Good Afternoon Ladies and Gents,
I am experiencing severe lousy reception with my XDA1.
Its quite surprising when im even outside all i get is one bar at all and still i experience call drops or jitter on the line during conversations
My Service provider is Rogers Wireless in Canada
My Device Information is:
ROM Version:4:01.00 ENG
ROM Date: 10/27/03
Radio Version: A.20.10
Protocal Version: 324e4
Is the best way sort out this proble is to upgrade the radio stack and how will i be able to do this.
Any help will be deeply appreciated
Regards,
Jeremy
Are you sure you have the right model for your provider?
There is a 900/1900 and a 900/1800 model of the XDA.
You can modify the 900/1900 to run at 1800, but with lousy reception. So maybe that's your problem.
Yes i do have the right model for my provider im using the 900/1900 currently my service provider uses 1900 band
Could it be the radio stack are my above specs fine or old
If your device is PW10B1 and ur using 1900 MHz and ur suing TMO 4.01.00 ROM, why don't you use RSU 6.25.02 ?
Note: RSU upgrade is the most risky action ... be extreamly careful.
Yes my device is the PW10B1 and I am using T-mobiles 4.01.00 ROM, how can i obtain the RSU6.25.02 radio stack and what is the safe process to upgrade this component.
You can find it here ... unzip the file, and copy the contents (4 files) to the \windows\startup directory and perform a soft reset.
Should I carry out a back up for precaution or should I procede with the upgrade
"better safe then sorry"
Just carried the upgrade and placed the files in my windows\startup menu actioned out the re-boot when i go to device information it still tells me my radio stack is still: A.20.10 is that right or the upgrade was not succesful
the correct directory is \windows\startup NOT \windows\startup menu
I have copied the files to the right destination folder when i do the reboot I ger errors
1: Cannot find RSU Upgrade
2: Cannot find RSUUpgrade.cp64
3: cannot find_ul_bs
then it launches into an exutable menu saying upgrading wireless device then it freezes there and returns to my start up screen I now have no connection or phone reception help please
How come you get such an error if you copied the whole 4 files ? ... It sounds like there is a copy error. Anyway, if it doesn't work, remove the 4 files and perform a hard reset .. it should be back to the old RSU.
I have managed to role back to my last known configuration but im still perplexed why it did not work any suggestions anyone
reception with Rogers.
When I bought my TMOBILE I was in LA. I moved to BC for work but got no support from TMOBILE so I upgraded to the XDA ROM to be able to change providers. I tried Rogers and found the same problem your talking about. I switched to FIDO and mine now seems to work fine and I get a great signal. Even the Wap works in the shopping mall. I would ask the XDA Developer Gurus if the stack upgrade is implamented into the new rom...then maybe talk to a different provider.

I have siemens SX56 I was on AT&T. I unlocked it signed up for CIngular. Phone works fine cant get on internet. Cingular is 850/1900. When go to GSM band program it says error. I did the hold down button and soft reset to toggle it to 1900 but it wont take it. It is stuck 0n 900. I am ROM 3.17.03
ROM DATE 05/15/03
RADIO VERSION A.33.02
PROTOCOL VERSION 1.3.3
PW10A1
Is this why I cant get on internet? Can someone help me out? Am I stuck with a phone that wont get on the Cingular internet? Thanks
I am a dumb blonde trying real hard to get this thing going and I am slowing losing my mind!
And it said 'Error" please re run the upgrade, but verything is workine fine and the device show I have rado 1.16?? Any ideas?
I thought I read in the upgrade writeup that the error display was normal. I guess if your phone works, I'd not worry about it...
yes, it is "normal" and it is written on the upgrade instructions as well.
Radio 1.16 flash info
If you run the Radio 1.16 upgrade correctly, you'll see the 1.16 version listed in Device Information on your mobile.
The key is to go into bootloader mode first, next connect to usb, & then run the upgrade progy. The flash will take about 20 minutes. It will indicate an error, but after the flash is completed. If you got an error before the flash, then you didn't get the upgrade.
how do you update just the radio for tytn, i thought you could only update the full rom image and not pieces of it like the radio???
Read the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
my upgrade fails after about 4 min. and the radio is not upgraded (1.13 signular) to1.16 Cingular).
I would be interested to know how many can upgrade successfully.
If you are on radio 1.13 cingular, means you're using cingular rom 1.31 with bootloader 1.06, for this radio upgrades to work you need bootloader 1.04.

Hi. I ve upgraded to radio 1.16. My provider is Movistar. Now i only get gprs speed althought i am connected with umts. Is this normal?
I am geting UMTS speeds with Movistar (prepaid card) in Barcelona, but no HSDPA. Where are you located?
In Madrid...Now reflashing dopod version. Here there isnt hsdpa speed althought Movistar say it is activated so now i am moving to vodafone....
I did move from Amena to Voda in august for the same reason
Good luck!
What about your feelings with vodafone hsdpa?
Is not as good as I expected initially... I have decent speed at work, in downtown (~700kbps) and icon shows and 4 coverage bars.
But at home (eixample area), I have and 3-4 coverage bars and I am only getting UMTS speed (~300kbps).
Maximum I have seen is (~1100kbps) in Fira de Barcelona, the place where it was 3GSM last year.
For the tests I use the following pages:
http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed
Usually dslreports shows the truth, and bandwidthplace reports a little bit more than the reality.
BTW, I haven't noticed any speed or coverage improvements after the 1.16 radio upgrade, only that it is faster switching on and off the flight mode to switch SIMs (I use the dual sim adaptor), and probably that I hear a bit louder than before the other party when I am on a call.
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!

I bought a new HTC Softbank X01HT phone from China and bought it back to New Zealand. I have successfully changed all the settings to NZ network, except quite often it won't ring when someone calls me... I have got sms/txt working, internet access working, i can make calls, and sometimes i can receive calls...
If i take the battery out and restart it, I get a message which says "Your current operator 53001 is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor..."
The countries pre supported are Ausi, hong kong, INdo, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand..... but not New Zealand.
My ROM version s 1.23.707.4
Rom Date 07/21/06
Radio Version 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version 32.53.7018.01H
Model Herm200
Pocket PX
Vodafone have been no help as they say they don't support parallel imported items, nor were Imate, same reason, kind of expected that.
Any ideas? this phone is really cool, but if i can't receive calls or roam with it, its basically useless for me...
ROM upgrade?
upgrading your device's ROM (and radio ROM) will probably fix your problem.
you should COMPLETELY read the wiki here at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes and also Mr Vanx *excellent* upgrade guides at http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
read BOTH before you try to upgrade or risk bricking your device. however, a ROM upgrade will probably fix your device.
does not seem like your device is SIM-locked (or else it wouldn't work at all with your SIM), but you might want to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301952 nonetheless
Sounds like you've got one of the Dopod roms installed. There are a few things you can try before upgrading the rom and radio.
1. Ignore the message. Just install the operator settings for your carrier manually or with a pre-made cab file. Some of them are listed here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs , others you'll probably have to search for.
2. If installing your own settings still causes a conflict try deleting the other settings or use Bandswitch to disable them.
3. Try a hard reset and then, just before the customisations start, do a soft reset. The stuff Dopod put in their extended rom won't be installed but you'll also lose the 'operator not supported' message. You'll also have to manually input your carrier settings.
4. Upgrade to one of the wm6 roms but, as SkyyBoy says, be careful. Definately run Olipro's hardspl 2.10 (hardspl v7) and read Mrvanx's guide before beginning.
Oh yes, could you extract the 'you got message' sms notifies and post it here. I think it's kind of cool, but I'm too lazy to downgrade my rom just to get it.
I've just downgraded to the same ROM as you and I'm fine sending and receiving calls using my O2 and Vodafone sim cards (both from UK). I'm currently in UK but have also used this rom in China without problems.
The only difference between your and my setup is that I currently have radio 1.38.00.10. Yours is 1.16.00.00 which is (I think) the radio which comes with pof's CID/SIM unlocker - because the original shipped radio with this rom is 1.06.00.10. This suggests that the phone is super CID (a good start).
The radio is a bit old (which could be the problem) so I'd suggest upgrading it to at least 1.27.00.00 - but you'll have to read the threads and do some experimenting to find the best one for you. You can get the radios here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms.
Before you upgrade the radio use olipro's hardspl 2.10 (V7) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722. An error during radio upgrades is the quickest way to brick your phone and hardspl 2.10 will allow you an easy way to recover from this.
I am facing the same problem in order to add TIM Brasil, however I am not finding any cab file with the configurations
Someone could help me, please please?
I recently loaded the xda developers ver. 1.2 rom to unlock the sim, seemed to work but later found that the phone was not functioning after 5 mins., a soft reset gets it going again, but then stops again after a few mins. This has happened to all three phones I used this program on. Can anyone help me fix this? PLEASE HELP!!!!! Contact me at [email protected]
What do you mean with "not functioning"?
Have you installed additonal software or just the ROM 1.2 ?
Stefan
By not functioning, I mean that no calls or text messages are received or sent after a few minutes of sitting. I have not installed any other software with it.
did you install a radiostack along with the rom if so
and you did a 900/1800 radiostack on a 900/1900 device
or the other way around you should reflash the right radio stack
if not you can try choosing the right band in the bootloader
I did not change the radio stack, the rom 3.17.00, radio version 6.12 . I have set to 1900 with bootloader, still same problem. FIDO in Vancouver, canada. got any suggestions? the sticker says its a pw10b1
