Gentlemen,
Firstly, Thanks to the XDA Developers for this cracking set of tools.
I am now thinking of upgrading my radio stack. But before I do that, has anyone else upgraded?
Are there any liksted benefits for upgrading to 4.21?
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

PS for those who have upgraded to WM2003... there are a few programs that you will need to upgrade from the manufacurer's websites... namely:
Cadenza mNotes
Microsoft Money for the pocket PC
These two programs dont work with WM2003...
There is an database patch for WM2003 at the Microsoft Web site. I installed it and these programs are working now.
Here is the link:

Hey
Thanks for the reply. The only problem is that the MS website seems to be very busy and I cant get the file...

Hiya all,
Firstly thanks to all you guys who have spent so much time and energy on developing these great tools and apps.
I have a problem.! Updated my XDA to PPC2003 from Yorch's kitchen; fine for 2 or 3 days and then it started doing soft resets and things of its own accord.
Anyone else had the same problem; and more importantly, anyone know how I can get round the problem. I'm now back on the old rom but liked the tools that 2003 had with it. Especially the phone bits, individual ring tones etc.
Somebody please help me. I have had a good look round the forums for info but everyone seems to be either obsessed with the XDA2 (aint we all.!) or the Tmobile rom update.
Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers :?
PPC2003 Config
Radio stack version 4.21.00
Rom Version 4.00.05
Original Config (which I am back to now)
Radio stack version 4.21.00
Rom Version 3.17.03 Eng
What version and radio
Which version of ppc2003 did you cook?
I have had great experience w/4.0.16 and radio 6.24.00 TMO
The first time I loaded I had some problems but I had forgotten to do a hard reset. The really small hole on the lower right by the head phone socket. I reloaded the new rom did a soft reset then a hard and Bob's your uncle it worked great.
Hope this helps. I doubt anyone can help significantly until you specify rom and radio version
As you can see, I have a real old version of Rom and Radio Stack!
Where can I get the new PPC2003 in combination with a new RadioStack?
Where did you get it from?
THX
www.yorch.net
That should get you what you need :wink:

Did you get anywhere? Im looking for advice on upgrading from PocketPC 2002 on my uk O2 XDA.
I found the free upgrade from PPC2002 to Windows Mobile 2003 (AT&T services) on this site, but it updates not only the operating system, but also the radio stack:
http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda_DADS,00.html
Afterward, I wanted to unlock my phone and used the xda-developers special edition ROM. I guess it put the older PPC 2002 back on my XDA, but unlocked my phone AND I have fabulous reception where I had no signal before! Some of the new things from WM2003 are gone BUT I have great reception. The WM2003 nk.nbf file left on my computer is just under 32MB, and that is, I guess, the actual operating system upgrade w/o the radio stack changes the link above gave me. Trying to be brave enough to load it back onto my XDA... as I don't want to lose the fabulous reception I now have.

No such thing called XDA version Windows Mobile 2003 SE.
It doesn’t exist.
Windows Mobile Second Edition? Not until summer/fall.
Microsoft is suppose to launch the second edition of Windows Mobile aka Pocket PC 2003 towards the end of summer/beginnning of autumn. The only device they've announced to support the updated OS is the Motorola MPx200. Until it's release, Windows Mobile is the most recent OS for Wallaby devices.
WIN 2003 SE!
ah ok, so the new Windows 2003 SE has not been released yet!
I have the Microsoft Windows 2003 SE emulator images, but i guess it won't work for any device! I can only use the SE version on emulator, so thats why I was wondering if they've released it on real devices!
so what about the latest ROM version for XDA I??
I have found that 4.01.16 ENG (from http://xda.weblink.net) is the latest Windows 2003 ROM among all the kitchens!
Is there any newer version ??
I also found a ROM called A.30.09 ENG.. What does that mean?? Does this ROM works on XDA I ?
Thank you all
4.01.16 from T-Mobile or 30.09 from AT&T are the latest WM2003 ROMs available for XDA I ... however, A30.09 has a silly sound issue (clipping).
Well, I believe the SE edition has been released. Is there any way for us xda 1 users to get this thingy working on our units?
the SE is released for OEMs only ... it's a matter of time before it's commercially available especially the PE
ThAnKs dude I will install the T-mobile 4.01.16 ENG then..
FYI: I've seen WM2K3SE running on an XDA I device at the MDC last week in use by a MSFT. I was not able to inquire as to it's functionality as I'm sure it isn't optimized yet - much like the beta version I received for my hp iPAQ h2210.
Pity you didnt get a rom dump on an sd card
oh yes, good idea to take an image of the installed ROM on SD card!
I am going crazy searching the net for win2003SE!!!! I can't find any
I just have it on my emulator, its fast & i guess its well optimized more than previous versions!
Hi,
I just received my SX56 two days ago. I have T-Mobile USA service. I'm trying to figure out the Windows Mobile 2003 upgrades and all that. I found the ROM cook site. So, from what I understand, I can cook the ROM from the site, download it and run it to upgrade my SX56, right? I will not need to do anything else. Everything's included in the ROM downloaded from the site? Also, what version should I update to? A.30.09 or 4.01.16 or something else? Please help!
Also, is there a way to have Bluetooth enabled in SX56 or is it a hardware restriction?
Thank you.
for now i would stick with what you got
and no a rom change could not make it do bluetooth
not even make it work with sdIo Bluetooth cards
I have used PPC2003 before and I have bought few applications that only work with Windows Mobile 2003. That's the reason why I want to upgrade SX56 to 2003. Could someone please guide me to the correct version number for T-Mobile? Thank you.
The 4.01.16 is quite good and stable. (does not have the audio bug).

Ps: There's also the SD Erasure!!! buggy WM2003
Hi!
I have the XDA II (Qtek2020) and it used to work fine... But for some reason now I can't enter my contacts and my calender. And if I'm so lucky to enter, it is all ****ed up and I can't read half of it. The buttons, text and so on is simply gone!
I was sure that a hard reset would do the trick, but that did not work Now I dont know what do do. My calender and contacts is what I'm using most on my PDA. And further more my icons are missing when I e.g. go to "System" or any other menu. Does anyone know what I can do? My XDAII is totally useless...
As far as I see it my only option is to try to install a new ROM.
I'm currently using ROM version 1.03.00 USA and Radio version 1.05.12A - VM2003
But I am a totally newbie in this upgrading thing... I know that I could (and I will) read a lot in this forum on updating it, but I know that it will confuse me too, cause there is a lot of opinions and a lot of threats...
I would like if someone would simply say:
* "This" is the best ROM you can install. There are no bugs and it runs perfectly! (ofcourse I want the BEST rom with the best radio too - I want all the best :wink: )
* This is how you upgrade - simply and easy described.
I need to have installed a ROM that allow me to use TT5 and does not freeze... Also have to work with bluetooth support...
How about the radio part? Is that included in the ROM or do I have to install that seperately?
How about updating to WM2005? Would that be a good idea or are there still too many bugs? I need to sync with my desktop. I've heard that WM2005 is having trouble doing that? And how about programs working on WM2005?
The XDAII is unlocked.
Thanks in advance!!!!
And thank to you people for reading this post and replying seriously.
I appriciate it! I really need your help
in the ftp there is a 1.75 rom which i think have radio stack 1.18
personaly i'm still using the norwegien 1.72 with 1.14
never heard about a problem such as yours
unless you restore your backup i dont really see how these issues could
survive a hardreset
the radio stack is included in the rom upgrade¨
about upgrading here is a guide
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaRomkitchen
The only back up I'm restoring is my contacts and my calender from Outlook on my desktop...
ROM 1.75 ? Is that VM2003SE or WM2005? I assume that it is WM2005 when using the radio stack 1.18???
"The Norwegien 1.72 with 1.14"? Is that WM2005? Working fine? No probs?
How do I access the FTP? Excuse this newbie... :roll:
no 1.75 is not 2005 it's 2003 (not SE)
ftp
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
2005 dont come with a radio stack of it's own so if one upgrade to it one get what ever radiostack one already had
1.72 is also 2003 (not SE)
my reasons for not getting later editions is
the 2003SE in english are manualy translated from chinese so it's not official and some people report issues with the transscriber and dictionary i believe
the 2005 i suspect dont use the ATI chip which mean that it's GUI is slower then earlier roms some guy did some benchs which showed that it was much slower with 2005 then with 2003 when it came to graphics
imho then 2005 is reported a bit slugish speedwise
and it dont really offer something which i need so i havent taken the ride myself
my 1.72 is working just fine
If I upgrade to WM2003SE or WM2005, can I then easily downgrade if I'm not satisfied?
Dear everyone, i have an Imate Pocket Pc, i have gone through a lot of upgradations and finally i have a Rom version 1.70a.96WWE , Radio 1.18.00 protocol version 1337.38 . I am having a tough time getting this to sync with my laptop throught bluetooth. I am thinking of reverting back to WM 2003. However to my surprise i couldnt find the files for imate at all , all i could was for Axims, Ipaq's etc. Even buzzdev.net has only WM2003 SE. Someone please tell me where i can find it. Please
Here you go...
