hi all!
i just upgraded to ppc2000 /version 4.00.01 eng on my austrian t-mobile mda.
that does work. but as i tried the earlier version of it (imho 3.xx) before i think that connecting to gprs was WAYS faster. so i thought of up/downgrading my radio stack which is 3.16 at the moment.
some ppl are saying they use version 4 or even 6... BUT: can i use them as well? what are the limitations ???
here we use gsm 900/1800 so i guess any us-att stack that is meant for 1900 won't work, right?
so: what version to use, and what do you suggest?
and one more Q: upgrading OS does NOT upgrade the radio stack, right?
pls anybody confirm.
thanx!
regards ize|man
and one more Q: upgrading OS does NOT upgrade the radio stack, right?
Yes, that is right!

As long as you are using a cooked ROM, or .nbf file on SD card ... be careful as some opertors' upgrade contains both RSU and ROM update in one exe file!
Many people have said that their running t-mobile radio version 6.24, I'm currently on 6.18 and want the always on GPRS. I've searched the site but can't find where to get the radio stack and how to upgrade it? I already upgraded to ROM 4.00.16 and it works great.

Tom- Are you sure you want to do this? I beleive that 6.24 is a beta version. I haven't heard a lot of feedback on it, but I have heard that going back to 6.18 is going to be near if not impossible after the upgrade.
I held off on the radio stack upgrade because I don't want the official T-Mobile upgrade to have issues. By only upgrading the OS, I can easily re-flash to the original factory rom before running the official T-Mobile upgrade when it is released. That upgrade could potentially fail if the radio stack upgrade portion detects a version other than the official ones that it expects. Not sure on this though...
Either way, below is a link to an RAR file that has the OS and the radio stack. Extract the .EXE using WinRAR or the like and give it a go. Just to be on the safe side, I wouldn't run this update on any other OS than the last official T-Mobile upgrade.
Good Luck

trhuseby,
did you try the new t-mobile as indicated by digital_1? I am tempted to try it also and wanted to know your results...thanks!
I'm going to wait until the formal release from T-Mobile, just too afraid I won't be able to upgrade to it if I try the beta above.

Like digital_1 stated its a pain to downgrade the radio stack so be absolutely sure you what to do it and will be happy with the results.
What I would do first is find somebody in my area that has already
done the upgrade and see what their reception / performance is like.
In most case the reception/performance should be better.
As for me I found the the AT&T radio stack was much better in my area (Las Vegas, NV) than the T-Mobile stack and is my radio stack of choice with that said I'll be staying with it no matter whats to come. No more radio stack upgrades for me.
So if you upgrade to 6.24 and it works good in your area stay with it no matter what!
Warning the signal meter is known to show lower signal strength but actually the reception / performance is better than what is being shown.
Anyhow once you have the needed files follow the below to upgrade:
Copy RSUpgrade.exe, RSUpgrade.cp64
,monitor_ul_bs.map and monitor_ul_bs.m0 to your devices windows root folder then from Pocket File Explore double tap RSUpgrade.exe and this will start the radio upgrade.
HTH
digital_1,
Just to make sure I don't mess up ....
You are suggesting that I have 4.00.10 ENG T-Mobile US on before I upgrade to 4.00.16 ENG T-Mobile US, right? I currently have 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 on my t-mobile device.
Just making sure! Thanks!

obelcher-
I don't want to give the wrong impression- I've never ran this update nor probably will I because I don't want to mess up my radio stack. Remember- that this .EXE will upgrade your radio stack, and as Qman pointed out in another thread, it is difficult if not impossible to downgrade the stack if it doesn't work out. Make sure you read all the posts in this thread so that you are well educated on the risks/advantages. That being said...
I would reflash the phone back to the latest official T-Mobile release before running the update. 4.00.11ENG isn't an official T-Mobile release- it's beta. I think the last official version (at least for me in US) was 3.08 (or 3.14.40 if you ran the update from T-Mobile).
I dunno why people keep saying it is near impossible to downgrade your radio stack. It is neither impossible nor hard at all.
You just need to copy 4 files to your windows folder on your XDA and run the upgrade EXE file. It does it's thing and you do a hard reset and you're done.
Okay I hope you are right and I can revert to 6.18 because I just upgraded to 6.24.. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Wasnt somebody offering an XDA free to anybody that had a downgrade radio stack solution, if its easy why would they do that?

Don't do it!
Radio stack 6.18 is not a separate upgrade like 6.24 is, 6.18 is included in the ROM update. You'll be sorry if you do!

Too late! I already upgraded it! Seems to work great though!

Have you actually tried this before? Going from 6.24 back to 6.18?
I am under the understanding that the radio upgrade is a forward-only process- meaning that it will check to make sure that an earlier version of the RSU isn't overwriting a more current version. Based on reading posts here, it has nothing to do with version numbers but something internally coded.
Regarding the free XDA- well cruisin-thru was right. The thread is marked "FREE XDA". They are offering a free XDA to someone who can downgrade a radio stack. None have claimed the XDA to date!
Well I tried the 6.24 radio stack and ended up going back to AT&T's A20 stack.
Had no problem at all, just put the 4 files people say in these forums into the windows folder of the XDA and run the EXE file. a few minutes later it is done, and you do a hard reset and everything is fine.
6.24 Radio Stack
Can someone tell me where I can get just the 6.24 radio stack without the 4.00.16 ROM?
I've been running 6.24 since yesterday and I the thing I like the best is the ability for the GPRS to stay on while the PDA is off (i.e. display blank). This allows me to wireless activesync and download my IMAP accounts in the background without me having to turn on the unit.. Only had a few wierd issue yesterday where SMS messages came in with the last half of the messages scrambled...
I found the answer to my questions...thanks anyway. The answer (thanks to mdavidm):
"The latest, unless I missed something, is 6.24.00, and is available as part of the TMo 4.00.10 ROM update at
http://www.romanweb.com/yorch/official-tmo2003.rar which includes the 6.24 radio and 4.00.10. To install, REMOVE YOUR XDA FROM THE CRADLE. Unzip the file, and then cancel out. It creates a directory called RUU under Program Files. Place your xda back on the cradle and copy the two files entitled monitor_ul_bs and the two files entitled RSUpgrade from the RUU\English directory to the Windows directory on your xda. Then execute the RSUpgrade executable file on the xda. This will install the 6.24 radio. Once complete, a hard reset might be required, but normally that is not necessary.

I thought we were talking about reverting back to radio stack v6.18 which would be a down grade! :wink:

FYI- I get that with the old 6.18 stack sometimes too. May not be releated to the RSU.

I will say this is absolutely the best Radio Stack I've had! No problems except if I have my earphone plugged in and I'm using my wireless car radio transmitter for mp3s plugged in. It seems to think it is to engage the speakerphone, but it is also trying to use the hands free microphone.... resulting in you need to unplug the hands free and the transmitter plug. Than again it could be i designed the transmitter and plug wrong in some way... :roll:
Anyway, I didn't need to do a hard resit, but a soft one was needed.
Hi every one,

What ROM are you currently running!
I ask this because the 6.18 radio stack is part of the current T-Mobile 2002 ROM which can be found here:
T-Mobile Current ROM Update:
http://www.t-mobile.com/products/handhelds/pocketpc/downloads.asp
Will upgrade to this version:
ROM version: 3.14.40 ENG
ROM date: 11/26/02
Radio: 6.18
Protocol: 324e4
HTH
Is Radio Stack 6.24 compatible with the current release of 2002 for T-Mobile? If so where can one find it and information on installing it? I'm interested in getting the "always on" capability and tired of waiting for T-Mobile to provide the 2003 upgrade
Yes...
I would also really like to have a radio upgrade for my QTEK 1010 something along the line og 4.10 or 4.20 not 4.21.
Please help me.
I can't wait.
THANKS

Stack 6.24 is compatible but you won't get the "always on" capability until
you upgrade the ROM.
For the visit:

As for the radio stack send me a PM with your email address and I'll
forward you a copy.

Radio Stack Upgrade for Tmobile PPC phone
Hey Qman can you send me a copy of the radio stack upgrade as well. I am in the process of installing testing some of the beta builds of tmobile 2003 on my device and want to get a better working radio stack than I have, I have a generic one that is not working too well.

Rumors
I've heard a lot of people hosing their radio with the 6.24 update. I have 6.18 now. Is there a way I can back up my radio stack (using serial cable), go up to 6.24, and still feel secure with the knowledge I can go down to 6.18 again?
Thanks.
Radio Stack Upgrade, no problems
I just upgraded recently to the tmob 6.24 without any problems. Found the instructions for copying the four files directly onto the pocket pc and installing from there.
I've also downgraded that same way, there's absolutely no magic, apps, SD card crap, or anything required.
Both stacks worked without any trouble, the .24 having always-on and much much better luck getting a decent Internet connection speed.
Just my two cents. Those people that are so worried about downgrading and all these stories about the radio being hosed, I have no idea... copying those files right onto the pda always worked for me.
You downgraded from 6.24 to what 6.18?
If so send me a copy of the four needed files to downgrade back to 6.18, for my records. Because as far as I know/seen radio stack v6.18 was built-in the latest T-Mobile Pocket PC 2002 ROM update, hence no files!
But if you got them please send me a copy!

Confirming you're looking for Radio stack 6.24?
If so I can do that but if its 6.18 you're out of luck!
Can I also please get a copy of RSU 6.24? Thanks a lot.

Anybody knows how to unlock the T-Mobile XDA with this radio stack. I have downgraded by ROM to 3.17 but the XDAUnlock still wouldn't work. I get Error Getting Unlock Code. Based on what I see it does not seem to be a good idea to downgrade the RSU. If I do downgrade I can't find how to upgrade the RSU back to the current version.
1. Any help?
2. Will the XDAUnlock be modified to support this radio stack?
I agree with you it's not safe to flash the RSU, but if it's the only way then you will have to do it ... or it's better to get the lock key from your operator.
I downgraded the RSU...
Worked!
I tried unlocking the phone...
Worked!
Now I see no signal.... Do I have to upgrade the RSU again?
If so how can I do that?
thanks in advance for your help!!!
Upgraded Radio from uspocketpcphone.com and it worked!!!!!
HI. if you are trying to upgrade the radio stack, make sure that the radio stack is built for what kind of WM OS. For example, if you downgrade or upgrade the radio stack that you with Tmoble, make sure that the radio stack must support you Tmobile OS. I have tried may times and found out that AT And T just suits for AT&T rom, Tmobile, just for Tmobile rom, O2 must for O2 Rom. There is no way that you can swap one radio stack to another rom.
Again, I don't have radio stack 6.25 but I have radio stack 6.24 for Tmoble. I will upload if you need it.
Again, if you don't mind, can upload the radio stack 3.17 for me. thanks.
Please download here:
You were right!!!
I wish I could have read your post earlier.
I upgraded the radio on my own phone (i was working on my friends phone yesterday). Then there was no signal.
I tried downgrading to 3.17 (on yorch.net) and it froze and now my phone is dead. it restarted but it shows no radio version and no signal.
any ideas???

Is this the latest, greatist RSU for the Wallaby?
I know there is a confusion of versions out there, and I can't seem to find if I have the latest one? :?
My radio stinks! I think I'm going to try to upgrade it.
