Upgraded from T-Mobile 4.01.00 to ATT A.30.09

[graemeposkitt]

So I upgraded to the ATT rom and radio stack to do a comparison from the T-mobile rom and 6.24.01 radio stack.
Impressions are that the ATT rom/radio are as good if not better than my older rom/radio although with the ATT rom i now seem to be always roaming on the cingular network rather than the t-mobile network ???
verified this by reverting to the t-mobile rom (left the att radio stack) and low-and-behold the phone reports that i have a t-mobile signal once again.

is this a problem or nothing to worry about ...

thanks

There is no problem at all. i called t-mobile to ask about this roaming signal thing, and they told me that it is perfecty allright and they will not bill anything extra.

here is something else i found out - T-mobile and Cingular have a agreement, in places where t-Mo does not have their own setup - Cingular is used - so infact even when it says T-Mobile you are actually on the Congular network, it is just the T-MO customized ROM which says that you are on T-MO.

so relax and enjoy a better ROM

lethaleagles is correct. Just before T-Mobile came into the SF Bay Area/and perhaps most of CA, it was announced that T-Mo has signed an agreement with Cingular to lease their lines; however, if I also recall, the data technology is all T-Mo's.

The software of the T-Mo Radio Stack replaces the reporting of the IMEI's current network being Cingular to T-Mobile.

Hi, can I know how you guy upgrade from 4.01 to 30.09? I'm currently stuck at 4.01 with Bootloader 5.17 I only have 128mb MMC Card and Xda Cradle.

[graemeposkitt]

So the method I used was the tried and trusted SD flashing method.

I extracted the nbf file from the ATT .exe and burnt it to a 128mb SD card reset the device and accepted the prompt to flash from SD.
Once the ROM was loaded and looked ok I reset the partnership and re-sync'd contacts and calendar, loaded my custom ring tones and theme.
I then copied the radio upgrade files over to the PPC and ran rsupgrade.
Went without hitch and I am very pleased with the end result.

Oh obviously I backed up my data before embarking on this path.

I keep getting the message saying it cannot find the RSugrade file. Can anyone tell me what files and where should I put in the PPC?

Thanks!

Have you guys tried to get a GPRS connection after the upgrade?
If so did it work and is it still working? (somethings tells me its a T-Mobile issue but I thought I ask).

Also can somebody post their Device Information with this new ROM/ radio stack, I'm most interested in what your Protocol version has been changed to!

Thanks!

You need the below files and you put them in your devices windows root folder:
monitor_ul_bs.m0
monitor_ul_bs.map
RSUpgrade.cp64
RSUpgrade.exe

qman,

yes i got gprs to work after the upgrade - i had to manually create the connections, making sure they were NOT setup to use the ATT proxy. they worked pefectly yesterday, but i just tried them today and no joy :twisted: i am putting this down to flakey t-mobile gprs service and will try again later today.

Device Information output:

ROM version: A.30.09 ENG
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio Version: A.33.02
Protocol Version: 1.3.3

Hi Q - catch up w/me on MSN Messenger...I have protocol 324e4 as well. GPRS seems to be slow on the ATT Network (I also have an ATT SIM). With 4.01.00 and my T-Mo SIM connection was faster - although both attempts are with only the 6.24.01 RS.

Right-on Rey and thanks! :wink:

I upgraded my t-mobile xda last night, I didn't however upgrade the radio stack. This is working very well for me. I'm using the 6.24.01 RUU and the latest AT&T Rom. Those of you who are waiting this is the way to do it as you can then always go back to a t-mobile rom.

Qman,

yes i got GPRS to work after the upgrade - i had to manually create the connections, making sure they were NOT setup to use the ATT proxy. they worked perfectly yesterday, but i just tried them today and no joy :twisted: i am putting this down to flakey t-mobile GPRS service and will try again later today.

Device Information output:

ROM version: A.30.09 ENG
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio Version: A.33.02
Protocol Version: 1.3.3

Glad to hear you got it working!
GPRS has been giving me the fists here in LV (is it ROM, is it the radio stack..upgrade..downgrade..what hell is going on)! :evil:

I finally called T-Mobile this morning to see what was going on and they told me that they were having system wide problems, O really!

Anyhow I'm up and running with A.30.09 ENG as you can see by my Sig.
