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?


HSDPA everywhere here.

But Signal is on the weaker side for reception indeed.

Mine has no problem with connection so far. What I noticed though is that the H symbol only appears when the device is downloading data like weather update, synchronizing with my mails(I had it configured as it arrives), when I surf the net and when using applications that access the net, like You Tube, Flicker etc. Mostly, the symbol toggles between G and 3G. (BTW,Test using Vodafone SIM on Central London)

Hi mate, A rapahel radio which I tried didnt worked on My Diamond
This Radio is Raphael_Radio_1.01.25.16 just be careful




OK I know now why.

raphael radio won't flash on diamond and diamond radio won't flash on raphael. even if their contents are the same - I have such radios here (this proves they are compatible). there is a reason for this (yes, HTC, again artificial limitation!!!)

there is one way around this - if you are security unlocked in radio it will flash no problem.

after installing the hardsplash, I tried to install a diamond radio (05 and 07) and didn't work. after 5% i got the invalid id message. it worked fine when I installed the radio version .31.

probably the diamond radios are not compatible with the touch pro.

I see you updated the wiki page a bit too... :S

Are there any other radio ROMs that haven't been uploaded?

Extracted and built some Radio only nbhs with yang. Also bundled them with cmonex's updated RUU file.

See the wiki pages for links (from the xda ftp naturally ;) )

mrvanx, did you test those RUU updates on an actual Raphael?
When I tried using the ones I had rebuilt with Yang about 2% in the flash ROMUpdateUtility would quit and give an error about the NBF file needed upgrading.
(Note that it said NBF instead of NBH, which I thought was strange).
After rebuilding them with a different tool everything was fine.

Some of them (IE 1.02.25.11 and 1.02.25.31) I packaged with Olipros NBHUtil... Haven't tested them as I don't have a device, but they should work!

heh, has no one read my #28 post?

again, diamond radio will not flash but not due to incompatibility. it is artificial limitation which can be removed with security unlocker

however there will be some people here who'll say yes the radio flashed - that is because they ran the diamond sec unlocker.

Cmonex, do you know where can i find the security unlocker you mention on your post?.
final question... if its possible to install a quad-band diamond radio on the Raphael such as the .05 or .06. does that mean the Raphael could get a 3G network in the US?.
sorry if the question is out of proporsion but I'm trying to understand the this world. :confused:

I ran hardspl, then ran the ROM upgrade l3v5y packaged for Cingular 1.02.25.31. Install went fine and I now have the .31 radio (but still only Edge speeds here in Seattle WA). Reception seems about the same. Will comment on battery life after a day or two.

security unlocker is not available yet, we (olinex) need to actually make one. with a raphael in hand (soon!) it will be easy to work out.

3G: no idea yet, we'll have to look

hehe NBF is there from the old times. what is this Yang thing?

NBHUtil should work fine
