I'm trying to support a friend of mine, who has one of the first Axim X5 with WM2002, to upgrade it...
...as much as possible (ideally to 2003SE, or 2003 at least) :?:
Dell site was obviously useless
Any idea of where I should look?
Is there any forum like this one for Dell PDAs maybe? :shock:
Thanks in advance for any suggestion!
www.aximsite.com, will tell you everything

Sorry, if this an inappropriate question for this board, but my guess is y'all can help.
I just got a ipaq rx1955 with WM2005. I am having issues and want to take my old h2200 that has PC 2003 and clone it to the 1955.
The 2200 is clunking and will be "retired", thus the copyright issues would be avoided.
Thoughts? Help?
Thanks!
hi do you have a rom upgrade wm2005 for rx1950. thanks
Hello,
I have a Dell Axim x50v recently purchased off ebay along with a Dell Executive Bluetooth Keyboard.
I am on WM2003SE but think I want to go to at least WM2005 for advanced options with my pocket genealogist program.
I also would like to view photos and listen to music on my axim.
Can someone tell me the best upgrade roms to go for, if at all?
photos and muisic work on all os's equally well. not sure about your genealogist program.
wm2003 A05 is pretty stable.
Hi,
I would need assistance - which ROM for WM6 to use for HP Ipaq 2200?
I am novice for this. Can anyone help me with this one finding the ROM for this built?
Where should I search for?
Thanks!
Can anyone suggest me where to search for WM6 for my PDA?
me 2 thnaks!!
If your refering to the OLD iPAQ 2210 series, I don't think WM6 fits in a 32MB ROM, which is what those pda's had. I used to have one of those and that is one of the reasons I upgraded. I wonder how much can you take out of WM6 to be able to reduce it's size by half...
This so far has worked on a my 2755 and another 2495. Not sure about earlier versions.

DO NOT FLASH THIS TO YOUR 2200 series. It IS NOT the correct firmware.
Further checking shows this is not for the 2200 series
HP iPAQ hx2110/hx2115/hx2190/hx2190b/hx2195/hx2195b/hx2410/hx2415/hx2490
hx2490b/hx2495/hx2495b/hx2750/hx2755/hx2790/hx2790b/hx2795/hx2795b
It will be nice to have iPAQ H2210 upgraded to WM6.
My H2210 has PPC 2003 ROM only not even 2003SE. It will be nice to have it upgraded to 2003SE if WM6 is not available. Can someone help?
so yes, or no?
NO! iPAQ H2200 series cannot be upgraded because it is too much of efforts and too little reward to build a WM5/6 ROM for this most easily broken (mostly grips and battery doors) amongst the iPAQs.
In my humble opinion: NO. The Windows Mobile 6 Operating System does not fit into a 32MB ROM. I remember back when 2003SE came out, we couldn't even upgrade to that because of the ROM size constraint. That said, I do still like the PDA a lot, specially the large bright screen and ergonomics.
yes, 2200 series have got a little ROM, but support CF cards! I have heard, that system can boot from a card, so if somebody can change it to boot from card, it will be great, and users of 2200 series can be happy with new WM!
Help me too ... hate the wm 2003
i bought an hp ipaq h2200 frm a friend, and thought ,and now i d like to flash a wm 5 or 6.x rom to it. I read through the above posts to understand i probably cannot. But if i can boot a different os from the mem cards, can i please know more about it?
please help ...
wm 2003 is stifling me
Hi guys. I have a hp ipaq hx2750.
Since my parents won't buy me ipod touch or other stuff,
I bought the hp ipaq hx2750 from my dad. (yes from my dad)
It's so old I was on the verge of throwing it away, then I was
introduced to Windoes Mobile 6.5.
So here's my question. How do I update my hp ipaq hx2750 to
Windows Mobile 6.5? Can somebody post a pic by pic guide?
If I jack my ipaq up I won't get another for sure. Thanks for
your help and time guys.
Also need some upgrading guidance.
Hello Guys,
I want to use TOM TOM 7 on my iPAQ HX2750 and since it doesn't work at present, I think upgrading from Win CE 4.21 to WM 5 or 6 might solve the problem. So,
1. Which is best? WM 5, 6.1, 6.5??
From other posts, there seem to be issues with upgrading such that codecs, rom, etc. need to be upgraded too.
2. Will I have to update additional software components in order to sucessfully install the new operating system?
3. Which components will I need?
Hope somewher, some1 will take pity and HELP
Thanks!

Thanks for the link!
Hi Mr. Orb3000,

Cheerio!

1. Which is best? WM 5, 6.1, 6.5??
A: That will depend on tastes, I like 6.5 but you need to have a powerfull device to really enjoy it.
I hope you find all you need!
Device Power
A helpful hint. My best guess is that the iPAQ HX2750 is one of the lesser powerful devices considering when I bought it in 2004 it came with win CE 4.21.
Will probably be a good idea then to opt for WM5 or 6.1 (at a push)
Thanks again!!!

Hey all, I just joined on a referral from the Dell Axim forums. I just bought a Dell Axim x50v from an auction real cheap, and i'm looking to upgrade the OS on the device. It currently has Windows Mobile CE 2003 on it, and i would like to upgrade it to whatever is the newest that it can handle. I did do a search, but i found a lot of posts, so i thought it would be best to create a new one to effectively set my claim. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks
