You may use any ROM Updgrade, you may even want to cook your own ROM, but please do not think of performing a radio stack upgrade if your present radio is working well and giving you a trouble free service.

Hi guys,
I 'm in same situation but with higher versions, and can hardly wait to get a new 2003 ROM.
I can't just play with my XDA as I use it all the time for work and it's pretty stable so far. I just also can't tell that the ROM is 'totally' separate from the RUU in WM2003.
So the question is: is there any one here who has gone through a 2003 upgrade for Qtek 1010 to tell us his thoughts after the upgrade ?
I read a lot about the stability of 4.00.16 ENG, but all been written was for O2 R4.21 or T-Mobile R6.xx. Did any one in this region (Mid East) with R 3.2x went into this upgrade ? and what is the current status ?
Thanx all ....

Latest ...
I tried upgrading to 4.00.11 ENG from the kitchen ... no matter how many trys it just restarts and gives the same error message "Can't open USB/com port ..." ...
Do I miss anything ??

more update ...
Tried to cook the new ROM as .nb1 file and used Xdatools from the kitchen to flash my device .... same result :? :evil:
Is it possible that there is a ROM protection on my XDA ??? :shock:

Hi Biso007,
Look at the IDIOTS GUIDE at:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3171
and follow the instructions thoroughly one by one and you can't go wrong, it did work for me, I was in the same situation.

Samohile - Thanks. It is good advice to not mess with the radio if you can help it.
My only problem is that my device periodically shuts off. Then pressing the power button soft boots it. I cant tell for sure but it seems that this happens after an incoming or missed call. It seems that other friends using ROM 3.18.04 and Radio 3.25.01 (like our friend biso007 here) seem to have very stable systems.
I can try upgrading the ROM only and see what happens but the information at www.carrierdevices.com seems to imply that both ought to be upgraded at the same time. I notice it is an Australian site. Does that matter? Also, the version of the radio upgrade is a bit confusing, at least from its name. (Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe] ). I wonder what this RSUv1.15 translates into since the name of the exe file for the ROM is nicely descriptive of the version (3.18.04).
Any advice in this would be very welcome..

Well i am using WM2003 4.00.11 and its working fine for me no problem i cooked in the kitchen you just need to read arround this great forum for a whgile on topics such as upgrades and ROM to know exactly what you are dealing with and then you will able to upgrade smoothly.
:wink:

Hi ARZLEB
I read lots and lots about upgrade lessons but none of them worked for me .... I got an advice to use SD card with bootloader as it's the only working way. Now I wonder why the EXE method was created!!
I see that u got the 4.00.11 working. Did u upgrade it using EXE or SD card. Any help would be so appreciated ... thnx

Well i used the EXE methode the file i cooked in the Kitchen but i didnt change the version i left as 3 at the bottom of the page it works fine i upgraded from 3.XX to 4.XX then i downgraded from 4.00.11 to 4.00.05 then upgraded again all using EXE format so far working great.
i will be honest with you i know about the SD methode very well but never tried it so u have to make more search on this issue.
If you need anything more plz message me anytime and i will be more then whilling to help you step by step...

Faisal sorry for very late reply.
I have flashed my Qtek (bought in Abu Dhabi) with several versions of roms cooked in kitchens (Jeff's and Stefans's), but I have finally settled with ATT release wm2003 Siemens SX56 upgrade. It comes with most of the bugs fixed (except multiple reset bug) and is quite stable. I almost never have to reset it. You can flash the ROM only by SD card method though. You can try it. It's always a good idea to flash using SD card method. USB method using ProgramA is not very safe. I guess the network in Pakistan is compatible with the one in the UAE, so you can safely use it, if you don't mess up with the Radio Stack. My Radio is 3.23.01 and I have no problems with that.

Windows Mobile 2003 Release date announced!!!!!!

T-Mobile Germany has annouced the release date for the Windows Mobile 2003 ROM for the XDA I as December 29th. Hopefully T-Mobile USA will announce something similar today. :roll:
http://www.t-mobile.de/mda/software/1,5193,7482-_,00.html

But this is only for German Model, isn't it?

hmmmm ... and how about the language version ?!
to me seems like only German is to be available ... too bad

Release date is now beginning January
Hope there will be an update....
Regards
Stefan

aren't we talking about the German version of WM2003 ..
announce/release date or in general WM2003 official release for T-Mobile ??

monika

http://www.t-mobile.com/promos/ppc2003/
this link was working few weeks ago with information about update but now seems to be dead.... somebody spoke with customer service and they said "in the middle of February" so we will see...
for me 4.01.00 ENG work fine
ps. pozdrawiam rodaczke

well, maybe there has been some minor problems ...
with that ROM release so they've decided to stop distributing for a while, hard to say ...
I presume as official release is hopefully coming with a short notice stick with current version I have
regards,
monika
ps. rowniez witam i pozdrawiam

somebody wrote that 4.01.00 ENG is only good to US tmobile ppc owners because of radio ... I mean only for PW10B1 units ...
I did reflash mine yesterday with this version and I like it so far .... signal indicator doesn't look normal because I dont have signal but my ppc recives calls normally ....

mine XDA is also PW10B1 .... heh
now I know for sure that I have US version, thank you for the tip ...
dziekuje i pozdrawiam,
monika
ps. out of curiosity, have you already get my private message ???

HI Monika,
Where did you get this T-Mobile WM2003 ROM?
Is it English version?
Can it be used in Asia?
Many thanks,

hello, I got it from http://www.yorch.net/ but I use an US version of XDA, for me it's hard to say whether it suits Asian hardware version, my rough guess is that Radio Stack version shall be different .... unfrtunately I have never came across the Asian hardware version
but before making any upgrades read that forum, e.g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4630
and also the other threads just to double check
regards, monika

Tks Monika,
But I see that you are using WM2003 T-mobile ROM 4.00.21.
From Yorch, 4.00.21 is only nbf file which is not nb1 so that I can't use the SD method for upgrading.
Any hint?

i have PW10A1 and i installed the v4.01.00 tmobile update i just downloaded an cooked rom from yroches kitchen then unzipped it all and replaced the nbf file from the v4.01 over the cooked rom nbf and flashes it that way works fine on english netowrks and i still have 900/1800 mhz just what ever you do do not go into phone options and click on the band tab if you do you will loose 1800mhz bank and then be on 900/1900 if you do this load up the bootloader click the calendar button and click on gsm 900/1800 and itll say reset or some crap do this then softreset and youll have 900/1800 back again but dont click on the band tab or youll have to do this.
gaz
p.s ive found it to be quite stable so far but seems to run kinda slower then v4.00.11 but it has improved features

hi
few questions
I have US tmobile Pocket PC Phone so it is type B so I flashed with no problem with 4.01.00 (RUUv2.04b_CEv4.01.00wwe_VS_Ozone_Test_(Integrate_Radio_6.24.01).exe) so I think that this soft will work fine with Monika's XDA if it is American....
Monika your XDA is from AT&T ? or TMobile ?
Is it ok to use it with European PW10A1 ?
gaz do you have exactly same ROM as I have ? (check my signature)
and this problem with band tab is only one ?
do you see TMobile logo when U do a soft reset?
Anybody use this soft ver. in Europe?

i use 4.01.00 with asian radio stack 4.21.01 with no problem
i used flash method when upgrading the rom
i unzip the exe file, took the .nbf file and write it to my sd card using OSImageTool and boot my xda with the SD card... 5 minutes later my XDA is running WM2003 with the latest ROM version :lol:
for asian users, do not open the band tab... if you do that, you have to go to bootloader and choose band 900/1800 to make your xda work again

Hi Toshiro,
I am a bit confused. The 4.00.21 nbf file from Yorch cannot be used by OSImageTool since I tried that before and confirmed by someone else in this forum. He said only nb1 file can be used for SD method.
Also, where did you get this 4.01.00 ROM?
Thanks v much.

Use XDArit.exe insted of the OSImageTool and you can write it to an SD card. www.yorch.net has 2 versions. if the newer one doesn't work, try the older one. I also found I have to unplug my cradle from my computer to get XDArit to work properly.

Upgrade PPC2003 ROM for UK XDA on T-Mobile?

Having cooked up a nice ROM from yorch.net I'm not sure if it'll work yet... Would someone tell me if its 'safe'?
I got the 4.00.05 version (PPC 2003) but doesn't say on yorch.net if its for the US/UK etc.. and want to upgrade it on my XDA device bought in the UK, will this workt? Or is my device never going to work again or pick up a signal in the UK if I do this? I'm currently using my device on T-Mobile network, and don't want to do this if it falls over...
Thanks for the guidance!

Yes if you've cooked the rom it will be safe, as its only the CE ROM. If in future you download a rom from a provider for example, that hasn't been personally cooked, you just need to ensure it doesn't also include a Radio ROM upgrade, as putting one on from the US will damage your device.
HTH
Neil

I did the build of the ROM on yorch.net making the .EXE package, I'm guessing that everything gets installed through Activesync, is that right? Or do I need to manually do some 'work' here?
Thanks for the response!

New kitchen on line

http://xda.weblink.net

Hah, worked straight away and it's fast. Well done!

Showing the Server stats is a nice touch.

getting realy busy latetly..
I counted up to 20 rom's burning at the same time.... 8)
The only problem the bandwith is going bit down :roll:
Enjoy while you can...

Makis, I noticed the new appeal for donations.
I might have considered a donation if you hadn't blatantly plagarized the appeal for donations from the xda-developers page. Given that a large amount of your traffic must originate from here, couldn't you think up an original appeal?
Post a reply here when you've updated the page.
PDH

I didnt see any copyright notice on the xda developers donations invitation :?:

That's not my point.

New Kitchen Online
This new kitchen ROCKS! I would gladly have donated but the link to do so isn't working. I got a cooked ROM that gave me EXACTLY what I wanted AND my Internet Explorer is working again AND I still have an excellent signal. THANK YOU TO THIS ROM KITCHEN!
I'll check back periodically to see if the donations link is working. 40 euros ($50 USA) is worth it after what I've experienced!

Can XDA2 allso do this !

WM2003
Hey guys,
Which version of WM2003 does NOT have the t-mobile features built in? I've tried 4.01.16 and it rocks except it has a lot of these t-mobile builtin functions (such as it's internet explorer connections being designed for t-mobile) which doesn't work for me since I have an O2 XDA and use it in the Philippines though at the same time I don't want to give up the benefits of having WM2003. Which version ROm should I get? WM2003 4.01 BETA?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

4.01.00 has the Tmobile stuff in it as well. I think 4.00.16 doesn't, but one thing you lose is the Settings menu to choose 1900 or 900 MHz band. You can change this in the boot menu, but in my experience this sometimes leads to a cold boot.

For the past 6 months I've been running 4.00.11 ROM with 6.18.00 Radio,
that was cooked in one of the Kitchens. I use it on T-Mobile USA network and have run it throughout Asia. It is mostly excellent. 3 questions:
1. The original details about the T-Mobile upgrade stated it runs LANDSCAPE mode on the fly. I really want the upgrade, mainly for this feature. This feature no longer is advertised. Is it in the upgrade?
2. There is a rom kitchen listed in this forum that has the new ROM 4.01.16 listed as a choice. Does anyone know iif this version is the newest T-Mobile version or just an earlier beta? Does this version have Landscape mode?
3. The original ROM kitchens discussed how thier cooked roms were less memory intensive than official ROMs because they eliminated some kind of T-Mobile architecture. Does anyone rmember what this was and if it is still true?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Band changing with t-mobile software
Just out of curiousity, is the hardware for t-mobile and XDA exactly the same? I mean can I actually switch the band to the US frequency when I'm there and get my phone to work there?

I´m using the German official release of the t-Mobile ROM (4.00.33).

As much as i know, the 4.01.16 is the latest and the official version from T-Mobile in US. I don´t think, that it supports the landscape mode

I think the great differance between original ROMs and cooked Roms is, that the free space in the ROM can be used for own programs and the programs will still be on the device after a hard reset....

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 Vodafone Branding

Hello everybody,
I have bought my new HTC HD2 from Vodafone Germany. I live in Germany and ,as all windows devices, my HTC is localized to Germany and the windows mobile 6.5 comes with the German language and I wanted to change it to English. I tried to download the ROM upgrade to "English-Arabic support" from HTC website but when I put the serial number of my device it says that this version is not suitable for your device and I have found another version "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe" and when I tried to install it I got an error says "INVALID Vendor ID" or something like this.
Finally I have bought a 3ed party software just to be enabled to read arabic but the language is still German
So please if anybody knows how to solve this problem and help me I will be thankful.
Best Regards,
Amer

install hspl then instal whichever run you like via usb.

i had the same probs here with vodaphone uk...
as above, install hspl, the sticky of this can be found in the leo roms section of this site and it will guide you, but the installation process is really straight forward.. then you are able to install any of the ROMS, be they official OR custom cooked roms..
My personal favourite is the ENERGY series of roms.. but have a good look about, im sure you will find many that offer the practicality and versatility your after!

Hi Ell_H,
Thank you very much for your reply and I have read about HSPL and it sounds amazing tool but another question about restoring the old system. How can I get the original ROM and restore the system to its old state after changing it?
Thanks in advanced.

You need to find the original rom for your phone, both region AND provider(if you were getting invalid serial on teh htc website then your phone is provider locked, so for example you would need to look for the german t mobile rom, if you got your phone from t mobile germany)
Once you have your original rom you can then use sd card method to remove hspl and restore to factory rom. You can only do this with your original shipped rom.

Problem upgradind German Vodafone ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem upgrading the Vodafone ROM. I would like to load the generic ROM or any other ROM that works with Vodafone. It can be English as well. If I try to load the generic through HTC site it checks the SN and doesn't allow the ROM upgrade.
What to do to load another up to date ROM without running into the same issue as Amer? There are so many ROM version out there and I don't want to risk trying the wrong ROM.
Thanks for help!

You need to obtain the rom from vodafone, or use HSPL / Gold Card to flash another ROM.

Thx for answer. I read about HSPL and will figure that out. I read there are requirements concerning the radio. My radio is 2.04.50.22_2 and ssems pretty old. Does someone know where to find the best guide how to do the HSPL install?
There are many ROMS out there and I want to make sure I will not run into trouble using it with Vada. What ROM to take is the question?
Danke!
