Poop! Radio not working, please help! - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

G'day fellas
I've got an O2 XDA, and just cooked up a ROM in the kitchen, flashed it to WM2003 4.01.12 ENG O2euro, which went fine. I then tried to update the Radio Stack, using O2 Latest Official Radio Stack RU 4.21 found here:
http://www.yorch.net/upgrades.htm I did this because the phone wasn't working at all, but I can only get a low signal where I am anyway.
It tried to update the Radio, went to 10% and then 'update failed'.
Now when I try to turn it just hangs on the load screen, and when I go into Wallaby Bootloader V5.17 I get 'GSM ERROR'!!
Is that the wrong radio stack for Australia? what on earth can I do now? It won't even boot up into the pocket PC.
Am I able to flash it or re-flash it again, just so I can get it working?
Please help... thanks.

You have the same problem as me. You can enter the OS but you will need to wait for a long time(~10min). Poor man, i think you can repair it only in the center, may be you will be luck if in your country there is center. Im moscow there is not. When you repaired xda, tell me ok. GOOD LUCK

Thanks for your reply, Long.
I have searched these forums extensively for an answer, and even if I was able to 'boot from SD' I don't think that would enable me to flash the radio again, only the ROM.
Yes there is a service centre here, and I would assume they are able to repair XDA's. I will take it there and hope that the repairs will not be expensive.
It's such a shame this happened, since this is my first Pocket PC, and I've only had it a few weeks. It's been a fantastic device (apart from the phone not working properly) and to think that it can stuff up so easily just by applying an 'official' update... :?
I would very much be curious as to how they would repair this at the service centre, so that we could possibly be able to fix this problem ourselves.

Load 1.1 or AT&T from Autorun???

I have made strides today, I can now connect via activesync and browse my device, however when I get to bootloader, I still get GSM Fails...
I came across some documentation that talks about autorunning to load the radio stack, but it looks like those are german/non-usa radio stacks and they don't seem to work for me...
My device is functional (albeit running really slow) as a pda, but the phone portion is still completely hosed...
Can anybody recommend some next steps??? I have tried to download the CE from another machine and that doesn't work and of course the XDARite still doesn't work for me (if I knew I could just get somebody to xdarite to my card, I would do that, but I am not convinced that will fix my problems)...
Any comments???

Your GSM is toasted
Dear Tod,
I'm afraid your GSM is toasted. Did you try using the repair.zip procedures in this forum. The other thing I'm afraid is that you are not able to find any US Radio stack from T-Mobile on the internet. You must have the correct RSU...CAB files of the old version before you upgrade than maybe you are be able to repair your GSM Error...
I tried the repair....
but the load fails and I presume that is due to a non-us or a non-tmobile rsu cab is being used....
Anybody else think of anything...
Todd
If you're on T-Mobile's network, since now you can ActiveSync, you may want to load T-Mobile's upgrade, (from their web) and run the whole thing through. That should upgrade your radio stack back to a GSM1900 version, and downgrade your ROM to the old version. If that doesn't work, your GSM hardware could be toast. After that, you can try xda developers' 1.1 ROM again.
Good Luck :shock:

O2 Radio Stack Update has trashed my XDA

Major problem with O2 upgrade. Can anyone help with recovering my O2 XDA.
I downloaded the OS and Radio Stack files from the O2 website (And read the instructions first)
Radio_Unit_Upgrade_v31703.exe
Radio_Stack_Upgrade_v421.zip
The Radio_Unit_Upgrade_v31703 went like a dream, no prob what so ever.
Once i had completed that, reset up the active sync connection i decided on the Radio Stack update - !! Disaster !!
After the reboot all i get on the screen are lines jumping about.
No number of soft or cold boots will bring it back to life.
The device is still recognised by active sync.
I have tried rerunning the Radio_Unit_Upgrade_v31703. This seems to work without hitch from the PC end. Only that the required cold boot of the XDA returns the same jumpy liney screen.
I did take an SD backup of the system before any changes were made.
Can some kind soul please help me dig myself and my only recently aquired XDA toy back out from this hole.
The model is an PW10A1
Did the radio stack upgrade complete? What happens when you try to flash the radio stack 4.21 again? Have you removed the sim card? Corrupt radio stacks are often a non reversable problem, if the xda is under warranty you might get a replacement from O2, after all it was their program that knackered the device.
Try this: Remove sim, Fully charge battery, soft reset, connect to activesync, run upgrade for radio stack again, follow instructions from there.

I made a Radio Stack upgrade mistake. Please help me fix it.

Ok, I spent quite a bit of time figuring out the Wallaby upgrade from 4.01.16 (IIRC) to the Developer's Special 1.2. Unlock was easy. Everything done pretty much per the Wallaby_HT_Unlock2 page, and it worked pretty well once I figured out the basics.
I upgraded the radio stack, but, like a big dummy, I used the wrong stack. I used a 4.21 instead of 6.24.00 that should be used. :shock: :roll:
I figured this out after fiddling with it for a while, I noticed that the phone app wouldn't open. Then I noticed that it wouldn't create a partnership via A/S 3.7.1 (4034)
I am pretty confident that I can re-flash the stack, but I can't seem to get to it via A/S.
I have: rebooted PC, hard and soft reset Wallaby, removed HTC from Device Mgr in PC and let it reinstall.
Any help on how to reestablish ActiveSync would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,

Disregard.
Not really sure what happened. It managed to set up as Guest on ActiveSync finally.
I did notice that my trackball had come unplugged. I wonder if there was some sort of conflct there. I dunno.
Thanks anyway, and this is a VERY useful forum.

or just try again?
Try this for fixing your bootloader....

I have the original stuff backed up, but once it mysteriously decided to connect with Active Sync again, all is well, so I don't need the backup even though I have it.
I was able to fix the radio stack by normal means.
Thanks a bunch for the help, folks.
I am Unlocked, updated, and making calls on Cingular network with a T-Mobile Wallaby.

Please some body answer

I own a universal o2 xda exec purchased from uk. It has been working greatly for about 8 month (on another SIM provider) without any troubles.
Suddenly it receives no signal, the phone doesn't seem to see the SIM, I can't enen access the phone settings.
After performing a soft reset I checked the device information and found that radio version & protocol version are BLANCK noyhing is written, also the IMEI number doesn't exist, nothing is written.
I tried to install a new ROM but it didn't work, I got an error message about my ROM image that is not compatible with my country code!!!!!!
I've been advised to reinstall the WM5????
Please advise.
Sorry to hear that was it an eaby or simialr purchase?
if it is dodgy or needs rom/imei etc,tbh mate your on tricky ground sadly
as its hard to get help and people may assume its stolen etc ,even tho it seesm your the victim here
i hope im wrong and someone can highlight an easy remedy
maybe the radio stack has just encountered an issue
no it was purchased directly from uk.
and it was working just fine so why now?
no way to format & reinstall the original ROM?
tbh i dont know,but youll be hard pressed to find anywere to help without a imei,thats what i mean
Even tho it's not yourfault i think ,if you start messing with the imei ,its a poss jail term
so maybe people wont rush to aid you,hopefully someone with more expertise may be able to offer help
i just mentioned that due to the fact it may be why limited response to the post
i hope there is a simple and easy fix for you

did u try hard resetting the phone? try installing the rom with a RUU with no_ID
have a look on this page, this may give you additional info;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Can you briefly describe how you did the ROM reinstallation (names of the files you opened, source, etc.)? You shouldn't be seeing the country code error message with the NO_ID installer.
have a look on this link;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those with Country Code error
You mentioned something about a problem with the radio stack. I tryed to install a No_ID rom and the system stopped at the radio stack update step.
So is it a hardware that has to be changed or exactly what?
and what has the radio stack to do with the IMEI no not appearing.
Sorry for disturbance but I 'm seeking any help

Phone Function Dead?

Ive been having some problems off and on with my phone not getting any service. I would restart the phone and it would work for a while. But now I cannot get service anywhere and the phone seems to not work at all.
Has anyone else experienced this or are there any tricks to try and fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the device seems to be now useless. Thanks
Yep, same with me. I've just upgraded ROM to Faria's last version and still not working the dam phone func
My provider is Vodafone-PT, and i have a Dual Simcard. Even when the other sim is off (unregistered on the vdf network) my hermes simply doesn't register. Not even the emergency number calls are avaiable!!! However, all the other funcs are working fine.
I think it is a softw issue, but i'm still not getting to the point to solve this problem...hope some masters can help us.
regards
plenty of things you can try and troubleshoot with, hard reset, check for bad blocks, flash new radio/ROM.
As XtreMe_G said. I've been running Faias for the last week or two with no radio problems. HR problems, now thats another story. Mke me wanna go back to wm06.
...my problem now is WORST...i've tried to downgrade SPL to unlock CID and SIM, but for somehow the active sync crashed during the rom upgrade. Now i only see the tricolor screen, and active sync doesn't recognize my term!!!
The tri-color screen is bootloader mode and active sync will not recognize your device at this point. Start the ROM upgrade again and go through it. Sometimes the cooked ROMs might flash otherwise always, shipped roms are capable of being flashed from bootloader itslef.
Regards,
Carty..
