Special Edition ROM

Hi,
I'm new to all this. I just got my first XDA and i need to unlock my sim code. I'm not sure how to do all this unix stuff. Is there anyone with all this done. And could they send me a copy so i can flash it to my rom?
My Rom ver. is 3.14.13 if thats any help
Also is this rom version too early for the XDAunlock tool?
Thanks

Seek and ye shall find
Your best bet is to search through the relevant posts (its a long and laborious job) but you will find what you are after.
Also look at the Rom Kitchen and you will be able to 'cook' your own rom and then flash it via your cradle. I do not have a Unix machine but the kitchen will create an exe for you to download.
As for sending you one, I doubt it as the rom is usually about 15Mb in size and so is a no no. Get to the kitchen, start cooking and enjoy the fruits of the XDA gurus labours.
As a word of warning some people may not be so forthcoming with info as they prefer people to search for their answer before posting. Just to let you know and prevent annoyance with regular posters

Goddame, go to : http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen
It's the easiest way, you can cook there your ROM, and after download it ,even as an .exe.
Just be carefull to read the different choices, depending on the ROM you choose first . (don't choose a T-Mobile one if you're not with T-Mobile . I have an O2 XDA UK , and I choose 4.0011 ENG WM 2003, all is OK , before I had upgrade the RSU -> 4.21 on the O2 site
You should read the different threads about that on the forum, so you can have the feed back of others, what to do...or not, problems, etc....

Thanks for your help.. I should have looked around a bit more. I have had a look at the ROm Kitchen and it makes things alot easyer. I keep looking about for more info.
Thanks again.

There is a tool to unlock your XDA made by the super guys here .. check the Unlock forum ... Hint: it doesn't work with ROM 4.xx

Does that mean that if I have a Locked O2 XDA and I install 4.00.11 ENG WM2003, my phone will still be locked?
Also, can I upgrade my O2 XDA 3.15.15 ENG to 4.00.11 ENG WM2003?????
Thanks Amit

Correct. First cook a ROM based on 3.17.03, unlock the phone using XDAunlock from Start/Programs/Phone., and then run the installer exe for a ROM based on 4.00.11 (for instance).

Yes you can.

Thanks Lads I've updated my XDA no problem.
I got a update to 3.17.03 from O2s website then cooked me a Rom update to 4.00.11 WM2003 in the Rom Kitchen.
The only problem i have now is that vodafone won't give me the settings for there GPRS connection because the phone isn't a vodafone autorised phone. Does any one have the settings for vodafone in Ireland? If so please forward them.
Thanks

This is the very essence of silliness. "I want to pay you money to use the service your business is about providing." "No, you're not authorized to pay us money to use the service our business is about providing."

lol

I got on to vodafone a gave them loads. So they put me onto there data support and he emailed me the settings and it worked. Why do you have to go through so much s**t to get what you want off companies like these????
Any how it's working fine.
Thanks everyone for your help!!
My XDA is running perfect :lol:

HOW about O2-ROM version: 3.20.06 ENG with Kitchen ROM 4.00.

How about this O2-ROM version: 3.20.06 ENG with ROM Kitchen version 4.00.16

Not sure what you mean, but I intend to stick the 3.20 ROM in the kitchen as soon as I have some time...

3.20 is the last known version to use the PocketPC 2002 OS, 4.00.11 is one of the latest version with the new version of the OS: Windows Mobile 2003.

XDA OS
Many thanks, one question, i live in cambodia, my network is CamGSM (Mobitel Cambodia), it is posible to update to ROM 4.00.16 T-Tobile? or ROM 4.00.11 is the same 4.00.16 T-Mobile??

If you have Asian Xda use ROM 4.00.05 or ROM 4.00.11.
ATT Radio 4.21.00 works well too if you want the "always on" feature.

Just a question for you guys. I just updated my XDA to 4.00.05 and I am not getting the sound when I connect my xda to the computer (The active sync sound) I know its something small but its bothering me. Is it fixed in 4.00.11?
I assign my own sounds to events
I want it to say hi to my computer when I connect it. It did with Pocket Pc 2002. :-(

XDA OS 4.00.11
Yes, Sure it is very good one, before this my XDA run ROM 3.16 ENG WM2002, now upgrade ROM to 4.0011 WM 2003, every I need are appear, Thanks alot to XDA-Developer, but if you know how to get ring tone with MP3 or MIDI, please let me know.

Where is the problem?
What for error do you get?
If you have selected an operator config, have you regarded the hint to let some free space for the cooking process?

WM 2003 OS on XDA1

Hi
Is it possible to get WM 2003 on the XDA 1. ie upgrade the 2002 version supplied with the XDA1
If so is there a step by step guide to the process.
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
Ric
I read this message on this forum and would like some help please
"T-mobile WM 2003 for MDA I will be available 29.Dec.03 ???"

Yes it is possible to upgrade your XDA I. I put the T-Mobile Backup-Rom provided here on my XDA I and it works perfectly. How to do it, is explained there as well. But be aware that the ROM provided there is a German one. I don't know how to change it into an English one.
C U @ Mallorca

The ENG version is here ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21 .. but be careful as it contains the upgrade for both RSU and ROM.

RSU 4.21.00 (original from O2 web site)
to upgreade downloaded from

but the InstallShield shows this errore message:

How can i upgrade my O2 XDA I to WM2003?
thanks in advance

your device is 900/1800mhz = the A model
the upgrade you trying to put on it is the american version hence tmobile.... which is 900/1900 the B version

EURO Upgrade
Where can i found an european wm2003 upgrade (in english, not in german)?
marco

the versions of wm2003 you can only use are:
v4.00.01, v4.00.05 & v4.00.11 no other versions of wm2003 as of yet the others are american versions.
www.yorch.net

Gaz, ur right but the A,B difference is significant only for RSU upgrades. That's why it's performed with TMO 4.01.00 file as it contains both RSU and ROM upgrades. But if you use Winzip to extract the ROM files only, I don't think it will show this error.
However, I 'm still waiting to see a kitchen option based on 4.01.00, but seems the focus now is on XDA II stuff

Is there any chance you could send me the 4.01.00 file, can't find it anywhere. Ronnie

just check 6 posts higher in this thread :wink:

Your a GOD, thanx :wink:

Hello Biso;
I downloaded the file, right clicked on it and used the winzip options to unzip it to a folder where I found a file named upgrade and a folder named English. I found the folder to contain the rsu, so I did not try to use it as you recommended, and I double clicked on the upgrade.exe file. Unfrotunately the same error message of device a and b came in and I could not continue.
What I am doing wrong.??

Nothing wrong, All upgrades made by operators will do such check and since your device seems to be PW10A then you will always get this error if you use the EXE method.
In the \English directory, you will find a file named NK.nbf which should have a size of 32 MB. After extracting this file, you have 2 options:
1. If you have SD card and reader/writer, put it on the SD card and flash your XDA through the bootloader.
OR
2. Use the XDAtools from this site and make the source is the NK file and the destination is the XDA flash ROM.

2. Use the XDAtools from this site and make the source is the NK file and the destination is the XDA flash ROM
Thank you very much Biso, you were of great help. I just flashed the rom and I know I will enjoy it. by the way I changed my device to qtek 1010, to have an extra 32 of ram.
BTW do you know a cool site from which I can change the skin of the phone. I just did not like the TM logo

Help I'm new and need to change to T-moble from AT&T

I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I'm a t-mobile customer and purchased a Siemens SX56 with 2002 software. I would like to intall the newest t-mobile software along with pocket pc 2003. I have rom version 3.14.03 and radio 6.16. If some one could direct me to where and how to download these programs and install them would be great.
Thanks

If the device is locked, then you need the XDAunlock tool first
Then you can cook any WM2003 ROM in any kitchen

That link did not work. Is there a step through process somewere on the web that you could link me to.

I would suggest the 4.01.12 ROM which is one of the stabelst versions, that include the WModem-Application.
Safest Method for Upgrading is via SD-Card and Bootloader. Fastest method via EXE-Fiel and ActiveSync.
Theer are many informations about this in wiki and the forum.
Yu can get the ROM from the ftp or cook your own at http://www.romkitchen.de/
