atm my xdaII o2 is dead, it is getting sent in for repair soon, and it was sent in before, they said my mobo was dead, because i tried to upgrade to 2005 (off the O2 website) (i think, not sure, done too much to remember)
they tell me the XDAII does not work with WM2005, so i will be either getting 2003 or 2003se instead. I dearly want to upgrade to wm2005 for more features, but dont want to risk my XDA dying again. should i try to upgrade again, or not? (first my GSM died then my operating system hung at O2 splash screen, eventually rendered my entire ppc useless)
are there any specific ROMS to look for and/ or any specific pitfalls to lookout for, or should i just do without updating and just deal with WM2003?
thankyou all in advance!
ps. if they just upgrade me to wm2003se is that close enough to wm2005 or, is there much difference?
thanks
the wm2005 ppl can get on himalaya is a leaked BETA version it's not the finished version
i doubt you found it on o2's site
since the last official himalaya version released in english is 2003 version 1.7X
many ppl run the beta 2005 and the manualy translated unofficial english 2003SE
buzzdev.net
for 2005 beta
hey, thanks for the reply, it straightened out a lot for me
now, does anyone know if 2005 is being released at all on XDA II?
or is there 2003SE available for official download?
thanks again
Imate have officialy state long agoe that no device which were not sold with 2005 will have it released later on
non of the others that i heard of stated anything other then some stating that no new rom updates would be made for older devices at all
the only official version of 2003SE there is in chinese
and have been altered by ppl on this site to be translated to english
thanks so much for the information, rudegar, you walking library you :
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
When I registered with this forum I was presented with a list of possible XDA II models that I could select that is used to indicate to others what model I have. Unfortunately my version is not in the list. Here are the specs:
R 1.17.00
G 1337.28
D 1.72.01ger (This is a german OS)
The OS doesn't say "Windows Mobile 2003" but rather:
Microsoft Pocket PC
Version 4.20.0 (Build 14053)
My XDA II has 128 MB of RAM.
I would like to know whether its possible to upgrage my OS to Windows Mobile 2005. The english version would be fine. I don't want the german version anyway. I've read a lot of posts but it isn't entirely clear whether it's really possible. Does upgrading only work with some version of the XDA II and beyond that version while not working for versions prior to it? Or can this upgrade be made to any version of the XDA II?
Can someone point me to something that would give me a strong sense of assurance that it is possible. Without this assurance I won't chance it. Last thing I need is a dead phone. The major reason I want to upgrade is to eliminate the problem of losing everything if the battery dies or is removed.
Thanks for your help.
yes

believe there is a german one too
Have you or do you know anyone who has *successfully* installed Windows Mobile 2005 on a version of the XDA II that I have or an older version in a language other than english?
if you go to the window 2005 forum in the himalaya group it's almost mainly users who installed 2005 on their himalaya devices
well that and ppl who did it on their blue angel too
"XDA II that I have or an older version in a language other than english?"
not 100% sure what you are saying here
if you by version mean himalaya or if you are talking about your rom version if the later rom version have nothing to do with it really
if you mean device as in himalaya then roms hare 100% made for a device windows mobile is not like normal windows
so the rom for himalaya is MADE for himalaya
and about language then it's a part of the rom only if you change rom you change language to the language of the rom you change to
i am using imate pocket pc (himalaya i assume) for couple of years now, working good, i assume it is using mobile windows 2003, i have few queries, as i total newbie in this,
1) when we upgrade rom which i did couple of times from imate site, is that rom contains only upgrade pactches or whole mobile windows
2) can this phone be upgraded to new mobile windows 5 or 6 available in the new models, if yes is there any simple exe program like upgrade roms available in exe format to do this easily
i will be very thankful if someone can suggest any guide or method
thanks
yes
the rom packets in the himalaya forum wm6 and wm5 include everything
and a step by step guide how you do it
it's super easy

Problems
Ok, To better help the folks that want to help you.
Please explain what you did to get to your current problem and
what you have done since the problem started.
Here are some generic tips:
-if you started with a stock x7500/7501 did you perform the Hard SPL procedure? If Yes, cool. (if not you need to do that 1st!!)
-did you try to flash directly to one of the current wm6.5 roms. if so you made a mistake, try flashing to a factory rom (most of the current roms are intende for Athenas that have SPL 3.5x, when SPL 3.5x is installed it re-partitions the rom space to allow support of the newer/larger roms than the stock SPL 1.2x) If you have SPL 3.5x then you may have another issue.
-To get SPL 3.5x you need to flash The AP4 rom (I do not recall if olinex created a stand alone tool to do this).
I hope this primer helps.

Hi man, for Official ROM, is 6.1 only.
Read the basics (sticky posts), choose any ROM available, try it, make your own mind. Moderators, please close this rubbish thread.
