To xdadevelopers :

I think you should get the file on the incoming folder already.

Please test it for us.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Carlos:
Just in case anybody did this and doesn't know how to get back... Hopefully you have a good OS image such as a backup of your own, or an SE ROM in raw format, and a copy of your boot image. Write this OS image and a bootloader to a card, boot to the Wallaby bootloader, and it will give you the option to load this ROM.

BTW, I use PocketBackup to make a full backup before stuff like this, and it fully restores the unit quickly so I've lost nothing.

PPC 2003 online

I have placed the patched version of the PPC2003 ROM online. I ran into some problems while making it an EXE file: mainly 'Programme A' seems to get confused for some reason.

So I put the file online as a zipped .nb1 at:

http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA

-or-

http://www.xs4all.nl/~jsummers/XDA

I advise against installing PPC2003 at this time unless you want to just play with it: it still has its shortcomings (as you can see in other threads here), and the Special Edition ROM is much better still at this point for general use.

The file on my servers is OK. Please note that some of the files circulating at ftp sites now seem to have been ftp'ed in text-mode at least once, so make sure you got a file that's right before spending hours figuring out what's wrong.

Yes thanks a lot Jeff - works for me - must have got one of the duff ftp downloads before.

One nice thing in this version is a built in repeat for notifications.

Bit weird not having a disconnect option for the GPRS. I assume there must be an option for CSD connections but I've not created on of those yet.

EzWAP 2.5 MMS is still working for me - that was my only worry that it would not be compatible.

to get the upgrade working right on your USA Tmobile unit? I've already upgraded to the SE 1.1 ROM, but I want to know exactly what you did to get to the 2003 ROM. I want native IPsec and certificates--Bad!!!! Let me know. Thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] lgingell:
this is how i upgraded my USA T-mobile for those asking

-i just put the .nb1 file on an SD card using XDARit.exe (on this site)

-then put the card in the phone, soft reset with the power button pressed (bootloader mode).

-the phone prompted me to press 'action', which i did.

-about 10 mins later it said 'checksum ok'

-i did a hard reset (power off with stylus tip & back on after 30 secs)

-manually added a connection to T-Mobile VPN (internet3.voicestream.com)

my GPRS wouldn't work right away...it seems to be a little more flakey (which is wierd, since I didn't touch the radio side)....it worked after a while (showing a "G").

lots of cool little bits (like sms counter, reply, dismiss buttons on dialogs, grps is left up for most things, much better schedule for server async, smaller, clearer email font, better cleartype).

My findings so far with PocketPC 2003, ooops I meant Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone 2003 :P

+ System wide ClearType Rocks!

- couple weird things that I've noticed.

Ther's no way to switch bands from 1900 to 900.

I've posted a request for Bandswitch.exe here.

The power control panel no longer sees my extended, external battery.

There are some other odds and ends, tdagenda, Journal Bar, PocketMon Today plugins don't work with PPC2003.

I think the price is worth it though.

GPRS is seamless with voice now.

A call comes in, data drops and picks up right after you hang up.

The new PIE means MultiIE needs an update, but ftxBrowser still works.

Some apps when you install, give you a new prompt that the OS is not supported but install anyway.

Any one else with more :?:

- SPB Pocketplus doesn't work

Haven't played much around with it yet, though.

@vagelis

What do you like so much about ClearType? Personally I think it is really ugly, it looks like if I need a pair of glasses :D. It is one of the first things I switch off after a hard reset and/or ROM update.

Thanks a lot guys
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Kamil:
@Cyberb0b : It's actually not all that hard. First you should back-up your entire device. And not just the files and databases (contacts, calendar, etc) but I'd recommend also making a back-up for you current ROM/Boot loader. How to do that is described here.

Then you have to download the modified ROM image you can find here. The next step would be flashing your device with the new ROM using XDArit. How to do this is also described on the XDArit-page I referred to earlier.

That should be it :)

How to get it to work on Tmo USA XDA's

Step 1: Update tmo with ATT upgrade from the Siemens site. This will update the radio stack to allow always on GPRS[for real this time], as well update the OS.

2. Get XDArit from this site. If it can't write to the card, use the old version[I had to].

3. Get the Jeff Summers updated ppc2003 nb1 file[thanks Jeff!].

4. Use Xdarite to backup your existing ROM.

5. Use XDArite to write the ppc2003 nb1 file as the new WinCE load.

6. Put the card in the XDA, reset to the Wallaby bootloader mode, click on the Action button when prompted, and it will start flashing the ROM.

7. Wait 10min till finish, then hard reset.

8. Enjoy the setup! GPRS is now really always on.

Note: After the flash, if you get a Checksum error message, you will have to flash again, or revert to your old ROM you backed up. I had this problem occur a few times till I did it the way above. Good luck, and remember that using this ROM voids your warranty unless you can flash back to the old ROM.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Windmiller:
PDAZEALOT,

what route did you use to update your T-mobile to SE 1.1? Did you use the exe and just install or did you use XDrite and boot off of the SD card??

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Kamil:
Doesn't seem to do the trick. The Radio signal is still lower then with PPC2002. Maybe a future upgrade or the release version of PPC2003PE will cure this problem.

Kamil
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Aurora13:
While the signal on the display is less, I think the real signal is better or at least as good as with PPC2002.

But my experience with the phone application is that it is much more stable than with the previous PPC2002. So my total phone experience is that it is much more stable than with PPC2002.

Anyone else share this opinion?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] agua102:
My experience

the best update for my phone. I´m honest. SMS have the character counter. With Vodafone the title "send message" and "devivered message" works. I can send sms to four digits numbers (Vodafone numbers)

GPRS works.

Never hang up.

Only I thing be aware with the import of database of PPC only contacts and task because other databases hang up the PPC.

Works ppc 2002 software:

Pocket Informant 4.01.

TCalendar

Please forgive me for being thick here but, is it not possible for some really nice and kind person to do whatever it is they do to the .nb1 file thingy and then take if off the SD card and onto a website?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] lgingell:
Aurora13,

I concur, the phone/data side of things does appear more stable (certainly no less stable) for the most part. Sometimes I have to wait a little longer for it to see GPRS availability (almost as if the conditions that make it 'look' are different - like signal or time).

The way GRPS stays connected now, and Server ActiveSync works with the device "turned off" (as if it ever does!), is wonderful.

The device is way more useful for voice/data/email etc. with 2003. And IE is better.

I have a feeling that the mem usage (running inbox/async/ie) is quite a bit higher. Maybe this ROM still has some debug stuff turned on.

Hello All,

I have been following this forum for a couple of weeks now and tonight I finally took the plunge. I was feeling brave so upgraded my 32MB O2 xda from O2 3.17.03 ROM to the 2003 ROM.

Thank you so much to the developers here and especially to Jeff Summers for hosting the ROM and Howard Holton for the old version of xdarit, and all for the instructions and tips.

Here is what I did:

1. Upgraded activesync to 3.7.

2. Synchronized all my data.

3. Backed up my data using activesync (this was pretty useless as I couldn't restore it because I had upgraded to 2003)

4. Downloaded the 2003 ROM from http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA

5. Backed up my ROM and bootloader 5.14 to mmc card using xdarit (the old version http://givemebeer.com:8080/warez/XDA/xdarit.exe).

6. Wrote the new ROM and bootloader to my mmc card.

7. Inserted the card into xda, soft reset and followed on screen instructions.

8. Hard reset

9. Started installing my software:

Agenda Fusion version 4.93

Omega Journal Bar Version 1.3.0 - 6 (new version)

Omega battery pack 2003 v5.0.6 (new version)

SPB gprs monitor Version 2.0 build 224

SOTI Pocket Controller Version 4.00

MySportTraining V3.50 (said it was incompatible but seemed to work)

Resco Utility Package 4.20

All seems well!

Thank you again I love it, and see no reason to downgrade! I can't wait for the xda developers special ROM based on 2003.
