Can someone please tell me what type of PDA this, eg Himalaya, Blue Angel, this Ipaq h1930 come under. Looking to upgrade the OS if its possible. Any help appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hey Shand,
Himalaya etc are the names related to the PDAs made by HTC...19xx series belong to HP and for its upgradation visit www.hp.com and select the option "Support..."
the h1930 has no upgrades for operating systems whatsoever. maybe a rom update, but nothing as far as second edition and definitely not 2005.
there's a lot of HP bashing about it, but they're just corporate-haters
This link to ipaq centre offers to update your ipaq1900 series to the latest available for less than 20 uk pounds.

And here you can order the upgrade to WM2003.

You have to buy it from HP. It will be supplied with instructions.
Go to the support/download pages of the HP web site and select your product and there will be a link for you to buy it.
yeah roms for pda's have to be 100% made for the device so 2005 roms from this site will never work on any other devices then the ones they were made for

www.ipaqchoice.com lists the official available upgrades to wm2005 for ipaqs. No h6315....
HP bailed on the h6315 years ago....it went officially end-of-life for spares ( screens, parts etc) end of 2005 which is unusual for an ipaq as well.
The 6315 was a 'special' for t-mobile US who controlled the release of the roms and it was beset with problems during it's troubled lifespan. The best you can do is get the generic h6365 rom hacked to work on the h6315 as it is very stable and actually usable. Google it. There is linux also, but I really doubt wm2005 exists although I'd love to have it if it did...and there's definatley no official wm2005 rom.

I need WM5 or WM6 ROM for my hp iPAQ h6365, please?
Well, I think its the XDA forum should also include roms and mods and hacks , software for ipaq wm5 pda phones. Please start a dedicated forums for iPAQ PDA phones, please
I second this I think you guys are mostly HTC oriented but I would love forums for the ipaq, and symbian OS devices.
i support that i have an ipaq 6945 and would like to upgrade it....
Help unlock my ipaq 6945
Please guys i am find a way to unlock my ipaq 6945.
Tks
There is a section of this forum dedicated to HP hw69xx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=329
However the upgrade process isnt fully hacked.
It'd be nice if there were a section dedicated to the iPAQ 6800 series, or just a general iPAQ section discussing unlocking, upgrading or whatever. (I am aware that the iPAQ 6800 is related to the Atom, it just seems that if you even MENTION the 6800 in that forum, no one wants to hear about it... )

I clearly understand those people. During the last week legally trying to change the language of my hw6915 the words "HP support" became sort of a swearing lexicon to me. The specs for my device is also weird - so many devices and gadgets but so primitive screen
The only thing I can suggest to you me101 is to stick around the Atom forums and gain knowledge about the internals of that device.
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
Have you guy read this:
Last week, Microsoft formally unveiled Windows Mobile 6.1, the latest version of its operating system for handhelds and smartphones.
Naturally, the owners of current devices are anxious to know if and when updates for their units will be released.
Unfortunately, there's bad news for users of HP's latest iPAQs. Responding to a question from Brighthand, Mike Hockey, Hewlett-Packard's Worldwide Public Relations Manager, said:
HP will not be offering an operating system upgrade for currently shipping HP iPAQ devices beyond what ships on the device today -- Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.
This decision comes after having evaluated the potential for delays in firmware and software updates, device recertification, and carry-over costs to our customers that are often associated with an operating system upgrade.
HP is committed to continuing its long-standing relationship with Microsoft and will deliver HP iPAQs with Windows Mobile 6.1 at a future date.

Anyone with 2xx cooking skills??

Just bought a HP 214, so I'd be very interested in the 6.1 upgrade.
It does not supprise me that HP have made this decision, they let us all down with the upgrade for the 4700 from 2003 to wm5, that in mind it will be better to have someone cook the rom than wait/trust HP to release a workable upgrade.
This just shows how committed HP is to their customers--they're not! I'm in the market for a new pocket pc and I was thinking about getting the HP 211, but I think I will just go with the dell axim X51v now.
Soo much for their so called "3 years Supports" ...
This is what i got.. 1 single version OS for the rest of your life.
multimedia on ipaq and dell.

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!

Hi Mr. Orb3000,

Cheerio!

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!!!
