Unlocking radio 4.20 - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

We currently have two clues which seem to indicate there may be a problem unlocking Radio 4.20. Specifically, there may be a problem with the %UREG command.
Please note that this is as of yet unconfirmed. However, we would at this point advise anyone upgrading to 4.20 to unlock before upgrading.
It would help if we had an RSU package for Radio 4.20, so we could look at the ROM and see what happened. Was Radio 4.20 part of any of the upgrades out there?
Also: I'd like to hear any and all stories concerning the use of The Manipulator on Radio 4.20.

Hi chaps
Thanks for this post! I was getting worried it was me sat here!
Can I be of assistance in some way with my 4.20 Radio XDA - can I offload and upload you a copy of the RSU info you require???
If so, let me know what to do and I am more than willing to help.
Regards
Rog

Sorry I hadn't logged in. The above post was from me.

My XDA came with Radio version 4.20.00 and ROM version 3.16.32 ENG
I will have an SD card soon so I can send any files from my XDA to you. As long as you tell me how to do this.
I would like to unlock mine and change the IMEI code on it as well but as i am not an experienced user i am not willing to try it first until it has been confirmed that this definately works with my ROM and Radio versions.

By the way
what is a RSU package??

RSU
I have the RSU for 4.20 if you would like it.

RSU is the Radio Stack Utility.....
The "Programm" that is needed for the Phone Functions.

The same problem seems to exist once the QTEK ROM/Radio upgrades have been installed on an XDA. The XDA is working perfectly, but XDA-Manipulator isn't accessing anything...it just reports errors.

can you still use hyperterminal to access the XDA and find the unlock code?

NO, hyperterminal and dualser command doesn't work.
We await progress! - Have the developers got hold of Radio 4.20 to play with yet I wonder??
Rog

Is there anyway to take the BIOS back to an earlier version?

Not unless you can get the existing commands to work.
Bit of a chicken and egg situation here! Without dualser UREG function you cant do anything. Therefore you cant get back to an earlier version either!
Rog

I have a couple of these phones with this version (4.20) on them, tried them all with Manipulator 1.02 but all wouldnt work, im willing to "test" any new methods of unlocking them, if anyone has any ideas let me know, i'll be glad to help

We have a 4.20 RSU, and thus we have the image.
We've held off looking at 4.20 specifically, and currently some precious spare time is being spent on looking at the way the RSU upgrade process works. This would, among other things, give anyone the ability to unlock without needing a serial cable. We've come a long way, but some work is still in progress. And people have less time than they'd like to have, and stuff.
You're all due a magnificent set of new tools (coming soon!), and some further explanations and documentation regarding the inner workings of the Radio Interface Layer (RIL), and more.
Stay tuned...

Talk about whetting the appetite!
We await with eager anticipation and an offer of help if you need it.
Rog

Is there any idea of release date to support the unlocking of the 4.20 Radio

ROM updates / whats new in them?

Hello i just upgraded my QTEK from ROM Version 3.14.06 ENG to ROM Version 3.16.13 ENG and from Radio Version T313 to Radio Version 3.19.01. Everything worked fine and the ROM and the RSU were upgraded with success but idnt find any deffrence the device is still the same as for the GPRS i was hopping that when the device goes to standby it wont disconnect. Any idea what are the changes in the new ROM i have installed and the bugs that were fixed. If there is new ROM updates then the one i got from qtek.dk where are theyand will they work on my QTEK 1010 32MB.
Thanks
<flames>
3.16.13 is CRAP
</flames>
)
use 3.15.15 + 4.16
Where can i get them from?
Thanks for your reply, but where can i find those updates and will they work after the current upgrade that i made. Finally will they work on the Qtek 1010.
Thanks
as I said... 3.16.43 is unofficial and I can't share it... 3.15.15 is out there somewhere (use the Search function )
Couldnt find it!
Hi again i can find the new ROM versions that you instructed me to use instead of the ones i download it. Can you provide me with a direct URL to download the 3.15.15 + 4.16 ROM and will they replace the 3.16.13 Version.
Please advise
Thanks

Interesting. Can you tell me which site you been to that you manage
to upgrade your qtek before?
Sure ,
a while ago you could have found it on www.qtek.dk but for an unkown reason they have removed its link from the main page now you can find here:
http://qtek.dk/software/
Enjoy
:wink:
be careful how you give information
Hi,
Please be very careful how you give out information.
You have screwed up I believe many people who got
their device frozen and cannot be used after trying to
upgrade the ROM and Radio Stack from the website
you provide without warning people of the serious
damage it could cause if the Rom & Radio Stack
upgrade is not from the same source.
It is good that you are trying to help people but I hope
you could continue doing it BUT please give a complete
and proper advise. Hope you get my message.
From
One of the victim
I expect people who buy this device to have a certain amount of IQ. Everybody knows flashing them IS dangerous, so they should know as much as possible on the item.
Before I flashed the device for the first time, I've already read EVERYTHING which is in the ROM Upgrade forum and everything which mentions ROM on this site. I knew which is the best, I knew where to get it, I knew I can screw it up and I knew how to NOT screw it.
It's peoples fault if they brick their units.
i dont know where to start with this but i should agree with Zviratko 100%
we expect people who buy this devices to have a certain amount of IQ and knowledge most of us here are pros.
Please understand that if you dont know what you are dealing with dont bother doing it. Read all the forums and pages of Xda-developers they contain the biggest archives about those products, learn then apply.
Zviratko is one of these important resources learn from him i know i did!

Re qtek 1010 rom update
could you please tell me where you got your rom update from. I have been tearing my hair off trying to get the right update. Some genius upgraded using the O2 upgrade and killed his QTEK.

Always on line for xda 1??

Any body knows for xda 1, you can keep checking new mail arrival through GPRS?
I heard people using xda 2 can do that. But is there any chance xda 1 can do the same thing?
Actually, when u do the setting for POP account, it ask u to set how many minutes to check for new messages. But it never work because the GPRS will close automatically.
Thanks very much. :?
Sure it can be done!
Take a look at:
http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgrade/0,,170,00.html
BTW the above is one of many!
also where are you located?
HTH
I am using the most updated PPC2002 version already. (3.20.06 ROM and 4.21 Radio)
Do u mean I have to upgrade to PPC2003?
I doubt that because they are not very stable for me to use in Hong Kong so far from other guy's comments in this website.
Thanks very much.

Since you're already running the latest upgrade its suppose to work but since it doesn't I would have to say that your always-on settings are at fault. So go to Start, Settings, Connections and make sure that its set to not disconnect.
HTH
Are you sure that it is also for xda1 ?
I can't locate that "not disconnect" setting.
Please clarify.
Thanks so much.

It should say some thing like this:
GPRS connection to remain active once the device enters power save mode.
At least it does on the PPC 2002 latest AT&T ROM and the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2. (which is bases on the O2 3.17.03 ROM).
HTH
That's really strange for my O2 xda!
I only found a setting called GPRS Suspend Mode setting.
It said,
When you are in power-saving mode, do you want to:
- Keep GPRS connection
- End GPRS connection
I clicked on the first one.
Then I close it, and connect to GPRS.
Just for a while, the connection ends by itself.
Any thought?
Thanks a lot again.
Yeap thats the correct setting and the same one I'm speaking of!
I read a lot of bad reports about the 4.21 radio stack so it might be at fault.
Maybe you should think about upgrading to the Qtec radio stack, heard nothing but good reports on that one.
The Qtek 1010 Radio Stack Upgrade can be found at:
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
BTW read the WARNING.
BTW do you have a URL for that newer o2 ROM, I'd like to install it and see if it does the same for me/
HTH
Here it is.
http://www.myxda.com/web/template/SoftwareUpgradeIntroduction.vm
BTW, I am a bit nervous to install the radio file cause I have bad experience that almost kill my phone.
Is it really okay just to install the radio file?

Unable to download, it kept asking for a IMEI.
You wouldn't happen to have the direct download link would you?
Oh! I didn't realize that...sorry.
I am still a bit nervous for upgrading (or is it actually downgrading) to the i-mat ROM.
If it is downgrading, I will definitely not try that...
Hi Qman,
I just notice that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM.
Also they have the 4.00.21 ROM (pre-release T-Mobile version). Is it for the US market only?
Chris
hi; Are you sure that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM??? Can't find it. I have downgraded my XDA yesterday from the kitchen wm2003 because of bugs to kitchen 2002 but it says 3.17.03 and not the one you mention???!!!
Hey,
That's not from the "kitchen". It's from the "upgrade" just under "kitchen". Check it out again and you will find it.
Anybody knows that 4.00.21 is good for o2 xda?
Chris
hmmm, currently I am using it
so far so good but there is one major BUT for me - most possibly that version makes wipe out my 256MB SD card every up to 48 hours
for me it is a major .... item
regards,
monika
That's terrible. What about the GPRS and phone reception?
To be honest, I won't use it if it will wipe off the sd contents every 2 days.
Have you tried to burn again?
so far GPRS is not working ....
but that is due local GSM provider that has some complicates setup as to make GPRS to work, phone recption is ok ... I am living in area where virtually all GSM phones had reception problems (i.e. majority of nokia phones), although in a city center it is perfect ....
just for you to know ... I have received a link from one of the group members for the most recent update - look there for details :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4556&highlight=4+01+00
regards, monika
Thanks very much for your reply.
But I think that Upgrade exe file is for US only cause that include the radio upgrade as well.
So, are you able to downgrade your 4.00.21 easily?
I am not sure whether its worth to downgrade your device to 3.20.06 to see whether its a real problem with SD card. And to upgrade it to 4.00.21 again to verify it. It may happen only at some occasion as you know electronic device can never guarrentee functioning 100%.
Hope you can fix your device.
Cheers

RSU 4.21 problem: stuck at boot splash

hi,
i have just downloaded the radio stack from O2 v4.21. I have tried to upgrade through active sync 3.71 it upgraded ok, but when i went to restart the XDA it gets stuck on the boot screen. the one that says test not for resale... and at the bottom right hand corner its says A.30.07 and then locks up.
normally before i tried to upgrade it said A.30.07 the underneath it said 4.20...
anybody know what i need to do to correct it?? i have looked through loads of forum posts and now i'am really confused???
Thanks alot
Zetex :?:
a bit of further info my Bootloader on my xda1 is 5.22
I'am also willing to pay for help i recieve to get my xda up and running again, because without it i really i'am stuck. I don't just use it as i gadget i use for everyday work/pleasure...
Thanks alot
Zetex
can anybody help me????
Hi,
No experts or semi-experts seem to be offering any help. I consider myself a fairly experienced novice so I am not sure how useful (or safe) my advice is. Take care! But here are my observations..........
You say the upgrade went OK? Does this mean you got as far as the message Flash Complete! Press OK to restart your device?
If so, this is encouraging as most of the problems I've located on this forum stopped part way through the upgrade (many at 1%).
Did you follow the instructions accompanying the upgrade to the letter? (ie. kill all running programs, switch off phone etc.)
The 4.21 upgrade is for the PW10A1 model not the PW10B1 (check the back of your xda's case to find out). Not sure how you deal with this one if yours is a PW10B1.
Can you enter bootloader mode? (soft reset with the stylus while holding the power button). If so, this is also good news. Someone with more experience than me could probably tell you what to do next. (Possibly flash a new ROM using the SD card method. Although you upgraded the Radio Stack it may have corrupted or upset your Radio Unit/'ROM'. If you decide to do this, I suggest something based on the v3.17 such as the XDA developers special edition ROM ..... you can always upgrade to WM2003 again later.).
Good Luck!
[/b][/u]
cranny,
Thanks alot for the reply m8, I did try what you have suggested by reloading the 3.17 o2 rom via sd card and now it won't even switch on anymore.
not to worry its gone off to the xda repaire center in Norwich today for repair under warranty.
Thanks for the reply anyway m8

WM2003

I was looking at the website for "Traffic-I". This is a subscription system for traffic info (and a sort of GPS ?)
The free trial refers to XDA2 not XDA1. I assume that is because the XDA2 has W2003 0n as standard?
Is it possible to upgrade my O/S to 2003. I'm not sure what version i have as i bought mine used.
Thanks

Yes you can do it my recommendation persists just on upgrading the RUU not the RSU, there's a lots of threads posting how to upgrade to WM2003, search, read more and learn
Thanks for the tips. I assume then that upgrading the RUU only, will allow all Wm2003 programs to work on my device. This upgrade is reversible if the threads regarding original back ups are followed?

Yes what you need is upgrading the RUU. It will allow all wm2003 to work on ur unit, thus you could back up as well your original default rom before installing the one that you'll cook
Ok thanks for that. I'l llook up how to back up old ROM first then get my oven gloves on and start cooking
Where Can I Download ROM WM2003
i try up grade to wm2003 T-Mobile 4.00.21 but i cant do cause i have Error message my machine use PW10A1, that version just for PW10B1..
So how can i get version for my machine??
Now i use :
ROM. 3.20.06
RS 4.01.
4.00.21 is very outdated ... try 4.01.16 and don't worry about the version as long as you do NOT touch the RSU part
Where ??
Where i can download ROM 4.01.16 have u or give me link

I've had to stop using my XDA for the moment. It's a great piece of kit but the incoming signal quality is quite poor (Compared to a normal mobile) I've missed several calls that have gone straight to my answerphone when i normally never miss any. There are some threads about signal quality but shouldnt this be built in from new as being totaly reliable. Any comments appreciated.
RSU flashing might help ... but it's VERY risky

Yes point taken on that!. To be quite honest the RUU part of the XDA (The programs etc) work really well and i'm not too bothered about any mods there. I'ts just that i use it for work and i can't really afford to miss calls and not being an expert in these things i find it hard to accept that the incoming signal quality is dependant on what sort of RUU software you have. :roll:
I suppose that as i'm not using it at all, and upgrading is risky but recoverable? and if it was out of action temporarily whilst a software failure was being put right then this would not be a problem for me. What i would worry about is if it all went belly up would i be able to get help on restoring it back to it's former glory?
Doug
recovering failed RSU flashing is a very tough process, and might not work as well ... you have to be very careful.
As a matter of fact, I 've done many RSU flashing before and all went OK ... but I know about many horrible stories about dead devices that can't be repaired except by h/w replacement.
If you can't really use it, it's ok to go for RSU flashing but pick the right RSU upgrade ... and stay away from O2 RSU 4.21
OK Biso007 i think you have convinced me. I think i will reluctantly sell the XDA (Someone will get a bargain as it has TT3 and maps on it) and wait a little while and see what else comes up.
Cheers
Doug

I have just killed my xda orbit, HELP Please!!!!!!

Hi,
I am new to this updating pocket pc lark and think i may have ruined my xda orbit. I have been following instructions from within the site and found a few downloads for updated roms and downloaded the "PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe" and ran it to update my xda orbit. now when the device reboots it stays on the first screen which states:
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
Does anyone know how i can fix this?? and please can i have step by step detailed instructions???
god i feel like such an idiot!!
You and many others.
Its not broken - it requires either unlocking and reloading by IMEI-CHECK for 47 quid or wait for the promised O2 WM6 update ROM that hopefully can be used to reflash the OS on to your XDA, the same tools that you used to get yourself in this mess may also get you out of it - i've done exactly the same thing myself.
Or try it on with O2 and see if they will replace it, just say it locked up and when you rebooted it appears that the OS is corrupt/missing.
Cheers,
Steve.

Well you are an idiot - you did not read the first post in the forum - read it and it will tell you what to do.
do you know where i can get the original os from and how i can get it back on my device as my device doesn't appear to connect to my computer anymore.

Ignore the 'clever', retrospective criticism, from people who will claim that they've never done something similar...
The word is that O2 are due to release an upgrade rom soon, it may be the solution or may just be an upgrade that requires the phone to have a good OS on it already in which case you may need to contact IMEI-CHECK who can do it for under 50 quid.
It's a pity really - if the smart arses here could provide answers as quickly as they can criticism who knows there may be a solution available all ready, after all isn't that what this forum is for?
Just an idea, seeing as though the 'CID unlocking Warning' sticky appeared after dozens of people had made the same mistake, maybe next time the mods could put it up at the time and not after the event? possibly not the case here but it would have saved a shed load of your other members a major headache.
Cheers,
Ste.
