Hello, my name is Kc and I'm new to these forums. I just purchased a Siemens SX66 on the Cingular network. I noticed that there is a ROM upgrade of version 1.40. I have looked around these forums for info but I'm not really familiar with the lingo so I'm not making much progress on my own. Can someone please help me to understand how to update my ROM for my SX66?
ROM Version: 1.32.10 WWE
ROM Date : 12/17/04
Radio Vr. : 1.02.10
Protocol Vr. : 1337.35
ExtROM Vr. : 1.32.115 WWE
Model # : PH20B1
Any help would be great, thank you much.

Use the first method.
Still a problem.
First off, thank you TheLastOne, but I'm still having a problem. I tried to install the new Dutch ROM but after I click the update it goes to the next screen telling me what version of stuff I have on my phone then it attempts the update, and then brings up a screen telling me that the country ID is wrong. Did I miss something? Also another question, my display seems to be a little wierd as of late, I have a black boarder around the entire display as if the OS isn't set for the right resolution. Is there a way to make it fit the whole screen?
Thanks again.

Figured it out.
Well after a few hours on my phone no longer working I really decided it was time to dig deep and figure it out on my own. I got it up and running with the new Dutch ROM and I'm really happy with it, especially the WiFi, it finds networks much faster now. I have a new question though. I don't use GPRS at all for connecting to the internet, and I have no connections set up. I just want to use WiFi, but I have the annoying 'G' symbol at the top of my PPC. Anyone know of a way for me to get rid of that? Thanks for making this site, and thanks to all the people who contribute. I'm a software developer and you can expect some releases for PPC now that I have one myself.
help with upgrade
its seem that you learn fast so please help me
i also own a cingular sx66 where can i download the dutch rom and how you skip the contry id problem many thank
Did you miss the 2nd post in this thread, seems to have worked for SmearedBlackInk
for mr nobody sunrise swiss
r u missing your mind in the second post it only 1.40 upgrade and not the dutch rom ?????????????
so next time check your post and dont be rude
israel
I'll try to explain
Well it's going to be hard to explain. I used a mix of method 1 and 2 on the page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
The ROM I used can be downloaded here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_DT_WWE_DutchRetail_14000_556_11300_Ship.zip
I tried to use method 1 but it just kept giving me a country ID error, so I nuked my ROM, then tried to install using method 2, but it kept stoping halfway through. I mixed my files a bit and used method 1 and some files from method 2 to form a new install folder and voila it worked.
Wow, I just read that and it doesn't really help at all does it.
I think the real trick is just to wipe your ROM before installing. I'd back it up first though, because it's kind of scary when your phone just sits in serial or usb mode and that's it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
more help
first many thank for all the links
i change the deviceid=1 and pass the first rom but in the second he stuck
and still give me country error can u help me how u mix the two option
israel
Read wiki. Method one says to download the ROM you want, follow by MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP. Unzip MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP into your ROMs folder, and run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe twice and presto...
yop
yes its work many thank as it look a lot better on my first feeling the
wi-fi improve and also the radio bt
hope some more improvement will come in
Can't download MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP
broken link???
Sorry my powers are failing me, did you have a link in mind or was this a general why does not somebody search the whole of the site (as in all posts as well as the ftp site and wiki) to work out which link to that file does not work.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip
broken link???
Well not for me, link works fine, opens up a save file dialog.
I get connection refused whilst trying to connect to....
Unplugged router, connected pc directly to modem, worked fine then!
How are you doing this?
Are you in a ftp program and if so have you logged on with the correct user/pwd.
Are you just clicking the link and you firewall software is refusing the download?
Its a problem on your side, the link works fine for me, as is, as posted by you.
PS do you need an answer in the other thread as well?
I tried to upgrade mine xda with ivan's rom but something went wrong so now i cand upgrade it at all.
Allways i get some country or model id error.
I tried to restore image(which i got from another XDA) but says when i enter bootloader & when i should be asked for rom dump it says:
SD Download
Sections=3
Not allow update
I checked ExtROM version but it says 0.0
Please if u have any solution i would be gratefull
stop complaining and start searching for solution.
hint: use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to bypass the country code error.
helmi_c has packed this kinda utility in this latest rom (in the folder PH20B1).
good luck.
also read the upgrading wiki. what does it say your meant to do before you upgrade? get ur device data. then what does it say to do with that data?
input it into the upgrade file. helmi's newest rom pretty much does this for u if u follow the wiki and the readme that comes with it.
always follow guides TO THE LETTER, or you're gonna screw up your device.
Hi all,
Looked in the wiki for ages and cant find the lastest radio's for the blue angel.

Kind regards,

hi all, i was able to upgrade my radio with WM6 downloading it from te wiki further down the page under
1.15.00 Radio Type I
ftp://xda:[email protected]_I/radio_.nbf
Hi,
I have the SPV M1000 (Himalaya), and phone used to work, then died. Texting worked, but phone didn't. So i used the Orange supported software, but it downgraded it to Win Mobile 2003. Although the phone did work, i prefer WM6 for the rotate screen feature etc.
Anyway, i downloaded a few WM6 roms, but of the 3 i tried, none of them allowed me to use the phone bit of the M1000.
Which WM6 rom should i download to get the phone working okay with my Himalaya ?
I tried C_ShekharAKU7.0c.R40.P24_public, also himalaya_6_1_0_0 file, but i cannot get the phone to work.
Regards,
Andy
I would suggest that either something is wrong with the phone section, or someone has made a mistake when upgrading the radio section of the phone.
The radio upgrade is a seperate upgrade to the ROM. All Windows Mobile roms should have phone support automatically, it is just a matter of getting the right radio working for you.
I am at work and as such I can not provide you any more detail, needlesss to say, use the search function in the top right hand corner of this website, and search in the Himalaya section for radio upgrade.
Cheers
Cheers Jadel, will give that a go now !
Best Regards,
Andy
Hello,
I'm now getting a strange error ! - i downloaded "C_ShekharWM6.1.1cR16.P32_public", but when i try to install i get a "country code" error ! - "ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR N-4-1-N-N".
What does this mean ?
Regards,
Andy
Use HimalayaUpgrade_NoID instead...........!
If you go to the Himalaya Upgrading section, you would have noticed this is the third link from the top "Fix and prevent ROM Upgrading/Downgrading Country ID Errors"
Here is the link, read it all and don't skip ahead, Rom upgrades can brick a device if not done properly.

Many thanks, i'll try that !

Just tried the "himalaya 6_1_0_0" upgrade. Installed okay. But when on main desktop screen i'm getting errors, couldn't open these files : "Screenrotate.exe", "btdwake.exe" and "Phoneservice.exe".
Other than that it works !
Help please.

Dear all Kaiser anchestor,
I have a problem with my Kaiser. I really hope that all of you can help me. Ok? Please....
This is the problem :
At the begining, My HTC Kaiser run so slowly, sometimes freezing (Condition WM 6.1 with it's SPL 1.56)
After I read the same problem in jockyw2001 thread, then I tried to flash My device SPL to 3.28 (with the step in front of that thread and the SPL from that thread too)
Flashing the SPL to 3.28 was successfully and my device run fast now
BUT!!! I can't Enabled my WiFi!
Next, I tried to Re-Flash my SPL to 1.56 again, and it's done successfully. But, the WiFi still can't be enable.
Next step, I tried to downgrade the ROM to WM 6, and WHAT!
I still can't Enable my WiFi!
Now, I'd upgrade to WM6.1 again (official ROM from HTC website). But, the WiFi still can't be enable.
The condition when I enable the WiFi is loading then turn off by itself. What's the problem?
I really need all of your help for this.
This is my Device Information:
ROM Version :3.29.707.0 WWE
ROM Date : 05\07\08
Radio Version :1.65.16.25
Protocol Version : 25.83.40.02H
After upgrade to WM6.1, My Bootloader now is:
KAIS130
SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
I'm stress already. Hope all you may spare some of your time for help me to solve the problem. Thanks before. For more detail, just watch the video that I record when tried to enable the wifi.

Since you're interested in running the official HTC WM 6.1 version on your TyTN II then why not simply run the HTC Upgrade program which will reinstall everything required (SPL, Radio and ROM) in one easy go rather than have to upgrade this and that, bit by bit? If you have an official TyTN II you can get it from HTCs e-Club/Support or you can also download it from the XDA Kaiser Wiki ROM page. Note that my SPL is 3.28.0000 and thats all through the official upgrade path so maybe your SPL has something to do with it? See if the official upgrade installs on your device otherwise you'll have to revert to the correct SPL before trying again. Note that the newest WWE ROM upgrade now also comes with a (slightly) better radio as in my sig. Remember to take your sim and memory cards out before attempting the flash.
***Edit*** Just realised you're running the SEA rather than WWE HTC ROM I'm using so yes 3.29 looks to be the right SPL for your ROM, the rest still applies though.
Hmm...
Sorry Mr Flying Kiwi, I think you didn't read the message completely. I've already re-flash from OFFICIAL ROM WM6.1 from HTC e-Club. But, the same problem. It's not fix yet. I've reflash over than 5 times, downgrade to WM6 over than 2 times. an the result is the same. My WiFi Cannot be enable. I hope you can play the video that i record from the links up there (440kb only), so you will know my problem.
Thanks for your reply Boss!

Use the official upgrade package - not just the rom file

I read it alright but as you've not done it *using the officially supplied HTC upgrade package (not just the ROM file within it from HTC e-Club)* I reccomend you give that a try. No special hard spl version is reqd and as long as you have an official ROM to start with and you're upgrading or reinstalling the same ROM version, it's simply a case of running one file and following the instructions. Once you've got the reflash to run that way and completed the process, simply hard reset and then test your Wifi before installing anything further.

Perhaps the capturing program over Activesync may be interfering with things (but I did view your wmv). What I am sure of is that if you have the correct ROM matched to your device and correctly installed with the right spl and radio, Wifi should work fine. Running the official upgrade is the easiest way to get this but if there is something non-official about your current setup, the upgrade program may refuse to run. Let us know if that happens. It's clear that you didn't do this in the beginning because you ended up with the wrong spl version for your rom so it's time to do it the official 'HTC Customer' way.
Hahaha.... thanks for your information. I'd tried yesterday. And still no response. ugh.... Btw, I've read from another thread (Athena). They said that someone ever got a problem like this. The cause is the WiFi MAC Address is missing/erased? Is it possible? I thought that MAC Address is a serial number of WiFi such as an IP, where saved in WiFi chip/device and cannot be erase. If do so, how to set an MAC address to the WiFi module? Do you have an idea? I'd tried to have a silly search about that address in Registry, but I cannot find any key that sounds about MAC Address. (Mac Gyver maybe?)

I was offering serious advice not pulling your leg. Now, when you say 'still no response yet' - precisely what do you mean (exactly what did you try and what happened)? I've flashed my Kaisers ROM a couple of times now using HTC official ROM upgrading packages and it's gone perfectly fine. As far as the MAC address goes, I know there are ways of changing it (because there is an extremely small possibility that you may end up with two identical MAC adresses on the same network and this will cause problems) but this won't be the culprit in your case. I think (again) the first thing to do is to use the official package (and only that - no additional tools/utilities are reqd) to get everything in order and let us know how that goes and what versions of everything you end up with.
This is the information that appears in my device now after re-upgrade the official ROM from HTC e-Club:
File name : RUU_Kaiser_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.29.707.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
KAIS130
SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
ROM version : 3.29.707.0 WWE
ROM date : 05/07/08
Radio version : 1.65.16.25
Protocol version : 25.83.40.02H
Btw, may i ask a question? I found something strange about a MAC address. Yesterday I'm not intention open the "Wireless LAN" from Settings > Connections > Wireless LAN
In Advance tab, there are Status, MAC, and IP. My Question is is the MAC address serial appears even you didn't enable a WiFi? In my device it's empty.
Btw, bro... I've been search a problem like this in this website. I've found the same problem in Athena thread. They said that the MAC address is missing, but some one make a fix but only for Athena.

Thanks & sorry if i waste your time in solving my wifi problem

That looks right to me but if you haven't yet ran the upgrade file above to flash to ROM you need to do it the official way and try that. If Wifi is still behaving as in your video do a hard reset and try again (before loading any additional software).

In mine it's empty too but if you go back in after enabling Wifi, theres a MAC address in there. I really don't think your problem has anything to do with the MAC address but if you've tried all of the above and still can't get it working, as you appear to have an official setup, it's time to contact Tech support and get them to go through some checks over the phone with you. Maybe someone else has thoughts on this......
Hahaha... thanks. Btw, I have another problems.
I bought this device from other country (Singapore). My friends said, the Singapore HTC can view the device history. They can see if the device already being flash how many times and anything unofficial program such as SPL or radio, then the warranty wil be void. Because, my friends already have such a problem also with his device Dopod U1000 (Even he revert to his original SPL or radio).
I think i should throw this device or sell it out and buy the new one. Hiks...

Doesn't it make sense to at least try what's been suggested first? What have you to loose? The hardware company have no need to know what 'ROM Action' has occurred in the past and who knows what any people you've leant your TyTN II to may have done with it..... They only need to know how it is now and whether it's currently official (ie flashed using the HTC upgrader).

The same problem
Im having the same problem... my wi-fi do not turns on! I have flashed this a lot of times, and sometimes works, sometimes dont.
Does anyone have any ideia about this? im stressed becouse i have the same problem... could anyone tellme a good radio in order to try to solve this issue? thanks
Wi-Fi issues
This has worked for me, dont know if its the same case with you or not.
My device was never able to connect to my Wifi n/w at home. If I went to start -> setting -> connections -> Wifi, it would show my home n/w as available, when I tried to connect to it, the status changed from Available to "connecting" then became available again.
In my home n/w I had access type authentication as WEP keys + Mac address filtering. My device was added to the MAC address list so that was not a problem. The issue was access point authentication which was set to WEP keys type authentication on my router. Once I changed from WEP keys to WPA-PSK (data encryption type TKIP) my WM was able to connect to the router.
I have HTC tytn II and its wifi is not searching any other wifi devices or router even in very close range , but wifi is turning on and the green light is also blinking
So, is there a hardware problem?
I did 3.29 hard spl , hard reset ,hard spl 3.34 , but the result is same.
and in network adapters IEEE 802.1b/g goes down and down in the list of network adapters , please HELP.! and sorry for my bad english
