There are so many threads regarding flashing any flavors of Typhoon to WM5 or downgrade from WM5 to any ROM of choice.
I have looked everywhere and did not find anything regarding flashing a US model SMT5600 from ATT to Cingular and vice versa. I have try to use SD flash method and upon pressing down volume key, I got a Not allow error message.
Can anyone please help...
i would like to do this, where would i find the cingular rom at?
I have not found a Cingular spacific Rom for that phone, Are you useing WM05? if not I have a location where you can D/L the wm05 rom, as far as the cingular stuff, what where you looking for in the Cingular part? ringtones, Picks or just the settings?
If you want the WM05 rom d/l from here.(reg might be required)

Okay, newbie upgrader here.
I've read a bunch in these forums, and it's been very helpful.
I upgraded my personal PPCPE (TMO) using their software, and it works great.
I was round my friend's house last night, and he has a PPCPE (AT&T).
Well, we downloaded the v30.09 firmware from Siemens website.
We backed up all the data.
We intalled the firmware.
At the end of the firmeware update, it said to turn the device off by using the hard reset button (that you have to unsccrew the stylus for.) and leave it off for a minute.
We did this.
It then said to turn it back on using the same reset button.
We did this.
However, we get the "Designed for Windows Mobile" logo, and the AT&T logo.
We get ROM versions:
G1.3.3
RA.33.02
A.30.09
After that nothing.
Having hastily given him my phone, I came home with his broken phone.
Well, having done a LOT of reading on this site, I got to use Jeff's tools to create a bootimage on an SD card, and I have been able to get the image flashed and loaded.
They device now boots.
However, I want to get the AT&T software on there as this is what's gonna make my buddy the most happy.
The image I have on there right now is SERv12.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me the best way to get this back to AT&T software running WM2003.
Thanks.
Okay, more info.
I have been successfully upgrading the ROM using the SD flash method.
I have been using Jeff's XDAtools to create the images.
I have been downloading ROM's from yorc and xdaweblink.
I have always tried versions without any software added to the ROM.
I have tried every version of 30.09 that I could get my hands on, even the one in the "SX56 upgrade utility" folder that the Siemens site created.
None have worked.
I have tried 4.00.05 ENG from yorc - didn't work (cool southpark screen though.)
I have tried 4.01.16 ENG from weblink - didn't work (Tmo verison)
I have tried 4.01.00 ENG beta from weblink - didn't work (Tmo beta version.)
I have tried A.30.07 ENG beta from weblink - didn't work (AT&T NFR version.)
I have tried 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro from yorc -
When I say that the version don't work; here's what I mean.
I get the logo screen.
I get the three ROM versions in the bottom right.
The system then locks up and does not progress any further.
I have left the system on overnight with no difference.
The backlight comes on, but nothing else works.
I have tried the upgrades with and without a SIM card in place.
The phone was originally locked, but has subsequently been unlocked.
I have finally tried going back to A.20.17 from yorc - the original AT&T WM2002 version.
This version at least runs.
I still have the new radio stack running, but I am back to WM2002.
Does anyone have ANY idea how I might get this upgraded to WM2003.
My buddy want to run the MS Voice Command.
Also, with the updated Radio Stack, will he be able to connect continiously to the GPRS connection (sorry, I don't know too much about AT&T.) He really want the always-on internet.
Thanks for ANY advice given.

This happened to me using a mmc memory card to do the upgrade, it looked like it was doing everything ok, completed and gave the ok but on cold boot just hung, try another sd card, it just MIGHT work.
I'll look around for anohter SD card and see if that helps.
FYI, I've tried running the upgrade from the cradle/USB a couple of times, but that made no difference.
Also, since I was able to go back to WM2002 with the SD card, I can't see it being bad.
But thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go.

I have upgraded to WM2003SE ROM, and upgraded Radio ROM to A20.10. My device is PH10A. But when I insert a sim card, these always no GSM, I could not dial any phone call.
Could anyone tell me that I should flash which Radio ROM to my device? Thanks
problem connecting to any network after radio upgrade
Hi,
I am having the same problem connecting to any cell network on my phone. It is a Qtek 1020 PW10A1 Rom version 4.02.04 ENG.
The problem started after updating the Radio stack software. The signal icon always shows up as no signal, this happens on all networks. I have another 1020 with the same Rom version but a different radio version A33.02 that is working. I have tried to search for this version to download or a solution for this problem for a few days now with no luck and was wondering if any one could help?
I have come across many other radio versions that say they are compatible with this model but each produce the same result, no signal.
Thanks in advance
(PS this is my first post!)
Hi Shadow,
I also have a 1020 with RSU 33.02 installed. If I knew how to extract the RSU then I could upload it here. It could do with being on the FTP. I didn't find anything on the Wiki about it, wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
Regards,
Neil.
I’m new to this so this may be wrong but I have found out that if I go into the wallaby boot loader and push the contacts button I get these options:
CE ROM TO SD
BOOT TO SD
GSM ROM TO SD
CE+GSM TO SD
Is the “GSM ROM TO SD” option the one that’s needed to be able to get the RSU extracted or is this something completely different?
When I select it, it tells me to connect the rs232 and run pc monitor – two things I don’t have.

Anyone found RSU 33.02 rom yet? or have any sugestions on how i could fix my phone :?:
Thanks
Has anyone managed to unlock there m600 and if you have how did you manage it. I have tried all the things suggested on the forum and still no luck with the sim unlocking.
On a different topic, i managed to unhide the extended rom only to find that there was nothing in it. Does anyone know where the install files are stored. Looking at the reg implies that there may be a partion that is hidden with them on.
Any ideas
Right, let me get this straight...
"Lockiwiz can only unlock your Prophet device if your Rom version is 1.XX.XXX. For the new AKU2 ROMS (i.e Orange M600 ROM) there is no solution yet."
If this is the case, then can we use A-Wizard or the hacked romupdateutility to FLASH back to a pre-AKU2 ROM and then use Lokiwiz to unlock the device, and then flash back to a 'latest AKU2 ROM' (Dopod one is latest and greatest atm) and continue to have a SIM UNLOCKED device???
Please can someone try this? I get my M600 in a week and need to be able to unlock it. Am in the USA atm and need to use a T-Mobile SIM in it.
Appreciate any help.
Hello everyone,
I am new to Windows Mobiles. I have bought a used T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard), The problem with this is all the keys except Power Button, Align Screen & Camera button hangs after a minute or two the mobile is turned-on. Nothing works. I have to use soft keys to make a call. If I press Camera button the camera interface appears, when I close it, all keys started to work normally but again after one or two minutes it hangs and I would have to again use the same technique to make them work. Sometimes all the keys work normally for more than a minute but again hangs. I have searched in all the system settings & I can't find any option to configure it. I have searched many threads on this site to solve this problem but can't find the appropriate answer. It seems to me someone have burned wrong ROM or did something wrong with its ROM for which it is acting like this. Given are the specs of ROM.
IPL/SPL = 2.26. G3
T-Mobile ROM.
I am using SIM of my operator other than T-Mobile. (SIM Unlocked)
Also If I try to Hard-Reset the phone, When It say me to "Press Send to restore factory default settings or anyother key to quite", All keys hangs and I have to make a soft reset to get into working.
Can anyone tell me what the problem and how can i solve it ?
How do I know whether its CID Unlocked or not ?
Does Upgrading/Reinstalling the ROM will solve the problem ?
Is it hardware problem ?
Thanks in advance.
One more thing
I also have did a hard-reset by following the given procedure.
Start->Settings->System->Clear Storage.
It installed the OS after boot and my installed softwares disappeared. Which means it really hard-reseted itself, But still the problem isn't solved.
I am pretty much sure now its ROM/Hardware problem !!
Any idea about the solution ?
Have you tried to flash a new ROM yet? That may solve the problem, it made my power button work again.

I'm not sure, but that sounds to be seems like hardware problems. I'm not sure if that screen actually has anything to do with the ROM at all, which at best, it is IPL related? I would suggest you to try an offical T-Mobile ROM, which includes everything (i.e. IPL, SPL, and ROM) and see if this problem persists.
Can't find the official T-Mobile ROM.
Thanks for your replies. Can you please tell me from where I can find the Official T-Mobile ROM, I have searched on this site & xda-developers ftp site a lot, Some links are broken and somewhere FTP requires authentication. Also can't find it on Google. I think ruu_prodigy_1081002_104_10910_tmo_usa_ship is the original ROM file but can't find it anywhere except the T-mobile site which require a valid T-mobile no. Can you post some valid like here to download the file.
Thanks again.
If you were to go Wiki, at the ROM table page, bottom line, you would to find this
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/
which should be a global site (if not US site), and if you go into it, 'MDA Vario', there is a ROM EXE to update to AKU. I saw it as UK which probably because I have an UK ip, you try going in and see if you have US version instead.
Also, for the TMobile US, you can consider getting a PAYG card just to get a valid tmobile number to get into the page to download stuff, IF you are sure there are something there (e.g. and if PAYG is cheap)
Ok, I got the UK version. I'll give it a try.

Well, I have tried Official ROM. But the problem is still there. I am also now pretty much sure that its a hardware problem. I guess the mobile needs to go to scrap now.
Hey everyone, I have a Audiovox branded Cingular SMT5600 phone with the original factory ROM on it. Today I turned it on and it is just sitting with the three color bars and is stuck. Is there anyone out there that has a working link to the original Cingular ROM for 2003SE that can with the phone? I want to restore it to factory. i have never flashed it or unlocked it, so I am afraid if I just try and load a WM5 or WM6 ROM on it as it is not unlocked I will be in a worse situation so that is why I want to load the factory original. Any help would be great!!!
i found the .BN file in the forum's on this site, thanks! Anyone tell me how to flash the backup rom in the .BIN format to my phone?
never mind, I figured out the Camera button was stuck on my phone. A simple disassembly and adjustment of the housing fixed it!! Thanks to the forums!
