Strategies for dealing with radio ROM update 114 errors
I had this problem last week and recovered from it. At first it looked pretty bad, nothing seemed to work. I looked the Internet up and down and in most forums, including this one, people agreed that nothing could be done about error 114, the mainboard of the BA needed replacement, etc.
When I finally did fully recover from this situation, it was from a combination of measures that I took and as I don't really know which one actually did the trick, I'll try to describe all of them even though not all will probably apply to others. Another problem is that I probably won't be able to remember them all, but anyway, here goes:
1) I downloaded the latest full official ROM update from site of the carrier this phone was branded for, in this case T-Mobile. It included a radio ROM, albeit version 1.13.0, not 1.15.0 which is the one I had been trying to flash. I decided it would be best to go back to that official version first.
2) I had been trying to do the radio ROM upgrade from a Macintosh (OSX) under Virtual PC. I have since done several ROM installations (without the radio part) from the Mac/VPC which worked fine, but since people had observed that radio ROM updates seem to be more sensitive than fiddling with the normal ROM, I decided to fire up my "real" PC, which runs WIndows XP, SP2, with Active Sync 4.5.
3) As others had suggested, I made sure that I had my cradle connected directly to a USB port on the computer; before I had been trying to go trough a hub. I also made sure the cradle was connected to the power adapter.
4) I had unlocked my device before to work with a non-T-mobile SIM card, but since I wasn't sure wether or not SIM/Net lock problems might still interfere with radio upgrades, I took my SIM card out of the unit, as well as the SD card -- trying to eliminate as many potential sources of screw-up as possible.
5) I think I tried to set my BA into as much of a defined state as I could by hard-resetting it and THEN invoking boot loader mode. I don't remember whether or not this was possible as the device was not reacting much to anything at the time.
6) On the Windows PC, I opened Active Sync, then went to Connection Settings and explicitly disabled the USB connection. I then quit Active Sync and invoked the Windows task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to check that no other processes were running. Trying to cut out interference as much as poosible ...
7) I then proceeded to flash the official ROM version, which went flawlessly including the Radio ROM, took less than fifteen minutes in all. To be honest, I don't remember which ROM upgrade utility (BaUpgradeUt/MaUpgradeUt_noID) I used ... sorry. I know I tried whatever was included with the T-Mobile download first.
After that, I verified that everything was working again, then immediately flashed Radio ROM 1.15.0 as I had originally intended. This time it went uneventfully.
Hope some of this helps, I know how frustrated you must be at this point.
Good luck!
thanks a lot

Things were good for a while but now it all has gone to ****s.
My BA is having issues and not only with BT. I have managed to enable big store using exttools.exe and repart_doc.exe. The only issue is that I guess that has wiped the hidden rom where all the preinstall apps were.
To make a long story short, I had reinstalled the original rom, from a rom dump I did right when I got the device, however, the device, even after hard reset does not run the usual set up utilities that it did and install the junk my telco has included. While for the most part this was not a big deal now I realize that some of the fixes were needed.
For example I used to have BT xxx.3500 now I have xxx.3900 all find and dandy but with both versions my BT will not stay up for more than 2 minutes before it drops the connection.
On soft reset I get the following error message.
Cannot find "storage" ( or one of its components) Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available. Bugger
So now the question is - IS there a way of making these apps run and if so, how or is there another fix that can be done. MY BA is bleeding and it is dying and it is pissing me off.
After all the restores I can see the Extended_ROM on the PPC once again and all the apps in it, just can't run any of the darn things.
BTW, as my signature says this is BA from Telus and it is running on CDMA. which btw is missing from the WWE version on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Versions
Any insight would be appreciated.
If I understand everything correctly, you've effectively wiped the Extended ROM and are using it, along with your Storage as one big "persistent storage" folder on your BA, which is what those programs were designed to do. Everything you did, functioned as it was supposed to.
If this is not what you want, then you might try reflashing your device with the last ROM you got from your carrier and see if that restores everything.
I did just that, and I did flash the device with the "virgin" rom which I have uploaded to wiki. But somwhere along the line something just does not jive. While preforming a hard reset the device would normally auto config itself with all the junk that the telco has put on the device including a number of patches and what not. That function does not run anymore, which is what causing me grief. If I unhide the ROM I can see the files that are supposed to run, including the autoexec.exe all there. I try to unlock to copy these files and run them manually but I am not allowed to copy them anywhere. and while I try to use EXTTOOLS.exe to unlock the ROM thing just go south. It says that the ROM is unlocked but I am still not able to copy any of the files from the ROM.
szamot,
there is nothing availble yet for our phones to update them or make them any better...
I can't believe you tried messing with your harrier... just wait a while until sprint releases their update to the ppc6600. (fingers crossed) we should be able to do something then...
all of the roms you see here (so far as far as I know) are for gsm units, and their roms will NOT work with our cdma's. WAIT!!!!!
Hopefully you can get things back to normal.. otherwise your gonna have an expensive pile of nothingness to work with.
good luck.
as i side note wiki has 4 cdma roms.
Actually I uploaded the rom because it seemed to be the newest one at the time.2.04.00 WWE, I also upgraded the BT to xxx.3900 which all worked fine. However somwhere along the line the Ext Rom got screwed, even though I can see it I can't get at it. Not all is lost however I just procured the contents of the rom from a new device, and even though I run all the fixes and updates and patches the PPC still runs like crap. Even hard reset does not get the unit back to its original state.
I'm having some problems with the new k-jam ROM on my US MDA (see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43369), and am considering just going back to the original. I thought I had backed it up first, but apparently I didn't.
Can someone provide instructions on how to do so? I've found the original ROM from another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41348) but the links to the extended ROM don't seem to work anymore.
It appears I need both parts, and instructions on how to get them on there.
Many thanks...
Its definitely an activeSync problem.
I have this ROM on my US T-Mobile MDA and AS works properly over both USB and Bluetooth.
Make sure your ActiveSync is V4.1.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled AS 4.1 multiple times, with no success. During the install process there is a period where it's "updating USB drivers," but it doesn't seem to help.
Turns out it does work, just not on Virtual PC. Though with the previous ROM, it worked fine.
hi..i have a tmobile mda with the rom 2.26.10.x that i didnt know couldnt be cid unlocked...i found out after i upgraded which sux balls.lolz..i have a few questions...
1.What is the best rom i can upgrade or downgrade without bricking my mda...
2.why is the mda wifi reception bad most of the time resulting on always 1 bar for wifis around me...i even tried the wireless b mod.
3.I know your phone isnt dead if bootloader works but do ihave to use an sd with the rom saved on it in order to reflash my mda again...or can i just use an app that installs it via usb while bootloader is on?? <this one im definitely confused on... Please anyone help asap, thanks so much and much blessing
Here's an answer to part of your problem:
As long as you have a USB connection, you can re-flash your phone (provided it's in either the bootloader or connected to your system via active sync 4.1 (I don't know about the beta 4.5 of active sync - which changed the way your PC connects to your phone as I understand it)). You may have to try several different ROMs to re-flash, but generally, I have found that doing the following almost always guarantee's a re-flash:
1) remove the SIM card
2) after every attempt, disconnect the phone from your USB port and then reconnect it
3) between attempts, remove the battery while you are setting up your system (you can't flash a phone w/ a dead battery, so unless you have a way to charge the battery other than the phone, you need to protect the amount of charge you have like it's your lifeline!)
4) I have had more success re-flashing a phone that is in bootloader mode by using the original ROM .exe file instead of trying to extract the files from it and THEN run the update utility.
5) If your phone came w/ a 2.x ROM, I wouldn't try to downgrade it to a 1.x ROM as this has never worked for me. Try flashing it w/ a 2.x or higher ROM only.
Hope this helps (oh, and rumor has it you should use the USB ports on the back of your PC, not the ones on the side or front!)

Hi guys,
I am guessing my problem is the fact that there is something wrong with the devices radio, more the radio rom.
I a while back flashed my dad's KJAM, and it all worked fine, he however has not used the actual phone part of the device since then, and now that he needs it, its not working.
The phone is not in flight mode, and it doesnt ask for a pin, as thats how he set it before I flashed it.
The phone keeps searching for service, and when I try to manually set the network, it keeps comming up with some or other problem.
The phone worked before I flashed it, so I am guessing it is the Radio ROM.
I am thinking of ugrading him to WM6, is this recommended at all? Which thread is best to follow for upgrading him to WM6?
His current details are:
ROM Version: 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM Date: 2/6/06
Radio Version: 02.07.10
ProtocolVersion 413.1.03
ExtROM: 2.16.9.101
Any help will be appreciated.
P.S. I did just try to the radio rom that is on the xda ftp, for the wizard, I downloaded and tried to load the REAL_Radio_2.61.11 ROM, but that does not want to load for some or other reason, it first complained about the radio update util and said I must update or something, the second time I tried it was a communication error. I am using my JASJAR's USB cable, is this a problem at all?
Try to change the radio rom to 2.19 or higher but i recommend you to flash first the 2.19 if that fails then try more higher.. i guess 2.2x and 2.6x something like that... i forgot..
Ok, u got a link for me for those ROMS?
wait a sec..
If you search and read all the stickies thread you might encounter this one your self..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=268031
There at that thread have a varius radio roms to download..
goodluck!..
post the result afterward
Thanks...I didnt see that one...I will have a look...shot for the help...
Ok, ive tried a few different things.
I tried to get it to connect with activesync, but it just doesnt want to work, I have also attempted a hard reset, and activesync doesnt work either.
Before I did a hard reset activesync 'did something', and a message came up saying it couldnt get an IP address from the server, and on the PC activesync came up with some other thing saying it cannot connect to the Windows Mobile Powered Device.
After the hard reset, I try activesync again, and now absolutally nothing happens on the phone. On the PC the little network icon comes up aqquiring an IP address and dissappears, and the just sits there...
At this point I ran a exe file on the K-JAM, to put it into bootloader mode, I ran the update tool, and again it complained about the update utility, again not changing anything, I ran it, and then it gave a communication / connection error, and a third time also a communication / connection error.
I tried only one radio rom, I am going to try it with the oldest version on that page, if that doesn't work, then I don't know. I tried it with ActiveSync 4.5 and 4.2.
In the mean time I tried the original ROM file from clubimate, that actually loaded, and worked, except the network still isnt working.
I also tried syncing the phone on another pc, and funny enough that worked.
On trying to load the new Radio ROM, it started the update process, and at that moment the phone jumps to bootloader mode, obviously the activesync connection gets lost, the update tool waits a bit, and then suddenly complains about the update tool, saying I need a new version or something.
I have checked the bootloader version of the phone, and it is version 2.x.
I try it again and then I get a connection error....I really need to get my dads phone working again.
Any ideas?
Not sure which Radio's you are trying but go grab a Radio Only ROM. TMobile 2.19.11 UK seems to be a very good and stable one. These are found in the ftp area: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard .
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the help.....ive tried 3 different ones from there, they all do the same thing...so its a bit wierd.....
On the other side of the coin I decided to stick on another sim card, and it works just fine on the other sim card
So the radio is working just fine afterall.....just got back from the service provider and they rekon either the sim card is damaged or its a network error....so lets see what happens.....
Thanks to everybody for the help...
lol..
so its just the simcard after all..
lol yeah....
Although I would still like to know why I can't update the radio anyway...
isnt it because of your activesync?
I don't know what it is...
I used it on another PC alltogether and activesync worked just fine...the update tool interacts with the device, starts the update process, and then the phone goes to bootloader mode, activesync obviously losing the connection, the update tool waits a while and then suddenly says something about the update utility being old or something, I need a new one or what ever....
Then while in bootloader mode I try the update again and then I get a connection error.
Its all wierd.....
Hey there everyone, I am pretty new to this forum so I must apologize for throwing you all into the deep end. I recently purchased an o2 XDA mini S second hand from a guy on boards.ie here in Ireland. I got the phone and really liked it because it allowed me to get rid of my Dell Axim X3i and mp3 player and keep it all in one device.
After a little bit of more research I discovered that I could remove some of the bloatware from the o2 xda mini S by just hard resetting and choosing the basic option which I than did. Still not satisfied with the overall performance of the XDA I decided to try a rom upgrade. Not wanting to do a totall overhaul I decided to just do a radio upgrade first.
My device is sim unlocked, it was like that when I bought it. I used the latest wizard service tool to CID unlock the device before I even flashed the phone. I also used the wizard service tool to change the nk.nbf file within the o2 mini S radio update into 96000000-GSM.nb. I then used this file to write to the GSM radio code (Bdk 1) according to the wizard service tool in the hopes that it would upgrade my radio version.
Well when I restarted, nothing of the sort happened, on the boot screen I noticed I was now missing my GSM version and when the phone finally got into windows mobile, it did not pick up any signal even though beforehand it could. The phone also became super slow to the point where it was unusable.
I have gone into bootloader mode subsequently after reading on this forum and tried to reflash with a number of updates with active sync disabled and nothing else running with the phone connected via usb to the pc. None of the updates would even pick up the phone or allow me to flash it.
My phone is pretty much screwed, I have a spare so it is not that big of an issue but I would like to make this usable again if at all possible. So my question is how do I flash a rom while the phone is in bootloader mode?
P.S I forgot to include the Current boot screen details:
IPL - 1.05
SPL - 1.05
OS - 1.5.4.2
Hi,
You can use the Wizard Love Rom from here http://rapidshare.com/files/17792050/Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar
Hey there, thanks for the advice, I did download that ROM but like I said before, none of the roms manage to flash my XDA because they all cannot seem to connect to it. Activesync does not even pick it up in windows mode, and even when I have it connected in bootloader mode via usb and I double click on the love rom, it goes through the motions but never managed to "verify the information with the pda"
Try a stock Tmobile ROM but not from bootloader. Also, I would check the activesync app on the device. Make sure it's set to use USB as the default connection method.
A few other steps to try...
Uninstall ActiveSync and install an older version. If still no go, try a newer version.
Try a different USB cable and/or USB port.
Try a different computer with XP, not Vista.
Try flashing it without the SIM card or any memory cards.
If all else fails, you can try the SD card flashing method. There are instructions in the Wiki on how to do it, but always a stock ROM.
Try this one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311027
Updated IPL/SPL and radio 2.69
Hey Devis, I think I have come one step closer, I tried all the suggestions that you made. Except well now my phone will not even go into the operating system when I switch it on. It will boot and the version numbers show but then it just resets itself.
I tried a different usb cable and I am not using vista, tried a different pc and the same result. The one place I did have some marginal success was the sd card method.
Basically what happened is that It backed up the OS from my phone and then reloaded it, not exactly what I wanted since the OS and rom are both screwed on the phone so my question at this point is, is there anyway using the SD card method to load one of the stock roms onto my phone?
I searched around the net and found the opposite to the "r2sd all" function, would be the "s2d" function, would that allow me to flash the phone with a stock rom?
Thanks for your time, I am going to call it a night here in ireland and head to bed.
Ok, if the phone resets then you probbably have a dead/dying battery. Charge it for about an hour or so using the wall charger, not the USB cable. Try to restart it and see if you can get in the OS. I was looking in the SD card method thread and some guy was successful at restoring the image from the SD even though his OS had died. He then had a fully functional phone.
The other thing to do would be to get the image file from someone that has a living and breathing wizard, preferably one with a stock ROM. Since this method is the equivalent of making an image of a PC using Ghost, the restoration of such an image to your Wizard should work just fine.
Just make sure that the other Wizard is SIM and CID unlocked. Or just go buy a Wizard from the store, unlock SIM and CID, copy the image on the SD and flash your device. Or... since u've got a new Wizard in your hands, just take the freaking thing appart and swap the guts return the store bought wizard to the store saying that the thing just doesnt freaking work!
As for the AT commands... it is possible that s2d would workfor you, it doesn't work in my wizard. from what i have been reading it appears that the bootloader is password protected and that password is randomly generated. I haven't played long enough with it to figure out how to get the password.
It looks like you've got some "trial and error" processes ahead of you. There is a wealth of info on bootloader AT commands on Wiki, nothing for the Wizard though. But something may work... not sure.
I could try to get you a ROM dump from my Wizard but I already am on SPL/IPL 3.08 and running WM6. the SPL/IPL version alone wouldn't allow you to restore from my backup.
Hey Devis, thanks for your time, just woke up here, will work some more on the phone today and let you know what is going on
Hey Devis, I did not even get a chance to fiddle around with the phone today, from being able to switch on less than 24 hours ago, it does not even want to switch on now so I am going to officially declared it a brick and move on. Will see if anyone can fix it for me, spent way too much time already when I should be working on my dissertation, thanks alot anyway
Sorry to hear that...
I have bricked one phone myself in the past... my old Pana GD87 and I absolutely loved that phone. I know how you feel.
Good luck with your dissertation.
