Hey,
In the past couple of days, I've flashed a new ROM and flashed a new radio along with it. Since then, I've not been able to make a proper call. The quality of the call just breaks up constantly, it's basically impossible to hear what the other person is saying.
I flashed the ROM to VillainROM 10.3 final.
I flashed the radio to "hero-radio-63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14" but due to being on Orange UK, my phone locked so I flashed to a previous radio "-hero-radio-63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11". I cant help but think this may play a part in the problem?
Thanks
Jamie
Yeah sounds like the radio is the problem, you need to revert back to the original radio you had. Did you create a nandroid backup??
If you didnt id suggest searching google for an orange radio, or perhanps revert back to the stock rom which may include the orginal radio, dont update to the latest stock rom though as you may not be able to root again.

Has anyone been able to get the GPS upgrade to work on the VZW stock rom? I have tried to upgrade my XV6800 with DCD Kitchen 3.0.1 rom. I was able to do so but not without problems. I flashed back to the stock rom after I figured out that my phone was not working well. Issues that I had included the phone rebooting after making call, not being able to connect to network, camera not working and rebooting phone, and a host of other issues. After I put the phone back to stock, I had issues with connecting back to VZW network. I ended up contacting customer service to get everything set back. Long story short!
What I would like to know is it possible to flash the phone with the unlocker and the new radio on the stock rom? What would prevent it? Would I need to back up my current phones rom with configuration into a rom? How would I do that? So many questions, so little time. Thanks in advance.
Randy,
To make your phone work it must have the correct combination of bootloader, radio and rom. It is NOT mix and match when it comes to radios and roms. The wrong combination will make the phone unbootable.
The stock (non-gps) VZW rom will only work with a non-gps radio. (eg radio 1.30, 1.40. etc)
If you want to use a gps rom then you MUST use a gps radio. Period.
The dcd 2.x.x gps enabled roms need the 3.27 radio
The dcd 3.x.x gps enabled roms need the 3.35 radio.
At present there are no other combinations available. Even if you use other user created roms, the radio restrictions on these roms remain the same.
So I bought a phone that was branded qwest. It is the Mogul Titan 6800 I'm not sure of the point for all the different names but it looks like the Sprint or Telus Phone (circle instead of square navigation button) Anyways I paid someone to flash it to cricket. It ended up having a Verizon splash screen and a radio version of 3.37. The person who flashed it said GPS would not work with this particular flash, and if I wanted it to work he would have to do it on his own time because the guy he worked for had a certain ROM they liked and he could not flash a GPS ROM on his boss's time.
So I flashed to Gamedics ROM and then flashed To) V3 ROM. CI could not get GPS to work with either. I then upgraded the radio to 3.42.50. Still GPS does not work. I added GPS toggle and quick GPS but they did not help either.
I read somewhere about the Verizon MR1 update and how GPS would not work with it. Is there anyway that the original flash that I got was this MR1 and for some reason it has stuch through my other flashes preventing GPS from working? Is there anything I can do to make GPS work on this phone? I also have something QPST if that helps.
Thanks in advance.
My thoughts, and it's only my thoughts, this was probably flashed to MR1, which disables GPS, when your cricket dealer flashed it, he didn't flash it back to an older Verizon stock rom first to undo the GPS lock, you might try flashing an older Verizon stock rom, let it run customizations, then take it back to the dealer and ask him to flash it again, let them do whatever rom they want, but when you get it back home and go back to GAMedics, or whoevers rom, GPS should work.
You might call the cricket guy first, make sure they won't charge you to flash it again, and if not, then do what I suggested.
Or at least ask the tech guy who did the flash for you and see if maybe their rom uses the same verizon locks.

I now have the capability to flash it myself. Could you direct me to an approbriate ROM to undo the lock?Then I can flash it back to my current ROM.
Thanks for the reply.
The only rom that I know of is the original stock Verizon rom, it's windows mobile 6.0, it will do carrier customization, which I believe it has to do in order to unlock the GPS.
Hopefully your Cricket rom restores the Cricket customizations.

Same problem here
Almost the exact same problem, but I have a Verizon branded refurbished (insurance) phone.
It had the latest Verizon ROM (6.1 - 3.37 radio) on it when I got it.
Am I able to put the Verizon 6.0 ROM on it?
I thought that would downgrade to a non-GPS radio , and that could brick the phone?
Here is my two cents... I Have xv6800 on VZW and Verizon users always had a hard time with GPS until GC figured out a GPS setting you had to apply with QPST. Its in the "HTC Titan Links/Information - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING" section sticky in this forum. Since then I use Baf GPS toggle today screen plugin to toggle GPS on or off. It always locks in 2 or 3 seconds. It looks like you said you are on cricket and I don't know if there are similar settings to apply with QPST. This all assumes you haven't flashed the MR1 Verizon upgrade, you are on a 3.something radio and are using a GPS enabled ROM (most if not all in this forum are). I never messed around with the MR1 upgrade so i don't know about it. Flashing back to the original verizon wm6.0 ROM in my case has involved re-locking the phone, and flashing the original ROM (which includes the original Verizon radio), then un-locking again, flashing the latest radio, then a wm6.1 ROM.
If you do some searching on this forum you can find answers to most of your questions.
Thanks. I have searched, but it was unclear whether I should downgrade to a non-GPS rom/radio (I've read that it's dangerous).
The guide I read here was actually pre-GPS rom release.
I went ahead and did downgrade, and then upgraded radio and installed a custom rom.
Now I get super fast locks.
Thanks again.
I have currently installed RUU_Le2_UK_1.72.206.3_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship
everything works fine.
i have tried Dutty CDLC version 14 which worked fine but due to the messaging client being not compatible with smartwatchM i had to go back to stockrom
i previously HSPL so i could install custom radio (to make android work)
after going back to the stock rom i have since tried various other roms and i have the same problem each time
it installs and boots fine, after a restart it just seems to hang at first screen (does not display radio rom etc in bottom corner like normal just screen)
only way to get anything to work again is to once again install the stock rom via bootloader screen.
is the HSPL damaged? or have i missed something
thank you for you help
you are flashing 576 ram enabled roms, but your radio is still a 51 version so they won't boot.
enter bootloader, flash something like 2.08.50.x radio and your phone will boot. don't forget every time you flash back to that o2 rom it will reset the radio to a 51 version.
that makes so much sense, im just an idiot.
i shall attempt this now. thanks alot
easy to overlook.
it worked ... altho i have to go back due to me not being able to find a new rom that works with my mbw150 lol , 2 days just to revert back
anyways im very happy for the quick reply and help and not mocking me for being dumb. thanx again
I am in the USA on ATT.
I think the gingerbread radio is the cause of my Slacker radio problems. It didn't do it before. It seems that sometimes when there is a cell tower change Slacker stops and I lose the bluetooth connection to my Ford Sync. Seems to happen at the same places. I want to try another radio. (Pandora does it also; but not as often)
Questions:
1) which radio do you suggest I try (can I go back to Froyo one and if so where may I find it?)
2) I am unlocked/rooted and running a basically stock gingerbread. Do I need to find a flashable zip and use CWM or can I use RSD to flash the radio? (I definitely don't want to hard brick the phone and I keep seeing about not flashing back but I don't think this applies to radios)
Thanks!!
An option:
Personally, I would just deal with it because I wouldn't want to risk my toy...but...
there is an update, albeit, hacked radio that not only should be more reliable, but I've also found to get better reception, and use less battery.
The installation process is described here:
http://www.droidmatters.com/news/breaking-motorola-atrix-4g-gets-hsupa-not-from-att/
It should work for you since I tried it on my gingerbread and it worked, but my gingerbread was not OTA so I don't know what will happen for you.
TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK
Thanks!
The 1.87 was the radio I was looking for. I am a little bit nervous about using rsd to flash the radio (nervous like a bad girl in church but from what I have read it isn't a problem since I am not trying to flash a whole build. Later on when I get my courage up I will try it.
Thanks again,
Ron
update
Flashed the radio to my gingerbread ota (unlocked and rooted) using rsd lite 5.0 and no problems or hard bricking!!! I will try the radio out for awhile and perhaps it will fix my problem. I was on pins and needles while it was rebooting. If I need to go back to the current radio I have a zip that can be installed with cwm..
Thanks again,
Ron
In your opinion do I need to flash the radio.zip after cm7. If so wat does it do for my device? Do I get better service/ faster data speeds?
Thanks, tHe NoOb

I think the radio that you have currently should work well enough.
I had the 1.97.00 radio and found that cwm was giving me a 1 bar issue. Same thing with aosp. And input so I installed the 1.77.30 radio via cwm. Wish I had a cwm version of the 1.97.00 radio just to try while im at work. Seems the 1.77.30 radio switches from H to 3g less in my area than the. 97 radio.
ok, it seems as if my service is pretty good compared to what yours was before you flashed it. ill keep it for now. thanks for the replies
Please help Radio flash
I want to flash the radio to my unlocked and cwm installed atrix 4g. I used to have 2.3.4, 4.5.91 ATT stock software, but went to cyanogenmod 7.
What radio do I need to flash in cwm? There is a radio.zip file on briefmobiles website, I just want to make sure I am downloading the correct one.
I want to flash because it is taking a while to get a gps lock in CM7, where in the stock rom it would happen almost instantly.

Not 100% sure but gps lock on isnt slow because of radio but couz of CM7 i got stock radio and its also slower then on GB. also CM7 doesnt install radio if im not mistaken if u had GB radio u should still have it
what cm says
code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/wiki/FAQ CM7 is saying if you are having slow locks to reinstall the radio. I'm just wondering how I can accomplish this through cwm.
