With my Sprint phone it lists the Radio version when I reset. But you can also do it within WM5:

Start>Settings>System Tab>Device Information

It says in there what Radio Version you have.

I'm not sure why, but this doesn't work for me, it goes through the process normally, however it is rather quick, when it says to reset, I do a soft reset and my radio is still 1.27, I've tried like 5 times, and well, it's not working for me.

ppc-6700, (sprint obviously) running my own custom aku 3.5, and everything else works perfectly.

It seems like it just skips through the process, because it jumps from the screen saying checking existing rom, then bang, says complete and reset, but it's still 1.27...

I didn't have activesync installed, installed activesync, and ran through it again, all is working perfectly now

OK thanks. It still says I'm using radio 1.10. I guess I'll have to try again. Thanks for the quick reply.

Edit: Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, because I'm guessing it's something simple but this is my first time flashing with software not directly from HTC (having to put it in bootloader mode). I put it in bootloader mode, run the Apache upgrade utility and it just sits forever at "checking information on your device...". If I just hit Upgrade anyway with all the fields blank it says it was successful, but it doesn't flash it. I'm trying to upgrade my XV6700 from the official AKU 2.2 and radio 1.10.

im on telus, just upgrade the radio and so far its been good just havent noticed any improvement in signal strength yet

I was finally able to get the radio to install. Everything seems ok so far although I notice now that when I connect to my wireless wifi, I can't pull up any web pages. I keep getting the error The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again. Any ideas?

I just did it - hard to tell if it has made a difference but it certanly didn't hurt it. I'll know better when I go to work next time.

I also can report that I have no problems with wifi.
May be the previous poster should do another soft reset that's what I have to do periodically anyway.

Anyway thanks -

When the phone is booting up (After a soft reset) it should display some diagnostic information in red lettering on the boot screen... For example on my Sprint 6700 when booting up it is the center line of text on the right hand side of the bottom of the screen.

On another note, Upgraded my phone and it worked perfectly, No errors or anything, After the soft reset the change was noted on the diagnostic information that the upgrade worked. I noticed that I am getting better signal at my house, Which rox, But Im really waiting to go to my GF's house where normally I got barely any signal, Thats gonna be the real test... Anyways, Thanks for the upload Phoenx06!

Is there a setting somewhere that could be turned off on my phone which is preventing me from getting to the internet? Wifi connection is fine.

it worked perfectly with my ppc 6700 (sprint) with kirvins nojunk 3.5 rom, but still havent seen that it gets more bars. i did it during morning, i'll let you guys know if i notice anything. thx phoenx06!
