Replacing Linux with Windows Mobile - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I'm asking that anyone could change OS system of PDA. I have a PDA "Porient H9" which is XScale 524Mhz running Linux OS. Is it possible to change the OS to WM? The specifications of this PDA like Athena, is it possible to flash Athena ROM to this machine? Thanks.

Basicly it's possible to change OS, but in this case it's impossible - NO WM ROM exist for this device.
And never ever try to flash any other ROM that is not designed for Your device.

Thanks for your reply. I have this idea because I found no software to support this OS and it becomes totally useless. It would become useful if the OS is WM. I want to flash Athena ROM because their specifications are very much alike. But I don't know how to get into bootloader mode. Hope any expert here can help me.

YOU CAN'T FLASH ATHENA ROM!!!
Drivers are different and similar hardware doesn't mean anything.
Never try to flash any other device ROM, because You will brick it.

Upgrading from Special Edition to WM2003 Issues

Hi,
I had the Special edition rom on my SX56, then I upgraded to the 30.05 ROM. I don't know about my ability to make telephone calls (I know I could with the Special Edition ROM), but Active Sync is not recognizing my device when I try to deploy applications I write in VS .Net 2003 to my device.
I just upgraded to the 30.09 ROM and I am getting the same thing.
Is there a way I can go back to the WM 2002 that originally came with this and I can do a direct upgrade to WM2003 to see if this elimiates my problems? Or does anyone else have another suggestion?
All help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Therese

Does it matter what I cook? Does it need to be an nb1 or do I use an exe?
the best way is to make a nb1 and flash it to a sd and update bootloader style imho that is

since I dont have a sd .. I'll make the nb1 and use the XDATool. I am assuming this will totally wipe everything that is there and give me a fresh start.. is this correct?
Thanks for your help Rudegar
well flashing roms delete anything in the ram if thats what you mean
never tried to use xdatools for anything but sd flash
but i suppose it should work ok

Android OS for hermes

Can I use Android OS in hermes

Short answer: No
Long Answer: The ARM chip in the Hermes is to old, it doesn't support some of the instructions needed, also there are no drivers for the chipset ect in the Hermes, so someone would need to go to a lot of trouble to write them all.
(As far as I know)

Well try this link, the ARMv5 instructions of Android have been recompiled for the ARMv4.
Let's see if the Hermes has a Pinguin future

I'm with you my friend!
he he.. most of our developers have switched to other forum, got newer devices & developing android for other devices...
Now you still with trinty and please BE one of our the developers... now i'm still learning about compiling/ tweaking kernel & stuff.. so will you, learn..
kinda gotta agree with u there.. my Trinity's been collecting dust on my desk ever since I got my Blackstone...
...that is until I flashed it to WM6.5 today and put it on-par with the blackstone (on OS anyway)...
I say wait for Android to get a bit more mature first on other HTC devices...it's still such a young OS, it's fast because it has practically nothing yet compared to the current gen WM OS.
Yeah, I want Android on my Trinity as well Hope some developers start working on this...we will be very grateful
I hope to try android on my trinity too. Please mention the good and bad if anyone had tried the rom especially memory after first boot. thanks.
Well, android on Artemis seems to be moving very well

It seems to be harmless to try running Wing Linux (and Android) on any OMAP850 device
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/wing-linux/wiki
Welcome to our project wiki. We aim to bring Linux and Google's Android operating systems to the T-Mobile Wing, HTC Herald / Atlas platforms and many other OMAP850-based devices.​
Nobody tried it on Trinity?
androkkid worked well on my htc trinity
hello to everybody..i tried firmware called androkkid developed by Simosoft (windows android emulator) and it worked very well...
Androkkid is just a new Windows Mobile interface, but not the ROM
So it's irrelevant
It's much more interesting to start a real Android on HTC

Looking for a ROM with WM only

Hi,
First, I have a question about cooking ROMs. A ROM is made of the Windows Mobile OS and some Applications, right? So where do you get the OS included in cooked ROMs. I would like to have a ROM with WM only. Like a formated PC with the OS installed after the first boot. This status I would like to have on my Touch Diamond. Does anyone know how to get this working?
I ask because I've seen a cooked ROM with CE OS 5.2.21042 and on my TD i have version 5.2.20764, but Windows Update reports, that no updates are available.
Felix
if you want a rom with nothing preloaded check out swtos's thread...
but with nothing loaded is barely usable (i'm talking about not having tf3d)
goto settings/today and disable Touchflo... thats what 'bare WM' would look like... and function like...
And is there any possibility to get just a wm update, that I have the newer OS Build, but without having to flash a new ROM?
no, just flash the new 6.5 rom, there is one with 120mb free which sounds like what you are after
Which one do you mean? There are many 6.5 ROMs

if u just spend abour 1min reading thru the main headlines, u should already see it.
Well they are all not really what i am looking for, but thanks for the suggestions. I still have one question left: Where do ROM cookers get the OS the build in their ROMs?
usually xda-member posts both XIP and SYS of the latest build.
usually after rom cookers release their ROM first.
Ok thanks.

hi dude!
i'm too interested for Anroid(Linux) OS!
and i tryed running this OS in HERMES device, but nothing happened .
well, in current time for our HERMES nothing .
i'm soo glad with Windows 6.5.1
Android is built for ARM5 processors and the Hermes has an ARM4 processor, so it would have to be ported first and also have drivers written for the Hermes hardware. I think the OpenMoko phone uses an ARM4 processor, so that might be a good place to start.
