PLEASE HELP!!! i need help upgrade to the New Radio 1.13.00

Please i need help to upgrade to the new radio rom. i have a siemens sx66 from cingular. i tried to upgrade it but i always get an error.

Hi aih1977,
Please read the wiki. Cheers ^^

Hi khngaroo
i did but i still get an error

Same issue here
Hi guys,
Actually, I have the same issue. As far as I could see, the Wiki doesn't address the "123: Radio file checksum error" that I receive when following the directions. I follow the directions for using the downloads which doesn't go, then I use the files from the Siemens SX66 Upgrade as suggested.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

ever thought about reading the other threads ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23814

Lets see the wiki 1.40 upgrade is in the first place a TPYE II upgrade.
Now if you spend sometime and READ the page you will see that there are 2 ways of doing a 1.40 upgrade. One is the whole rom in its type II format the other is just the CE and the radio Type I.
How ever if you don't read the page and think you are got it all worked out then you use the fast option, thats the MA_noID tool (Type II), then download the radio 1.13 which Is a type I but who cares about that any way....then you run the bugger and get a checksum error what the hell have I done now error.
Please correct me if I am wrong so that I can correct the wiki page.

MDAIIIUser,
Yes, I have thought about reading the other threads. What was not obvious to me was that I need to upgrade to the 1.40 ROM to be able to upgrade to the 1.13 Radio. Forgive me if I missed this.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll start over and review all the 1.40 ROM threads.

You dont need to upgrade to CE 1.40 for the radio 1.13.
Just go to wiki and follow the radio upgrade page. It worked for me and many others.
Now if you want to upgrade to 1.40 then do that also on the wiki page, this will however give you the radio 1.12. (unless you read the whole of the page and understand the getting started section of wiki as in how to use fix.bat)

i tried everything can someone set up the files and link it so i can download it. i think im doing something wrong.

Can you click on the link in my signature?

Arg! Lost my post twice.
Anyhow, MDAIIIUser,
Ok. So the 1.40 ROM is not needed. That was my initial impression. I thought you were referring to reading the 1.40 ROM threads.
I also saw that many users were able to upgrade with no problems. That's why I was suprised when I received the checksum error after reading the 1.13 Radio threads and exactly following the Wiki several times before I gave up. I must have missed something because it seemed like the Wiki steps should've worked no problem.
I haven't found anyone posting that has upgraded the radio on a Siemens SX66 yet. I'm wondering if it's Siemens-related which is why I jumped on aih1977's thread (sorry ).
I'll start over and review the threads and directions, etc.
Thanks for your reponses.

so you are saying that
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.13_Upgrade
does not work for you as you have a SX66.
This could be due to the fact that your device has no camera and the header of the rom is for a camera.
I have never read about having to fix the header for a radio upgrade, its a first for me but I can learn.
Please confirm
1) By following the link above I get an error
2) the error I get is the following
3) My rom at the moment is.

The new Radio ROM does work on a SX66 if you folloe the directions. If you have an issue use the upgrade files that you used to upgrade 1.40. Your going to get an error the 1st go around but then it will run smoothly the 2nd try.

MDA,
I'm running 1.13.00 radio on my SX66...
-Chris

Dear MDAIIIUser,
Correct me if I am wrong. All this while, from what I've read through the forum, my understanding is that MA_NoID can only be used to upgrade type II ROMs. If so, I must confess that I've upgraded my radio to 1.13 (type I) with MA_NoID... And it worked... Any clue?
Cheers ^^

Ok i just want someone to help me with upgrading the radio and if someone out there upgraded the radio please link it or pm me with the files that you used to do it.
Thank you.

MDAIIIUser,
Okay, I was able to get the radio stack upgraded to 1.12. Here's what I did. I'm sure it's pretty ugly and probably not the easiest way but:
Followed the Wiki again with errors as follows:
After step 7, running BaUpgradeUt I received the "Error 100: Model ID Error".
After step 5 of the second set of instructions, I received: "Error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error". No joy.
So I then took the iMate 1.40 ROM image and extracted the files, deleted the ms_.nbf and nb_.nbf and ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. It errored with Error 120: Country ID Error. The phone was still in USB mode so I reran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again and it successfully updated the Radio to 1.12. I tested the phone calling my voicemal with no problems.
I then replaced version 1.12 with the 1.13 version. I ran BaUpgradeUt.exe and recieved the "Error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error" (this is using the files from the 1.40 ROM with the 1.13 radio file). I then tried running MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again. The device software update utility showed no information in the from or to sections of the dialog box. It doesn't throw the phone into USB mode and after a minute or so it offers congratulations thinking it upgraded the phone.
I then went back to the 1.13 Radio files I downloaded and ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. I received the Error 100: Model ID Error".
I reran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and received an error that it coundn;t find the ruu.conf file so I renamed the htcruu.conf and htcruu.dll ruu.conf and ruu.dll. I reran it and it would attempt to update the radio, then timeout. I received a communications error (which I didn't record) then tried to soft reset the phone. It was stuck in USB or Serial mode. Cold boot no worky either.
I then reflashed back to 1.12 successfully. I will try to update to 1.13 later tonight or tomorrow.
Here is my phone info. before the update:
Siemens SX66 Cingular
Model No: PH20B1
ROM Date: 01/21/05
Radio Version: 1.02.10
Protocol Version: 1337.35
Ext. ROM Version: 1.33.110 WWE
Thanks for the responses. I'm sure that there's an easier way but I'm happy to be at least 1.12.

Edited: Type on filenames.

God are we having fun.
And Boy am I lost.
This is what I can work out.
You flashed the i-mate rom 1.40 radio 1.12 got errors and re ran it it was fine. Thus you have a 1.40 with radio 1.12
Now you are stuck. you want to flash the radio 1.13 (Type I) using the wiki info and you get error that tells me that you have the wrong device. The file is for a device with a camera you dont have that.
You try the MA_tool which wont work as its for type 2 and gives you a checksum and your stuffed again.
You seem to be the first person that has come up agaisnt this thus we need to upddate wiki with new info.
I have a problem with this as the 1.12 was a type II to Type I convert that I made, nobody had a problem with that before.
So as I asked you to confirm what you have and you have not done that I will ask again.
Please confirm

MDAIIIUser,
Sorry for the confusing post. I wanted to provide some detail. Answers are as follows:
1) Yes.
2) ..."Followed the Wiki again with errors as follows:
After step 7, running BaUpgradeUt I received the "Error 100: Model ID Error". After step 5 of the second set of instructions, I received: "Error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error".
3) Siemens SX66 Cingular
Model No: PH20B1
ROM version: 1.33.10 WWE
ROM date: 01/21/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.33.110 WWE
I believe that I don't actually have the 1.40 ROM. From the directory in whcih I decompressed the iMate 1.40 ROM (PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200.exe) I removed the ms_nbf and nb_.nbf files and left the radio_.nbf file, which I believe will only flash the radio, then updated.
Is that less confusing?
Thanks,

aih1977,
We are actually trying to determine what the issue may be to update your radio on the SX66. Hang in there!

Hochzeitsvideo ??? :lol: :lol:
However, I tried last night to make my XDAIII work with the 1.40.01 ROM, but no way to upgrad that ****. I read something about to use instead of the "BaUpgrade..." the "MaUpgrad..._noID.exe" because sometimes we got some problems with "Country ID Error". I supposed to use the MaUpgrade exe-File with the 1.40.01 ROM Update, the proggi ask me if I want to upgrad from 1.31 to 1.40 ROM vers. and Radio from 1.10 to 1.13 - click OK. done. XDA screen's backlight flashed off and "USB" stands at the top and the Version at the bottom. Ok... after a few sec. the update proggi said: ERROR 120: Model ID Error .... your device isn't designed to work with this patch.
I don't know what tha hell 's goin' on with that thing. Because many other guys in our forum already done this.

do the flash in 3 steps
1) 1.40.1 CE
2) Radio following wiki.
3) Flush the extrom
The 1.40.1 is a type II rom and the radio is a Type I.
Make sure you only use the files that are posted and dont mix them around.
You also might be having problems as your device has a differernt Version Number (that is if you have a camera) thus you need the MA tool.

Hi,
I've done it yesterday night/today morning. I downloaded the vodafone VPAIII update and the Maupdate, extracted the exe to folder and packed the maupgrade in it. started maupgrade "ERROR 120: Country ID Error", aight, "EXIT" started program once more, works ! Great, now I have the 1.40.01 GER ROM and the 1.13 RAdio Version.
And a fully Vodafone branded o2 XDAIII :lol: :lol:
I'll de-brand it today night and install some of the o2 CAB's. But at the moment I'm thinkin' to installe magneto - not sure because of the per4mance probl. :roll:
thx !

O2 XDA IIs Optus Aust - ROM Upgrade error

Hi guys, I hope you can really help me out.
I have an O2 XDA IIs which I just tried to upgrade. Now during the install it comes up saying "ERROR 114" saying that there was an error installing the upgrade.
Now my problem is the phone just sits there with Serial 2.07 on the screen .... i've tried running the upgrade program again (the screen where it says what rom you have, and what you are upgrading to, it's blank in the current rom) but I still get the same error every single time.
I'm trying to upgrade to;
CE Image version 1.40.00
Extended Image Version 1.40.923
Radio Version 1.12.00
Can someone please give me some ideas as to what I can do to get this working again?
Many thanks
Damien

sounds like the country id error, have you tried the MaUpgradeUt_noID file???
this usually fixes this. 8)

Sorry! Bluetooth can no longer be used because the license is expired

Please help. Thanks. I have tried completed install from original rom CE nad Radio. But the same problem. The extended rom is dead I can not upgrade it since it faila at 1%.
Please help Thanks.

Hi
Did you carefully follow WM2005 -> WM2003 process described in wiki ?
It's very important that you resize, reformat ExtROM and do some other stuff before flashing back to WM2003.
Good luck

i have the same problem.. since octobre without solution

Hi
I ask again.
Did you guys restore your ExtROM correctly ?
(using Repart_DOC.exe tool)
GO to wiki -> blueangel -> blueangel WM2005 page -> how to downgrade....
Good luck

hi robal
I tried but when i use Repart_DOC
I set size 16384 or other sizes but if I click format now, the error message pops up"
Create handle failed.
Please help. Thanks!

Hi
Maybe You forgot to do as described in point "3" of downgrade process :
Prep your WM5 device by formating Storage and Hive.
Press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes (well, this is the bootscreen )shows on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
Quickly press Record+Camera before the versions appears at bottom right
OR, press Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
Quickly press Record+Windows Media before the versions appears at bottom right
OR, press Power+Softreset+Windows Media Player button+Record at the same time.
Either way mentioned above should work.
You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes".
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
You can do that with the camera and the record buttons.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
You can do that with the Windows Media Player and the record buttons.
If you are done, press the mail button, it'll show a white screen for a while, just wait.
If the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, Wait more, you are booting.
The welcome screen to set up your device should appear soon.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should've been done when you had WM2005.
I think it's important to do it, before trying to run Repart_DOC (on WM2003).
Any idea ?
If you've forgotten to do it. You probably will have to intall WM2005 again, do it, intall WM2003 and Repart_DOC it. HUh
have fun

DEAR robal,
Thanks for your information. In fact I did everything like you said before. but nothing help.
I know that I have to creat an extended_Rom in order to get it work. (this is not a big deal since we can install manually.
The most imfortant thing is the bluetooth error. Please help me find a sollutin for it. Thanks!

Hi
So you say, you have WM2003 installed with Extrom CABs from some official ROM ? OK
I'm not familiar with this BT failure. Please tell me exactly what ROM are you using ( CE , Radio, ExtROM )
And what version of BT stack you have.

This error is caused by a portion of the Bluetooth memory being overwritten by something else. The people who are trying to help you are right...you need to reflash the device because something didn't work correctly last time.

I had a tool that restored BT MAC-address, but I cannot find it on HDD.
It was sent by imate tech support as a fix for the "bt license has expired" error, so you may try to contact them, or search this forum.

please mamaich if you can find it this will be very helpful

Dear mamaich,
Thanks for your great imformation. I love to get it as soon as you find it. Again, thanks for your pricious time to repond.

Looks Like every body is stuck...I had solved this problem twice and with full success...on ROM 1.4 pls install the Broadcom 1.6 cab and yes...yr problem is solved... :lol:
Only thing..I was not able to put it install thru Ext ROM...even by editing config.txt....may be someone here can do this :roll:

new problem come out after previous one
hi, I have another problem so.. i need your help.
before, My sx66 problem with bluetooth and the Extended_ROM did not exist.
Now, after many tried to install rom from Tmobile, O2. sx66 over and over again, the extended_ROM is now okay to install but sadly the Storage doen't exist any more. Also some contact, task .. pop up after full installation. Finally,after extended_ROM Complete installed, window
Connection Flash Mangaer
pop ups" Saved data is corrupted.
System will erase all data to fix
this error
Yes No
but It does fix anything after I click yes button.
Please help to recover my storage. If there any software that can partition rom for ppc. please share.
p.s. the bluetooth now is freezing.

what u hv to do is use the Ext ROM Unlocker and use Repart_Doc...Set the size of yr Ext ROM...say 15 MB or so and then do the Repartitioning...now flash yr device...u will get yr Ext Rom Back with no such errors as reported by you

problem solved.

Hi hdubli, a question, what is the ROM 1.4 of the blueangel?

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.
