Hi everyone,

before I start can I just explain that I am a complete newbie to all this.. I've read some of threads and I don't understand most of the technical terminology used..

Ok.. my question..

I've bought an old XDA 1 with Pocket PC 2002..

How easy is it to go about upgrading to Pocket PC 2003, and where can I get all the files?


I bet your all laughing at how simple this is to you.. but please please help.. lol
Thanks for everyones help..

dvmedia.

It's somewhat easy, but compatibility issues may arise... I have the sx56 (made for Tmobile) and I have tried numerous times to upgrade to 2003, but failed. I recommend if you really want to do this, go to google and search for a 2003 upgrade. This is simply like a setup program that installs the upgrade for you automatically.

A couple of questions.

1. Do you have your pda talking to your computer (as in the cradle or usb cable)?

2. What company is your phone made for?

3. Do you have any information that you DON'T want to lose on the pda? If you get yourself in trouble, I probably can help you bail out, but just to be sure...

Hi, thanks a lot for your help,
the answers to your questions:

1) Yes, it has a cradle..

2) I'm not quite sure what you mean, but If you mean the mobile phone operator, it's O2.

3) Nothing on it yet, just a clean copy of PPC2002 - so nothing to lose?

I had a search in Google but couldn't find very much. Am I looking in the wrong place? I searched for things like "XDA ppc2003 upgrade".

I've had a look in this thread: http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/s...threadid=55344

and I'll try that in a moment..

Thanks again

Okay, cool, but here's the link to download the ppc2003 setup file...

http://www.wireheadtechnologies.com/...003_update.exe

just download that, make sure your pda is plugged into the cradle and make sure activesync is running on your computer. If it is, just open up that download and then it'll tell you step by step on how to upgrade it, if it all runs smoothly, then there you go, you got the update. If your phone freezes up or doesn't want to start up, let me know, I'll walk you through the "SD-flashing" method.

good luck!

Hi,

I have to go away to Wales until Sunday evening, so I'll do all of this on Monday morning as I want to do it when I have lots of free time in case something goes Pear shaped. - So I'll get back to you then,

Thanks for your help! this is a great forum by the way

(Oh, and is that update an O2 branded version with the O2 start up screen, O2 background, etc.. as I want all that sort of thing)

HELP HELP HELP

I tried to run the file you gave me the link too, but It didn't work..

So i made my own PPC2003se with the RomJitchen thing..

but it said fatal error.. and now when I turn it on, all I have is "WALLABY Bootloader V5.22 - GSM OK"

Someone help please

Phew, I've managed to re-install PPC2002... Disaster Averted..

I've made a PPC2003 SD Card, but it wont "load it" - it just seems to ignore it.

I did a "hard" (?) reset by putting the stylus into the small hole, because when I press the power button all it seems to do is switch the back-light off.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks,

EDIT: I've now got everytihng sorted - yay!!!

okay, you have to press and hold that reset button on the top left of the phone, and then while holding that, press that stylus hole and then it'll boot into the wallaby loader...then it will read the card...

unless, of course, you put it on your card wrong, in that case you'll need xdatools...
