchmark if time allowed
After all - any Hard SPL will work with any ROM (cooked or shipped) it will only need an obsessive person to complain about performance
Thanks for your insight

Not to be rude or burst any bubbles......
The info you provided is great, if you're flashing BACK to the official ROM for your device or carrier.
If I'm not mistaken, all official ROMs when flashed.....will change the SPL to what it's supposed to be. When doing a warranty return, the last step is removing the HardSPL.
Back to the question of the thread:
How to Select the BEST SPL that matches your ROM ?
The chef should/will tell you within the 1st 3 threads, if not....that would be a valid question to ask that chef in the appropriate thread.
Your SPL needs to match the ROM Build for best performance.

Exactly what I said, with the exception of your last sentence. Generally I would agree with you, but for whatever reason, my personal experiences with 3.56.Hard have been the best, regardless of what build the ROM came from.

hello...dwny...
yes - in most cases chefs will point to the best spl when they release a new rom - we are all aware of this fact (but let me ask this question, how many of us using the best spl? dude up to a one month time i was using Olipro Hard SPL with wm 6.1 and i was not the only one for sure... read the signing remarks of people and u will see them using bad spl, bad radio, with a good rom) pls look next time at this BTW my devices info ar out of date
this thread is aimed to answer the question [How to Select the BEST SPL that matches your ROM ?] by each one of us, as i have demonstrated above!
i will try to PM the figures of hard spl (Olipro and JockyW) to get their engineering knowledge on what performance aspect we speak about here.. spl (hard spl) is what save our devices from bricking and apparently it does morw than this - so lets have a better understanding of it

HardSPL allows us to flash whatever ROM we choose & will not uninstall with a flash
The best SPL is the one that comes with the base of the cooked ROM (so they say).
Due to screen freezing, matching the SPL w/ROM became the standard.
I, myself noticed differences when applying the standard. Before then, it was a crap-shoot. We all kept flashing or just dealing with the screen freezing.

I've been on 3.56 for a while also but the ROMs I've been on required it also except for one ROM and it didn't lockup on me.
