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..

I put this on the BA upload FTP today, MDA could you have a look at it?
Here is what came in the description
Instructions for upgrading your ROM
to WM 5 Build 14343
At this point, there is 1 BlueAngel WM5 English Roms available: Version
5.1.1700 Build 14343
This is a BA GSM rom and will only work on PH20B / PH20B1 devices.
And it cant be made, fixed, edited or reworked to work on any other device
You need Windows XP and SP2 to make ActiveSync 4 work! SP2 is available free
of charge at any PC World computer superstore or direct from Microsoft.com
Flashing your device can turn it into a Paper Weight, this is your own risk
Flashing a Rom which is not from your carrier will void the warranty
The Partion Tool resets your Exteneded rom Password and you Will not be able to
lock you EXT Rom if you revert back to CE2003
I have not tried it out yet. The way I put it in there is in sort of a package form, the file rarsave has the original rar files in it and the folders are the unpacked versions.
Any comments or results would be grately apreciated.
Ok, I upgraded to this ROM, from what I can tell it is the most straight up almost factory version of WM5 I have seen, It is fast and solid.
The only thing missing is the Blackberry software, Enterprise or web. If anyone knows where to get that I would be a happy camper. Can you get this software in a CAB form?
When you click on IE for the first time it even says OEM version!!!
No branding at all.
are you sure this isn't the one which we have tried before?
Where did you get this rom ?
I think it is the first WM5 rom for BA, PDA2k_2k5.rar but I will see after reflash
There is no point to upgade to this rom i am right and this is the first one the same as this one
There are far better roms in the ftp than this one

There is no branding in every WM5 rom fo BA, because it is not distributed by an operator

even for my 2003SE, it doesn't have any branding because I bypass auto config ... so don't think it is such a big discovery.
Yep sorry must me the same one, I am still looking for the WM5 Blackberry connect instant mail that will work with this version...
have a look at the text in post nr 1 and the wiki text

sorry i am a bit of a beginner with all this but very confused. I want to upgrade my wm5 loox n500 with windows mobile 6 so i can run certain apps. I have read all the forums and i have downloaded the rom upgrades which say they will change my pda to wm6 - file appears to be os_122u.nbf. however after doing this which all appeared to go successfully my apps will still not run and it appears when i check that i am still on wm5
what am i doing wrong ? have i downloaded the wrong image / duff image ?
is there a dummy guide to upgrading the n500 anywhere ? is it the same for upgarde purposes as a n520 ?
any help appreciated
Craig
just by way of update after supposedly upgrading to wm6 it now says i am on version 5.1.464,
rom revision p224452-p919-v122
rom date 2006-09-20
bootloader revision 1.05
if this means anything to anybody ?
" 5.1.464"
== windows CE 5 which every windows mobile since wm5 have been build
on
where windows mobile 7 should use windows CE6
thanks Rude, just not sure how that helps me - or am i missing something ?
it gave you a version number to search if thats a 6.x version
another thing you can see is if you got threaded sms's it's one of the
few differences between wm6 wm5 apart from the glossy top panels

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?

Got it.
I think that you already understand that i'm new in this kind of things.
Thanks for your answer.
