I'm thinking of upgrading my o2 XDA to WM2003, it is currently unlocked and I am using the Orange network (UK)
My current Radio Version is : 4.21.00, with 3.17.03 ROM.
Is it possible to just upgrade the ROM and not the radio stack?
If I do this am I definatley still going to be able to make phone calls once upgraded?
I have NO SD Card at present, but am I right in thinking there is a method of upgrading without an SD card?
And one last thing, if it all goes t1ts up I assume I would be able to downgrade back to my current rom.
Many Thanks
:wink:
You can upgrade without the sd card. Just download from jeffs kitchen the .exe and it will upgrade while synched to the pc, it will not affect your radio stack. I would suggest getting an sd card, I backed up my original rom to sd and it has got me out of problems. Scan the rom upgrade pages for all the advice you will ever need on the subject.
I would like to use WModem on my AT&T SX56 (US phone) where can I find the most up-to-date ROM that would support this?
I have a SD card reader for my PC can I just backup my current ROM and the drop the new one on the SD card and upgrade from the boot loader?
I am also running MovianVPN client against my corporate Cisco concentrator will I loose this functionality with the new ROM?
Is there not a stand alone WModem that will run on the SX56 without doing a ROM swap (or another modem program)?
Thanks,
Julian
nobody have found a work around the program A problem when upgrading to wm2003 ver 4.16?
What's the program A problem?
the program used for upgrade done through active sync, usually when you upgrade to version 4.11 or 4.16 you'll never be able to upgrade though an RUU instead you'll upgrade through an SD storage card
are you talking about radiostack here ?
no am talking about the rom upgrade software
I think you've identified the workaround - you use an SD card instead of the installer program when the installer program won't work.
I think the SD card method has lesschance of going wrong.
I just read a post where someone's PC rebooted in the middle of his upgrade using the installer. He's hosed. The SD card eliminates this risk.
I upgraded/downgraded my XDA1 about 40 times. I did it twice using programme A method (both official O2 upgrades) and every other time via SD card. I managed to hose the XDA when my PC crashed during activesync upgrade - that's when I swapped to SD card method and never had another problem. At one point I was changing the rom several times a day to try different installed apps.
G'Day!
I managed to pickup a JAMin to replace my aging O2 XDAII Mini. (*I wanted WiFi)
But on setting up everything again, the SD slot has junked out on me in around 2 hours of usage from new!
Ive got 2 cards - SanDisk 2GB Ultra II & Lexar 256Meg - both of which worked for the 1st test, now both are not recognized by the phone.
My SD reader on the computer says and plays them fine. - In the ABOUT of the phone it says that the "EXPANSION SLOT" is not in use with any card installed.
I've tried firmwares:
1. RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
2. JAMin_WWE_2130923_21309112_020720_ship
3. JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship
.....With no luck....infact Im stuck on the RUU one now with the NBF file error now! and still no SD able to be read in the phone!
PLEASE give me guidence before this becomes many...many...MANY bits of plastic!!! :evil: :evil:

Try reformating your SD card in the PC card reader. It will erase all data, so back it up, but it might work.
Cheers.
UPDATE....
Thanks krale!
But the SD's work fine in my Magician and my SD reader.
I've tried that though...just in case.
No deal.
I've found a Telstra patch on the iMATE site in AU....and strangely it started to work for a bit.
It now will lock up for no reason and black screen.
Soft-reset will work, and I got to watch/try out things on it!!! YAYAYA!
Then 10 mins into watching a .avi show it froze and now will no longer see any SD's again.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
In order to get a repair I think I should downgrade its OS/firmware to the original imate versions. (The current one is a DOPOD).
But it gives me the ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY
This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer NBF file.
How do you downgrade the OS/Firmware versions?
THANKS ALL!!!
You'll be stuck in RUU (or DOPOD) ROM cause is 2.15.13.27 and it's newer than iMATE 2.13.09 you can't downgrade if you have uoyr PDA CID locked. You've have to upgrade to a ROM like the DOPOD one that you have or to one with upper number i.e. 2.15.14.00 but no to an older one.
So, ive read post after post on performing this task and it is still beyond my capabilities. My wallaby is running ppc2002, rom version is 3.20.06, radio version 4.21.01 protocol version 32s54. It's running bootloader 6.22, i havent got active sync, xdatools wont run due to missing dll's or some such thing. Have a 1gig sd and a 512mb mmc,,,,
How can i upgrade with this setup? visited rom kitchen (awesome site) and cooked up a rom, extracted NK.nbf,
Need help! Surely i can upgrade with this equipment,

Right, well got active sync which meens the dll's i needed are in system 32 or whatever. But,,, Does bootloader 6.22 cause problems?? Thanks for all the help,, sure this fone is a bit old but who cares. Massive screen, runs office, windows media, touch screen, great fone
Any suggestions? I cant be the only one without a data cable or cradle. At the end of the day i want the fone to run best as possible. I am thinking there is alot more compatable software for wm2003 then ppc2002? @ the moment im running mame and pacman,,,,,,,, Speaking of software, is the media player in 2002 meant to be slow? As far as video go's ive given up there.
what is your problem?
Problem is i dont seem to be able to downgrade from bootloader 6.22 to 5.15 so i can update the rom to 2003. doing ll this without a data cable or cradle.
Bootloader should not cause any problems.
Missing Dll´s for XDATools came as you have ssen correctly form ActiveSync. So you need to install this programm on your PC to use XDATools. Afterwards you will be able to wirte the ROM on your SD-Card and then flash the new ROM on your device.
So if you don´t have any cradle or cable, and don´t sync with ActiveSync, how did you manage your conacts,install software, exchange files, ....?

I see the confusion
I have card reader's on the front panel of my pc. So i am using xardit to transfer the bootloader images onto either an sd or an MMC card. So i transfer the patch with the NB2 extension on to the card. Cold reboot xda and it gets to the normal screen telling me i need the keycard.
I can use either xdarit or isoimagetool to transfer the .NB1 file on to an SD.
I have no data cable, so these are the only methods i can use. Just pc with multi card card, sd car, mmc card.
LumpiStefan, the rom kitchen is a damn fine peice of work!
when i had a wallaby i only ever flashed it using a sdcard reader
was pretty easy used ositool put the nbf / nb1 on the sdcard
after which the cardreader could no longer read the sdcard(that mean it's successfully planted)
then i put in the sdcard and entered the bootloader and it autostart upgrading
and when it's don i hardreset and thats it
Hi And thanks
I have tried this with a 1g toshiba sd and a 512 sandisk mmc, neither seem to auto start an update. I have browsed the web a bit and have found different theories on bootloader being a problem. My card reader is a panel on the front of my pc, or using my ngage. tried formatting fat16 or fat32. Im sure it's currently ppc2002 as this is the first screen after the o2 water screen
I think your problems come from your card reader. Many people have reported, that the internal card reader causes problems in writing the ROMs in correct way on the cards. I would s uggest to use an external card reader/writer.....
Stefan
and those are only 10£$€'ish
Thanks guys for your help, all up and running now. I appreciate the advise. Rudegar, my problem was getting the wrong info from elsewhere, the solution was the card reader, Cost me $9.00 au to buy one. I thank you both
