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?

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.

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

Just spoke to head Techie at O2 and the new UK ROM will be posted this Friday - I have an advanced copy and it rocks - with all the advanced fixes including the Bluetooth/Blackberry updates and PC 2003 stuff too.

Man, another bluff-man... never mind about him...
Have you tried O2Ger version? I saw some data about bluetooth fixes, did they put some efforts on HandsFree profiling? any idea? info?
BTW, i'm writing a lil prog for WM03 that will emulate hands-free music playing at your headset, don't u wanna be a beta tester for that? if you have bt head of course! Mine is HBH65 and now it can play only midi files and some low-sampled wavs and can not cojointly work with radio stack on (( so i need beta testers to do some research on headsets specifications and behavior, maybe your will work ok.
BR [CR+LF]
HTC, I will take part in that beta test if you need more testers.

yep count me in as well m8
Zetex :wink:
Sorry to sound smug - didn't mean to cause a stir. I can share but only on a 56kb connection so a bit difficult. The full pack will be 25mb. See the O2 reply I got a few mins ago.
The expected size of the download is 25 Mb.
There is also a .pdf instruction file that can be downloaded, this should be approx 120kb
"The ROM download combines both the ROM and Radio updates in one (unlike the previous updates for the original XDA where they were separate).
These should be fully self extracting/installing, but for further info, the .pdf should be checked before running the installation.
Kind regards
O2 Data Support Team"
I have JABRA 250 and XDA BT200 headset if I can help?
RobinHood,
How did you get the file.... O2 did'nt send it to you on an email did they????
that must have taken hours for a 25mb file on a 56k connection..
:shock:

I am going to be getting my XDA II in a coupld of days (Australia) I'm guessing it will not have the latest firmware/software on it, is the UK, German and Australian versions different in any way? I am new to the PDA marked (First one, still have not played with one yet, but looking forward to it).
Please post some photos of your new ROM for us to see. Thank you.
XDAII AND Plantronics Bluetooth-Headset M3000
I have XDAII AND Plantronics Bluetooth-Headset M3000, if you need a beta tester....
So, which version is this upgrade? is it the 1.60 or is it newer?
RobinHood >
you cannot not to share it! :shock: :?
On the front page, there was a comment that the GER new ROM features:
- New O2 Active User Interface
Anyone know what this will look like ? What new features it has ?
TIA
can't wait till Friday
O2 UK Update will be posted on their website tomorrow. The Installation and feature instructions are attached.
the "new" gui in german has only minor but nice updates.
The only noticeable change is under My XDA, which changed.
Most obviouse you will have a field "my programs" where you can apply your own programs, I think very useful so you don't need the stylus anymore to start for example the navigator while driving.

QTEK 2020
Will this update work on the QTEK 2020. I sure do hope so!
Handsfree not icluded
Hey every1
I've downloade the pdf file read trough it and I've notice in the software changes under bluetooth, the handsfree profile is still missing.
I thought that this upgrade was going to resolve this problem??
Any comment from anyone.
Regards
Gigi
It says in the pdf file that handsfree profile and spp is supported and improved, where are you reading that it isnt?
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...

could you please upload your ext.ROM ?
I hope it doesn't include in your promise to microsoft.
thank for advanced.

Dear,
Follow my link to original developers of WM2003SE here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14373
HTH
Man, I am so insecure of which rom to use after all the zillion editions that surface each day, that I am afraid of using a buggy one. Better wait for a stable confirmed image, I guess.
Why not combine your own?
I use 2.06WWE (mysteryman) as found in the other posts, kept it as is, only exchanging the radio stack to 1.18 (picked up from 2.02)
I find it pretty stable, only has some trouble getting avantgo to work properly...
Problem of combining is that i don't have time to get that much into it, i'm afraid. My normal working hours are so hard that i hardly have time to sleep, so I'd like to get a working edition that is just plug'n'play as it's so nicely put by M$
Can you post your setupfile ?
If you dont have enough time, dont upgrade. Sounds like your to busy to worry about things like phones. Use 2 cups and some string instead. ROM upgrade your carrier pigeon, they are also more reliable.
I'd recommend you wait until a proper upgrade comes out from your phone provider.
The upgrades (especically SIN v3.5) do work well and don't take a whole load of time to install, but you can have problems.
I guess the questions should be, is there a Rom Kitchen
version of WM2003SE?
The Kitchens are the best way to cook up a custom rom with or without your desired ingredients.
Also, is there an XDA I version of WM2003SE?
I just upgraded and it work like dream! I also got the widcomm 1.4.x to work perfectly with my superduper version which was bundled with my norwegian BT dongle. No problem with that "license" message either. Anyone need that package, let me know and I can post it.
Also, syncing with Async using BT works superb too.
NB! My stringphone is already upgraded ;-)
widcomm issue
Hi!
How did ou get past the "license" message? Could you post it?
:wink:

Er, people. When you say that Widcomm software is installed and working for you, can you also post what type of Bluetooth dongle/USB adapter you are using?
I think the license issue arises from the fact that Widcomm forced each BT dongle/USB adapter vendor to hardcode the device ID into a btsec.dll file issued with the Widcomm BT installation files.
If you have the software from someone, and you are using the same type of BT dongle/USB adapter as that guy, then you are in luck, coz the license is the same.
I had 2 dongles, one a generic CSR device and another Belkin one. Both comes with their version of Widcomm software, and the software wouldn't cross-interact with both devices because of the license issue.
What a DIM comm idea!
I was browsing a Orange Outlet today and saw the Hurricane for 20 pounds, I was tempted to buy it just to see how much I could upgrade it.
I've never been to this side of the forum before, I own a Trinity but, let me ask, is wm6.1 cooked roms working ok on the hurricane?
For those of you in Britain, I'll be more than happy to tell you where i saw the Hurricane for 20 pounds.
Then again, maybe that's expensive, is it?
i don't know what prices are in Britain, but in Poland 20 pounds it's real good price for this device.
At this moment you can upgrade it to WM 6.1 Standard (Chinese/English) or to WM 6.1 Prof
ps. very soon, maybe tomorrow i will upload my wm 6.1 Standard rom
I think I am going to buy that phone and give it go, too bad it isn't 3G. Thanks for the info, i truly appreciate it.

where abouts?also what does it come with (box,manuals etc etc)
There's a Orange outlet Clearance store in Braintree, Essex at the Freeport Designer Village. http://www.freeport-braintree.com/
I don't know exactly where you are but, if you are close or passing by check it out. It does come in the box with Manuals and everything the only drawback is, it is locked to Orange (no problem for you) and you must buy it with 10 pounds topup from Orange, bummer.

When you upload your WM 6.1 Pro, please let me know. I have bought the phone and unlocked it after several tries. Anyway it is unlocked and good get a cooked rom on it now. My thing is I don't know how to use the bin rom, this is real new to me. If I could get a ruu rom that would be real good for me, if not you might have to give me detail destructions on how to use a bin Rom.
there are no ruu wm6/6.1 roms. only *.bin format.
if you don't know how to upgrade rom with this file format, read other threads.
i must change Arcsoft MMS to better and add Java Emulator, then i will upload my rom
