Halo ZeroXtreme.

Thnxz Bro.

Hi ZeroXtreme,
Mind if I ask which country have you used the new rom? Have you used it in Singapore or Malaysia?
Cheers
Vic

I did use the rom kitchen wm2003 rom wih my asian edition (64 mb) xda with xda UK's rsu 4.21 successfully. I live here in the Philippines and I did not get any signal problems with Globe telco. I reverted back to 3.14.17 asian xda rom coz I heard that they will be releasing an updated rom this month.

used wm2003, its nice but to me personally, a bit laggy sometimes. don't try it with the 32 mbyte model. did the wm2003 upgrade on my bro's 32 mb device, and he had so little ram left! lucky for him he has a 256 mbyte sd card for software!
otherwise, its pretty good! now i'm currently running SER 1.2

I am from Malaysia and upgaraded to Rom Kitchen 4.00.05ENG and Radio4.21.00.
I have nothing but praise for the new os.
Have not encounter any of the known problems(SD card erase or alarm trouble).
As my Xda is 32M I have almost all my stuff on the 256M sd leaving 21M of ram free.
There are many enhancements making this a great upgrade. You wont notice the speed increace unless
using cpu intensive apps like emulators. The speed
improvement in PocketSNES is like using one of the
new 2003 ppc's and the always on GPRS is sweet!
I am using Digi prepaid.

was wondering if you flashed your rom , how did you managed to put back in all the cantacts onto the new rom? i tried flashing my rom but was unable to restore contacts onto the new rom

sync with Outlook first before you update your ROM, and then sync again after updating to ROM, this will bring back all your contacts and files from mydocuments :roll:

just cooked (last night) 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 and sucessfully installed it on my O2 Asian Ed. with Radio 4.21. Installation went smooth...but now the problem is :
1. not able to deliver any sms. All sms settings seemed fine.
2. RF signal meter ..much lower signal.
note: the always on GPRS present you with an irritating task, as you cannot find the END button to cut your your GPRS connection once connected.
can any one please give your comments? cheers

Yeah, currently using 4.00.05 in Australia. Used the Yorch ROM and burnt it on using XDA Tools.
It's a sweet upgrade, even though I've only been using it a couple of days. No problems yet. The first thing I've noticed though is the "always on" GPRS, it really is "always on", that in itself is very sweet indeed. I'll be keeping my eyes open for any ROMs newer than 4.00.16 that are NOT T-Mobile. Don't use T-Mobile ROMs unless you have a T-Mobile and are comfortable with the process involved in reverting back.
My advice - DO IT! You won't look back.

Hi, I am from Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, just get a XDA 64MB, can some one teach me how to upgrade to WM2003? Where can I get the ROM? I get from Yorch, but the file only 150kb very strange.
Can someone provide some nice FTP or webpage with FULL VERSION Application available?
Get in touch: ICQ 73348100
Thank You.

UK 02 4.0.0.x PPC2003

Hi ya fellas.
I upgraded my XDA 02 UK pda to 4.00.05 and am fairly happy with its stability. A few probs with the backlight going off, but nothing much really. Windows Media 2003 is class.... encoding films with windows media codec 9 is a joy and they work every time...no codec conflictions, cache settings etc, and the quality is cool.
However, i wish to get a plain (i.e. No added cooked programs) ROM.
I could use Yorchs kitchen to cook up a plain 4.00.05 ROM again, but would rather give 4.0.0.16 ago. It's labled as a T-Mobile USA rom... I however have a UK o2 model xda. If i download the GSM 800/1800 changer utility with it, should it work ok?
Also, will this ROM update my radio stack. I'm currently running 4.21 (the official latest update for o2 uk xda's)... i dont mind if it does update it, but compatability wise, what odds am i running of it working ok?
Ive got an SD reader/writer and have a backup of my old rom just in case i need to go back via bootloader mode.
Thanks for listening
You XDA-Developers are good people (if a little to smart for my likeing
Tony Kett.

probably none since you're only updating ROM and not radio stack.
the cleanest method is obviously using the SD.
btw ... can we have your ROM to look at ?
Thanks
Decebal

my Rom (4.00.05) is just the one thats on the yorch site (with extra apps etc).

>probably none since you're only updating ROM and not radio stack.
- So if i update to 4.00.16 from yorch's site, theres no Radio stack upgrade? and the t-mobile USA version of this 4.00.16 (thats presented on the site) will only update my OS?
http://www.yorch.net/ - if you didnt know btw.
And a bloody good site it is.
So any other O2 UK XDA users upgraded to 4.00.16 or above? (4.00.21)?
I know your out there :!:

updating to v4.00.16 in the uk on a uk device will make you loose the ability to use orange/one2one in the xda as 1800mhz will be replaced with a none working 1900mhz
meaing your phone will have a 1800/900mhz radio but 1900/900mhz software which cant control the radio properly.
use v4.00.05 or v4.00.11(best option) so that you can use all uk networks.

4.00.11 ?
where can we get 4.00.11 ?

the rom kitchens :|

th 4.0.0.11 rom is not available on Yorch Kitchen.
It was on Jeff's Kitchen but the site is down.
Could some one upload the rom 4.0.0.11 on a server to share??
regards,
Yann

gazzaman2k... exactly the answer i was looking for. Cheers Mate.
Now to find a 4.00.11 Rom
Your right, yorch doesnt have that one. Anyone fancy hosting it.... or if possible, email me it at [email protected]
Cheers People,
Tony

So I take it that its not possible to change the 1900/900 to 1800/900 on those newer t-mobile roms (4.0016 & above)? No changer utility? Cant do it in the bootloader :?:
Dammit.
Just out of curiosity, what is the latest unofficial radio stack that people in the UK are using.
The 4.21 official one has been out for quite a while now, but ive seen no unofficial updates to this :?:
Tony

Ajektt, ther is an official update to the 4.21 Radio Stack it's the 4.21.X1
I have it installed, I don't see mutch difference, maybe a better signal mesure.
Doese some one have the 4.00.11 Rom?? I could host it if some one sends it.
Yann

actually with 4.00.21 comes 6.24.00 RSU.
Who wants it ... pm me ... or you can find it at yorch's site.
I need the 4.00.11 too.
Decebal

decebal, we are talking about o2 uk xda compatible radio stacks and os.
4.00.21 and 6.24 RSU Uses 1900/900 GSM ranges, not 1800/900 from what i've been told above in the forum.
Tony

will people pack it in emailing me for v4.00.11 yeah i have it but its cooked especially for my xda meaning the ecurity rom was cooked also :evil: if i had a plain version id be happy to share but as i dont i wont share the version i got as the rom contains my name+details and phone numbers ect.... hence why i havent uploaded it to my webspace and shared :shock:

Thank you gazzaman2k!! We understand you can't share your cooked version.
Maybe Jeff still hase in his archive an uncooked 4.00.11 version of the rom?
Could Yorch include it in his kitchen??
Dose some one has a uncooked version or a cooked version of the 4.00.11 rom with out the security option?

fair enough gazza 8)
We need to harass Yorch to get it up on his superb kitchen. I think we have our work cut out though, because he's getting requests left, right and centre for things on there, which is pretty harsh on him (and his team)
If anyone does manage to get the nbf file, so i can dump it in an .exe install that would be great

for all those concerned about the ROMs on Yorch.net:
Well, for those who know me know that I am about to get married in 2 months, and I just moved with my fiancee to a new apartment. Before moving, I sold EVERYTHING, that includes my 3 desktops pc (including my main PC), and my desk. Since my the new apt, is not that big, I chose not to buy me a desktop, but a laptop, by the way, the laptop that I just bought is the HP pavillion zd7000 series custom made for me :wink: , 3.06ghz of sheer power....arhhh, arhhhh, arhhh <----[trying to imitate Tim Allen]
Anyway, you problably know what that means, right, I've been without a home PC for the last 2 weeks, and I'm scheduled to recieve my new laptop by next week (hopefully), so no changes to the websites, and no changes, really, if you can get smart people to figure out the changes for me, I'm sure I could do them online or from my work computer, but in the meanwhile, I can't do anything......so stop harrasing me with the 4.00.11 rom already! 8) .

hahaha
Consider the harrisment stopped.
Enjoy your move... i moved 2 weeks ago and im still aching

If anyone can host the 4.00.11 Rom, i can send it via Email.
Got it in nb1 format, so it should work.
Played few weeks ago little bit with the kitchen, but didn´t get it really working. Maybe because my computer is too slow.
Regards
Stefan

can we get the 4.00.11 plain rom out of the nb1 file (nbf?)?
If so we should then be able to cook another rom on yorch's site (i.e. a 4.00.05 one), build it as an .exe. Then once we have the exe, we should be able to drop the 4.00.11 file in to replace the 4.00.05 one that we cooked...no?
But can u extract stuff from nb1's?

what upgrades should i do to an o2 that i have just received

i have just put my sim card in but the OS is
ROM version 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date 10/11/02
Radio verison 4.16
Protocol Version 32554
are there any upgrades or programs i should add or is it fine as it is?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :wink:

I would suggest leaving the radio stack alone if it works ok. You can backup your current rom to sd card then go cook a rom with lots of extra features and software in the unused rom space at one of the kitchens.

Hi ... congratulations first
Your ROM is PPC2002, so you may consider upgrading to WM2003 (it's not essential tho :wink: ).
In all cases, if your Radio is working fine (the phone part), just do NOT touch it!!
Take enough time to read in this forum before any steps or questions ... Good luck

O2 XDA and WM2003
I just saw posts on this thread, is it possible (safe?) to put WM2003 on an O2 XDA. What ROM upgrade should be used? I ask because I got impression that 2003 upgrade was vendor sensitive and you had to use (if they did one) your vendors upgrade. (i.e. Siemens, etc). Thanks for help, maybe I get to update after all !!
Alan

Which ROM upgrade should I apply? Please help!

Hi,
I just received my SX56 two days ago. I have T-Mobile USA service. I'm trying to figure out the Windows Mobile 2003 upgrades and all that. I found the ROM cook site. So, from what I understand, I can cook the ROM from the site, download it and run it to upgrade my SX56, right? I will not need to do anything else. Everything's included in the ROM downloaded from the site? Also, what version should I update to? A.30.09 or 4.01.16 or something else? Please help!
Also, is there a way to have Bluetooth enabled in SX56 or is it a hardware restriction?
Thank you.

for now i would stick with what you got
and no a rom change could not make it do bluetooth
not even make it work with sdIo Bluetooth cards

I have used PPC2003 before and I have bought few applications that only work with Windows Mobile 2003. That's the reason why I want to upgrade SX56 to 2003. Could someone please guide me to the correct version number for T-Mobile? Thank you.

The 4.01.16 is quite good and stable. (does not have the audio bug).
Pierre

Ps: There's also the SD Erasure!!! buggy WM2003

PLEASE HELP with this XDA1

:? PLEASE HELP!!!
I've got an XDAI
ROM version: 4.01.12 ENG
ROM date: 12/22/03
Radio version: 6.1800
Protocol version: 324e4
Model no.: PW10A1
The ROM was cooked in Stefan's great ROM kitchens.
Whenever my XDA loses the GSM signal it turns itself on.
It will turn itself off again after 2 minutes-as it is set to do.
I don't know when this probelms started but it hasn't always done this.
It is maddening, especially when I am driving.
It also wears the battery down quickly.
Could it be my radio stack?
What is the best or most reccommended for XDA1?

i think it's the rom, its a little bug some 2003 t-mobile roms have

Try to use the AT&T ROM
it has very few bugs, but some problems in sound!

Revert back
I suggest you put the latest Pocket PC 2002 ROM back in.
I have been through the same with my own XDA 1. Tried every unofficial and coocked WM2003 ROM there is. Nothing but issues and an utter waste of my time. Now I am back at PPC2002 3.20.06, AFAIK the most recent PPC2002 version. Workes like a charm. Even -very demanding- TomTom3 runs smoothly on PPC2002 on my XDA 1.
WM2003 on an old XDA 1 does not bring any fascinating additional functionality. The XDA 1 does not become faster, does not use less memory for the OS so more for apps, no great extra apps, battery does not last longer with WM2003, graphics don't become speedier. No gains in there whatsoever, not for me anyway. Only issues unfortunately.
And all my non-MS apps well run on PPC2002. So why make the switch :?:

Thanks for all the replies.
You guys are great help.
Silicon
The Rom you mentioned 3.20.06 is an english language version of an asian ROM. Isn't it?
Will this work well in the USA (where I am)?
Also will it work well with T-Mobile?
Or should I use a ROM like 3.14.40?
Is there any need to change the radio stack?
