The only thing I need out of the ROMkitchen or the Special Edition ROM is the wireless modem. Is it possible that the program be carved out and made to work on my XDA I ROM 3.14.40 ENG (T-Mobile US official version)? This way, I wouldn't have to upgrade the ROM running any risk and fall off T-Mobile support.
If it is possible, could someone help carve it out for me to try? Seen attempts copying it from other 3.17 ROM versions without much success.
If it is not, could someone explain to me why?
Much appreciated!
No: the wireless modem app needs the appropriate RIL DLLs from the underlying OS to work. So you need an OS after 3.17.52 (I think) to get it to work.
Peter, plaese is possible changed ril.dll and/or rilgsm.dll from german 4.00.33 wm2003 rom's (has wireless modem) to eng A.30.09, for correctly workig wmodem.exe?

It's not available under any version 4.x ROM. Some of the older 3.x ROMs that are available in various kitchens may have it, as well as the Special Edition ROM, which was based on the O2 3.x ROM. Alas, the switch to WM2003 put the kibash on it. See this thread for more:

Got an idea....the newer 4.00.33 German ROM has WModem in it. This is WM2003, so could you take the files from this ROM and load them into an ENG version? I have no need for the WModem software, but maybe someone else can give this a shot and let everyone know.

And a great idea it is! 8)
Any updates on this?
Has any progress been made in pulling Wmodem forom the WM2003 German Rom? Can someone post a link to the Rom in question so I can take a swing at it? Does anyone know if it is even working on the German Rom or if they just included the same version from the WM2002 Roms assuming that it would work? Sorry for the flurry of questions, just very anxious to see if this works.
Ok here you go on the link:

HTH
HOW-DEE-DO-DEE.
HAS ANY ONE TAKEN OUT THE Wmodem PROGRAM, AND GOT IT TO WORK ON NON-GERMAN WM2003 ROM?
8)
I tried it but it didn't work
I flashed 4.00.33 (german rom) to my device, copied the wmodem.exe file to an sd card, then flashed my device with 4.01.00 (t-mobile english rom) and copied the wmodem.exe file from the sd card to the device. I connected my xda to my computer with a serial cable, opened the wmodem program on the device, chose serial connection and hit start. I then tried to connect on my computer but nothing happened (no connection, no error message on the xda). For the record I currently use wmodem with the xda developers special edition rom flashed onto my device so I know that my settings are correct.
I'm guessing but perhaps there's a driver file for the 2003 version of wmodem.exe. I could not find any other file in the german rom that looked like it was associated with wmodem. Perhaps someone can determine if there is a driver file needed for this version of wmodem to run. If so, we can extract it along with the wmodem.exe file from the german rom and try again.
what about just using the german rom ?
might be a stupid question, but is the WM2003 german, actually in german or english ?
will a german rom work with a usa t-mobile account ?
-Mario
yes it is in GERMAN :lol:
and it will work with TMO as long as u dont screw with a diferent country's RS
does this version of WModem use USB ?
iv seen some web pages about the new smart phones with wmodem on it that can use usb to connect
WModem
I have just updated my Siemens SX56 (AT&T US) with WM 2003. I downloaded a copy of wmodem from a URL in this form. I have tried both IRDA and Serial cable from Windows XP laptop with no luck.
I can get the computer to talk to the phone (icon flashes in wmodem) but it appears that the phone cannot reply (I have used hyper terminal too).
Has anyone gotten this to work? If so what wmodem version? Any suggestions on the command line parameters would be helpful.
Thanks,
Julian
What about the XDA II WModem?
What about getting a copy of the Wireless Modem program from an XDA II? I know O2 includes this, so surely someone here has a copy of it. Additionally, it has USB support!

New version of WModem
You guys probably already have this, but I found a new version of WModem (2.0.5.2). I can't get it to run on PPC2002, but it may work on WM2003. I believe it came from the XDA II. Let me know if you have any success. I've also included the USB Modem driver and dialer needed for USB connectivity. Good luck!

it is from a german 33 modem. can someone post a wmodem from an xda II together with a clean registry snap ?
thanks.
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
Howdy,
I have a QTek 1010 which I'm using in Australia on the Vodafone network. Which is the best ROM to upgrade my device to Pocket PC 2003?
Device: PW10A1
ROM version: 3.18.04 ENG
ROM date: 05/22/03
Radio version: 3.25.01
Protocl version: 32S54
Cheers,
CK

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?

Thanks heaps for that! The upgrade worked perfect.
You were right about the volume issue becoming annoying! :twisted:
Which Radio Stack is the best to use in Australia?
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)?
Have been to the kitchen and done some cooking the last night.
Facts:Using SD card for all upgrades
Never cook anything but the Base ROM itself (e.g. no extras)
The upgrade works perfect every time, meaning it ends successfully so that I can do a cold boot to start the "new" ROM image.
ROM version org: 3.16
Current ROM: 3.20.06 ENG
Radio version: 3.19.01
Protocol version: 32S54
Model No: PW10A1
RAM: 32MB
Flash size: 32MB
SD Card size: 64MB
I have been able to switch back and forth between different 2002 ROM's
but every time I upgrade to 2003 ROM the unit hangs on the introductions screen. I see the splash for instans 4.01.19: s "Welcome to T-Mobile"
In the bottom right corner I can see the Protocol version, ROM version and Radio version numbers. BUT there it is and it does not respond to any buttons or even magic words like pretty please with suger on top.
I have tried the following versions:
4.00.33 GER, 4.01.00 ENG, 4.01.16 ENG and A.30.09 ENG
I have no problem getting back to a working unit with almost any 2002 ROM but hey I wanna try it out with a 2003 ROM.
Any ideas anyone? I have been looking around quit a bit but cant see that anyone posted something that helps me out here.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this great forum!

not sure but maybe the 32MB ram is too little for 2003
these devices are pretty rare i think
maybe you should try doing a search for people with 32MB devices
and their exp with 2003 ?

The 32 MB shouldn't be the problem. Using myself a device with only 32 MB without any problems with WM2003 .....
Maybe it's a problem with the Radio Stack...
Nearly all the providers of a WM2003 Release included a Radio Stack Update. Myself i've tested it with the 4.21 and the 3.23. Maybe yours 3.19. is just too old.....
Stefan
Ok, here we go again,
found the Radio Stack Upgrade from O2 uk (V421)
and upgraded witout problem to this one.
No I tried to upgrade with 2003 ROM 4.01.16 ENG but still same thing.
It hangs on boot screen even though it now in the lower right corner says:
G32S54
R4.21.00
4.01.16
I will try to load ROM A.30.09 ENG now.
I let you know how it goes.
/Jonas
Still no luck
Ok I have now tried will all known 2003 ROMs from the kitchen with the same sad result. (hang on boot screen as before)
I now downloaded the official O2 uk release of upgrade for XDAII (Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050.exe) when I unpack this one I find the following files that might be useful ms_.nbf, NK.nbf, Radio_.nbf.
When I try to write the NK.nbf to my SD card XDATools tells me that it does not recognize the file format.
I think I have seen something about this error but I cant find it now.
Im not even sure if this ROM will work. I can not see that this ROM is uploaded in the kitchen either but perhaps it will be?
So Im still stuck so any tips would be great and I keep testing new ways ahead.
/Jonas
hi. as LumpiStefan commended, you need to upgrade the latest radio stack. I think the radio stack 6.24 will work for you. check my posted for the radio stack.
Secondly, the radio stack will work it its specific OS rom image. for example, the radio stack for Tmoble , must match the Tmobile OS. you can not use radio stack built for O2 for Tmobile OS.
Therefore, try to upgrade with matching OS and its Radio Stack. I tried one night with all OS from Tmobile, ATT and OS to come with these solutions.

That´s wrong. 6.24 is for PW10B Models with 900/1900 MHz GSM. Do not use it on your device

That´s wrong too. Already used some T-Mobile ROMS with O2 Radiostack....
Stefan
hi LumpiStefan,
Okay. I am wrong. this radio stack use in USA.
Also, I don't know but I had tried to swap the radio stack O2 to run on Tmobile or ATT, the radio stack never turn On.
Also can you help me to have a radio stack version 4.20 or lower. ther repair.zip contain version 4.21. Thanks for correcting me.
I'm hearing the T-MO US MDA is faster and more stable, better radio. Any input is appreciated. Also, what are the...
ROM Version
ROM Date
Radio Version
Protocal Version
ExtROM Version
...and lastly, anyone do a dump of this yet?
Thanks
Yep. I dumped it to SD and also via the wixard that is posted here.
My only big complaint is no Java, and I've been completely unsuccessful in fixing it. What we need is someone to extract the Java from one of the other BASE loads (like the Qtek or Cingular one) - that should be possible but I don't know how its done.
Has anyone managed to successfully upgrade or change rom?
If yes, what rom did you start from and what steps for the upgrade/transition?
This will be useful information for all.
THanks,
I'd like to know the same thing. My Orbit came loaded with TMo MDA Compact III ROM instead of O2 ROM. Needless to say I'm a bit peeved. The vendor is trying to fix but I really need the UK or WWE English ROM for O2. Has anyone dumped this ROM?
well,
on the wiki you will find the tmobile uk wwe rom. this is flashable if your machine is cid unlocked-in case it is not(standard) you will get kicked out off the installation by a comment named "wrong ID model" at about 3% of the running routine.
to unlock cid and flash the named rom, afaik the only way is to pay imeicheck.co.uk.
afaik there is no other vendour rom available yet, meaning no chance to fully switch to e.g. O2 etc.
alternatively you can exit the installation prior to extrom installation via a softreset at the 3second count. this not installing your provider cabs, you can then download the various available extrom cabs from the wiki and install them manually by copy and double-tap on your device.
Thormdac,
This is helpful info. Can you help me with this question: I have a greek htc p3300 rom but I would be happy to have the English version. Should I simply prevent ext rom from installing or do I need to change rom? If I need to change rom will I be able to do so or could it be locked to the Greek rom?
Thanks,
dear apap,
language is purely locked to the rom version and has simply nothing whatsover to do with the extrom version cabs you install!!!
in order to change language to english then you have to use a rom stating...."wwe" somewhere in its declaration.wwe=worldwideenglish.
now your machine "htc p3300" is with wireless lan, right? afaik, the tmouk rom has not implemented wlan on my german hero(without wlan!). the community here still isnt sure where the wlan comes from, the chip or the rom. so if i remember correctly and the tmouk rom not having wlan support, but your machine needing it, then once u unlocked cid and install the tmouk rom should end you up not having a functional wlan! in case we suppose wrongly...you are the guinnea-pig...you should have wlan. confusing? well i simply dont know off by heart any more about the uk machines having or not having wlan.
greetz
Helpful once again Thermdoc,
The Greek version does have wlan so I will wait to see if somenoe manages to find a wwe rom that is wlan enabled before experimenting.
cheers, apap
