I am new to othis whole ROM flashing business so bear with me. I used the special edition rom 3.17.03 ENG to unlock the sim. Everything went of OK but it changed the hardware identiy from PW10B1 to PW10A1. I want to rectify this so it indicates the right identity. The phoone works with ATT wireless but the internet access is quirky and shows 'page not found for yahoo.com and other portals. How can i do this
Model no.PW10B1 shows as PW10A1
ROM version 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date 5/15/03
Radio version 6.12
Protocol version 324e4
Any help appreciated.
On a not unrelated matter, the upgrade to 2003 is available at the Siemens site but it wont let me download after i give my name and email. Just says thank you and leaves me hanging in the wind.

The identity makes no difference, your phone remains 900/1900, the rom upgrade does not affect the radio so I doubt the "page not found" is to do with this, it is more likely to be your settings.
It did make a difference when i was trying to install A20.17 from the siemens site. It said the version was incompatible with the identity of my hardware. It needs to be set right. I am still having trouble with my internet settings. cannot go on the internet.
After much pain, panic and suffering I was able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 2003, thanx to XDAtools and the folks who created this forum. Thanx a bunch. But in the process i lost the number of programs that were part of the special edition which i briefly had in my SX56 for a couple of days. Is there a way of adding them to the WM2003 environment. Thank again for the many tutorials in this forum.
If they are part of the kitchen list, just check them before cooking the ROM

Hi,
Siemens SX56 Unlock
I would like to know if someone unlocked its phone by himself.
All we read is people from everywhere except with AT&T.
My ROM version: 3.14.03 ENG date: 09/27/02
Radio version 6.12 protocol 324e4
Frequency 900/1900 American model PW10B
Does the Rom Update 3.17 from xda-developers works with Rogers AT&T?
Can we expect our phone to live after that update?
Is the new ROM functionnalities user friendly? Would you rather keep the old ROM version both UNLOCKED?
If you got your SX56 unlocked, can you tell me what you did?
I'd like to have your comments on what you did before I do it.
After spending that kind of money, I wouldn't like to kill my phone.
So let me know how you did it and what did you need to update it.
I expect to get details from you.
Thanking you in advance!!!
The ROM has nothing to do with receiving the signal. It's the RSU part (Radio part of the device). ROM 3.17 should be fine with unlocking, but you may try this tool firls to keep your current ROM www.xda-developers.com\XDAunlock\
To determine the best RSU to use with your new network then you have to get some info about your device and the frequency of the network (900/1800 or 900/1900).
But ... get your XDA unlocked first then we'll see if it receives signal or not.
Good luck
I unlocked my Siemens SX56 from AT&T with the XDA Manipulator tool on this site. To use it, you need a serial cable for your SX56. I just made one. In reality, it would have been much easier to simply upgrade with the special edition ROM on this wedsite and use the unlock tool. The ROM upgrade should not effect the phone at all since it is the windows operating system and not the radio software (radio stack) which is a seperate upgradeable piece of software.
To be safe, just download your current ROM onto an SD card and then use a seperate SD card to upload the upgrade ROM. If you don't like the upgrade ROM, you can always restore the original ROM and the good news is that once your phone is unlocked, it's unlocked no matter what ROM you use.
Good luck, and upgrading ROM's using the SD method is really the safest way IMHO. You can find plenty of information describing the process on this site.

I just uploaded ROM version 3.17.03 ENG. My T-Mobile PW10B1 now identifies itself as a PW10"A"1 under "Settings", "Device Information".
Is this going to cause a problem?
My next step was to change from T-Mobile to AT&T, and I need to know if I will have to change the Radio Version. Currently 6.02. I know that there seems to be a lot of problems with Flashing the RSU. Do I have any choice in the matter?
hello. If it work. I you should keep it. Otherwise you have to upgrade the radio stack. It is safe but you need to follow the sreen correctly.
First if you have a laptop, It perfect(in case the Electronic power cut off)
2. upgrade the rom image only from AT&T ver 20.07 using xda tool
3. go to AT&T official site to upgrade you os 2003.(this include OS and Latest Stack.
good luck. 100 safe without any problem. I have done over 70 units.
The device report makes no difference to your phone, your phone will remain 900/1900.
Have been to the kitchen and done some cooking the last night.
Facts:Using SD card for all upgrades
Never cook anything but the Base ROM itself (e.g. no extras)
The upgrade works perfect every time, meaning it ends successfully so that I can do a cold boot to start the "new" ROM image.
ROM version org: 3.16
Current ROM: 3.20.06 ENG
Radio version: 3.19.01
Protocol version: 32S54
Model No: PW10A1
RAM: 32MB
Flash size: 32MB
SD Card size: 64MB
I have been able to switch back and forth between different 2002 ROM's
but every time I upgrade to 2003 ROM the unit hangs on the introductions screen. I see the splash for instans 4.01.19: s "Welcome to T-Mobile"
In the bottom right corner I can see the Protocol version, ROM version and Radio version numbers. BUT there it is and it does not respond to any buttons or even magic words like pretty please with suger on top.
I have tried the following versions:
4.00.33 GER, 4.01.00 ENG, 4.01.16 ENG and A.30.09 ENG
I have no problem getting back to a working unit with almost any 2002 ROM but hey I wanna try it out with a 2003 ROM.
Any ideas anyone? I have been looking around quit a bit but cant see that anyone posted something that helps me out here.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this great forum!

not sure but maybe the 32MB ram is too little for 2003
these devices are pretty rare i think
maybe you should try doing a search for people with 32MB devices
and their exp with 2003 ?

The 32 MB shouldn't be the problem. Using myself a device with only 32 MB without any problems with WM2003 .....
Maybe it's a problem with the Radio Stack...
Nearly all the providers of a WM2003 Release included a Radio Stack Update. Myself i've tested it with the 4.21 and the 3.23. Maybe yours 3.19. is just too old.....
Stefan
Ok, here we go again,
found the Radio Stack Upgrade from O2 uk (V421)
and upgraded witout problem to this one.
No I tried to upgrade with 2003 ROM 4.01.16 ENG but still same thing.
It hangs on boot screen even though it now in the lower right corner says:
G32S54
R4.21.00
4.01.16
I will try to load ROM A.30.09 ENG now.
I let you know how it goes.
/Jonas
Still no luck
Ok I have now tried will all known 2003 ROMs from the kitchen with the same sad result. (hang on boot screen as before)
I now downloaded the official O2 uk release of upgrade for XDAII (Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe) when I unpack this one I find the following files that might be useful ms_.nbf, NK.nbf, Radio_.nbf.
When I try to write the NK.nbf to my SD card XDATools tells me that it does not recognize the file format.
I think I have seen something about this error but I cant find it now.
Im not even sure if this ROM will work. I can not see that this ROM is uploaded in the kitchen either but perhaps it will be?
So Im still stuck so any tips would be great and I keep testing new ways ahead.

hi. as LumpiStefan commended, you need to upgrade the latest radio stack. I think the radio stack 6.24 will work for you. check my posted for the radio stack.
Secondly, the radio stack will work it its specific OS rom image. for example, the radio stack for Tmoble , must match the Tmobile OS. you can not use radio stack built for O2 for Tmobile OS.
Therefore, try to upgrade with matching OS and its Radio Stack. I tried one night with all OS from Tmobile, ATT and OS to come with these solutions.

That´s wrong. 6.24 is for PW10B Models with 900/1900 MHz GSM. Do not use it on your device

That´s wrong too. Already used some T-Mobile ROMS with O2 Radiostack....
Stefan
hi LumpiStefan,
Okay. I am wrong. this radio stack use in USA.
Also, I don't know but I had tried to swap the radio stack O2 to run on Tmobile or ATT, the radio stack never turn On.
Also can you help me to have a radio stack version 4.20 or lower. ther repair.zip contain version 4.21. Thanks for correcting me.
Hi people.
I have an ImateJam PM10A that i require help with.
On boot up i notice it says "no GSM" D.1.12.00 WWE
The sys info i get from device information is:
ROM Version 1.12.00 WWE
ROM Date 05/28/05
Radio version BLANK
Ext rom version 1.12.119 WWE
As a result no GSM whatsoever.
Hope you guys can help me ?
Kind regards,
Mitch.
did you do anything to your jam before this happened? i dont know too much about this stuff but i would say reinstall the rom, heres what clubimate has to say about pm10a rom upgrades:
If the model number indicates PM10A, then the customer should upgrade with the Generic Worldwide English ROM Build. You will not be able to install the North American JAM (850) ROM. This WWE build does not include the connection settings for the US operators found in the North American build, though these are all available to download separately from club i-mate™.
Hi..
Ur r seeing no GSM on boot because radio is missing,meaning no phone,just the PDA...
U just have to reflash radio,and for doing that:
go to the ftp from here,download MAupgradeUt_noID.exe,and a radio ROM of ur liking(1.12 is preferable,it is radio_.nbf file),put the 2 files in 1 folder,remember to also put RUU.dll in it,enter ur phone in bootloader mode by pressing power button,camera and reset(i guess,it's been a while since I have'nt reflashed a Magician :wink:,anyway make sure by reading the wiki page from here),then run MAupgradeUt_noID.exe,and follow on screen procedures...
Good luck...
RAGO :lol:
Tried an upgrade to the latest UK wwe full image using MAupgradeUt_noID.exe and also the latest radio rom.
whilst the upgrades complete ok the radio version and protocol version still remain blank??
any ideas on what the generic world wide flash file is called and i will give it a go.

need a shipped ROM for a MDA Compact PM10A, T-Mobile, english
guys, please help me with this, it's urgent for me! if you have it, put it on ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Shipped_ROMS
Thanx!
I have an i-mate K-JAM and need to get the t-mobile blackberry client working to access corporate email. I upgade my ROM to following:-
ROM ver 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date 2/6/06
Radio ver 02.07.10
Protocol ver 413.1.03
ExtROM ver 2.16.9.101
Installed Blackberry client and desktop with no problems but client will not connect. I could not install the t-mobile ROm as I has an Invalid Vendor ID message.
Any suggestions how I might get it to work, I have heard that the t-mobile client is incompatible with ROM ver 2.0, but also understand I cannot now load a lower ROM version.
Dude, I hate to bring down the rain on your head but if you look in this forum you will find an extensive thread on BB Connect for the Wizard. I'd suggest reading it - first off it doesn't work with AKU2 ROMs so you're on a hiding to nothing unless you downgrade. Second, the reast is in the thread.
Sorry for being a novis, but we need to start somewhere! According to the I-mate Club website once the ROM has been updated to AKU02 it cannot be reinstalled with older version. Any assistance/clarification very welcome.
shiskinegolf - imate club don't know what they're on about mate. Read the lokiwiz thread on this forum at the beginning and it will tell you how to SIM and CID unlock your unit. I'd also recommend reading the last three pages or so of discussion which takes you through the issues we were having unlocking AKU2 ROMS - there is a trick to it but I understand lokiwiz has been updated to make it work since we were using the get around. Once you have SuperCID unlocked you can install any ROM you like (that includes downgrading to an AKU1).
