who knows if i can upgrade my windows on my h5550? i have now wm 3
bump . i really need new windows: )
There are no ROM upgrades for your device.
oh..and they can't be made? its too old
There are two ways ROM upgrades are made:
1) The company that made your device is very nice so they go to MS, get new license then put in the work to create and official update.
2) When there is a great interest in a device and some leaked information hackers get around and reverse engineer the bootloader and ROM encryption to create cooking tools.
Unfortunately both options do not look likely for your phone.

hi guys
i understand the wm2005 released here is the beta ver.
googling seems to suggest the final should have been released already.
do we have the final available on the forum anywhere?
cheers

There is not and probably will not be an "official" release for the Blueangel. Our copy is being worked on by mamaich and buzz and others,and has come a long way since it's early version. It is almost de-bugged and works well. I would not hold my breath waiting for a "finished" release....it's probably not coming.
Later....... 8)

i dont mean an official version, but more like a rom dump off a ppc which is sold with wm2005 final.
or are they not making a final? or is what we've got thy final?
PPCs and their software are so much together that you can't really take a ROM dump from another unit and get it to work on a BA. Bits and pieces have been taken out from the Himalaya, but a full ROM can't be used.
All WM (2002, 2003, 2003SE, 5 etc) are compiled SPECIFICALLY for each device which includes drivers ONLY for that particular device and the ROM contains a large number of XIP modules (eXecute In Place) which can only run at a specified memory address (Think back to when you could only compile code that did not have relocatable code addressing...)
If you can manage to remove a module from one version of WM5 the chances are:
1) It is incompatible with the device you are trying to move it to (Hardware is different / at different memory locations)
2) The module will be loaded at the wrong memory location causing it to fail when executed.
So although the base WM5 might be the same code wise the above problems will prevent moving the vast majority of items between devices using simple file transfer - we need the original code, compilers and device drivers to be able to create our own - very, very unlikely!!!
Is it possible to upgrade Royaltek Empus RTW-1000 http://www.royaltek.com/index.php/content/view/93/5/ to windows mobile 2005???????????
No.
To be able to update the OS on a Windows Mobile device the OEM must provide a ROM image specific for that device.
Since there is no update offered on the OEM site, we must assume it does not exist.
sorry...double post
Hi I found this official ROM for this device:
http://www.mobiltelefonok.hu/aa/rtw1000_rom_upgrade.html
I searched a little (No actual knowledge and skills in anything that has to do with roms )and it looks like an Eten ROM.Can anyone help with ANYTHING that could give a little update update to this low end device?(WM 2003 Ozone). Even 2003se looks like a big update to me now...
Gurus,
I am a newbie and want to find out any possibility to upgrade mobile crossing waypoint pdas to WM6. Since I can not find any similar WM6 ROM as a base ROM, I want to combine the original bootloader in WM 2003 with Microsoft Standard ROM to try out.
Could someone here provide any guideline and introduce some tools that might be useful?
Thanks
the so called ms stadart rom cant be run on any device
it lack all drivers which have to be made and provided to it
with wm5 the driver model was changed meaning that wm2003 based
drivers dont really work
which is the reason why many devices never move from 2003SE
the tool used to add the drivers to the base os is called platform builder
and is only legal for people to have if ms gave it to them
people like htc hp and the likes
Thanks, Rudegar .
So chances for WM6 seem remote. Since what I really want is more memory for programs, I can still move some files from 2003 ROM to storage card.
Will the tools in wiki.xda-developers.com work for waypoint?
Will Tools for HTC chips work for waypoint?
Mainly, I want to remove some files and let the PDA has more memory for programs.
Thanks
I´m having a small problem: I use a cooked ROM but some friends don´t and sometimes, when they have a question I get into trouble, because their ROM looks different and some settings are in different places.
So my tought is: why not use an emulator so that I can see their ROM on the pc and can then give hints far quicker and without the need to my hands on that
I´ve searched quite a while but found nothing regarding this matter. All I´ve seen is the MS device emulator but I don´t know if that loads different ROMs than the ones that come from MS.
Therefor my question is: does anyone know of a ROM emulator for a pc?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I used this and also the Microsoft Developer Studio platform contains built in emulators, but there is no (easy) way you will be able to emulate Diamond or other ROMs in it - the hardware phones are generic devices. There are images for WM6 and 6.1 also. It's great fun installing TomTom etc and testing that sort of thing on your PC, but custom ROMs...not likely.
The MS Studio WM6.1 images are in a .msi file which is a 280Mb download.
Check this and the links at the bottow:

However, I'm 99% sure one of their emulators hosed my PC totally (Probably the CE 5 one). Not sure what or how it happened but a key file (related to the emulator) got corrupted and trashed XP.....ordinarlily I'd have laughed at that suggestion - except I had to rebuild my PC as a result.
Ok, so I´ll do a complete backup (image) first .
I´ll try your suggested MS software product tomorrow. Of course I don´t want to be able to simulate the gyro sensors, the build-in gps functionality and so on.
It would suit me just to be able to simulate e.g. the original t-mobile ROM or the original HTC ROM.
I´ll check what can be done in that direction.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi, new at this, I got given a HTC touch that is running windows mobile in norwegen or something. Would like to put on a new os, WM6 or later, or even try some of the after market os's but I need a bit of a guide and lack the termonology to figuire out half of what's on this site.
Got told I need to do some basic hacking and flashing of roms or something because the os language is harder to change then a setting in the OS itself, I don't need to back up any of the stuff so just a guid and perhaps a few deffinitions for some of the words/terms used would be really helpful. Allong with links to what ever software utilities I would need to make the update/change. Currently I'm working on a desktop with vista 64 and another with vista 32 so as long as the utilities work on either of those platforms I can use them.
Thanks in advance for any help/links any of you give me.
