Special Edition ROM

Hi,
I'm new to all this. I just got my first XDA and i need to unlock my sim code. I'm not sure how to do all this unix stuff. Is there anyone with all this done. And could they send me a copy so i can flash it to my rom?
My Rom ver. is 3.14.13 if thats any help
Also is this rom version too early for the XDAunlock tool?
Thanks

Seek and ye shall find
Your best bet is to search through the relevant posts (its a long and laborious job) but you will find what you are after.
Also look at the Rom Kitchen and you will be able to 'cook' your own rom and then flash it via your cradle. I do not have a Unix machine but the kitchen will create an exe for you to download.
As for sending you one, I doubt it as the rom is usually about 15Mb in size and so is a no no. Get to the kitchen, start cooking and enjoy the fruits of the XDA gurus labours.
As a word of warning some people may not be so forthcoming with info as they prefer people to search for their answer before posting. Just to let you know and prevent annoyance with regular posters

Goddame, go to : http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen
It's the easiest way, you can cook there your ROM, and after download it ,even as an .exe.
Just be carefull to read the different choices, depending on the ROM you choose first . (don't choose a T-Mobile one if you're not with T-Mobile . I have an O2 XDA UK , and I choose 4.0011 ENG WM 2003, all is OK , before I had upgrade the RSU -> 4.21 on the O2 site
You should read the different threads about that on the forum, so you can have the feed back of others, what to do...or not, problems, etc....

Thanks for your help.. I should have looked around a bit more. I have had a look at the ROm Kitchen and it makes things alot easyer. I keep looking about for more info.
Thanks again.

There is a tool to unlock your XDA made by the super guys here .. check the Unlock forum ... Hint: it doesn't work with ROM 4.xx

Does that mean that if I have a Locked O2 XDA and I install 4.00.11 ENG WM2003, my phone will still be locked?
Also, can I upgrade my O2 XDA 3.15.15 ENG to 4.00.11 ENG WM2003?????
Thanks Amit

Correct. First cook a ROM based on 3.17.03, unlock the phone using XDAunlock from Start/Programs/Phone., and then run the installer exe for a ROM based on 4.00.11 (for instance).
Also, can I upgrade my O2 XDA 3.15.15 ENG to 4.00.11 ENG WM2003?????

Yes you can.

Thanks Lads I've updated my XDA no problem.
I got a update to 3.17.03 from O2s website then cooked me a Rom update to 4.00.11 WM2003 in the Rom Kitchen.
The only problem i have now is that vodafone won't give me the settings for there GPRS connection because the phone isn't a vodafone autorised phone. Does any one have the settings for vodafone in Ireland? If so please forward them.
Thanks

This is the very essence of silliness. "I want to pay you money to use the service your business is about providing." "No, you're not authorized to pay us money to use the service our business is about providing."

lol

I got on to vodafone a gave them loads. So they put me onto there data support and he emailed me the settings and it worked. Why do you have to go through so much s**t to get what you want off companies like these????
Any how it's working fine.
Thanks everyone for your help!!
My XDA is running perfect :lol:

The wmodem appication is included.
I cann´t say it exactly, but the help file only talks about serial and infrared, so i think, there is no USB...

Stefan,

Thanks a lot.

WHich Radio Stack version is incorporated?
Still 4.21 or is it a higher one? how can I distinguish this from the RSU upgrade file?

Rstack 3.23
I did:
From there go to your Start folder inside the Windows folder. From there find the link to the RSUpgrade file and delete it. (Don't worry about deleting a file, this is just a link to it and we will re-install a good copy of this file)
Now, restart your PDA. It should return to your normal desktop but with no phone connection as the Radio Stack is not installed. From here, place it back on it's cradle/usb connection.
Just as stated above by Matt, you need a copy of the RSUpgade installation or a ROM upgrade insallation that includes the RSUpgrade. Unpack this, I used Winzip to do this. Find these files:
monitor_ul_bs.m0
monitor_ul_bs.map
RSUpgrade.cp64
RSUPgrade.exe
Now, using Activesync, explore to your Windows folder on your XDA and copy those files from your Computer to there. They must over write all the old files.
Disconnect from your PC and run the RSUPgrade.exe file from file manager. It worked 10 for 10 when I did it this way so it should work for you also.
and ended up with radio stack 3.23.11 Protokoll 32S54
NO idea what it means for me going back from 4.21?

T-Mobile Germany released official WM2003 update 4.01.19 GER
Hi Stefan !
Work's great! And all other cooked app's too.
Only the AutoStart folder is not correct:
-Handsfree(.exe)
-poutlook
-SMSReceiver(.exe)
-Ussd(.exe)
This files (.ece) are now DLL's - I think the are called by a nother app.

Hi there,
Is this rom in german or in english ?
I mean: if I upgrade with it, will I end up with a german speaking xda or an english one ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answer.

Thanks for the answer.
I have tried to downgrade my RSU with this and it worked.
I am going to make a thread on it to announce it.

4.01.19 ?
Stefan,
If you happen to hear of an european/asian (ie 900/1800) official rom on a 4.01.19, I would be very glad to read your thread !
Thanks,
Bob.

I have the Offical O2 (UK) PPC 2003 (4.01.12 ENG) Rom!!!

I have just got my xda back from being fixed by O2 and they seem to have upgraded my rom.
Before I sent the xda to them the rom was simply the latest ppc2002 rom from their website.
However now everything has changed and my rom version is 4.01.12 ENG
This seems to be an official release form O2 as I have their auto configuration and boot screen.
My bootloader has also been upgraded to V5.22.
I have backed up the rom using XDATools and hope to upload it to the site although its approx 31mb.
This seems to be all official and what everyone has been waiting for however if i've completly missed the point please let me know (politely please )
As an added note I have two broken xda's for sale: -
1) A 64mb XDA with the above rom installed. The screen is smashed, and will need replacing, or you could just use the motherboard in another xda. The unit does not charge for some reason, possibly the fuse which is a simple enough fix.
2) A 32mb XDA with the above rom installed. The screen is intact, however will most of the time it will only display lines, you can get a screen sometimes but this is very rare. It must be possible to fix this, but its way beyond me. Again the motherboard has been tested in my other xda.
Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to make me a serious offer.
Thanks
Martin.

So how do the rest of us get it. Do we have to send our XDA's back to O2?

So did you uploaded the ROM yet? can you provide us a link? thanks
::adit

Don't forget the main question. Does this version incluudes the wmodem application????
Already wrote him a PM for getting this ROM. My Kitchen is waiting for it....
:wink:
Stefan

i WAS starting to think that this guy is telling the truth but no sign so far... damn, all that excitement for nothing
::adit

::adit

great !
it IS real :shock: thanks Martin
how on earth we only found out right now ?
any insiders ? is it gonna be official or it's an old tryout from O2 ?
It HAS wmodem but I connect through Irda (i have no serial on my notebook).
Can someone try and confirm that it works on Irda on Windows XP
Steps for using wmodem:
1. install ircomm2k from http://www.ircomm2k.de/english
2. add a new modem (manual selection Standard 32600 bps) on the new com installed by ircomm2k
3. add to AT commands AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn","",0,0
4. create a new DUN with the number at *99#
5. use if there is any username/password
Mine works fine but I cannot connect. It does communicate and ends on "verifying password" step.
Any help ?

thats great!! thanks very much martin,what about the auto config? does it show any asian provider? such as thailand AIS, DTAC or indonesian indosat, telkomsel, etc? thanks in advance...

Normally this should happen Automaticly, since the CallerID.CAB fiel is int eh startup directory....
But it's a nice trick to get it working...
[edit]
Soory, forgotten to mention, that this ROM is now available in the Kitchen. I also tried to get the Autoconfigration working. Cooking went fine, but i didn't have the possibility to test it.
So fell free and test this ROM with Autoconfiguration......
Check http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org

Stefan

great !!!!
i test it in this afternoon it have a bug in this rom .... may be A30.09 much more better thx for kindly
martinbickley
ps. i check in rom update O2. it have 3.17.03 only where is 4.01.12 come from ? ....

Whats wrong?
Hi, i just installed the ROM and now it works perfectly well, caller ID installs automatically at the startup when the welcome screen appear after the upgrade? XDAMAN, what was the problem? i am using DTAC provider (okay, theres no autoconfig so i had to set up everything manually) everything works perfectly well? i feel its a lot more faster than other ROMs i tried (Siemens ROM, T-Mobile, betas, etc) the best ROM i've ever used!thanks again martin

Unlock WM 2003 SE for Qtek 1010

Greets.
I have copied the ROM of a 1010 from a buddy that is protected with a key - presumably the key is cooked into the ROM using a unique device identifier. I've used Jeff's toolset to copy the ROM and create an SD image which i then loaded onto my Qtek.
The thing hangs on the boot screen now and won't go any further.
Any suggestions as to how to get around this?

This may be a problem of the Romspace used for this ROM. It uses also a "free region" that was used before for the permanent save.
The unique device identifier is also a problem. Until now i do not know how this key is build and where it have been integrated in the ROM......
As much as i know it's just udeless this ROM...

Stefan

Thanks for the reply
Its a pity!
Do you know where i can get an alternative WM2003SE ROM for the 1010?

Many thanks for the reply Stefan, Is WM2003 SE the one i need + do I need to select any other options before downloading the Rom ?
James

I would choose WM2003 final 4.01.12 ROM.....
Stefan

Hi Stefan, i have a few more questions just to make sure I know what I am doing.
1) Which Rom do i install first is it the Special ROM or WM2003 Final.
2) When it comes to the upgrade i take it i just connect the device using Activesync via my USB cable and then run the start.bat ?
Thanks for all the help.
James

First the Special-Edition ROM for unlocking, then the WM2003....
Yes, just connect your device via Activesync and run the Exe-File......
