its simple...master reset or format internal drive and do not restore old backups...if the problem is not hardware related, this will fix it

You can't revert the firmware (software) by restoring so I guess the only way would be to flash the phone again with an earlier version of the software.
SEUS can't (or won't!) do this, not sure if one of the online services like wotan or davinci can? Maybe somebody can shed some light on this?

Most of us with R5A17 have the radio working, people that donīt have it working suffered from a bad flash process, so to correct it they need a master reset/internal drive format, with or without a reflash (makbil reported he just had to make a master reset and the radio started working again)
About restoring old settings and data, for people with severe problems like these should make it all manualy...but hey, it might work just doing a master reset and restoring the settings normally...

Please try the following:
I have the same problem but i think i have found a work around, because i am sure now it is s/w problem. After you have inserted the headphones and before you select Media Player and then Radio, try to go Media Player and then to Music. Wait there for a couple of seconds and then go back and select Radio.
By this way i can listen to Radio without having every 10 sec a restart.
I fthis doesnt work try to listen for a couple of seconds from an mp3 on your memeory card.
I hope this will help you. Please tell me if ot worked for you also.

My radio problem is slightly different.
It happened after I updated the firmware but not straight away, firstly my radio was corupt so I backed up my contacts and my calender settings then I did a master reset.
This fixed the corupt radio but now I have lost the ability to preset my stations. I only have one preset available to use. The rest of them say [empty] but when I go to put a station in them I get an error message saying Already exists.

@Tsokn1: I will try your option after i get back home.
Yesterday i w done complete update on SEUS (i allready had latest SW).
Before i started, i've done backup, but could not finish. I succeded after checking only: Calendar, Contacts, Settings and Unified inbox.
Than i did SW update/repair.
After it was done I tried the radio. It worked. After i we restored mentioned (up) backup data, the radio stoped working again (same thing: corupt). It's also true that when restoring data at the end I got the message ("completed with exceptions" or something like this). Later i will try a master reset and restoring only callendar and contacts.
Definetly is something wrong with backup....
CYA,
m
