rom upgrade

It seems that it is impossible to upgrade our actual Windows mobile devices on the Vista system.
Even if PDA manufacturers will propose new solutions/tools for the new devices, We should return to Win XP for our old PDA's upgrade.

I have flashed my ROM multiple times from within Vista - Dopod p800w
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?
Dear friends,

As far as I know most GPS devices are based on Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 Core it's like a small Windows with Start Menu, Desktop and so on, but this feature is locked down only to Navigation Software and Simple file browsing.
There is no final Windows CE6, only some RC versions.
Windows Mobile is also based on Windows CE, but that's a different OS tree.
Basically there is nothing You can do with the dump.
P.S. I think You mean Acer P610

Hi All,
Since I upgraded my Diamond 2 (Topaz) with windows mobile 6.5 (build 21854 French) and seing so many more recent windows mobile 6.5 build (latest 23081 looks amazing), I wonder what is the Microsoft windows mobile 6.5 upgrade policy.
Will we ever be able to upgrade our devices WITHOUT flashing ROM ? I mean, will it be possible to have something like desktop windows update that will allow us to upgrade our build without the need of a hard reset ?
I clearly understand the need of upgrading whole ROM to go from one major version to another (6.0->6.1->6.5), but I don't see the point of flashing to go through 6.5 updates.
Thanks for your answers
