Fellow xda Members:
I come from the Diamond side of xda, so I have no clue on your turf
Quick question: I have a friend that has a ipaq rx3715 and he wants to upgrade the ROM.
I did search and search like a law abiding member but got nothing other than a 2005 ROM.
Of the small knowledge I have about these devices, I can see that the ipaq and the Himalaya are the same?? So I could flash a Himalaya ROM to the ipaq?
Or how can I upgrade the device.?
Thanks very much I appreciate the help.
Please... any one. Simple yes or no will do.
Thanks
I am not 100% sure, but I would say with 99% certainty that a Himalaya Rom wouldn't work. The Rom is built specifically for HTC, and even more specifically for the Himalaya. There are many differences between the phone you mentioned and the Hima, not least of which is their Processors.
Sorry that I couldn't be of more assistance.

Is it possible?
The new XDA IIs has WM2003SE in the ROM image, so would it be possible to steal it from there and add it to a home cooked XDA II rom?
Is there a ROM Kitchen available for the XDA II, or is it only available for the XDA I?
Thanks in advance for your help.
1. still Not Possible at the moment !

1. It will never be possible to steal the complete ROM, since the hardware is different and unlike PC-operating systems, PocketPC ROMS don't have drivers for multitude of hardware. Hardware independant pieces of software could be chipped out and ported to another, like SRS.
2. :lol:
I've used WM2003SE on my XDA2 & it works fine. In fact seemed to be rather more stable than the one it replaces.
It was a NFR version & I've since gone back to 1.72.181 'cos I want Blackberry
Then you must be one of the lucky few who got their hands on a XDAII WM2003SE Rom.
If NFR means NotForSale, that is why we never saw it.
But if you could share, plz
What I meant was that a WM2003 ROM of an XDAIIs can not be used on a XDAII.
I'm pretty sure I could make you a WM2003SE with blackberry support.

Do you still have any of this ROM???? If so please post it here asap as it means a lot of effort can be saved in trying to rip it.
mr puff, maybe you could share the WM2003Se?
pfft zif he'll share
IF is exists WHY hasnt anyone uploaded a WM2003SE ROM for Himalaya???
This means we get (amongst others) Landscape, plus the Possibilities of using the new Intellidialer
I would very much like to try it!!!
Puff: PLZ upload the rom package. We wont tell anyone! :wink: And we wont resell it. promise!
i'm sure someone would volunteer to get the file and upload it somewhere...
Should be nice to trie ... MR Puff or other nice guy could share your rom ...
:lol:
Is a law problem ? NDA ?
Bye

I think like edsub.
we will keep a secret and never talk to anyone about it.
People,
You are placing him in very akward position. He is probably under NDA of some kind. Those "releases" usualy very easy to track down to a particular person :roll:
Wait until some kind of "group" will release it. :twisted:
Puff we are all waiting your cooperation
please if you still have the SE ROM. :wink:
Was better don't know that there is this kind of ROM ... now we know ...
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Just a thought
Let's assume that this Himalaya SE ROM exists.
All major providers would easily have access to it.
The only reason for not releasing that, and ask people involved to sign NDAs, is to push sales of the newer hardware.
Which is an acceptable policy, from the viewpoint of a single company.
But when the good old competition works as it should, there is always one of the player breaking these situations.
If this does not happen, it is easy to guess that there is an agreement between the providers for not releasing the upgrade.
Now, that is against the law.
Just a thought, in case anyone involved in antitrust commissions would be reading this forum ...
FYI...

To Puff
could you please upload your ext.ROM ?
I hope it doesn't include in your promise to microsoft.
thank for advanced.
Hi,
I'm the proud owner of a T-Mobile MDA II with vga camera. Half an hour ago I happend to find this interesting forum.
What is this Windows Mobile 2005? I've never heard of it. I searched the Microsoft website, but I didn't find anything.
I have no idea which OS is installed on my MDA... the ROM version is 1.72.01GER (in case that helps).
So... in case I want to upgrade my MDA.... what do I have to do, where do I get the files from etc. And, what is this upgrade all about? Is it a totally new OS, or what is it? I have no idea
Thanks for your help
Bye

Hi Bauer,
I too am a newbee. Just joined this forum about a month ago. If I may give you a clue ( though I'm not an expert in it), the Windows Mobile 2005 is supposed to be the next mobile phone OS from Microsoft. It is said to have many more user-friendly features than the one you are currently using. However it has not yet been officialy released in the market (I even doubt if its ready yet). But thanks to our great Buzz Lightyear (http://buzzdev.net) we are fortunate to get the taste of the new promised features. Buzz had managed to create his own version of the said OS and named it the Magneto. Why don't you try to drill further into other area of this forum or go to http://buzzdev.net. I'm sure you'll get the idea, and as it happened to me I'm sure you'll like it too. Good Luck.
Hi again Bauer,
Regarding the question as to where to get ROM upgrade, you can try this link http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=124&Itemid=32 to get the copy of the new ROM upgrade. However you are supposed to register yourself first to be able to access the link. There (and in this forum too) you will get a clear description & instruction for the ROM upgrade.
I would also like to get this opportunity to apologize to the forum (especially to Buzz and the development team) for not being polite enough to say 'thank you' for all the work you've done. I've had no significant problem with either the upgrading process or the tweaking around with both hardware and software (incl. 3rd parties). Everything works fine with my machine since day one I did the upgrade. I love the work. Thank you all, and have a nice day.
Hi Bauer,
Spend time reading the wiki site too which will provide you with a lot of background about your new toy and the sort of things you can tweak/ develop or pick up that others have done.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Also learn to use the search function of this website as you can find most of the answers for yourself without relying upon good folk to give the same advice to the next newbee in the queue asking the same questions ('nuff said, we've all been newbees at sometime).
Once you've read relevant parts of the wiki and are comfortable that you want to risk changing your ROM (there are numerous pitfalls you risk (e.g. warrantee invalidation) and ultimately totally killing your machine if you have two left feet/ power surge/ massive bad luck etc) search these forums will educate you to the experiences of others developing/ beta testing/ exploring. Buzz's versions of WM5 are narrated a:

Remember to pay due homage to all his hard work.
Beyond that enjoy.

Hi, I first want to start by saying I have read through the entire Hermes wiki and have followed the website for about the past year, through my 8125 and now on to my 8525. Thus, I have done the necessary research but now just have a couple of questions that are best answered by the community. I apologize if I did not find a thread out there that answered this particular question, but I assure you that I tried to look for one. ANYWAY....
A couple of weeks ago my father purchased a HTC TyTN in France, I suppose, from my recommendations for my 8525. He is originally from overseas, grew up there, and has fluently spoken French his entire life, but English is the language with which he is comfortable as far as computers and phones go. Although he loves the phone, his one problem is the fact that everything is in French. He says that he can sort of navigate around but claims that most of the translation is not great, and, in addition, it is hard for me to help him out when things are called different things between our two phones.
Basically, my question is what do I have to do to make his phone in English? I am assuming that his phone is the HTC TyTN and, from looking on the ROM upgrading page, that his ROM is currently the "1.18.256.2 FRA." I know that I will have to upgrade his ROM, but which is the best, most stable one that I should upgrade his phone to? Or, is there officially released ROM's that HTC releases for TyTN users who buy their phone overseas but would prefer an operating system in English, or another language?
Again, I am sure someone will say "Read the wiki before you post something like this," but it is my father's phone (which he paid $600 for there!!) and I want to be sure I know what I am doing when I do it, rather than the way I can just play around with my 8525.
I thank everyone in advance for reading my post and for any help that anyone can provide; a mere recommendation of a ROM to any helpful suggestions would be more than appreciated! Thank you so much again, and thanks to everyone who keeps this place such a valuable community for those seeking help and, of course, those eternally seeking ways to make their phones cooler than that of the person's next to them!
Sincerely,
Brandon
Without going into a discussion on which ROM is "better" and what criteria should be used the decide the "betterness" of a particular ROM, the easiest option is to install the WWE edition of the same ROM version you have installed already.
You will need to either make the phone SuperCID, or better, use the new SSPL method.
Do you think athena will be loved as himalaya or universal?, So we will see all kind of stuff?
Yea that would be great if some of the Rom Cookers and utility Chef's were to purchase an Athena.
There are currently about 4 to 6 WM6 roms recently released in the Hermes forum. It seems a new one is released every couple of days for the last month. THis mostly in part to the new tools being released to update to SuperCID, change the Boot IPL, New Rom Kitchen's, etc.
I wish POF, Dutty, LSVW, Olipro, Buzz, Jmwright, JJ or someone would purchase or be donated an athena to create some great new ROM's as seen in the Universal, Wizard and Hermes Forums.
Let's donate to buy Ameo for Pof
Lets start donating then to anyone of them who would be interested to undertake the task
The Athena is far superior to the Hermes. But it's too expensive for most Hermes users. I fear we will never see such developer "support" as we have it for Hermes for Athena. If HTC would be clever they would donate a few review samples to xda. I guess that would not only help us but also support Athena sales.

just to let you know, HTC and Microsoft dislike XDA, so i don't think they would want to do that.
Funny right?
The produsen hate thier user....and all guru that help thier product user..

It's probably something to do with the genius hacking that takes place here such as bypassing the Country Codes, SIM locks, not to mention M$ forcing all the ROMs to be taken off this site. Still, if they had done their job in the first place there would be no need for this site!
I've found a nice alternative to HSPL here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334667&page=10 and I've asked there if anyone used it on HTC Mega with no response.
So I'm opening this thread here and maybe anyone who knows better will light us up about how we can use JumpSPL safely with HTC Mega and what is the jump address for this device?

I would wait in your place to HardSPL before you make of your phone a paperweight. ..
anybody explain why is it so dangerous ? i know only that JumpSPL is more succesful on old devices ... but why ? and what's the real difference ?!

technically HSPL is very similar to JSPL and SSPL... with just one factor difference... HSPL has overwrite protection..... finding the memory jumpmaddress is easy... but making the SPL stable for the device is tough especially since HTC has improved security on newer MFG bootloaders.... SO WAIT FOR HSPL.. or youll end up witha very expensive paperweight
Jump SPL needs a SPL to load and jump to.
Unless someone feels like patching a Stock SPL to be a SSPL then this won't work. (this is where cmonex comes in )
And for the love of God, please don't test any other devices JumpSPL / SSPLs.
Dave
Thanks for the answer.

There seems to be a significant amount of animosity in the forums of late. I'm not certain as to why this is, nor do I want to hear any reason for justification; what I do know is that it is unacceptable. Additionally, signatures that encourage negative responses simply serve to fuel this type of conduct; such as your current signature:
"The next person who asks for it to be rushed will have to have their Mega surgically removed from a very unpleasant place."
@ALL:
XDA is about bringing together folks who have similar passions about mobile technology. As the forum is accessed worldwide, you will encounter all types of folks from different walks of life; some of these folks will be extremely technical, others not. In all cases, it is the responsibility of all members to remain respectful of one another. We all have different opinions, we do not all have the same level of knowledge, and some folks are looking to feel like they are learning while trying to contribute.
Please show maturity and professionalism by responding with helpful and constructive information. There is absolutely no reason to respond in a rude tone or to make someone feel stupid ... it is not constructive and serves no purpose.
I would remind members that the best moderation is self-moderation.
