Upgrading Ipaq's - Information Needed - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi there. Allow me to start off with I AM A NEWB. LoL
I stumbled onto this site after doing hours of research on the net. Long story short, I have 3 HP Ipaq's. Mine, wife's, and son's. 1 runs Windows CD 2003, the other 2 run Windows CE 2002. I would like to find out how to upgrade the OS's on these mainly because Windows Media player on them is very dated, and is difficult to use as a MP3 player.
The following are the model #'s:
1. HP Ipaq h2200
Rom Revision: 1.11.01 ENG
OS Version: Windows CE 4.20
2. HP Ipaq H3900
Rom Revision: 1.00.00 ENG
OS Version: Windows CE 3.0
3. HP Ipaq h5450
Rom Revision: 1.11.19 ENG
OS Version: Windows CE 3.0
I realize these are older Ipaq's, but they all still work perfectly fine for our needs. I would like to possibly update them to Windows Mobile 5.0, or do I want to do that? Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if I just learn.
Thanks

Hi there,
It is along time I wrote this but no one has answered.
Is that means there is no answer or what?
With my deep thanx
It's unlikely without an original ROM update by the manufacturer.
However, what model etc is it? Do you have a webpage we can look at to get info about it.

It is like this one
Hi there,
In this website u can c what my Medion it look like.
https://www.medionshop.co.uk/?areaI...000000A00004A410A4F713EAE6B87E10000000A00004B
It runs Windows CE net 4.2 .
With my deep thanx
The King - the website you point to indicates it's running
"Microsoft Windows Mobile(TM) 2003".
Are you sure it's running .net? Could you post a screenshot?
As I said before, it's unlikely to be upgradeable without a full rom update from Medion - my father has a medion GPS PDA, and that's running WM2003. Maybe you could grab a rom from another wm2003 Medion and try patching it together, but unlikely!

how to downgrade rom at mda charmer tmobile qtek s110

hello!
i'm reading threw the forum since 10am 8 hours now and i didn't found how to solve my problem. (excuse my english when it is not good)
i have following configurations: (2 PDAs) from T-Mobile Austria Qtek 110? S110? On the box stands MDA compact II
1. PDA
ROM version: 1.12.2.23 WWE
ROM date: 11/14/05
Radio version: 01.12.20
Protocol version: 4.0.13.23
ExtROM version: 1.12.02.110
MS Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.70(Build 14409.1.1.2)
MIDletManager from Tao Group Limited
Runtime JTWI 1.0: v10.1.7.658 (Build 20051014)
2. PDA
ROM version: 2.6.2.27 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: 2.6.2.110
MS Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.195(Build 14847.2.0.0)
MIDletManager from Tao Group Limited
Runtime JTWI 1.0: v10.1.7.666 (Build 20051117)
I explane you my problem and why i need your help:
I have a software running in the MIDletManager which is running without any problems on the 1. PDA.
When I trie the software on the new 2. PDA the program works, but it does not work like at the 1. PDA (the program is graphically personated in a other way, and the MIDletManager has a other look and a other way in which he works).
That is my problem because the software has to look, work and run like on the 1. PDA
Is there a way to downgrade the MIDletManager? Or do i have to downgrade the 2. PDA? How can i downgrade the PDA? Which programs do i need? How do i flash the ROM if i want to downgrade? Is it possible to downgrade? questions questions questins
I already called and asked @T-Mobile but they have no solution for my problem and cann't help me!!!
I count on you *HELP*
thank you
There might be a quick and dirty way of solving your problem. If you had spent enough time on this matter, you ought to know which files are responsible for the Midlet (or you can do a research now).
Get these files from PDA1 and copy it them into PDA2, it should write on the storage memory. When WM5 sees a copy of a file with the same name, same location, it will execute the one in storage memory instead of the one in the ROM.

About to give up on WM6 for hx2410

Hi all,
I have a hx2410, which after a few attempts at getting to WM6, I have flashed back to:
Product Revision Level: 1.0
ROM Date: 06/10/05
ROM Revision: 1.10.09 ENG
OS Version: Win CE 4.21
Bootstrap: 1.00.02
Bootloader: 1.10.09
XIP: 4.21.15045.0
Can someone please tell me the sequence (including HP service pack numbers eg SPxxxxx and WM6.rar etc) and bootloader method(s) (blue/white) for each of those that I need to get to WM6 (at the moment, I couldnt care less which WM6 as long as it works).
Sorry to be a pain, but have come to wits end trying to get this to work.

WM6.1 for WM2003SE device?

I have a Magician, for which no leaked WM5/6 has ever been found. WM2003SE is the newest OS for this device.
I'm not new to cooking ROMs, porting XIPs, or OS, but converting a WM5 device to WM6.1 is cake compared to WM2003SE! Very much is so different!
It was previously my understanding that there are 2 main barriers:
1. Bootloader must be WM5 compatible.
2. XIP will need to be built with a new kernel.
Since WM5/6 are built on Windows CE 5.0 while WM2003SE is built on Windows CE 4.2, would all the info on Microsoft.com that talks about migrating from CE 4.2 to 5.0 apply to WM2003SE to WM6.1 as well?
For instance, their site says a CE 4.2 bootloader should work with CE 5.0. Would that mean the bootloader doesn't need to be changed for WM2003SE to 6.1?
Also, the kernel is completely different. Would it be theoretically possible to use Platform Builder to create a new CE 5.0 kernel using OEMInit from the old kernel?
Basically, is Platform Builder the correct tool for migrating all the device-specific files in the XIP?

HTC 8925 Tilt WM 6.5 Upgrade Help...oh and I'll paypal $10 to you if it works...

To be blunt thins is kind of Greek to me and I have tried to search the forum and haven't had much luck. Can someone please put it to me in plain English.
I would like to upgrade my AT&T Tilt to WM 6.5. I flashed the ROM with the HTC most current version. So I am familiar with that and I do have some IT experience behind me. But can someone tell me what I need or where I can get the file(s) to upgrade this thing to WM 6.5??? Please??
Currently on the device:
R 1.65.21.18
G 25.88.40.05H
D 3.57.00.00
WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2.19214 (Build 19214.1.0.1)
Processor MSM7201-400MHZ
Memory 85.57
Thanks
See this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
Before attempting to flash your device yo should read here Flashing your Kaiser for first time for Noobs!
I hope that helps, good luck!
OK not to sound totally off the wall but I just flashed my tilt.
At the present in device information:
Rom Version 3.57.502.2 WWE
Rom Date: 07/17/08
Radio Version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol Version: 25.88.40.05H
So it appears that my rom is now updated. In browsing threads I see a lot of customizations.
It appears that I have to update my radio in order to upgrade this to WM 6.5.
Would any of you know a link with a basic WM 6.5 upgrade without too many deviations from the 6.1 interface?
I think that I found a thread that has this but am not certain.
Basically I am just looking for a link to upgrade this thing to a plain English USA WM 6.5 revision. Is it possible.
And I may up the ante to $20 .. not a lot but if you were me it would be like $1,000,000 USD.
