Help! Me choos a ROM: I unlocked the 8525, now it won't let me upgrade newest Cingula - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

So yeah, i used the new V3a unlock utility, automated version...
Well it also updates the SPL in the process, not sure if this is why I cannot update my ROM to the newest official Cingular Release? What happens is the screen goes blank as if I had it on saving power mode, right when the update officially starts (progress bar stays at 0%), and I get the 460 error or whatever..for some reason my phone loses the ActiveSync connection at the same time screen goes dark.
Then I pickup my phone, everything is fine...but that ROM update puts it to sleep causing it to lose the connection I guess.
So anyway, which would be a ROM that will work for me? Is it not working because that unlock thingy upgraded my SPL?
I currently have WM 2005 on the phone, it is working fine. Just want an upgrade..to WM6.
I have t-mobile..

Go to the wiki and read the section on upgrading ROM via the miniSD card. I couldn't get mine to take via wire, but the SD method worked great.

[Universal] radio 1.08.00

New radio rom 1.80.00 found in buzzdev.net
http://buzzdev.net/component/option.../id,245/chk,f591b2e6d03ade7ce6681bbbc7563b3a/

RE
Anybody tried it? Does it solves the bluetooth disconnection problem?
Thanks
Radio 1.08.00
Radio 1.08.00 seems to be for the Himalaya?
yep ! definetely for a himalaya !
I'm halfway through upgrading mine... maybe I should have checked the new posts in here before I started... :? I'll let you know how it turns out!
I had the Country ID error and ran it again. Worked second time.
I guess I can always reflash back to 1.06.00 if it all goes tits up! :lol:
EDIT: Presumably if it's for the Himalaya then WiFi connectivity will be broken once I've done it, since the Himalaya doesn't support WiFi. 30% done. I'll report back soon...

Please let us know, so we could possible proceed as well.
im 88% through flashing, figured wtf 1.06 can go on again
Okay, I've done the upgrade and when I did a soft-reset my machine said
Radio 1.08.00
Protocol 42.41.P8
And I have connected to my wireless network at home and have successfully browsed to the bbc.co.uk homepage, so WiFi works.
I haven't put a SIM in my device yet (still using my old phone).
Why do you guys think it's for the Himalaya?
well it seems to work a treat chaps,
wifi connectec quicker im sure, not long enough for a thorough check but its working!!!
oops i forgot to remove the sd and sim, ahhwell, flashed first time, phew
Okay guys, here's what I've found so far:
WiFi works - connected to my home network and browsed
Bluetooth works - ran TomTom and got a fix
Phone works - Made a few phone calls.
AND... When I rang the Exec it indicated an incoming call the INSTANT I got a dial tone on the house phone and there was no delay before we could hear each other!
This looks like the real deal!
im sure this thing is running alot smoother aswell, so far 1.08 on the Universal is a green light, i dunno where this hymilaya thing has come from, but on buzz's site its in the universal section
Yeah I agree Carnivor. It looks very promising so far and all of the functions appear to work at least as well as before.
Just been syncing successfully with Exchange over WiFi.
Obviously if it starts crashing we'll report back, but nothing bad so far!
About wifi, did you have the need to turn on twice to connect, and is it solved with this radio? Ie: Some universal user can turn on wifi the first time, but if you turn it off (using the pocket pc menu, not by turning off the power), and you turn on again, it won't connect. You would have to turn off then on to connect.
i upgraded to my Jasjar and all went alright until I reset at the end and it want boot past the blue i-mate screen, I have even hard reset and still nothing.
Any help please.....
Or does anyone know how to put old radio or Rom on as it will not boot up so I can't use activesync
Please any help
I have tried doing an upgrade while in the screen where you hard reset it and still nothing, it just sits at the blue boot up screen
Please anyone, Thanks

Just reset the device normally and plug in the USB cable.
ActiveSync won't connect, but it will be connected to your PC. Just run the T-Mobile ROM Update program then and everything should be fine
If you still want to upgrade to Radio ROM 1.08.00, then try the tutorial I wrote here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40986
Just follow all the steps for the radio ROM, and in the end throw away the non-radio ROM files before flashing
I'm using this method right now on my Dutch T-Mobile MDA Pro as I also had trouble with the NoID tool
Thanks for helping me.
You said use the T-Mobile Rom, I have a i-Mate Jasjar, is the T-Mobile Rom the only Rom that will fix this problem?

Err, sorry, my bad
I thought you had a T-Mobile logo in your name
No, if you have an I-Mate, use an original I-Mate ROM instead of the T-Mobile one
EDIT:
Actual feedback on this Radio ROM:
the GPRS refused to log in, somehow, although I'm not quite sure this is a problem with the ROM. I'll downgrade to 1.06.00 later and see if the problem persists.
Everything else seems to work just fine
Upgrade Radio 1.08.00
I just upgraded my Universal (OS: TMo 1.20.34) with Radio 1.08.
Everything running like a charm.

No GSM/No Service on XDA IIs (BA)

Hi,
When i first got my BA, i upgraded from WM2003 to WM6.
This worked ok for everything (A few glitches here and there but i could live with them), but then, my phone battery had ran out, i charged it and loaded it up again and it now shows No Service on the today screen, so I can't make any calls off it.
I also noticed that when the phone boots it shows No GSM where it used to have 2 different numbers.
I've tried reflashing it to WM5, and also to WM6.1 but both of these didn't seem to fix it. The WM6.1 version I used can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390862
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks!
Yes, fix is quick and easy and you can do it even at home: a soft reset.
Hi,
thanks for your reply,
I have tried soft and hard resets but this doesnt seem to fix it.
I wanted to try upgrading my Radio rom but when I ran the updater I got error 114. I'm not too sure what this means though?
Thanks!
Solution against "No Service" issue
Have a lot of Siemens SX66's. Just took one and ran unlocker, then flashed WM 6.0 and upgraded radio to 1.15.00. After that inserted SIM card and saw permanent "no service" message. Tried HR few times for no avail. Here's what really helped: I ran universal unlocker once again and then did soft reset. Voila! System booted and connected to GSM network. Hope somebody will find this useful.
Hi, All!
2 Larik007:
Did you have similate trouble with radiorom?
I have analogic problem with my BA (iMATE PDA2K)
At boot screen I see
No GSM
D 6.14 WWE
and boot process stops at this position.
Once my BA was booted up with this trouble, and goes to reboot and all repeats again.
I can't reflash radiorom.
At 61% I have "Error 114: Radiorom upgrade error"
I tried to reflash radioroms from 1.02 to 1.15, but nothing positive.
:-(
Can anybody help me?
No, my problem is because of some kind of error during unlock process, I guess. And your problem appears to be similar to "No GSM" issue of Hermes phones. But it may be repairable unlike Hermes ones...

I have the same "no service" issue. Can you give me a link for this magic universal unlocker
- what is this anyway?
Thanks!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Unlock_Sim
Look for a link under word "this"
i had this problem, heres what i did that made it work,
1.re-insert the battery
2.press the on button
3.press the reset button TWICE
EVERY time you turn it off and on do this, but if you reset the phone you dont need to do it twice.
hope this works as it did for me,
Josh.
Partial solution for "No signal" problem
I think the idea was posted by xplode sometime ago- I spent a day playing with it, but it finally worked for me.
0) I had unlocked BA with 2003. Later on I upgraded it to WM 6.1 and then at some point I've got this "No service" issue. I upgraded my Radio to 1.15 (it did not help me- but I did this in the very beginning, so may be it matters)
1) I downgraded ROM to one of 2003 ROMs (xplode has a collection: http://tinyurl.com/cozbbx)
-) downgrade instructions are in here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
2) I unlocked band page for the network connection- it was discussed in (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297099)
2.5) I finally used this cab : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=23788&d=1121269005 to set band selection to 900/1800 (still no service)
3) I removed sim card and did a hard reset followed by soft reset. I put a sim card back and soft reset BA.
--- I guess at this point it's 2003 with 900/1800 band and working
4) I upgraded my ROM to 6.5 and it is working now.
the link is dead.sorry for my bad english i've tried all the procedure but still had no gsm on my xda iis dont have imei and i cant see my radio version can you help me....
Lucky You that I still have troubleshooting tutorial in my file archive. I've written it by myself when was unlocking many of these devices.
Although I'm not sure if it will help with symptoms You listed...
Here it is what you can try to do if your Blueangel PDA phone constantly showing "No Carrier" and it is not possible to enter phone settings:
1. Take off the battery from the phone while it is turned on.
2. Place the battery back in, turn on the phone. At bootup there should be stated "NONE" instead of versions of "R" and "G" (seems that it is required to be so).
3. After OS had boot, run the Unlocker. Few times, maybe.
4. Reboot.

Problem with wm6 rom on mdaIII

Hallo,
I've got a big problem with my MDAIII. After the upgrade to WM6 rom my radio doesn't work anymore. I have tried to update the Radio rom but with no succes. Every radio rom update tool i dowload will not work.
I read many wiki's and posts but come no further.
I have read that i have to downgrade to WM3, then update my radiorom and then update to WM6. But the problem is the downgrade roms to WM2003 doesn't work too.
The other strange thing is when i put out my battery and then put it back and startup my pda he says:
R:None
G:None
D:6.11.00.wwe
But when i gave the device a soft reset or hard reset the versions are:
R:1.00.00
G:1337.30
D:6.11.00.wwe
What are the real numbers?
Who can help me?
Sad MDAIII user
Edit:
If i give the device a hard reset and the startup screen give me this info:
R:1.00.00
G:1337.30
D:6.11.00.wwe
then the phone accepts the pin code from my simcard, but after the accept the device gives the message unknown SIM status.
Problem solved. Found a Radio rom that can install in bootloader mode. Or they al have to i don't actualy know.
Can you ponit me to the radio rom that actually works?
I have the same problem, although I install radio updates in bootloader, no one is kept when I remove the battery.
thanks
on WM5, WM6 and WM6.1, when u take out the battery, you need to soft-reset the device to allow the radio to boot.
ive lived with this 'issue' ever since i started flashing roms over my blueangel wm2003.
it's never been a problem...more of a minor annoyance to have to 'double-boot'.
say for example..if I've changed simcards and is switching on device for the first time id have to
1. switch on
2. reset to get the radios recognised

Rom Upgrade Utility Failing

I did a search and couldn't find anybody with this same problem so I thought I would ask.
I am trying to update to the new offical Bell Mobility GPS Rev A. ROM.
Currenty on NFSFAN's Bell v1.11 cooked ROM. and the leaked Sprint radio.
Using 2.31 SPL.
Never had problems flashing before when I was testing out different radios. Now none of the RUUs I used before will work on my phone now.
Here is what happens:
1. Connect with AS, then run update EXE
2. Everything runs normal until the instant the ROM update progress meter appears on the PC screen.
3. At this point AS disconnects (the phone is no longer detected by the PC) and in the Bootloader it says "Press power button to update" (It never showed that message for any previous updates, it just did it automatically).
4. So I press the power button and after about 5 seconds it says update completed. But actually nothing happened at all. I have to soft reset to get out of Bootloader.
5. After a couple minutes the RUU on the PC will time out and give ERROR 260. Which has to do with lost connection.
I have tried this on 2 different PCs, soft resetting my touch and rebooting the PC and switching USB ports, about a hundred times.
It seems the problem is that the phone looses it connection to the PC as soon as the RUU tries to upload the new ROM to the phone. But I have no idea why this is happening all of a sudden or how to fix it.
PLEASE Help!!!
Problem Solved!!
I think I must have tried about a thousand different things. At some point I noticed during an attempt using the 2.31 unlocked that it mentioned something about memory cards formatted a certain way causing a screen to come up that said "press power to update". And since this was happenning to me when it wasn't supposed to... I just removed my memory card and tried the update again, and POOF!! Worked.
I don't know why the memory card would affect flashing but there it is.

Are you trying to flash a custom rom? If so, are you unlocked?
Do you have your memory card in when you try to flash?
What device, carrier, radio, rom version etc etc do you have?

S620 OS is completely hosed

Hi - while trying to install Skype, the entire OS simply crashed. The phone does switches on but no longer finds the OS. Hence, I have no way to get an ActiveSync connection. Is there any way to install a clean O/S onto it?
Thanks in advance,
First step take your time to read the sticky located at the top of forum..
You could try an hard-reset and if all else fails flash stock ROM via bootloader, then update to ROM of choice.
Error 300
Thanks. I did. Particularly the "unbricking instructions post" from ookba.
The issue is that my Dash does not even start up. Hence, there is no way for me to get an active sync connection.
Current Status:
- phone can be started by pressing the Camera key and Power, which shows the red-green-blue screen
- phone can then be connected to the PC via a USB connection. I hear the ba-bing, but the phone does/will not establish an Active Sync (which makes sense)
- downloaded the TMO official ROM from the TMO site which is a WM6. Now, I know my phone did not previously have WM6. It probably had WM5.x but I cannot find the SHIPPED ROM anywhere.
- when I tried the RRU from TMO WM6 ROM, I got through all the way to upgrading. At which point, the mobile screen went to a white/grey with status bar stuck at 0%. But the PC application crashed and gave an error 300.
repeated the same with Kavana's ROM and the same issue.
I am looking through the forums for error 300 but most solutions seems to require an Active Sync connection. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
have you tried hard reset? thats your best option
like stylez said, find the stock rom that was already on your phone and flash that.
i know you said you cant find it but it'll be online somewhere
look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726&highlight=official+roms
The key here is that you find your original stock rom, I had the same issue a while ago and took some time to get my stock rom in the web, since the forum didn't have it. I found it in the rapidshare library http://rapidlibrary.com/index.php?q=rapidshare+library, searching under HTC s621 rom. Additionally, have u try method # 3 in the unbricking tutorial? It worked for me.
