Upgrading other devices to WM2003SE? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi All,
I know this is a HTC device forum, but does anyone know if the WM2003SE ROM in the kitchen would be able to upgrade other devices such as iPaq 5555 or Dell Axim X50v???

Anybody have a answer to this???

roms only work for the devices they were made for

Thanks Rudegar, I figured as much but due to my lack of experience with other devices I did not want to discourage others with a incorrect answer.

The Cingular 8525 is the HTC Hermes aka the HTC TyTN.
If you read the threads in the HTC Hermes section, you'll find everything you need to know about the ROMs available for your phone and links as to where to find them.
The ROMs contain the Operating System, aka WM5 or WM6 that you are looking for.
But -- first and foremost -- READ, READ, READ.

HTC Tytn, HTC Hermes, and cingular 8525 is the same phone. Just some cosmetic differences (except the front camera for video calling)... this is not the same as the wizard, that is a different phone.

There are several different versions of the WM6 for the phone you have, just look in the hermes WM6 thread.

If you have the software in the form of a cab file then just transfer the file to your phone, use the file explorer in your phone to locate the new cab and tick on it to install it.

Hi pof,
are you planning to backport it to himalaya et al. ?
It is already possible to reflash the radio ROM on universal under linux
directly, but i don't want to try it myself
I don't have himalaya.... i was planning Hermes, Trinity, Artemis, Universal, Wizard and BlueAngel, as those are the devices I have, or have friends who can lend me for testing.
If you have usb capture of himalaya or other htc devices flashing process, i can adapt it easily too.

Upgrading a X50 520mhz to WM5 or WM6?

Im new to this arena and im looking to upgrade my X50 (Pocket PC 2003)i would like to do WM6 but i dont know if its possible. It seems like all of the successful flashes occur with the VGA versions. Can i flash my X50 with it, and the same question goes for WM5. I cant find any rom that has the standard X50 in the title. I dont want to brick it so im being alittle careful. Can someone point me in the right direction?

It's great that you're being careful! You have to be one of the smartest X50 users I've seen lately in this forum! Currently, the only WM5 and WM6 ROMs in this forum that I'm aware of are for the VGA Axims only. Those would be the X50v and X51v. You cannot flash either of the X50v ROMs to your X50, unfortunately. You will end up with a brick as many X50 users have found out the hard way. Yes, some have recovered successfully, but it's definitely not a good thing for your blood pressure/stress level. I wish I had some better news for you, but that's about all I can tell you. You probably already have done this, but a quick search or two in these forums will probably confirm (or disprove) my answer. Perhaps an X50 user somewhere along the way will come up with a ROM for X50s.
so how would i go about creating a rom for wm5 for my x50?

Start researching...
Honestly, I have not created a ROM before. I know how to do some basic ROM stuff, but I don't know how to build/modify one to create a working one for another device. There are lots of helps in these forums if you take the time to find them. Obviously, making a working ROM is a lot of work and something that should not be taken lightly. There are lots of different ways to brick a device by poorly building a ROM. However, if you're really serious about it, I'm sure you will have the drive to do your research and find answers. Some more experienced ROM creators who have experience with Axim devices are Football and MagLite_RUS. They might be able to give you some direction. Good luck.

WM6 ROM creation for x50 non-VGA

Im wondering if its possible to create a rom for an x50 using WM6. Im new to this crowd but i dont have a problem getting my hands dirty. I have some experiance creating and hacking non WM phones so i figure i can probably keep myself from drownding.
I know almost all of the new PPC's and Smartphones are VGA, does WM6 only run on VGA phones? also it seems the only roms out there for WM6 are for VGA devices, is that the reason?. Im also wondering how hard it would be to modify an existing WM6 rom for the x50v so that it would work with the x50(if thats possible).
my PPC is 520mhz with 128mb ram QVGA
I would greatly appreciate some help/nudge in the right direction.
Kind of duplicate thread of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323523
The process is probably the same as building a rom for a x50v, which is easier than doing it for an x51v as there is an issue for creating/modifying xip. However You can check if you can directly re-use x50v xip.
KINDA...helps
The thread helped alittle, pointed me to the tools. However, i still dont know if its possible and i dont want to try it and have the result of a bricked PDA.
I don't see why it would not be possible. You need to extract your nb0 to start, since you have it, you can always recover from a corrupted rom. I had already extract file from a x51 rom with success using those tools. I don't have any x50, x51 device to try it. But I already modified several x51v rom using those tools to be able to fix the CF bug on Football A17 rom.

Pretty close to a duplicate of another one of your threads, Compliance:

Hi
Well...
I tried to start up looking into the differences in the roms but i can't even open them
Ill try some more but i think it's just waist of time. U really need a good coder like football to do this...
Let's hope someone can do the magic for x50/x51 like he did with the v editions
By the way, isn't there a possibility to port a x51v to a x51 rom ?

Toshiba e830

Hi,
I need some Help with the Toshiba e830.
Well as I know there are no updates whatsoever, but maybe some of you guys can make one. I really want to have at least wm5 because the old wm2003 doesnt seem to work with most new programs (i need the new opera mobile 9.5)
The device is great hardwarewise. I mean it has all i need.
actually i read, that there was an update for the japanese e830 (japanese Rom)
http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=214221
there is a link where you can download the rom....
so if anyone of you can do something with it, it would be great.
i have no experience at all with these things.
but i am willing to help with my device.
please guys i need your help....
Comeon guys, is there really nobody willing to help?
Im willing to pay if needed.
im telling you. its a great machine, and most of the newer programs are just made for wm5 or wm6. so is there no solution to this.
i mean there is a bootloader for the japanese rom, cant i backup my own, or write a new rom with wm6 on the pda?
are there any other e830 users?

You should do a wm5 or wm6 rom for such e830 users as me,and somebody maybe pay for it
LOL
thats what im asking others to do...
because i have absolutely no plan at all...
if there are tutorials on how to do it or someone would explain or help how it works im willing and will try it for sure...
and i guess there are still some e830 users out there.
as i understood, the problem is a bootloader to reach the data in the rom of the device...
hehe, im the one who needs help...
anyway, ive found a bootloader and the japanese rom update...
there are two files: eboot.bin and xip.bin ...
so maybe someone of you guys knows anything...
Yeah its me again, a thread with my posts only...
Does anybody know who could be contacted to help me?
i do have a xip.bin and a eboot.bin and the flash program itself...
any help or ideas?
