Hi aih1977,

Please read the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade). Cheers ^^

Hi khngaroo

i did but i still get an error

[lungbutter]

Hi guys,

Actually, I have the same issue. As far as I could see, the Wiki doesn't address the "123: Radio file checksum error" that I receive when following the directions. I follow the directions for using the downloads which doesn't go, then I use the files from the Siemens SX66 Upgrade as suggested.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

[HDuser]

ever thought about reading the other threads ?

Hum

Lets see the wiki 1.40 upgrade is in the first place a TPYE II upgrade.

Now if you spend sometime and READ the page you will see that there are 2 ways of doing a 1.40 upgrade. One is the whole rom in its type II format the other is just the CE and the radio Type I.

How ever if you don't read the page and think you are got it all worked out then you use the fast option, thats the MA_noID tool (Type II), then download the radio 1.13 which Is a type I but who cares about that any way....then you run the bugger and get a checksum error what the hell have I done now error.


Please correct me if I am wrong so that I can correct the wiki page.

MDAIIIUser,

Yes, I have thought about reading the other threads. What was not obvious to me was that I need to upgrade to the 1.40 ROM to be able to upgrade to the 1.13 Radio. Forgive me if I missed this.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll start over and review all the 1.40 ROM threads.

You dont need to upgrade to CE 1.40 for the radio 1.13.

Just go to wiki and follow the radio upgrade page. It worked for me and many others.

Now if you want to upgrade to 1.40 then do that also on the wiki page, this will however give you the radio 1.12. (unless you read the whole of the page and understand the getting started section of wiki as in how to use fix.bat)

[aih1977]

i tried everything can someone set up the files and link it so i can download it. i think im doing something wrong.

Can you click on the link in my signature?

[lungbutter]

Arg! Lost my post twice.

Anyhow, MDAIIIUser,

Ok. So the 1.40 ROM is not needed. That was my initial impression. I thought you were referring to reading the 1.40 ROM threads.

I also saw that many users were able to upgrade with no problems. That's why I was suprised when I received the checksum error after reading the 1.13 Radio threads and exactly following the Wiki several times before I gave up. I must have missed something because it seemed like the Wiki steps should've worked no problem.

I haven't found anyone posting that has upgraded the radio on a Siemens SX66 yet. I'm wondering if it's Siemens-related which is why I jumped on aih1977's thread (sorry :) ).

I'll start over and review the threads and directions, etc.

Thanks for your reponses.

[HDuser]

so you are saying that

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

does not work for you as you have a SX66.

This could be due to the fact that your device has no camera and the header of the rom is for a camera.

I have never read about having to fix the header for a radio upgrade, its a first for me but I can learn.

Please confirm

1) By following the link above I get an error
2) the error I get is the following
3) My rom at the moment is.

[hakushox]

The new Radio ROM does work on a SX66 if you folloe the directions. If you have an issue use the upgrade files that you used to upgrade 1.40. Your going to get an error the 1st go around but then it will run smoothly the 2nd try.

MDA,
I'm running 1.13.00 radio on my SX66...

Dear MDAIIIUser,

Correct me if I am wrong. All this while, from what I've read through the forum, my understanding is that MA_NoID can only be used to upgrade type II ROMs. If so, I must confess that I've upgraded my radio to 1.13 (type I) with MA_NoID... And it worked... Any clue?

Cheers ^^

[aih1977]

Ok i just want someone to help me with upgrading the radio and if someone out there upgraded the radio please link it or pm me with the files that you used to do it.

Thank you.

[lungbutter]

MDAIIIUser,

Okay, I was able to get the radio stack upgraded to 1.12. Here's what I did. I'm sure it's pretty ugly and probably not the easiest way but:

Followed the Wiki again with errors as follows:

After step 7, running BaUpgradeUt I received the "Error 100: Model ID Error".
After step 5 of the second set of instructions, I received: "Error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error". No joy.

So I then took the iMate 1.40 ROM image and extracted the files, deleted the ms_.nbf and nb_.nbf and ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. It errored with Error 120: Country ID Error. The phone was still in USB mode so I reran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again and it successfully updated the Radio to 1.12. I tested the phone calling my voicemal with no problems.

I then replaced version 1.12 with the 1.13 version. I ran BaUpgradeUt.exe and recieved the "Error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error" (this is using the files from the 1.40 ROM with the 1.13 radio file). I then tried running MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again. The device software update utility showed no information in the from or to sections of the dialog box. It doesn't throw the phone into USB mode and after a minute or so it offers congratulations thinking it upgraded the phone.

I then went back to the 1.13 Radio files I downloaded and ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. I received the Error 100: Model ID Error".
I reran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and received an error that it coundn;t find the ruu.conf file so I renamed the htcruu.conf and htcruu.dll ruu.conf and ruu.dll. I reran it and it would attempt to update the radio, then timeout. I received a communications error (which I didn't record) then tried to soft reset the phone. It was stuck in USB or Serial mode. Cold boot no worky either.

I then reflashed back to 1.12 successfully. I will try to update to 1.13 later tonight or tomorrow.

Here is my phone info. before the update:

Siemens SX66 Cingular
Model No: PH20B1
ROM Date: 01/21/05
Radio Version: 1.02.10
Protocol Version: 1337.35
Ext. ROM Version: 1.33.110 WWE

Thanks for the responses. I'm sure that there's an easier way but I'm happy to be at least 1.12.

Edited: Type on filenames.

[HDuser]

God are we having fun.

And Boy am I lost.

This is what I can work out.

You flashed the i-mate rom 1.40 radio 1.12 got errors and re ran it it was fine. Thus you have a 1.40 with radio 1.12

Now you are stuck. you want to flash the radio 1.13 (Type I) using the wiki info and you get error that tells me that you have the wrong device. The file is for a device with a camera you dont have that.

You try the MA_tool which wont work as its for type 2 and gives you a checksum and your stuffed again.

You seem to be the first person that has come up agaisnt this thus we need to upddate wiki with new info.

I have a problem with this as the 1.12 was a type II to Type I convert that I made, nobody had a problem with that before.

So as I asked you to confirm what you have and you have not done that I will ask again.

Please confirm

MDAIIIUser,

Sorry for the confusing post. I wanted to provide some detail. :) Answers are as follows:

1) Yes.
2) ..."Followed the Wiki again with errors as follows:
After step 7, running BaUpgradeUt I received the "Error 100: Model ID Error". After step 5 of the second set of instructions, I received: "Error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error".
3) Siemens SX66 Cingular
Model No: PH20B1
ROM version: 1.33.10 WWE
ROM date: 01/21/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.33.110 WWE

I believe that I don't actually have the 1.40 ROM. From the directory in whcih I decompressed the iMate 1.40 ROM (PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200.exe) I removed the ms_nbf and nb_.nbf files and left the radio_.nbf file, which I believe will only flash the radio, then updated.

Is that less confusing?

Thanks,

lb

aih1977,

We are actually trying to determine what the issue may be to update your radio on the SX66. Hang in there!

I'm getting the same error, but then again I am trying to put it on an O2 XDA IIi...Should/does it work on the IIi?

[BoSJo]

Should/does it work on the IIi?


NO Don't try to install this on a IIi
This is only for Blue Angel

[HDuser]

Still hanging around.

So now you need to fix the Type I radio and rerun the Type I upgrade tool. (this will over come the device ID error)

For this you need the info out of your deviicedata.txt and the xda3nbtool.exe as well as the fix.bat

Read getting started in wiki, I am on my pda and cant copy paste nor paste ftp links.

Think you can handel that?

[strikeIII]

FOR ALL SIEMENS SX66 USERS....

follow this thread then do the 1.13 ROM update....then you should be all good.....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21144&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=1770d4baa03838436ffa2966066885ef

but you will be upgrading to 1.40 and everything...after all why not update to 1.40.....

[lungbutter]

MDAIIIUser,

Thanks for your help. I appreciate your instructions regarding fixing the Type I radio using the batch file, etc. The 1.12 radio is on my phone and seems to work with no problems. Is this something that you would still suggest doing? I think I'm going to jump to the 1.40 beta 2 ROM.

StrikeIII,

Although the 1.12 Radio stack is working on the Siemens updated ROM, after reviewing the SX66 1.40 ROM thread, I agree. I think that is where I should go. Looks like a great project and exactly what I'm looking for.

Should I contact cdaly1970 to join the beta or is it cool to just download and go?

Thanks all.
