How To Update Radio ?

[olch]

hi there,

now i have a radio ver. 02.67.90 on my Artemis. Also there is
some radio ver . 02.69.90 extracted from other ROM.
Can anybody explain how to update radio only. (Tool and steps.)

Thanks

[rvbcrs]

I like to know this too. Is there anybody in here who knows how to flash the GSM portion of the Artemis?

Can someone please throw light on this topic? thanks!

Working on it! I can read the radio and other data now, almost there to write things back, hopefully tomorrow I will have the answer!

Hello rvbcrs,

when you are able to read the radio files can you also change the frequence from XXX.X mhz to XXX.XX or XXX.XXX mhz? In this case please change it ist verry interesting for me.

have a nice day

This is what I've got so far, it is to read the different sections of the Artemis, so you can make a backup of the Artemis:

pdocread -n 0 -b 0x20000 0 0x100000 bdk0-spl.nb
pdocread -n 1 -b 0x10000 0 0x40000 bdk1-0-cidarea.nb
pdocread -n 1 -b 0x4000 0x10000 0x4000 bdk1-4-gsmdata.nb
pdocread -n 1 -b 0x40000 0x140000 0x280000 bdk1-5-gsmcode.nb
pdocread -n 1 -G 0x30000 -b 0x10000 0xF0000 0x30000 bdk1-f-splash.nb

write OS:
pdocwrite.exe osrom.nb 0 0x3900000

The problem comes with the writing, I don't know how to use the above adresses to flash the sections back with pdocwrite.exe, I keep trying but maybe someone inhere can tell the exact syntax to flash back for example the GSM part or the splash screen.

I got the addresses from pof so all credits to him!

Hope he can help with the last part too!

Thanks a lot for the post! But sorry I´m a german paramedic no programer. How can I find the pdowrite.exe? How can I change the frequence? from XX.X mhz to XX.XXXmhz?

Can you change it and send a link with the new file???

Thank a lot and have a nice weekend!

I think I don't understand what you want to do, is it the frequency of the radio band (NOT GSM)? or do you want to change the frequency of the GSM part?

If you are doing a radio rom only upgrade your device does not need to be cid unlocked. If you don't believe this, read rom guru's - summiter, kyphur and faria's posts in the wizard upgrading forum.
Your device needs to be fully charged and attach to pc via activesync or through bootloader mode and flash radio via the roms upgrade utility. (that is if you have the radio nbh and rom upgrade utility)

All this info is available on the forum please read.

Ok and can you tell us how it's done? because you can read all you want but for the Artemis you will not find it anywhere. (or I'm a lousy searcher) ;)

Most of the wm5 devices on the forum flash in the same way - most of the info needed is in the wizard and hermes upgrading forums. I did say how to do this - it is really that easy.(that is if you have the radio nbh and rom upgrade utility) Which part have I missed out?
You like most on this forum are lousy searchers - but don't hang yourself over it ;)

Are you sure, because as far as I know most parts of the data in WM5 phones is different, ok you have the ones like the Wizard and the Prophet that are almost equal, and there are more, but I thought the Artemis is different than most other phones, the addresses to flash the data in is different, ok the OS part is the same as all the others at offset 0x390000 but the rest, how about the rest? if I read the dat from the Artemis like this

pdocread -n 0 -b 0x20000 0 0x100000 bdk0-spl.nb
pdocread -n 1 -b 0x10000 0 0x40000 bdk1-0-cidarea.nb
pdocread -n 1 -b 0x4000 0x10000 0x4000 bdk1-4-gsmdata.nb
pdocread -n 1 -b 0x40000 0x140000 0x280000 bdk1-5-gsmcode.nb
pdocread -n 1 -G 0x30000 -b 0x10000 0xF0000 0x30000 bdk1-f-splash.nb

can you tell me how to write ik back than?

The radio.nb for the artemis is diff from other devices - i would guess the start address is diff from the other devices for the radio.nb. But i was assuming you had the radio nbh for the artemis and was going to flash with the rom RUUpgrade utility - if not it would be better to obtain the radio nbh rather than make your own.

If you want to make your own radio nbh file - I suggest you use the NBHTool v1.1
i would follow instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296311

Using dutty's good NBHTool v1.1 (updated) - it should be possible to do what you want i.e. create a nbh file with just the radio.nb and then flash with RUUpgrade utility

Thanks! I did try dutty's tool, but the updater tool kept saying the update file was corrupt or something, no mather what I did... I guess it has something todo with the 1024 header signature or something.. so that's why I wanted to do it with the pdocwrite.exe tool.. I only need the right addresses and syntax to write it back..

Did you try it with the latest version? It appears the latest version works with artemis. If you want to go down the pdocwrite route, pof's your man - i am not familiar with that tool.

I just downloaded the newest version, and tried several things, the new version now also includes a feature to change the signature size, but still no luck I tried signatures 128, 256, 512 keep getting the message that the updater file is corrupt. When I try 1024 as signature size the updater starts, I can see the 0% and a progressbar and then the display slowly starts to fade to black and the RUU updater says: ERROR[276]: UPDATER ERROR

the ROM update utility has encountered communication errors bla bla...

I only get this error when I use a signature size of 1024..

strange stuff! DUTTY, POF HELP!! hehe ;)

Well it looks like your having a great time with this :)

Speak to dutty - you cant be far off. Which RUU updater are you using? - it maybe this that is causing the error.

I'm using a standard RUU updater that came with the HTC Shipped rom..

Have you tried the modified RUU updater dutty mentions in NBHTool v1.1

[rvbcrs]

Yes I did, but it is for the Hermes only I guess because it tries to push a SSPL bootloader and that does not work on the Artemis..

Well looks like you need dutty or pof's help then - sorry run out of ideas.
