Hello! I have a problem... I would like to do the upgrade to windows mobile 6 (I have an ASUS A636 N... ) but i have fear that if I will have problems I will never be able to downgrade again to wm5.... (I read some people had problems and to connect with internet and they want to downgrade to windows mobile 5 again but it was not possible or was too much hard)...
I have wm5 in italian but the upgrade it's only in english...
since an instruction say:
"Please do not upgrade different language version ROM."
That mean that I can't upgrade an english rom version over my wm5 in italian version?
Please, can you help me to find a rom of windows mobile 5 that works for my asus a636n in the case I would downgrade again?
I have some programs that runs on wm5 and I'm not sure if they will runs again with wm6 , more, I don't even know if I'll find again these good programs for wm6!
I m also searched pocket pdf reading for wm6 and I can't find anywhere!
The same for the japanese's program dictionary that I used often....
Basically, the programs that I need to use are words, pocket pdf, pocket dictionary (japanese language), to be able to navitage without problems to internet .
Ah! I read also that windows mobile 6 have included a program (push mails) that allow people to know when they received a new emails even in standy, a sound or vibration will advise that I received an email! And all of this for free! It's a feature includes in windows live ... is true?
Thanks again for the infos and help!!

Hi there,
I read the forum for some days now and did learn quite a lot. Unlocked my T-Mobile MDA Vario II, flashed HardSPL, and also a new WM6 Rom. Since I'm on Vista i have some Problems now. After the WM6 Rom was on the Device Vista detected a new Mobile Device and now Mobile Device Center from Vista is freaking out, sometimes it detects my phone, sometimes not. I pressume because of WM6, since with WM5 on the Phone i didn't have these Problems..
Anyone knows something about that?
Another thing is, i really would like to have a german wm6 rom, but the Tool to convert a .nb to a .nbh file i found in the Wiki (Koch) doesn't seem to work in Vista, i always get an compiler error when i load the .nb file. Are there any other Tools or could someone here maybe just build me a german rom with Vodafone OEM stuff and convert it for me?
regards,
nEUTRon
You really need to read mrvanx guide, look at my signature.

I must learn to read properly! The problem is caused because the device centre sees it as a new device, it would be best to uninstall the device centre and reinstall it that should sort it. In regards of the tools problem I know of nothing to fix this, I have to run mine on XP it is the only way.
Damn...Thanks anyway. So i have to make my rom when i'm back at office with some XP machine
I have the same problems with Vista detecting my phone. I sometimes have to plug and unplug it three times before it detects it. Also, it seems to work best for me with the option "Enable advanced networking functionality" unchecked in Settings | Connections | USB to PC.
Greetings,
I have just bought a Orange SPV M650 with Freedom Universal Keyboard in Poland. It's a great phone and I'm amazed with all the functions it has. Since I'm new to using PDA's (and also Windows based computers - I used to have only MAC's) can you give me or point me to some hints how to:
1. Turn off my Orange menu
2. Tell me of a better word processor than MSword
3. Tell me is it possible to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 with English or polish language
4. Direct me to a program where I can backup my contacts
5. Tell me how to view the content of my PDA with MS Activesync
I would really appreciate the tips.
Thanks

The answers will be:
1+3+4:
flash this rom to your phone > artemis touch 4.02. it will be faster and has fantastic features in it. your orange menu will be gone, it's windows mobile 6. in english and there's a program (PIMbackup) that can backup all your contacts, messages, tasks etc.

BEFORE flashing: use uspl first to cid unlock your device (but this feature is also in the download with the rom 4.02. So first step 1, then step 2, then it will be fine.

2: don't know
5: when using windows vista you have to use Windows Mobile Device Center (free downloadable). windows XP uses active sync 4.5 or higher.
good luck!
Thanks for the tips!
I backed up my contacts so now I'm ready to install Artemis Touch 4.02 as you suggested.
One thing still bothers me: is it possible to install polish fonts in to an english system?
Thanks for the reply.
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
The new wm6.5 comeing WM 6.5 21884 19.01 2010
can used ram27 mb
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=152204
someone can help to download the rom?
because the web is Russian
2shared.com/file/10837516/5dc71470/Acer_N311_WM_6_5_23518_2010_01.html
here you are (add www in front of the address), but it´s the newer version WM 6.5 23518 for Acer N311. It´s the russian version, so if you can´t read their pages (4PDA) I don´t think you will be able to operate the system...but, it´s your choice ;-)
anyway we will have to wait further for translation...
Thank you very much

Test
Hi guys,
Did someone test it? Any updates?
Thanks
Hi, tested WM6.5 ROM 23518 release date 2010/5/02..there is no newer since this date. Tested on Acer N311, it´s slower than WM6.1 Football Edition and also uses more memory...that influenced mainly using the PDA as GPS navigator (iGO8 navigation software had serious problem caused by insuficient memory space). I´m going to upgrade my PDA to 128MB RAM and then try again. =) have a nice weekend!
Trying to install WM 6.5 on my Acer n300
Hi Guys,
I know this thread is quite old, but hopefully someone will answer me.
I'm trying to upgrade my Acer n300 (WM 5.1.476 (Build 15704.3.5.0) to
WM 6.5.
I've downloaded potatoheads file (thanks), but am stumped as to what to do next.
I'm quite technical, but am a complete noob when it comes to flashing mobile devices.
Any help appreciated.
Rom version is 1.00.24
firmware version is 2.6
Bootloader version is 1.24
Thanks
John (aka Teleportist)
Update.
Managed to flash my N300 with the two files by putting them on my SD card and performing a hard reset.
Had some initial problems with the Wi-Fi card not displaying its MAC address, but that seemed to clear itself.
Also installed SPB Mobile Shell. All-in-all this has given my n300 a new lease of life.
Thanks for making these files available.
will try this tonight
Went through my old things and found my acer n311. Having bought it and used it for about 6 months, it then got put in a box and never seen again after getting a blackberry and a sat nav.
Going to try this ROM tonight and carry on searching for a good resource to let me know how I can get the most out of this device. Otherwise ill end up just puting it on eBay. Cheers
Hi, I know this thread is more dead than myself but, anyone has the build 28217? Or something near it?.
I have the only one I could find (aka the one is uploaded on mediafire on this thread) but I have a problem with the bluetooth and some stuff.
If anyone could just search on their hard drive for it, like searching n311 or something, would be helpful. Thanks
Hi, there, I just found out that acer n311 is the good old fashioned pda that has 64mb of ram. I seriously recommend you to stay away from wm6.5 altogether unless you have something like htc hd2(and even thete I did install wm6.1) and instead source out a good custom wm 6.1 rom which does everything that wm6.5 does, but faster, because 6.5 is just a bloated wm 6.1.
I had wm6.5 once on my hx4700 that I still use, the start menu alone makes the os use 10mb more ram than wm6.1, so yeah just get rid of it. Besides wm is the best when it tries to be wm not iPhone.

Hello
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post.
I have a HP IPAQ 2755 HX running Windows Mobile 2003 SE without problem. I have been searching through the internet trying to see if its a good idea to upgrade to WM5 or WM6. I am not sure if its even possible as I have seen some posts that WM5 runs with degradation. Can I upgrade to WM6?
Can I even find a download for Wm5/WM6? I am still gathering information and details and not clear the process to upgrade the ROM.
Any information / advice would be greatly appreciated.
If I do upgrade the ROM and there is problems how easy is it to fallback the original ROM? Could it damage the unit?
Tks/Dave
Hi Everyone
Where can I still get Windows Mobile 5? MS advised they dont have it available anymore
