You may use any ROM Updgrade, you may even want to cook your own ROM, but please do not think of performing a radio stack upgrade if your present radio is working well and giving you a trouble free service.

Hi guys,
I 'm in same situation but with higher versions, and can hardly wait to get a new 2003 ROM.
I can't just play with my XDA as I use it all the time for work and it's pretty stable so far. I just also can't tell that the ROM is 'totally' separate from the RUU in WM2003.
So the question is: is there any one here who has gone through a 2003 upgrade for Qtek 1010 to tell us his thoughts after the upgrade ?
I read a lot about the stability of 4.00.16 ENG, but all been written was for O2 R4.21 or T-Mobile R6.xx. Did any one in this region (Mid East) with R 3.2x went into this upgrade ? and what is the current status ?
Thanx all ....

Latest ...
I tried upgrading to 4.00.11 ENG from the kitchen ... no matter how many trys it just restarts and gives the same error message "Can't open USB/com port ..." ...
Do I miss anything ??

more update ...
Tried to cook the new ROM as .nb1 file and used Xdatools from the kitchen to flash my device .... same result :? :evil:
Is it possible that there is a ROM protection on my XDA ??? :shock:

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.

Samohile - Thanks. It is good advice to not mess with the radio if you can help it.
My only problem is that my device periodically shuts off. Then pressing the power button soft boots it. I cant tell for sure but it seems that this happens after an incoming or missed call. It seems that other friends using ROM 3.18.04 and Radio 3.25.01 (like our friend biso007 here) seem to have very stable systems.
I can try upgrading the ROM only and see what happens but the information at www.carrierdevices.com seems to imply that both ought to be upgraded at the same time. I notice it is an Australian site. Does that matter? Also, the version of the radio upgrade is a bit confusing, at least from its name. (Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe] ). I wonder what this RSUv1.15 translates into since the name of the exe file for the ROM is nicely descriptive of the version (3.18.04).
Any advice in this would be very welcome..

Well i am using WM2003 4.00.11 and its working fine for me no problem i cooked in the kitchen you just need to read arround this great forum for a whgile on topics such as upgrades and ROM to know exactly what you are dealing with and then you will able to upgrade smoothly.
:wink:

Hi ARZLEB
I read lots and lots about upgrade lessons but none of them worked for me .... I got an advice to use SD card with bootloader as it's the only working way. Now I wonder why the EXE method was created!!
I see that u got the 4.00.11 working. Did u upgrade it using EXE or SD card. Any help would be so appreciated ... thnx

Well i used the EXE methode the file i cooked in the Kitchen but i didnt change the version i left as 3 at the bottom of the page it works fine i upgraded from 3.XX to 4.XX then i downgraded from 4.00.11 to 4.00.05 then upgraded again all using EXE format so far working great.
i will be honest with you i know about the SD methode very well but never tried it so u have to make more search on this issue.
If you need anything more plz message me anytime and i will be more then whilling to help you step by step...

Faisal sorry for very late reply.
I have flashed my Qtek (bought in Abu Dhabi) with several versions of roms cooked in kitchens (Jeff's and Stefans's), but I have finally settled with ATT release wm2003 Siemens SX56 upgrade. It comes with most of the bugs fixed (except multiple reset bug) and is quite stable. I almost never have to reset it. You can flash the ROM only by SD card method though. You can try it. It's always a good idea to flash using SD card method. USB method using ProgramA is not very safe. I guess the network in Pakistan is compatible with the one in the UAE, so you can safely use it, if you don't mess up with the Radio Stack. My Radio is 3.23.01 and I have no problems with that.

UPGRADE WIN PPC -> WM2003SE

Hi!
I read lots of articles about upgrading device soft but i can't get it clear enough. First of all: is it possible to upgrade my XDA/Wallaby to WM2003SE? I know it can be done with XDAII but I have Wallaby...
If Yes, can somebody write a detailed description about upgrading it or just paste in some links where the description and files are? What radio etc you recommend and why?
Here is what I'm running:
Microsoft Pocket PC version 4.20.0 (Build 13252)
ROM ver: 4.01.16 ENG
ROM date: 02/04/04
Radion ver: 4.21.00
Protocol ver: 32S54
What can i do with that? Thanks in advance

You cant upgrade wallaby to wm2003se.

so therefore is it possible to upgrade it with wm2003? I looked at siemens site looking for update to wm2003 but it is no longer available... anyone having it? is there any news about wm2003se available for Wallaby any soon?

sniffer you have mw2003 all rom versions beginning with 4.xxx are 2003
all that are 3.XXXX are 2002

Not really true.
There is a WM2003SE Version for the Wallabys.
But it´s protectef by an unknwon key, that uses (i think) the IMEI. Until now it´s not possible to use it on every device, since this key have to be adapted in any way to each device....
Stefan

Damn!!!! and why the hell did they protect it with a key?!?!?
you mean that no one ever can crack that key? ohhh

1. Moved the topic to the correct Part of the forum....
2. Check ftp server here or http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
Here you can get a WM2003 ROM. Normally the simple process to update via EXE-File should work without any Problem....

I have a first generation TMobile PPC (PW 10B?) that has been upgraded to the TMObile release of WM2003. I saw on the Kitchen site the it can build a WM2003 SE ROM and I was wondering if my device will support the SE ROM?
Thanks

I HAVE to update to WM 5.0, I have to run some software that only runs on Windows Mobile 5.0.
I've been able to re-format to 31.01 MB memory. :!:

ROM A.30.09 date: 01/01/04
Radio A.20.10

There is just one solution for this:
Take a big hammer, smash it hard on your device. After all is defect, buy a new device (new model) with WM 5.0 on it....

Changing BASE-ROM for Wallaby for upgrading/downgrading

Can I change the Wallaby's BASE-ROM from 3.04.00 ENG Microsoft (WM2003 SE) to 4.01.12 ENG O2-Euro (WM2003 Final) ??? Because few people said that the 4.01.12 is better than 3.04.00 and Final should be better then SE. :?
And which is better, the Final or SE? And is there any possibility that Wallaby can be upgraded to WM 5.0? Is there any version of ROM that compatible with Wallaby and WM 5.0? :roll:
And can I downgrade the WM2003 SE to PPC 2002 (which is my old/first version) ?
Mine is O2 XDA 1, ROM Ver. 3.04.00 ENG and Radio: 4.21, protocol 32S54 CPU ARM SA1110 RAM with 206MHz speed, RAM 64Mb, Flash 32 Mb and flash chip type 28F128, model PW10B1 and PocketPC platform.
Thank you so much for your help. [/b]

Yes you can. You have to intsall the new ROM. That ends in having a clean device with th enew ROM. So all data now existing on the device will be lost.

Depends on what you want and what you do with the device.
I would say none of the ROMs is perfect. PPC 2002 is just to old ans some important things are missing, WM2003 has the SD-Card erasing bug, and the SE does not support Volume slider, ...
So you can try all of them and stay at the version that brings most benefit to you.

Thanks a lot
Thank you so much Stefan
... and one final question for you:
what will you do if you have an O2 XDA1 (Wallaby)? What kind of ROM and software that you'll put it inside your Wallaby so your Wallaby's gonna be the best/better (in your point of view of course) ? I just want to know your "mixed ingridients" ....
Cheers ....
