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:

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,

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,
Tambeng

possible radio issue?

On occasion when I try to make a call...it will just say dialing but will never connect. so I hit END and try to dial again. A pop up window opens and says Phone application failed. Then I have to reset in order for me to make a call. would this be fixed by upgrading to a different radio version?
im running WM6 Vanilla on my TyTN, on Cingular/at&t.
Radio Version 1.03.03.10
thanks in advance.

you sure you wrote the correct radio version down????

yes that's what my TyTN tells me is my radio version...

You definitely should update your radio ROM to a newer version!
Cheers

im only familiar with doing ROM updates. can I update just the Radio without going thru the hoopla needed when doing a ROM update?
and is there a certain radio I should upgrade to?

yes...read the wiki

i upgraded to latest Radio via the WIKI. now i have a "U" where i do not have 3G, i wont be at work til tomm, but im assuming it wont have my nice 3G? why did this change?

On my TyTN, WM6 Vanilla
ROM Version: 3.22.110.1
ROM Date: 01/04/07
Radio Version 1.41.00.10
Protocol version: 32.74.7020.18H
like i said i just upgraded to the 1.41.00.10 Radio, and now when i am in a non 3G area, instead of a "G" at top, i have a "U", with a little "E" when connected to data. i wont be in a 3G area until tommorow sometime to see what it says then.
ive installed the shogun_nice3G to get the G and 3G icons back how i liked them, but it still says U when im not in a UMTS/3G area...
any suggestions?

Improvement Advices please!

I have a MDA from T-Mobile with:
- IPL: 1.01
- SPL: 1.40.Olipro
- OS: WM6 CE 5.2.1933 ; Build 18533.0.7.0
- ROM: Schap's WM6 Pro 4.00 RC 25/09/2007 (FULL MODE)
- Radio: 1.16.00.00
- Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
I had a few problems with the No GSM, but now everything seems normal.
What improvements would you advise?
SPL to the latest 2.10 or 2.30?
Radio upgrade?
Is it possible to upgrade the Protocol Version? What does it mean?

My personal opinion..do not play with IPL/SPL unless its a die situation...try upgrading radio, i find that some radios are better than others in my device...
Learn how to cook and be a flash junkie...LOL

Most of the times I feel the GSM reception is too weak.
Improving the radio will make reception better?
Wich do you recommend me to instal?? Hermes 300

Yeah, a better Radio will improve your signal, and also save on battery life. 1.54 is the latest and seems to work well for everyone else i know
Check the hermes wiki links above and you can download it there.

Who is your provider?
My stock AT&T radio (1.40) worked good, but i prefer to use higher versions just in case...I dont have any problems with the current one that i am using right now (see signature)

Portugal TMN
I´ve seen those Rom´s for audio upgrade and have researched on how to install them, I think I can make it with sucess. However, I want your opinion on upgrading SPL before the audio update please
"need bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade your radio and ?RadioBootloader version 107 or less"
in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
How can I check this?

I´ve update the SPL to the 2.10 Olipro and the Radio to the latest version.
However, I can´t make 3G calls, any ideias? It wasn´t working before the update either.

radio o depends on ur provider a lot.
i use 1.43 for australia. 1.54 is ltest but it sux in australia.
so get feedback from those in a similar region. 1.16 is gonna be stuffed either way, there r much better versions.
i also use htc released rom for phone os.

Well, I´ve installed the latest radio and now I´m back with the NO GSM message.
i wonder ir this is a problem with my installation, with the radio rom files, or with my PDA?
Any help please

it means u screwed it up n didnt follow instructions, and probably didnt read wiki.
get a new radio version, or do it again n reflash it.
ensure u have the right ipl/spl version n u understand the risks n bricking when u r upgrading radios.
i have completely wiped my device n bricked it doing radios. so re flash a rom of choice, reflash radios and alllow lots of hours redoing it all.
suggest u try just reflash a radio that works for ur region. be prepared to lose everything n hope u have backed it up before u starrted.

I didn´t bricked. I bought it bricked.
I´have been trying for the past week to recover it from a brick. I´ve read every tutorial in this forum, and didn´t screw up.
However, I haven´t yet found a Radio Rom that work´s stable in this MDA in Portugal TMN.
I´ve tried 1.16.00, 1.38, 1.40, 1.57 (both). When with 1.16 it worked for 2 days in a row, however after that the no gms appears once in a while.

Can I upgrade Radio Rom?

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could upgrade the Radio Rom. I tried to find out what my Radio Bootloader was through the WIKI site but could not get the commands to work. All I know is that I have:
Rom Version: Schap's 4.01
Rom Date: 10/03/07
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01W
ExtRom Version: 4.01.20071111
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.40.Olipro
I think that I need a newer Radio Rom as that one seems a bit old. The phone takes about 1.5 seconds to come back from sleep when clicking the power button.

You will have no problems upgrading radio. My phone started with 1.16 and is no up to 1.54.

sure, you can update the radio.
i suggest upgrading your IPL/SPL to HardSPL 7 or 9. i am currently using HardSPL 9 (2.60 Olipro), at the very least if you have a corrupted radio flash you will have your system bootable instead of a dead brick.
check out the ftp repository for xda-developers, you will be able to find v7 there (v9 is in the upload folder, but make sure you _only_ use it if you know what you are doing.)

Definitely upgrade SPL first, also do a little reading around, some radio roms work better in some countries than others and better on some network providers.
