2.16 rom with radio 1.40

[herbster]

Can anyone make a sticky or give detailed explanations on how to install the 1.40 radio over the 2.16 rom. Most people seem to say this works the best as of know (if you want bt and no lockups). I currently still run the old 2.09 rom. I dont even know if you have to unlock for this? Thx

I've ended up in the scenario you described, and here's what I did:

-Updated to 2.16 from the download off HTC's site.

-Found that it fixed things as advertised, but it made the phone lock up continually for me, as described elsewhere. From there, I downloaded the 1.40 Radio RUU and the RUU utility from the FTP link provided in step 2 of the "Titan Flashing for Dummies" sticky. The RUU utility is in /Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/roms/ and the 1.40 radio is in /Titan/Users/dcd/ on the FTP link.

-I wasn't sure if I'd need to run the Unlocker, but I did, and I did have it stay stuck in the bootloader. However, instead of continuing with the directions about what to do when you get stuck in the bootloader, that is when I flashed in the new radio with RUU, and then everything came back alive and was happy. Even though, to my understanding, all I pushed at the phone was the "Radio" code, it was as if I'd done a hard reset so I had to reload software and settings again, but other than that, no troubles.

My phone has been acting teriffic compared to just having the stock 2.16 on it. I don't think I've had to soft reset since I've done this. I hope this is helpful.

hey do you use BT?

my main thing is being able to have the upgraded sound of BT with the new rom but no disconnects. or rarely any at least.

I stuck the 1.40 Radio on the 2.16 ROM a few days back and have had a great experience with BT audio. On 2.09 it was completely unusable. With 2.16 and 1.47 quality was great but I had BT turning off and the lockups. After switching to the 1.40 radio the BT quality is still there and I have no had the lockups when losing an EVDO signal while I drive (made the same 40 mi drive where it locked several times). I have only had one instance where after I disco a BT call with the headset I lost a signal for some time. That was almost immediately after flashing and the issue has not occurred again since.

So, the bt shutoff problem may still exist with 2.16 and 1.40, but it is certainly far less frequent than I saw in a few days with 2.16 and 1.47.

How do you install only the ROM? My phone is locking up ALL the time. I would like to try to put the 1.40 radio back with this 2.16 ROM.
