I recently installed the 2002 Special Edition Rom v1.2, and many of my qwerks were resolved. Now I am wondering if I should try upgrading to v5. Is it buggy for the SX56? Are there many benefits to v5?
Thanks!!
If you have Windows Mobile V5 for the SX56 i would install it. You will be the only one that has it...... ;-)
Until now, and i think there will never be, no version has released.....

Hi guys!
I'm currently using a Qtek XDA 1010 that's been upgraded already with the XDA Developer's Special Edition ROM. I'm planning to install the Windows Mobile 2003.
Questions:
1) My phone used to be simlocked, but due to the SER now it's openline. If I upgrade to Mobile 2003 will the simlock be active again? Hope not.
2) If I upgrade to Mobile 2003, will it have any negative effects on the radio functions? I've been reading notes that a lot who've upgraded their RSUs totally wrecked their phones.
3) Is it worth the upgrade?
Many thanks! 8)

tried the wm2003 for a day, and had a lot of issues with it... extremely laggy, hard to receive and make calls, call quality is bad (pops), and just plain buggy i suppose. was using 4.00.1 i think... Ali's version. Flashed the SER 1.2 instead! a lot stabler, but darn! so many extra icons? :lol:
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!
I recently purchased an AT&T SX56 and had it unlocked so that I can use it with T-Mobile service. It works great but it still has the old AT&T software on it Pocket PC 2002. I would like to upgrade to PPC 2003 which is available on the T-Mobile site, but I am concerned that flashing the device with T-mobile software will kill it. Has anyone had an experience with this? Will it work?? I can d-load the PPC 2003 from siemens for AT&T but I would rather have T-mobile.
Download it but only flash the ce rom part of it, dont flash the radio if you have a good working phone already, there is nothing there to damage your phone, people on this site have used roms from everywhere without problems, it is better to use the sd method for flashing using xdatools.
I tried the t mobile upgrade
but it told me my rom version was not compatible and aborted the upgrade. I have an att sx-56 that I unlocked by loading the special rom 3.17 ENG. So I'm running on that rom until I spot the next plan on here.
This rom is cool but can anyone tell me how to get the buttons to work when the phone is off again? Also the calendar language is not english any idea on where to set that?
Thanks love this site and the great people on here!

Use the kitchen at http://xda.weblink.net/ to cook a TMO 4.01.16 ROM and use the SD card method to over come the version verification.
Finished... for now anyway
Did as suggested above and then used t-mobile released version to upgrade radio... Now have the official t-mobile version of OS ROM and Radio. I miss the old special edition rom already!
Thanks everyone!

Sorry to bother but is there any (english) WM10 ROM existing right now? (expept wm2005)
Does the french orange rom include english (t9 etc..)?
Else, can somebody tell me which is the lates i-mate sp3 ROM existing? (i have 1.5.33.11)
Please provide a link for the Rom if you have one..
Cheers!
just got some info a new build of wm 2005 has been on the net...
OS 5.1.29 (Build 14728.0.0.0) this will be great again to try it out...
Here you got the lastest from Orange. It starts in Dutch by default, but you can select english on it.
http://dl1.rapidshare.de/files/3122224/52123840/RUU_1.02_OrangeNL_v4.2.3.3_Ship.exe
Is a official release, so i think this link is legal.
Cheers.
Orange has it own WM10 rom in english:
http://www.orange.co.uk/c500patch/RUU_1.02_OrangeUK_v4.2.1.1_Ship.exe
Where can I find the new WM2005 build? Does it work on the Typoon?
wm5 will work on the typhoon, it is not worth the upgrade. too many problems if you want to go back to 2003se. I would stick with what you have until you either see a non beta official upgrade or you buy a device with it on there. wm5 has made my life a living hell. i am stuck with it, can not get back to any version of 2003se at all beause i did not back up the old rom correctly. nbftools has been a start of understanding the parts of rom and the upgrade packages but dont upgrade to wm5

I don't see any reason to downgrade from WM5 on the Typhoon. It is at least as stable as WM2K3se but quite faster.

Spanish ROM?
Does anyone knows if there is a version of WM 5.0 available in Spanish?
Thanks.
I am a happy wallaby owner. I updated to xda v1.2 about two years ago...works great. out of curiosity I revisited the site, which has changed. I don't recognize the updates they are talking about....?
Is there a better os than xda v1.2 and if so how can I get it?
There are several ROM-Version based on WM 2003 available for the Wallaby, and also am WM2003SE (which is after my opinion not for production use).
You can get the ROMs here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions
or cook your own at
