Hi,
I am new to this forum, so apologies beforehand for any silly questions. I got this phone from my uncle (used one) - HTC p4600, rom version : 1.95.502.05, windows mobile 6.1. i would like to upgrade it to latest windows mobile version ( i dont know what is the latest version 6.5 or 7).
If going to 6.5 or even 7 what are the instructions/steps and from where i can download those OS?
thanks

They've mixed everything up...
Yes, Windows CE 6.0 is out. Hovewer Windows CE is not Windows Mobile.
WM Screenshots that recently float all over the Web is the screenshots of Windows Mobile "Crossbow". Crossbow is more of Windows Mobile 5 Second Edition, since it uses all WM5 internal architecture.
Windows Mobile that will use CE 6.0 "Yamazaki" kernel (and therefore will be numbered Windows Mobile 6.0) is codenamed Windows Mobile "Photon", and its still in the beginner works, long way to go, at least, before Crossbow goes out.
BTW did somebody promise even Crossbow firmware upgrade for Universal?

Some people have seen Universal running Crossbow.
Currently nothing can be promised as they are under NDA.

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

Hello to all the xda community.
I'm happy to have find out this place, where is possible to find interesting discussion and useful things for my mobile phone ( htc hd2 ).
Really thanks to all.
i was reading some post in these days about personalized themes and other stuff and often i read that most of this things works for windows mobile 6.5 or 6.5.x
Well, my htc hd2 ( buyed here in italy ) mount the 6.5 wm but i read something different on my phone: in my Info Software panel i can read the os version that is 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82 ).
I'm pretty confused now....
Maybe i can update the os?
Thanks for your support again.
i must say sorry....
i found something interesting about the various windows mobile version.
here the list:
3.0.9348 Pocket PC 2000
3.0.11171 Pocket PC 2002
4.20.xxxx Windows Mobile 2003
4.21.xxxx Windows Mobile 2003 SE
5.1.xxxx Windows Mobile 5
5.2.xxxx Windows Mobile 6
maybe this can be useful for someone here
anyway i didn't understand yet why in most post it's mentioned 6.5.x or 6.5 if the wm version are the only that i posted up here...
can someone help me just to understand?
for example, in a thread it's write that the a kind of task manager can work for WM6.5.X (28205/23518) ROM ( i dont know why the site don't allow me to insert the link ).
How i can check out what kind of WM version i have installed?
As i wrote already, i can read that i have installed 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82 )
So...may i upgrade my windows mobile or i'm misunderstanding something?
Thanks
What exactly are you asking? You're running Windows Mobile 6.5, if that's your question. You are NOT running 6.5.x, though if you search you will find plenty of 6.5.x ROMs for your Leo. The numbers you're seeing on the info panel are simply the Windows CE kernel version and the Windows Mobile build number, both of which are irrelevant for most people.

5.2 is the Windows CE Version
21869 is the build number
5.0.82 is the AKU
There's a list somewhere stating that 5.0.x AKUs are WM 6.5
The newest 6.5.x builds have a higher AKU i.e. 5.5.x
They also have a higher build number like i.e. 23534
There's also a list somewhere stating which range of build numbers belong to which version of 6.x
I agree it's a bit confusing in the beginning.

Exactly.
I was asking if the phone has installed wm 6.5, cause i was read in the info panel that number that you explain now that is the kernel version
You are NOT running 6.5.x, though if you search you will find plenty of 6.5.x ROMs for your Leo.

Ok.
So, the phone have installed the wm 6.5 until i use the official ROM released from HTC support.
It change only if i install, for example, a different rom donwloadble from here.
Am i right?

by default in the beginning also the htc diamond was sold with OS 6.1.
so i m afraid you cant find a 6.0 OS. but there is good news. you can download from microsoft the 6.0 OS emulator which can run the application you want.
personally i have even played skyforce in the emulator.
anyway the question remains whether you want to run this application on your diamond directly
Ok but this aplication should work on phone not on pc i cannot drive whole day with pc
Hi all,
may we ask which kind of app this is that runs only under OS 6.0?
ukaMFT work only up to WM 6.0
