Before I tried this xtra.bin swap, I had flashed to a different radio and that fixed it... I was able to snag GPS signal repeatedly. Originally I was on the Sprint radio, switching to Verizon fixed my errors. If you check the radio thread stickied in the Diamond upgrade thread you can snag one to try. Still no clue why some things fix for one person but not for someone else.

No, i can not flash my BELL radio.

the reason is that there is no way to falsh it back!

right now radio is version 1.04.02 on BELL radio

the problem is if i flash to any other version i can NOT go back to that radio again!

and im still under warranty and radio flash will void me.

thanks anyway.

any other suggestions?

Maybe take it in to Bell if you're still under warranty and see what they have to say.

I was under the impression that flashing to stock would replace the radio with the original. Since there is a Bell stock ROM in the upgrade forum, this may solve your needs. Course I could be wrong....

I guess we have the same batch:
ROM version: 1.13.666.7
ROM date: 10/02/08
Radio version: 1.04.02V

I have exactly the same problem. I am using the xtra.bin file right now. so far no problem. I hope HTC will give BELL a hot fix.

Not sure it matters but make sure the date is new on the xtra.bin file(s).

your right.

it works now.

before i just copyed the file over, and it keept the same date as the orignal poster's date.

but you have to use todays date.

so i just used NOTEPAD.EXE and opened the file then save it again,

this re-save caused the CREATION date of the file to be todays date, and now it works.


save to \windows and \temp

Don't use NOTEPAD it will change file. The file is binary and notepad is a text editor.

I tried wordpad and notepad (under windows 7) and they both changed the file. Older versions of notepad might work. To verify Use FC/B xtra.bin xtra_orig.bin in a DOS window and check they are the same. You may just be lucky.

I used a visual studios binary editor. But I'm sure there is an easy way to trigger the date to change.

There are free binary editors available.

If someone could write a cab that copies the file and sets new date it would great.
