Hi !
I installed the new PPC2003 Version and used the phone settings. when i want to quit the settings it asks to reboot for band changes.. but i didnt select anything. after the reboot my phone wasnt able to connect to my provider, so i used the phone-settings again to change them to US (but i'm in europe - i wanted to set them back again afterwarts). After the reboot my phone is dead. no pin-code question, no dial AND NO PHONE-SETTINGS. it just wont start again (just the waiting wheel).
i flashed the gsm part with 3.23, i reflashed to ppc2002 3.17, but still no way to use the phone.
what can i do?
Thanks for your help.... Jabba
Open and close the SIM cover and hard reset?
still no change...
i flashed the gsm and the ce part back to my providers files (4.19 and 3.19.01 german)...but still noluck
i can enter my pin number now, but after that the phone app freezes.
AND ActiveSync isnt recognizing my xda anymore....hardware manager has a htc device in its list, but activesync isnt able to find it.
GOT IT...
i used the bootloader (5.22 now) to set my phone to gsm 900/1800 now it works again....
So caution....in the ppc2003 4.00.01 you can set gsm to 900 or 1900 only!!! no way to set it to gsm 900/1800.
when your use start/settings/phone and quit it then ce will set gsm to either 900 or 1900! i wasnt able to avoid that :-(
it is interesting to see that activesync isnt working without the gsm-part working in the right gsm-mode ?!?! WHY?
Jabba
Dear Sir , How to update my xda bootloader 5.17 to 5.22, I had the same problem after change the band to 1900, I need to return the GSM900.
Please post a link on descriping the bootloader 5.22 and the program download
I think you should be able to set your phone back to your gsm-setting via every version of the bootloader....
just try to activate the bootloader (warmboot(reset) with power button pressed) push your calendar button and select the gsm setting you nedd with your cursor and press the actionbutton (middle of cursor).. it will do a coldboot automatically (i think) so every personal data will be lost.
the 5.22 bootloader was installed with the latest rom. a .nbf file contains both. CE update and Bootloader update.
Jabba
It seems bootloader 5.15 has the GSM 900/1800 option too, therefore we don't have upgrade to 5.22.
By the way, is it possible to write a utility block this page?
:lol:
Thanks for all, I got it, and the dualband is working again now.
PPC 2003 is stable, waiting for o2 custom make version
After doing that change my phone now has 45% better reception after accidentaly changing it to GSM 900 then going into the bootloader and changing it back to GSM 900/1800
now i have the asia version of the phone.. does this mean if i change it to GSM 1900 to go overseas it will work, or will the phone dissapear?
Ok so I trashed my ppc doing the radio update. Since I did the exact thing that Freshster did here is a cut and paste of my problem
" So, I tried running this TMO 4.00.10 upgrade in order to upgrade the radio stack to 6.24.00. While it was doing the radio stack upgrade, it failed at 13% complete. The error told me to "reset the device normally, wait for the radio stack to repair itself, reset the device again normally, then try to run the upgrade again."
After I did the normal reset that it told me to do, my screen got stuck on the ROM Kitchen boot screen and only showed a G, R, and 4.00.05 at the bottom corner, without showing a radio version or protocol version number. The led would not light up anymore. It did not flash green to show that it had signal, and it would not even show orange when it was connected to a charger. "
At this point Im SOL until tomorrow b/c I dont have a SD reader, my question is, can I upgrade the radio via the SD and hopefully get things going again? Or do I just attempt to reload a whole new rom and rsu via the SD card tomorrow. Thanks in advance for your help.
This is just a suggestion, I don't know if it will work.
1. Bootup in the Wallaby Boot Loader (hold power button while soft reset)
2. Press Calender button to bring up radio stack selections
3. Select turn off GSM
4. Reset and see if it will boot up when it doesn't have radio turned on
5. If it will, then set in active sync in guest mode
6. copy the RSUpgrade files to your window directory on the device using the explorer option in active sync
7. copy the two monitor files monitor_ul_bs.map and .m0 to the windows directory
8. reomove the device from the active sync
9. using the explorer on the device find the RSUpgrade executable in the windows directory and double click
10. this should start the radio upgrade going again
GOOD LUCK!
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it but now luck. The pda stays stuck on the rom kitchen boot up screen. Thanks again.
OK, I had the exact same problem. You have to be patient, when you reset the device you'll get the R blank / G blank because the existing radio stack has now been trashed. eventually the PPC OS will boot. At this point reset again, wait for CE to boot & then reset again, The point is keep resetting the PPC every time you get the R Blank & G blank screen and wait for CE to boot. ON each reset the radio stack upgrade is working in the back ground. After 4 or 5 resets mine came up with R 6.24. at this point I connected the PPC back to Activesync & reran the upgrade & it went through just fine & installed the T-Mobile WM2003 ROM
Pdageek1 is right on the money! But I'll add one more step, remove your SIM card. HTH
I will try this on my way to work. I have another question, is the unit still charging when its on the base even though the charge light is not on? Thanks
I had same problem, if you flash with old t-mo rom it boots up everytime and will allow you to reflash radio stack.

hello pdageek and thanks for the suggestions. I have left my unit on at the splash screen with the blank g and r for about 5 2 minute sessions with no luck. Im hesitant to leave it on too long and have it eat up my battery. How long in total did it take your pda to boot up with the corrupt radio upgrade?
Sirseymore, the problem I have right now is that I cant even get it past the splash screen, since the OS is not booting up I cant see the unti via active sync.
You can't just it leave setting there with the blank screen you have to keep
doing the soft resets, until it boots!
Also to speed things up a bit during some of your soft resets try holding the volume control button, it similar to holding the hand of a sick person.
I know it sounds funny but hey what the hell, I did it! :wink:
One last note it also might help if you do a hard reset while holding the volume conrol buttom. I know that also sounds funny but hey I did that too! :wink:
HTH
Thanks for all your suggestions everyone. I ended up loade the latest tmobile rom via the loader, I let the pda sit at the Tmobile splash screen for 15 minutes until it booted into CE. Next I copied the necessary files for the RSU into the windows folder, ran the executable and all is working now.
Once again thanks for all the great people in this forum.

When you say Latest tmobile rom do you mean the 4.00.10 or the latest rom off of Tmobile's Website?
I got the same problem as you did blank g and r
Let me know Thanks, Allen
I'm in the same boat. I was running 4.00.05/stock 6.18 RS on T-Mobile USA.
I decided to try to do the Radio Stack upgrade by copying the extracted rsupgrade and monitor files to the device, and running them. It hung at 13%, so I soft-reset, and it hung at the blank G, blank R, 4.00.05 screen.
I tried turning GSM off in the bootloader, and have removed my SIM card. No luck.
Then, I flashed to the 4.00.10 ROM via bootloader, and I'm still sitting at the G/R screen. I have soft reset a few times, but that hasn't gotten me anywhere. I haven't left it for longer than 3 minutes or so before I get so anxious that I try another soft reset.
There seem to be two bodies of opinion here - those that say you should keep soft resetting until CE boots, and those that say just to leave it and wait for CE to boot (15+ minutes).
Is there any consensus among those that have recovered from now-infamous blank G/R screen? Should we wait, or should we keep soft-resetting?

I let mine sit, and after about 15 minutes, it did finally come back up. I was able to copy the files and manually run the 6.24 RS upgrade, and I think everything is going to be OK now.. *crosses fingers*

Well mine is working very good i havent came acoss any errors yet All i did was do the regular upgrade to 4.00.10 and got to 13% on Radio Stack Upgrade when it errored so i took it out did a few Soft Reset's no luck so i flashed the 4.00.10 Rom through the wallaby bootloader got it up waited patiently for CE to load... loaded after about 15 minutes at that time it was running terribly slow and when i got it up i had no service because i had no Radio Stack so i then loaded up this old radio stack well not so old but it was version 4.21 i then soft reset the device started the 4.00.10 install it went through the Radio Stack then the Rom update with absolutley NO errors or conflicts so everything is working great..
Heres something to keep in mind DONT Upgrade To Tmobile Rom 4.00.10 With the radio stack version A.20.10 Or you will be doing what i had to do!
i want to say thanks to all the great people out there posting
Thanks, Allen

My suggestion is this when you're in deep dodo, try it all! :wink:
Because as your seeing what works for some doesn't always
work for others.
Reflect, sorry I wasnt able to answer the specifics of the rom earlier, I was talking about th 4.00.10 version. Im glad you were able to fix the problem. :wink:
After waiting the 15 minutes to recover from the blank G/R screen, and successfully upgrading the Radio Stack to 6.24 and the ROM to 4.00.10, I've been using it for a day or so now, and I am pleased with the new ROM and radio stack.
Biggest plus for me is that GPRS now stays "always-on", even when the unit is turned off/suspended. I also like the fact that AIM 2.0, and PDF/PowerPoint viewers are included in the ROM.
As far as stability, I have had a couple of lockups (cleared by soft resets), and one spontaneous soft reset, but these could have been caused by software that I have installed (SpB GPRS Monitor, StocksAndWeatherToday, Journal Bar, Battery Bar, PocketNav, AE Uptime, Fonix VoiceDial Premium, Resco Explorer 2003).
I have had a couple of instances where the GPRS connection stops transferring any data, but still shows as connected. Since there's no way to turn off GPRS (SpB GPRS Monitor has a Disconnect button, but it doesn't seem to work), I can clear this condition by turning the phone off (not the unit, but the phone/radio) then turning it back on and reconnecting GPRS.
Thanks to everyone on this forum for your help, support, and ideas! This is a great amateur developer community.

P.S. - Reflect, sorry I didn't answer your IM. I was in bed...
OK, I am going to try this once more since I can't stand having a useless phone...lol
I *had* the 4.00.05 ROM and the newest at&t radio stack on my T-Mobile phone (with TM service).
Attempted to install the T-Mobile 4.00.10 rom and associated radio stack via the .exe method over that, and it failed.
After that, I tried reverting back to the old T-Mobile 3.14 rom, via the sd card method. That seems to have loaded, but the GSM is still screwed.
Currently, when I start up the phone, I get the Welcome to T-Mobile startup screen, with 3.14 in the bottom corner. After a minute the G with no number after it is there, and below that, instead of an R is a U? (Maybe because I don't have the sim card in?) With no number. Then I get the "bing" sound, and it goes to a blank screen.
Reading through the posts here, it sounds like I should write the 4.00.10 ROM to the unit with the SD card, then wait for it to start up?
Should I have the sim card in?
When should I try the soft-resetting?
Just as an update, so far so good. I wrote the 4.00.10 rom to the unit with the sd card. Did a hard reset like it told me to. Now starts up with the T-Mobile Test only Not for sale screen. Shows 4.00.10, G with nothing after it, and R with nothing after it. It now stays at this screen though, instead of going to the blank screen. I guess this is a good sign, I am in a position others have been in. Yay! Waiting on it now to do something...anything, and I will attempt the radio fix.
I have one unit I was trying to upgrade the radio on and it came back and said upgrade failed. However now when I reset the device it won't get past the splash screen and the radio stuff never appears. Is there a way to reload the radio via sd?
You may try this first ...
get the boot loader screen (Power + soft reset) press the calendar button. This should bring the GSM menu. Select "Turn GSM off" and do a soft reset. If it works and you get the normal Today screen, connect the XDA to your PC through Active Sync. Locate the directory \windows\startup and delete the RSU upgrade file (something like RSupgrade.sa.cab).
If all this works, download the latest upgrade version from TMO 4.01.00 and either do a full upgrade (RSU + CE) or extract the RSU upgrade files using Winzip and put them on SD card and flash you device.
Good luck ...
please help! I have made a wrong ROM Update for my Artemis. The result is that it doeasn`t starts anymore. I see only the start screen no more. If i make a SW or HW reset tahn i see a 3 colored screen and USB. But i don`t get a connection via usb to my compute`! How can i wake up my Artemis ???
tell use more what did you do and how did you do it?
what artemis is it?
what rom was it
Flash went sour..
You need the original ROM which was on your device when you bought it. What version (HTC, MDA, etc..) and what language was the original ROM?
please i need help too
I guess I made the same or a similar mistake that dr.moppi did. My machine is a Dopod P800 from mainland china with the chinese operating system. I flahsed it with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap. Don't really remember what the original ROM was but now when i turn it on it freezes when it lights up. On the screen, it says
IPL 1.27.0001
SPL 1.27.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
DOPOD
I don't get a connection through usb to the computer either. I am not sure if I did the hard reset correctly. Didn't understand the instruction on that "press the soft key left and right and soft reset at the same time." Anyway, you guys are all experts, can you help me please?
it should be the same as my problem
if i remeber than i used the same ROM Update :-(
I hope anyone could give us a solution, please.
@dr. moppi we can only help you if we know what version you had before.
@empathyvirus you have to look for the original ROM which, in your case, should be the Chinese Dopod ROM. Install that one and your good to go.
Without the original ROM the only thing left to do is: sending your device to your provider or contact and sent it to the guys of imei-check. Either way, you'll probably have to pay to get it fixed.
how to install original rom
Thanks for your quick reply Pyth. In the case I get the original ROM from somewhere, how do I install it if I can't get a connection between the phone and my computer? Can you advice?
Put your device in bootloader by pressing the record button and reset at the same time. If you have your USB-cable connected between your PC and your phone it will indicate a connection by 'USB' in the left corner of your device. Now you should be able to run the ROM executable and update your device.
thanks anyway
i tried but it didn't seem to work. anyway, i have troubled you enough and maybe it's best i just go to the repair centre of dopod and pay for a fix. i really appreciate your help though Pyth.
Where can i find the t-mobile rom its the MDA Compact III that wont start for me
OK heres my situation:
i upgraded from the stock o2 wm2003 to wm6 using the wiki ROM:
Helmi Windows Mobile 6 Profesional R0
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
now on bootup it says
R:none
G:none
D:5.60.00 WE
It boots up fine but....
i cant get any reception.- just says "no service"
i have also tried disabling and re-enabling "Phone" in com manager
Yes, i have done a soft reset, hard reset and ive tried XPLODE wm6.5 and my current wm6 ROM.
XDA unlock all reported a successful unlock.
HELP!!!
OK, i did the thing in the ROM post said:
"R None if you take out battery and turn it on without push the reset button twice.
SDK?"
and it works now but when i turn it on i have to press the reset button twice every time
can someone help?
first of all you must unlock sim under WM 2003, then remove the extrom of 2003 to gain adidional 16 mb of storage (resize DOC), then you must upgrade to radio version 1.15 and then you must try any WM5, 6, 6.1, 6.5 rom
so now flash your shipped rom, you may find preferred rom for your operator in my signature, then start everything from the beginning
ok, it has kinda settled down now, working as normal.
I have "unlock sim under WM 2003, then remove the extrom of 2003 to gain adidional 16 mb of storage (resize DOC)"
If i wanted to upgrade my radio version would i have to flash the ROM again?
no you can flash radio rom only without the OS
Jejeje
Hey Xplode i never was able to see that tools like unlock extrom and repart DOC works on my BA... it always shows an error! when i execute the unhide hide repart etc etc.. so I upgrade even tought jajaja.
they only work on WM 2003

are you sure xplode, cause i unlock my phone using the tools from the BA wiki and im using wm6.5.
ok,
i upgraded my radio to 1.15.....
but i still got the problem
none
I get this on my wm6.1 but normally gets sorted after a soft reset
HMM!!!!
Same problem, after updating from stock WM2003 to WM6.1PRO all steps done like the wiki steps except the ExtRom step, couldnt get the unhide, unlock program to run (missing file or libraries error), so i flashed sun's WM6.1PRO without the extra storage, now when i change the battery i get the NO radio bootloader, still im able to fix it by doing a soft reset, but the strangest thing is that im not able to use the wifi :/. So the thing is, when i turn on without the radio i can use the wifi, but no the phone(airplane mode), and when i do a soft reset, the radio shows and i can use the phone but the wifi doesnt turn on at all!. Any help please, dont make me choose betwen my phone and my wifi
PD: is not only the radio missing the i change the battery, also R:none G:none
I have a Qtek9090
very odd ,i can use my wifi when the phone is on.
But i went from wm2003 to wm6.5 to wm6
wierd....
so, is there a solution? I've got the same problem
Ops! Solved. Do a soft reset via the button.
(I always do a softreset via unlocking the battery and locking it again)
Every one here should know that there is no WM 6 for BlueAngel by microsoft. it is ported on BA by helmi_c and that >> R none and G none << Bug is in WM 6 from very first day. SO Whenever u pull the battery out u need to SOFT Reset the device after putting the battery on phone.(u need to wait to start the phone to reset, just put the battery and insert the stylus at reset point.)
there is no point discussing about this anymore. thread should be closed.
i have the solution about this problem, im recovery from it.
first of all, downgrade ur ba tu ship rom, and go back to upgrade 6,5 rom, after finis doit "WM5" hardreset.... search the way in wiki.
wala........its done and run normal r;none g;none not see again. have try it
This is an old problem... Rnone Gnone
solved by sticking your soft reset button after changing battery or a hard reset.
The Wifi-Phone problem is solved by buying a new battery. The Wifi module wont fireup because of the lack in power draw since the phone is using much of it.
Buying a new battery solves plenty of problem. even OS speedup because it solves the lag the "modules" (e.g camera/lan/phone/mmc) detection gives while in bootup or execution.
If you still have problems. We can always point to the wiki.
Have a nice day!
