I just did PPC Techs upgrade to 128mb Ram and new battery. I'd like to add 400.11 ENG WM2003. Can I simply go to Jeff's Kitchen and download .exe file and install it or is that too simplistic?
I had previously upgrade to latest ATT upgrade from Siemens a couple of months ago and have the A.20.17 version.
Thanks

No, life can be that easy sometimes.
WM 2003
Thanks for the prompt reply--I assume I don't need SD card reader and simply install as I did the last upgrade using Active Sync??
Nope, just put XDA in cradle and make sure ActiveSync thinks it's connected. Then run the exe, and you'll be all set.
But i thought the 128 meg install includes special drivers for the extra 64 meg space? if you did an upgrade to wm2003, i don't think you'd still keep the drivers? T2T if i'm not mistaken
PPC TECHS UPGRADE
I'm waiting for a reply from them--because the drivers for T2T were for PPC2002 and I think they have to be updated for 2003. I'll check that before installing wm2003
I guess I didn't read as carefully as I should have. The 128 indeed needs the special driver. I wouldn't mind having that driver to stick in the kitchen. And I'd also like to know if it does WM2003...
the driver has a built in serial code that matches your last 4 digits of the unit's #... so no users can share, (incase they DO their own memory upgrade)
unless...... u change the unit's serial id #
Personally I could never see the reasoning behind these internal upgrades, memory is relatively cheap, sd cards dont take up room when in the slot and also the card needs no drivers external to the system. Am I missing some hidden benefits? Oh by the way I also know that these hardware mods are done mainly because they CAN be done so I am not knocking the achievement of the programmers and hardware buffs.

Yes: the internal memory can hold programs as they are being executed. So if you have a 512 MB SD-card, the 32 MB internal tends to become the next bottleneck.

How did you get ram upgraded to 128mb ?
sounds interesting!
128mb upgrade
Go to: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/ppcpup.asp
They are efficient and savvy
I was thinking doing the upgrade but was stuck to the same question.
Maybe the solution is to send them the Kitchen exe file to load after the upgrade. Thus the T2T driver can be also loaded in the new flashed ROM.
The only turn down I see, is that you cannot play anymore flashing the unit. Or you do an SD backup of the whole thing first (?)
Where are our gurus?

The ROM built in the kitchen overwrites anything in the device except the bootloader. The easiest would be if we could just incldue the driver in the kitchen. But if it's tied to the serial number this would be difficult...

I agree but, since they are changing only the RAM chip (upgraded to a 128MB one) and not the ROM one, we can send in the unit already flashed with the Kitchen exe file.
Then the T2T driver can be installed by them (I assume in RAM). No ?
Trying to clear things up....

To be honest, i have no idea how they ship the 128 MB units. I suppose th driver is indeed in RAM, and probably also supplied on media somehow.
Anyone here able to provide details?
So, I guess the 64Mb upgrade is the way to go if you want to keep playing with the ROM?
i called them...
be it the 128 or 256... the driver is first installed and tested on site,
then also emailed to you. with the serial code being your pda serial #.
i got the 64 upgrade. just coz i cant afford more.
AND, XDA IS COMMING SOONNNNNN
...oh, i meant XDA -II!!!
october: tmobile germany release
christmas: tmobile USA release!
Hope this helps, this is a simple process, these instructions appear long and difficult because i've added quite a bit of detail.
Prepare Everything
1 - Download and install XDATolls http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAtools
2 - Connect your PocketPC and make sure that ActiveSync is running
3 - Delete all files on your SD Card (in your pocketPC)
Extract the ROM files & get ready for the upgrade
4 - Run the .exe file you download from Siemens, this will extract the files into C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility. Don't proceed with the install, just exit it after the extract is completed.
5 - Confirm the existance of the file C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english\NK.nbf
Using XDAtools (OS Image tool) transfer the ROM onto your SD card via your PocketPC and cradle (this is a new feature)
6 - Run the XDA OS Image tool (part of XDA Tools)
7 - As your source select the file C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english\NK.nbf (directory is selected by clicking the square button with dots)
8 - As your destination select from the drop down box SD Card
9 - Click copy to transfer the file, if it fails check that ActiveSync is running & try again
Re-flash Image using Wallaby Bootloader method
** THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON YOUR POCKETPC, you have been warned, make sure you've got a backup of everything you need.
10 - Plug your PocketPC into AC power & Make sure that your SD card is in the slot on your pocketpc
11 - Using the stylus top, hold down the left hand soft-reset, then press the power button.
12 - The bootloader should find the new ROM image on the SD card, press the action button to start the load (action button been the central click of the direction button)
13 - The load process will take about 5 minutes or so
14 - Once completed, use the stylus top and press the battery disable button, leave for 5 seconds then press it again to enable the unit.
Enjoy the new ROM, note that the first bit of any audio is played at a reduced volume, this doesn't help short ring tones nor fonix voicedial. Other than that the ROM seems quick and highly stable.
very good guide: question
do you know if this will touch the RSU?
no thats the whole point of copy'ng out the nbf file is that you dont mess with the rsu
which version is better?
thank you for your reply rudegar.
What version do you recommend for a SX56?
A.30 (cooked) , 4.01 (cooked) or the one released from siemens?
I heard that 2003 have some bugs, is it true? I have ppc 2002, is it worth the upgrading to 2003?
i dident have too many problems with my xda1 when i upgraded it to 4.01
org from tmobile
dident have a single SD card ereasing issue like some people report
but nor did i really think that the os was all that different
A.30 or 4.01?
What about A.30? what are the differences between both? which is better?
I have a problem which I just can not seem to get round...
1. I have an XDA2 running WM2003SE and runs A1
2. I do not use it as a phone anymore only TomTom 5 navigator
3. It lives in the car and is used only when I need TomTom and goes flat
4. The XDA2 reloads and my software is gone
5. WM2005 will not allow me to load TomTom 5 its just crashes on install and comes back with an error of something along the lines of unknow system (Operating System I suppose - WM2005)
So basically I need the persistant memory of 2005 but I cannot load the software. What do I do
Some thoughts I have are...
1. Install it to the SD card (is this possible)
2. Somehow get it to install on 2005 (no idea, it is driving me crazy)
3. Somehow create my own rom with TomTom already installed by default (how the hell do I do that)
4. somehow load the install files onto my SD card???????
Any help greatly appreciated, anyone else managed to get Tomtom runing on 2005?
Maybe you use the search. All your problems are widely disussed.
I cant find any addressing the tomtom and persistant memory
What I have managed to do so far though, is to copy the cab files for TomTom 5 to the SD card, so when it goes flat and reboots, I can reinstall them from the SD card in a matter in minutes. I think I will stick with this until WM2005 becomes compatable.
guys thi is my 02 xda mini
rom version:1.11.00 WWE
rom date: 03/14/05
radio version: 1.12.10
protocol version : 1337.42
ExtROM:1.11.922 WWE
guys do i need to upgrade my system? or this is a newer version?
im sorry to all cause im am newbie on my device...
kindly explain what available version on 02 xda mini,and suitable for this device
thanks to all guys..
Hey it's not the newest in the world, but might be in your country. The 1.13WWE from T-Mobile is newer, but than you'll loose all O2 extra's. & upgrading what's it worth to you? It always is the case of 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it'.
For howto's & rom links visit the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Magician
Cheers, M
That's strange. The O2 update for Asia I downloaded and installed carries the 1.11 radio version. Did you buy that unit new?
Anyway, except for the radio version, that's the most current ROM available for us.
hi oltp thanks for the info...i want to upgarde coz i want experience upgrading xda mini but its to risky he he he may ive change my mind...
hi oliver..ill bought it at 2nd hand...what version dou you have?is my rom version is newer?
There's always a risk in upgrading, see all posts with dead or help! in the title.
But it can be done & in your case make a good back-up of the ext-rom cab-files before going to think about upgrading to 1.13WWE from T-Mobile.
Regards, M

Ahh, that explains it. Your radio is more current, I think. If you're not having any trouble with that setup, I sugget you leave it alone.
Anyway, does your phone already have the Big Storage hack applied? What's the size of your Storage (Settings -> Memory -> Storage)?
I see...thanks oliver for the info
i have 57.41mb total storage
im gonna upgrade it to big storage/hows the procedure?
thanks
He meant what size is your internal storage folder? When you view the memory there's a tab to see the size of your SD/MMC-card. That tab can display the internal storage too.
M
i see....now i know oltp thanks
its 7.60mb
guys please teach me to do the upgrade of my storage..
if i get to upgarde my storage to big storage my xda mini will have extra speed?
thanks
No extra speed in the sence of Mhz. But you can store more programs there instead of in RAM & that speeds up your magician.
As always there are riscs in this :!:
Instructions:
- get ntrw.exe from the ftp
- Download romupdate from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=7510
- Download Hexedfull from the ftp
- get a SD-card > 64MB
- make backup of everything you want to keep from your magician & SD-card. everything will be wiped!!
- fully charge your magician
- uncheck usb connection in Act.sync on your PC
- put your magician in Bootloader (camera & power & soft-reset at the same time for a few seconds) wait till screen fades & reads 'serial v1.0x'. Screen is very dark since backlight is of.
- connect usb, now the screen reads 'usb v1.0x'
- start romupgrade on your pc
- pick the magician connection in the listbox, wces something I belief
- now a screen pops up
- type d2s in this screen
- follow progress on pc & magician
- wait till checksum finishes
- get SD from the magician & put it into a cardreader. DON'T FORMAT!!!
- put ntrw in C:\
- start a command window
- type on commandline: ntrw read myrom.nb1 [sd driveletter]:
- follow progress
- error at the end is normal
- make a copy of myrom.nb1
- open myrom.nb1 with the hexeditor
- Replace pattern for bigstorage in myrom.nb1:
locate twice the 02 00 00 80 00 20 and change 80 00 to b8 01 in both occurences
(use binary search for this!!)
- save it to mybs.nb1
- type on commandline: ntrw write mybs.nb1 [sd driveletter]:
error at the end is normal
- put the SD in your magician
- now it should read 'press power to flash'
- press the power button
- watch it reaches 100%
- checksum will always fail
- reset & hopefully enjoy the BIG Storage rom
Cheers, M
wow :wink: thanks otpl for the full step by step procedure...
im having 2ng thoughts to do it coz its so risky
anyway thanks for the help
Store the steps for later use & if you ever find a shipped-rom (rom upgrade in exe format from a telco) that you like, then follow the wiki link & use that method to obtain BIG Storage. With a shipped-rom a BS patch is exactly the same as a normal upgrade.

Thank you for your help

ExtRom= Mostly runs automati when this folder is on your storage card, there are some extra programs for windows.
