How can I upgrade my o2 xda to windows pocket pc 2003 ??
www.yorch.net ROM kitchen
Good luck
Read everything three times before doing anything with a downloaded ROM.
BACK UP your current ROM and save it to a PC before you install a new ROM.
Don't change your radio stack unless you have a good reason to and you know that the new stack will work well with your carrier.
Back up your data before you start playing with the bootloader. The first time I tried the bootloader the PDA did a cold boot when I came out of the bootloader program. My Outlook data (contacts, appointments, Tasks, etc) were backed up but I lost some files in RAM that I hadn't saved to the SD card.
Yorch's kitchen is the best way to get started. You'll probably want to try a few different options to figure out what apps you want to squeeze into the ROM.
The pocketplus in the ROM is a 15-day trial version. When you first boot your PDA it will be set to some old date depending on the ROM version - as soon as you set the date to the curent date the 15-day trial on PocketPlus will expire - either look it over before changing the PDA's date or go to the Pocketplus website and pay the license fee to get an unlock code.
Have fun and BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

I've a XDA PPC 2002 phone (from O2 Netherlends). My provider
(O2) publishes Radio and ROM Stack upgrades on almost 2-
months basis.
I've upgraded my device several times with the newest
updates. But, since last upgrades Windows Media Player
doesnt work anymore. I did soft-reset, reinstalled Media player and skins but it doesnt work. It keeps asking for a skin file and then disappears.
If I browse the internet, I can see that this problem must be ocurred to more people.
At the moment my XDA's Radio Version is 4.21.00 and ROM
Version 3.17.03 ENG.
Anyone any tip??
I have rom 3.17.03 eng.
radio 4.21.000.
protocol 32s54,
no problems here with media player 8.5 build 12177
Dead Media Player
Solution:
Use a registry editor, goto \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys. This is where you have hardware button mapping. You should only have 2 keys there (Mine is named 40C1 and 40C2).
If you have the window media issue, you should find another key there, which was put by some other softwares installation, for e.g. Fonix voice central. You need to delete it.
if you dont have a registry editor, download this free one from phm software.

ntabikha ,
I looked into the registry, but there are only 2 keys: 40C1 and 40C2.
Has it to do with TomTom???
Kimmie, I am also running Tomtom, so I dont think that is the problem either.
no... i fix my player all the time, because i always try softwares that change those settings. hmmm.
maybe it only works on the original version, not the update you installed.
try removing the updated version, all it does is give u skins. if you dont c are for those, remove it. that will default you back to the original.
my company replaced my xda 5 times, because THEY cant fix it. hahaha
good luck
i did a hard-reset and MediaPlayer worked! But, when I did a restore (of my backup), MediaPlayer came up with the same problem. :-(
Are you restoring a backup from a previous ROM update?
If so, then that is probably the issue...with any ROM update, you need to start from square one and not restore a backup from a previous ROM as it may revert any new improvements to the registry, and what not, of the latest ROM.
You are right. It is better to reinstall all the applications.
But if you have a lot of software, it is very hard to do it all over again!
Hi,
i have a 32mb xda and after upgrading to wm2003 i lose the checkboxes in dialogs, if i soft reset then they come back for a while and tapping on the text next to the box enables/disables the option but i get no boxes!
most strange, also i had to turn off the ir recieve but when turned off i still got the error for com 1 with navigator, i had to uncheck it then soft reset to apply that change.
i cooked the rom from jeffs kitchen a while ago and was going to redo it but it is unavailable and Yorchs only has the 4.0.05 rom.
Any ideas on the missing dialog checkboxes.
Regards
Smallboy.
Hi ! I had the same problem (even with no other app installed ! Just wm2003 and nothing else) , and I never solved it ... till the 4.01.00 went out. I tried this one and had no problem. All attempts I made with earlier versions were unsuccessfull ! Unfortunately, no rom kitchen use this version yet ! So I have a 'blank' rom version from T-Mobile found somewhere on a post on xda-developers.
Hope this help !
cheers for the reply,
as i unbderstand it the 4.1 rom only support gsm 900/1900 which is no good for me as a uk/orange customer.
regards
I have the same problem.
Im using an xda 2 on o2 with the following software
tom-tom navigator 2
gps 2.08
towa's patch
resco explorer
pocketinformant
spb pocketplus
claunch
clearnotify
Anyone else see a pattern?

Ditto for me. They're still "there", if you click your stylus over where they should be, you'll get them to work.
A reset clears the problem.
Looks like there's a leak that is using up the GDI heap. You can get the same type of error on desktop Windows.
the error is caused by navigator, i installed v2.24 on mine and also when i installed it on my mates xdaII he now has the same problem with checkboxes and radio buttons missing, they come back after a soft reset but go after running navigator..

smallboy. You can use 4.01.00 on Orange as long as you only update the CE Rom and not the radio stack. Just make sure you don't go onto the Band select page on the phone settings.
Hi Swifty,
Can you give me a dl site for 4.1.00 rom.
cheers m8

You need to just extract the CE rom using something like winzip, then use XDA Tools to put it onto an SD card and flash to your phone.
HTH

cheers Swifty, i have this now, all i need is a way of making the nb1 file into an .exe
UPDATE
I have now reflashed to 4.01.00 (t-mobile) and then installed navigator and voice but not gps, upgraded nav to 2.24 then installed gps 2.09
No missing checkboxes now but stil get the initial strtup problem of no map, which is cured by going to navigator mode.
Hello to everyone,
one of my installed applications (TT5) needed a patched file. After
installing this patch my phone and contacts does not work anymore
(more accurate: Phone & contacts apps does not show any GUI - it
doesn't matter how I start them).
After removing the mentioned application I tried a lot to get them work
again, but without success. I decided to reinstall WM5.
Now the buttons HW-buttons does not work. They try to start the linked
app, but nothing happens - the taskbar shows shortly the name of them.
Also they are not displayed by the taskmanager.
Everytime when I reinstall WM5 (HimaUpgradeUt) I recognized, that
previous installed stuff is still in memory.
My Questions:
How can I make a REAL CLEAN BLANK WM5 installation (inclusive other
memory parts, if the above mentioned patch was destructive to them)?
If you have any question, I will try to answer them here.
Thank you in advance!

RAGO :lol:
Thanks for fast reply.
This does not work for me... any other idea???
Current setup (I downgraded few minutes ago):
-------------------------------------------------------
WM2003
ROM: 1.72.01GER
Radio: 1.17.00
ExtROM: (-nothing entered here-)
Thank you in advance!
ur current setup shows that u don't have Magneto on ur device anymore....therefore,my 1st post instruction won't work unless u have WM2005 installed....
Magneto install softwares and data on Rom,so they are persistent memory and will survive even flashing....
now do the following:
-access the storage folder from ur explorer (not windows exp.) and format it....
-unlock or unhide extended ROM...the delete all data....
other way?....here u go:
-reinstall Magneto on ur device,then do what i advised in my above post....u will have a clean storage...then downgrade if u want.... :wink:
Good luck...

Have a nice week @all
Hi folks,
I've really been trying to find the information I'm asking for. So please just tell me if my questions have been asked before
I'm using the unbranded Tytn with Eplus (ger). The device itself works and I wouldn't change anything about the software if it wasn't for Active Sync. I sometimes have to end it with the Task Manager and start it again before it will sync anything. He doesn't even connect to the Exchange server. Sometimes there's the message "waiting for network" (or similar, own translation). Sometimes there simply NO message at all (where he usually says "looking for changes", etc.
Finally he claims the host is unreachable - other applications (Pocket IE, e.g.) don't see a problem getting their packets out.
This is great with Push Mail. As far as I can say he gets his problems when I'm moving (driving car, even when going to the other side of a building): He changing the cell phone masts. He loses his connection and is uncapable of regaining it.
Does anyone know this problem? And if, is it fixed by any update? I'd say since it seems to be an application-only problem upgrading the windows rom should be enough, shouldn't it?
And how can I use the rom from Vodafone with my original extended rom to keep my provider settings?
First of all try the EXtROM unlocker to make sure it works on your current ROM or look for your ExtROM on the Wiki.
If you can unlock your or if your ExtROM is on the Wiki then you can just update the windows ROM. When the ROM is updated and you go through the initial setup, wait for it to say it will install some additional programs. Hit soft eset before the timer counts down to the install of the ExtROM to stop it.
Then use the ExtROM unlocker and delete all the stuff in there. Then put your ExtROM contents in there. Next, either run the ExtROM stuff manually or I usually do a hard reset and let the device do it automatically.
If that doesn't fix your connection problems I would suggest exchanging it for a new one if possible.
I also like the fact you refer to your TyTN as a 'He.'

Mine is a she...anyways though
jokinawa I thought we could have the ext rom initiate itseld unless the cabs were signed with htc's thingy? unless this has change recently. Oh how I would love to try the south africa rom with a cingular ext rom and some goodies...

I use the Imate 1.20 ROM with the Softbank ExtROM that autoinstalled after I replaced them and did a hard reset. I also did it previously with the HTC ROMs.
then it should work fine since all those cabs came from the carrier. but i meant for say installing ms voice command
Reference:
I think since its capabilities to frustrate his owner this devices definitely have to have a soul. Or are at least living somehow.
Okay, I have to admit, "she" would be more appropriate in this case, but...
I'm still used to the update procedures from my old Qtek 9090, where the rom, radio and ext were in 3 seperate image files and where you could just delete those you didn't want to be upgraded.
I wasn't sure if I would have had all the Vodafone stuff and couldn't reverse it. But you seem quite sure that their individual stuff is in the Ext I'll have a try tonight.
My Ext can be downloaded from the site. So I can skip extracting it.
By the way: I the ftp server sometimes down? I couldn't connect yesterday from home. Now, from work, it works fine and fast.
No, didn't really work. I've got the impression that it is a little bit more reliable, but what is a push mail service that can't provide at least 99% availability? If I have to look at my phone every hour to make sure Active Sync is still doing what it is supposed to do.
I've not heard of many people experiencing this problem, but since it is only Active Sync (other programs don't have this problem) I don't see what I would get by having the phone replaced... ?
Hi guys
I made a backup of my ameo with sprite before my upgrade to wm6 (with rom 005TMO) and Internet Sharing wasnt working properly, so I made a new backup on wm6 so i can return to wm5. When i returned i thinked the 2 operating systems merged and im having a lot of problems. In the about of the phone it still says wm6. Internet sharing still doesnt work and i have errors on boot and incorrect shortcuts...
Is there a way to restore the sprite backup file like the rom was installed, so that nothing is running and everything can be restored perfectly
Thanks in advance
Even though sprite has a rom upgrade mode. You must follow specific instructions for the backup prior to upgrade and also during the restore....basically the rule of thumb is NEVER, EVER restore after a rom upgrade (even wm5 to wm5 or wm6 to wm6)
If you just need data and not apps in main memory, you can use sprite explorer to copy files from previous backups...but then again, more people have problems with this, then say it works good...
So Never, Never restore a backup from a previous rom version. You should just hard reset and reload the apps. The internet sharing is probably something on the pc side and not a problem on the PDA. I used internet sharing everyday on both wm5 and wm6..
What are you trying to use with internet sharing? Any chance your carrier, may block that? Usually, you just connect and eveything works..Especially if using Vista Ultimate.
Thanks for the reply... actually i paid to allow my pda to share it unlimited 3g connection with my computer so i dont think thats the problem, and im not even sure if its because of the wm6 as i havnt tried internet sharing for quite some time. Basically, im connected the ameo to the pc via usb and after it connects, i open the internet sharing app on the pda and press connect. It seems that the pda because the network adapter and for that connection, i get a DNS ip and default gateway ip through its DHCP but when i open the browser, nothing
As for the hard reset, how do u do that... i have all the cds
thanks
Just tried hard reset, strangely it went back as if i had just installed wm6 - i guess the real factory settings are gone forever, but im going to try internet sharing again, fingers crossed

Try bluetooth. Usb needs to be prepared before you use it. You need to swotch off syncing, before.
Ok, after the hard reset back to factory settings of wm6, Internet sharing works. I guess when i was trying to install Bluetooth DUN (for my tomtom) it messed it up.
Anyway thanks - and btw - Resco explorer TODAY is wicked
