I've been reading all the posts about upgrading to WM2003SE for the last three days but it is still way too confusing.
What I am looking for is to upgrade my T-Mobile MDAII to WM2003SE and the best working radio stack and extended ROM.
It would be real nice if someone has this and would upload it.
Other wise, I would be really gratefull if anyone could guide me through the process.

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.

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!

hello, ive been looking thru the forums at the wm2003se roms and im starting to get confused with which one is the best and most stable, there seems to be soo many different verions with so many different extended roms, could someone please tell me which is best wm2003se and extended rom to use please? im on the orange network in the uk )
I too am confused on which one is the best for me. I have a Qtek 2020 and I need an english/USA version. Rom vs. 1.72.00WWE Radio vs. 1.14.00. Please advise me which one will work the best for me.
WM2003SE
I have searched high and low and tried to register at the only site that I could find that had the rom upgrade with no success.
[/b]Can someone just please give me the link to a place where I can get and download the latest ROM for my PPC O2 XDA 11...
RESEARCH THE FORUM!
Hi guys!
There is NOT such thing as the BEST ROM/Ext ROM! It's a matter of taste and needs.
If you made a bit of research, you'll find the qualified opinions of the most experienced users and developers around, and should make your choices: BT Sync? HandsFree profile? Handwriting recognition? Your preferred language? Intellipad? VoiceDial? Landscape? and the hundreds of documented bugs!
My advice: get ONLY what you need. The farther you go, the greater are the chances for something to fail.
Our machines are great, but UNSUPPORTED.
Enjoy your trials!

Ok... I need the autoconfig for Telstra MMS Settings
I have a 8525 and would like to upgrade to the new WM6. Like the title states I'm new to this, so I ask you all what is the best rom version for WM6 and what is the easiest way to do it. Also what kind of complications could I be looking at. Thanks in advcance.
YOU HAVE TO READ THE WIKI.
Everything is there and nothing that anyone can post here in a few sentences will take away from knowing how not to brick your phone.
I am new as well, took the time to read the info, understand the workings and just today I flashed my phone for the third time.
WM6 Vanilla, then WMXL .20 came out and today WM6 LVSW came out which is although not the most fun ROM (tech-head wise) it is by far the most stable.
Does Anybody know about WM6 for O2 XDA Stealth ?
Thanks.
welcome to xda-developers... on the top right hand part of your screen... there is a search function... use it..
short answer... no chance...
And the slightly longer answer (I wish all those nagging newbies would read this...): O2 took a long time getting WM5 to work right on the Atom line. When I bought mine, 4-5 months after release, it had barely gotten past the Alpha stage in ROMs! Who wants WM6, which is really nothing that shiny and new, with a ton of new bugs, incompatible software and annoyances?
WM6 on XDA Stealth?!?
And what about the post of user James Ngo from 2007-03-21 17:09 here:
http://www.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_stealth-reviews-1709.php
I can dish out unsubstantiated statements just as well as him: I have Mac OS running on my Atom right now, and it works just like the IPhone. And I dual boot with Linux Ubuntu, when I want to. See how easy it is?
I do not think there is a chance of getting WM6 on Stealth, It would be ubber cool thou

Hi, this is my first time posting so I'll apoligize in advance if this has been brought up already. I have a Cingular/AT&T 8525 with WM6 and I am wondering if there are any new updates/upgrades available. I feal like this phone could do SO much more but it's so plain and boring. I don't know if my phone qualifies for WM6.5 but it looks WAY better than what I'm running. Anyway, any suggestions would be great. Even if it's like changing the font, overview, setup, today screen...something with more flashiness!! Thanks.
Go to WM06 section of the forum and look at the roms available...
And if you DON'T Hard SPL 1st, we don't wanna know about your brand new brick...
