[Q] What about that radio rom? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have used various roms on my Xperia X1 and stumbled many times about different so called "radio roms" (integreated in the whole rom?)
Can somebody please explain to me whats the deal with that different radio roms?
- I read from 1.14 - 1.17 radios ... some working better with gps or so?
Please enlighten me
Thank you!
Martin

interesting general information can be found in the WIKI under Technical Terms
specifics for X1 with follow up references in the XPERIA ROM Library (also containing radio roms though out dated, see previously posted link for radio collection)
also read X1 Radios with FAQs, very good
Best, DK

That's what I wanted to know - thank you for the links!!

Where's a MOD, We need a sticky to post links to latest ROMs

Wouldn't it be nice not to have to search through a couple of pages to see if summiter updated his rom or if there is a new qtek, k-jam, cws or tmo rom? All custom versions could be posted, but only the latest version.
If we had a sticky at the top it would be simple, when a new rom is released, you copy and past the last thread, replace the changed item and repost. NO questions allowed, simply links to the roms! Even if a mod want to make one or more of the more active members a mod of that thread only, it would help, he could keep it clean wiith just one post. I would help.

That would be a GREAT idea!
post your thoughts, so the mods know...

Good idea, but doesn' t the wiki already tell you what the latest ROM version is?
Maybe there could just be a sticky pointing new users to the wiki to see which is the latest ROM version for their phone? Just my two cents!

Its funny you should mention the wiki as Ive noticed coming from the universal to the wizard that the wiki is very poor for the wizard and Ive had to post some basic questions even after searching the forum all day! Maybe some kind sole out there would like to put some time in and fill it with basic information like how to flash roms ect.......
There is info in the wiki about roms, just nothing that has the latest information and which rom to flash. I can see where the wiki could replace a sticky, but I think a sticky at the top of the forum would better serve the group as a whole.
There is info on how to flash a wizard rom in the wiki:

Questions from a complete newbie

Hi everyone,
I've discovered your great forum because I've bought an HTC TyTN II.
I have some questions for you, because I've read several posts and threads but because for me it's the first time that I own and use a PPC PDA, I'm in trouble for small things.
I'm using an italian version of ROM (I don't know if it's correct to say so), and I need to know if there is a way and the possibility to upgrade my ROM.
When I power on the device, I see:
R 1.27.12.11
G 22.45.88.07h
D 1.56.00.00
Someone can explain me (or show a link for an explanation), please, what these parameters are?
This is my first question, for now.
Thanks to all the forum,
Bye,
ghale.
Sorry for my english!
bump.
curious as to the meaning of these cryptic numbers as well.
I think one of them may be Rom version?
They are the three roms. Radio rom which controls the GSM and 3G operation; the main rom which is the operating system for the device and I think the third one is the customisation/extended rom for your network/brand of device.
Ok, thanks.
Where can I find the latest version of these three roms?
Can I update only one of these or I have to upgrade all in the same time?

Usually official roms comprise all three... but the clever fellows here create custom updates that can update one individually. If you have a look at thre Kaiser upgrading forum you will see there are one or two OS only updates.
Have a look over the Hermes wiki page and you will see links to loads of different OS's and loads of different radio roms - although they are for that device and not the Kaiser. I am sure there will be loads of Kaiser roms before too long.

Some questions

Hi!
After installing the HTC Toupad on my Kaiser, I have experienced big problems. Letters on the Keyboard (QWASYX) didn't work and even the onscreen keyboard didn't recognized these letters. So I decided to uninstall the application. But now I have other problems with my Kaiser and so I decided to Hardreset my device. But before I do this, I want to upgrade my Kaiser to WM6.1 and update it to the newest ROM/Radio.
Now I have some questions relating to that.
As a result that I am a Super Moderator in another forum I know that it is bugging if people don't read the Wiki/FAQs. I have read them, but I don't understand many things :-|
I have handled it to unlock my device, but when I was reading about updating to WM6.1, I saw only things like: "... works only with 6.1", update this, update that, and I don't know in which order.
First of all: Could anyone explain me how to update my Kaiser to WM6.1 and the newest Radio?
Secondly: What is this Duty FW? Is it a modified Rom with added apps?
Finally: I have a normal Kaiser. Not a Vario III, AT&T or something like that. Just the austrian version of the Kaiser with no brandings and so it would be good to have a Firmware without any brandings.
Thx in advance.
BTW:
ROM version: 1.56.405.5
Radio version: 1.27.12.11
Oh, I have forgotten one thing: Is it possible to change the LED blinking in the Phone Mode? To change it from green to blue?
The letter problem you were having was a simple fix with a cab that can be found all across this forum. All the ROM's can be found in the ROM Development forum and as far as what has been changed, modified, added, programs list, can all be found in the FIRST or SECOND post of each of the ROM's. So you will just have to read through them and find one that suits you best as they all have something different. Most of the radio's that can only be used on 6.1 ROM's will say "Will only work on 6.1 ROM's". And I would like to add even though you don't have at&t DON'T FLASH THE 1.65.17.10 RADIO.

You need to make sure before you flash a rom on to your kaiser that you flash hardspl - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679, and than after successfully installing that you can flash the rom of your choice. Please read the first sticky thread under the kiaser rom development form - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282; it has all the info you need pretaining to everything involved when it comes to flashing your kaiser. I strongly recommend you go through it and read the posts it points to that are relevant to flashing.
Once you have done that it is pretty simple process; just do yourself the huge favor and don't flash until you have flashed hardspl or you will brick your phone.
If its still a mystery I would start here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
No pun intended.
@thesire
I have already installed HardSPL. Otherwise I couldn't have unlocked my device with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
I have used just the Sim Unlocker Method. Not the Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer
That's the reason, why my mobile phone is now with an english language
Just one important question: Do I have to change my current radio for the new Duty Release?
@KDKobes
Why shouldn't I flash THE 1.65.17.10 RADIO?
Some ROM's come with radio's some don't. Most of Dutty's ROM's come with radio's, but if you want to keep your radio then I would suggest finding a ROM without a radio in it or making sure yours is compatible with the WM 6.1 and reflash it back. The 1.65.17.10 radio will lock your phone to that radio only and you will not be able to change it until somebody can fix it. Alot of people are stuck with that radio now and can't change.

question about roms, im new (sorry)

i had bought kaiser 100 tilt at&t. it has wm 6.1 in spanish (i speak spanish and some english). it has a radio 1.65.17.10
what do i need to do to upgrade rom? i read wiki and it says that i need to upgrade radio version too. im lost about versions - convenience (too many versions and mods).
any suggestion is welcome, thanks.

The first you need to do is all here and regarding flashing the rom, try a few ones and see which one suites your needs. You have to read the rom threads a little to see what is working and what isn't. Grab a cup of coffee, tea, diet coke, a beer or whatever you want and take some time to read, sorry but that is xda
Please use the search before posting gmaniac2008 has been very helpful providing link and information, check the stickys and wiki as pretty much everything you will need to know will be already documented.
On that note thread closed.

Asking for help to uprom my HTC TP2

Hi everyone,
I am using a HTC TP2 T7373. I want to uprom for it.
Its configurations are:
ROM: 1.86.401.1 ( 67102) WWE.
Please help me:
- Can I uprom from this platform?
- Show me the link to get the right HardSPL.
- Tell me what is the better and suitable new ROM to replace the current.
Great thanks for your kind inputs.
Cheers
See the "sticky" threads at the top of the forum on "Flashing your first GSM Rhodium ROM" and "HardSPL Unlocker". They have all the information that you need, and links to HardSPL.
What suits your needs for a ROM might not suit someone else, so pick a ROM and try it out.
Thanks Steviewevie for the indications.
