I think the latest radio stack from O2, the 4.21 breaks GPRS for T-Mobile users (As it uses class 8 connection maybe (?).
The one that my XDA came with was 4.01... I don't suppose anyone has a link to this version? Or even links to other versions LOWER than 4.21 that I can try?
I have already managed to downgrade it to 3.23.00 so I can 'upgrade' to a newer version that works.
Thanks.
Anyone have an ideas, or is anyone here on T-Mobile UK? If so what Radio stack version are you using?
I guess I just really need to know if my GPRS is dead and will never work again (But calls are fine, so can this be true?).
Thanks.

Hi
What is the latest radio upgrade for t-mobile and where can i get it.
My device info. :
Rom ver. : 3.14.40 ENG
Rom date: 11/26/02
Radio ver.:6.18
Protocol ver. :324e4
Thanks :shock:
u have the latest official tmo upgrade
What about unofficial one but 100% working without problems?
u can upgrade it to ATT radio stack if u want. however people had problems reverting back to TMO radio stack. u can upgrade the OS part to 2003 if u want and leave the radio stack as is.
is anybody have the original radio stack for TMO as a file? I am thinking of reverting from At&T stack.

As far as I know once you have gone ATT you can't come back....
OR, wait until T-Mobile releases their own upgrade
any word if they will release an upgrade and if so will it contain the radio stack. I found the At&t stack kind of buggy. Maybe it's just where I am but the GPRS will droput for no reason and then I loose voice also and it will not come back until I do a soft reset.

According to Lazarus ( an ATT Network Guru) the ATT radio stack has been tweaked and optimized for ATT's network, so that would explain why others have experienced trouble....
Oh shoot, I wish I have read this post before I upgrade to the ATT radio stack. Couldn't we simply download the latest ROM from T-Mobile and revert back to the T-mobile radio stack and rom?
I tried it just crashes right after it starts. It basically says that it can't upgrade because the radio stack you have is already higher. Guess we got to wait for TMo to release something higher. I am at A.20.10 and 4.00.01Eng for os.
Try running the "Adaptrom" program in your T-mobile application upgrade folder.

it has nothing to do with adaptrom. radio stack kicks in after u flash back the OS ROM
I'd keep the ATT stack
If you use the T-mobile (US) radio stack with windows mobile 2003, you don't get always on GPRS, so I'd stick with the ATT stack for now (and I have!).

ATT radio works fine for me too. It is more that the network drops you or you lose data connection between cells, or the network has a load balance that give placement to voice users over data when bandwidth is needed. Not so much that your radio stack does it.
On the other hand just incase anyone wants to prove my theory wrong :wink: has anyone in the US upgraded their radio stack to O2 4.21 and experienced a better performance than AT&T's radio stack :?: This means you probably already had to manually switch the default band 8) first?
Let me know I love to be wrong :shock: ......I'm only that much smarter than I was yesterday :roll: :lol:
I think 4.21 would only work in Europe. You'll probably get no signal after you upgrade from At&t stack. I am going to stick with At&t i think I just got crappy coverage in the area that's all.
@amarandei
4.21 works great here in austria with t-mobile. i have gprs always on (on now since i rebooted 3 days ago).
and if it needs to be connected that works WAYS faster that before (with 2002 and 3.16)
converning speed i can't say anything positive nor negative. it just works. sometimes slower sometimes faster.

TMO radio stack installation
I have TMO radio version 6.02
I downloaded the latest update from TMO (US) which claimed it would upgrade the radio but it did not appear to update the radio stack. Could that be becaues I am running the developers rom and it thinks I have a more recent version? If so how can I update the radio stack without having to go back to the old rom first?
:?
I want to upgrade the radio stack on my US T-Mobile PPC which is currently using the 6.18 stack, but I haven't heard much conversation regarding if it's possible to go backwards and I don't want to permanently mess up my U.S. T-Mobile XDA in case I ever need some warranty repair or the 6.24 stack gets messed, etc.
Has anyone tried this successfully?
Unless you need the alway-on GPRS I'd keep 6.18 stack.
Because downgrading the radio stack is a pain and is next to impossible, but it can be done. I did it once for a friend but it took me nearly 6 hours.
Thanks
Thanks Qman- I think I'll just leave it well enough alone.
Where can I find Radia stack?
My T-MOBILE is not working, I'm receiving GSM ERROR. Where can I find Radio Stack
Can you recall what radio stack version you were running before you stated getting the GSM error? If not where are you located and what network are you using, that info. would help in locating the proper radio stack.

Hi,
I recently upgraded my XDA1 to WM2003, trying numerous ROM versions, and they all worked fine.
However I was unwise to run an upgrade of the Radio Stack installing the latest O2 release 4.21 and ever since my phone keeps losing the signal and needs to be restarted everytime to get it back. Basically I am unable to use the phone anymore.
Of course, I did not bother to make a backup of my old Radio Stack ROM, so I am unable to undo the "upgrade".
Is there anyone who is having a similar problem or can provide me with his Radio Stack version if different from 4.21? I am using the 900/1800 model, so AT&T and T-Mobile ROMs do not really help.
Thanks
Where can I find the radio stack upgrade 6.25 and how would I install it?
Thanks in advance!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10352&highlight=6+25
radiostack should only be installed if you have issues since if it fail then many people end up with devices which need service to get their gsm part working again
I have poor signal strength after I upgraded the ROM version, and I heard this would help.
Thanks!
Will this radio update work on AT&T Wireless USA???
AT&T Wireless (Cingular) and T-Mobile are all on the same network here in the US so would this radio update help me too????
I upgraded to the Siemens 2003 OS and it really messed up my Phone signal. Downgraded to the XDA OS and it works a little better only because the "Trick" to getting it to work on 1900 is to reboot the device several times, a real PAIN.
Please...let a dude know what the deal is...
Thanks a mill...
Hi!
Got a question regarding the Radio Stacks. I am using an XDAI from O2 Germany, which has the latest Radio Stack released by O2 themselves, which is 4.21. During more or less aimless surfing sessions in the undocumented backwaters of the Internet (dyndns sites :roll I found Radio Stack updates with non-linear version numbering which are not ActiveSync updates but install directly from the device.
- What is the difference (except the installation mechanism)? Are those safe to use or am I bound to screw up my phone using those?
- Why is the version numbering different? After my 4.21 the site lists A20.10, 6.24.20 and 6.25.24 as available. Which one is the most recent for my PW10A1? The 6.25.24? Or can/should I use the A20.10?
The reason I am considering the upgrade at all is that I get weird "clicks" and connections losses during conersation, especially after the first few minutes of conversation. To me and the other side it sounds as if I was temporarily driving through a tunnel or something, the connections keeps up but no speech is transmitted. And all that while the signal meter gives me 70-80%.
Or could it be a problem that I am using my O2 XDA with a T-Mobile prepaid card? I always considered GSM to be pretty generic. GPRS etc. is not in use on the device.
Any input? If this questions has been asked before, please be so kind and point me to the corresponding thread, I couldn't locate it with the search function.
The 6.xx Radio Versions are for PW10B models (900/1900 MHZ networks)
The 4.xx Radio Versions are for PW10A models (900/1800 MHZ networks)
The A.xx Radio Versions could be for for any of them.....
Flashing the wron version could end your device as a paperweight.....
Stefan

what i should do throwe the **** or what

Are you sure you have a PW10A model? Check the rear sticker of this device. Normally ends flashing the wrong Radio stack in GSM Error.
In the wiki is a howto about this....
Stefan
hi, Stefan
Yes i am sure that the model name is PW10A1, and could you please help me about it
