Okay,

Got the files uploaded to the xda-developers.com ftp server, the files are in RAR format so you will need to use WinRAR to decompress them (zip files seem to be getting corrupt when I upload them).

Once you have unrared the files, locate the HimaUpgradeUt.exe and double-click to run the update.

Now if your lucky the setup process will complete on your XDAII and it will reboot (please check all the apps as the most common problem seems to be centred around the fact that the ExtendedROM apps are not installed properly or end up corrupting WM2003SE).

If like me, nothing happens, then simply connect your upgraded XDAII to your PC and when ActiveSync starts choose GUEST mode and then browse the XDAII My Documents folder. Copy the files CAB contained in the ExtendedROM.rar archive to the XDAII My Documents folder and then using Pocket File Explorer browse to the My Documents folder on your XDAII device and simply tap each CAB file to install the relevant app.

Install each one and wait until the setup has finished before starting the next install... When finished do not operate your WM2003SE (very important!) - do a soft reset and you should find your XDAII is now fully operational as a WM2003SE device with all the O2 stuff you need (removed the O2 Active crap but left all the other stuff in there). The IntelliDialler is also skinned properly to match the O2 theme and I have used the O2 boot splash screens as they look much better.

Also note, you will find the ExtendedROM is unlocked, once you have completed the upgrade tap Start > Programs and then click on 'Hide ExtendedROM', do a soft reset and then go to Programs and tap 'Lock ExtendedROM' to lock it (this will prevent the ExtendedROM from showing up on the OS).

Good Luck :wink:

Ive been following this thread with interest, as I have upgraded to 2.02, and one thing I like from the new ExtROM is the MMS client within Outlook. Does your ExtROM still have this or is it a separate app like before?

coercri,

I am not aware of the MMS feature in Outlook (I am assuming you mean Pocket Outlook).

Could you explain what this feature is and how it works? I checked the Programs listed on my XDAII with image I am using and there are two apps available, MMS and Video MMS which I know were present when I had the original 1.72.00WWE UK rom.

Hi, I haven't tried to upgrade to WM2003SE, but I am going to..

But before, I need to know :

- If I'm not mistaken, the WM2003SE phone dialler already use the T9-like method which make address book searching easy. Can we also have the T9-like phone dialer if we upgrade the himalaya with WM2003SE ?

- Is there any common problems happen after upgrading the himalaya with WM2003 SE ? Is it stable ?

As I upgraded my last Wallaby with WM2003 (original OS is PPC2002), but the common problem happened is : SD Card erasure, phone resetting by itself...

- What version of WM2003SE ROM that work best for Asian (I'm in Indonesia).

THanks.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] finalzero:
dukunmagic,

The WM2003SE image I am using is intended for the UK O2 users however it can easily be used with any other version of the Himalaya.

You are probably better off going for Sin's version as its more suitable for asian users - Just view the Himalaya Upgrading etc forum and you should see Sin's post allowing you to download his version.

Personally I have not experienced any issues, infact I think I have cooked one of the most stable roms to date for my XDAII and I will not be going back to 1.72.00WWE anytime soon.

There were two notable bugs in all version which are now working, WiFi works just fine (I used the WLan Socket app and drivers - taken from xda-developers.com forum and available in my ExtendedROM.rar archive).

Secondly many users complained about battery charge issues however I have had no such problems. I am using SBP Plus to show me a battery charge indicator and so far everything is as normal, battery discharges correctly and recharges correctly.

The only thing I have not fully tested is bluetooth however I was able to pair up with my 3G phone my headset so no issues there. Allot of users have reported low volume with the headset, simplest solution is to make a call to someone (or voicemail) and then tap the speaker icon at the top, this will show a thrid volume option which is for the actual calls and by default is set very low.... incidently there are three volumes on in WM2003/WM2003SE, one for the device, one for the phone and then one for the actual calls. If you are using different devices you will need to adjust the volume on each of these as I found WM2003SE keeps seperate profiles for each device and as such they are set very low.

A big thankyou to all those who have worked so hard for the benefit of the xda2 community. DCS and Mysteryman got things rolling and then so many others have contributed that I have completely lost track.. but thanks to all.

I have stuggled to keep pace with all the developments but as a UK o2 xda2 user I think that Finalzero's upgrade is the one for me so a big big thankyou to Finalzero :D

I have downloaded the necessary and will probably try the upgrade next weekend if I can summon up the nerve.

Minor problems, nice features.

A day into using WM2003SE and I've noticed some oddities.

I notice that the today screen behaves erratically; some today-screen items (such as BT headset, calendar, etc.) take a long time to repaint, if they do so at all. It seems to get stuck every once in a while on the today screen. Does any one else experience this?

Some applications don't work nicely in rotated screen mode - though to be fair, these are the ones it warns about.

For some reason, I can't get the little beep you get when you tap the start menu to go away.

Also, the extended rom didn't autoinstall for me. perhaps something to do with the tpenable/disable issue (it did make me calibrate the touchscreen).

The good news:

- screen can be rotated

- kse truefax application for sending and receiving faxes

- new radio stack

- no msn messenger upgrade needed (though agilemessenger is pretty cool an alternative)

- T9 dialling!

many small features

- calendar with 'go to today' shortcut

- option to have a triangle icon next to the new menu display document types (notes, contact, etc.) in all applications

- cleartype tuner lets you finetune cleartype (cleartype works without replacing files)

- wm2003se specific programs compatible. Like the T9 keyboard intellipad (though that's not dutch :( )

That's really it. I'm most thrilled about the new radio stack, T9 and the rotating screen. I've been experiencing moments that my phone didn't work (in 1.72/1.16 radio stack) even though it showed coverage, so I'm hoping this will resolve it.

Still have to try out bluetooth, but it's looking good..

Apart from the annoying Today screen stuff, it's good.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] :
Wicked!

Looks like people are having success at last. I think we are getting there now with and I am sure it won't be long before everyone will have their own flavour of WM2003SE.

I think this proves a point that we as the end users should have more control over the software our providers give us as at the end of the day its a Pocket PC and as such should have the degree freedom offered to other devices.

Thanks Phil, I hope you have success as I did, it was a complete pain and I was initially very dissappointed that I had to revert back to WM2003 which to be honest is really showing its age (after all it is WinCE under the hood) where as WM2003SE has a complete redesign that is a welcome release.

I know eventually we will get a hold of the official WM2003SE roms from the various providers but I think with all the activity on this forum its obvious that people like tweaking their versions to add the personal touch, I know I did and I am hopeful that eventually I will have a concrete version of WM2003SE (mind you the one I am using now is about 99% there).

I would recommend SBP Plus 2.1 (I think thats what its called) and Pocket Informant 5.5 as two invaluable add-ons for your WM2003SE image. They don't cost much and can be downloaded from Handango and PocketGear. SBP Plus adds allot of power features to both WM2003 and WM2003SE, infact I think its a must have on WM2003SE as it allows you to close apps with a single tap of the (X) button rather than minimizing it (you can still minimize apps just by hold down on the X button). Also you get lots of Today indicators like battery, control over the birghtness and contrast and you get lots of Today screen themes, the best one for me is the ability to maximize Pocket IE to full screen much like you can do on a Windows XP PC.

Pocket Informant replaces the inbuilt PIM features with more powerful apps, the Calendar is by far the best I have used and the Contacts app is 50 times better than the crap that MS supply with the Pocket PC apps (you would think that they would have upgraded the WM2003SE versions) - you can create a contact, define categories for that contact, keep journals of all communication with that contact and importantly store all communication detials so with a few taps you can email, phone, fax or browse the contacts site... sorry for the plug but I have tried allot of PIM apps for my XDAII and this is well worth the investment.

Bluetooth seems to be working for me however I after installing SBP Plus I removed the Profile item from the Today screen as WM2003SE has the BT icon in the taskbar now. I am currently trying to find a suitable BT app similar to the WLAN Socket app which should at least offer a better solution to configuring (and hopefully fixing) the BT stuff.

Re: Genuine English WM2003 SE upgrade for Himalaya uploaded

Copy the HimaGetDeviceData.exe to your himalaya. Execute it. Get DeviceData from /Windows and open it in notepad. Look for your operator code (CDL, Qtek, O2, etc.) and put it where <operator> is, in the instructions. (No <angled brackets>)

Not needed if you bought your XDA from O2.

Make sure you know what you're doing. Flashing is dangerous. Enjoy the ride.

Autorun on Cold Reset - could it be?

Could the reason for the extended rom not autofirering - be, that there seems to be missing an

AutoRun.exe

fil from the extended ROM..

I guess the OS just (after init) just fires AutoRun.exe - then - the autorun reads the config.txt file and does what that says...

Just a Guess...

Wondering if my TomTom3 will still fit into the extended ROM...

I'll give it a shot some day soon...

Except landscape view and Media player 10 whats the other big changes?

My XDA2 dies randomly and falls in to a coma like state, O2 eventually told me some devices have this issue, but if i send it back and it doesnt crash with them then there is nothing they will do about it....So...does this release make it more stable?

Some peeps have mentioned having issues, with bluetooth and what not is that just user errors or a system thing?

err cant think of anything else but if there is any other serious issues could you post them please.

You need to change your new OS stack to the operator name (e.g. CDL, O2, Tmobile..).

You could do this thru ROM edit tool. I have changed the OS stack I got to CDL (2.02.t1 WWE).

We don't actually get Windows Media Player 10 at the moment. It would be very good if we could get our hands on a rom image of the most recent SE release and play with the executable / dll's . Maybe someone could upload a dump of their registry as well.

Just out of interest , and im not a prude about it or anything like that as it seems rediculous that SE wasn't officialy released for our devices when their hardly a year old, but isn't distributing SE like this illegal?

BTW I've noticed from upgrading that my XDA II is generaly quicker, sleeker and sexier, the only thing I've found is that installing pocket plus crashed my device, but then I don't need that anyway.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dazza8082:
Well thats me, all SE'ed up and working very well, not had any issues other that it not autoinstalling the Ext-Rom but i figure thats not such a bad thing, since you can choose what you want to use....it would be cool for some program which could explain what each feature is and auto install them AFTER you select what you want, kind of a compromise between not having any control to having to much.

Firstly if you upgrade and it goes wrong dont blame anyone but your self......but .....anyhow, any of you peeps swaying over doing it or not, i say jump on the band wagon it looks cool and is much faster, Media player 10 is a bit of a shame but im sure some kind person out there will help one day, ive not had any probs and i do like that XDA picture..

The files, you are writing of, are for saving files on flash ram to be saved in case of battery loss.

If you don't have them in the ExtendendRom, you have used for the upgrade, then take them out of the old ExtRom, you used before the update.

I have updated the following way:

I made the update and after completing I opened the (new) ExtRom. Then I copied it to my PC. There I compared it with my old ExtRom (was Version 1.72). The same named files I have left in the new ExtRom and deleted out the old one. Therefore I think I have now the new versions of this same files. And the oher files I have transferred from my old into my new ExtRom. Then I corrected the config.sys in the new ExtRom and transferred this self-made ExtRom to my XDA II. Then another hardreset and everything was o.k.!

With this method you also get the special files of your own provider (at example O2 Germany) into the new ExtRom.

If you don't need the flashman-files you let them in the ExtRom but after installation take them out of the Windows Start Up.

Hi mate,

I had similar issues to you, I upgraded to 1.72.00WWE from O2's website after complaining the XDAII kept freezing. I had even more problems with 1.72.00WWE, the previous were gone but some serious ones came up like randomly rebooting if I had the WiFi running and I hit start, and on most occasions doing a hard reset and wiping everything off my XDAII :cry:

Since I upgraded to WM2003SE I have not had any problems period. I was very weary of the various WM2003SE upgrades on this forum as I had bad experience with all of them, each upgrade had its quirks but they were serious enough that I had to downgrade and then I finally cooked my own rom after testing over and over until I found the right apps that worked and now (*touch wood*) everything is rock solid.

Personally I have noticed a big improvement in the operation of the XDAII, its much smoother and feels allot more stable compared to WM2003 which would have a heart attack as soon as you did too many things on it and I don't know about others but I swear the battery life has improved over 50%!

I gave my XDAII a full charge and ran it to the ground for a week now and still has a 1/4 power left... seriously on WM2003 if I used the XDAII allot during the day and plugged in my WiFi card it would drain the battery in a matter of hours, now I can use WiFi all day and only a 1/4 of the battery life at best is drained :lol:
