I along with a ton of other Harrier owners can't wait to get WM5!!!
In light of the "NO GSM" error people are getting I'm assuming there is something in the BA ROM that checks the Radio on boot.
Has anyone actually opened up the latest 2003SE Harrier ROM and the latest 2003SE BA ROM and actually looked for what the difference is? I'm hoping someone can do that and maybe modify the WM5 BA ROM thereby compatible with the Harrier.
I've tried opening both my 2003SE ROM using the "er2003edit" but it keeps saying the password is wrong. Also it won't open the WM5 BA ROM.
Any thoughts???
Hi, I have the harrier XV6600 and I have a bit knowledge related to the ROMS and stuff, I'll be trying to figure out what the difference is, i'm assuming it's the whole Kernel it self, but not sure, anyways, can you provide me with as much information about ur device... carrier, rom etc... also where u able to boot up WM2005 at all on your device? I get to the screen with the four colors then get to the menu, and ones I hit the envelope it just gives me a white screen and it stays there for ever until i reset and then i'm back to step one..
I would like to know if it atleast is capable of booting up the OS before I decide to spend sometime trying to make it compatible with the CDMA network.. thanks
No Harrier owners as of yet have gotten it to boot. We all simply get the NO GSM error after install and after the screen you mentioned you got to.
I've cooked my ExtROM onto my SD Card and resized my memory so I'm ready for it atleast. I also have the correct installer for the Harrier as all of the Harrier specific tools for unhiding, unlocking, and resizing the ExtROM. Also I have all of the 2.04 ROM version files of all the .exe's that all the BA guys said WM5 was missing and had posted from their 2003SE ROM's. Of course we don't have the WiFi file. I also have the patched WM5 ROM nbf without the file error that mamaich made.
It's the kernel thats different, 2003 and 2005 are using the same bootloader. Looking at the 2003 gsm rom, the kernel is very similiar to the 2005 rom. Getting the cdma radio layer running would be easy enough, but, we have to get the kernel to boot the OS. Not sure if the 2003 kernel will do it, i'll give it a shot though. May even be able to throw one together in PB

Sweet, I'll be waiting for the results of your attempt!

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
"dll rilcdma.dll"
This is what is preventing the boot-up, I believe.
Any HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn that are unable to load will cause the phone not to boot up.
I am sure this says "dll rilgsm.dll" on the BA. We need to change this to "rilcdma.dll" and copy over the .dll from the 2.04 ROM.
Then dump the ROM and load it on the Harrier, this should hopefully get it booting, if there are not any other bad device drivers.
We also need to make sure this is based off the new patched ROM that mamaich made...
Well here is the rilcdma.dll from my 2.04 ROM:
Wow, you guys rock. It sounds like after some work that it will be possible. I just wish I knew how to help... I do have several devices to test on but I have no rom building experience...
Can't we just hex edit the information of WM2005 dump file? using a hexeditor, but then we would need to copy the file, I'm actually thinking that the rilcdma.dll file might be included already, I remember ones flashing my device with a 2003Se rom, and finding the rilgsm.dll file and my phone was working properly? maybe it's generic to include both the files?
either way we would need to get someone with a gsm phone to do those changes, and copy that file, dump the file, and then we'd need to try them on our devices?
ANY GSM users outhere wanna help?
Bump.
Glad to here people that know what they're doing are working on this.
Hopefully the thread topic won't scare off EVERY GSM user.
Course... they're all too busy playing with the new OS to notice us
Bump
I think it will be a while, if at all, that there will be a CDMA version.
Most of the developers are using the GSM version and thus have no way of testing the CDMA one. Additionally the GSM version is not working perfectly yet, so this will add to the time that it takes. I think we will see a CDMA universal before we see WM5 for the Harrier
*Bump*
The 6700 is out through Sprint! Maybe we'll be able to rip the necessary CDMA files from it? http://www.sprint.com/business/products/phones/ppc6700_allPcsPhones.jsp
Holy crap! Somone "check" one out in a store and grab the ROM with an sd card...
They're only available through business channels right now and should ship next week according to those that have ordered. They were also told that consumer channels should be able to order next week sometime, but no word on when they might start popping up in the stores. Remember, this ROM won't directly copy to our devices, but we might be able to get the necessary files off of it to get WM5 working on our Harriers. It's another step in the right direction at least.
Bump again, lol....
Apache ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=157140
Well, I'm no expert, and I have no equipment, no software, and no skills, lol. So I can't help much here. But I do applaud the effort and wish there were some way I could contribute.
Anyway, I would imagine that if you take the ROM from an Apache (Sprint PPC-6700) and compare it to the ROM of a Wizard, whatever the differences are is probably exactly what the differences between the Harrier and Blue Angel ROMS need to be (for WM5 to be functional on both).
Just a thought...
all you people out there waiting for this to happen should probably check out this thread... looks like good news

Hi...anyone can comment on this subject objectively.
I'm toying with the idea of putting together a ROM for my iPAQ h5550 with WM5. This is an excellent piece of hardware that HP decided to dump & moved on to other models.
Those of you who have managed to upgrade your devices to WM5, please advice me on the following:
What do I need to start with? I've the iPAQ h5550.
Is the hardware compatible? I read from some reviews that generally all X-Scale CPUs are acceptable. My unit has 128Mb RAM & 40 Mb ROM.
What software tools are relevant for this project?
Which ROM can I use as a base for the OS?
How do I get the drivers for the hardware to work in WM5?
That's all i can think of so far...would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction...
Thanks!
the simple truth: No. There is no WM5 Rom Upgrade for this device. And i think it's absolutely impossible to build your own WM5...
TRY, IT WORKS
Want to try WM5.0 out for your self? I originally posted this on ipaqhq.com but I figured this forum is more of a target for such information . ...

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.
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

thank you for ur respond.
i understand. thank you for explaining.
There any rom compatible with LG MS20(a brazillian version of KS20 without 3G, WIFI and front camera) the others specifications like processor is the same Qualcomm MSM7200 400Mhz, 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, the frequency is the same too, But i don't know if a can install the KS20 ROM, if i try may i can brick my phone?Or there a way to i extract my rom to you modify?
You can use any rom from KS20, it's the same phone, with the 'same' hardware.
PS: processor is not the same one. MS20/MS25 use MSM7200 250mhz, and KS20 use the same MSM7200 but its 400mhz.
But, if don't work, i can go back and reflash the original rom?
Sorry for the double post
Ok, i found the engineer menu, the ROM Version is V10a, and i wanna try upgrade, make a tutorial(if possible in portuguese) to upgrade the phone without lost the nv2, imei number, i am newbie on flashing wm phones, so please make a detailed tutorial to all people of Brazil. And the KS20 WM6.5 rom works perfectly on MS20?
Sorry, but anyone can do a tutorial to install the windows mobile 6.5 in the MS20/KS20.
