I made a BooBoo!!!. Earlier this week i installed the XDA-ROm upgrade V1.2. Everything worked excellent. This morning, I installed the O2 phone upgrade version 4.2. Well you gussed it. My phone doesnt work anymore. The PDA is fine but the phone has no signal.
HELP!!!!! What do i do?

It sounds like your Radio band got changed some how, so see it you can change it back from the boatloader.
To enter the bootloader hold the power button and soft reset. Once you're in bootloader mode press the Calendar button. HTH
My Phone still doesnt work
I tried going into the bootloader and assighned the band to 1900. No luck.
Where can I get the old T mobile radio stack so that I can restore my baby the way it used to be?
HELP!!!

You can get the original T-Mobile from the below site:
http://www.t-mobile.com/products/handhelds/pocketpc/downloads.asp
But if I were you I'd go with the T-Mobile WM2003 Test ROM the below site.

Also you can find the nk.nbf here if you want to do an SD card install.

I've just received an XDA2 that is locked to the O2 network.
I need to use a UK Vodaphone PAYG Sim in the XDA.
I've run xda2unlock but it tells me that the phone is allready unlocked.
Except, when I use my Voda sim the XDA still wants me to input a code into the SIMlock box!
Any ideas as to what the problem could be?
what do you mean ?
when you softreset your device and it want a code to do anything but
call alarm and such ?
because thats not a simlock code thats just the sim code
You probably followed the xda2unlock link from the front page of www.xda-developers.com into the wiki pages. In the wiki there is still the old version 1.2 of the tool, which doesn't seem to work on Radio 1.10 or so. At least on my UK O2 XDA2 I had the same behaviour as you described.
The good news is: there is a new version that does indeed work (at least, for me it did). Please go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963 where you will find version 2.2 of the xda2unlock tool. This is a program that runs on the PDA itself. It does not require the hard reset or the bootloader mode.
Hope this helps ... Kai
PS: I have updated the 2 wiki pages, to include links to version 2.2, too.
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:

Could you specify Windows root folder?
is it \Windows\ or just \ ??????

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.

please let me know if you find the solution...I have the same problem
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%.
Good Luck

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%

I am trying to update to WM6 on my G4, evertime i use the update utilty tool and I get to the "verify that you want to update the ROM version" I cannot see the replacement rom,
what am I doing wrong?
I see:
Model ID wizard
model version 1.2.0.0
language english
to
model version wizard
image version (nothing its blank)
language WWE
any idea what I am doing wrong?
I have tried several Rom packs from here but get the same on all
Its not possible to upgrade to wm6 with a CID locked phone.Read and follow the SoftSPL or HardSPL method posted as stickies in the G4 sub-forum.
yep, i used the unlocker, after downloading the tutorial here i saw where I was going wrong, now have the new Rom updated and working well, except.......
No data or internet connection, all other functions work, bluetooth, wireless phone sms etc but cannot connect to internet or send recieve mail. just get "cannot connect with current connection settings" message. it used to be the 02 software, still running an the same 02 sim which works fine in my other phone, either I am missing something on settings for the new rom. using the Mfrazzz wm6 Rom
any ideas?
You need to set up the GPRS settings for your carrier,get them from O2 or check out this link:-

Plz someone know if the hardware method (pin shorten ) flashing ROM will work with my SoftBank X02T (TG-01 Japanese)?
Thanks alot!
my download report
whatever I rename the file, .bin or .enc , it is not work in my TO1A device.
when I shorten the pin and reset, the white screen appear ,with the notice of error "file is not available"
SO maybe the method not fit for the T01A device......waiting for the new tools....
i think the softbank version not is like tg-01a version, because when i try use the i try rename to .enc and use the sddl flash my device with no erros, but after the flash complete and device restart, my tg01 dont start, no screen, no nothing.
it works. i once used the short pin method with my docomo t-01a phone. it was the debranded orange uk rom. the problem i had was the settings of my email and internet. i went to the shop and they said that even if i set it up manually it would cost me like a roaming device would so i asked them to return my phone to its previous state.
