Hi
(First post, done lots of reading though!)
I have an iMate JAM and really want an update for WM5.0.
Don't think there's any chance of an official one (B*****DS!!), but I'm sure you clever XDA ROM fanatic types can come up with a way to make one.
Is there a way to merge the drivers from the latest Magician ROM with the WM2005 Himalaya leaked OS? Surely the hardware can't be THAT different that big changes need to be made.
Taking it a step further, maybe updated files from the new PPC non-phone edition ROM updates could be incorporated to make it more stable.
I've been hunting through google and a few foreign pages seem to mention there being a leaked magician beta rom in the early days, can anyone confirm this?
I'll let someone who knows their stuff disprove me now!
If anyone HAS managed to get anywhere with cooking a ROM for WM5.0, let us know here
Cheers,
Joe
Why does no one reply to these types of posts?
If you look on the Himalayas forum, the people there managed to get WM2005 on their XDA II...how come we can't get it on our Magicians?
maybe the wand doesnt work
i want WM 5.0. IS IT REALLY IMPOSSIBLE, OR MIGHT COME SOON
I saw some forum said that WM5.0 doesn't work on iMate-JAM (O2 mini Dopod 818), they said there are many function is abnormal, eg. the carmera, GPRS, etc.
May we need time waiting xda-developers can release a suitable WM5.0ROm for iMate JAM (O2 mini , Dopod) fans to upgrade.
As i knows it posible but now no one can do i think becouse WM50 it spcial
for HIMALAYA "HARDWARE"
now only waiting original WM5.0 form microsoft
Yeah, the fact that we Himalaya users are now using WM5.0 is thanks to somebody that stumbled with a XDA2 with WM5.0 preloaded and was kind enough to share it with us...
Of course there where some tweaking and modifications involved, but the thing is that there was an XDA2 with WM5.0 already installed.
Nothing there yet ?
NO!

The original WM5.0 from Microsoft is available for download..

Good luck in writing your own drivers to ALL of the hardware in your device!
I sure hope you have detailed information on memory adresses and such..
No, seriously..
We won't see a Magician WM2K5 ROM before it's been leaked or official..
There is just too many hardware things that we do not know!
I would love to be proven wrong, but I don't think that will happen!
And if you searched the forums, YOU WOULD KNOW THIS!!!

WTF ? I asked if somebody had more news yet, it could be that a rom was leaked out.
I didn't ask for you to make one, i was just wondering if nobody hasn't found a rom with WM05 :shock:

Hey all
I've noticed a LOT of the newer devices have the AKU 3 update installed and on these forums theres a few devices which have had aku3 updates cooked for them!
im wondering if theres any interest in developing one for the tornado range of devices, theres a lot of people who use this device and i reckon it would be quite good!
I'm up for cooking a rom, but i dont know where to start learning, i have virtually nil programming knowledge, only HTML!
so post back if you would be interested in cooking a rom and if you CAN cook a rom!
Hey
OK, i've got a load of free time now, so ANYONE who is willing to help develope a new ROM for the Tornado, post here and collect our knowledge!
i'm going to be reading up on most of the theory today so i can figure out whats what.

Where do you get AKU3 rom ? link ?
salaam
I was considering extracting the AKU3 update from a different smartphone, like say the I-mate SPL (the RAZR-esque one) and then would it not just be a straightforward, swap out of drivers, like swap display, keyboard, joystick, hardware buttons over in place of the ones that come originally with the i-mate spl rom?
if people have managed it by adapting a benq rom for the himalaya (im assuming they just replaced the drivers for ones compatible with the Himalaya)
could anybody elaborate on this?
thanx
i know almost the whole process of dumping the rom, modifying it.. but i cant compile the final product. has anybody managed to compile the "dump" folder?
Hi, i sure hope the great genious arond here can figure this out.
Well, it looks to be official, HTC is rolling out WM6 upgrades for some of their devices (as we all may have heard). Here are the current devices that are initially planned:
HTC Advantage
HTC TyTN
HTC S620
HTC P4350
HTC P3300
http://www.solopalmari.com/images/stories/007/04/WM6_statement_.pdf
But, there is somewhat of a silver lining. If you read the .pdf in the link, it may not be limited to just those phones. There will be no upgrade fees for the carriers, so it's up to the carriers discretion to release the upgrade for whatever devices they deem "worthy". I would think the best way to go about getting it released for the Wizard would be to contact your carriers and request it. If they get enough requests, I can guarantee they'll make that upgrade available.
Despite having some great releases from some great chefs, it would make cooking that much better with an official OS release.
At any rate, CALL YOUR CARRIERS!!

I hoped to get a more special answer. When you take a datasheet of both - it is the same. Just the camera and teh thicknes. So what is really different. And if people can crossover a hermes rom to wizard it must be possible to crossover a herald to wizard. becuse it is same function than wizard.
So what is the difference?

"New OS build contains not whole files from tytn's rom, but more of them.
As i said before: camera is oem application and couldn't work on wizard. And i rebuild some modules from tytn's rom by myself to force it to work.
Im going to finish my tests of that rom, but i can say now that it has very good perfomance. It works like a charm.

Good Morning Terry
Thank you for your email
I am not aware at present of any Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade options being made available for our XDA devices including the XDa Mini S in the very near future. Historically speaking O2 has only provided ROM upgrades on the existing OS and has never provided OS upgrades on any of the XDA devices. Please monitor the website link attached below for future upgrades.

Kind regards

Maybe. But all based on mun are not real WM6 - and perhaps i´m one of the "I don´t believe someone´s telling until i see"-people. But Faria mention a lot what he knows and what will come.

hey
how about, everybody on here gets together and 'badgers' or (requests, to put it nicely! ) a specific operator for the rom update?
rather than 10 people each asking 10 diff operators, lets just get together and ask one, would be more likely, and either way, once we have one official update in our hands, thats all we need really!
how bout it then chaps?!(and chap-esses)

That seems like a good plan to me. What operator did you have in mind? We should probably pick one that has traditionally been more open to upgrades in the past. That would definitely rule out Cingular/ATT here in the US.
Also, papamopps, give Dr. P. some respect and credit on the issue of what OS is based on what device. If anyone would know, he would.

I don´t wanted to blame anyone - espacially no Dr. P - I know he is a guru.
I only have some little problems with Faria´s behavio the last time. And i´m not alone with this.
Btw they´re doing great WORK and we all need it. Thanks to any Rom-cooker.

No offense was taken by me. As for Faria, yes he can be a little *****y, most genius's are.. Please realize though that he DOES "butter our bread", along with others. And he DOES endure a lot of nonsense and crap. Myself, I wouldn't have come back after some of crap that he (and me in a VERY small way) have taken here.....
Now, back to the OP! I doubt that Cingular is going to be of any help, morons... I WILL say that I've seen more come from T-Mobile regarding official updates with the Wizard (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)
I would vote for T-Mobile too. O2 suck for updates.
Hi,
Is there anyone who knows if it's possible to upgrade my old Qtek9100 to WM6 (english) and how (mini installations guide)?
If this is possible do anyone know if it's possible to install HTC Home Plugin a la HTC Touch on my Qtek9100?
Look forward hearing from all of you...
Sure that you can upgrade to WM6 (because I, am a newbie, did it my self). Just follow instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
Do EXACTLY step-by-step and it'll naturally done, not complicated at all!
About HTC Touch & Plugin, i dont know because have never used. I'll try later...
The best thing is to READ first then ask questions...
One more useless topic!
Sigh...
thanks a lot
...but where do I find the WM6 for my Qtek9100 or is it the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM (and is this in german) who is the WM6? If not do you know if I can have free WM6 for my Qtek9100?

Oh no you can't! WM6 for the Wizard would cost you at least a hundred bucks...

Dear Quiyaro
OK I didn't know that and maybe this is why I ask. I hope not I get you to be angry because it's seems that I did that. I have been trying to find out by reading but I can't find the answers I looking for therefore I'm asking again.
In the first place I was only asking if I could upgrade my Qtek9100 from WM5 to WM6 and I got a long list of things that I should do before but nobody told me before you that I should buy a WM6 also.
Thanks in advance. I think I'll drop to upgrade my PDA because it seems to be a little bit to complicated for me but if you can help me I'll be glad anyway...

hope they manage to make one for the i600, would be great.
Btw, is there a how-to to flash it to 6.1? I could actually miss the wifi part. And how to flash back?
Thanks
wessel: i emailed samsung but they couldnt tell anything, as expected..
Err, the Korean version of the Blackjack has WiFi. Consider it the Blackjack 1.5. Someone released a cooked WM6.1 for it today, adding Korean support, but unfortunately no support for WiFi (and I still can't ever get text messages to work with cooked roms, if only I better knew Korean).

Hello, I'm the author of the ROM's over at txcaesar. Is there a serious tester here that is willing to put their i600 to some flashing experimentation?
I do not have the device, but I have enough knowledge to port the ROM from i607 (which is itself ported from another device) - however I will need a handful of people to do some intense private testing before releasing it 'to the wild' - if you are interested, please register an account over at txcaesar and make a post in the "Contribute to the ROM" section that you are willing to help test. Once we get a handful of testers, I will cook it up

I've been trying to work out whether I can (or not) upgrade my Magician (iMate Jam) to WM6.5, but found out 1) that search is (semi?)broken, and 2) that you guys use a hell of a lot of lingo that I don't understand.... So please, can someone tell me whether I can upgrade a Magician model to WM6.5, and if so, could you please point me to relevant tutorials/downloads? Hopefully I'd be able to understand them, it's not like I'm afraid to tinker.
TIA!

If you cook your own ROM you can.

All is matter of reading and searching
have a look on your device section on the forum, perhaps someoene already have a 6.5 ROM
Here , R1 is 6.5. But it is for 128 machines only. To put a 6.5 on a 64 machine would leave so little ram, the phone would be unusable.
