H...E....L....P!!!!!
Having upgraded the radio rom version to 1.17 then tapped the "HimaGetDeviceData.exe" in the window dir, the xda2 went to rest itself then the screen display nothing but only stated "Serial.........v1.01.
Whatever I did hard reset or pull out the battery and sim card, the situation still exist.
Does anyone can help or else my stuff be a piece of iron .
Did you upgrade the radio stack only?
if yes...you can't just upgrade the radio, try to upgrade again with full ROM (OS+radio+ext ROM), it'll work, don't panic...
My XDA2 is dead
Since I have had full rom upgrade however only has the radio been upgraded. When I going to find out what problem was there my xda2 was initiating reset itself then deaded.
Hey guys, ive been reading many threads regarding issues with the sx56, but after going through most of them, it seems ive been left with more questions. Anyway, my problem is , first of all the reception sucks, signals drop every now and then and i hate saying "sorry? ur breaking up" now from what ive learnt so far from most of the posts is that this "signal" issue is due to the radio stack. My siemens sx56 is running:
Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003
Model No.: PW10B1
ROM version : A.30.09.ENG
ROM date : 01/01/04
Radio Version : A.33.02
Protocol Version : 1.3.3
now, i have been thinking that maybe i should try downgrading the radio stack while still using ppc2003 , but ive seen many posts in which people have bricked their phones due to downgrade.
Another thing is i forgot what was the default radio version before the ppc2003 upgrade (as i think the signal strength was somewhat better prior to this upgrade) So just to be on the safe side, could any of you recommend me which radio stacks i can use? the ones i see on LumpiStefans site are:
RSU Version 3.23
RSU Version 4.16
RSU Version 4.21
RSU Version A20.10
RSU Version 6.24.20
RSU Version 6.25.02
from what i have figured the A20.10 might be the one which was originally installed in the phone when it came with ppc2002 just a guess since there are no other versions above which has an A in the start.But would downgrading kill my phone?
Now the next problem is the volume problem, that INCREASING ring is quite stupid, ive tried disabling the PDA volume and let the phone volume on full, the increasing ring problem goes away but it raises another problem of JUST ONE RING thats it, it just doesnt keep on ringing, just rings once and then goes silent. Do tell me if this is also a radio stack problem or is there any solution for it.
And yeah , finally, is windows mobile 5.0 any good? is it better than the windows mobile pocket pc 2003? and will it work on the sx56? in fact, are there any other OS besides ppc2002-ppc2003 which would work on sx56?
Thanks.

The A20.10 and the 6.xx Version should work on your phone, cause it's a PW10B-Model....
Flashing of Radio Stack is everytime little bit danderous like all flashing.
If the process doing fine, there should be no problem. I would do removing the sim and doing a hardreset before flashing the radiostack....

This is an issue of the A30.0x ROMs. If you're going to use the 4.01.12 then there won't be the increasing sound problem.....

There is no WM 5.0 available for the Wallaby devices. Newest, but in my eyes really buggy ROM Version is WM2003 Second Edition....
Only othe rOS running on the Wallaby is Linux, but until now it's not running as complete, as you can use your phone and all the other functions....
Stefan
thank u for the reply stefan! just a few more quick questions:
1. How do i soft/hard reset? iam sorry iam new to pocket pc's.
2. The ROM u mentioned ,4.01.12, does it have any bugs i should be aware of?
3.Which radio stack do you think is better? the 6.xx or A20.10?
4.How do i install the radio stack and the rom? i downloaded the radio stack ZIP file and the rom is being downloaded. The radio stack zip file has no WIN32 executable file. Do i need to copy it over the phone ? how?
5. Should i install the rom first or the radio stack?
Thanks.
1. Softreset is pushing your stylus once in the little hole on the left side at the bottom.
For Hardreset you have to unscrew your stylus and push twice in the very little hole on the right side at the bottom.
2. The 4.01.12 has like all other WM2003 for the Wallaby the problem that under certain circumstands the sd-card will be formatted. I have used WM2003 for about 2 weeks and had this problem once.
3. Don't know which one is better. Never used one of them cause i have a PW10A-Model
4. You have to put the files in one folder on your SX56 and run the exe directly on the device. Pay Attention to have enough power....
5. It depends on you.....
Stefan
ok this is weird... i upgraded my rom to 4.01.12, after the O2 Screen, normal setup procedure comes.. the thing which bothered me was when i clicked on DEVICE INFORMATION..it is now showing model PW10A-MODEL whereas its a PW10B model,says so on the sticker, and the radio stack is still A.33.02 :S
its working though signal problems are still there... i tried the A20.10 and 6.xxx radio stack versions but they dont wanna upgrade , they give messages like "upgrade failed or retry". Should i try other RSU versions like 4.21??
or maybe i need to try that sd-bootloader method? if so, how?
ok you can ignore my previous post about radio stack, i guess i found the solution.
Radio stack upgrade only works if you copy the 4 files of any radio stack archive to the WINDOWS ROOT FOLDER OF YOUR WALLABY DEVICE!
copying to a seprate folder or anywhere else results in 1% hangup or upgrade failed messages. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU COPY THE FILES TO THE WINDOWS ROOT FOLDER OF THE DEVICE . I just upgraded the radio stack to 6.24.00, lets see if it solves my the problem of bad and breaking up signals.
I still havent found out why my wallaby shows PW10A though :roll:

This depends on the ROM used. PW10A is static in the ROM. If you want it, I'm sure I can make a ROM where it's Type is PW10F .....
Stefan
its the \WINDOWS folder.
And the ROM i used was 4.01.12.
By the way, that 6.24.00 RSU kicks butt! havent came across any signal problems at all. Thanks a lot stefan! this forum rules! :lol:
and do let me know about this model version problem, do i need to install any other ROM which will display the correct model version i.e PW10B ??
Got fustrated
I hat the 4.01.16 ROm with 6.02 RSU, I've tryed to upgrade to 6.25.02, copy all files to Windows and the Upgrade to startup, but I kept at 1%, do a reset and after 10 minutes I got an error, now my phone is off, I cannot turned on, in settings I still had version 6.02 of RSU, If I use the Phone icon in Control Panel it says the fhone is off, turn it on and try again and there's the wait icon in the windows.
How can I restore my settings?, perhaps I tryied to updagre with poor storage space, the MS Voice Command eated allmost all RAM and I had to increase it, also I left the SIM while upgrading, any help will be wellcome.

Thanks
Yes
Yes, The solution was to put all files on the windows folder and execute the update program from that location, the procedure continues to 100%, and then, I think it reset my machinne, and when it boot again I got the new RSU installed and the phone was able to turn on again, automatically.
Good Luck

can you tell me whcih version of RSU you used?
I have PW10B1 model and I load the XDA-Developers ROM Version 1.1 but I still have problems with RSU..I tried almost all RSU from ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/ but no succees...
if you have the same model maybe you can send me by email your RSU version...please!
my email is [email protected]oo.com
I have 6.25.02
I'm using the 6.25.02 version, the very same files that had failed with then 1% problem, the trick was no to put anything in the starup folder, do not soft reset before the procedure.
Simply navigate to your Windows folder with any file explorer and execute the update program. Give it time to finish, ensure that the procedure reach 100%.

I just did this but when I'm starting at 1% the status bar is disappearing and it seems that is doing nothing...is this normal?
Did you had the status bar until 100%?
Perhaps you have a wrong ROM for that RSU
Remember that you must have the rigth ROM for a given RSU, all Win2003 require RSU version 6.x, if you hace downgraded the ROM you'll need an older RSU.
Sorry
Yes, I saw my status bar reach 10%, 20% and so on, ultil it reach 100%

Hi,
I have been having major issues since buying a Vario II on T-Mobile.
I am on my 3rd Vario II handset.
The 1st was returned due to it not returning from standby.
The 2nd had the same issue but also had some keys that did not work.
When the 3rd arrived, it too had the standby issue so I decided to go to mobile 6 with it. It worked well for a few days until I decided to upgrade the radio. Since that I have had nothing but trouble.
I have tried loads of radio stacks 1.24, 1.27, 1.38.10, 1.38.11 and the 1.40.
For some reason the signal stays at (!) most of the time and I had to switch the handset off and on again a few times to get a signal....It is as though it is in flight mode constantly.
The good news is that it no longer has the standby issue.....pity that as a phone it is completly useless!
Before I return the handset I was wanting to flash the original ROM. I spotted that http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
has the UK T-Mobile ROM however I get Error 260: Update Error when trying to install this ROM.
Can anyone help? I love the phone when it works but it seems that I am going to have to get rid of it
Thanks
Aidan
go back and read the wiki some more and look for SSPL...
Most probably you have a >=1.11 based bootloader and are trying to update with a <=1.09 RUU.
Take the NBH from the rom and use RUUwrapper to flash it.
I'm awaiting my 3rd vario II from T-Mobile.
1st- came up with a no gsm error by itself (unrepairable, as spl 1.09 and no KITL)
2nd- screen problems and buzzing noise. Sent this back within a week of receiving it.
I just hope I get another one with no issues and it works...
From the maker
Maybe you can get the original shipped rom from the website of the maker of your phone. Or if T-mobile's website has a forum, you could possibly look there. As an example, HTC is the maker of my phone and they offer the Cingular shipped rom for download. It's worth a try.

Gotta ask, What ROM have you flashed to the device? If you havent tried a newer ROM (the latest HTC rom is good if you dont wanna go WM6) i suggest you give that a go first.
It's very strange what you're having. I mean this is your third and it is not working.
It might be a bad reception you have or software related issues. Many people here have your device and no complains except the ones who bricked their devices while flashing. If I were you I'd do more readings to either help you figure out the problems or go back to original ROM.
Or maybe its a certain app that your installing that is causing the problem.
Any chance of an app list?
S.K.

(A)If you wanna get rid of it..you may send it to me would like to have another one..
I have tried 3 flavours of WM6 ROMS, Live, Black and Duttys. Due to the problems I have had, I have been running them without any other applications.
I tried to flash using RUUWraper.exe. I extracted the NBH for T-Mobile ROM I downloaded from Wiki and placed it in the same folder as the RUUWraper.exe and started to flash it. It got to 13% and then it failed. I ended up flashing Black 2.0 again to recover it.
I also noticed in Wiki that there is a procedure for reseting the radio stack. I have tried to do as it suggests, using MTTY.exe and using the following instructions
password 0000000000000000
set 1e 1
erase a0040000 c80000
erase a0cc0000 c80000
erase a1940000 640000
set 1e 0
However, my device does not like the password string and complains that it is the incorrect password.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Flash original rom and exchange this phone, it's a faulty unit.
Be extremely careful when flashing radio.
Unit is in being repaired.
Why do you say be careful when upgrading the radio? Is it possible to break the radio?
Thanks

anything can be broken... but it just so happens the radio can cause catastrophe if it fails
Just got done with a Cingular Rep with the same issue (radio going dead all the time) Turns out its an issue with the SIM card wigging around in the phone. The test I tried was this:
1) reboot phone after removing batt and SIM
2) LEAVE PHONE on table. Do not move it.
3) test phone for a while send/receive txt msgs phone calls
4) pick phone. Move it around. Rotate it in all directions move it up and down.
5) retest connectibity.
6)if it busts remove batt and see how easily the SIM moves around in the socket.
Hi,
im currently running the following setup:
phoenix 2.51
radio 1.71
hard spl 1.22
with o2 as service provider in germany.
since some flashing and testing i discovered that after a few seconds of speaking i get massive interferences in the call. my calling partner cant understand me, but i can hear him.
i already flashed back to 6.1 wwe official rom but the error still persists.
does anybody have ideas which could help me?

Try a different radio, eg 1.65.28.25. Works very well, and low power consumption to boot.
use other radio rom
I had the same problem.
Many noises, people on the other side couldn't hear me as well as dropping line.
I also tried different combination in spl/rom/radio (also restoring original spl/rom/radio).
I solved by sending phone to service reparing (warranty).
I don't know exactly what they did since ther was no physical repair but they said they only upgraded something (which sounds strange to me since ther's no official upgrade for my country from HTC) but now it works fine.

So, what's the build number of ROM and also radio number? If it is one not on the board, any chance of dumping the ROM and posting it?

It seems to be the "standard" configuration...
But now on the splash screen there's no more "Niki pro" trace...D 1.31 as it used to be.
ok... i again tried several configurations and also flashed the complete original rom. the error still is there what can i do now? is there any possibility to format the whole phone except the bootloader?

The radio, SPL and ROM cover the entire phone's OS. The official HTC WWE release 2.09.405.1 has all three in it. Disable the Hardspl (if other than HardSPL 1.22) by flashing the sspl, then flash this ROM. This will return the phone to original state. You might need to do this if you need to send the phone back for warranty service.
I'm going to send my phone to service again because I got my problems back...because I definetly think I got some "hardware" problems...
If I shake my phone some metallic noises can be heard inside, did you try something similar?
any news on this topic? i still cant use my niki.... im still receiving massive intereferences when calling since my flashing orgy. how to put it back to a fully OEM state without any mods?
nothing? will i really have to send my phone to the service ..... please not, i damaged one of the guarantee seels (back of the phone, right to the camera) mit the pen once....

*push* still not working
Apologies for the new thread.
I bought a HD2 off ebay a few months ago and have a had numerious problems using it as a phone, goes from 4 bars to none every couple of mins cuts off mid call, basically doesnt work inside the house. I called HTC support & they took the serial number then told me it was a "demo" phone and unsupported, I went to the website to see if I could download a ROM update but my serial number was not accepted trying to download any of the roms.
It was running 1.66.405.2 ROM
So, using a serial number off here I downloaded the 3 roms off the HTC website and tried to install them everytime getting the "Invalid Vendor ID" error. I then installed HSPL3 then tried to install one of the 3.14 ROMS using the SD card route, it got to about 2% then rebooted with the error "Software update failed, please try again" and when i go to Bootloader it shows "SPL-3.03.0000"
Anyting I can try to get this back up? even if its just to give to the kids for playing music / videos!
Is it worth going down the goldcard route?
Regards
Paul
its just possible that you may be stuck, with goldcard the only option.
You made two mistakes.
firstly, using hspl to run a 3.14 rom leads to instability and memory problems. You cant do it that way with 3.14.
secondly, flashing the 3.14 rom from sd card was a double bad move, because 1 - its not for your device, and 2 - the fact that hspl is there lets it skip the warning initially and update the spl to 3.03.0000, which wouldn't have happened if hspl wasn't there.
You now need to find the correct stock rom for your device to downgrade spl 3.03.0000. Normally i would say find a 1.42 or 1.66 rom, (for the correct carrier if rom locked, or for HTC if not)
You didnt say which 3.14 rom you used (noob omission, lose a point ) se we cant yet rule an area out. for example, if it was the wwe htc 3.14, then we know the phone is branded (pretty likely if its a demo)
ALternative to trying every 1.66 rom you can find, is goldcard. That will allow the 3.14 rom of your choice (or indeed any stock rom) to flash no problems, hspl not required.
Yeah you learn by your mistakes!
Think I eventually got sick of the thing cutting off it was about as much use as a brick as it was! & HTC support were about as much help as hammer! Told me it was an old model & I should consider upgrading!
I've tried 1.43, 1.48, 1.66 all off the HTC website, went through all the other carriers as well entering my serial number in with no luck. The ROM i used was
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship this is what was on it before I ran the update.
Os Version - 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.81)
Manila Version - 2.5.19211619.0
ROM V - 1.66.405.2
Rom Date - 1.11.10
Radio Version - 2.07.51.22.2
Is there anyway to find out who the carrier would be from the serial no?
only by trying to download every rom for every carrier for every region, and theyre not all on teh website,,,,
goldcard would be your best bet.
Is there any way to create a goldcard when you can only get access to the bootloader on the HD2?
The steps outilined in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642486
3:Get the SD card's Serial number & Make the Gold Card
--a: Unplug your HD from the PC and Plug it back in select ACTIVESYNC on your LEO
--b: Run PSAS, Calculators/Generators > Generate HTC GoldCard >
--c: Select LEO from the Drop-down box
--dress "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device"
--eSAS should see all the drives on your HTC Leo/HD2. Make certain the correct size disk is sellected. For example, I inserted a 512MB SD card so - Beneath the (CID) box you should see something like " Disk Nr.: 04 - Disksize 512 MB"
--f: Now that the correct disk is selected, press "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD"
--e: you should see "Done writing SD Card to WINCE Device.
I get the error message "could not open connection, device connected?"
When I turn on the phone all I get is the bootloader menu page!
Resolved
Ok its now sorted,
I bought PSAS and made a goldcard using my old HTC touch. I then installed the 1.66 rom before updating to 3.14
I still have the same phone reception problem, would it be worth trying a different radio to see if that would fix the reception problems?
Thanks for all the help and advice.
Paul
you can't change the radio when running 3.x, because there is no hspl to allow it, sspl can't flash radios and goldcard is for stock roms.
So I'd need to goldcard it back to 1.66 or such then try a few radio roms to see if it will fix the reception problems? Whats the chances a new radio would resolve it?
