Xdaunlock requires the wmodem in PPC2002. This is available in ROM 3.17.03

Why does it fail? How are you trying to upgrade?
Normally you can update to all versions....
Stefan
it says that it's for ver 3.17 and I have 3.14
so it won't let me upgrade
using exe
when tried using sd image and didn't work (don't recognize my sd)
the question is if there's an exe upgrade for 3.14 ?

How do you try it?
You mus copy the ROM-file via XDA-Tools to your SD-Card.
After inserting the card in your device a windows popup will format your card. Donßt agree to this.
Enter bootloader by pressing the powerbutton and perform a softreset.
Bootloader will automaticly detect, that there is a ROM-Image on the Card.
You have to press the Actionbutton to do it.
It should work....
A few days ago there was a link to a step-by-step description how to upgrade.
Search for it...

d/l new OSImageTool it asks for source nb1 (and doesn't find anywhere ..)
and destination (Can't set to my flash card)
So I don't really know how to transfer the image
Hi,
This probably the most asked question here yet I have one thing thats different to the others from what I have read.
I live in Australia, my 02 XDA ppc isnt sim locked or anything however my issue is related to the o/s I have ppc2002 I wanted to upgrade to 2003 and found a file for download and am unaware if this file is the correct file to download for upgrade to my XDA?
I also know I need a radiostack which will work on my XDa once it has been updated to 2003.
2003 file @ http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/PPC2003PE.nb1.zip
Radiostack which will work for me?????
Any help would be appreciated aswell as telling me what are the neccessary files on my PC to use to flash the ppc phone edition via my USB cradle also.
Any other info should be available with my profile.

Hi,
if ur phone works fine in making/receiveing calls, then all u need is a ROM upgrade. goto the kitchen at www.yorch.net and cook a ROM based on 4.00.05 ENG. select the file to be an exe file. download the file to ur PC and connect the xda to the cradle and make sure it's connected to power. run the exe and follow the instructions.
good luck
Hi,
Thanks Biso007 for all your info/help.
I am currently downloading the file that I 'cooked' as I type this out however one thing I was not sure about was in the string section was I to change the string to 4.00.05 as it was set on 3.16 ...
I did change it and its downloading I assume there should not be any issues.
If there is any concerns or if I did the wrong thing by that please inform me... BTW the file was made into an .exe.
Regards
A7MAD
Hi,
I visited www.yorch.net and 'cooked' my own ROM made it into an exe and have it downloaded right here it's a 4.05.00 rom flash but I have to ask what software can I use to flash the unit with because I do not have an SD card so I am stuck using my PC to do the flash, I have the official backup files for my ppc from 02's site so I am ok I guess if all else fails i will flash back to what I am currently using.
I wanted to flash the rom onto my ppc however what software can I use? I tried Microsofts Sync software I have 3.7 but it doesnt allow me to flash as it gives me an error message.

Any help would seriously be appreciated, but what is the compatible utility?

unfortunately this is a known issue with some ROMs that can't accept the exe method. you are stuck with the SD card upgrade.
Will adaptrom not work for this?
Hi,
I installed XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2 to unlock my SX56, but I really need PPC2003 on my device.
How do I go about installing the new PPC2003 Rom? Will my device still unlocked if I do this?
Thanks for your help,

I attached a gif oh the error
Re: I tried to run the instsall from Siemens and got an erro
the only way is to extract the nbf from the upgrade package and use sd-flash upgrade method. the original at&r siemens installer will always verify your xda rom b4 proceeding. another way would be flash back to at&t ppc2003 rom and the installer will work.

thats my question, anyone have some clues for a not-so savvy person to go from xda's rom to wm2003?
Thanks
hope this will help:
1. cook any wm2003 ROM from the kitchen at www.yorch.net and select the .nbf file type and download the resulted file which should be of 32 MB in size.
2. insert a 64 MB or higher SD card in your xda and use the OSImage tool in the XDAtools application to move this file to the SD card using the PC and the cradle.
3. go to the bootloader screen (power + soft reset). the xda will recognize the card content and it will be flashed.
4. do hard reset and you should get a new wm 2003 ROM by now
good luck
try this upgrade procedure
I got the same error ERROR 012: CHECK ERROR when running the PPC2003 upgrade from Siemens. So here what I did to get around this.
1. Download and install XDATools-Jeff. http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDAtools-Jeff.exe
2. To upgrade the ROM to A.30.09 ENG:
a. When install the upgrade package from Siemens, the install process created a folder named SX56 upgrade utility in your PC's Program Files folder.
b. You will find the ROM image in file NK.NBF in this path C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english\NK.NBF
c. Use the OSImageTool from the XDAtools installed in step 1.
d. Specify Source: C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english\NK.NBF
e. You will have 2 options for the Destination. The safest option will be download the image to the SD Memory Card, then install from the card. Or you can download the image directly to the XDA's internal ROM.
f. Folow the instruction on the screens. Should take about 5 minutes to download the image.
g. Cold boot after install is completed. Check your ROM version to make sure it is A.30.09 ENG
Note that the above procedure will only upgrade the ROM and not the Radio Stack. If you want to upgrade the Radio Stack, here is the procedure:
3. Upgrade to Radio Stack version A.33.02:
a. In the folder C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english, you will find the following 4 files:
monitor_ul_bs.m0
monitor_ul_bs.map
RSUpgrade.cp64
RSUpgrade.exe
b. Use ActiveSync to copy these 4 files to your Pocket_PC's Windows directory.
c. You will then run the RSUpgrade on your Pocket PC. This will install the RS upgrade. Use the File Explorer to locate the RSUpgrade.exe and then click on this object to execute.
d. When the upgrade is completed, cold boot, then check for the Radio Version to make sure it is A.33.02.
Good luck and hope this help!
di we have to upgrade to the n radio lavel ?
I have an unlocked [email protected] Sx56 that i got form rogers.com an AT&T canada company... I personally use the unit with a Fido (microcell) plan
i did upgrade it using the instructions you posted here and it was a success...
Do i have to upgrade to the latest Radio level... now iam at A.20.10 or i would lose my GSM capabily as they say here at the forum..
thanks in advance
Ps. I noticed that my sesitivity bar grapg is allways at bar one i used to have 2 to 3 bars or is just the new graphices for ppc2003.
Thanks for the mini guide. I do have a n00b question though. What is the purpose of upgrading the Radio Stack?
Also, I'm here in the US with a T-Mobile PPC phone which I am selling (just didn't get that much use out of it). As incentive to buyers, I offered to unlock it, originally thinking that I could just use the XDAunlock.exe to do it, but it turns out the phone is a 3.14.40, I have no serial cable (only the usb cradle), and no SD card (though it would hurt to pick up one).
So is it still possible for me to unlock this phone, I guess using the XDA Special Edition ROM, without having a SD card? From reading some stuff on here, I think that's right, but if I ever need to go back to the original ROM, or upgrade to one of the WM2003 ROM, I need an SD card to use with the XDAtools?
If anyone can PM me with some general info on this stuff I would greatly appreciate it, as I really don't have time right now to scour the forums as much as I'd like to. Basically, you can see my device info in my profile, so if you can give tips on how to unlock, backup original ROM, and what I can/cannot do without a SD card, that would be wonderful. XDAUSER's post gives a good guide on upgrading to the WM2003 so I guess that's covered. Thanks in advance for helping out a n00b.
Diggin the help!
Followed the instructions from XDAUSER...works great! Thank you!
Acutally, I performed the proceedure using the Seimens 2002 update first. When I reset the device, it booted up fine...it didn't update the radio stack during the install, however.... I reset the device, it came up and created an active sync - then just ran the 2003 update utility. Worked GREAT, and updated the radio stack automagically.
p.s. I don't have a memory card, so just did it right to the device! (I was chewing my nails!)
I really appreciate this site, and the users who give great advice... :wink:
Thanks again!
Re: try this upgrade procedure
XDAUser, when I cold booted, my ROM version said 30.05 - is that ok?
How do I look at my radio stack version? Can I only see that when I cold boot?
Thanks for all your help!

Upgrading Radio Stack
I'm new to the Pocket PC Phone device so not quite sure what all the enhancements goes into RS A.33.02. I heard that there is some GPRS enhancements for continous data connection. This is great if you use the XDA for data such as internet access. So far, I cannot find any official documentation from neither Siemens nor AT&T about this new RS???
My RS was at version A.20.10 and it was working fine with Cingular SIM while roaming on other networks such as T-Mobile or ATT. But as soon as I'm returning to the local service area, I got no signal on my XDA. I guess it is because I'm in a small town and their cellular network has not yet been upgraded. I contacted Cingular Technical Support but they refused to help me since I don't use their equipment. This is kindda sad because I'm working in this small town 80% of my time.
I then try to upgrade RS to the newest version A.33.02 from Siemens in hoping that it will fix the problem, but still no signal. I read somewhere in this forum that I should try to upgrad to T-Mobile RS, but when I try to download the T-Mobile upgrade file from Yorch.net, I cannot unzip the file because of its password protection. I tried to download the RS upgrade directly from T-Mobile, but I need to have a valid T-Mobile phone number (which I don't have) in order to download.
So for now, I have to use a Cingular cell phone while I'm in this small town and carry both a cell phone and my XDA. When I'm travelling outside of this local service area (roaming), I switch the SIM card. It such a pain and I hope I don't wear out the SIM card from switching it back/forth.
If the current RS is working for you, then don't upgrade it. Unless you know the new RS will give you the functionality that you will need. If you decided to upgrade, make sure you save a copy of the previous RS version in case you need to go back. Use the RS upgrade procedure as a guide.
Good Luck.
Re: Upgrading Radio Stack
I have Cingular and can't get their SIM card to work in my device - how did you do that? I was going to go out and get a T Mobile SIM instead but if I can get the Cingular to work, I won't.
Is it the radio stack version that makes using the Cingular SIM possible? If so, that is the radio stack I need to get.
Can you help me with getting that one?
TY!!!

quick side question: where can I find the T-mobie final beta of WM2003? Did a search of the forum and can't find any info.
Also, if I use the Siemens WM2003 upgrade, then is there info I have to enter in by hand to get the phone to continue to connect to the T-mobile network? Would it just be the same values that were programmed in my phone prior to upgrading? Thx.

If you downloaded and install the upgrade from Siemens, then you should get the ROM A.30.09 ENG image. I downloaded the english version here:
http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...D%2FHD%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda%2F,00.html
To check your current ROM/RS version:
Start>Settings, select System tab, click Device Information.
Re: try this upgrade procedure
Ok here is what I have in my system settings:
ROM version A.30.05 ENG
ROM date 11/17/03
Radio version 6.12
Protocol Version 324e4
I didn't get version 30.09 when I installed from this link below, I got the 30.05.
What is the radio stack you are on that allows you to use Cingular? Do you know how I can upgrade to that radio stack?

Re: try this upgrade procedure
I don't understand why your current ROM is not at A.30.09. Did you try to run any others ROM upgrade beside the one from Siemens? My thinking is that if you run another ROM upgrade, the file NK.NBF may got replaced. Did you try manual upgrade procedure immediately after running the Siemens' upgrade?
I knew the RS version A.20.10 will work with Cingular in roaming mode. I tried this RS version while I'm in Houston Texas, and also in Indianapolis Indiana. But when I arrived at my office in a small town 60 miles from Indianapolis, which is the Cingular local service where I got my cell phone, my XDA stopped working. I then upgrade RS to A.33.02 and still no luck.
I will be back to Houston in Feb 19, then will test the XDA with RS A.33.02.
To get the the RS A.20.10, go to www.yorch.net, click Upgrades, then select A.20.10 to download.

Re: try this upgrade procedure
What I did was download from Siemens and it wouldn't let me install because I was using the XDA Special Edition ROM, so I installed that OSIMage tool and let that upgrade my XDA. That is all I did. Was I supposed to run another ROM upgrade besides that?
I'll wait on getting that new radio stack until I hear back from you about the other part
Thanks so much!!! You are great.

hi,
Sum1 here who a T-Mobile subscriber? I have a T-Mobile PocketPC that I need to unlock tho I'm not a T-Mobile subcriber. I need a T-Mobile mobile number to get the upgrade at http://www.t-mobile.com/products/handhelds/pocketpc/download_popup.asp
Or if someone already downloded the upgrade where can I download it without keying-in the mobile number? Thanks.
BTW, I have a question, if I download the upgrade, can I now use the XDAunlock.exe file here (is my ROM automatically updated)? My ROM version now is 3.14.40 ENG. I'm having trouble with the ROM updater here since im not linux literate.
Email me at [email protected]. Thanks a lot
I already downloaded the TMobile upgrade. Can somebody tell me if this upgrade will indeed upgrade my ROM to the correct ROM version with wirelss modem feature to I can use the XDAunlock.exe to unlock my xda? Thanks
The answer is NO, the latest TMO upgrade is 4.01.00 and it has no wmodem.exe application. If you need to unlock your device, go to www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ and use the tool there.
If it doesn't work, try the kitchen at www.yorch.net and cook a new 3.17 based ROM and flash your XDA and unlock it, then you can upgrade to TMO 4.01.00 later.
BTW, the TMO upgrade affects the RSU part. So, unless you are a TMO user you better use the .nbf file only with either SD card or use the XDAtools to flash your device.
Good luck.
Hi Biso,
How can I "cook" a rom? http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php when I go to that website, the only thing needed to be selected are the 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro (6656 kB available) and XDA-developers AutoConfig data (113 kB) under it. and the unlocking option right? This wil be the first to use my pocket pc device, which option should I select under How would you like your ROM?
installer EXE
zipped NK.nb1 (SD-card flashing)
zipped NK.nbf (advanced users)
and should I do anything on the NBF header string?
Thanks man.
If I use the intaller EXE file, how will I "flash" it on my device? What are the differences between using the exe,nk.nb1 and nk.nbf? Thanks again.
I notice that above the page there is an indication, by default when I go to the page (without checking or unchecking anything) the top of the page states:
space in ROM: 6656 kB
used: 7729 kB
free: -1072 kB
*overload*
Should I limit my ROM on 6656 kB (meaning that I have to uncheck other options)? My deveice is an XDA 1. Thank you.
Hi ...
Yes, you have to uncheck some optional s/w till the guage line is "Green".
If you are not familiar with the SD method, just select the EXE type. It will generate a 15 MB exe file which you should download it to your PC. Connect your XDA to your PC throught the cradle and ActiveSync and run the exe file while the cradle is connected to the power supply and follow the instructions on the screen.
Good luck.
Thanks man for the quick reply.
Sorry I'm getting confused. Should I transfer the exe file to the device and run the exe file on the device?
Thanks again
The exe file runs from your desktop, your xda will need to be synced with your pc before running the exe.
Thanks so this is what I have to do:
First sync my device (cradle connected to the power supply) and after synching, run the exe file on my desktop computer (no need to transfer on my device or anything?). That's it?
Is this fail-proof? Will it not damage my device if ever there was an interruption or sumthing? How can I make sure that I can go fail-proof? Kinda worried coz I just got hold of my xda 1 (T-Mobile edition), I'm a palm user before. Thanks
BTW, my PocketPC Version is 3.0.12039 (Build 11178). ROM version 3.14.40 ENG. I don't know if my PocketPC is 2002 or 2003. I'll be using the yorch.net ROM (http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php). All compatible?
ROM 3.14 is a PPC2002 one and all ROMs on Yorch.net is WM2003 except the 3.17 one.
Just to ensure it's a safe process, remove the SIM and SD card from the device and stop any running applications on your PC.
Good luck ...
Thans Biso. How bout a step by step guide? Pls pls pls? Id really appreciate it man.
Like
1. Sync the device (Power connected to the cradle)
2. Run the Rom Exe file
3. etc.
Just to be sure. BTW, is the exe file really just 150KB? Is that all I need to unlock my device?
Hi ...
There is nothing really needed more than what you just wrote:
1. Connect the XDA to the cradle and sync while the power is connected.
2. Run the EXE file and follow the instructions on the screen.
BTW, the EXE file should be at least 15 MB, seems your ROM was not "cooked" well .... try again
Ohh ok. I downloaded twice and all I got was 150kb. how will I know that the ROM i got is "cooked" well so I can be free of troubles. Can you just give me a link to the right/"well cooked" ROM? Thanks man.
One more thing, should I run the ROM EXE file while my device is synching or after the synch?
it's still 150 kb. Here's what it says when I view the log
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files
seems there is something wrong with the kitchen work space ... it happens sometimes ... no big issue.
You may try this kitchen as well http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
P.S: run the EXE file after the device is synced
which one should I pick? Pocket PC 2002 ROM or Windows Mobile 2003 ROM. And what's the difference. Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks for the replies.
Biso,
Can I use an MMC card for flashing? I MIGHT be able to borrow an MMC card. Also, I dont have a card reader but I have a digital camera which I can use to transfer the ROM image from my desktop computer to the card. Would you think it would work? Thanks again man.
will the exe file below work for me?

Radio version: 6.18
Protocol version: 324e4
Pocket PC Version 3.0.12039 (Build 11178) (Don't know if this is 2002 or 2003 pocketpc)
Pls reply. thanks
Hi ...
1. As the figure tells, WM2003 is the latest than PPC2002.
2. I can recommend to use TMO 4.01.00 as I have it on my device for almost 3 months now with no problems so far (few things have to be tweaked tho), but I heard good news about AT&T 30.09 ROM as well.
3. I can't confirm that MMC can replace SD card. I saw some threads on this but no final results.
4. The answer is NO, the only way to move the NBF file to the SD card is either a card writer or by using XDAtools with the XDA cradle. I don't think the card will be recognized by the bootloader otherwise.
5. SER-V12 is a PPC2002 ROM and useful only if you need to unlock your device (which I believe it's already unlocked).
No I just want to unlock the device, that's it I don;t really want a ROM upgrade, just so happens that I need to have a ROM upgrade to unlock the device
SO I can use the SER-V12? Thanks a lot.
My friend bought long time ago; on ebay. Appears sim-locked.
Now i'm trying to help him in unlocking, i have read lot of treads, and tryed several programs, but still no luck.
Can you guys please help me and advise how to ulock the phone.
Configuration is:
T-Mobile pw10b1
MS Pocket PC v.3.0.12039 (buid 11178)
ROM 3.08.10 ENG (07/11/02)
Radio 6.02
Protocol 324e4
Bootloader 5.15
Network adapters:
AsyncMac1 NDISWAN Adapter
NE2000 Compatible Ethernet driver
PPTP1 NDISWAN Adapter
What I did:
using this page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_Unlock2
-Installed ActiveSync from MS site;
-Backup the ROM to SD and to PC using XDATools;
-Tryed to flash bootloader with 'pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0' but it returns an error 'Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect'
?? May be it's because i'm already on 5.15 bootloader?
-then i tried to Install the 'XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2' but error said that BIOS is for pw10A1, not mine.
?? where can i get Special ROM for pw10b1?
-then i'm tried to go to http://www.romkitchen.de/, but didn't use the ROM because not sure if works (phone is not mine). Which ROM to use, will WM2003 SE work on mine phone? Will it remove SIMlock?
- i'm reading about the XDAunlock program, on web said: Please note that XDAunlock will only work on device with a PPC2002 ROM that has the Wireless Modem feature. Do I have PPC2002? Do I have Wireless Modem?
Thank you in advance for help!
ps is it possible to get unlock-code some where? Upgrading ROM can be too risky (phone is not mine...)
First of all, since you have already backuped the ROM of the devie would you be able to send me the File?
Cocnerning XDA Special ROM. Normally faslhing that should work either for PW10A and for PW10B devices. There is a tool called adaptrom (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=adaptROM) that can be used for flashing.
But I´m not quite sure if this ROM will work for unlocking the device. The Radio Stack of the device is also quite old. But you can give it a try. Securest way for flashing is via SD-Card.
Done this hundred of times already.....

try reading this about unlock
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UnlockWiz/Wallaby
I put my ROM:
http://rapidshare.de/files/38022282/rombackup2.nbf.html
Also, I put XDA-developers Special Edition ROM - just copied NK.nbf file onto SD-card using XDA tools.
But XDAunlock didn't run on xda boot... but i found this file in \Windows\ directory and run manually - and it's WORKS!
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!!!
After that I upgraded Radio to 6.24.00 (no sure I this would remove sim-lock, didn't test; hope this version is stable/better that my previous 6.02)
Now i need to find a way to install dual-lauout (Russian) and to install some good Media Player (with avi, mp3, mov, wma and 3gp) - can you give me any advices?
Thanks again for all your activities and for your site!
ps forgot to ask - my devise became pw10A1, not pw10B1, is there are any risks with that?
