Upgrade my XDA (1) to New 2003 Software

Somebody plz help. Got a XDA 1 (A Version), and have Rom Version 3.17.03 ENG, and Radio Version 4.21.00. I am on the Vodafone (UK) Network and want to upgrade phone to new 2003 software. Is it capable of being done yet, and if so, what files do i need (or a link plz). Many Many thanx to all those who reply. Regards, Ronnie[/b]

www.yorch.net and please scan around the forum before attemting anything that may kill your pda.

thanx for the reply, i have been to that site but not sure which files to use/download. Any info appreiated, thanx, Ronnie

1. Go to the kitchen option on the left side menu. Select the base for your new cooked ROM ... ex: 4.00.05, or 4.00.16 ... etc
2. You should see the top screen gauge in red. That means you have to check and uncheck some of the s/w contents untill it's green.
3. Select the EXE method and wait till it's "cooked" then down load the ROM file. Connect your XDA to your PC using the cradle and run the EXE and follow the instructions.
4. IMPORTANT: better to have a backup on SD card befor starting just in case.
Good luck ...

Thanx, will that work ok with the A model?? :lol:

It worked for me. The difference between A and B is significant only for RSU upgrades not the ROM. However, official ROM upgrades do this check as well, but the kitchen doesn't .... clever developrs!!!

Is there any chance you could send me the 4.01.00 file, can't find it anywhere. I notice you have that update on yours, and radio vers 6.24.01, do you have that available too?? Will it be ok in the uk, or am i best just using the 4.00.05 one from the kitchen, and leaving my RSU with 4.21.00 vers.
Many thanx for all your help, Ronnie :?

I notice you have that update on yours, and radio vers 6.24.01, do you have that available too?? Will it be ok in the uk

One very important lesson, if you have a functioning RSU, do NOT mess up with it :lol:

Got it updated thanx, works very well, but cant get active sync to work now, downlaoded v 3.7.1 and still nothing. Any ideas?? Ronnie :x

what is your device info right now ?
what type of error you get with active sync and is it on the XDA or the PC ?
Hint: try another PC to see whether it's your XDA or the PC

Device Info is:-
Rom: 4.00.05 ENG
RUU: 4.21.00
Worked fine before updating Rom, not done anything different to pc, and now it just can't find the XDA...??
Not sure why.
Ronnie :?

Do these tests in order and check the result after each:
1. soft reset
2. reinstall active sync
3. another PC
4. hard reset

many thanx for teh advice, got it sorted now, had to re-install active-sync, now works a dream, and a lot faster too. Many many thanks to Biso007 for your help, this forum is COOL

TMOBILE USA ROM UPGRADE FROM 3.14 TO PPC2003
i have checked yorch and there doesnt seem to be a base rom matching mine. is there a way to upgrade to 2003. if not what are my options

It doesn't matter which ROM you have now. Just cook any 2003 ROM there and it will put you on WM2003 (unless your device is from T-Mobile, 4.00.05 is a best choice).
Good luck

I have the Offical O2 (UK) PPC 2003 (4.01.12 ENG) Rom!!!

I have just got my xda back from being fixed by O2 and they seem to have upgraded my rom.
Before I sent the xda to them the rom was simply the latest ppc2002 rom from their website.
However now everything has changed and my rom version is 4.01.12 ENG
This seems to be an official release form O2 as I have their auto configuration and boot screen.
My bootloader has also been upgraded to V5.22.
I have backed up the rom using XDATools and hope to upload it to the site although its approx 31mb.
This seems to be all official and what everyone has been waiting for however if i've completly missed the point please let me know (politely please )
As an added note I have two broken xda's for sale: -
1) A 64mb XDA with the above rom installed. The screen is smashed, and will need replacing, or you could just use the motherboard in another xda. The unit does not charge for some reason, possibly the fuse which is a simple enough fix.
2) A 32mb XDA with the above rom installed. The screen is intact, however will most of the time it will only display lines, you can get a screen sometimes but this is very rare. It must be possible to fix this, but its way beyond me. Again the motherboard has been tested in my other xda.
Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to make me a serious offer.
Thanks
Martin.

So how do the rest of us get it. Do we have to send our XDA's back to O2?

So did you uploaded the ROM yet? can you provide us a link? thanks
::adit

Don't forget the main question. Does this version incluudes the wmodem application????
Already wrote him a PM for getting this ROM. My Kitchen is waiting for it....
:wink:
Stefan

:twisted: :twisted: Yeahhh gr8 I hope this one would be perfect I want to try it

news?
any news,
wmodem, build number ...
i´m ready to give it a try

joking ?
is topic joking ? o never heard before about 4.01.12 rom best regard

i WAS starting to think that this guy is telling the truth but no sign so far... damn, all that excitement for nothing
::adit

unfortunately
after one day of hopes that´s it.
at least someone with inside o2 info can confirm/infirm the existence of an O2 WM2003 either in beta fase?

Official O2 PPC 2003 4.01.12 ENG ROM

thanks for the file, sorry bout my doubt but it took so long.. so anyone tried this yet? does it work with asian XDA1? im still downloading it. it will take some time for me coz im using dial up thanks.
::adit

great !
it IS real :shock: thanks Martin
how on earth we only found out right now ?
any insiders ? is it gonna be official or it's an old tryout from O2 ?
It HAS wmodem but I connect through Irda (i have no serial on my notebook).
Can someone try and confirm that it works on Irda on Windows XP
Steps for using wmodem:
1. install ircomm2k from http://www.ircomm2k.de/english
2. add a new modem (manual selection Standard 32600 bps) on the new com installed by ircomm2k
3. add to AT commands AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn","",0,0
4. create a new DUN with the number at *99#
5. use if there is any username/password
Mine works fine but I cannot connect. It does communicate and ends on "verifying password" step.
Any help ?

thats great!! thanks very much martin,what about the auto config? does it show any asian provider? such as thailand AIS, DTAC or indonesian indosat, telkomsel, etc? thanks in advance...

Normally this should happen Automaticly, since the CallerID.CAB fiel is int eh startup directory....
But it's a nice trick to get it working...
[edit]
Soory, forgotten to mention, that this ROM is now available in the Kitchen. I also tried to get the Autoconfigration working. Cooking went fine, but i didn't have the possibility to test it.
So fell free and test this ROM with Autoconfiguration......
Check http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org

Whats wrong?
Hi, i just installed the ROM and now it works perfectly well, caller ID installs automatically at the startup when the welcome screen appear after the upgrade? XDAMAN, what was the problem? i am using DTAC provider (okay, theres no autoconfig so i had to set up everything manually) everything works perfectly well? i feel its a lot more faster than other ROMs i tried (Siemens ROM, T-Mobile, betas, etc) the best ROM i've ever used!thanks again martin

XDA2 bought in Holland and now in Australia

I need an expert! I downloaded the RUU172126 WWE imate.exe file from iMate and tried to do an upgrade on my new 2nd hand XDA2 which runs on ROM 1.60.00 WWE. It will not load as of course the country code is not correct. Dummo didn't think about this when he purchased the unit. Do I do nothing or is there someway around this?

there is mate!
download ER2003edit.exe or xda2nbf.exe and change the operator..... since the language is both WWE for your upgrade and device...
only the operator would differ, that be O2 and I-mate...
so you have to change the upgrade's characteristics....
read ony DCS's posts on fix upgrades and downgrades
goodluck

Thanks very much Z man. I have one more request. can you direct me to where I can download the exe files?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/CompleteTools
here you go mate!

T mobile to iMate conversion
I am experiencing the 'country code error' and will use the ER2003 edit tool. What i dont get is how to change the country/operator as I dont have a code. imate does not exist in the drop down menu. Do I simply type i-mate in and proceed? Help me Zman or somebody I am out of my depth!

Downgrading...
Hi Zairyaab...
I've been following this thread, as I too have an original iMATE (XDA II) and have been thinking about upgrading to WM2003SE. I'm still a bit reluctant, as I've read throughout the forums that there are still "bugs" regardless of which version you use.
Since you seem to be in the know, and are willing to help... I have a question. If I upgrade to Wm2003SE as you suggest above, and find I am not happy, is there a clean and easy way to DOWNGRADE back to the original iMATE ROM? I suppose I would just reinstall the 1.72.00WWE ROM from clubimate (but would that work from a WM2003SE ROM?).
Thanks in advance.
-Kevin.

hey mate......
u can surely come back to original rom.....but trust me wm2003se is very stable and you wont feel like coming back to ur original rom.....milllllions of thanks to dcs mamaich.....and may other gurus and geeeks who have made it possible for us to use this rom ..... and if you think wm2003se is not gonna suit you then you need to check this out......

I-mate WWE to Qtek FR?

Hi,
> Newbie: first post <
First, I want to apologize if that kind of topic had been already posted (sure it has been posted!)
I've bought an I-mate JAM in Dubai and upgraded it with the 1.06 WWE Rom proposed on the Club I-Mate site in March. I decided to change that rom in purpose to have my Jam totaly in french but I don't know how exactly because there's a lot of different roms.
Furthermore, I've tried several times to flash my "precious" with the first Fr rom proposed here but after having done the reset (after doing "d2s 80000000 04000000 in romupdate.exe"), ActiveSync do not recognize the device and I can't continue (must be guest partnership, right?).
Should I downgrade that 1.06WWE rom to an older WWE Rom first?
If not, what is the precise procedure?
Already asked? Just give me the link.
Thank you very much.
PS: 'search' function already done.

No Idea? Still waiting for an advice.

here try this file to upgrade... just place this file inside the extracted ROM of your choice and run it ...... you will get a country ID error... don't mind the error just click ok and run the file again (notice that your device will be in the bootloader mode and you should keep it that way).....
and you will find the ROM you want in the ftp...
hope that helps.....

Thanks Papa Docta,
I had this file but deleted it like a noob...thank you!
So I can download the last Qtek FR rom instead of my actual I-Mate WWE rom, fix the country id with the file, and upgrade...
Seems to be easy...TOO easy? :?

yep... download the ROM u like, doesn't have to be the imate wwe and enjoy......
