wiki
pls read wiki
you need to formate the device
camera+recoder button thing

i did exactly that and had usb come up on screen but still no joy.
Cheers

hey
regarding the the maupgradeutnoid.exe, when your using it for the vry first time, you have to disable activesync first, put your device into bottloader mode, and put it ine the cradle... you could here a sound, wait till the device would be recognize and wait till a popup message telling you that the new device installed is ready to use and that's the time where you run the maupgradeutnoid.exe otherwise you'll keep on just getting that message that the upgarde is finished, well actually nothing has happened.
since, its your first time attempt of upgrading to wm5, you can use baupgrade.exe but be sure you have set the corect operator for your device. to know what is your operator info, just transfer the getdeviceinfo.exe to your device and run it, this .exe will generate devicedata.txt found in the windows directory of your device. tranfer it to your pc and read it from there, in my case I have an imate, my operator is CDL_01, remember this coz you will neede this when your upgrading to wm5.
in any rom that you can download in this site, there is an included bat file, setoperator.bat, and enter you operator info, after that your ready to run baupgradeut.exe with no problem... read the wiki for better understanding.. alwaysssssssssss read..............

Upgraded to WM5 ROM, 1.15.00 radio doesn't work?

Hi,
I upgraded a Cingular SX66 unit using maupgradeut_noid and the latest AKU 3.5.2 WM5 ROM. Afterward, I had no radio ROM so I updated to the 1.15.00 release. However, my phone is still unable to make/receive calls or data (with multiple good SIMs.) It appears the radio ROM is having issues with this WM5 package because sometimes on hard restarts the boot screen lists R: and G: as NONE, but after a soft reboot they usually show the correct versions.
I searched and can't find any postings about this type of behavior. Nothing useful to report from the phone other than it says "phone is not ready" and "no service" with a good SIM.
I have several of these PDAs that I want to distribute to my internal staff with WM5 so they don't have to learn WM2003 (all of our other devices are WM5 or WM6.) Any recommendations on a procedure to test the radio ROM or a different combination of OS and radio ROMs?
Thanks for the help.
PS. running getdevicedata.exe yields the following:
PH20B1 WWE A %CID? 5.35.05. 1.15.00 % 4

downgrade to wm2003 and try to flash again radio 1.15 and post the results

Take it easy
all BA HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS YOU DESRIBLE
IF YOU USE WM2003 THE PROBLEM WILL DISAPPEAR~ SO，JUST SOFT RESET
YOUR PHONE EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE YOUR BETTERY！！

just one softreset, and when you need to charge, charge it when it reaches the 40%, etc, just don't take out the battery, or you will have to softreset it again for the radio work.
it is just the same with mine sx66, and i don't care at all.

Thanks for the notes...I kind of learned the soft reset 'fix' on my own, a little disappointing but I guess we're stuck with it. Why would I want to downgrade my phone to 2003? The whole point was to move to WM5 so my users and support team all work with the same interface.
Of course...my next project is to find out why SMSplus works on 8525 phones and not 8125 (standard Cingular OS load.) Might have to upgrade the 8125s to WM6 (sigh)

BA turns off while rom upgrade

i tried to upgrade to wm6 from wm3 on my ba and i got stuck at seria usb v2.07,
now i know i can ugrade the ext rom and radio but im still having problems w the rom, the phone turns off and i dont know why, keep telling me errors,
any help? everything seem to work fine untill stage 3. i tried to do it alone, but nothing,
i even tried the 1.42 radio rom update, the wm6 from heli and others. using ma......noid instead of the ba....
tried mtty, usb, task 14 0, 28 55aa, 0, and nothing. even set...
any idea where to look?
c on, this thing is still alive!!!

you need to open your ba and check the switch that works with the battery holder natch.

try to flash your ROM in that screen...
that's the BOOTLOADER Screen...
the thing is... that "sometimes" the RUU doesnt recognize that our BA is already in that mode after executing EnterBL.exe(Enter Bootloader), so it hangs or sometimes throw an error that you are disconnected.
and since your BA is already in the "BL" Mode.
try and restart flashing from that screen, it would go smoothly...
P.S.
to be sure...
BEFORE YOU START FLASHING...
make sure you have enough batteries left.
AND
kill all the RUU Processes from the task manager... (Ma...NoID.exe)

thank you for the input
i really apreciate it. a lot. i need ideas.
unfortunately SilverSamurai tried everything u said, and nothing worked. keep telling me error 112. even after i removed the enterBL.exe and after trying diffrerent versions. all with ma...noid.exe.
im ordering the screwdrivers, but im sorry Sandstorm, but i dont know exactly what i have to look for.
im trying to find the switch that works with the battery holder natch in wiki with no luck. ill keep working on this.
thank you in advance. hope i can solve this to close the thread and being helpful in any way.
nice day

pardon me for correcting... it's the battery "Notch" switch...
it's the switch behind the "thingy" that you push to lock the battery in place.
too bad i dont have another camera with me, so all i can do is describe it.
when you remove the back cover...
just look "bottom-center" where an "insy-bitsy" toggle switch reside.
... i'll try to search for a solution too... and post anything i find in here...

ok
thank you for the input again.
i finally open my ba, and i get to the switch that works with the battery holder notch, it seems to work fine, still, dont know if it has to be up or down while working with the ba. i guess down, but im not sure.
do you know?
thanks again

i found this posts from another thread it is titled Error 112 CE ROM Update Error it mentioned requiring a clean pc setup.
i hope that works.

im still on it
thanks
but im giving up. ill keep on it while i can. nothing worked for me.
thanks any way. i love this forum.
now on nike! touch dual Spanish Version....
sniff sniff

ok
i opened it and i taped it w the bettery holder notch.
just in case anyone can help me telling me whether im in the right direction.
thank you for your the help
ill keep fighting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG4fmly_Fiw

push the notch up...(grrr... i thought it was a switch... press down... you're right)
have you tried a different battery?
i dont recall the Radio having 1.42.00 versions... that's WM2003SE and it has the radio version of 1.13.00....
just start with upgrading the Radio Rom ONLY... upgrade it with the one found in the BA Wikis... Version 1.15.00.
Then if it is successfull try flashing with Xplode's WM6.1 found in stickies...
dont bother with the extrom... just install/flash those two above....
and use XP not Vista/ Remove the SD Card.
post what happens...

sx66 urgent help

i need help with my phone, ive tried almost all, just udpated my cingular sx66 from wm2003 to wm6 through wiki, almost nothing is working perfectly, my wifi has to click many times in order to turn on, bluetooth paired with my jabra, awful, intermitent sound, can't watch youtube, and many times the phone icon turns off and when i turn it on, it says no service, ive tried with many sims but i have to soft reset almost always in order to read the sim, i already unlock it with the unlocker provided here, ive tried searching for the latest radio rom but i have no idea how to update, tried to install extended rom, no idea, did all the instructions in the sx66 standardization project, it is just a folder with a lot of cabs but not even the auto install runs or do anything, please i need help, i cant use the phone, ive searched and couldn't find anything
thanks for the help

mine working fine... try to hard reset again. btw ur flasing who's ROM?

ok the first thing is that whenever u take the battery out from BA u must soft reset it by the stylus.
and radio link is
http://rapidshare.com/files/131754772/BA_RRPT_Radio_11500.rar.html
upgrade procedure is same as u did before.

i just upgraded using the wm6 Ba wiki, no issue with that, i used the same radio rom you posted 10 times but it never updates, it stays, in "updating device, don't disconnect" for more than 8 mins, so I suppose is not working
rom version: 5.60.00
rom date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.02.10
protocol version 1337.35
extrom version: 1.40.125
i think that the extrom installed,

this is something wrong with ur device radio cause i hv sucessfully updated my radio using that files. and also given it to other xda-developers.com members for update and they did it sucessfully.

Unable to Load Bootloader

I have tried hitting record + power + reset and still no dice.
I did this last Jan to my BA with few problems, put in the wm6.1
Wanting to install this one WM6.5
I also installed the Wizard Service Tool and it doesnt seem to work. It will give me info but the hard reset and other rom features don't want to work.
is there a workaround for gettin to the bootloader? Or should I take this all as a sign not to brik my phone? ;D
thanks,
chela

hi , i'm new on the forum...i think i've the same problem, on my PDA2K..
I try to install a new rom from wm2003se, using a file called "preparazione BA"( i think i've unlocked the extrom), then i normally setup with the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe..But now, when the upgrading is completed to wm6, i'm not able to load the bootoption..i can see 4 colour bands (green blue red white) but no option to boot. The rec+photo+reset seem not to work.
Could anyone help me\us??
Regards at all
Davide

after 2 hours..here are some news: my pda2k display became with the 4 color but there was writen something about R none, G none and (version onf the rom i tryed to install) then pressing rec+cam i saw for little fraction of second the menu enable kitl ,clean registry, etc.. and then suddenly the wm6 starts. After installing the OS ask me to reset..Well, it return to the same 4 color, and the only word i see is R1.11.00
I'm getting crazy...
Please big chef tony help me!
i don't know what to do now...i'm little down
Davide

...lol maybe because I dont do this often enough, but this case was solved with a little bit of RTFM!
I didnt realize I was pressing the wrong fsking button! derr!
Here is Chef Tony's post...should carve it into my desk!

Hello, my ppc always dispays the four band with R1.11.00 written..After a lot of reset(often unplugging battery) and photo+rec, i was rarely able to display the boot option, but here is strange what is written(attached photo n°2): R None, G None, D 1.21 Michy.. Then pushing "mail" the OS start installing wm6, then, it ask me to boot so i would be able executing extrom to install cab file.It resets and then it appears the famous four band with R1.11.00
Any idea??
I've finished mine....Aww!!
Regards
Davide
P.s. think it's important: my bootloader is v 2.08

i've solved my problem..reading on other forums, they suggest to install a rom WM5, where there was radio upgrade too..After i was able to install WM6.1 ! Now..i have to wait..and crossing my fingers!
Thank you all, if anybody has question ask me, i'll happy to help you
Bye

Nothing strange about what is in photo #2! That is the debugger screen.
Looks like you got it rolled back to the original ROM but if you decide to put the latest stable ROM 6.5 on there you're going to have to follow the Chef's directions in the above supplied link.
Good luck,
Chela

glad you found it out, you are right, there was something wrong with the radio, which is why in screenshot #1 there is only the radio listed and i think that's also why in #4 the comm icons are red, i've never seen that before, but could also be a custom skin in that rom.
brujeria is right, there is nothing wrong with the 2nd and 3rd screenshot, except for the 2nd one only showing the rom and no radio or protocol, meaning that the device was probably resetted by pulling out the battery and not pushing the reset pin with the stylus, unless that was also a radio issue.
unless you already started customizing your device you should probably think about hard resetting it once again and trying if that works, or even re-flash the rom, without flashing the radio, that way you'd know for sure, if from now on you'll always have to flash a "baked rom" (usually a term for a cooked rom, together with radio and extrom, a full flash, in this case i mean rom and radio rom, since the extrom is not really flashed anymore).
with best regards,
Chef_Tony

i've already customized...a little! Now, everytime i soft reset i read this: R 1.15.00 , G 1337.45 , D 1.21 michy.
I've no problem at moment..but i hope i won't never hard reset!
This Rom (WM6.1 included only Rom upgrade) it's nice, but i'm interested about WM6.5..anyway i think to keep this one untill a problem will come out
P.s. Like you say, now the antenna isn't red anymore..it's bright green
Thank you a lot for the support guys!
