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 can't keep a signal connection with my SX 56 on Cingular. I soft boot and I can send and receive calls but after a while I have no signal and It won't work it again until I soft boot.
I tried running the band switching tool but when I start it it just says ERROR under "current" and does noyjing else.
Starts are
ROM: A.30.09 ENG - 01/01/04
Radio Version: 6.24.00
Protocol 324e4
HELP!
TIA!
Mike
i have exactly the same problem. i have been searching google, i couldn't find any solutions.
the only thing that you can do is to turn off the phone and turn it back on, (click on the signal icon to turn it off) that case you don't need to soft boot it everytime.
if you found a better solution, please tell me.
thanks
good luck
:wink:
before updating I have same problem, but now everything is ok and it's connecting by itself
ROM: 3.04.00 ENG (WM2K3SE)
Radio: 6.25
how do we obtain a WM2K3SE version?
where did you get that OS?
thanks
if you do'nt need surfweb via gprg just ask your operator to turn it off.
that's all
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 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
I've got an early, black X01HT (originally 1.04 radio I think) I unlocked running WM6 Black Satin, hard SPL and the 1.50 radio. It works great in Japan with the CAB that adds the Softbank connection.
But, I'm in the US now and my American (Cingular) SIM gives me the SIMLock page which is likely caused by Welcome.exe. Replacing welcome.exe gets rid of the SIMlock page but it still refuses to get on the network. With the Softbank SIM it roams just fine.
Has anyone successfully had both the Softbank data connection installed and plugged in a non-Softbank SIM? Or do you re-flash every time you travel? Any tricks?
Thanks!
