Hi,
I tired today the first time an update of my O2 mini. After reading quite a few articles on the net I convinced myself that this should be an easy task...
I started the update, everything went well. I was asked to do a reset after the upgrade and wondered a bit about the message on the start up screen - NO- GSM.
I have since tried to update / other versions, radio only etc, I can get it to the 'Stage 1: Upgrading Radio please wait screen but not any further, I have tried almost all available Radio Versions and other version - without any success.
Some help is appreciated!
Rgds,
MM
Risky advice: did you try SD-upgrade?
Or send it back if still covered by warranty.
Cheers, M
What is an SD-upgrade about?
I have a similar issue, not having _any_ reception or network coverage on my S100...
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks

This has probably already been covered but I have just managed to downgrade my radio stack from O2 4.21 to 4.16. The reason I did this was because a long time ago I changed my IMEI to the same as my normal cellphone because I wanted to use my cell sim in my xda and take use of the services e.t.c. unfortunatly three weeks ago I got my cellphone stolen whilst on holiday. I was able to get a new phone but I didn't like the idea of my stolen IMEI being on my XDA too. Plus I wanted to make sure that the git who stole my phone was not able to use the cellphone as I intend to bar it. I did some searching on this site and managed to get a rsupgrade.exe that will downgrade the stack so that XDA manaipulator will allow me to make changes again so that I can re-input the original XDA IMEI..(not sure why i bothered changing it in the first place)
Anyway i'm a very happy XDA user once again...can't wait to get the XDA2!
p.s I upgarded fisrt the german radio stack 3.23 then downgraded from there to 4.16...the XDA is owrking perfectly now
Can you give the steps you took to the downgrade please because this is something I have been trying to do for a long time. Where did you get the german rsu and what made you choose it in the first place?
Can you eventually post or just link the version 4.16 of the O2 RSU?
Thx
Hi,
Had a few private PM on this subject so thought I would post the steps and files I found on this forum to downgrade:
1. If you have already updraded to RS 4.21 from O2, or similar and are unable to downgrade because the flashing stops at 1% (or 5% or even 10%) then read on.
2. It seems that different RSUpgrade.exe's work differently and there is some built in protection from downgrade/upgrading some versions of RSUs like 4.21. Good news is that I have found a work around that worked in my case. If you have nothing to lose please go on.
3. Here is the http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=433 old RSUpgrade.exe that worked in my case and doesn't included the protection. If you have a version of RSUupgrade.exe that you want to install but the flashing stops, please run it, then replace the RSUpgrade.exe (in the /windows) folder with this one downloaded , and run then it. You could also copy the files manually - you will need the RSUpgrade.cp64, monitor_ul_bs.map and monitor_ul_bs.m0 from your RSUpgrade.
5. If you do not have the RSUpgrade such as version 4.16 you can try the downloading from the following location:
Download the 4.16 from O2 and try it
Here is the link (http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda/xda_ROM_Archive.htm)
Hope this helps it certainly did the trick for me, remember though flashing the RSU is dangerous and can seriously mess up your machine.
Thanx a lot, expecially for the links....
Well, I was wondering if someone know the difference between various RSU versions (well, let's talk about O2 ones).
I actually have a 4.06 O2 RS and I think it only supports 3+1 slots in GPRS. Furthermore I think it doesn't support WModem. Am I right?
Do you know improvements of version 4.16?
Then, I would really like to know how many people succeded in upgrading the O2 radio stack.....
Cheers,

Reason? I'm using 1.54.01.00 and I lose service at least twice a day. I have to turn the phone off and back on just for it to find signal again...so annoying...

You know, it would be nice if just ONCE, instead of this stock response you give everyone who asks about a radio, you actually offered up some information that someone could use. For example, not everyone knows that if you use 1.54.30.10 you are stuck with it ... granted, it's mainly because not everyone reads the forums, but if you are going to bother responding, then at least give the newbs somthing to go on.
I am having radio problems myself since I upgraded to the cooked full version of WM6.1 and am also looking for the best solution.
I am using 1.54.01 now too, and my radio reception in Ohio with AT&T is worse than the WM6 2.25 AT&T version, and battery life is worse too. I am going to try to downgrade to 1.47.02 which was listed on the site with the WM6.1 to see if it works better.
Here's an update ...
1.47.02 was also a bust for me. I didn't test battery life, but the reception was bad enough I decided to try something else.
I finally was able to figure out that the radio that comes with AT&T's WM6 Desktop Updater is 1.54.27.00. I have decided to go back to that radio which was working well when I was on WM6.
Sorry, but I don't know how to extract a radio ROM, and I haven't been able to find it anywhere separately, so I had to go the long way to get back to it. There is probably an easier way to do this, but I'm a newb on flashing, so this is what I had to do:
1) Hard SPL the Treo. Note, when I did this to mine it did not go through step 3, so it did not re-flash the radio, and it kept the SPL version on the device. This is why I went looking for a new radio.
2) Revert to WM6 using the SD card update method. Get it here.
3) Install the WM6.1 ROM using the SD card update method. Get it here.
This radio has given me the best results for AT&T in central Ohio as far as radio stability and signal strength. YMMV, but I'm going to stick with it until something better comes along.
If anyone has the skills to extract this radio (1.54.27.00) from the main ROM, it might be of help to others.

A lot of members has the skill and can extract the radio fine. The problem is, they now got themselves a kaiser, some got polaris and others even got a Diamond to play with and as I speak, they're now busy playing with their new toys so, I don't think they will bother extracting the radio 1.27 from AT&T just as much as no one even bothered to help those who are stuck with radio 1.54xxx.
How do I tell what radio version I am using?
When I go to the about in the settings. it does not say anything about radio. it says
Software version:
TREO750-2.18-VFE
Hardware version:
A
.....
Firmware version:
1.47.02.000
CC-Cap:
CFG-AU-009
does this mean 1.47.02.000 this the radio version?

Hi,
I've had my Touch Pro for about a month and I've had enough of that stupid Vodafone start-up screen and everything!
So I've been reading up on this forum and downloaded Total Commander, Advanced Config and RegEdit and I haven't seen anything on here about ROM's on a Vodafone Touch Pro...........and I'm a bit scared of bricking my phone!
So has anyone got an idiots' guide to getting a decent ROM on my Touch Pro? I mainly just want to get rid of all the Vodafone branding and then maybe start playing about with it more!
Thanks
I've just got a Vodafone one too! And was wondering the same thing
I'll await answers from the masses
I have the UK Vodafone Touch Pro and have just changed the ROM to ROMeOS 1.40.1. The speed difference is substancial, and I would recommend it if you are willing to risk your warrenty.
Just make sure you follow all the posted advice regarding flashing your rom.

Has it improved the handsets ability to receive a strong signal.?

I've never had a signal problem, so I wouldnt think so. Its just an OS change, not the radio.
I have a vodafone rom and I thought the slowness was normal (I mean how would I know and different?) :S If there are alternatives, I too am interested.
I had the phone for about a month before I decided to look into the other ROMs, mainly because i'd got into the habit with my old v1606 (Hermes).
After looking at a few I eventually decided to try the ROMeOS one first, and so far I havent regreted it. It seems much faster, and the changes that have been made seem to improve the operation.
You still get the initial Vodafone boot screen then an alternate ROMeOS one, however even the boot seems much faster to me (I haven't actually timed it)
The only thing I will say is that if you like to modify TF3D then uninstall the 'HTC Manila Enhancements' using Remove Programs before you install any other mods or you may get a clash as I did.
I should add that I have only flashed ROMeOS in the last 24hrs so a full 'workout' has not been given to it yet.
Also make sure you read and follow the beginners guide in the ROM Development folder before you attempt the flash.
I have my Vodafone UK Touch Pro for 2 months. Yesterday i decided to change the ROM.
There is sooo much hype about bricking the phone but all the tools out there made it very easy for me, actually i only used 2 tools!
First download and install HardSPL
Then install the rom of your choice using the supplied .exe.
Simple, where abouts you based, could poss do it for you if you want?
I did manage to change my ROM - to the afour mentioned ROMeOS ROM - which is awesome. I did download Elite ROM but it was loaded with way too many programs for me!
It is a simple process, but I still get worried!!
I would like to change my Vodafone branded device to the Romeos rom if possible but want to know how I can make a dump of my current Vodafone ROM so If for any reason the device needs to be sent back I can shove that ROM back on?
Also, when changing roms, Is there a way to not lose your text messages?
Thanks
Regards,
Neil
Yeah - use a program called PIMBACKUP. I've backed all my stuff up about 3 times now with no problems.
You can save your original ROM, I never did as you can download the stock ROM's from here.
Read the Flashing For Newbies topic - it's invaluable. It ill have the links for the downloads you need
Touch Pro's Worst Rom
Just wanted to add my vote for hating this ROM. The red theme is horrible.
I thought I would wait a bit before flashing after shelling out £370 but this ROM was totally ruining my experience. Flashed within 12 hours of the phone arriving!!!
Can anybody who has successfully removed the Vodafone Rom and installed a new one shed some light on how they managed to do it. Ive flashed roms dozens of times on my Kaiser and the Hermes and had no problems at all but so far ive had no joy with the Touch Pro. No matter how i try and install hard SPL (either via the pc or using manual install) i never get past the black screen stage and 0% progress and then when the phone restarts nothings changed and i can no longer connect to Active Sync without hard resetting the phone and restarting the computer. I cannot use the Vodaphone Rom its so awful so im desperate for some advice.
MagicAlex - I flashed my TouchPro twice and had no problems either time. I basically followed the step by step guide which is stickied to the other ROM Developement forum.
Sorry I coudn't be more help, but that's how I did it, thanks to this wonderful forum
oh yeah ive flashed mine three times now. it turned out to be some mysterious issue with my pc. after two days of getting nowhere using Vista32 i plugged my TP into my girlsfriends laptop running Vista64 & it flashed first time. I have no idea what the issue is as i flashed my Vario2 & 3 dozens of times on my pc with no problems at all. very strange!
Hi everyone. Sorry in advance if I annoy any users with my lack of ROM troubleshooting experience.
So I purchased and applied the SIM unlock tool. I flashed the SPL, the Radio, and performed the security unlock and everything worked all peachy and happy-like. I do have to report a very nasty side-effect I've been experiencing since I applied the tools: My WM 6.1 OS gets very unstable at random times. It will run absolutely fast and fine for a bit, then it become absolutely unstable to the point where it does not power itself off via power button and I have to yank the battery. I just wanted to ask what may be causing this stability issue. I tried searching for a similar problem on this and other forums, but not much has come of it.
I have already hard-reset my OS back to all defaults and it still will act out this way. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do? I have tried looking around for the stock radio and SPL to see if restoring it back would fix the problem, but I am not 100% sure which one I should use. Any help would be really great.
Thanks everyone.
Hmm, thanks for the report.
I was thinking of trying the Sim unlocker but want to see what develops of this.
Did you try asking in the Sim unlock thread as well? I'm still busy catching up on the thread...
I fixed the problem. I followed the advice from the video on pocketnow.
I can't post link. I'm still listed as a "new user".
He ran the program, and then AFTERWARDS he downloaded the 2.23.00WU radio from the forum post here on xda.
I re-security locked the phone and changed the radio from the 2.23.00WU to 1.96.00WF. I looked around on google and found it - I'll post link if anyone needs me to find again. I'm not sure, but I believe that the 1.96.00 is the stock version.
Anyways, the stability issues went away completely. I am not sure if that version has the US GSM frequencies on it and I have not tried security unlocking the phone again (I'm just happy to have a working device at the moment). Just wanted to post about what happened.
EDIT: Still not sure if 1.96.00WF is stock but it is not unlocked. I will try the 1.96.10WU sprint version and see if that works ok.
best bet

Hello all.
I'm having some major problems with my Desire S - stock firmare v1.47, T-Mobile - and would be very thankful for any support and advice provided
I've had the phone since late August, and just over a month of having it, the phone completely died. T-Mobile replaced the mainboard, and returned it. Since receiving the repaired handset, text messages are delayed when coming through - sometimes upto an hour. Sent it off to T-Mobile again, and this time they've replaced the antenna. The same thing is happening.
While it was away the second time, I did some research and found lots of people claiming it's an issue with the 1.47 update on the Desire S.
The main reason for this thread is just to ask what my best options are from here. I'm ok S-OFFing and flashing another ROM, or downgrading if this is possible and will definitely resolve this issue; but as I'm a certified noob, I was wondering what advice you guys may have for me
Thanks,
DJM.
can't you just flash the 1.28 RUU?
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I used a T-Mobile 1.30 RUU, and S-OFF'd with revolutionary.
I *think* I might have cracked it - touch wood.
I'm amazed at android releasing updates which impede such basic functions though
great, hope you get it sorted
Thanks man
I'm getting texts through as they should at the moment, so fingers crossed it will stay that way.
I recommend that anyone with a Desire S, especially on T-Mobile UK, resists the urge to upload to 1.47
