Want to upgrade to WM2003 - Help! - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

I'm new to this site and a bit overwhelmed. I have a T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone running Pocket PC 2002. I would like to upgrade to the newest Windows Mobile (2003?). I have been waiting forever for an upgrade from T-Mobile and then saw the link to this forum. Would anyone mind giving me directions on where/how to start?
Thanks!

Care to share? thats what the forums are for
this is a fake
Hi !
This seems like a fake to me...
The screenshots are all from PPC2002!!!
The GPRS symbol is the old one.
Jabba
No, it's a genuine document but using screenshots from PPC2002 as these are incidental to the installation process.
The Xda PPC2003 build is only available to selected O2 developers under NDA.

I found it here. Am I looking at the wrong software?

So, believe me, it is the wrong File. This is Pocket PC 2002
It is version3.17.03 ENG from the 15.05.2003
It works here on my xda fine, but itś no Pocket PC 2003...

I've just downloaded a ROM (version 3.18) for the DOPOD device (Same as XDA). On the website which seems to be in chinese or some asian language it suggests that version 3.18 is the pocket pc 2003 version. Pictures on the site seem to back this up. The screen shots shows that the ROM seems to have english support. Anyway the problem is that the ROM is in NB1 format. I don't have a SD Card so can not convert to NBF. If anyone is able to tell me any other way to convert to an exe so that I can upload it to my XDA it would be much appreciated.
if people want to have a look at the site the address is:
http://52xda.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=13&ID=3810
you may need to login which will mean registering with the site... just mean decypehering a bit of the chinese.
if you can't get to the above address, the downlaods for the ROM which are packed as WINRAR files are as follows:

AT& Wireless WM2003 Upgrade

Ok so bear with me here. I am very new to this stuff (1 week). I just bought a used Siemens SX56 for AT&T Wireless from a friend of mine. I inserted my SIM, Syncronized my Outlook and things are GREAT! I love this thing. But...I'm greedy. I want more. I want to upgrade to WM2003. Based on what I have read there are a few features that would make this baby even nicer. The problem is the following:
1) I don't know where to get the upgrade. Siemens no longer posts it on their Website and niether does AT&T. I have read some really advanced stuff on some of the other topic areas regarding loading the Rogers version but I'm not sure how to do this and I don't want to mess this thing up. Does anyone know where I can find the AT&T version of WM2003 for my Siemens?
2) Is it really worth the upgrade? I have seen some complaints from people saying that the wish they hadn't upgraded because it not a stable. Or that the installation went bad and messed up the ROM.
3) Is the Siemens/ATT version of the WM2003 actually the right way to go or is there a better version?
Sorry for the really dumb questions but like I said I'm a newbie.
Thanks,
J
Ok, I found it! this is the original Siemens/AT&T WM2003 upgrade. http://www.wireheadtechnologies.com/sx56/sx56_wm2003_update.exe
I ran this last night and it works like a charm. Be sure to have Activesync 3.7.1 and remove SD card. Took about 10 minutes.
good luck!
does your SD card erase after awhile
:lol: I was looking for this upgrade for two days until I found this site. Thank you for not using the link straight from the Siemens website and thanks for the file.

I've been using WM2003 which I cooked in Lumpstefan's kitchen for about 3 weeks with NO problems. (A.30.09)
I also flashed the RSU with the newest AT&T RSU ROM Ver A.20.10 from
Yorch: www.yorch.net > upgrades.
The only thing I don't like is the RUU from Lumpistefans comes with an add-on program "Pocket NAV". It causes the operating system to freeze, requiring numerous reboots. I shut down Pocket NAV, and no more freezing.
Have fun,
Carey
Light at the end of tunnel?
Hello,
I am really frustrated, I would greatly appreciate any help-
I just finished reading Carey's post about the RSU upgrade to A20.10 from Yorch's website. I have a sx56 (USA-MN) and in areas of low signal, the signal is lost and the phone will not reaquire signal until a soft-reset. The phone has the following config:
Upgraded toWM2003
R33.02
A30.09
l'm not asking for a guarantee, but do you think that Yorch's RSU download (A20.10) might work for this phone. Yorchi's site mentions unzipping the files from A20.10 into the \windows folder then running the RSUpgrade.exe. Does this mean unzip the files to a desktop PC then copying them into the \windows directory on the sx56?
If i've got the method wrong, do you have a link that you can direct me to regarding the method of installation?
Thank you for any help!!
I am wondering about the same thing . MY sx56 drops signal all the time in my apt and I am hoping the new RSU will help the sx56 latch on and hold on to the signal better.. oh well.. if someone has tried it please share your experience...

Upgrading to 2003 Windows Build from 2002 with xda rom

Greetings, I have been searching and can not find the answer well at least in non tech speek. Wiki FAQ will not open for me for some reason.
I have just bought a SX56 for my daughter it was locked on AT&T, we are not on AT&T so I bouhgt a un-lock on eBay. THe unlock went really easy but to get it to work I had to load a ROM that pointed here. Once I unlocked it I noticed it had Windows 2002 in it. I wanted to upgrade it to 2003. I have a disc that I also got from eBay for my 2 T-Moble phones I upgraded. On the CD it has an upgrade for the AT&T SX56. When I tried to do the upgrade it said it did not reconize a ROM image. So here I am.
1) How do I upload Windows Mobile 2003?
2) I see on this forum there is Win 2005 should I do this rather then 2003?
3) IF 2005 how?
My two trusty T-Mobile phone (wife and I have them)
1) I noticed the "new" phone has better reception then either of my other phones is it a better radio software build? If so how do I get it on my other phones?
2) Can I upgrade the T-Mobile Phones to Windows 2005 and if so why is it better?
3) If so how?
THANKS!
First of all, your are a little bit a silly boy buying an unlock out of ebay, because it's all for free here from this forum. But this is something completely different.... ;-)
First of all, there is no WM2005 for the Wallaby-Device you have. So you can not upgrade to it.
When you atke a look at the phone, that has a better receipient, which Radio version is installed? You can get most radio versions on our ftp-server
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wallaby/
But updating Radio could end your device in a paperweight.......
Also on the ftp, there are some "clean" ROM Images you can use for upgrading to WM2003. Or you can cook your own ROM at http://www.romkitchen.de
You can use the exe file and therefore you must only have a activesync connection between the PC and your device.
I would suggest you take the 4.01.12 ROm-Image....
Stefan
Oaky so I paid $3.00 to find you. Now I will donate 2x that because your help okay? <G>
So I now understand the ROM has 2003 in it THANKS!
Merry Christmas!
Built a rom made a donation and can't get the rom to load.
I tride to put the ROM in My Documents on the phone via Active Sync latest build. I get an error message that there not enough memory.
There is nothing on that phone yet.
Am I just stupid or what? LOL
You do neither have to pay for "my service" here, nor for my kitchen.....
When you have downloaded the ROM in exe-format, just run the exe file on your PC where your Wallaby has connected via activesync.
You do not hat to transfer the ROM to the device via activesysnc.....
Stefan
Thanks I made a small donation because of the effort you put in here not any other reason.
I will run the Rom NOW. fingers crossed.
Same error message, "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Cannot open C:\Documents and Settings\namedeleted \Desktop\rom.exe"
Please check the file size. Must about 16 MB.....
In the moment i have a little bit problems with my romkitchen. Transfer will disrupted after 90 seconds..... :-(
If you have a slow Internet connection (< 1.5 Mbit) this could cause the problem.
Stefan
I will kook another
No soup From the Kitchen
Just cooked a fresh one und, "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Cannot open C:\Documents and Settings\XXX\Desktop\rom.exe"
I am now trying the SLOW version. Some times I hear slow cooking is better.
Wow that is going to take a LONG time to download. LOL!
Download perfect and it is installing this time woooooo whooooooo
By the way Stefan are you a,
Multiplex
Graupner
Robbe
Or
Jamara
kind of pilot?
Glad to here it's working.... ;-)
By the way. I'm a one and only Multiplex (Profi mc 4000) pilot.....
No better choice availabalbe on the market 8)
Stefan
Incidentally, I thought I'd chime in as I have a Qtek 1020 Wallaby device with a ROM version of 4.02.04 dated 24/8/05 - I'm guessing that must be the newest one, would I be correct?
Regards,
Neil.
I knew I liked you!
I was the Multiplex importer to the USA for 9 years before Hitec bought out Herr Kussbmaul. Profi 4000 all the way, still the best.
Yes I am the crazy guy who had www.multiplexrc.com
I will be in Nurenburg for Toy Fair in Feb.
THANKS for all your help!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Please help!

Hello. Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I am new to flashing roms, and I don't know who to ask for help. I have an audiovox ppc4100 and all I want to do is upgrade it to windows mobile 5 or 6. Just something other than wm2003. I've downloaded numerous wm6 and wm5 images from this site (They are extremely cool looking from the screenshots I've seen!) but I cannot seem to get any of them to work. I am running windows vista, so activesync isn't available. Its the windows mobile device center. It would just be easiest if I could rom upgrade from my 2gb sd card. Is there anyone who can help me either cook a wm5 or wm6 rom for my ppc4100 or give me some pointers on how to do this (remember, I'm a newbie!) I would really appreciate anyone's help. Thanks so much!
-Pat
