XDA w/ ppc2002 upgrade request help to 2003

Hi,
This probably the most asked question here yet I have one thing thats different to the others from what I have read.
I live in Australia, my 02 XDA ppc isnt sim locked or anything however my issue is related to the o/s I have ppc2002 I wanted to upgrade to 2003 and found a file for download and am unaware if this file is the correct file to download for upgrade to my XDA?
I also know I need a radiostack which will work on my XDa once it has been updated to 2003.
2003 file @ http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/PPC2003PE.nb1.zip
Radiostack which will work for me?????
Any help would be appreciated aswell as telling me what are the neccessary files on my PC to use to flash the ppc phone edition via my USB cradle also.
Any other info should be available with my profile.

Hi,
if ur phone works fine in making/receiveing calls, then all u need is a ROM upgrade. goto the kitchen at www.yorch.net and cook a ROM based on 4.00.05 ENG. select the file to be an exe file. download the file to ur PC and connect the xda to the cradle and make sure it's connected to power. run the exe and follow the instructions.
good luck

Hi,
Thanks Biso007 for all your info/help.
I am currently downloading the file that I 'cooked' as I type this out however one thing I was not sure about was in the string section was I to change the string to 4.00.05 as it was set on 3.16 ...
I did change it and its downloading I assume there should not be any issues.
If there is any concerns or if I did the wrong thing by that please inform me... BTW the file was made into an .exe.

Hi,
I visited www.yorch.net and 'cooked' my own ROM made it into an exe and have it downloaded right here it's a 4.05.00 rom flash but I have to ask what software can I use to flash the unit with because I do not have an SD card so I am stuck using my PC to do the flash, I have the official backup files for my ppc from 02's site so I am ok I guess if all else fails i will flash back to what I am currently using.
I wanted to flash the rom onto my ppc however what software can I use? I tried Microsofts Sync software I have 3.7 but it doesnt allow me to flash as it gives me an error message.

Any help would seriously be appreciated, but what is the compatible utility?

unfortunately this is a known issue with some ROMs that can't accept the exe method. you are stuck with the SD card upgrade.

Will adaptrom not work for this?

Can someone confirm XDAtools does not work with WM2003

I am trying to test out XDAtools and using the WM2003 AT&T rom but keep encountering problems trying to load my rom via programmeA I have had some help from others (see below) but it seems that XDAtools cannot manipulate WM2003? Can this be confirmed and if so I'll abandon this test.
Thank you Cgigate and ebswift maybe this is why I am encountering problems with my download and restore of my ROM. I inadvertently choose a WM2003 AT&T rom to practice with. Maybe I should have chosen a PPC 2002 ROM to test??
I thought I had a problem with XDAtools and that I did not have all the correct links/files in place. Maybe I should dump my ROM and try restoring a PPC2002 and then re try my test. Thanks again guys.

it worked for me
For your info, I used XDATools and Program A to burn AT&T latest ROM. I then flashed back to XDA Developer's SE ROM in order to unlock my phone. When that was done, I reflashed the AT&T ROM. All without hasle.

Did you use bootloader or ProgrammeA ?
Thanks viERJA when you say flash do you mean copied to the SD/MMC card and used the bootloader to load ??

i had 4.00.05 before and used XDAtools to upgrade to 4.01.00 without problems.

well since if you copy the rom to a sdcard and upgrade the rom using the bootloader then xdatools cant really be incopatible with mw2003 since it's the bootloader which do the updating and xdatools does the same thing to the sdcard if you are updating to 2002 or 2003 to and from 2002 and 2003

Good point Rudegar
Good point Rudegar, therefore XDAtools is not being used in the context of elimination of the SD/MMC method. John

USB connection fails using .exe (Code 43)

Hi all,
I have been trying to get my Qtek 1010 upgraded to the WM 2003SE ROM.
I did the downgrade to 2002 as per the instructions on Lumpi-Stefan's site by SD flash.
When i run the 2003se .exe i get an error as the Qtek is supposed to go into flash mode (the screen where you get the progress bar as the new ROM loads). I can see the progress bar for a split second and then the device just reboots.
In Windows Device Manager there is an error (Code 43) on the HTC USB Device - i've researched the error code and all the descriptions of what cause it are really vague.
I also updated all my laptop drivers, incase it was a driver error, still the same problem, tried it on 2 other machines, and the problem persists.
For this reason i think its an issue with the Qtek 1010 itsself. I tried a 2002 ROM exe and i get the same error, but any SD flash works just fine!
My Bootloader version is 5.22, and the ROM currently on the 1010 is the one recommended by Lumpi-Stefan 3.17 i think.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how i can fix / get around this?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Upgrade Powermap ROM with Vista 64 (=without activesync) but windows mobility center

Hi Folks,
I tried to upgrade my P3300 to the nice Crossbow looking Dopod P800W rom.
It's an exe file and gives the following 2 problems:
1> Rapi.dll not found (activesync nescessary)
2> Sleep4.exe is not compatible with Vista 64
I tried to install,but cannot due to that windows mobility should take over the activesync function. I also put the rapi.dll in system folder but not solved.
I extracted the Powermap.exe rom and found the powermap .nba file.
Is there any method to put this rom image on my HTC without activesync ?
I wonder if anyone tried to upgrade rom through Vista and had the same 2 above errors and how it was solved?
Powermap rom looks awesome, and maybe a solution for us P3300 owners to enjoy the Crossbow look already. If HTC puts the crossbow rom on their downloadsection it would be great offcourse. Let's hope.
I hope I don't need to put XP again on a partition to perform this rom upgrade or visit a friend. I think the reason maybe is that this powermap rom was made when vista was not released yet. It still is based on activesync.
Thanks,
Innovator

suggest you do your upgrade on Windows XP machine (ie visit a friend). then you can use your device on Vista. i heard, it is technically possible to do upgrading on Vista, but as experience of many people shows it's not a straightforward thing. try searching these forums for "vista" and you'll see what i'm talking about. it's relevant to all devices, not only 3300/ good luck!

Let me remind you guys that there is problem with restoring from backup file on PDAMobiz ROMs (I use Spb Backup). Make sure you have it sync with Outlook on your desktop !!!!!!!!!!!!!
