Hi all,

First of all I want to thank you for your time.

I bought a Blue Angel device from a friend of mine but unfortunately I'm not so sure who made it.

It does have the bluetooth, camera on the back, wireless wifi, etc.

About a week ago, the phone function died. I verified that it wasn't the GSM card because when I moved the GSM (Cingular) to a different cell phone, it does work.

I then found out that from the device information, I only saw the ROM version, ROM date and ExtROM version BUT the Radio version and the Protocol version are blank.

I am attaching the devicedata.txt.

With that in mind, I have tried to upgrade the ROM and the Radio. I'm currently running the O2 ROM with the following information:
1. ROM version 1.12.62 WWE
2. ROM date: 10/04/04
3. Radio version: Blank
4. Protocol version: Blank
5. ExtROM version: 1.12.178 WWE.

When I tried to upload the Radio ROM, it seems to upload it, no error messages but still the radio version information is blank and my Blue Angel is still not recognizing as if the radio is off.

I tried to upload other ROM, like Imate PDA2k, Siemens SX66, etc but I couldn't because sometimes it kept complaining about country id or language id not correct.

I really appreciate any helps, inputs on this matter. I'm kind of dead on the water without my phone...

Thank you so very much,
Tambeng

I did try upgrade it to the following:

2. ROM date: 10/04/04
3. Radio version: Blank
4. Protocol version: Blank
5. ExtROM version: 1.12.178 WWE.

But after the upgrade the Radio version and the Protocol version went blank again.

Do you think the fact that the radio version is blank is the cause of my phone to die?

Has anyone else since this issue before?

Thanks,

I tried to download but it says about the model is not correct.

btw: what does it mean by a ROM that says cooked?

Thanks,

No, no. Try to download from official website. What is your PDA call? It must be says some where on it.

btw: what does it mean by a ROM that says cooked?
It means that somebody made it by himself - not official. People take different parts from different ROMs and put them together into one ROM. You don't need things like this right now.

Very possible. What is wrong with your phone exactly? It's searching for signal or......?

It's actually really interesting that it didn't have any brand at all on it.

It just says, PocketPC on the top right corner. Can I identify the maker from the IMEA? I can share the IMEA number.

As for the phone, it doesn't even search for a signal at all. It just have the exclamation mark, like "!".

Thanks for your help,
Tambeng
