I have been using the 1.2 ROM with my Tmobile XDA - Works GREAT. I have not updated the radio. Should I update to the new Tmobile and then go back to the 1.2 ROM or use the 2003 ROM from either Tmobile or another source, or should I update to the ATT radio and then one of the above.
Thanks

Hi
What is the latest radio upgrade for t-mobile and where can i get it.
My device info. :
Rom ver. : 3.14.40 ENG
Rom date: 11/26/02
Radio ver.:6.18
Protocol ver. :324e4
Thanks :shock:
u have the latest official tmo upgrade
What about unofficial one but 100% working without problems?
u can upgrade it to ATT radio stack if u want. however people had problems reverting back to TMO radio stack. u can upgrade the OS part to 2003 if u want and leave the radio stack as is.
is anybody have the original radio stack for TMO as a file? I am thinking of reverting from At&T stack.

As far as I know once you have gone ATT you can't come back....
OR, wait until T-Mobile releases their own upgrade
any word if they will release an upgrade and if so will it contain the radio stack. I found the At&t stack kind of buggy. Maybe it's just where I am but the GPRS will droput for no reason and then I loose voice also and it will not come back until I do a soft reset.

According to Lazarus ( an ATT Network Guru) the ATT radio stack has been tweaked and optimized for ATT's network, so that would explain why others have experienced trouble....
Oh shoot, I wish I have read this post before I upgrade to the ATT radio stack. Couldn't we simply download the latest ROM from T-Mobile and revert back to the T-mobile radio stack and rom?
I tried it just crashes right after it starts. It basically says that it can't upgrade because the radio stack you have is already higher. Guess we got to wait for TMo to release something higher. I am at A.20.10 and 4.00.01Eng for os.
Try running the "Adaptrom" program in your T-mobile application upgrade folder.

it has nothing to do with adaptrom. radio stack kicks in after u flash back the OS ROM
I'd keep the ATT stack
If you use the T-mobile (US) radio stack with windows mobile 2003, you don't get always on GPRS, so I'd stick with the ATT stack for now (and I have!).

ATT radio works fine for me too. It is more that the network drops you or you lose data connection between cells, or the network has a load balance that give placement to voice users over data when bandwidth is needed. Not so much that your radio stack does it.
On the other hand just incase anyone wants to prove my theory wrong :wink: has anyone in the US upgraded their radio stack to O2 4.21 and experienced a better performance than AT&T's radio stack :?: This means you probably already had to manually switch the default band 8) first?
Let me know I love to be wrong :shock: ......I'm only that much smarter than I was yesterday :roll: :lol:
I think 4.21 would only work in Europe. You'll probably get no signal after you upgrade from At&t stack. I am going to stick with At&t i think I just got crappy coverage in the area that's all.
@amarandei
4.21 works great here in austria with t-mobile. i have gprs always on (on now since i rebooted 3 days ago).
and if it needs to be connected that works WAYS faster that before (with 2002 and 3.16)
converning speed i can't say anything positive nor negative. it just works. sometimes slower sometimes faster.

TMO radio stack installation
I have TMO radio version 6.02
I downloaded the latest update from TMO (US) which claimed it would upgrade the radio but it did not appear to update the radio stack. Could that be becaues I am running the developers rom and it thinks I have a more recent version? If so how can I update the radio stack without having to go back to the old rom first?
:?
Having problems with Radio Version 4.21 from England, ie the phone will not work (I am in Australia). The phone was working OK until I performed the upgrade
It has been suggested that I install Radio Version 6.12 from T-mobile and I have downloaded the file from Yorch, this comes up as an nbf file and I wonder if I should flash it as I can not find RSUupgrade.exe. Any suggestions ?
Chris
You downloaded the wrong file go back to Yorch's site and look under Upgrades and download "USA T-mobile Latest Radio Stack (Unofficial)
RU 6.24.00".
HTH
dont Australia use 900/1800 like europe ?
if that is the case the us RSU would ruin the phone even more

Radio Stack for Australia
Wed Nov 12, 2003 13:10
Hello Qman,
Thank you for your reply! But great news here as I have managed to get my RSU version to work in Australia.
My carrier is Optus and SIM card is fine.
Basically by trying most RSU versions I wasn’t able to get the phone to work. Funny thing is I tried the RSU version for the O2, which is supporting here in Australia but to no avail! I ended up using the new T- Mobile for the US and works like a dream have fully signal as well.
New version is RSU 6.24.
Cheers Erebus,

Further to my problems I upgraded to the T-mobile 2003 ROM an their latest Radio stack 6.24 and all is working OK.
I had sent the XDA to Melbourne (Australia) to the accredited Service company (Accord) and they had sent it back saying that it was buggered. I had some very helpful advice from Peter and Joe and have everything working fine. Curiously, when I had XDA 1.2 and the T-mobile Radiostack the phone kept crashing after reboot. Since upgrading to T-Mobile 4.00.21 ENG and Radio version 6.24.00 all works well.
I did try to download some Medical software (MIMS) and thisd has proven to be a bit of a problem. The tech dude at MIMS was not too impressed with Pocket-PC 2003
Chris
Great, glad to hear it all worked out ok! 8)
Seems R 6.24 works in many wheres ... I put it on a friend's XDA and it works now (Egypt 900/1800) ... just wonder if it's wise to go for ROM 4.00.21 or keep the 4.00.11 .... I heared that you can't change the ROM after T-mobile ROMs ... is that true ?

Thats great news on RS 6.24, thanks for the tip!
As far as not being able to change ROM's after upgrading to a T-Mobile WM2003 ROM, it will still work but you must use the SD card boot loader upgrade method.

Help needed, this morning I flash my XDA with USA T-mobile Latest Radio Stack (Unofficial) but not working for my GSM 900. So I flash it back to O2 Latest Official Radio Stack RU 4.21 but it flash until 83% stop forever. So i do a soft rest. Then my XDA can't boot. Can someone help me out on this method? I'm in Malaysia. Using 900/1800 bandwidth.
Hi ...
If you have taken SD backup before upgrading, then go for bootloader menu, press Calendar button, and turn off the Radio part. Try to flash your XDA back to the original ROM and RSU, and then perform a hard reset.
In case you didn't, try the Qtek offical RSU 3.25 from http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific. It works good for Asian operators.
Good luck
Problem FIXED... Thanks for the big help.
Hello,
Long time ago I flashed my XDA with the 4.00.11 ENG rom cooked.
I don't find this version anymore.
So could you tell me which is the best rom (Siemens rom or rom cooked at yorch's ..?) actually and which is the best/last radio stack (i'm in france) I have the 4.21
Thanks
best rom out is vA.30.09 AT&T official 2003 release
i use o2s v4.21 radio very fast rom and works fine much better then v4.11.00
Hmm.. where can I download that AT&T ROM ?
Which one is better compare to ROM 4.01.00 ?
Where can I download the ROM 4.01.00 ?
Tks.
You can cook your ROM here http://www.yorch.net/
But I don't see 4.01.00
I see there is the official siemens Rom which seems very good too ..?
v4.01.00 seemed extreamly slow and sluggish but stable the AT&T rom is just as stable but about 200 times faster lol much more better
Hello, I'm farely new I was running I think 3.17.03 ENG i think and I wanted to see wm2003SE and I updated it But I've got few questions
I'm running Radio Version 6.18 and my rom version went back down to
3.04.00 ENG is that good that it down graded from 3.17 to 3.04
I'm in IT so I know alot of stuff and I'm thinking that when you downgrade from video drivers you loose stuff so is this like video drivers downgrading?
and the Radio Version does that control how well you recieve Signal? and Do I have the latest version
I have PW10B1 It's T-Mobile the first Gen of Pocket PC Phones and its unlocked I've had it for very long time and wanted to check out different roms also i've been trying to search but too many items was hoping some people could help me out thankyou very much in advance

Versions are just numbers. If anyone decides to "create" a new version, and it should have the number 3.04. than it will have the number 3.04.
In this case it doesn´t cause any loosing stuff.....

Hi all, Does anyone know which radio the official T-Mobile UK 2.1 RUU is using.
Cheers,
Higgsy
Menu->Settings->About Phone->Baseband version.
I am pretty sure it's the same one as the GSM unbranded one, which is the most recently made available one.
15.14 iirc
Yeah I know the radio I'm using, theory was that I would try the radio that the official T Mob RUU uses, as that one has been tested on T Mob. Pulser - cheers mate - might give that one a try, still using the old JU radio at the mo
Seems like T-Mobile UK are pushing a new one out via OTA. Did a fresh one last night and got.............
Baseband version - 63.18.55.06MU_6.35.13.09
Anyone know which radio for 3 UK is best ? Please provide a link to the latest. Updating radio loses root ?
