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.

Thanks for the post Chris, I just tried that solution but my O2 Xda just hangs when trying to install the T-Mobile upgrade with an error message in german. it was worth a try though.

The error says "Wenn ein Upgrade durchgefuhrt wird mussen sie das Gerat vom Strommetz trennen"
just sussed the error. it must mean take the pda out of the cradle .... doh

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 ?

I had uploaded the file to XDA-developers ftp, You might want to wait for the RomKitchen page after they have upload there.
Good luck. :wink:
the bootloader contained in this rom (v6.22) has a protection similar to what
is in v5.17 : DO NOT USE IT.
better extract the os image, and then flash it with osimagetool.
the os rom is very similar to v3.17.03
these are the only files that have changed:
AutoConfig.exe Backup.exe USSD.exe device.exe filesys.exe gwes.exe nk.exe stk.exe
commdlg.dll coredll.dll ddi.dll fatfs.dll irsir.dll keybddr.dll ne2000.dll pcmcia.dll rilgsm.dll sd.dll serial.dll serial2.dll serial3.dll toolhelp.dll touch.dll usb.dll wavedev.dll
wince.nls

Try this. After your Had sync with your PC (even the 1% screen pop-out from Your Unit it still can sync with your PC) copy this file to your PPC windows dir
MONITO~1.002
MONITO~1.003
This 2 file is in the programme B, just extract to a folder then U can find it.
after tranfer this file do a softreset or press ok from the 1% fail pop-out windows.(OK).
Good luck. :wink:
Thanks for the quick reply,
I have put the 2 folders in the main directory of windiws of my XDA but still have the same proplem, ??

Did you remove your Sim card? Upgrading or downgrading? which version RSU you have? After the fail upgrade did U do any hard reset?
I did remove the SIM.
I have RSU 3.23 and I am trying to install 4.16
I didn't do a hard rest , should I?
Thanking you for the help

Yes! if U really stuck on the 1% screen everytime U do the soft reset.
It will bring U back to the previous RSU.
I see. Formatting did that for me also.
What I am trying now is to get rid of the previous RSU?
Is 4.16 considered a downgrade compared to 3.23 , I know nymbers are meaning less here since they are not done by one entity.
ANy solution now? If not, what other RSU can I try and where to download it from?
THXXXXX
will, it is a downgrade even it has a higher number
"verison date
4.16 ---- ---- 6.16 02-11-15
3.23 4.20 A.20 6.23 03-03-17 "
So I am sure many have tried to downgrade their RSU and faced the same problem of "falsh failed" after 1%
PLEASE, what is/was the solution?
OCMAX, what is the RSU that you had and what is the one you up/down graded to?

I don't know which PDA model U are using? 900/1800 or 900/1900?
Hope this link can help U to download the RSU U wanted.
http://www.o2.co.uk/business/productsservices/xda/romupgradedownload/0,,113,00.html
Hello,
I am using 900/1800
I don't need the RSU 4.21
I have 3.25 and want 4.16, all the new ones are giving me trouble where I am now.
So, I am just trying to go around the downgrading problem.
You seem to have overcome it, so what RSU did u have and what did u downgrade it to?
THANKING YOU for your help and interest.

I had the same problem downgrading before from UK 4.21 to 3.17. And my upgrade is from UK 4.21 to Asian 4.21, Went I flash the rom it fail also.
I'm using 900/1800 also. And the newest RSU for this is 4.21 asian and is very stable after the upgrade. I had waited for this new RSU for sometime. Give me your e-mail address, I can send to U if U are interested.
Thank you OCMAX for the file. I did install it and I face the same problem with 1% instlation and the system reboot, may be because I did not remove the USB cable only after the upgrade begin. Any how I did follow the step you mintion by moveing the two files to the Windows dir and it works. it seems better phone singnal and I can see the G leeter for GPRS working. my system now:
ROM version 4.00.11
ROM date 06/23/03
Radio version 4.21.00
Protoccal version 32S554
Thanks again
The RSU is the same as the european upgrade right? everything seems to be similar.
wow! i didn't get the 1% hang! worked flawlessly, the upgrade that is. will test the actual calls/sms/what nots in a while.
cheerio!

The best RSU for Asia is 4.01. No Problem at all!
RSU 3.25.1 from Carrier Devices is perfect as well ... but guys, RSU flashing is extreamly risky ... do it ONLY if needed!!
niki_liandi =========== Where can i download RSU for Asia is 4.01 ?
Biso007=========== Is RSU 3.25.1 from Carrier Devices for asia network 900/1800? If YES! .. Where can I download it?
Regards,
i tried both, o still like 4.01 but don't have its file, attached is the 3.25 version which is much better than 4.16 & the ugly discustingly ****ti 4.21, though if u can find 4.01 anywhere i'll be greatfull i currently have it on my mobile & reluctant to pllay with my phone because i don't want to lose it, BEWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL QUOTE MY FRIEND BIS007 WHICH BECOME MY FAV LINE
DON'T MESS AROUND WITH A WORKING RADIO STACK OR YOU'LL END UP WITH A SILVER BRICK
Ask me i have 3, one i use as a paper weight the other as an sliver elephant & the 3rd as it keeps my coffe warm when connected to the charger :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
I have asked several times on different threads where people are claiming to have downgraded 4.21 rsu to other versions, in my experience this is impossible. Can anybody give me the methods used, step by step please.
cruisin-thru,
I managed to do this and I explain it in the following thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8293
Regards,
Bob.
I have XDA with ROM 4.00.11 ENG and Radio 4.21.00. Problem is : GSM module hangs so heavily that I have to cold-reset my device. This is very oppressive especially when I have set software.
I need some advice please.
RSU 4.21 is known to have many issues as you can read in this forum ... if you are using 900/1800 MHz, it's good to switch to RSU 3.25 from Carrier Devices.
If you are not ready to give up your xda ... I strongly advice you to get it flashed by a repair center ... RSU flashing is very dangrous even tho it worked for many people here!!
One last note, better to check with your operator if they can advice on a specific RSU version
Where I can download this RSU up/downgrade software ?
Where I can download this RSU up/downgrade software ?
Here is the file ... do this action on your own responsibility!!!
...done.
well see if it works good. need couple of days. I had before also 3.23.00 and 3.23.11 - both of them sucked. Signal was very weak (according to indicator on top of the screen). Now i see quite good coverage indication. Thanxx a lot.
BTW - I was in Cairo. Enormous ....
