Hope this helps, this is a simple process, these instructions appear long and difficult because i've added quite a bit of detail.
Prepare Everything
1 - Download and install XDATolls http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAtools
2 - Connect your PocketPC and make sure that ActiveSync is running
3 - Delete all files on your SD Card (in your pocketPC)
Extract the ROM files & get ready for the upgrade
4 - Run the .exe file you download from Siemens, this will extract the files into C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility. Don't proceed with the install, just exit it after the extract is completed.
5 - Confirm the existance of the file C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english\NK.nbf
Using XDAtools (OS Image tool) transfer the ROM onto your SD card via your PocketPC and cradle (this is a new feature)
6 - Run the XDA OS Image tool (part of XDA Tools)
7 - As your source select the file C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english\NK.nbf (directory is selected by clicking the square button with dots)
8 - As your destination select from the drop down box SD Card
9 - Click copy to transfer the file, if it fails check that ActiveSync is running & try again
Re-flash Image using Wallaby Bootloader method
** THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON YOUR POCKETPC, you have been warned, make sure you've got a backup of everything you need.
10 - Plug your PocketPC into AC power & Make sure that your SD card is in the slot on your pocketpc
11 - Using the stylus top, hold down the left hand soft-reset, then press the power button.
12 - The bootloader should find the new ROM image on the SD card, press the action button to start the load (action button been the central click of the direction button)
13 - The load process will take about 5 minutes or so
14 - Once completed, use the stylus top and press the battery disable button, leave for 5 seconds then press it again to enable the unit.
Enjoy the new ROM, note that the first bit of any audio is played at a reduced volume, this doesn't help short ring tones nor fonix voicedial. Other than that the ROM seems quick and highly stable.
