New Radio 1.13.00

[HDuser]

The BA_DT_WWE_DutchRetail_14000_556_11300 has a new radio 1.13

I have converted this to a TYPE I file.

I have updated wiki with that info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.13_Upgrade

It has been tested (that is to say the flash works)

Have fun.

[BoSJo]

Seems like the GPRS "cannot connect" Problem has been fixed in this stack.
Cant manually reproduce the problem like i used to be able to, so time will tell, but so far so good

[chaniko]

Is the problem "no hearing the caller" solved with this radio radio 1.13? I can't solve this problem. Can anyone help me?

Only time can tell, and it's to early to say yet.

[chris_khho]

Just upgrade to 1.13 radio.

Let's see.....

[SKassam]

MDAIII,

Good job with the instructions which makes it very easy to upgrade. Works better than 1.12 radio. Wish the bluetooth would not give the "insufficient memory" error.

Thanks.

[MasterMerlin]

Updated to 1.13
Update works fine.

GPRS Problem seems to be gone. (Works here by now)
SMS works fine (1.12 gave me a little problem here)
Bluetooth works fine (Fast on/off)

Nothing to mourn ATM ;)

[TheLastOne]

No negatives yet here. Haven't encountered the 'no sound' issue yet. I haven't noticed any improvements, though.

[nomadman]

I'm glad to hear about the GPRS. Has anyone tested the WiFi feature and how long it takes to connect to activestync? I have notices that my BA, after upgradeing to the new Shipped Asia ROM, takes a really long time to connect to activestync (about 1min.) compared to older radios. Which took at the most 5 seconds to make a handshare.

[hakushox]

Will This work on a SX66?

[TheLastOne]

hakushox, it will. Follow the instructions MDAIIIUser has laid out on wiki.

[hakushox]

when i just tried it says its not designed for my phone :(

[TheLastOne]

Then you didn't follow the instructions properly.

You can always use maUpgrade_noID.exe

[studdocs]

hi all,
if i upgrade my radio and after the hard reset, i restore with sprite backup, will it downgrade the radio as well?

please reply urgently! i cant resist the temptation to upgrade!

[strikeIII]

will doing a Radio update only make me have to reinstall all my programs and settings....if so, is there an easy way around this.....

[nomadman]

Doing a radio update WILL make you have to do a hard reset. You will get errors when you try to restore your backup using sprite. You will have to re-install your applications after a radio update. Thats why i;m waiting till my questions have been answered before I upgrade since I just upgraded the ROM last week.

[BoSJo]

You can always use maUpgrade_noID.exe


I tried that on the TypeI Radio, diddent work. I diddent try it on the TypeII though but it should work.


if i upgrade my radio and after the hard reset, i restore with sprite backup, will it downgrade the radio as well?


Well I did the nasty thing and used Sprite Backup to restore, wanted to try since this was only a Radio upgrade.
Works perfectly until now.
But to really test this new Radio, one should not use any Restore functions.

[Arilexed]

Okay, so only time will tell whether this new Radio ROM will fix the known echo issues during bluetooth carkit telephone conversations...

It's been like a day now, I assume peeps who upgraded yet would have made several phonecalls by now... :twisted: hehe

So... wots the verdict?.. :?

Edit: Nevermind, f*ck the verdict. I've gone in, full throttle. I'll let you know the outcome, going for a ride right now.

[TheM@x]

Hi,

well I have tried, still Echo :-(

I use Radio 1.13 now.

I have echo when only using the MDA and
I have echo when using a Lintech Bluetooth adapter in my Nokia Cark-91.

The first can't be a Bluetooth problem, the second one is a bluetooth problem, even after stack BT-3900.

So I think it's a great device, but as a phone it realy sucks.
I think the bluetooth is the biggest problem.

Hope it can be fixed soon.

Regards,
Max

[chris_khho]

Just HAVE a bluetooth insufficient memory error.
GPRS seems okay so far.
No caller hearing problem.

[Arilexed]

Thnx Max... it has ruined my day, but thnx :)

And since the echo problem is the only left problem I have with my MDA I decided to go back to my old config.

But wot if the echo problem isn't a software problem... but it's due to crapy hardware.... ARGH!!!!... :evil: No, it wouldn't be... it couldn't be... right?... :twisted:

[CL55]

Question.. I assume I have to do a hard-reset again after the installation right? Is it safe to restore after the upgrade? Would any of the radio file get overwritten??

[Arilexed]

Yes you have to do a hard reset.

But be carefull when performing a restore since files could be overwritten by older versions.

And, think twice before performing a ROM upgrade. If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it. And like some stated, some problems existing in BA aren't being taken care of in this upgrade.

[ncruz]

I don't think a radio upgrade upgrades any file on the BA.. As far as i know, a radio upgrade only upgrades the radio module firmware...

Maybe one of our gurus can tell us if it's true or not, for me i just restored my backup and it seems fine...

[hakushox]

I restored from a sprite backup after the radio update. I havent had any issues what so ever. I'll keep you posted if I run into anything

[MasterMerlin]

Also no Problems after using Sprite Backup after updating Radio.
Will keep you informed if something changes.

1.13 runs smooth so far.

I can personally confirm, that after 1.06 it takes longer to connect/sync with AS.

[msuk]

Hi,

Installed 1.13 onto my MDA III running on T-Mobile UK and noticed a much better improvement in getting a signal compared to radio 1.00 but found the audio not to be as good as radio 1.00

[alanplum]

I've installed 1.13 and it is working sweet as a nut on my PDA2k. No problems whatsoever.

____________________________
i-Mate PDA2k (PH20B)
ROM Version 1.40.00 WWE
ROM Date 03/10/05
Radio Version 1.13.00

[ThExSenatoR]

Installed as well:
- Big Improvement on Signal Reception
- Less battery consumption vs r1.12 or r1.10

Bluetooth a bit better, but remained close to shit ... :)
I made a full sprite backup restore after radio upgrade.

The no sound issue has NOTHING to do with the radio stack, just REMOVE run_bttray...blabla.lnk from your Windows\StartUp folder !!!

[ChrisSpera]

thanks MDAIIIUser for getting this up on Wiki. I will be taking a look at this this week. I am interested to hear if anyone had any issues installing this, especially on a PDA2k, and further info on if it solves the GPRS connection issue. My GPRS connection drops all the time without being able to reconnect.

[eagle 1]

I installed the new radio rom 1.13 on my pda2k without any problems. Once connected to GPRS, I have not had any issues reconnecting (if I only use GPRS). But if I use wifi or usb active sync, the gprs has trouble connecting (sometimes) after using the wifi or active sync. Soft reset and gprs connects right up.

Man, i was hoping the new rom would fix the GPRS connection... Maybe its only me...

Edit: I installed all apps from scratch, no restore

You are right. I also had the same problems sometimes. But it's not as frequent as in the past with 1.12 or 1.10.

[BoSJo]

Been using it since yesterday, did a Sprite Restore and so far no problems at all.

[khngaroo]

I've installed Radio 1.13. So far so good, will post feedback in a couple of days...

[vbguru613]

i can do a ActiveSync Backup then update Radio and then ActiveSync Restore and the backup wont mess with the radio?

[hakushox]

I havent had any issues with it yet and its been a 2 or 3 days.

[bins]

With the new radio 1.13 installed on my pda2k the reconnecting issues seem to have faded. However, sometimes, after using the wifi connection, the gprs seems to have trouble (re)connecting. This is then solved with the ubiquitous soft reset. Nearly there...


PS to Bosjo furtheron: clean install, no restore with Sprite backup or whatsoever...

[evo8]

help.... I tried the method described as I download the sys rom and replaced the radio_.nbf while deleting the other two _.nbf files. But now I get this error message "ERROR 123: RADIO IMAGE FILE CHECKSUM ERROR". Your input is deeply appreciated.

Thanks (oh.. I also tried "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" but when i hard reset I am still at radio version 1.12.00) :cry:

Just follow the instructions for the radio rom upgrade only! The link with the instructions are in the first post of this thread or

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.13_Upgrade

[evo8]

I tried your suggestion or followed the instructions of the post but for some odd reason when i click on the BaupgradeUt.exe.. I get a missing HTCRUU.dll message. And it tells me to re-install.

Please help.
Thanks.

[evo8]

I apologize for double posting like this.
But I managed to take the missing HTCRUU.dll file from my rom upgrading file and now it gives me a ERROR:116 GENERAL ERROR.....
I also get a checking device message along with the General error. I waited for 10 min. but nothing is happening.... Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your patience.
:cry:

[TheLastOne]

Just use the first method here, deleting the ms_.nbf and nk.nbf. Nice and easy, no hacked roms or anything. No errors.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade

[sunish]

So far... no problems.. will let all know if there is any in a day or so :wink:

[vbguru613]

i tried and i got Model ID error 100

[BoSJo]

I have had the GPRS cannot reconnect problem twice today.

But let it be remembered that i have made a Sprite Restore after the Radio upgrade.

[chris_khho]

I had a few times after activesync or gprs disconnection, the wifi can't be connected. Only a softreset can help and the wifi connected straightly after reset.....

didn't use any restore functions.

[ncruz]

Just had the no sound problem with this radio version :(

And didn't use the BT headset.. Only wifi...

[khngaroo]

Just got the GPRS unable to connect after using wifi problem. Its not fixed, however, yet to have the no sound bug... Other then that, all went smoothly... Cheers ^^

[BoSJo]

To all

Please edit your posts to include whether or not you have used any Restore functions such as Sprite Backup etc. after the Radio upgrade.

Maybe that is the problem!!!

[sumtingwong]

Immediately right after I upgraded the radio ROM and did a fresh hard reset, I was almost certain the GPRS connection problem seemed to go away. Then after I installed a bunch of my favorite software onto my XDA IIs, the damn GPRS problem sneaked right back in... And no... I didn't restore any back up... Did any body have the same feeling that's the case?

[TheLastOne]

sumtingwong, hard reset again, and go through each installation and find out which program causes the problem. Perhaps it's a third party program that causes the problem.

[sumtingwong]

I certainly will do that... the day after tomorrow, tho... I will go out of town tomorrow and need my map software so won't mess with my PPC tonight...

[aih1977]

i have siemens sx66 and i can't upgrade to the new radio i need some help. i read how to do it but i get an error code all the time.

[CL55]

Hmm... Looks like I'll stick with ROM 1.12 and downgraded CallerID for now :(

[studdocs]

hi,

the new radio is worth the upgrade... it catches signal much faster after soft reset or awaking from flight mode... GPRS probs are'nt there.... nothing bad... but only good words for the update!

[MasterMerlin]

After a few days I have to say this.

Seems to be the best Radio Rom so far for me.

I ran only once into GPRS cannot connect, gone after soft reset.
Phone hangs once when ending call with hardware button.

Rest seems to be very nice ...

I totally agree with you!

[exstatica]

I had a day or two of good gprs and this morning it's doing it again...

why can't they just fix this crap.

[hdbueller]

I upgraded to 1.13.00 and all is really good after 3 days of hard use. I did not do a restore,I went from a fresh PDA2K rom update and added the 1.13.00 to that.
I do have the wifi connect problem after using GPRS, but my signal strength is higher by at least 1 full bar,the bluetooth is clearer and the unit "finds" the bt headset much faster. Battery life is noticeably better,and the wifi works better too.(Except for the occasional failing to start prob) A soft reset fixes that tho.
Later............... 8)

[stuartestrand]

Upgraded to 1.13 earlier this week. did a sprite restore. Sine then have had phone no-can-hear-caller problem 2 times, about the same rate as before. Corrected each time with soft reset. Do all BAs have this problem? :(

No need for soft reset, and neither disconnect the call. Just cycle bluetooth on/off and then you should hear the person again...

[xcalibur]

I did the Radio ROM upgrade to 1.13.00.

Installation went smoothly.
Tried to make calls and both incoming and outgoing calls seem OK under both Globe and SUN Sim.
GPRS is OK.

Bluetooth cannot transfer big files unlike before,
Have not tested with Bluetooth headset.

Will downgrade due to bluetooth file transfer problem.

[xcalibur]

Clumsy me.

I downgrade the RADIO ROM and the upgrade again upon discovery it is not the RADIO ROM upgrade that is causing the Bluetooth file transfer problem.

I am now using RADIO ROM 1.13.

Everything seems to work OK.

I dont know actually what is its advantage and/or disadvantage over RADIO ROM1.12

[bpv]

I installed radio 1.13
Can't Connect problem happens also after i had a phonecall with gprs active. gprs connection is broken after phonecall, when trying to reconnect, i get the 'Cant connect'.
i usually turn on and off flightmode to overcome the problem, that's faster than a softreset.
Also i had the problem with not hearing the other side with radio 1.13 (just once). I have used 1.12 for about two weeks and did not have the problem with that version during that time.

[VCD_Junky]

I tried to upgrade to the 1.13 radio on my Cingular SX66 but after the upgrade, the device had "No GSM" for the radio rom version. I followed the steps suggested for this error "MaUpgradeUt_noID", but that did not fix the error. I had to downgrade back to 1.12 to get things working again. Any suggestions?

[HDuser]

Your device is one without a camera, thus the header of the file is wrong, this could be your problem. you need to fix the Type I radio file with your model number.

info is in wiki.

hope it works

[VCD_Junky]

I edited EditFix.bat to reflect my device info that I got from running GetDeviceData.exe. I then ran EditFix.bat to patch the radio rom before I upgraded. Is there anything more that I should have done?

[HDuser]

yup read this
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.13_Upgrade

its the easy methord that you want with the fixed radio rom.

[sumtingwong]

I tried the Caller ID downgrading method to IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB and it seemed to fix my GPRS problem... It has been working fine for a week now... I did run my XDAIIs through a bunch of combinations of turning on/off WiFi, Bt, GPRS and GPRS worked fine no matter what...

It also helps if you put your GPRS settings in the default "My ISP" profile instead of creating a new one.

[leslie lee]

can someone help me with necessary information regarding upgrading to new radio rom 1.13
my ba is xda2s from singapore.

Cant seem to Upgrade SX66

If I follow the First Method I get a Model ID 100 Error. If I follow the Second Method I get a Invalid Checksum Error.

If I do a Hybrid method (copy the BaUpgradeUt.exe file to the OEM folder as well as the radio_.nbf file) I get the Model ID Error.

Tried while in BL mode, same results.

As anyone been able to get this to work with the SX66?

Thanks,

upgrade my pda2k from 1.12 to 1.13. so far, excellent quality of sound with no hickups or signal trembles.

[pcostax]

Hi,
I have a Qtek 9090 and found out that it's very anoying when using a bluetooth headset. It's the 3rd model I try and people that call me always complaint that there is an echo on their side (although I'm listening perfectly). The one I have now is the Nokia HS-11W, I like it's design and audio and battery life... but it's (almost) impossible to use.
I'm thinking that the radio upgrade might help. But, when I used the "GetDeviceData" prog, I got the following: "PH20B 0 B WWE E BRIGH001 1.40.00 0 0 1.40.148 1.12.00 12.00" and I can't find any "shipped" version to keep in case something goes wrong.
Can someone help me upgrading this without damaging my phone?

Thanks in advance.

[voln]

Upgrade radio.Is it work with Qtek 2020i?

[HDuser]

pcostax

If you cant find a shipped version of your rom you have no backup.

However as you are updating the radio only you can always downgrade to 1.12 if you need to send it back to the shop for fixing.

The old radio versions are also posted in wiki as is the the new 1.13.

Your device has a problem with BT, that a fact, live with it, 1.13 seems to be better for some of us, others don't like it. Your choice.

[dilipc]

I upgraded to radio 1.13 but I had too many problems :( while connecting to GPRS, so I downgraded to 1.12 and its working fine now :lol:

[fone4u]

has anyone try to update spv m2000 using this rom?

[pierluigi70]

Yes, I'mk trying now. I'm performing a data restore.
I will let you know....

PS for fone4u: wihch kind of GPRS problem did you have?

[pierluigi70]

It seems it is working fine (just for now). No GPRS connection problem (I tried with more than one APN).

Have you tried the Bluetrek G2. That one seems to work best for me. Quick connect, decent voice quality, incredible battery life and stays connected..

[thege]

Finally I also made an upgrade on my MDA3, which is the following:
Rom: 1.06.00 ENG
Radio: 1.13.00
ExtRom: 1.06.154

I only wanted to upgrade the Radio, because of the guarantee!
Do you think it will work fine with these settings???

[cbrow51]

Hi thege

Well, its difficult to give a definitive answer, as I have not tried that combo... I guess try it out and if it seems to be doing some odd things, then either downgrade the radio again or bite the bullet and update the ROM and Ext ROM.

Regards

chris

[CL55]

Finally upgraded to Radio 1.13, but still having GPRS can't connect issue with ROM 1.40.00 WWE, downgraded to CallerID 2.0 WWE and all is well now...

[superxx]

Hi,

Why are people talking about a new Radio 1.13 ?
I bought my Qtek 2020 early in 2004 and came with Radio 1.18 !!!

Why is that!?

Bye

[cbrow51]

Hi SuperXX

Not sure that the radio versions are the same/&ortabale across devices. LOoks like you have a model 2020 and I think this thread is looking at 9090 (Blue Angels] and equivalents..

[kazmi]

sorry if this is too noobish of a question but I have been struggling with poor signal strength with my PDA2K on the USA Tmobile network.

When I got my imate, the ROM was the old one and I had to upgrade it to the latest one available on the clubimate site.....however the radio ROM is still at 1.12......if I do upgrade to the new 1.13, will it help alleviate the signal strength problem?(my PDA2K regularly keeps searching for a carrier signal where I usually used to get regular signals.)

Any help/advice would be highly appreciated.

[HDuser]

The question of if the 1.12 radio is better or worse than the 1.13 has not realy been answered. Some think yes some no.

Most t-mobile users have gone back to the 1.06 radio as this one works with BB.

Best thing is to try it out and make your own jugement.

[MDA3_CRO]

Hi to all,

A few days ago I bought a new T-Mobile MDA III, here in Zagreb,
Croatia. After unpacking and setting it up, my first step was to explore
the net and find out how strong is non-official support for my
new toy :-)

As I can see here, supporting is exellent, so today I decided to upgrade
my Radio ROM.

Here are all relevant data captured from my MDA III,
before updating Radio ROM:

Model No: PH20B
Minor version Model No: 0 B
Language code: ENG G
Operator code: T-MOB006 (T-Mobile Croatia)
ROM Version: 1.06.00 ENG
Minor version: 0 0
Extended ROM version: 1.06.158 ENG
Radio Version: 1.00.00
Minor Version: 00.00
Protocol Version: 1.337.30
ROM date: 08/05/04

Updating was without any problem, but I haven't any
positive or negative report for a now.

Looking for suitable ENG ROM for updating,
because of outdated one (v1.06.00) in my MDA III.
Thanks for every hint.

Bye.

My personal experienece with this ROM in the USA on T-Mobile is that you are better off with the 1.13 radio. (I believe that MDAIIUser may have been refering to T-Mobile GER when he mentions the older radio..)

Can you give me some more info on your comment "my PDA2K regularly keeps searching for a carrier signal where I usually used to get regular signals."

Do you mean that it keeps searching for GPRS (the G with the two arrows) or for the actual carrier signal itself (the signal strength bars) This ROM does have some problems connecting with T-Mobile GPRS and Cingular in the USA, that can be overcome by downgrading the CallerID CAB to the oldr version. In general though, I have found the 1.13 radio to provide more stability and better battery life for this ROM

[hasanj4]

Can't upgrade to 1.13 !

Using 1st WIKI's 1st method 'type_I_Ba_UPgradeUTil', I get "ERROR 103- ROM image not found".
Using 2nd method after downloading the correct SHIP ROM VERSION (ROM 1.40/ radio 1.12), replacing the radio_.nbf and deleting the 2 other .nbf files, I get "ERROR 123- radio image file checksum error".

Seems the 'radio_.nbf' file is corrupt? Whenever I replace the file in the ROM VErsiion file, I get the error.

Pls help

[cbrow51]

Hi Hasanj4

On you second method, are you using the MAUpdate utility¿ Also, you may be runnining into a radio type issue. I am not an expert, but I believe that the radio version is converted so that you can do a Radio only update. When I put the 1.13 radio version I found on wiki into the ROM folder to replace the 1.12radio, the update would not run. What I had to do was to download the Dutch ROM that has the 1.13 radio built in and extract the radio from there. Then I put the radio I extracted in the Asia ROM folder to replace the 1.12 radio and ran MAUdate. Does that make any sense?

Regards

Chris

[dom89]

The checksum error is due to incorect dll version in the Baupgrade set.
Download from Wiki the correct one.

First I used the Baupgrade.exe and RUU.dll from the 1.40 version and I got checksum error. I then downloaded the Wiki RUU.DLL file and I could install the Radio.

Allways keep in mind that we are playing with so many different versions of files that this is one of the first reason of bugs, hangs, soft and hard reset and so on....

Hope this will help everyone having problem to upgrade or soft reset..

[cbrow51]

In addition, I have always found the MAUpgrade utility to work well as it gets around the device id and country code issues you may get with installing a different carriers ROM on your device. Exactly as detailed in the wiki instructions, it will usually give you a fail first time, but if you simply leave the device in the cradle and launch MAUpgrade a second time it invariably works (unless you have a wrong file version as I did with the last radio I tried) Hope this helps also.

Mmmm that's odd.... I am using it in conjunction with PocketMax PhoneAlarm and I can vary the mic and speaker volume without a problem... Have you tried phoneAlarm?

Thanks Guys for your help - cbrow51 and dom89

I am now on radio 1.13!

Backing up and sync my data now.

[khdam]

The BA_DT_WWE_DutchRetail_14000_556_11300 has a new radio 1.13

I have converted this to a TYPE I file.

I have updated wiki with that info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.13_Upgrade

It has been tested (that is to say the flash works)

Have fun.

Hi
I'm using T-mo MDA3 with original version :
-ROM version 1.06.00ENG
-rom date 08/05/04
Radio 1.00.00
protocol : 1337.30
ext ROM : 1.06.117WWE

I'd like to upgrade it up, how can I do? Which version Should I have and where is it?
Looking for your help
Thanks a lot.

[cbrow51]

Hi Kadam

All the info on upgrading the Blue Angel is on the wiki site given at the top op this page. Here is the specific link to upgrading the Blue Angel:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade

There are currently 8 World Wide English (WWE) ROMS to choose from. Each person has their particular favorite, so try the i-mate, qtek and O2 asia ones and see which you prefer. You will see that there are 2 upgrade tools, BAUpgrade and MAUpgrade. Use the MAUpgrade method if the ROM you select is from a different manufacturer or country than you device is from. This method gets you over the country code and device id issues. Back up your devbice before starting and print put the upgrade instructions. Follow instructions carefully and you can't go wrong!

Installed as well:
- Big Improvement on Signal Reception
- Less battery consumption vs r1.12 or r1.10

Bluetooth a bit better, but remained close to shit ... :)
I made a full sprite backup restore after radio upgrade.

The no sound issue has NOTHING to do with the radio stack, just REMOVE run_bttray...blabla.lnk from your Windows\StartUp folder !!!

Hi, can anyone verify about the no sound issue? Is this no sound issue mentioned referring to no sound when making calls?

Yes, I believe you are correct. Removal of the BTTray file is meant to help with this, although it helps some and not others I think...

[Closer]

I still have the unidirectional audio problem!
Afeter the radio rom upgrade I installed the official patch from clubimate but... nothing change!!!
I can't understand where is the problem, 'cause during the entire day the phone works great, but, in the evening it has this problem and I must soft-reset pda

Phonealarm rulez! :D

[dom89]

I personaly install the pda2k unidirectional patch but it din't solved anything. I even found that I had more problem than before.

The only way is to remove the run-bttray from the startup menu and then you never have anymore sound problem.

I can't understand why Qtek, Imate or other makers didn't solved this recurring problem over ROMs.

[OhBuggerit2k2]

dom89 - I tried that but then I cannot access my BT devices any more. When I try and load BT Manager I get the same memory error as everyone else.

Am I doing something wrong here? If I remove the BTtray should I then be doing something else to get BT to work?

[dom89]

You need the bttray to run bluetooth.
You manually launch it when using BT devices.

Just soft reset when you don't use bt devices as bttray is not in startup folder and you won't have the nosound problem.

I know it is boring to soft reset but this is the only way actually to bypass this nosound problem.

Can confirm that you can Upgrade a WM5 version of the BA to Radio 1.13 if you follow the instructions on wiki.

[Saisoku-R]

Ahm.. hi


I really can't upgrad my O2 XDAIII, not with the 1.13 Radio - not with the 1.40 ROM. Don't know why.

If I use Baupgrade i'll get the Country ID Error, if I use Maupgrade_noid i'll get Device/Model ID Error. Everytime. Used the 2 different method's at both issues. I used the two method's to upgrade to 1.13 - doesn't work and I used the "quick easy" method to upgrad to 1.40 ROM. Nothing works, and I dunno why. I know so many peeps in our german forums that already done the upgrade.

I have that BA from O2 that I known here as the XDAIIs - i believe. It's the same like the MDAIII but just without the camera (<- and this is the reason why I haven't installed WM5.0 yet).

[cbrow51]

Hi Saisoku-R

When you try MAUpgrade, are you running it twice, without removing it from the cradle? Runninig it once generally produces an error. leave the device docked and just relaunch MAUpgrade. It should work then.

Regsrds

chris

[silent_killa]

Try removing all the files that have the .nbf extension from that folder apart from radio.nbf and try again using the No ID upgrade program. Remeber that if it fails the first time, try executing the file again. (Mine never works first time round).
If the above dont work then put the phone into bootloader mode and try the above again.

Hope this helps.

[eagle 1]

Yes, I can confirm you can upgrade a pda2k running WM5. I forgot to change my extended rom size in the first upgrade to WM5. So, I downgraded back to imate shipped rom 1.40 by entering bootloader and running PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200.exe. I then upgraded to WM5 following the WIKI. Again I forgot something (the shipped 140 rom was radio 1.12). So Ran BaUpgradeUt.exe with the normal upgrade files, but only the radio.nbf and it upgraded the radio only and no data was lost....

[Saisoku-R]

Haha, great I love the time difference :lol: It's 3.15am right here in germany and here is no one that could help me.

Aight guys, I've done the update once more - ERROR 120: Country ID Error. Ok, started it once more - AND IT WORKS !!!

But now I update the Vodafone VPAIII 1.40.01 Update, because the 1.13 Radio is already inside. But it'll install the VPAIII Ext. Rom as well. So what could I do to get the o2 ext rom? Calibrate TouchScreen and after that softreset that it can't install the ext. rom and manually install the o2 cab files ? :?:

[cbrow51]

Hi Saisoku-R

The preferred method is to flush your extended ROM folder and then add back in the CAB file you want. The instructions are posted on wiki here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Flush

Hope this helps

Is it necessary?

Here is my little story.
I have a MDA III from T-mobile.
I upgraded it as seen on this ite somewhere to wm2005 but I had problems with gprs so I downgraded back to wm2003,but now in settings I don't find my buttonlock??
When I look with explorer I can't find it also ,but if I look with total commander I can start it.
I can't give you more info from my ppc because that is also gone,normally there is an icon to show me the rom etc..... but I can't find it.

Hi maltje
Oh dear! You have gone and come back from somewhere I have not even been, so I am not a good person to advise you. Have you tried the link to wiki.xda-developers.com at the top of this page. Then navigate to to the Blue Angel forum and look for wm 2005. That may help you. Sorry that I cannot be of more help

[danraine]

Hi I just bought the new Anycom bluetooth stereo headset BSH-100. after following some very useful strands on this site I managed to upgrade the BT on my M2000 to 3900 from 3500 and also found some cab files which let me load the high quality audio patches. Basically it all works the way it should - the phone part is OK and the headset music quality on the whole is OK as long I don't move anything around, i.e. as soon as I start running (which is the reason I bought them) it starts to sound like one of those very early CD walkman which cutout every other word!!!

Question - is this a fact of life with attempting to listen to music via BT or is it worth trying to update the radio (currently 1.06.02) I have resisted this so far as I have been reluctant to tamper with the ROM?

Cheers

[chaosyndrome]

danraine,

i'm not sure that the new 1.13.00 radio version will solve your sound problem, but i just wanted to assure you that i upgraded my radio version from 1.12.00 to 1.13.00 witouth any problem whatsoever.


Qtek 9090 --> WM2003SE

Rom Version -> 1.40.00 WWE
Radio Version -> 1.13.00
ExtROM Version -> 1.40.148 WWE

[cbrow51]

Hi danraine

If you M2000is a Blue Angel device (sorry, i have lost track of all the variants] then you are almost certainly experiencing the same BT problems as all other users. No known cure at this point as far as i can tell. Best is slight static at 1 metre, geting worse quickly as you get further away. Believe that best is to keep head set in line of sight to device if possible. Still may not be great though. I gave up and bought a pair of wired Shure E3C's. Amazing sound!!! Bliss!!!

Regards

Chris

[danraine]

Yeah I have the BLUEANGEL M2000- I finally took the plunge and upgraded to 1.13 (from 1.06) - the sound is great at 1m no static with music or voice (unless I shake the thing - but that was why I bought it) - £60 wasted :( , plus about 36 hours trying to get the damn things working in the first place!! I was hoping that the anycom product being relatively new would be better, but I guess it is the Blue Angel itself?

[cbrow51]

Yes, sadly I believe you are right. The bluetooth implementation on this device is very poor. I hear the wizard and universal, that both have V2.0 BT, are a lot better, but there has not been much time yet to uncover any flaws... time will tell... At least lets hope there are some improvements...

Regards

chris

[danraine]

Bit of a daft reply...but here goes anyway... as I said I have updated the radio ROM & hard reset, now though whenever I press the button to open internet explorer it goes to the cr*ppy orange wap page how do I change this.

I have changed the default but it doesn't seem to work, I think it actually linked to the button??

I know I am probably just being stupid.

BTW I think this is a great site guided me through my first rom upgrage, radio rom upgrade, cab installation.

[cbrow51]

Hi danraine

Well, one way to do it is as follows.

1. Navigate to the page you want you browser to go to when you press the internet button.

2. Then, under tools/options, select 'use current' as the home page option.

That should take care of it

Hope that helps

Regards

chris

[danraine]

HI - yeah that is what I would have thought - but it seems to be something else when I open up normal explorer from programmes it will go to my default home page - otherwise if i press the button (on bottom below screen) it goes to this orange page?

[cbrow51]

Hi danraine

Mmmm..., interesting..., what does it show the buttok mapped to under settings/personal/buttons

Regards

chris

[danraine]

just says internet explorer, but there is another button 9 (don't know what this refers to marked orange UK) but I tried changing this and still went to the same file

[cbrow51]

The 9 button is actually a key on the keyboard, between the TAB key and the Question Mark key. I have this set to Rotate Screen, which I have found to be very handy!

Now on the IE button, if you navigate to the page you want as the home page and the set tools/options to 'use current« does that not do it?

Regards

Chris

[chaosyndrome]

browser highjacking on BA now?!

where will this world come too...

maybe you need to edit your registry :wink:

[cbrow51]

:-} :-) :-)

[danraine]

it doesn't work i had tried this, and if i open internet explorer direct from program menu goes to my default if I press the buton goes to orange wap!!?

Trying to upgrade the SX66 from 1.12 to 1.13 and I just cannot seem to get it to work no matter what I try.. the model error.

Does anybody (that got this to work) have a more detailed set of instructions because the ones in the wiki are just not cutting it. Thanks in advance.

---

Resolution: I had to downgrade to Windows 2003 SE in order to apply this patch. Pretty rough but it works.

[cbrow51]

Are you using the BAupgrade uitility or the MAupgrade utility?

[jaclync]

I've been hoping that the "no hearing from the caller" can be fixed after upgrading to Radio 1.13. But unfortunately, i'm still getting this after I installed the upgrade. I guess I have to stick with soft resetting by XDA IIs everyday or just trade-in my IIs for a IIi. I've been happy with my IIs so far but this " no hearing from the caller" issue is a really problem because I've missed so many calls.

Hi jaclync

Have you tried moving the BTTray. exe file form the startup folder to the start folder and then doing a soft reset? This disables Bluetooth on startup but allows you to launch Bluetooth via the drop down start menu when you need it. This seems to reduce or eliminate the "no sound" problem.

Hope this helps

Regards

Chris

[Joao_Caldeira]

I had already written what's next, but suddnely it all started! :)
GREAT SOUND!!! GREAT RANGE!!!

I could talk / hear (and the other part could also) perfectly 'till 8 - 9 meters. Then I started to get noise (althoug I could keep the conversation) and finnaly gave up at 14 METERS!!!!

How about that ;)

.....

After upgrading to 1.13 I can no longer connect my BT headset!!

It's a Sony Ericsson HBH-660.
Qtek recognizes it's existence, they pair but they don't connect.

Anyone have had such similiar experience?

......

Joao Caldeira

[MethodMan]

I could talk / hear (and the other part could also) perfectly 'till 8 - 9 meters. Then I started to get noise (althoug I could keep the conversation) and finnaly gave up at 14 METERS!!!!When you say 'perfectly', did you ever have static on your BT headset?

After upgrading to 1.13 I can no longer connect my BT headset!!Ok, let's step back. Let's try to see if there were any changes you made that might have affected your BT pairing.

Questions:

1)Before you upgraded to Radio v1.13, did you upgrade anything else like the BT stack or ROM?
2)After you upgraded to Radio v1.13, did you make any changes like in question #1 or by making changes to your software like installing new applications or made registry edits?
3)Are you on WM5?

btw; Has your BT always been perfect since you first bought your Qtek?

[Joao_Caldeira]

When you say 'perfectly', did you ever have static on your BT headset?

"Yes" in the past; "No" now... no static at all! Actually callers used to say that it seemed that I was away from the phone but now it seems that I'm not soooo away.

Ok, let's step back. Let's try to see if there were any changes you made that might have affected your BT pairing.

3)Are you on WM5?

btw; Has your BT always been perfect since you first bought your Qtek?

a) everything worked fine 1.3x (?)
b) upgraded to the current ROM version (with radio 1.12)
c) upgrade to radio 1.13
d) Qtek discovers BT headset HBH-660; Qtek pairs with BT; Qtek can't connect to BT
e) a lot of soft resets, on/offs, etc... no can do
f) stated to write my problem, before submitting just tried one last time and voilá!
Qtek connects to BT headset (I knew they were afraid of this forum, but not that much ;)

No registry changes, no new apps [ok.. I might have installed "shutdown" first..., can't remember]

No... it haven't been "perfect" but always usable. Sometimes a bit more or a bit less static but that wouldn't make calls impossible. But now the sound is great! (well.. I've just used it a few times, but always great sound for me)

I tried today wifi... and guess! No wifi? It just can't connect to my router. I'll try with my laptop and work from ththere.

Hope this helps (I guess not, just pure luck...)

[kazmi]

Hello...I have the iMate pda2k and here are my specs:

ROM ------> 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date-> 03/10/05
Radio------> 1.12.00
Protocol----> 1337.42
Ext ROM ---> 1.40.169 WWE

My BT works fine (I think I have the later BT stack 3900)....but my GPRS recently quit working in the sense that I now have to either toggle the flight mode or soft reset it to get my GPRS working......and then if I disconnect, it doesn't reconnect unless I do one of the above.

I'm wondering if I should upgrade to the 1.13 ROM? Do I need to change my extended ROM as well....I need to have my device working as before!

[Joao_Caldeira]

Nope. Just upgrade it to 1.13 (follow the simple instructions on the page)

On a side note, after all my Wifi is working ;) (reboot) so no problems at all with 1.13 in my configuration (well... havent checked GPRS yet...)

Joao

[cbrow51]

Hi Kazmi

1.40 has this GPRS disconnect issue on TMO US it seems. Upgrading to 1.13 radio may help, but you most likely will need to downgrade the CallerID cab file in the extended ROM, to version 1.17. This file is available on the wiki site Blue Angel ROM kitchen. Link to the wiki site is at top this page. Look under BLue Angel and Cooking Your First Extended ROM topic. That should fix the GPRS disconnecting problem.

Hope this helps

chris

[xanth]

I don't think anyone's answered this:

whenever I press the button to open internet explorer it goes to the cr*ppy orange wap page how do I change this.

Basically the shortcut already made for the button has a NAME of Internet Explorer, but is actually a completely different shortcut (as you've seen).

The solution is simply to change the button mapping to something else (thus erasing that shortcut) and then go back in to the button configuration and change it back to Internet Explorer, it'll create from the regular one that time.

I did once find where on the disk those shortcuts are kept, but I forgot now sorry :-( But that method works fine for me everytime I hard reset mine and Orange puts it's stuff back in.

Hey Chris

Thanks for your reply...I am just concerned about two things....first, I can do basic things and this sounds a bit more on the tech savvy side....is there anyone to help if we muddle things up?

and second, does doing all of this void my warranty from imate?

Ooops...I think I might have more qs....if I need to only do the Caller ID downgrade, can I only replace that file and leave the rest as is? What features do I lose by downgrading?'

Thanks in advance for all of your time.

[MegaHz]

Hi I just upgraded to 1.13 and I had problems with my wireless and gprs, I couldn't enable them.
So as you recommended I put the old called_id.cab and my wireless started working

Hi

You probably forgot to extract XDADeveloperWiki_-_BA_Radio_1.13_Upgrade file. It's ZIP or RAR or EXE... i forgot.. You need to extract it to a folder and then change the baupgradeut.exe with patched one.

Have fun :)

Hi everyone, I search for the radio upgrade at the wiki and I wanned to upgrade to version 1.13 BUT the link seams to be broken or something. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you can upload this from rapidshare or give me another link because I want to test the improvement. Thanks!
