Just in case people are wondering about the T-mobile Radio Stack.

This update will also give you "Always ON" connection, and the signal, (contrary with other Radio Stacks, with T-mobile" is actually higher than 1 line, actually it goes all the way to the top.

When I had the first 2003 Roms and later the AT&T stack, I only would get 1 or 2 lines of signal. Now I get more lines, (not to say that it never goes back to one), but the connection seems better, I haven't tested it like it should though, I just have made a couple of calls, but so far so good.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Startup:
wmodem.exe

I'm looking on my xda and I don't see wodem.exe anywhere and I still have the last official update from t-mobil. Where is wmodem.exe? Its not in the windows directory.

(and btw: what's it used for :roll: )
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] GregP74:
Ok, I'm going to ask just so I don't doing anything wrong and fry my phone.

I've got the backup image of my original T-Mobile rom on my hard drive, copied with xdarit.

Right now the phone has got the AT&T radio stack, and the WM 2003 4.00.05 beta.

What steps do I need to take to put the new T-Mobile stack & rom on there? Do I need to put the original rom back on the SD card and have it reinstall? Do I just go ahead and run the new T-Mobile update?

I'm pretty much just concerned about having the AT&T radio stack on there. I want to get the new one on without toasting anything!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Silversurfer:
Hi Fidl,

Can you please post the wmodem exe somewhere?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Yorch:
You are in the same position that I was, what you need to do is to use the Xdrite to restore the original Image from T-mobile. (Don't worry about the At&T Radio stack yet). Let the bootloader do his thing.

Once you boot, the T-mobile will try to update his signal cause sees that it has a weird ass Radio Stack (AT&T), while is trying to do that go to your \Windows\Startup Folder and delete the Tmoupdate file (the one with the little "T"). Reset, once you have your system stable and normal, proceed to run the new T-mobile Upgrade, follow instructions and that's it. Its going to do the Radio Update and then the ROM update. Hard Reset and that's it.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Fidl:
I think you have some 3.17 Version of the ROM, so you can extract it with

dumprom <romfile> <directory>

i.e.

dumprom nk.nbf -d romfiles

or

dumprom -3 nk.nbf -d romfiles

So i think nearly everyone already has that file somewhere...

If someone needs it anyway ... send me a message!

I'll answer it when I'm back in my Office..

There's no .exe version of this wm2003 tmo official pre-release is there?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] GregP74:
:shock:

Doh!

I decided to run the exe install. It started up, told me it was going to first flash my radio. And that's about as far as it went.

It said there was an error and to reboot my phone normally and it would fix the problem (or something to that effect). After that it just sat with the startup screen and as someone in a previous post said, had the G and R on there about the rom version.

I went into the bootloader and tried downgrading to the 3.14 rom with my sd card. Now it reboots and shows the old startup screen, sits like that for a while, then just hangs with a blank grey screen.

Don't think there's much I can do from here but call up and ask for a replacement :roll:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Freshster:
Greg,

Give it some time to fully bootup with 3.14. When the radio stack is corrupted like mine was and yours is now, CE boots up VERY slowly. Give it time, then follow the rest of my instructions that I listed earlier in this topic. Once it boots, tmupdate will try to restore the older radio stack and will fail at approx. 2%. Don't worry though, follow the instructions and you should be ok.

If you need more help, PM me.

DON'T DO IT if you don't want to screw up your XDA!

Re: GSM frequency of T-Mobile new ROM?

how do you install the OS rom 4.00.10 without upgrading the radio??

the exe file does both together...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ashshlay:
Don't use the exe file. Use the nbf file and you'll just end up upgrading the OS... so you'll have to do it with a SD card for now.

And I think I'm going to upgrade my radio using the "RSUpgrade.exe" and "RSUpgrade.cp64" method by copying them into the device's Windows directory and running RSUpgrade.exe. I have the AT&T upgraded radio and I will post my results as soon as I can get the new ROM download completed and running. I would suggest anyone wanting to use the new T-Mo radio and OS first upgrade radio then downgrade ROM via SD flash method then run upgrade program or flash again with SD card using the new nk.nbf file

Anyone else got some easier methods before I play with death again on my XDA??? I think its sorta exhilirating to play with something that can go out on you every time you do this... am I crazy?

Good thing

1) This 4.00.10 rom is quite stable.

BAD THINGS

1) You can't flash back others rom to your XDA unit after using this 4.00.10 rom.

2) DO NOT copy the wm03hotfix to the startup area, it will make your radio signal to go wild.

Problem flashing

1) pop massage : Error 011 : execute remote communication program error. Please make sure that the USB/serial cable is properly connected. But the activesync is connected.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] barjohn:
See QMAN's comment above. I haven't tried it yet but I will try it shortly. Also, if your phone is an SX-56 you can't go back to the T-Mobile original because you never had it in the first place. So, I will try the O2 radio route. QMAN, are you sure this won't mess up the unit since the O2 radio ROM is not for US frequencies?

Did you do this on a US 900/1900 unit or a European version? I will wait for your post before trying.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] NordicNINE:
It's a T-mobile phone.

I've followed those instructions and it installed that radio stack (v4.21), but I can't install the WM2K3 upgrade after that. Either by doing the RS update alone or by running the exe.

If I put the two RS files in the Windows directory and run RSUPDATE, it just keeps failing and rebooting until I remove it from the Startup folder.

I can then recover by installing 4.21.

If I run the EXE it says I have the wrong ROM verson. How do I get the original TMO 2002 ROM on there?

Note: If you're planing on using the T-Mobile WM2003 ROM, then upgrade using the SD Card method this way you by-pass the radio stack upgrade.

Yes I did it on a US unit. See your radio stack is already blown so from this point all we're looking for or needing is a working radio stack (its a ActiveSync issue) it makes no difference what band its on because we're going to upgrade it anyways. I hope I'm making sense, anyhow it worked for me.

BTW this method was used after both the PC install and direct radio stack upgraded failed, you know the one were you copy the needed radio stack files to your units Windows folder and install from there. HTH

For all of you having the same problem I have been having after upgrading to the O2 4.21 RSU here is what I have found makes the loading of the RSUpgrade files into the \windows directory work.

Forget the O2 stuff, just copy it to the ppc windows folder

Since I had already upgraded from XDA Dev 2003 rom and ATT US stack, here were my steps that worked[I'm not including all those ones that didn't] to flash a US Tmo XDA to the latest tmo usa release of 2003.

1. Get an SD card reader. You really should have one. It's the best way, and things often go wrong, and using an SD card is the only real way to recover.

2. Flash back to the old 3.14 version of the orig Tmo rom. You can download this from the Tmo usa website. Use Winrar to extract the image from the exe file, and use the extracted nbf file to upgrade via the SD card reader and xdarite[old version].

3. Once you have flashed the ROM with the old Tmo version, you will have to kill the tmo Radio ROM update. Else, you get stuck in an endless loop where it trys to update, fails, then trys again, over and over. You can do this by deleting out of the XDA's windows\startup folder the tmoupdate file. Just delete it, using File Explorer, then soft reset. You are now ready for the next step.

4. Use winrar to extract the nbf file from the tmo 2003 near final release exe that you can d/l from xda-developers.com ROM upgrade forum. Also, notice that under the ENGLISH folder are the radio upgrade files. You will need to copy these to the windows folder on the XDA when you are done with the ROM upgrade to update the radio portion. You don't have to do this, and could just stay with the ATT radio version, but you never know if this could be a problem down the road do you? Unlikely, but might as well.

5. Copy the tmo2003 nbf file to an sd card using xdarite, then flash the rom of your XDA. Next, remove any tmo radio update file from the startup folder.

6. With the radio files you copied over to the windows folder, run the radio update. Note, you need the 2 monitor files, as well as the two rsupgrade files to get this to work right.

7. It might die the first time during the radio update. Just soft reset and try again, it happened to me as well.

8. Enjoy your new tmo and radio update. :-)

Want to revert, no SD Card Reader

Hi

Upgraded to the T-Mo ROM, which I find to be extremely unstable - my XDA hangs on me every now and then and even resets by itself. It also resets occassionally when I turn the device off. Other problems include - call sometimes not answered when I press the green button (have to use the stylus to click on 'Answer'), XDA hangs on you in the middle of a call so you cant turn it off, and so on and so forth.

Trouble is, I cant revert to my earlier rom (PPC 2003 cooked at Jeff's Kitchen) which was very stable. Cant revert to the O2 version either.

And oh yes - I dont have an SD Card reader and have never used that version before.

What r the options?

By way of thanks heres my 2 cents worth re: bugs in wm2003.

Occasionaly activesync will not recogniz the xda (especially when switching between machines). A quik rest will fix this temporarily. Anyone have a permanent fix.

Phonext does not work! No more assigning ring tones to specific users or groups,,, drat. I assum eventualy t will be updated and we will get this capability back.

Video playback is extremely shaky. Keeps stalling on even short clips and losing audio. No clue why that would be. In dev rom 317 turning off the phone would improve the situation but that no longer makes a difference?

Any tips on possible fixes for these minor inconveniences would be apreciated.
