Does Anybody know about WM6 for O2 XDA Stealth ?
Thanks.
welcome to xda-developers... on the top right hand part of your screen... there is a search function... use it..
short answer... no chance...
And the slightly longer answer (I wish all those nagging newbies would read this...): O2 took a long time getting WM5 to work right on the Atom line. When I bought mine, 4-5 months after release, it had barely gotten past the Alpha stage in ROMs! Who wants WM6, which is really nothing that shiny and new, with a ton of new bugs, incompatible software and annoyances?
WM6 on XDA Stealth?!?
And what about the post of user James Ngo from 2007-03-21 17:09 here:

I can dish out unsubstantiated statements just as well as him: I have Mac OS running on my Atom right now, and it works just like the IPhone. And I dual boot with Linux Ubuntu, when I want to. See how easy it is?
I do not think there is a chance of getting WM6 on Stealth, It would be ubber cool thou

Is there any firm news on the likleyhood of a WM2003SE Upgrade for XDAII's (or any of the other versions of this hardware)? I have seen plenty of posts from people who seem to think it will come sometime but nothing official confirming this.
Given that HP have abandined any possibility of an upgrade for existing users I think it unlikley but I guess it only needs one ISP to offer the upgarde for Himalaya hardware and then we should be able to re-work it for the rest of us.
Yes, I'm looking for this too! I was hoping at least the new T-Mo USA iPaq phone edition would have SE! Is there a way to put that OS on my xdaII? -or is that a bad idea? -is it possible to get that ROM anywhere?

here is a qoute from http://www.clubimate.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2872 posted by pmanser:
I just talked with the "live support" on this site. This is a copy of the session
Welcome Paul, please wait while we get you in contact with one of our club advisors...
You're now talking to Ali
Ali> Welcome to club i-mate support. My name is Ali, how can I help you today?
Ali> hi
Paul> hi, i wanted to ask about if/when the Windows Mobile 2003 SE update will be available for the imate PPC
Ali> Microsoft have just released Windows Mobile 2003 SE, however we need to add our elements to the operating system to make it into the complete device package.
Paul> is there any guess on time frame, it as been release by microsoft for a couple of months now.
Ali> there is no exact day for that
Ali> this usualy take 2 mounths
Paul> I have a number of friends who are considering purchasing the imate, but not sure if they should wait a bit longer if it wont be getting the landscape support found in SE. Can I at least tell them that it will be supplied sometime (this year)
Ali> yes sure , The Windows Mobile 2003 SE is totally different from the new upgrade currently available on our www.clubimate.com website that updates the current version of Windows Mobile 2003.
Ali> it will have the ability to view the pages in landscape
Paul> I understand that, just wanted to make sure it will be provided. I know a number of manufactureres have said they would not.
Paul> thank-you for your time
Ali> any more quieries ?
Paul> I have noticed that there is a number of questions about this topic on the support message boards on the club imate site. Is it ok if I post this conversation there to the public to answer the question and lay fears at ease?
Ali> ok thats will be fine , as i told you we need to add our elements to the operating system to make it into the complete device package.
Paul> ok, thank alot, you have been very helpful
Paul> bye
Ali> you are most welcome
Ali> bye
So it indeed seems that it is being worked on. And a big thanks to imate for providing that. All we neeed to do is be patient.

So will they also fix the handsfree blooper for automatic answering with your BT headset?
Hi,
New to this site but glad I found it, what a handy resource!
I recently purchased a 2nd user O2 XDA II (about 12 months old) which is current setup in its factory default state. I have been reading allot about users upgrading their Himalya models to Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition and I wanted to know if the same is possible for the UK O2 XDA II's?
Also will this upgrade lock the Phone and/or reduce the functionality of the phone?
What pre-upgrade tasks do I need to perform first e.g apply updates first etc.
Thanks in advance,
Taz
Watch this site carefully to find out about the SE version - there has been a breakthrough in the last few hours in which mamaich has translated the only official SE ROM (a Chinese one) into English. Work continues...
No Himalaya has been sold with an official English WM2003SE ROM as far as we know, but it may be only time....
What is the existing ROM version of your machine? The latest O2 UK ROM version is 1.72 which you can download from http://www.my-xda.com/xda2_soft.html . It's probably worth upgrading to that if your machine is a year old and is still on its original 1.12 (?) ROM.
Upgrading ROM doesn't re-lock an unlocked phone.
Before upgrading the ROM, backup all important data - it'll be lost in the update.
upgrade
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WIN03 UPGRADES ON SITE AT THE MO BUT STILL IN THE TESTING STAGE.
I HAVE USED BOTH BUT THEY ARE NOT, JUST THERE YET.
AT THE MOMENT I'M BACK ON 1.72 WAITING TO SEE DEVELOEMENTS.
NOT SURE YET IF ITS WORTH THE BOTHER TO GHANGE AS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PROGS APART FROM VISUAL IS KINDA MINIMAL TO USE NON TECHIES, AND THERE IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM IN THE SENSE THAT SOME PROGS DON'T WORK ON SE THAT DO ON 1.72 AND VISA VERSA SO I'M TOLD. ALTOUGH IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SOFTWARE LOADED THEN NOT A REAL PROBLEM.
BUT HEY WHAT A GREAT SITE, I'M LEARNING NEW STUFF DAILY, SOON I MAY BE A TECHY TOO!

Yeah I came across the WM2003SE stuff by accident, was searching the net for some completely unrelated info and came across a link that caught my eye - would you believe it we have not one but two versions to choose from.
I am not too sure if I want to upgrade just yet, one of the reasons I bought a PDA in the first place was to start coding my own apps and as part of a large scale enterprise application I have been developing for over a year now.
If compatibility is an issue then I will hold off for now, I know Microsoft are slowly releasing WM2003SE related development stuff so I don't think it will be long before I take the plunge as I don't mind hacking my PDA's to peices.
As a credit to this site, I was searching various Pocket PC sites on the net (most are to bloated with info or just a bit too American for me) and came across XDA-Developers.com. It was because of the all of the info available on this site that I purchased my XDA II
I have already hacked it apart, I am running the latest 1.72 ROM and 1.17 Radio (is it worth ugrading to 1.18) as well as finally getting Pocket Hack Master to run the thing at 600Mhz with a 200Mhz bus (I will post the correct settings once I have verified that they are indeed the most stable ones).
Thanks again and good luck with WM2003SE!

nooooooooooooooooo
there is really no use of this topic... except to vent (no abusive words)
go ahead and vent !!!
It's a hacked ROM, and not a lot of things work, but yeah...it IS frustrating.
WM6 on Prophet? Is that a big deal? Even if you're "only" running WM5 on your Hermes, your phone is still better. I used to own an i-mate JAMin and I find my new JASJAM a nice upgrade.
we cant even flash cooked roms yet on the hermes.. so just be patient, as soon as we master that i am sure that a WM6 version will surface
So i finaly got a hold of wm6cb.rar. Tried the romupgrade tool and kept getting country id error. So i draged the NFK file to the country id patched loader. I put the enterbl.exe on my 8525, launch it. i get my red blue and green screen says tytn on it and some other stuff. so i launch the nonid rom update tool. It idenifies the new rom
Device rom: "Nothing stated"
Device radi: "Nothing stated"
device Ext:"Nothing stated"
To
Device rom :2.00????
it brings me to the loading stage with the install 0%
then stays there for 10 mins and then i get an error
112 ce rom update error
Please somone help me i know somone has to knwo what this is or how to fix it
THanks in advance
That WM6 is compiled for TiOmap 850, though they are both arm based I do not believe it will work on the samsung system.
damn that sucks thanks for the info man i appreciate it
it will work with 8125 or no
wrong device
This is for wizard devices, won't work on your hermes!
and if i read correctly there is now hermes wm6 rom floating around
just universal and wizard.

I think you meant NO not "now" it makes a big different for us.
SDinsider posted pics of crossbow running on a TyTN. They're in the Crossbow thread.
I can confirm crossbow is compiled for the hermes as I saw it running on an 8525 at a recent microsoft launch event. it will probably never be available for us though since I saw that the hermes successor is already announced with the main difference being that its gps antenna has been connected.
Hey, that's marketing for ya. The hermes has the chips, but the next gen lets them work, progress.
Well I love my hermes, best PPC/phone I've had yet, but I'd shell out more money in a heartbeat for the next gen with integrated GPS and crossbow.
You said that it's announced? What's it called and where can I read about it??
Thanks for any direction!

Or maybe HTC Titan ( not TyTN )...

The Titan is the successor to the Apache.

GUys, every week I have a business meeting with the Windows Mobile BG @ BMicrosoft Brazil, and every time I still keep asking for the Hermes WM6 ROM, because there is one for sure and I don´t care if it will be official released form Htc, just keep on trying, we can do better customizations here at xda dev.
I have a 8525 and would like to upgrade to the new WM6. Like the title states I'm new to this, so I ask you all what is the best rom version for WM6 and what is the easiest way to do it. Also what kind of complications could I be looking at. Thanks in advcance.
YOU HAVE TO READ THE WIKI.
Everything is there and nothing that anyone can post here in a few sentences will take away from knowing how not to brick your phone.
I am new as well, took the time to read the info, understand the workings and just today I flashed my phone for the third time.
WM6 Vanilla, then WMXL .20 came out and today WM6 LVSW came out which is although not the most fun ROM (tech-head wise) it is by far the most stable.
