ROM upgrade in Australia

I just want WM2003 on my XDA. I tried installing 4.00.05 but got the white screen of death. Does anyone know if the Seimens SX56 ROM will work on my phone? I plan not to **** with the radio stack.
Just want a O/S that's newer and not as buggy as the original 3.21 that I had.
I miss my working XDA, it's been 2 long weeks and I finally get my MMC card back so I can flash.
Anyone in Australia got 4.00.05 working or WM2003? Which version you running if so?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

you didn't tell what's your device type and how the 4.00.05 failed.
I'm not sure the MMC can be used instead of SD card, but if yes, then i may advice you to cook a new 4.00.05 ROM at yorch.net and select the .nbf file method. move the file to your MMC card using the XDAtools and flash your xda through the boot loader.
good luck.

My device type was a:
PW10A
3.20.06 ENG (ROM)
3.21 (Radio)
But after trying to install with an EXE self installer became:
G32S54
4.00.05 (ROM)
R4.21.00 (Radio)
One thing I have worked out about the EXE self installers is that they will extract a NBF file to a directory, in C:\Program Files\Programme A\English
so therefore, whichever version you download in a self extracting file contains the NBF file that's required.

The Radio part shouldn't be affected by this upgrade!.

4.00.05 works just fine. The 4.01.00 and AT&T release ROM are even better (except for the stupid noise attenuation everyone's working to try and defeat).
Never(!) use the .exe method for upgrade, you have a much greater chance of it screwing your XDA. Also, according to your post you weren't messing with the radio, but by using the .exe upgrade you have inadvertantly upgraded the radio. 4.21 is the same version as O2 released for Australia, but I'm not quite sure if you're running the T-Mobile version now? As far as I know you can screw up upgrading your ROM as much as you like using the SD method because you can always whack the SD back in and start again, the bootloader is intact and the radio is intact.
I guess if you use the .exe update method from your manufacturer's release, at least you'll have some recourse in that you were only following what they said to do for the upgrade and they will probably fix it.
Use the SD upgrade method to fix your current problem, and you may need to use the Wallaby patch to do that. Good luck.

Best ROM for a QTek 1010 connected to Vodafone Australia
Howdy,
I have a QTek 1010 which I'm using in Australia on the Vodafone network. Which is the best ROM to upgrade my device to Pocket PC 2003?
Device: PW10A1
ROM version: 3.18.04 ENG
ROM date: 05/22/03
Radio version: 3.25.01
Protocl version: 32S54
Cheers,
CK

Use A.30.09, it's the only release version out there. All other versions are beta and have their problems. The only headache with A.30.09 is volume attenuation, but either soon we'll have a fix, or soon another manfucturer will make a release public so we can switch over (hopefully) without that annoyance.

Howdy,
Where can I get ROM A.30.09 from?

Thanks heaps for that! The upgrade worked perfect.
You were right about the volume issue becoming annoying! :twisted:

Which Radio Stack is the best to use in Australia?
Howdy,
Another quick question. Which Radio Stack is the better one to use? The QTek 1010 Radio Stack v3.25.01 (32S54) or the O2 XDA Radio Stack v4.21 (32S54)?

Upgrade works but only with 2002 ROM not with 2003 ROM

Have been to the kitchen and done some cooking the last night.
Facts:Using SD card for all upgrades
Never cook anything but the Base ROM itself (e.g. no extras)
The upgrade works perfect every time, meaning it ends successfully so that I can do a cold boot to start the "new" ROM image.
ROM version org: 3.16
Current ROM: 3.20.06 ENG
Radio version: 3.19.01
Protocol version: 32S54
Model No: PW10A1
RAM: 32MB
Flash size: 32MB
SD Card size: 64MB
I have been able to switch back and forth between different 2002 ROM's
but every time I upgrade to 2003 ROM the unit hangs on the introductions screen. I see the splash for instans 4.01.19: s "Welcome to T-Mobile"
In the bottom right corner I can see the Protocol version, ROM version and Radio version numbers. BUT there it is and it does not respond to any buttons or even magic words like pretty please with suger on top.
I have tried the following versions:
4.00.33 GER, 4.01.00 ENG, 4.01.16 ENG and A.30.09 ENG
I have no problem getting back to a working unit with almost any 2002 ROM but hey I wanna try it out with a 2003 ROM.
Any ideas anyone? I have been looking around quit a bit but cant see that anyone posted something that helps me out here.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this great forum!

not sure but maybe the 32MB ram is too little for 2003
these devices are pretty rare i think
maybe you should try doing a search for people with 32MB devices
and their exp with 2003 ?

The 32 MB shouldn't be the problem. Using myself a device with only 32 MB without any problems with WM2003 .....
Maybe it's a problem with the Radio Stack...
Nearly all the providers of a WM2003 Release included a Radio Stack Update. Myself i've tested it with the 4.21 and the 3.23. Maybe yours 3.19. is just too old.....
Stefan

Ok, here we go again,
found the Radio Stack Upgrade from O2 uk (V421)
and upgraded witout problem to this one.
No I tried to upgrade with 2003 ROM 4.01.16 ENG but still same thing.
It hangs on boot screen even though it now in the lower right corner says:
G32S54
R4.21.00
4.01.16
I will try to load ROM A.30.09 ENG now.
I let you know how it goes.
/Jonas

Still no luck
Ok I have now tried will all known 2003 ROMs from the kitchen with the same sad result. (hang on boot screen as before)
I now downloaded the official O2 uk release of upgrade for XDAII (Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe) when I unpack this one I find the following files that might be useful ms_.nbf, NK.nbf, Radio_.nbf.
When I try to write the NK.nbf to my SD card XDATools tells me that it does not recognize the file format.
I think I have seen something about this error but I cant find it now.
Im not even sure if this ROM will work. I can not see that this ROM is uploaded in the kitchen either but perhaps it will be?
So Im still stuck so any tips would be great and I keep testing new ways ahead.

hi. as LumpiStefan commended, you need to upgrade the latest radio stack. I think the radio stack 6.24 will work for you. check my posted for the radio stack.
Secondly, the radio stack will work it its specific OS rom image. for example, the radio stack for Tmoble , must match the Tmobile OS. you can not use radio stack built for O2 for Tmobile OS.
Therefore, try to upgrade with matching OS and its Radio Stack. I tried one night with all OS from Tmobile, ATT and OS to come with these solutions.

That´s wrong. 6.24 is for PW10B Models with 900/1900 MHz GSM. Do not use it on your device

That´s wrong too. Already used some T-Mobile ROMS with O2 Radiostack....
Stefan

hi LumpiStefan,
Okay. I am wrong. this radio stack use in USA.
Also, I don't know but I had tried to swap the radio stack O2 to run on Tmobile or ATT, the radio stack never turn On.
Also can you help me to have a radio stack version 4.20 or lower. ther repair.zip contain version 4.21. Thanks for correcting me.

Downgrade

Just upgraded to the new rtom, and now it's impossible to go back to my 1.6.7.1.
HELPPP!!!!! ...would be much appreciated

I understand your trouble.
First, download aWizard from the ftp site:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Misc/aWizard-V1_3beta2.zip
From within aWizard, enable RAPI, then run CID Unlock to be safe.
Then download this file:
ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
Run the program and it will downgrade your phone to the following:
ipl and spl: 1.01
gsm: 1.12.10
rom: 1.05.04.12
Once installed you can opt out of the extended rom by reseting after the initial setup. Use the wizard unlocking tool and soft reset. You can then delete and write new files to the extended rom if you like.
This rom works well if you do not need pushmail or run stereo bluetooth. At this point you may upgrade the rom and radio if you like.
Please be aware that the 2.07 radio rom found in the newer os rom does not succesfully mate with a 1.x os rom. I hope this helps.
Best,
DrBig74

Hi,
Even worse than it already is? Jeezus... :?
I cannot use because my ROM is a Greek one, and the new one lacks everything Greek until the Greek guys translate it by the end of the month. I was stupid enough to want to test it, without checking about downgrading first.
But I finally made it

the nba file could potentially be found on the ftp site...though i'm not sure...
I have the T-Mobile MDA (US) so before I did any editing I backed up the rom, splash, etc... using aWizard which generated the nba files for the ROM, Radio, splash, etc...

Radio??

When I Soft Reset my SPV M5000 is shows the normal setup and displays the Radio and ROM #'s. Well The ROM says 1.13.49 WWE but the Radio says 0.00.00 ?? My PPC still works but what does this mean I have no Radio?

Has buzz's unlocker ever been used on the phone? That sets the radio version to 0.00.00
Alan

flash it with radio 1.15 ?

I bought it from someone over the internet, so I have no idea of its history? I wanted to upgrade to wm6 but
wasnt sure if it was fully unlocked or had a damaged radio? Is there a way I can find out if it is fully unlocked
and ready for wm6?

What exactly does the Radio do?

Radio is responsible for the cellular part of your device.
Try flashing it with some radio rom and see if the situation changes

How to instal radio plugin?

Hello.
I want to install radio in my hima but i don't know how.

100% the same way as one flash the device with a new rom
just with a radio.nbf file in the dir with the flash tool rather then a
rom.nbf
if you dont have the flash tool all roms in the wm5 and wm6 forums for himalaya
include the flashtool and a step by step description how to flash
of cause if you dont want to flash the rom too
you need to remove the rom nbf

Thank you for your answer.
I have this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387451 but i don't find flash tool and my english is not so good,so please can you show me where i can find all what i need for doing that and where i find other rom for my husband hima.
I am a beginer but i have flashed my SPV 1000 yesterday.
Thank's.

Hello.
Nothing use radio?
Sorry but i'am a newbie and my english is bad.
I have flashed my hima with the rom up,i don't understand:
the radio is inside or i need to do another action?
If the radio is inside,how to use it?
Thank you.

if there were a radio nbf file then it was
and not sure if you are clear on what the radio is
the radio is the gsm radio which operate the phone part of the device
it's not an fm or am radio you can listen to
