Warning! Update Radio Version before using newer WM6 roms

[ragnsep]

Just as a warning to all, I had the original WM6 rom release (not sure what version # that was) operating fine on my PP6700 from Sprint.

I decided to upgrade to the latest release to find that the signal would drop every 40-60 seconds, whether in data or voice.

After lots of panic and much testing I realized that I had an old radio version on my phone (R 1.12.00), which was giving me all my grief.

To correct this, visit http://www.utstar.com/pcd/ to get the latest version of the correct carriers ROM (for verizon users you will have to downgrade your bootloader again re-flash the WM6 rom). The newest ROM will have the latest Radio rom. My radio version is now 1.27.00.

From there, hard reset, download and install the latest wm6 rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325880.

Hard reset again and enjoy a working phone/data device!

Well, I installed WM6 several weeks ago and I still have the 1.03 Radio Version on my PPC-6700 phone and have no problems. ;)

I am using Sprint, not VZW. Could be a reason for the radio difference.

It was weird, I had a previous version of WM6 installed fine, but when I upgraded to a later version I had to upgrade my radio as well to get it to work.

Not sure what the difference in WM6 builds would have triggered this.
