Odd device (ROM) info

HI
I've had my o2 xda2 since it came out in the UK Nov 2003 and I haven't reflashed the ROM or done any thing like that. I even got O2 to network unlatch it for me. (This was before the unlock tool) I was surprised to see the following device info when i did a soft reset.
ROM version 1.03.00 USA
ROM date 09/24/03
Radio Version 1.05.12
Protocol version 1337.12
the bit that surprised me was USA in the ROM version.
I've been in Toronto since May 04 on Fido has my ROM been upgraded without my knowledge over the air/or when I use my wifi card or is this a really old rom as i got one of the first xda2's that came out in the UK.
Should I upgrade the rom with o2 latest update?? or use a different ROM
The XDA locks up rarely, the only problem is when you go out of signal range (ie on the underground subway) the xda2 sometime can't lock back onto the network and so a soft reset is needed.
I look forward to your pearls of wisdom.

Please Help, my Blue Angel Phone died.

Hi all,
First of all I want to thank you for your time.
I bought a Blue Angel device from a friend of mine but unfortunately I'm not so sure who made it.
It does have the bluetooth, camera on the back, wireless wifi, etc.
About a week ago, the phone function died. I verified that it wasn't the GSM card because when I moved the GSM (Cingular) to a different cell phone, it does work.
I then found out that from the device information, I only saw the ROM version, ROM date and ExtROM version BUT the Radio version and the Protocol version are blank.
I am attaching the devicedata.txt.
With that in mind, I have tried to upgrade the ROM and the Radio. I'm currently running the O2 ROM with the following information:
1. ROM version 1.12.62 WWE
2. ROM date: 10/04/04
3. Radio version: Blank
4. Protocol version: Blank
5. ExtROM version: 1.12.178 WWE.
When I tried to upload the Radio ROM, it seems to upload it, no error messages but still the radio version information is blank and my Blue Angel is still not recognizing as if the radio is off.
I tried to upload other ROM, like Imate PDA2k, Siemens SX66, etc but I couldn't because sometimes it kept complaining about country id or language id not correct.
I really appreciate any helps, inputs on this matter. I'm kind of dead on the water without my phone...
Thank you so very much,
Tambeng

Upgrade everything, not just the radio rom, you have a really old stuff running there...

Download upgrade from. clubimate.com and install it. But only of you have PDA2K.

I did try upgrade it to the following:

5. ExtROM version: 1.12.178 WWE.
But after the upgrade the Radio version and the Protocol version went blank again.
Do you think the fact that the radio version is blank is the cause of my phone to die?
Has anyone else since this issue before?
Thanks,
Tambeng

I tried to download but it says about the model is not correct.
btw: what does it mean by a ROM that says cooked?
Thanks,
Tambeng

No, no. Try to download from official website. What is your PDA call? It must be says some where on it.

It means that somebody made it by himself - not official. People take different parts from different ROMs and put them together into one ROM. You don't need things like this right now.

Very possible. What is wrong with your phone exactly? It's searching for signal or......?

It's actually really interesting that it didn't have any brand at all on it.
It just says, PocketPC on the top right corner. Can I identify the maker from the IMEA? I can share the IMEA number.
As for the phone, it doesn't even search for a signal at all. It just have the exclamation mark, like "!".
Thanks for your help,

I've been using radio: 1.06.00 since Tuesday or Wednesday without problems. Hasn't fixed nor broken anything as far as I can see.
Radio 1.06.00 was issued as part of the recent German MDA update.

[No message]

Yes, ist working, had to do the update several times, like 10x, before it was installed, soft reset ......and.....IT'S ALIVE
thanks

Thanks, ncruz! the radio upgrade on my MDA Pro worked flawlessly on the first attempt. My device information now shows:
ROM version: 1.13.69 WWE
ROM date: 10/12/05
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.162 WWE
I was hoping the radio would solve a couple of issues I've mentioned on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38876
but, unfortunately the wireless manager and bluetooth issues still persist.

Hi,
Removed SD and SIM cards.
However, as with my all Universal previous ROM upgrades (only Radio till now), I got several errors (114; 150;...) till succed. About 15 and long attempts.
Did you experience a similar problem?
Could it be related with device bootloader version (mine is v1.00). Does someone has a newer one?
Between some attempts and errors, I need to 'soft reset' or 'cold boot' in order to get a different error, and finally a succesfull attempt.
I've a Qtek 9000 with a TMN SIM (Portugal) and it works fine after upgrade.
Just in case, I want to give up in future similar operations, does someone knows how to get rid of the bootloader? Does an Hard Reset resolves? Is there any other way?
Error 114: Radio ROM update error
Error 150: ROM upgrade utility error

I "up?"graded to radio 1.06.
I found it in some conditions slower than 1.04.10, and when I use NovosecSmartFilter, it freezes when a call comes althogh it worked with the previous radio ROM.
Just for you to know...

I've noticed 2 times now (with hard resets between) that sometimes when I receive a call, my Contacts open and I can't close them. I can click the Start menu and run another app but then Contacts is brought to the front again. After enough clicking to close Contacts, the upper right corner quickly alternates between "OK" and "X" and I end up having to soft reset.
One thing that I did do differently is that I performed a soft reset prior to O2's extRom installation. Are there any 'fixes' in their extRom that I might need to manually install?
I'm thinking about going back down to 1.04.00 as I didn't have this problem prior. But I'd rather not downgrade.

I'm down?grading to 1.04.10 now....

It's looking for a serial (not available on Universal) or USB connection, so you'll need to connect to "ActiveStink" via USB cable. The "Serial" will normally change to "USB" when you plug USB in.
Unfortunately, I've never tried it with an *un-partnered* device stuck in bootloader mode - hopefully somebody else has.

You have to instal complte original ROM, the one that came with the phone,
just conect the phone with usb, start upgrading your phone, and wait for 20 minuts to be done
thats how I manage to fix mine 8)

I Removed the Radio 1.06.00!
I had a lot of problems with Messagin. I losed all my internet account/Configuration, my SMS ....
It was a problem with the Radio 1.06.00"

Caller ID

I have a problem with my BA, the name not showing up on my screen along with the number when a call comes in.
Will be waiting for the best solution for it....

only views, no replies
WAKE UP GUYS!

what version roms are you using and have you changed any software since the last time caller id worked

yeah!
before it was windows 2003, later on upgraded to windows mobile 2005. Device information is:
ROM version: 5.03.02 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: -
moreover, my wifi was working before. Now only showing the wireless icon but not starting up. I guess, maybe a driver problem. Please, help me out with this as well

You've probably got the caller's number in your address book twice, so it doesn't know which contact to display?

nope!
nothing is like that afterall, i am also a bit genius actually any other idea regarding wifi, i guess i need a suitable wireless driver for my version. What you guys think

well...first of all...you should upgrade the radio to 1.15.00...pro secundo...there is a fix for caller id on ftp (anyway newest Helmi rom handles with this issue)...then discuss it again...

i think i had the same prob with wifi not sure about caller id ,didnt get any calls and the gps would'nt connect (bluetooth).i looked through the site and upgraded further last friday, (cant find link now will post if i find it)
mine is a 2yr old 02 xda iis PH20b was 2003 now wm5
operator version AKU2.6
ROM version: 5.04.06 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: Helmi v1.1
caller id , wifi & bluetooth all work fine
(added) the only thing i cant seem to set is the lock-out, on 2003 i could set it so after a set time it would log out so the password had to be entered,at the moment i only need the password after a soft reset,

WM6: Problem with recieving incoming calls

Since I installed WM6 I can´t recieve incoming calls. The phone lights up but nothing more, and when I click on the reception or phone symbol when it lights up it says "no service" (translated from Swedish).
It was also some problems with Active Sync 4.5 since I upgraded, but those problems might just be because I needed to reinstall it.
Does anybody please know how to fix this, otherwise tomorrow it will go to the repair-shop and I will lose 12 days and the order in my life. : (
The sim-card works on another phone and it worked with WM5, and I have tried hard reset and a reinstall of WM6, but the problem persists.
/Danne

Hi,
Did you try to install an offoicial version of WM6 or one of the cooked ones of this board? If the latter did you take all the necessary precautions first eg installing an upgraded bootloader, etc?
If you have not you may have bricked your phone.
Give us a bit more detail so we can see how we can help.
Cheers
WB

hello
I had the same problem when I upgrade to official WM6 HTC rom, the phone don't ring and I loose the network.
I solve the problem with flashing the radio rom with older version.

I put wm6 on my phone the first day I got it. so I don't really know if this was a problem b4 with wm5.
mine only seems to ring my end after about 8 rings from the dialer so I have to get it within 2 rings b4 voice mail kicks in. Ypu think the if I update the radio as well will that help me?
ps. sorry for hi-jacking your topic seemed along the same line.

the same problem with Bouygues telecom!
Hi guys,
vinzcoyote can you tell me which radio version you put? i'm having the same problem with Bouygues telecom after updrading to WM6
thanks for the help.
C. J.

Hi everybody,
Sorry it took a while to answer (sleeping time).
I installed the official version from HTC Europe and it it only the incoming calls that doesn´t work, I can call other people.
THE SOLUTIONS
Two solutions seems to have been offered (below) but I (as Curious Jack) are new to this so could you please elaborate of give a link where I can read more?
Vinzcoyote "I solve the problem with flashing the radio rom with older version"
CrunchyGremlin: cnguar provisioning cab
Thanks so far.

Hi there
I had the same problem with mine after flashing to wm6 (but on a trinity)
Apparently there are 2 fixes:
1. Get a NEW sim , or
2. Flash radio rom back to an earlier version that was used with wm5.
Hope this helps

Two concrete solutions.
One last question: I use a Swedish OS - do the radio roms that is under: "Extracted Radio ROMs for your Hermes" work for me? Or only Anglosaxian PDA:s?
/Dan

similar problem discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1442269#post1442269
in fact Palm Treo 750 (HTC Cheetah) and Hermes are based on the same radio module.
latest Palm Treo WM6 Radio version: 1.47 (Qualcom)
What that Palm utility does is simply downgrading radio to earlier version. This might work for Hermes in bootloader mode as well.
My point is: no need to install hard sspl if one can downgrade to earlier version of radio with _official_ radio downgrade tool.
I will try later and report back.
update: Palm Radio downgrade tool picked up that device is incompatible. no luck so far.

Seems problem is with Bouygues Telecom
Hi Guys,
Got the exact same problem with Bouygues Telecom. I put a Orange Sim card and it is working so I assume the issue comes from Bouygues Telecom.
So that to check, are the french guys all on Bouygues Telecom or are you using other Telco operators?
Frederic

SOLVED : WM6 & HTC Tytn & Bouygues Telecom now working
Guys,
to make it work, you need to flash ROM Radio 1.38 on top of Windows Mobile 6.
ROM Radio 1.38 can be finded at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms

what version did you use? There are few of them listed on that page:
1.38.00.01
1.38.00.10
1.38.30.10
