Hello
Please find this link for upgarde instructions for XDA which was posted at www.sourceo2.com click
here
If this link doesn't work for any reason i have mirrored the file somewhere else, cause it might require login details

This upgrade is only for evaluation purposes, to confirm application compatibility with Pocket PC 2003. It is not the commercial release of the software, and cannot be made available outside of O2 to customers or end users. as the instructions file says
A new release of the OS, customised for O2 xda, will be available later.
This software download is only available to those approved O2 application developers who have been preselected to test prior to launch.

Hi othman !
In O2 website is nothing about PPC2003.
I am wrong or it is joke ?
Sebi

Care to share? thats what the forums are for

this is a fake
Hi !
This seems like a fake to me...
The screenshots are all from PPC2002!!!
The GPRS symbol is the old one.
Jabba

No, it's a genuine document but using screenshots from PPC2002 as these are incidental to the installation process.
The Xda PPC2003 build is only available to selected O2 developers under NDA.

PPC 2003
I found it here. Am I looking at the wrong software?

So, believe me, it is the wrong File. This is Pocket PC 2002
It is version3.17.03 ENG from the 15.05.2003
It works here on my xda fine, but itś no Pocket PC 2003...

I've just downloaded a ROM (version 3.18) for the DOPOD device (Same as XDA). On the website which seems to be in chinese or some asian language it suggests that version 3.18 is the pocket pc 2003 version. Pictures on the site seem to back this up. The screen shots shows that the ROM seems to have english support. Anyway the problem is that the ROM is in NB1 format. I don't have a SD Card so can not convert to NBF. If anyone is able to tell me any other way to convert to an exe so that I can upload it to my XDA it would be much appreciated.
if people want to have a look at the site the address is:
http://52xda.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=13&ID=3810
you may need to login which will mean registering with the site... just mean decypehering a bit of the chinese.
if you can't get to the above address, the downlaods for the ROM which are packed as WINRAR files are as follows:

I need help restoring my windows mobile 2003 software

:roll:
Hi I have a big problem and i need all the help i can get
I have an XDA IIi but i accidently deleted all the data on it
the opertating system is gone the screen is only showing me Serial 1.0
and when i connect to my pc only shows USB 2.0
I would like to know if somebody can help me out with this and tell me how to restore the software to my device, i have a backup copy on my SD card, but i don't know how to used
Please help me
thanks
[/b]

have to reflash it
how did it happen?
did you try puting any rom version in it or what?
more info is needed

hey
I was trying to upgrade the radio version of the phone, but the version i was installing was not desgined for the XDAIIi , so, instead of upgrading, it deleted of the rom of the device and now the operating system is gone
the only thing i still have is the backup copy that i made defore the upgrade
i don't know if there is a way to use that backup copy in order to restore the system
thanks

Recommendation
It is propably that the system ROM was erased during upgrade and the upgrade wasn't successfull. Try to download the Diamond 1.2 WM2003se(my recommendation) ROM images package(somewhere available at this forums(Himalaya Upgrade)) and aferwards to flash your device with these files. If u want,u can try also the WM05 system.

He said his device is an Xda IIi not the old II.. Well you can reinstall back ur old ROM, no worries.. Download from my-xda.com..

i or not i
I thing there's no matter if is it IIi or simple II. Or not?

How do I fash my device in order to install diamond 1.2?
I also was looking an upgrade for the XDA IIi but now there are not offering any updates, I have tried to install the upgrades for the XDAII but it gives me an errror telling me that the ROM version is different and it cannot be installed

...
If you mean the Country ID Error while attempting to flash the WM05 system,there's a problem of this OS. 2003se is without problem(for me). Simply download the Diamond ROM from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18287
or directly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=3739
This contains 4 files(maybe more,but these are important).
-HimaUpgradeUt.exe
-ms_.nbf (Extended ROM image)
-nk.nbf (System Image)
-Radio_.nbf (Radio stack)
Start the bootloader(probably you are there),put the Hima to cradle,Windows at your computer detects your device and then extract the downloaded file into one folder and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
This utility is writing what you should do.
As I have readed that the WM05 OS is a little bit buggy(some compatibility problems etc..) at this time to use in Hima. Therefore I am using the 2003se.

Thanks a lot!
Hey guys,
I just downloaded the XDA IIi ROM version from the O2 website

Sincerely
Jorge :wink:

You're welcome
Nice to help you.

Of course it does matter.. Remember that the II and IIi is now a really different device even though both looks identical.. For example, u said he can upgrade to WM2005 (or ROMs that was meant only for Xda II), but of course this can't be done, this is bcos the difference in hardware specs, 4 example IIi has 1.3 MP cam (II = 0.3MP), 128MB RAM, 128MB ROM (II=128MB RAM, 64MB ROM) and so on..
JorgeGZC, I'm glad to be of help to you.. :wink:

Oh sorry.
I didn't know. I'll be well advised.

İ am a mda2 user. İve bought my device from Germany and after that i changed its ROM to an english one using a rom editor to change its country id .. This encouredged a close friend of mine and he bought a O2 XDA2i. And since both me and my friend have no idea about German language we immediately tried to convert it to an english ROM.
And using a wrong ROM (sinmerged 2003 se for himalaya) i killed his machine. It now only writes serial or usb (when connected to cradle). Someone told us that if we flash it with a original German ROM it can work again. But there is no German ROM downloadable . And even if we find a German Rom and install it , it wont solve our language problem. I am a dentist and i even cannot believe how much i've learned browsing these forums
If you can help me i will be very happy!
note : in the ftp server there is rom named german rom for xda2i.. But its a lie. its in english

The same?
That looks like the same problem as at the top of this topic. Just read all this posts once again and you'll get the right way to solve your problem. Hope that helps.

I also have the same problem. I tried to install the wrong upgrade. I've downloaded the new one but i keep getting a connection problem message because activesync can't find the XDA. Help please!!!!

...
When you are in bootloader then ActiveSync will not find the device to synchronise with(cause the WMOS is not running and therefore is any synchronisation disabled). When you put into the cradle,the computer should find new device(Microsoft USB Sync). Then is the device connected and ready to update.

Upgrading XDA IIi to 1.11.171 without a PeeCee??

Hi there,
I've downloaded the latest UK firmware for my XDA IIi from O2's website and it seems to come as a big old Windows executable. I use a Mac, so is there any way to install the upgrade onto the XDA IIi without using a PeeCee and ActiveSync, please?
I do have a PeeCee here which I could probably use to extract the contents of the .exe, or I may be able to do that on my Linux box, but I'd rather just transfer the Windows Mobile executable to the XDA over wireless LAN than have to dig out the cradle, install ActiveSync &c.
Are there any versions of this firmware available without the extra O2 rubbish, please? This forum covers so many nationalities & hardware versions that I bet I could read for an hour to find this information.
Thanks in advance for any replies,
Stroller.

Are the two files in there both the same, apart from the O2 stuff?
I am actually using an O2 SIM, and I'm currently locked to O2's network. I don't like the "O2 Active User Interface", tho' - can I use the O2stuffstripped version?
Cheers,

yup, you can use the O2stuffstripped version if you want to...

Windows Mobile 2005 for Alpine

Hi there,
Does anybody have any information about Windows Mobile 2005 ROM for XDA IIi Alpine models? I downloaded the Himalayan ROM and tried installing in my XDA but failed showing wrong Model ID. I guess mine one is Alpine. I read some thread saying it's not being developed at all for these models. Any luck around?
Regards!

Upgrade to XP.

That saying, if i went back to xp would it be simply plugging in the usb cable from the phone and using the rom file would it work or would i have to use other prog to cid unlock even though its a tmobile phone on a t-mobile contract
as your reply doesnt help things by just downgrading back to xp
Went back to xp same error 260, gone back to vista but still same problem
