Hi dear xda-devs,
We just noticed that Microsoft published (silently) at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=a5a02311-194b-4c00-b445-f92bec03032f a Service Pack 3 for the .Net Compact Framework 1.0, on January 6th, 2005.
It corrects several problems, essentially a showstopper bug we had in a MFFA application for French Railways, the XML loading class is putting erroneous data in a Dataset. You can qualify this as benign OR critical :twisted: .
pls note that:
- this bug was related to .Net CF 1.0 SP2 ONLY (not 1.0 RTM nor 1.0 SP1)
- is in ROM in currently sold WM 2003 SE devices
- is solved by installing the SP3
- HP support folks in France were not aware of the RELEASE of the SP3, one week after publication. HP told me they might publish an AKU to dispatch the SP3.
We tested it OK on Hx4700, and on a QTEK 2020 specially modified for WM 2003 SE english. Thanks XDA-DEV for providing an image to us.
Btw, I've sent to xda-dev community a 90 € contribution today. Enjoy !
Thanks,

Gentlemen,
Firstly, Thanks to the XDA Developers for this cracking set of tools.
I am now thinking of upgrading my radio stack. But before I do that, has anyone else upgraded?
Are there any liksted benefits for upgrading to 4.21?
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

PS for those who have upgraded to WM2003... there are a few programs that you will need to upgrade from the manufacurer's websites... namely:
Cadenza mNotes
Microsoft Money for the pocket PC
These two programs dont work with WM2003...
There is an database patch for WM2003 at the Microsoft Web site. I installed it and these programs are working now.
Here is the link:

Hey
Thanks for the reply. The only problem is that the MS website seems to be very busy and I cant get the file...
According to Club-imate, the 1.66 rom update should be released sometime next week for those who are registered on their site.
Is that upgrade going to have the WM Second Edition in it.
Great, that's club I-mate, but what about Carrier Devices in Australia.
The tech support on their site in non-existent. Compare it to O2. I have emailed them twice about the update with no answers at all. In the past I have asked them about the updates posted at club I-mate and they have told me that these are for their Middle East customers only!!!???
I doubt very seriously that 1.66 will include the SE functions. I would expect at least a couple of months for them to tweak it for the imate before releasing it (if they ever do)
If the Club i-mate site recognizes your IMEI, the update will be for you. Carrier Devices have both English and Arab ROMs available (only the 1.52 ROM at the moment), so the information about Australian ROMs that you were given is incorrect, gbvb.
And no - despite the rumour, I believe it won't be Second Edition, which is why I haven't posted it to XDA Developers news as yet. I'd prefer to report on what it has when it comes out ;-)
new IMATE rom 1.66 to include WM2003 IInd Edition
Hi, just spoke with Suzan at the clubimate site and she confirmed that the new ROM update for Imates will be released in a week's time and will have the WM2003 Second Edition. That is great news and looking forward to it.

New Rom 1.66.00 WWE from I-mate
This ROM does not have the Windows 2003 SE. I just got the device (2 days ago) and I can assure you it does not contain this newest version of 2003 SE OS. It is simply too early for it to actually have it, as it was just released.
As for why the Device came with the ROM and the Club I-mate has not updated their site yet to download it for club members... this is anyones guess.
Maybe they are having troubles in the "Automated download-- Installation fault free as to not destroy devices" category....

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!
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 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)

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....
