Why Upgrade Radio Version? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi everyone,
Been using my BA for years now(4th one so far ) runing Sundreams 6.1 with radio version 1.06.02
Rom 6.141WWE HT4.20
ExtROM Black Kernel
rom Date 10/31/08
I know the latest radio version is 1.15 and here is my NOOB question
should I upgrade my radio version to 1.15 ???and BT version to whatever is latest or availabe??
I just dont know why?
Have no problem with it as is other than all the usual 6.1 glitches(wlan/ no radio after battery removed)
OOh right While I am asking, Why an earth I loose voip config after a soft reset? I use wm6 voip drivers and Sip conf tool by Shaun33 version 2.0.1 once i configure it works ok if I soft reset I have to re enter all the config via this tool otherwise no voip!! Any ideas?
many regards

It has some advantages (especially over the one that you have). Better voice quality, better signal, slightly better battery life, among other things.
As far as the voip, I cannot help you there, but if you go to the thread where you got this, I am sure someone had your same issue.

Thanks for your reply, Can radio be upgraded regardless of the windows version running. I have all the files to do the upgrade but not sure if its ok to do so whilst running wm6.1 Sundreams version or does it needs to be reverted back to wm2003 etc etc.
Thanks

the radio rom is independant from the OS Rom. technically, you don't even have to hard reset afterwards.

hi, what are diference between my ROM and your adviced ROM ver ?
Hi, i used to use your rom before my current and it was quite a good rom but the aku2 rom i suggested is better
1. Has push email - so your email arrives in a way that your sms's does, almost instantly.
2. Rom is more stable - no more spontaneous soft reset's or dropped calls
3. Battery life is noticeably better.
4. Device is a bit quicker
5. Calls using the phone are better because it has an updated radio.
6. Downside is 2 line date - can be sorted with lvmtime and battery on taskbar - can be covered with same program.
hope that helps

Hi ,
Is this the latest normal rom, i mean not tweaked, tinkered or modified ?
I looked in the FTP server but the numbering system for the roms is not really clear...
Since i am Dutch i don't mind a Dutch version...
Does it have A2DP ?
rgrds Mike
I assume you have a t-mobile vario - latest official dutch rom is here http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/med...y_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship.exe
You can stop the t-mobile extras installing by doing as soft reset just before they install. None of the roms mentioned include a2dp but there is an easy addon for that look at the a2dp addon thread.

Hi thx for the info.
Your're right i have an MDA Vario
Btw is this the latest ever or just the latest dutch ?
And is it newer than the above mentioned Qtek ?
rgrds Mike
Its newer than the above qtek rom the first few numbers give it away 2.21 vs 2.17 the higher this first number the newer the rom.
There is a newer qtek rom 2.8 something but its a test rom but you can get it in dutch. Only problem is that when you boot up it says test rom and some people have noticed a memory leak, but it does have a2dp included but many have reported it does not work that well with this rom.

hi, i upgraded ROM to AKU ver 2.17
but please help me to remove the new batery and GPRS icons
from the top info bar... the icons appeared after upgrade.
10x
Those icons are part of the ROM. All ROMs of the AKU 2.1 variety are going to have those icons in place.
That said, if I were you I would immediately downgrade back to a 1.x ROM and do a CID unlock before upgrading. You don't NEED to do it if you stay with operator ROMs, but if you ever want to use a custom ROM in the future it's something you'll want to do.
The CID encryption changed somewhere between 2.17 and 2.21 and the unlocking tools no longer work. If you upgrade to a bootloader that is version 2.21 or higher you will not be able to use the current downgrader tool and you will not be able to use lokiwiz02b to unlock the CID. At that point the only option is to pay imei-check.co.uk to do the job. Might as well take the free route while you can.
re
why I need to upgrade ROM again ? this ver is working OK till now
i have not operotors ROM.

One place, lots of questions.

Hi all,
As this is my inaugural post and I am a noob I decided to add all my eggs to one basket.
I have an I-mate K-jam and currently have this ROM installed on it.
RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WEE_Ship
Along with:
REAL_Radio_2.61.11
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.61.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I first started messing around with the ROM version as the latest ROM from Imate did not work properly with Vista as there was a section missing that allowed you to switch between RNDIS and Serial connection over USB.
I first installed AKU3.2-1.ORC1 which I got from this site and that also did not have the Switch software included.
Anyway I then decided as I was messing around I would unlock the CID as I was going to install the AKU 3.3 from Faria. So I followed the instructions and downgraded and unlocked the CID (whatever that is) and it was recommended to install the T-Online ROM so as to get a stable IPL/SPL 2.26.
I followed all the instructions and everything worked perfectly and the T-Online ROM had the USB to PC software included so I decided not to bother upgrading further.
I also was not happy with the Bluetooth functionality with the Imate AKU hence upgrading, but all the ROMS or AKUs whatever you want to call them are all the same, the bluetooth functionality is crap and limited to only OBEX push.
Is there an ugrade to the bluetooth stack that will give me full functionality and not just this cut down version.
Also the Phone upgrade I did to 02.61.11 is awful, I was running 02.26.... before upgrading and that version had a proper phone display with nice blue buttons and stuff, this new one has nasty grey buttons and keeps popping up the address book as soon as you type a number. Can someone intergrate the better functionality of the 61.11 version with the look of the 02.26 version please?
If I upgrade to the AKU 3.3 will this include the USB to PC in settings -> Connections? will it include a fully functional Bluetooth stack? will it include the better look and feel of the phone with the upgraded functionality?
So my questions are:
Where can I get a fully functional Bluetooth stack from?
Is it worth upgrading to AKU3.3?
Can the functionality of 2.61 and the look and feel of 2.26 be combined into a better radio ROM?
Sorry for being a newbie but everyone has to start somewhere and i have read through all 19 pages of this forum and not found what I want to know, but this could be because I do not know half of what you are talking about.
Cheers
Steve

3. radio version doesn't have anything with look and feel of the phone application
Ah ha now I understand things abit more, I installed the AKU 3.3 version and am now happy with my K-jam except for the bluetooth functionality which sucks but you can't have everything can you

Slow Tilt after upgrade to stock 6.1

Hey Guys,
I upgraded to the 6.1 solely for the threaded SMS feature. I've noticed though that it's responding a lot slower compared to before the upgrade. I didn't install AT&T bloatware. Another thing I've noticed is that the touch is significantly inaccurate compared to before. Now it's a task to type in a number (using the stock dialer or even a better one). It was much better before the upgrade.
Anyone seem these issues too?
ive been having the same problems. plus my keyboard is really slow and sometimes doent register what i press. have you noticed that about yours?
i had the same issue.
i got rid of it after having that rom for 11hrs ..
i was reading earlier that there was a clean version of that rom floating around.. search and see what u come up with

Yup.. have the exact same problems.. haven't really installed a lot of programs tho.. I'm surprised that updating to 6.1 would have this many problems..
Same problem here after official upgrade for a german kaiser.
Same problemi with italian official ROM.
I try to upgrade to non official rom but there is same problem.

I have the same thing. Just noticed that it's mostly the "h" and "r" keys that miss a key press. Doesn't really make any sense. If I just press them repeatedly, like "rhrhrhrhrhrhrhrh" it comes out like "hrhhhhrhrhhh". Really annoying.
I don't think you mentioned what ROM you are using. There are issues with 6.1 if you have not updated your SPL. Please search out Jockey SPL. Go to the Kaiser Development forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378, and read in there a bit.
I have been using the ROMeOS ROM, which is 6.1, and have not had any issues at all. There are other good ones in the Kaisder Development forum, too. So you can pick out what you like. You can get a good 6.1 ROM. The issues are not with the ROMs, they are often with either the SPL, the radio, or third party apps. Good luck.

As I mentioned in the first post, I'm using the official/stock ROM from HTC's website..
did you hard reset after install?
Not atreofan released stripped down official att 6.1 and from the looks of it seems to be great, might try it
"As I mentioned in the first post, I'm using the official/stock ROM from HTC's website". Yeah, I guess I missed it in the title, duh.
You might want to check out the rest of my post, though. Maybe something in there that can help out, i.e. SPL, radio version, a different ROM.
Maybe get the stock ROM from XDA rather than the HTC site and try again. What have you done to the phone so far? What version of SPL do you have? What radio?
Not really made any other upgrades. How do I check the versions of each?
From System Device Info ->
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM date: 7/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol Version: 25.88.40.050H
I also use the official htc rom as well as hardspl (used to unlock my phone):
3.28.407 ger
1.65.17.56
25.83.40.02H
I have the same problem also. I actually have to think about typing slower. If I type to fast, the tilt will miss letters.
Interestingly, after I upgraded my Kaiser to 6.1 using the official Orange upgrade, I have the opposite effect.
Everything seems faster (especially typing).
Are you guys using the correct SPL for the ROM version you have? Unilke 6.0 ROMS, it is suppsed to affect performance noticeably in 6.1.
How can I find out which SPL version I have? Which SPL should I be running?

To find out which SPL version you have, hold down the camera button and soft rest. IT will bring you up to the bootloaded screen. The SPL version can be found there. Just soft reset again to get out.
Now regarding, which SPL version you should use, it might be better if you post that qustion in the ROM development thread of the ROM you are using (if cooked). If not, then I'm not sure... Hopefuly someone more knowledgable will hop in and enlighten us
Have a look at the following two threads though:

It also said CPLD-8
Thanks for the input..
I had installed hardspl, now reflashed the original kaiser spl and the issue is gone.

[ROM] Can anyone tell the difference(s) btw 1.19 & 1.56

i saw a few post for the 1.56, and i visited the official site and found that there was really a 1.56 hardware upgrade.
did anyone install it and feel it?
can tell the difference?
as the title~~ some screen shot will be great
have a nice one
No difference)))just numbers)))
WiFi conectivity improveents?
For those of us that have intermittent WiFi connectivity issues; has anyone noticed any improvements connecting to hotspots after installing the new ROM?

Not my credits, it was posted earlier by another user. But it's not all about the numbers. Drivers, xip, os as well as packages changed.
I told you)))just different numbers))))

Well, take a look at nk.exe and the other parts in the xip. Run a diff with an hexeditor. Change in offsets. Also the os changed. Run a diff on 1.19 and 1.56. Also the drivers changed. So I guess it's not only the numbers. But show me if I am wrong
OK)))XIP,SYS and OEM all cookers always change it doesn't matter which version is it)))
Only few different drivers...You cannot use it without new SPL or you have to flash through USPL...But again)))numbers)))(size is a numbers,versions are numbers too))))
im still arguing if i should flash to new ROM 1.56. onkolog said no diff. just number changed. and i read the rom_diff, it showed many new version in ROM. so im gonna test the new ROM 1.56 (miri's v7.2 standard without manila) and will report the feel IMO. i hope this new ROM is better
Why)))you not understand one thing)))All cookers change OEM,SYS and XIP to newest always)))In ROM 1.56 old OEM,SYS and XIP...They don't use it...That why no difference between these ROMs...
Miri use OEM,SYS and XIP from Topaz and Rhodium and me too...and where is new ROM 1.56)))it's gone)))
Or if you change few files to newest it means you have new ROM?)))I don't think so...
The original poster was comparing stock roms

Sorry I don't understand. I use the xip's OEMXIPKernel part from 1.56, some new drivers and packages from the 1.56 rom. Indeed not sure if hTC fixed some issues in these components but we will find out. Enlighten me
That what I told...You and other cookers just use few new things from new ROM 1.56, but users think you use all ROM 1.56...They don't understand you correctly...That why I told no difference...only numbers)))
GPS
GPS is indeed faster to find a fix, but something odd I have noticed is that TomTom 7 doesn't say I am connected to any satellites, yet it has found my location and works perfectly fine otherwise...
Opera (Internet Browser)
With the old ROM, opera would always be slow to load up and after quitting the application the phone would screw up somehow, either it becomming sluggish or crashing or getting a 'dont send' error. In this new ROM, it is much faster to load up and quit, however, it is still kind of buggy for me and sometimes crashes. Its still not stable (in my opinion).
Battery Life
Regarding battery life, I haven't seen much of a difference. If anything I would have to say this ROM has got a bit better battery life but nothing much, its negliable.
In General
The new ROM in general is slightly faster, but only by a small amount. Some people wouldn't probably even notice this speed difference because it is so small.
Worth Upgrading?
Depends. If you use GPS a lot then this could be for you. But soon people will probably start cooking with this as the base ROM so you will get these features and more anyway. Also it can be risky upgrading to this ROM, with it being HardSPL incompatible and having its own SPL embedded. If you have the time and patience, then theres no reason why not to upgrade.

Cool, thanks for telling that.
for my experience, TTom works well in my 1.19, so.....
i think i should let my device stay the same way she did
just numbers... well your right evan data is just numbers 1010111001001 but they can they can make a differance. 1.56 has updated os ect which a good **** can easaly better but theees also the updated spl with some firmware w for the new drivers ect now the divers and spl arnt gona b bettered by a cook only incorpirated only a proramer, developer, someone who knows the languages ect could mess with thouse. im hoping olinex will hack the new spl for us soon which whould make it esy to flash 1.56 coocked roms.
as i said new drivers and firmware which includes new drivers and firmware for the graphics. im hoping htc have given us heardware acceleration but time will tell. a better base to start from will always give you a better reault and sone of the guys here work wonders so lets hope and see what happens.

Audio input/output issues

Heya,
i have an MDA Vario III and i have recently updated to a new rom.
i used the newest HardSPL to date (3.xx) and a custom cooked rom.
my real problem though was after i updated to OliProf the audio iput/output would completely cut off. i found it was the radio rom, so i updated it AFTER i updated the hardSPL and rom, (i have 1.27.12.11). the sound worked fine after i did all this for a week or two, but now the sound has started stopping again, the only solution is when i flash the radio rom, but the sound would then cut off after 3/4 hours, meaning i have to reflash the radio rom every 4 hours
any help would be greatly appreciated
Poly
All newer ROMs are WM 6.1-6.5 so need the radio to match so you should be using a WM 6.1 Radio and not a WM 6.
The Ultimate Radio Thread
so what i should do is really is go through and try all the radio roms under W6.1? because even after reading, i am still confused as to which rom i should use to update, sorry ):
and FYI i found out that the rom im using at the moment is "THE AMAZING 23001 ROM by DJKOA"
and the SPL is 3.56 HARD
Go with the recommended radio "mind u i think that it's not matched" read the thread from back as sure posters have mentioned radio issue, then you will have phone working and from there only you can find the best Radio as it depends on so many variables location\carrier etc and effects battery life\data\GPS Fix.
And on another note H-SPL 3.34 is recommended for 6.5
