Let me apologize if someone has asked this before (however I did search and found nothing). I also want to apologize if I sound stupid - I'm incredibly new to all this technology.
The Device: I have a "Siemens SX56" which I now know has many other names (thanks to this website). My ROM version is R.20.11 ENG dated 06/05/03, my Radio version is A.20.10 and my Protocol version (don't have a clue what it does) is 324e4. My wireless GSM carrier is Rogers in Canada.
The Problem: I wish to upgrade the device from Pocket PC 2002 (currently installed) to Pocket PC 2003. Microsoft only allows the manufacturer to provide this upgrade. Siemens does not have an upgrade for this device for people using the Rogers product in Canada. They do however have the upgrade available to AT&T subscribers in the U.S.
The Questions: Does anyone know if I can use the Siemens AT&T upgrade without any problems? What differences are there between these products? I noticed that my ROM and Radio versions were not included in the profile list (they must be fairly unique) does anyone have any familiarity with them and if so, how are they different from the newer versions? Can I update my ROM version to something less unique and still retain my wireless GSM carrier? Siemens and Rogers have been thoroughly unhelpful.
Thank - you for all your help.
It is so easy to upgrade to 2003.
Over hundreds posts are in the forum about upgrading to 2003
If you still cannot get it, contact me to help you. I'm in Toronto, Canada
thanks cgigate,
I too read MANY messages in this forum about upgrading to 2003 but haven't found anything that dispels my concerns about upgrading a phone with Rogers AT&T as the carrier.
Can you provide a link? What file(s) should I be looking for?
Also, a couple of other things...
1. Is there a way to backup my SMS messages before the upgrade and then restore them after the upgrade?
2. Has anyone found a solution the the "increasing ring" or volume clipping that was included in the new ROM's?
Thanks again! PS. I'm in Mississauga.
Rogers is my concern
Thanks Cgigate,
My concern is the same as Guiness.... how will the update effect a Rogers phone? The Siemens website clearly states that the upgrade is NOT for a rogers phone so I'm a little concerned. I did search the forums for any information on this and found nothing to this specific issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Sean
P.S. I'm in Markham/Toronto.
Update
Well, Siemens finally posted on their website an upgrade for WM2003 for the Rogers phones. You can find it here: http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...C%2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda%2F,00.html
I downloaded it and followed the instructions. The Radio Stack was upgraded successfully, however, the thing pooched during the ROM update. Phone is dead - won't turn on at all. I contacted the Rogers guy I bought the phone from and he has sent it in to get reflashed.... crappy!
Hey senmc,
I just followed your link to the Siemens upgrade for Rogers users in Canada.
I did the download, full upgrade (Radio Stack and OS) and it worked flawlessly!
I'm up and running without any problems... except, of course, I am having the same volume issues that everyone else has written about.
I just went to the Siemens site.
It says..." the upgrade is no longer avaliable"!!!
Does anyone know where else can I find the upgrade?
Try this link:
http://downloads.rogers.com/wireless/products/phones/siemens/Siemens_SX56_Software_Upgrade.exe
Here is the update to WM2003 directly from Rogers.
(I've got some problems with this ROM used in the ROMkitchen. But in the original format it should work fine....)
For further Informations you can take a look at :

I'm about to buy a new unlocked HTC shadow and I'm interested in updating this device to WM6.1. I understand that the unlocked HTC version has slightly different hardware than the tmobile version....
1- I think there's three ROMs available here.. Will these ROMs work with my unlocked HTC shadow? or are they only meant for the tmobile version? or both?
2- I read on another forum about ROM updates breaking wi-fi functionality. Any info on this?
3- If needed (like returning for warantee), can I go back to the stock 6.0 ROM? How?
4- Can the device be "bricked" by the ROM update process? Does the HTC (non tmobile) device have the bootloader which can be activated by pressing the camera button at startup?
Thanks so much for any help,
Steve
I see you were also on allshadow as well... same answer here from me:
I just purchased an unlocked shadow (2007 version I guess -- htc juno) from newegg.com and it is branded t-mobile on the phone, packaging etc. I am guessing t-mobile dumped all of their stock when the new 2009 version was released.
I updated mine to the Eorfich rom and wifi works just fine. Allshadow has some wiki stuff to help both in upgrading to 6.1 and downgrading back if you feel the need.

From HTC's official plurk - www dot plurk dot com / htchero
It said the software will be published OTA from 4 June (of course, GMT+8)
For all we know that account could have been made by anyone??
I do hope it's true... but I am a real sceptic and pessimist and most of all a realist...
We'll see.

Beauty. I just downloaded it and unzipped it. Looks like it will be easy to repack for rooted users. It comes with new radio firmware. Hope it's not branded in any way.
Its out.

"We will start on June 4 to provide upgrades to 2.73.751.13..."
Um.. sorry if this is a dumb question, but my Hero's version is 2.73.405.5 and that's the latest ROM Version according to htc.com/europe/
so.. is that version getting the update or is it just the 2.73.751.13 the Taiwanese version and 2.73.405.5 the European one and both are practically the same?
Hooraaay for 2.1 (party)
Update consists of series of binary patches, so probably it won't apply to anything but 2.73.751.13

It upgrades to (Android 2.1 3.31.751.1) from 2.73.751.13 OTA.
It's doubtful you'll be able to use the image as is from another ROM. But rooted users should be able to use a repacked version with no problem. It comes with a new radio, so care would have be taken to make sure there is no funkiness with current engineering SPLs.
now just need patient to wait for cooked rom
hi. im newbie and haven't root my hero. my hero is firmware singapore version.2.73.707.9 can i upgrade my
hero with this? or i should wait for south east asia version roll out? thanks.
sorry for.noob question...
sorry to say that you must have a taiwan version phone to update
First update to 2.73 will probably include some patches for the OTA client.
Not wanting to put a downer in this but haven't htc always told us we'll see a small ota update before the offical update to 2.1.
This sounds like it's taking them direct to 2.1
Well in Europe it looks like we have currently to wait, but there are another News about the OTA-UPdate on the European Site for Legend and Bravo :

I got a text message from TMobile today saying there is new software and new feature improvements for my HD2. I clicked on the website they gave me and here is what the pop up window says,:
" A software upgrade is available for HTC HD2 customers at www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade. Please be aware that after you upgrade the phone It is normal for the device to run slowly and the battery to drain at a higher rate for a short period of time. This is caused by applications that might be performing an initial sync, such as, Outlook or a personal e-mail account, or the device updating applications like weather and location. It may take up to four hours to complete all syncing.Important: Please read the steps on How do I perform a device software upgrade before moving forward. The software update is only designed to update the software version from 2.10.531.1 and 2.13.531.1 to 3.14.531.1.
The upgrade process is easy!
Download the new software to your PC. You will be instructed to enter the 15-digit IMEI number for your device to access the download.
Ensure ActiveSync 4.5 for computers using Windows XP or earlier or use Windows Mobile Device Center for computers using Vista and Windows 7 is installed on your PC. If you have not installed ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, you can install it from your Getting Started CD or download it from the Microsoft website.
Connect your HTC HD2 MR to your computer using the USB Sync Cable that came with the phone.
Establish a connection. You will know this is complete when the ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center icon in your PC taskbar is lit green and the status is "Connected".
Ensure that your T-Mobile HTC HD2 MR has a battery charge that is greater than 50% (two bars).
Remove your MicroSD card from the device if you have one inserted. Do not reinsert the SD card until after the software installation process is complete and the phone is ready to use.
Run the software update program you downloaded to your PC and follow the on-screen commands.
Below is the list of available downloads. Please select the download of your choice.
T-Mobile HD2 MR Software Updates
T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1)"
I'm not sure if the chefs plan on upgrading our roms or what but it's nice to know the HD2 got some love with WP7 on the extremely near horizon.
Just found the other thread. Wow - some people got the text on the 19th and I just got mine. Crazy sucky! Please lock this thread.
No text yet
So i haven't gotten any text from tmob yet so deciced to check and download it. well if anybody is wondering if the one released by tmob is different than the one released two weeks ago are different? the answer is yes. the radio versions are different, as is a few minor things. going to give it a few days to compare the two. the one released two weeks ago was the first time i ever stuck with a stock that long, and now going to give this a try.
Wow! that fast with another upgrade. i keep loving my tmous hd2 more and more.

Download For: T-Mobile HD2 MR
Download: T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1 )
Date Updated: 9/23/10
Size: 209 MB
Still think its new?
Yeah, I did it but I don't know what's wrong: when I looked for the Software information, and checked the OS version, it's now like this: OS version: 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94). Is it Windows Mobile current version? Did ROM upgrade downgrade Windows version?
I know it might seem stupid, but I am really concerned...
Thanks in advance for help!
No, 21913 is one of the latest we've seen of COM2 line. If you had cooked one before then you had some bigger number probably, due to different branch...
What about Abroad Tmob devices ??
Guyys .., I'm Using a Tmob HD2 in Srilanka. Got it unlocked and using it. I've got one of those 17 digit IMEI's and ROM version of 2.13.

The file is too large to post here. Check the development Forums for links to the stock ROMs. But it is really easiest and safest to go to HTC, enter your IMEI, and get the right ROM from them.
I first want to say thank you to xda-developers for such a great site. I have been on here reading for 2 weeks now and decided I finally need help. I recently bought me an HTC HD2 Euro version (all white home keys). I proceeded to set it up to dual boot Windows 7.5 and ICS. I was successful thanks to everything I read here and watched on "Youtube".
Well, I was partially successful that is. I have had 4 different WP7 roms and one ICS/sd rom.
All the WP7 roms installed with no hitches as did the ICS and all opened up successfully.
Here is where I need some help with all 4 WP7 roms I get no T-mobile data and no mms messages. I really need my data to work. I get everything except "mms" to work with wifi; IE, xbox live, and the market.
I currently have WP7 rom "HD2O_2.02_8779" installed.

Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.0
Bootloader version: 0.96.2250.0
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
When I setup "CustomRUU" to check the radio version and maybe flash a different radio, no current radio shows up. So my first question is,
Is it possible to not have a radio installed at all?
And if this is true is that why I can't get my data to work?
I have reset my phone.
I have turned my data off and on.
I have used "Connection Setup" at least 3 times on just this rom.
I have used wifi.
I currently do not have an ICS rom on my data card because I want to wait until I get WP7 working properly first. I already fried one 16GB class 10 sd card that is why I am using an 8GB sd card now. So if anyone can help answer my questions I would so grateful. Thanks in advance.

Did you download connection setup from the market or using the preloaded one?
Did you try manual selection in connection setup?
Do you have data connection on in settings?
Try manually selecting Network in.settngs.
Soft Radio for TMOUS is 5.51T.09.29a.22.32.50.10U...that is what I have on my phone running BTTF. The 5.51T is for the U.S. You didn't specify what region you reside so I'm assuming U.S. based on your English or maybe British.
Hardware radio is A.12.0.D4 which is 2.15.xx.xx version in my signature.
Anyway, you should see a hardware radio version. Otherwise, you should flash the appropriate hardware radio.
There are threads telling how to rescue locked sd cards.
still no data, no radio showing up
1. I used the preloaded connection setup.
2. Yes, I did the manual selection.
3. Yes, as I stated I have turned data on and off trying to get it to work.
4. Yes, I manually selected T-mobile in "Cellular"
Well I want to make sure I choose the correct radio for an HTC HD2, the europe model not the T-mobile model with red and green buttons. Mine has white buttons.
I also have the radio set to -region: North America.
and yes I am in the US in Florida using T-mobile as my service provider

I suggest you post your question in HD2O's rom thread and specify which country you're located and the fact you are using the European model. People using the rom should be able to give more help.
still no data, no radio showing up in CustumRUU.exe
Well I would put this in the phone development section but it says all questions belong here in the Q&A section, so i don't want to ruffle feathers and get flamed for not following the rules so I'll just leave it here for now. Maybe a mod could move it if he thinks it belongs there. I am going to wait until morning to continue working on this problem, I'm too tired to anything now. Don't want to make a sleepy mistake and brick my phone. Thanks.

well your question is specific to a rom and people post questions in development all the time...esp specifically related to a particular rom.
no radio showing up, low sound
Well I finally made it back a couple hours ago and I have been reading ever since. I tried to post this in the rom section but because I don't have 10 posts I can't and no one else has responded.
Since I left early in the morning (about 3am) I tried my phone and found I have almost no sound coming from it. It could be the radio but I also have read many of these roms have sound volume problems and they have a fix for it. I think I am going to try flashing a radio and see what happens. What ever I do I will post back here.
I just installed 2 different radios and nothing shows up in the settings phone radio section. It still has 0.0.0.0 for a radio. Think I'm going to install a different rom and see what happens.

data works with ICS on sd card
I decided to go ahead and install an ICS rom on an sd card and see if I get data and mms messages with it. I decided to use "NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA-SD_v2.3" and within a few minutes it was up and running. To my happiness all my data works including mms messages. In fact I did not find anything that did not work, even live wallpapers and this is on an sd card. Another great job by the members here at xda-developers.
Back to facory Windows Mobile 6.5 rom
Still trying to get this phone to work with Windows Phone 7. I tried going the task 29 route and then installing Windows 7 rom but that did not help to get any data on my phone from T-mobile in the USA so I went and studied how to take it all the way back to a stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom and was successful. I have data on the phone but I can't get mms messages to work on it, but that is still better than what I have been able to do with WP7.
I got the rom right from HTC.com "RUU_Leo_S_TMO_HR_3.14.119.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship". Notice that it has the same radio 2.15.50.14 as what most people recommend to use with WM7 roms. I used this Video on youtube for directions
"How to Turn your HTC HD2 back to Factory"
I have not given up on this and will continue tomorrow.

"How to Turn your HTC HD2 back to Factory" u
I have not given up on this and will continue tomorrow.

HTC HD2 Leo stock 6.5 rom, not HTC Hd2 Tmous
First I want to thank for being the only one responding to my thread and posts as I have posted in another thread too. I am sincere when I say that. I really liked what you said in the thread you sent me to, that you would explain how to do something unlike others here. That means a lot to people who are asking for help.
I think there are too many people in forums who forget what it feels like to be a noob at anything. I am a member at many forums going way back to modding Motorola Razors, flashing Dishnet boxes before they locked us out, fixing red ring of death Xboxes and so on. So sir, I really do appreciate those who are here to help not just flame those asking for help.
Now back to the topic. I used that rom from HTC.com/europe because I have an HTC HD2 euro version not the HTC Tmous phone. Mine has the all white buttons and I wasn't sure if I could flash the T-mobile Windows Mobile 6.5 stock rom. As this phone is only 3-4 weeks old I am trying hard not to brick it. That is why I have spent 12 hrs a day for the past 3-4 days doing nothing but reading this site.
here is the link to the stock Window Mobile 6.5 rom for the Europe version.

If you know whether I can use the T-mobile stock rom in my HTC HD2 Leo then maybe I will try it. I am also going to try the unbranded stock rom from the same link as they have one for both T-mobile and not T-mobile if that makes sense to you. Trying not to be confusing.
if you read that radio thread, they say it can be used on the European hd2. and yes, i know you have the european hd2.
finally got mms messages with stock WM 6.5
For my latest trial I downloaded and installed the WWE (World Wide English) stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom that HTC.com/europe has. Here is the name of the second rom.
RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Here is the name of the 1st stock rom that I tried and mms messages never worked. The first set of numbers are different. Not sure what they stand for.
RUU_Leo_S_TMO_HR_3.14.119.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
Here is the link if anyone needs it.

This is the first rom I have installed that gives me data and mms messages. So now I know that this hardware radio works with t-mobile USA network (in Miami). I just need to find the correct software radio for Windows Phone 7 and I will be as happy as can be. I might even try T-mobiles stock rom today also.
still testing with mixed results.
I am back on Windows 7.5 now using pdaimatejam rom. I replaced his original software radio with 5.51t.09.29a_22.32.50.10u and also with 5.51.09.11a_22.31.40.09u. I got excited because these both gave me data but after a few minutes my data quit working. Neither allowed me to send or receive mms messages. I am still testing and will give any updates or results I come up with. What is odd is I am using the same Hardware radio 2.15.50.14 that is in the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom that let me have data and mms messages.
Just a quick update, I tried the Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki][Updatable] rom and did not have any better luck. Still same 0.0.0.0 radio and no data or mms. I did have some fun installing the rom. Learned a lot about installing cabs and such. I usually get an error when I install the HTC connection app but not with this rom. I don't think the app is helping do anything from what I can tell. Going to try adifferent rom tomorrow to see if I have any better luck.
tried another rom, same results
I flashed this rom yesterday.
RUU_LEO_HTC_Europe_5.12.401.01_Radio_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U_NT_Tango_8773_3La_V3_by_ansar
I still get the 0.0.0.0 radio and no data or mms. I also flashed a couple different hardware radios after I installed the rom, but still got the same results. I think I am going to change the software radio in the rom and then flash it again and see if it makes a difference.
