new pocket pc - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

Hello, guys.
in short: i recieved a T-mobile MDA compact pocket pc as a gift. It has german windows installed and it's all i know about it..
problem is that i barely understand german :roll:
i want to upgrade to an english version and get info about this pocket pc (what is the ROM? software, hardware info), but in pocket pc's software i'm pretty newbie. i've tried to search through this forum for information and i've tried several manuals, but all instalations ends up with "please reconnect your pocket pc"
please post any threads, web manuals or anything, where can i find needed information . thanks in advance...

It sounds like you're on the right track - but go here for the full guide (for EXE ROMs only):

And for the purposes of Windows Mobile PDAs, consider ROMs to be the 'operating system file', a file from which a version of Windows Mobile can be installed onto your PDA.

thanks looks like should work, i'll try it soon :]

Looking for a PDA that can...

Sorry i know nothing about PDA's.
Basically i need a Windows based PDA which has the following features:
MS Word, Excel (& Access would be nice but not essential).
Large screen but a smallish handheld device.
Keyboard (preferable a flip/slide out one).
Comes with a cradle or has the option for a cradle for quick data transfer to pc.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm sure the K-JAM aka Wizard comes to most people's mind.
There's a forum dedicated to this device- check it out
...and on T-Mobile that would be the MDA Vario.

any tools for hacking the restriction code of Palm750(sfr)?

any tools for hacking the restriction code of Palm750v(sfr)?
p.s: I am a rookie of smartphone,and i dont know how to install software in the phone. can somebody help? thks
well its not a smart phone its a ppc phone... that could help with installing programs.. and can you be more specific in your question?
@Kr3st Smartphone is a generic term for any phone that has computer or pda functionality. Don't let Microsoft's redefinition of an already defined term confuse you. (search wikipedia for smartphone if you don't believe)
@ddsoft Most software for the Palm750 or other Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) devices comes as part of a windows installer. You first need to install Microsoft Activesync on your computer. Most WM5 programs come with a windows installer and have a .exe ending. If it has an .exe ending, run it on your desktop computer (after installing Activesync) It will lead you through the installation and tell you that it will be installed on your mobile device the next time it is synchronized. (In this case with the USB cable that came with your Treo).
Less often you might find a program that is downloadable as a .cab file. Cab files do not have windows installers and need to be copied to the Treo. When you click on the .cab file in "file explorer" you will be greeted with a simple install screen.
What restriction code do you mean?

Thks for helping. For the Activesync that comes with my treo, I just find it useless for me. Well I mean I never spot an programe of .exe. And for the cab files, I did download a lot from the websites, but when I launch them in my treo, my treo indicates that it can't extract them. So i have been thinking about whether I have made a mistake or sth...
For the restriction code, what i mean is that the phones here in French are all locked by their companies. For example, a phone that sold in SFR could be just used with a SFR sim carte,not the Orange or others. So i have been checking a lot of these stuffs, finally i heard that there is a code called "restriction code" . By hacking it, we could use any other sim cartes from all the companies. So i wonder if someone have a tools for it...
Thanks.

Noob questions

Hi all, after reading a thread on windows vista (I have home premium, 32bit), I am a little shaky about flashing my brand new htc fuze. Is there anyone out there that can give me the idiot guide to the process I need to follow to get the mercury rom into my phone? As I said in an earlier post, I am fairly computer literate, but after reading some conflicting info on here and seeing so many different options for just setting up the flash (programs for the pc to make the flash work) I am kind of baffled. The last thing I need is a brand new shiny 300 dollar paperweight. Any help or shared experiences would be awesome, and thanks ahead of time!
Welcome to forums
If you follow instructions here all will be ok:

Good luck,
Another question, microsoft says to use mobile device center since I have vista instead of active sync. Does the mobile device center work for flashing? The flashing your first gsm sticky says to use active sync. This is of the discrepancies I was worried about after reading the vista issues sticky.
Flashing should work fine with Windows Mobile Device Center. I've been flashing my Kaiser on 64-bit Windows 7 and 32-bit Vista for weeks, without any problems, so I wouldn't worry too much.
Dave
I use Windows Mobile Device Center for any flashing I do.
I have a HTC Touch (elfin) and the WMDC works fine.
Ive flashed roms through it using windows vista and windows 7.

Synchronisation throught SkyDrive (WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.3)

Hello everyone,
I watched an interesting TV commercial yesterday showing a kind of live synchronisation between a Win7 computer and a Windows Phone 7 phone.
The stunning thing was that all changes performed at the PC came to the phone at once!
Here's the spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXg4sZ8IUXI
Is this also possible under WM 6.5 or 6.5.3?
I have just read through some threads and they told that the programs used are OneNote 2010 Mobile / Desktop version and synchronisation via SkyDrive.
Some users mentioned this would not work under older WM versions since it is not compatible. Can anyone help and provide some more information concerning that issue?
Thanks in advance!
I use GoodSync for that (My Documents), but this isn't exactly what you're looking for.
