HP iPAQ hx4700 and Crossbow

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

?
I havent heard anything as of yet hoepfully there will be a WM6 ROM Soon on the HX4700.

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.

Please Help... I'm very new to this and I need clarifications.

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.

yes, its real WM6.1 rom but rom build number not right

i´ve didnt seen any pictures of wm 6.1... only draws(no real pics)
this one http://www.pdaviet.net/showthread.php?t=20389 is a fake... and this one http://images.google.de/imgres?imgu...rev=/images?q=wm+6.1&svnum=10&um=1&hl=de&sa=N
is only a vodafone-skin...so there are no real pics...only tom can post us some pictures

It's real!! I've tried!! It's clean and fast. I think it is faster than B&B 4.3~~

@kunkun0217
please make some good screenshots, with new features.

any links to download it?

The second picture is just Windows Vista's Mobile Center Version 6.1. Nothing special about it.

Is it also available for the Artemis?

If there really is a 6.1 rom out there, then why is the Radio rom so old. Look at the pictures.
I think it's fake, but what do I know, right?
EDIT: Guess not fake

WM2003SE English clean ROM for HX4700

Hi All,
Searched the forum but did not find an answer, so here's a new post:
Does anyone know where I can find an English WM2003SE ROM for the H4700 which is clean (meaning most games/software removed) so we get maximum memory?
Thanks in advance!

2003？You are so great，but i think not many guys use 2003 now，haha，including myself

Using wm6.1 now, but asked for wm2003se because if wm6.1 will not run OK then i'd like wm2300se ROM with little tools installed

I use wm6.1 on my hx4700, recently installed tomtom in my uncles 2003SE ipaq... It run MUCH FASTER on 2003SE than on my wm6.1. MUCH FASTER.
I only want things to work, and work fast, so I would give a try again to 2003SE or if I find an 6.1 very clean with the minimum necesary to run.
I don't think we should throw away 2003se yet

Download your 2003SE ROM from HP

Asus A696 Upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5

Hey,
I tried to upgrade my Asus A696 to a new version but no luck (i'm not that good at this kind of stuff), so my question is if there's a way to upgrade it at least to WM 6.1, or 6.5 using a different ROM version or something like that.
I would appreciate if the following answers would be from people who tried this before.
PS: If there are links (here) where i can find steps to upgrade, i would be grateful if you point them out.
Regards

I'd like to do this as well. I second the request for help and I'd very much like to know if you are able to do this .
Thanks very much,
PM

I sign for that too - I would to install WM6.5

It will be soon, I have working version wm6.1 PLK (21109), but it's just my second build. I don't have this device, so I can't do it quickly.

WM6.5 on a non-phone device, that's a big mistake.

I hear you - 6.1 though would be cool for sure
Thanks a lot,

I would like it to

I have working wm6.1 PLK kitchen, but WWE kitchen is not checked yet. I don't have this device.
I can upload it, if you want.

It's not a mistake. For example WM6.5 on HP iPAQ hx2000 series runs much faster then WM6.1
I would suggest You to go for WM6.5

that's my opinion, I don't like chome, honeycomb, new big menus, manila and other kind of sh%t.
But if you like it, you can use it. I don't prohibit it

any news about it? I would like to install 6.1 or 6.5 also on my a696

Was amazed to find a ASUS P527 6.5 upgrade on here the other day, being able to upgrade the A696 would be awesome as well .
So if there is anyone listening out there, please, please
Thanks,
Peter

here is kitchen for A626/A686/A696, PLK language. I don't have enough time and device to make working wwe version.

Thanks for your reply, I downloaded and took a look - but I've never done anything like this before, I don't know where to begin. The fact that anything I make with this would be Polish (?) - I'm out of my league. Maybe I'll see if I can figure out the P527 where they do have a World Wide English version already and see what can be done with that.
The P527 has a bunch of ways to upgrade through USB and microSD even if the main process fails - I have no idea if there is such a method for the A696 though. If a flash fails, that could be it... and that's a little bit daunting for a first timer...
Thanks,
Peter

you can make image backup first.

upgrade is simply, by usbloader.
1. Disable usb connections in async
2. plug usb cable to pda
3. reset pda with center dpad button pressed.
4. USB Download mode screen will appear
5. Click "Upload ROM!" in kitchen.

can anybody please create and upload the wwe version? It's just that I don't understand Polish so the PLK is completely useless to me (and I guess others)

globalbus, can you please at least try? I can test the ROMS if you want

Yes, I can try, but not so fast.

Well, I am subscribed to this thread so just tell me when you have something ready. I will be waiting

I too would like a WWE version of a 6.1 or 6.5 ROM for the Asus 6x6 series devices... I would be willing to do some testing as well. I would also be willing to make a donation to whomever gets a 6.5 ROM working.
