MDA PROBLEMS: I have no idea

Hi all
I am posting here in the slightest hope that someone can help me out. In a nutshell I have a T-Mobile MDA III PH20B that has ceased working
I have tried hard resets but still have no joy and wondered if someone could help?
First off, on the back of the MDA once the battery is removed it shows;
Model PH20B
IMEI 35303000.......
When it starts up, in the bottom right corner it shows;
NO GSM
D1.06.00 ENG
If I choose START > SETTINGS > DEVICE INFO I see the following on the different tabs;
VERSION
Rom Version: 1.06.00 ENG
Rom Date: 08/05/04
Radio version:
Protocol version:
ExtROM Version: 1.06.117 WWE
IDENTITY
Model No: PH20B
Platform PocketPC
IMEI: (and no number!!!)
Problem is, the phone will not work following me trying to upgrade the ExtRom from the T-Mobile website (http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_3.html). It now keeps bombing out out with an error message saying;
ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR n-n-38-38-38
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check the vender Website and download the correct ROM update.
This has never been tampered with, has never been unlocked and is now dead as a dodo. Can anyone please off any advice on how I can get it backup and running? I am lost (no pun intended) without my Bluetooth TomTom and phone.
When it connects to its cradle, my PC can still see it, so I am able to copy files to and from it. Thats about all I can do with it though

frostie
Well it seems like you MDAIII has a corupt system and thus you need to reflash it.
Best option for you is wiki.
Go to the link in my signature and see if you can find a original version that you can flash it with.
The No GMS means that the radio part is corupt.
The 1.06 means that you have a OLD version of the OS as we are now at 1.42.
The fact that you can still copy files just proves that the device can be seem but without a radio it is not much of a phone.
The country code error you can get arond by using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP application.
In all you will find out most of what you need of wiki.
Follow the link for the radio upgrade to solve the NO GSM
Follow the link for the 1.42 for the os
And BTW wellcome to xda-developers (its your first post)

Cheers for the welcome. Yup, first post so had to make sure that I included as much info as I possible could to show that I am atleast trying to help myself :lol:
Thanks for the pointers. I will work my way through them and let you know how I get on.
Very much appreciated.

Backup and running
You want to know what the problem was? I feel ashamed :lol:
When it says Bootloader Mode - I got that far, but then pressed the on/off switch to fire it up again. I didn't realise the upgrade happened when it was a dark screen with just Serial or USB on it.
Shame!
Anyway thanks for your help as its back up and running, and up to date with 1.42 and 1.15 I also thought 'sod it' and have managed to make it SIM free too
Again, many thanks.

Well 3 posts later and you now have 1.42 radio 1.15 and sim free, thats wiki for you.
Now cook your extened rom and get rid of all the operator crap.

How to find out my IPL/SPL

Hi guys I have a new HTC Wing phone which has some issues with the GSM radio, I was going to update the radio for my device to solve the problem but I see that it requires an SPL/IPL version equal or higher than 4
Unfortunately, the IPL/SPL version numbers are not shown when I boot this device, is there any other way to find out
Here is the info I see on the device.
ROM version 4.10.531.3 WWE
Rom date: 03/15/07
Radio version: 02.83.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.37
ExtROM version: 4.10.531.103
One other thing I have is that I have editied the registry to be able to see the band settings, however, the band information info is blank
Thanks in advance

Also a new Wing user (got it last week), and found out my IPL/SPL yesterday
You will see IPL/SPL info in bootloader
How you get into bootloader you ask?

Try the following links as well. Keep reading, as there's a "wealth" of information on this site. I don't claim I am an expert on Wing, but I've been "soaking" in this site the last few days, and I "think" I know what I want/need to do

Hope this help
From another new Wing fellow

hey pal, yeah today I figured out I would check with the bootloader option and I could see the IPL/SPL version, did the radio update to version 8.xxx which is supposed to be the one everybody is using but still can´t get signal inside my apartment, I dunno if it is a particular problem of this one I have or if it is a more general issue, maybe I will try a ROM update...
anyway, thanks again for the reply

Just flashed my wing to Open Touch 3.0 Biggy, which include a new radio: 03.07.90
If you hate TMo ROM, or wanna try something new, maybe you should look into it

I flashed it to Toich It V2 but nothing has changed regarding reception quality while a wizard I have has perfect reception, I will try to install a ruu rom image instead and see what happens, the rom i have now shows nothing under device information which is weird to say the least

Bootloader Question

Back again with another question.
I managed to flash another working rom on my phone but,..... (there's always a but )
My phone worked great for a couple of hours and then i froze.
Rebooted the phone and 9 out of 10 times it freezes upon boot (t-mobile screen) So i figured re flash... but once i tried the following problem came up.
It even freezes in the bootloader. Most time when it starts and shows the bootloader screen you see a small short line of colors showing up at the top center of the screen.
So now my question is whether its possible that the bootloader itself is damaged/corrupt and if so is there a way to fix it?
Its prob a stupid question because i have read some treads about that on the forum but I could not find any specific to the Tm Wing / Herald.
And i wanna make sure before i can arrange a funeral for the phone
Thx
Phone info,
Device Name: HTC_p4350
Rom version: 4.12.405.1 WWE

SPL 4.10.0000

try to flash to a different rom

Thx,
I tried but most rom's won't work in my case.
For some reason only the original t-mobile rom make my WLAN work.
RUU_Atlas_TMO_US_4[1].10.531.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship
And the other one that works is
HERALD.ASerg.12.WM61R.WWE but then my WLAN does not work for some reason.
Most other ROM I cannot get to work because it keep saying either image file corrupt or incorrect hardware ID
But even the bootloader keep crashing lots. So i was wondering if the bootloader is a separate piece of software from the ROM that you can flash and possibly also damage.
I have tried lots of solutions but 99% (of what i can find) has to be done with Active Sync working. Mine does not boot 9 out of 10 times so no Active Sync. When it does it crashes pretty fast. (most time when i slide the keyboard out or when i wanna flash it )
But i'm not ready to give up

Having problems updating radio on SX66 (Blue Angel)

Hello, I upgraded my Blue Angel (SX66) to WM6.1 last week. I wanted to upgrade the radio from 1.02 to 1.15 but I have not been able to. I keep getting Error 101 (disconnect).
The device information shows the following info about my device:
Operator version : WM6.1PPC Phone
ROM version: 6.141WWE HT4.20
ROM date: 09/18/08
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protoco; version: 1337.32
ExtROM version: Black Kernel
Model No: PH20B1
Also, the RUU mode on my device shows BlueAngel and by USB mode is v2.06. I checked the beginners' section on this site and tried every possible trick (bootloader mode, modifying the country, etc). So, far nothing has worked. I would appreciate some guidance on this matter. Thanks!

remember the folder that you use when you upgrade to the latest ROM? Copy that same older on a different location on your PC and then open it and just delete the nk.nbf file and replace it with the latest radio rom which is 1.15.00 for BA and then run the same process, make sure the activesync is not running and your BA is in bootloader mode. Hope this helps.

Still having problems updating radio on Blue Angel
Thanks for the reply. However, that is still not solving my problem. I getting ERROR 101. CONNECTION ERROR. I tried the BAupgradeut in Bootloader mode. and I get the same problem. I read about a utililty called ROMupdate11a.exe and tried it, but it is still not working.
I wish I would've realized how difficult this process is. I would've made an effort to buy a Blue Angel device w/ updated firmware.
PS: I have read the Blue Angel beginners' section and the wiki and tried (to the best of my ability) to try all the tricks listed there. This is why I hope someone out there has experienced and solved the same problems I have.
Thanks again. I will keep looking, and hoping for a solution.

have you tried MAupgrade_UTL??? Ok like this, try to revert back your BA's ROM to wm2003se first, then do the Radio upgrade and afterwards upgrade to the latest ROM

I think I know why I cannot upgrade radio
I suspect that my Blue Angel's BIOS is damaged. I used the GetDeviceData to find get exact ROM for my PH20B1 device (see attached). I used to get PH20B1 on the DeviceData.txt file. Now I get a lot of garbled characters in the section where the model # used to be. Also, when I go to Device Information (under the WM6 settings section), I see the same garbled characters where the Model No section is.
I also cannot find the Country section. This may also explain why my phone fails to recognize any ROMs (even those flagged as WWE --- from the USA). That is not good, I think.
My fear is that my device will not accept any ROM updates (or downgrades). Does the above make sense? If so, have I messed up my Blue Angel for good or is there still hope? Thanks.

Never mind, problem solved. Thanks!!!
Hello again. I just wanted to let you all know that my Blue Angel is OK (finally). A friend of mine, who also has an SX66 successfully applied the Radio 1.15 ROM upgrade (after he unlocked my device). I am all set now. Thanks for your assistance and guidance.

Unlocking & related

Well. Last night I tried to unlock my Kaiser. Today something has broke bigtime
I followed the instructions for unlocking it from Olipro. However, I couldn't get it to go past the "SPL 1.93" on the screen or past the Tricolour. It wouldn't pass that stage and thus wouldn't go to Stage 2, and onwards. So ended up at another thread. It was the white screen one. I've managed to download and load JumpSPL1.56-KAIS and JumpSPL1.93-KAIS and once that was done return to the initial instructions and unlock the phone.
It reported all was OK but I've not got another sim to test it in. All was well today but this afternoon a call went to voicemail. When I tried to retreive it, I heard the voice then it made a buzzing noise and cut off.
A couple of soft resets later and turning the network off then on and I get part of the voicemail again, but most the time no sound at all when making/recieiving calls.
I would update to a newer rom but I don't know which one it is.
The following information I have.
Operator Version: 24.328.1.610
ROM Version: 3.28.61.0 WWE
ROM Date: 05/02/08
Radio Version: 1.70 OliNex
Protocol Version: 25.65.30.04H
Under the battery it states this is a Kais130
The options I have would be to contact the service provider and give these details to get a replacement. However, I'm worried that they will notice that the Radio Version is wrong and thus charge me lots of money. Or just complain more. If I can fix it myself I would like this option though because I do want it unlocked....

Soft resetting with the camera button in, gives me the following information:
Security Unlocked
Kais130 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliProf
CPLD-8
SERIAL (futher down).

Yeah! But which one do I choose?

Oh, well, um, I'm trying for one now. Except it might take a while. I don't have a small microsd card, only the 4gb one, so I'm copying my data off before I format it to fix what I broke
Thanks for your help

Try 1.65.16.25 it is the one that originally came with your rom.
