A method to fix corrupted GSM ROM xda.

Hello here is a way that i have just used to fix my 900/1800 (O2) xda.
You first need a SD Card reader/writer and an SD card.
Download RSU_ENG.exe from here. -- SORRY URL NOT WORKING --
Run the .exe and unpack PROGRAMME B to a location.
Copy the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file onto your SD card and then onto your XDA. Run the cab file and the program will install and then reset your XDA and then the upgrade process will begin.
I recommend taking out any SIM cards before upgrading cause it may stall it, but even if it does just soft reset and try again.
Hope this helps.

What rom version is there on the dutch O2 side?
You are mentioning a download of a rom file from the dutch o2 site.
O2 Netherlands didn't give any updates for a long time.
Is this a recent ROM?
Thanks
Conrad

Yes is appears to be quite recent.
The versons are 3.15.15 for the PDA and 4.16 for the GSM Rom.
The directory the files are in is only a few days old by the looks.

Thanks
Eladsalad thanks for your work and info

Update disappeared?!
It looks like O2 Netherlands has removed the update from it's server.
Anybody knows where to get it?
FvH

-edit-

ok ive started up an ftp server for probably the next 24-48 hrs so people can download rsu_eng.exe to repair their gsm roms.

FTP IS GONE.

Andruf

Yes sure you can write to me. Keep in mind though that i am not part of xda-developers, they are the real experts.
Yes, those are both the correct software versions.

thx, downloaded it seconds after you put it up again

btw it's 3.14.15, not 3.15.15

I beg you a pardon,
it IS 3.15.15

I've tried to upgrade the ROM and something gone wrong.
Now I have a XDA with a CE version but no Radio or protocol.
Can anybody tell what to do?
When I reboot the XDA I get one first screen (with the O2 logo) with only one version nr. 3.16.13. After one minute, above the 3.16.13 I get a R and above a G without any numbers. after that I get a blank screen whit a blue bar on top.
Please help me

unlocking

G`day everyone,
I have just brought a new SX56 siemens from the US. I am in Aus and would like to use my existing provider. My problem is the SID is locked and I would love to get some help here.
I have tried XDAunlock.exe and received an error (error getting unlocked code). Any help would be great.
Rom Version : A.20.17 ENG
Rom Date : 05/15/03
Radio Version : A.20.10
Protocol Ver : 324e4
Model Number: PW10B1

I think you should be able to install developers special edition rom, this will unlock it automatically. Before doing so, back up your existing rom using sd card method, then you can go back to where you started but with an unlocked machine.

Thank you for replying so quick mate.
But using the developers special edition rom is something im afraid to get into if something goes wrong.
Also im not familar with compiling etc.
Then again I havent given special edition rom a chance.
Just not confident playing around with the rom.
Ps. Reading about XDAunlock.exe seems alot easier to manage and is my rom version to new to run with XDAunlock.exe?
thanks again cruisin-thru.

The XDA Manipulator will unlock a phone, if you can have a serial cable (Easily purchased - approx. $10).

Yes I know that the XDA Manipulator will unlock the phone but i read that, this can be of high risk. Also i havent read that anyone has the same rom version and used XDA Manipuilator.

You dont need to know a thing about compiling, just download the exe file, after doing sd backup. Run it on your pc and it will do its thing.

Ok again thank you. I will have to order the serial cable online, so maybe in a couple of days i can try.

Always on line for xda 1??

Any body knows for xda 1, you can keep checking new mail arrival through GPRS?
I heard people using xda 2 can do that. But is there any chance xda 1 can do the same thing?
Actually, when u do the setting for POP account, it ask u to set how many minutes to check for new messages. But it never work because the GPRS will close automatically.
Thanks very much. :?

Sure it can be done!
Take a look at:
http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgrade/0,,170,00.html
BTW the above is one of many!
also where are you located?
HTH

I am using the most updated PPC2002 version already. (3.20.06 ROM and 4.21 Radio)
Do u mean I have to upgrade to PPC2003?
I doubt that because they are not very stable for me to use in Hong Kong so far from other guy's comments in this website.
Thanks very much.

Since you're already running the latest upgrade its suppose to work but since it doesn't I would have to say that your always-on settings are at fault. So go to Start, Settings, Connections and make sure that its set to not disconnect.
HTH

Are you sure that it is also for xda1 ?
I can't locate that "not disconnect" setting.
Please clarify.
Thanks so much.

It should say some thing like this:
GPRS connection to remain active once the device enters power save mode.
At least it does on the PPC 2002 latest AT&T ROM and the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2. (which is bases on the O2 3.17.03 ROM).
HTH

That's really strange for my O2 xda!
I only found a setting called GPRS Suspend Mode setting.
It said,
When you are in power-saving mode, do you want to:
- Keep GPRS connection
- End GPRS connection
I clicked on the first one.
Then I close it, and connect to GPRS.
Just for a while, the connection ends by itself.
Any thought?
Thanks a lot again.

Yeap thats the correct setting and the same one I'm speaking of!
I read a lot of bad reports about the 4.21 radio stack so it might be at fault.
Maybe you should think about upgrading to the Qtec radio stack, heard nothing but good reports on that one.
The Qtek 1010 Radio Stack Upgrade can be found at:
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
BTW read the WARNING.
BTW do you have a URL for that newer o2 ROM, I'd like to install it and see if it does the same for me/
HTH

Here it is.
http://www.myxda.com/web/template/SoftwareUpgradeIntroduction.vm
BTW, I am a bit nervous to install the radio file cause I have bad experience that almost kill my phone.
Is it really okay just to install the radio file?

Unable to download, it kept asking for a IMEI.
You wouldn't happen to have the direct download link would you?

Oh! I didn't realize that...sorry.
I am still a bit nervous for upgrading (or is it actually downgrading) to the i-mat ROM.
If it is downgrading, I will definitely not try that...

Hi Qman,
I just notice that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM.
Also they have the 4.00.21 ROM (pre-release T-Mobile version). Is it for the US market only?
Chris

hi; Are you sure that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM??? Can't find it. I have downgraded my XDA yesterday from the kitchen wm2003 because of bugs to kitchen 2002 but it says 3.17.03 and not the one you mention???!!!

Hey,
That's not from the "kitchen". It's from the "upgrade" just under "kitchen". Check it out again and you will find it.
Anybody knows that 4.00.21 is good for o2 xda?
Chris

hmmm, currently I am using it
so far so good but there is one major BUT for me - most possibly that version makes wipe out my 256MB SD card every up to 48 hours
for me it is a major .... item
regards,
monika

That's terrible. What about the GPRS and phone reception?
To be honest, I won't use it if it will wipe off the sd contents every 2 days.
Have you tried to burn again?

so far GPRS is not working ....
but that is due local GSM provider that has some complicates setup as to make GPRS to work, phone recption is ok ... I am living in area where virtually all GSM phones had reception problems (i.e. majority of nokia phones), although in a city center it is perfect ....
just for you to know ... I have received a link from one of the group members for the most recent update - look there for details :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4556&highlight=4+01+00
regards, monika

Thanks very much for your reply.
But I think that Upgrade exe file is for US only cause that include the radio upgrade as well.
So, are you able to downgrade your 4.00.21 easily?
I am not sure whether its worth to downgrade your device to 3.20.06 to see whether its a real problem with SD card. And to upgrade it to 4.00.21 again to verify it. It may happen only at some occasion as you know electronic device can never guarrentee functioning 100%.
Hope you can fix your device.
Cheers

Millions thanks for both of you.

hello,
thanks for the link, it works indeed.
i only have a question,
if i upgraded with the t-mobile 4.00.21 version, does it also upgrade the radio stack? does it affect my band selection?
i used the exe file.

As much as i know, it's normal, that the device shows as B1 modell....
Which Radiostack are you using?

4.21.00. could be?

Not a good idea to use .exe method to upgrade, use the SD card method instead. You may need to manually change the radio to the local band by going into the bootloader and changing it to whatever it's not on now. One of the upgrades I did stopped the phone component totally and brought everything else to a standstill, but it was ten second fix.
Thanks for the new kitchen, it gives another option where there were few.

thanks, i just changed in the bootloader into GSM 900/1800. now it works, i just hope it doesn't only use the 900 and 1900(which i have no use in Europe). because in my device info it says B1 model. Maybe it's just because of the t-mobile upgrade, but doesn't REALLY change it.
let's hope.
thanks anyway.

No, it's all sweet now. I think the configuration in the O/S changes the device configuration, so the bootloader option and the O/S option both mirror one another. As long as it works you're fine.

Great Work! Well done!

some thing on the ger image is wrong. I have after ubgrading no usb, no com1, no gsm, no light. and the sd card is unnone card ........ !!!!

How to FIX INVALID MODEL ID after bad flashing

I change the rom and Advantage it´s broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The error is ERROR 244 INVALID ID
i have flashed my unlocked athena x7500 with rom 6.1 by irius. the update breaks at 98%.
now i have only pixels on screen, and nothing happens.
in the Bootloadr following:
\
IPL-v1.00
\
SPL-v1.20 Olipro
Help... help... help...

Explain a little more by 'changing ROM'!

I was entering a rom and I was blocking the Athena by making a reset everything returned to normal but I can not enter another rom because I get this error.
As we enter the ATHENA in Bootloader I get:
, @
IPL-V1.00
, @ MFG
SPL-3.50.OliNex
Missing data?

What ROM are you coming from? What ROM did you attempt to install? How are you trying to install it?
I'm still a little confused by 'blocking the Athena by making a reset'
If you are attempting to reflash your device to a different ROM, make sure you follow the instructions posted around the site.
Are you downgrading? Using cmonex downgrader....... I hope I can help but I need a little more information from you on whats going on.
Or maybe someone else can chime in if they get it!!!!

It seems that you did not read taxists instructions that it is for SPL 3.5 only
Why don't you try flashing AP3
Edit:
sorry bit of confusion with what you have done.
Were you on SPL 3.5 originally?
Did you use Cmonexs downgrade file after the failed Taxist flash?
If you did then trying AP3 for SPL 1.XX should work.

if you already managed to screw the modelid, the downgrader won't help, because it only reads the current information (of modelid and wifi) and transfers it to the right place when downgrading.
but the above link always helps. you just need a mac address to enter in the program.

Few questions:
How do you mess up the modeID and wifi anyway? Is it flashing to many ROMs? Does this automatically happen with the upgrade to spl 3.5? How does this happen?
Second, I have ran across my the mac address....but I'm having a blank....where can you find that at?
