HP iPaq RX59xx, any WM6 or 6.1 updates? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I've had this GPS for about a year, and am fairly driven up the wall by HP's refusal to upgrade this plenty capable system to WM6. I've been coming here for firmware updates for my Wizard for ages, so I figured gosh, maybe somebody here has or knows of someone who has hacked this sucker? If so, I'd love to find out and maybe get a little info.
If someone would be willing to give me a hand, I'd be willing to try and work through the process on my own 5910 to try and get it working with the newer software!
Thanks!

reluctant to install windows mobile 5 on blueangel

I have been reading up on the upgrades to blue angel and WM5. For some reason it does not give me a lot of confidence in taking the risk of upgrading the system.
I use the PDA for absolutely everything and dont want it to be a paper weight once im done with the upgrading.
Anyone else have this fear? Did you take the plunge to install it? Did everything work as normal?
Currently TOMTOM 5.1 is the most important software that I use on it. Although, the phone is equally important.
Oh by the way, anyone want tomtom 5.1, let me know, ill hook you up.
Hi
The WM2003->WM2005 and WM2005->WM2003 migration of 100% safe if you follow instructions carefully.
The current best WM2005 for BlueAgel is TuMa 1.3
It's excellent work, but still buggy (and much slower than WM2003).
I flashed to WM2005 and back several times (testing newest WM2005 relases).
I learned that some nice features of WM2005 are not worth all the disadvantages. It's getting better, but just not yet.
Have fun.
yeah, the wm5 is slower than a bit but have more features on it, look nicer...if you're satisfy with your old rom, just keep it then
I've used both versions of WM2005 (Himalaya port an Wizard port) and I just find it too slow when compared to WM2003SE. The BT on WM2005 was terrible which is a main reason I keep to 2003.
I think I can settle with the more "boring" look of 2003 for the sake of reliability.

CINGULAR to provide WM6 UPGRADES for 8525, BJ, Treo 750

We had a chance to peep an "eyes-only" presentation from AT&T with the dirty details on WM6 for current and future devices, with the newly-branded Cingular apparently poised to introduce patches for three of its hottest handsets. The word is that the Treo 750, 8525, and the Blackjack will see downloadable updates released for current owners, and that WM6 will be pre-installed on all devices launched in 2007. In a separate tip, our peeps tell us that the Blackjack update should be in Cingular's hot hands by May 26; with an expected eight week soak period for testing, this could hit by late July this year. We suppose that if the ROMs prove bulletproof, the cheering masses could theoretically get this update sooner, but until then we can only sit and wait. No word on timing for the other two devices, but we are seriously hoping that Blue has its ducks in a row and that they are on an similar schedule.

I don't really care cuz the best roms are from here but still. Apparently all our complaining has not fallen on deaf ears!

Yes, it seems that a couple of people have posted this news today. I guess it is good for the Cingular/AT&T people who do not want to upgrade to the current WM6 rom's here.
And maybe, someone here could use it as base rom once it is released.
At least they are going to upgrade some current devices.

Oops I'm sorry I'll ask the mods to lock.
No need to lock, you provided a different view...
I already have WM6 on my 8525 - Cingular needs to release it for my 3525 No but really this is great - this will at least if nothing else ensure we get an official RTM version that we can tinker with
we all knew it was coming -- but until we actually heard from somebody at Samsung or Cing, I couldn't post about it.. but after getting the roadmap yesterday and speaking to a samsung rep -- I just had to post it up
Good news, since the (fairly quiet) news about the updated base for WM6 cooked roms on here will be getting much much better, theyve been great since the first releases but this will help the chefs a hell of alot more.

Don't you know that we've been beta testing the new WM6 ROMs?
Those ROMs were intended to *leaked* for us to test and report errors so they can fix those errors before releasing to the rest of the consumers.
Well, mine runs great so hurry up and release it Cingular. Yes I'm talking to you.

ah its always good to be the bastard step children
does anyone happen to have the cingular wm6 rom that they cant share with me ??? if so discreetly pm me... i am looking for something in particular with this rom....
I had all but given up
I had put my Cingular 8125 in the corner of my office, and decided not to use it at all. I started using a Treo 750, and it was great, so I just stuck with it. Then I upgraded my 8125 to WM6 (LVSW Edition), and now it is finally usable. The 8125 would CONSTANTLY lock up on me with the "official" WM5 ROM, but with WM6 it is rock solid. I now wish someone would leak a Treo 750 WM6 ROM.

Wm6 on an Axim?

I know i talked about this earlier, and i`m well aware that there is not a single Wm6 Rom available for this kind of pdas. There is also almost no chances that manufactures would offer any WM6 upgrades to current pdas that do not have phone functionality, since the market is now moving cellar. So, could somebody, please make one? I personally own Dell Axim x50v running Wm5. (I know it requires huge amounts of work). But i don't see you guys having too much trouble making one for the Universal or Hermes. Is that really that much harder to develop roms for the classic pdas?
(i used my nintendo wii to type this.)
So, is there anyone out there who could answer my question???
Not going to happen. People don't hack WM6 to work on devices, they use leaked ROMs from manufacturers. Dell will not release WM6... ever.

Motorola mpx300 WM5 or WM6

i currently have a Wizard, and im happy with it, but i always had my eye on the motorla mpx 300 , because its such a rare phone, problem is its running PPC 2003 2nd edition, and i wish if someone COOKED or perhaps knows a place that offers one? its crucial, before i invest money into buying the phone
Is it still possibly to flash WM5 on MPX300? THanks!
I would be interested in this as well
Yes, I really like the design and function of MPX300 and still using it right now, even there's so many WM5/WM6 devices in the market now. Just one more step if someone can upgrade the MPX300 to run WM5, either software or hardware upgrade would made this phone prefect for me.
If I could find a Wm6 upgrade for this phone, I would start hunting one down today. That would be cool..... Never saw the phone before this post, very cool
wm5 anybody?
reviving this old thread...
i've heard of rumors, but never actually seen a wm5 for the little...
???
I found a post from someone that has gotten wm5 on the mpx300
Yahoo Id: coockie_monster26
AIM: CooCkieXP
Seems like a reputable source....
Find his post here:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=265391&highlight=mpx300
I'm trying to contact him for tips...
He replied the post in 2006, that's 2 years ago. Not sure if he still using MPX300. However, he is still an active member there. Hope he still have the WM5 files for MPX300.
hello all.
But Device like mpx300 have 32mb Ram so WM6 or later is not recomendet for this device its something like put wm6.1 to MPX200 working but very slow ;(
chears
However.... we just need of wm5.... that's much bettere than 2003se.

Quick question about T-Mobile TP2!

Every spec I look at for the T-Mobile TP2 it says it will have WM6.5 when it drops is that true? I looked at the spec for the other carriers for TP2 and they all say 6.1.
Just need someone who knows these things well to confirm because I read WM6.5 doesn't drop until this fall to around christmas time.
Thanks!
Someone has to know something!
It is WM6.5 Ready...
Most likely you will have to Buy the OS at additional cost.
The good old Orange day's where they did know what service was are over and done since T-Moblie acquired Orange.
But with a HardSPL (hopefully soon) who cares, just flash any ROM you like.
Why do I have to buy the OS if it comes with it?
It will launch (Aug 12th) with 6.1, but once MS releases 6.5 you will be able to upgrade to 6.5. What is unknown is whether T-mo will provide that update or if we are going to have to get the update from HTC. I highly doubt we will have to pay for it either. Kinda like when tmo provided an update to win mo 6.1. it was free.
T-Mobile Netherlands will provide the WM6.5 upgrade for free. It says so in my contract and manual. Too bad T-Mo is always way behind when HTC provides upgrades. On the other hand... i'm not welcoming 6.5 with open arms. I rather have a speedy 6.1 ROM for my Rhodium. 6.5 or HardSPL... i go for the latter.
Alright thanks for clearing that up. But I rather have WM6.5!!!
Question!
WindowsPhone is WM6.5 or WM7? Is their even a 7?
There is no WM7 yet, but there supposed to be one sometime in 2010!
Is their a release date for the official WM6.5? I saw a video on WM 6.5 where the guy said it will be released around Christmas time.
The guy was doing a demo on what looks like the final version of WM6.5 with the HTC Diamond 2 I think it was. Anyone seen that video? (He had his legs crossed through out the whole video with blue jeans.) Lol
I'm at work and I'm restricted to certain sites so youtube is a no no.
