Hi,
I have a Toshiba E800.
It runs with Windows Mobile 2003SE (Windows CE 4.21)
Is it possible to upgrade the OS?
Same question with me, it's quite long time i had my e800. and now every nice program has many incompatible with WM 2003...
some body has experience, please help
The short answer is NO. I have two bricked E800s. Sad, as they were great devices. Now the market is full of WM6.0 and now 6.1 devices. Time to buy new? Or wait a litlle bit longer for WM6.5 or even 7 devices?

I have an PPC with WPPC 2003 1st Edition. Can I upgrade to the WM2005? Can I use the instructions explained in the Himalaya section?
Thx @all Chris
Himalay ROMs are different from the Wallaby ROMs. So until now there is no WM2005 ROM available for the Wallaby --> No chance to upgrade....
HTH
Stefan
Thx that was fast
You said NOW there is no version?!?
What about Windows Mobile 5. It's out since last Friday. Is this different to the WM2005 Version? Cause it's mentioned that this new version is a common version for mostly all mobile devices?!?
Chris
Yeah, Windows Mobile 2005 is the same as Windows Mobile 5.0 (Magneto was it's codename).
And even though WM5.0 is "out" since Friday, that does not mean that it will be available to everyone and every device. Up until now, only Dell and HP have publicly announced it's plans to support SOME of it's high end devices, but not all of them.
And they say it's going to be a common OS for all Microsoft mobiles because WM5.0 apps will be compatible cross platform between Smartphones and Pocket PCs.
Hi,
I would need assistance - which ROM for WM6 to use for HP Ipaq 2200?
I am novice for this. Can anyone help me with this one finding the ROM for this built?
Where should I search for?
Thanks!
Can anyone suggest me where to search for WM6 for my PDA?
me 2 thnaks!!
If your refering to the OLD iPAQ 2210 series, I don't think WM6 fits in a 32MB ROM, which is what those pda's had. I used to have one of those and that is one of the reasons I upgraded. I wonder how much can you take out of WM6 to be able to reduce it's size by half...
This so far has worked on a my 2755 and another 2495. Not sure about earlier versions.

DO NOT FLASH THIS TO YOUR 2200 series. It IS NOT the correct firmware.
Further checking shows this is not for the 2200 series
HP iPAQ hx2110/hx2115/hx2190/hx2190b/hx2195/hx2195b/hx2410/hx2415/hx2490
hx2490b/hx2495/hx2495b/hx2750/hx2755/hx2790/hx2790b/hx2795/hx2795b
It will be nice to have iPAQ H2210 upgraded to WM6.
My H2210 has PPC 2003 ROM only not even 2003SE. It will be nice to have it upgraded to 2003SE if WM6 is not available. Can someone help?
so yes, or no?
NO! iPAQ H2200 series cannot be upgraded because it is too much of efforts and too little reward to build a WM5/6 ROM for this most easily broken (mostly grips and battery doors) amongst the iPAQs.
In my humble opinion: NO. The Windows Mobile 6 Operating System does not fit into a 32MB ROM. I remember back when 2003SE came out, we couldn't even upgrade to that because of the ROM size constraint. That said, I do still like the PDA a lot, specially the large bright screen and ergonomics.
yes, 2200 series have got a little ROM, but support CF cards! I have heard, that system can boot from a card, so if somebody can change it to boot from card, it will be great, and users of 2200 series can be happy with new WM!
Help me too ... hate the wm 2003
i bought an hp ipaq h2200 frm a friend, and thought ,and now i d like to flash a wm 5 or 6.x rom to it. I read through the above posts to understand i probably cannot. But if i can boot a different os from the mem cards, can i please know more about it?
please help ...
wm 2003 is stifling me
Have you guy read this:
Last week, Microsoft formally unveiled Windows Mobile 6.1, the latest version of its operating system for handhelds and smartphones.
Naturally, the owners of current devices are anxious to know if and when updates for their units will be released.
Unfortunately, there's bad news for users of HP's latest iPAQs. Responding to a question from Brighthand, Mike Hockey, Hewlett-Packard's Worldwide Public Relations Manager, said:
HP will not be offering an operating system upgrade for currently shipping HP iPAQ devices beyond what ships on the device today -- Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.
This decision comes after having evaluated the potential for delays in firmware and software updates, device recertification, and carry-over costs to our customers that are often associated with an operating system upgrade.
HP is committed to continuing its long-standing relationship with Microsoft and will deliver HP iPAQs with Windows Mobile 6.1 at a future date.

Anyone with 2xx cooking skills??

Just bought a HP 214, so I'd be very interested in the 6.1 upgrade.
It does not supprise me that HP have made this decision, they let us all down with the upgrade for the 4700 from 2003 to wm5, that in mind it will be better to have someone cook the rom than wait/trust HP to release a workable upgrade.
This just shows how committed HP is to their customers--they're not! I'm in the market for a new pocket pc and I was thinking about getting the HP 211, but I think I will just go with the dell axim X51v now.
Soo much for their so called "3 years Supports" ...
This is what i got.. 1 single version OS for the rest of your life.
multimedia on ipaq and dell.

Hi guys. I have a hp ipaq hx2750.
Since my parents won't buy me ipod touch or other stuff,
I bought the hp ipaq hx2750 from my dad. (yes from my dad)
It's so old I was on the verge of throwing it away, then I was
introduced to Windoes Mobile 6.5.
So here's my question. How do I update my hp ipaq hx2750 to
Windows Mobile 6.5? Can somebody post a pic by pic guide?
If I jack my ipaq up I won't get another for sure. Thanks for
your help and time guys.
Also need some upgrading guidance.
Hello Guys,
I want to use TOM TOM 7 on my iPAQ HX2750 and since it doesn't work at present, I think upgrading from Win CE 4.21 to WM 5 or 6 might solve the problem. So,
1. Which is best? WM 5, 6.1, 6.5??
From other posts, there seem to be issues with upgrading such that codecs, rom, etc. need to be upgraded too.
2. Will I have to update additional software components in order to sucessfully install the new operating system?
3. Which components will I need?
Hope somewher, some1 will take pity and HELP
Thanks!

Thanks for the link!
Hi Mr. Orb3000,
Is that to say I'll find all the info I need in the link?
Cheerio!

1. Which is best? WM 5, 6.1, 6.5??
A: That will depend on tastes, I like 6.5 but you need to have a powerfull device to really enjoy it.
I hope you find all you need!
Device Power
A helpful hint. My best guess is that the iPAQ HX2750 is one of the lesser powerful devices considering when I bought it in 2004 it came with win CE 4.21.
Will probably be a good idea then to opt for WM5 or 6.1 (at a push)
Thanks again!!!

Is there any existing roms for diamond with Windows 7 phone?
Or is there any projects which are planning to make a Windows 7 based ROM for Diamond?
There are vids on the web displaying Windows 7 Phone on Diamond, but i believe they were uncovered as fakes using RDP.
The phone is laggy enough on Windows Mobile and Android. And you want to run a Snapdragon needed Windows version on the Touch Diamond?
Think before you ask a silly question.

That was a silly answer.
The correct answer would simply have been no, Windows 7 requires a much more powerful phone.
There are some good themes for SPB Mobile Shell that represent WP7 pretty well

The question was realy silly. He just want to give a hint to the creater of the thread: if everyone would just create a threat for every sh**, then we would have a lot of spam here....................
Although I would have refrained from creating this thread I want to remind everybody that my beloved HTC Magician was in the same position once:
It was shipped with WM2003SE. Years later WM6 came out. Several threads asked for updates. Nothing. WM6.1 came out. Lots more of those threads. Nothing. WM6.5 came out and what was that? Someone hacked together WM6.1 for this forgotten device, which was always told: you're to old, slow, bad, ****ty, rotten, ... In between we have WM6.5 for it.
Maybe it will come,in my opinion it won't,but as Chatty said is stupid to spam those board,if and when it will come si unknown
Someone works on a "Like wp7 rom" for the HD2. But´its only win mobile 6.5.
Maybe someone can port it to the diamond.

You're soo right about this. My HP iPAQ hx2750 had WM 6.5.3 tough everyone said that WM6 would not possibole to run on that. Even the Android with the Diamond, a lot of people said, that it is not possibole. And what now? It works on the Diamond. A little slow, but works. The same will happen to WP7. It will be very slow, but it will run.
