Hi all. I appologize for starting a new thread, but I wasn't sure which topic to post under as this problem seems to span a few. In short, here's my problem: I'm trying to upgrade my Tmobile UK MDA Vario to 2.26.10.2 from 1.6.2.4 WWE. I'm using the stock Tmobile USA ROM updater available from the tmobileapps site.
When I run the upgrade file I get a failure with an Error 294 - Invalid Vender ID. While I don't understand why UK and USA would have different locks, I figured fine, I'll use lokiwiz to unlock my phone.
I've tried lokiwiz 0.2b to unlock the CID, but I get the itsutils.dll error (that it can't update the file).
So now I'm stuck. I can't upgrade the ROM using the US ROM, and I can't seem to CID unlock the phone to allow me to use another ROM. The official UK ROM is sitting a few versions back, and I don't want to have to upgrade twice, so that's out (unless someone can point me to a site where I can get the newer UK ROM).
Anyone know what I should try? I'm kinda stumped. The only think I can think of is that I'm only activesynced to this computer as a Guest, not as a real activesync pairing. Could that effect either the ROM upgrade or the unlocker?
For reference, here's more info about my phone:
IPL 1.06
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.6.2.4
Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
Did u install the EnableRAPI CAB in your phone before starting lokiwiz?
Also, i remember that i had to run lokiwiz 0.2b twice to unlock my phone and my friend's one.
So try this: soft reset the phone, install enableRapi.cab, run lokiwiz and then run it again.
Good luck!
bye!
Yup, that was it. I thought I only needed the EnableRAPI CAB if I was SIM unlocking. Silly me.
Thank you!
I have a fairly new TyTN, but it suddenly stopped working, freezing randomly and at short intervals.
I decided to send it in for repairs, but I havent been able to find the receipt, and even though I have the box and the warranty, I can do nothing without the receipt.
So I found the pages, and have tried several updates.
First I did the Hard spl to 2.1.0 olipro, and it went well.
Now the phone was with the three colored stripes, and unable to do anything at all (though quite stable ;-) )
I then tried several different updates, (RUU) but none came all the way, the best did 13% and froze (RUU_Hermes_QTEK_DAN_2.11.253.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe)
I tried several radio only updates, but none got anywhere, all stopped with errors 262 or communications failure.
I was then able to do the update to Mobile 6 black (Pro_Black_3.0.1) and have a complete, working system, but without the radio !
Any attempt to update the radio since, has resulted in a bricked device, with the 3 color screen.
If i place the "soft slp) file on the device when its with windows mobile 6 and connected, the activating the .exe will immediately place the device in the 3 color screen brick mode, and I cannot update the radio from there either.
Can anybody help ?
I'd hate to believe that I now have a fully working PDA, but no phone !

Did you follow the MrVanx guides?
Mike
You should try reading through this thread. Its quite lengthy so I would probably search for "error 262". Also, check out the wiki here and here Once you find out which type of brick you have (sounds like type 2), there are some steps to unbrick it. Good Luck!
To Mike:
Yes, I started out with the Mr.Vanx guide, but got stuck with the radio updating, it never got past the 0% mark.
To Peezy
I have done alle the threads, and all the different ways of updating, including through sspl.
I have not been able to figure out exactly what Radio bootloader i have, but I seem to have SuperCid, IPL-1.01, SPL-1.40.0lipro.
Its a HERM200 (TyTN) and the short of it seems to be, that I can easily do upgrades as long as they don't include radio.
Reading from the threads, I get the impression that I cannot update the radio in any way at all, if it's bootloader version >=1.09
Is that correct ?
- can you inform me how to read the radio bootloader version ?
In sspl mode I can conect with the mtty.exe tool, and send commands.
The set 14 0 command does not seem to work though, if I'm stuck in three color mode I can only get out by running an ruu without radio (I currently use the Pro black version)
This will get me the OS, but any radio updating still fails.
If for some reason it's not possible to update/fix the radio, will I be able to do it through any paid service ?
radio?
What is this thread about? I have the same phone but it does not have a radio.
What are you talking about?

Firstly install HardSPL v7
Then install the latest Radio and see if it works.

What version of SPL do you currently have? You said initially that you upgraded to 2.10Oli, but then you say that your bootloader screen shows 1.40.oli. It looks like when you initially upgraded your HardSpl, it didnt work, because your BL is showing 1.4.

Because I'm feeling sorry for you and for the edification of the innocent:
All phones have "radios" to transmit/receive signals over networks. This is not a radio in the commonly accepted sense of a device for listening to broadcast radio programmes. Hermes does not have as some phones have, an FM/AM radio built in.
Mike
I did the mar Vanxz updates, to the point where the radio update failed.
That left med with olipro 2.1.0
Then, after having tried several diferent hnhreads, I am at this point, having 1.40
Will it make any diference if I update with hardspl7 to 210 olipro again ?
Im not sure which radio you tried, but you should be able to get some answers here.
You can also use mtty to check your radio BL version here.
Hope that helps.
lets start from the beginning, update to HardSPL 7 (2.10.olipro)
Now when you try to install the radio update make sure you select SPL 2.10 and tick "is it hardspl?".
try that
Okay here we go:
I have done the HardSPL v7 to 2.10 Olipro again, no problems there.
I have previously tried 4 different versions of the radio only updates, with and without soft sspl, but none get past the 0% mark.
I just gave it another go, and still no luck.
Still stuck at 0%, and ends with "upgrade error 262"
I now have spl 2.10 Olipro, and no radio.
I have tried several times to get into radio comm mode with the mtty.exe tool, using the commands descibed at the link.
None work !
All radio comm commands result in a "command error!!!" response from the tool.
This is both using softspl bootloader mode, and the normal bootloader, and it includes the commands "rtask a" and "rtask b" all give error results.
I can do other commands without errors.
One interresting detail: when trying to update radio it says: "updating from image:3.29.707.4"
If I go to os sysinfo, there's no radio version listed at all.

Where did you download the radio from? Try one of these:
1.41.00.10
1.40.30.00
1.38.30.00
these have the RUU necessary to detect HardSPL v7 (if you followed the guide it does link to the top one of these).
Which radio is it you are trying??
Also when this error first began to occur was it AFTER or BEFORE you installed HardSPL?
I have tried al of those.
None work..
looks like abricked device then unfortunatly.
Did you run HardSPL before trying the radio upgrade?
Yes.
Do you mean that I have no options at all, to recover the radio ?
It doesnt sound good dude, refer to the unbricking thread as all cases of bricking should be reported there.
Okay - an expensive pda it is then.
Thank you all for your effort.
Well.. i have the same problem as u, except i can call people, just can't update the radio. I am using the X01HT White!
Im trying to load a custom rom onto my XV6900. I got everything together and went a head but ran into an issue. I'll start with all the phones history. I got it and then when the update to 6.1 leaked I installed that. Now just recently I started by following this tutorial http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html. I completed everything up until install upgraded radio with no problems. Then on this step I kept having an issue where it would flash loding but then just go to the boot screen and not do anything. After playing with it for a while I figured maybe the 6.1 update took care of this so I moved on. I got the same problem with the next step which after a little bit I figured out was because I wasnt formatting the card correctly. So then I started the ROM flash with no problem. It loaded and the progress bar completely filled up quickly. The issue is now it is just stuck saying update in progress and has been for about 20 min. Im not sure if its because I didnt do the radio update or if its somthing else. I figured before I do anything I would see what people suggest I should do next. Should I soft reset? Do you think its bricked now or will I be able to try another flash? Please let me know where to go from here. Oh and also the rom im trying to flash is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487

Ok, just try and download nfsfan's 6.5 rom, put you phone in bootloader mode, (power,camera, softreset) The colored icoke screen should come up. Connect your phone to your computer with your usb cabe, on the bottom of the screen it will say usb connected (or something like that). Than just run RomUpdateUtility in the zip file you downloaded with the rom. It will connect to your phone and update it. After it's done, before it loads into windows perform a hard reset (send key, end key, and softreset). Once it's doing restoring again, allow it to boot up.
Should be okay after that. I've done several of them with no issue. Sometimes in rare cases you need to flash the latest bell rom first, and than update to nfsfan's 6.5 after that. Don't worry it won't 'relock' your phone.
Good luck
Ok here is an update on the phone. I tried installing the radio update but it froze on cdma. So then I grabed the verizon 6.1 update and reflashed it. So now im back to square one. What steps should I follow from wm 6.1 to a custom rom? Do I need to do the radio update or is the Rev A. included in the 6.1 update enough? If I need to do the radio update how would I go about that? Then is there a better process to follow for the ROM install?

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you simply want to flash a custom ROM or do you want to unlock the GPS too? If you are trying to unlock the GPS then this tutorial may not help you. http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html
I assume that your phone is already unlocked with 2.31. Once your phone is unlocked all you need to do is flash your custom ROM. This is unless you want to unlock the GPS. I would not worry about upgrading your radio just to upgrade it as there probably no benefit. I wouldn’t do it unless you knew of someone in your area that had success with better signal.
If you want to unlock your GPS I would follow this tutorial. As people have had success.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
[1] Unlock with 0.40.coke
[2] Flash Sprint ROM RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[3] Unlock with 2.31.coke
[4] Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[5] Flash any custom rom
[6] Skip
I would recommend using NFSFAN’s ROM. The above procedure should allow you to use your GPS with TomTom, Garmin, & such.
do the tutorial above for gps.
and if you need more info or want stuff to customize it, go to my faq,
but the above walkthrough is the one you want if you plan to use gps.
Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to use Android on the HD2 without the special ROM version it needs. During a reboot my device shows:
R 2.07.51.22~2
G 15.32.50.07U
D 1.72.86526
A reset with the volume down key being pressed shows "SPL 1.66.0000".
Thank you
Hi,
that´s a fine question. My device shows the same.
Can annybody tell us something about this topic?
Thanks
You can try andriod without any rom changes, just download it, extract to SD card & run (per instructions). It should work, in general, but you'll most likely get the common issues, like "robot voice".
Try some builds & see how they work for you.
Today I tried out "HyperDroidV1.2" but i get one of the known problems!
I don´t want to change the radiorom because of my warranty.
Every thread I looked up say, that you lost the warrenty if you try HSPL and a other RadioRom.
I'm afraid to make my phone unusable.
Thanks for your answer!
Without the right Radio ROM, Android will stop booting at the "init screen" (or "init panel"?) line and the display will fade to black.

Be careful!!
I tried the FroyoSense V2 on my stock HD2, and my WM locked up totally. No 3'rd part progs would run, could not install anything. The phone was more or less useless. So backup your phone before even trying to run Android.
well you need at least 2.08 radio. i have exact same stock rom, but you need to hspl and upgrade your radio.
Why are you hesitant to flash a new radio? It is super simple to do and it is reversible. If I were you I'd go to radio 2.12. You can also flash a custom WM Rom with built in android boot manager.
My understanding is that Andriod only works with the R 2.**.50.** radio. I think these are the US radios. Any .51 radio are for EUR/AUS and will not work with Android.
I have a Telstra HD2 with 2.09.51.03 and have to flash 2.10.50.08 inorder to work with Android.
I believe unless you have a TMobile HD2, it is quite safe to use any radio rom and the flashing process is very straight forward indeed.
Just a quick question. I hope lol. I have recently been noticing some serious issues with lack of mobile signal on my T-Mobile HD2 US. I am running Tytung CM7 2.3.7. My signal just goes away intermittently and the red X appears above the signal bars and flashes while it searches for a signal. After a minute or so it comes back. I am having this issue in areas where I've never had these kinds of issues before for about 2 weeks now. Is this possibly radio related? A friend of mine my "flashing" mentor told me it could be. So I am wondering, 1) How can I determine what radio I currently have? 2) Is it fairly easy to flash a radio for someone who is an experienced flasher? 3) Will I need to re-flash my rom or will it erase anything that will need to be "fixed"? 4) Where can I find a tutorial or thread with radios that I could use? Thanks immensely for any help !
you can see it, go to Settings-About phone-Software-More-baseband version, it seems like ......2.15.50.14
if it is 2.15.50.14, there isn't any problem.
then maybe you have another problem like sim, network or rom.
Yes you can install if it is not 2.15.50.14. your phone must done X.XX.HSPL firstly. and then you can install radio rom.
if you want to flash, you need to do it with assistance. because, if you are new, you can face of some issues.
I would think it's probably radio-related, yes. What powerofthink says about 2.15.50 being the best is not necessarily true, it varies from phone to phone and area to area. For most people 2.15 works best, but sometimes others are better. Just make sure you NEVER flash a .51 radio, as you have a TMOUS phone this WILL brick it. Here are the answers to your questions in order:
1. Either do what powerofthink said or reboot your phone, at which point 3 lines of text will appear in the bottom right corner (before MAGLDR). The line next to the R is the radio version.
2. I think it's essentially the same as flashing a Wm6.5 ROM so probably fairly easy yeah.
3. I don't know sorry. I would guess at no (50% chance of being right ) but always make a backup just in case.
4. Master radio thread which includes a guide.
phone fc
im using radio 2.15.50.14 with leo king 2.2 ics, i sometime get phone fc and after that i get no signals and then my phone tells me no sim inserted and then i have to restart. Could this be rom related or i should try another radio? i had the same thing happened to me on paranoid android rom and nexushd2 ics
