Hi,
I have an O2 XDA 1 and I am looking to do a few upgrades but I’m not sure where to start, can someone please answer a few questions for me:
1) Which is the best firmware to use on my UK O2 XDA 1 (Windows Mobile 2003) + can someone please send me a link to download it ?

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......

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...

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?

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.

Additional question
Sorry if my question is stupid but I recently bought a T-Mobile XDA and it was sim locked. I unlocked it using the xda-developers special rom and now I'm looking for update to WM2003SE (if possible). I followed the link that Stefan posted and found a lot of rom updates there. Only I don't know if I use one of these will my phone lock again. Also, what does the "Opearator" column mean? My operator is not listed and I would like my new software to be universal - not dependent on any operator......
Upgrading ROM or Radio Version will not change the stat, that the device is unlocked.....
Operator Conig is the Config-Files from the operator. So if your operator is not listed, you could use a device without operator config.
The operator config is mostly used for the autoconfiguration of the device (GPRS, WAP, ...)
Stefan
Thank you
Thank you very much, Stefan. I will try it tonight. I think I can always switch it back to the xda-developers version if I don't like the 2003..... Can I? Also, what should I install in order to make my Wallaby ring using mp3 files? Thanks again.
