I have limited experience with ROM flashing - so please pardon this question if it is dumb. I have searched but have not found a good answer to this question.
I have flashed to the latest Kavana ROM, and find it excellent. However, I still have my original T-Mobile (WM6) Radio onboard.
Can someone explain why the ROMs are being built based on the latest Brightpoint ROM but are not including that Radio version. 03.07.90 I believe is the radio version.
I even saw in a Wi-Fi thread where Kavana had actually recommended to someone to install that Radio on top of his ROM - but yet it is not part of the ROM update.
Is there a reception issue with that radio? OR, is there a problem with flashing radio ROMs?
Thanks in advance.
To be honest, i used to wonder why too, but if you just want a ROM and don't want to change your radio version (in case you actually have no problems with your radio version) then that's why they are split. Some people have side effects sometimes after updating their radio version. And if all ROMS had a radio, then you'd be stuck with whatever radio it came with. Now with the official ROMS they do have a radio included (most of the time) but a lot of cooked ROMs will exclude the radio simply to focus on the functionality of the device , not necessarily the device's connectivity
liverpool:
if you don't like the tmobile radio (who doesn't right?)... you could just flash the latest wm6 rom by HTC which is way better than the tmo rom and slightly better (depending on who you ask) than the rogers rom... which will give you the latest radio, and then flash with kavana's rom to get wm6.1 on there.
you can flash just the radio... but i think i read someone say that it causes problems with kavana's rom so best to just flash the full HTC rom and then upgrade to 6.1 from there.

Keats -- do you know what some of the updates to the radio are between the stock (v4.1.13.34_02.79.90 on mine) and the one included in the wm6 rom from HTC? When you say it's "better" -- how so? I have no problems with either GSM radio or wifi (though my signal strength was much better on ATT...)
not specifically. i think the radio differences just ammount to better reception in general. actual funtional differences have nothing to do with the radio and are specific to each rom.

Hello,
I just want to know what is the difference between ROM, Ext.ROM and Radio
I was checking imate site and found the new ROM which they say it's the original one but the Ext.ROM version in their site is newer than the one I have. The others (ROM, Radio) are the same.
Thats way I want to know the difference between these 3 things.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I'm running Kavana 080408 WM 6.1. I'm just wondering if that has the strongest, most stable radio available and if not, where can I find a radio upgrade/downgrade. Thanks!
I don't think the ROM has the latest radio firmware in it. Before I used the 6.1 ROM, I upgraded the radio using a file I found on this forum. Search around and you should find it. I would recommend using the search tool at the top of the page... that's how I found it.
That being said, I'm not sure that the radio firmware upgrade really did anything for me as far as reception goes, but I guess it is always good to have the latest version.
Hi boss i have herm 100 after flashing there is no gsm pls help me what is the next stage
You must test to flash a new ROM RADIO. (only a rom radio)..
You could try just a radio rom, or even an entire stock shipped rom.
Or better yet, Try the SHIPPED STOCK ROM... Yhis should stabilize any problem areas on the radio ROM as it was supposed to be there. Sometimes the updated stock roms will work too as the CID is the right one. Hard SPL gets you around needing the correct CID but I find it still lurks in the background waiting for problems like this...
Cheers...
try one of the above recommendations...
btw, what rom did you flash? do you have hardspl? what is your current radio?
I don't know if this is already posted, but I have found a WM6.1 ROM for the T-Mobile TP2. It's kind of old, from 4/2009 while the stock is from I believe 6/2009. I have tested it and it works.
ROM 1.12.531.2
Radio 3.44.25.17

Forget using this. It's missing alot if stuff, like the IM
Could be used for ROM cooking though
Hi there,
I am quite new to this HTC and WinMo world and have a question about radio versions:
Higher version numbers are always better than smaller ones? Or at least newer?
I have flashed Gen.Y R2.6 and the author recommends radio 1.13.25.24. My current stock is 1.00.25.08.
The higher one is better? How do i know that? Witch one should i use?
My device is the HTC Touch Diamond, BTW. Claro carrier, from Brazil.
Thanks in advance.

The radio you have it is maybe too old 1.13.25.24 is good when its recommended by ROM creator. I also have very good experiences with latest offical radio 1.09.25.23 and also with 1.15.25.14. On the other hand very bad experience with 1.17.25.09 radio. But I am from Europe...
After you install the new radio don't forget also to install appropriate rilphone for this radio, it is very important.
For more information search the radio thread, you can find it here.
