Failed Radio Stack Upgrade - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Ok, well, I guess I can blow even the simplest things. I tried to run the radio stack upgrade to 6.24 (from 6.18 ), but it hung at 10% and locked up my device. I had no choice but to reset, and you can imagine the result. I know about the SD method to recover blown OS roms, can the same be done for radio stack errors? What do I need to load onto an SD? Thanks in advance.

Heh, Ok, I figured the lack of response meant "go check the archives", which I did, but I'm still stuck at a certain point here.
I can put the default 3.14 T-Mobile ROM on my device and get it to boot, and then I can swap out the RSUpgrade files with the new T-mobile 6.24 versions. However, I still get stuck with the 1% error. No matter which version of the RSU I try to use (the default one on the 3.14 ROM that tries to load itself, both versions in the repair.zip file, 4.21, and 4.26) I get the 1% error.
I've tried using the 4.00.10 rom and the 4.00.21 rom, but I can't get past the boot screen - I can't get into the OS like I can with the 3.14. Is there some kind of trick to getting these to load?
Some novel observations I've made that I haven't seen listed elsewhere, so I'll jot them down here:
1. Though the battery will not charge, the device will stay powered with the charging cable. You can unplug it for about 5-10 seconds before the unit will die. If you're fast, that's enough to get an SD card in and out, but I've found that if you push up on the charging cable you can make enough room to slip the SD (or in my case, the slimmer MMC) card in and out while charging. So don't worry about the battery running down too much, you can stay powered.
2. When the radio stack upgrade process starts, the icon for the phone status in the blue bar disappears. Then, when the 1% appears, the icon reappears. Then, the flash fails. I think the failure is occuring due to some inability to sucessfully determine the phone status. Maybe there are settings in the bootloader I need to tinker with to get the flash to work? I am on Wallaby 5.15 (at least I read about doing OS ROM updates before I started )
Thanks all for any suggestions.

Try turning off your Radio from the bootloader with the OS that boots.
To get to this option while in bootloader mode press the calendar button then turn off the radio. It may take as long as an hour or two before the
radio will boot/turn.
Confirming that you did copy the needed upgrade files to your Windows folder and then ran the upgrade from there?
HTH

Yes, the GSM is turned off. In fact, I think that may be why the RSU won't work - it can't sense the radio, and thus can't flash it. Of course, I keep getting an error when I try to turn it back on ("GSM turn ON fail !!").
I do have the files for the 4.24 loaded in right now on the O2 3.17 ROM (that one boots for me as well). They are the ones I got from you (Qman).
Just FYI, at first I was having trouble getting the files to copy over the old ones: they were protected in ROM. But, I loaded the Resco File Explorer via cab installation, and that program lets me write over them. Just another tip for those playing along at home

Heh, Ok, latest update.
I've got T-mobile rom 4.00.21 loaded and booting, and I've got the 4.24 radio stack upgrade loaded in. My GSM is off. I am still getting the 1% error. I am just going to keep trying the update. Any suggestions at this point would be welcome. Thanks.

I Encounter this error already before when I am trying to update my QTEK from Radio Stack 4.21 to 6.24, I got a 1 % Error can not update Radio Stack. But now my QTEK is working perfectly fine. first thing I have done is to connect my Qtek in Cradle and access the files( even if it show on the screen "Radio Stack Upgrade Failed" ignore this thing and keep accessing the files). I copied all the files I need using the ActiveSync Explorer, I removed the RsUpgrade.lnk on the startup folder in windows to prevent the unit on keep updating whenever I reset my unit. Next I copied the Radio Stack Upgrade 6.24 files to the \windows directory then I reset my unit again, then I go to windows directory and run the RSUpgrade.exe then it start running, and I reach 100 %, but still my GSM is not working, it is always off, then I decided to hard reset my unit and upgrade it with 4.21, and it continue to load untill 100 % then I soft reset and it works, amazing.. Now my GSM is working fine. Hope this will help you.

I'm starting to see a pattern here, it appears that most and if not all of you
are trying to upgrade from radio stack 4.21! Is that correct, if so why?
Radio stack 4.21 is the latest radio stack for your area/region and is pretty much equal to our 6.24 / A.20.10 here in the US.
Hell radio stack 4.21 might even be newer hence the failure!
So stop all of this nonsense and keep 4.21. :wink:
Just out of curiosity what band was your radio set to before you started the upgrade?

Hello,
I Upgrade my friend T-Mobile that he brought from US the band is 900/1900 and it is not working here, he have 6.24. then i change the band to 900/1800 and it works perfectly here, he can even use his old sim card from T-mobile. :wink:

Ok, thanks for the tips.
Qman, I wanted to upgrade to get the always on GPRS. I guess I upgraded to the always off instead
I've tried loading the 4.21 radio stack back in, but again, I'm getting the 1% error. I'm going to try and load up the 4.00.05 rom (which is what I was using before I tried to upgrade). I used adaptrom to load that, and that must've upgraded the radio stack on me (I had no intention to upgrade the radio stack from the original, but I guess it was automatic or something).
Is the version of 4.00.05 in the ROM kitchen the unadulterated version (providing I uncheck the "Add programs" box), or is it still stripped? I'm not sure if I can find the original 4.00.05 rom that I used: does anyone know where I can d/l it from again? Thanks.

So that means you changed the radio stack right! If so what did you change/upgrade it to? Because radio stack 6.24 only supports GSM 900
Europe and 1900 North America.

Confirming that with ROM 4.00.05 you're doing a SD card install or a .exe install from your PC? Also how were you doing the re-install of radio stack 4.21? PC install or did you copy the files over to the Windows folder and run the upgrade from for the device?
As far as the kitchen goes I believe if you leave off/uncheck Add Software and modify ROM you'll get an unadulterated ROM.

Yes, when I went to 4.00.05 the first time, I used the .exe method with a rom package I got from Yorch's website. I guess it automatically updated my radio stack when I installed it, since it went to 4.21 and I didn't run a separate update that I know of. Before that, I was running the latest official T-mobile ROM (3.14).
Since that initial OS upgrade, I have been using the SD method to swap ROMs around. (Again, I'm still on Wallaby 5.15.)
For the 4.21 upgrade, I've been doing the PC install. The version of the 4.21 RSU I downloaded was in a cab, so I just that the installer take care of it for me. For the 6.24 I got from you, I copied the files directly to the \windows directory.

Ah, poop. I was poking around in the forums some more and found the bootloader info page. I think I may have screwed my unit up worse than I thought.
In the process of trying to get my radio to turn off/on, I hit pretty much every option under the GSM menu, including GSM reset. Do you think that might have killed it?

Ok check and see if you have a RSUpgrade link in your Startup folder, if so remove it. Now do a search/find for the below 4.21 upgrade files and if by chance they're not in your Windows folder move them there and run RSUpgrade.
RSUpgrade.exe
RSUpgrade.cp64
monitor_ul_bs.map
monitor_ul_bs.m0

Ok, thanks for the tips. I think I've done that, but I will do it again tonight (at work now, and don't have the device with me).
Also, just FYI, I am in the US with T-mobile service. If I try to upgrade to the AT&T A.20.10 version, my phone won't work on Tmobile anymore, correct? Or will it?

I Updated his T-Mobile 6.24 to 4.21 so he can use his XDA here. :?

Ok, well, despite my best efforts and all of the advice I've been given, I am still unable to get past the 1% error. For some reason, my unit will just not flash, regardless of RSU or OS I am using. It might be because of messing with the settings in the bootloader, so beware of that if you are or will be in a similar situation
I would like to thank everyone for their help.
Looks like I get to "dance" with tech support at T-mobile. Wish me luck

I've got the same problem as you have had. I've got non working radio stack on my PDA and flashing stops at 1% (ver 4.21). Where can I find RSU ver 6.24? Please send it to me on my mail [email protected] or give me any link. Thanks in advance.

Go over to yorch.net: under "Upgrades", he has the latest O2, AT&T, and T-mobile radio stack updates. You will want T-mobile if you want the 6.24 stack. Good luck.

Can we upgrade/downgrade using serial (LTP1)?

I was running ROM 3.20.06 and Radio 4.21.00.
I read everything on here about upgrading to ROM 4.00.05 and figured that I was ready to upgrade. Many others experienced no problems when upgrading from 3.20.06 to 4.00.05.
The upgrade procedure was complete and I hard reset.
The XDA turned on and a white screen with "Test Only", "Not For Sale", A Microsoft Windows Powered logo and the Platform information appears and that is all that happens. In other words, it is ****ed and won't do anything.
Does anyone know whether ROMs can be installed via, LTP1 seeing as though the USB will not communicate? Will I get the same problem?
A reply would be nice.
Forgot to mention...
I forgot to mention that I will be connecting my USB cradle to a USB-2-LTP1 cord. If that helps anyone reply then sweet.
Get yourself an sd card reader writer and an sd card of 64 meg or more. Use the tools on the forum to program the rom to sd card, then you enter bootloader mode and your phone will burn the rom from there. As for the lpt port, no way that I know of.
Bootloader mode?
:roll:
Is it possible to change the XDA into bootloader mode if the XDA is not functional? (I cannot do anything, just a white screen is what I see)
Give it 15-20 minutes
I know that this sounds stupid, but don't mess with it for about 15-20 minutes. It seems that if the radio stack is screwed, the OS takes forever to boot. I have been doing OS installs for several months, both directly and via an SD card, so I was comfortable with the process. I had NOT ever done a radio stack upgrade as I had the latest (& only one) that AT&T had released. With the "official" rollout of WM2003 by AT&T, I decided that I liked my custom 2003 ROM that I had cooked a couple of months ago, but I did want to try the newer radio stack. Well, all hell broke loose. At first, I had a PPC that would not boot. So, I did a new flash of the OS via SD chip. It seemed that it too was locked (ie the initial splash screen with OS info at bottom and then it seemed to freeze). Then I read in another thread that someone had noticed it took about 15 minutes for the thing to reboot after a failed radio stack upgrade. And so after giving it time, sure enough, my PPC did finally boot.
The bad news is that I have NOT been able to get the radio stack reinstalled. I have followed all the tips and suggestions, but no luck. If you find that yours finally does boot, then goto start, settings,system info and see if there is info about the radio stack. If it is blank, then you have not radio stack and that is why the long boot cycle.
Radio stack
Ok, when I performed the upgrade, I believe it was only the ROM that upgraded. The radio version is the orignial XDA upgrade which was released to the public as a genuine radio (B) upgrade. I'll look into the SD boot load. Will it automatically install from the SD card? Anyone got any idea?

Have SX56 - upgrade to 2003 - now fried

Newbie here...
Got a SX56 (used) and it was working fine. Saw that there was an upgrade to 2003 and like the moron I am, I jumped in with both feet. Now the device will only go to the initial screen where it shows the rom/radio versions.
I downloaded the tool, and tried to restore from SD but it still doesn't work.
My bootloader is v5.15 it seems.
At this point, I just want the thing to work again in 2002 or 2003. If someone has some ideas or a ROM image to go back, please let me know
dbrady
Maybe you´ve got the same problem than an other guy here in this forum. He have big problems to install WM2003 on his device.
Since you´re getting message of ROM AND Radio version it looks quite good.
I would suggest that you get a new ROM maybe from my kitchen (http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org and install it on your device using an SD-Card and the XDATools.....
HTH
Stefan
Thanks. I tried earlier but I wasn't sure what one to choose. I have an English Version SX56 that was sold through AT&T. It shows Wallaby Bootloader 5.15 now. It shows the correct rom/radio info for Win2003 but won't boot.
What version should I try? I'd like to get 2003 if I can, but would be willing to go back to 2002 to get a function phone again.
Thanks for all the help
P.S. - I was using Mozilla and it never actually downloaded anything when I tried.
Dean
Downloaded a new ROM - thanks - but same problem. Now the unit shows new ROM version but still never goes any further than the boot screen.
Any other ideas?
Steps please...
How did you load your new rom? Please post the steps so that we can try and figure out what went wrong.

Problem unlocking Wallaby-Error message inside

1st off, let me say how great I think this forum is. I apologize in advance if this topic has been covered, but I've searched here and can't find it.
I was given a T-Mobile PW10B1 with the following device info...
ROM 4.01.16 ENG
ROM date 02/04/04
Radio 6.25.02
Protocol 324e4
I need to unlock it to work with Cingular. It currently has no SIM or SD card in it, although I've ordered a SIM card that I should have by Friday.
When I put XDAULOCK.exe on it to run, I get the "error getting unlock code" message. When I try to flash the ROM using XDA-DEVELOPERS-SER-V12.exe, here's what I get in a DOS window..."ErrorGetConnectionType An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Error getting connection type".
The pda WILL sync up, but can't copy these files over.
Is this enough info for anyone to offer suggestions? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Have you already checked if the device is really locked?
I would suggest that you wait for your sim-card and try it, before you reflash your device....

Stefan
Thanks
LS,
Great info-thanks! I'm not sure if it's truly locked or not. How can I tell for sure? Right now, I'm on an OLD TDMA phone/plan, so when I'm SURE I have it unlocked, I'm upgrading my plan to a GSM plan. So the danger there is, if I have to have Cingular try to activate my new pda/phone, I'll have to change plans first, and if it's not unlocked, I can't use my old TDMA phone!
I think I'll get as SD card and try the 1st suggestion, and try to leave the radio alone for now-what do you think?
D
You can borrow a SIM-Card of a friend of your. The process just took a few miuntes. Insert the SIM in the Wallaby, start the device, enter SIM Code and watch the display. If you get connected to the network all is fine. Otherwise, when you have to insert a SID-Code, the phone is locked.
For unlocking you have to follow the process described in the second link. First link is just for changing the ROM....

Wallaby radio stack upgrade problem solve successfully!!

Hi everybody
Yesterday i had a problem trying to upgrade my wallaby to radiostack 6.18 tu RSU 6.24.
When i was doing the upgrade with the rsu files and the upgrade was in 88% in the screen appears:
" Upgrade problem, please reset" (something like that :? )
When i did the reset i got the boot screen and in the corner only i get the ROM version. The radio stack dissapears and then im not able to have my wallaby works.
Then i get into the wallaby bootloader version 5.15 and i got the following message:
GSM-ERROR
I reset the device a lot of times and nothing. i think " god i lost mi phone"
and then reading posts and posts i solve the problem in this way:
1:- I cook a rom image in an sd card using Xtools and a card reader instaled in your pc.
2.- when you finish insert the sd card with the image, enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
3.- Bootloader should tell you something that OS is detected on your SD-Card
4.- Press Action Key to install the ROM
5.-After finishing do a hard reset
Now your ROM should be installed on your device.
6.- turn off your device, maybe you will have to press the power button several times.
7.- Remove your SIM card
8.- Turn on your device, wait about 15 minutes and you can see that the device goes out off that frezze screen and gets into the align screen setup.
9. When you get the TODAY screen connect your device in the cradle and make a new asociation for your device
10. get into the windows file with the explorer of activesync on your pc and copy the 4 radio stack files in the windows file of your deviceq and the .exe file in the \Windows\StartUp folder of your device.
11. Restart the device and the upgrade will begins automaticaly in the back ground
12. when it sucsesfully done, do a soft reset and you must have your radio stack upgrade done and your wallaby completly recovered.
13.- Insert your SIM card again and enjoy
I hope this guide will help you
Rememeber to copy the correct radio stack in your device, i used the RSU 6.24 because i have a PW10B1 wallaby. check your version in the label in the rear part off your device
[/b]
if this tip results succesfully to someone please let me know. thanks
Well done, not many people manage to repair corrupt/missing radio stack, thanks for the details also, it may help resurrect other dead Wallabys.

Thanks Stefan - I saw elsewhere what the password was, and noticed it was missing from the URL. I got the RSU file and have finally managed to get it on to the XDA, but still fails every time it restarts... the old 1% problem... Do you know if it is easier to update the radio stack from an SD card? The XDA is running the special edition ROM, which has at least given me back some control of the device.

Worth the risk?
After reading this ordeal, is it worth the risk to upgrade a working radio stack? Does the telephone work substantially better after the upgrade?
Try other RSU's

Hi, have you tried using other RSU versions? I had the same problem too (1% fail) using 4.16. After giving up on the 4.16, I tried RSU 4.21 (exe). One shot and I was able to re-flash my RSU. What I did differently was to remove the AC power while doing the RSU upgrade (the exe file prompted me). Hope you get your wallaby up and running again.
I try alot of times but it stop at 1% - full batery got the same result.
help.
Re: Try other RSU's
Thank you for your help. I have tried many vensions of RSU, such as 4.16, 4.21, 6.24, 6.25, etc. But all of them showed 1% mistake.

What I did differently was to remove the AC power while doing the RSU upgrade (the exe file prompted me). Hope you get your wallaby up and running again.

Upgrading Radio Stack to Ver 6.25.02

From my previous thread (Need help unlocking a HTC Wallaby (Rom 4.01.16)) you folks know that with help from the forum at large and Stefan in particular I have successfully unlocked my XDA.
My phone signal is rather weak.
1. Will upgrading to Radio Stack to Ver 6.25.02 help solve this issue ?
2. My current ROM is 3.17.03 ENG and current Radio is 6.24.00. If the answer to above point is yes. Then what steps are involved in upgrading the radio stack?? Do I have to change the ROM or can I just do it without changing the ROM??
Thanks in advance.
Don´t know if upgrading the radio stack will help getting a better signal.
You can try it. Update process can be done without flashing a new ROM....
Process iwould follow:
1. Remove SIM-Card
2. Hard Reset to get a clean device
3. Reconenct your device via active sync
4. Download Radio Stack e.g. ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wallaby/Radio_Stack/RSU_V6.25.02_PPC.zip
5. Extract the files to a folder on your device
6. run the exe file
7. Pray all is working fine ....
PS: There are too possibilities fro Upgrading:
1. Using the files that are designed for upgrading directly on the device, llike the above
2. Files that do this above activesync. If you got such a file skip step 5

If you update your Radio Stack, your device would end as a paper weight.
Radio Stack 6.xx are for PW10B phones with 900/1900MHz network connection and the 4.xx are for PW10A with 900/1800 MHz networks....
Generally radio stack could be upgraded without touching the ROM and the device would stay unlocked/locked as it was before.....
All several written here in the forum....
