I have in my possession 2 XDA's at the moment. 1 with a USA T-Mobile radio version 6.18 and another with a UK O2 4.21 radio version. I'd like both to have the USA T-Mobile radio version 6.18.

Can someone explain or point me to how to copy the radio from 1 to another with an SD card?

Thanks in advance.

I know about the SD backup and restore through the bootloader. I have version 5.15 btw.

When I try to backup the GSM, and I assume this is the radio, it says "Please connect RS232 and run PC Monitor."

I don't know what this means and havn't found a reference to it yet on this site.

Just get the update from tmobile, and take the radio files out of the english directory and put them in /windows on your device, and flash the radio that way.

The TMobile update has 1 NBF file - NK.nbf The radio and the OS files aren't separated.

Once the T-Mobile OS update is finished, it launches the TMUpdate program that then tries to updates the Radio, but since the radio is at 4.21, it won't update the radio to 6.18 because of some internal version check.

I have a similar problem with an O2 XDA.
OS update works fine. During GSM update the connection dropped.
After reboot I have a blank screen.

When I try to backup the GSM, and this is the radio, it says "Please connect RS232 and run PC Monitor."

I also don't know what this means.
