Raphael / Diamond Radio's

AllTheWay · Jul 23, 2008

I know from dealing with the Kaiser that you can use radio's from the POLARIS, SEDNA, NIKI, NEON on Kaisers and vice versa because they have the same chip / chipset.

Being that the Raphael and Diamond have the same chip / chipset I assume that is can also be done.

I see that the Diamond Radios are:

Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.03.zip

Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05.zip

Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.06.zip

Radio_Test_1.02.25.11.zip

The Raphael Shipped ROM contains radio:

1.02.25.11.zip

Shouldn't these devices be able to use radios from either the Diamond or Raphael?

1. don't try a diamond or raphael radio on polaris/kaiser/nike/sedna generation.

2. diamond and raphael are very likely exchangeable.

1.) I know that.

2.) That's what I figured.

ok, the stall at 95% is normal, but you mean the RUU gave an error?

Yes nromally it should stay at 95 % for at least but no more than a minute, But eventaully it timed out and went into recorvery mode,

I was pretty sure it would work, i didnt try again, But if you need I can Upload this radio for you to test or have a look, it could be a one off bad flash

ok, upload it somewhere

p.s.: if it was a radio you yourself packaged into NBH see if NBH type is 0x301 (0x300 would be incorrect).

Be carefull what you try and flash, I wouldnt recommend just flashing a Radio stack from a Raph to a Diamond unless its proven to work sir.

Yeah was probably a bit silly but thought it was worth a go.

Radio UMTS

Just a questions for the xperts. Can the radio on the Raphael be changed that all UMTS bands are available. We travel and should have it. Is it a Software or Harware issue?

I got the same Radio' version on mine, and I must say I'm quite disappointed so far. Where I used to have HSDPA everywhere at home with my TyTn, now I only get GPRS, and only sometimes in some places I can catch HSDPA. Plus I notice it's less responsive in some situation.

Is there a way to upgrade to another one?

Not just yet, however HardSPL should be ready to roll soon according to Oli/cmonex. The radios issue has been common on most devices, on the diamond (same chipset) the reception has been found to work best on a different radio version to that which was shipped....it will be remedied soon
