HP iPAQ hx4700 and Crossbow

Hi there,
Since Crossbow is running perfectly on my Universal, I wanted to give another model a try, so anyone ever succeeded in having the iPAQ hx4700 running Crossbow?
I know it might be a bit dangerous, but I already tried to put the hx4700 in the bootloader and to flash a HTC Universal Crossbow ROM.
It actually starts upgrading, but after a few %'s the screen turns blank and with a soft reset the device will restart.
Something to forget or is there a way?

i m currently doing some rom cooking for my 4700...
working out the wm6!

Great!!
I'd say: please share when you've something done.

i cant find anything similar to initflashfiles.dat

Is this a ROM for the hx4700?
If it isn't this is no new leaked ROM. It's one of the first WM6 ROM's for the HTC Universal. Many other have already been released after this one.

thats not for 4700
but i m trying to do sth with it
hope u guys will develop a great rom for his GrEAT device too
however i m improving the speed of wm5
like editing paging pool and removing some rubbish
added some wm6 rings into the rom and stuff.

Any progress made on a Crossbow ROM for hx4700?

I'm really interested on some new ROM for the hx4700. It has not been beaten yet in terms of speed and screen size! Why not WM6 on it??

I already found a few ROM's, but i'm hoping too, that the hx4700 community will pick this up as well as the HTC one ...
Bart

A Modded WM5 version

I hope somebody does get a WM6 rom working for the hx4700. It's time for a step up from the unstable modded WM5s with a pretty WM6 theme.

Please Help... I'm very new to this and I need clarifications.

Hello everyone...
i just bought an i-mate JAMin yesterday, so im new to windows mobile.
Its OS is (from what im reading from the "about" in the system settings):
Microsoft windows mobile version 5.0
OS 5.1.196 (build 14847.2.0.0) etc...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now i was just wondering (from what i'm reading in this forum), if my WM5 can be upgraded to WM6 ??? just like the one im reading about in this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6/default.mspx
im sure that i have a HTC phone since when i turn on my imate i get "HTC" with a white background...
======
As a quick summary, i have 2 questions:
1. After installing XDA_Exec_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship.zip , will my WM5 become WM6 ("WM6 OS 5.2.318 (Built 15341.0.0.0)")????? just like the one on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6/default.mspx
2. What are the terms "crossbow", "universal"? do i need to know those terms before upgrading my i-mate?
Thank you a lot in advance... and thanks a lot helmi_c
sorry if i sound dumb but im really overwhelmed

anyone ?

hello? sry if im being a pain... but im very anxious

1st: You mentioned IMate Jam? This is a HTC UNIVERSAL thread otherwise known as O2 Executive, MDA TMobile PRO, QTEK 9000, IMate JASJAR, etc... I don't know what an IMate JAM is. So I am concluding you are on the wrong page.
2nd: On the first question you posted, YES that link is WM6 or CROSSBOW for the HTC UNIVERSAL. So, I am assuming you are using a different phone since the name you posted is IMate JAM. DON'T INTERCHANGE THEIR NAMES, AS YOU CAN SERIOUSLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
3rd: The term you mentioned HTC UNIVERSAL is the generic name. O2 Executive, MDA TMobile PRO, QTEK 9000, IMate JASJAR, etc... are brand names. CROSSBOW is the same as Windows Mobile 6.

umm... actually its JAMIn... i-mate JAMIn...
are there other forums than Universal with ROM updates ? precisely for i-mate JAMIn ?
i'm really confused here... but are those ROMs replicas of an official WM6 upgrade from microsoft ? do the ROMs give the 'impression' that users have installed WM6 or are they true ones ? (after all , the version of helmi_c's ROM for example is WM6 OS 5.2.318 ... so its basically still version 5... right ?
btw from my "Device Information" in the system settings I read that my ROM version of my JAMIn is 2.13.9.23 WWE.... does that mean that if I install helmi_c's ROM (2.01.08 WWE) I'll be DOWNGRADING my ROM ? :S:S:S
thx in advance

Check your device and look for your proper forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php
You might seriously destroy your device if you use our ROM. I suggest you read more about your device on the proper forum.
These ROM's for the Universal are UNOFFICIAL release, but they are genuine Microsoft Crossbow ROMs made to run on our device.

Dumping S620 rom, downgrade ?

Hello,
I really want to upgrate to WM6 as soon as possible. My phone operator offer me some services (emails, web, messenger) only if I use the prvided settings and applications.
If I upgrade to WM6 and things don't work, is going back to factory state as simple to flashing HTC WM5 + EXT ROM ?
Jean

I was wondering the same thing: I would like to upgrade to WM6, but not without having a backup of the WM5 rom supplied by the Wireless Network Operator.
I searched the forum on how to backup the rom, but was unable to find any usable information. Anybody would like to help us out?

you can't back it up in that way.
just download one of the wm5 roms posted here.

1. The original WM5 ROM for the s620 is available. It's out there online if you do a little searching. It used to be hosted here. I ran it on my Dash for months before going to WM6.
2. HTC is going to be releasing the WM6 update soon. This will be a MUCH better firmware than T-Mobile's. Also, if you wait for it, you won't have to worry about unlocking or anything.
-Mc
p.s. Smartphones don't have an Extended ROM.

alright thanks guys, I'll just wait till the official HTC release, I also found the wm5 roms, so I should be all set.

I was able to find an unbranded rom (not sure if it the latest... which is the latest French version ?) but if smart phones doesn't contain ext rom, where are the customizations ?
My french phone operator is Ten Mobile. I think it will be tricky to find that particular rom.

wm5 rom...
Can someone email me a link or email me the original wm5 rom for the htc s620 and not the t-mobile dash version?
TIA

s620 wm6 rom
I really need instructions link and download link of the WM6 ROM for Htc S620.
Can Anyone help me on that? I will apreciate it a lot.
Thanks

Best for HTC TyTN

HI.
What is best version of WM6 for this model???
thanks

This question, I have already asked me. The selection of roms at the moment is huge!
How it actually looks with the new official WM6.1?
Cu
POpY

Go with one of the Schaps Roms
Schaps has made great Roms for both 6.0 and now 6.1. His 6.1 is still a beta, I'm running it with no issues. Great Rom. You may want to hang on until he posts the final version of it (should be any day now, maybe over the weekend).
Just my two cents worth.
Installation instructions you'll find all over this forum. just search for it.
\MIG

Hard to say which ROM is best as it depends on what software you want installed, reliability, performance etc
I have always been an admirer of Schaps, Pays, Black Satin to name a few
All this info can be found if you search these forums
Personally I am using Schaps 6.1 Beta, and looking forward to his full release which is due soon (been waiting now for a few weeks).
Check out the wiki pages for more info

i have found Schaps 4.31 Lite is the best so far just straight up WM6 no 6.1

Thats exactly my point, each person has their own favourite, and this question has been asked 1000's of times in this forum

spartan THIs is a n00b question but if I try Schaps beta 6.1 can I flash back down to lets just say his 4.31??

Can some one post me newest:
1. SPL
2.Radio
3.Rom
thanks for all

I can say which one for now
this is the ROM of PAYs 6.1
here it is:

WM 5.0 for Hermes?

I searched all forums but I cant find WM 5.0 for Hermes?
I have MDA Vario 2 now, and do not need anything spectacular than WM 5.0, only important thing is ENGLISH version
One more question-is flashing same as for WM 6.0?If it is, how about putting official ROM WWE 838Pro HK?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316726
Is this only procedure, as I see? Just to confirm, more than 50 flashed devices but Hermes for the first time ;-)
1. Download and do Hard SPL V7
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
2. Download and flash ROM
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=26
Tnx, Danke, Grazie, Hvala!

well there is no wm5 for hermes.. in my knowledge cause hermes was shipped with wm6 by default...
Yes all te procedures are correct..
BTW BEFORE!!!! you flash a new rom please please please flash the stripped Att original radio rom wm6 ok? ciao
PD you can found the stripped rom on every thread about rom development...
Good luck!.

Thanks man, now I see it is WM 6
I did not understand this- do you suggests me to put AT&T ROM or to find only radio ROM and flash??
Is it possible to have problems with Hermes after upgrading only thi WWE ROM?
Same procedure for flashing or??? Cos' i found hundred of threds on this theme...

nonono
if you flash that WM6 ithink is fine cause it seems to be original...
but if you want to flash a custom.. i mean a cooked rom
you must to flash before the att stripped.
yes is the same procedure.

OK
I need only stable ROM, just to work fine on this PDA, not cooked...yet ;-)
Tnx man!

no problem man!
good luck
this thread can be erased cause even it must be on upgrading forum... was solved
Any mod please.

OK, if its possible to move or erase in total, no needed any more. My mistake during posting, i was reading WM 6 and put it occasionaly

Actually, most Hermes CAME with WM05... It was just that after WM06 came out the carriers upgraded them to that. If you look hard enough you MIGHT find WM05 but it wasn't as stable as WM06 so wasn't maintained. I know I got rid of my old WM05 roms... If you want an old WM05, look for Jasjammin's Black Magic... Was a brilliant rom in its time...
Cheers....

Nice to know that man Thanks!

Actually, I still have a copy of at&t's wm5!
