ROM 4.00.01 and DualBandGSM ?

I have just ugraded my Qtek ROM to vers. 4.00.01 (pocketPC2003) and the RSU4.21.
BUT since then I cannot see my mobile carrier anymore Orange CH (switzerland), but all the others...
Could that come from the new soft not supporting dualbandGSM 1800 ?? or naything else.
Thanks for you help !!!!
PS CAN I DOWNGRADE MY ROM TO 3.17 FROM THE O2 web site??

i believe that the current 4.00.01 is with the US radiostack
leaving your phone at 900/1900 and not 900/1800 which is the EU std

European XDA/MDA with Radio Update
Same here in Germany. First I upgraded my TMO (Germany) MDA to ROM 4.00.10 without the radio upgrade. It worked (and still works ) very well with the old (by only supported :? ) radio V3.23.00 protocol 32S54. The only thing I noticed is: the carrier (T-Mobile Germany) is not displayed (in the Today screen) and the connection bar graph is changing very often from "good" to "worse". :shock:
After this success I upgraded also the radio unit, but I better have not done that! No (neither 900 or 1800) carrier is detected by the phone anymore I tried a lot in the bootloader but nothing helped me
So I downgraded the radio to 3.23.00 with the RSU utility which is downloadable from TMO Germany. And everything is okay again

Radio Stack 3.17 FR
Seems the same problem... but luky you are, as I don't have the older RSU available...
Does anybody know where I could find the RSU 3.16 or 3.17 FR ??
Thanks in advance,

I don't know if it works but why aren't you flashing the RSU with the one from the english o2.co.uk site ore the german one? Isn't there a support page for your french xda? (From witch provider was the xda sold? AFAIK orange has its own new SPV)
The English rsu seems to be ver 4.21 and is located here http://www.o2.co.uk/personal/xda/docs/Radio_Stack_Upgrade_v421.zip
The German RSU is also V4.21 but I don't have a direct link. Just click http://www.o2online.de/o2/business/datenloesungen/xda/downloads/index.html and go ahead.
The RUU seems to have the version 3.17 (UK) or 3.19 (Germany)
Look here http://xda-developers.com/rom/ RSU-> the "Phone BIOS" and RUU->"The PDA sw" So I think the RSU is not written in a specific language but only for a special region (US and Europe). But the RUU is.
HTH, Chris

problem solved
I actually could solve the problem by going in the bootloader and switch to DualBand GSM 900/1800. BUT then you CANNOT go in the BAND menu or it automatically switch you back into 900 ...

How can I restore my system to the original states

Hello,
I know that I should'nt have do that, but I need your help.
I upgrade my MDA on the following state :
Rom : 4.01.16 Eng
RSU : 4.21.00
For buisness reson I have to go back to the original state.
Rom : 3.18.01 ENG
RSU : 3.23.00
Unfortunatly I didn't do a Backup
I have acces to some MDA with the originale rom and rsu
My question is how to go back to the originale state, without destroying the other mda with the originale rom? via bootloader?
Thanks in advance

The ROM part is easy, you can get the original 3.18 ENG from the carrier devices site http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific
The RSU might be your nightmare especially that you have 4.21 which showed to be the pain for most people here ... anyway, in the same site you will find RSU 3.25 for Qtek ... it's almost the same as 3.23.
Good luck

Biso007 Thanks for you answer,
I look at your link but it seems to be the Qteck version, I really need the officiale t-mobile version.
Is there any way to save the originale one in one of the other phone that I have access and restore to my one?

Biso: Is the rom found in http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific WM2003? What radio version it contain? Is it compatible with PW10B1 device?
I'm now running T-Mobile ROM 4.01.16 ENG, Radio 6.25.02. I'm plannning to change the Radio to be compatible with Asia-Pacific and in the US (I've been going to Asia and back to the States for business, so I want a device compatible with both Asia-Pacific and US). Thanks

ok I Download the old version on a new phone via OSimagetool to my sd card and put it on my device. working perfectly.
So now I just have to downgrade the radio stack to 3.23.00, where I can find it and how to downgrade?

I download the file here
http://www.t-mobile.at/business/mobiles_arbeiten/MDA/SWupdates/
Looks like it's working, (at least I have the right number at startup)
the only problems that I had it's that rhe rsupgrade was lauch every time I startup, I had to delete the file rsupgrade on startup folder. now it's working like before.
Thanks a lot.

By the way, does it exist a solution in mda to copy contact name to the sim card?

No, it's PPC2002 and the RSU is 3.25 for PW10A devices (900/1800). I know it coz it was on my device before I replace the mother board with a B-type one.
If you are going to use 900 MHs network in Asia you can keep your current RSU ... I have it on my device and my network is 900/1800 ... other than this you better use 2 phones or get a new XDA II

Dealing with the SIM book is a matter of s/w and the device type (XDA or MDA or ... ) has nothing to do with it. You can find many freeware s/w to deal with the SIM entries.

ok thanks a lot, do you just have the name of one of this freeware?

Please help i have put the wrong radio in my old XDA1

Hi all,
Could someone please advise me if i have a XDA1 or a paperweight, I use a XDA2, but as i had a old 32MB XDA1 with what looked like the version befor PPC2002 i thort i would be clever and put a 2003 rom on it.
its a uk 900/1800 PW10A1 device, anyway with delay i dowloaded the latest 2003 rom i could find ( T-Mobile 2003 4.21 beta) anyway i put the relevent file on a SD ard and upgraded that way.
As this had lots of T-Mobile bits i did not wont i found a older non network branded 2003 rom. but my problem is the devve is now listed as a PW10B1, and of ocrse i cant use 1800 anymore, ( iam in the uk and was going to use it on Orange (1800),
I have read throught the forum and tried many ways to fix this with various roms and then in the phone section changing bands , also bootloader all with no affect, the best i can get is a fresh earlie clean 2003 rom but only working 900mhz.
Dose anyone have any ideas last resorts how i can make it work on 1800 like it did befor i jumped in head first and not reading that the t-mobile 2003 rom will make it a 900/1900 device
any idea even if it compleetly kills it it was wort a try
Thanks
John

do a search in the forums there have been tons of posts about how you downgrade the radio stack
personaly i dont know because
the main reason we use xdatools to upgrade our devices to
so we can use the nbf file only making sure the radio stack is not
messed with

Thanks Rudegar
I have tried downgrading the radio, some times it works and sometimes it dose not I either end up with no radio or as i have at the moment a radio stuck on 900mhz, i have found 6 or 7 different radios but none will let me use 1800,
Is there a way i can kill the radio the hopefully get it to restore to the original
Thanks
John

how to go back to 900/1800 (which rom?)

After upgrading to t-mobile rom gsm module was working until I hit the "band" tab from phone menu. of course what happened I realized after reading posts from forum.
Now, I need help how to go back to 900/1800 frequency (Poland) - which rom to use, where to download it or how to change to these frequencies.
help pls.

for 900/1800 use v. 4.00.01, 4.00.05 , 4.00.11 for upgrade to WM2003
(v.4.01 & 4.05 you can up/downgrade by program setup)

you can switch it on the bootloader !!!

Advice needed for Cingular 8525 in Australia

Recently got a Cingular 8525 unlocked in US.
When I was searching for the Optus network(my network provider) via the Network setting on the phone, It only showed Telstra on the list.
I am thinking of flashing the firmware.
Just wonderring if there this is one good way of solving this question. Or are there alternatives to this?
Can I actually flash a Dopod 838 Pro firmware on it?
BTW the australian version of the phone is Jasjam. if this info helps.

I don't know why Optus wasn't showing, but I can tell you that you can indeed flash a Dopod ROM on your device. Please read the Upgrading forum and the wiki for more info.

Cingular 8525 can support ordinary GSM networks right?
Once think i know is that Telstra has the HSP...thingie.. the high speed 3G network.
Would it be possible that Cingular only recognize signals from the HSP..thingie high speed network from Telstra?

Only if it's set to do so. I've never used a Cingular ROM on my Hermes, but on other devices, I know they like to restrict things. Switching to a different ROM may be helpful in that respect, in case they have restricted that.
If you decide to flash, I would recommend the following steps:
1. Flash Hard-SPL to lessen the chance of bricking your device in the future
2. Flash the 1.38.00.10 Radio ROM (latest and greatest)
3. Flash an OS-only ROM of your choice - I would recommend a WM6 ROM because the most work is being done on those at the moment, and WM6 appears to be faster than WM5.
The wiki has links to all the available Radio and OS ROMs. All the WM6 ROMs are cooked, so look in that section. The reason I am recommending a mix-and-match approach is that it allows for the most choice as well as safety. Normal ROMs from providers flash everything - bootloader, radio, OS, and ExtROM. If the flashing fails at an inopportune moment, your device could be permanently bricked. However, when flashing different parts at different times, you lessen the chance of bricking. For example, when I was flashing the WM6 ROM, the flash process suddenly froze at 22%. But it was an OS-only upgrade, so my bootloader and radio ROM remained intact, and since I flashed the Hard-SPL bootloader earlier, I was able to simply restart the flashing process, and it completed successfully.
I hope this helps. BTW, I think you're referring to HSDPA, a high-speed download upgrade to UMTS.

i've made the CID to SUperCID using CIDhack v3.0 from pof. (Software results said it was successfully changed CID to SuperCID)
Can I lock this SuperCID status forever?
Where can i find the OS-only ROMs? I can only see available full ROMs in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Is there a instruction on how to use mtty or putty? I find myself hard to follow how to enter those commands and verify certain values in bootloader. e.g. CID infomation

As for flashing the dopod rom on the cingular, you can do that. I have an Imate JasJam i bought overseas and i'm using it in the US with cingular. I've flashed 2 different cingular roms on it with no problems (other than the video call being disabled but thats not functioning in america.) My JasJam is SuperCID.
Hope this helps, as to not seeing the network you need, don't know whats causing that. Have you put the Band Selection to auto under phone settings?

As I stated earlier, the OS-only ROMs are WM6, so look under the Cooked ROMs section. Once you've made your device SuperCID it will stay SuperCID unless something goes horribly wrong and your CID gets corrupted (which wouldn't be a problem if you have Hard-SPL)

First of all. I'd like to thank all the guys replied to my message. I am very happy to announce that my Cingular 8525 is now working in Australia with Optus GSM network.
Here is the steps I had:
1) using pof's "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker New version v3" tool to change the CID to SuperCID
2) Because my original SPL version on the phone is 1.06. So I downloaded Cingular 1.04 firmware and upgraded via USB in bootloader mode. (I wasnt sure if i needed this step even thou I had made CID to SuperCID, but I was thinking of using Cingular 1.04 before I change it to other OS)
3) downloaded JasJam 1.04 firmware and upgraded via USB again
4) Now there is some extra options in Network Tab, most importantly there is a Band tab for user to select between GSM and WCDMA network. I then selected Optus of course...
5) Mission accomplished!
Again, Thanks guys!! thank you so much for helping me out.
Now there are several things that I am still unsure about:
1) Did I Hard-SPL the CID already using pof's "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker New version v3"?
2) How can I type in commands in bootloader mode to check status? via mtty or ssh? if so, which address and port number i should connect to? what User name and PW to use.
3) The Jasjam firmware I used was "I-mate English CDL__001 1.20.305.3 07/21/06 1.20.305.104 1.07.03.10 32.41.7010.02H 14955.2.3.0 2.3 1.04 107 ". According to the specs "32.41.7010.02H " I shold have HSDPA because the number ends with a "H". But I can only select between Auto, GSM and WCDMA. So where has the HSDPA gone to?

1) No. Hard-SPL is a modified bootloader flashed onto your device. It shows SPL version 1.10 Oli or the new version 2 Hard-SPL shows 1.11 Oli (I assume).
2) You must use mtty or a similar serial communications program. SSH is a completely different protocol, and has absolutely nothing to do with this. You do not need a username or password to access the Hermes through mtty.
3) HSDPA is an upgrade to UMTS. UMTS is based on WCDMA, so that is what you should choose.

when you mention serial communication, I can actually use USB connection right?
I found this info in one of the latest WM6 rom info on this forum, details as below:
------- Starts here ------------------
WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (2007-03-20)
(WM6 Pro Style)
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.09
GSM: 1.34.00.10 (very stable with my RomUpdate!!!)
OS: 3.23.0.0
Splash: Black HTC Splash (thanks, Incorrect!)
------- Ends here ------------------
Noted the SPL there is 1.09...
Does it mean if I flash this OS to my phone.. it will change my SPL from 1.04 (current) to 1.09?

It's a serial communications protocol. Besides, USB=Universal Serial Bus

Yes, the newest LVSW ROM comes with a bootloader (1.09) and a radio ROM (1.34). People are requesting an OS-only update from him because we like to have our own BL and radio ROMs. I have a feeling he'll upload one soon, if he hasn't already.

If I want to flash my 8525 with the following image:
Dopod English http://dict.leo.org/en.gif DOPOD001 1.30.707.4 08/22/06 ?? 1.20.31.10 32.52.7020.00H 14955.2.3.0 2.3 1.06 107
so..two questions (maybe stupid noobie questions):
1) will my SPL be affected after I've run Hard-SPL before flashing?
2) Do I need to run Hard-SPL everytime before I flash my phone?

I don't think you're getting what I'm saying. The SPL, as referred to in this context, is the bootloader. It is arguably the most important part of the firmware because it is the first thing that starts up and then loads the radio and OS components. Hard-SPL is a hacked bootloader made by xda-dev member Olipro, which forgoes certain security checks and allows us to flash ROMs we would not ordinarily be able to flash. Does that make sense so far?
Next, you're asking about an official ROM upgrade from Dopod. All official ROM upgrades (except for one, a German radio-only upgrade) include a bootloader, radio, OS, and ExtROM. So if you flash an official ROM, your current bootloader - be it Hard-SPL or anything else - will be overwritten.
That's why I think it's safer to flash individual updates instead of full ones, so that only the things you want to be overwritten will be overwritten and everything else will be as it was before.
If you flash that Dopod ROM, you will have SPL-1.06, radio 1.20, and their OS and ExtROM customizations. If you already have Hard-SPL installed, it will be overwritten by SPL-1.06.
Please reread this whole thread carefully before posting a response.
