Default Can I upgrade Radio Rom?

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could upgrade the Radio Rom. I tried to find out what my Radio Bootloader was through the WIKI site but could not get the commands to work. All I know is that I have:

Rom Version: Schap's 4.01
Rom Date: 10/03/07
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01W
ExtRom Version: 4.01.20071111

IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.40.Olipro

I think that I need a newer Radio Rom as that one seems a bit old. The phone takes about 1.5 seconds to come back from sleep when clicking the power button.

sure, you can update the radio.

i suggest upgrading your IPL/SPL to HardSPL 7 or 9. i am currently using HardSPL 9 (2.60 Olipro), at the very least if you have a corrupted radio flash you will have your system bootable instead of a dead brick.

check out the ftp repository for xda-developers, you will be able to find v7 there (v9 is in the upload folder, but make sure you _only_ use it if you know what you are doing.)

Definitely upgrade SPL first, also do a little reading around, some radio roms work better in some countries than others and better on some network providers.
