Radio Upgrade 1.06.00 is here...

[stickeresq]

Everything seems utterly solid on my exec after I upgraded it to 1.06.00 last night! :D

Bluetooth call quality is brilliant, even though I live in the middle of nowhere I have an improved network signal (GSM/GPRS)

Will try UMTS & Video Calling tonight.

In the interim I've SFX packaged the Radio Only Upgrade and fired it onto the ftp site (link below)

:arrow:o2 Exec Radio 1.06.00 Upgrade.exe (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/o2%20Exec%20Radio%20Upgrade%201.06.00.exe)

To install the upgrade:

1) Fully Sync your handset
2) Remove SD & SIM Card
3) Soft Reset your Handset
4) Re-connect the handset so Active Sync restarts
5) Double click on the o2 Exec Radio 1.06.00 Upgrade.exe file and the updater program will autorun and upgrade your radio stack.
6) DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS UNTIL TOLD BY A PROMPT
7) Viola! Radio 1.06.00!!!

[dalelane]

this sounds interesting - where did you get the update from?

[stickeresq]

1) Downloaded it from the german T-Mobile site as a complete upgrade,
2) Extracted the radio_.nbf file,
3) Decoded, changed the network id to o2 from T-Mobile and re-encoded the .nbf file,
4) Repackaged it as an auto extract / run SFX archive with all the updating software.
5) Scanned and tested it
6) Uploaded it here! :D

[adonker]

okay, I hope this solves the Slow answering "problem".

When it does;

Can you explain in "dummy" language how to upgrade this to dutch t-mobile? which files do I nees to have in order to upgrade (only) the radio rom?

thx

arjan

[dalelane]

1) Downloaded it from the german T-Mobile site...

oh - is that all? :wink:

sounds like a lot of work - thanks for posting it!

[stickeresq]

It should work first or second time (without closing the RUU update app)

if not I'll need to change the operator name for you!

Hi

Can you tell me is this Radio Rom compatabily with my Xda Executive I use the Vodafone network?

Will it lock the pda so I cannot use it for Vodafone anymore?

Is they any improvment in the time it take to ring I mean does it ring straight away or does it take three or four ring before the pda starts ringing?

Is the bluetooth better does it have A2DP now?

Thank you very much for the answer you can give me.

Regards

Gigino

[stickeresq]

I am not sure of the consequences of installing it with regard to Vodafone, I wouldn't say so but don't hold me to that! You assume all responsibility for applying such an update!

It works fine on my o2 Exec (on o2). Bluetooth is working better with faster data transfer speeds, better call quality (TX & RX) with my Motorola HS850 Headset.

GSM / GPRS is stable as ever, call answering times are better.

I'll test UMTS & Video (3G) tonight

As yet it doesn't support A2DP but this should come with the AKU2 upgrade. There is a beta version being trialled and initial results look great... A2DP will be a kick-ass application!

Good luck with the upgrade though!

[q-biq]

I wonder if its workin with Vodafone SE ....

[ashleyhall]

Is it possible to install this Radio Upgrade without losing all the data on the Exec?

[stickeresq]

I have!

Just make sure you only soft reset it afterwards as opposed to the usual and instructed "Hard Reset".

[ncruz]

Same thread here at the right forum:

[Melty]

Thanks a lot for this stickeresq. I will try it later and let you know how I get on.

[stickeresq]

Thanks a lot for this stickeresq. I will try it later and let you know how I get on.

coolio... I'm off to the pub!

[GavinN]

Hey guys,

Can you please post which networks / device variants you have loaded this new ROM onto and if it works or fails. I've no doubt the actual ROM works (I work in this line of things) just wondering if this ROM will be ok for all modem variants...

Thanks,

Gavin.

[q-biq]

Once again, is this only workin with o2?

[djslash]

I installed it on my Tmobile NL Qtek 9000 and everything works.

[q-biq]

http://web.comhem.se/~u67800569/romupdate.JPG

:/

[stickeresq]

It is only for the PU10 device family as this is the value stated within the .nbf file.

[BrettS]

Worked on my Jasjar with no problems. Just took a soft reset at the end.

[Tron_Of_Borg]

(Not meaning to hi-jack the thread but it deals with this ROM update.)

I have what might be a dumb question but here goes.

How do we know that the German T-Mobile ROM Ver 1.06 is actually newer than the O2 1.04? After all, these are different companies with their own development teams with their own revisions.

Or, do these ROM revisions come from HTC and the carriers simply distribute them?

Thanks,

[argh2000]

Thanks dude. great work.Works well on my exec :D

[GavinN]

Hi all,

Tried on my Orange M5000 but get the country error. No real probs though.

Gavin.

[vo1968]

thanks, done my o2 xda exec, followed instructions & everything excellent. cheers for the brilliant work.

[rilot]

Do you know if this rom now fixes the Exec not sending caller ID to BT headsets with LCDs on them?

[Conchas]

I believe it is not a matter of Radio firmware, but BT stack implementation.
Lets hope new BT profiles on AKU2 will fix it.

[rilot]

Have we got an ETA for it?

[Conchas]

Sorry, what do you mean with ETA?

[GMTRB5]

Estimated Time of Arrival :)

[thebestok]

Installed this on my 02 xda exec ( which im using on the three network) to find that the wireless manager icon doesnt work. when loading it causes the exec to just freeze with a white screen. tried flashing three or 4 times to find the problem remains. tried both soft and hard resets- to no avail. was forced to dgrade back to the standard 02 rom as provided.

would be interested to see if anyone has a solution. rom number is 1.13.82WwE, radio version 1.04.02 ex rom 1.1.3118wwe, prot version 42.37.p8. cheers

[jpa]

perfect :)

[rastaman]

Installed om my Qtek9000, no problem and works perfect

[ashleyhall]

So just to confirm this radio upgrade can be applied to an O2 Exec without updating the actual OS rom, and only a soft rest is required afterwards - in summary I can upgrade without losing any of my data?

[stickeresq]

That's what I did and everything is working swimmingly!

[torgamm]

So did I on a Qtek 9000 with O2 ROM and Vodafone Portuguese SIM.
Just a soft reset at the end of the process.

[SiliconS]

Seems to work for me too, although I haven't noticed any particular improvements yet from v 1.04 (as originally installed on my Exec when I bought it in November).

Thanks for passing this on, stickeresq. Good work! :)

[ei99070]

Updated Wiki with this info!

[jah]

Works okay on my XDA Exec. Two point to note:

- on O2 did not pick-up the UMTS network but did hang-on to a weak O2 signal really well
- on T-mobile both UMTS and GPRS are okay

When on powersave, alter to incoming call happens after the first ring (as heard by the caller) and just before the second ring. When powered-up the incoming call happens at the same time as the first ring (as heaard by the caller).

[philtech44]

of installing the radio update for those of us who haven't got ActiveSync working ??

[ashleyhall]

Brilliant then!! I haven't upgraded any of my roms since getting the Exec as I couldn't be bothered to have to reinstall all my applications and data, I think its pathetic that you have to, imagine Windows Vista being launched and requiring us to reformat and lose everything!! Why do they believe PocketPC users should have to suffer!?

I'll give the Radio upgrade a go 2nite!

[Harry-Willi]

I just upgraded my QTEK 9000 without any problems. I use it with the german Vodafone network. Everything seems to work fine!

[dmr54]

Being a little thick as I am, and not wanting to stuff up my device, I have the follwoing question:

I have a TMobile (UK) MDA Pro, if I run this update will it work, and will I have to do anything else to ensure it still connects to the TMobiel network as it is mentioned in the first post that the network id was changed to O2, yet people have posted from other networks here advising it works.

Sorry but I have never flashed anything other than the legit patches before and am a little nervous, many thanks for your kind advise.

[cktlcmd]

Anymore updates if this is better for the EXEC?

Thanks very much for sharing. :D

[gaspx]

Updated my O2 Exec the other day.. went on fine, didn't lose any data, everything I use works as it should..

Anymore updates if this is better for the EXEC?

To be honest, I haven't noticed any difference with better call quality or length of time to ring/pickup, but then I didn't have a problem with those in the first place. All i'm interested in is getting Bluetooth to stay on just like the flashing light would have me believe! :) - and this upgrade doesn't fix it.

[Tuningszocske]

After some problems (in some conditions radio modul is slower than before, with using NovosecSmartFilter it freezes...) I'm down?grading back to 1.04.10.

[hoss]

Do you know if this rom now fixes the Exec not sending caller ID to BT headsets with LCDs on them?

I have a O2 XDA Exec with radio 1.04.
This works fine transmitting the caller number to my SE Akono headset.

[hb328_dtdd]

Man this is the BEST thing I have done to my Exec so far !
I have already upgraded to the latest ROM, so lastnight I gave this RADIO version a go.....WOW !!! My phone actually rings FIRST TIME and in time for me to answer now before it goes onto voicemail lol ! Also WOW !!! I actually HEAR the callers voice AS SOON AS I CONNECT the call as oppossed to the OLD radio version where I had to wait TWO SECONDS before I heard the callers' voice !

Overall verdict?...............WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tuningszocske]

I'm very confused. :? :? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[applecom]

Here is my 2p worth, I upgraded with no problem, soft rest at the end, this kept all my data so a simple 10 minute job and i have new radio without the hasel of a full upgrade and the reinstall yoyr apps.

i live/work on the edge of 3g coverage, and with the old radio as i walked around my house my phone would change from 2g to 3g and vise versa, BUT most of the time whilst changing from one band to another it would go No service / searching sometimes it would reconect sometimes i would need to reset it, So for weeks now i have kept the phone band on GSM and not auto, this kept the phone in 2g coverage all the time with no loss of coverage

Now with the new radio i have set bnd select back to auto, and it happly changed between bands with no loss of service.

I also had the problem of answering calls but not hearing the caller for a few seconds, I have recieved some calls today and dont think the delay was there.

[GavinN]

Hi stickeresq / all,

Is it possible to change the .nbf to allow this update to work with say Orange UK?

Gavin.

[cktlcmd]

I just upgraded. Thanks again for sharing this file. :D

[seal]

I have tried twice to install this Radio and both times I get the Wrong Country ID error, I live in Australia on Vodafone, is it compatable.

:o

[stickeresq]

as said previously if it comes up with country code error, WITHOUT DISCONNECTING run it again!

and the network identifier can be changed to any network all I need to see is a previous update package from your network / supplier.

[ziadasmat77]

Just installed without any problems on my dopod,


thanks a bunch

[seal]

Thanks heaps for that, sorry I should have read the forum more, it all worked fine. :lol:

[bonovox]

Installed on dopod 900 without a single problem :) , it took about 20 minutes of upgrade, i used the modified exec_radiorom.exe , thanks a lot to the uploader :D , can't comment now about the improvement from previous rom....need time to play around though

[jbragt]

Somehow i can't download it, any help? Thanks :cry:

[seal]

I don't know if this is relavant to you but I use Opera and I couldn't download the file listed at the start of this thread, it just wouldn't work but when I used internet explorer it worked first time.

[Johny1fin]

Hi,
have installed this and after my fault and full reinstall works OK.
I am on 3 and can confirm phone works OK.
Don't know yet if any issues are resolved but it is picking up UMTS ok at work(as it did before) so we know it works with 3 OK.


John

[cktlcmd]

One thing I notice after the upgrade, I get full 4 antenae bars on spots on my apartment where I used to get just 2. So I'm happy with the upgrade. :D

[StevieDvd]

Thanks upgraded mine with a minor hiccup.

I think all rom update instructions should tell you to turn off all connections (phone, bluetooth & wireless) before you start.

I think the upgrade notes meant to say this as it mentions turning them back on later.


Cheers

Steve

[rilot]

Do you know if this rom now fixes the Exec not sending caller ID to BT headsets with LCDs on them?

I have a O2 XDA Exec with radio 1.04.
This works fine transmitting the caller number to my SE Akono headset.

Yes, but other prones transmit the caller name form the phone book. My SE P910 does as does my Nokia brick.

[achaeusz]

I took the risk against the suggestion fron the local qtek support team and installed the new radio version. I am still testing it but so far everything works fine. The old one was radio 1.03.00. Thank you stickeresq :D

[yezzer]

Can anyone actually give a list of what changes this update makes?

[sttan]

Help,
it's all gone horribly wrong.
I tried to do the radio update on my Orange SPV M5000 and it didn't work.
It said the country code was wrong so I ran it again, and then it still didn't work.

I took out the USB cable and pushed reset as it said on the screen and it's now broken.

Even hard reset doesn't work.

The screen on the phone just says Serial (or USB when plugged in) and v1.00

I've tried to do a complete ROM update using UNI_Qtek_WWE_11364_151_10300_Ship but I get the screen on the phone to say "Upgrade Radio Stack please wait" and the windows program fails with Error 114: Radio Rom Update error.

I'm at a loss as to what to do next, other than try sending it back to orange :(

[ncruz]

Connect the PDA to the PC directly and not via a USB hub.

[amoust]

I did it also. My second attempt after the first country error was the good one. Thank you all guys!

[jah]

My battery life seems to have improved since the upgrade. At least 10% improvement! I also use BT a lot.

[sttan]

So after removing the USB hub, I've managed to run an entire ROM update BUT it still keeps ending up saying Serial V1.00

Here's a quick run down of what I've tried.

I've tried the instructions on how to get the most up to date ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37291
ie using
UNI_Qtek_WWE_11364_151_10300_Ship.exe
on its own, with radio_1.4.10.zip and with the radio_.nbf from the
1.06 version

The update appears to proceed well and ends with the phone showing
100%
Upgrade
CE
Completed

and the windows program says that the upgrade has completed, remove
the USB cable and and Cold Boot the system. (Press on/off and reset at
the same time)

Soft reset (just hit the reset button) gives me the Serial v1.00 screen
Hard reset (hold menu buttons then push reset) then select 0 to restore
says clearing now, then takes me back to the Serial v1.00

What else can I try or is it broken? Any advice on where to get it fixed how much it might be (presumably orange will say I've broken the warrenty!) is there any non upgrade method which might have done this to my phone?

[lpsi2000]

sttan,

You should try rom upgrade again for a second time. Many of us have had this issue and second try solves it.

[difensore]

sttan:

try this .... pop out your memory card (SD or MMC) and update the rom ... try to do a hard reset as well .... i've had some issues with the USB connectivity with activesync ... it's been a well known issue between activesync and wm5.0

take it easy ...

[menipho]

Hey guys!

Thanks a lot for sharing this file with us. I've just done the upgrade and it worked fine. I haven't really tested it but so far everything seems to be working fine!

Since, you seem to know a lot about this staff, does anyone of you know how to set a prefix before dialing a number? It was easy to find and set on WM2003 but don't seem to be able to find it on WM5. I've changed my service provider and my new one requires that a prefix is dialed before the contact's number.

Can anyone please help?

[dmr54]

Just to advise I have run this on a UK TMobile MDA Pro and it worked a treat, just ran it, twice of course due to the country error and it installed perfectlt, nothing else was done just followed the instructions in the first post, so far the answer lag seems to have gone away and signal seems somewhat improved but only further monitoring will tell. So many thanks :)

[sttan]

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys,

I'll give it a few more attempts.

Can someone confirm what sort of reset I should be doing when the phone says that the update is complete, and I've removed the USB cable.

Soft Reset (paper clip to the reset button)
Hard Reset (hold menu buttons and paper clip to the reset button)

Something else? Obviously the windows flash software mentions a cold reset, what is that?

[khaledelfeki]

I installed the Radio Up-Grade to my Jasjar five days ago, and since that time I'm testing the device and I have experienced the following issues:

1- The device started to freeze much more frequently than ever.
2- Sometimes when the device is on Suspend and I press the light button it does not switch the device on again and I have to perform a soft reset.
3- Sometimes when I set the backlight to switch off after 30 seconds it automatically sets itself to switch off after 5 minutes.
4- Before installing the new radio rom, I used to have 26 MB free program memory whenever I restart my device, but after the installation of the radio rom the maximum free program memory I after restarting my device is less than 25 MB.
5- Battery performance seems to be the same if not a little bit better.
6- No change the quality of phone calls compared with radio version 1.04.
7- No change in BT performance compared with radio version 1.04.

The above are some of the experienced issues, and I'm still using the same radio version.

Please note that these issues are not necessary to be general issues, as it may be due to some sort of conflict between the radio rom and the Jasjar ROM version or due to any other cause.

If any one else is experiencing the same issues, please inform.

I will test it for more couple of days and post the results here again.

Best regards,

[cktlcmd]

Hi Khaledelfeki,

On my device, this update totally increased my EXEC's antenae reception. I use to get just 2 bars on my sofa, but after the upgrade It always stayed on 4 bars, so I am happy with it.. I have not had any freezes of any sorts, but I never had them in the first place. I thing I did that might have been different was, after applying the update, I performed a complete hard reset and reinstall everything from scratch. :D Took me a whole day, but my baby is back 100% better! :D

As for the light button, I used the registry editor so that I could assign it to launch any application I want. To turn the screen ON I use the power button.

As far as memory is concerned, after a soft reset, I have 31.31 MB and it stays at 28 MB with use the entire day. I close all applications using HandyMenu which has a shortcut to the built-in "Show all running applications" and from there I just choose close all. :D

[stickeresq]

As a rule the issues people have been experiencing on their handsets seem to be the exception and not the rule.

This is not purely with regard to the update I uploaded but in general. Since purchase I have had no freezing, major memory loss or other faults.

Maybe it's just that the o2 ROM builds et cetera are more stable ?

Who knows! Anyway after having this update applied for a few days now I can easily say that stability, signal strength and signal quality have all been improved since I applied it.

[dmr54]

Can someone confirm what sort of reset I should be doing when the phone says that the update is complete, and I've removed the USB cable.

You need to only do a Soft Reset, this will allow all your data to remain intact on the device :)

[giomir1599]

Just upgraded my Exec with new radio version without any problem.
I've noticed that there's no delay when answering at incoming calls, and also when I'm using Navigon, the phone dialer is prompted immediatly.
About BT ,the issue with my handsfree is disappeared (before the upgrade sometimes when receiving a call I was forced to answer by the phone),but I still have probs with my BT GPS antenna that is very slow in updating position if my handsfree is on.
I think it's a good upgrade,very easy to do ,12 mins in actsync connection and a soft reset at the end.
No problems with Vodafone Italy sim

Bets regards to all the developers...

[jarbi]

Hi All,

I follow this thread with high interest, and I have all respect to the guys who did this !! :D
I have a Mobistar SIM in Belgium, would this upgrade work with this network ? It is unclear to me how to figure out this network ID.
Please let me know ! :?

[Mythozz]

I did the upgrade, everythong worked great with my Qtek 9000...

Soft reset in the end and I kept all my settings... great work thank you for the rom :)

Oh as for the problem with the 3-4 second delay when answering, from the first two phonecalls I've had it seems to have dissappeared... :lol:

I'll look into it :)

Best regards,
I agree with point 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and my points are:

8. This delay when I answer a call and the other side can't hear anything is particularly the same
9. It seems faster the delay for ringing. Usually my phone rings between the first and second ring the caller can hear

[sttan]

Thanks to people who helped I'm at least back from a mostly black screen to a qtek ROM, I still have a few problems (no sound!) but I best move this to a new topic.

Thanks again (after reading all the topics I could) the thing that worked was to run the full ROM update and then just the radio update.

[wh1sp3r]

Just installed:
The first time I launched the program I received an error and the device seemed locked in "USB" mode.
After 30 seconds of panic, I tried again and it worked!
The update took about 16 minutes, now it works really good.
The update does not imply any sim-lock, so your phone will NOT be locked to any network!
I'm using it in Italy with "Wind", also tried Vodafone and both works good!
Hope this helps!
Bye!

[alphaandomega]

With the 1.04.10 I used to get the "No GSM" message every other soft reset. Now, with the new Radio the problem is gone - works perfectly.

[graybo]

Well I upgraded my O2 Exec last night and the biggest improvement that I have noticed so far is with battery performance.

I had upgraded to the latest O2 firmware release and been bitterly disappointed with its impact on battery life, particularly when using bluetooth. Originally I had been able to leave Bluetooth on all the time without impacting my battery life too much, but since that update I have had to turn bluetooth off as I could literaly see the battery percentage dropping in front of my eyes! To me blue tooth was unuseable unless I was connected to a power source.

Since this radio update (admittedly a short time) I have been able to leave my bluetooth on without a disasterous effect on my battery.

I am extremely pleased so far! Thanks for all the work that has been put into this!

[thegadgetman]

Just being paranoid ...

But is there any way to revert back to the original radio rom if this new version causes problems?

[Schlangi]

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys,

I'll give it a few more attempts.

Hi sttan,

are you still in trouble after flashing to radio 1.06.00?
I had the same error, using a full shipment incl. nk.nbf and ms_.nbf.

When searching for this problem here in the forum I got the fix for this problem by deleting the nk.nbf and ms_.nbf file from the directory before upgrading. This will cause a radio-only update, resulting in a running device...

Schlangi

[araappa]

I have the very same promlems as Tuningszocske listed above with this 1.06.00 radio update on my Jasjar.

Frequent freezes and reboots. There is no use from more rapid answering times, since my phone is totally dead few times per day (miss lot more calls than earlier)!

My Jasjar has ROM 1.13.53 WWE, 09/23/05, Protocol 42.40.P8, ExtROM 1.13.137 and radio 1.06.00.

Could these freezes be some incompatibility issue with these ROMs? I think it's time to clean install, and at the same time I could upgrade/change ROM-files. I know there has been lot of discussion concerning which ROM is the best one, but could someone recommend _working_ ROM-combination with this new radio on Universal.

Haven't tried yet, but can earlier radio version be downgraded over the newer one? I had NOT the single freeze/need to soft reset over few week period when using 1.03.00 radio (besides solved/recognized Skype/Opera issues).

Recommendations anyone, please!

[Moandal]

I upgraded my Exec last night - worked a dream, with no problems or side effects. Reception does seem to have improved a bit.

[eappel]

Everything seems utterly solid on my exec after I upgraded it to 1.06.00 last night! :D

Bluetooth call quality is brilliant, even though I live in the middle of nowhere I have an improved network signal (GSM/GPRS)

Will try UMTS & Video Calling tonight.

In the interim I've SFX packaged the Radio Only Upgrade and fired it onto the ftp site (link below)

:arrow:o2 Exec Radio 1.06.00 Upgrade.exe (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/o2%20Exec%20Radio%20Upgrade%201.06.00.exe)

To install the upgrade:

1) Fully Sync your handset
2) Remove SD & SIM Card
3) Soft Reset your Handset
4) Re-connect the handset so Active Sync restarts
5) Double click on the o2 Exec Radio 1.06.00 Upgrade.exe file and the updater program will autorun and upgrade your radio stack.
6) DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS UNTIL TOLD BY A PROMPT
7) Viola! Radio 1.06.00!!!

Hi I did the stupid thing of not actually following all the instructions,
I just installed update over a bluetooth ActiveSync connection.

It never finished but after a soft reset my device sits with a grey screen
with the words Serial and v0.60 at the bottom.
If i plug the usb cable in the text chnages to USB but no other respinse\boot...

I have tried to hard reset and soft reset but the device wont boot

Any ideas?

I had the same problem.
When the device says "USB" it's not locked at all, it's just locked in USB mode.
This means that you can re-plug the cable and launch the update.
Try to launch the update, several times if necessary, and the update will do the rest by itself.
I solved this way!
bye!

Aahh, 100% perfect now, thanks!

After over a week of trying this radio version (1.06) I'm fed up with frequent freezes and soft resets.

I will go back to radio version 1.04... I used it for more than two months with no problems at all.

All the best for everyone.

Regards,

[doody]

Upgraded, no issues, no noticeable improvement... will update if there are any changes.

[Sonelamer]

Works fine for me and never encounter any problem :) Thanks

[Sonelamer]

Works fine for me and never encounter any problem :) Thanks

[AndyCr15]

Mine gave the wrong country error, so I ran it again and it said it was the wrong upgrade for my M5000 :(

[Sonelamer]

Does this only work with O2 Exec?

[patrick421]

Hi.


Just upgraded the OS, and now wanted to upgrade the Radio.
I tried to download the file, but to no avail :(

Anyone able to download the file using this link ?


ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/o2%20Exec%20Radio%20Upgrade%201.06.00.exe

Any other link to suggest ?


Many thanks,
Patrick.

[stickeresq]

just tested it and it seems to be working fine.

[agent003]

ha this done three days ago and can say that there is improvement overal but the one I noticed most was how much faster it took to lock on to my wireless network...great....thanks!

[patrick421]

just tested it and it seems to be working fine.


:(

Still can't download it :(

[John Harkes]

Installed the upgrade no problem. Averaging an extra bar reception now. My old Xda IIs as well as my exec both gave problems with the other party often unable to hear what I was saying even in areas of best reception. This seems to have been fixed now. Great, thanks.
John.

[patrick421]

Working now :) Downloading as I write.

[AndyCr15]

I'm actually still Radio v 1.3.0 on Orange in UK. Can anyone help me? (This upgade wouldn't work for me :( )

[jah]

The new Radio ROM really does improve battery life. The improvement is so good that I don't need to use the PowerSave option!

[d.zee]

I think it occurred after upgrading to radio version 1.06: the backup battery is empty and is not uploading anymore. It says the battery type is unknown, and the word "unknown" is blinking somewhat.
Question:
1. Supposedly all memory is in ROM? so it won't get lost if your battery goes down? Yes? :?
2. Anyone out there with a similar experience?
3. Can it be hacked in the registry? :lol:

[Rapax]

Universal has no backup battery. Doesn't need one, as the memory is non-volatile (doesn't lose data when power fails).

[d.zee]

I knew that memory could'nt be lost. but I did'nt know Universal did not have a backup battery. So why does the device say that there should be a backup battery. Is everybody having the same notification that the backup battery is not recognized?

[khaledelfeki]

Universal has no back up battery.

[firestormer]

I have a mda pro on t mobile web'n'talk. The radio was on 1.00.02 and I'd just upgraded to 1.06. Had to run it twice before it would install.

What I have found so far :

1) my gprs monitor has stopped working and says trial has expired, I was using the one that came on with the tmobile cds
2) I haven't had the chance to road test this new version, but the reception didn't seem much different.

Is there an identifier in the radio rom that the gprs monitor checks ? I presume it is licensed for just the tmbile version :(

Whats the easiest way to go back to 1.00.02 or can I get hold of a version of gprs monitor that'll work properly with this new rom ?

Thanks

[stickeresq]

why is it I haven't lost any messages or settings, my GPRS monitor works perfectly, my signal strength has increased, no phantom battery indicators have appeared, my phone doesn't freeze or crash and this is after upgrading to 1.06.00.

am I the exception not the rule or is it more as I suspect these issues that are probably due to user error when upgrading, tinkering, messing up the registry or third party apps that have been retro-compatible to the universal.

[firestormer]

stickresq,
I speculating that the tmobile gprs monitor checks the radio rom id and finds an O2 id.

in fact I've just gone to your original posting

2) Extracted the radio_.nbf file,
3) Decoded, changed the network id to o2 from T-Mobile and re-encoded the .nbf file,

Could you package it with the T Mobile .nbf file ?

I think you're right about the different states people's universal can end up, WM is still immature technology, probably no better than Windows 3.1 or NT 3.5.

Cheers

[stickeresq]

maybe so.

for the t-mobile encoded one, download the other 1.06.00 update.

I'm sure the other geezer didn't bother changing the operator string.

[firestormer]

stickresq,
where can I find the other 1.06.00 radio ?

the search function is not too good at finding whats pertinent
Thanks

[gaspx]

firestormer, the download link is on the first post of the first page ? -- i'm sure I tried the link last night and it prompted to download ok..

Just noticed something else that this Radio upgrade seems to have fixed (for me anyways!) - I have the Bluetooth switching itself off after hours/days problem when the device is set to turn off after 3 mins.

Before the upgrade, the Blue LED used to blink when Bluetooth had switched itself off, so you didn't know whether Bluetooth was actually on or off without going to the Connection setting (or trying to answer a call via the BT headset and realising quickly enough..).

Now this Radio upgrade hasn't fixed this BT problem in itself (i.e. it still turns itself off mysteriously), but at least the Blue LED doesn't flash!!

Only a small gain, but a worthwhile one and certainly a step in the right direction. I've now switched off the "Turn off device if not used for 3 mins" settings and monitoring: A. how long the battery lasts (so far used 20% in the past 5hrs with little/no use), and B. whether BT stays on until I say so.. ;)

[GDawes]

I think the one on the T-mobile CD is a trial.
Mine complained likewise after a few weeks of use.

[StevePritchard]

FWIW: I've just applied the Radio upgrade to my O2 Xda Exec - it went relatively smoothly (apart from the fact that it wasn't obvious that I wasn't expecting to see an ActiveSync link once it was in Bootloader mode). It's perhaps a bit too early to be jumping to conclusions but:

1. GSM Reception in my house seems marginally improved (from a bar point of view).

2. Connection to my wireless network seems a bit speedier (as reported earlier in the thread).

3. Most importantly (and interestingly), my new Bluetooth headset (BT 23D from eBay) has now started working. Previously it would initiate last number redial, etc, but wouldn't route any audio to it, but it seems to be working fine now. I had soft reset and so forth when testing it, and that made no difference, so I can only imagine it's the update that's fixed the problem - cool.

Cheers,

Steve.

[simon_darley]

Nearly everybody that has posted appears to be an O2 user, the only two users that I could see that were Imate Jasjar users complained, do any other other JASJAR users report positive effects. I am on 1.03 still.

[foxnolds]

Nearly everybody that has posted appears to be an O2 user, the only two users that I could see that were Imate Jasjar users complained, do any other other JASJAR users report positive effects. I am on 1.03 still.

I upgraded my Jasjar Radio from 1.03 to 1.06 with success.

It fixed the ring response time dramatically. The Mobile now sounds between the callers first and second ring tone. Previous version was a 10-12 second delay resulting only one ring from Mobile before redirection to message bank!

Only problem I have experienced that I have yet to repeat, is I could not answer a call with clam shell open and pressing the green top left pick up button. There are other ways that work though.

Bluetooth headset Jabra BT250V still works well.

[simon_darley]

Hi Foxnolds

Thanks for the quick reply, good to see a few aussies around here helping out, i'm in Bne.

Did you notice any other improvements that have been indicated here (improved GSM coverage, improved battery life, improved BT reception communications with headset?)

My phone is on 1.03 and still always rings between the first and second ring when closed, and immediate if open in PDA style.

[RyanZA]

Im using a JASJAR too and upgraded to the 6 ver radio rom. I havent noticed anything bad, but Im not sure if Ive noticed anything good either. I disagree with the guy who says it makes the jasjar crash more - your jasjar should not be crashing in the first place!

Anyway, as far as I can tell, it does nothing harmful and *its possible* it gives better signal/battery life.

[foxnolds]

Did you notice any other improvements that have been indicated here (improved GSM coverage, improved battery life, improved BT reception communications with headset?)
No not really. I'm not a big Phone user. I mainly use my Jasjar as a miniature Laptop replacement and only very occasional phone use.

It will take me weeks to form some sort of opinion on reception changes based on my small phone usage patterns.


My phone is on 1.03 and still always rings between the first and second ring when closed, and immediate if open in PDA style.
I had to get my Phone service provider, Telstra to extend the message bank transfer delay from 15 seconds to 30 seconds so I can actually get a chance to answer incoming calls! Instead of incoming calls being free, I had to pay for message bank missed call retrieval then pay for the conversation as it was now initialed from my own mobile. Good business for Telstra, bad for users... :roll:

[araappa]

I must withdraw my earlier complaints about 1.06.00 radio and Jasjar. After hard-reset and clean install of my 3rd party software, everything is fine with radio. Answering delay is gone when not using hands free, but there is slight (1-2 sec) delay with building voice connection to my Jabra BT800.

Still, also after hard reset there has been few freezes when answering with BT800 _very quickly_ (when testing the answering delay). But normal everyday use is definitely better with new radio (answering delay much shorter/gone, faster connection uilding with wlan, power consumption at least not increased).

[tailazoom]

I have a jasjar radio 1.03.
Wether in on or off state, answers EVERY call after first ring and before the second one. Battery on standby with only GSM active and without any screen or calls activity is 10% a day. Bluetooth turning itself off isn't solved even with 1.06 radio. I dont see any reason to upgrade.

[foxnolds]

I disagree with the guy who says it makes the jasjar crash more - your jasjar should not be crashing in the first place!
I agree with RyanZA on this also.
I doubt a radio upgrade is the cause of the crashing his Jasjar. I would suspect non WM2005 aware applications the likely culprit.

[ajong]

Radio v1.06.00 is COOL... 8) but...
i want to try Radio v.1.08.00..... :P

does anybody have it & share with us :twisted: or we are all wait for Mid March..??

[Riceburner]

Any Orange users had any luck with this??

[cjb]

Just upgraded my QTEK 9000 and all went well, sound quality in BT Bluetrek G2 headset much much better. Many thanks to all in this thread. :D :D :D :D

Regards Colin.

[docraj]

Everything seems utterly solid on my exec after I upgraded it to 1.06.00 last night! :D

To install the upgrade:

1) Fully Sync your handset
2) Remove SD & SIM Card
3) Soft Reset your Handset
4) Re-connect the handset so Active Sync restarts
5) Double click on the o2 Exec Radio 1.06.00 Upgrade.exe file and the updater program will autorun and upgrade your radio stack.
6) DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS UNTIL TOLD BY A PROMPT
7) Viola! Radio 1.06.00!!!

I have upgraded my Dopod 900 without any issues and it is working (to use stickeresq's phrase) swimmingly. My thanks to you, stickeresq, for your work.

To others who are having issues I would suggest that if you follow the instructions to the letter the chances of encountering problems are minimum. I have gone through this complete thread and this upgrade is showing better than 90% success rate across all models.

To help future upgraders I would only add an additional step:

6A. Remove the USB cable and soft reset (do NOT hard reset) by pushing the reset button only.

[Biso007]

I made the upgrade and it went with no problems at all :)

Didn't notice and +ve over 1.04 yet but it's stable so far

Thx for the file :D

[knight900]

Managed to upgrade on the 2nd try. Guys, thanks for all the guide. especially stickeresq, this upgrade is great!!! :D

[megman]

Did you also upgrade your BT800 to firmware v.02.0032 or higher?

[edgley]

I have looked, but couldnt find.

How do you know which version of radio you are using please?

Thanks,

Just to let everyone know, there is already a Radio Version 1.08.00 for the Universal. You can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40961

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[edgley]

Thanks for that, I am on .3, time to play :)

[Wannabe Geek]

Please could you let me know if this radio upgrade includes an A2DP profile...

[hoanglong]

any1 got it working with the orange m5000 yet? :(

[vapor]

any users of Exec tried 1.08 yet? anything new?

[cktlcmd]

any users of Exec tried 1.08 yet? anything new?

Hi, yes I tried it for 2 days and I experienced some problems on it. I reverted back to 1.06.00. Some problems I have are notification error lights keep signaling even after I dismissed it. Another thing I noticed is that my antenae bars keep fluctuating unlike in 1.06.00 where it is solid 4 bars.

You can check the thread I posted above for some more detailed experiences. Others reported that it is working fine for them. Not for me though. :o Version 1.06.00 is the best for me yet.

[kinkybookworm]

DO NOT USE THIS UPGRADE IF YOU HAVE AN XDA EXEC.

I did, and now have a machine which i cannot sync. the screen shows USB 1.o even after a hard reset.

This upgrade is not for the XDA EXEC.

[StevePritchard]

Not true. v1.08 works fine on my Exec. I can't say it's any better/worse than 1.06 that I've noticed, but it certainly works.

Cheers,

Steve.

[kinkybookworm]

Steve, You'll note that we are talking about Radio 1.06.00. I'm pleased that version 1.08.00 worked for you, however I know am the proud owner of an expensive paperweight and didn't want anyone else to go through the same problem as myself.

My problem was that during instalation the installer stopped and told me that it was not for use with my exec and that I should use the correct program. Unfortunately it had already wiped my OS and now my PC doesn't recognise that the USB is connected and therefore cannot try again or revert back to O2 rom image. :( :cry:

[difensore]

there is an issue with USB connectivity on WM5.0 and the universal with ActivSync .... it's happened to me several times .. actually whenever i upgrade anything to my Exec ..... what i usually do is i make sure that the memory card has been ejected at the same time i have done a soft reset when you get stuck on bootloader mode ... i'm sure it'll work for you ....

[StevePritchard]

I sympathise, but I think your circumstances are exceptional. I've upgraded to 1.06, then to 1.08, and last night I went back to 1.06 to see if I could spot any differences. This is what I did:

1. Switch off all radio (I left the sim and mem card in place)
2. Start the upgrade process.
3. It reads the existing versions, and you should select the option to proceed.
4. It puts the Exec into boot loader mode, and then fails with a communication error.
5. Exit out of the update program.
6. Your Exec is now in boot-loader with the "USB 1.0" screen showing - your PC possibly saying there is an unrecognised/malfunctioned USB device.
7. Unplug/plug in your USB cable.
8. Re-run the update program - it will now not show any version info for your device, but continue anyway.
9. The upgrade should then proceed to completion.


I'm not saying it's fool-proof, but this is what's happened to me on my 3 upgrade cycles, and to my colleague who upgraded to 1.06. He had a complication of the fact that he was using a USB hub which caused problems, but once he removed that, it worked as I've said above.

DO NOT USE THIS UPGRADE IF YOU HAVE AN XDA EXEC.

I did, and now have a machine which i cannot sync. the screen shows USB 1.o even after a hard reset.

This upgrade is not for the XDA EXEC.

Whilst there are always warnings with most firmware updates for any type of device, I think this is a bit strong, and it's particularly the last line that I was saying wasn't true.

Hope you get yours sorted.

Cheers,

Steve.

Are you willing to give away your paperweight? I'll pay for postage :D

Kidding aside, this (getting stuck on bootloader) has happened to me lots of times and have always managed to bypass it. Normally this would require a RADIO ONLY upgrade/downgrade/update then after a hard reset, everything works fine. Now if it doesn't "recognize", i tried it on my other computer, then no problem so I think in my case, it is a problem with my activesync as it works on other computers.

Where do i send the postage? :lol:

[edgley]

I have it working on Orange.
Not noticed any signal improvement; still a whole lot worse than my p900.

[StevePritchard]

I've just downgraded from 1.08, and noticed that my TomTom traffic connection dropped a lot more on the way home tonight -possibly as it passes from UTMS to GSM zones with GPRS active.

Cheers,

Steve.

[kinkybookworm]

Mr Pritchard,

I would like to thank you for you frank and sincere words. Thanks to your advice I have now managed to reinstall the O2 ROM image and get my exec back into the land of the living. Long may your installs be faultless.

Kindest regards

KBW

[StevePritchard]

Glad you managed to get it sorted out.

Cheers,

Steve

[Carll]

I have been pley with my exec for a few days now. Im on the edge of a 3g area. It will work in my garden on low signal but not in my house.

Did the radio upgrade to 1.06 and i now get 2 bars 3g inside. Pick up on call is much better.

BT headset working better.

Finds my wirlessnet work faster.

Thanks

[redjupiter]

Hi all,

Can those who took the plunge and used this ROM post a list of noticable enhancements PLEASE?

Thanks....

[StevePritchard]

The only thing I can say *for sure* is that my BlueTooth Headset started working, which it didn't before.

I think that 1.08 is better than 1.06 for handling GPRS connections from cell to cell.

Cheers,

Steve

[Abul]

:(

I didn't have any joy with the rasio update for the XDA Exec/M5000, possibly because mine's on orange.

Anyone know of any later ROM updates i can grab?

Operator Version 7.113.1.130
ROM Version : 1.13.49 WWE
ROM Date : 09/20/05
Radio Version 1.03.00
Protocol Version : 42.36.P8
Ext Rom 1.13.130 WWE

[Carll]

Radio 1.06 improvments I have noticed. I feel this is the best thing I have done to my exec.

1 much better pick up time. no 2 sec gap between hitting call answer and hearing the person.

2 wireless network connection signal is slightly improved.

3 much better signal strength on phone. 3g 2 bars compared to 2g 4 bars. (may be due to it being a clear day).

4 bluetooth working much better on headset not dropping calls.

hope this helps.

[Modoc]

I can't download from the FTP, the page won't load - any ideas? Thanks.

[JasonStauffer]

I was in the middle of the update when the auto-shut off (to save battery) kicked in.

Now the phone wont power up, wont sync, wont charge. I can only get the power led to appear red if I remove my sim card.

Is there anything I can do? Is there a hard mechanical reset I can perform?

Thank you,
Jason

[JasonStauffer]

I performed a hard reset as this: Do a hard reset (press and hold the two buttons on the top row that have horizontal lines on, meanwhile poking the soft reset button on the back.

That seemed to work, except the screen is displaying:

Serial (changes to USB when connected to my laptop:

v1.00

Nothing else...

What now? I'm figuring the hard reset doesn't touch the ROM so I'm still in the same situation?

[StevePritchard]

The Serial/USB screen is the boot loader mode, I think - so all you need to do is try and kick off the radio upgrade again with the USB cable plugged in.

Cheers,

Steve.

[JasonStauffer]

The radio update doesn't seem to work on Qtek. After getting my phone back to life (had to get a hold of the Qtek 9000 ROM Update otherwise I received an invalid country code error) I retried with the same results.

It seems the battery didn't die after all...the upgrade on the Qtek throws it into bootloader mode.

For those who need the 1.09.0 Radio and have a hard time navigating thru the XDA Dev web site, Buzz was kind enough to host it on his web site at the following link:

http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,100/func,fileinfo/id,258/

As i don't belive this is an FTP site, you probably don't need a password.

If you are asking for a new QTEK ROM; it doesn't exist. Only I-Mate has released a new Universal ROM this year.

If you want the original QTEK WWE ROM; with the 1.30.0 radio, it is still on Buzz's website. Just go up 1 or 2 levels and you'll see them.

Dammit Dammit

Can't download 1.06.00 from link on first page. All I get instead is cannot load page: 'The connection was reset'.

This means that subsequent 08 & 09 ROMs are useless because they rely on the installer found in 06.

I then tried the 1.06.00 stored on Buzzdev.net, however, like the 08 and 09 versions here it is the stripped down version i.e. has only th radio_.nbf file which alone is useless without installers.

Typical!

Where is 'here', exactly? :oops:

Thanks again,

Don't get frustrated. The solution is simple. You need to put your device to boot loader mode by pressing the Power On/OFF + Light Button + Reset Pin all at the same time. You will then see the Boot Loader screen. Simply connect your Universal and run the MaUpgradeNoID.exe file again and you will get pass the Error 120. Good Luck.

Yo!

Did it this way in the end:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40986

1/2 hr later, bosh, latest radio & for good measure, ROM & o2 extended.

Got there in the end but a bloody convoluted multithreaded route it was.

BTW, a GUIDES section for each device in this forum would be the icing on the cake - save tossers like me getting arse ache as a result of thread trawling all day.

Try not to get frustrated !!!!!!!!
For the last WEEK I've been trying to get PROPER Bluetooth drivers on my PC and FUCK ME SIDEWAYS. Greedy shites at Broadcon have Fubar'd Bluetooth for everyone. Thanks for that.

Then, when I do get it working (Guys, put the WIDCOMM drivers in your PC you won't regret it) damn Bluetooth range is: the same room!!! Go next door & it's lost - disconnected - naddah. AND THE POINT OF THAT IS..... (answers on a postcard).

So, I thought 'a-hah, update to latest Radio, surely a 1/2hr job' similar to my 'a-hah, Internet via Bluetooth, surely a 1/2hr job'. NOT

Convoluted, Purposefully Obfusicated, Awkward little devices!!!!

In a nutshell, hardware excellent beyond measure, software and drives, shite beyond recognition. Period.

Anyway, my next path of infinite frustration, shouting, hairpulling & cat kicking will be to try and get Bluetooth WIDCOMM drivers on the PPC Xda Exec device itself to replace the shitty limited Microsoft ones,

Wish me luck....

Thanks for that stickeresq.
First fiddling with O2 exec appears to have gone fine.
I might try the next version once I've evaluated this for a few days.

And profile is already out of date...
