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?

Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me where can I find those ROMs??
Thanks alot..

Did you get anywhere? Im looking for advice on upgrading from PocketPC 2002 on my uk O2 XDA.

I found the free upgrade from PPC2002 to Windows Mobile 2003 (AT&T services) on this site, but it updates not only the operating system, but also the radio stack:
http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda_DADS,00.html
Afterward, I wanted to unlock my phone and used the xda-developers special edition ROM. I guess it put the older PPC 2002 back on my XDA, but unlocked my phone AND I have fabulous reception where I had no signal before! Some of the new things from WM2003 are gone BUT I have great reception. The WM2003 nk.nbf file left on my computer is just under 32MB, and that is, I guess, the actual operating system upgrade w/o the radio stack changes the link above gave me. Trying to be brave enough to load it back onto my XDA... as I don't want to lose the fabulous reception I now have.

No such thing called XDA version Windows Mobile 2003 SE.
It doesn’t exist.

Windows Mobile Second Edition? Not until summer/fall.
Microsoft is suppose to launch the second edition of Windows Mobile aka Pocket PC 2003 towards the end of summer/beginnning of autumn. The only device they've announced to support the updated OS is the Motorola MPx200. Until it's release, Windows Mobile is the most recent OS for Wallaby devices.

WIN 2003 SE!
ah ok, so the new Windows 2003 SE has not been released yet!
I have the Microsoft Windows 2003 SE emulator images, but i guess it won't work for any device! I can only use the SE version on emulator, so thats why I was wondering if they've released it on real devices!
so what about the latest ROM version for XDA I??
I have found that 4.01.16 ENG (from http://xda.weblink.net) is the latest Windows 2003 ROM among all the kitchens!
Is there any newer version ??
I also found a ROM called A.30.09 ENG.. What does that mean?? Does this ROM works on XDA I ?
Thank you all

4.01.16 from T-Mobile or 30.09 from AT&T are the latest WM2003 ROMs available for XDA I ... however, A30.09 has a silly sound issue (clipping).

Well, I believe the SE edition has been released. Is there any way for us xda 1 users to get this thingy working on our units?

the SE is released for OEMs only ... it's a matter of time before it's commercially available especially the PE

ThAnKs dude I will install the T-mobile 4.01.16 ENG then..

FYI: I've seen WM2K3SE running on an XDA I device at the MDC last week in use by a MSFT. I was not able to inquire as to it's functionality as I'm sure it isn't optimized yet - much like the beta version I received for my hp iPAQ h2210.

Pity you didnt get a rom dump on an sd card

oh yes, good idea to take an image of the installed ROM on SD card!
I am going crazy searching the net for win2003SE!!!! I can't find any
I just have it on my emulator, its fast & i guess its well optimized more than previous versions!

****ed up VM2003. No hard reset help. HELP ME!!!!

Hi!
I have the XDA II (Qtek2020) and it used to work fine... But for some reason now I can't enter my contacts and my calender. And if I'm so lucky to enter, it is all ****ed up and I can't read half of it. The buttons, text and so on is simply gone!
I was sure that a hard reset would do the trick, but that did not work Now I dont know what do do. My calender and contacts is what I'm using most on my PDA. And further more my icons are missing when I e.g. go to "System" or any other menu. Does anyone know what I can do? My XDAII is totally useless...
As far as I see it my only option is to try to install a new ROM.
I'm currently using ROM version 1.03.00 USA and Radio version 1.05.12A - VM2003
But I am a totally newbie in this upgrading thing... I know that I could (and I will) read a lot in this forum on updating it, but I know that it will confuse me too, cause there is a lot of opinions and a lot of threats...
I would like if someone would simply say:
* "This" is the best ROM you can install. There are no bugs and it runs perfectly! (ofcourse I want the BEST rom with the best radio too - I want all the best :wink: )
* This is how you upgrade - simply and easy described.
I need to have installed a ROM that allow me to use TT5 and does not freeze... Also have to work with bluetooth support...
How about the radio part? Is that included in the ROM or do I have to install that seperately?
How about updating to WM2005? Would that be a good idea or are there still too many bugs? I need to sync with my desktop. I've heard that WM2005 is having trouble doing that? And how about programs working on WM2005?
The XDAII is unlocked.
Thanks in advance!!!!
And thank to you people for reading this post and replying seriously.
I appriciate it! I really need your help

in the ftp there is a 1.75 rom which i think have radio stack 1.18
personaly i'm still using the norwegien 1.72 with 1.14
never heard about a problem such as yours
unless you restore your backup i dont really see how these issues could
survive a hardreset
the radio stack is included in the rom upgrade¨
about upgrading here is a guide
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaRomkitchen

The only back up I'm restoring is my contacts and my calender from Outlook on my desktop...
ROM 1.75 ? Is that VM2003SE or WM2005? I assume that it is WM2005 when using the radio stack 1.18???
"The Norwegien 1.72 with 1.14"? Is that WM2005? Working fine? No probs?
How do I access the FTP? Excuse this newbie... :roll:

no 1.75 is not 2005 it's 2003 (not SE)
ftp
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
2005 dont come with a radio stack of it's own so if one upgrade to it one get what ever radiostack one already had
1.72 is also 2003 (not SE)
my reasons for not getting later editions is
the 2003SE in english are manualy translated from chinese so it's not official and some people report issues with the transscriber and dictionary i believe
the 2005 i suspect dont use the ATI chip which mean that it's GUI is slower then earlier roms some guy did some benchs which showed that it was much slower with 2005 then with 2003 when it came to graphics
imho then 2005 is reported a bit slugish speedwise
and it dont really offer something which i need so i havent taken the ride myself
my 1.72 is working just fine

If I upgrade to WM2003SE or WM2005, can I then easily downgrade if I'm not satisfied?

I get my M5000 TOMORROW :) - Which ROM tho?

Im going to be using an O2 simcard in it, and I have all the relevant unlock utils etc.
Now Ive downloaded the latest O2 ROM to flash with, but is this the best one to use?
I will be soft resetting before customisation, and opening up the EXT Rom anyway, so not fussed about it being O2 specifically.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Oh, Id like it to be similar to the O2 install, IE a single EXE. Dont really want to mess with memory addresses, umpteen utils and the like etc
THANKS

Got a O2 Exec with the latest O2 ROM on it till two days ago !
The only thing I can say is try Ivan or Helmi's ROMs. They can be set up really safely and easily. The great advantage as well is that your PDA will be a lot quicket to react and the new AKU has really been improved compared to the old one from O2. I mean old like really old, don't support ad2p for example.

None left Im afraid, all the ROMs have been downloaded already m8!

Where can I get the latest O2 ROM from then.
The version I downloaded was v1.13.188
Any other O2 ones newer than that?
Thanks

The rom I have is 1.30.162
Downloadable from http://www.my-xda.com/xdaExecSoftware.jsp
But it's from april 2006. So your probably better of updating to aku 3.x
Trying to update my exec to 3.5 soon.

Where are the ROMs

Hi all,
On the internet I read that there is a ROM AKU 3.5. Is this ROM also for the TyTN?
If so, wherecan we download it now?
Thanks,
Temba
PS. Microsoft, shame on you. Release updates yourself, than we don't have to download pre-releases 'illegal'.

Bull****. Microsoft is working on a Windows Update for the Mobile system. It's supposed to be available with WM6. btw there's one integrated into WM5 too, it's called Download Agent.... or may be that's only on Orange branded devices..
Dunno where you've heard of an AKU 3.5, but you won't find it here since all the ROMs have to be taken down:

Well, actually, it has never worked on any WM5 device (dunno about Orange devices tho). Unlike in WM6, of course, where it IS supposed to work.
