yes...the only versions you cant upgrade or downgrade using the exe file is Tmobile ROMS
the 4.00.10 and 4.00.16
the others can upgrade using exe...

Hi ...
I cooked and downloaded a ROM 4.00.11 and tried to upgrade a Qtek 1010 ... the XDA restarts and and error message tells that "Can't open USB/com port ......". Some one here said it's normal and that I have to redo it many times. I tried it over 10 times and the same is still happening.
Do I miss something ??
Thanks.

I tried to cook the new ROM as .nb1 file and used the XDAtools from the kitchen ... same result
Could there be any ROM protection on my device ???? :x

Hi Biso007,
Look at the IDIOTS GUIDE at:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3171
and follow the instructions thoroughly one by one and you can't go wrong, it did work for me, I was in the same situation.
:wink:

Hi Ritmo ...
Thanks for guiding me to the IDIOTS guide :lol:
May be I should have mentioned that I wanted to use the easy way ... without the headache of SD cards and BootLoader !! .... :roll:
I thought the EXE method was made for the IDIOTS like me ... but seems I need more learning and money to be become an IDIOT
Any more help plz ......

It's dead simple... I was scared like you are, but if you follow the instructions as they are, you will see that you are not any more of an IDIOT than the rest of us.
In the begining I only used to play with .EXE files, there was/is no way out, so I had to resign myself to the fact of going to the next step, and blieve you me, if you do as the IDIOTS guide, not as bad as you may think.
The SD card and the Reader are not that expensive...
:wink:

Hi Ritmo ...
Does it mean to totally give up the EXE method :?:
Now I wonder if it did ever work for any one here ... or it works in certain conditions ??

The .EXE ones only works for NON T-Mobile ROMs. If by 'mistake' you get a T-Mobile ROM, then you have got to use the .NBF or .NB1 upgrade/downgrade. After that, if you download NON T-Mobile ROMs than you can carry on palying with the .EXE ones...
Hope it helps.
:wink:

Now I'm thinking to cook the 3.17 one ... may it will work and be the base for further upgrade ... any advice ???

Problems updating ROM, I need help, please.

I'm trying to upgrade my XDA with ROM version 3.14.16 GER (Model number PW10A1) with the upgrade file (v3.17.03) downloaded from O2 UK website (I mean, I would like to change the language only). When I execute the upgrade file runs ok, but after several steps occurs the following error: ERROR 007: NO ROM IMAGE FILE. Cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC.
I also have tried with XDA Os Image tool (downloaded from this web) with Source:...NK.nbf and Destination: Device Memory (via Programme A) but there is another error: Programme A not found -run with '--register' error openenig target device (but Porgramme A is installed on my PC).
Thanks in advance.

What language are you trying to change to?

Now it's in german, I want to change to english.

Ok I suggest you upgrade to the Qtek 1010 ROM
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads/asiapacific.htm
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
The D/L comes with both the ROM and the Radio Stack Upgrade last time I checked so just do the ROM.
or you can go with the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
either way your ROM will changed to English.

Thank you very much but I've tried the two ways. The first one doesn`t work because there is only the Radio Stack Upgrade file and with the second one I've got the same error than before, ERROR 007: NO ROM IMAGE FILE. What I'm doing wrong?

I don't know anything about the German ROM, but what about using the SD card flash method? It lets you get around the Programme A problems that occur with ROM's such as those from T-Mobile.

I don`t know very well that method. What I have to do? Do I have to do a copy of the ROM file to SD card first and then copy it to the ROM of XDA from the SD card?
Thanks a lot.

Basically I linked to the information necessary to do SD card flashes from this thread, as well as covering other issues with changing ROM's, such as with the bootloader (5.17 is an extra technicality) : http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3860. You will need an SD card reader which shows your SD card as an extra drive in explorer.
Let us know if you have further problems.

The wmodem appication is included.
I cann´t say it exactly, but the help file only talks about serial and infrared, so i think, there is no USB...

WHich Radio Stack version is incorporated?
Still 4.21 or is it a higher one? how can I distinguish this from the RSU upgrade file?

Rstack 3.23
I did:
From there go to your Start folder inside the Windows folder. From there find the link to the RSUpgrade file and delete it. (Don't worry about deleting a file, this is just a link to it and we will re-install a good copy of this file)
Now, restart your PDA. It should return to your normal desktop but with no phone connection as the Radio Stack is not installed. From here, place it back on it's cradle/usb connection.
Just as stated above by Matt, you need a copy of the RSUpgade installation or a ROM upgrade insallation that includes the RSUpgrade. Unpack this, I used Winzip to do this. Find these files:
monitor_ul_bs.m0
monitor_ul_bs.map
RSUpgrade.cp64
RSUPgrade.exe
Now, using Activesync, explore to your Windows folder on your XDA and copy those files from your Computer to there. They must over write all the old files.
Disconnect from your PC and run the RSUPgrade.exe file from file manager. It worked 10 for 10 when I did it this way so it should work for you also.
and ended up with radio stack 3.23.11 Protokoll 32S54
NO idea what it means for me going back from 4.21?

T-Mobile Germany released official WM2003 update 4.01.19 GER
Hi Stefan !
Work's great! And all other cooked app's too.
Only the AutoStart folder is not correct:
-Handsfree(.exe)
-poutlook
-SMSReceiver(.exe)
-Ussd(.exe)
This files (.ece) are now DLL's - I think the are called by a nother app.

Thanks for the answer.
I have tried to downgrade my RSU with this and it worked.
I am going to make a thread on it to announce it.

Stefan,
If you happen to hear of an european/asian (ie 900/1800) official rom on a 4.01.19, I would be very glad to read your thread !
Thanks,
Bob.

Help I'm new and need to change to T-moble from AT&T

I would like to intall the newest t-mobile software along with pocket pc 2003. I have rom version 3.14.03 and radio 6.16.

Are you sure you have a dutch ROM?
Which ROM Version do you have? And you are sure you have a Wallaby device?
Stefan

...Still need directions pls.

- Download a ROM from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions
or

(easiest way is using EXE-File)
- make a hard reset of the device
- reconnect the device using ActiveSync
- run the Exe-File on you PC
- Follow the instructions on your Monitor
- Enjoy the new ROM
