[28.07.08] Nike and Neon Radios - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

As far as camera issues, try changing your radio. I haven't personally had any problems with my camera not working but people in various threads have reported camera problems going away after changing the radio.
Your Device must CID unlocked! You need minimum USPL and HardSPL started! If not ... Flashing stops on 99%!
If you use the wrong Radio with your Rom:
Device can get hot!
Power drain is very high!
Radio stuck, doesnt ring, no Audio, Hardware Problems, ...

What does a Radio:
The Radio OS is Linux and run in a signed or crypted EFS. Its the main device driver are only stored and config in it! All functions about Wifi, GPS, 3D Acceleration, Blue Tooth, OS Key Mapping, USB, and Audio are handle in the Radio and NOT in the OS!!! The OS have only bridge Drivers to connect to the Radio. What config is in use, are handle via device PID in the NAND.
This is the reason, why some Radios save Power and other have better signal strange! Signal strange is more Country ID related and power saving more related to Protokoll Version.
If you are stuck in the bootloader, download MTTY, connect via USB (Activ Sync must disabled via USB!!!) and type the Command "boot"
Please tell me ... are HardSPL or USPL installed or do you use SSPL ak JumpSPL? how is the radio rom version, you have try? winxp or vista?

so which is the latest and what are the differences ??

Highest Version are the newest ... whats differents ... HTC knows :-> 1.58.21.23 was in the lastest Radio Rom from HTC.

OIC, I updated the Radio rom.... but.. something freaky had happen....
My touch Flo menu which shows 6 box , email, sms/mms, internet, task, comm manager, calender.. is missing the internet button. only 5 show.. and the internet button is blank(black).
Did you guys get this problem?? and how to repair it??
--------------------------------------------------------------
Forget my question... after a hard reset.. it came back out................

make a hard reset

Hi, can you explain to me how to flash radio rom ?
What I need ?
Thank you

Your Device must CID Unlocked. You can do this with HardSPL, USPL or SSPL. After that you are can flash a Radio Rom, but you doesnt need it in the moment! Possible after i Release a higher Version!

But I have the niki with Radio 1.58.16.27, so if I flash the Radio 1.58.21.23 this is a higher version for me ... or not ???

Yes it is ... my english isnt realy good enough to explane all details about radio rom revision!
some roms are faster ... some have higher batterie drain ... some have special functions for special phone networks!

Can I use the Radio 1.58.21.23 on my niki or there are problems ???

Yes ... you can use without Problems!

Ok, thank you.
I wiil try !!!

I've already upgraded to Radio 1.58.21.23 from 1.58.16.27 haven't notice anything significant other then my bluetooth activesync seems to be more consistent, I guess it's early days yet to conclude anything about this Radio, I'll see how I get on with it in the next couple of days!!

running vista ultimate sp1, following all the guides, trying to update to RUU Nike Radio 1.58.21.23,
had the RUU Nike Radio 1.58.16.27 installed...
everything went fine untill it came to 99%... it stalled and the install program told me to follow some
recovery steps, i did, but vista cant recognize the usb device... henche, i cant connect to the phone...
is there a place for drivers or so...??
please help out a noob...

If you stuck on 99% -> via MTTY command "boot"
tell me what you see in your bootloader!

new rom
Will the new ROM improve my signal strength?

Possibel ... i use in the moment a modded rom ... the datarate is higher. if i get a modded spl, i will analyse the radio roms and make a list of the functions. read the kaiser thread about radios!!

Softbank 1.14 read only radio

For people interested in the method softbank used in new 1.33 ROM upgrade (post December 2nd) to make the radio read only, which is preventing to unlock the phone:
I have compared radio 1.14.00.10 from HTC 1.18 ROM and same radio version from Softbank ROM. These radios differ so much:
HTC_BOOT in HTC radio is 0107.0035
HTC_BOOT in Softbank radio is 0108.0035
QUALCOMM JNAND Version 07.00.13 JNAND.ELF for MSM6275 SURF and FFA:
HTC 1.14 - Compiled Feb 08 2006 09:10:20
Softbank 1.14 - Compiled Nov 02 2006 14:51:47
HTC qLink - Sep 04 2006 17:17:22
Softbank qLink - Nov 06 2006 19:02:33
Method used to decode radio (itsme tools):
* nbh2dbh.pl HERMIMG.nbh HERMIMG.dbh
* dbhdecode.pl HERMIMG.dbh
* decoderadio.pl GSM.nb GSMdecoded.nb
* Load GSMdecoded in IDA Pro or use objdump crosscompiled for ARM.
Attached is a diff of both decoded radios. The radio stack is still very unclear to me, if someone can shed a light on this would be really appreciated
I think the problem in softbank radio is that radio bootloader has changed.
All radio roms found on ftp have versions 0106 or 0107, but softbank 1.14 radio has radio bootloader version 0108:
HTC_BOOT 0108.0035
I tried changing the bootloader version and encoding the radio again but it doesn't seem to work, radio still remains 1.14 after this... so there must be any other check somewhere...
Sounds right to me. Thats what I show now. I ended up flashing it with the Cingular 1.30.502.1 load and am and quite happy with it. Still has radio load 1.14 but it seems to work quite well here in SW PA.
Guy
the sim still lock
when i flash the rom it ask me to get unlock sim code, i type 22051978 it said wrong, i am using Softbank

Anyone with softbank ROM post dec-2nd and 1.14 radio, please paste the output of "checkimage" bootloader command.
I need to know if this is the radio checksum or not: 0xB96D0ADE
Thanks

how do we check it?... i'm too noob for this... let me know how and i'll check it later....
1. go into bootloader (side ok + power button + softreset with stylus)
2. disable activesync on PC (File --> Connection settings --> uncheck "allow USB connections")
3. connect phone to USB, open mtty.exe and hit enter twice, you should see "USB>" prompt
4. type "checkimage" and hit enter. Do not copy paste (type it!).
thanks... i'll do it later at home...

Hello pof,
That is what I got on my phone, I hope I did everything right. I have post Dec.2 phone with new rom English MUI and default english input by Asukal:
USB>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x61F80750
SPL CRC checksum = 0x91BDD7D5
CE CRC checksum = 0xB7F6AA1C
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0x9DA08641
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0x50D0123C
Keep up the good work all of us post Dec.2 guys have faith that you guys will find a way to unlock the thing.
EDIT: Forgot to write that the bootloader screen says:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.09
And the startup screen says:
M 05
S 04
B 06
R 1.14.00.10
G 32.50.7018.00H
D 1.33
I have not tried to flash other ROMs or downgrade the bootloader. Apart for the English MUI by Asukal, everything else is as it came out of the box.
i did the checksum for you Pof
USB>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x3B98B480
SPL CRC checksum = 0x3BF03635
CE CRC checksum = 0xC0E1751A
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0x43F5E6CE
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0x50D0123C
---------------------------------------------------
And,
bootloader screen says:
HERM200
IPL-1.00
HERM200
SPL-1.04 (because i can flash the rom to 1.04, the original is 1.09 when i buy the phone)
i also face the problem that no matter i flash which rom or radio rom it still lock in 1.14 radio rom, unlock key cant use also.
Hope you can done the solution for our "Locked" people.
Thanks You!
I bought pre Dec2nt x01ht, but returned it next day because it has dead pixel... They flashed it to post Dec2nd, without repairing anything...
Radio checksum is same here:
Code:
Welcome to minicom 2.1
OPTIONS: History Buffer, F-key Macros, Search History Buffer, I18n
Compiled on Nov 5 2005, 15:43:56.
Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys
USB>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x5CE5759F
SPL CRC checksum = 0x91BDD7D5
CE CRC checksum = 0xB7F6AA1C
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0x9DA08641
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0x50D0123C

Thanks guys, one was enough
Still researching on this... will post when I have any progress.
Are you trying to cook new radio ROM with same checksum?!? Hope this could work, but I have doubts...

Somewhat off the topic: I hope that you are not referring to the missing pixel(not dead) on the Windows Mobile logo screen at the beginning. There is a missing pixel in the middle upper part of the logo screen, but in is not dead, it is just missing in the picture itself. If you try to reset the phone while the keyboard is open(that is in Landscape mode) you will notice that this pixel changes and is still in the upper middle part of the WM logo picture, but relative to the screen itself it is now in the right middle part if you look at it as if in portrait mode.
If that is the pixel you thought was dead, than it was pointless to bring it back to Softbank. Anyway too late now.
P.S. I took me quite some time of very very careful looking at the screen and testing with different wallpapers until I fond that out.
yeah.. it caught my attention too, of that windows bootscreen... i thought it had a dead pixel... i got rid of it and change the bootscreen image...

More off-topic: My eyes are still serving me good... I'm not that old, can notice difference between DEAD pixel and 'undead' one... Mine is dead, burried, gone forever, rahmetli... It's quite noticeable in boot-loader too... To be honest, in windows (wm5 boot & wm5 standard blue skin) i's quite hard to notice it, and that's why I haven't seen it when I was buying this phone, otherwise I wouldn't buy it.
I had a dead pixel also - it was 'always blue' which was great for the Today screen and not very visible in PIM apps, but was extremely obvious at boot time or when playing video. SB wouldn't replace it just for the bad pixel, but fortunately I had a bad GSM Radio and got a DOA replacement (honest-the radio went bad all by itself, I didn't do anything to it!)
Figure out some way to take it apart and short circuit the board, cause it to fail with no proof. They will probably DOA it for you instead of trying to repair it.
I recently got a Cingular 8525 and have been trying to unlock it to use with an old AT&T sim but it appears it is radio locked just like the recent Softbank tytns. Has there been any progress with figuring out how to flash the radios yet?

I cannot upgrade my Radio ROM

Hy at all,
I have one MSPV M3100 and i upgrate this to WM6 Xda-Live 0.20.1 ROM. This rom woek perfectly but my telephone run very bad.
Y have this version:
ROM: WM6 Xda-Live 0.20.1
Radio ROM: 1.16.0.0
Bootloader: SPL 1.06
I want upgrade my Radio Rom to 1.27 version, but not it with himself. I have tried 4 times, and always the same error. ERROR 114= Upgrade error.
I have followed these instructions:
Upgrade instructions
1. Extract the contents of the compressed file you've just downloaded
2.Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
Description for Radio 1.11 shows ver 0.70, but don't worry about it, it is really 1.11
3. The Hermes screen will turn white and show "Upgrade Radio Stack Please wait........."
4. If you get a "ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR", do not disconnect the device, run MaUpgradeUt_noID again.
5. The upgrading process will start and MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe will end up saying "ERROR 114: Upgrade Error", but the radio ROM will be flashed anyway, don't worry about that error!
6. Soft reset with stylus (Device will not be hard reset and no data will be lost)
that I have done badly?
as I have it to do?
Sorry for my english, is very bad.
Thanks a lot of for your answers.

You need to prep the bootloader. I will go find the link.
Here is the wiki link. This should get you started. I am in the process of downgrading from 1.35 to 1.27 right now. lol
I have the Oliman 1.10 and ipl is 1.01. Search for hard spl and you will have it all.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Before you flash the radio it is a good idea to use Hard-SPL so if the flash goes wrong the phone can be recovered.
pardon, but what is Hard SPL??
Is a program??
how I prepare the bootloader??
thanks
You Need to use SSPL. Look for Radio Files with SSPL in the WIKI.
Hello,
I must make downgrade to a ROM with the version SPL 1.04 to be able to
change to my radius ROM?
That is what me say?
Thanks.
@merodio How is it that you live in the USA, but have a CANADIAN cell provider (Fido), and also can't speak/write English (again, since you live in the USA)???
EDIT: Apparently the fido icon comes up when you select "Albania - Albanian Mobile Comms" as your provider.. Which is ALSO a non-sensical choice if you're in the USA....
You need to be superCID to run the RUU you're trying to use. Use one that uses SSPL.

Hello,
Pardon. It does not form well my profile. I have two mobile. One Hp 6815 with Movistar and one SPV M3100 with Orange.
Pardons but I do not understand.
How I can obtain superCID?
I want to put the RADIO ROM 1.27.0.0 SSPL that this here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
What I must do first?
Downgrade to a ROM with SPL 1.04 or Change to SuperCID.
Thanks for reply.

Hey Meodio_99, sorry but you are a classical case of someone who is going to end up with a bricked (dead) phone. You have a disadvantage as your English does not appear to be very good but you need to both read AND understand otherwise sooner or later you will end up with a bricked phone.
I suggest you read all the WIKI sections talking about upgrading and also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
It might take you an hour or so but it might also prevent you from crying yourself to sleep at night because you killed your Hermes!

will try again with the updated radio as soon as i get home...

Most stable radio for o2 mini S and how to upgrade it?

Hi,
I have this wizard for couple of years.
It works fine but sometimes looses connection with GSM (became unavailable).
The bad joke is that I do not know about it (signal indicator shows good signal and others are ok).
At the moment I'm using the following firmware:
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21.0001
gsm 02.07.10
os 2.21.4.1
WM5
I think the first possible solution is to upgrade radio.
Which version works most stable? Where is it? How to reprogram it without hard reset and reflashing all device (too hard to backup and reinstall all the software)?
Thanks.
Oleg.
Check out 'XDA-Wiki' you'll find all the Radio Roms listed there.
Its very simple to flash and upgrade Radio Rom,just hook up the phone with pc via usb cable and run the RUU in the Radio Rom,it'll hardly take a couple of minutes to flash.

I've found 2.71 with RUU_GO.exe
Is it the file to run? Is it suitable for 'operators' phone (G4)?
Can I be sure that nothing will happens with the current apps and data?
All Radio Roms are safe to flash to any device,G3 or G4,it just flashes and upgrades the GSM files and nothing else is changed or effected,it doesn't have any IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) in it.None of your personal data or application will get effected.
The most stable and commonly used Radio rom is considered to be is 2.19.11 and 2.69.11.But everyone have their own experiences,it all depends which suites you the best.
Hi,
thank you!
you were right about simplicity
last time (couple years ago) it was much more tricky to reprogram all rom
just flashed 2.69 radio and will check it's stability
i have 3.02... radio on a g4

Problem while Unlocking

Hello everyone.
I've problem while unlocking my Herm(MDA Vario II form Era). I downloaded Unlock_v3a prom forum. SPL updated succesfully to 1.40 Olipro byt while installing Radio it stuck on 0%. Then i have only bootloader screen and I install WM 6 wersion of operator (but without Radio etc because when i tried install full it stuck on 12% - radio install). Anyone have some idea what's wrong?
Maybe it is SPL case?
Thanks for replies!
Ok i want to refresh my Thread. I was reading many articles about Hermes and my case now is like that.
My Radio is working i can talking by PDA but only with cards of it's operator, when i'm trying install Radio installation stops on 0% i try to install 1.14, 1.18 Radio but always with the same result.
My IPL is 1.01
SPL is 1.40 Olipro
Radio ver. 1.05.02.00
Running on WM 6
