G'day fellas

I've got an O2 XDA, and just cooked up a ROM in the kitchen, flashed it to WM2003 4.01.12 ENG O2euro, which went fine. I then tried to update the Radio Stack, using O2 Latest Official Radio Stack RU 4.21 found here:
http://www.yorch.net/upgrades.htm I did this because the phone wasn't working at all, but I can only get a low signal where I am anyway.

It tried to update the Radio, went to 10% and then 'update failed'.
Now when I try to turn it just hangs on the load screen, and when I go into Wallaby Bootloader V5.17 I get 'GSM ERROR'!!

Is that the wrong radio stack for Australia? what on earth can I do now? It won't even boot up into the pocket PC.

Am I able to flash it or re-flash it again, just so I can get it working?

Please help... thanks. :cry:

You have the same problem as me. You can enter the OS but you will need to wait for a long time(~10min). Poor man, i think you can repair it only in the center, may be you will be luck if in your country there is center. Im moscow there is not. When you repaired xda, tell me ok. GOOD LUCK

Thanks for your reply, Long.

I have searched these forums extensively for an answer, and even if I was able to 'boot from SD' I don't think that would enable me to flash the radio again, only the ROM.

Yes there is a service centre here, and I would assume they are able to repair XDA's. I will take it there and hope that the repairs will not be expensive.

It's such a shame this happened, since this is my first Pocket PC, and I've only had it a few weeks. It's been a fantastic device (apart from the phone not working properly) and to think that it can stuff up so easily just by applying an 'official' update... :?

I would very much be curious as to how they would repair this at the service centre, so that we could possibly be able to fix this problem ourselves.
