Could someone plz tell me how to upgrade my hp ipaq?????? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

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!

Hi Mr. Orb3000,

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!!!

HP ipaq h1930

Can someone please tell me what type of PDA this, eg Himalaya, Blue Angel, this Ipaq h1930 come under. Looking to upgrade the OS if its possible. Any help appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hey Shand,
Himalaya etc are the names related to the PDAs made by HTC...19xx series belong to HP and for its upgradation visit www.hp.com and select the option "Support..."
the h1930 has no upgrades for operating systems whatsoever. maybe a rom update, but nothing as far as second edition and definitely not 2005.
there's a lot of HP bashing about it, but they're just corporate-haters
This link to ipaq centre offers to update your ipaq1900 series to the latest available for less than 20 uk pounds.

And here you can order the upgrade to WM2003.

WM 2003 SE for Universal?

Hi!
My friend has an MDA Pro, and he's fed up with WM 5.
Is there a way to get a PPC2003 ROM for Universal?
(I haven't found on FTP)
thanks
ahoj
to make it short: no
:roll: yeah of course u can downgrade to WM2003 SE....
...u have just to believe in flying donkey...
:?: can u explain us why u want to downgrade to this ****ty OS??? :?:
BYE
I told my friend these bad news, and he's really sad now...
He's fed up with it's extemely low performance in everyday use
He's fed up with BT connection issues, application incompatibility...
He was hoping that this "little" thing is like the HP iPAQ hx4700, where you are able to downgrade to the "original, shipped" WM 2003 SE.
Well, all-in-all... NO.
thanks for the help

why not???
is it becouse of the reolution??
ore is the chip set diverent
y have run windows mobile 2005 on my qtek 2020
bud y still love my diamond rom from
omegaone hey is a forum member this is the most stable rom y have ever used
y realy like to have it on my 9000
even if it means when the battery is dead y lose all my data
x back helps me running again
y hope some one takes the time to figure it out
The problem is that the Universal was designed from the ground up as a WM5 device, and so there is no "Original" ROM to downgrade to. There are quite a few posts on this already that go in greater detail.
My friend is interested about every solutions :lol:
(I know that the ROM area is different, as well as the chipset is. Apart from that, I really hope that there are some people who are developing it, like WM5 to Blue Angels.)

All these people work in Microsoft, and they would not bother porting obsolete OSes for a modern device. Better they'd make an upcoming WM 6.0 for our toy
Anyway you would not like Universal having only 32Mb RAM and 32Mb of object store. Or should I say 24 / 24 Mb.

HP Ipaq 6315 (Newb ?)

I have an old HP Ipaq 6315 and I want to port WM6 on it, can this be done?
I did a search and did not find anything.
Thanks for any help.
unfortunately, there has NOT been any release for Hp h6315 for quite a while. I thinh that this ppc phone is no longer useful for popular, except you and me!!!
HP just pissed all IPAQ
Ipaq 6340 and 6315
I have two of each running in pristine cond. However, the wm3 is badly bugged and I think it would really spice up those things if ported to wm5 og wm6. Even to the nice touch iPod lookalike floating menu of the HTC might be usable. ( if the cpu can handle it )
Has there not been ONE porting of wm5 or wm6 for those extremely popular ppc´s here , ever ?? Not even an attempt ???
Please , if anyone can answer this question for me asap, so I will not be wasting my time here.

Which ROM for WM6 to use for HP Ipaq 2200?

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

upgrade toshiba e800

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?
