Umm...there's this user named Mikey1022 who has both of the Windows Mobile ROMs you're looking for in his signature. Just search for him. He should have posts scattered throughout the Excalibur forum. **DISCLAIMER** Beware attempting to use Windows Mobile 6.1 from this forum. It's a "cooked" ROM (meaning it was developed by an amateur developer and not Microsoft). Installing (or 'flashing' as we call it) is a bit trickier with cooked ROMs. There are, however, numerous threads which have detailed instructions on how to flash the 6.1 ROM. Microsoft has released an official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM to the public, but the Dash/Excalibur has yet to receive it (which is one of the reasons why we've been using the cooked version).
am i the only one that gets irritated when someone comes on here to ask a question like this when the answer is literaly the next post down?
let me guess. your next questions is "can you make me a step by step of flashing wm6.1 so i dont brick my new phone?"
No you're not!
Take a look at my last comment on this page
Can you tell, it is getting stupid and aggravating

Hi!
I have a Softbank (HTC Tytn) with Windows mobile 5 in Japonese.
But I'd like to upgrade this OS to Windows mobile 6 in English.
Where can I download the Windows mobile 6? And how can I install this OS?

Please read, then post in the appropriate section. Did I mention to read first?
Anyhow, start here. (these instructions will allow you to install Windows Mobile 6 on your device)
Then go here to learn about all the different versions of Windows Mobile 6.
IMPORTANT: DON'T ASK WHICH VERSION IS THE BEST. READ WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THEM IN THEIR RESPECTIVE THREADS AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.
Be sure to read all you can in the Hermes forums so that you don't accidently "brick" or destroy your phone. The processes to upgrade are quite easy, but you must follow all the instructions given very carefully.
Check out the WIKI too. It has a wealth of info for you and your device.
Have fun and read, read, read!
P.S. Thread moved.

and then read some more. TyTn's are not cheap, if you don't want to have to shell out big bucks for a new one, or for a repair by HTC make sure you've read most of the threads on here about upgrading. Don't use the built in search, it's not very good, use a google search with "site:xda-developers.com".
Also, mrvanx's guides (google for mrvanx, first result) are good for newbies (it's what I used for my first flash) and takes you through HardSPL install (to act as insurance against bad flashes bricking your device).
Finally, if you don't want to bother reading then my only advice is to not risk upgrading and enjoy being stuck with a WM5 Japanese device

Im new to this arena and im looking to upgrade my X50 (Pocket PC 2003)i would like to do WM6 but i dont know if its possible. It seems like all of the successful flashes occur with the VGA versions. Can i flash my X50 with it, and the same question goes for WM5. I cant find any rom that has the standard X50 in the title. I dont want to brick it so im being alittle careful. Can someone point me in the right direction?

It's great that you're being careful! You have to be one of the smartest X50 users I've seen lately in this forum! Currently, the only WM5 and WM6 ROMs in this forum that I'm aware of are for the VGA Axims only. Those would be the X50v and X51v. You cannot flash either of the X50v ROMs to your X50, unfortunately. You will end up with a brick as many X50 users have found out the hard way. Yes, some have recovered successfully, but it's definitely not a good thing for your blood pressure/stress level. I wish I had some better news for you, but that's about all I can tell you. You probably already have done this, but a quick search or two in these forums will probably confirm (or disprove) my answer. Perhaps an X50 user somewhere along the way will come up with a ROM for X50s.
so how would i go about creating a rom for wm5 for my x50?

Start researching...
Honestly, I have not created a ROM before. I know how to do some basic ROM stuff, but I don't know how to build/modify one to create a working one for another device. There are lots of helps in these forums if you take the time to find them. Obviously, making a working ROM is a lot of work and something that should not be taken lightly. There are lots of different ways to brick a device by poorly building a ROM. However, if you're really serious about it, I'm sure you will have the drive to do your research and find answers. Some more experienced ROM creators who have experience with Axim devices are Football and MagLite_RUS. They might be able to give you some direction. Good luck.

I have a ROM with windows mobile 6.1
i want to put in it windows mobile 6.5
where can i find the files. and then how (I'm looking guides, but nothing that tells me this)
please help me
Windows Mobile is an operating system cooked in a ROM. In this Diamond forum you'll find WinMo 6.1 and WinMo 6.5 ROM's. You can install, delete or update all kinds of applications on your device. But there is no WinMo 6.5 'application' and you can't install it on a WinMo 6.1 ROM. It doesn't work like that. Either you flash an existing WinMo 6.5 ROM or you learn how to cook and flash your own.

Hey Guys i just got tp2 , however i dont know quite alot about windows mobile as i was a symbian user
I have a series of questions that i hope can find an answer
As we all know tp2 comes with windows mobile 6.1 and i have seen several leeks of 6.5 provided by XDA , my question is as follow can i install it normally and download it directly to my phone ?? or is their another way to get windows 6.5 to My tp2?
Second question is i really wanna know whats the benefits of doing Hard SPL , and whats the benefits of roms like energy rom? do they replace touch flo or something or the whole windows mobile? if anyone would just give me an insight to why one would want to use Hard SPL and constantly get new roms
Third: it also mentions with energy rom that it is windows 6.5 does this mean i must have windows 6.5 leaked version installed? or energy rom installs windows 6.5 by default to my phone?
Finally if i did install those roms could i download default windows applications like say coreplayer for example? or that wont be allowed ??
Thanks in advance and i hope my questions could find an answer!

to install any custom rom on your device, you need to have hardspl on your device. hardspl allows you to install these custom roms otherwise you would get an error and nothing would happen. the benefit is that these roms are tweaked and dont come with all the bloat ware that your cell providers cram a phones with. you must read the instructions though as you can damage your phone to the point of it not working anymore. as for apps, if they are built for windows mobile 5.0 and up, chances are that they will work, although some apps dont run at 800x480 resolution. some apps require .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5. you can download that through microsoft. and as far as windows version, that gets installed with the rom. so if it says 6.1 in the discription then you will be running 6.1 and so on. by installing these roms, you get an experience tailored more to your need instead of what a company puts out for everyone.
hope this helps

To answer your third questions...energy rom will install windows mobile 6.5 on your phone while it loads. There is no other steps necessary. (Besides Hard spl'ing first)
To answer your last question...Yes, you will be able to install coreplayer. You should be able to install any win mob program for that matter.
Hello! Everyone,
I am desperately need some help. It's almost six months since I read about flashing custom roms and until now I can't find the courage to do it. For I don't muster enough knowledge (I think) in doing it.
I have an HTC Universal running in wm5. I want to flash it into wm 6.5. Is there some body who can forward me the suitable ROM and help me in the process of upgrading it? I really want to flash it to WM 6.5 so I can install cool looking GUI of e book reader in my device and some more eye candy stuffs.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Have a look on my signature link, you´ll find all you need to upgrade.
Hello, Orb!
Hello! Orb,
It would really help me if you can point out what are the preliminary things I need to do than saying click your signature.
That is really what you did last time I ask about how to upgrade my Unit. Until now It gave me no confidence because I don't know where will I begin. I hope you can re consider helping me out. Thanks!
read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
I can tell you that the only way you´ll get to flash is to read a lot, we all started same as you, first of all loose the fear, if you follow the instructions all will be fine.
Said that you need to read my signature link, try looking in there for:
Instruction Guide For The Htc Universal Rom Upgrading
It was not so hard, isn't´it?
Good luck,
At least tell me the benefits of flashing ROM? Why will I flash my Device from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6?
Thank you so much!
More than benefits it´s an addiction for some of us
And of course you also have benefits, better, newer versions and so on
Nothing else I can´t say if you don´t flash
Good luck!
Hello! Orb,
I hope everything is fine at your end.
Regarding the upgrading/flashing of my device. What are the things that one could get if he/she flashed her device? In other words why would someone wants to upgrade his/her device?
What I mean by this question is, is there any reason why would a dopod 900 user like me would want to upgrade from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6.1? What are the things that I can do if I will upgrade?
Yes I think there would be some nice applications that can only be installed in Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5 however, if I just install a program that would do a make over of my GUI, SPB mobile shell for instance, everything will be like the same even if it has different Versions of Windows Mobile for I am using the same alternative shell for my device as a GUI.
Any insights? or word of wisdom that could enlightened me? Thank you so much!
