USA RSU Fix...help!

I have officially screwed up my RSU. I can boot into CE just fine, but there is no radio stack to speak of. After having many partial attempts, there's just nothing there. I've tried everything (or so it seems). I can do an activesync connection, btw.
Whenever I try to run PROGRAMME A, it just hangs. I hit the next button and *nothing* happens. That's any program a, whether from ATT or Tmobile.

Hi there,
Did oyu try installing the Radio Stack Programma A thingy from another windows installation? Another pc? Perhaps that will work.
Os course... you could be trying to install a version which is not suited for your GSM provider/GSM hardware. Look for info at your GSM provider website. It's hard is not impossible for anyone here to tell you which version should work for your device.
Cya,
Oz

Yeah...I tried it on my laptop too. The problem seems to be program b, which rewrites the RSU. It simply won't do it for some reason. This shouldn't be the case.

Come on....someone must have some stupid trick to re-flash the radio stack. I remember seeing solutions to the "1% problem," but all of those solutions were with the non-US radio stacks. :-/ I didn't buy my phone from Tmo, so I have no warrenty to speak of.

which rom and ruu were you using? seems like you were using the .exe correct? which unit/network are you on? this might help you get some help. be specific with the problem, etc.

What versions (ROM and Radio Stack) were you using prior to running the EXE upgrade?
What versions are currently installed?
And which radio stack are you trying to upgrade to?

I was using 4.00.005 and the newest ATTWS ROM before, and I was trying to go to Yorch's newest Tmobile beta, the one that includes the RSU.
Right now I have the most recent official Tmobile ROM and no radio stack on there.

Ejdmoo:
After decompressing the rar file, look for the two RSUpgrade files; one is .cp64 and the other is .exe. Copy them via Activesync to the windows directory on your TMo PPCPE. Then execute the RSUpgrade.exe file. That should reflash the new radio stack. It worked for me. Good luck!

I am in the same boat as ejdmoo, and had the same roms installed and all that good stuff...still no go with fixing the radio stack. One thing I noticed is that I removed the .cp64 file from the \windows directory and it still tried to update and failed at 1%. I don't think the version of the .cp64 file matters since it is not getting that far.
Another issue that popped up after the failed update is th unit does not charge, it will only run on AC, and it does not show a status in the power app under settings. Bout you ejdmoo?

Come to think of it, I am having the same power/charge problems. Also, I have tried copying the RSUpgrade.exe program to the device multiple times and from multiple sources. Also, I copied some of the other required files (something map and .c64 file), still didn't work. I think it *must* have to do with the RSUpgrade.exe, but I wouldn't know why.
FYI...I'm going on vacation this week (luckily I have a backup phone), but I expect this to be fixed when I get back! :!:

This is what adaptrom returns now, this is when the tmo is connected and browsable via AS. Anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?
Since my unit will be replaced I am willing to do some scary things with it, so if any of the xda-devolopers want me to try something let me know. I have an sd reader/writer and a usb cable but no serial cable.

Been there seen that!
Here is hope I fixed it:
First go to the below site and download and install the v4.21 ENG radio stack upgrade. Now here's the tricky part but I must warn you I did all three and really don't know which one did it, might have been a combo of all three.
1. Entered bootloader mode and selected the 900 band and re-booted.
2. Removed the SIM card and rebooted
3. Entered bootloader mode and turned off the radio.
Note you'll know when you got it right because you'll have a stable Active Sync connection. So after each of the above steps see how stable Active Sync is before trying the next step.
Reran the T-Mobile upgrade (PC install) and all went go well.

I'm not sure in which order you want me to do what...?

I had the same problem, but a hard reset fixed it for me.
David

For all of you having the same problem I have been having after upgrading to the O2 4.21 RSU here is what I have found makes the loading of the RSUpgrade files into the \windows directory work. You need to also copy the monitor_ul_bs.m0 and monitor_ul_bs.map files to the windows directory. Then when you execute the RSUpgrade.exe it works.

barjohn you are a genius!!! I can't believe I never thought of moving the other files before...you rock I am now in possesion of a fully working WM2003 T-Mobile PPC PE!!!
Thank You barjohn!!

Boy I forgot about doing the hard reset, what step was that?
It must have came right after the Radio stack upgrade, Right!
So it appears that what works for some doesn't work for others, strange business!
I read barjohn's fix were he manually copied some missing files into the windows folder and that solved it for him, I guess we were just lucky! :?

So it would be save to say that one should just copy the above files into the Windows folder first before starting the initial upgrade and forgo all of the other headaches, agreed!

Qman,
That's a great idea, but then we would miss out on the thrill of thinking we have transformed a great electronic device into a $400 paperweight! What fun is it if everything works out on the first try? Have fun!
David

Well Ive officially made my tmobile ppc a $400 paper weight. I was running the Kitchen rom with ATT radio stack and I attempted to update the RSU to the latest tmobile version to see if it improved the signal meter using the method mentioned here. I copied the files suggested here via activesync to the windows folder on my ppc and ran the exe, the upgrade stopped at 13% and that was it. Unfortunately I dont have a SD reader so Im high and dry until tomorrow. I can access the bootloader and I get the GSM error and thats it.

Fixing "GSM Error" in Wallaby Bootloader 5.15?

G'day All,
Got an XDA I here that's giving me the "white screen of death" It will start into the Bootloader (5.15) with the Action/Reset/power combo - But comes up with "GSM Error" which I understand means that the Radio Stack has died.
Ironically, this has actually occurred without playing with this unit at all!! (Just normal service!)
Does anyone know of a technique (SD card or otherwise) to restore the Radio Stack and get past this problem?
Cheers!
Andy

I just fixed a unit yesterday that had the same problem.
What I did was keep pressing the record & Contacts buttons until the welcome screen came up after that was completed. (Note this went on for
about 10 min.)
I then connected it to my PC logged on as a Guest via ActiveSync the used ActiveSync Explorer and copied the needed Radio Stack files over in the Windows root folder and ran the RSUpgrade.exe and reinstalled the Radio Stack. Your success rate may very.
Needed Radio Stack files:
RSUpgrade.exe
RSUpgrade.cp64
monitor_ul_bs.map
monitor_ul_bs.m0
FYI not knowing what OS was on the unit I upgraded it first to the AT&T pre-release WM2003 thats available on MPX200.org via the boot loader method and then used the included A.33.01 RS files to reinstall the RS.
BTW the link to the above pre-release can be found on the front page of this forum.
Good luck and HTH

Hi, i've tried extracting the files and i've got:
Orilgsm.005
000setup.999
MONITO~1.002
MONITO~1.003
RSUPGR~1.000
RSUPGR~1.001
RSUPGR~1.004
What can i do to get the four files u suggest?

Recovering from a cactus Radio Stack
Thanks for that..
Catch is though that the unit doesn't want to present a "Welcome Screen".. or boot into PPC? Just a white screen with blue strip at the top and the keyboard selector at the bottom right.
ActiveSync won't recognise the unit either...
You mention "Record / Contacts" buttons.. Could you possibly give me more details on this? If I can get the unit talking with ActiveSync again, then all should be fine reloading the Stack.. But it just doesn't seem to boot properly...
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
Cheers.
Andy

looks like you're extracting em on a filesystem that can only handle 8.3 filenames, like dos etc
try in w95 - xp or on a mac
maltloaf

You need to either extract the hole ROM upgrade file
or run it, once its finished 'unpacking' the files cancel out of it. It should leave everything in place in C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english
HTH

i also have the same problem as this.
some people tell me the radio stack can not be fixed.?
i cant see why if u can flash the rom...
if u get this fixed id love to know.

Receiving files via BlueTooth is not working

I am able to send files, but when browsing for services on my Prophet I seem to miss the FTP or OBEX bluetooth options.. Anyone having the same problem ?

Do you have the same problems with the correct ROM that came with your PocketPC ? I seriously advise people for not reporting issues with non official ROMS.

I seriously think that this is THE place to report results of the non-official roms. If I would use the official ROM , I would just bring the phone back to the shop and let them fix it ...

Hmm, I have tried multiple roms and didn't have any problems receiving files.
I just send something to my device and something pops-up if I want to accept the file yes/no. Didn't need to set anything up, just make the device discoverable.
But I'm only sending from other phones or a computer with the standard MS bluetooth stuff installed. Perhaps it could be different with other drivers?

Hallo, I have the same problem. I use a bleutooth dongle and windows xp installed somer driver. It lacks the OBEX option. I can not find the software that came with the dongle. Maybe you have the samen problem???

How are you trying to send a file? I never had to set anything with OBEX or other options when sending via the MS bluetooth driver. (which is: go the systray where there is the bluetooth icon, right-click on the icon, send file. Then search for device, select the file to send and voila, it sends).
Or does it say after that it cannot send because the device is missing a service?
When I search for services on my device it only has the DUN service available, nothing else. Yet it receives files just as it should.

try this...
go to settings - connections - beam , make sure you enable the "Receive all incoming beams" then try back sending files using your bluetooth ..

Make sure you have the following RegKey enabled to recieve files over BT from your device:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 1

Bluetooth failure

Hi everybody,
I own a HTC P3600 (under the S300+ brand) and despite a lot of attempt to setup a bluetooth connection it seems that the hardware is not recognized at all.
I have the message "there is no bluetooth hardware installed" and each time i check the BT box "activate BT" when i switch back to the activaton tab the option is unchecked. When i try to scan other devices i have an error message "problem with the bluetooth hardware"
I thought i could find a software that could verify the hardware configuration like the one we have on win XP or a driver i could install over the actual configuration but i didnt find anything.
At first the internal GPS didnt work as well but after i flashed the OS with the original OS version + the radio extension V1.48 it now works fine. However i would like to use my external BT GPS (sirf III) which is more accurate and efficient.
I'm really desperate and dont know what to do to activate the BT.
i tried hardware and soft reset, even an OS upgrade (WM6) without results.
If anyone has an idea of what i could do to test the hardware to verify if the BT is dead or if its related to a software problem.

Just one more bump and if nobody has any idea well then i give up..

Try upgrading/reflashing you Radios.

same problem after a backup restore. Hardware error radio 1.56.70.11

Hi, i've discovered that is a registry problem but i don't know what is the wrong key to repalce it

BT problem - need help - solved

I don`t know it this counts but I`m using WM6 5.2.1938 (Build 18538.0.7.0.PV.HAT)Touch & Office 6.1 NetCF 3.5 ROM
and Radio ROM 1.15.00.
I found on the net bluesoleil bluetooth stack - so I decided to change it from original one witch comes with ROM (I`ve heard that this stack is better than MS stack). I installed cab as normal program. After soft reset I lost any bluetooth settings. So I remove this stack using Remove Programs (not without problems - some files stayed) - but it didn`t help - for example I didn`t have Bluetooth settings in HTC Comm Manager - "The file 'NULL' cannot be opened.".
So I found on this forum Broadcom stack build 3900.
I have done the 3900 upgrade (using this time restartradio - according to wiki) and after this the BT fails to start due to insufficient driver memory available (there is 60mb of available program memory). I`ve no access to Advanced tab and BlueTooth Manager. Soft reset the device as instructed - same thing.
Bluetooth in Settings always shows "Bluetooth is OFF".
In Remove Programs there is no Broadcom stack, Bluesoleil was.
So, my request is - What should I do to restore standart settings comes with ROM? How to remove broadcom stack? Any ideas?
Best regards,
Watcher01

One and very easy: do a PROPER hard reset and you have everything back working and then restore your backup from before the installation of BT stack.
BTW: where did you find BlueSoleil stack for PPC? Never heard of BlueSoleil writing stacks for Windows Mobile.

Find the Helmi MS_enable cab and install it; you'll get the ms stack back.
@jakubd: The bluesoleil stack for mobile isnt working on BA; will install, but you get the Null error.

Hard reset is not an option - I`ve installed to many programs to do it again -
so I`m looking for easy way to restore default stack without hardresetting

I can`t find this cab. I`m looking for it on this forum and in google - nothing found till now. Also I want to remove Broadcom cause it`s using about 3 MB precious main storage, but I don`t know which files and where do I have to remove (there is no information in Remove Programs)
