Hi,

How is it be possible to upgrade the radio versin to another version?

My version is not able to hook up on 3G connections or SIM card.

Is there a way to upgrade it? and extract from other memeber for share?

Yes is possible.

Download a full rom (like the italian one).

Launch the full upgrade with the phone disconnected

kill the mirage client with the task manger

You will find the rom splitted in 3 files on the C:\ directory.

Copy the _phone.bin file somewhere.

Then relaunch the mirage client and choose to flash the pone part only with the above file.

You will need the smsung generic modem drivers (the ones for the i600 or i607 are ok) to flash the phone section.

Thank you for that tip Solutor,

I will give it a try now.

BTW - is the Italian ROM newer then mine?
mine is -
PDA: i780DXHA1
PHONE: i780DXGL2

And, why if so, wy don't I install the italiam ROM as a whole (not just the radio part) and then add my languages?

and ...will it affect the Radio of the GPS as well?

Amazing!

You have solved my problem!

Thank you!

I have been working on this for a week now, and finally...you came up with it :D

3G is working and now even the GPS is showing some "living symoptoms" ( I still have to play with it more).

Cheers :p

I can now confirm that the device works flawlessly !

GPS hooks up in a few seconds (after an initial 5 minutes for the first time) and everything works superb! no third parties (port Splitter, GPSGate, etc.) required!

Soluter - you made my day!

Ive just tried to get the _phone part from the italian newer rom but as soon as i kill the mirage service all 3 files from the c:\ drive vanish too

Do you have any ideas as to what the problem could be?

thanks

Kill mirage from the process tab, not from the application tab.

Another way is flashing the whole italian rom, then flashing back the english one (as the one that is lying around is the pda part only)

BTW, I'm trying to upload somewhere the splitted rom, stay tuned! :)

Finally manged to get the phone part but when i click the detect button it just stops on
'Waiting for device...'

and dont go any further...is this due to the modem driver not being installed?

Also do i need to kill activesync before ido the update?

Thanks

Yeah...I had the phone on.


Make sure the phones switched off and then connect the cable.
Thanks for your quick reply. When you say turn the phone off do you mean switch to flight mode i,e, leave the device on? I did that but still get the waiting for device....

All I did was select the _phone file and click detect. Do I need to do anything else? Do I need select anything in the Loader section?? Sorry - I'm not finding as easy as flashing my HTC Touch!:confused:

no actually switch the phone off...select the phone part of the rom and then connect the phone and it should auto start flashing
