i got my hands on an install file for wm 5...i was wondering if it is possible to update my xda with this...it installs from active sync...i don't want to try anything i can't fix, so please, help is greatly appreciated...if this is not possible, then i will upload the file if desired for further experimentation and such...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya_2005
thanks for the link...btw have you tried this?
it's only for himalaya == xda2
if you have a walaby xda1
you cant get wm2005
wm is nothing like windows on pc's
where you can install it on any pc
a rom have to be 100% made for a pda
to ever work at all
there is not genetic install you can put on any pda
sorry i didn't do my research correctly...as i was in a hurry yesterday...i just wanted it to be possible...thanks for the replies anyways...

Hello,
im an old reader of this form, cause im reading it since 2 years, but never tryed to write something.
Now im really interested in this... the upgrade of an ipaq 3970 to WM 5.0.
I know that noone tryed it, cause i really couldnt find anything on interent. But i found that someone update its ipaq 5450.
So the two has the same hardware i think apart the processor (new version) and the wifi.
So... someone can help me or explain me, cause i really cant get nothing until now.
I tryed with the described method for 5450 to update, but the Hima update tool isnt able to connect to my ipaq.
Every help will be appreciated,
thanks,
Tommaso
i've yet to have confirmed anybody ever porting a rom from one device to anohter even if the hardware was somewhat the same
h5450 to WM5
Could you maybe post some more info - links on this upgrade of h5450 to WM5? I'd like to try it. I've done few attaempts which have failed, btu so have others to upgrading to WM2003. But maybe I'm doing something wrong.
please post more info.
Cheers

Uhm... i dont think that here i can write links or something else about a software that sure is warez.
So u can find it easily on p2p channels, but i dont know really if it works. From what is written yes and i can believe this yes, cause i struggled much and i could update my 3970 bluetooth stack to the very last one stack outta there of Broadcomm and make it work. So i suppose that there arent so much differences from pda to pda.
iPAQ 3970 to WM 5.0
Yes, I'm interested in it too!
Can any one guide me how to do it in kitchen ? !
many thanks!
As a user of Familiar Linux on a few different Ipaq devices I can confirm that the 3900 and 5000 series use the same installation file for installing Linux, so it may be possible to 'cross-flash' both these devices, however as always, make sure you have a good OS restore file available.
Actually perhaps the best way to go would be to use the OHH bootloader used in installing Familiar to save a ROM image file before trying any exotic upgrades, might help in any unbricking that may be necessary if things go wrong....
Hi there,
I read the forum for some days now and did learn quite a lot. Unlocked my T-Mobile MDA Vario II, flashed HardSPL, and also a new WM6 Rom. Since I'm on Vista i have some Problems now. After the WM6 Rom was on the Device Vista detected a new Mobile Device and now Mobile Device Center from Vista is freaking out, sometimes it detects my phone, sometimes not. I pressume because of WM6, since with WM5 on the Phone i didn't have these Problems..
Anyone knows something about that?
Another thing is, i really would like to have a german wm6 rom, but the Tool to convert a .nb to a .nbh file i found in the Wiki (Koch) doesn't seem to work in Vista, i always get an compiler error when i load the .nb file. Are there any other Tools or could someone here maybe just build me a german rom with Vodafone OEM stuff and convert it for me?
regards,
nEUTRon
You really need to read mrvanx guide, look at my signature.

I must learn to read properly! The problem is caused because the device centre sees it as a new device, it would be best to uninstall the device centre and reinstall it that should sort it. In regards of the tools problem I know of nothing to fix this, I have to run mine on XP it is the only way.
Damn...Thanks anyway. So i have to make my rom when i'm back at office with some XP machine
I have the same problems with Vista detecting my phone. I sometimes have to plug and unplug it three times before it detects it. Also, it seems to work best for me with the option "Enable advanced networking functionality" unchecked in Settings | Connections | USB to PC.
Hello. Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I am new to flashing roms, and I don't know who to ask for help. I have an audiovox ppc4100 and all I want to do is upgrade it to windows mobile 5 or 6. Just something other than wm2003. I've downloaded numerous wm6 and wm5 images from this site (They are extremely cool looking from the screenshots I've seen!) but I cannot seem to get any of them to work. I am running windows vista, so activesync isn't available. Its the windows mobile device center. It would just be easiest if I could rom upgrade from my 2gb sd card. Is there anyone who can help me either cook a wm5 or wm6 rom for my ppc4100 or give me some pointers on how to do this (remember, I'm a newbie!) I would really appreciate anyone's help. Thanks so much!

roms are custom made for devices only a rom which is made for that type of hardware setup will do you any good
how can i do this?i tried to download a lot of files from this website but they didn't work....
can you help me? i'm italian.
can you make me a simple guide to change the rom in my phone?
thanks a lot
yes plz...same problem here
any one
You have to read and understand English. This should be enough to upgrade even to WM6.1. Start using Wiki.
PS: downloading files without understanding what are they for is the best way not to do anything or to destroy your device.
what i mean to say is that i want to upgrade my imate pda2k windows from 4 to 5..
for that the file named Version 5.1.1700 Build 14343 - Patched by Mamaich V3
