[Resources] Rhodium GSM Radio Collection - Latest: 4.49.25.95 added July 2010

As long as it is a GSM device and NOT a CDMA device, that is perfectly fine. You'll need Hard SPL firstly, though.

CDMA is all that U.S. stuff? GSM all the other?

No. GSM/CDMA is the band your carrier uses. It is carrier dependent, not country dependent. US has both CDMA and GSM carriers, as does Europe, I believe. Usually, GSM devices require a SIM card, although some dual band phones also use a SIM card. My guess is yours is GSM, but if you post your carrier, that might help.

Look under the battery of your device and post the model number. It will be RHODxxx where xxx is a three digit number. This will tell us whether you use a CMDA device or GSM device.

My Carrier is O² Germany (I am using a SIM-Card).
My Toch Pro 2 has no branding (soft- or hardware), no SIM-Lock.
The model number code says RHOD100.

Thank you guys for being so kind.

RHOD100 is a GSM model. You are able to flash any GSM radio or ROM. Just make sure you use Hard SPL first. This is what allows you to flash anything other than the stock ROM for your device.

faster data

hi, i have the latest (i think) radio installed (flashed, if u will) on my tp2 (GSM) and i'd like to know if there was any tweak or modification i could do to make my phone faster data wise??
i just want to know if it's possible to tweak the device so it could load pages in opera faster, download my tweeter feed faster, etc... both on wifi and data.
thnx.

The radio doesn't control your data speed. Your carrier does that. You could try flashing a different radio until you get one you like. For me, the stock T-Mobile radio functions best. If you are flashing custom ROMs, the chef will normally recommend a radio to go with the ROM that is paired with the same rilphone.

u are right, what i wanted to ask was if i could do anything to my phone so i could reduce the ping of my network, or of my wifi??
"ping" is the number that someone gets in a latency test.

The wiki page for the radio region has changed. The new page can be found Here

Changed the URL to the WiKi page in the OP.

Ahh, thanks! I couldn't find it by myself and now it is clear which radio I need (which I asked about earlier, but nobody could answer me).

It seems for O2 Germany, 4.49.25.91 is the latest and hopefully greatest.

Ya that's the problem tho... Even tho it's the latest, doesn't mean it's the greatest... That's why people say to try out all the radios and see which works best for you... It can also be rom dependent as some chefs cook in the rilphone.dll... Even tho that's the latest and greatest you might still want to try out the other radios, might get better signal or battery life or gps...

Of course you are right. I'm downloading the ROM right now and hopefully it will fix one issue I noticed - it appears with the other radio (4.49.25.88) I don't get the home zone anymore.

...hmm, and with the new version neither. I wonder if it's the phone.

If you have trouble with the recommended radio for the ROM you flashed, then try flashing back to the stock radio and seeing if that helps any. For me, the best radio is the stock T-Mobile radio of 4.49.25.57. The later ones give me awful GPS and wifi performance.

sorry, my english not good.

my TP2 rhod500 verizon but flashing GSM rom ( Mighty ROM). radio version of my rhod500 = 1.88.07WV

Which I need to install?

 

[mccune]

I don't know that radio version. Isn't your device CDMA?
In that case you can/should never flash a radio from the first post.
THIS page makes me believe that the Mighty ROM is actually CDMA ROM.

Isn't Vodafone a CDMA carrier? If you try to flash any CDMA radio onto a GSM device, you'll end up with a nice, expensive paperweight.

All the radios in this thread are GSM ones. I've used several different ones in my Rhodium in the UK (including the AT&T ones) without much problem. The 'best' radio firmware really depends on your individual mobile network and location and it's a process of trying a few out and seeing which is best for you.

Note that the radio firmware may also affect how well the wifi and GPS works too, so it may take a bit of a trial to see which one fits you best.
