WM2003 Service Pack 2 - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Ok, how will this work? (for the xda mainly)
Will individual networks release new roms for specific devices?
Or will you be able to download an upgrade patch from microsoft for any wm2003 device?
I havent got a clue so forgive my stupidity.

Care to share? thats what the forums are for
this is a fake
Hi !
This seems like a fake to me...
The screenshots are all from PPC2002!!!
The GPRS symbol is the old one.
Jabba
No, it's a genuine document but using screenshots from PPC2002 as these are incidental to the installation process.
The Xda PPC2003 build is only available to selected O2 developers under NDA.

So, believe me, it is the wrong File. This is Pocket PC 2002
It is version3.17.03 ENG from the 15.05.2003
It works here on my xda fine, but itś no Pocket PC 2003...

I've just downloaded a ROM (version 3.18) for the DOPOD device (Same as XDA). On the website which seems to be in chinese or some asian language it suggests that version 3.18 is the pocket pc 2003 version. Pictures on the site seem to back this up. The screen shots shows that the ROM seems to have english support. Anyway the problem is that the ROM is in NB1 format. I don't have a SD Card so can not convert to NBF. If anyone is able to tell me any other way to convert to an exe so that I can upload it to my XDA it would be much appreciated.
if people want to have a look at the site the address is:
http://52xda.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=13&ID=3810
you may need to login which will mean registering with the site... just mean decypehering a bit of the chinese.
if you can't get to the above address, the downlaods for the ROM which are packed as WINRAR files are as follows:

use of xda in New Zealand

Hi
I have just moved to New Zealand. In Germany I enjoyed the xda very much... but here... I have the unlock problem + some others...
I bought the the xda approx. a year ago. Now my questions:
1. Can anyone tell me what to do after another with the version I (probably ) have, in order to unlock the xda?
2. What do I have to configure that I can use the xda here in New Zealand with its existing GPRS network?
Thank you all for your support and ideas!
Cheers
Tobias
The easiest way to unlock will be to install the Developers Rom 1.1. Vodafone here in NZ have a GPRS setup guide for the Qtek (step by step with screenshots), contact them for a copy (I could not find it on their website, but I am sure I have a copy somewhere, so let me know if you can't get a copy and I will see if I can find mine)
Cheers
Nick.
Thank you.
Sorry in advance for punishing those that have read this question uncountable times.....:
How/Where do I install the Developers Rom?
- where do I get it from?
- what does it cost?
- what do I have to do with it?
blablabla
Thanks for your patience
Tobias
it s a free ROM (Thanks to you guys @ XDA-developers) and you will find the howto page with all links up there in the navigation menu.
Everything is explained.
enjoy
Pocket PC 2003
I am running Pocket PC 2003 in New Zealand. Didnt have to change much, just the voice mail, sms message center numbers and the GPRS settings. seems to work well. I presume you are talking about the simlock. There is a Util that will unlock your device view http://xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/
Thats good news... and
I have gone through the plenty of information of the site here... however
Is there any "don´t worry - be happy - solution" around = e.g. somebody has prepared it totally.... and just put the card in and say "run"....
= can I buy a complete card somewhere or something?
I do not have time to do all those things needed :-(
any ideas ?
thx
tobias
Where abouts are you in NZ. I could possibly create you a SD card but I cant promise that it will work.
kewl... that would be great.
I am in the Auckland region. Waiheke Island to be more specific.
I can come on the mainland any time. A very good friend of mine is trying to get that xda unlocked. He is in Germany right now but unfortunately he has nearly no time. I gave him the xda THREE month ago to try to unlock but I never found time. In August he is coming to New Zealand and doing a tour here. So he can bring the xda with him and then we could check it out with the SD card.
that would be cool
thanks for your help
Tobias
The XDA's bought in NZ are unlocked so if you have to you can get them in NZ for about $1500NZ
nono..
I HAVE one... It did not bring it with me to NZ cause I hoped my friend in Germany could unlock it first...
I do not want to buy one. In August my friend comes and he brings the xda with him. Then I would be glad to know somebody here in NZ that could unlock my xda.
Can you do that?
Thanks
Tobias
nz gprs setting

hi,
where did you get the your qtek pc2003 update from?
I have a qtek but runs on pc2002. My radio version is 3.23.01
and rom version:3.1652eng. I bought my qtek in NZ.
I am trying to get the new windows mobile update but it
is still not available yet.

My phone has Radio ver 4.21. And bootloader 5.22. The rom ver is now 3.04.00 ENG. It was purchased in NZ unlocked.
The files I used to put the new OS on the phone are below on one of my old sites temporarily.
R E M E M B E R do not overwrite the boot loader and make a backup of your existing ROM first using the wallaby boot loader and an SD card. I backed up both the CE and BOOT ROM just in case.
This is not an official release and it may contain bugs (Not that I’ve found any, seems to work better than before 8) ) . There were a few regional settings you need to change. You will also have to re-enter the voice mail number +64 021 700 700 for NZ. It may not be compatable with some old software also.
I take no responsibility if this doesn’t work, but it did work for me.

o2.nl site now telfort.nl...and I can't find a thing anymore

I find it rather disturbing that on the new Telfort.nl site (that replaced the o2.nl site as of today or a little earlier) I cannot find any real support for the XDA. I wanted to check is there's a newer radio stack upgrade than 4.21, but all you can find is stuff about XDA configuration.
Does anyone know where to find the most current ROM upgrades?
Or can someone confirm that the ROM upgrades from O2 UK and O2 IE are the same?
Apologies for this rather n00bie question.

Newbie question: Upgrade to PPC 2003 w/unique ROM & Rad

Let me apologize if someone has asked this before (however I did search and found nothing). I also want to apologize if I sound stupid - I'm incredibly new to all this technology.
The Device: I have a "Siemens SX56" which I now know has many other names (thanks to this website). My ROM version is R.20.11 ENG dated 06/05/03, my Radio version is A.20.10 and my Protocol version (don't have a clue what it does) is 324e4. My wireless GSM carrier is Rogers in Canada.
The Problem: I wish to upgrade the device from Pocket PC 2002 (currently installed) to Pocket PC 2003. Microsoft only allows the manufacturer to provide this upgrade. Siemens does not have an upgrade for this device for people using the Rogers product in Canada. They do however have the upgrade available to AT&T subscribers in the U.S.
The Questions: Does anyone know if I can use the Siemens AT&T upgrade without any problems? What differences are there between these products? I noticed that my ROM and Radio versions were not included in the profile list (they must be fairly unique) does anyone have any familiarity with them and if so, how are they different from the newer versions? Can I update my ROM version to something less unique and still retain my wireless GSM carrier? Siemens and Rogers have been thoroughly unhelpful.
Thank - you for all your help.
It is so easy to upgrade to 2003.
Over hundreds posts are in the forum about upgrading to 2003
If you still cannot get it, contact me to help you. I'm in Toronto, Canada
thanks cgigate,
I too read MANY messages in this forum about upgrading to 2003 but haven't found anything that dispels my concerns about upgrading a phone with Rogers AT&T as the carrier.
Can you provide a link? What file(s) should I be looking for?
Also, a couple of other things...
1. Is there a way to backup my SMS messages before the upgrade and then restore them after the upgrade?
2. Has anyone found a solution the the "increasing ring" or volume clipping that was included in the new ROM's?
Thanks again! PS. I'm in Mississauga.
Rogers is my concern
Thanks Cgigate,
My concern is the same as Guiness.... how will the update effect a Rogers phone? The Siemens website clearly states that the upgrade is NOT for a rogers phone so I'm a little concerned. I did search the forums for any information on this and found nothing to this specific issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Sean
P.S. I'm in Markham/Toronto.
Update
Well, Siemens finally posted on their website an upgrade for WM2003 for the Rogers phones. You can find it here: http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...C%2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda%2F,00.html
I downloaded it and followed the instructions. The Radio Stack was upgraded successfully, however, the thing pooched during the ROM update. Phone is dead - won't turn on at all. I contacted the Rogers guy I bought the phone from and he has sent it in to get reflashed.... crappy!
Hey senmc,
I just followed your link to the Siemens upgrade for Rogers users in Canada.
I did the download, full upgrade (Radio Stack and OS) and it worked flawlessly!
I'm up and running without any problems... except, of course, I am having the same volume issues that everyone else has written about.
I just went to the Siemens site.
It says..." the upgrade is no longer avaliable"!!!
Does anyone know where else can I find the upgrade?
Try this link:
http://downloads.rogers.com/wireless/products/phones/siemens/Siemens_SX56_Software_Upgrade.exe
Here is the update to WM2003 directly from Rogers.
(I've got some problems with this ROM used in the ROMkitchen. But in the original format it should work fine....)

Blackberry Connect on Wizard?

Does anyone have this working yet?
Currently no WM5 BB clients are available to the public yet. My gut feeling is not before january 2006.
there were BBConnect clients for the late Himalaya ROM's (O2 issued them). Doesnt those work?
No, WM2003SE BB clients do not install on WM5 devices, they will detect the wrong Operating System and refuse to install.
Just to clarify the BB Client attempts to install on WM2005, the problem is that the BB software changes critical OS level files, and because the software is not signed its the operating systems that rejects the installation....otherwise it would install.
Did you try shutting off the digital signature check on your Wizard?
Details on how to do that are on my blog, October archives.
Yes, and I have a hunch that it is actually the script that rejects after an OS check. The error message is: unable to install. Uncertified system software detected (which indicates that WM5 is not accepted as target OS)
This is caused by the install script in the BBclient package rather than the Wizard's OS. This was reported before on non-O2 devices.
There was a trick to bypass that however. It should be somewhere in the xda-developer Himalaya threads. the BBConnect clinet was delivered in ROM version 1.92, issues by O2.
I have the BBConnect cab that was integrated in the latest T-Mobile MDA Compact ROm, if anyone sees any use for it. I have not tried it, on my Vario, since i figured it would not work. But if anyone needs it, just post here.
Hey Guys,
It has been a while for this thread. Was just wondering if anyone had heard anything new or perhaps a timeline for BBConnect on WM 5.
Cheers :arrow:
Bumparoo... Anyone seen a client that'll install on the Wizard?
blackberry is out, we stopped sell blackberry subscriptions a few days ago / workin at vodafone
Just Wondered
Just bumping this one as now that RIM's settled down I was wondering if anyone has heard of any news on BB connect for WM5
Re: Just Wondered
Yes, any news? It'll be wonderful if there is one now!!

T-Mobile Germany released a BB Client Software!
I am not sure if they are offering it somewhere else or if this can be used with every wizard.
I did not install it ( no need for it ) so I cannot tell you if its only German or Multilanguage
You may download it right here:
https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_mda_vario.htm
Installs in English!
I don't suppose anyone has a copy of the instructions in English? Would hate to work my way through the pdf for days and find someone has one handy....

Odd. I'm running it on a xda mini s with the qtek rom, installed like a dream and in English.
Can someone please post this file here as I cannot seem to download it from the t-mobile.de site.
thanks
