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've been reading and trying this for days with no luck. I've fully unlocked my wizard and I'm now trying to flash to the 318 rom. But I have no clue how to do it. Could someone walk me through ho to do it? Most of the flashing done thus far has been an EXE file or through DOS. I must be missing something simple.
please help

I followed that one already. That's how I unlocked it. But all step 3.8 says is "your ready to flash...". Right now I don't understand exactly how to flash and I'd prefer not to "trial and error" it.
However, this morning I did open up the Hypercore kitchen and I think I'm on the right track. I'm at work so I can't try anything but I've printed up everything in that thread including all it's links and I'm going to give it a go once I get home. I'll report back once that's done.
Alright, after some more research and reading in the hypercore kitchen thread and all it's links, I think I may have it figured out.
I download and extract the files for the ROM I want, in this case 318 8.1 from theloon.
I then follow the instructions linked int he hypercore thread with dumping, and the pkgtool, buildos, etc.. If followed correctly, my wizard should be flashed with the new rom correct?
A confirmation would be nice. Any other comments you have are a bonus.
Another question though; what's the difference between the programs contained in the SYS and OEM folders compared to the ones in the build OS that i have the select? Aren't the ones in the folders already included in the ROM?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. I don't get confused too easily so as you can imagine i'm quite frustrated. I used to flash new versions and programs to my Razr but it was nothing like this.
dont get me wrong are you trying to cook your own rom, because hypercore is a kitchen, i suggest you download one of the roms that are made by reputable cooks, like the NBD series, TNT series, paradox, xmr, faria's, ingenetics, octavio's they differ in the apps and costumization included in the os and the builds, so just select download and flash
there's an executable file inside the roms once you unzip it and be careful if your using xp or vista
The only things I've been working with up until this point is BuildOS and nb2nbf. I haven't fully grasped the definition of "cooking" yet; whether it means altering files for my self or if the BuildOS selection list is considered cooking.
I think i was trying to do too much and using a file different from the one being referenced in the tutorial was a bit confusing. So to start, I decided to use Faria's Crossbow and the tutorial that came with it. It was very easy and I was able to flash my Wizard to that ROM without a problem. But the one i really want is Theloon's 318.
So, based off of what I learned last night I figured I just needed to replace the OEM, ROM, and SYS folders that came up when I unzipped Faria's crossbow with the ones from 318. Is this correct? Because I just tried that this morning and I get all the way to the CMD prompt right before it opens nb2nbf and it gives me an error (see attacment). If there's one thing I've learned from all these bricked devices floating around, it's to NEVER proceed when an error occurs.
What does this error mean? How can I fix it? Is my moving of the folders wrong? What am i missing?
just messin around trying to see what tools work, i got another error.
Ok, now I've got a bigger problem. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. It's actually a lot simpler than I thought. i was just making it more complicated. Ok, I tarted the flash and at about 47%, it gave me a memory reference error. Now my Wizard won't go past the three-color screen and all it shows is my IPL/SPL 3.08. ActiveSync won't detect it, tried hard resetting, turning on while holding camera button, etc. What do i do now?
Now you start thinking... "Maybe I should have read the stickies on the Upgrading forums... bummer..."
The 3 color screen is called the BootLoader. As long you get that screen, your phone can be recovered. How to recover it?
- Use a Windows XP PC.
- Download Wizard_Love Rom (its somewhere, use google or search the forum, but then again, you wouldn't be having this problems IF you knew how to use the search button!)
- Press and hold CAMERA button and hit the reset, keeping the camera button pressed.
- Connect the Wizard to your pc using the USB cable.
- Start the Wizard_Love RUU utility that comes with it.
- Just press next until it starts flashing the ROM to it.
- Pray for it to finish without touching anything until the RUU says CONGRATULATIONS.
There... your phone is working again.
READ THE STICKIES BEFORE DOING ANYTHING AND USE THE SEARCH!
THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED FOR TOO MANY TIMES ALREADY!!!
PS: Maybe we should create a thread for helping the guys that don't follow stickies or care about the ALREADY info we have here... something like:
- 3 color screen: do this
- different IPL/SPL G3 on a G4 device: you are screwed.
I definately read the stickies over and over again. I've got a stack of printouts sitting in front of me that I've been reading for the past week.
I understand your frustration about questions like this but that's no reason to be rude. I used to be a moderator on pbnation.com so I know exactly how you feel. But the fact of the matter is that I'm not as familiar with these things as you are. I fixed the bootloader issue before I even read your response. i found the answer by re-reading one of my printouts that said the re-flash with official rom. So i did that and it worked. I knew I'd get flamed for posting but since I had already had a thread created, I figured it wouldn't hurt to post updates on my status.
I know how to flash roms now. It's actually quite easy. However, I ran into some issues that I'd like to explain in hopes that you realize I'm not taking advantage of you or not utilizing the tools and stickies.
i was having problems yesterday because of my work computer (I think). When extracting the files from Hypercore, they were not placed where they should have been and the tools wouldn't work properly. An example would be when opening buildOS it would give me the yes or no prompts. An IT friend allowed me to use his non-work laptop to do the exact same thing and I was able to use it without a hitch. The simple tmobile official rom update wouldn't even work on my work computer. So it's not just me.
I knew there was a reason that i couldn't follow it.
Regardless of your approach, I still thank you for your help.
I didn't mean to be rude... sorry about that. Its just that from your post count I thought your were like a newcomer like those that come here all the time, asking the same questions over and over again. Netherless, sorry for "helping" you the way I did.
I will have some tea now to relax care to join?
I was upgrading my ROM, when it was reached 76% the upgrading process is stay stil until almost 1 hour, so i reset my device, but...... My device is blank. I've try to entering the bootloader or reset my device but it doesnt work at all.
showing nothing on screen....
Please help me what should i do......
Thanks....
when i first had that problem, i first of all tried to load the batterz for several hours, after that didn't help i took it out for several days and then i constantly tried switching it on or entering bootloader. i am sorry i cannot tell you which of those points actually made the change, but in the end it worked again, i. e. it entered bootloader and i was able to re-flash the device. try something out, i don't think you actually bricked your device, and in a state like this, the device wouldn't get broke-r maybe one of the methods described by me will help you get your device back up, be sure to tell me, what it was then
Chef_Tony,
Actually i have upgrade the ROM, but what i have install is ROM for GSM not for CDMA device....
How can i have the ROM for CDMA device...??? please help me....
or can i just release the batteray for couple days will bring my old ROM (WM2003)??
it wouldn't bring you back to wm2003se, because the flashing process overwrites exactly that part of memory in your device that contains your old wm2003se. the general problem is that the gsm version is so much more popular than the cdma version, i don't know for sure, but i think there is no wm6.x rom for the cdma version, so actually you don't have the blueangel, but the harrier. a thread handling with that, you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=244534
probably that would also be a good place to ask for the shipped rom, which you need to flash on your device, but remember, also for the original rom you need to put your device in bootloader mode and use the maupgrade_noid.exe, since you already manipulated your device information and therefore the upgrade tool will give out several errors like error code 101 country id error or 150 the rom is not suitable for your device, but apparently you know how to bypass these errors, as you already managed to (start) flash(ing) your device. there is also a section for shipped roms in this forum, in which you'll probably find the link to the original rom for your specific device from your carrier in your country, or you look it up yourself
good luck with that, and i will stand by for further questions
greetings, Chef_Tony
EDIT: a collection of manz shipped roms you can find here: just look for your country and carrier: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476675
Oh, God....
Its so difficult for me.... I'm a newbie in this world....
Can just you teach me step by step to get fix my device.?
Please...... I beg you.
Thanks alot for your help
ok, first of all, go by the steps, descibed in my first answer, try to get the device into bootloader mode by any means necessary. try different ways:
- charge it by cable
- charge it by cradle
- try to turn it on
- take out the battery and retry
- try hard reset
- try hard reset+record button
...
whatever comes to mind that would do the trick and get the device back on in the first place.
2. tell me your country and what network you are using, and i will try and find the latest shipped rom for you and give you the download link.
EDIT: here you can find several shipped roms and directly download them: http://harrier.atspace.com/
3. i will try and find the MAupgrade_noID.exe, in case you don't have it yet.
EDIT: here you can find it in 2nd post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=250099
4. you put that file in the folder, together with your shipped rom, where you should also find BAupgrade.exe, but you start MAupgrade_noID. your device should be in bootloader and you put it in the cradle to start downgradning process, wait until it's finished, shipped roms sometimes contain radio update files, so this might take 40minutes. and i hope you are not using vista, because this would make everything terribly complicated, which is not exactly great, since you are rather unexperienced.
so, awaiting your post with your country and carrier, while i try and find the other things necessary and re-post. don't panic, we'll get through this
harrier?
the harrier shiped Roms chef tony are in the Mr Xplode or wiki links... seems that the main batt and backup are dead... need to charge then enter to Bootloader and run his own carrier rom as you say if the Ruu cant do it.. the MA you can use the one that is on the Helmi_c WM6 Rom... it works for me instead of any other BA MA no ID...
the link i posted is taken from xplode's signature. i forgot to mention that. and while we are giving credit to people for uploading and sharing files, i want to thank ramram for posting and attaching the maupgrade_noid in the post i linked to. EDIT: the version of maupgrade is the same you offer in your downloads, so it should be the helmi version, which works for everybody.
using P3700 and Im trying to unlock it.
done with downgrading it to 1.40.OilNex and Ive already launched customruu.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forums.
Anyways, I have been searching for an English Rom for my HTC TyTn II (GER) that is currently running on Windows 6.

I want my phone to be able run the Android Gingerbread 2.3.5, if there is a later version that will be even better.
Please, I have been searching for hours now.
The phone has 120mb internal storage memory.
A great friend of mine gave me this phone. Not sure if that helps, but just putting it out there lol.
I already found some awesome How-To guides from this forum.
And I know this forum is still very active, which is good too.
What I need:
a working English rom
Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 patch... (not sure if I need the English rom, if I have this or not)
So may someone please help? Thank you in advance!

So I downloaded all the WWE's and tried every one of them, but they all give me "INVALID VENDOR ID."
Then I followed the Hard SPL guide, I got a white screen. And no Tri-color screen.
After that I just removed battery and re-tried it a few more times same deal, white screen.
Even followed a youtube guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaCt5pUn6iI

The active sync however had a

I thought this was supposed to be really easy from what I read on the forums, but I keep running into dead ends. lol.
Please I need to know if I'm doing anything wrong, if so how can I install the English rom? Because I can't, not yet anyways.
