Hi all,
I'm a newbie as you will probably be able to tell shortly from my question below. I recently purchased and upgraded my Siemens SX-56 from the xdadevelopers special edition rom to a wm2003 I cooked at lumpistefan's rom kitchen. The upgrade was smooth as a baby's butt. Now, I have read about radio stack upgrades in this forum but I have no idea what RSU is. Do I need to do a RSU? If so, I would like to know how or be pointed in the right direction. I really read the forums and search for answers so please do not refer me to the search engine. The current device info is now:
Rom Version: 4.01.16 ENG
Rom Date: 2/4/04
Radio Version: A.20.10
Protocol Version: 324e4
Thanks in advance.
if your gsm works DONT mess with the rsu radiostack
it's the embedded software controlling the gsm part of the xda
and if it crash or make ones xda turn into the EU gsm system or US gsm depending on where one is located then one is in for a world of trouble
sx56
Thanks, my phone works fine so I will let sleeping dogs lie. One question...if the phone works, does that mean my gsm is working?

Hello,
I have purchased just last week T-mobile pocket PC in the US, however now I am back at my home (Eastern Europe) where we use GSM (Alcatel)
The following is rom and radio version:
Rom version: 3.14.40 ENG
ROM date: 11/26/02
Radio Version: 6.18
Protocol version: 324e4
My question is what do I need to unlock this to work with my GSM company. When I paid for this ($625) I paid a phone withouth service activation.
Regards,
Bucky
Hy.
Why don't you try this question in the unlocking-section?
Why don't you read the other tasks in this section?
To unlock your T-Mobile pocket PC you need a serial cable to connect your PC with your PDA and the XDA-Manipulator-software from www.xda-developers.com
An other problem that exists will be the different GSM frequencies. As you have in USA 1900MHz you'll have in europe 900/1800Mhz. But i'm not sure if this is really so. You have to take a look at your provider (Alcatel)
Regards
Stefan
Stefan, thank you very much for your prompt reply.
However, I have been reading that the unlocked versions of T-mobile
had a Radio Version 3* or 4*, and the RADIO VERISION on my T-mobile is 6.18, thus I am not sure if this software will work out or not.
Please reply as soon as possible if you know the answer to this one.
Hey Bucky.
Most people hav Radio VErsion 3* oder 4* becuase this are european Radio Versions.
The US VErsions have othe numbers like your 6* .....
Like the posting of a XDA Developer the manipulater should work with all available Radio VErsions.
Just try it......
I see. However when I read the xda manipulator, the developers say that they have tried this only on radio version 4.06 and 4.10
Quote: " We've tested this on Radio version 4.06 and 4.10. If you dare, please let us know if you find it to work on other radio versions".
I didn't find any message that someone tried with Radio version 6.18
Do you know anyone that has tried this on US versions of T-mobile?
We have reports of succesful unlocking on US versions as well. XDAmanipulator will work with any radio version.
Peter
Hey just to add I have been one of them. You have pretty much all the same settings as mine. Just follow the instruction on the manipulators site and it will work fine. You will be done in seconds.
Hi all,
I have tried to read and understand how to upgrade my PocketPC phone, but unfortunately I am still confused:
I have non branded Microsoft "qtek" phone modelW10B1 (GSM 900/1900) with
ROM VERSION: 3.14.P6 ENG
ROM DATE: 09/26/02
Radio version: 6.18
Protocol version 324e4
Where to find the correct upgrade files?
or can someone kindly send them to me?
I would appreciate ANY help in this matter...
All the best,
Ampi
ROM is not the point. You can cook your ROM from the kitchen here. But the radio stack is so critical since you are using 900/1900. You better get the last update from your network provider or at least ask some one who's using the same network.
I have read many posts on this site that pertain to unlocking the Wallaby.
I have not actually tried it yet becuase I read that the XDAtools does not work on a wallaby without wmodem.exe. I happen to have a unit that seems to old for the XDAtool unlock and I want to make sure I have this straight.
The Wallaby is:
ROM Version: A.30.09 ENG (upgraded from ppc2002)
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio version: A.20.10
Protocol version: 324e4
Model No.: PW10B1
Thanks,
Kevin

rom date: 9/29/05
rom version: 01.12.10
protol version: 4.0.13.23
extrom version: 1.3.13.116
i know that are postings regarding new rom and upgrades, but i dont understand all this tech stuff, it will be helpfull if someone just give me the link from where to download the latest rom in english. that works well
thanx and waiting for a reply
I just used Molski's excellent 30MB-free G3 ROM which I got from
ftp://xda:[email protected]_226102_22610105_022511_WWE-30MB.exe
i had read alot in this forum and had found this ROM
Xda® Mini S Upgrade
ROM version 2.21.4.101
Radio version 02.07.10
from
http://www.o2.co.uk/xda,
dated april 2006, its 50 mb filw in size. i am downloading it.
but before installation could any one tell me whether this is the latest and worh to download or something else(newer or better) is there which i can download and use.
I have a tmobile mda and i downloaded the new radio rom 2.47 and it tells me i cant use that udate utility. Help anyone. thanx
Just got off the phone with tmo and their going to email me the unlock code and instructions on how to do it for my mda( 24-72 hours) after i unlock I'll ask more questions . I been reading around and it seems your phone has to be unlocked for most of these roms to work. So I'll be back in a few days!!
ok so i too have had the message
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again."

but after alot of experimenting i have found a solution. i thought i'd post this to help anyone else out with the same problem!
I bought an M600 on orange PAYG however on inserting my orange contract sim i can use the phone but cannot send SMS messages or adjust phone settings, if i attempt to all i get is the message above.
having spoken to orange about this several times it turns out to be a sim compatibility issue. orange however do not support sim swapping all they can do is send out sims compatible with the handset they sent you! i.e the N73 i got on upgrade.
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.
once unlocked i backed up the shipped rom to SD as described in the prophet WIKI (just in case i needed to restore it to orange settings) and then upgraded the rom.
i tried several shipped roms and eventually found this rom the
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_?QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to not only work but also be in english. its a great rom, very basic without all the junk orange supply as standard
I don't really know why this has solved my problem i think its something to do with the radio rom but whatever it is it works perfectly!
below is my phones new info, if someone with the orange Rom could post the same I'd be interested to compare the versions.
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
I hope this helps someone out there!
for discussion purposes
That sounds weird why it works like that since my understanding of unlocking CID was merely so that one could install different ROMs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong here.

it is!!!! i needed to update the rom to get it to work! as above i stated that i changed from the orange rom to the qtek one, hence CID needs to be unlocked
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.

Afaik, if you remove IPL/SPL from the ROM (There should be tutorials somewhere around here on how to do it) you don't have to CID unlock your phone.
I would really like to try this! I am always getting the same error so often whenever I send a new sms. I have an i-mate JAMin, prophet touch X ipl&spl 2.20, gsm 2.69. I can't find the ROM you're talking about in the xda-developer's ftp. Can you please upload it? Thank you so much!
its on the wiki page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs
Okay If I installed this, do I have to reinstall wm6 and then my current ROM again(Prophet Touch X)?
yes i expect so, i'm no expert, thats just the way i solved the problem on mine!
i think it has to do with the radio rom version
You can update the radio ROM without having to change the normal ROM.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Radio_1_Upgrade
I am currently using v2.69. Does it mean I have to downgrade or test other versions? How about you? What version are you using guys?
hey as i stated, i'm not entirely sure what eaxctly it was that the replacement rom fixed but it did fix it!
Are you guys using orange M600s? whats your rom info?
mine was:
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
unfortunately i had my phone stolen so i can't help much more than that.
Okay I have fixed mine. I tried all versions but only version 2.30.21 of Radio ROM only fixed my problem. Thanks guys for all the help.

I had the same issues, updated my M600 to the above ROM and it now works perfectly
wow - does that mean you guys are using a 3g sim in a orange m600??
if so - what is a radio rom (and what does it replace?)
can you run these radio roms with wm6.1? or does it mean going back to 5?
sorry for all the questions i am despirate to get my phone working!!
I have a similar problem, going to try the rom you recommended but thought I'd post my pre-rom stats.

ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
