Hi,
I have Siemens SX-56 ROM 3.04.00, radio A.20, Protocol 324e4. I'm AT&T wireless customer which was bought by Cingular. What is latest radio version I can load on a phone?
G
Curious as well
Cingular did something to the AT&T network in the Greater Salt Lake area, and now my network is stuck on 310410 (a cingular network I read)... but my phone can't take/place calls 80% of the time now, and I haven't been able to send a single SMS since then... this started about Jun-15-2005... any ideas?
I think I'm good now...
Cooked a Rom in LumpiStefans Romkitchen, WM2003 Final, ROM A.30.09 ENG (Update Siemens had available online once upon a time). This got rid of the 310410 Network ID (well, at least the name is now Cingular, same network)... didn't seem to fix my connectivity issues.
So, after reading what I could on the updateing the Radio ROM, I installed RSU_V6.25.02. This seems to have done the trick, calls, in and out and SMS are all working as expected again... I'll try and post another update later tomorrow after I have had the device up for a bit.
artisticcheese, I suggest you try this combo out, see if that helps your situation... Use the WIKI to find the radio roms... and go to http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ and cook up a similar OS ROM.
Good luck. Ive been fortunate, that all of my tinkering has been painless... although that is the only radio upgrade I tried, I had been playing around with various OS roms prior to this trying to aliviate my issues with out issue, but without improving my situation... 8)
PS. Previously I was at Radio V 6.12 (not listed anywhere)... forget what the original ROM was...
Fixed.
For sure. Any luck yourself?

Hi
What is the latest radio upgrade for t-mobile and where can i get it.
My device info. :
Rom ver. : 3.14.40 ENG
Rom date: 11/26/02
Radio ver.:6.18
Protocol ver. :324e4
Thanks :shock:
u have the latest official tmo upgrade
What about unofficial one but 100% working without problems?
u can upgrade it to ATT radio stack if u want. however people had problems reverting back to TMO radio stack. u can upgrade the OS part to 2003 if u want and leave the radio stack as is.
is anybody have the original radio stack for TMO as a file? I am thinking of reverting from At&T stack.

As far as I know once you have gone ATT you can't come back....
OR, wait until T-Mobile releases their own upgrade
any word if they will release an upgrade and if so will it contain the radio stack. I found the At&t stack kind of buggy. Maybe it's just where I am but the GPRS will droput for no reason and then I loose voice also and it will not come back until I do a soft reset.

According to Lazarus ( an ATT Network Guru) the ATT radio stack has been tweaked and optimized for ATT's network, so that would explain why others have experienced trouble....
Oh shoot, I wish I have read this post before I upgrade to the ATT radio stack. Couldn't we simply download the latest ROM from T-Mobile and revert back to the T-mobile radio stack and rom?
I tried it just crashes right after it starts. It basically says that it can't upgrade because the radio stack you have is already higher. Guess we got to wait for TMo to release something higher. I am at A.20.10 and 4.00.01Eng for os.
Try running the "Adaptrom" program in your T-mobile application upgrade folder.

it has nothing to do with adaptrom. radio stack kicks in after u flash back the OS ROM
I'd keep the ATT stack
If you use the T-mobile (US) radio stack with windows mobile 2003, you don't get always on GPRS, so I'd stick with the ATT stack for now (and I have!).
cheers,

ATT radio works fine for me too. It is more that the network drops you or you lose data connection between cells, or the network has a load balance that give placement to voice users over data when bandwidth is needed. Not so much that your radio stack does it.
On the other hand just incase anyone wants to prove my theory wrong :wink: has anyone in the US upgraded their radio stack to O2 4.21 and experienced a better performance than AT&T's radio stack :?: This means you probably already had to manually switch the default band 8) first?
Let me know I love to be wrong :shock: ......I'm only that much smarter than I was yesterday :roll: :lol:
I think 4.21 would only work in Europe. You'll probably get no signal after you upgrade from At&t stack. I am going to stick with At&t i think I just got crappy coverage in the area that's all.
@amarandei
4.21 works great here in austria with t-mobile. i have gprs always on (on now since i rebooted 3 days ago).
and if it needs to be connected that works WAYS faster that before (with 2002 and 3.16)
converning speed i can't say anything positive nor negative. it just works. sometimes slower sometimes faster.

TMO radio stack installation
I have TMO radio version 6.02
I downloaded the latest update from TMO (US) which claimed it would upgrade the radio but it did not appear to update the radio stack. Could that be becaues I am running the developers rom and it thinks I have a more recent version? If so how can I update the radio stack without having to go back to the old rom first?
:?
Hi. I started with an AT&T Siemens SX-56 with XDA Developers final 2002 software.
After burning my own 2003 ROM with Lumpi's kitchen, I installed from USB cradle. No probs.
Then I tweaked a new ROM, but it wouldn't work with USB. I had to upgrade it by SD method. Worked fine.
Don't ask me why (maybe I like having all newest versions), but I upgraded the radio using T-Mobile's 2003 updater.
I've since burned a new ROM I made in the kitchen.
My question is: I now have Wallaby Bootloader 5.22, T-Mobile kitchen ROM 4.10.16ENG 02/04/04, and Radio Stack 6.25.02. GSM Band doesn't work anymore. Is there one that will work?
I can sucessfully use Wallaby menu and change back and forth from 1900 to 900/1800, no problem, but,
1) is that the only way I can do it when I travel back and forth to Europe?
2) can I downgrade the Radio stack?
3) what versions (in your opinions) of ROM and Radio are the best/most stable/whatever...? (Internet isn't so important to me, but good cellphone signal is)
Thanks a million!
I love this site! Awesome!!!!!!
-Alex
p.s. If anyone has questions about SX56 and how to get stuff to work and what happens when you try things, just ask! I've got a spare one I do all my testing on...[/b]
I used 6.24.01 and 6.25.02 RSUs with 900 MHz ... in general there is almost no difference ... both are performing in an acceptable manner. However, I have a personal feeling that 6.24.01 was a bit more stable (I maybe wrong tho).
In all cases, as long as you have a good RSU don't touch it ... it's a risky process unless there is a real need. I didn't try the GSM band switcher my self, but I heard it requires soft reset after.
I've been reading through many posts and have become more and more confused. Basically, I'm looking for the simplest way to unlock the subsidy code on my SX56. I don't know the best method because my ROM and Radio versions don't seem to match anything posted here.
My info is as follows:
Model: PW10B1
ROM Version: A.30.09 ENG
ROM Date: 01/01/04
Radio Version: A.33.02
Protocol Version: 1.3.3
Microsoft Pocket PC Version 4.20.0 (build 13349), which I assume is Windows Mobile 2003.
I really dont' want to change over my entire ROM because this one is working very well (even the radio portion). Siemens refers me to Cingular (formerly AT&T), and AT&T won't give me the code.
Thanks for any help!

Why care if your ROM is working if there is a BETTER one?
I had your problem the week before last: There should be a way of telling someone what your IMEI number is and have them give you an unlock code but there isn't.
Just flash your ROM with the better one available here: Don't bother with the simple unlock utility available here because it probably wont run on your unit (it didn't on mine)
What do you care if your ROM is working properly if these people have designed a better one? Surely your only care should be how much you should donate to to them for developing it and then get it and unlock your unit?
And there will be the, - incalculable, - added benefit of doing one in the eye to Cingular who refused to assist you? (and, I am reliably informed, wouldnt assist you, even so far as to get THEIR phone working abroad, even if you WERE a customer of theirs)
If you want to stay at your current ROM Version, you coud make a backup from your ROM, flash the XDA-Developers ROM 1.2 to unlock your device and reflash you Backuped ROM.
I think your Radio Stack should work, so it isn´t necessary to change it.

THANK YOU, GUYS!!
I did a complete data backup and managed to save my existing ROM data to an SD card. I then performed the Special Edition ROM upgrade and it worked BEAUTIFULLY! And it successfully unlocked the unit This is a big deal to me because I was very afraid because of a disaster I had a little over a year ago.
You see, when I first got this Wallaby, it was equipped with PPC2002. After a couple of months, AT&T offered the WM2003 upgrade through Siemens. I made the mistake if upgrading,and found that the radio reception was deplorable. When I called to complain, I was told AT&T no longer supported these units. Siemens was of no help, either. (It was no big surprise that AT&T/Siemens yanked the upgrade so soon from their web sites!!)
That's when I found this site. I decided to try to replace my radio stack to its original version. I was one of those people who got the 1% problem and my Wallaby had become a shiny, silver "brick". I was going to dump it, but decided to try and see if I could get it fixed (or reflashed) through AT&T or Siemens. AT&T wouldn't do anything. They basically told me, "Sorry, your 90 days is over and we no longer support the SX-56 units." I then called Siemens and to my ASTONISHMENT, Siemens agreed to fix the unit because it was just under a year since I had purchased it! When I sent them my "brick", they sent me back a newly refurbished unit... complete with WM2003 *and* a good radio stack! So, you can see why I was afraid to try and unlock this thing!
Anyway, after performing the Special Edition ROM upgrade, I tested a different provider's SIM card (TMobile). It worked fine I then flashed the unit back to my previous ROM (WM2003) without incident and successfully restored the data. The unit is still unlocked and working quite well!
Thanks again! This is an awesome site for XDA enthusiasts!
Hi, i recently got this MDA II from a friend and finally succeeded in updating it to WM5 and ROM Version 1.72xxxxx T-Mobile (can't remember all the Numbers).
It work's perfectly for everything i wanted it for (Navi, etc.), except for phone calls. After entering the PIN it just says: Searching or No Service.
I tried a SIM from T-Mobile Austria (from where the MDA comes), and also one from Hutchinson Austria (3) - Same Prob. I also tried to unlock it with the unlock tool located on this frorum. I got no error but it told me that the phone already seems to be unlocked.
It's not a big deal for me because i never intended to use it as a phone replacement, but somehow it's bothering me a bit.
I don't know if the ROM upgrade from 1.6xxx to 1.72xxx is the Problem. To tell the true i don't even know from where I got this newer ROM. The only thing i know it was not from T-Mobile Austria.
I already found a Version from T-Mobile Austria (RUU16008GER_TMobile), but this Version is very old and I don't know if it's worth the risk of downgrading.
Can someone please give me an advice on what to do?
Thanks in advance
first of all then 1.66 and 1.72 are not wm5 roms at all they are just the last offical roms for these devices and they are wm2003 roms
second then they are roms not radiostacks (radiostacks are the software for the gsm module)

list of various radeostacks
personaly i use 1.19
Thank you, as you can see i'm a total newbee to this topic.
Is there somwhere a detailed manual for upgrading the radiostacks?
HimaUpgradeUt.exe
upgrade
rom if nk.nbf is present in the dir
and
radiostack if Radio_.nbf is present in the dir
so if you want to upgrade the radiostack along with the rom
one just make sure both of the files are present in the dir
if one wish to upgrade 1 of the 2 simply remove the other nbf file
same deal with extended rom
Thank you
Ok, i tried the 1.19 Radio Stack together with the Hima_-_Helmi_AKU3.5_ROM_SP2 ROM.
The update progress proceeded fine but i still have the same problem.
edit: Wow after 5 Minutes i've got a connection with A1 (right now i'm trying a Hutschinson SIM witch connects via GPRS automatically to A1)
Ok, i tried Roms Stack 1.19, 1.17 and 1.08.
On some certain locations i get a signal, but in general the signal is very poor.
I'm not shure but maybe the couse of the problem is the phones hardware itself, and not the software?
maybe
dont know about where you live but here i dont have too many issues
but the htc phones i had have in general had a poor signal then nokia and the likes
and poor conversation quality
you could try giving other sim cards a go as some older sims have had issues with htc phones in the past
I just wanted to inform everyone that you where right (again ).
Today i tried a newer Prepaid SIM from A1.
Now i get a full Signal from everywere in my house.
Ok, I just picked up this phone and am having major problems with the Radio reception.
Peoples phone calls either go straight into my voicemail, or I receive the call put reception is broken, I can hear a word or two every few seconds, and the other person cannot hear anything.
I'm on Rogers in Canada, anyone using this phone in Canada or on Rogers can advise which radio rom to use? I have flashed at least 6 already, even the Murata one and still no success... any help or suggestions would be great.
Just flashed the original back WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe and its a tiny bit better, where it doesnt go straight to voice mail, but reception is horrid still, inaudible.
try flashing radio 1.59.44.02... then hard reset see if that helps
Hi Lokosis,
Your signature does not give an idea of which ROM you are using. However how's the reception on your other phone (elfin)? Are you using it on the same network? Since you have already used 1.59.44.02; try going back to 1.60 ROM and a Murata Radio.
Hi 02xda2, well I'm using the PDAVIET Rom, which is 3.18.457.46, which I thought I had in my signature. The reception on my Elfin is 100% and have never had a problem, but when using the same sim card in the Polaris I'm having those major issues. The Polaris is CID/SIM unlocked already using Oli's HardSPL. I'll try flashing the 1.60 right now with the Murata and reply with results.

That's actually the first Radio I had installed, and had no luck at all with it.
UPDATE #1: Just tried the with PDAVIET V30 CE OS 5.2.20748 (Build 20748.1.4.0) along with the Murata 1.58.21.23 Radio, same problems as mentioned before. I'm also going through Settings>Phone>Band and changing it to GSM, but still the problems remain.. any suggestions?
UPDATE #2: I'v flashed the RUU_Polaris_HTC_RUS_1.25.411.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_polaris_murata_Ship.exe rom as suggested in another thread, and managed to get perfect sound received, and decent sent. Unfortunately I can't read Russian, so I managed to get the RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe which is the WWE counterpart to the RUS version, tried it with the stock Radio and no luck, flashed the Murato Radio onto the WWE and it was back to horrible.
UPDATE #3: So the only solution right now is the RUS rom, but I can't function with that as I don't read Russian. So running the HTC RUS update with radio, then flashing a new WWE rom without radio on top will work. Also atl4ntys's suggestions (below) most likely is worthy of a shot as well .
This phone being a bit aged and maybe out of warranty, how is HTC with their warranties/repairs?
hey Lokosis, have u tried c_shekhar's rom? its extremely stable, its wwe and also includes radio. u find the link in my signature. if the radio that comes with it doesn't do the job 4u then upgrade to the latest 1.58 available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479306
If still bad signal then the only thing I can say is to falsh the original spl rom and radio and send it in for repair.
PS: Make sure u flash without the micro sd card in it and hard reset as soon as u see the config screen after u flash. good luck!
