I have the very same promlems as Tuningszocske listed above with this 1.06.00 radio update on my Jasjar.

Frequent freezes and reboots. There is no use from more rapid answering times, since my phone is totally dead few times per day (miss lot more calls than earlier)!

My Jasjar has ROM 1.13.53 WWE, 09/23/05, Protocol 42.40.P8, ExtROM 1.13.137 and radio 1.06.00.

Could these freezes be some incompatibility issue with these ROMs? I think it's time to clean install, and at the same time I could upgrade/change ROM-files. I know there has been lot of discussion concerning which ROM is the best one, but could someone recommend _working_ ROM-combination with this new radio on Universal.

Haven't tried yet, but can earlier radio version be downgraded over the newer one? I had NOT the single freeze/need to soft reset over few week period when using 1.03.00 radio (besides solved/recognized Skype/Opera issues).

Recommendations anyone, please!

I upgraded my Exec last night - worked a dream, with no problems or side effects. Reception does seem to have improved a bit.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eappel:
Hi I did the stupid thing of not actually following all the instructions,

I just installed update over a bluetooth ActiveSync connection.

It never finished but after a soft reset my device sits with a grey screen

with the words Serial and v0.60 at the bottom.

If i plug the usb cable in the text chnages to USB but no other respinse\boot...

I have tried to hard reset and soft reset but the device wont boot

Any ideas?

Eric
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] wh1sp3r:
I had the same problem.

When the device says "USB" it's not locked at all, it's just locked in USB mode.

This means that you can re-plug the cable and launch the update.

Try to launch the update, several times if necessary, and the update will do the rest by itself.

I solved this way!

bye!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eappel:
Aahh, 100% perfect now, thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] khaledelfeki:
After over a week of trying this radio version (1.06) I'm fed up with frequent freezes and soft resets.

I will go back to radio version 1.04... I used it for more than two months with no problems at all.

All the best for everyone.

Radio upgrade

Installed the upgrade no problem. Averaging an extra bar reception now. My old Xda IIs as well as my exec both gave problems with the other party often unable to hear what I was saying even in areas of best reception. This seems to have been fixed now. Great, thanks.

John.

The new Radio ROM really does improve battery life. The improvement is so good that I don't need to use the PowerSave option!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] d.zee:
backup battery no longer recognized

I think it occurred after upgrading to radio version 1.06: the backup battery is empty and is not uploading anymore. It says the battery type is unknown, and the word "unknown" is blinking somewhat.

Question:

1. Supposedly all memory is in ROM? so it won't get lost if your battery goes down? Yes? :?

2. Anyone out there with a similar experience?

3. Can it be hacked in the registry? :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rapax:
Universal has no backup battery. Doesn't need one, as the memory is non-volatile (doesn't lose data when power fails).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] d.zee:
I knew that memory could'nt be lost. but I did'nt know Universal did not have a backup battery. So why does the device say that there should be a backup battery. Is everybody having the same notification that the backup battery is not recognized?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] khaledelfeki:
Universal has no back up battery.

problem with gprs monitor

I have a mda pro on t mobile web'n'talk. The radio was on 1.00.02 and I'd just upgraded to 1.06. Had to run it twice before it would install.

What I have found so far :

1) my gprs monitor has stopped working and says trial has expired, I was using the one that came on with the tmobile cds

2) I haven't had the chance to road test this new version, but the reception didn't seem much different.

Is there an identifier in the radio rom that the gprs monitor checks ? I presume it is licensed for just the tmbile version :(

Whats the easiest way to go back to 1.00.02 or can I get hold of a version of gprs monitor that'll work properly with this new rom ?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stickeresq:
why is it I haven't lost any messages or settings, my GPRS monitor works perfectly, my signal strength has increased, no phantom battery indicators have appeared, my phone doesn't freeze or crash and this is after upgrading to 1.06.00.

am I the exception not the rule or is it more as I suspect these issues that are probably due to user error when upgrading, tinkering, messing up the registry or third party apps that have been retro-compatible to the universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] firestormer:
stickresq,

I speculating that the tmobile gprs monitor checks the radio rom id and finds an O2 id.

in fact I've just gone to your original posting

Could you package it with the T Mobile .nbf file ?

I think you're right about the different states people's universal can end up, WM is still immature technology, probably no better than Windows 3.1 or NT 3.5.

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stickeresq:
maybe so.

for the t-mobile encoded one, download the other 1.06.00 update.

I'm sure the other geezer didn't bother changing the operator string.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] firestormer:
stickresq,

where can I find the other 1.06.00 radio ?

the search function is not too good at finding whats pertinent

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
firestormer, the download link is on the first post of the first page ? -- i'm sure I tried the link last night and it prompted to download ok..

Just noticed something else that this Radio upgrade seems to have fixed (for me anyways!) - I have the Bluetooth switching itself off after hours/days problem when the device is set to turn off after 3 mins.

Before the upgrade, the Blue LED used to blink when Bluetooth had switched itself off, so you didn't know whether Bluetooth was actually on or off without going to the Connection setting (or trying to answer a call via the BT headset and realising quickly enough..).

Now this Radio upgrade hasn't fixed this BT problem in itself (i.e. it still turns itself off mysteriously), but at least the Blue LED doesn't flash!!

Only a small gain, but a worthwhile one and certainly a step in the right direction. I've now switched off the "Turn off device if not used for 3 mins" settings and monitoring: A. how long the battery lasts (so far used 20% in the past 5hrs with little/no use), and B. whether BT stays on until I say so.. ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GDawes:
GPRS monitor

I think the one on the T-mobile CD is a trial.

Mine complained likewise after a few weeks of use.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
FWIW: I've just applied the Radio upgrade to my O2 Xda Exec - it went relatively smoothly (apart from the fact that it wasn't obvious that I wasn't expecting to see an ActiveSync link once it was in Bootloader mode). It's perhaps a bit too early to be jumping to conclusions but:

1. GSM Reception in my house seems marginally improved (from a bar point of view).

2. Connection to my wireless network seems a bit speedier (as reported earlier in the thread).

3. Most importantly (and interestingly), my new Bluetooth headset (BT 23D from eBay) has now started working. Previously it would initiate last number redial, etc, but wouldn't route any audio to it, but it seems to be working fine now. I had soft reset and so forth when testing it, and that made no difference, so I can only imagine it's the update that's fixed the problem - cool.

Cheers,

Steve.

1.06 Radio on I Mate Jasjar - Working?

Nearly everybody that has posted appears to be an O2 user, the only two users that I could see that were Imate Jasjar users complained, do any other other JASJAR users report positive effects. I am on 1.03 still.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] foxnolds:
Re: 1.06 Radio on I Mate Jasjar - Working?

I upgraded my Jasjar Radio from 1.03 to 1.06 with success.

It fixed the ring response time dramatically. The Mobile now sounds between the callers first and second ring tone. Previous version was a 10-12 second delay resulting only one ring from Mobile before redirection to message bank!

Only problem I have experienced that I have yet to repeat, is I could not answer a call with clam shell open and pressing the green top left pick up button. There are other ways that work though.

Bluetooth headset Jabra BT250V still works well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
Hi Foxnolds

Thanks for the quick reply, good to see a few aussies around here helping out, i'm in Bne.

Did you notice any other improvements that have been indicated here (improved GSM coverage, improved battery life, improved BT reception communications with headset?)

My phone is on 1.03 and still always rings between the first and second ring when closed, and immediate if open in PDA style.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RyanZA:
Im using a JASJAR too and upgraded to the 6 ver radio rom. I havent noticed anything bad, but Im not sure if Ive noticed anything good either. I disagree with the guy who says it makes the jasjar crash more - your jasjar should not be crashing in the first place!

Anyway, as far as I can tell, it does nothing harmful and *its possible* it gives better signal/battery life.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] foxnolds:
No not really. I'm not a big Phone user. I mainly use my Jasjar as a miniature Laptop replacement and only very occasional phone use.

It will take me weeks to form some sort of opinion on reception changes based on my small phone usage patterns.

I had to get my Phone service provider, Telstra to extend the message bank transfer delay from 15 seconds to 30 seconds so I can actually get a chance to answer incoming calls! Instead of incoming calls being free, I had to pay for message bank missed call retrieval then pay for the conversation as it was now initialed from my own mobile. Good business for Telstra, bad for users... :roll:

1.06.00 radio IS working with JJ

I must withdraw my earlier complaints about 1.06.00 radio and Jasjar. After hard-reset and clean install of my 3rd party software, everything is fine with radio. Answering delay is gone when not using hands free, but there is slight (1-2 sec) delay with building voice connection to my Jabra BT800.

Still, also after hard reset there has been few freezes when answering with BT800 _very quickly_ (when testing the answering delay). But normal everyday use is definitely better with new radio (answering delay much shorter/gone, faster connection uilding with wlan, power consumption at least not increased).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tailazoom:
I have a jasjar radio 1.03.

Wether in on or off state, answers EVERY call after first ring and before the second one. Battery on standby with only GSM active and without any screen or calls activity is 10% a day. Bluetooth turning itself off isn't solved even with 1.06 radio. I dont see any reason to upgrade.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] foxnolds:
I agree with RyanZA on this also.

I doubt a radio upgrade is the cause of the crashing his Jasjar. I would suspect non WM2005 aware applications the likely culprit.

Upgrade to 1.06.00

Just upgraded my QTEK 9000 and all went well, sound quality in BT Bluetrek G2 headset much much better. Many thanks to all in this thread. :D :D :D :D

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] docraj:
I have upgraded my Dopod 900 without any issues and it is working (to use stickeresq's phrase) swimmingly. My thanks to you, stickeresq, for your work.

To others who are having issues I would suggest that if you follow the instructions to the letter the chances of encountering problems are minimum. I have gone through this complete thread and this upgrade is showing better than 90% success rate across all models.

To help future upgraders I would only add an additional step:

6A. Remove the USB cable and soft reset (do NOT hard reset) by pushing the reset button only.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Biso007:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Hi, yes I tried it for 2 days and I experienced some problems on it. I reverted back to 1.06.00. Some problems I have are notification error lights keep signaling even after I dismissed it. Another thing I noticed is that my antenae bars keep fluctuating unlike in 1.06.00 where it is solid 4 bars.

You can check the thread I posted above for some more detailed experiences. Others reported that it is working fine for them. Not for me though. :o Version 1.06.00 is the best for me yet.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kinkybookworm:
DO NOT USE THIS UPGRADE IF YOU HAVE AN XDA EXEC.

I did, and now have a machine which i cannot sync. the screen shows USB 1.o even after a hard reset.

This upgrade is not for the XDA EXEC.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
Not true. v1.08 works fine on my Exec. I can't say it's any better/worse than 1.06 that I've noticed, but it certainly works.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kinkybookworm:
Steve, You'll note that we are talking about Radio 1.06.00. I'm pleased that version 1.08.00 worked for you, however I know am the proud owner of an expensive paperweight and didn't want anyone else to go through the same problem as myself.

My problem was that during instalation the installer stopped and told me that it was not for use with my exec and that I should use the correct program. Unfortunately it had already wiped my OS and now my PC doesn't recognise that the USB is connected and therefore cannot try again or revert back to O2 rom image. :( :cry:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] difensore:
there is an issue with USB connectivity on WM5.0 and the universal with ActivSync .... it's happened to me several times .. actually whenever i upgrade anything to my Exec ..... what i usually do is i make sure that the memory card has been ejected at the same time i have done a soft reset when you get stuck on bootloader mode ... i'm sure it'll work for you ....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
I sympathise, but I think your circumstances are exceptional. I've upgraded to 1.06, then to 1.08, and last night I went back to 1.06 to see if I could spot any differences. This is what I did:

1. Switch off all radio (I left the sim and mem card in place)

2. Start the upgrade process.

3. It reads the existing versions, and you should select the option to proceed.

4. It puts the Exec into boot loader mode, and then fails with a communication error.

5. Exit out of the update program.

6. Your Exec is now in boot-loader with the "USB 1.0" screen showing - your PC possibly saying there is an unrecognised/malfunctioned USB device.

7. Unplug/plug in your USB cable.

8. Re-run the update program - it will now not show any version info for your device, but continue anyway.

9. The upgrade should then proceed to completion.

I'm not saying it's fool-proof, but this is what's happened to me on my 3 upgrade cycles, and to my colleague who upgraded to 1.06. He had a complication of the fact that he was using a USB hub which caused problems, but once he removed that, it worked as I've said above.

Whilst there are always warnings with most firmware updates for any type of device, I think this is a bit strong, and it's particularly the last line that I was saying wasn't true.

Hope you get yours sorted.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
Are you willing to give away your paperweight? I'll pay for postage :D

Kidding aside, this (getting stuck on bootloader) has happened to me lots of times and have always managed to bypass it. Normally this would require a RADIO ONLY upgrade/downgrade/update then after a hard reset, everything works fine. Now if it doesn't "recognize", i tried it on my other computer, then no problem so I think in my case, it is a problem with my activesync as it works on other computers.

Where do i send the postage? :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] edgley:
I have it working on Orange.

Not noticed any signal improvement; still a whole lot worse than my p900.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
I've just downgraded from 1.08, and noticed that my TomTom traffic connection dropped a lot more on the way home tonight -possibly as it passes from UTMS to GSM zones with GPRS active.

I didn't have any joy with the rasio update for the XDA Exec/M5000, possibly because mine's on orange.

Anyone know of any later ROM updates i can grab?

Operator Version 7.113.1.130

Radio 1.06 improvments I have noticed. I feel this is the best thing I have done to my exec.

1 much better pick up time. no 2 sec gap between hitting call answer and hearing the person.

2 wireless network connection signal is slightly improved.

3 much better signal strength on phone. 3g 2 bars compared to 2g 4 bars. (may be due to it being a clear day).

4 bluetooth working much better on headset not dropping calls.

hope this helps.

Help, phone powered off during radio update and now, nothing

I was in the middle of the update when the auto-shut off (to save battery) kicked in.

Now the phone wont power up, wont sync, wont charge. I can only get the power led to appear red if I remove my sim card.

Is there anything I can do? Is there a hard mechanical reset I can perform?

Thank you,

Jason
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JasonStauffer:
Found the hard reset but still need assistance

I performed a hard reset as this: Do a hard reset (press and hold the two buttons on the top row that have horizontal lines on, meanwhile poking the soft reset button on the back.

That seemed to work, except the screen is displaying:

Serial (changes to USB when connected to my laptop:

v1.00

Nothing else...

What now? I'm figuring the hard reset doesn't touch the ROM so I'm still in the same situation?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
The Serial/USB screen is the boot loader mode, I think - so all you need to do is try and kick off the radio upgrade again with the USB cable plugged in.

Radio Upgrade for Qtek 9000?

The radio update doesn't seem to work on Qtek. After getting my phone back to life (had to get a hold of the Qtek 9000 ROM Update otherwise I received an invalid country code error) I retried with the same results.

It seems the battery didn't die after all...the upgrade on the Qtek throws it into bootloader mode.

Running Radio 1.03.00 and hoping for another version...
