radio & gps question. - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

I have been doing a lot of reading on this topic and need some advice. I have found a lot of information on this site and ppcgeeks, but still havent found a true answer. I currently have the xv6900 with verizon stock rom which i upgraded earlier this year and i let customization run(not knowing that it screws everything up with gps). My current radio is 3.37.78 which I've read isn't bad but again I want gps since verizon disabled it. I've read the gps fix and I'm confident to do all that is required to make it work that I got from here
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
My question is since i have the radio which some people have and like and i do everything thats supposed to be done and end up with the same radio, can I unlock with 2.31 coke Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78 do not let customization run then flash NFSFAN's custom wm6.1 rom and do agps fix. Will that work?
I dont want to down grade my radio to just upgrade it again if i dont have to and I read that someone did just that and got it to work. Many thanks in advance

Read my GPS fix Thread in my sig below

you have to downgrade your radio to a pre-gps one. Just unlocking & reflashing the stock rom is not enough.

Well i got my Orange SPV M3100 about a week and a half ago, everything was going fine, then i heard that windows has realised windows mobile 6, so i downloaded WMXDA 0.20 last week the phone was working good but in recent days everything just crashes, i would like to know if i should downgrade back to the orange setting and how that would be possible, or should i change the radio rom and how would that be possible? i have listed below the current setting/os of my phone and would be very greatful of the help that i recheve...
ROM version: 3.22.110.1
ROM date: 01/04/07
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
Thanks a ton in advance for the help!
if the phone was running ok but is now crashing it is probably some of the software you have installed. Try un-installing some (or all) of it or maybe even a hard reset.
Do you have any apps installed on the memory card. A lot of people are having problems with regular lock ups and freezes if apps with a today plugin are installed to memory card.
Also it seems that many people are having problems with certain spb software.
Would recommend a hard reset and then install your apps and test one by one to find the culprit.
S.K.
cheers guys...could you let me know how/what i need to upgrade my radio rom? thanks

Dude, you just posted that your ROM was screwed and now you want to mess with your radio!! You really like to live on the deep end. I suggest you take some time and read the wiki. Its not just something experienced people say to newbee's, its something that can save you a lot of heart ache and trouble.
In my advice, you took the wrong steps. I flashed my device with the latest ROM from my carrier that had the radio that I wanted. THEN I flashed my device with the hacked ROM.

OK noobie first thing, Un-noobify yourself by
1) Reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 about what may likely happen if you do not arm your brain with enough imformation... trust me, it's worth spending the time reading.
2) Hard-SPL your phone with Oli's bootloader, if you do not know how, find the forum thread pertaining to it.
3) Upgrade your radio to 1.27, 1.35 or even try the new Trinity 1.38. (without writing over the 1.10 Oli SPL) If you do not know how the information is there in the WIKI. Apparently WM6 does not work too well with the older radios.
I ran XDA .20 on my M3100 fine with no crashes using both Radio 1.27 & 1.35. Just about to try the Trinity 1.38.
If you are tempted to miss any of the steps. DON'T. Happy reading.

Please help on rom and radio for 8525

i done cid unlock and sim unlock also installed Hard-SPL-v7 and have now download : Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.3_ATT_Full.rar: rom
does this have a radio on or do i need to install one
and also what order does have to be in like
install radio first, then the rom or the rom first then the radio
thank guys
I dont believe Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.3_ATT_Full comes with a radio. you should do a search on that to read whats in the rom. If you are going to upgrade the radio PLEASE make sure You read the Wiki on what to do( search under radio rom upgrade or something like that). Be aware that there may be a problem upgrading to radio rom version 1.5x and check to see what people in your area are using as it could impact on reception and battery life. IF you decide to upgrade the Radio rom, be aware that ANY problems doing so can brick you mobile & it isn't fixable... you can use the pda part, but not Phone. So saying, if you follow the instructions in the wiki you should have no problems. Happy Upgrading. (Read the wiki).
thanks ultramag69 for reply
what if i dont upgrade the radio can i just upgrade to rom ?
thanks
Yes you can just upgrade the OS.
It is not advisable to upgrade radio all the time, so if your current radio version you have works good in your area, then stick with it!
thanks ai6908 for the reply
tell what so good about radio i mean what does it do
and once i install Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.3_ATT_Full.rar

Radio improves your signal reception a bit, and it all depends on the area in which you live in too! I would suggest you upgrade your radio to 1.40 atleast. Radio links can be found in wiki.
thanks ai6908 for all your help i flash the rom and O.M.G what a diffence
i think i am going to play around with for while then do the radio.
once again thanks
Welcome to the wide world of ROM flashing.... Now you have to decide each time a new one comes out if you want to flash your rom......... Dont forget to thank the REALLY talented chefs who cook up these wonderful roms.

arg, flashed wm6....

hey guys, sorry in advance for the newb question.... ive been reading as much as i can about flashing.... long story short i figured it out got my wm5 flashed to wm6 (tytn I)
RUU_Hermes_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.54.707.3_6275_1.47.00.10_108_Ship
but... now im having call trouble. all my calls are going to voicemail before reaching me only 10% get through. im in full signal area. does the wm6 rom flash the radio as well? and if so does anyone know which rogers radio rom uses or even how to check the radio version? i see lots of ppl talking about it, but few how to find the version number, thanks in advance.
You may want to check the Wiki but I would definately upgrade your radio. That would most likely fix the issue. You can also try resetting and reinstalling the rom. Good luck.
so is that a yes on flashing a wm6 rom changes the radio? i still need to know where to check radio version. also ive searched the wiki up and down, but ill try again
also the wiki doesnt show my orignal software
1.34.631.14
or what radio stack it came with
Yes, flashing a WM6 rom will most likely change the radio. When you reboot your phone look at the very first screen and it should tell you the radio version. You should also be able to check while in windows under the settings / Device Information.
thank you. okay so im using 1.47.00.10 now.... does anyone know the standard rogers one? i guess i shoulda wrote all system info out b4 i flashed
it seems i found the orignal radio is 1.42 for rogers but it isnt on this site...
btw every wiki link on all the radios are dead...
okay update
so i got radio 1.48 which is supposed to be good working, and got the rogers cab and data working but my calls are still not coming through... under the call menu it says UMTS rogers but i think it should just be gsm.... anyone have any idea
fix: ended up flashing
HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108
fixed all the problems. if you have a rogers tytn i suggest staying away from the HK rom.
ty everyone

Take a look at the ROM package you are flashing...and USE CAUTION.!!!
Each time you flashed a new ROM you flashed a new Radio (not recommended frequently) , the radio you flashed which caused issues was 1.47.00.10, and notice on the official HTC ROM you flashed it includes radio 1.48.00.00. The ROM made no difference - do a bit more reading up sir since the radios are sepearate from most ROMs which are released on here.

please help

hi all i have a t-mobile compact iv but it is so slow (as i've read in other posts its to do with the rom).
as a newbie to all this i actually have NO idea what is going on but want to flash with a new rom.
can anybody suggest a suitable rom, and radio (not sure what this is) and also a guide would be magical.
will make a donation to the site if anybody helps me do this!!!!!
thanks alot
Jon
Hi, I'm not really an expert but I've successfully flashed several roms onto my diamond.
Firstly you should read a little over here and see what you must do first. Your phone is branded so you'll need to flash something called Hardspl (It probably unlocks the branded phone) and than you can go to the forum and look for a rom that you like and flash it following the instructions in the post of the above link. Radio rom is important for signal quality, gps signal and definitely battery time. Flashing is safe and easy if you follow the instructions and after you do it Bye

how to flash stock telstra to use optus

Hi All,
Sorry, there is so much information on this site, i'm lost.
Can someone please provide links to what I need to download and install to upgrade a stock standard telstra diamond touch so I can get it working correctly with Optus?
Thanks.
OK, i've upgraded the bootloader to the hard spl, and the radio version is already at 1.00.25.06 (do you think its worth downgrading to 1.00.25.05??)
Now, what's the most popular rom for the diamond? What do people suggest?
Thanks.

I'm using Dutty's ROM at the mement. But I will be using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438313
when its bugs get sorted out since its based on the Diamond 2 thingo or whatever so it'll have some new features.
I'm the same as you. Bought the Telstra Diamond and chucked in my Optus SIM. Pretty much just have to any ROM and you won't have to see the Telstra branding everywhere.
That ROM you linked looks rather spic. What issues are stopping you from flashing that ROM now?

To be honest I didn't find out about that ROM until just before I found your post, Mainly time has been stopping me and the hassle, and I read that there are some little bugs that it has when skimming through the thread but there was nothing that was bad enough to make me not upgrade. Just don't want to Flash to the ROM and then have a new revision come out two days later which is better.
Think I'll upgrade to this ROM right not though
Thanks for your post.
I decided to use the rom that you linked to, and found found it a 1000% improvement from the Tesltra one.
Only issue I have found so far is trouble connecting to wifi networks. Will have a bit more of a play soon.
Apart from that, it's good.
I 'downgraded' to the 1.00.25.05 radio and seemed to get alot better battery life from it.
Regarding ROMs, I agree almost anything is better than the stock Telstra one
