T-mobile radio upgrade

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?

Which ppc2003 ROM for AT&T Southern California

I recently purchased an Unlocked T-mobile phone. My AT&T sim seems to work fine but I WANT voice command and the added speed.
on Yorch, I notice there are 3 choices
4.00.05 seems like a generic
4.00,10 A Tmobile release
4.00.16 Anothe Tmobile
I have heard that T-mobile builds have more truoble on AT&T network. should I go with .05? or will one of the T-mobiles work OK.
If I go with a T-mobile, should I still use the AT&T radio Stack?
Thanks,
Matt

ATT has the most stable radio stack so don't touch it. You can try each ROM if you like. Make sure you create a backup of your current ROM so you can go back just in case. Since those are all USA ROMS you can pick whichever one you one, your location in the USA has no effect. Personally, I like the generic ROM for it allows ATT to display the "G" which signifies internet capability. Plus, you have more room to cram in more apps. The Tmob ROMS are full of crap you won't use. Have fun.

Yea go with 4.00.05 I was going to suggest 4.00.11 but I see Jeff's ROM Kitchen is still offline. Also I agree valheru on keeping the AT&T RS.

Thanks for the feedback.
I think I'm running a T-Mobile Radio Stack. 6.18.00
Is this AT&T? or T-Mobile?

Uh, if you have the Tmobile radio stack then it is a Tmobile radio stack. Reboot your device and tell us what it says.

From the device settings it says : 6.18.00

Yeap thats a T-Mobile radio stack!
Also confirming you got that info. from going to Start, Settings, System, Device Information?

right, device information....
I tried to unzip the latest AT&T radio stack from Yorch.net, but it had a password. Any help there?

Send me a PM with a valid email address and I'll forward you a copy of the AT&T RS.

Unlocking an MDA with the new T-Mobile 2003 rom installed

Hi,
I've managed to upgrade my MDA I with the new T-Mobile 2003 ROM Version: 4.01.16 ENG, Radio Version: 6.25.02
Any idea how I now unlock the thing so that I don't need to use a T-Mobile SIM?
I know I could install a different version of 2003, but I actually do want to use the T-Mobile one.
Cheers
Paul.
UPDATE: I now think that my problem is not that I have a sim lock, as it is not telling me that my O2 sim is not supported in this T-Mobile device. I think this may be an issue with the radio version. I have tried going back to my old 2002 install and also the XDA developers special. But no matter which one I install I always have the new radio version of 6.25. Does any one know how to "downgrade" my radio to an older one?

How to go from a At&T SX56 to t-mobile with WM2003 ?

Hi
I just bought a Siemens SX56 which locked to AT&T wireless. I want to use this on T-mobile network with Windows Mobile 2003.
I read through several threads trying to figure what is the best way to get to my final state.
I see people discussing about two things "Radio Stack" and ROM.
I could not figure out if the radio stack is provider specific. Did not know if i can just upgrade both with the AT&T ROM.
Here is my current plan. Please help me in making sure that i am not going to end up with a brick.
1. Unlock the devicewith XDA2Unlock
2. Upgrade the device to WM2003 with the Siemens AT&T executable from siemens web site.
3. Put my T-Mobile sim card and use it on t-mobile network.
Would this work ?. What is the best way to get best reception on this PDA with t-mobile ?.
thanks

1. Your device is XDA I ... so the right tool is XDAunlock here www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ and it will work only if you still have the PPC 2002 ROM on yoru device, other wise you will have to flash your device with the special edition ROM SER1.2 from the forum here as well.
2. The excutable contains both RSU and ROM. If your phone works fine don't touch the RSU. Get a cooked WM2003 ROM from the kitchen here and flash your device ROM only.
3. Try and let's know
Good luck

I'm a bit of a newbie myself, however I've been playing with both a TMobile and an AT&T PPCPE for the last few weeks.
Why are you putting the AT&T ROM on the phone - surely it would be best to put on the TMobile version so that it would have all the internet settings, etc.
-=Nick=-

Thanks for the reply.
I read somewhere that if my radio version if A33, i will not be able to use the XDAUnlock utility. Is that true. If that is true will i be able to unlock using any other process ?
I will be getting PPCPE this week. I am excited to get it up and running with my existing T-mobile SIM.
thanks

Unlock and update to 2003

I just got a tmobile sx 56 off ebay. It's locked! Even though they said it wasn't. I am new to all this so my question is if I unlock with xda special rom and then cook my own 2003 rom on http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
will my phone remain unlocked. I need to use it on cingular network. Do you think this will be an issue. its gsm and all that jazz.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

it'll stay locked
and this is a gsm phone so it'll work with any gsm provider. im using the AT&T phone on the t-mobile network

got the code from tmobile..so now it is unlocked. Now I'm looking to update to 2003. But alas I am a mac faithful. Is there anyway for me to do this. I move files back and forth using pocketmac?
