Since it didn't look like Motorola was going to get around to it themselves, an anonymous person in Germany has decided to take matters into their own hands and release an update for Motorola's MPx200 Smartphone so it'll run on the newer Windows Mobile 2003 version of the software rather than the older (and clunkier) Windows Mobile 2002 software that it comes with. The update is totally guerrilla-style — this isn't an official update from either Motorola or any of the carriers — so don't try installing this unless you're prepared to completely mess up your phone and void the warranty.
please read this thread:
http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=110965
... to see that this upgrade is not that bad as you think. But of course you do the upgrade at your own risk!
Unfortunately due to extremely big web traffic (several tens of GBs daily)
- msmobiles.com no longer is able to host these ROM upgrades to Smartphone2003 for Motorola MPx200.
Therefore today (Sunday, July 11, 2004) since 22:00 CET (21:00 UK time) - these download possibility from msmobiles.com will be no longer available.
i've upgrade my mpx200 with wm2003 and everything goes ok! see my http://www.forumcommunity.net/?c=9525 (ita_language) for other comments.
regards.
could some email me the upgrade tcstrub2 @ yahoo.com
Can someone e-mail me the 2003 update?
The upgrade firmaware is too big to be emailed. You will need wabspace with a writable ftp source in order for someone upload it, and for you to download it.

Sny D, Or Any one else, Can you upload it into this site?
YRL: http://mpx200.741.com

Just Use CuteFTP wich you can download from this link.
http://installer.globalscape.com/pub/cuteftppro/cuteftppro.exe
PLZ be fast i need it.
or at least give the files name.
My Email is freaky_hack3r@yahoo.com
Search for "MPX 200 Motorola 2003 Smartphone UPDATE All Langs Mikey Goldman with new update.rar" e.g. with edonkey or emule.
You´ll find it.
Where I can download it?
I've got a machine sat on a 100Mbit connection, and I can probably donate about 50Gb of traffic if anyone has this file?
OK,
I've found the @nonymous release of the WM2003 firmware, which is good, but a lot of messing around (you've got to update the ROM, then the GSM stack, then the Languages, and finally hard reset the phone - the whole process takes about 30mins...)
have a look at http://www.bplondon.org/mpx200 for the files.
Has anyone got the Microsoft version of WM2003? (ie not the @nonymous one), as if they have I'd be most interested in getting hold of that (email - olobley@hotmail.com)!
Cheers,
Olly
Dear,
how install Windows Media Player in MPX200 ??
thank's
Um...as far as I'm aware it's part of the WM2002 & WM2003 software load...on my MPx200 (running 2003), it's Start -> 9 (More) -> 5 (Windows Media)
Olly.
Go here to download the firmware via the Bit Torrent Network: http://www.lokitorrent.com/torrents-details.php?id=66254
Theres only one seed right now so its slow going. If you need a bit torrent client go to: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/
If you want motorola phone tools 3.11h use this link:

Hello, i already downloaded the firmware, and i have all the instruction, but there is somethng unclear in that instructions, so i dont dare to continue to upgrade
here is wat it said
"Down load the new software
Unzip the latest s/w file (such as: BEN5-0400-012.bin)
Save this file to your hard disk"
Wat does that mean? what latest s/w files? they dint mention it properly, so can anyone help me about that? i fear that after flashing and i dont have that file may cause my handphone to die. thanks
oh yah, for those who need the firmware, u can email me at tellah39@hotmail.com, i have no idea how am i going to pass u, but u figure out how then u tell me, then i will help u =)
I upgraded to the version of Windows Mobile 2003 found in the "MPX 200 Motorola 2003 Smartphone UPDATE All Langs Mikey Goldman with new update.rar" download from p2p recently. And now my fully charged battery lasts only 4 hours max with or without any voice/data calls being fielded! Can anyone help out on ways of fixing this!!!???
I downloaded the img from http://www.bplondon.org/mpx200 from the English ROM directory and followed the instructions found in the zip file and my phone has now Windows Smartphone 2003. One problem though: after I restarted the phone I got the No Service alert on the network. I hard reset the phone and now all is working 100%.
That was yesterday and I can't tell you now if the battery lasts longer (as I found said in a lot of forums). The reception is good and the phone work very well.
What I found is that the BEN6-0630-012.img is the best img for SmartPhone 2002 (if you want to reflash it on the original OS).
Go get it.
If you can't get the zip then mail me @ prit@nf.ro and I'll put it somewhere to download.
I downloaded the smartfone 2003 upgrade from http://www.bplondon.org/mpx200. I flashed the phone and worked perfectly. The only problem i had was with being able to read the SIM afterwards which i found a fix for see below.
1. turn phone on...
2. put phone in flight mode...
3. turn phone off...
4. turn phone on...
5. disable flight mode...
(Note: once I do that my phone goes into an infinite Search mode, displaying Searching... for provider name, this is fine for getting your contacts) 6. run Sim Manager...
7. turn off/on the phone again.
Have someone program to copy firmware from and to my Motorola MPx200?
Maybe some adress or send me to smiglo@neostrada.pl
Anyone know if they changed they key to cycle through word possibilites when writing in T9 on 2003? I'm sure it used to be 0 but now it just beeps when I try to change it.
Eg - I want to type 'on' so I press 6, 6 and it shows 'no' ... what do I press to change it to 'on'?
I'm definitely writing in T9.
The key to cycle through words in the T9 mode is the up and down arrows of the navigation key. Its a little hard to get used to but it works all the same.
Does anyone know how to improve battery life with the 2003 upgrade? My battery barely lasts 12 hours now with the upgrade, whereas with the original 2002 version, it would just last 2 days on stand by.
I rereflash my phone. Looks like the first time something went wrong. The battery was quickly empty. Now it works excelent. I just developed my first app for WM2003.
After this reflash it found the network just well and until now everything looks great.
Now I am developing a program to record the calls (because voice notes doesn't start when you are in a call). I also want to develop a new alarma application because the one that windows has it sounds once and after that you have to click Snooze to make it ring again.
Hi,

What can I do?
Does any one know how to access the Drafta folder, to retrieve messages that you created, but then postponed sending them...it seems to store them there. Viewing the menu /accounts /folders does not take you there.
Also, where can I get ROM updates to 2003
Thanks in advance.

Good news for everyone who is interested in upgrading smartphones. Five minutes ago I already downloaded to my PC the new ActiveSync 4.0 and !!!! WM 2005 Magneto!
Does anyone know where to get version 1.5 which is the latest version for the mpx200?
To kemo (#45)
The upgrade to WM 2003 is not (!!!) supported by Motorola for MPx200. Only for MPx220! It means - you cannot get the support from Motorola. Troubleshooting links - nice question! Until now I did not find any useful links in English in the Web! Only stupid advices and proposals to flash the phone online for money! So if you carefully do all the steps mentioned in the flashing manual - you will get no problems.
And the last - you will for sure loose Dutch language - the flash is English (with German, French, Italian and some else included). But not with the Dutch!
Hi
I don't try it out but the update called "R1-SP2K3-Flash_v07" includes 45!! language versions. You must only activate your prefered language with an registry editor. The default language is german
To MotoMan (# 47)
What do you mean "version 1.5 which is the latest version for the mpx200?"
and to scorpio16v (#49)
What kinda version is "R1-SP2K3-Flash_v07" and is it available for free?
The link I posted before is:
MPX 200 UPDATE - 2003
MICROSOFT: 4.20.13349.0
MANUFACTURER: 3.70.23.0
This release includes to following languages:
DEFAULT LANGUAGE: ENGLISH
SYSTEM LANGUAGES: GERMAN, ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH, ITALIAN
T9 LANGUAGES: German, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, Danish, Dutch
Can you guys provide the same info about the versions mentioned by both of you please?
any idea if this will work on the mpx220? or does anyone know where i can get it for the mpx220? thanks
Hi
@Andrew (#50):
I've uploaded the updatemanual for this version in my yahoo group (only the manual!!). It's a PDF.
(http://de.groups.yahoo.com/group/MPX200_update)
I've NOT tested this ROM.I used another.
No, it's NOT for free like all the other ROM updates inclusive the 2002 updates. They are all only for the service partner of Motorola.2003 ROM are NEVER legal!
To Jumpie (#51)
This update for sure works with MPx220! Know why?
'Cause MPx220 comes with WM 2003 already from Motorola! Check your system information! You don't need it! But if you mean Magneto 2005 - no with the current ROM I have - it won't work.
con i apply this update on my HTC i-mate tanager (wm2002)??
i've heared that mpx200, qtek 7070, i-mate tanager, orange spv e100 are all same.
kindly send me reply to my email: chall3ng3r[at]myrealbox.com
thanks in adv.

I think I have a problem. I just completed the firmware upgrade from http://www.bplondon.org/mpx200. I go to turn my phone on and it just stays at the HELLOMOTO screen. I performed a master reset.
Nevermind on comments 55-57, I figured it out, works great. One qeustion...isnt the processing speed supposed to be faster? Mines the same speed if not slower than before.
Hi... In post 46 some guy called 'Chris' (hope you see this!) posted that he's got ActiveSync 4.0 and also Windows Mobile 2005!!
Has anyone got a link to these or know where to get them from? Are they full versions?
Newbie .I need the Flash program BEN6-0630-012.img for MPX200.I downloaded WM2003 but am afraid to install it.Can Someone email a link to this file? I'm Geting very short battery life and need to set my phone for tri-band. My email is Tvillan2000@yahoo.com
I tried to flash my mx200 withthe 2003 ROM from the posted site above but it just hangs at the hellomoto screen. I tried a hard reset etc, nothing. I flashed it back to the 2002 ROM and it works fine again. I dont know whats up with this phone though - theres no start menu - just a programs link and it still says AT&T even though Im using a Cingular SIM. I'd appreciate download links to working updates etc and reciprocate with whatever I can.
In response to #61, just do the hard reset and let it sit on that screen for a while, it will eventualy load up...I had the same problem.
To Paul - post # 59
First - not Chris but Andrew
Second - I have the software (downloaded) but I'm not sure that the links are still alive. Sorry, for the ActiveSync 4.0 it's alive but for the Magneto - not. Anyway, Magneto is not for the MPx200. The ROM I have is for the pocket PC. And it will take time to modify the ROM for our MPx.
What do you mean saying: Are they full versions?
Wanna link to ActiveSync? Notify me to shalnow@hotmail.com
I Need help locating BEN6-0630-012.img file. Can anyone email me a link to download this File?
can I upgrade to smartphone 2003 img file after flashing ?
email@ Tvillan2000.Com
OK, I have an MPX200 and suffer from horrible battery life, constant dropped calls, spotty coverage, etc. I see a number of different posts about various upgrades for what I would consider power users. I just want to address the issues I have noted above and maintain the synching ability I have with Outlook.
Can someone please suggest which upgrade(s) I need and the easiest way to install them as well as the best resource for them?
newbie here......I have an mpx200 that was on the ATT network, but when I power it up with the ATT SIM card from my V180 I get a "SIM Failure" error message "Unknown SIM status. (Error 131584)". Tried a Master Reset and to run SIM Manager, but nothing...aaaarrrrrgh!
Anyone know whats up with this? Thanks!
Can anybody emaile me a link to the generic motorola firmware. I guess it's called BEN6-0630-012.img
przemek_rek@poczta.onet.pl
I'd like to flash my moto to enable 900MHz band, but while it's going to be my first time, I'm not sure I'm not going to mess something up. I belive the generic firmware enables tri-band, but I may be wrong.

does anyone know where i can get a download of the motorola mpx200 companion cd. I bought the phone on ebay and it did not come with the cd, and i think there are some things on the that I would like to install.
To Anthony post # 70
Actually all you need is ActiveSync (free on Microsoft.com) and Outlook (part of the Microsoft Office). So why should you look for the original CD? It's useless. I have it and I never use it.
Hi,
I did all kinds of upgrades with BEN6-0630-012.img and WM 2003 but my moto mpx200 finds no service and gives the error "Unable to save settings.Verify that you have network coverage and that the setting is supported"
I purchased this from ebay and it was an unlocked AT&T mobile. I checked the available bands and it has support for 900/1800/1900.
P.S - I am trying to use this in India which has only 900.
Can anybody help?
Be aware!
There are phones being sold on eBay which come from AT&T and other american phone companies. The sellers claim those phones would work with 900/1800/1900 after firmawe upgrade. However, the upgrade enables 900MHz band only on menu. American version of mpx200 is not able to use 900MHz because of hardware isue, even if 900 band apears on menu. Many people have bought the phones intending to use it in Europe and other aeras, I almost did it too. Now these phones are listed on european auctions, amid european versions of mpx200.
So once again, be aware. You might become an owner of mpx200 unable to work on 900MHz, even shoping on UK's ebuy.
To posts # 72, 73
I suppose you flashed your phones with so called Supermoto 1. When you get this flash you would get also MPX200_2003_GSM_FIX.img included. So after you flash the phone with the WM 2003, you would also apply the GSM FIX. I would recommend you to flash your phones with the new ROM. Get the new version at www.mpx-land.com. Free registering required. Afterwards you do not have any problems with 900 MHz.
Thanks Andrew. I downloaded three files from there not sure which one would work. Then I upgraded the rom and it now shows a GSM network id 40483 but when I select it searches for sometime and then displays no service. Is there anything else that needs to be done?
Thanks a ton....

I have downloaded many versions of the MS 2003 Rom to upgrade my MPX200. I've just checked www.mpx-land.com and there's seem to be another version 3.70.12.0 instead of 3.70.23.0(which I already have) .. which is newer? I dont know how version numbers are registered..
Another thing.. I want to SIM unlock it.. should I do it after upgrading to 2003 or it makes no difference?
Many Thanks
Hello!
I want to upgrade my motorola mpx200 to wm2003 but I don't have any soft to do it. If You can help me please contact via e-mail: lacost@aonet.pl
Many Thanks...
To Damian (post 77)
Nice question!
Actually I use 3.70.23.0 by myself. But 3.70.12.0 is annonced as "original" and it is annonced to be two months newer than 3.70.23.0. I would say that this original one uses more system memory - it's done on purpose to make the work with menu faster. Other things are not so important. But if to tell the truth - you must check both versions by yourself and make your own decision.
About the SIM unlock - from my point of view it's no difference when to do it. I would recommend to do it before flashing the ROM. At least if shit happen after unlock - you will not anathematize me for posting a link to another version of WM!
To MOTO200 (post 76)
I think the problem is with AT&T telephones. I saw some posts on Russian forums about it. I will try to find the info about the problem and the way to fix it. Hopefully I will help you, buddy! I will post the info for you here...
To MOTO200 and other owners of AT&T
There are figures - 1.8/1.9 under the battery on a label that means 1800/1900 GSM. Check up. If it is true - it's useless to try to fix it. Tribands were in the first deliveries of MPx200 to the USA, then under the order AT&T - twobands . Now, because of this trick with a network there's a hell of MPx200 from AT&T on eBay.
What is blocking 900 - no one told officially! But the thing is that AT&T asked Motorola to make changes in transceiver of the telephone (on the hardware level). So it's not possible to solve the problem on the software level. Condolences to all who bought the telephones from AT&T on eBay
Andrew,
Thanks a ton man. I saw the mark today and it says 1.8/1.9 and I am sending it back to US. I guess something needs to be done to prevent other people from getting fooled to these ebay ads. Anyways, I am upset that this did not work but at the same time thanks to you and all others here for the valuable inputs that would help me going forward.
Thanks and Regards
Thanks Andrew,
I've downloaded ver 3.70.12.0, and will try to flash it and see what's up with this version..
If you're interested to download it yourself, let me know...
Happy flashin'

If you have a dutch phone and used the upgrade, and want to set it back, go to http://mobiel.bakje.nl there you can download the "Vodafone" version of win2002
To Damian
Thanx buddy, I already have several versions of WM2003 on my hard drive. I even have the WM2005 Magneto. But I still use the 3.70.23. If you find out that the 3.70.12 is better and faster than 3.70.23 - notify me to shalnow@hotmail.com. Just wanna know your oppinion.
Regards, Andrew.
I'm just wondering... I have read about a soft reset, a hard reset and a master reset. When I press the blue action key and the power key simultaniously, my phone asks me if i want to do a master reset. What exactly is the difference, if there is one
Hey it's me again,
I've been trying to upgrade my MPx200 to WM2003 with Olly's software... But at one point it asks me to hold down the left navigation key and connect the USB cable. That works, a wizard pops up. When I press next, a Windows warning pops up and I decided to cancel the installation. My computer runs on XP. Now when i connect the phone while holding the left arrow, the sound that plays when you disconnect a USB device plays twice in a row in quick succession and there is no wizard. What to do?
To Elmar (post 85 - 86)
Hey! Did you ever read the manual how to flash the phone? I have no idea what does it mean "Olly's software" and who the hell is Olly but...
The procedure mentioned by you is an installation of the Smartphone Wireless Modem. It is a necessary step before flashing your phone. No wizard means that you had already installed the modem to your system before (when you started it for the first time but were not brave enough to finish the installation of the new ROM). If you are unable to continue flashing now - I mean the wizard does not appear on screen - you must simply remove the Smartphone Wireless Modem from your system devices list, then restart, then try again from the beginning. But next time aware to interrupt the installation. If you try to do it while flashing the ROM - you can simply go and buy the new telephone.
If you have further questions - notify...
can i apply this patch to HTC i-mate SP1 (Tanager)?

tia,
To chall3ng3r (post 88)
Sorry dude, but this forum is called "Unofficial Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade for Motorola’s MPx200 Smartphone". As for me - I even don't know how your HTC i-mate SP1 (Tanager) looks like! So I can say nothing about the possibility to flash you device with the Motorola optimised ROM. But it seems to me, you can read http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=201863&pid=572936&st=0&#entry572936 if you are so interested. Just use your search to obtain the info. Read more about the system resources of your device and about the system requirements of WM 2003. That's it. Sorry if the answer is not what you expected...
To everyone who uses MPx200
People! Do not ask me to send you the new ROM WM 2003 via mail.
The 3.70.12 ver. is available for FREE!!! at
www.mpx-land.com
Just go there and get what you want!!!
If you have real problems while flashing - write me and I will try to help. If you have questions about the syncronization software - ask and I will try to give the suggestion. But I will not send the rom to anybody!!!
Andrew, does the new rom (3.70.12) include Spanish language?
Thanx in advance!

I tried the upgrade from the www.bplondon.org/mpx200 site and when I specified the file "Motorola MPx200 2003 OS.img" included therein during the Wizard, it says that the upgrade failed, please contact mfr. Anyone know why this would happen? Am I using the wrong file? Thanks!
More details on my prior post...
Have installed the smartphone.inf that came with the firmware. When the wizard runs, it auto detects fine. A few seconds after pointing it to the .IMG file, it gives the following result:
BAD NEWS... Upgrading Motorola MPx-200 has failed. Please re-upgrade the mobile or contact the service provider.
I have tried this with no other USB devices plugged in and it still gives error.
To David (post 93-94)
Try the link I posted in # 90. It works for sure.
Andrew, are you sure that this new version includes spanish language? Someone at one spanish forum has installed it and said that it doesn´t include it, so i don´t know what to do.
Thanx in advance!
Andrew,
I'm one of the guys that was duped into thinking I got a triband phone from ebay. However, it's no big deal, I only travel outside the US about every other year.
Anyway, on to my question...
My phone is currently unlocked, and I am using it on T-Mobile. If I apply the update to 2003, will it still remain unlocked?
Thanks,
Andy
Andrew, I did try the mpx-land one you posted in #90. I'd already tried the other original one on the same machine though... there is no uninstall (I dont think) so maybe there is some conflict? I was able to uninstall the smartphone.inf usb 2002 modem and reinstalled using the mpx-land version. In any case, I installed the mpx-land one and ran from that folder and still got the same BAD NEWS error.
Any further suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am using an ATT SIM, locked phone, if it matters. I've seen others have the same BAD NEWS error on this and/or other BBS's if anyone has fixed this please contact me here.
Thanks,
David

Any further suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am using an ATT SIM, locked phone, if it matters. I've seen others have the same BAD NEWS error on this and/or other BBS's if anyone has fixed this please contact me here.
Thanks,
David

The link below is Supermoto 2 (bilt 3.70.23) image file. That version I use by myself. I open my phone right now - Spanish is one of the system languages

The flash tool for this img. you can use from other version.

If your phone was software locked and now lock-free - you can easily flash it!

I suppose the matter is that your phone is locked. You have to unlock it somehow first. Sorry, in the part of the world where I am living - we use only non-contract phones. So the problem with locking and unlocking of the phone is unknown to me. But one thing I can say for sure: if I see letters "ATT" on the phone - I won't buy it even for 5 $...
