Try to Connect it to the cradle and try to access your file using Active Sync Explorer button, then delete the file RsUpgrade.lnk or any related file from the \windows\StarUp folder it will stop upgrading. if you phone still dead please tell me what version you're trying to upgrade, and I will give you instruction of how to bring it back alive.

When I delete the link POGRAMME B.lnk from \Windows\StartUp folder and soft reset the phone there is no flashing at start up indeed but I still have non working gsm part of the palmtop. When I try to manually run the PROGRAMM B (RSU) the flashing stops at 1% and I can see the displayed message "Flash Failed! Press OK to restart your device.". Do you have any suggestions how to flash RSU (gsm part)?

When say manually ran programm B does this mean that you
located and copied RS Upgrade.exe, RSUpgrade.cp64
,monitor_ul_bs.map and monitor_ul_bs.m0 to your devices windows folder then ran RS Upgrade.exe to start the radio upgrade?

No. I've installed PROGRAMME B onto my PC than I run the installation program which copied all the files to my PDA. After faulty flashing which ended at 1% I removed the .lnk file from StartUp folder and after soft reboot I ran the PROGRAMME B manually from Windows directory. Is it wrong? Should I copy all the needed files using ActiveSync Explorer? In the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file I can see files with extensions .001 - 005 and .099. Let me know how should I do that.

Who can give me their T-Mobile number so I can dl the upgrad

hi,
Sum1 here who a T-Mobile subscriber? I have a T-Mobile PocketPC that I need to unlock tho I'm not a T-Mobile subcriber. I need a T-Mobile mobile number to get the upgrade at http://www.t-mobile.com/products/handhelds/pocketpc/download_popup.asp
Or if someone already downloded the upgrade where can I download it without keying-in the mobile number? Thanks.
BTW, I have a question, if I download the upgrade, can I now use the XDAunlock.exe file here (is my ROM automatically updated)? My ROM version now is 3.14.40 ENG. I'm having trouble with the ROM updater here since im not linux literate.
Email me at [email protected]. Thanks a lot

I already downloaded the TMobile upgrade. Can somebody tell me if this upgrade will indeed upgrade my ROM to the correct ROM version with wirelss modem feature to I can use the XDAunlock.exe to unlock my xda? Thanks

The answer is NO, the latest TMO upgrade is 4.01.00 and it has no wmodem.exe application. If you need to unlock your device, go to www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ and use the tool there.
If it doesn't work, try the kitchen at www.yorch.net and cook a new 3.17 based ROM and flash your XDA and unlock it, then you can upgrade to TMO 4.01.00 later.
BTW, the TMO upgrade affects the RSU part. So, unless you are a TMO user you better use the .nbf file only with either SD card or use the XDAtools to flash your device.
Good luck.

Hi Biso,
How can I "cook" a rom? http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php when I go to that website, the only thing needed to be selected are the 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro (6656 kB available) and XDA-developers AutoConfig data (113 kB) under it. and the unlocking option right? This wil be the first to use my pocket pc device, which option should I select under How would you like your ROM?
installer EXE
zipped NK.nb1 (SD-card flashing)
zipped NK.nbf (advanced users)
and should I do anything on the NBF header string?
Thanks man.
If I use the intaller EXE file, how will I "flash" it on my device? What are the differences between using the exe,nk.nb1 and nk.nbf? Thanks again.

I notice that above the page there is an indication, by default when I go to the page (without checking or unchecking anything) the top of the page states:
space in ROM: 6656 kB
used: 7729 kB
free: -1072 kB
*overload*
Should I limit my ROM on 6656 kB (meaning that I have to uncheck other options)? My deveice is an XDA 1. Thank you.

Hi ...
Yes, you have to uncheck some optional s/w till the guage line is "Green".
If you are not familiar with the SD method, just select the EXE type. It will generate a 15 MB exe file which you should download it to your PC. Connect your XDA to your PC throught the cradle and ActiveSync and run the exe file while the cradle is connected to the power supply and follow the instructions on the screen.
Good luck.

Thanks man for the quick reply.
Sorry I'm getting confused. Should I transfer the exe file to the device and run the exe file on the device?
Thanks again

The exe file runs from your desktop, your xda will need to be synced with your pc before running the exe.

Thanks so this is what I have to do:
First sync my device (cradle connected to the power supply) and after synching, run the exe file on my desktop computer (no need to transfer on my device or anything?). That's it?
Is this fail-proof? Will it not damage my device if ever there was an interruption or sumthing? How can I make sure that I can go fail-proof? Kinda worried coz I just got hold of my xda 1 (T-Mobile edition), I'm a palm user before. Thanks
BTW, my PocketPC Version is 3.0.12039 (Build 11178). ROM version 3.14.40 ENG. I don't know if my PocketPC is 2002 or 2003. I'll be using the yorch.net ROM (http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php). All compatible?

ROM 3.14 is a PPC2002 one and all ROMs on Yorch.net is WM2003 except the 3.17 one.
Just to ensure it's a safe process, remove the SIM and SD card from the device and stop any running applications on your PC.
Good luck ...

Thans Biso. How bout a step by step guide? Pls pls pls? Id really appreciate it man.
Like
1. Sync the device (Power connected to the cradle)
2. Run the Rom Exe file
3. etc.
Just to be sure. BTW, is the exe file really just 150KB? Is that all I need to unlock my device?

Hi ...
There is nothing really needed more than what you just wrote:
1. Connect the XDA to the cradle and sync while the power is connected.
2. Run the EXE file and follow the instructions on the screen.
BTW, the EXE file should be at least 15 MB, seems your ROM was not "cooked" well .... try again

Ohh ok. I downloaded twice and all I got was 150kb. how will I know that the ROM i got is "cooked" well so I can be free of troubles. Can you just give me a link to the right/"well cooked" ROM? Thanks man.
One more thing, should I run the ROM EXE file while my device is synching or after the synch?

it's still 150 kb. Here's what it says when I view the log
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files

seems there is something wrong with the kitchen work space ... it happens sometimes ... no big issue.
You may try this kitchen as well http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
P.S: run the EXE file after the device is synced

which one should I pick? Pocket PC 2002 ROM or Windows Mobile 2003 ROM. And what's the difference. Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks for the replies.

Biso,
Can I use an MMC card for flashing? I MIGHT be able to borrow an MMC card. Also, I dont have a card reader but I have a digital camera which I can use to transfer the ROM image from my desktop computer to the card. Would you think it would work? Thanks again man.

will the exe file below work for me?
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
and
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
This is my Device's Information
ROM version: 3.14.40ENG
ROM date: 11/26/02
Radio version: 6.18
Protocol version: 324e4
Pocket PC Version 3.0.12039 (Build 11178) (Don't know if this is 2002 or 2003 pocketpc)
Pls reply. thanks

Hi ...
1. As the figure tells, WM2003 is the latest than PPC2002.
2. I can recommend to use TMO 4.01.00 as I have it on my device for almost 3 months now with no problems so far (few things have to be tweaked tho), but I heard good news about AT&T 30.09 ROM as well.
3. I can't confirm that MMC can replace SD card. I saw some threads on this but no final results.
4. The answer is NO, the only way to move the NBF file to the SD card is either a card writer or by using XDAtools with the XDA cradle. I don't think the card will be recognized by the bootloader otherwise.
5. SER-V12 is a PPC2002 ROM and useful only if you need to unlock your device (which I believe it's already unlocked).

No I just want to unlock the device, that's it I don;t really want a ROM upgrade, just so happens that I need to have a ROM upgrade to unlock the device
SO I can use the SER-V12? Thanks a lot.

Can someone confirm XDAtools does not work with WM2003

I am trying to test out XDAtools and using the WM2003 AT&T rom but keep encountering problems trying to load my rom via programmeA I have had some help from others (see below) but it seems that XDAtools cannot manipulate WM2003? Can this be confirmed and if so I'll abandon this test.
Thank you Cgigate and ebswift maybe this is why I am encountering problems with my download and restore of my ROM. I inadvertently choose a WM2003 AT&T rom to practice with. Maybe I should have chosen a PPC 2002 ROM to test??
I thought I had a problem with XDAtools and that I did not have all the correct links/files in place. Maybe I should dump my ROM and try restoring a PPC2002 and then re try my test. Thanks again guys.

it worked for me
For your info, I used XDATools and Program A to burn AT&T latest ROM. I then flashed back to XDA Developer's SE ROM in order to unlock my phone. When that was done, I reflashed the AT&T ROM. All without hasle.

Did you use bootloader or ProgrammeA ?
Thanks viERJA when you say flash do you mean copied to the SD/MMC card and used the bootloader to load ??

i had 4.00.05 before and used XDAtools to upgrade to 4.01.00 without problems.

well since if you copy the rom to a sdcard and upgrade the rom using the bootloader then xdatools cant really be incopatible with mw2003 since it's the bootloader which do the updating and xdatools does the same thing to the sdcard if you are updating to 2002 or 2003 to and from 2002 and 2003

Good point Rudegar
Good point Rudegar, therefore XDAtools is not being used in the context of elimination of the SD/MMC method. John

SX 56 Upgrade can be used for QTEK 1010?????

Please help if SX 56 Siemens Upgarde can be used for Qtek 1010.I need to upgarde my Qtek 1010 to WM 2003
Thanks

yes the rom of one Wallaby can be used on any Wallaby device
but make sure you dont upgrade the radeio stack unless you use
the same gsm network that the radiostack from SX 56
which i'm pretty sure is 900/1900
if you dont use that gsm network you have to change
the exe file to zip and copy the nbf fil inside it out and update it
using xdatools
if you just use the selfflash exe then you'll end up with a xda which only work on the US gsm network

SX56 WM2003 update aupgrades the radio stack automatically, so you may not get an option to forego radiostack upgrade

well not sure about the 56 Siemens upgrade
but with the tmobile upgrade i just renamed the extention
to zip and extracted the nbf file as i would have from any other
zip file
it were no problem at all
of cause i dont have a clue about how siemens handled their upgrade

Taimur,
I did it for my Qtek 1010 (I live in the UAE). You are right, if you run the application SX56 Upgrade it will try to upgrade both RSU and RUU. I didn't want to upgrade Radio Stack. I used WinZip and extracted NK.NBF file, used Jeff's XDATOOLS (available somewhere on this forum) and transferred it to the SD Card. Then safely used Bootloader method to flash the ROM.
I am very very satisfied with the SX56 wm2003 upgrade. Except for the multiple reset bug, I have not come across any other problem, and I don't need to reset the device often. It's quite stable. It is the upgrade that I have stuck with for the longest
By the way, using Activesync method to flash ROM is very dangerous (Thanks to Windows), and I almost killed my Qtek while attempting it once! Thankfully with the help from ntabikha I managed to salvage it and never since used activesync to flash Rom.
