Radio Stack upgrade failed in Australia

I'm aware that this is not realy new subject but reading the forum for last two days did not unswered all my questions and Im a newbie so please dont shoot.
I'm assuming that the my xda site before providing the current upgrade to the OS and radio stack they had tested all these and it should be safe to upgrade as with other softeware. Well I was wrong.
The Program A upgrade went OK but when I almost completed loading Program B I got the screen as I would switiched the phone ON and I was asked for my password. I entered my old passward which was not reconginsed two times after which the device rebooted shownig only top bar and keyboard on the bottom right hand corner. I went ot Telstra to check if this is due to my SIM card got freyed but they changed my SIM card to a new only because they have more up to date with lower Voltage requirement and this did not change a thing.
I've tryed Walloby bootloader but after while it displays "GSM ERROR".
I've tryed the power buuton+directional button+ soft reset which gets me to the 4 options
CE ROM TO SD
BOOT TO SD
CE+BOOT TO SD
GSM ROM TO SD
But when I select any of these using the directional button I get that the Card key has failed (I have 64MB MMC card that I bought some time ago and I have or had quite a lot of staff on it). I wander if all this is still t=here as my card reader/writer is asking to insert the card which is already there. I would not mind to get to my old software which had problems but was working or anything to get XDA back on line.
Please help I can not work without my XDA.

New Radio Stack and Telstra + Bootloader
I am running the latest O2 radio stack 4.21 on telstra fine. I used the O2 installation file off their site letting it do the Radio Stack and the O/S. Then I later upgraded the O/S using the SD method, and the Siemens SX56 AT&T branded WM2003 rom image.
With regards to getting yours back up and running - have you tried the "bootloaderfix.bat" file in XDAtools? (make sure you are conencted via activesync when you run it - and dont panic if you see an error message)
Also - you can use XDAtools to copy the Radio Stack image or new ROM image directly to your MMC card. Once bootloaderfix.bat has fixed yor boot loader to 5.15 ust whack in the MMC card with the image - run the bootloader and it will detect the new Image and ask you if you want to install (calls it download) it off the card.
Hope that helps. I spent about 6 hours researching all the above - hope to save some others the time

New Radio Stack and Telstra + Bootloader
Thanks Janos,
I will try the SD method but I have a problem with your suggestion as my Actvesync presently is not recognising XDA. I hope that XDAtools will help.
Would you suggest to use the original or XDAtools -Jeff.exe?
Regards

i can't radio rom in ur sd but u can copy repair.zip to sd ........... no way to upgrade radio via sd u must us pc monitor ans Rs232 ......... what's hell that mean ?......... use repair.zip .........guy

Hi all,
From my experience, and reading through this forum through long time, when you have "GSM Error" on the bootloader screen, don't try to go any further unless you are expert in soldering and you have a Jtag ship interface. The RSU part controls the ROM and the charging circuet, so it's better to get it repaired by a qualified person.

Probs flashing any rom via ntrw with my NEW mdacompact

:evil:
Hi everyone,
am deperately needing your advice!!!
Just yesterday I rechieved an exchange mdac from tmobile showing serial version v1.02 when put in bootloader mode(previously v1.01).
When trying to flash whatever rom once transferred via ntrw to my sd card, my mdac does simply nothing but stay in bootloader showing serial v1.02. No flashing like in my old one starts.
On removing the sd card it comes out freshly formatted, before it definately was formatted with raw as usual once working with ntrw.
Result : I can not upgrade my system to mksbigstorage or any other rom like i could with my" old one". (same sd card!!!)
Tried downgrading to an older rom version via original upgrade routine and from there flashing via sd card: same problem!, tried other sd card: no solution either!
Any ideas, solutions, people with the same problems?
:?:
Appreciate your help
Thanx

romflashing
Seems to have nothing to do with flashing routine.
Card simply gets formatted once inserted.
Any way to stop this?

Hi! I have had many problems after flashing and re-flashing my rom.
Try boot loader mode and USB then execute (from your PC)MaupgradeUT_noid with a Shipped_rom on XDA ftp. It may work.
Have a look at this link: http://www.mtekk.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?p=32876

SPV_M500, ROM 1.12.02 FRE

Corrupt SD card

There is problem of corrupt SD card with Artemis.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
I have same problem with P4350 (Herald) micro SD Card SanDisk 2 Gb.
I bye it 2 weeks ago and yesterday all files at SD card missing. I recovered some files by R-Studio software.
No TomTom software, but installed Resco Explorer.

i have the exact same problem with my sandisk 2gb card on the p4350 (the same card i use in my hermes where it works perfectly for about 4-5 months). it always happens when i save data to the card with a softreset following (f.e. backup). the card isn't recognized anymore or has folders with strange characters on the sdcard). then i remove the card, do a SR and put the card back in afterwards. after that everything is fine again.
very strange.

I plan to send letter to HTC suppurt.

lucky for me i spotted this then, i was about to order a 2gb card but i'll think i'll go with the 1gb instead.
incidently is anybody working with a 2gb card with no problems?

it's not a problem of the sd card but of the p4350. the card works perfectly in the hermes for months.
so why would a 1GB sd card work perfectly and a 2gb not when the sd card itself is definetly not the problem?

Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
says, that no problem with 512 Mb cards only.

Hi,
this soed nor only occur with 2GB Cards. I Own the Herald 4 Days now, and after 2 days the Storage Card ist corrupt... It is an 1GB Micro SD

Hi,
The same problem here with my SanDisk 1GB
What's wrong with this phone ?
These are my numbers:
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001

I got a reply from HTC Support:
Hello Milen,
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
We have seen this problem before on the HTC P3300. Currently we have escalated this issue to our R&D team in Taiwan, and they are investigating.
We are unsure as to the time frame for resolution of this issue, as our team still need to recreate the problem, establish cause, and create fix.
Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Your local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/cs_by_phone.html
Yours sincerely

First the card, now the phone...
Like many others I have experienced an occasional problem with corruption on a 2Gb MicroSD in my XDA Orbit. First time I fixed it with a soft-reset.
I have had the issue again yesterday and re-formatted my card to start again. The problem started yesterday when I noticed that the names of Storage Card folders were corrupted (lots of null characters). When I connected to PC and browsed I saw 2 folders named 'Storage Card' visible. Although the card now looked almost completely empty to Windows, the PPC Memory/StorageCard applet still reported 700+ MB storage in use.
After reformatting and loading up my TomTom data from XP. I put the card back into the phone, but it appeared that the phone was still remembering yesterday's view of the card, mixed up with todays! The bit from yesterday was the storage card folders used by poutlook for attachments.
I decided I must hard reset, and then it should be OK right? Since the reset I have been unable to complete the boot sequence on the phone - it just hangs after showing the version numbers on the startup screen for O2.
Seems like a warranty job, but since I bought it on ebay from a guy who sells lots of them, that may not be easy!
Any ideas how to kick it into life? I've tried both with/without SIM/SD/power cord/etc.

seems to be the same problem as on the Artemis ((((((

Ok, Trinity (HTC P3600) got it too ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291988 )
Seems to be an OS bug, HTC promised an update !!!

Dear HTC support,
Do you officially plan to publish a firmware update for Herald, Trinity
and Artemis because of their bug to corrupt the flash memory card
after normally read-write access? Or I and many other people like me
have to return their phones to you? A time period will be a good answer!
Here is my device information:
HTC P4350 - Herald
ROM version: 1.8.405.1 WWE
ROM date: 11/03/06

All best,

Dear Milen,
At the moment we do not have an exact date for when updates
will be released. We are expecting this to be in Q1 2007.
Also as yet we cannot confirm the location for any downloads.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.
Thank you for your enquiry... blah blah

That damn thing screwed up my data too!
I wrote to HTC support. Wondering, are they gonna answer or what?
"Corrupt data on MicroSD card" Dear support, Yesterday I'd discovered another wonderful feature of P4350. All the data on my MicroSD card was destroyed! No folders or files, just a junk file named "squareСЭSquareEx" 0 bytes in size. After running scandisk using SD Card reader I've had all my files unreadable in FOUND.000 folder. Information on device: ROM: 1.8.411.3 RUS Rom Date: 11/03/06 GSM: 02.71.90 ExtRom: 1.8.411.103 MicroSD Card info: Kingston 1Gb SDC/1GB 0645G88588U SD-C01G Japan The device was being used just as usual and worked fine during the whole week. The only difference was that I've been using WiFi extensively and it was the first time when the battery power was lower than 35%. What are you going to do about it and who is gonna pay me for such an incredible inconvenience?

Hello people! I might just have the solution to HTC memory card problem, but im not shure about it, i dont own Artemis or Herald so i cant check it out.
Today morning i had a great idea:
I own a Qtek s110, for today plugins i use SPB Pocket Plus 3 and it has 1 thing that differs form using it on any other device - the memory card status! It is hidden on Qtek. When you try to enable it it tells you that it may be the cause of data loss and instability of system. As you should know Qtek is built by HTC.
My idea is try to disable any memory card status idicator and see if that cures the problem, because i think this trouble has been on long before HTC brand started building their own devices! Good luck!

After i installed the program tweaks2k2.net on my P4350 i experienced the same problem with my a-data 1Gb microsd. In my case removing this program also removed the problem with the corrupt storagecard.
Another annoying problem is that my ringtone is constantly changed to windows default when i hit the ok-button....

SD card "renewal"
Like many of you I have sometimes (but relatively frequently) corrupted my SD. I have found out that the corruption is very often in the cache only. If i put SD card out and put it in back again the card content is correct and without corruption.

i've heard that you should format your SD-card to FAT-16... it was written somewhere on tweakers.net. Maybe this is an option..? I own a 2gb micro sd and i never experienced any problems.. let me know if this is usefull or even possible

I've heard that you should format your SD-card as FAT-16.. This whas said somewhere on tweakers.net. I'll search for this topic. I use A 2GB micro SD card with my p4350, i did not encounter any probs.. Let me know if this was helpfull

Possible solution?
I had a similar problem. My SD card wasn't recognized anymore after a while, sometimes after a backup. Now I fixed it. I discovered that I shouldn't move the programlinks in the "start menu" manually. Some programs, which I still don't know which one exactly, should stay in the root. These are the programs installed by default. When I putted the program back to the root of "start menu" folder, the storage card was recognized again.

Problem with MMC card

Hi.
I have problem with my universal and mmc cards ( i didn't try SD card yet).

Please help

Hi,
i had the some Problem after upgrading my MDA Pro to AKU 3.3 of T-Mobile.
In my case after some time browsing my MMC or SD-Card was boring slow.
After removing it and pluging it in again I was able to use ist a few minutes.
In my Case only a Downgrade to AKU 2 solved the Problem.
But now my Wifi Connection does not work.

indeed, it can by cause of this problem. i also have TMobile firmware with AKU3.3
but maybe, if in other 'brandings' than TMobile this problem isn't exist then
maybe fault is on customization files on extended rom??
------
than folowing this posibility I unhided extended rom
renamed autorun.exe , RESET... and i will test it...
results soon

Hi,
after installing the normal T-Mobile ROM with all the Brandings i installed it and made the Soft-Reset before the brandings had been installed.
But unfortunately the problem was the same. So I dont think that it is a problem because of the Brandings.

Yes, You have right. It isn't because brandings...
wishmaster270: are You use MMC or SD card? and what type/model/manufacturer?

Hi,
i am using two Cards. One MMC with 1GB from mogu and one MMCplus Turbo Card with 2GB from AData.

similar problem as well
Just upgraded to latest Tmo ROM and have a similar problem my MMC card takes about 5-6 seconds to read when viewing it in file explorer and sometimes I can't even view it in Windows Media when trying to play music. But if eject and reinsert it will show all files.

In my case it takes between 20 and 60 seconds.
But anyway it seems to be a Problem with the T-Mobile ROM.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to write a few mails to T-Mobile Support.

So, i writing email to T-Mobile support...
and waiting...
anyway what is the best downgrade ROM with working SD/MMC??

don't want to downgrade
If the SDHC patch works on WM5, would rather use it and have more storage then downgrade

Hi,
I tried the SHDC and the Advanced Storage Card Handlig.
Unfortunately both did not work.
Downgrade to AKU2 worked fine for me. But its slower and I am not able to connect to my access point.

Well... T-mobile answered for my email...
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile

it looks like that the memory card is not responding properly.
Please try the following to ensure that miniSD memory card is detected
by the T-Mobile MDA:
1. Tap the power button to turn off the screen.
2. Remove the miniSD card.
3. Verify that the card is labeled 'miniSD'.
4. Carefully re-insert the miniSD all the way back into the MDA.
5. Verify that the screen wakes up when you insert the miniSD memory
card.
o NOTE: If it does not wake up, the miniSD card may be defective.
If the memory card is not responding, you need to either format the
memory card or try different memory card in your phone. If the problem
persists, please write or call us back with your observations and we
will be happy to help you further. [...]

Hi,
are you using a T-Mobile MDA Pro? Or the original QTek?
Can you tell me the email adress you wrote to? I am not a T-Mobile user, too. But my MDA is from T-Mobile.
But i am out of guarantee.

I using T-Mobile MDA Pro with 'nice' big T-Mobile logo on board ;-)
Under battery on sticker i have: 'PU10' and 'HTC Innovation'.

Is possible to update this hardware with ROM of other (for example O2) branding????
i have one of them: universal_rom(o2_2.5wwe_aku3.2_b12).rar

Ok. Problem is solved.
I'm using Helmi_UNI_AKU3.5_v1.3.1 ROM from 2 days and is working very good

Hi,
yesterday i tried the aku 3.3 again because i had a sd card to test width.
It only seems to be Problem with MMC cards. Perhaps i would buy me a 2GB SD Card for about 15€.

SD Card + Flashing help

Hey there,
A mate has a HTC Trinity (actually a Dopod 810) running WM5, and the miniSD reader seems to be faulty. He only got it a few days ago.
It was working fine when he got the card (2gb), but recently it was being charged from USB, and when a USB flash drive was plugged in and accessed(on these temperamental computers), the computer automatically rebooted, my diagnosis being that they are old and crappy (windows error reporting said something about antivirus software causing it). Activesync wasnt installed, and the found new hardware wizard was cancelled.
This is the only time where i think it couldve somehow been damaged, but i dont get how when the SD card wasnt being accessed at the time (it was in 'standby'), how it affected it and nothing else.
Anyway, he's tried different SD Cards, Soft and Hard reset with it in and out. When the card is inserted it shows in System > About and the backlight lights up, but according to the 'storage card' section there is no card inserted.
Any ideas at all? Would flashing it to 6.1 help? Can anyone suggest the latest and greatest ROM for the Dopod 810? There are heaps of them, but he wants one that looks good but won't be bogged down heaps so theres no RAM/ROM for anything else. Is there a guide for noobs on how to flash to a ROM? Seems theres something to do with SPL somewhere?
