Australia uses 900/1800 bands. What Roms will work perfectly with these? I have the T-Mobile 4.01.16 and the reception is bad...The network itself is good because i get perfect signal on my Nokia 6600.
Can you please let me know which one and where to get it?
The ROM has nothing to do with this issue ... it's the RSU version ... and for 900/1800 I think 3.25.01 is perfect but plz check with your operator first ... again, RSU flashing is so risky!!

I have just ugraded my Qtek ROM to vers. 4.00.01 (pocketPC2003) and the RSU4.21.
BUT since then I cannot see my mobile carrier anymore Orange CH (switzerland), but all the others...
Could that come from the new soft not supporting dualbandGSM 1800 ?? or naything else.
Thanks for you help !!!!
PS CAN I DOWNGRADE MY ROM TO 3.17 FROM THE O2 web site??
i believe that the current 4.00.01 is with the US radiostack
leaving your phone at 900/1900 and not 900/1800 which is the EU std
European XDA/MDA with Radio Update
Same here in Germany. First I upgraded my TMO (Germany) MDA to ROM 4.00.10 without the radio upgrade. It worked (and still works ) very well with the old (by only supported :? ) radio V3.23.00 protocol 32S54. The only thing I noticed is: the carrier (T-Mobile Germany) is not displayed (in the Today screen) and the connection bar graph is changing very often from "good" to "worse". :shock:
After this success I upgraded also the radio unit, but I better have not done that! No (neither 900 or 1800) carrier is detected by the phone anymore I tried a lot in the bootloader but nothing helped me
So I downgraded the radio to 3.23.00 with the RSU utility which is downloadable from TMO Germany. And everything is okay again

Radio Stack 3.17 FR
Seems the same problem... but luky you are, as I don't have the older RSU available...
Does anybody know where I could find the RSU 3.16 or 3.17 FR ??
Thanks in advance,
I don't know if it works but why aren't you flashing the RSU with the one from the english o2.co.uk site ore the german one? Isn't there a support page for your french xda? (From witch provider was the xda sold? AFAIK orange has its own new SPV)
The English rsu seems to be ver 4.21 and is located here http://www.o2.co.uk/personal/xda/docs/Radio_Stack_Upgrade_v421.zip
The German RSU is also V4.21 but I don't have a direct link. Just click http://www.o2online.de/o2/business/datenloesungen/xda/downloads/index.html and go ahead.
The RUU seems to have the version 3.17 (UK) or 3.19 (Germany)
Look here http://xda-developers.com/rom/ RSU-> the "Phone BIOS" and RUU->"The PDA sw" So I think the RSU is not written in a specific language but only for a special region (US and Europe). But the RUU is.
HTH, Chris
problem solved
I actually could solve the problem by going in the bootloader and switch to DualBand GSM 900/1800. BUT then you CANNOT go in the BAND menu or it automatically switch you back into 900 ...

Having problems with Radio Version 4.21 from England, ie the phone will not work (I am in Australia). The phone was working OK until I performed the upgrade
It has been suggested that I install Radio Version 6.12 from T-mobile and I have downloaded the file from Yorch, this comes up as an nbf file and I wonder if I should flash it as I can not find RSUupgrade.exe. Any suggestions ?
Chris
You downloaded the wrong file go back to Yorch's site and look under Upgrades and download "USA T-mobile Latest Radio Stack (Unofficial)
RU 6.24.00".

dont Australia use 900/1800 like europe ?
if that is the case the us RSU would ruin the phone even more

Radio Stack for Australia

Hello Qman,
Thank you for your reply! But great news here as I have managed to get my RSU version to work in Australia.
My carrier is Optus and SIM card is fine.
Basically by trying most RSU versions I wasn’t able to get the phone to work. Funny thing is I tried the RSU version for the O2, which is supporting here in Australia but to no avail! I ended up using the new T- Mobile for the US and works like a dream have fully signal as well.
New version is RSU 6.24.
Cheers Erebus,

Further to my problems I upgraded to the T-mobile 2003 ROM an their latest Radio stack 6.24 and all is working OK.
I had sent the XDA to Melbourne (Australia) to the accredited Service company (Accord) and they had sent it back saying that it was buggered. I had some very helpful advice from Peter and Joe and have everything working fine. Curiously, when I had XDA 1.2 and the T-mobile Radiostack the phone kept crashing after reboot. Since upgrading to T-Mobile 4.00.21 ENG and Radio version 6.24.00 all works well.
I did try to download some Medical software (MIMS) and thisd has proven to be a bit of a problem. The tech dude at MIMS was not too impressed with Pocket-PC 2003
Chris
Great, glad to hear it all worked out ok! 8)
Seems R 6.24 works in many wheres ... I put it on a friend's XDA and it works now (Egypt 900/1800) ... just wonder if it's wise to go for ROM 4.00.21 or keep the 4.00.11 .... I heared that you can't change the ROM after T-mobile ROMs ... is that true ?

Thats great news on RS 6.24, thanks for the tip!
As far as not being able to change ROM's after upgrading to a T-Mobile WM2003 ROM, it will still work but you must use the SD card boot loader upgrade method.

Help needed, this morning I flash my XDA with USA T-mobile Latest Radio Stack (Unofficial) but not working for my GSM 900. So I flash it back to O2 Latest Official Radio Stack RU 4.21 but it flash until 83% stop forever. So i do a soft rest. Then my XDA can't boot. Can someone help me out on this method? I'm in Malaysia. Using 900/1800 bandwidth.
Hi ...
If you have taken SD backup before upgrading, then go for bootloader menu, press Calendar button, and turn off the Radio part. Try to flash your XDA back to the original ROM and RSU, and then perform a hard reset.
In case you didn't, try the Qtek offical RSU 3.25 from http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific. It works good for Asian operators.
Good luck
Problem FIXED... Thanks for the big help.
Anyone can help me?
Because i'm very depresed now. I've upgrade my radio stack to version 4.21, then my Xda won't works with my satelindo Indonesia GSM Card.
Someone can help me? I'm very happy if there any want to email me the steps how to downgrade the radio stack. i will appreciate it.
sorry for my bad english.
What frequency does your provider use? I have 4.21 it works fine on 900/1800. I know of no method for downgrading radio stack.
My country using 900/1800 frequent.
Some GSM operator could work on my Xda. But the Satelindo GSM Card couldn't!
Really? There isn''t any way to downgrade the radio stack?
O my goodd....!!!!!
Should i change my mobile number?????
i would do a seach in the forum maybe somebody have a way of doing it
Should i change my mobile number

what ever would that help ? that is unless you changed phone company to a working one at the same time
Niki, so you are saying the satelindo sim has never worked with the xda? If that is correct you havent lost anything, and risking a radio downgrade will not help anyway even if it could be done. If you want to use your xda then you will need a sim that works on 900/1800, do you know the frequency that Satelindo uses?
Satelindo GSM is the operator in my country which use 900/1800 freq.
But when i using Telkomsel GSM, it's work's! Why? They are using same freq! (900/1800)?
If you take a look in www.myxda.com, there are one announcement that Satelindo GSM 64 Kb doesn't compatible with the new ROM. But i'm using 32 Kb GSM Card and it's still happening!
looks more like an issue with odd sim cards then a radiostack issue
Can't switch frequencies to 1900 to use phone in central US. I push 1900 and it says error and goes back to 900 which does me no good.
What can I do?
What RSU version ?
Do you do this in phone settings or GSM band switcher in boot loader ?
Change Frequencies
Not sure what you mean by RSU, but I have the XDA special edition rom 3.17.03 eng and I am doing it in the phone, I don't how to start bootloader. Thanks.
RSU stands for the Radio Stack of the device (the phone thing) ... you can read it in device info ... and if it doesn't support 1900 MHz then it's useless to try it from the phone settings.
Also, your device must be PW10B to work in 1900 .. check the rear sticker
you can start the boot loader by pressing and holding power while soft reset ... then press calendar button to go in the GSM menu.
Got into the bootloader and set to 1900. I have a PW10B1, but device info says I have a PW10A1. Why is this. The phone will now pick up a signal on 1900 but the reception is poor. Looses signal where it used to have a signal.
Radio Version is A.33.02
ROM Version is 3.17.03
Do I need to get a different ROM to get it to match a PW10B1?
Also, can I put my old ROM back on? I have it on disc? Tried to reload from Siemens site and it said I could not load on to this device.
Thanks, you have been very helpful!
It seems you used the 3.17 ROM to unlock ... what was the original ROM ?
well, I 'm the last one to advice on RSU flashing ... it's risky unless really really necessary ... check with your friends in the same area on the best RSU ... ROM doesn't make any difference.
If ok, I would recommend ROM 4.01.00 with RSU 6.25.02 ... you can cook the ROM in the kitchen but leave the RSU action as a last option
Original ROM A30.09 ENG
Radio A33.02
Since last post I figured out how to use XDA tools to get Siemens upgrade ROM back on and now every thing seems to be fine and unlocked which is what I originally wanted to use with Cingular sim. I will have to roam on ATT to use this but is OK since I have free roaming.
If I have any more problems, I will post again.
Thanks!
I have XDA with ROM 4.00.11 ENG and Radio 4.21.00. Problem is : GSM module hangs so heavily that I have to cold-reset my device. This is very oppressive especially when I have set software.
I need some advice please.
RSU 4.21 is known to have many issues as you can read in this forum ... if you are using 900/1800 MHz, it's good to switch to RSU 3.25 from Carrier Devices.
If you are not ready to give up your xda ... I strongly advice you to get it flashed by a repair center ... RSU flashing is very dangrous even tho it worked for many people here!!
One last note, better to check with your operator if they can advice on a specific RSU version
Where I can download this RSU up/downgrade software ?
Where I can download this RSU up/downgrade software ?
Here is the file ... do this action on your own responsibility!!!
...done.
well see if it works good. need couple of days. I had before also 3.23.00 and 3.23.11 - both of them sucked. Signal was very weak (according to indicator on top of the screen). Now i see quite good coverage indication. Thanxx a lot.
BTW - I was in Cairo. Enormous ....
