Please, answer me soon.
Thank you,

jontxudino: I don't think you need to cross post (ie same thread more than once).
I've never tried the Himalaya, but as I understand it, if you're happy with the screen, the Magician is a perfectly competent WM2003 device. I love it. But if you want an upgradeable device, or a bigger screen, Himalaya is meant to be quite good.

Himalaya better
Himalaya can upgrade to WM5, Magician cannot
Hi. Lets start by saying great site! I've been reading solid for two days now, and i'm ready to start playing with flashing my XDA iii.
However, problem. I have an XDAiii on O2 UK, which as far as I can tell from this site and an hours worth of googling means it is a Blueangel. But... when i try and run any blueangel updaters i get wrong phone type errors, so i tried the Himalaya ones, and they work. My device 'looks' like the images of Himalaya models, but I keep reading things like ''Blueangel, sold as XDAiis and XDAiii.'' and ''Himalaya, sold as XDAii''
So which is it? Blueangel or Himalaya? and if it is Blueangel, why won't they work?
Don't know if its any use, but here's the info from the boot screen
r 1.00.00
g 1337.39
d 1.11.00 wwe
Fingers crossed for a definitive answer, so I can start playing!
Thanks in advance

A guy from UK who claims to be official "Orange phone trainer" (Orange is a mobile operator in UK) claims that Orange Academy both Microsoft trainer and Orange employees were claiming that ROM upgrade for Orange SPV M500 Pocket PC phone (also for C550 smartphone) is coming.
If this would happen, then also users of other HTC Magician phones (like i-mate JAM, T-Mobile MDA Compact, Vodafone VPA Compact, Qtek S100, etc):
... would also be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0!
as posted under the smartphone main section, I was at the Orange Academy today. Good news to come from the event is that Microsoft and Orange are currently busy preparing a WM5 upgrade for both the C550 and the M500!
We were obviously told not to tell the general public, as they want us to push the C600 and the M5000, but for existing owners, this is fantastic news
I own an M500 and he was blatantly waving one around in front of my eyes saying "Both these devices will have WM5 on them in the coming months..."
So god knows.. he did seem to know what he was talking about tho, being a MS Trainer and all.
Hersh...
thats great news, and no rumors like that ever appeared in these foruns... now I will finally be able to choose between WM5 and my pre-installed vista OS with a ps3 emu on my s110!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Im not saying it is or not possible just F***ING STOP POSTING ABOUT IT, RELEASE IT OR SAY NOTHING!
Even fakes are more welcome than those crappy posts "it is possible, one day it will work", "i think i have, oh wait, nop. i really dont understand english (wait, how did i manage to register here?)", "they relased it for my ipod, why not for magician?", "we can do it, if we just talk about it ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!"
When it comes out, if ever, IT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE POST!
In the meantime, if you really want WM5 or 6 or 7, go buy an expensive phone with half the mhz and more RAM that WM5 doesnt let you use, just because it has that damm gps you really have much use for and its not to show-off all your friends.
Rumour!!!!!!!!!
I believe this rumour came out about a year ago from another forum, and still nothing. i will see it when i believe it.
Don't think it's going to happen. The only way that this device will get WM5 is if someone cooks a successful rom.
Unfortunately, it's just another rumour ... read original post here:

im pretty sure that this is an MDA Compact II or the HTC Charmer and not a magician, because i find it illogical that a telco will still produce a rom upgrade for a very old device which no retailer is selling anymore, and while i still entertain the thought that it may be an unofficial WM5 Rom, still, i would doubt it. Such a rom would have been posted already here.
rumour rumour rumour.....its all fake people !
What a pity!
All the best and beautiful new programs are coming out only for WM5 amd WM6!
It is better to hear no information instead of misinformation. There will never be WM5 on magician .
Come on now, I have been reading WM5 posts for Magician from a year. Fed up now. Magician is a very old device. Dont think there will be a WM5 for it. Even WM6 is released long back. So if Magician had to have a WM5, it would have come out long back.
Why dont you guys try to load Google's Android on Magician. Would be much better

Hi, I am new here and to windows mobile. I just purchased a HTC Tornado and I am looking for a thread that tells me how to upgrade it from WM5 to WM6. The problem is, when I search for HTC Tornado all the threads show a different Tornado phone then what I have. I have the HTC Tornado from Tmobile. Would I upgrade it the same way you upgrade the Tornado I keep seeing in this section?? Do I have a older model or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I attached a picture of the Torando that I have.
Thanks
You have a regular Tornado, simply the music edition. It's identical to mine and you can use without problem any of the WM6 that are available here
The insides are the same as the tornado, T-Mobile just puts their case on it. Many companies do the same.
I have the exact same version. Also called SP5m for the music edition. Be *very* careful to burn only those ROMS made for the Tornado. HTC Faraday for example looks very similar and many people have "bricked" their phone (made it totally useless) by installing that ROM.
Good luck.
Thanks for the help guys.. Anyone know where I can view a help section for newbs? I take it ROMS are programs?? And when you say my Tornado is the music edition, the other tornado can't play music? Can I update from WM5 right to WM6?
Thanks
It is the same HTC Tornado as any other. It has the exact same specs and features. The only differenece is the case. You can use any ROM for HTC Tornado.
other tornado don't have special buttons(play, next, previous), but they play music just the same as your SP5m does. ROMs are programs to upgrade your OS(operating system), it's like changing the PC OS from XP to Vista having a special software to help you do that more easily, there is no forum/section for newbs, as an advice, read all FAQs and other instructions here in Tornado section, and when you think you are ready - upgrade you WM5 to WM6, but if you aren't sure in smth better ask here before you make a step in nowhere..
good luck
Is there any big advantages to upgrade WM5 to WM6? Hard to do for a newb?
WM6 is lot better than WM5. I like it lot more. And it is not hard to upgrade to WM6. Basically you just need to superCID your phone, format BINFS and run the ROM Update Utility. Read this for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324557
Thanks for the help. My phone should be here anyday now. Can't wait to mess around with it Is there anywhere anyone knows of where I can get newbie info on all the terms such as SuperCID, BINFS etc..
try the wiki. Look at the links at the top of the forums.
Hey guys does know one knows where i can find Qtek 9100 WM6?
i posted more than one Post and didnt get answer
Please
I guess you just have to open your eyes abd READ! It's here everywhere, and even 6.1 popped up a few weeks ago...
i didnt find any
Can you please direct me to the one i want
i did looked and i am nob with PDA
from the XDA Wiki page - the HTC Wizard is sold under the following names...
Sold as HTC P4300
Qtek 9100
Qtek A9100
I-mate K-JAM
T-Mobile MDA Vario
T-Mobile MDA (US)
O2 XDA Mini S
Orange SPV M3000
Cingular 8125
Dopod 838
VPA compact II
So, if your phone ( Qtek 9100 ) is in the list above - then the roms here will work.
So long as you have completed the unlocking process - ensuring you are aware of your phones details ( G3 or G4 model ) etc.
There are some sticky posts at the top of the site that explain in great detail everything required to proceed.
Read them carefully, it is your phone - and your responsibility if anything goes wrong.
Good luck
where is de WM 6 ?
ok, Qtek 9100 is a HTC manufactured phone called 'Wizard' supplied to many vendors/cellular networks all over the world,they sell these phones with their own brands,models and OS,like Qtek,T-mobile,Htc,cingular,i-mate....etc,etc.But the basic device and features are the same and use the same Windows Mobile interface and Rom.
Therefore,all the Roms build for wizards are meant for every brand/model of a 'Wizard' device.Got my point ?
Well,if you are looking for official Qtek 9100 wm6 Rom,then better look in the official website of the carrier of your phone.
All wm6 or wm6.1 roms here are for every brand/model of a wizard.You'll find many excellent wm6 and wm6.1 custom build roms here from many cookers e.g TNT series,Xda Mobile 6,NBD,Jaguar etc etc,they all are cooked for Wizard phones,ok
Cheers!
is the WM6 in Qtek website are free?
is there is any good WM 6 for my device lets me know please
i wanna download and update my device
Frankly, if your phone is fine at the moment and you're such a noob, then I suggest not to upgrade!
WM6 was never officially released for the Wizard, so don't look at the Qtek site, all you'll find is WM5 Roms.
As for a WM6.1 Rom, check either the last one by its right (TNT) or that by Merlin (Slim).
But please READ the Wiki before all!

I can understand that you don't speak the language but I don't understand why you don't read the sticky posts.
I suggest you to leave your device alone before you brick it.
I'll close this thread and don't bother starting a new one.
Read the following sticky if you still want to go through with this : How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!
Notice: "Wizard" is your device name(just like the people before me tried to tell you)
