It's not available under any version 4.x ROM. Some of the older 3.x ROMs that are available in various kitchens may have it, as well as the Special Edition ROM, which was based on the O2 3.x ROM. Alas, the switch to WM2003 put the kibash on it. See this thread for more:

Got an idea....the newer 4.00.33 German ROM has WModem in it. This is WM2003, so could you take the files from this ROM and load them into an ENG version? I have no need for the WModem software, but maybe someone else can give this a shot and let everyone know.

And a great idea it is! 8)
Any updates on this?
Has any progress been made in pulling Wmodem forom the WM2003 German Rom? Can someone post a link to the Rom in question so I can take a swing at it? Does anyone know if it is even working on the German Rom or if they just included the same version from the WM2002 Roms assuming that it would work? Sorry for the flurry of questions, just very anxious to see if this works.
Ok here you go on the link:

HOW-DEE-DO-DEE.
HAS ANY ONE TAKEN OUT THE Wmodem PROGRAM, AND GOT IT TO WORK ON NON-GERMAN WM2003 ROM?
8)
I tried it but it didn't work
I flashed 4.00.33 (german rom) to my device, copied the wmodem.exe file to an sd card, then flashed my device with 4.01.00 (t-mobile english rom) and copied the wmodem.exe file from the sd card to the device. I connected my xda to my computer with a serial cable, opened the wmodem program on the device, chose serial connection and hit start. I then tried to connect on my computer but nothing happened (no connection, no error message on the xda). For the record I currently use wmodem with the xda developers special edition rom flashed onto my device so I know that my settings are correct.
I'm guessing but perhaps there's a driver file for the 2003 version of wmodem.exe. I could not find any other file in the german rom that looked like it was associated with wmodem. Perhaps someone can determine if there is a driver file needed for this version of wmodem to run. If so, we can extract it along with the wmodem.exe file from the german rom and try again.
what about just using the german rom ?
might be a stupid question, but is the WM2003 german, actually in german or english ?
will a german rom work with a usa t-mobile account ?
-Mario
yes it is in GERMAN :lol:
and it will work with TMO as long as u dont screw with a diferent country's RS
does this version of WModem use USB ?
iv seen some web pages about the new smart phones with wmodem on it that can use usb to connect
WModem
I have just updated my Siemens SX56 (AT&T US) with WM 2003. I downloaded a copy of wmodem from a URL in this form. I have tried both IRDA and Serial cable from Windows XP laptop with no luck.
I can get the computer to talk to the phone (icon flashes in wmodem) but it appears that the phone cannot reply (I have used hyper terminal too).
Has anyone gotten this to work? If so what wmodem version? Any suggestions on the command line parameters would be helpful.
Thanks,
Julian
What about the XDA II WModem?
What about getting a copy of the Wireless Modem program from an XDA II? I know O2 includes this, so surely someone here has a copy of it. Additionally, it has USB support!

New version of WModem
You guys probably already have this, but I found a new version of WModem (2.0.5.2). I can't get it to run on PPC2002, but it may work on WM2003. I believe it came from the XDA II. Let me know if you have any success. I've also included the USB Modem driver and dialer needed for USB connectivity. Good luck!

it is from a german 33 modem. can someone post a wmodem from an xda II together with a clean registry snap ?
thanks.
This seems to be the most commonly asked question on this forum "Why can't I use my XDA with PPC 2003 as a modem". Now I have read a lot of posts talking about it and I realize it can be done with PPC 2002 and not 2003. Why? Is it something that microsoft blocked? Has no one written the software or has it just not been included in people's roms? I was wondering if someone can explain to me the logistics why you can't use XDA as a modem or unlock it in PPC 2003. Also if anyone knows of a software I can purchase to use my XDA as a modem I am all ears. Thanks again.

The new xda software upgrade +wireless modem
http://www.myxda.com/web/template/SoftwareUpgradeIntroduction.vm
Problem
First the instructions on setting up the modem were great, but where do I get the two files I need. Second the "upgrade" is acctually a drastic downgrade. Your link told me I should upgrade to
ROM version: 3.20.06 ENG
ROM date: 07/30/03
Radio: 4.21
Protocol: 32S54
This is very outdated. I am currently running
Rom version: 4.01.00
ROM date: 10/27/03
Radio Version: 6.25.02
Protocol version: 324e4
I don't mean to be condescending, but is the version you are talking about PPC 2002 or 2003? Also Do you know the difference bettween the two rom versions I just listed. Thanks.
I don't know how to set the wireless modem, but I know that 3.xx.xx are 2002 versions and 4.xx.xx, R.xx.xx and A.xx.xx are WM2003 ones! 8)
Windows Modem Drive
In first place the ROM 4.01.00 have in the folder program the Wireless Modem?
If they Modem it is there you does not need to do upgrade. You OK
The Upgrade that I'm suggested is the original end last Rom from Asia XDA.
The rom 4.01.00 is the T Mobile vession.
The software you need is in this line [drive]

download the drive from this place.
I'm sorry I can't click on the link for the download. Also isn't the link to a PocketPC 2002 version?
This is the drive that you needs for the USB XDA wireless modem.
josedias (or anyone that can do so),
Can you post the wmodem.exe application from the XDAII, and possibly a registry snapshot (http://www.geocities.com/s_k_s_k_s_kru/util.html#ss)?
Thanks!

Does the WirelessModem_USB_files.zip works on XDA I and PocketPC2003? I'm currently using the wireless modem from the Special Edition 1.2, but intend to upgrade to the T-Mobile 2003 version, just need to ensure I can still have modem capability. Please advise. Thanks.
That was the original question I asked when I started this thread and I really don't think it's possible. There is no app built into 2003 for a modem.
josedias,
I've already read those instructions. They are all for the XDA II, and they refer to a version of WMODEM.EXE that is not in any of the XDA I ROMS. This version of WMODEM.EXE has the option for USB connection, while the XDA I versions do not. That's why I would like for someone to post a copy of the actual file "WMODEM.EXE" from their XDA II, along with a snapshot of the registry so we can analyze the differences. Then we can use the USB Dialer that you posted. Can you copy this file from your XDA II? It should be in \Windows\wmodem.exe.
Thanks!
Shawn

Enclose the Drive from my XDA II \Windods\wmodem.exe
I did not find the wmodem.exe of the XDA I
I only found the Shortcut in Windows\Start Menu\Programs???
wmodem on my xda I didnt WORK !!!
When i run irda or usb modem, my pc didnt react. according the instructions when you start usb modem pc must recognized it, but my pc didn't do anything.
i have wm 2003, (win xp on desctop), with no wmodem func, i download it from here. the question is: how make xdaI recognisible as a modem for pc. may be it needs some reg tweaks???
The file you downloaded was for xdaII.
There is no software for XDA PPC 2003 only PPC 2002
gunsandroses,
The German WM2003 ROMs have WMODEM that (I believe) works with the English versions. However, this version of WMODEM only supports serial and IrDA, just like the English version of the PPC2002 ROMs. I have neither a serial port or IrDA on my laptop, though, so I can't tell you if it actually works with the PC. You can find this German version of WMODEM on this forum.
Shawn
i have german wmodem programm, but it didnt work. when i started wmodem irda my ir port on pc shows that connection is established, but when i tried to dial the number, according the instruction, my pc says - there is no modem, or it not instaled. so it seems to be that xda didnt recognized as a modem. but when i stoped wmodem the connection between xda and pc stoped too. i dodnt understand why my pc could not use the modem of xda????? my be, when i tune and tweek my xp i turn off some services, that need to be run for that? but my sonyerricson t610 worked great!

auburnham,
Why can it only support IRDA or serial connetions? The software gives you the option to connect USB and Bluetooth. Also the instructions listed with the dowload explain how to connect through USB. Have you ever successfully made this connection with a desktop and Serial port? Where did you buy a serial wire? Thanks again.
