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

hi i have a 4150 with wm2003. i downloaded the file from ur site and i want to know if i can update my device??
10x.
it can if somebody at hp or ms compile it to that platform and leak it
like happent with the 2005 for xda2's
roms unlike normal windows only have the specific drivers required by the device and if the hardware is not 100% the same then the rom dont work
kinda like trying to install macOSX on a 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
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.
Hello Every1 !!!
I have been trying to mod some ROMs for my device(o2 stealth), but i've lost hope.....
i know that it is a hybrid device manufactured by GigaByte Communications....But i beleive that the basics would b the same for cooking a ROM for this device....
The main part is that the official update for stealth provides only WM5. But i dont want to restrict the capabilities of such a lovely device to WM5....
TECHNICAL PART:
Actually the ROM file(original update) used to flash the device is with the extension .nb0 .
I have been using different tools to split it into .nb files...But no success....
I even tried to split it manually using a hex editor and searching for specific bits....But its all crap....
I was unable to locate the correct offsets of the different parts....
Some members on this forum like yuc have been successful in upgrading the device with wm6. I dont know how they did it. But the problem is that the ROM still has many bugs.
I would like some senior to throw light on my problem and find me some help to it.......Thank You
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!
bye,
Thilo
