I just got my MDA II after having problems with my SX56...
The MDA II was flashed with an 02 ROM: 1.60.00 WWE dated 12/03/03 with extended ROM version 1.60.50.
What I'm trying to figure out is if this is Windows 2003 or not. Under the 'About' it says Microsoft Pocket PC Version 4.20.0 (Build 13252).
Can anyone help or direct me to where i can find out - -such a simple thing but I can't seem to find an answer.
Thanks in advance,
no xda2 have ever had 2002 on it
apart from that version 3 is 2002
and version 4 is 2003
So sweet... thanks!
One quick and dirty method of telling the difference between 2002 and 2003 - go to calendar - got to any view except week view -
2002 The days of the week at the top of the screen are all black
2003 the sunday is red and the saturday is blue and the rest are black!

Hi Guys,
I got my second hand Pocket PC 2002 at a sale - the only problem was that the OS was in German - and Ic bin nein Berliner (I am not a German) so I wanted to see if i could do something about it.
And that is when i stumbled across you guys. I only have the Dummy SD card - and hence cannot back up my existing OS onto it. I was wondering it there is available anywhere - backed up OSes of a Pocket PC 2002 PW10A2. This is most urgent - you can message me at [email protected] - i am ONLINE right now ... 0125 hrs IST (GMT +0530hrs)
Thanking you,
T
I don't know what that 'PW10A2' version is, but I could give u 3.17 English version
He/she ended up using the XDA-Dev SER 1.2 as I suggested and that did the trick.
Maybe it is stupid question, but I'm really confused about Pocket PC 2003 vs. WM2003. I'm newbe for XDA
I read a lot ROM upgrade topics, refer to WM2003, but sometime refers Pocket PC 2003. sometime refer to wireless modem 2003 !
I guess WM2003 means “Windows Mobile 2003” or "Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC"
I search Microsoft website; it seems Microsoft uses “Windows Mobile 2003” instead of Pocket PC 2003.
Please correct me, if I’m wrong!
What version # is Pocket PC 2003, >4.00 ?
the correct name for the new OS for PPC is known as Windows Mobile 2003 or WM 2003 for short..some people call it Pocket PC 2003 but the actual name for it is WM 2003, there are a few ROMS for WM 2003 in this site namely 4.00.05, 4.00.10, 4.00.11 and 4.00.16 for both 4.00.10 and 4.00.16 are T-mobile ROMS... they can be downloaded from Jeff's Kitchen which is at http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen
do help yourself with these ROMS...I would recommend 4.00.11 with radio version 4.21
cheers!!
Hi there guys
Is there any way that you can upgrade from Windows Mobile 2003 to Windows Mobile 2005?
I have a i-Mate Pocket PC / XDA II. Here in South Africa no-one can help you with that. They can't even tell you if it is possible. Even the guys specialising in the i-Mate phones/PDA's don't have a clue.
They don't even know how to upgrade from 2003 to 2003SE. They can't even help me with that.
Please help.
Thanks guys
a quick look around the forum goes a long way
2005 http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18584
2003SE http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16916
Thats the problem. The links are there and you can go and read alot about it, but if you click on a link to download a file and it doesn't work it's not that nice.
I am not that clued up when it comes to PDA's. I would like to go somewhere where I can get the file, run the setup and everything works fine.
Hi, Piesang.
Used the Diamond 1.2 pack WM2003SE upgrade (need to search for the link in this forum) and used the original ext ROM from iMate. Worked first time. Been running it for over a month now, and very happy with it. Only issue picked up so far is that you can't sync via bluetooth, but still works via the cradle.
ROM version : 2.06.00WWE
ROM date: 06/14/04
Radio version: 1.180.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.72.800
Laat weet my as jy enige hulp nodig het of nie die sagteware kan kry nie.
hi to all!
i got some questions:
1. Are the Wallaby's upgradable to WM2005?? And if NO then why? will there be a release for the phone edition, and why release for the other non phone edition ver only? Dose it have to do with the Memory? 32 too little, min 64?
2. i have T - Mobile Wallaby Model: PW10B1, MS Pocket PC Ver. 4.20.0 (Build 13252), ROM Ver 4.01.16 ENG, ROM Date 02/04/04.
- the question is.......what ver of 2003 is this? SE or just 2003?
thanks.
Releasing An OS particularly the WM2005 (MAGNETO) is a choice of OPERATORS not by the Microsoft .. Microsoft done more than a dozen version of WM2005 for almost all devices and i believe they have no rights to release it in public unless for beta testing which is only for a particular person or group, they leave it to the OEM if they will released it or not ..
as we see a Discontinued product are most likely not supported with all new features and upgrade .. OEM loose all its interest on giving there time and effort for a OS version upgrade that they no longer sell and only concentrated on the newer that they will SELL..
we cannot expect an OFFICIAL release for OLD Discontinued Devices including WALLABY and HIMALAYA ..
HIMALAYA and Typhoon user are just lucky that someone managed to leak it for distribution .. but this leak version is not official and prohibited .. and believe it some people are sometimes risking for this copy .. (dont ask why plss)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's just WM2003.
There is a ROM Version 3.04.00 that is WM2003SE. But there are some problems with this ROM. Only big difference between WM2003 and WM2003SE is the landscape mode. So I would suggest stay at your working ROM version....
