Upgrading radio to 1.14 with WM6

[linenoise]

I just installed the new WM6 release, and I'm trying to install the radio version 1.14. It won't let me. I've even tried adding the radio_.nbf file to the wm6 upgrade utility, but I still get

error 120: country id error.

The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check your carrier's web site and download the correct ROM update.

Has anyone gotten this to work yet?

I had the 1.41 radio installed prior to going to the WM6 ROM and it is still working well.
I installed it separately when I had the WM5 AKU3.5 ROM installed.

Flash an older 3.5 ROM, Flash to Radio 1.14, Flash to WM6

i flashed to it just fine, but i had to use my xp machine, never flash a radio rom on a vista machine. ever.

ditto here. I flashed radio 1.41 seperately before installing wm6. i'm really seeing the benefits of it now too! Good luck.

The radio 1.41 upgrade REALLY made a huge difference for me. This upgrade was absolutely well worth putting in.

In regards to what Angel12 said, the only machine I have ever used for flashing anything, rom/extrom/radio, is a vista machine and I have very rarely run into any problems so I am not sure why he is saying this.
As far as upgrading the radio is concerned, what I did is flashed to wm6 using the included utility, then I used the Phoenix06 radio upgrade utility (available on the ftp) to flash the radio and the blank extrom. Worked perfectly.
Make sure your phone is in bootloader before plugging the phone in, the use the Phoenix06 radio upgrade and it should work. When I got the country ID error it was because I put my phone in bootloader while it was plugged in, rather than before it was plugged in. It should work flawlessly.

i didnt think you could flash from vista, from what i can see (i tried and it did not work) was the device shows up unreconized as a usb device and thus cannot be connected to

Yeah, flashing from vista is easy and works fine. If you run into problems, run the upgrade utility in WinXPSP2 Compatibility Mode. It worked fine for me when I ran into problems. Try connecting and upgrading/downgrading your drivers (if necessary). Maybe if you gave me some more details about your problem I would be able to help.

i can flash everything but the radio rom in vista, no matter what vista machine i flash from, it errors out halfway through the upgrade, and i have to reflash a radio through an xp machine.
