XDA1 with GSM ERROR on bootloader 1.51

[james@jstirling.co.uk]

:cry: I upgraded a TMobile XDA1 got the main ROM upgrade then went and tried to upgrade the radio stack. As I see from the many posts a bad thing to do. But this leaves me with a broken unit. The radio was T310. I can not see how I can solve this problem. I have an SD card, I have a friends German unit with an ENG Rom and the orignal radio which I will leave alone. How can I fix mine?

Thanks

Looks pretty much the same as my problem. By pressing the joystick after the error message, I get one step further, but no contact or upload of the ROM. I hope some wise person can supply an answer, :roll:

I have tried a number of solutions. None seem to work. :cry: If someone has the GSM rom and a solution to upload it let us know. I have tried coping a new radio version to the windows dir on the PPC, this fails. I have removed the back cover and battery again this does not work. The only alternative is to send it back for repair (expensive) or get a new one. I have looked at the solutions in the forum area and on the web but can not find an answer. The unit is an old TMobile (GERMAN) Xda. Upgraded the OS OK then messed up the radio. :oops: So as I say let me know if someone has a proven solution. Thanks.

How to fix GSM Error Problem ....

Download the XDA-Developers ROM Version 1.1.

Install the ROM on your Device via SD-Card and bootloader.

The phone should start up and give you the screen allignment and the whole menu!

Download an Upgrade for your device. This depends ont the model you are using. Check the sticker at the back of your device.
If it is a PW10A-Model download RSU Version 4.16.
If it is a PW10B-Model download RSU Version 6.24.20.
Extract the downloaded ZIP-File and copy all files to the /Windows directory of your device.
Copy the RSUpgrade.exe additional to the /windows/startup directory.

Make an soft reset of your device.

Maybe the upgrade will stop again at 1%, this may occur when you have an empty battery.

Place your device in the cradle. Run Active Sync on your device.
The RSU Upgrade will run in the background.

Wait for about 10 Minutes. The upgrade should complete in the background....
Afterwards all should work again...


Good luck....

Many thanks for the information. I have tried this but to sorry to say this does not work for me. I can get the RSUgrade.exe to load on the PDA, it stops at 1% and then hangs. The XDA was a TMobile GER unit with 32Mb. I have two units the same, I attempted to upgrade the radio on one and it failed at 10% rebooted and hung with GSM error. Since then I am at a loss as to the next step apart from throwing it in the bin.

.. and no solution for the GSM Error. There is no possibility to get a connect (O2 germany) and the RSU-Utility stops after 1% - always.

Please help!

Have you tried leaving it for 24 hours with the 1% on screen?

[zaeng]

The problem is that there is a message "Flash failed - press ok to restart."

No possibility to leave the program..
