I've downloaded 2 official updates from t-mobile.co.uk site for my Compact 3, the latest WM5 ROM and radio fix. Can you tell me if it's worth going ahead and installing them to the phone and doing the upgrades? My phone is working fine, although the battery drains very fast (may not be the rom) and gps fix is always about 2 minutes, sometimes longer.
The T-Mobile WM6 upgrade has expired on their site, so that's a no go anyway.
Obviously I don't want to upgrade unless it's absolutely necessary or unless I'll greatly benefit from it. Since this is just an upgrade rom to the existing WM5 O/S and not WM6, does this mean it will still hard reset the device and erase all data? I'd obviously back everything up first just in case.
Here's the link I downloaded from:
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/sd_compact3.html
The ROM update file is called: ART_TMOUK_11311001_024990_WWE_Ship_R3.exe
The Radio fix file is called: ARTEIMG_TMO_UK_4.1.13.251_02.92.90_RadioOnly.exe
I presume I don't need to do a Cid unlock as there's nothing on t-mobiles pdf instructions about that. http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/install.pdf
My ROM version is 1.13.110.1 WWE
ROM date 22/9/06
Radio version 02.49.90
ExtROM version 1.13.110.101

Hello.
As a new xda user I have been reading up on flashing my machine to the Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC Phone edition. I am trying to find out if every rom will work on my phone.
I have an 02XDA
Bootloader 5.17
Rom Version 3.14.17 ENG
Rom Date 10/11/02
Radio version 4.17
Protocol Version 32s54
I was looking forward to updating it to the new version but o2 Asia (I assume my xda is the asian model) says that an upgrade is unlikely.
Can I update it with one of your roms or possibly the WM2003?
Thanks.
Yup, you can upgrade it, and anyone should.
If you asked me two days ago you would get a negative answer. But last night for the second time I upgraded my XDA again to WM2003, and very very happy with it. Specially the telephone and SMS facilities.
When I upgraded first time last week, I was not happy at all, my application programs somehow hang the XDA, most probably Battery Pack older version. Now I am using Spb Pocket Plus instead.
If you want to upgrade to WM2003, just make sure that all your application program can run in it. You cannot trust the signal bar, so I use an excelent program called IP Dashboard test it.
My old set-up was exactly like yours, and now:
ROM version: 4.00.01 ENG
ROM date: 05/16/03
Radio version: 4.21.00
Protocol version: 32S54
Help X2
Ok then.
To make mine look official, where can i get a proper copy of WM2003? I know its not officially endorsed or anything but I want it to at least look the part.
I'm one of these people who love having the newest look to their mobile and as its new I havn't put any extra programs on it yet. (Apary from the sms fix)
and how would I go about getting it and resoring it if the update failed. ?
You may not be able to get an 'official' copy of WM2003, but there are plenty of developer-releases floating around :wink:
Search the forums and read as much as you can and you will have your XDA upgraded in no time.
If I'm not happy with WM2003 can anyone tell me if it is possible to downgrade with the official Programme a/b that can be downloaded from the 02 website.
I downloaded it just in case I had any problems a while ago. Touch wood *knock Knock* It hasn't been a problem for me.
you can down-grade. the best way of doing it is to down-grade to XDA-developers v1.2 then to O2 3.xx

i have just put my sim card in but the OS is
ROM version 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date 10/11/02
Radio verison 4.16
Protocol Version 32554
are there any upgrades or programs i should add or is it fine as it is?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :wink:
I would suggest leaving the radio stack alone if it works ok. You can backup your current rom to sd card then go cook a rom with lots of extra features and software in the unused rom space at one of the kitchens.
Hi ... congratulations first
Your ROM is PPC2002, so you may consider upgrading to WM2003 (it's not essential tho :wink: ).
In all cases, if your Radio is working fine (the phone part), just do NOT touch it!!
Take enough time to read in this forum before any steps or questions ... Good luck
O2 XDA and WM2003
I just saw posts on this thread, is it possible (safe?) to put WM2003 on an O2 XDA. What ROM upgrade should be used? I ask because I got impression that 2003 upgrade was vendor sensitive and you had to use (if they did one) your vendors upgrade. (i.e. Siemens, etc). Thanks for help, maybe I get to update after all !!

I just uploaded ROM version 3.17.03 ENG. My T-Mobile PW10B1 now identifies itself as a PW10"A"1 under "Settings", "Device Information".
Is this going to cause a problem?
My next step was to change from T-Mobile to AT&T, and I need to know if I will have to change the Radio Version. Currently 6.02. I know that there seems to be a lot of problems with Flashing the RSU. Do I have any choice in the matter?
hello. If it work. I you should keep it. Otherwise you have to upgrade the radio stack. It is safe but you need to follow the sreen correctly.
First if you have a laptop, It perfect(in case the Electronic power cut off)
2. upgrade the rom image only from AT&T ver 20.07 using xda tool
3. go to AT&T official site to upgrade you os 2003.(this include OS and Latest Stack.
good luck. 100 safe without any problem. I have done over 70 units.
The device report makes no difference to your phone, your phone will remain 900/1900.

no one to help me??????????????
Here ya go....
1) Correct. You can't upgrade your 2i to WM5.
2) I would recommend downloading one of pug's ROMs. You can find them here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Alpine/O2_Roms_Camera_Fixed_Bug/
If you hate the o2 active stuff, then download the one marked "o2stripped" (I would recommend this one). If you like the o2 active stuff, then download the other.
3) The latest Radio ROM available for the 2i is version 1.04. If you upgrade your ROM using one of pug's rom, then your radio will automatically be updated to version 1.04.

BTW, I think your device is an Alpine, not an Andes.
Got a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I was updating my rom and it all went wrong. When I turn my xda2i on now I get the normal setup then its goes to a black screen with serial written on it (or usb if it is in the cradle), and apart from that it does nothing.
My laptop no longer recorgnises the device so I can't restore the old rom or restart the process????
Can anyone help please?
tez,
You're in what is called "Bootloader". You're OK. You can do one of two things:
1) Simply re-attempt to "reflash your ROM" with one of the ROMs you downloaded.
2) Reflash your ROM with a ROM update provided your manufacturer. I couldn't get my device to update with one of pug's rom (it go stuck around 18%) so I had to reflash my Alpine with an original ROM released from a manufacturer.
Hope this helps.

I want to switch back to WM5 and require the official WM5 WWE ROM, where do I get it. (CID/SIM unlocked). I also need the official/best radio/GSM for it. any links? and do I need to downgrade my SPL/IPL version for it?
or does the ROM includes the Radio/GSM?
ok installed K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship and it solved most of issues.
