xda2 rom upgrade to wm2003 is it worth it? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi just recently done the o2 rom upgrade on my xda2 02 network UK and i've recently been given a windoze mobile 2003 disk is it worth upgrading to this? what are the benifits what problems will it cause if any?
Cheers
James

all xda2 devices come with mw2003
only xda1 comes or used to with 2002
so if you should upgrade depend on
if the rom is newer then the one you already have
also you should not upgrade if you dont have any issues
and the later rom dont have any inprovements that you like to have

New Smartphone Rom

Hi, I own the QTEK 2020 and a couple of months ago updated it with the dangard rom update. Now it seems there is a new update in the form of the WM2003SE and I need to know if I cn get one for my phone as I dont have an XDA2, imate, himalaya or any such device but a QTEK 2020!
I want it too
When you can find one, please let me know, because I'm in searching of one too :roll:
i have heard nothing about any 2003SE for xda update
where did you hear that ?
Microsoft Creates New Opportunity for Windows Mobile Developers With New Software Platforms and Tools
Microsoft unveils the new Windows Mobile™ 2003 Second Edition software focused on enabling unprecedented hardware innnovation and application development.
ANother question.
I saw this update on the front page:
A sotware update was released for the iMate (Himalaya / XDA II). It's a ROM update which holds a new OS ROM and not just a new extended ROM.
i.e. Imate 1.66
if i install this upgrade on my qtek 2020 would it work and will my phone still retain its triband capabilities?

Version 1.72 seriously discussed

Can anyone share with us information on version 1.72 for XDA2: features, benefits, pros, cons... ?
Is worth upgrading from O2 1.60 ?
thanks
There are allready many threads on this.
But to conclude:
If you don't have any issues with your current version: stay with it.
You might consider 1.72 (the Qtek or iMate versions, NOT the T-Mobile beta) especially when:
1. You need certain Bluetooth options (ie serial port protocol) and don't want to mess around with hacks or extra 'tools'
2. Battery life is important
For me these points were enough to DO the upgrade (coming from 1.63 T-Mobile NL). And very happy with it.
Keep in mind that (unless you find a 1.72 from your own operator) you will have quite some work with getting all the customisations right.
One of these days I will post a good working set (no issues in a month holiday!!) of customisations to be used as a an extended rom for T-Mobile NL
i'm currently using the T-Mobile ROM v1.72WWE had no problem with it. the batt life was improved noticeably. I was using the O2 ROM v1.66WWE
as for my bluetooth i'm using the widcomm BT-PPC/PE v1.0.0 build 1400. no problems with it except that it turns off whenever i set my phone to standby mode.
downlaod
i have a qtek 2020 with rom 1.66 and it is doing a lot of problem which version is better and where can i download it

many thanks to [Krueger] Dr. Stein, mamaich, itsme, edsub...
you are great man.
Most of the post regarding ROM Salads and customizations are beyond what I wish to perform on my device. To dat I have only loaded T-Mobile ROM upgrades that required nothing more than loading them automatically. I currently have the T-Mobile U7K Beta on my MDA II.
Can someone please explain the following:
1. Is there another T-Mobile 1.72 WWE available that I can load, non-beta?
2. I see other Custom ROMs on this site that state T-Mobile. Can I simply load those automatically or will I have to get into country ID, .nbf files, etc?

Hi. Gratefuled
maybe this can help you : :?: :?:

ajong,
Thanks for the link. I have looked at that page/thread, but I think what I want is still not available.
I'm looking for an official T-Mobile 1.72 ROM, si I can get rid of the 1.72 Beta, or I'm looking for someone's custom ROM that I can load just like I could an official one. In other wors the custom I suppose would be ok, but I do not want to mess around with opeing the ROM and disecting and changing certain settings. Like I say, it just may not be out there.

I want to upgrade to 2003SE, But I'm helpless... any help??

I need to upgrade to WM2003SE, but I really read a lot of topics in this forum about that, I heard some people say that this version is good and has no problems, and some else say that it is full of problems. This is my very first time to try upgrading my XDA, I heard that it may become just a piece of junk if anything fails.. so I am very worried about that guys.
So I need 2 things from you:
I need to know if this upgrade worth it or not, will my device die if anything fails? I need to be sure before going ahead.
If the upgrade worth it, could you give me the link where I can download the latest version of WM2003SE that does not have any problems?
Also I will be thankful if you have any tips or things to avoid during the upgrade process.
My device is:
QTEK 2020
R 0.10
G 1337.18
D 1.66 WWE
My carrier is Vodafone Egypt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16916
The only differance is the O2 startup image instead of the imate image. Other than that the rom is very good, not very stable, but deffinetely worth it.
PS. If the phone regects the upgrade at the beginning, retry and it should upgrade.
So you mean that this link you posted, contains the WM2003SE that is compatible with my QTEK2020? and does it support my carrier? "Vodafone Egypt" as it is written that it only supports Australian Carriers: - Optus, Telstra & Vodafone..

Any XDAII WM5 for Asia? (Hong Kong)

As I am using XDA II for 2003se which is 2.0600WWE downloaded in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16880). The radio is 1.18 and the bootloader is 1.01. As I can upgrade my rom from 2003 to 2003se without any problem, I would like to upgrade it to WM5 in these few days.
However, I face some problems in my updating.
I have try XDA_WM2k5_2.01a64WWE, XDA_WM2k5_2.01a00WWE, however, I cannot search the phone network after upgrade rom. As I have read some posts before, I know that there may be my radio's problem, so I upgrade my radio also. I have try 1.17, 1.18, 1.08 with these rom. Unlucky, it also cannot search phone network.
So. for the only solution is get back 2003se with "Asia O2 XDA II WM 2003 SE Upgrade" in this forum. I can get my network back.
As the result, I would like to ask that what problem am I facing and what can I do? Is it the problem of bootloader ? or the problem of radio?
And also, there have "Asia upgrade" for WM5? It helps me a lot and I need not to afraid the networking problem.
Please help me. .
I come from Hong Kong
I am using 4.2 for sync

From 2003se to 2005 back to 2002 ?

Hi,
I´m haveing a XDAII from O².
For 2 Month ago I upgraded it to WM 2005 to test the Navigation Software.
Ans Now I have to use 2002.
Is there a chance to downgrade my WM 2005 to 2002 ?
Thanks in advance.
[EDIT]
Ah sorry I now see I already downgraded to 2003se
pocketpc2002 have never been released for xdaII
are you sure you dont mean 2003 ?
the upgrade is the same nomatter if you up or downgrade
thanx for your answer.
I need to check the navigation soft. with the Qtek 1010.
And I thought if I can upgrade my Himalaya why not downgrade it to 2002
windows on pc's have setups for all types of pc's
pocketpc's which are more limited in rom size
ONLY! have the setup of the hardware they have
so rom are eunuiq for each device
no pocketpc2002 rom was ever made (as far as i know much less released) for himalaya
much like wm2005 was never released for Qtek 1010
