A poster at howard forums is saying he bought a Blackjack on Ebay and has a newer firmware version than the leaked version. he hasn't posted a screen but apparently got different wm6 numbers than the beta. if anyone here would know how to make a rom dump or something similar for distribution, heres the link.

apparently he'll be uploading the rom today but it needs an installer. still faster than AT&T...

I find it rather disturbing that on the new Telfort.nl site (that replaced the o2.nl site as of today or a little earlier) I cannot find any real support for the XDA. I wanted to check is there's a newer radio stack upgrade than 4.21, but all you can find is stuff about XDA configuration.
Does anyone know where to find the most current ROM upgrades?
Or can someone confirm that the ROM upgrades from O2 UK and O2 IE are the same?
Apologies for this rather n00bie question.
Let me apologize if someone has asked this before (however I did search and found nothing). I also want to apologize if I sound stupid - I'm incredibly new to all this technology.
The Device: I have a "Siemens SX56" which I now know has many other names (thanks to this website). My ROM version is R.20.11 ENG dated 06/05/03, my Radio version is A.20.10 and my Protocol version (don't have a clue what it does) is 324e4. My wireless GSM carrier is Rogers in Canada.
The Problem: I wish to upgrade the device from Pocket PC 2002 (currently installed) to Pocket PC 2003. Microsoft only allows the manufacturer to provide this upgrade. Siemens does not have an upgrade for this device for people using the Rogers product in Canada. They do however have the upgrade available to AT&T subscribers in the U.S.
The Questions: Does anyone know if I can use the Siemens AT&T upgrade without any problems? What differences are there between these products? I noticed that my ROM and Radio versions were not included in the profile list (they must be fairly unique) does anyone have any familiarity with them and if so, how are they different from the newer versions? Can I update my ROM version to something less unique and still retain my wireless GSM carrier? Siemens and Rogers have been thoroughly unhelpful.
Thank - you for all your help.
It is so easy to upgrade to 2003.
Over hundreds posts are in the forum about upgrading to 2003
If you still cannot get it, contact me to help you. I'm in Toronto, Canada
thanks cgigate,
I too read MANY messages in this forum about upgrading to 2003 but haven't found anything that dispels my concerns about upgrading a phone with Rogers AT&T as the carrier.
Can you provide a link? What file(s) should I be looking for?
Also, a couple of other things...
1. Is there a way to backup my SMS messages before the upgrade and then restore them after the upgrade?
2. Has anyone found a solution the the "increasing ring" or volume clipping that was included in the new ROM's?
Thanks again! PS. I'm in Mississauga.
Rogers is my concern
Thanks Cgigate,
My concern is the same as Guiness.... how will the update effect a Rogers phone? The Siemens website clearly states that the upgrade is NOT for a rogers phone so I'm a little concerned. I did search the forums for any information on this and found nothing to this specific issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Sean
P.S. I'm in Markham/Toronto.
Update
Well, Siemens finally posted on their website an upgrade for WM2003 for the Rogers phones. You can find it here: http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...C%2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda%2F,00.html
I downloaded it and followed the instructions. The Radio Stack was upgraded successfully, however, the thing pooched during the ROM update. Phone is dead - won't turn on at all. I contacted the Rogers guy I bought the phone from and he has sent it in to get reflashed.... crappy!
Hey senmc,
I just followed your link to the Siemens upgrade for Rogers users in Canada.
I did the download, full upgrade (Radio Stack and OS) and it worked flawlessly!
I'm up and running without any problems... except, of course, I am having the same volume issues that everyone else has written about.
I just went to the Siemens site.
It says..." the upgrade is no longer avaliable"!!!
Does anyone know where else can I find the upgrade?
Try this link:
http://downloads.rogers.com/wireless/products/phones/siemens/Siemens_SX56_Software_Upgrade.exe
Here is the update to WM2003 directly from Rogers.
(I've got some problems with this ROM used in the ROMkitchen. But in the original format it should work fine....)
For further Informations you can take a look at :

HTH
Boy oh boy I hope its down because they are updating it with a rom for the TyTN, preferably aku 3
Well I found a link somewhere on here which showed the latest rom I for the Tytn but when I clicked on it the site (HTC) was down. I think it was aku 3. I wouldn't be able to find it again, sorry.
Have a TyTN as well.. Could you post the link where to get the updates. Couldn't find them on the HTC website..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1035451#post1035451 well here it is. The site is in dutch but they have what it says there. Still working on seeing what ROM it is.
Good morning Everyone,
I was looking into information on updating my Cell phone ROM as after some reading and searching I found out that this phone is GPS capable (Why they would sell it with the functionality disabled is beyond me.) On the Official HTC website I did find a new update that was released 08/06/2008 at the following link. CLICKY! . I am wounder if anyone else is having a problem downloading this file and installing it? I receive an error saying the file is corrupt and I should download the file again. I have tried downloading the file from two separate computers, tried all three mirror sites (US, Europe, Asia) and last but not least tried using three different web browsers. Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari for Windows.
I am curious if anyone knows of another mirror site for this newly released update that is working? Or of another way I can update to the same version. I am unfamiliar with the ROMs that are on this website (I could figure it out but am uneasy about installing something unofficial.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I also noticed that the file name "-HTC P4000 (Telus)-Telus_HTC_P4000_WM6_07252007.exe" Has an old date on it? I am hoping they just rebuilt a previous update, or they have not actually posted the new update and still have an old one which happens to not work. Just an observation I noticed.
PSS: I have sent in a technical help request through the online process of HTC asking for a link to a working .exe but I tend to find that out of the norm requests such as this do not turn out very well with corporations whose support team are really only knowledgeable in standard help desk things IE: I'm too stupid to turn on my phone can you help me?
Did you follow the instructions here?
http://www.telusmobility.com/on/business_solutions/htc_p4000_upgrade_xp.shtml
I did a while back and it worked. If not, just switch to DCD's, it's awesome. Telus's 6.1 ROM doesn't enable your GPS.
Ya that is currently the ROM I am running, Maybe I am just mixed up. I looked at the HTC website for the TELUS rom and noticed the date for release was 08/06/2008 so I was under the assumption they had released an updated ROM that was a newer version then 2.13.661.2 which I am already running. One that would also patch the GPS (just a guess). However, I guess I will look into the DCD roms and see if I can fumble through the guides to get it loaded. Thanks anyways.
telus p4000 rom
I have a P4000 running on DCD 3.2.2 and Radio 3.42.2 gps enabled internet sharing enabled and many other stuff... this is just roocking the place.. Just forgot the official Rom and go for dcd you just have to follow all instructions be aware and youll anjoye all youre gona do with your phone
HTC P4000 rocks again!
Being half way through custom install (with all nightmares and mistakes ) I found this official update too. Confirm too: everything works as expected.
Took a while for GPS to pick up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, but the it worked like a charm!

2nd that. Upgraded from the old v2 and now to this one GPS and everything worked great with Google Maps.. I didn't bother stopping that customization thing like I've read in other post. Loaded that HTC home Plugin v2.1 on it and its fine.
Hi all, T-mobile just sent me a new Hero (G2 Touch) but I am a little confused with a few things.
Amongst other things, the phone states the following:
Firmware Version 1.5
Build Number 2.73.110.26
Software Version 1.0.0.A6288
When I go to the T-mobile web site it says that as at October 2009 there is a ROM upgrade. The ROM it refers to is version 2.73.61.5
I would have thought that considering I got my phone only 3 days ago it would have come along with the latest ROM. Or, is what I got the latest?
Do I need to upgrade?
Also, I have hreard of a ROM version of 2.73.405.5 is that different? It doesn't seem to be available from T-mobile.
Lastly, does anyone know how I can designate all application downloads to be stored on the SD Card rather than wherever they may currently be going?
I must say that I am a liitle puzzled about the file structure used on the phone as I am so used to windows as on the Diamond.

This is the CDMA (Sprint) hero forum, you probably would be better off posting your issue in the GSM Hero Forum.
