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

Stefan

>>>http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org <<<

Please help, please!

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

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......

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

HI,
I had spent lot of time searching for WM6 ROM for my imate ,while doing that I came across Qtek ROM namedas WM6 . After installing i came to know that it was a WM5 rom named as WM6. But i didnt gave up and after searching XDA i got actual WM6 rom and I uploaded it. The Version details of WM6 are :

Thanks for such a quick reply. Also i would like to know what are the steps to be folowed whiles downgrading. I mean do i run NoID ROM first and then execute Enterbootloader.exe and then Romupdate utility for my G4. Kindly excuse if u find my questions silly, since i have not much knowledge into all this and i am only being concerned about my Imate.
