After having tried o2 4.21 and T-Mobile 3.23 on my xda without satisfying success I am asking what is the most advanced Radio Stack at the moment (to work with PPC2003).
Since the the Qtek came on the market very lately I suppose that their Radio Stack is the most developed. Am I right ?
If yes, where can I download it ?
I only found the ASIA/PACIFIC RSU Version here in the forum and I heard that you need an Asian IMEI for this.
Upgrading my xda to PPC2003 (Yorch's) solved most of my problems but not all (losing signal from time to time).

Hi there,
Anyone tried just upgrading the radio stack?
My xda already has the latest UK rom version 3.14.13 (it was bought in March) and its Radio version is 4.08, so hence my question...
Can anyone offer any advice? - as it appears some people have had problems just upgrading the radio stack.
Common sense would dictate that this should work, but hey, we're talking Microsoft products! :lol:
just done it ok... the process goes smoothly, and doesnt seem to need a "cold" reset.
Hi derekcfoley
I've done it from 4.08 to 4.14 to 4.16. No problem.
I do not see much diffrence though.
I used always the rsu from the web.
:roll:
I have just ugraded my Qtek ROM to vers. 4.00.01 (pocketPC2003) and the RSU4.21.
BUT since then I cannot see my mobile carrier anymore Orange CH (switzerland), but all the others...
Could that come from the new soft not supporting dualbandGSM 1800 ?? or naything else.
Thanks for you help !!!!
PS CAN I DOWNGRADE MY ROM TO 3.17 FROM THE O2 web site??
i believe that the current 4.00.01 is with the US radiostack
leaving your phone at 900/1900 and not 900/1800 which is the EU std
European XDA/MDA with Radio Update
Same here in Germany. First I upgraded my TMO (Germany) MDA to ROM 4.00.10 without the radio upgrade. It worked (and still works ) very well with the old (by only supported :? ) radio V3.23.00 protocol 32S54. The only thing I noticed is: the carrier (T-Mobile Germany) is not displayed (in the Today screen) and the connection bar graph is changing very often from "good" to "worse". :shock:
After this success I upgraded also the radio unit, but I better have not done that! No (neither 900 or 1800) carrier is detected by the phone anymore I tried a lot in the bootloader but nothing helped me
So I downgraded the radio to 3.23.00 with the RSU utility which is downloadable from TMO Germany. And everything is okay again

Radio Stack 3.17 FR
Seems the same problem... but luky you are, as I don't have the older RSU available...
Does anybody know where I could find the RSU 3.16 or 3.17 FR ??
Thanks in advance,
I don't know if it works but why aren't you flashing the RSU with the one from the english o2.co.uk site ore the german one? Isn't there a support page for your french xda? (From witch provider was the xda sold? AFAIK orange has its own new SPV)
The English rsu seems to be ver 4.21 and is located here http://www.o2.co.uk/personal/xda/docs/Radio_Stack_Upgrade_v421.zip
The German RSU is also V4.21 but I don't have a direct link. Just click http://www.o2online.de/o2/business/datenloesungen/xda/downloads/index.html and go ahead.
The RUU seems to have the version 3.17 (UK) or 3.19 (Germany)
Look here http://xda-developers.com/rom/ RSU-> the "Phone BIOS" and RUU->"The PDA sw" So I think the RSU is not written in a specific language but only for a special region (US and Europe). But the RUU is.
HTH, Chris
problem solved
I actually could solve the problem by going in the bootloader and switch to DualBand GSM 900/1800. BUT then you CANNOT go in the BAND menu or it automatically switch you back into 900 ...

hello all,
2days i upgraded to o2 radio stack 4.21 after a 2003 upgrade and noticed signal problems i thought the radio upgrade would fix the problem but it didnt ,
from all my readings " you cant downgrade from 4.21 " but i thought i would give it a try i ran the 3.23.1 setup and it downgraded with success... i also downloaded and installed which i belive is the latest radio upgrade for the Qtek1010 RSU 3.25.0 and its more reliable then ever.
p.s. 3.25.0 can be downloaded from http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/
Thats not a downgrade then if the Qtek 3.23.1 RS is newer, right!
abinalmalik;
where do you use your qtek (location)? does the rs3.25 work in mideast?
i use it in Oman as well as UAE it works superbly
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

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.
I have an O2 XDA with radio version 4.08 installed (from new). Occasionally the handsfree feature does not work (by pressing the green telephone button). Would the official Radio Stack upgrade to vers. 4.21 solve this? Is it easy/safe to do this upgrade (without ugrading the ROM)as suggested on the O2 XDA web site?
I dont think there is any link between the handsfree and the radio stack, my advice is to leave it alone if you are not experiencing any signal problems.
Wavey86,
I would not do it. There are so many people having problems with upgrading RSU including mine.

Request
I upgraded my RSU to O2 4.21 and experience very bad phone behavior: keeps losing the signal, and needs to restart all the time to get it back.
Could I ask you to dump you 4.08 RSU ROM and send it to me please?
Thanks in advance
