Hi,
I live in India and a local dealer of O2 phones during a telecon. stated that he can upgrade my ROM to Windows Mobile 5.0. I was really shocked as I went through this forum and many places that WM5.0 is not available. I might have asked him atleast 5 times that is it meant for O2 Mini and he says yes. He would do it for a price of 1200 INR. Would you want me to go for it and whats the gueninity of it. If its succesful can I make a SD ROM backup of it and upload it in the forum. Please advice what can be done and it involves cost of Rs. 1200 and I dont want to waste it.
KIRAN
Sure!
Of course you sould go ahead! After that please write here whether it works or not and if it works you can upload it here. I believe it's possible because there are also another versions of Magician available - they have weaker CPU (Samsung 195 MHz I think), EDGE and WM5. So try and tell us.
kiran1103: is this the original wm2003 Magician, or one of the updates?

Be careful, most people believe that no release version (or unrelease version!) of WM5 has ever been made available for the original HTC Magician. If you can get hold of it, show the guy your phone first and get a guarantee it will work on your phone.
Make sure it's an operating system upgrade, not just Wisbar or a new skin. Get him to show you it on another working phone first, and make sure you know how to check (try soft resetting and check rom version etc, and the "about" option in control panel).
If you can get WM5 for the Magician, I'm sure there are people here who will help copy it off your phone, and I'm sure there are other people who will donate money to cover your costs :wink:
I would advise not going ahead with it until you're sure and have seen it working.

Sorry, the CPU is TI OMAP 850, not a Samsung ...
I guess that this is another bullsh1t about upgrading to winmobile 2005 :x
You should knoww that there is no windows mobile 2005 for magican and it was discussed for millions times :!: :!: :!:
I don't belive this!
Just make sure and see for yourself it running... that would be the best upgrade ever to the magician all in all... not much faith here but it's never bad to try...

Maybe this dealer is the guy who PM'ed me couple of days ago. He asked me where to download WM5 for Magician. Maybe he found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24780
I answered him, sure I can give him the download address, if he paypals me 500 US$ ;-)
Maybe he now looks how to get money for the investment...

You can easy use JAFWM for that, sofware is not free but it is working with original roms and it is quite easy to use for every one.
One dongle costs 49 euro plus delivery. Kannst mich in china anrufen, ich spreche auch deutsch +86-13825242400
If you have many, you can buy few dongles or i can make you a custom sofware which can flash up to 16 pieces simultanous flashing with one pc but this is quite expensive since it is a proffesional tool wich we never used in public, we only wrote it for our own proposes to be used in our service centre in china.
hehe, test by me ok 100%. JAFWM work very well. After update Pkey, u can flash Prophet softly.
I repaired die NEO with bootloader 2.0 ok now. Thanks Raskal for this good products
here is the image, the next step that I choose ms and radio file for flashing another BA PPC.
@Raskal: pls add me to your reseller list. I asked Thomas many time already but maybe he forgot.

Hardly surprising. It has nearly always been that electronics for sale in the US at USDxxx are sold in the UK at GBPxxx. Now with a 1.x exchange rate with EUR companies will do the same thing. There is nothing cheap at all in the UK imho.
Some people are just so clear cut on the topic. What is there to see about the page?
kevino: I think it depends on the price of the subcsription you are signing up to.

WM2005 on the Magician.
Only problem: this is NOT the Magician...
Cheers

INDEED
Yes NOW WM2005 EXISTS for the Magician, just a matter of time before Buzzdev, Pug or anybody from our cult WM2005 providers could port this or confirm this.
mstarkar: what makes you think this is the magician, other then the cosmetic appearance? There should be a fine for getting excited about this kind of stuff on this board...
oh look, Elvis has been re-released!

Oh please, just look at the nr of buttons & the features page, clearly not a prophet (lacks the wi-fi), not sure about the charmer though... I'm really convinced it's a re-styling of the magician... Could be wrong though (the page I mean )...
It said "Mobile MDA Compact II Graphite", MDA Compact 2 is a Charmer. I'm holding one now if you want more convincing. End of discussion
in case windows mobile 5 they were testing it on xda II ( whatver the code name is) and it was leaked and they got it on their device I'm hoping or praying rather that they are testing their next operating system `crossbow or photon' on htc magician and that would balance things out so much in the long run because I will be having the same handset till then also as not every now and then I can spend 800$ odd ( inr 34000) wm 2003se does most of the things anyway and with flexmail 2007 it pushes mail also .gprs i do voip with some sucess only thing i would be missing is going to be video call ( who am i kidding ). telcos in india are still laying the network , they are going to pay the licencing fees and 3g is going to expensive . till then the new buzzing device would be with the spec sheet like gprs, edge ,umts,hsdpa twin camera , 4gb memory tv out, gps , qwertyboard . Mid 2007 would be nice time to make choice . what Am i missing in magician anyway (just a little edge ha ! pun intended ). There is one thing about windows product cycle wheteher desktop OS there are so many updates and patches happening .it makes people waiting for new things or patches forever A recent study also showed that pda's which are supposed to increase the produtivity by having all the info at one place and pim's etc . people are more into finding about their current pda or new pdas and constantly new softwares and searching more about it . with so much time spending to find `about it' negates the time saved and gained productivity aspect of it ' .
I have look it in http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-313145-1-1.html
I don't know is it true

RUMOUR CONTROL:
V speaking here:
Guys the board is getting an increasing amount of legal attention and the Moderators and Admins have discussed this, and we are not prepared to host or directly link to downloads of Crossbow at this time.
Please don't upload it to the XDA ftp without speaking to a moderator. This isn't about being clever, it's about staying legal.
Those who want it know who's got it.... [please don't write to me asking for copies. I don't have it]
PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD OR LINK to this file for now.
This will be a bannable offence, 1 warning only
Also, please be aware.
There are crossbow roms out there that will permanently lock your phone radio and cause potential bricking. Use caution.

"We have been contacted by microsoft, they let us knwo that the version of windows mobile also known as crossbow on our servers is in violation of their copyrights.
Therefore we have / will remove(d) all copies from our servers."
I wouldn't change the threads but just make clear the files will no longer be there, there is no need to remove everything that has been discussed about crossbow simply because M$ askes us to remove the files, we're allowed to disscuss it
faria
looks real to me
they are talking about releasing the rom!(translated from chinese to english)
i can't sleep tonight!
Page has vanished

Just wondering, your sig says you have the HTC Titan, I currently have it as well (Telus HTC P4000). I found the next line interesting as it says you have windows mobile 6. Just wondering: How'd you manage to get your hands on that? I'm still stuck with wm5.
Sprint and Verizon versions in the US will ship with WM6.
P4000
I am thinking of buying the p4000, and am very interested in the prospect of upgrading to WM6. Obviously no one at Telus has any idea about what I am talking about when I ask them. So, I ask you guys, is it reasonable to expect a WM6 from this community?
In the interim, would the iPhone skin I see be compatible with the P4000 (titan).
Thank you for your time

Newbie - just got HTC / Verizon flavor 6800
So I have to admit that this forum is great. I just recieved my WM6 Pro Verizon flavor xv6800 HTC device yesterday. I see there are ROMs for about every flavor of GSM based devices... are there any for the CDMA based ones or does it matter? I'm anxious to get the TouchFlo app if it's available via CAB and not a ROM if possible.
So... Verizon's CDMA based HTC is finally in the wild as of 11/28/07 for business accounts and expected in stores by Dec 5th!

Got my Palm Treo 500v days ago, with Chinese Rom flashed in it, which I really hate a lot.
I dumped the chinese rom out in a nb0 format sized 74.0 MB (77,594,624 bytes), and some friend dumped a Palm Treo 500v english rom for me, and i've been trying to flash the english rom into mine.
Follows the problem: How Should I Start All This?
I tried to press down+power, and succeeded in entering BL mode, top of the screen says:EBOOT Ver:V4.0.0 ExtROM:ENG(capture see below)

thx, enigma1nz, some friends tried a lot, we really need luck
You need to find a forum dealing with Palm systems, not HTC Universal or HTC overall.
yo man, I know it's a wrong-place-thread but I've solve your problems. But I didn't update the rom, I just restore a backup file of an English-rom-palm 500v in to a Chinese-rom-palm 500v. I used Spb backup and restore in normal mode. After the phone was restored with english backup file, it's display english, everywhere, everything.
But there's one problems. The default sms and mail application didnt work. Your phone still can receive mail, sms but you cant open them, and compose new or reply. So I installed threader6standard, a freeware you can google, then I can compose, send Sms as usually. I havent tried any mail application yet but I think it's ok.
Anyway try to do a search here and maybe asking again

hi, kkxd & orb3000, thx for your reply.

Palm 500 is really a excellent product.But there is no official roms.
