Whoo hoo 4.00.21 success! :-)

OK.. so I am new, and excited. I have had alot happen to my trusty old tmobile pocket pc phone over the last two days.
First, I got it unlocked by tmobile two days ago and then switched to ATT. Big big plus for me here where I live as my tmobile service would not work at home, SMS and voicemail notifications were rarely recieved. So far so good with ATT, in fact I get the notifications almost instantly, and I have FULL service with ATT at my home now.
Ok.. then yesterday and today I got interested in the idea of upgrading to the 2003 software. Went ahead and bit the bullet and did it. So far so good. I am now running:
ROM Version: 4.00.21 ENG
ROM Date: 8/11/03
Radio Version: 6.18.00
Protocol Version: 324e4
I have not noticed any real issues yet. I have noticed that it locked up on me once when changing a theme I believe. But I did a soft reset and the change was made, I then changed it to another theme to test and no problem.
I dont seem to have the sliding backlight settings I noticed some where else. But I do think like the signal bar meter better as it is clearer now to the eye when you have even one bar. As well as love the mute, and the dual volume slider.
I thought I read there was a higher version radio stack some where, but I have to find that again.
All in all very happy. Happy with the new ROM and tools and forums made available by XDA-Developers, happy with ATT service and hope to be reporting back more good news in the future.
ok.. figured out the sliding backlight
I guess I got confused and thought the sliding backlight control I saw was related to the 2003 ROM, when in fact I guess it was seen by me on the XDA version 2. So, that clears that up for me.
Now to just get the newest radio stack...

No problem on the radio stack, I just need confirmation on what network you're on AT&T or T-Mobile so I'll know which stack to send.
Also I'll need an email address to send to, PM me on that.
BTW good work on the upgrade. :lol:
thank
OK.. radio is now updated to A.20.10 which should be the latest ATT radio version correct ? I have noticed one odd thing about after I upgraded to the ATT radio is that it no longer says what network I am connected to as it did with the tmobile radio.
I also noticed something stange with the 2003 software and GPRS. Seems there is no "end" option to end the GPRS connection.
All in all I am pleasantly surprised about how easy and smooth all has gone in doing all of this. I like the always connected GPRS.
thanks
Yes you are correct A.20.10 is the latest ATT radio stack!
Good obs on noticing that the AT&T stack doesn't show what network you're using, it was also the first thing I noticed too! :wink:
Yea the only way to end GPRS now its to press the Red phone button or buy Spb GPRS Monitor

Congratulations on the unlocking! 8)
As far as upgrading to Pocket PC Phone edition 2003 you can build your own from Jeff's kitchen at:
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/
or you can download it from Yorch's web site at:
http://www.yorch.net
Note: its located under software.
BTW what radio stack does your SX56 currently have if its less than A.20.10 you'll want to upgrade that too?
HTH

Greedy greedy man...

Well lets just say I loved my SX56 when I first saw it, bought it, worked great upgraded it with the AT&T WM2003 ROM, now it is just a pretty PDA that can some times do phone.
The radio stack upgrade just destroyed what little signal I was alredy getting on my SX56. Now I GET NOTHING. IT IS DISCUSSTING.
If any one knows how I can get back a original 2002 ROM and radio stack??????
Anyone knows please email me at [email protected]

No this doesn't mean you have to throw your phone out. You just have to be a little more patient.
The people who use this forum aren't all from the same timezone and don't all have the ability to read this from work so it may take a couple of days to get a response.
I haven't done what you have some unable to help. Just don't get despondant that have you haven't had a response yet.
I've heard mixed reports of the 1.41 radio - some good and some bad. I tried 1.41 but eventually went back to the 1.38 radio because it is the most stable in many of the countries I work in. I didn't use the 1.41 radio in Poland but did have problems with it in Czech republic which is why I downgraded.
There are reports of dropped calls for this radio in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303378 so it may be a good idea for you to read through that.
Personally, I'd drop down to radio 1.38.00.10 - get it here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms,
BUT before you change the radio, make sure you have Hard-SPL 2.10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 because this will help you recover your phone if something goes wrong.
It's still the same my phone can't make a call always drop after few seconds, i change ratio on 1.38.00.10 and 1.38.00.01 latest UK because I'm in Scotland right now and still is the same, meaby there is a chane to clean everything and upload on my spv again, if yes please for a tip how to do thant, or any difrend idea? Please help me because i start losing my mind and i have latest hard SPL by the way.And alsow i have reception on my phone everything sims ok but i can't make a call.

Hi der_tiger,,, I've been playing about with black Dymond and various Radios in Scotland with varing results.. IMHO generally all the 1.4# radio Roms had issues with missing calls dropping radio signals etc.. I've reverted back to 1.38.00.10 as it seams the most stable for us in jock-land.
Once you've reflashed your rom I would recommend you reflash black Dymond, I always get a more stable system by reflashing the System ROM "AFTER" i change the Radio rom.....not sure why.
Oh one other thing I noticed, this might just be an Orange thing, but If I manualy select the network ie in my case Orange rather than the phone Auto selecting networks I don't get any issues with signal drop-outs !!!! go figure !!
anyway hope this works for you too
Hi it's me again i have big favor to you mates. Can someone may send me on my e-mail [email protected] his own rom an configs from SPV M3100 with working in UK, please because i try everything and my phone still don't wand make a call.

Please help!! SX66 radio

I've loved my Blue Angel for 2 1/2 years thanks to xda-developers, but right now I just wanna throw it away!
I have a Cingular SX66 (PH20B1) running WM6 from Xplode (6.00.00.WWE) and the radio 1.15. After I upgraded to WM6 everything was kind of OK I thought, until I realized that sometimes calls weren't getting through to me and I was getting 'No service' too often. That's when I upgraded the radio to 1.15. I was getting the no radio error, but I found through searching that if I soft reset and keep the phone charged the radio comes back.
Here's my problem.. even when the phone gets out of 'No service' and finds the network (even showing me full signal strength) I can't make calls! Calls won't come through to me! It's pretty useless as a phone, but it seems to be usually able to send text messages if I have the network. It takes endless soft resets and long waiting just to get it to see the network, and then the phone still doesn't work.
The sim card is fine, and it seems the problem is the same if I downgrade to 2003SE (by the way, I only seem to find T-mobile ROMs that work.. don't know where the WM2003SE ROM is I originally had on here).
The phone only seems to work sometimes if I after I soft-reset, I make the call while the BA is still on the cradle.
If anyone knows of a solution I'd really appreciate it.. on WM2003 my SX66 would only act funny if the charge fell to 60%. Now it's wacky with all the up/downgrading/charging/soft-resetting I've tried.
Thanks!
Additional info
I don't know if this is related, but I have the storage almost full of installed programs and the device is much slower now. Also, the Data Connection buttion is grayed out in HTC Comm Manager.
The phone seems to be working right now. Give it an hour and it'll probably be wacked again
Final solution for 'No service'
Hi burnblue...
Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340557
This resolved my problem...
1) In WM2003 and install bandsel .CAB
2) Choose a band of your operator gsm/country (in Brazil, for my operator is 900/1800Mhz (Operator "Claro" and "TIM")... here in Brazil we have another operator what works in 850mHz (Operator "Vivo").
3) If you want, upgrade your rom for WM6 (much better)... your band selection will be fixed (came to wm2003). I don´t undertand about fixing a band remain after rom version upgrade... No explain about this.
No more issue about radio gsm signal, be happy....
Works perfect to me, I´m 100% certain about this procedure.

"no service" is a issue...
Your problem about slower is another problem...
Storage full ~ slower... I had problem´s about these in anothers pda´s.
Take easy to storage your files, much components in today screen, etc...
Use sd card, this help.
Upgrade for Wm6 (xplode rom) and be happy...
WM6 by xplode is faster.
What´s your radio rom version? 1.15 ?
If < 1.15, then upgrade....

not yet
Thanks for the advice rod, but I still have problems.
1. I saw that thread too, and it's not that I have totally 'No service' -- I have signal but calls just won't connect. It might work one minute, but 90% of the time it just doesn't.
2. I can't find a working ROM for my SX66 to downgrade to 2003. I remember weeks ago when I was trying to fix this I think I found a T-mobile ROM, but nothing is working for my downgrade now.
Why is my phone radio so unreliable?
Strange problem...
I have some tests for you...
1) Do you enable PIN ? If yes, then disable.
2) Do you upgrade your radio rom to 1.15? No? Then apply.
3) Do you have problems with anothers gsm chip ? Your SX66 is gsm or cdma ? Possible issue in your gsm chip, maybe... Try another gsm, another operator...
4) What´s the message errors or problems with upgrade or downgrade rom ?
If your sx66 is a cdma phone, sorry, I don´t have any idea how to help you.
In this case, ignore all my questions. My experience in Blue Angel is about gsm...
Take care...
(Send a message if you resolve or not this case...)
