Re: Please HELP!

One might need to run the upgrade again once the BA goes into bootloader mode. But it works!

Also, everything is working great! Better reception and Bluetooth is more clear than ever. Also, there was a dead spot in coverage in my town, and now my phone works just fine in that area!

I also cooked an extended ROM for the WM2003 1.42 ROM using the ext ROM from the SX66 Standardization Project for SX66 users on the Cingular network that has all of the updated European features. If anyone is interested, please let me know.

With this patch, you will need to install the bi-directional patch from mamaich. 30% of your calls will not allow the other party to hear you. same goes for all the other radio updates. not sure if it has to do with hardware or not but its been my experience with the cingular siemens sx66 that no matter what i update to, i have to install the bi-directional patch to make sure all my callers hear me.

Thanks for all of your inquiries. Because of requests, I uploaded my cooked 1.42 extended rom for the SX66 on Cingulars network. It is a hybrid from the European T-Mobile Ext ROM and the latest ext rom from the SX66 Standardization Project.

One can find it at:

Upload vs. Download FTP folder

Steven:

It seems as if the upload folder does not show the files in the ftp root and ancillary folders. Go here first:

ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Blueangel

You will find the file within that folder. It is named "Extended ROM 1.42 hybrid DrBig74.rar"

Also, you will need to resize you EXT ROM folder to 24-25MB in order to use this EXT ROM.

How to enter bootloader mode?

Hi People,

Have read everywhere that one enters bootloader mode on the SPVM2000 (BA) by holding down the POWER and RECORD buttons, then using the stylus in the reset hole...

Darned if I can get it to work!

It either locks up the phone (another reset to get it to come on), bleeps as it tries to record - not once have I seen the fabled "Grey Serial / USB window"! :(

Does it matter what order I hold the buttons in (i.e which first), or which I release them in?

Trying to upgrade the radio and unlock the phone - any idea why this doesnt work?

BTW - this is a brand new phone, that's never been on the network (OUK). No, it's not nicked, just an insurance replacement before my new v3i arrived a couple of days later. Does this make a difference?

Any help much apreciated...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] DrBig74:
Re: How to enter bootloader mode?

cy80rg:

You must hold down the power, record, and windows media button while hitting the reset on the bottom. I know that it is awkward to do, so I find it easier to push the buttons with the right fingers (right thumb on the power button) and poke the reset button with the left hand.

Best,

DrBig74
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cy80rg:
DrBig74,

Rganks fo that - as you point out, i wasnt holding the Windows button, and yes, it is a contortion trick doing it! :)

Got it to work now tho - even tho the screen backlight doesnt come on - I can still see it says "Serial....v2.08" on the screen.

I take it no backlight is ok?

Thanks for that - lets see if I can get the updates to work now! :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cy80rg:
One final thing ,

it seems to be working; shows XDA2UNLOCK on the screen (in the right light! still no backlight...), and it's trying to read the "fist block" on my pc - dots moving along in DOS window.

Only thing is - it's been trying to read the 1st block for over half an hour! I could understand if this is because of the amount of data / decoding - but is this normal?

Bluetooth Manager NOT responding

Hi all, I recently upgraded my radio stack to the latest version 1.15...everything worked fine until I tried my bluetooth headset and that's when I discovered that something was wrong with my bluetooth. The icon on the lower right taskbar lets me "turn bluetooth on/off" but that's pretty much what it allows me to do. If I go on the start/settings/connections tab and choose the bluetooth icon, that doesn't respond...all other connection icons seem to work....wireless is working fine. sms too as well as phone calling...I don't know what I did wrong in the install...I'm sure I did everything right...can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a patch I need to download for the bluetooth to work again? I would really hate to "downgrade" my radio stack....and go thru the process of reinstalling all my apps and what-nots....sigh...somebody pls help? :(

rom upgrading for improving signal strength in xda2s

Hi all,

m new at all this and not really a techie so dont know a lot about all your posts/messages. was just wondering if there was anyway that i could somehow either tweak my xda2s or upgrade the software or install some software to increase the signal strength as i experience a lot of voice 'breaks' during conversation, which is quite irritating. other than that i am quite happy with the machine.

so if there is some way, i would surely appreciate if someone could guide me to and also through it.

thanks a lot,

What does "radio" mean in context of a Blue Angel

I have the Audiovox XV6600 with Bluetooth BT-PPC/PE ver 1.0.0.3500. The upgrade to Build 3900 talks about first installing a higher Radio ROM version, and that the installation of Bluetooth files is more successful when radio is off.

1) What is "radio" in this context?

2) Are there noticeable generic improvements with BT3900 over BT3500? I read the BT3900 or BT3500 thread and those comments are about individual crackling audio problems.

Many thanks for your insight.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] raymonds:
My first post.... can you help me out? I have read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.15_Upgrade but got stuck.

I'm on WM5 (Tuma 1.3) and am experiencing difficulty in trying out the type II and type I radio versions. I have come across all the listed errors but have never been successful in getting rid of them.

My Device data text before tuma 1.3

PH20B 0 B WWE E O2ASI001 1.40.00 0 0 1.40.923 1.12.00 12.00

My Device data text after tuma 1.3

P H 2 0 B W W E A T%CID? 5 . 0 3 . 0 2 TuMa 1.12.00 % 4

With the first method (Type II), I've extracted BA_RRPT_Radio_11500.exe and placed the extracted files in a desktop folder that I named "radio"; and I've also extracted the MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP file and placed the exe file in the "radio" folder. Upon clicking on MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, I am able to see the current radio version (1.12) as well as the new one (1.15). But when I click on next, the AS stops working, and later on the exe file follows suit with an ERROR 101: CONNECTION ERROR flash. Then I run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again and I get ERROR 150: ROM UPGRADE UTILITY ERROR. I'm then at a loss for the SHIP ROM version to use.

With the second method (Type I - mamaich's), I have no idea how to use the xda3nbftool, and couldn't find any posts on how to go about changing the country ID.

I obviously do not have the ability to get the harder second method (Type I).... WAAAY out of my league.

Here are some things I've been wondering about:

1. Do I need to to use setoperator again for this 1.15 radio version to "T%CID?"?

2. How (where) do I run the xda3nbftool that mamaich mentioned (command prompt, blueangel)?

3. Do I need to go to bootloader mode? Do I need to soft reset or hard reset?

4. What SHIP ROM version am I supposed to get given the two device data texts?

use standard baupgrade tool

no data loss, Helmi's WM5/AKU3.0 ROM kept working, no progs or ramdisk lost. Just great.

4. Make sure u have radio_.nbf, RUU.conf and RUU.dll in the same folder as MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

5. Double-click MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in the radio upgrade folder

6. Follow the instructions on your screen

7. Note: On WM5, no need to do hard-reset, just soft-reset. On WM3 a HardReset is neccessary!

With "First Method (Quick/Easy) (TYPE II)" I get to the screen which correctly tells me I'm upgrading the radio rom from 1.06.02 to 1.15.00 but when I click Upgrade it just times out with a connection error.

"Second Method Type I (EASY)" doesn't even get that far before it reports a connection error.

I haven't tried "Second Method Type I (harder)" yet in case there's no point on Vista!

It's only the installation method that change or are 2 different versions of the same rom ver. 1.15.00 ?

Type I and II radio roms are the same.

The only thing is differnt is the format of the file.

Type I need to be fixed with edit.bat and the xda tool

Type II you use with the NoId tool.

As for 1.13, it is true that a lot of people feel that it is a better Radio.
