Hi Ali,

Does this upgrade have the sim tool kit?

Thanks in advance :?:

[AsShOleX]

[mikhail]

Thanks a lot!

Hello again

well, what i have notice there are more then one version of WM2003

one of them which i downloaded from http://members.lycos.co.uk/xdarom/ where i couldn't downgrade using the nornal method and i was force to use SD Card to go back to my previous ROM but the other version which i downloaded from this FTP Server 195.64.88.44 xda/xda works pretty good and i was able to downgrade to XDA-Developers Special ROM version 1.2 with no problems and without using SD Card.

thanks again for sharing

Is it possibile to upgrade to wm2003 thru USB cradle ? My current version for Asian XDA is:
ROM version: 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date: 10/11/02
Radio: 4.17
Protocol: 32S54
Has anyone tried to upgrade an asian XDA (EN version) ? Any problems ?
Thanks,

[Gil]

I upgraded my XDA last night via my USB cradle. I had NO problems at all. Took a little longer than normal :?: But other than that it was fine.

Thanks,

I had the same set upwith yours previously. I upgraded to SER 1.2 and WM 2003 after that. I also upgrade my radio stack to 4.21 from O2 UK. But now, I am back with SER 1.2 and Radio stack 4.21. I wish Icould go back to my old Radio Stack 4.17.

With 4.21 Ilost the "G" and signal strength for GPRS.
I hope my experience helps.

[brix3]

Beeheij, why didn't you keep the 4.17 radio version with WM2003 ? Was it not running properly ?
I think it's always dangerous upgrading the radio module with newer version dedicated to other regions (UK)
Thanks,

[beeheij]

brix3,

I want to back to 4.17, but I cannot. Somehow during the process of rolling back I was kicked out.

As for the WM2003, the problem was in the SMS mode. When I picked a phone number, the "+"sign in my contact was not transferred tothe address in the SMS. So each time I wanted to send SMS, I had to correct the phone number.
My Battery Pack was not working. It hung my XDA.

Hope this helps

Has anyone in the US used or done this upgrade? Since it also upgrades the Radio Stack I'm just wondering. If GPRS is getting dropped as stated in other posts it is more that the network drops you or you lose data connection between cells, or the network has a load balance that give placement to voice users over data when bandwidth is needed. Not so much that your radio stack does it.

On the other hand just incase anyone wants to prove me wrong :wink: who in the US has upgraded their radio stack to O2 4.21 and experienced a better performance than AT&T's radio stack (speed stability as staed on their website) :D :?: This means you probably already had to manually switch the default band 8) first, right? :x

Let me know I love to be wrong :shock: ......I'm only that much smarter than I was yesterday :roll: :lol:

I'm a little confused. I upgraded to XDA v1.2 and my Device Informations are:

ROM Version: 3.17.03
ROM Date: 05/15/03
Radio Version: 6.18.00
Protocal Version: 324e4

How is it that my radio version is so much higher?

as far as i know XDA v1.2 will not touch your Radio, it will just replace your old CE ROM with the new one which has lots of cool stuff.

Hi,

I've just run the EXE upgrade from http://www.ali.nildram.co.uk/xda/ and it worked great. I don't quite understand about the RADIO UPGRADE (ie. 4.20.00 and 4.21.00). Are theses meant to be separate upgrades? Do I need to run them separately?

I am in Canada, with AT&T. Will I be able to run the radio upgrades without causing any problem? Thanks!

Mikie

Do you know if this will work on a UK o2 model. I persume that the only difference between the different providers devices is the outer casing?

Cheers,

Luke

[Rudegar]

if you install an American radiostack i think your device will try to
use 900/1900 GSM insted of 900/1800 this could cause your phone to stop working all that well

[xda-rocks]

I installed the OS via SD card and it works fine with Radio version 4.21.00 on O2 XDA

How would i do that? Do you mean that you installed the os to your SD care. Or you ran the rom upgrade .exe from your SD card. If it was the later could i ask what the benefit are or the reason for installing from SD?

Does ali's upgrade also back up the old rom. i'm kinda of worried that if the upgrade fails i have wrecked my xda. If not do you know how i can back up?

Sorry bout all the questions, i have searched but could not find anything device specfic.

I currently have:

ROM VER:3.17.03 ENG
RADIO VER: 4.21.00
PROTO VER:32S54

Cheerz,
Luke

*Ok Update

Found out abit more now. I have wallaby 5.14 so i backed up CE OS to SD. Now when i reset the XDA with SD card in the unit and start the bootloader it Prompts for SD download Card type:CE OS

I have ali's PROGRAMME A V1.09 exe file. If i go ahead and upgrade the rom and its does not work can i restore my old rom using the above "SD download Card type:CE OS" option.

Does Ali's exe upgrade or affect the bootloader in anyway. Do i have to change any links that point towards the active partition, or does the upgrade look after that? In other words if i was to restore the old rom from the bootloader would it also reconifgure the bootloader to tell it where to boot to i.e the restored rom?

Sorry to keep asking so much, its just theres now way i can afford to buy a new XDA!??!!

Many Thanks,
Luke
