Radio Stack Rom and PC Monitor???? - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hi there,
I have tried to upgrade the radio stack on my XDA. This seems to have fried the machine so it will no longer get past the inital load screen.
I have a spare XDA that I want to try and get the Radio Stack ROM image off of (onto SD) and boot the broken XDA with this SD in and get it ot reload the radio stack.
Firstly is this possible?
Secondly, when I go to the bootloader on the working XDA and select GSM -> SD it tells me to insert serial cable and run PC Monitor. Now I have a serial cable but I have no software called PC Monitor. Anyone know where I get this and how it works.
I have seen various articles about Radio Roms but most seem to refer to the 1% problem, which I dont have.
Can anyone help please? I need some clear concise instructions on how to go from here
Many thanks
Keith

no known way to get the RSU on SD through boot loader options ... you better send your device to repair

Radio Update broke my MDA

Hello everyone.
Im having serious trouble with my MDA i updated just yesterday. Somehow it hung up at 60%. Waited for about 15 Minutes but nothing happened. So restart, but MDA was dead.
I managed it ti load the CE and ROM with an SD from another MDA into the broken one. Went well, the device boots, after 15 minutes, but everything goes very slow.
So managed it to upload the cab file of the RSU on another SD, inserted it, executed, but at 1% it just fails to flash and want to restart the MDA.
I also tested the method someone mentioned with the autorun.exe, didnt help.
In the wallaby bootloader i saw that there is an option to Backup the GSM ROM to SD, but then it wants some kind of "PC Monitor". Thought it might be some kind of hyperterminal connection, but turned out not to be.
So, does anybody here have a clue what to do???
GSM ERROR
Hello there
I've suffered the same problem as many others did.
I suggest one final solution before giving up and believing it's a dead motherboard.
the solution I believe is:
1- Using a working XDA and through the bootloader click on contacts button to get to the flash menu then click on the option for copying rom and GSM to SD.
2- after complete copy use the same SD card in your device (at bootloader)
3- tell me what you get..

Gives me the already mentioned "Please connect RS232 and run PC Monitor" Screen...
If you are sure you have followed all procedure re: 1% screen of death mentioned in various threads in this forum, then you're best bet is to return the unit the your distributor/ service centre for repair.
I had this problem and posted my experiences on several threads. I spent the first 2-3 weeks trying different things without any luck. THen one day, I just return the unit the distributor and they repaired in two days. I was told they had to replace the GSM main board.
My problem was caused by T Mobile radio stack upgrade ( I did not use SD method, so the installation installed Tmobile radio stack on my 900/1800 xda. It worked fine until I accidentally 'checked' the 1900 option...
Just my two cents

ROM was erased

HELP.... I was unable to upload my sx56 with the new 2003. I crashed my ROM... Any ideas on how to restore.

Tell me what you see from the display.
I can help!
Froozen SX56 while upgrading the ROM
Unfortunately my system crashed when i was upgrading my ROM this is for a AT&T SX56 Pocket PC which I wanted to unlocked so that I could use it with T-Mobile SIM card. Now the screen says :
Upgrading
It will take about 5 minutes...
I was trying to upgrade it with the xda-developer rom verison.
I dont have any backup also for this device please help and I do have a SD card and SD card reader also.
If the bootloader not be erased, you could still use SD to restore OS.
If the bootloader already damaged, the only solution is hardware solution.
I can help you to resolve all problems
How to restore using the SD please tell me.
I do get the bootloader mode when i pressed the power , navigator and reset button on the pda

I had this stupid RadioStack crash that resulted in GSM ERROR that made my device unable to recharge the battery or run mobile function, so the status now is a ppc which has no phone and should always be conected to AC
when I consulted the Agent service tey claimed it's a motherboard error that would require a new baord, which'll cost me around 300$.
could you please help me!!
Cgaigate, is it possible to restore a corrupt radio stack using jtag, if you have the capability I can let people know.
GSM ERROR - RADIO STACK CRASH
Hi Smiley,
I crashed my Radio Stack, too. Has anyone an idea? Is it possible to repair? By myself?
I heard cgigate could help?
Bye
Yep - "GSM Error" in Wallaby Bootloader 5.15
Anyone got any ideas on fixing this one?
Cheers!

XDA1 Software upgrade.. now it wont power up

Hi got the xda1 rom/radio upgrade from o2 web site.
installed radio upgrade first, it then asked me to remove ac power, i took it off dockign station, it rebooted, asked me for a simlock.. to which there was no mention of in the upgrade instructions.. i turned it off and on, and now it wont even boot up.. comes on with 02 logo.. then a white screen with blue banner at top..
what can i do to fix it??
i cant even see it on the pc!!!
please advise, i really hope i have not broken it.
can o2 do anything?
i can get to the bootloader by holding down power when soft resetting phone.. comes up with gsm error...
then nothing....
i can get to other menu about sd backup ect if i hold down the two buttons at top of unit when in bootloader.
how do i go about repairing the radio and rom ??
is it possible?
bootloader
ok, i can copy the rom ect from xda to sd card... and even copy it back over again.. so if i put the sd card in a reader on the pc.. and put a good rom and radio on it.. will it work ok booting off the sd card?
i can get to that menu from the bootloader..
You need to get a working rom installed then try to address the gsm error, I never heard of an xda asking for sid code when doing an official upgrade. Did you leave your sim card in the xda when it was updating the radio stack? You may be aware from reading on the forum that radio stacks once corrupted are very difficult if not impossible to rectify. I would suggest unpacking the rom you downloaded, burn just the ce part to rom using sd/bootloader method, then try to install gsm again, this time without sim inserted, you will find here on the forum the instructions to burn gsm from sd card, do this after you have a working bootable system. Good luck.
yes., the sim card was in the system at the time.. its an 02 sim card however, so i guessed this was ok.
printed out the 10 page instructions on how to upgrade s.ware so there was no problems (like this)
the radio stack was installed before the rom if that makes any difference?
is it possible for the xda1 just to lock up like this without having done it the way i did?
perhaps it would have done this anyway??
just thinking i could bring it back to place i got it at and not inform them of the s.ware upgrade that caused the problem to see if they can replace it or something...
just an idea, coz at the moment im kind of stuck.
Hi ...
If you managed to reinstall the ROM through SD card, does it mean you have a bootable system but the RSU doesn't work ?
If so and you can access the XDA from Activesync, then you may locate the 4 files of the RSU upgrade from the \windows\startup directory ... delete them then a hard reset may flash the original RSU back if it's not screwed up.
it should be possible to flash the rom via sd, as i can dump the faulty one to sd and then back over.. so, that part of the bootloader works.
ill ring the place ig ot it at and see what they can do, as it just "went off, all by itself"
i would try the sd flash myself but i aint got a card reader for sd.. just smart media.. lol
it doesnt sound as bad as some peoples s.ware problems however, as the bootloader seems to work ok.,. so fixing it may be possible, but ill give place i got it off a ring first.
thanks for all the info.
If it is under warranty and using the official flash upgrade destroyed the gsm radio stack then O2 should repair or replace. Radio stacks are very difficult to repair and people have asked about getting it fixed only to be told the mainboard needs replacing at huge cost.
thanks for the info, i got a sd card reader, but when i put the thing into pc it asks to format it so it wont read the stuff ive dumped from xda to the card..
oh well, ill give these guys a ring to see what they can do.
where can i get hold of the files to put to the sd card?
ive got the rom/radio files, but they are pc exe`s and not seperate files..
well, i got it flashed ok using official 3.17 s.ware via sd card..
on powering up, it still fails, just white screen with blue top, although there is a keyboard icon on the bottom right which was not there before.
still get gsm error on bootloader..
if only there was a way to put new radio stack on it via sd

Yes, I update without sim card and minisd. Always stop at 1%
to be on the safe side i will go over general insraction
battery full
recomended xp os & activesync 4.5 (not beta)
minsd & sim out
ac addapter connected (ac power from orig transformer)
hart reset your device before the update
connect device directly to computer's usb plug
run the update
try radio only &/or the all update you can also try on a different pc
if all didn't work read this and see if you can find somthing that works on the 6900

Thank you for your reply!
I tried but still same, stop at 1% when I flash Radio WAN OS, stop at 2% when I flash Radio FS. I tried to unlock simlock and CID unlock, but it doesn't work on my 6965
called a few places looks like the radio chip is fried. sorry man...not looking good.
try update again with this method
I got almost same problem. I tried to update GSM rom but update fail and my ipaq stuck at hp invent logo. try following steps to see if it works for you
Solution:
this is what I did to get this fixed.
1) Get the battery out of the iPaq, and wait for a few minutes while the "serial" image fades away slowly.
2) In the meantime, prepare your cradle, plugged into the AC charger and plugged via USB to your PC.
3) After a few minutes, with the screen of the iPaq completely gray, put the battery and battery cap back on (with our without SIM card), and put it on the cradle immediately.
4) The iPaq should start coming back to life, as if it were being hard reset. Let is stay on the welcome screen (i.e., do not tap it or anything).
5) Restart the upgrade process, it should proceed from there OK
Thank you to origianl solution provider
