WM7 possible by an update ? - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

Hello,
Do you think mobiles could get WM7 by an "update" ? Microsoft provided the required configuration, but now we know that WM7 is totally a new operating system.
-> If it is not possible, will you buy a new device for WM 7 ?

Royaltek Empus RTW-1000

Is it possible to upgrade Royaltek Empus RTW-1000 http://www.royaltek.com/index.php/content/view/93/5/ to windows mobile 2005???????????
No.
To be able to update the OS on a Windows Mobile device the OEM must provide a ROM image specific for that device.
Since there is no update offered on the OEM site, we must assume it does not exist.
sorry...double post
Hi I found this official ROM for this device:
http://www.mobiltelefonok.hu/aa/rtw1000_rom_upgrade.html
I searched a little (No actual knowledge and skills in anything that has to do with roms )and it looks like an Eten ROM.Can anyone help with ANYTHING that could give a little update update to this low end device?(WM 2003 Ozone). Even 2003se looks like a big update to me now...

Newer windows for HP Ipaq h5550?

who knows if i can upgrade my windows on my h5550? i have now wm 3
bump . i really need new windows: )
There are no ROM upgrades for your device.
oh..and they can't be made? its too old
There are two ways ROM upgrades are made:
1) The company that made your device is very nice so they go to MS, get new license then put in the work to create and official update.
2) When there is a great interest in a device and some leaked information hackers get around and reverse engineer the bootloader and ROM encryption to create cooking tools.
Unfortunately both options do not look likely for your phone.

Waypoint 100 PDA WM6 possibility

Gurus,
I am a newbie and want to find out any possibility to upgrade mobile crossing waypoint pdas to WM6. Since I can not find any similar WM6 ROM as a base ROM, I want to combine the original bootloader in WM 2003 with Microsoft Standard ROM to try out.
Could someone here provide any guideline and introduce some tools that might be useful?
Thanks
the so called ms stadart rom cant be run on any device
it lack all drivers which have to be made and provided to it
with wm5 the driver model was changed meaning that wm2003 based
drivers dont really work
which is the reason why many devices never move from 2003SE
the tool used to add the drivers to the base os is called platform builder
and is only legal for people to have if ms gave it to them
people like htc hp and the likes
Thanks, Rudegar .
So chances for WM6 seem remote. Since what I really want is more memory for programs, I can still move some files from 2003 ROM to storage card.
Will the tools in wiki.xda-developers.com work for waypoint?
Will Tools for HTC chips work for waypoint?
Mainly, I want to remove some files and let the PDA has more memory for programs.
Thanks

Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Upgrade Policy

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

What is the point of flashing a new ROM in the phone?

Hi guys, I'm a newb in pda "customization" but it this seems... well.. kool... So I'd like to know what exactly is a cooked ROM and what is the main reason of flashing it into a pda.. Does it give some extra features or something like that?
Phone
windows mobile 5 > windows mobile 6 > windows mobile 6.1 > windows mobile 6.5
PC
windows 98 > windows Xp > windows vista > windows 7
NOw you understand ? yes its giving you new features , newer menus , newer programs etc.
new cooked rom is just new better software for your phone
So you mean it would actually upgrade my WM9 to WM 6.5.. That'd be awesome.. because I read somewhere on MS' support forum that this wasn't possible..

MS don´t offer WM updates for end users so you have to await updates from vendors like HTC. But don´t wait for additional Artemis updates...
The last available official ROM for the Artemis is WM6.0. But be careful with USPL. The original version will brick your phone when you flash a custom firmware.
but it's OK if I perform a cid unlock first.? Because I just did and was gonna install WM6.5 now ..

If you have already changed the USPL you can start with WM6.5
...
only if SPL is 1.11.cmon
if you don't have that SPL at device start-up, don't try flashing with a rom..
