I've just screwed up my iPDA's radio stack by upgrading it to 4.21.00 (O2 upgrade). :?
I really need someone to help me getting out of this mess! Does anyone owns a Bouygues iPDA with the original radio stack ROM and who can gently pass it on?
Merci les Frenchies...

Hi,
You got problem with the 4.21.00 O2 upgrade ?
Why would you re-flash your XDA with the old originial Bouygues rom ?
Rather put a kitchened Rom from Jeff site (a WM2003 based rom or a 3.17.03 based rom as well)
It works great on my Bouygues Ipda ...
Frenchies a la rescousse :wink:

Thank U for your answer zendrui!
Yes I got a problem with the 4.21.00 RSU... I don't any signal at all...
My previous Radio version had a weird numering: R3... something instead of the usual "4.xx.xx"... Do you think there could be several hardware design of the iPDA?
By the way if someone has the original Bouygues RSU, please let me know!

You know what...
I found the solution to my problem by myself...!
For those who encountered the same issue:
1. Bootload the PDA (hold "On/Off" button and soft reset)
2. Enter the GSM module test menu by pushing the Calendar button
3. In the menu, select this sequence:
- GSM TURN ON
- GSM RESET
- GSM 900 / 1800
In fact the RSU upgrade will kind of resetup the GSM module (or turn it off), which is apparently not suitable for the French network. So one has to set the GSM module with the right parameters...
I guess this is applicable to other countries as well.
I am so happy! :lol:
Hey in the menu I noticed options "GSM 1900" along with "GSM 900" and "GSM 1800"... Do you think the XDA is actually TRI-BAND?

Well pleased for you if it works.
Personnally I put a WM2003 4.00.05 rom and it works well.
I also saved the original rom form bouygue if needed (but it is really a too old rom)

ROM 4.00.01 and DualBandGSM ?

I have just ugraded my Qtek ROM to vers. 4.00.01 (pocketPC2003) and the RSU4.21.
BUT since then I cannot see my mobile carrier anymore Orange CH (switzerland), but all the others...
Could that come from the new soft not supporting dualbandGSM 1800 ?? or naything else.
Thanks for you help !!!!
PS CAN I DOWNGRADE MY ROM TO 3.17 FROM THE O2 web site??
i believe that the current 4.00.01 is with the US radiostack
leaving your phone at 900/1900 and not 900/1800 which is the EU std
European XDA/MDA with Radio Update
Same here in Germany. First I upgraded my TMO (Germany) MDA to ROM 4.00.10 without the radio upgrade. It worked (and still works ) very well with the old (by only supported :? ) radio V3.23.00 protocol 32S54. The only thing I noticed is: the carrier (T-Mobile Germany) is not displayed (in the Today screen) and the connection bar graph is changing very often from "good" to "worse". :shock:
After this success I upgraded also the radio unit, but I better have not done that! No (neither 900 or 1800) carrier is detected by the phone anymore I tried a lot in the bootloader but nothing helped me
So I downgraded the radio to 3.23.00 with the RSU utility which is downloadable from TMO Germany. And everything is okay again

Radio Stack 3.17 FR
Seems the same problem... but luky you are, as I don't have the older RSU available...
Does anybody know where I could find the RSU 3.16 or 3.17 FR ??
Thanks in advance,
I don't know if it works but why aren't you flashing the RSU with the one from the english o2.co.uk site ore the german one? Isn't there a support page for your french xda? (From witch provider was the xda sold? AFAIK orange has its own new SPV)
The English rsu seems to be ver 4.21 and is located here http://www.o2.co.uk/personal/xda/docs/Radio_Stack_Upgrade_v421.zip
The German RSU is also V4.21 but I don't have a direct link. Just click http://www.o2online.de/o2/business/datenloesungen/xda/downloads/index.html and go ahead.
The RUU seems to have the version 3.17 (UK) or 3.19 (Germany)
Look here http://xda-developers.com/rom/ RSU-> the "Phone BIOS" and RUU->"The PDA sw" So I think the RSU is not written in a specific language but only for a special region (US and Europe). But the RUU is.
HTH, Chris
problem solved
I actually could solve the problem by going in the bootloader and switch to DualBand GSM 900/1800. BUT then you CANNOT go in the BAND menu or it automatically switch you back into 900 ...

QTEK and 2003

I cannot find a good 2003 for my QTEK. I tried the 4.00.5, 4.00.10, 4.00.11 and 4.00.16 on my QTEK, and had the SD Card erasure problem with one of them, and with others after a few hours, radio buttons and checkboxes on dialog disappear.
Anyone can help ?
Just out of curiosity what radio stack are you running?
I use radio 3.19.01.
I used to have to radio dead signal, and I broke my screen. when the device returned from repair (EUR 140, incl taxes), I had this version on it, and I have no more problem since then
Take care (of your device!).
Hi ..
How did u manage the upgrade ... EXE file or SD and boot loader ??
I couldn't do it with the EXE method till now, and have no budget for SD and reader
I also have the QTek 1010, rom 3.18.04, radio 3.23.01. Im also keen on upgrading to 2003. Would like to know which version to use and should I upgrade my radiostack to any specific version, eg. o2's 4.21?.

I use the SD card method. Fortunately, I made a Backup of my rom on a sd before, and a backup of all the content, so I've been able to rollback to 3.16.13 with no problem.

I read alot about avoiding playing with the Radio stack and specialu with the 4.21 one since you can't roll it back. may be you should check with your local providor.

How can I restore my system to the original states

Hello,
I know that I should'nt have do that, but I need your help.
I upgrade my MDA on the following state :
Rom : 4.01.16 Eng
RSU : 4.21.00
For buisness reson I have to go back to the original state.
Rom : 3.18.01 ENG
RSU : 3.23.00
Unfortunatly I didn't do a Backup
I have acces to some MDA with the originale rom and rsu
My question is how to go back to the originale state, without destroying the other mda with the originale rom? via bootloader?
Thanks in advance
The ROM part is easy, you can get the original 3.18 ENG from the carrier devices site http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific
The RSU might be your nightmare especially that you have 4.21 which showed to be the pain for most people here ... anyway, in the same site you will find RSU 3.25 for Qtek ... it's almost the same as 3.23.
Good luck
Biso007 Thanks for you answer,
I look at your link but it seems to be the Qteck version, I really need the officiale t-mobile version.
Is there any way to save the originale one in one of the other phone that I have access and restore to my one?
Biso: Is the rom found in http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific WM2003? What radio version it contain? Is it compatible with PW10B1 device?
I'm now running T-Mobile ROM 4.01.16 ENG, Radio 6.25.02. I'm plannning to change the Radio to be compatible with Asia-Pacific and in the US (I've been going to Asia and back to the States for business, so I want a device compatible with both Asia-Pacific and US). Thanks
ok I Download the old version on a new phone via OSimagetool to my sd card and put it on my device. working perfectly.
So now I just have to downgrade the radio stack to 3.23.00, where I can find it and how to downgrade?
I download the file here
http://www.t-mobile.at/business/mobiles_arbeiten/MDA/SWupdates/
Looks like it's working, (at least I have the right number at startup)
the only problems that I had it's that rhe rsupgrade was lauch every time I startup, I had to delete the file rsupgrade on startup folder. now it's working like before.
Thanks a lot.
By the way, does it exist a solution in mda to copy contact name to the sim card?

No, it's PPC2002 and the RSU is 3.25 for PW10A devices (900/1800). I know it coz it was on my device before I replace the mother board with a B-type one.
If you are going to use 900 MHs network in Asia you can keep your current RSU ... I have it on my device and my network is 900/1800 ... other than this you better use 2 phones or get a new XDA II

Dealing with the SIM book is a matter of s/w and the device type (XDA or MDA or ... ) has nothing to do with it. You can find many freeware s/w to deal with the SIM entries.
ok thanks a lot, do you just have the name of one of this freeware?
try this http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=7496
don't work for me

WM6 Losting Radio Signal

Every time when I reset my BA, when the BA starts the signal is lost. If I open the Phone Settings/Network and I find for network a error message is showed. I need to do a hard reset to the signal back. I´m using WM6. If I upgrade my radio to the last version find here (1.15) this problem will be solved? I´m in Brazil using TIM. Tks,
you can try and tell us
which radio version do you use?
I´m using now 1.13.
I´ll try install radio 1.15 .
Tks,
Same problem...
Hi Daniel.. I have the same problem.
My radio version is 1.06 (yes...it's older...).
I live in Brazil too...
Sim, tambem sou brasileiro, meu chip é da claro.
Até agora tá um porre pra reconhecer o chip.
Migrei pra wm6 ontem e vou tentar a versao 1.50.
Qualquer coisa, é só falar, de repente podemos trocar umas figurinhas.
Abraço.

SX66 with the same problems in BRAZIL
I'm having this same problem in Brazil.
One interesting thing I found out is that when my SX66 is powered via cradle and I soft-reset it, it finds the TIM (1800 mhz) signal.
If I soft-reset using only the battery, it sometimes finds the signal, but most of the time it finds the VIVO (850 mhz) signal only.
I had the same problem with the WM5, so I was using WM3.
Regards.
I'm using Radio V.1.12
So far so good

I'm Live in Indonesia Bro
using 1.15 for long time now... but the problem is there...
sometimes the phone goes into searching.... mode and does not connect back to the network.
earlier switching off/on radio worked fine..
but with the comm manager ... i can switch off phone but can not turn it back...
have to perform a soft reset...
I am having the same problem too. Using 1.12 radio. Tried 1.13 and 1.15, there are bad.
Few times a day I still have the problem where phone cannot wake up to receive phone calls or failed to make outgoing calls.
I believe it is not the signal issue, something to do with phone apps to constantly wake up for calls.
Hi Brazilians members..
I'm brazilian too.. and i upgraded my BA to WM6 at last week.. my version of radio is 1.13.00 and my operator is Oi, and i'm not passing for this problem.
If I can help you... SCREAAAMM... rs,rs,
Bye
