What's Platform Builder ? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Can I use Platform Builder make a OS for My XDA2i ?

Yes. If you have got a full version with a correspinding BSP. But you don't have it.

I got PB 5.0 with INTEL PXA27x DEV PLATFORM:ARMV4I, it's correspinding?

Nope. That's the default BSP that comes with PB5. You need a BSP specifically to your device but it is pretty much impossible to get one.

And you need a newer PlatFormBuilder - 5.1x or something like that.
Windows Mobile 2005 version is numbered 5.1. Trial version of PlatFormBuilder from MS site can design only WinCE 5.0 images.

Upgrading Hitach g1000 from sprint

Is it possible to flash the sprint hitachi g100 (sh-g1000) to linux or a later version of windows mobile?
i dont think so, unless you can port the xip and cid unlock it yourself. or find a forum for the device itself. this forum is for htc phones, and as its made by hitachi, i dont think it can be done here
Rory
from what i recall then that device dont even have a flash based rom but a hardcoded one so it can never get any rom upgrade at all official or otherwise

It has a PXA cpu, and an ATI W3200 video+USB+SDIO.
AFAIK nobody tried to port linux to this device, though it should be doable.
You may run haret.exe on it, and post the haretlog.txt here.

WM6.1 on Motorola z8

dear profs
am a user, and have no idea about the coding-work.
still i find you guys making almost all my wishes come true here (bluetooth watch support, wm6.1 in mpx220 etc)...
now i am offering 1000 usd for the guy building a hack (or whatever) so that i can run windows mobile 6.1 on motorola z8.
why?
> i am using htc rose and find windows mobile 6.1 standard the ideal os for a cellphone. the rose is fine.. but i can't stop starring at my motorola z8 and imagine having the same os on it.
if, for some reason, not possible at all, pls explain.
thank you very much for all ur efforts and work u put into your products.

the phone specs:
http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/X...d-Services/Mobile-Phones/ci.MOTO-Z8-XW-EN.alt
roms == firmware is embedded software custom made for a spc device
it can't be ported from device to device
your motorola z8 is a symbian device and as such haver never had a rom foundation for it
there have never been made drivers for every little feature of the device
and if the phone don't use an arm cpu windows mobile have never been ported to that platform

As far as I know most GPS devices are based on Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 Core it's like a small Windows with Start Menu, Desktop and so on, but this feature is locked down only to Navigation Software and Simple file browsing.
There is no final Windows CE6, only some RC versions.
Windows Mobile is also based on Windows CE, but that's a different OS tree.
Basically there is nothing You can do with the dump.
P.S. I think You mean Acer P610

doubt about wm version

Hello to all the xda community.
I'm happy to have find out this place, where is possible to find interesting discussion and useful things for my mobile phone ( htc hd2 ).
Really thanks to all.
i was reading some post in these days about personalized themes and other stuff and often i read that most of this things works for windows mobile 6.5 or 6.5.x
Well, my htc hd2 ( buyed here in italy ) mount the 6.5 wm but i read something different on my phone: in my Info Software panel i can read the os version that is 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82 ).
I'm pretty confused now....
Maybe i can update the os?
Thanks for your support again.
i must say sorry....
i found something interesting about the various windows mobile version.
here the list:
3.0.9348 Pocket PC 2000
3.0.11171 Pocket PC 2002
4.20.xxxx Windows Mobile 2003
4.21.xxxx Windows Mobile 2003 SE
5.1.xxxx Windows Mobile 5
5.2.xxxx Windows Mobile 6
maybe this can be useful for someone here
anyway i didn't understand yet why in most post it's mentioned 6.5.x or 6.5 if the wm version are the only that i posted up here...
can someone help me just to understand?
for example, in a thread it's write that the a kind of task manager can work for WM6.5.X (28205/23518) ROM ( i dont know why the site don't allow me to insert the link ).
How i can check out what kind of WM version i have installed?
As i wrote already, i can read that i have installed 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82 )
So...may i upgrade my windows mobile or i'm misunderstanding something?
Thanks
What exactly are you asking? You're running Windows Mobile 6.5, if that's your question. You are NOT running 6.5.x, though if you search you will find plenty of 6.5.x ROMs for your Leo. The numbers you're seeing on the info panel are simply the Windows CE kernel version and the Windows Mobile build number, both of which are irrelevant for most people.

5.2 is the Windows CE Version
21869 is the build number
5.0.82 is the AKU
There's a list somewhere stating that 5.0.x AKUs are WM 6.5
The newest 6.5.x builds have a higher AKU i.e. 5.5.x
They also have a higher build number like i.e. 23534
There's also a list somewhere stating which range of build numbers belong to which version of 6.x
I agree it's a bit confusing in the beginning.

Exactly.
I was asking if the phone has installed wm 6.5, cause i was read in the info panel that number that you explain now that is the kernel version

Ok.
So, the phone have installed the wm 6.5 until i use the official ROM released from HTC support.
It change only if i install, for example, a different rom donwloadble from here.
Am i right?

I think that you already understand that i'm new in this kind of things.

Windows Embedded Compact 7 installable?

Has it been compiled yet?
I know they released a community preview trial, but I'd love to get my hands on an installable package for my tablet.
CE7 is not like a desktop OS where there's a vast library of pre built drivers, ready to install on just about any machine. It requires the development of a BSP (Board Support Package) for the specific device it's being deployed on.
Example of a CE7 BSP
So, if your ODM has not already developed a BSP specifically for your device, that's who you need to start bugging for one
Incidentally, all CE-based platforms require a BSP like this. Every WM PDA/Phone/Device and every CE based POS system/etc. out there have one or several. You could consider it an "official ROM kitchen".
