Need advice in latest Radio Stack Upgrade

I have a Qtek 1010 with 3.16.52 ENG ROM and Radio Stack version 3.23.01 but the radio is not working perfectly. An upgrade to Radio Stack 4.21 would be useful (or harmful !) ?
Thanks

hello THE PROPHETOR
can you please explain in more details what happend so other people will not do the same thing and break their devices.
from my previous experience i notice two things could damage your device.
1- disconnect your device from the USB cable while upgrading
2- if you start upgarding without disabling the security PIN for the mobile if it was set on.
thanks with best regards.

hey yeah sure that fine...
to be totally honest with you....im still in the dark about what i did...
i did however have the pin on....so yes that might be a factor...
but i was loading it up and sunndenly it said "upgrade failed, reseting"
so....im still trying to find out myself......
as soon as i know what happened....i will update u

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.

error message
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

looks like it worked it logged onto the network straight away. ill keep an eye on it, and keep you updated.

Yes, the error message says " While upgrading you must disconnect your device from the power line."

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 ?

ROM update.... get me outta here!!

hi xda worldwide people,
i have updated my o2 xda with a Rom version 4.00.01 ENG and Radio Version 4.21.00, everything seemed to be working fine (finally i can even see the number of word i write in a sms...yahooo!!), BUT after a while of perfect functionning (to good to stay good...) I noticed that now i cannot acced anymore to the phone of the device. I cannot make any call!! :shock:
tried with a soft and full reset but dosent get any better..
:?:
help

I would try an upgrade to 4.00.11, and it that doesn't help you it's probably not the ROM but something wrong with the phone. You didn't mess with your Radio Stack did you?

...ops! tricky one!i hope not.is there any way that i can find out if there is anything wrong with my radio stack? by the way is there also an ftp or web address where i can download the upgrade you say?
This info forum is great!!

Phone side of my XDA has mind of its own. Please help!!!!

I have problems with the phone side of my XDA.
It keeps turning off by itself every 20 or so minutes.
I have upgraded to
ROM 4.21.00 ENG
Radio 4.21.00
Protocol 32S54
Still no changes. PDA worksfine but phone still turns off by itself.
Any sugestions please.
Thanks

what's your device type ... PW10A or B (rear sticker) ? and what's the band width of your network ?
also, does the phone work fine before turning off ?
did u upgrade the RSU or the ROM only and where/how did u do the upgrade ?

It's PD10A1 originaly on O2
The phone works fine while is on.
I upgraded via ActiveSync
First the ROM and than the RSU
Both upgrades successful
Did the same before the upgrade while using Developers special ROM.
I tried all diferent options in phone setup but no change.
Any Sugestions

this may or may not be help full but when I upgraded my radio stack on the o2 XDA 2 with the I-Mate Radio Stack, OS and Ex Rom it worked fine, however when I changed the Ex Rom with the O2 Ex Rom the phone stopped working.
The work around can be seen in this forum but I cant find it at the moment. Hope this helps?

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 :
