Hi,
With my default configuration XDA (I have an XDA from Rogers, with I guess the same default configuration as the AT&T version), it was hard for me to maintain a conversation in my appartment if I was not just beside a window, and even then, my correspondants were complaining about interruption in the communication .
This winter I installed the Special Edition Rom available from this forum and noticed instantaneously a better radio reception. I can walk around everywhere and the sound was neat and clear everywhere .
At the beginning of February I installed PPC2003. I would like to keep with PPC2003 specially because of the Voice Command I installed and, even if I have to speak in a funny way (I'm French-Canadian and I have to pronounce French names with an american accent) I found it useful in the car. But the counterpart is that now the communication level is back where it was with the original configuration :? .
So my question is: can I install the Radio Stack from the Special Edition ROM with the PPC2003 ? If yes, how ?
Thank you !
Bernard
I dont think the special edition rom included radio stack upgrade. I may be wrong.

Could it then be the default configurations proposed by the Rom ? When I installed it, my provider was not in the list of the proposed providers for the auto-config. I do not remember which one I used, but as I stated in the previous e-mail, the result was terrific !
I am not really aware how this stack is working or can be configured. If you have suggestions of things to try, or places to look for, I'll appreciate !
Bernard
As the previous poster said, there is no radio stack with the developers rom, why dont you reinstall the developers rom, take a note of all the settings, then install WM2003 and reinstate those settings to WM2003. I once tried saving my setting in the permanent save options using the developer rom, but when I installed WM2003 there was no option to restore it.

Ok, I'll do it. Just a dummy question: where do I look for this kind of information ? Through the bootloader ? How do I see it ?
Thanks for your help

Radio version
:arrow: I am on T-Mobil USA and I did upgrade to AT&T 2003 .
I did not installed Radio version from AT&T . I had 6.21.00 .
After that (shame on me) I installed Radio 6.24.00 . I lost my GPRS .
I can use only internet2.voicestream.com and wap.voicestream.com ,
which is just a WAP versions . I cannot use my MS Messenger and
is the biggest problem , couse I have business on eBay . So ...
I took the AT&T upgrade , reeped off the the radio stuck A.33.02
(4 files) and install them on device .After that I am having much much better signal , but still I have no HTML version or HTML Radio , whatever you call that . My MS Messenger is DEAD . So what is your suggestion :
Keep looking for the Radio 6.24.01 , which I cannot find standalone
version . Or return to 6.21.00 (if you know where , please give me the link to download ) :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Any source for downloading ? even if it is only a ROM-image :wink:
Pls send mi address as well...
I already posted in another thread, please note:
The image can be downloaded on the first site...
however, I have just reflashed my XDA/MDA with the older irish ROM, it has plenty more features than this one, GPRS standby and ISDN call type.
Don't trust the version numbers

Well thanks for ur enlightenment but this is a newer version for the Qtek and is newer than the version delivered on the 64MB version...No one said that it is the BEST for a XDA\MDA ! thats why it was on a Qtek support page! so I dont know what you mean with Version Numbers ?
I wanted to say that although it is the newer and the most recent version I've seen, it is way "older" in the mean of capabilities That's why I said not to trust version numbers. The Irish (3.15.15) ROM is way "newer"
Btw I didn't want to confuse you, it's just that who would want to apply this update if there was a better one? So I report this one is not worth updating.
P.S. I have mistaken Dutch ROM for Irish, just keep looking for 3.15.15

Simple I dont need the ISDN profile cause i use GPRS and not Dial up ...there are other enhancements which this brings...like I am trying to say one mans food is anothers .....reading your comments you are ASSUMING that your way is the right way..
It's just it's absolutely pointless for an average for-rom-update-looking-xda-user to download and try this ROM. Is that so hard to understand? I believe not

Hi All
I am new to this forum and wanted to upgrade my Asian XDA to WM2003. I try to download the rom in Yorch.net but it doesnt seem to work at all. However i did find this T-mobile ROM Windows Mobile 2003
upgrade 4.00.21. Does this version work for Singapore Singtel Network? Or am i missing something here? I have read most of the forum here and is still quite confused. Can anyone here give a step by step guide on how to upgrade to WM2003 (which version) for ASIAN (especially Singapore) XDA? Pls share your experience.
hi rchtan
If you have not done so yet get the latest official upgrade for yr region and flash the radio this will give you "always on connection" and better stability.
Record all yr network settings as you will need to enter again after.
For WM2k3 Just get the 4.00.05 rom forget the higher numbers as its just the telco adjusting for their particular network and likely to cause more instability if you are not on Tmobile.
Get the installer EXE version and just click on it to install from yr desk top.
Make sure you are connected to activesync and switch off yr radio in case of incoming calls. You can add the extra progs avoiding the ppc2002 marked, forget the imov messanger(Jeff's never worked) you can get a working version fm their web site.
Hope this helps.
Hi alqwerty
Thanks for your reply. Another question which might seem stupid. How do we cook a ROM? I went to this link http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php and if i left the "Add software and modify ROM" as click, there a big red warning sign "OVERLOAD"??!! Is it okay if i just download the base rom?
Hi rchtan
Start with clicking on 4.00.05 ENG ppc2003.
Then move from top to bottom clicking on what progs you need and unclicking those that you dont want(especially unclick all the ppc2002 marked ones). until the overload sign goes away. Then click on
installer EXE then click on build rom now. When its
cooked download the rom. Good luck
ok fellas ...
i went from :
rom version: 3.17.03 ENG
rom date: 5/15/03
radio version : 4.17
to the upgrade :
rom version: 4.00.16 ENG T-Mobile US
rom date: 7/10/03
radio version : 4.17.00
courtesy of www.yorch.net
however the phone still can not pick up a signal ..
with upgrade i have not been able to switch GSM band from 900/1800 to 900 or 1900 successfully through the wallaby bootloader (after changes are made i can not get out of bootloader without doing a hard reset) also note the xda developers band switch tool is also present but reads error
also note
before the upgrade
my device model no. PW10A1
after upgrade
my device model no. PW10B1
not sure if im getting any closer to the solution but im still happy at this point i havent burned up the unit ...
perhaps it is still an issue of the radio version 4.17.00 (which is the only thing i havent fooled with yet)
any thoughts on trying the radio upgrades from www.yorch.net (under upgrades) ??
if this doesnt kill me it will surely make me stronger ... i will throw a party with beer for everyone if we can get this turkey running !!
thanks again folks !
Have you tried removing sim card prior to gsm switch in bootloader then reinserting after reboot?.
yes i have tried that as well ...
still no luck :?

I had a similar problem on one of the units I have. It ended up that I had to redo the radio to get it working again. The radio from yorch's should be fine.

Your "mission"
Your mission should be to practise with the search buttom associated with the Upgrading It forum, at top of page next to FAQ button, to find what you're looking for!
thanks for the mission co ordinates .. but i have actually tried the search option believe it or not ... before i posted ... also have tried the link via the ftp that was suggested .. just cant seem to located it ...

Hey eurowerks you need to use a program like CuteFTP or WS_FTP LE

i am now running ..
rom : 4.01.00 eng
rom date : 10/27/03
radio version : 6.24.01
still no luck with it picking up a signal for the phone ... i have removed the sim ... and even switched between 900 and 1900 and still cant get a signal ...
any ideas? anyone ... please :?
It might be your SIM card so try it in another phone and see if it works.
If so try upgrading to the AT&T Radio stack its what I use.
HTH
i really cant believe it is the sim as it works fine in my other phone .. so i tried to do the radio uprade ...
from 6.24.01
to a.20.10
i was a bit skeptical as it is an at&t stack and i am using t mobile usa ..
dloaded it from yorch ... opened it in the windows directory of the xda as they say ... and it says something like upgrade failed.. press ok to restart
:?
says to be sure the path is correct and none of the files are missing ... perhaps there is something i am missing ...
also wondering how dangerous this radio upgrade is ... been reading some horror stories about others that have ruined their devices trying the upgrades .. but after all this is the 3rd rom ive installed so i figured what could a radio upgrade hurt ... anyways .. still no luck ..

Confirming you copied all of the below files to your Windows root folder
RSUpgrade.exe
RSUpgrade.cp64
monitor_ul_bs.map
monitor_ul_bs.m0
and the upgrade still failed with a be sure path is correct and none of the files are missing? BTW your old radio stack is still in tact since it failed in
this way. Just remove any leftover upgrade links from your Startup folder.
How dangerous is upgrading the radio stack you ask? Its the most dangerous upgrade you can do in my book and should be only do as a last resort in getting your phone to work.
Also I can understand why you're skeptical as to it being an AT&T radio stack, most are but its the most powerful radio stack to date in my book and I've used them all (US that is). Your device must really be in bad shape to knock it down! :shock:
BTW what part of the US are you located?
HTH
Confirming you copied all of the below files to your Windows root folder
RSUpgrade.exe

yes the above files were all copied to the windows folder of the xda .. not too sure about what u mean by root folder ... but they were opened within the windows folder ... :?
i did remove the files after it failed .. perhaps i should just be happy the pda works and it powers on ... :lol:
anyways im here on the east coast (nyc) .. lemme know if anyone comes up with anything else ... also wondering ... has anyone tried the upgrade from the siemens web site ?? i think it is something like A.20.17 .. im assuming it is a radio upgrade as well ?
question re. radio upgrades ..
is performing the upgrade by opening the exe file on the device standing alone the risky part? :? since upgrading the rom also has the radio upgrade within it and it is done while connected to the pc on the cradle with activsync perhaps that makes it safer ... ??

The A.20.17 upgrade contains both ROM and radio stack upgrade. The ROM is AT&T's most current Pocket PC 2002 update.
As far as the radio stack failure goes it can happen either way but its best not to have your device connected to the PC while doing it though!
HTH
Hey guys ...
The point is what is the actual type of the device A or B. Forget what's is shown in the device info as it can ve changed buy a wrong ROM or RSU upgrade. Refer to the device sticker in the device back side. If the device is A type then it's only 900 or 900/1800 type ... don't ever try to switch to any 1900 option as it may ruin the Radio part. If it's B then you can select the 1900 if your network supports this band. Don't forget also to switch it in the phone settings since now you have 4.01.00.
As Peter Poelman said, try to select the right band from the bootloader and soft reset more than once. Usually it takes many trials.
Good luck ...
can someone plz tell me how to upgrade my xda1 to wm2003?
i´d like to know if there´s a german version available...
thanks in advance
about a german version i have no clue
about how to update it

Hello,
i am also interested in upgrading my 64Mb XDA I to 2003 Version.
Nalye: How does the Upgrade worked? Do you have any problem in using or installing? Do you have any problems using the upgraded device with german O2? How about the Home-Zone Display and whole stability?
Thanks in advance!
Miwu
a cellphone company depend on the radiostack they dont know if you connect from a nokia phone or a xda with what ever rom
as long as you set it up right
@rudegar
Thanks for answering. German o2 uses a special application with the XDA, called "Home Zone Status", whats implemented in the original ROM provided by O2. With this application you get a special sign at the top of the screen if your device is in an defined area called HomeZone. The data used by this application must be provided by the gsm-part of the device, but i think, that the T-Mobile-Rom does not support the transfer of this informations because german T-Mobile does not provide this feature.
Does anyone experienced any solution for this problem?
homezone
i dn´t know ´bout a special program for displaying the hz-status, but i´m about to call o2 for an application to fix it.
the rom i cooked works well, but as you know every data got lost (about 350 sms or so) :x
try to cook it at www.yorch.net - coz stefan´s kitchen seems to be a lil´bit slow :wink:
hth
nalye
I have just got my xda back from being fixed by O2 and they seem to have upgraded my rom.
Before I sent the xda to them the rom was simply the latest ppc2002 rom from their website.
However now everything has changed and my rom version is 4.01.12 ENG
This seems to be an official release form O2 as I have their auto configuration and boot screen.
My bootloader has also been upgraded to V5.22.
I have backed up the rom using XDATools and hope to upload it to the site although its approx 31mb.
This seems to be all official and what everyone has been waiting for however if i've completly missed the point please let me know (politely please )
As an added note I have two broken xda's for sale: -
1) A 64mb XDA with the above rom installed. The screen is smashed, and will need replacing, or you could just use the motherboard in another xda. The unit does not charge for some reason, possibly the fuse which is a simple enough fix.
2) A 32mb XDA with the above rom installed. The screen is intact, however will most of the time it will only display lines, you can get a screen sometimes but this is very rare. It must be possible to fix this, but its way beyond me. Again the motherboard has been tested in my other xda.
Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to make me a serious offer.
Thanks
Martin.
So how do the rest of us get it. Do we have to send our XDA's back to O2?
So did you uploaded the ROM yet? can you provide us a link? thanks

Don't forget the main question. Does this version incluudes the wmodem application????
Already wrote him a PM for getting this ROM. My Kitchen is waiting for it....

i WAS starting to think that this guy is telling the truth but no sign so far... damn, all that excitement for nothing

thanks for the file, sorry bout my doubt but it took so long.. so anyone tried this yet? does it work with asian XDA1? im still downloading it. it will take some time for me coz im using dial up thanks.
::adit
great !
it IS real :shock: thanks Martin
how on earth we only found out right now ?
any insiders ? is it gonna be official or it's an old tryout from O2 ?
It HAS wmodem but I connect through Irda (i have no serial on my notebook).
Can someone try and confirm that it works on Irda on Windows XP
Steps for using wmodem:
1. install ircomm2k from http://www.ircomm2k.de/english
2. add a new modem (manual selection Standard 32600 bps) on the new com installed by ircomm2k
3. add to AT commands AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn","",0,0
4. create a new DUN with the number at *99#
5. use if there is any username/password
Mine works fine but I cannot connect. It does communicate and ends on "verifying password" step.
Any help ?
thats great!! thanks very much martin,what about the auto config? does it show any asian provider? such as thailand AIS, DTAC or indonesian indosat, telkomsel, etc? thanks in advance...

Normally this should happen Automaticly, since the CallerID.CAB fiel is int eh startup directory....
But it's a nice trick to get it working...
[edit]
Soory, forgotten to mention, that this ROM is now available in the Kitchen. I also tried to get the Autoconfigration working. Cooking went fine, but i didn't have the possibility to test it.
So fell free and test this ROM with Autoconfiguration......
Check http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org

great !!!!
i test it in this afternoon it have a bug in this rom .... may be A30.09 much more better thx for kindly
martinbickley
ps. i check in rom update O2. it have 3.17.03 only where is 4.01.12 come from ? ....
Whats wrong?
Hi, i just installed the ROM and now it works perfectly well, caller ID installs automatically at the startup when the welcome screen appear after the upgrade? XDAMAN, what was the problem? i am using DTAC provider (okay, theres no autoconfig so i had to set up everything manually) everything works perfectly well? i feel its a lot more faster than other ROMs i tried (Siemens ROM, T-Mobile, betas, etc) the best ROM i've ever used!thanks again martin
