RSU problems: possible solution for US users

[Peter Poelman]

Last time i tried to flash my xda with the radio upgrade i lost all functions on the device and had to send it back to the service centre to be repaired...

There's something about these Radio Stack Upgrades that's not right. We see many messages a week from people upgrading their Radios and being left with non-functional units. We advise against upgrading the Radio Stack unless you're upgrading with a version that's fixing some known issue that is affecting you. In other words: if your GSM works, we presently advise against fixing it.

If i run the exe that has beed kindly created is there any chance of screwing up my device again!...

The OS ROM on the other hand is much harder to screw up (although we managed, but only once, and for reasons of our own stupidity). You should be safe running Jeff's exe, and you'll be happy afterwards...

It seems to me that there are more than a few who have made the GSM rom upgrade oops. Someone should be kind and make a dump of their GSM for us foolish saps who made that poor call and found this information afterwords. I have found ways to bypass the GSM startup if you get stuck in the never ending "Updating Rom" and "Error, unable to update" horror!

Ok, figured out my own solution to this problem, without needing to send it in to T-Mobile! :mrgreen:

1) Here is what you do, you go to ATT's site and download their upgrade for their SX56.
(if you have an ATT XDA already you can skip this step)
2) run the up date than let it error out saying you don't have the right rom version or what ever.
3) Go into your "Program Files" directory and than "SX56 upgrade utility" directory.
4) Copy "adaptRom.exe" and "Start.bat" from the "XDA-developers-SER-v11.exe" file into this directory and run start

5) Run "upgrade.exe" now and it should install fine and install an american GSM and ATT's OS.

Works great I must admit! :D

Note: If you want to keep T-Mobile's OS, get "XDArit.exe" and back up the CE os as they instruct on their page for it. Than after you've done the above installation, simply copy the OS back over.

I've got all the files you mention, and am ready to change my T-Mobile PPCPE to an ATT device. I've already cancelled T-Mobile service, and signed up with ATT, so I have a working ATT SIM card. During the procedure you outline, do I just leave the SIM card out, then after upgrade is finished, install ATT SIM card? just checking - Thanks in advance.
