Hi,
I have a TMobile pocket pc, Rom version: 3.08.10 and Radio Version: 6.02, I want to upgrade it to WM2003, the problem is that I don't have a tmobile phone number, I saved my ROM on a sd card with the Wallaby Bootloader, I downloaded the "XDA OS Image Tool", could I put the "T-mobile ROM Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade 4.00.21" from Yorch and if it doesn't work just reload the old version with Wallaby?
Could I cook a Rom in the Kitchen and install it or I need PHP support?
Thanks
Yes to all, also you'll need to upgrade your radio stack to get the always on GPRS.
BTW where are you located?
HTH
How do I upgrade my radio? I'm in NY but I need the phone also in Europe.
when you said yes you mean also for the kitchen I need PHP support, does that mean a server like Apache installed on my computer?
btw in Wallaby I saved with the first option to the Sd, I think it was CE ROM TO SD, is that ok or I need to do something else?

Yes on the kitchen!
The best way to upgrade the radio stack is to copy the needed files to
your devices Windows folder and install it from there. If you send me a PM with your email address I'll send you the needed files.
You lost me on the needing PHP support, why do you need that?
HTH
what are all these instructions at http://xda-developers.com/ROMkitchen/, is it for someone that wants to run the kitchen on his computer?
should I use the kitchen version .16 or it's more secure the .21 from yorch with XDA OS Image Tool?

Yes those instructions are for setting up your own kitchen.
I'd go with .21 cause thats what I'm using.
BTW you can also get ROM version 4.0021 from http://www.yorch.net
under Software.
HTH
I have the 4.00.21 version from Yorch my last question is what I need to select in Wallaby?
1. CE ROM TO SD
2. BOOT TO SD
3. CE+BOOT TO SD
4. GSM ROM TO SD (I guess not)
5. CE + GSM TO SD (also probably not)
Thanks...
Pick door number three and make sure that you have loaded onto the sd card only the nbf file from Yorch's site.

you got my a little confused... I thought of backing up to the sd the actual rom and then writing the nbf file to the device, but now you said to load the nbf file to the sd... could please explain...Thanks
Okay, get the os toolset, an sd card reader/writer, an sd card of at least 64mb and do the following:
-install the os toolset
-put device in cradle
-run ostoolset and backup your ROM to your hard drive. Name it something like ppc2002-10-13-03 or something similar. This will backup your ROM only, not any installed programs
-remove your device
-insert the sd card into the reader/writer
-open os toolset again and select the new rom you downloaded from the internet
-select the sd card as the installation drive
-once its done copying put the sd card into your device
-run the wallaby bootloader and have it install the os to your device.
-hard reset when done as directed and BINGO
*** I will point out that it seems you have not read very many of the posts here. DO THIS BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THE ABOVE ***
I'm actually going through this forum for a week till I decided to ask, since nobody wrote clearly how to do it, Thanks!
Now since I don't have a sd card reader, before I get it, is it possible to upgrade directly without having to do it with the sd card?
Another question, with which extension do I save the backup of my ROM, nb1, img, bin.
Thanks again
what's the difference if I copy the .nbf file to the SD reader or if I just copy it to the sd through the device?
Once again, please read the posts. You can't copy the file to the sd card while in the device for it will only copy the file as a file instead of copying it as a bootable interface. If you don't understand this then you should definitely read more posts. No offense.
You can, if you wish, just us the OS toolset to overwrite your device ROM with any ROM you choose. Just go to the ROM TOOLSET forum to download and follow the instructions there. It is very easy but be careful. I just believe in the aforementioned method for it forces you to take steps to prevent a total loss. I wish you the best of luck.
Oh, if you really want to update your ROM, etc., invest in a card reader. It'll cost you less than $30 which is less than 6% of what you paid for your device most likely.
No matter what you do make a backup of your current ROM!
valheru, thank you very much for taking your time, belive me that I really read allot of posts, if you could direct me in a thread that speaks about this I'll be very happy instead of using your time!
Now I just copied the nbf file to the sd card with OSImage Tool, and when I went in Wallaby it gave me the option to upgrade the ROM, is that ok? or I still need a sd reader,
Thanks again for all your help!
That sounds alright but make sure you make a backup of your current ROM first!
Great!!! It works, now one last question the Radio Version is 6.02, Qman what version did you send me and how do I upgrade?
ok here are the istructions to upgrade to ROM 4.00.21 for a TMobile Pocket Pc Phone Edition.
You just need a sd card of at least 64MB (maybe 32Mb will also work).
Download the OSImage Tool from http://www.xda-developers.com/XDAtools/ and install it.
Download the Upgrade to 4.00.21 from Yorch.net http://www.yorch.net/downloads/ROMS/T-mobileROM40021.rar.
-put device in cradle
-run osImage Tool and backup your ROM to your hard drive. Name it something like ppc2002-10-13-03 or something similar. This will backup your ROM only, not any installed programs
-open osImage Tool again and select the new rom you downloaded from the internet
-select the sd card as the installation drive
-run the wallaby bootloader and have it install the os to your device.
-hard reset when done as directed and BINGO

Boy you guys sure have been having fun, I see! 8)
Its radio stack 6.24.
To upgrade just unzip then copy the four files to your devices Windows folder then run RSUpgrade.exe from there.
Hello,
I cooked a new rom for wallaby from LumpiSteven's romkitchen. I'm really impressed!
My new rom is based on WM2003SE. However, my Wallaby cannot accept the flash method from the exe file. I noticed the note from LumpiSteven that before upgrading to 2003SE from the EXE, certain rom version from T-Mobile has to be downgraded to PPC2002 first using the SD Card.
Where can I get the rom PPC2002 to be used with the SD Card?
I look at the xda-dev wallaby ROM versions list but all of them are exe file.
Thanks!
Extract the EXE-File using winzip. YOu will get a folder english that contains the ROM NK.nbf (about 32 MB). You have to use this file for SD-Card flashing....

I have a wallaby with the offical T-Mobile USA ROM (4.0.16 ENG) and would like to upgrade it to the WM2003SE.
I have cooked a new 2003SE rom from lumpisteven's romkitchen. Man, I'm really impressed with this nice web site!
However, my wallaby cannot accept the flashing from the exe file directly. I noticed Lumpi's note that I might need to downgrade to PPC 2002 first before by using the SD card method.
I looked for the PPC2002 rom in the xda-dev romversions list, all of the rom there are in the EXE format. Where can I find such version that can be used to flash my wallaby from a SD card?
Thanks!

Thanks LumpiSteven! I follow your instruction and I have succesfully got my Wallaby loaded with WM2003SE!
I've installed Indra's WM6.0 ROM and everything looks promising.
I used to use the EXT ROM to install programs rather than installing them on storage card as I use different memory cards. But now with the new 6.0 ROMs, it won't allow me to install any programs or save any files.
I tried to search for it but couldn't find any info. If anyone can enlighten me on how to save or install programs on EXT ROM as a regular memory card, I would be grateful.
i just used the extrom unlocker as usual and it presents me with the option during setups that support installing not on internal storage (midget's wm6 rom)
Hi!
For my experience: you can up another old ROM, use ExtROM unlock then up again with WM06, it will be use Extended Rom.
extrom is unlocked by default in the current 3 crossbow releases

I know that it's been unlocked but it seems like we cannot save files or programs into it.
Can anyone confirm that if I load an older ROM and install a new one, I'll be able to save files in it.
TIA
I'm using Midget_1990 and installed a lot of programs in the storage (Ext Rom) with no probs
Hi i have previously read on the hermes forum that it is possible to ugrade by using only the memory card. My dilemma was my USB mini port wont work and i need to reflash a new radio and rom to my dopod 838. can anyone hlep and guide me on this? like how do i start? what files do i need? etc... its my first time to reflash this phone and i am afraid i might brick it. thank you.

you may check steps 1-6 to see how to get a ROM dump on a SD card.
if you have a SD card with the ROM dump just use step 7 to upload from SD into ROM.
did it only with a dump from my own Wizard and back into it but not with a dump from another Wizard so better read through the thread yourself carefully first.
