Call for people with Radio BL <=0107

[Olipro]

Ok chaps... good news;

I've patched Radio BL 0108 to not require the rpass or rseed command, therefore, those of you still on 0107 can update to this and will still be able to update your radio ROM with all SPL versions as before.

Sadly updating 0108 to this patched version seems not to work... looks like there's some additional checking implemented in SPL-1.09.

however, if you're on 0107 and update to this... the update to the radio BL should stick permanently (although testing whether it allows downgrades will be the first thing on the menu)

just a bump, hopefully one of you guys has 0107

Ah sorry mate, just lost it by updating to 1.35 radio. There must be some guys still using the 1.27 radio which still has the 0107 radio boot!

Ok I've been reading the forums and wiki for a while now but I am still confused about everything so I don't really know what this is meant to do, so please forgive me inability to comprehend things.

Does this program allow me to flash any radio rom without needing the bootloader to be 1.04? Any other benefits?

Are there any negative side effects of using this? Like wil I still be able to downgrade radio later on?

What is this rpass or rseed command?

And what radio bootloader version will I get if I used this upgrade?

I'm still using 1.27 on 0107 but am having problems with GPRS/3G services now, am in contact with T-Mobile to find out whether these issues are network related or due to the updated radio rom.

If I could swear on here I would, T-Mobile and there crummy network in the UK are having issues again!

Ok can you explain step by step what you want me to do, coz I am planning the update to radio rom 1.38.00.10 later on this evening, I am planning on putting the Hard-SPL ROM on tonite as well to ensure it goes smoothly.

Mine is radio boot loader 1.08 already. But my wife's is still at the original Cingular Rom 1.34 which has radio boot loader 1.07(and unlocked).

[Olipro]

ok, basically, here's the deal;

if you update to a new Radio with 0108, after doing so, you will ONLY be able to flash from bootloader 1.09 due to a new authentication scheme on the radio bootloader.

however... I have patched the 0108 bootloader so that it does not use the new authentication scheme at all and hence permits you to flash the device from any bootloader you like.

those of you still on 0107 can hence take advantage of this since I can provide you with my patched radio bootloader.

now... first I would like someone to volunteer themselves as a guinea pig; the patch is simple and the odds of it bricking your phone are small.

the procedure would be as follows:

1) Flash patched 0108
2) Flash OLD 0107 (to see if we can downgrade as a result of the patch; normally you can't)
3) Flash BACK to patched 0108
4) flash whatever Radio version you fancy yourself to your phone.

ok, now, whoever is game please message me via PM and I'll furnish you with an RUU

Ok lets give it a go lol!
