Sx66 - Tried Radio Upgrade to 1.15, Now screen = Version 2.7 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Good evening all.
I tried a radio upgrade to version 1.15 (as I was having problems with the caller hearing me on the other end - low volume) and read in here that this should help.
I tried this upgrade via bluetooth activesync, and well I don't think that was a smart idea. The unit now only says:
Serial: V2.07
So, I think this is the boot loader mode. Now, have I cooked the device? I don't have a cradle, I assume I need one to finish the operation? Any tricks/tips would be appreciated.
Thanks again!

if you dont have a cradle, how did you upgrade?

you need to buy a cable/cradle that comes with a charger so that you can reflash it. if you can still get to the bootloader screen ur phone is not totally dead yet. since u tried it over BT, it couldnt communicate after it entered bootloader. once you get a cradle/cable you can try to reflash it from the bootlader screen.
hope i helped

Can I just continue the radio 1.15 upgrade?
Can I just continue the radio 1.15 upgrade? Or is there another technique I need.
Also, has anyone else had this 'mic low volume' on GSM problem fixed by updating the radio firmware?
Thanks again!

Unfortunatly I think you'll need to get the cable. Once you do, just install the Radio ROM as before with the device showing serial (though it'll change to usb when you hook it up).
Your phone can't boot because the radio rom is corrupt. The fact that you can see serial is a really good sign. This screen is apparently the recommended method to use for upgrading; it's the one I use.

Sounds like you have a similar issue to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43400
You tried running the upgrade again, maybe with an earlier or the original ROM. Make sure you leave the device in the cradle until the end when it says to take it out and hard reset.
If your needing a ROM, look in the Alpine Upgrade forum, Pug has a post there with four version of the 162 ROM, I'm using the 3rd without issue.

HTC phone will no longer allow a software update.

Since I upgraded to "PDAMobiz_Wizard_Crossbow_AKU3.3_v.3311_G3_onl y"
my HTC will not let me upgrade to anything anymore.. once I run the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" utility for any version of software including the original PDAmobiz file..
the phone will shutdown when it is supposed to but will not restart.
Now if I hit the reset button it will reboot just fine, it will not go to the colored bars but will boot like nothing ever happened.
it seems like it is freezing from automatically restarting.
any ideas?
also.. any ideas why from this version of crossbow I am losing a LOT of incoming calls?
IPL. 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.47.11
OS 3.0.0.0

Thank you guys..
Bootloader mode
Try entering Bootloader mode manually first, then running the upgrade. And from what I have read about the 2.47 radio ROM, that is the culprit of your missed calls.

How do I do that?
Bootloader mode
Power off the phone. Then, while holding down the camera button, power it back on. You should then get the 3 color bars. Connect your USB cable and you should then see "USB" on your phone. Then run the upgrade on your PC as you normally do.
I find when all other upgrade utilities fail the Italian NOID one comes up trumps.

GUYS the camera button did the trick..
when I was trying it earlier it was not working, the trick is that I had to actually shut it down with the off button. (I was just pulling out the battery)
Either way it did it ..
Super thanks guys

Problems updating Radio ROM

Hi all,
I have a Spanish Vodafone P3600. (S300). I've run into problems while updating the radio ROM and several other things.
I've managed to change the SPL, all versions, no problem. Even the hard SPL. The problem arises with almost ALL ROMS and ALL RADIO ROMS. I put the PDA in bootloader mode and I begin the updating process. Well, it stays at 0% all the time, both in PC screen and PDA screen. When I am tired of waiting (more than 30) minutes, then I have to take the battery off. The PDA goes into bootloader and I have to apply the unbrick procedure.
I have only been able to put the FAMAN 3.5 Spanish ROM (WM6) so the PDA works when I unbrick it. However, it does not have RADIO ROM and it shows "no GSM" at boot and obviously I cannot use it as a phone.
Is it broken? Why can't I flash the radio ROM? Somebody with a similar problem?
Thank you all very much in advance.
Best,
Unsolvable problem
Thanks all for the feedback. Pof was kind enough to address the problem.
I ditched the radio bootloader (not the regular bootloader) and a a result I cannot flash the radio. It seems that the phone has to be sent for repair.
"if it works... don't touch it" I should have paid attention to this

no gsm radio problem

hi, i've a big problem, i've upgraded my phone today, because it was a mda3 german locked on t-mobile. but the only way to make the upgrade work was not to upgrade radio, so i didn't put it. so, now the phone has been updated in my language, but when i power on it, it says no gsm. can someone say how can i do please!
Which rom did you flash? What is written after letter R while doing a soft reset?
no r
it does not appear anything, the only thing is that
NO GSM
D 5108.a771la
are you sure it's not a CDMA phone? ( j/k)
try reflashing the old rom. and see if it will go back.
if not...
then you are forced to flash the radio rom to a new version
because as you say it cant detect any if you flashed with the new rom.
but i dont see any relevance to the carrier when upgrading the radios, it's still quadband.
and you're stil using the SAME sim card.
hi, i still cannot reflash the radio of my phone, anyone can help me it always says "NO GSM" !!! PLEASE, HELP ME!!!!
please, tell me also if there is a way to format the memory where is installed the radio. thanks

As far as I know, the only way to 'format the radio stack' is to flash it with a new radio version.
Your original post is too vague as well.
You have a MDA III from T-Mo, that would make it a GSM = good
"only way to make the upgrade work was not to upgrade radio" - This doesn't make sense as the radio ROM is a separate flash from the OS ROM, the two are not part of the same flash code.
You also 'upgraded' your phone. From what to what? We need to know where and what ROM you flashed the phone to and from.
As for the screen showing NO GSM, is this after power cycling the phone by removing the battery? There is a know bug with WM5 and above where the GSM radio stack is not loaded on boot after a power cycle. The workaround is to soft reset the phone after it shows NO GSM.
(Huh, I'm a senior member now? Wonder when/how that happened... )
hi, thank you for answer.
i dont exactly know which os and radio rom were originally, i bought it original but used and the os was modded by t-mobile in deutch. i upgraded it to wm5 a771la ver 5.1.0.8 and the radio 1.15. then the os worked properly but it says no gsm. i know the bug you said me, because i have it on an another mda III of my brother, there after a soft reset i can solve this problem but it says NO RADIO on two lines, there, there is only one NO GMS . i know that the two roms are in two different flash memories infact i can flash and re-flash the os but when i try to flash the radio an error occurs. please, let make me know if these information can help you to solve my problem. thanks!

And what error is appearing? I didn't see it in your original post.
Personally, I'd try this:
Remove the SIM and any SD cards.
Make sure the battery is fully charged.
Put the phone into boot loader mode
Plug it into a XP (Not Vista) machine
Check to see if the OS recognizes the phone. I believe it will show up as some kind of USB device, not a Generic RNDIS device (I don't have my angel handy to check this)
Then run the radio flash program.

HW6515 Phone not working after flash

Hi There,
I have SD flashed my 6515a and I can not get the phone part to work on it, when I press the green call button nothing happens, also the phone status says there is no service,
I know the sim is good as it works perfectly fine on my other 6515a.
I have tried to upgrade the radio stack but can never get it to update via PC.
Any clues Please? I would like to have them both working!
Thanks!
Jeremy
GSM Radio
Go to the asset viewer and select the GSM tab. Look at the first line where it says Radio Present. Does it say yes or no? If it says no, then based on what you have said about not being able to update the Radio ROM I would have to say you have a corrupted Radio ROM. This, unfortunately is irrecoverable in almost all instances. I went through this many months ago and finally had to buy a used 6515a with a broken screen just to get a good motherboard. I even sent mine to PocketPC Techs to see if they could fix it, but they could not and sent it back to me with no charge for looking at it, those guys are really good to work with. HP charges a small fortune for a new motherboard. If you want the other one working, I suggest looking on eBay for one that has a broken screen but the motherboard is good. I got mine for about 50USD.
Bottom line: A corrupted Radio ROM is a corrputed Radio ROM and cannot be fixed if it is truly corrputed.
Radio Present
In the asset viewer it does say the radio is present although everything below that is blank i.e. firmware version, radio stack version, etc...
I tried using the HP radio update but that does not work and I also am currently tring to flash the radio via SD but that does not appear to bo working either...
let me know if anyone has a solution for me!!
Thanks All!

Some folks have had limited success with the Beetles Radio Patch. It can be downloaded from the url listed below. Just download the file, connect your ipaq the way you would to do a normal rom update, then run the file. It will attempt to update your Radio Stack only with the patch. This patch is from HTC the people who actually make the Radio Stack.
