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

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

Stefan

great !!!!
i test it in this afternoon it have a bug in this rom .... may be A30.09 much more better thx for kindly
martinbickley
ps. i check in rom update O2. it have 3.17.03 only where is 4.01.12 come from ? ....

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
::adit

too slow and unstable for me
hello adit ,, i live in bangkok too <<< may be we can met and talk about xda ( i have a lot of program for u ...free hehehe )
i decide to cook this rom from stefan kitchen ... and it's no have bug anymore ... Great . i garantee it.
but i didn't check battery lifetime .. who can tell me . is 4.01.12 better than other rom .. ?
ps adit please u email to me at [email protected] ? may be i have a new xda user friend... : )

I'm really in love in this forum :lol: Thanks to Martin for uploading this new Rom and to Stefan for the hard work on his Rom Kitchen.

Windows Mobile SE - Any news or confirmed screenshots...

About a week ago we were all getting excited about the XDA II & SE and all the new product anouncements........ and..... its all gone very quiet....
Does anyone have any updates, a confirmed release date, or screenshots to confirm its going to happen ?

The latest news has O2 not releasing the SE update for XDA II devices. (File under "ways to lose repeat business and word of mouth.")

Yes, but they *are* releasing SE for the XDA IIs and IIi. I doubt it'll be too hard to port the ROM accross, as they're basically the same hardware with a little added WiFi and keyboard.

WM2003SE
No any news!!!!
if manufacturer release rom for WM2003SE, it will kill the market of XDA2s & XDA2i models which will roms on WM2003SE.
let's hope WM2003SE for our device!!!.
and now !! FORGET IT about SE !!!!
thanks

Can we cook a ROM for the MDA 2 based on SE?
Hi folks:
I don't need the little keyboard and I don't need Wi-Fi. But I do need the landscape rotation on the fly (Nyditot does not quite do it). Of course, the solution is a ROM cooked with SE as its base.
Can this be done?
Thanks,
Fernando

there is no such thing as people being able to cook with a basic windows ce version
all roms ever installed on our devices have been modified versions of roms released from htc
pocketpc is not like windows where you can install it on different pc's with different hardware
all drivers are hardcoded and all devices must be present and the same
thats the reason you cant install a xda2 rom on a xda1 or a ipaq rom on any of them
and people cant install xda3 on the rest of them
so unless they as in htc (o2 tmobile ...) release 2003SE to xda2 and xda1 then i dont see it happening

I have an XDAII ROM running perfectly on my XDAI
And have every intention of trying to upgrade it to SE when somone takes the ROM off the XDAIII and it shows up in a ROM kitchen.
Yes it may invalidate my warranty and some inbuilt utils are useless(WLAN / photo / bluetooth) on the XDA I - but overall it will be an upgrade to have landscape capability and other inclusions.
Just because it's not an official upgrade does not mean that the smart folks here won't find a way to make it work ( but at your own risk)!!

which version is that ?
1.60? 1.66? 1.72 ?
i've never heard anybody doing that before
are you sure you just dont have a 2003 xda1 rom on your device ?

Good point -
I should have been clearer.
It is ROM version 4.00.05 which I had cooked from a kitchen.
I have recently cooked another ROM with base version 4.01.12!
Will this not work on the XDA1 then?
Please advise as I have not yet installed it.
Do you feel that the WM2003 SE will not be able to be ported to an XDA2 as an upgrade unofficially??
Jayman

yes it will as will all roms made in kitchens
there are no kitchens for xda2 roms because they use the extented rom to store special programs and cant have them cooked the way
xda1 roms can so you can install that rom just like the one you already have

Thanks for clearing that up.
So do you think this community will be able to find a work around to port WM2003SE to the XDA2?
As it will effect my hardware upgrade path decision.
Thanks
Jayman

Well, the WM2003 Se has no effects on ur GSM part, you can flash it dont worry, thus you can still be using the same RADIO rom which is on ur PPC.

well, ive wm2003SE O2XdaII_WM2003SE_Asian_Edition.. but i cant access to net, i got also Mobinil_Egypt_PPC cab for Extended ROM but i cant modification, can u tell me how to do this..
thank u
by the way ive imate pocket pc phone edition.

If your pocket pc phone is imate, you can download the latest rom upgrade (including the extended rom for Mobinil Egypt) from imate customer support site "www.clubimate.com" You will need to be a member, which can be done by sending your phone's IMEI number.

Pls help NEWBIE @ work

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

Upgrade to WM6

I have X-tel ONE PDA
which is 64/128 RAM/ROM
520MHz WM5
and I need to upgrade it to WM6
How I can do that ????
From where I can download a stable version of WM6 that's Support my device ??????????
Thanks in advance

You probably cannot just download WM6 for that device. If you want WM6 you will need to cook a rom (create a rom for your device) or get someone else to do.

HI!
sorry to reply to an old thread..
i also have an xtel one phone, and am also looking for wm6 update, or atleast an aku3 for wm5.
Seems like support for this phone is waaaaaaay low, but i read somewhere that it is very similar to a Hyundai pda.
