SX56 upgrade nightmare - help still needed

Okay, newbie upgrader here.
I've read a bunch in these forums, and it's been very helpful.
I upgraded my personal PPCPE (TMO) using their software, and it works great.
I was round my friend's house last night, and he has a PPCPE (AT&T).
Well, we downloaded the v30.09 firmware from Siemens website.
We backed up all the data.
We intalled the firmware.
At the end of the firmeware update, it said to turn the device off by using the hard reset button (that you have to unsccrew the stylus for.) and leave it off for a minute.
We did this.
It then said to turn it back on using the same reset button.
We did this.
However, we get the "Designed for Windows Mobile" logo, and the AT&T logo.
We get ROM versions:
G1.3.3
RA.33.02
A.30.09
After that nothing.
Having hastily given him my phone, I came home with his broken phone.
Well, having done a LOT of reading on this site, I got to use Jeff's tools to create a bootimage on an SD card, and I have been able to get the image flashed and loaded.
They device now boots.
However, I want to get the AT&T software on there as this is what's gonna make my buddy the most happy.
The image I have on there right now is SERv12.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me the best way to get this back to AT&T software running WM2003.
Thanks.

Okay, more info.
I have been successfully upgrading the ROM using the SD flash method.
I have been using Jeff's XDAtools to create the images.
I have been downloading ROM's from yorc and xdaweblink.
I have always tried versions without any software added to the ROM.
I have tried every version of 30.09 that I could get my hands on, even the one in the "SX56 upgrade utility" folder that the Siemens site created.
None have worked.
I have tried 4.00.05 ENG from yorc - didn't work (cool southpark screen though.)
I have tried 4.01.16 ENG from weblink - didn't work (Tmo verison)
I have tried 4.01.00 ENG beta from weblink - didn't work (Tmo beta version.)
I have tried A.30.07 ENG beta from weblink - didn't work (AT&T NFR version.)
I have tried 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro from yorc -
When I say that the version don't work; here's what I mean.
I get the logo screen.
I get the three ROM versions in the bottom right.
The system then locks up and does not progress any further.
I have left the system on overnight with no difference.
The backlight comes on, but nothing else works.
I have tried the upgrades with and without a SIM card in place.
The phone was originally locked, but has subsequently been unlocked.
I have finally tried going back to A.20.17 from yorc - the original AT&T WM2002 version.
This version at least runs.
I still have the new radio stack running, but I am back to WM2002.
Does anyone have ANY idea how I might get this upgraded to WM2003.
My buddy want to run the MS Voice Command.
Also, with the updated Radio Stack, will he be able to connect continiously to the GPRS connection (sorry, I don't know too much about AT&T.) He really want the always-on internet.
Thanks for ANY advice given.

This happened to me using a mmc memory card to do the upgrade, it looked like it was doing everything ok, completed and gave the ok but on cold boot just hung, try another sd card, it just MIGHT work.

I'll look around for anohter SD card and see if that helps.
FYI, I've tried running the upgrade from the cradle/USB a couple of times, but that made no difference.
Also, since I was able to go back to WM2002 with the SD card, I can't see it being bad.
But thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go.

no signal / provider, tried everything

hey all,
I've been with the xda I from the very beginning and have always upgraded the roms to newer versions. However, a few months ago I was happy with my 2003 and didn't upgrade.
When TomTom stopped working I thought a nice new upgrade was in order and I cooked up a new rom and installed it. I played around with it, and I think (don't remember anymore) that I've touched the band tab.
Since then I have not been able to get a signal or find a network AT ALL. I have tried everything.
I couldn't install through the normal way anymore, so I resorted to SD-installing.
Spent days here with xda-tools, tried every rom version, even installed official radio stack again. Nothing helps. I have tried selecting the band at the wallaby menu. No go!!
I'm very afraid that I've messed it up.
I will boot into the OS, but no signal. With some roms it will give me the phone setup, with most it won't.
Right now I have the german t-mobile installed. It just says: no service.
Some (current) stats:
Wallaby bootloader 5.14
R 4.21.00
Protocol: 32S54
4.01.19 GER
Is my XDA I lost??
Some pointers would be great! I'm out of idea's.
Regards,
Ruurd

I've had this recently - the way around it is simple, assuming you know what band your network provider is on.
Go to the bootloader menu (soft reset and power button), and select the band on there. I had "no service" on Orange, until I selected "1800" on the menu that is, and hey presto, working phone!

I had tried that already, and it didn't work.
However, I just did it again (tried out all combinations) and yes, it did work!
pffeww!! :lol:
thnx

GSM Problems

Hi everyone !
I'm new here (in the Hermes forums). I have a prophet, but now I bought a Hermes.
The guy who originally owned (the phone is used) told me that when he flashed it, he had this problem that I'm going to tell you now, so I really don't know what could had happened to him during the flashing process.
The problem I have is that the Hermes works very well, the Wifi, bluetooth, card reader, everything EXCEPT the PHONE, let's say, the GSM interface.
When I turn it on, everything works well, (I DON'T SEE THE 'NO GSM' THING), and I have the antenna icon with the exclamation mark (!) next to it. When I go into there, in the phone configuration, if I try to select a network manually, after a few seconds it says that it can't retrieve the list of networks, that I have to try later. If I go to the band configuration, and I put it to use only gsm, for example, after a few seconds it says that it can't change the configuration, that I have to try later.
I tryed with different sims, of different companies.
When I bought the phone, it had a spanish Schap's 3.54b, and the Olipro 2.30 spl.
I tryed hard resetting, but nothing. I flashed the original shipped rom WM6.1 WWE, downloaded from here, and nothing. NOTE: I had to flash with the sd method because if I try to do it with the computer, I have the 260 error (or 262 i dont remember).
I changed the HARDSPL to theOlipro 2.10, hard reseted again, and still de same thing.
The IPL is 1.04.
NOTE: When I flashed the WWE rom, I flashed the .nbf file inside, but the SPL.nbf I didn't flashed.
What can I do? ANY SUGGESTIONS ?
I read a lot of things in the forums and in the wiki, but nothing. I've just finished downloading the Schaps WM6 4.31, now i will try to flash it with the sd thing.
Also, I have the protocol 32.80.7020.20H. I've read it somewhere but I don't remember what the protocol is. I HAVEN'T CHANGED THIS since I bought it, could that be my problem?
Currently, I have this (before flashing Schaps):
-Device Information:
ROM: 3.54.255.3
ROM DATE: 07/05/07
Radio Version: 1.47.00.10
Protocol: 32.80.7020.20H
ExtROM: 3.54.255.104
-In the bootloader:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro

Maybe the antenna is no good...
1st thing I'd try though is to flash a new radio on (use sd card method). Worst that can happen is "No GSM" but as you can't use it anyway theres no harm in trying...
Check what radio rom you have 1st though so you can flash back if need be.
If you can get a "broken" Hermes (same model is best) then you can replace parts and see if that helps. I did this and found one of the parts that was causing a problem with my jasjam was the flywheel.
Do a search for the HTC service manual or go to Mike Channons web site to get heaps of manuals and tutorials...
Cheers...

The phone is near new, let's say, it was used for less than a month, he had it a week or two and then flashed it and had that problem, so I don't think that it's and antenna problem, and if it hadn't antenna, it has some signal of some kind.
Any other ideas?
I changed the radio when i Flashed the WWE version. I'm now downloading this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298520
Any suggestions? is there any problem using the AKU 3 or something?
Thanks =)

Hey,
What about the protocol version? can I change it? how? cause I flashed it and the radio changed but the protocol is the same.
I'll try to flash it with windows vista, to see if I can, because XP won't let my.. olnly SD flashing

Ok, I Installed a cingular flash, now I've protocol 32.67.7020.10H. Radio:1.34.00.10 and still having the same problem. I don't know what to do now... any suggestions? !
thanks
PD: also tryed putting a little piece of paper over the sim but it didn't changed anything
PD2: The error I get when I go to Phone Settings -> Netowrk, and I choose "Manual" is: "Unable to read setting from the netowrk. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again.

Help: Cant Make Calls

I have Qtek 2020 with Rom CE Version 1.72WWE, but every time i try to upgrade to new roms:
(Previously Sundream's WM 6.5 WWE) and (Currently Syed Ather's WM 6.0)
Its giving me issues related to my network.
Signals are fluctuating, i cant make calls, neither recieve them, get messages in delay time more often, It avoids making me save contacts in sim card but after several attempts it succeeds.
Please Help me out. I am not getting this issue when i downgrade back to my Official Qtek 2020 1.72 Rom.

That is strange. Can you tell me, when you take your battery out, what is displayed on the sticker underneath? PH10a? PH10b?
Also, do you happen to know what Radio you are using? (The radio is seperate to the ROM).
Furthermore, and only if you remember, when you put your device into upgrade mode just before you flash a new ROM, what boot number does it say (IE Mine says V1.04 from memory).

Thanks for Reply

HTC HD2 No signal Problem??! Help!

I need help! My signal on the HTC HD2 T-Mobile USA signal is not working?! It worked the first month just perfectly, but now it's not working. It's been like this for around 3 months now, and I really want it to work! And i've tried reseting, updating the ROM, changing SIM card and put in a totally new SIM card and it's not working! But when I tried my sisters SIM card and I got signal but It didn't work to call? And my mom's SIM card I didn't have any connection..? So please please help me.
Thanks for help, Rasmus

Seems like either the Radio ROM version is not good for your phone or youmesstup with settings. What ROM version and what Radio ROM version do you have?

Thanks for the replay! My ROM version is 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
and my Radio Version is 2.10.50.26

Sound like you need to call T-Mobile and get it replaced.

While this isn't the Wizard forums, I can tell you this from my many moons of experience...you bricked your radio ROM. Goto the Wizard section and look on how to reflash the radio using SoftSPL.

Did you try going into your connections settings, manage existing settings, then going through the prompts? Sounds to me that you might have jacked something up there. I take it you can not make calls or anything? Like you have no phone connectivity?

Need some more information. First what band is the phone set to? First do a HARD RESET of the phone to get everything cleared out and set to the base settings. You should have a signal if the radio is working. What country are you in/network? Take out the SD card and see if it makes any difference.
What does the signal indicator show when the phone is on? When the phone was working did it drop calls. Did it "hunt" for a signal then find one then start hunting again? This indicates a failing radio - if this is the case the phone is never going work properly - it will only get worse and flashing a rom will not make it come back - its a chip on the motherboard and its bad.
You said you flashed a new rom - did you have any problems flashing? Did it complete? If it did without issues the radio is more than likely OK. Generally when a radio goes bad you can't flash past about 11% of completion.
From personal experience on my now sold TYTN - the radio started to go - was able to flash. Then it got really bad - no more flashing. Would freeze during the ROM update and hang up.

deea92, please go to the Wizard forums like ashasaur recommended before. You're only going to confuse users by posting here in the LEO forum.
