I have just taken delivery today of 6 (UK) XDA's for one of my clients.
They have rom version 3.16.32 ENG dated 13 Feb 2003 and radio version 4.20.00
This seems to be later than the recently released upgrades :3.14.13 ENG and 4.16

Hi,
and do they have SIM toolkit and Wireless modem application? :?:
Indeedy they do
I only took delivery last evening, I have not had time to play though.
Really, 3.16.32 has even Wireless modem application??? :shock:
Yes, a contact at O2 sent me this version.
I am still struggling with a few bugs though. Lets wait and see what happens with this.
the rom update you mention is installed on new 64 meg XDA's as well
has anyone seen any use for the new sim tool kit as it does nothing on my machine ???
xda
what is the tool kit supposed to do as mine doesent do a thing but the machine seems a lot more stable and you get alot more software on the disk that comes with it :lol:
Does anybody know where to download this version??? :?:
can anyone help please?

Sorry to say that a lot of user is stuck with this RSU 4.21 including me, Which can't downgrade back to older version. You might need to wait for newer version.
Friendly speaking only saw a post from this forum that ONE person manage to revert back the RSU. :wink:
:lol:
On my xda (MDA from T-Mobile Germany) I made a complete update with RUU & RSU from this file "4.00.10 - official-tmo2003.rar". After that I experienced same probs as any (?) other European user. So I decided to switch back: I downloaded my old 3.23 RSU from T-Mobile Germany (http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/software/t_mobile_mda_gsm_gprs_update_v3_23.exe and installed it. While installing to my desktop I ignored an error that says I am trying to install an older version and I should not do that blablabla. It automatically installs (copies) every needed file to the xda via ActiveSync add/remove software dialog.
The updateprogram starts automatically on the xda. It goes slowly to 100% without any error but after a self-performed soft reset it starts again?! So I looked in the StartUp folder and there it was: the program rsuupdate... Incorrectly it was still there, so I deleted it myself.
Now I have a RUU V 4.00.10 ENG with PW10B1 (on my german PW10A1) and a RSU V 3.23. It's running more stable than everytime before.

update
new problem.
After turning the phone part off, I find that I cant turn it back on again. if I reflash with 4.21 the phone turns on but again the no signal problem comes back
When I say phone part, what I mean is the pda works fine just the phone connection
glad the weather is nice for you .. here in the UK North East coast we are having heavy rain and thunder storms. its nice n cool though and gives me an excuse to sit here and check out the new threads.

Uh, that sounds not good.. We have 30 °C (86 °F) and a lot of sun.
Which RSU did you use? The german one from T-Mobile.de? I suppose it is optimized in any way. Try the English one at http://www.o2.co.uk/personal/xda/docs/Radio_Stack_Upgrade_v421.zip
Chris (meanwhile outside in the sun with laptop and WLAN)
T-Mobile versions don't have GPRS 4+1 AFAIK...
Chris.
yep I used the T-mobile one in your origional post and it works fine until you turn of the radio part on the pda. The alternative link you suggested is the one that has the big problems radio stack v4.21 from O2 Uk.
no worries, ill just have to wait until O2 uk sort out the bugs
thanks for all the advice much apreciated

RSU problems...
I also had some problems after upgrading to 4.21 (including not seeing my home network!!!).
I went into the bootloader and siwtched to DualBand GSM 900/1800, and then everything worked again. BUT then you NEVER go anymore in the menu BAND of your settings or it will switch you back to old config.
Give it a try,
Laurent
Thanks Ill give that a try and keep everyone posted on the situation
Chris (species)
Still the same im afraid,
looks like I will be waiting for O2 to do some bug fixing and releasing an update. Unless anyone knows better ?
Hi i bought this new phone T-Mobile MDA PRO and for some reason the Imate Jas jar software shows, the guy whom i bought this phone said that the phone was unlocked and the rom flashed with Imate Jas jar.. here is my rom version :
ROm version : 1.12.38.wwe
rom date : 08/24/05
Radio version : 1.03.00
Protocol version : 42.36 p8
extrom version : 1.12.120 wwe
Now my question is should i install a T-mobile rom update or should i Update the rom with the Imate jasjar ??
Where can i find the latest Imate Jas jar version pls help
Well I would suggest that the first thing you do is ask yourself, why you are upgrading. What is broken now, or doesn't work as you would like. Then which ROM will fix this problem.
Basically I'm saying if it's working OK now for you, don't upgrade. If you bought it as a toy, or something to learn on then it doesn't matter. You can upgrade to what ever you think you might like. If on the other hand it is a tool then don't "fix" it if it's working OK for you now.
The problem what i see is when i play music files .. the music starts plays for 4-5 seconds and then stops for 2 seconds and then plays nonstop. it happens with all the music files and ringertones as well..
and i would also like to know if the ROM update would make my device a better one ? just assuming whats ur say.
I would want my Reception on fido to improve
Hi,
I need a little help. I have XDA Orbit from O2. Some times ago I unlocked it via imei-check.co.uk. Today I try many coocked rom updates like Black & Blue and to the end I upgrade it with oryginal O2 WM 6.
After that IPL and SPL was upgraded from 1.25 to 3.04. Now I can not upgrade my device with any rom update, I always hahe ERROR 270 (image file damaged), files are OK, becouse I test it before that las upgrade.
I do CID and Sim unlock once again but without positive results.
I found some rom update from uk t-mobile byt after upload that rom I couldn;t do any other rom update too beside oryginal edition form O2 UK.
Can any body tell me what a f... is going on ?
Hi all,
I have a MDA TOUCH XL (Elfin) from T-Mobile.
However when i got this Unit from a private Person iwould have real bad Signal, to mostly no Signal.
After some research i came across this Radio Update under the following Link:
http://gsmfreeboard.com/showthread.php?t=147057
However i did not read that this was NOT for the ELFIN but only for the ELF.
After 2 hrs of only having the Bootimage of T-Mobile for about 10 seconds and then a black screen i finally got back into the Bootloader to upload the O2 ROM that is also mentioned in the above Link (page 4 or 5).
Since then I can not flash, as i always get an Error about corrupted File or incompatible Device.
Same Error with the official T-Mobile Rom
Here my Units Info:
MDA TOUCH XL
WM 6 Professional
Installed Rom: O2 4.1.100.1332
IPL 2.21.0002
SPL 2.23.0000
Mostly i get an Error 270.
Can anyone please tell me what exactly i would have to get to update Roms again and how to update IPL and SPL (if needed) ???
I have read for days on different sites and either ia m to stupid to find the right answer or i am the 1st with this Issue.
English is not my Homelanguage, so maybe thats why i am to stupid i guess.
So if anyone could please help me?
I would be very thankful.
Thank you in advance:
Wolfgang
