Ok, well, I guess I can blow even the simplest things. I tried to run the radio stack upgrade to 6.24 (from 6.18 ), but it hung at 10% and locked up my device. I had no choice but to reset, and you can imagine the result. I know about the SD method to recover blown OS roms, can the same be done for radio stack errors? What do I need to load onto an SD? Thanks in advance.
Heh, Ok, I figured the lack of response meant "go check the archives", which I did, but I'm still stuck at a certain point here.
I can put the default 3.14 T-Mobile ROM on my device and get it to boot, and then I can swap out the RSUpgrade files with the new T-mobile 6.24 versions. However, I still get stuck with the 1% error. No matter which version of the RSU I try to use (the default one on the 3.14 ROM that tries to load itself, both versions in the repair.zip file, 4.21, and 4.26) I get the 1% error.
I've tried using the 4.00.10 rom and the 4.00.21 rom, but I can't get past the boot screen - I can't get into the OS like I can with the 3.14. Is there some kind of trick to getting these to load?
Some novel observations I've made that I haven't seen listed elsewhere, so I'll jot them down here:
1. Though the battery will not charge, the device will stay powered with the charging cable. You can unplug it for about 5-10 seconds before the unit will die. If you're fast, that's enough to get an SD card in and out, but I've found that if you push up on the charging cable you can make enough room to slip the SD (or in my case, the slimmer MMC) card in and out while charging. So don't worry about the battery running down too much, you can stay powered.
2. When the radio stack upgrade process starts, the icon for the phone status in the blue bar disappears. Then, when the 1% appears, the icon reappears. Then, the flash fails. I think the failure is occuring due to some inability to sucessfully determine the phone status. Maybe there are settings in the bootloader I need to tinker with to get the flash to work? I am on Wallaby 5.15 (at least I read about doing OS ROM updates before I started )
Thanks all for any suggestions.
Try turning off your Radio from the bootloader with the OS that boots.
To get to this option while in bootloader mode press the calendar button then turn off the radio. It may take as long as an hour or two before the
radio will boot/turn.
Confirming that you did copy the needed upgrade files to your Windows folder and then ran the upgrade from there?
HTH
Yes, the GSM is turned off. In fact, I think that may be why the RSU won't work - it can't sense the radio, and thus can't flash it. Of course, I keep getting an error when I try to turn it back on ("GSM turn ON fail !!").
I do have the files for the 4.24 loaded in right now on the O2 3.17 ROM (that one boots for me as well). They are the ones I got from you (Qman).
Just FYI, at first I was having trouble getting the files to copy over the old ones: they were protected in ROM. But, I loaded the Resco File Explorer via cab installation, and that program lets me write over them. Just another tip for those playing along at home
Heh, Ok, latest update.
I've got T-mobile rom 4.00.21 loaded and booting, and I've got the 4.24 radio stack upgrade loaded in. My GSM is off. I am still getting the 1% error. I am just going to keep trying the update. Any suggestions at this point would be welcome. Thanks.

I Encounter this error already before when I am trying to update my QTEK from Radio Stack 4.21 to 6.24, I got a 1 % Error can not update Radio Stack. But now my QTEK is working perfectly fine. first thing I have done is to connect my Qtek in Cradle and access the files( even if it show on the screen "Radio Stack Upgrade Failed" ignore this thing and keep accessing the files). I copied all the files I need using the ActiveSync Explorer, I removed the RsUpgrade.lnk on the startup folder in windows to prevent the unit on keep updating whenever I reset my unit. Next I copied the Radio Stack Upgrade 6.24 files to the \windows directory then I reset my unit again, then I go to windows directory and run the RSUpgrade.exe then it start running, and I reach 100 %, but still my GSM is not working, it is always off, then I decided to hard reset my unit and upgrade it with 4.21, and it continue to load untill 100 % then I soft reset and it works, amazing.. Now my GSM is working fine. Hope this will help you.
I'm starting to see a pattern here, it appears that most and if not all of you
are trying to upgrade from radio stack 4.21! Is that correct, if so why?
Radio stack 4.21 is the latest radio stack for your area/region and is pretty much equal to our 6.24 / A.20.10 here in the US.
Hell radio stack 4.21 might even be newer hence the failure!
So stop all of this nonsense and keep 4.21. :wink:
Just out of curiosity what band was your radio set to before you started the upgrade?

Hello,
I Upgrade my friend T-Mobile that he brought from US the band is 900/1900 and it is not working here, he have 6.24. then i change the band to 900/1800 and it works perfectly here, he can even use his old sim card from T-mobile. :wink:
Ok, thanks for the tips.
Qman, I wanted to upgrade to get the always on GPRS. I guess I upgraded to the always off instead
I've tried loading the 4.21 radio stack back in, but again, I'm getting the 1% error. I'm going to try and load up the 4.00.05 rom (which is what I was using before I tried to upgrade). I used adaptrom to load that, and that must've upgraded the radio stack on me (I had no intention to upgrade the radio stack from the original, but I guess it was automatic or something).
Is the version of 4.00.05 in the ROM kitchen the unadulterated version (providing I uncheck the "Add programs" box), or is it still stripped? I'm not sure if I can find the original 4.00.05 rom that I used: does anyone know where I can d/l it from again? Thanks.

So that means you changed the radio stack right! If so what did you change/upgrade it to? Because radio stack 6.24 only supports GSM 900
Europe and 1900 North America.

Confirming that with ROM 4.00.05 you're doing a SD card install or a .exe install from your PC? Also how were you doing the re-install of radio stack 4.21? PC install or did you copy the files over to the Windows folder and run the upgrade from for the device?
As far as the kitchen goes I believe if you leave off/uncheck Add Software and modify ROM you'll get an unadulterated ROM.
Yes, when I went to 4.00.05 the first time, I used the .exe method with a rom package I got from Yorch's website. I guess it automatically updated my radio stack when I installed it, since it went to 4.21 and I didn't run a separate update that I know of. Before that, I was running the latest official T-mobile ROM (3.14).
Since that initial OS upgrade, I have been using the SD method to swap ROMs around. (Again, I'm still on Wallaby 5.15.)
For the 4.21 upgrade, I've been doing the PC install. The version of the 4.21 RSU I downloaded was in a cab, so I just that the installer take care of it for me. For the 6.24 I got from you, I copied the files directly to the \windows directory.
Ah, poop. I was poking around in the forums some more and found the bootloader info page. I think I may have screwed my unit up worse than I thought.
In the process of trying to get my radio to turn off/on, I hit pretty much every option under the GSM menu, including GSM reset. Do you think that might have killed it?

Ok check and see if you have a RSUpgrade link in your Startup folder, if so remove it. Now do a search/find for the below 4.21 upgrade files and if by chance they're not in your Windows folder move them there and run RSUpgrade.
RSUpgrade.exe
RSUpgrade.cp64
monitor_ul_bs.map
monitor_ul_bs.m0
Ok, thanks for the tips. I think I've done that, but I will do it again tonight (at work now, and don't have the device with me).
Also, just FYI, I am in the US with T-mobile service. If I try to upgrade to the AT&T A.20.10 version, my phone won't work on Tmobile anymore, correct? Or will it?

I Updated his T-Mobile 6.24 to 4.21 so he can use his XDA here. :?
Ok, well, despite my best efforts and all of the advice I've been given, I am still unable to get past the 1% error. For some reason, my unit will just not flash, regardless of RSU or OS I am using. It might be because of messing with the settings in the bootloader, so beware of that if you are or will be in a similar situation
I would like to thank everyone for their help.
Looks like I get to "dance" with tech support at T-mobile. Wish me luck

I've got the same problem as you have had. I've got non working radio stack on my PDA and flashing stops at 1% (ver 4.21). Where can I find RSU ver 6.24? Please send it to me on my mail [email protected] or give me any link. Thanks in advance.
Go over to yorch.net: under "Upgrades", he has the latest O2, AT&T, and T-mobile radio stack updates. You will want T-mobile if you want the 6.24 stack. Good luck.
How can im flash MDA with SDCARD wifhout active sync
you don't need active sync to use the SD method ... maybe you better retype your question
i have upgraded my XDA I for wm2003 .... does it upgraded the radio stack as well or i have to do that in seprate way ? if yes then where can i get the radio rom and to upgrade it
Press hold power with soft reset, then if you SD has images, it will confirm you to download to upgrade your XDA I, if empty it will flash your XDA I images to SD..that all.....
Try your best XDA I never expire. but MDA = XDA

Sunpower,
If your GSM part is working fine in your device I recommend from you not to upgrade it. Lots of ppl here has dead devices cos of that upgrade.
Make a search about Failed Rsu upgrade and read what happened to them , believe me you wont touch this part of upgrade.
same ramram
don't try to upgrade RSU if old versions still ok.....because now i already have 2 dead xda in my hand ..... i garantee ramram idea.....
Radio ROM on SD - Anyone?
Hi all
I've got an O2 XDA with broken radio ROM from my friend. I also have my AT&T SX56 running normally (with cooked 4.01.16 ENG OS and 6.12 radio ROM).
I've tried re-flashing the dead O2 XDA radio ROM (by running RSUpgrade.exe inside WM2003 or 2002) without any success. It seems to me that a SD radio ROM flashing is a good way to try. But I can not get my SX56's radio ROM on SD card, since the device keeps asking me to connect a RS232 cable and run PC monitor when I try to create CD + GSM dump on SD card, using boot loader options.
Question:
- Is the any way to create radio ROM upgrade SD card, using XDATools or similar tools, and radio upgrading files (those file that come with RSUpgrade.cab, for example), or
- Could anybody provide me an image of such a SD card, or
- How can I dump GSM ROM form my SX56 to SD card, without RS232 cable and PCMonitor
Current soft/hardware info:
My SX56 is running 5.15 boot loader, cooked 4.01.16 ENG OS and 6.12 radio ROM
The dead O2 XDA is running 5.15 boot loader, cooked 4.01.16 ENG OS (could be changed to any version)
Thank you for reading.

Hi everybody
Yesterday i had a problem trying to upgrade my wallaby to radiostack 6.18 tu RSU 6.24.
When i was doing the upgrade with the rsu files and the upgrade was in 88% in the screen appears:
" Upgrade problem, please reset" (something like that :? )
When i did the reset i got the boot screen and in the corner only i get the ROM version. The radio stack dissapears and then im not able to have my wallaby works.
Then i get into the wallaby bootloader version 5.15 and i got the following message:
GSM-ERROR
I reset the device a lot of times and nothing. i think " god i lost mi phone"
and then reading posts and posts i solve the problem in this way:
1:- I cook a rom image in an sd card using Xtools and a card reader instaled in your pc.
2.- when you finish insert the sd card with the image, enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
3.- Bootloader should tell you something that OS is detected on your SD-Card
4.- Press Action Key to install the ROM
5.-After finishing do a hard reset
Now your ROM should be installed on your device.
6.- turn off your device, maybe you will have to press the power button several times.
7.- Remove your SIM card
8.- Turn on your device, wait about 15 minutes and you can see that the device goes out off that frezze screen and gets into the align screen setup.
9. When you get the TODAY screen connect your device in the cradle and make a new asociation for your device
10. get into the windows file with the explorer of activesync on your pc and copy the 4 radio stack files in the windows file of your deviceq and the .exe file in the \Windows\StartUp folder of your device.
11. Restart the device and the upgrade will begins automaticaly in the back ground
12. when it sucsesfully done, do a soft reset and you must have your radio stack upgrade done and your wallaby completly recovered.
13.- Insert your SIM card again and enjoy
I hope this guide will help you
Rememeber to copy the correct radio stack in your device, i used the RSU 6.24 because i have a PW10B1 wallaby. check your version in the label in the rear part off your device
[/b]
if this tip results succesfully to someone please let me know. thanks
Well done, not many people manage to repair corrupt/missing radio stack, thanks for the details also, it may help resurrect other dead Wallabys.

Thanks Stefan - I saw elsewhere what the password was, and noticed it was missing from the URL. I got the RSU file and have finally managed to get it on to the XDA, but still fails every time it restarts... the old 1% problem... Do you know if it is easier to update the radio stack from an SD card? The XDA is running the special edition ROM, which has at least given me back some control of the device.

After reading this ordeal, is it worth the risk to upgrade a working radio stack? Does the telephone work substantially better after the upgrade?

Hi, have you tried using other RSU versions? I had the same problem too (1% fail) using 4.16. After giving up on the 4.16, I tried RSU 4.21 (exe). One shot and I was able to re-flash my RSU. What I did differently was to remove the AC power while doing the RSU upgrade (the exe file prompted me). Hope you get your wallaby up and running again.
I try alot of times but it stop at 1% - full batery got the same result.

Re: Try other RSU's
Thank you for your help. I have tried many vensions of RSU, such as 4.16, 4.21, 6.24, 6.25, etc. But all of them showed 1% mistake.

Please help!
I don't restore original rom. I don't now why. The flash run only 44% and crash.
How can i restore original rom?
The 3LIT3 rom is cid locked?
Hello,
Just download the original rom WM 6.1 and install.
Follow this Step.
1. Download HTC Official Rom from http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=59&act=sd&cat=all
2. Entering BootLoader - while holding "camera button", press reset. Do not release "camera button" until tricolor screen is shown
3. Run The application downloaded from step 1.
Next.Optional.
Aft this step you must make a Hard-Spl here yo will find File Hard-SPL-V2.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69875&d=1202629374
Aft Hard-Spl you can install any ROM build for Polaris.
I hope this will help you.
Well, i had similar problem.
Reflashing stoped on radio update - i think problem causes this unreleased 1.65.30.09 Polaris radio (don't remember exact error code i've got).
You will need to flash another radio - i used one of 1.59.....
Download HardSPL (there will be every thing you need to flash the radio), copy radio file into same directory, and run RUU (RomUpdateUtility).

RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe
You can download from the XDA ftp or from this:

I had the same problem. I downgrade the radio version to 1.59.44.02 and then installed the rom I wanted to rollback.
Hi there I am have a similar problem.
Mobile is O2 Orbit II (Polaris)
I Have installed Hard-SPL-V2 and 3LIT3 VI. All worked fine.
I have now tried to install the official WM6.1 rom(both O2 HTC version)and having problems. The install gets to about 34% and shows error [262] : update error
I dont have any sdcard in the device and i have dissable my firewall/antivirus
I have been able to reinstall 3LIT3 no problem so looks like installing the official roms is a problem.
I have follow the steps iby bunex but no luck.
what am i doing wrong?. I have checked to confirm that Hard-SPL-V2 is still installed

Maybe it work.
Ok posts above (silly me did not read well) suggest i av to downgrade my radion to a 1.59...... for me to be able to then apply the official roms.
So I downloaded Official Radio 1.59.42.15
Stuck it the my sdcard and then tried to do a radio change via the sdcard install method
No luck The radio downgrade fails with the following error :-
00018003
POLAIMG.nbh - FAIL
RADIO_V2- RSA FAIL
UPDATE FAIL
update
i have succesfully restore the 3lit3 rom again, so still dont know why radio update is failing
coould this be due to download of the radio file via the phone?

Hi there I am have a similar problem.
Mobile is O2 Orbit II (Polaris)
I Have installed Hard-SPL-V2 and 3LIT3 VI. All worked fine.
I have now tried to install the official WM6.1 rom(both O2 HTC version)and having problems. The install gets to about 34% and shows error [262] : update error
I dont have any sdcard in the device and i have dissable my firewall/antivirus
I have been able to reinstall 3LIT3 no problem so looks like installing the official roms is a problem.
I have follow the steps iby bunex but no luck.
what am i doing wrong?. I have checked to confirm that Hard-SPL-V2 is still installed
are you saying that i need to downgrade the radio to 1.59.xx.xx in order to load back the official roms?
cheers

I rolled back to UDK8 rom but only after I downgrade the radio to version 1.59.44.02 - current official version.
It seems that there is a problem with 3LIT3 rom and radio version.
If you still have problems try to contact chavonbravo.
Maybe he can help.

I have written a small instruction in my previous post. Use RUU utility, don't use SD card method.

This will be usefull for all the people that want to come back to the original rom like u
Thanks, ciao ciao
Ok, first things first....
1) I don't know anything.
2) I've flashed my ELF (it's still working)
3) I have spent a week searching online for a remedy
4) I have spent all day looking through the Q&A, FAQs and previous posts before joining and posting (and failed to enjoy it)
The facts: I have a HTC Touch 'ELF' and here's what I've done to it so far:
1 Found the CID & Device ID
2 Unlocked it Sim ?
3 Backed up original rom
4 CID Hard unlock
5 Updated to Onyx 6
At this point all was well and the phone worked fine though did have memory issues - I then tried to connect to my Holox GPS - Here's the Problem - "YOUR DEVICE DID NOT CONNECT WITH BT-541 THE CONNECTION FAILED OR THE PASSCODE IS INCORRECT."
The passcode is correct, so it is just not connecting, I've found many threads on forums with similar problems, but no solutions.
Suspecting that Onyx 6 might be to blame I decided to install Onyx 4 instead (some programs I have won't run on Onyx 6 due to available memory).
Amazingly the phone is still working and Onyx 4 is properly installed.
However, the bluetooth issue is still the same.
I've followed several step by step guides and nothing I've tried has made any difference.
Could there be a conflict between the Onyx Bluetooth driver and the hardware ?
Should I install the original ROM and if so how ? I've been searching for hours and hours for basic info on flashing the OEM ROM - all the 'How To' guides assume that if you have successfully flashed the ROM you'll know how to go back - none of them actually say how to do it.
The Elf is running on Onyx 4 - any ideas how to get the Bluetooth working ?
Or try to put the OEM Rom back in ?
Should I try to add my backed up Rom to the forum or is it incredibly commonplace ?
TIA Everyone.....
Hey!
Which version of Radio and SPL do you have?
Recommended are HardSPL 3.10 and Radio 3.34.90.
Did you try a Hard Reset?
If you want to go back to your backup rom then
assuming that it is a correct *.nbh file, you just connect your phone to the pc and run the RomUpdateUtility or the CustomRUU in order to flash it over the rom you're running now.
If you want to flash an Official Shipped Rom which includes an original SPL then it is a bit more complicated because the HardSPL won't let you do that (overwrite protection).
In this case you either use the SoftSPL that came with the HardSPL or
you flash from your micro-SD card.
Regards!
Hi,
I'm pretty sure the hard SPL is 3.10.
My backup is one that I made following the instructions on this site.
The only RUU I have is "CustomRUU.exe" as shipped with Onyx 6 and Onyx 4 - can I use one of these with the original ROM ?
How do I tell what radio version it is ?
Is there anyway I can get the Bluetooth working or should I try to restore the original software ?

Hi,
1- I've been using Onyx for 2 years flashing every release and never had BT issues
The bluetooth worked before, but doesn't now - I've just tried to connect it to a couple of other phones with exactly the same result.....
2- Radio version is in Settings>>Personal>>Device info
It's running 6.1 atm 'Onyx Ultimate 4.11'
The Radio Version is 02.95.90
3- Here's the best tool to get your device info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418892
Cheers, I have used that before - here's the latest results:
Touch version : Elf
Device ID : ELF010000
CID : ORANG001
IPL : 1.16.0002

Model No. : ELF0305
Part Number : 99HDM024-00
4- Please post the exact sequence of your attempted connection so we can see if you missed something
First I unlocked it so I could use a different sim - unfortunately that was a while ago and I can't remember exactly how...
The phone (& bluetooth) worked perfectly after that and I had no problems until I changed the OS.
I did exactly what was suggested in the thread (painfully slowly) and used guides for each step.
1) Find your device's CID and Device ID - did this
2) Make a backup of the stock ROM currently on your phone - did this
3) Install an IPL/USPL or HardSPL which removes the CID lock on your phone - I installed the HardSPL
4) Flash Onyx - I did this using the supplied tool
Hi
First you have a very old radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Elf_RadioUpgrades , try the one before last.

1) How do I update just the radio ??
2) You are right - I didn't get it
oops....
Ok, here goes.
1) Turn Bluetooth on in Comm Manager on phone. Click on settings>bluetooth.
Click on Add New Device.
2) Press and hold button on Holox until blue LED flashes quickly (bind mode).
- Phone finds 'BT-541'
Select BT-541 then 'Next' - enter passcode 0000 'next'
"Your Pocket PC has connected with BT-541"
Select Services 'Serial Port' "SAVE"
- AT this point the BT-541 (or anything else I try to connect with) WILL NOT connect = "Your device did not connect with BT-541. The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect" - I have deliberately tried this with an incorrect passcode and I don't get this far, so the phone is finding other BT devices and accepting the passcode & also knows the passcode is correct.
After getting this far I've tried allocating a comport:
Com Ports > New Outgoing Port > Select BT-541 > Select Com Port 6 or 7 & secure or unsecure (I've tried all combinations, it makes no difference)
The Elf won't connect with the GPS or two other phones - that's all the bluetooth devices I have.
Anything glaringly obvious ?
TIA...

Is it ok to use 'Radio_Elfin_03.34.90' with an Elf ?
How do I install just the radio ?
Cheers....
---------------------------------------------------------
Ok, installed the new radio.
The Radio Version was 02.95.90 and is now 03.34.90.
The problem is still there.
I guess it must be hardware ?
Ok, I have a 6.5 Rom but settings are probably the same
Go to Settings>>System, scroll to External GPS and enter
In Gps program port: Com0
Next tab (Hardware): Com6 or 7 (match to what you entered in BT settings)
Enter the correct Baud rate
Next tab (Access): keep the tick on.
It should work now
Also I read somewhere that Spl 3.10 is sometimes making problems on Elf.

No, it's exactly the same.
It's not a GPS problem it's a Bluetooth problem.
Thanks for trying though.
Sorry to hear, but one last idea: try to downgrade your hspl to 2.28 (and it's always good to match the ipl too) and reflash the rom as a last attempt before you drop the towel

Other than hspl, I'm not at all sure what the rest means or how to do it...

Can I use the CustomRuu I already have ?
If so, how do I select which rom it installs ??
TIA...
A few explanations:
1- You have H(ard)Spl (ver 3.10) which means you can't overwrite it directly either you want another version of Hspl or flash an original rom.
2- You need to use S(oft)Spl to overwrite it then flash the Hspl ver 2.28
3- You can flash any custom rom.
All you need is in the 1st post of my 2nd link, especially the "more detailed instructions".
As for the RUU, you can use the one provided there: ELF_IPL-USPL_2.26.0000.zip. You just delete the .nbh file and paste another .nbh.

I thought the point of the hard spl was that it couldn't be overwritten ?
Edit:
Reading up on it.
"new feature is overwrite protection. so devices won't get bricked if flashing a full shipped rom"
Why would using a full shipped rom cause that ?
You have not read enough
It's because a full shipped rom comes with it's own Spl (resulting in Cid locking again). Using an inappropriate rom might brick a device because you can't access the possibility to Cid unlock . Hspl cannot be overwritten thus prevents the flashing of a shipped rom. On the other side custom roms don't include a Spl so they can be safely flashed on a Hspl 'ed device.
Hi,
I think I should have found a step by step guide as it hasn't gone well.
In an attempt to get the bluetooth working again, I tried to put the original rom back in.
Now I can't sync the phone and it doesn't start up.
If I turn it on I get an Orange splash screen for 12 seconds then the screen goes black - I think it shuts down.
Is it 'bricked' ?
TIA...
I hope you didn't change your hspl before you did that...

I don't think so, but it's a steep learning curve and I'm struggling.
Can it be revived ?
If so, how ?
