Hello.

As a new xda user I have been reading up on flashing my machine to the Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC Phone edition. I am trying to find out if every rom will work on my phone.

I have an 02XDA
Bootloader 5.17
Rom Version 3.14.17 ENG
Rom Date 10/11/02
Radio version 4.17
Protocol Version 32s54

I was looking forward to updating it to the new version but o2 Asia (I assume my xda is the asian model) says that an upgrade is unlikely.

Can I update it with one of your roms or possibly the WM2003?

Thanks.

Yup, you can upgrade it, and anyone should.

If you asked me two days ago you would get a negative answer. But last night for the second time I upgraded my XDA again to WM2003, and very very happy with it. Specially the telephone and SMS facilities.

When I upgraded first time last week, I was not happy at all, my application programs somehow hang the XDA, most probably Battery Pack older version. Now I am using Spb Pocket Plus instead.

If you want to upgrade to WM2003, just make sure that all your application program can run in it. You cannot trust the signal bar, so I use an excelent program called IP Dashboard test it.

My old set-up was exactly like yours, and now:

ROM version: 4.00.01 ENG
ROM date: 05/16/03
Radio version: 4.21.00
Protocol version: 32S54

Ok then.

To make mine look official, where can i get a proper copy of WM2003? I know its not officially endorsed or anything but I want it to at least look the part.

I'm one of these people who love having the newest look to their mobile and as its new I havn't put any extra programs on it yet. (Apary from the sms fix)

and how would I go about getting it and resoring it if the update failed. ?

You may not be able to get an 'official' copy of WM2003, but there are plenty of developer-releases floating around :wink:

Search the forums and read as much as you can and you will have your XDA upgraded in no time.

If I'm not happy with WM2003 can anyone tell me if it is possible to downgrade with the official Programme a/b that can be downloaded from the 02 website.

I downloaded it just in case I had any problems a while ago. Touch wood *knock Knock* It hasn't been a problem for me.

you can down-grade. the best way of doing it is to down-grade to XDA-developers v1.2 then to O2 3.xx
