PLEASE HELP!!! i need help upgrade to the New Radio 1.13.00

Please i need help to upgrade to the new radio rom. i have a siemens sx66 from cingular. i tried to upgrade it but i always get an error.

Hi aih1977,
Please read the wiki. Cheers ^^

Hi khngaroo
i did but i still get an error

Same issue here
Hi guys,
Actually, I have the same issue. As far as I could see, the Wiki doesn't address the "123: Radio file checksum error" that I receive when following the directions. I follow the directions for using the downloads which doesn't go, then I use the files from the Siemens SX66 Upgrade as suggested.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

ever thought about reading the other threads ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23814

Lets see the wiki 1.40 upgrade is in the first place a TPYE II upgrade.
Now if you spend sometime and READ the page you will see that there are 2 ways of doing a 1.40 upgrade. One is the whole rom in its type II format the other is just the CE and the radio Type I.
How ever if you don't read the page and think you are got it all worked out then you use the fast option, thats the MA_noID tool (Type II), then download the radio 1.13 which Is a type I but who cares about that any way....then you run the bugger and get a checksum error what the hell have I done now error.
Please correct me if I am wrong so that I can correct the wiki page.

MDAIIIUser,
Yes, I have thought about reading the other threads. What was not obvious to me was that I need to upgrade to the 1.40 ROM to be able to upgrade to the 1.13 Radio. Forgive me if I missed this.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll start over and review all the 1.40 ROM threads.

You dont need to upgrade to CE 1.40 for the radio 1.13.
Just go to wiki and follow the radio upgrade page. It worked for me and many others.
Now if you want to upgrade to 1.40 then do that also on the wiki page, this will however give you the radio 1.12. (unless you read the whole of the page and understand the getting started section of wiki as in how to use fix.bat)

i tried everything can someone set up the files and link it so i can download it. i think im doing something wrong.

Can you click on the link in my signature?

Arg! Lost my post twice.
Anyhow, MDAIIIUser,
Ok. So the 1.40 ROM is not needed. That was my initial impression. I thought you were referring to reading the 1.40 ROM threads.
I also saw that many users were able to upgrade with no problems. That's why I was suprised when I received the checksum error after reading the 1.13 Radio threads and exactly following the Wiki several times before I gave up. I must have missed something because it seemed like the Wiki steps should've worked no problem.
I haven't found anyone posting that has upgraded the radio on a Siemens SX66 yet. I'm wondering if it's Siemens-related which is why I jumped on aih1977's thread (sorry ).
I'll start over and review the threads and directions, etc.
Thanks for your reponses.

so you are saying that
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.13_Upgrade
does not work for you as you have a SX66.
This could be due to the fact that your device has no camera and the header of the rom is for a camera.
I have never read about having to fix the header for a radio upgrade, its a first for me but I can learn.
Please confirm
1) By following the link above I get an error
2) the error I get is the following
3) My rom at the moment is.

The new Radio ROM does work on a SX66 if you folloe the directions. If you have an issue use the upgrade files that you used to upgrade 1.40. Your going to get an error the 1st go around but then it will run smoothly the 2nd try.

MDA,
I'm running 1.13.00 radio on my SX66...
-Chris

Dear MDAIIIUser,
Correct me if I am wrong. All this while, from what I've read through the forum, my understanding is that MA_NoID can only be used to upgrade type II ROMs. If so, I must confess that I've upgraded my radio to 1.13 (type I) with MA_NoID... And it worked... Any clue?
Cheers ^^

Ok i just want someone to help me with upgrading the radio and if someone out there upgraded the radio please link it or pm me with the files that you used to do it.
Thank you.

MDAIIIUser,
Okay, I was able to get the radio stack upgraded to 1.12. Here's what I did. I'm sure it's pretty ugly and probably not the easiest way but:
Followed the Wiki again with errors as follows:
After step 7, running BaUpgradeUt I received the "Error 100: Model ID Error".
After step 5 of the second set of instructions, I received: "Error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error". No joy.
So I then took the iMate 1.40 ROM image and extracted the files, deleted the ms_.nbf and nb_.nbf and ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. It errored with Error 120: Country ID Error. The phone was still in USB mode so I reran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again and it successfully updated the Radio to 1.12. I tested the phone calling my voicemal with no problems.
I then replaced version 1.12 with the 1.13 version. I ran BaUpgradeUt.exe and recieved the "Error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error" (this is using the files from the 1.40 ROM with the 1.13 radio file). I then tried running MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again. The device software update utility showed no information in the from or to sections of the dialog box. It doesn't throw the phone into USB mode and after a minute or so it offers congratulations thinking it upgraded the phone.
I then went back to the 1.13 Radio files I downloaded and ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. I received the Error 100: Model ID Error".
I reran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and received an error that it coundn;t find the ruu.conf file so I renamed the htcruu.conf and htcruu.dll ruu.conf and ruu.dll. I reran it and it would attempt to update the radio, then timeout. I received a communications error (which I didn't record) then tried to soft reset the phone. It was stuck in USB or Serial mode. Cold boot no worky either.
I then reflashed back to 1.12 successfully. I will try to update to 1.13 later tonight or tomorrow.
Here is my phone info. before the update:
Siemens SX66 Cingular
Model No: PH20B1
ROM Date: 01/21/05
Radio Version: 1.02.10
Protocol Version: 1337.35
Ext. ROM Version: 1.33.110 WWE
Thanks for the responses. I'm sure that there's an easier way but I'm happy to be at least 1.12.

Edited: Type on filenames.

God are we having fun.
And Boy am I lost.
This is what I can work out.
You flashed the i-mate rom 1.40 radio 1.12 got errors and re ran it it was fine. Thus you have a 1.40 with radio 1.12
Now you are stuck. you want to flash the radio 1.13 (Type I) using the wiki info and you get error that tells me that you have the wrong device. The file is for a device with a camera you dont have that.
You try the MA_tool which wont work as its for type 2 and gives you a checksum and your stuffed again.
You seem to be the first person that has come up agaisnt this thus we need to upddate wiki with new info.
I have a problem with this as the 1.12 was a type II to Type I convert that I made, nobody had a problem with that before.
So as I asked you to confirm what you have and you have not done that I will ask again.
Please confirm

1) By following the link above I get an error

MDAIIIUser,
Sorry for the confusing post. I wanted to provide some detail. Answers are as follows:
1) Yes.
2) ..."Followed the Wiki again with errors as follows:
After step 7, running BaUpgradeUt I received the "Error 100: Model ID Error". After step 5 of the second set of instructions, I received: "Error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error".
3) Siemens SX66 Cingular
Model No: PH20B1
ROM version: 1.33.10 WWE
ROM date: 01/21/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.33.110 WWE
I believe that I don't actually have the 1.40 ROM. From the directory in whcih I decompressed the iMate 1.40 ROM (PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200.exe) I removed the ms_nbf and nb_.nbf files and left the radio_.nbf file, which I believe will only flash the radio, then updated.
Is that less confusing?
Thanks,

aih1977,
We are actually trying to determine what the issue may be to update your radio on the SX66. Hang in there!

Help upgrading O2 english XDA IIs

I have been all over this site and can not find a upgrade that works. I have rom version 1.31.00 WWE, Rom date 12/13/04, Radio 1.06.00 protocol 1337.38 extrom 1.31.139 WWE, PH20B. I am looking for a simple complete upgrade download. I have been reading all the instructions and I still have no idea what I am doing. I have download a number of version and they all come up with a language error. Sorry I just don't have a clue.

The Best and trouble free has been posted before, Look for the:
O2 Asia 1.4 ROM it comes with Radio 1.12 which you can update after.
Couple of points to help you on the way:
1- if the program (ba_o2asia_14000_923_11200_ship.exe) gives you device error, you need to extract the files and replace (BaUpgradeUt.exe) by (M)aUpgradeUt.exe) which is available on this site as well.
2- if you get device error don't disconnect just re-run MaUpgradeUt.exe again
it took me around 20min and my XDAiis is running like a dream
Hey ..... GOOD LUCK .....

I have change MaUpgradeUt.exe but is O2 mini.
Can not update .
What solution to do it.

O2 XDA IIs Optus Aust - ROM Upgrade error

Hi guys, I hope you can really help me out.
I have an O2 XDA IIs which I just tried to upgrade. Now during the install it comes up saying "ERROR 114" saying that there was an error installing the upgrade.
Now my problem is the phone just sits there with Serial 2.07 on the screen .... i've tried running the upgrade program again (the screen where it says what rom you have, and what you are upgrading to, it's blank in the current rom) but I still get the same error every single time.
I'm trying to upgrade to;
CE Image version 1.40.00
Extended Image Version 1.40.923
Radio Version 1.12.00
Can someone please give me some ideas as to what I can do to get this working again?
Many thanks
Damien

sounds like the country id error, have you tried the MaUpgradeUt_noID file???
this usually fixes this. 8)

Help XDA2s CID preventing me from upgrading with official rom

Hi recently aquired an XDA2s from a friend. However, the firmware has been modified. Would like to restore it back to the original firmware as the SDIO card is not functional. Used the Official ROM, but gave a Country ID error with my device and refused to upgrade.
Have done some homework read the instructions as shown on this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=228852.
However, i am stuck halfway. Here is my Devicetype.txt file description. Only managed to get the Devicetype as PH20B, Language ID = WWE. The rest of the info I can't really make out.
Also, when i use the file : xda2nbftool -t -x,
it gave a warning for ms_.nbf
The rest of the files such as nk.nba and radio.nbf were ignored. See pic.
How do i get the rest of the hex addresses for the radio and nk files ?
Could someone help to generate the final nbf files for me or help advise ?
The Official ROM file versions are here :
English ROM
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Date: 03/10/05
Radio: 1.12.00
Protocol: 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.40.923 WWE
MMS: 2.0.0.21
BT: 1.0.0 Build 3900
Can anyone help ?

More information on my existing XDA2s firmware :
ROM Version : 5.04.09.WWE
ROM Date : 11/02/06
Radio Version : 1.15.00
Protocol Version : 1337.45
ExtROM Version : (Left Blank)
Never really heard of ROM Version 5.04.09.WWE. And SDIO Card is not detected. Would like to downgrade to the official ROM as i suspect that the SDIO Drivers are not installed in the existing ROM.
Also, i tried using XDAtools\OSimagetool to copy another XDA2s firmware to this XDA2s. But it failed to write generating an error in the pic. Status of Activesync is connected.

I'm afraid you have read the wrong homework. Those directions are for the Himalaya & Andes, not the angel.
What OS is on the phone now? That will help point to the correct directions needed to reflash the phone.
Flashing to 2003 from WM5 or 6 will vary depending on if the extended ROM has been resized, etc.
Check the angel getting started in the wiki (It's working now)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted

Oh ... thanks for pointing that out. To answer more questions :
It's running on a generic Windows mobile 5.0. I have a feeling that the Ext rom is already corrupted as the gsm portion of the phone is not functioning properly. I'll do a readup and revert my results. Thanks.

here's the thing. if you have a problem with the CID... all you have to do is find the exe file here named MAUpgradeUt_NoId.exe... use that instead of the exe provided in your Official Rom, i guess that would be WM2003se you are installing.
afaik, extrom havent have a thing to do with the GSM.

Thanks for the reply.
Thing now is that i am trying to downgrade from wm2005 to wm2003 (o2 official asian rom v1.42) But then looks like i am trying in vain.
Tried to do what is in the directions for wm2005->wm2003 by setting it to bootloader mode, doing a hardreset and using maupgrade_no_id with the official nk.nbf
But then it hangs while the check is being done. The xda2s screen shows v2.08 and serial. It changes to usb once the usb cable is plugged in.
Is there any other method i can do to downgrade it ?

Having problems updating radio on SX66 (Blue Angel)

Hello, I upgraded my Blue Angel (SX66) to WM6.1 last week. I wanted to upgrade the radio from 1.02 to 1.15 but I have not been able to. I keep getting Error 101 (disconnect).
The device information shows the following info about my device:
Operator version : WM6.1PPC Phone
ROM version: 6.141WWE HT4.20
ROM date: 09/18/08
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protoco; version: 1337.32
ExtROM version: Black Kernel
Model No: PH20B1
Also, the RUU mode on my device shows BlueAngel and by USB mode is v2.06. I checked the beginners' section on this site and tried every possible trick (bootloader mode, modifying the country, etc). So, far nothing has worked. I would appreciate some guidance on this matter. Thanks!

remember the folder that you use when you upgrade to the latest ROM? Copy that same older on a different location on your PC and then open it and just delete the nk.nbf file and replace it with the latest radio rom which is 1.15.00 for BA and then run the same process, make sure the activesync is not running and your BA is in bootloader mode. Hope this helps.

Still having problems updating radio on Blue Angel
Thanks for the reply. However, that is still not solving my problem. I getting ERROR 101. CONNECTION ERROR. I tried the BAupgradeut in Bootloader mode. and I get the same problem. I read about a utililty called ROMupdate11a.exe and tried it, but it is still not working.
I wish I would've realized how difficult this process is. I would've made an effort to buy a Blue Angel device w/ updated firmware.
PS: I have read the Blue Angel beginners' section and the wiki and tried (to the best of my ability) to try all the tricks listed there. This is why I hope someone out there has experienced and solved the same problems I have.
Thanks again. I will keep looking, and hoping for a solution.

have you tried MAupgrade_UTL??? Ok like this, try to revert back your BA's ROM to wm2003se first, then do the Radio upgrade and afterwards upgrade to the latest ROM

I think I know why I cannot upgrade radio
I suspect that my Blue Angel's BIOS is damaged. I used the GetDeviceData to find get exact ROM for my PH20B1 device (see attached). I used to get PH20B1 on the DeviceData.txt file. Now I get a lot of garbled characters in the section where the model # used to be. Also, when I go to Device Information (under the WM6 settings section), I see the same garbled characters where the Model No section is.
I also cannot find the Country section. This may also explain why my phone fails to recognize any ROMs (even those flagged as WWE --- from the USA). That is not good, I think.
My fear is that my device will not accept any ROM updates (or downgrades). Does the above make sense? If so, have I messed up my Blue Angel for good or is there still hope? Thanks.

Never mind, problem solved. Thanks!!!
Hello again. I just wanted to let you all know that my Blue Angel is OK (finally). A friend of mine, who also has an SX66 successfully applied the Radio 1.15 ROM upgrade (after he unlocked my device). I am all set now. Thanks for your assistance and guidance.
