All, first off, much thanks for the help on unlocking my Wallaby. I used XDA Tools and the Special Edition ROM. This is a great site!
I've been searching but cannot find an answer to my question. Is it possible for me to go back to Windows Mobile 2003 after this unlock procedure and still KEEP the unlock?
I ask because even though I like most of the features of XDA build, I don't want ALL of the programs and I like some of the features in WM2003. I separately downloaded the added apps that I want such as the scientific calculator and will load those individually.
Can someone please clarify this for me???
Many thanks in advance!!!!!
You can go to wm2003, the phone will remain unlocked.
back to 2003
this is the 2003 siemens radio and rom upgrade

Hi,
I'm new to all this. I just got my first XDA and i need to unlock my sim code. I'm not sure how to do all this unix stuff. Is there anyone with all this done. And could they send me a copy so i can flash it to my rom?
My Rom ver. is 3.14.13 if thats any help
Also is this rom version too early for the XDAunlock tool?
Thanks
Seek and ye shall find
Your best bet is to search through the relevant posts (its a long and laborious job) but you will find what you are after.
Also look at the Rom Kitchen and you will be able to 'cook' your own rom and then flash it via your cradle. I do not have a Unix machine but the kitchen will create an exe for you to download.
As for sending you one, I doubt it as the rom is usually about 15Mb in size and so is a no no. Get to the kitchen, start cooking and enjoy the fruits of the XDA gurus labours.
As a word of warning some people may not be so forthcoming with info as they prefer people to search for their answer before posting. Just to let you know and prevent annoyance with regular posters
Goddame, go to : http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen
It's the easiest way, you can cook there your ROM, and after download it ,even as an .exe.
Just be carefull to read the different choices, depending on the ROM you choose first . (don't choose a T-Mobile one if you're not with T-Mobile . I have an O2 XDA UK , and I choose 4.0011 ENG WM 2003, all is OK , before I had upgrade the RSU -> 4.21 on the O2 site
You should read the different threads about that on the forum, so you can have the feed back of others, what to do...or not, problems, etc....
Thanks for your help.. I should have looked around a bit more. I have had a look at the ROm Kitchen and it makes things alot easyer. I keep looking about for more info.
Thanks again.
There is a tool to unlock your XDA made by the super guys here .. check the Unlock forum ... Hint: it doesn't work with ROM 4.xx

Does that mean that if I have a Locked O2 XDA and I install 4.00.11 ENG WM2003, my phone will still be locked?
Also, can I upgrade my O2 XDA 3.15.15 ENG to 4.00.11 ENG WM2003?????
Thanks Amit

Correct. First cook a ROM based on 3.17.03, unlock the phone using XDAunlock from Start/Programs/Phone., and then run the installer exe for a ROM based on 4.00.11 (for instance).

Yes you can.
Thanks Lads I've updated my XDA no problem.
I got a update to 3.17.03 from O2s website then cooked me a Rom update to 4.00.11 WM2003 in the Rom Kitchen.
The only problem i have now is that vodafone won't give me the settings for there GPRS connection because the phone isn't a vodafone autorised phone. Does any one have the settings for vodafone in Ireland? If so please forward them.
Thanks

This is the very essence of silliness. "I want to pay you money to use the service your business is about providing." "No, you're not authorized to pay us money to use the service our business is about providing."
lol
I got on to vodafone a gave them loads. So they put me onto there data support and he emailed me the settings and it worked. Why do you have to go through so much s**t to get what you want off companies like these????
Any how it's working fine.
Thanks everyone for your help!!
My XDA is running perfect :lol:
Hi, Could I solicit some advice please?
I have an:
O2 32mb XDA I
with 3.17.03 ENG ROM
4.21.00 Stack.
What Rom & Stack should/could I upgrade to? Can I get one with WM2003 (even with 32MB)? I’m not a total pioneer and would like stability. Also where can I get the ROMs from? I have backed up 3.17.03 using XDA tools and I’m ready to have a go…
P.S. my phone is patched for sim free operation as I use it with a Virgin pay as you go sim (T-Mobile UK)
Regards
Harry.
Harry,
No problem.
Use one of the rom kitchens, e.g. http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
WM2003 works better on the XDA1 than the default PPC2002, even on 32 RAM.
There are also some nice features in 2003, like separate phone and pc volume controls, a mute button for the phone, etc.
Regards
Brendan

Thanks Brendan i will give it a go, what Rev of 2003 are you running ?
Hi
I have a XDA I (with 64MB RAM) and I upgraded from the same kitchen above to Ver 4.01.16 ENG(lish) and it had been running stable on it since.
Seems to be a good and solid version altough it does have some uneeded (at least for me) T-Mobile additions.
Good luck!
Regards,
Gilad.

Upgrade to 4.01.16 PPC2003 went fine, Thnaks Brendan...
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

Hi
Thanks for your reply, is it as simple as downloading a rom ?
and is it safe to do so ?
I would rather leave it as it is if so
Thanks
Steve
I have just upgraded to wm2003se to get tomtom to work & it was very easy to do, just go to the above site & follow the instructions & "cook" your rom, once it was done, sit the xda in its cradle & run the exe file
Hi!
I am new guy here,
and whant to upgrade my O2 XDA to Windows Mopbile 2003 (2003SE).
My phone is runing now XDA rom version 3.17.03
Can you give me advise how to perform safe upgrade
of my originally nonlocked O2?
I have read that some people perfomed upgrade
without errors, but some have trouble to back to 2002 after,
or frozen after boot WM2003.
Its not clear for me and I think for some others here, why
on the same device, different results expected.
merci
