I previously flashed my rom version from ATT/Siemens upgrade,A.20.17, to the XDA-Developer's 3.17.03 using usb cradle. This was so I could unlock my sim card. Everything worked smoothly, I can make calls and everything. Now I want to upgrade to the new ATT WM2003 and it tells me that "The ROM image that you are trying to upgrade is not ucompatible with your Pocket PC.
Your current device information:
Model: PW10A1
ROM Version: 3.17
Lang: English
Your upgraded image information:
Model: PW10B1
ROM Version: A.30
Language: Eng
So I tried to upgrade back to A.20.17 hoping I could go from it to WM2003, No luck. Any suggestions? :?
I think the installer is mismatching the version numbers. Your XDA thinks its a PW10A1 which if I'm not mistaken, is the Euro version of the xda - probably down to you using the XDA-dev rom.
A simple solution to your problem is to extract the rom update and use a SD card together with XDAtools to flash your device to WM2003
Why does the RUU package I downloaded say it won't work on my device?
The software in the RUU package checks whether the type identifier in your Wallaby matches the one with the ROM image. So if your Wallaby claims to be a German O2 XDA, the English Qtek 1010 version of the OS will not install. Our tool adaptROM makes this problem go away. (See below)

I knew i'd seen it somewhere ! :lol:
Thanks maltloaf, I'll try out the XDAtools and see if that does the trick. I'll post my findings.

Hello i was wondering if the above ROM updates will work on my QTEK 1010:
ROM Version: 3.16.13 ENG
Radio Version: 3.19.01
I mean anyone tested if before or managed to upgrade his QTEK with the above ROM versions from O2 and were there any complications!!
:?: :?: :? :?: :?:
Thanks
Yes I did and it worked fine. I have it running on T-Mobile MDA, Qtek 1010 and Eurotel dataphone (rebranded Qtek). No problems.
I tried to upgrade and got the following error:

It has been answered a few times, look through fora. it's a general pocket pc language change question, but applies to this one too. You need to rewrite the ROM header to match your device. Can be sort of tricky if you don't know what you're doing.
Did you install it
I have the same qtek with 3.16 and 3.19 shall I do it or wait to uk version?
If you don't mind O2 startup screen & O2 autoconfig...
supplier or distributor

Hi,
My advise to you is to try to get the latest rom upgrade from
either your supplier or distributors.
Also be very wary and careful when you got advice from this
forum on where or which website to download etc especially the
one which you do not have any informations if it suit your device
or not. If it is not suitable then after downloading it to your device
it will freeze up and you have to get it replaced. These people who
give advise take for granted everyone who view this forum are
professional like them. They never realise there are lots of new
users of the device that are trying to find out more informations.
Sometimes no warning was given to you when they just give you
the website to download etc.. I am one of those new user and also
I believe one of the victims too. I do support their intetests in this
forum but not the way some of the advise are given. Hope they
got the message. So good luck to you and happy upgrading.
Why on earth would you want to go from 3.16/3.19 to 3.15/4.16? Makes no sense to me...

Thanks in advance for any help

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.

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

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

I just want WM2003 on my XDA. I tried installing 4.00.05 but got the white screen of death. Does anyone know if the Seimens SX56 ROM will work on my phone? I plan not to **** with the radio stack.
Just want a O/S that's newer and not as buggy as the original 3.21 that I had.
I miss my working XDA, it's been 2 long weeks and I finally get my MMC card back so I can flash.
Anyone in Australia got 4.00.05 working or WM2003? Which version you running if so?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
you didn't tell what's your device type and how the 4.00.05 failed.
I'm not sure the MMC can be used instead of SD card, but if yes, then i may advice you to cook a new 4.00.05 ROM at yorch.net and select the .nbf file method. move the file to your MMC card using the XDAtools and flash your xda through the boot loader.
good luck.
My device type was a:
PW10A
3.20.06 ENG (ROM)
3.21 (Radio)
But after trying to install with an EXE self installer became:
G32S54
4.00.05 (ROM)
R4.21.00 (Radio)
One thing I have worked out about the EXE self installers is that they will extract a NBF file to a directory, in C:\Program Files\Programme A\English
so therefore, whichever version you download in a self extracting file contains the NBF file that's required.

The Radio part shouldn't be affected by this upgrade!.
4.00.05 works just fine. The 4.01.00 and AT&T release ROM are even better (except for the stupid noise attenuation everyone's working to try and defeat).
Never(!) use the .exe method for upgrade, you have a much greater chance of it screwing your XDA. Also, according to your post you weren't messing with the radio, but by using the .exe upgrade you have inadvertantly upgraded the radio. 4.21 is the same version as O2 released for Australia, but I'm not quite sure if you're running the T-Mobile version now? As far as I know you can screw up upgrading your ROM as much as you like using the SD method because you can always whack the SD back in and start again, the bootloader is intact and the radio is intact.
I guess if you use the .exe update method from your manufacturer's release, at least you'll have some recourse in that you were only following what they said to do for the upgrade and they will probably fix it.
Use the SD upgrade method to fix your current problem, and you may need to use the Wallaby patch to do that. Good luck.
Best ROM for a QTek 1010 connected to Vodafone Australia

Use A.30.09, it's the only release version out there. All other versions are beta and have their problems. The only headache with A.30.09 is volume attenuation, but either soon we'll have a fix, or soon another manfucturer will make a release public so we can switch over (hopefully) without that annoyance.
Howdy,
Where can I get ROM A.30.09 from?

Howdy,
Another quick question. Which Radio Stack is the better one to use? The QTek 1010 Radio Stack v3.25.01 (32S54) or the O2 XDA Radio Stack v4.21 (32S54)?

Sorry for late reply. Dunno why nobody has replied to you yet.
I don't know if you can get a french version of ROM, but the one in English released by ATT for Siemens SX56 (A.30.09 ENG) works very good. I upgraded my Qtek 1010 from version 3.14 to wm2003 several versions cooked in Jeff's kitchen but I have so far found this to be the most stable and convenient. Not only that, many bugs in the earlier versions of wm2003 are fixed. (Multiple Reset Notification bug still exists but it can be handled by scarybear software available free at http://www.scarybearsoftware.com
You can get it if you follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5623&highlight=qtek+wm2003
I discovered that the Activesync method to flash this ROM does not work. The Program A just does not run. I used SD card method. It works.
The ATT release comes with ROM upgrade and Radio Upgrade files. If you are not having any problems with your present radio, never attempt to upgrade the Radio Stack. You can find enough dead devices if you browse through this forum.
Somewhere I read in this forum that the NK.NBF file can be extracted from the downloaded file, however I could not figure out how. I ran the application and quit before it started to flash the device. You can find the NK.NBF file in c:\Program Files\SX56 Upgrade*\...\english\ folder.
You can get the .nbf file out by just opening the .exe file with winzip. At least that's how I did it
Perhaps it can be done with winzip. I use Ultimate Zip and it does not allow it
i just change the extention from exe to zip and the file acts like any other zip file
