Factory shipped ROMs have radio upgrade as well. If you just download and install one of the cooked ROMs, it only upgrades the OS part. So, to fix your radio issue, you have to download one of the radio upgrades and install it.

Maybe I am not being clear
Thank you for your response. I believe my sound problem is from having install the XDALive cooked rom. Which has the new radio installed. from reading the forums att has folded in the audio driver somehow into the radio...sleuths cooked rom states this in his thread. He called for the end user to downgrade the radio prior to flashing or you may have a sound problem. I am experiencing that sound problem and I just need to know how to downgrade from the most rewcent radio into a more usable one. thank you hope this helps

had the same issue
I had the same issue when i upgraded my radio to 27.14 with Dutty's Rom
use the below link to get the radio alone
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/

Had the same problem a couple of times

Easiest way is to simply download the original ROM for the Tilt (posted in sticky) and load it. The problem is in the old radio rom and the new OS ROM. Set them back to the orginal and then flash what you want. I'd recommend only using the ones Dutty or others have posted for the ATT versions.
Hope that helps.

You can also downgrade the radio itself. Verify that the ROM you're using doesn't require a new radio. Check out one of the sticky posts in "Kaiser Upgrading" on how to downgrade/upgrade the Radio only.

Stupid question time....
what exactly is the "radio"?

all right, first get hardspl, then go for the one with the radio... i suggest you research a little first.
w/o hardspl flashing a rom will screw up your tilt
fyi, the one without the radio (think of it as the drivers for phone calls) is for people who already have that version so it flashes faster

Do some reading...

I would strongly recommend reading the sticky threads posted at the top of the Kaiser forums, especially Kaiser upgrading, and the wiki pages before doing anything to your ROM otherwise you could pay dearly like many others in threads all over this forum.
Educating yourself, at least in reagrds to the basics, is wise.

Yes, I agree. I'm not trying to flame you, but judging from your questions it seems that you don't quite understand what you could potentially be doing to your phone. Many of the things discussed here can ruin your phone and no one will be able to help you fix it, not even the vendor you bought it from.

....But how can you tell your Tilt comes with radio/no radio, I think all tilt comes with the samething, thats what I dont get. so can you tell me where can I check the radio settings on mine

The radio refers to the reception that you get with the phone not actually like a FM/AM radio. Different radio versions work with different phones / ROMS's. The newest AT&T Build/ROM uses Radio 1.27.14.09. All other non-AT&T Builds/ROM use Radio's 1.27.12.11, 1.27.12.17, 1.27.12.29, 1.27.12.32. Maybe that will point you in the right direction.
YOu can check what radio version you have on your phone by going to Start > Settings > System > Device Information ...should say it right there.
Check out this video on how to do a HardSPL. http://youtube.com/watch?v=UaCt5pUn6iI You can get everything you need files wise and instructions by click on the HardSPL v1 in my signature block.

Changing the ROM of my kaiser...steps to success

Hi, first of all I tell you I'm new in this forum. Afterward I tell you that before posting this thread I read the different FAQs and guides posted hera and I search for my following question but I didn,t find any answer.
I want to change my original ROM that came with my phone but I have few things I want to know before beginning the process. These are:
1- Any ROM will work with my phone? I brought my phone from US and it was unblocked, so I can use it with any SIM from any company here, in Argentina.
The problem is that in the page where all the ROMs are described I don't find my ROM version. My ROM version is 1.82.707.0 WWE and the Radio Version is 1.27.15.32. The protocol version is 22.51.88.13W and the ROM date is 11/03/07. In the Model No it says "Kaiser". The most aproximate version I found in that page is 1.81.707.0 and the Radio associated with it is 1.27.12.11. What I want is to change my ROM to beging using WM6.1 cause the version of my WM is 6.0, but I don't know if I chose any of the ROM that are available or I have to take care of something I don't know.
2- Suposing I can chose any ROM available, is it convenient to use it with the radio that is associated with it or I have to continue using my radio version (1.27.15.32)?
3- If I change the ROM following all the steps that are described in other FAQs or threads, the phone will continue unblocked in order to be useable with any company or it will be blocked for a certain one, for example AT&T? Remember I am in Argentina.
4- How can I do to backup my current ROM and Radio so, if I have any problem I could restore it to my phone? It is supposed that if I do so (restoring the original ROM) the phone will operate as it's doing now, insn't it?
Well, that all for now.
Thanks a lot.
Guido.

My dear friend all the questions you ask have been asked many times and answered many times. I have a hard time believing when you say you have read everything .. because your post makes it obvious you haven't. Nonetheless i'll answer these questions here for you:

Yes "any kaiser rom" will work with your phone. But first you need to get Hardspl than you can flash any rom that is available here to your phone. Looks like you have a wm6 rom and wm6 radio. When you upgrade to wm6.1 you will need a wm6.1 radio. Most roms come with radios so you don't need to worry about this. If a rom doesn't have a radio the cook will specify that and most will often suggest which radios work best with their rom. To see a list of different radios available please check link in my sig for Alltheway's thread on radios.

i already answered this in my above answer. But to reiterate wm6 rom will work with a wm6 radio i.e what you already have; a wm6.1 rom WILL NEED a wm6.1 radio so it won't work with your current radio.

flashing a rom in no way changes the unlocked status of your phone.

umm okay you don't wana do this yourself as i don't think so you know how to. Most of the stock kaiser roms are available in the wiki and have links to download them. In the even that you want to return your phone back to its original rom you can download from kaiser wiki.
Secondly please do extensive reading... your post shows that you really haven't done your homework. A kaiser is a expensive piece of equipment and you definitely don't want to mess it up just because you were lazy and didn't want to first understand exactly what you were doing.
Having said that i wish you good luck and happy flashing.

Thesire...first of all I really appreciate your quick answers tomy questions. I have to confess I didn't think to get an answer so quickly.
Anyway, I have to tell you that I didn't write anywhere I had read "everything" as you say. Of course I didn't, all the time in the universe life would be enough to do it. But you can be sure I followed all the instructions that are posted to do before posting a new thread, and those include reading the FAQ of ROM Developing, seeing the charming video of "what to do before posting a new thread", search my questions, and I tell you I spent all the last thursday looking for any answer to my questions, but I didn,t find them. I am not saying that they are not, of course they may be, but I didn't find them. Perhaps, of course, it's almost sure is because I didn't know how to search. But I did it. I read about the different SPLs that I have to download, the different version of them I have to try if I have for ie. the blank display, etc.
Another thing, when you say that always I can have the posibility to restore my original ROM downloading it, I told that in the thread that appears all the ROMs my actual version is not there. So, I wonder where my ROM is comming from and who cooked it.
At last, but not for that less important, I want to really thank you for your and for the time you spent answering my questions. Just remember I'm a newbie and perhaps, someday I'll be answering a question from you in this theme or another, ie. communications!!! Also remember that for us, the people who don't have the english as our natural languaje, sometimes reading the posts can be a little difficult and can be reading something that is answering our question and don't actually realize it or don't understand it at all.
Thanks.
Guido.

HTC diamond 2 - advice on flashing a ROM and retaining operator settings

Hi,
I have a Dutch HTC diamond 2 and would like to flash the ROM to get windows 6.1 to work in English. I have never done this and have a couple of small questions i hope you guys can help me with. I have read some guides and i think i understand what i need to do:
1. install hard-spl 2. find a ROM (i will use a signed one) and install 3. update radio ROM if required.
The only thing im concerned about is i read in some places that i will lose my phone operator and MMS settings in the process - (i am on the dutch vodafone network). Can someone please advise me what details i need to record before flashing the ROM or if there is a program that can do this for you as i want to be able to easily use my phone without going back to vodafone afterwords!
Finally i would appreciate advice on a good ROM to use and a good radio ROM if anyone has this.
Thanks in advance!

hi,
Check theis thread out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509708
Its here you find the anser relating to you model of phone.
As for the operator settings - these are easy to put back, if the ROM does not do it for you.
I think all ROMS asr great in there own right - so try one, and if this does not suit your needs then flash another.
Good luck

Hi Mobucl
Welcome to XDA
I have a Diamond 1 and can't give you exact Details, but i doubt your phone will stop working with vodaphone network after you flash, Have a look in the Topaz Forum, it's near the bottom of the page
Goodluck
Badwolve1

Thanks
Thanks R3PUBL1K and Badwolve1 for you're advice, i will have a look and give it a go.
If i have problems ill be sure to post again as my girlfriend already mentioned that she wouldn't be 'too happy' if i brick the phone

Need Bloatware remover & list for Att Htc Warhawk

Hello, was wondering if anyone here has a list of the bloatware and files to remove from the htc pure, and how to customize the start screen and get rid of unused programs?

This has been answered before, but for the start menu, use the file explorer (I think ATT put it in tools) then go to my device > windows > start menu > programs. From there you can add or delete items from the start menu

i understand that it has been answered before, i have been searching all the forums and still have not found an actual solution! Pointin me in the right direction with a link would be appreciated.

Flashing a ROM is a little more indepth than just finding it.
Read the flashing guide from the Wiki.
Start here.
HSPL must be first!

ice thanks, but i have been there and nothing states HTC Warhawk (Pure), everything says TD 2 or Topaz. Been searching for 2 days, I need a specific pure rom! I have flashed new roms before on the Samsung Blackjack II. just need specific instructions and rom files to do it!

They're all the same. Topaz = Pure = Warhawk = TD2
If you're looking for a stock ROM upgrade, you have to do it from HTCs site with your S/N.
If you want to flash a custom ROM, once you're HSPL'd you can flash any ROM in the Topaz forum.

cool m8, thanks! Now does it update the radio, or do i need to flash the radio to the newest version

Cooked ROMs may contain a radio but usually not. It would be denoted in the title of the ROM, i.e., WM6_5_23541_4.49.25.91_TOPAZ
There is also a radio thread where the radio ROMs have been posted separately in the Wiki.
I have tried a few Topaz radios but have not noticed the difference I've noticed with flashing radios on other devices.
ps, there have been issues with HSPL so if you aren't able to flash per the instructions in that thread, you will need to download the autoinstaller and "make a donation" for it to work. They have been fairly slow to respond to requests as well.

Bruce any recommendations on a rom, i hear Dutty is good but does he do Pure or Topaz? And how do i choose the best one out of the list givin?
