I am new to this forum and think it is great!!
My question (after searching the forum) is how do I get my SX56 to act as a modem either in GSM mode or GPRS mode? I have a serial cable and I tried the steps for putting the SX56 in Bootloader mode but no luck.
I dialed using a laptop running Windows XP Professional and the screen changes on the SX56 but it still will not dial.
What I would like to do is using the serial cable or IR from my Windows XP laptop use the GPRS connection to the internet.
Can anyone help?
Thanks - Julian
If you can live not having the latest ROM edition, you could install ROM 3.17.03 and use the included 'wmodem.exe' application, which lets you use the device as a modem without needing to put it in bootloader mode (putting it in bootloader mode has a number of disadvantages, such as high battery drain and the disruption of the system clock).
Can I restore my old ROM image if I do not like the new one?

Yes. If the new one happens to be 4.00.10 or 4.00.16 you need to go via the 'bootloader mode' and using an SD-card, otherwise you can just use 'Programme A'. Either way: Get the XDAtools, and you'll be all set up.

Hi to all, my problem is that I can't enter the bootloader. in other words I can enter it(power+navigation buttom and reset) but i only see the word Serial and v1.01, and when usb is connected I see USB v1.01 , i can't see d2s or any other information and options. I wanted to flash my rom to SD using Multi-Port/USB TTY . I did a search on this forum but no luck so if anybody can give me a hand I'll appriciate it. Ciaoz Mine is XDAII the german verwsion.
Please anybody can give me a step by step info on how to copy the original rom to SD card, I need to change language from german to english and I want to keep the original german rom just in case. Thx
Does it have to be on sd there are other way of doing it which I will be able to talk you through (I think) if you need a hand
Well I was thinking to flash it to the sd in case the phone goes dead and you're out of activesync so the only way of flahsing it will be through SD. But another way of flashing is more than appriciated so I'll be waiting for ur guide.. do u happen to know why I can't see the options in the bootloader? thanks really
1st ... I have no idea why you cant get into the bootloader. On my xda 2 after a cold reboot i just get the serial and then when in the cradle I get usb, from their I dont know what to do. I would class myself as a newbie as well but I can talk you through what I did.
Which rom is it that you want to flash?
The extended rom or the Os rom?
i'm willing to flash the OS rom and not the extended. My version is 1.03.00 Ger and I want to flash to the "Dangaard (Qtek) 1.60" or RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL version which is an english one although I heard some people had their phones dead while doing so. I must find a way to back my rom 1st.. Did u do the update urself??
Yes I did the update using a programme called
HimaUpgradeUt.exe
I was originally after flashing the extended rom only, but due to not fully understanding the instructions at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470&highlight=
I made a mistake and flash the Radio Stack - the OS and the extended rom as well. After this I worked out how to use HimUpgradeUt.exe to flash the extended rom only. I am guessing that if you follow the same procdure for flashing the rom and flash the OS you will get the same results.
However I haven't tried it yet. I am hoping to get the radio rom and the OS rom for O2 xda2 and try it but until them I cant confirm it. I am only guessing that it will work?
So its up to you I have successfully updated the extended rom 4 time but I just dont have the files to do it?
Where did you get you Os file from?
I already tried Multi-Port/USB TTY program , but in the instructions it says"
3. boot the machine into bootloader mode (hold the Power and directional pad , then push reset)
4. Run the rompdate utility, select the comport as "wceusb001" or something like that as the default comport." The problem is that After going into bootloader mode I launched the romupdate utility but in the com-ports I only see com1 and com2 ,there is no wceusb001!!. And where did u see the d2s that I hear about??
I've got the downloads from the forum this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6214&sid=0dad85b97d280219dc51962a01a4997b and the other form here http://shop.store.yahoo.com/cellpoint/tmobilemdaii.html
It seems that we are taking cross purposes here.
Using HimaUpgradeUt.exe you can update the roms using .NBF files,
hence the way in which I updated all 3 of my roms in one go.
Radio.nbf
Ms.nbf
Exteneded Rom.nbf (can’t remember the actual name) it looks like you are using a different up loader or have different files to upload. I can only really help with advice on the process that I followed. I can provide you with the files that I had, if you want it will change your 02 format to I-Mate in English.
Does this help?
well I know we have differnet purposes but we should use the same tool I guess if we followed this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470&highlight= and the tool is Multi-Port/USB TTY program to back up rom or extended rom. Please provide me the info to back up the rom no matter if to SD or HD. Thanks for ur time man.
I think that you can try using ositools I will find the link and then post it, but again I am still not sure how you reinstal it afterwards

I am in the same situation with you, have you solved yet?
Serial / USB V1.01
I had the same problem, and I found the cause to be a USB Hub. I found that when I plugged the cradle directly into my PC I managed to load the update without any further problems.
I hope this helps
you have to disable usb or com port in activesync, before trying to connect with mtty, or terminal program.
see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaBootloader
I just flashed the ROM to the 2.06 (or whatever) version of the Hermes that has PTT. But the Wireless Modem program is GONE! I don't know if they took it out, or just haven't implemented it yet. Everything else seems to be there; it's this sole program that's missing. How do I get it back??
Old "wireless modem" has been replaced by "Internet Sharing" on newer (AKU 3.3) roms.
How do I access this internet sharing? Does it have the same features?
It seems that I shouldn't have used SPB Backup...I guess there's no way around re-installing everything. Thanks for the heads up.

I am in the similar situation. How to use "Internet Sharing" to make the 8525 as a wireless modem for my notebook? Thanks.
Missing wireless mondem and no internet sharing
I am also missing the wireless modem icon under connections after upgrading my firmware, i also cannot find internet sharing.
I am still using WM5
Can anyone help?
Cingular's response to Internet Sharing
I just had a conversation with Cingular's tier 2 support on the Internet Sharing issue. He claims that you need to subscribe to their $59.99 internet package and not the $39.99 PDA package andsomehow magically things will work . . .
I am attempting to connect to an XP Pro acer laptop and the lapto does not recognize the handset as a modem when the internet sharing is 'connected' and I cannot find a driver that works.
The phone is new but I had to update it to the new Cingular ROM because it came with the old one that had the Wireless Modem app not the new Internet Sharing.
There has got to be a way around this . . . .!

Tnx, but I rebooted the 8525 and the XP Pro Laptop, then everything seemed to work. There was actually no setup required. Instead of working like my 8125 where there was a connect step, it sets up as a simple data connection automatically. The onlything i see is the phone connecting to GPRS when you hit connect! I hate cockpit trouble . . .
I got a Wallaby PW10B1 from my friend.
The original ROM version is 4.01.16, but doesn't work.
When I downgrade it to 3.17.03 or special_rom_1.2, the PDA part works, but there is no phone signal.
I also tried some other WM2003 version rom, all of them don't work, which I saw a T-mobile screen and can't go further.
Could you guys help me to figure out the problem?
Thanks!
Where are you located?
PW10B uses 900/1900 MHz gsm networks.... Maybe this causes your problems with the signal.

Thanks for your reply. I'm in State College, PA, and have no idea which frequency Cingular is using here. I went to Cingular Store here, and put one of their SIM card in my phone, but there is still no signal.
I noticed another thing, with most PocketPC 2002 BIOS, my device is recognized as PW10A1, but on the back it's PW10B1. I tried couple of WM2003 ROM, none of them is working (can't enter the PDA OS, system will hung there after the logo is showed)
Do you guys have any idea what kind of problem it could be?
radio stack
rember i had same sort of problem try changing the radio stack don't use the 4.16 i could not get it to work

Thanks man! I will look at it.
Here's What You Need To Do . . .
Hi, bryt.
From the information you have provided, it appears as though you have an incorrect ROM image loaded on your XDA. The PW10B1 will adopt the personality of a PW10A1 if the ROM image for a PW10A1 is loaded onto it. However, this will not make a PW10B1 function as a PW10A1.
The biggest drawback of having the wrong ROM image loaded on your XDA is that you cannot apply the OEM ROM updates that were originally supplied by A.T.& T. Wirelese and Siemens. The reason these OEM ROM images won't load is because they actually do some device validation before loading. Originally implemented as a safety precaution, these device validation routines have become a hinderance because they prevent you from forcing a ROM update to correct a previous bad ROM update. There is good news though . . .
The PW10B1 has a mode that allows byte copying a ROM image directly from a flash card to the XDA ROM. I have converted the Siemens OEM Windows Mobile 2003 Update to a flash-writable nk.nb1 image file that can be written to a Secure Digital (SD) flash card and then force-loaded onto the PW10B1.
I developed this process after loading an undesirable ROM image on my PW10B1 in order to unlock it, which was successful. But, then I had a terrible time getting the OEM Windows Mobile 2003 Update back on the XDA.
I make the OEM installer version of the Windows Mobile 2003 Update available on my web-site. I do not offer the flash-loadable version on my web-site though. If you are interested in having the flash-loadable version of the OEM Windows Mobile 2003 Update, let me know and I will place it on my web-site and send you a link. The file is 32MB uncompressed and about half that size compressed, so I will probably put it on the web-site as a .zip file if you decide that you would like it.
Good luck!
Lisa
So I'm a total n00b at unlocking phones but I was trying to unlock my alltel 6800 and after running the program and following the steps I'm stuck on the screen that is red/green/blue/white that shows the rom info and says USB at the bottom when plugged into the pc. I tried a hard boot/soft etc. and can't find a solution. Also activesync is not recoginizing it. Thanks much for any help.
i believe you have to flash it with a new rom/radio.
download the the newest radio. connect your phone via usb. your screen should be in the tricolor (2.40spl) at this point. run the radio flash.
Download a new rom. do the same as above.
to get to tricolor screen (hold power + camera + press soft reset)
Yeah i'm thinking I might have to load it from the SD card but I can't find my stinkin adapter so I can format the SD card. Activesync is not recognizing my phone at all.

it IS recognizing the phone being plugged in if it says USB at the bottom, so just flash a new rom/radio and you should be good.
HOLD, Give a little more info please

OK, before it is bricked, tell us the numbers on the rainbow screen, then if it is 1.6 then run the 2.40 olipro, then new ROM, then radio. It is not broken yet, activesync does not like it when the unit is in bootloader mode so it will not show it, but the RUU will work if you just go forward with it and when done it will get you out of bootloader. If you get confused and lost then being an alltel unit you can put the 1.6 bootloader back on, run the stock RUU from utstar.com, bring it back stock and start again.
I got it fixed and installed the sprint firmware but silly me let it run through the setup and now it's trying to use the spring network. Sometimes I wish i could punch myself in the face..
Ok so i got no2chem up and running great but I still can't actually dial out. When i dial it says i'm not allowed to etc after a few rings. Is there some way to change back to the alltel network?
ok now i'm running titan 3.35 but can no longer get active sync which is required to relock the phone. I've tried everything but activesync does not want to work anymore. Any ideas?

First of all, you don't relock your phone...you leave 2.4-olipro on it because it's required to boot your phone with this rom on it.
Second, go into activesync settings and make sure usb is enabled in the connections.
get back to Alltel,,,,

You will need to load up the PRL and then do IOTA.

I'm sorry but i'm not familiar with those terms. I do have USB enabled on activesync though but it never detects it.
From reading other threads I assumed I had to relock it, then reload the alltel rom to get the radio working again. Is there another way?
I got the factory alltel rom back in and working but it's not letting me make calls still. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Well i got my phone working finally but now the data line is not working. It says I need a password now which I haven't needed before.
Hi
I recently bought a tg01 in a private sale and it has been flashed with a cooked rom. Most of the time the phone works fine but does suffer from the occasional lockup that requires a switch off to get things running again. One problem that is annoying is I am unable to get the phone to connect to my laptop using either the activesync or mass storage options. When I connect my tg01 to the laptop with a usb cable + mini to micro usb adapter I get no connection at all ? I have tried this on both a windows xp and windows 7 and no connection is possible. I am wondering if flashing back to an original rom from the toshiba website would so;ve this problem for me until a stable cooked rom is available ?
I have downloaded the rom directly from Toshiba's website and it states it is a Orange uk update. Now my tg01 is unlocked and running a o2 sim at the moment, will flashing this image keep the phone unlocked ? I have been told that the phone will remain unlocked but the fact that this upgrade from the Toshiba website states it is a Orange upgrade it worrying me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
About 90% of the TG01 in this forum (including mine) are Orange Unlocked Sim and no one reported having his phone simlocked after flashing
Try to hard reset your phone if you have activesync issues.
Turn it off, and then press Power+Camera+Vol Up at the same time and follow instructions, or goto settings --> system --> mater clean
Hope this helps
Thanks for your reply.
I guess the big question is what is the best rom currently for people in the uk ?

check the rom i'm using
I found it's the best regarding battery life and stability.
you can also flash the original rom, and you can find unbranded original rom in rom development thread
