Improvement Advices please!

[HTCzar]

I have a MDA from T-Mobile with:

- IPL: 1.01
- SPL: 1.40.Olipro
- OS: WM6 CE 5.2.1933 ; Build 18533.0.7.0
- ROM: Schap's WM6 Pro 4.00 RC 25/09/2007 (FULL MODE)
- Radio: 1.16.00.00
- Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H

I had a few problems with the No GSM, but now everything seems normal.

What improvements would you advise?

SPL to the latest 2.10 or 2.30?

Radio upgrade?

Is it possible to upgrade the Protocol Version? What does it mean?

My personal opinion..do not play with IPL/SPL unless its a die situation...try upgrading radio, i find that some radios are better than others in my device...

Learn how to cook and be a flash junkie...LOL;)

Most of the times I feel the GSM reception is too weak.

Improving the radio will make reception better?

Wich do you recommend me to instal?? Hermes 300

Yeah, a better Radio will improve your signal, and also save on battery life. 1.54 is the latest and seems to work well for everyone else i know :)
Check the hermes wiki links above and you can download it there.

Who is your provider?

My stock AT&T radio (1.40) worked good, but i prefer to use higher versions just in case...I dont have any problems with the current one that i am using right now (see signature)

I´ve seen those Rom´s for audio upgrade and have researched on how to install them, I think I can make it with sucess. However, I want your opinion on upgrading SPL before the audio update please

"need bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade your radio and ?RadioBootloader version 107 or less"
in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms

How can I check this?

[HTCzar]

I´ve update the SPL to the 2.10 Olipro and the Radio to the latest version.

However, I can´t make 3G calls, any ideias? It wasn´t working before the update either.

radio o depends on ur provider a lot.

i use 1.43 for australia. 1.54 is ltest but it sux in australia.

so get feedback from those in a similar region. 1.16 is gonna be stuffed either way, there r much better versions.

i also use htc released rom for phone os.

[HTCzar]

Well, I´ve installed the latest radio and now I´m back with the NO GSM message.

i wonder ir this is a problem with my installation, with the radio rom files, or with my PDA?

Any help please

it means u screwed it up n didnt follow instructions, and probably didnt read wiki.

get a new radio version, or do it again n reflash it.

ensure u have the right ipl/spl version n u understand the risks n bricking when u r upgrading radios.


i have completely wiped my device n bricked it doing radios. so re flash a rom of choice, reflash radios and alllow lots of hours redoing it all.


suggest u try just reflash a radio that works for ur region. be prepared to lose everything n hope u have backed it up before u starrted.

[HTCzar]

I didn´t bricked. I bought it bricked.

I´have been trying for the past week to recover it from a brick. I´ve read every tutorial in this forum, and didn´t screw up.

However, I haven´t yet found a Radio Rom that work´s stable in this MDA in Portugal TMN.

I´ve tried 1.16.00, 1.38, 1.40, 1.57 (both). When with 1.16 it worked for 2 days in a row, however after that the no gms appears once in a while.
