GPRS Connection -- WM2003 and T-Mobile - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

I flashed my T-Mobile phone with the cooked version of 4.00.16 from Jeff's kitchen, but now unable to browse the Internet with Pocket IE or use Avantgo. However, I can ping web sites using vxUtil, update time on my phone, and log in with MSN Messenger. Is there a new setting in WM2003 that I am not getting? I configured the ISP connection as: Cellular Line (GPRS) and used internet2.voicestream.com as my access point. I had no problems using the original ROM and SER 1.2. What are my options? Downgrade to SER 1.2? I was unable to directly downgrade, it appears I need to use bootloader and reflash to 1.2 ...
Thanks!

See if this will help!
Use Pocket File Explorer to locate and run welcome.exe.
Note: welcome.exe is located in your Windows root folder
also if you're unable to see/find welcome.exe it may be hidden
if that be the case just tap&hold on a blank spot and select
"View All Files".
Oh yea make sure Pocket IE is closed before you run welcome.exe. :lol:

Problems with SER & ATTWS

I upgraded to SER last week. I love the update, but I've had a lot of problems connecting via GPRS. Specifically, I'm now asked for a username and password where I wasn't before. The phone seems to make a connection if I don't enter anything, but can never get to a server. Seems like a problem with nameservers, but I've checked over the settings a couple of time. Is there some way to fix this problem? Has anyone else encountered similar issues? Also, would it be possible to return to my old ATT rom without relocking my phone? Sorry if these questions are pretty basic.
Try the new ppc2003 4.00.05 rom. I have it with attws in the US and it works flawlessly. If you are not leaving ATTWS dont worry about having your sim locked right now. Get a card reader and do everything via sd card flashing. you will not have all the problems you see people having in this forum.
thanks for the advice. which one are you using, with or without radio update?
thanks

I use the ATTWS Radio A.20.10 and the T-Mobile WME 2003 4.00.10 and the combination is working well in the Los ANgeles area on the ATTWS network.
It sounds like you tried to setup your network connection the way ATTWS reccomends in WME 2002. This will not work! Forget about the proxy settings, they do not work on WME 2003 (I haven't tested on 4.00.10 but I did test on 4.00.01 and 4.00.05). The proper settings are:
1. Create a new connection
2. Name it whatever you want
3. Slecte Cellular Line (GPRS)
4. Set the access point to "PROXY"
5. select finish, you are done
It should work just fine with always on GPRS.
where can I locate that radio stack?
thanks

That radio stack is part of the current WME2002 release from the Siemens' web site. Download it and install the whole thing, then using the SD card method just update the WIndows CE portion to 4.00.10. If you have already upgraded the Windows CE portion, then you must copy the 4 files (2-RSUPGrade and 2 Monitor_UL_bs) files to the devices \windows directory and execute the RSUpgrade.exe (not the cps). YOu should see several threads on how to do this throughout the ROM Updates Forum.
Do be careful as RSUpgrades are the most dangerous and tricky and we have seen more problems in that area than any other.

Question:Wireless Modem for T-Mobile...modem not found!

Hey everyone,
Ok, I'm having trouble using my XDA as a Wireless Modem. I have already taken the following steps:
1) Setup the modem and connection on my computer (using the many guides found on these forums)
--I used internet2.voicestream.com as an access point...is that correct?
2) Ran the wmodem.exe application and hit start
3) Dialed *99# from my computer via Serial Cable
When I connect it gives me the following error on my Computer:
"Opening port...
Error 633: The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly."
I know I am using the correct port (COM 1), because Activesyinc recognizes my XDA via serial port.
Obviously the computer is not recognizing my XDA as a modem. Did anyone else have this problem? If someone could please help me it would be GREATLY appreciated!
Ensure ActiveSync is not using the serial port, i.e. close the ActiveSync on your XDA before running WModem, i.e. your ActiveSync on your laptop should show as disconnected.
Here are my config:
(1) From Windows 200 / XP / 2003, create a modem as follows:
Standard 33600 bps Modem (yes don't choose higher rate one)
-- Maximum Port Speed = 115200
-- Extra Initialization commands: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","INTERNET2.VOICESTREAM.COM"
(this is for US T-Mobile users, other others, change the internet2.voicestream.com to your phone company equivalent)
-- Flow Control: Port Speed=115200, Flow Control= None
(2) Connect your serial cable to your XDA I
(3) Run the Wmodem, and click "start", you have to ensure your phone connection is online to be able to click "start"
(4) Now try to dial from your laptop using the connection created in (1)
username: voicestream
password: (empty)
Dial: *99#
You are on!
Hmm still not working...
Can you check your Diagnostics tab in the modem config and see if it reads:
"Hardware ID mdmgen336"
Also, I am running T-Mobiles release of 4.01.16 ENG. Obviously this did not come with the wmodem.exe application. I just downloaded it off these forums and transfered it. Do you think its possible that the 4.01.16 ENG did not come with the neccessary files to make the XDA a modem? If so, what ROM can I get that has wmodem.exe, or is there a place where I could download some .inf files to make it work?
Appreciate your/anyones help!

This will never work. You can´t get it working, since the wmodem application didn´t work with this ROM version. You should change to ROM 4.01.12 and then try it again....

Alright thanks, I thought it would since the wmodem application ran in 4.01.16
EDIT: Oh one more question...now I know why I have 4.01.16 again. When I go to the kitchen. Which option do I select for T-mobile in the USA? Is it No AutoConfig data? Thanks.

GUIDE: Mac OS X and Cingular GPRS with the HTC Wizard AKU2

I have successfully connected with the Qtek 9100 AKU2 ROM (the latest stable ROM for HTC Wizard) to Cingular via Bluetooth and Mac OS X 10.4.6. Instructions:
1. Pair OSX and the phone. You might need to check the "any device" checkbox on OSX's pairing utility.
2. Verify to OSX that you do want to use that device as a modem (if you don't get that dialog, then you will need to create the Bluetooth connection yourself -- message me or leave a comment if you need instructions and I will reply to you).
3. RENAME the attached iPAQ-GSM.txt to plain iPAQ-GSM (remove the .txt extention using the Finder 'Get Info' dialog). Copy the file "iPaq-GSM" to your /Library/Modem Scripts/ folder. I modified the original script that was floating on the internet for a year now in order to work with Cingular (the original script wouldn't get a carrier signal with my phone -- it needed some small initialization changes).
4. Go to your System Preferences/Network/Bluetooth/. There enter the following:
Service Provider: Cingular
Account Name: [email protected] (case sensitive)
Password: CINGULAR1 (case sensitive)
Tel number: *99# (the *99***1# number that does work with other phones doesn't work with the HTC Wizard)
On PPP options uncheck "tcp header compression".
On the Modem tab uncheck both "enable error correction" and "wait for dial tone". From the modem drop-down menu select the iPaq-GSM modem script.
Then, click Apply and then open the "Internet Connect" application and select Bluetooth from there. Click "Connect" and you should now be connected on the net via Cingular GPRS/EDGE.
Alternatively, you can create a new networking bluetooth connection instead of using the generic bluetooth networking pref panel, but that involves a bit more work -- although I personally prefer it as I have over 8 phones and I need different networking connection names and settings for each, instead of using the default "Bluetooth" one. If you are on the same boat, IM me or leave a comment for more instructions.
Thanks
dude you just made my day. It works perfectly. Thank God for people smarter then me.
Unfortunately, in my AKU2 QTek ROM, the PPP server dies right after I disconnect from the Mac. I have to reboot the PocketPC before I can reconnect my Mac to GPRS.
If anyone knows more, please download the script above and tell us if there is a way to fix this.

hey guys,
just wondering if you've been able to sync your MDA(Wizard) to your mac. and if so, how? also, any luck updating ROMS without a PC?

Internet Sharing CAB File for WM2003

Hello!
I am looking for the cab file (if there exist any extracted one) that is found in most of the WM5 and WM6 OS. It is the Internet Sharing program that lets you connect your PC using USB to the internet. I have searched everywhere but could not find it. I did find the Vista drivers though but I cannot use the internet sharing without first activating it on the mobile phone. This is for a HP 6315 that has WM2003.
- TKN
I don't have a CAB file but I extracted this from an HTC Universal ROM. Just copy and paste this file in the Windows folder, then create a shortcut icon in Windows>Start Menu>Programs.
---
I will try it today after work and let you know if it works in WM2003. Thanks!

My PDA (iPAQ 1940, wm2003) told me it's not a pocket pc valid application
And i think it's not a w32 application...
I'm searching for a way to simplify the connection between my PPC and my UBUNTU laptop...
And wm2003 doesn't have a native program to do that
Thanks
internet sharing will only work with WM5 not WM2003, which is the reason your ppc says that it is not a invalid ppc application
Internet connection sharing is a new feature of wm5 networking. It wont work on devices with previous os.
The error that it gave you is because of the fact that it's compiled for a target CPU that is different from yours.
I would very much like to get a utility that can work in windows mobile 2003, with similar features of internet sharing in wm5 or wm6, so that I can share the internet connection of my ppc in my laptop while I can still receive phone calls and text messages. Can anyone develop such a tool?
Ok, i understand...
I have to try out other roads to share my internet connection from ubuntu to my pda
Tnx to all!
I will try the programe for my FS LOOX T830. Thanks
I don't have any.I will try to apply that.

Internet sharing stock files/cab request (can't connect)

Hey after flashing my tp2 (Energy rom titanium w/manila 2.1 june 19 2010 rom) and installing a few cabs i cant get a connection to the share my internet connection by usb on my pc. I don't know if it was the rom or the cabs i installed. (Im using T-mobile data, epc.tmobile.com)
Under the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Comm/InternetSharing in the settings folder there is a file named: "Default", data: "value not set", Type REG_NONE. Under the status folder that same file is there along another NAME: Enable, Data0x00000001(1), Type REG_DWORD. This is when i have the phone connected to pc and using internet sharing. I think my registry might be messed . The device is recognize that is trying to access the internet on the PC but it just doesn't establish the connection. Can anyone help me out? Is there such thing as a stock internet sharing cab or if some one sent me their registry files would that fix the problem? Thankx
