Help! Problems after upgrading

Hi all,
After I upgraded to WM2003SE, my phone keeps hanging and hard reset, like once to twice a day. Very very frustrating!
Worse still, I dun receive SMSes!! After like a few hours after reboot, when someone sends me an SMS, i just dun receive it! Even after I reboot! The SMS just disappears!
I have to keep sending SMS to myself to know if my SMS is working and when I dun receive back my SMS, I use cleanmail to reset my Messenging software. So frustrating I feel like slamming the phone sometimes! :x
My phone locks up and when others call, they can hear ringing tone but my phone is like locked up and I can't answer the call.
I've scanned the forum a few times am gonna try a Sprite backup upgrade for the SMS problems but dun think it'd solve the other problems.
Maybe they are all related?
I've already stopped using my phone, now using a Nokia phone instead until I can stop this madness! :shock:
PLEASE HELP!!!!!! :?

no help?
nobody can help?
Just a thought, but you didn't use Sprite Backup to restore after you upgraded did you? - you have to install all your applications etc again and not use the restore (which is why I've been putting it off).
Other than that, I can't help - maybe somebody else can help...

Use only the latest sprite if you decide to go that route.
Earlier versions had issues with no incoming SMS etc after a rstore.
The newest version works very well
Goos luck
my first thought also :restore after an upgrade => troubles.
I don't know many who run 2.02, most of us run 2.06 or 2.20 (I think)
1. which pda is it ?
2.the rom that you upgraded to was provided by who ?
3.have you tried to download the official rom release of your phone and
tried to downgrading from what ever rom you are using to the official released one ?
4.and if you really want wm2003se then go for mystermans rom edition its stable and fast. download it frm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15382&start=0

Downgrade to WM5 on Congular 8525

I know this is somewhere but I couldn't find anything definitive. I put WM6 on my phone but want to put it back to WM5. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I have to ask this - WHY??????????
-There are some programs that are not WM6 compatible
-There are some features/programs missing from the cooked ROMs
-If you sell the phone, and the person needs warranty work done, you want WM5
-You need to send it in for warranty repair
-You want actual tech support from your operator or HTC (even though this forum is better)
-You like being behind the times?

You don't NEED to do ANYTHING! Personally, I'd keep 1.40.Oli as your SPL, and 1.38.00.10 as your radio, and put on Cingular's 2.06 rom if you want WM5. Use Black 2.0 if you want WM6.. You can always downgrade radio and SPL if you need to later on, but, for now, leave it alone.
Well the only reason I ask is because I do plan on selling the phone, so I just want to make sure That I'm doing everything right...if that makes sense? I did super CID the phone though...

Leave the radio and HardSPL on the phone if you are selling it. Id say they were a good upgrade to sell alongside the device.
To mrvanx
In your this guide you use romkoch to generate NBH from NB files.
http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/Downgrade/
But in the romkoch software there is a tab NBH to NB tab, why is it that your quide don't use this to extract the NBH file?
I personally prefer to use NBHextract.
Im changing to guide to use a different app soon anyway.
Do I need to use that app to downrade if I am going to use an official rom from Cingular... their updated one?

I really like the shogun rom. Here on XDA he has some v2 basis but on the japanese site he has the shogun roms.... I love this version. I had schaps but I found it slow (3.54c). This version of shogun (freedom) is great. Very quick and something like 57mb free storage and instead of have a bunch of apps coming installed, he gives you a folder called Shogun OEM with the cabs to the apps in it so you can install them if you want. For example, if you like HTC HOME, you can install it after with one of the cabs instead of having it integrated and not be able to remove it simply as in schap's.
Talk about freedom! This is the first samurai-me rom I have tried.
Well well well,you know what?You convinced me!I'm going to flash it with this last one!Thanx again for everything!Woow i can't wait!

I am not sure if the wm6 shogun freedom rom includes hardspl (it might).. but I would flash hardspl first because it will let you flash to ANY rom ANY time without worrying about flashing a rom with a different CID.
Remember your phone was bootloader only? It is because you tried to flash a rom that was a different CID... if you had hardspl installed, you would not have had any problems before.
Hardspl v7 will change your IPL to 1.04 and SPL to 2.10.Olipro.
Ok thanks for your advice!

Windows Mobile 6.1 on New Sprint Rom??

I know there has to be a way to add Windows Mobile 6.1 to the new Sprint Rom. Can someone tell me how to add it or do I have to wait for someone to cook up a ROM?

Thaks for helping out another fellow membr.
.....But he can't be serious.
If you crack open your phone, pull the ROM chip, place it in a EEPROM burner, then enter the following code, you'll have 6.1.
01010101 00101101 01010000 10101111 01011001 01010011 11010010 10000111 11101010 10101011 01010010 10101010 10000010 10100111 11101101 11100011 00010111 01010101 01011001 10101101 10001110 01010111 01010101 00001101 11111101 01010101 01111111
(Guess I should've done that in HEX instead of binary....not that I know what the heck I'm talking about...haven't burned an EEPROM in over a decade.)
Yes, maybe a bit rude, but I'm sure you are learning a valuable lesson here. There are no stupid questions......just people who are too lazy to put forth any effort whatsoever.

Surely, you jest?
maybe im asking the question wrong or there is something I don't uderstand. I am new to this and I did install one of dcd roms on my phone, but the new sprint rom came out yesterday. Everything is working fine on my phone finally. I just don't have Windows 6.1 like I used to. Is there a file I can download to upgrade or do I have to totally install a different rom?

You have to download a different ROM. You can't do an upgrade to your existing ROM to take it from 6 to 6.1.

6.1 just came out recently so Sprint did not have time to include it in their recent release. To get 6.1 you will need to flash a custom ROM such as DCDs.
Straight up answer
Unlike regular programs the OS is built into the ROM the only way to upgrade the OS is to Build it into the ROM.

Is there a way to back up existing ROM?

I'm giving up on WM6 because of the missing DUN (and a T9 bug).
I have another 3125 with the original ROM in it.
Is there a way that I can back up that ROM to my PC and install it to "upgraded" phone?
If not, is the original ROM available anywhere? I've been googling for two days and nothing. The closest thing is the AKU 3.4 from HTC which is missing DUN as well.
I've tried the WM6_BT_DUN cab file and that didn't help.

Thanks lewnetoons, I saw that ROM on the wiki, but I'm under the impression this is the DUNless version of WM5. Am I wrong?

That's very nice of you but please don't do that just to help me. I'd feel terrible if shyt happened while you were flashing. You know, there are hundreds of billions of lightning bolts in Florida every day....
