Okay, I am happy with the 2002 Special Edition Rom I downloaded from the kitchen., But am I missing out on any advancements by not going to WM2003final?
Does anyone with a SX56 have a recommendation for the best ROM for the phone?
Thanks.
It depends a little bit on what you want. If you´re happy with your current ROm, stay at this ROM.
If you want to get a usable WM2003 ROM i would suggest to use the 4.01.12 ROM.
If you want to have the newest ROM and also use landscape mode, but have some little difficulties, use the WM2003SE ROM
There is no possibility to say, this Version is the ultimate ROM Version.....
Stefan
So there are no major differences between 2002 and 2003 that I am missing out on?
2003 supports secure pop
The biggest advantage for me was that 2003 supports secure pop connections. The biggest disadvantage is the SD card erasure problem with 2003 ROMS. Hopefully this is fixed in 2003SE.

How about the 4.01.16, Lumpistefan?? Is it OK or it is slow or it has problems that 4.01.12 does not have?
Thanks!!

I have OZONE PPC2003 ver 3.04.00 and radio ver 4.21.
What are the most up-to-date reliable versions now that can be upgraded using the SDROM method. If you have links to these ROMS please let me know also.
I would suggest a 4.00.05 based ROM from thisROMkitchen.
Why wouldnt you use 4.00.10??

Because when I posted it 4.00.10 wasn't in the kitchen yet...
So is 4.00.10 as stable as 4.00.05 then ?
Also I have seen people saying they cannot get a signal when using Orange with this rom, anyone got any experience with that ?
Cheers

Well, I'm not on Orange, so I wouldn't know, but they both work for me.
I don't easily envision provider-related differences in signal reception between PDA ROM versions, this would be more of a thing that would depend on RSU (Radio Stack) version in my mind.
As for upgrading from .05 to .11 (or 10 to 16), I would say the differences are pretty minimal, I still use 4.00.05 on the phone I actually use, and I see no real difference with the 4.00.11 on my experiment-phone.

Have you experienced any of the SD card erasures yet?

No I haven't. But I must say my large 128 MB Sandisk is not often in there these day, I usually have an 8MB with the write-protect on in there because I often need to re-install something we're working on, and I don't want the automatic delete of the CAB files.
Rom update to 2003
:idea: :?: Would you advise to upgrade from the developers rom to a kitcken cooked rom 2003? If so, version wm2003 .05 or .11 (I live in The Netherlands)
I tried it once but then my XDA, when turned off, did not react anymore to my on-switch-button, also at one time the divice told me that I had insufficient memory on my SD card, which had in fact still 180MB' left, saying it was locked. Eventually found the rom kitchen for the 17.03 version. And was lucky to be able to downgrade it again..Had to reinstall everything and had to format my SD card. What a bummer....
I reackon it was due to software faulty installation???
When using the wm .05 on your device, did you encounter such an event?
I miss the 2003 dual function of my speaker-button and the extra features on the mailer (listing contacts on tapping just a few letters) and the calender extension on the today sceen....
When backing up, installing the ROM wm2003, pending your advice, and recover.... should everything work as it will now?
Awaiting your responce...
Greetings
I have a WM2003 (ROM version A.30.09 ENG) on my SX56, that I had upgraded after putting in the SER to unlock the phone. Now WM2003 is much too buggy for me!
- the phone rings just once on an incoming call
- the system hangs every now and then
- apps take too damn long to start up
- ring volume is not very high
and on & on & on.......
I'd like to upgrade something more stable - either WM2002 or 2003 (if there's a stable version out there). Did go to LumpiStefan's kitchen but there are several options within the 2003 ROM's itself.
Can someone pls recommend to me which ROM would be best for me. And can I put in a T-Mobile ROM into the SX56?
TIA
Omi
A30.09 is known to have some issues with the sound.
TMO 4.01.00 is a very good and stable ROM, and yes you can use it with SX-56 device as long as you don't touch the RSU.
Thanks Biso007.
OK, so if I go to LumpiStefan's kitchen and cook a ROM there and put it into the phone, I would only be changing the PDA OS (and not doing anything to the RSU), correct? Just want to be sure before I go and experiment
Omi
How about the 4.01.16 ENG ? The kitchen says that it is the official TMO release? Can I go for that, since it guess it is the most recent release ?
Omi
4.01.16 ENG is working perfectly!
I would strongly recommend this ROM.. its WM 2003 version.
AND, I recommend the SD Card method.. flawless installation!
Question regarding newer ROM for the SX56
I have the older ROM and have not experienced any problems with anything that was mentioned. Am I just extremely lucky or is thing something I should expect to arrive shortly, considering I downloaded my newer ROM recently from the Siemens Site. I use everything on my phone and have no problems at all, only sh_ _ _ _ signal strength, damn AT&T! I would switch but still own then a year on my contract, so I won't go on and on about that.
Please let me know the pros to this newer ROM, at least in terms of stability and performance, if that is possible from someone that has loaded it.
Oh - one more Question...
Would I have to reload all my installed applications after flashing my ROM, or can I simply back them up and then restore them from backup without having to enter all the keys, and licenses that you would normally have to put in on the installation?
Thanks!

Some people encountered problems with 4.01.16, so I didn't want to risk especially that when I checked the system files and DLLs of this ROM I found that they are dated the same as the 4.01.00 ones!!

I 'm refering to A30.09 and its known sound bug (clipping) ... which ROM you mean ??
Wokay, 4.01.00 it is then
Thanks everyone, especially Biso007, appreciate your help.
Omi
Thaks everyone for your help, successfully upgraded to 4.01.00, though i lost all my contacts :-(
I had backed them up on a SD card and when I tried to restore that after upgrading, nada!
any ideas how i can get them back (i didn't sync with oputlook before the upgrade).
Omi
SD backup can be restored only to the same ROM version
It's a silly task if you really want your contacts back (long list I mean) .. flash your ROM to the old version, restore the SD backup, sync with outlook, flash the new ROM version, sync with outlook again ...
Don't you think that keying your contacts is easier ??
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.
Hi,
I have an O2 XDA and am wondering which OS version is best for it. I have tried many ROMs from LumpiStefan's site. Main problem with WM 2003 and 2003SE is the SD card deleting or dissapearing.
Looking at the listed versions of the WM 2003 ROMs am I best to stick with the O2 Rom ie. 4.01.12 ? Or are they all OK?
I think the original model is a 10A but it chages to 10B with some of the ROM upgrades.
As much as Iknow all WM3003 (SE) Images has the problem with SD-Card erasing. But I noticed this phaenomen just once.
Yes, I think the 4.01.12 is the best WM 2003 ROm, available for the Wallaby
The model change from PW10A to PW10B is fixed by a value of the ROM, but this causes no problem.....
Stefan
Quick question for all you pros out there. I just purchased the att version of the siemens sx56. Will receive in mail shortly. I want to upgrade to wm2003. As this is the 900/1900 verision, is it ok to use the qtek Rom 4.02.04. From what I understand the qtek 1010 is a 900/1800. Will this cause any problems?
Also is the t-mobile rom 4.01.16 any better than qtek rom?
Selecting any ROM causes no difference to the radiostack of the device. So you could take any ROM you want.
Selecting the ROM depends a little bit on the way you want to use the device.
The T-Mobile ROMs often have the Problem of reflashing the device. My personal
favorite is the 4.01.12
Stefan
Thanks for the quick reply. I will be using the internet a lot primarily through gprs and just want a stable Rom that wont hang or give me crazy problems.
What exactly about the 4.01.12 rom do you like over the others available?
I like the wmodem application of the ROM, also reflashing is easy possible.
And it´s one of the ROM´s that was nearly official announces by o2...
