Hi, I tried searching for this but couldn't find a good answer.
I have a XDA Atom Life that is already upgraded with the official O2 WM6 rom. I've also found a lot of other nice WM6 roms on the site that are WM6 but without Radio/IPL/SPL upgrades. Could I use these roms on my O2 Wm6 Atom Life?
For example, I found the Black 3.01 WM6 rom for Hermes to be quite attractive. Could I use it?
Thank you in advance!
roms are hardcoded to hardware and only include the drivers needed to boot
transfering roms result in wrong drivers or missing drivers causing devices to not boot and at times turning them into expensive bricks
Ahhhhhhh! Ok.. just needed clarification! thank you

Hi there,
Since Crossbow is running perfectly on my Universal, I wanted to give another model a try, so anyone ever succeeded in having the iPAQ hx4700 running Crossbow?
I know it might be a bit dangerous, but I already tried to put the hx4700 in the bootloader and to flash a HTC Universal Crossbow ROM.
It actually starts upgrading, but after a few %'s the screen turns blank and with a soft reset the device will restart.
Something to forget or is there a way?
i m currently doing some rom cooking for my 4700...
working out the wm6!
Great!!
I'd say: please share when you've something done.
i cant find anything similar to initflashfiles.dat

Is this a ROM for the hx4700?
If it isn't this is no new leaked ROM. It's one of the first WM6 ROM's for the HTC Universal. Many other have already been released after this one.
thats not for 4700
but i m trying to do sth with it
hope u guys will develop a great rom for his GrEAT device too
however i m improving the speed of wm5
like editing paging pool and removing some rubbish
added some wm6 rings into the rom and stuff.

Any progress made on a Crossbow ROM for hx4700?
I'm really interested on some new ROM for the hx4700. It has not been beaten yet in terms of speed and screen size! Why not WM6 on it??
I already found a few ROM's, but i'm hoping too, that the hx4700 community will pick this up as well as the HTC one ...
Bart

A Modded WM5 version
I hope somebody does get a WM6 rom working for the hx4700. It's time for a step up from the unstable modded WM5s with a pretty WM6 theme.
Hello everyone...
i just bought an i-mate JAMin yesterday, so im new to windows mobile.
Its OS is (from what im reading from the "about" in the system settings):
Microsoft windows mobile version 5.0
OS 5.1.196 (build 14847.2.0.0) etc...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now i was just wondering (from what i'm reading in this forum), if my WM5 can be upgraded to WM6 ??? just like the one im reading about in this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6/default.mspx
im sure that i have a HTC phone since when i turn on my imate i get "HTC" with a white background...
======
As a quick summary, i have 2 questions:
1. After installing XDA_Exec_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship.zip , will my WM5 become WM6 ("WM6 OS 5.2.318 (Built 15341.0.0.0)")????? just like the one on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6/default.mspx
2. What are the terms "crossbow", "universal"? do i need to know those terms before upgrading my i-mate?
Thank you a lot in advance... and thanks a lot helmi_c
sorry if i sound dumb but im really overwhelmed
anyone ?
hello? sry if im being a pain... but im very anxious

1st: You mentioned IMate Jam? This is a HTC UNIVERSAL thread otherwise known as O2 Executive, MDA TMobile PRO, QTEK 9000, IMate JASJAR, etc... I don't know what an IMate JAM is. So I am concluding you are on the wrong page.
2nd: On the first question you posted, YES that link is WM6 or CROSSBOW for the HTC UNIVERSAL. So, I am assuming you are using a different phone since the name you posted is IMate JAM. DON'T INTERCHANGE THEIR NAMES, AS YOU CAN SERIOUSLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
3rd: The term you mentioned HTC UNIVERSAL is the generic name. O2 Executive, MDA TMobile PRO, QTEK 9000, IMate JASJAR, etc... are brand names. CROSSBOW is the same as Windows Mobile 6.
umm... actually its JAMIn... i-mate JAMIn...
are there other forums than Universal with ROM updates ? precisely for i-mate JAMIn ?
i'm really confused here... but are those ROMs replicas of an official WM6 upgrade from microsoft ? do the ROMs give the 'impression' that users have installed WM6 or are they true ones ? (after all , the version of helmi_c's ROM for example is WM6 OS 5.2.318 ... so its basically still version 5... right ?
btw from my "Device Information" in the system settings I read that my ROM version of my JAMIn is 2.13.9.23 WWE.... does that mean that if I install helmi_c's ROM (2.01.08 WWE) I'll be DOWNGRADING my ROM ? :S:S:S
thx in advance
Check your device and look for your proper forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php
You might seriously destroy your device if you use our ROM. I suggest you read more about your device on the proper forum.
These ROM's for the Universal are UNOFFICIAL release, but they are genuine Microsoft Crossbow ROMs made to run on our device.

Jeees... please don't be flashing your phone to this ROM, it's kinda important to know what phone you have before you go blindly flashing!

Hi
I am intrested in making my zinc WM6 ... but I couldnt find any in cooked rom for it. Just wondering is there any how to in making cooked rom? also where can i find the base WM6? Would be very grateful if anyone can share the know how ... eace:
for most devices cooking mean adding programs one wants in extented rom so they autoinstall
there is no such thing as a base rom all roms are unique to the device they were made for
thanks for the expalination ... if i want to make a rom for my zinc, how do i replace the existing WM5 rom to wm6 rom? and where can i find the wm6 rom? can i use the hermes wm6 rom i mean the posted wwe,cht, jp roms? as the base of the wm6 rom ? TQ
no only a custom zink wm6 rom if such a rom exist would do
ok ... but then again for others like wizard or hermes there r still no WM6 rom right? so how did do they come out with a WM6 rom?? thanks again
a beta test rom was leaked for some devices
like many of the wm5 roms for devices like himalaya and blue angel were leaked
but some devices will get official roms from htc believe hermes is one of those
Um, very interesting. Rudegar, seems like you know a lot about this ROM business. (myself, i'm unexperienced, but would like to know something). So, tell me:
I personally own a Dell Axim x50v WM5 A02, and while Dell would no longer provide any, since they just discontinued those models, i was searching for the custom upgrades.
So, do you need to have a leaked base WM6 ROM specifically designed to be run on an Axim, in order to built a WM6 Custom ROM for Dell Axim, or can you still make one from scratch, AND i mean use any leaked WM6 ROM (such as the one for the Hermes), and then rewrite some lines of code in order to adjust it to the different drivers installed on an Axim?
Some Russian guys from 4PDA made a WM5 AKU 3.5.2 custom upgrade for the Dell Axim by adjusting it to its drivers (they are experiencing some issues with them thou). While it is not WM6, do you need to have a leaked AKU or something for that device as well, or is it just for running an entirely different operating system on it? WM5 itself is a natural OS running on a Dell Axim x51v.
But they also claimed that they can make in the same way Wm6 upgrade for Dell Axim. Without the already leaked WM6 ROM for it, is it really possible?
in theroy i guess you can make it from scratch but it's suppose to be diff
read this for info about the topic in general
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296728&highlight=drivers+AMD+WM6
So, does upgarding just the AKU, which was never released for the device, requires the leaked version as a whole OS?
Hi experts,
I need to get official Wm6.1 rom for my spv m3100 (Orange).
I tried to search forum and wiki, but failed to get some required result.
I would really appreciate if anyone can find my desired rom.
In fact I have'nt dumped my original wm5 rom and loaded HARDSPL 7 and then flashed with other hermes roms one by one.
Thanks a lot
The last official upgrade for hermes was wm6
You will never found the 6.1 stock for hermes.
Thanks for the reply.
So officially, only WM 6 was released and WM 6.1 was built by people themselves?
And where can I find official WM 6 Rom for Hermes Orange (SPV M3100)
Thanks
Seek and you shall find!

Yeah there but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! be care..... dont dont flash a full original if your hermes is hardpsled... cause you will brick it.... i recomend you the stripped At&t, check the roms threads many of the chefs has a link to it.

Yes, I have HardSPL 7. But that's for preventing the Bricking.
Why original rom will brick a HardSPL installed phone?
I have been reading through this forum a lot and found many helpful hints, thank you very much.
But somehow I am missing one point: Why do the experts spend so much time on cooking a WM6.1 ROM for the i780 for example? In the end with partly doubtful results considering the quantity of reports about bugs and even bricked phones? Wouldn't it be much easyer and saver to extract and use the original factory 6.1 ROM from an already officially upgraded phone?
Did anybody extract the complete German 6.1 factory ROM (Phone, PDA,Boot) from a i780? I would be very greatful.
