Hi
Thanks for your reply, is it as simple as downloading a rom ?
and is it safe to do so ?
I would rather leave it as it is if so
Thanks
Steve
I have just upgraded to wm2003se to get tomtom to work & it was very easy to do, just go to the above site & follow the instructions & "cook" your rom, once it was done, sit the xda in its cradle & run the exe file

Hi all,
I've searched this site & the whole net for the new Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition ROM, but unfortunately I didn't find any kitchen for it! :?
I've heard that many people are using it now on their XDAs!
Can anyone tell me where can I find those ROMs??
Thanks alot..

Did you get anywhere? Im looking for advice on upgrading from PocketPC 2002 on my uk O2 XDA.
I found the free upgrade from PPC2002 to Windows Mobile 2003 (AT&T services) on this site, but it updates not only the operating system, but also the radio stack:
http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda_DADS,00.html
Afterward, I wanted to unlock my phone and used the xda-developers special edition ROM. I guess it put the older PPC 2002 back on my XDA, but unlocked my phone AND I have fabulous reception where I had no signal before! Some of the new things from WM2003 are gone BUT I have great reception. The WM2003 nk.nbf file left on my computer is just under 32MB, and that is, I guess, the actual operating system upgrade w/o the radio stack changes the link above gave me. Trying to be brave enough to load it back onto my XDA... as I don't want to lose the fabulous reception I now have.

No such thing called XDA version Windows Mobile 2003 SE.
It doesn’t exist.
Windows Mobile Second Edition? Not until summer/fall.
Microsoft is suppose to launch the second edition of Windows Mobile aka Pocket PC 2003 towards the end of summer/beginnning of autumn. The only device they've announced to support the updated OS is the Motorola MPx200. Until it's release, Windows Mobile is the most recent OS for Wallaby devices.
WIN 2003 SE!
ah ok, so the new Windows 2003 SE has not been released yet!
I have the Microsoft Windows 2003 SE emulator images, but i guess it won't work for any device! I can only use the SE version on emulator, so thats why I was wondering if they've released it on real devices!
so what about the latest ROM version for XDA I??
I have found that 4.01.16 ENG (from http://xda.weblink.net) is the latest Windows 2003 ROM among all the kitchens!
Is there any newer version ??
I also found a ROM called A.30.09 ENG.. What does that mean?? Does this ROM works on XDA I ?
Thank you all
4.01.16 from T-Mobile or 30.09 from AT&T are the latest WM2003 ROMs available for XDA I ... however, A30.09 has a silly sound issue (clipping).
Well, I believe the SE edition has been released. Is there any way for us xda 1 users to get this thingy working on our units?
the SE is released for OEMs only ... it's a matter of time before it's commercially available especially the PE
ThAnKs dude I will install the T-mobile 4.01.16 ENG then..
FYI: I've seen WM2K3SE running on an XDA I device at the MDC last week in use by a MSFT. I was not able to inquire as to it's functionality as I'm sure it isn't optimized yet - much like the beta version I received for my hp iPAQ h2210.
Pity you didnt get a rom dump on an sd card
oh yes, good idea to take an image of the installed ROM on SD card!
I am going crazy searching the net for win2003SE!!!! I can't find any
I just have it on my emulator, its fast & i guess its well optimized more than previous versions!
All, first off, much thanks for the help on unlocking my Wallaby. I used XDA Tools and the Special Edition ROM. This is a great site!
I've been searching but cannot find an answer to my question. Is it possible for me to go back to Windows Mobile 2003 after this unlock procedure and still KEEP the unlock?
I ask because even though I like most of the features of XDA build, I don't want ALL of the programs and I like some of the features in WM2003. I separately downloaded the added apps that I want such as the scientific calculator and will load those individually.
Can someone please clarify this for me???
Many thanks in advance!!!!!
You can go to wm2003, the phone will remain unlocked.
back to 2003
this is the 2003 siemens radio and rom upgrade

Awesome, thanks, I'll try it now!
hi guys just got mine siemens sx56 known as wallaby
i would like to upgrade it windows on it and softwear as well
when i turn on the phone gives me this
ROGERS
in the bottom right corner it says
g1.3.3
ra33 .03
r30.07
what does all that mean?
like i said i'm very new to this site and would like to get a step by step from some of you more experianced people
i found out that my pocket pc is ver. 4.20 (build 14053)
1996 - 2003 copy right
what windows is in this ? cause i can't play any MIDI files as ringtones
thank you for your pationts with a new comer like me
There are not many ROMs that are newer than yours, so i would stay at your current ROM....
For adding Polyphone Ringtone support try adding the content of the ZIP-File in your Windows directory on your device.....
Stefan
hi thx for the reply but as me i went ahead and upgraded it to win 2003 se ... but now the battery life on that is so low
what do u recomend me do now?
Visit http://www.romkitchen.de/ , cook your own ROM (i would suggest 4.01.12 ENG) with some application included and be happy....
WM 2003 SE is not very workingfriendly, cause it has some bugs in the Wallaby version....
Stefan
thank u very much for ur help
but as for Poly ringtones ... i still can't get the phone to play *.midi or mid files ... any sugestions?
or even set them as ring tones ... i have to convert the midi files to wav and that takes up alot of space

Many thanks for the reply Stefan, Is WM2003 SE the one i need + do I need to select any other options before downloading the Rom ?
James
I would choose WM2003 final 4.01.12 ROM.....
Stefan
Hi Stefan, i have a few more questions just to make sure I know what I am doing.
1) Which Rom do i install first is it the Special ROM or WM2003 Final.
2) When it comes to the upgrade i take it i just connect the device using Activesync via my USB cable and then run the start.bat ?
Thanks for all the help.
James
First the Special-Edition ROM for unlocking, then the WM2003....
Yes, just connect your device via Activesync and run the Exe-File......
Stefan
