Dear all,
I am currently running ROM V. 3.17.03 and radio stack V. 4.21. and recently contemplating on installing PPC 2003. I have also read tons of unpleasent articles about severe installation failures. Would any of you guys know whether I can re-install my existing rom version in case the installation of the new 2003 version does not work fine. Any other comments concerning this are extremely welcome. Thanks in advance :roll:
I've been back and forth twice now with no problems, however I could not go from PCC2003 to o2's 3.17, said something about authentication, but you can go back to xda dev 1.2 and then, if you wish, install o2's 3.17.
The above was using the Programme A way as I don't (yet) have a card reader.
If you have any concerns I recommend waiting a little while longer till the next version comes out.
My thanks to you York mate
I've also (and a few other friends) managed to go up and down quite a few times without trouble.
Go for it!
2003
i have installed 2003 twice with no trouble i think the secret is to follow the instructions properly.

Poci, you just have to go to the O2 UK site, ->Products and Services, -> xda, and there : Get ROM Upgrade , you follow what they said, and can download both , RUU 3.17.03 and RSU 4.21 ... :wink:

One more concern to you, generous mates. I have read somewhere in this very forum that the units bought in ASIA are not supporting the PPC 2003 due to some differences in their physical designs. Any comments on this. Thanks again in advance.
One more thing: TO Poci: If you prefer the ppc 2003 over the version 3.17.03, you can download the unofficial release at no cost, thanks to our generous friend, Ali. The site ishttp://www.ali.nildram.co.uk/xda/. Cheers
also you can find the ROM at

I have an ASIA unit, running it in Australia fine with the 2003 ROM and 4.21 Radio. I think they are just trying to force people to upgrade to the new XDA II when it comes out.
Jeffrey
Hi again
Problems seem to come and go at their own will. Great news is I have successfully installed the ppc 2003 while the worst news is that I just discovered that my newly and expensively bought external keyboard ceased to funtion since the driver installation indicated versions incompatibility. Any suggestion on the keyboard driver version that could do with the ppc 2003? Anyone? please suggest.
Hi,
I was reading post from "JeffreyK" and saw you are from Australia, I am having problems with GPRS and I was wondering which network you are with in Aus.....
Might help me with settings

I'm on Vodafone.
Jeff
Hi JeffreyK
Can you please help me, I am with Vodafone Australia and I can not get the GPRS working, is yours working and if so how did you do it, I do not understand the setting as they are diferent to PPC 2002 I entered:
vfinternet.au
no user name or password
and it will not connect.
Please if you have any ideas please help
Seal,
Modem Type "Cellular Line (GPRS)"
Access point name: vfinternet.au
Thats it.
I wish mine wasn't working, I've spent over A$600 on GPRS the last few months
Jeff
I just phoned Vodafone and yes as read in this forum " Check that GPRS is active on account" my GPRS is not active. No reason from network why it was turned off, just THEY DON NOT KNOW.
No wonder I couldn't connect........
Vodafone is working on it as I type, will let you know......
I mean I have lost everything from my SD 256MB lexar card - some vital data and some mp3, family pictures etc ... all of varoius size, hmmm
1. Flash Format v2.60 from CNetX has:
- some problems with formatting SD card
- then after card -reinsert it has formatted it FAT32, 512 sector size parameters
- all verify+ repair operations executed flawlessly afterwards
2. I have received XDA that has been flashed with WM 2003 from T-Mobile (marked test only - not for sale, but in my humble view it does not matter)
hardware version PW10B1
sys ver 4.00.21 ENG
ROM date 08/11/03
radio ver 4.21.00
protocol 32S54
does anyone has an idea as to what to do to stop self-format SD card ?? is that a faulty SD card or something messed up with the OS ??
regards, monika
Hi ..
I read many posts regarding this issue and mostly related to TMO pre release ROM ugrades including 4.00.21. Why don't you upgrade to the latest official release 4.01.00 Maybe this issue is solved.
does it mean SD card is OK ?? but OS version fails ....
oki, that makes me decide on below mentioned items :
1. I do have apparently US version of XDA as it has dual band 900/1900 :? and that makes me think before flashing the unit with an english but UK version ... unless it is harmless :?: so the question is - is it going to work ?? even when I decide to visit US sometime next year
2. does it mean that pre-release version of T-mobile ROM which I have makes some SD work and some don't ?? my other card seems to work fine ... I am getting confused :wink:
3. where to get the most recent windows PPC phone edition 2003 eng version that has not that problem with SD cards ??
regards and thnx for your inputs
monika

if your network supports 900 MHz, OR your XDA have the 900/1800 radio option (GSM menu ... power + soft reset then calendar button) then it's likely that you can use your XDA with any RSU supported by your network.

Not proven to be secured in this point but you can get it from
ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21
Good luck ...
I have liked it .... already downloading
although after having been read those horrible stories of one group member from US having problems with GPRS setup and functioning .... I am thinking about it
but have you been testing that version by yourself ??? :wink:
hmmm, and when flash fails where I can get the operational copy of WM 2003 so that I can restore my setup to date
which is:
sys ver 4.00.21 ENG
ROM date 08/11/03
radio ver 4.21.00
protocol 32S54
regards, monika
And of course ... thanks for the file
I apperciate your prompt response
hope that is going to work for me
Yes, I tested it my self but not for so long tho ... and I didn't face any problems. You can get ROM 4.00.21 and O2 RSU 4.21 from www.yorch.net
Good luck ...
16MB SD card didn't fail to operate for over 48hours
I still havent't made up my mind to upgrade to the most recent software, mostly due to being afraid of loosing my piece of investment, heh
regards,
monika
after having received an advice ....
I have locked my 256MB SD card .... no content has been missing since then ... hurrrrrrrra !!!! 8)
seems like my problem is solved for now, at least until .. new and official T-mobile US ROM upgrade WM2003 arrives
regards,
monika

As a new new newbie, what I am tyring to do is change my ROM/radio stack??? to some thing other than 1.60.00WWE because I have bought and paid for the KSE True FAX software v 2.08 which is suppose to work on my XDAII ,but they also say on their web site that it will not work on the XDAII if the rom version is 1.60.00WWE ,,so I am rather perplex as to what to do ,,, and very worried that I will mess things up if I don't know exactly what is required and what sequince it has to be done in ,,, I also have a SD card reader and a 512 SD card and I am runing Windows XP on my PC,,, I have a separate fax number on my sim as well as my normal cell number can some one be so kind as to explain what I should do, I am to very cluded up with binaries and so forth Please help us New Newbies very much appreciated

read this about how you upgrade your xda2
I've backup the BOOTLOADER + CE +Radio + Ext ROM to a file(use the command d2s adress1 adress2.........) and save it to PC already. (XDA II ) (for both Eng. XDA II and Trad. Chinese XDA II)
I've backup both version of Eng, and Trad. Chinese.
And then I copy the Eng backup combine rom to SD card and enter the bootloader mode in the Trad. Chinese XDA II, it work, it start to flash and completed.
I copy the Trad.Chinese backup combine rom to SD card and enter the bootloader mode in the Eng. XDA II , it work, it start to flash and completed.
It's several months ago, they works.
Yesterday, I try both the Eng/Trad. Chinese ROM on a arabic i-Mate XDA II, it fail at bootloader mode and stop at SD downloading, sections =3, not allow update, I just don't know why?
It's a matter of country ID or different between XDA II and i-Mate? What can I do to continue the flash?
With many thanks

you want the whole bootloader + OSimage + radio + ext. ROM in 51.5M or just Bootloader + OSimage in 3xM?
Do you have FTP uploader provide? I can upload it to you.
cheers mate u r a life saver... check your PM
How do you backup bootloader? can you post the exact command lines u used (i have the link on how to update the 3 roms but it doesnt mention bootloader)
Also since it looks like we never online at the same time can u upload the image to the forum so everybody can use it, i think it would be big help for all the people in my situation
cheers fella
hi FlashGordon,
can you please show us how can you backup the BOOTLOADER + CE +Radio + Ext ROM? Can yu do it in XDA 1? Thanks
@flashgordon: it seems that all 1.72.xxx versions out there do an update of the bootloader from 1.01/1.03 to 1.06. i tried this by updating my o2 xda2 1.66.231ger to a qtek 2020 1.72.01ger (eplus). there is no set of update files out so far, so a brave guy copied the rom-images of his brand new qtek 2020 to sd-card and spread it around in a german ppc forum. unfortunately i got rid of my old bootloader 1.01 and have now 1.06. from this moment on i get the same message you get when i try to update using a non-o2 update. a second bad effect is that downgrading to version before 1.66 do no longer work.
this is no solution but a little more background informations for you.
good luck
peter
cool
Like satrapo said earlier. I 2 need the rom you have. either on an sd card of to flash to an sd card as i have one. Please could you send it me. i have WsFTP, ICQ, messenger or SD card through the post. I would give you some money when is end it back of course etc.... plenty ways to recieve it.. let me know which is best
Matthew
I've study on how to post the file in these 2 days.
now
CE (Asia O2 Eng)
Not sections=3 is not allow to upgrade.
Even Sections=1, Sections=2 will not allow to upgrade
But................
You can use your own Backup ROM to crack the restriction.

I'm useing an XDA IIi with wm2003 se, and active sync 4. the problem is that whenever i try and use the upgrade tool it fails for some reason. i'm gunna try again and take a screenshot so i can show you guys.
hi blackhat,
I downloaded the zip. It contained three *.rar files. I unpacked those as well but the part2.rar file wants to overwrite the first on. What to do?
Well, then I ran HimaUpgradeUT.exe. It starts but drops my activesync connection and then thells me there is a connection problem. How's that, do I have to install AS 4.0 first?
