Upgrading to 2003 Windows Build from 2002 with xda rom

Greetings, I have been searching and can not find the answer well at least in non tech speek. Wiki FAQ will not open for me for some reason.
I have just bought a SX56 for my daughter it was locked on AT&T, we are not on AT&T so I bouhgt a un-lock on eBay. THe unlock went really easy but to get it to work I had to load a ROM that pointed here. Once I unlocked it I noticed it had Windows 2002 in it. I wanted to upgrade it to 2003. I have a disc that I also got from eBay for my 2 T-Moble phones I upgraded. On the CD it has an upgrade for the AT&T SX56. When I tried to do the upgrade it said it did not reconize a ROM image. So here I am.
1) How do I upload Windows Mobile 2003?
2) I see on this forum there is Win 2005 should I do this rather then 2003?
3) IF 2005 how?
My two trusty T-Mobile phone (wife and I have them)
1) I noticed the "new" phone has better reception then either of my other phones is it a better radio software build? If so how do I get it on my other phones?
2) Can I upgrade the T-Mobile Phones to Windows 2005 and if so why is it better?
3) If so how?
THANKS!

First of all, your are a little bit a silly boy buying an unlock out of ebay, because it's all for free here from this forum. But this is something completely different.... ;-)
First of all, there is no WM2005 for the Wallaby-Device you have. So you can not upgrade to it.
When you atke a look at the phone, that has a better receipient, which Radio version is installed? You can get most radio versions on our ftp-server
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wallaby/
But updating Radio could end your device in a paperweight.......
Also on the ftp, there are some "clean" ROM Images you can use for upgrading to WM2003. Or you can cook your own ROM at http://www.romkitchen.de
You can use the exe file and therefore you must only have a activesync connection between the PC and your device.
I would suggest you take the 4.01.12 ROm-Image....
Stefan

Oaky so I paid $3.00 to find you. Now I will donate 2x that because your help okay? <G>
So I now understand the ROM has 2003 in it THANKS!
Merry Christmas!

Built a rom made a donation and can't get the rom to load.
I tride to put the ROM in My Documents on the phone via Active Sync latest build. I get an error message that there not enough memory.
There is nothing on that phone yet.
Am I just stupid or what? LOL

You do neither have to pay for "my service" here, nor for my kitchen.....
When you have downloaded the ROM in exe-format, just run the exe file on your PC where your Wallaby has connected via activesync.
You do not hat to transfer the ROM to the device via activesysnc.....
Stefan

Thanks I made a small donation because of the effort you put in here not any other reason.
I will run the Rom NOW. fingers crossed.

Same error message, "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Cannot open C:\Documents and Settings\namedeleted \Desktop\rom.exe"

Please check the file size. Must about 16 MB.....
In the moment i have a little bit problems with my romkitchen. Transfer will disrupted after 90 seconds..... :-(
If you have a slow Internet connection (< 1.5 Mbit) this could cause the problem.
Stefan

I will kook another

No soup From the Kitchen
Just cooked a fresh one und, "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Cannot open C:\Documents and Settings\XXX\Desktop\rom.exe"
I am now trying the SLOW version. Some times I hear slow cooking is better.
Wow that is going to take a LONG time to download. LOL!
Download perfect and it is installing this time woooooo whooooooo
By the way Stefan are you a,
Multiplex
Graupner
Robbe
Or
Jamara
kind of pilot?

Glad to here it's working.... ;-)
By the way. I'm a one and only Multiplex (Profi mc 4000) pilot.....
No better choice availabalbe on the market 8)
Stefan

Incidentally, I thought I'd chime in as I have a Qtek 1020 Wallaby device with a ROM version of 4.02.04 dated 24/8/05 - I'm guessing that must be the newest one, would I be correct?
Regards,
Neil.

I knew I liked you!
I was the Multiplex importer to the USA for 9 years before Hitec bought out Herr Kussbmaul. Profi 4000 all the way, still the best.
Yes I am the crazy guy who had www.multiplexrc.com
I will be in Nurenburg for Toy Fair in Feb.
THANKS for all your help!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

A newbie needs your help

Hello,
I am a newbie with Rom-Updates.
I have a SPV M3100 with Orange-Branding. It is Windows Mobile 5 installed.
I want this:
- I don´t want to have a branding. A original HTC will be fine
- I want Windows Mobile Professional 6 on the device
How can I make this. It will be fine when you can help me.

Helloand welcome,
How much reading have you done on this forum so far? The wiki is a very good place to start.
It's really important that you read up as much as possible else you might make a serious mistake and damage your phone.
Feel free to come back with any questions after you have dne your homework.
All the best.

Download SoftSPL and copy it to your Hermes
Download the WM6 ROM in the WIKI for HTC (Shipped WM6 ROM link)
Connect your device via ActiveSync (hopefully you have a WindowsXP PC???)
Run the SoftSPL on your Hermes - your phone will go in BOOTLOADER MODE
Run the HTC WM6 ROM UPGRADE UTILITY on your desktop
Wait and PRAY ...
The job should be done in 10 to 25 min
You also could CID / SIM unlock your device first with HardSPL (Hermes_Unlocker_3a) but that would be permanently. SoftSPL works quite well and it is only temporarely!
Please, if you have no clou about what all that flashing and bootloader crap means: FOLLOW THE ADVICE IN POST 2 - READ THE WIKI !!!
BTW: even the HTC ROM has branding - its own HTC logos and they do not really look cool either! Next to HTC changes phone dialer skin and connection manager skin to an ugly green color - I am not sure if you would like that more than the network provider branding!
If you're new to all this flashing and tweaking I would recommend that you stick with your current network providers ROM and only upgrade to version 6! It might be quite difficult for newbies to get all their crap running again, such as MMS, WAP, GPRS and so on ... !

xda o2 orbit upgrade

can someone provide me detailed information about xda o2 orbit rom upgradation from wm5 to wm6
thanks

What do you want to know about it?
You fill the details in on the website, download the rom and run it. It will wipe all the data on your phone as well
Kimbie

I think I'm either in the same boat as Chappad or at least on the sake river; I'd like to upgrade from WM5 to WM6 as I'd also like to flash Touch Flo 3.0. I've been banging around the WM site for a while now and can't locate the file to download WM6! Where is it or am I just not seeing what may obviously there?
The other thing I am really hoping for is for someone to bless the newbies with, oh, maybe a tutorial on how to flash a ROM like WM6 onto a device like, I don't know, like a Artemis/Orbit and then to install Touch Flo 3.0 on it.
That would be sweeeet.
Seriously.

Try this site for an "official" upgrade to WM6
http://www.my-xda.com/software_updates.jsp
or you can do a search on this website for other "cooked" ROM's

OK tell ya what, pick a ROM that u want to put on your Orbit n I'll tell ya what to do. How's that sound?

This. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371182
If this works out and, with your help and guidance it's stable; I will Paypal you a "Thank you". You have my word.
Why not do a "How to..." thread on the Artemis/Orbit forums here?!
Thanks,
Steve
www.clematisimages.com

So, Meschle...or any of the other Gurus around here; How about a "How to..." setting up a Artemis/Orbit to run WM6 and Meschle's Touch Flo? I just wish I had the know-how to do it myself!
Steve

Ok ya ready for it steve.... this is gonna blow your mind! (nah only messing, its so feckin easy ya'll shoot yerself).
1 - download the .zip file of your choice.
2 - extract the .zip file to a folder somewhere
3 - connect your Orbit to your PC and make sure it Activesyncs OK
4 - open up the folder you just extracted, run "STEP 1 - activesync then uspl cid unlocking.bat" - this will unlock the SPL and CID on our Orbit so you can flash a new ROM to it.
5 - Once thats done OK and your Orbit has reset, make sure to check that your SPL is now 1.11 (do this by resetting the Orbit and on the very first screen, in top left corner in red font it will display a few things, on being SPL)
6 - now reconnect your Orbit to the PC and activesync again
7 - and this time open the extracted folder and run "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat" - this will bring up a screen asking to make sure battery is above 50% and things like that. Just follow the prompts and update the new ROM. Your Orbit screen will probably go white with a progress bar, thats fine.
8 - Once this is showing finished Ok, you should ow have a fancy new ROM.
BEAR IN MIND THIS WILL WIPE ALL OF YOUR PHONE DATA, MUCH LIKE FORMATTING A PC HARD DISK WITH A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM. SO MAKE SURE TO BACK-UP

Thanks for the attention

I dont think its possible to "upgrade" your Touch via Bluetooth. Because there is no Upgradefile (or i dont know about) for WinMob 6.5 you need to put a new ROM on your Device.
If you get your Connector running here ist all you need:

HTC HD Mini - I Love It

Hello,
Sry for the titel, but my HTC HD Mini EVER HANGS
There isnt any moment without any crashed and lags !
I restart the Phone 5-10 times the day just because it doesnt reagize to anything !
I just want to take my Phone and take a Baseballstick and......
Its a Problem with the Software I think because Phone is like new and there wasnt any problem with water oder anything ealse ! It didnt fall down anytime !
PLS HELP ME !

Please do not curse... I have modified the title of your thread to remove the cursing.

@egzthunder1 -HTC HD Mini isn't bad either..
@oktay1king- If I were you i'll go to store or person i bought it,and will ask for a replacement device,not to whine on forums...or to use baseball bats )

@egzthunder1 TY a lot
@tzacapaca But the Problem is I live in Germany and my Father in Miami and he bought that Mobile, and i cant live without my mobile about 1 month (or longer) !
I forgot to say, I have WM 6.2 !
Someone have any Reason ?

there is not any WM 6.2
btw Mini is running WM 6.5.3
p.s. when you ask for help be DETAILED,or no one will try to help you..this is just an advice
example: just like when you go to dr..symptoms and stuff
otherwise we cant guess what is wrong with your phone..

Ok hm what do you need to know,....
I have WM 6.5 (Sry 6.2 was wrong) and SPL 1.42.0000.
Mobile is just about 6 Months old but dont have any(!) defects(from outside), i never tried to change to hack the mobile or anything !
Yes thats all what do you need to know ?

your father bought it for you, isn't it? Then it cannot be a HD Mini as they are not officially sold in the USA. However it can be bought on eBay or whatever...
There isn't such a thing as WM6.2, the Mini comes with WM6.5.3 (build 23103). Just check your WM build number. (Manila Settings tab -> Info about phone -> Software info)
If it isn't 23103, flash a stock ROM.and see if its better.
Good luck!

My Father lived in many countries he travels for work and I DONT KNOW in what country he bought it.
@_Madmatt TY now i can tell you more about my mobile.
...OS is WM 5.2.23103(23103 5.3.3),
