First off, after realising that i needed to unlock my SX56 and ATT/Cingular/Siemens weren't going to help, I ran across the forum. Had a new ROM cooked and running in almost no time at all! Thanks to everyone!

Here's my question: I'm running a slighly modified "A.30.09 ENG Siemens" ROM on a Siemens SX56 (Wallaby). I downloaded PhonExt 1.2 and copied the file to my XDA, but I can't get it to install. I've searched a lot, and read a lot of posts, but I guess Im missing something. I just get a "SetupPhoneExt_PPC2002 is not a valid Pocket PC Application" error message. (I tried running it on my desktop as well, just to make sure I didn't need to that and copy it over...")

Any help would be appreciated.

Try this...

Make sure the .exe file or a shortcut to the .exe file is in your Startup folder on your SX56: My Device\Windows\StartUp\PhoneExt.exe.

After placing this file in your StartUp folder, soft reset, the program will load.

You should see an icon in your system tray when the program is active.

I can't get phonext.exe. The file i downloaded from the phonext website is the SetupPhoneExt_PPC2002.exe, which i can't run. Do I need anything other than just the "phonext.exe" file itself? Can I just copy the phonext.exe file from someone, or do I need to run the setup?

I'm running wm2003 -- does that make a difference?

You will need to run that setup file from your desktop. I have a copy of SetupPhoneExt_PPC2002.exe that I just ran from my desktop with no problems at all. It is strange that you cannot run the setup file from your desktop. Are you getting an error message or will the file just not run?

I am running Windows 2000 on my desktop. My SX56 is running WM2003 with A.30.09 ENG ROM, and Activesync 3.8.

I am not sure just copying the PhonExt.exe file from my SX56 and emailing to you would work, but I can if you would like.

I don't know what was different when I ran it this time, but whatever it was seemed to have worked.

Thanks llwhipll!
