So I upgraded to the ATT rom and radio stack to do a comparison from the T-mobile rom and 6.24.01 radio stack.
Impressions are that the ATT rom/radio are as good if not better than my older rom/radio although with the ATT rom i now seem to be always roaming on the cingular network rather than the t-mobile network ???
verified this by reverting to the t-mobile rom (left the att radio stack) and low-and-behold the phone reports that i have a t-mobile signal once again.
is this a problem or nothing to worry about ...
thanks
There is no problem at all. i called t-mobile to ask about this roaming signal thing, and they told me that it is perfecty allright and they will not bill anything extra.
here is something else i found out - T-mobile and Cingular have a agreement, in places where t-Mo does not have their own setup - Cingular is used - so infact even when it says T-Mobile you are actually on the Congular network, it is just the T-MO customized ROM which says that you are on T-MO.
so relax and enjoy a better ROM
lethaleagles is correct. Just before T-Mobile came into the SF Bay Area/and perhaps most of CA, it was announced that T-Mo has signed an agreement with Cingular to lease their lines; however, if I also recall, the data technology is all T-Mo's.
The software of the T-Mo Radio Stack replaces the reporting of the IMEI's current network being Cingular to T-Mobile.
how?
Hi, can I know how you guy upgrade from 4.01 to 30.09? I'm currently stuck at 4.01 with Bootloader 5.17 I only have 128mb MMC Card and Xda Cradle.
So the method I used was the tried and trusted SD flashing method.
I extracted the nbf file from the ATT .exe and burnt it to a 128mb SD card reset the device and accepted the prompt to flash from SD.
Once the ROM was loaded and looked ok I reset the partnership and re-sync'd contacts and calendar, loaded my custom ring tones and theme.
I then copied the radio upgrade files over to the PPC and ran rsupgrade.
Went without hitch and I am very pleased with the end result.
Oh obviously I backed up my data before embarking on this path.
Update the RS
I keep getting the message saying it cannot find the RSugrade file. Can anyone tell me what files and where should I put in the PPC?
Thanks!
Have you guys tried to get a GPRS connection after the upgrade?
If so did it work and is it still working? (somethings tells me its a T-Mobile issue but I thought I ask).
Also can somebody post their Device Information with this new ROM/ radio stack, I'm most interested in what your Protocol version has been changed to!

You need the below files and you put them in your devices windows root folder:
monitor_ul_bs.m0
monitor_ul_bs.map
RSUpgrade.cp64
RSUpgrade.exe
HTH
qman,
yes i got gprs to work after the upgrade - i had to manually create the connections, making sure they were NOT setup to use the ATT proxy. they worked pefectly yesterday, but i just tried them today and no joy :twisted: i am putting this down to flakey t-mobile gprs service and will try again later today.
Device Information output:
ROM version: A.30.09 ENG
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio Version: A.33.02
Protocol Version: 1.3.3
Hi Q - catch up w/me on MSN Messenger...I have protocol 324e4 as well. GPRS seems to be slow on the ATT Network (I also have an ATT SIM). With 4.01.00 and my T-Mo SIM connection was faster - although both attempts are with only the 6.24.01 RS.
Right-on Rey and thanks! :wink:
I upgraded my t-mobile xda last night, I didn't however upgrade the radio stack. This is working very well for me. I'm using the 6.24.01 RUU and the latest AT&T Rom. Those of you who are waiting this is the way to do it as you can then always go back to a t-mobile rom.

Glad to hear you got it working!
GPRS has been giving me the fists here in LV (is it ROM, is it the radio stack..upgrade..downgrade..what hell is going on)! :evil:
I finally called T-Mobile this morning to see what was going on and they told me that they were having system wide problems, O really!
Anyhow I'm up and running with A.30.09 ENG as you can see by my Sig.
I have an AT&T Siemens SX56. I used the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2 to get my SIM Lock disabled. I have T-Mobile service and my T-Mobile SIM now works, hoooray!
However!, The version of Pocket PC on this ROM is not to my liking.
I went to siemens site and they offer the latest Windows Mobile 2003 for my device, however I can't use it becuase my ROM versions don't match.
IS there any way I can upgrade the latest Windows mobile 2003? What would be the recommended method?
My current SX56 info:
Rom Version: 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version: A.33.02
Protocol Version: 1.3.3
Model No. says: PW10a1 (even though it says on the back PW10b1)
MS Pocket PC 3.0.12039 (build 11178)
Any help or advice would be appreciated. I scared to do anything for fear that using a ROM kitchen might toast my ROM
ANY advice on this would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Brock
the rear sticker is THE right one .. your device is B and it works on 900/1900 MHz.
As long you don't touch the RSU part and you are using the SD method for ROM flashing, there is almost nothing can go wrong for using the kitchen for ROM cooking. I can't remember how many times I flashed my ROM
You can get more details by reading through this forum carefully.
Good luck
Hmm... So what version of ROM on this ROM kitchen website would be most recommended: http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ ?
Also is there a reason why you are only allowed 3620kb of ROM space? I thought my device had 32MB?
All I would have to do is create the ROM on that site save it as a .exe and then it would do everything else?
Thank you for the quick reply!
I forgot to mention that I have the Wallaby Boot loader version 5.22, if that makes any difference.
I also was wondering if the newer radio versions make any difference on reception/clarity/availablity of a signal????
Another thing I was wondering about is... How come on this ROM kitchen website http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ I have to e-mail information and await instuctions to proceed? Does he have to give me a special number that is generated to make the ROM I downloaded work w/ my IMEI or device?? Or is that totally not right???
Thanks again,

Fanx- Graet site... But can someone help me? I've an XdaII. Originally an 02 locked one. I've tried all the unlocking gear from your site- No good. I get the message that the phone is already unlocked- but it won't work with my '3' SIM card. It does work with an old PAYG Orange card, tho.
I don't get asked for a code, never seen a code on the screen- looked as far as i can on the threads- Help!!!
I'm new to most of this techy biz, so please be gentle wiv me...
ROM- 1.72.OOWWE
DATE- 03/15/04
RADIO- 1.17.00
PROTOCOL- 1337.28
Ext ROM- 1.72.181
MODEL- PH10B
3 make their sim cards so they dont work with 2g phones
I took delivery today of a HTC P3600 refereed to here as an Trinity. system details are:
OS 5.1465 (build 15763.3.31)
ROM version 1.23.405.2
ROM date 03/11/07
radio version 1.38.00.11
protocol version 32.71 7020 12w
ext ROM version 1.23.405.108
model TRN100
This Came from Vodafone UK and is packaged in a HTC P3600 box with no mention of Vodafone anywhere on the box or in the documentation apart from welcome to network paperwork and Vodafone Sim card. I have registered it on the HTC website and it seems happy with the serial number taken from the box and informs of upgrades I can download.
As I am porting my old number in a few days, I put my "3" network Sim in it and to my surprise it worked and appears to be a unlocked handset. It was also supplied in black in spite of me trying to get it in black and being told it was only available in silver. The only Vodafone on on it is it shows the Vodafone screen as it boots up.
As yet I have not put in the new Vodafone Sim and I don't know if when I do this the handset will then be locked to to Vodafone.
I would like to upgrade to mobile 6 and wonder if it is safe to do so before I put the Vodafone Sim in.
Can anyone tell me if this handset is locked to or likely to become locked to Vodafone and what are you recommendations on upgrading to mobile 6.
Hello,
I have a question I would appreciate your help. I have a loaded this ROM i.e. ROM PDAVIET WWE BLACKSTONE WM6.5 ROM V65 21859 yesterday. Its excellent and thanks for the good work.
My problem is that the phone / GSM is off and stays off even if I select to switch on the phone. WIFI works well and I have connected to internet etc ok. Bluetooth works well also. The only problem I have is that I cannot use the phone to connect to my providers GSM network, the in the settings when I select switch on the phone, it indicates that it is processing something but it does not come on. I would appreciate any help/ideas.
I have Blackstone (Touch HD) - (Bought in Dubai and it was NOT sim locked - I have used it before with the stock ROM with several different providers SIM cards without any issues.)
Currently I have:
- OS version: 5.2.23053 (23053.5.3.0 PV)
- Manilla version: 2.5.19183726.1
- ROM version: 1.59.841.64 WWE
- ROM date: 09/21/09
- Radio version: 1.14.25.24
I noticed as well that when I go into 'settings' then 'system information' and select 'phone identity' that the Model No, Platform, IMEI and S/N Number information is missing.
I used a HSPL - 'HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex' and all went smoothly, and while still on the stock ROM all was ok including the GSM/PHONE. The problem started when I flashed to newer ROM's.
Also I do not have a backup of my stock ROM.
I would really appreciate any help, suggestions.
I have also read the FAQ's and the wiki on xda but the only thing that I can think of is that I need to do some sort of SIM/CID unlock? But I am not sure as I was already able to use my phone with the stock ROM with any providers SIM card.
Thanks,
Rmwanga.
I have the same problem
Hi Rmwanga
Were you able to solve this problem? I have the same problem with my BlackStone. I bought a Unlocked version of Blackstone and was using it without any problems, until I "Stoned" it by flashing WM6.5 ROM.
Please get back to me if you found a solution to this ?
Thanks
