HELP | Unable to upgrade Radio to 1.16 on the new TyTN

---

Guys
I just got my TyTN (unlocked, stock TyTN, HERM200, HT636 series) yesterday. Device info as follows:

ROM version: 1.18.255.3
ROM date: 07/22/06
Radio version: 1.03.03.10
Protocol version: 32.34.7010.01H
ExtROM version: 1.18.255.106

I am on Cingular and in the Washington DC area.

I was trying to flash the Radio only to 1.16 because I am having issues connecting to the Cingular UMTS network, as per the wiki site (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ctedRadioRoms). Here's what happened:

a. I ran the upgrade file.
b. The device got into the bootloader mode (tricolor screen) successfully
c. Then the upgrade utility gave me the following error:
ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR

The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check the vendor website and download the correct ROM update.

Click Exit to quit

(attached screenshot)

d. I clicked Exit. The device remained in the Bootloader mode (tricolor).
e. I then removed the battery and restarted it.

Thankfully, the device started working properly after starting up.

Any thoughts regarding what's going on? Why was I not able to update my Radio?

I will really appreciate any help in this regards.

tried to run the upgrade twice when you get the error? without disconnecting the device from usb...

No pof ... I haven't .. I disconnected it before restarting it. What exactly should I do this time?

Everything ok until "d", don't do "e". Go to "a" again.

I followed all of above steps with my stock TyTN. Fired up the upgrade again after the country ID error, I get the white screen indicating a radio upgrade is being performed. After a while I get the 114 error, I reset the TyTN but the radio is still 1.03. Anything else I need to consider?

check your bootloader version. Radio upgrades can only be done with bootloader 1.04, if you have bootloader 1.06 you don't have the 'rtask' command needed to go to radio bootloader.

Ok, I have 1.06 bootloader. I was interested in a newer radio ROM to figure out whether my old ROM prevents me from having a simultaneous voice/data connection...

Any suggestions what to do next?

Flash a ROM matching your CID with bootloader 1.04.
