Hi Guys,
Just to say THANKS to everyone out there, not only the developers but the normal mortals too - who put in effort to help people here.
I have uploaded the Windows mobile 2003 to my site. Its on a super mega link (great words :wink: ) I get 1meg a sec+ when i download from it at work !
http://www.ali.nildram.co.uk/xda/
Cheers Guys
Ali
You are my hero....... :lol:
:lol:
Your welcome !
Thanks again XDA-Developers
Any "gotcha's" in this release. Is it pretty stable?
Regards

other than can't turn off gprs easily... its fab
system wide cleartype
excellent sms + contact management
generally more polished release !
Well I have taken the plunge already and it upgraded like a dream.
Although you cannot initially see massive changes it just feels better and looks a bit more appealing (only subtley though). Its a bit like when XP (without the god awful new nav system) was released, everything felt a bit crisper.
All in all I am chuffed with it and look forward to getting to grips with whats underneath.
Cheers again Ali, and although I am VERY grateful I cannot wait for a SE Rom to see just what weird and wonderful things the development gods bring us.
Just as and addon to this post - I am an EXTREMELY happy bunny now as I have been having major issues with my XDA not recognising my SMS message centre number previous and not allowing me to send texts. This happened no matter what Rom I used. U/g to PPC2003 and lo and behold shove the sim in and its all sorted.
For once (even though I dont think its down to the OS) I will take my hat off to MS and say ta.
HI Ali,
Great work.
Does this exe file work with windows 98?
Anyone out there had used win 98 with this and no problems?
Cheers
Vic
hello mate,
To be honest, I have never tried it with Win98, only XP.
I would defiantely make sure before upgrading !
Btw, do you happen to have the 4.005 release?
I like the direct approach :lol:
no :roll:
I want it though !... anyone care to share and I will upload it for all
I really hate people that have the release and yet publish on the forum and yet giving reason that cannot be understood.
It would be better not to share what you have if you do not intend to let the public to enjoy it. :?
exactly,
Whats the point of talking about it and then keeping it yourself?
we should share !
or find a 'loners' community

GPRS Disconnect????
I think its good but how do i dc from GPRS? This sucks. I still love the se 1.2. I love pocket console.
XDA Asian version
Hi,
what if I use the latest version of Windows Mobile 2003 Ali uploaded on my XDA ? Current versions are:
ROM version: 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date: 10/11/02
Radio: 4.17
Protocol: 32S54
Will I have problems with the radio version ?
Thanks,
So what now ?
:lol: So what now ? :?:
Downloaded Installed Working some kind of GREAT !
Is it the latest version ?
Ali-Butt posted the same release as was posted here 2 weeks ago. its 4.00.01. it just works via activestink. as Xda-developers posted before, updating through programme A is not the safest thing to do. just in case have ur sd card reader ready. also there is a slight chance that ur bootloader might get corrupt. they said it happened. that's why safest way to do it is via SD card.

WOAAAH, i'm downloading it with 2300 kb/sec. Nice connection dude! :shock:

Hi tried the download got Winzip can not open file.
Help

I had the same problem at first. I set it off downloading twice and each time it didn't complete the 15.2MB (or whatever), one around 3.4 and another 1.7ish. Even though the file seemed to complete on both occasions.
What I did in the end was sit and watch it, whilst leaving the original screen with the download link loaded...rather than closing it once the download began. That time it worked a treat.
Cheers

Is it possible?
The new XDA IIs has WM2003SE in the ROM image, so would it be possible to steal it from there and add it to a home cooked XDA II rom?
Is there a ROM Kitchen available for the XDA II, or is it only available for the XDA I?
Thanks in advance for your help.
1. still Not Possible at the moment !

1. It will never be possible to steal the complete ROM, since the hardware is different and unlike PC-operating systems, PocketPC ROMS don't have drivers for multitude of hardware. Hardware independant pieces of software could be chipped out and ported to another, like SRS.
2. :lol:
I've used WM2003SE on my XDA2 & it works fine. In fact seemed to be rather more stable than the one it replaces.
It was a NFR version & I've since gone back to 1.72.181 'cos I want Blackberry
Then you must be one of the lucky few who got their hands on a XDAII WM2003SE Rom.
If NFR means NotForSale, that is why we never saw it.
But if you could share, plz
What I meant was that a WM2003 ROM of an XDAIIs can not be used on a XDAII.
I'm pretty sure I could make you a WM2003SE with blackberry support.

Do you still have any of this ROM???? If so please post it here asap as it means a lot of effort can be saved in trying to rip it.
mr puff, maybe you could share the WM2003Se?
pfft zif he'll share
IF is exists WHY hasnt anyone uploaded a WM2003SE ROM for Himalaya???
This means we get (amongst others) Landscape, plus the Possibilities of using the new Intellidialer
I would very much like to try it!!!
Puff: PLZ upload the rom package. We wont tell anyone! :wink: And we wont resell it. promise!
i'm sure someone would volunteer to get the file and upload it somewhere...
Should be nice to trie ... MR Puff or other nice guy could share your rom ...
:lol:
Is a law problem ? NDA ?
Bye

I think like edsub.
we will keep a secret and never talk to anyone about it.
People,
You are placing him in very akward position. He is probably under NDA of some kind. Those "releases" usualy very easy to track down to a particular person :roll:
Wait until some kind of "group" will release it. :twisted:
Puff we are all waiting your cooperation
please if you still have the SE ROM. :wink:
Was better don't know that there is this kind of ROM ... now we know ...
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Just a thought
Let's assume that this Himalaya SE ROM exists.
All major providers would easily have access to it.
The only reason for not releasing that, and ask people involved to sign NDAs, is to push sales of the newer hardware.
Which is an acceptable policy, from the viewpoint of a single company.
But when the good old competition works as it should, there is always one of the player breaking these situations.
If this does not happen, it is easy to guess that there is an agreement between the providers for not releasing the upgrade.
Now, that is against the law.
Just a thought, in case anyone involved in antitrust commissions would be reading this forum ...
FYI...

To Puff
could you please upload your ext.ROM ?
I hope it doesn't include in your promise to microsoft.
thank for advanced.
Hi,
New to this site but glad I found it, what a handy resource!
I recently purchased a 2nd user O2 XDA II (about 12 months old) which is current setup in its factory default state. I have been reading allot about users upgrading their Himalya models to Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition and I wanted to know if the same is possible for the UK O2 XDA II's?
Also will this upgrade lock the Phone and/or reduce the functionality of the phone?
What pre-upgrade tasks do I need to perform first e.g apply updates first etc.
Thanks in advance,
Taz
Watch this site carefully to find out about the SE version - there has been a breakthrough in the last few hours in which mamaich has translated the only official SE ROM (a Chinese one) into English. Work continues...
No Himalaya has been sold with an official English WM2003SE ROM as far as we know, but it may be only time....
What is the existing ROM version of your machine? The latest O2 UK ROM version is 1.72 which you can download from http://www.my-xda.com/xda2_soft.html . It's probably worth upgrading to that if your machine is a year old and is still on its original 1.12 (?) ROM.
Upgrading ROM doesn't re-lock an unlocked phone.
Before upgrading the ROM, backup all important data - it'll be lost in the update.
upgrade
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WIN03 UPGRADES ON SITE AT THE MO BUT STILL IN THE TESTING STAGE.
I HAVE USED BOTH BUT THEY ARE NOT, JUST THERE YET.
AT THE MOMENT I'M BACK ON 1.72 WAITING TO SEE DEVELOEMENTS.
NOT SURE YET IF ITS WORTH THE BOTHER TO GHANGE AS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PROGS APART FROM VISUAL IS KINDA MINIMAL TO USE NON TECHIES, AND THERE IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM IN THE SENSE THAT SOME PROGS DON'T WORK ON SE THAT DO ON 1.72 AND VISA VERSA SO I'M TOLD. ALTOUGH IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SOFTWARE LOADED THEN NOT A REAL PROBLEM.
BUT HEY WHAT A GREAT SITE, I'M LEARNING NEW STUFF DAILY, SOON I MAY BE A TECHY TOO!

Ha ha, cheers guys.
Yeah I came across the WM2003SE stuff by accident, was searching the net for some completely unrelated info and came across a link that caught my eye - would you believe it we have not one but two versions to choose from.
I am not too sure if I want to upgrade just yet, one of the reasons I bought a PDA in the first place was to start coding my own apps and as part of a large scale enterprise application I have been developing for over a year now.
If compatibility is an issue then I will hold off for now, I know Microsoft are slowly releasing WM2003SE related development stuff so I don't think it will be long before I take the plunge as I don't mind hacking my PDA's to peices.
As a credit to this site, I was searching various Pocket PC sites on the net (most are to bloated with info or just a bit too American for me) and came across XDA-Developers.com. It was because of the all of the info available on this site that I purchased my XDA II
I have already hacked it apart, I am running the latest 1.72 ROM and 1.17 Radio (is it worth ugrading to 1.18) as well as finally getting Pocket Hack Master to run the thing at 600Mhz with a 200Mhz bus (I will post the correct settings once I have verified that they are indeed the most stable ones).
Thanks again and good luck with WM2003SE!

First let me convey a BIG thanks to the creators of the ATOM exec WM6 & 6.1 ROMs. But the Owners of ATOM exec has limited choice of works as far as WM6 or 6.1 ROM goes. GARMIN & nhocbanme can you help us with more options. Can we have your ROM also for ATOM exec besides ATOM ot PURE... Thanks

If you just used the search button you can find the WM6.1 for Atom Exec.
Try to use it, it's becoming useless nowadays

There is only one person in this whole world for AtomExec WM6.1 WWE. The ROM is still not perfect yet that the cause may be the original machine and drivers were not well designed.
Don't tell me you have a perfect solution.
My AtomExec still freezes quit a bit under either WM6.0 or WM6.1.

I don't have a solution to your problem so don't even ask for a perfect one. WM6.1 had just recently been released here in xda-dev and your asking this early for a better solution? Isn't this the same case when we all have the first taste of WM6? everyone goes gaga asking for a perfect ROM wherein they should be thankful enough for the ones who had given new life to our devices. Fixing bugs one at a time, developing and still researching how to make the ROM's clean.
just my 2 cents mate hehehe
Else get an SE! im eyeing on the X1 XPERIA right now hehehe. How bout you? what do you think your next device would be???
I already got a K850i

Lets not get lost in the real issue... 1st of all we must thank xda-developers for giving a new life to our ATOMs... my only concern was can we have more versions of wm6 or 6.1 for ATOM Exec. ... ROM from GARMIN or nhocbanme would be welcomed.
