I have self taught myself everything (mostly) all the way back to the original kitchens. N E ways. I have recently upgraded to the new radio. Everything went fine and took but, I have actually lost all reception now! I have no bars and 1X in my taskbar. Any Ideas??!!

I suggest you flash back to the original radio ROM for your carrier. Just go to www.utstar.com and download the latest rom release for your particular carrier, extract it with winrar and delete the nk.nbf and ms_.nbf files. Then run the ROM UpgradeUT.exe and it will reflash the original radio ROM (takes a while, at least 5 minutes if not longer).

Then once that is done see if you get any difference in your signal meter. If no change than what you're seeing is unrelated to the radio ROM.

Thanks Luv! I downgraded back to v.1.10.00 and my reception has came back and even a little bit better than before I initially upgraded. But I am puzzled as to why the newest radio rom did not take?! Here it has helped so many others and the help would have been appreciated on my end, especially if it is true that it improves battery life as well as reception.

no change for me here at home, still at 0-1 bar. 2 if you consider the tiny one directly under the triangle a bar.

+1. Sprint phone trying to upgrade from 1.12.00

tried restarting the upgrade prog and it gave the same result twice.

Using Vista...

More than likely the fact that you're trying to upgrade using vista is your problem. The rom flashers don't like vista without doing a lot of crap to it.

Alright... I had been using Hetels 1.41 and upgraded to pheonx' for "kicks" and giggles. At home I didn't notice a difference, but I live in Indy, so you pretty much get reception anywhere residential. At work I can say that it didn't change terribly much, maybe.... maaaybe it went up a little bit, staying more on one bar than zero... but still from what I can tell no huge difference. But it does work fine with Verizon.

i also live in Indy and have sprint, so I get service everywhere even in the most unusual of places. Anyways, didn't notice any large difference, but nothing's gotten worse.

Sprint PPC6700 user with 2.06.00 WWE ROM. I just upgraded to Radio Version 1.41 and it went very smoothly, no problems at all. Just follow the instructions on page 2 in this thread. In fact, you get very easy instructions to follow when you run the RUU file that is included. It even instructs you on how to put the phone into bootloader mode.

Thank you, Phoenix, for the hard work.
