hi,
Sum1 here who a T-Mobile subscriber? I have a T-Mobile PocketPC that I need to unlock tho I'm not a T-Mobile subcriber. I need a T-Mobile mobile number to get the upgrade at http://www.t-mobile.com/products/handhelds/pocketpc/download_popup.asp
Or if someone already downloded the upgrade where can I download it without keying-in the mobile number? Thanks.
BTW, I have a question, if I download the upgrade, can I now use the XDAunlock.exe file here (is my ROM automatically updated)? My ROM version now is 3.14.40 ENG. I'm having trouble with the ROM updater here since im not linux literate.
Email me at [email protected]. Thanks a lot
I already downloaded the TMobile upgrade. Can somebody tell me if this upgrade will indeed upgrade my ROM to the correct ROM version with wirelss modem feature to I can use the XDAunlock.exe to unlock my xda? Thanks
The answer is NO, the latest TMO upgrade is 4.01.00 and it has no wmodem.exe application. If you need to unlock your device, go to www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ and use the tool there.
If it doesn't work, try the kitchen at www.yorch.net and cook a new 3.17 based ROM and flash your XDA and unlock it, then you can upgrade to TMO 4.01.00 later.
BTW, the TMO upgrade affects the RSU part. So, unless you are a TMO user you better use the .nbf file only with either SD card or use the XDAtools to flash your device.
Good luck.
Hi Biso,
How can I "cook" a rom? http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php when I go to that website, the only thing needed to be selected are the 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro (6656 kB available) and XDA-developers AutoConfig data (113 kB) under it. and the unlocking option right? This wil be the first to use my pocket pc device, which option should I select under How would you like your ROM?
installer EXE
zipped NK.nb1 (SD-card flashing)
zipped NK.nbf (advanced users)
and should I do anything on the NBF header string?
Thanks man.
If I use the intaller EXE file, how will I "flash" it on my device? What are the differences between using the exe,nk.nb1 and nk.nbf? Thanks again.
I notice that above the page there is an indication, by default when I go to the page (without checking or unchecking anything) the top of the page states:
space in ROM: 6656 kB
used: 7729 kB
free: -1072 kB
*overload*
Should I limit my ROM on 6656 kB (meaning that I have to uncheck other options)? My deveice is an XDA 1. Thank you.
Hi ...
Yes, you have to uncheck some optional s/w till the guage line is "Green".
If you are not familiar with the SD method, just select the EXE type. It will generate a 15 MB exe file which you should download it to your PC. Connect your XDA to your PC throught the cradle and ActiveSync and run the exe file while the cradle is connected to the power supply and follow the instructions on the screen.
Good luck.
Thanks man for the quick reply.
Sorry I'm getting confused. Should I transfer the exe file to the device and run the exe file on the device?
Thanks again
The exe file runs from your desktop, your xda will need to be synced with your pc before running the exe.
Thanks so this is what I have to do:
First sync my device (cradle connected to the power supply) and after synching, run the exe file on my desktop computer (no need to transfer on my device or anything?). That's it?
Is this fail-proof? Will it not damage my device if ever there was an interruption or sumthing? How can I make sure that I can go fail-proof? Kinda worried coz I just got hold of my xda 1 (T-Mobile edition), I'm a palm user before. Thanks
BTW, my PocketPC Version is 3.0.12039 (Build 11178). ROM version 3.14.40 ENG. I don't know if my PocketPC is 2002 or 2003. I'll be using the yorch.net ROM (http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php). All compatible?
ROM 3.14 is a PPC2002 one and all ROMs on Yorch.net is WM2003 except the 3.17 one.
Just to ensure it's a safe process, remove the SIM and SD card from the device and stop any running applications on your PC.
Good luck ...
Thans Biso. How bout a step by step guide? Pls pls pls? Id really appreciate it man.
Like
1. Sync the device (Power connected to the cradle)
2. Run the Rom Exe file
3. etc.
Just to be sure. BTW, is the exe file really just 150KB? Is that all I need to unlock my device?
Hi ...
There is nothing really needed more than what you just wrote:
1. Connect the XDA to the cradle and sync while the power is connected.
2. Run the EXE file and follow the instructions on the screen.
BTW, the EXE file should be at least 15 MB, seems your ROM was not "cooked" well .... try again
Ohh ok. I downloaded twice and all I got was 150kb. how will I know that the ROM i got is "cooked" well so I can be free of troubles. Can you just give me a link to the right/"well cooked" ROM? Thanks man.
One more thing, should I run the ROM EXE file while my device is synching or after the synch?
it's still 150 kb. Here's what it says when I view the log
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files
seems there is something wrong with the kitchen work space ... it happens sometimes ... no big issue.
You may try this kitchen as well http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
P.S: run the EXE file after the device is synced
which one should I pick? Pocket PC 2002 ROM or Windows Mobile 2003 ROM. And what's the difference. Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks for the replies.
Biso,
Can I use an MMC card for flashing? I MIGHT be able to borrow an MMC card. Also, I dont have a card reader but I have a digital camera which I can use to transfer the ROM image from my desktop computer to the card. Would you think it would work? Thanks again man.
will the exe file below work for me?
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
and
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
This is my Device's Information
ROM version: 3.14.40ENG
ROM date: 11/26/02
Radio version: 6.18
Protocol version: 324e4
Pocket PC Version 3.0.12039 (Build 11178) (Don't know if this is 2002 or 2003 pocketpc)
Pls reply. thanks
Hi ...
1. As the figure tells, WM2003 is the latest than PPC2002.
2. I can recommend to use TMO 4.01.00 as I have it on my device for almost 3 months now with no problems so far (few things have to be tweaked tho), but I heard good news about AT&T 30.09 ROM as well.
3. I can't confirm that MMC can replace SD card. I saw some threads on this but no final results.
4. The answer is NO, the only way to move the NBF file to the SD card is either a card writer or by using XDAtools with the XDA cradle. I don't think the card will be recognized by the bootloader otherwise.
5. SER-V12 is a PPC2002 ROM and useful only if you need to unlock your device (which I believe it's already unlocked).
No I just want to unlock the device, that's it I don;t really want a ROM upgrade, just so happens that I need to have a ROM upgrade to unlock the device
SO I can use the SER-V12? Thanks a lot.
For all the UK xda 1 users out there, here is a very simple way to upgrade your rom to wm 2003. This is using the siemens SX56 rom from
http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...addon_SX56POCKETPCPHONE_12444_5856_DA,00.html
1. Download xdatools from this site.
2. Download the siemens rom from the above link
3. Backup your contacts/calender
4. Remove your SD card ( I managed to kill mine playing with XDAtools )
5. Extract the siemens stuff ( c:\program files\SX56 upgrade utility )
6. Browse to the above folder and double clik the NK.nbf file.
7. XDAtools will pick it up and take you through the upgrade.
Two hardware resets and you have wm 2003 on your XDA.
My radio stack is 4.21 upgraded from the o2.co.uk site. I am also with Vodafone. It all seems to work perfectly. Hope this was the way to do it though.
NOTE : DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK - o2 UK WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS !
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY !
So two weeks later and whats the prgress?
felt like having some fun with one that was laying around the office.
Not impressed with the device so far I had to reset it the other day no reason and it completely emptied itself of data in the meeting (nice!)
does the 2003 upgrade remember anything more that the 2002 version?
can i update my xda rom from o2 to win 2003? where do i find such utility?
Point your webbrowser to http://xda.weblink.net/ This is the fabulous ROM Kitchen of Makis and LumpiStefan.
Click on "Windows Mobile 2003" and select which tools you want to include in the ROM and choose a bootscreen.
Build your ROM as an EXE file and download it when ready.
The status is shown on top.
When the EXE is downloaded, remove the SD card and put your XDA in the cradle and run the EXE. Follow the instructions on screen and you have an XDA with Windows Mobile 2003 (WM2003).
Please note:
When upgraded you have to install all your software again and re-enter your Contacts and Calender entries.

will i be able to unlock
thanks for your help on the rom kitchen? I have a few questions:
1. At the moment I have developers SER in my XDA 1 and it is unlocked, after I upgrade it to TMobile 4.01.16 will it still be unlocked?
2. If it will be locked again on upgrade to WM 2003 what would be the procedure to unlock it over 2003 without a cable?
Thanks
Ghaffar
It will be still unlocked after the upgrade.....
So no problem with this.....
HTH

Reverting back to Pocket PC 2002 SER
Thanks for the quick reply. Would it be possible to revert back to SER on Pocket PC 2002 after an upgrade to WM 2003?
Regards,
Ghaffar.
You can always revert to SER 1.2.
But it could be difficult, cause some some roms only allow installing a new ROM via SD-Card.
Try reading a little bit in the forum....
Stefan
It is possible to go back from WM2003.
I have done it the SD way.
First of all download the XDATools from this site.
Use the XDA OS Image tool to make a backup of your current OS.
Then use SD Backup on your XDA to make a backup of your "Working set" of applications and settings.
You now have a complete backup of your XDA.
I used a cardreader to make a Windows Backup of the SD Card.
Remove the SD from the XDA and perform an upgrade with your own cooked ROM from LumpiStefan.
In my case I could not downgrade using the SER1.2 via the cradle. I had to use the SD methode. Fortunately I had my backup of PocketPC2002, so I was able to flash back to my original XDA OS.

Thank you jaugusto
i will download this ROM
and about installing OFFICE 6.1
I Edit The CAB File to Run on Magician (Edit with WinCE Cab Manager) Because Some People said that this Office Edition Compatible with Windows Mobile 2003 but Downloaded File Not Run on My Device
I edited the cab file, ran it on my device (2.03TX rom), it installed properly, but excel and word still don't work.
You have uninstall option on remove programs.
i finally got an alternative for office mobile! Softmaker office 2006.
Works great on my magician with 2.03TX rom!
If anyone's interested pm me!
@jaugusto
hi there... i want to install 2.03TX too but same like you i need pocket excel.
well,i found softmaker office too, but i think this software takes bigger space & memory in our magician than original poc.excel ?
what do you think? im ready to flash mine with 2.03, just waiting for this issue. thanks
you're right, it takes more memory than original pocket excel.
i have a "version" of softmaker office wich doesn't need instalation, so i keep it on my sd card, and it only take about 6 or 7 mb.
anyway, i steel prefer to use softmaker office, because it doesn't need to convert windows office files via active sync, it's fully compatible with excel and word 2003...
please help
i really need pocket excel for 2.03
hey dude cn u please gimme this software--thnx
Search it here: http://www.noeman.org/gsm/
