There's something about these Radio Stack Upgrades that's not right. We see many messages a week from people upgrading their Radios and being left with non-functional units. We advise against upgrading the Radio Stack unless you're upgrading with a version that's fixing some known issue that is affecting you. In other words: if your GSM works, we presently advise against fixing it.
If i run the exe that has beed kindly created is there any chance of screwing up my device again!...

The OS ROM on the other hand is much harder to screw up (although we managed, but only once, and for reasons of our own stupidity). You should be safe running Jeff's exe, and you'll be happy afterwards...

It seems to me that there are more than a few who have made the GSM rom upgrade oops. Someone should be kind and make a dump of their GSM for us foolish saps who made that poor call and found this information afterwords. I have found ways to bypass the GSM startup if you get stuck in the never ending "Updating Rom" and "Error, unable to update" horror!

Ok, figured out my own solution to this problem, without needing to send it in to T-Mobile! :mrgreen:
1) Here is what you do, you go to ATT's site and download their upgrade for their SX56.
(if you have an ATT XDA already you can skip this step)
2) run the up date than let it error out saying you don't have the right rom version or what ever.
3) Go into your "Program Files" directory and than "SX56 upgrade utility" directory.
4) Copy "adaptRom.exe" and "Start.bat" from the "XDA-developers-SER-v11.exe" file into this directory and run start
5) Run "upgrade.exe" now and it should install fine and install an american GSM and ATT's OS.
Works great I must admit!
Note: If you want to keep T-Mobile's OS, get "XDArit.exe" and back up the CE os as they instruct on their page for it. Than after you've done the above installation, simply copy the OS back over.

Re: GSM Rom upgrade OOPS!
I've got all the files you mention, and am ready to change my T-Mobile PPCPE to an ATT device. I've already cancelled T-Mobile service, and signed up with ATT, so I have a working ATT SIM card. During the procedure you outline, do I just leave the SIM card out, then after upgrade is finished, install ATT SIM card? just checking - Thanks in advance.

Always on line for xda 1??

Any body knows for xda 1, you can keep checking new mail arrival through GPRS?
I heard people using xda 2 can do that. But is there any chance xda 1 can do the same thing?
Actually, when u do the setting for POP account, it ask u to set how many minutes to check for new messages. But it never work because the GPRS will close automatically.
Thanks very much. :?

Sure it can be done!
Take a look at:
http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgrade/0,,170,00.html
BTW the above is one of many!
also where are you located?
HTH

I am using the most updated PPC2002 version already. (3.20.06 ROM and 4.21 Radio)
Do u mean I have to upgrade to PPC2003?
I doubt that because they are not very stable for me to use in Hong Kong so far from other guy's comments in this website.
Thanks very much.

Since you're already running the latest upgrade its suppose to work but since it doesn't I would have to say that your always-on settings are at fault. So go to Start, Settings, Connections and make sure that its set to not disconnect.
HTH

Are you sure that it is also for xda1 ?
I can't locate that "not disconnect" setting.
Please clarify.
Thanks so much.

It should say some thing like this:
GPRS connection to remain active once the device enters power save mode.
At least it does on the PPC 2002 latest AT&T ROM and the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2. (which is bases on the O2 3.17.03 ROM).
HTH

That's really strange for my O2 xda!
I only found a setting called GPRS Suspend Mode setting.
It said,
When you are in power-saving mode, do you want to:
- Keep GPRS connection
- End GPRS connection
I clicked on the first one.
Then I close it, and connect to GPRS.
Just for a while, the connection ends by itself.
Any thought?
Thanks a lot again.

Yeap thats the correct setting and the same one I'm speaking of!
I read a lot of bad reports about the 4.21 radio stack so it might be at fault.
Maybe you should think about upgrading to the Qtec radio stack, heard nothing but good reports on that one.
The Qtek 1010 Radio Stack Upgrade can be found at:
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
BTW read the WARNING.
BTW do you have a URL for that newer o2 ROM, I'd like to install it and see if it does the same for me/
HTH

Here it is.
http://www.myxda.com/web/template/SoftwareUpgradeIntroduction.vm
BTW, I am a bit nervous to install the radio file cause I have bad experience that almost kill my phone.
Is it really okay just to install the radio file?

Like I said I've heard nothing but good reports on upgrading to this radio
stack (no failed upgrades have been reported but as with any upgrade there is always a possibility). :wink:
BTW thanks for the link!

Have u tried to update that ROM?
Is there the same problem?

Unable to download, it kept asking for a IMEI.
You wouldn't happen to have the direct download link would you?

Oh! I didn't realize that...sorry.
I am still a bit nervous for upgrading (or is it actually downgrading) to the i-mat ROM.
If it is downgrading, I will definitely not try that...

Hi Qman,
I just notice that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM.
Also they have the 4.00.21 ROM (pre-release T-Mobile version). Is it for the US market only?
Chris

hi; Are you sure that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM??? Can't find it. I have downgraded my XDA yesterday from the kitchen wm2003 because of bugs to kitchen 2002 but it says 3.17.03 and not the one you mention???!!!

Hey,
That's not from the "kitchen". It's from the "upgrade" just under "kitchen". Check it out again and you will find it.
Anybody knows that 4.00.21 is good for o2 xda?
Chris

hmmm, currently I am using it
so far so good but there is one major BUT for me - most possibly that version makes wipe out my 256MB SD card every up to 48 hours
for me it is a major .... item
regards,
monika

That's terrible. What about the GPRS and phone reception?
To be honest, I won't use it if it will wipe off the sd contents every 2 days.
Have you tried to burn again?

so far GPRS is not working ....
but that is due local GSM provider that has some complicates setup as to make GPRS to work, phone recption is ok ... I am living in area where virtually all GSM phones had reception problems (i.e. majority of nokia phones), although in a city center it is perfect ....
just for you to know ... I have received a link from one of the group members for the most recent update - look there for details :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4556&highlight=4+01+00
regards, monika

Thanks very much for your reply.
But I think that Upgrade exe file is for US only cause that include the radio upgrade as well.
So, are you able to downgrade your 4.00.21 easily?
I am not sure whether its worth to downgrade your device to 3.20.06 to see whether its a real problem with SD card. And to upgrade it to 4.00.21 again to verify it. It may happen only at some occasion as you know electronic device can never guarrentee functioning 100%.
Hope you can fix your device.
Cheers

New Kitchen online....

Hello XDA-Users.
Now i´ve got my new internet connection and i think it´s time to share it with you. I set up a ROMkitchen for the good old XDA I.
It might me an alternative to the kitchen of Yorch.
In the moment i would say my kitchen is not perfect, but who is perfect?
The workspaces are limited, since i´m only using an good old PII with 266Mhz and 64MB RAM. Maybe in the future i will upgrade it.
Also there is a limitation in "Opening Hours". It will be available from Mo. - Fr, 8pm - 8am and all of the weekend. Timezone is Europe / Berlin.
If you´re out of time you will see it soon, with an different layout.....
If there are problems, hints, or wishes concernign the kitchen, please write me an PM.
The Link to the Kitchen is:
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
Hope it will work allt he time....
Stefan
PS: Who wants me to add some software or maybe will donate me some better hardware can contact me via Email [email protected]

Thank you, but where can I find a french rom ?

THis is cool alternative to Yorch site
Which ROM is the original AT&T WM2003 (i.e. not BETA/ Test version)?
Are the software such as Omegaone BatteryPack , Spb softwares etc. etc. demo version or already registered?
thanks

is it just me or does this thing take along time to make a rom ive tried 2 times waited like 10 min but nothing still says making rom....

That´s what i meant with poor Hardware.
Just in teh moment i´ve got:
Load Averages 3.66 3.81 3.03
I think it will be better using an faster processor and more RAM.
If anyone have better hardware and a fine Internetconnection, I will help to transfer this Kitchen to him.
I preffer an Debian Linux to install it....

no worries working now downloading as i speak lol crappy 56k modem i blame lol :roll:

wow how did u manage to fit Voice Command and Calligrapher in there,, not sure if they work as i an still cooking mine (as i type) but when i chech/uncheck the s/w it does not affect the rom usage???
tagenda !! excellent today plugin plz try to add it if possible is a freeware
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/tagenda.shtml
also total commander (excellent file browser) http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/totalcommander.shtml

If those file sizes are correct they wont fit into the available space, I have chosen the voice command and the available space stays the same, it will be interesting to see what kind of it produces. Regarding the tomtom, how will the reg code work if its in rom, and also how will it be affected when updates from tomtom have to be applied.

built my rom and 100% totally happy with it cheers LumpiStefan for allowing me to make one
one program the kitchen could really do with....
Button plus v2.0 from yorchs site in thedownlaods section
i dont think voice commands or the vb files will fit into the rom
also no point in putting tomtom gps in as when you come to update it you wont be able to meaning a new rom will have to be cooked without this in
cant get connect 4 or snake to work even with the runtime file things they just dont load up
but great work man keep it up

If you want to add software that requires a key, you have to add the complete "group" firts. if you don`t select "add Software that needs to register" the sotware won´t be added, and because of this, the required space won´t change....

Hi, can you describe which rom works with O2/europe T-mobile and which rom is for USA market?
thx

Hi,
I just cooked my own rom, and added GPRS-Monitor and Pocketplus. Pocketplus is installed correctly, including the today-plugin, GPRS-Monitor works, but without the today-plugin. Is there anybody out who can tell me how to get the plugin?
Bye, Dennis.

!!!OFFICIAL T-MOBILE WM2003 UPDATE!!!

http://www.t-mobile.com/products/overview.asp?phoneid=166765&class=pda
They took the link down from the front page, but if you go here and do the sytem upgrade its dated for 3/10/2004.
Edit: Oh and the version number is 4.01.16

Wonderful .... pulling it down as I write this....
I needed something to do tonight anyway...
-JB

this is the BEST post i've seen this year!!!
they realy should call it 2004 though, dont you think? lol
downloading now, will comment on it later.

Damn, has someone got a number we can enter into the box for D/L?

Oh, nevermind, nobody post their personal phone number or friend's phone numbers... there's an easy way :twisted: .
T-Mobile has an email service attached to their customer's mobile phone numbers, so it's [email protected]. So all you need to do is search google for @tmomail.net and you will find a lucky customer who has revealed their legit mobile phone number for your use .

Great - I've started to spread the word:

So, if I don't have an SD card and want to upgrade, will this work via ActiveSync?
My BootLoader is v6.22 and it seems that even with a borrowed SD card I cannot transfer any cooked (or original) ROM images after putting this 4.01.00 ENG T-Mobile ROM over the original - apparently I have to downgrade the BootLoader or something.
Does anyone know if this will work via ActiveSync with my BootLoader and current ROM version?
Thanks...

I've got it up and running, all seems fine. Yay for no more attenuated volume that we had with ATT .

Please read the following thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3274
You need the Wallaby bootloader patch, or (more dangerously) downgrade to wallaby 5.15. I did the downgrade which makes life easier, but it's up to you.

The $64,000 question - does this version have wireless modem?

The thread you point to says "For users with Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 version" - does this mean that you followed these instructions with a 6.22 BootLoader and it worked? If so, I'll grab another SD card and try again.

I believe it works the same for 6.22, but sorry I cannot be certain. I'm sure I've read somewhere where people have done it.

Thanks for the information - I'll keep digging around and see what I can find out. If I make any discoveries I'll post them in the forum, as I'm guessing there are many users out there in the same boat.

AT& Wireless WM2003 Upgrade

Ok so bear with me here. I am very new to this stuff (1 week). I just bought a used Siemens SX56 for AT&T Wireless from a friend of mine. I inserted my SIM, Syncronized my Outlook and things are GREAT! I love this thing. But...I'm greedy. I want more. I want to upgrade to WM2003. Based on what I have read there are a few features that would make this baby even nicer. The problem is the following:
1) I don't know where to get the upgrade. Siemens no longer posts it on their Website and niether does AT&T. I have read some really advanced stuff on some of the other topic areas regarding loading the Rogers version but I'm not sure how to do this and I don't want to mess this thing up. Does anyone know where I can find the AT&T version of WM2003 for my Siemens?
2) Is it really worth the upgrade? I have seen some complaints from people saying that the wish they hadn't upgraded because it not a stable. Or that the installation went bad and messed up the ROM.
3) Is the Siemens/ATT version of the WM2003 actually the right way to go or is there a better version?
Sorry for the really dumb questions but like I said I'm a newbie.
Thanks,
J

Ok, I found it! this is the original Siemens/AT&T WM2003 upgrade. http://www.wireheadtechnologies.com/sx56/sx56_wm2003_update.exe
I ran this last night and it works like a charm. Be sure to have Activesync 3.7.1 and remove SD card. Took about 10 minutes.
good luck!

does your SD card erase after awhile

:lol: I was looking for this upgrade for two days until I found this site. Thank you for not using the link straight from the Siemens website and thanks for the file.

I've been using WM2003 which I cooked in Lumpstefan's kitchen for about 3 weeks with NO problems. (A.30.09)
I also flashed the RSU with the newest AT&T RSU ROM Ver A.20.10 from
Yorch: www.yorch.net > upgrades.
The only thing I don't like is the RUU from Lumpistefans comes with an add-on program "Pocket NAV". It causes the operating system to freeze, requiring numerous reboots. I shut down Pocket NAV, and no more freezing.
Have fun,
Carey

Light at the end of tunnel?
Hello,
I am really frustrated, I would greatly appreciate any help-
I just finished reading Carey's post about the RSU upgrade to A20.10 from Yorch's website. I have a sx56 (USA-MN) and in areas of low signal, the signal is lost and the phone will not reaquire signal until a soft-reset. The phone has the following config:
Upgraded toWM2003
R33.02
A30.09
l'm not asking for a guarantee, but do you think that Yorch's RSU download (A20.10) might work for this phone. Yorchi's site mentions unzipping the files from A20.10 into the \windows folder then running the RSUpgrade.exe. Does this mean unzip the files to a desktop PC then copying them into the \windows directory on the sx56?
If i've got the method wrong, do you have a link that you can direct me to regarding the method of installation?
Thank you for any help!!

I am wondering about the same thing . MY sx56 drops signal all the time in my apt and I am hoping the new RSU will help the sx56 latch on and hold on to the signal better.. oh well.. if someone has tried it please share your experience...
