iPAQ 3870 software Upgrade HELP! - General Topics

Hi everybody! I'm new here. Please i need your help! I've got a PDA Compaq iPAQ 3870 with pocket pc 2002 premium, and i want do upgrate to 2005, as i want to use my device with a gps. Is it possible to do this? Can you gave me directions urls/pages/websites, where can i find it?
Thks a lot!!!

roms have to be 100% made for a device to work
so unless hp made 2005 for that device no dice

Hi Rudegar! Tkhs for your reply. Anyway i ask you, is there an upgrade that i can do, in a way that the iPAQ 3870 works well with a gps and respectivly a software (ex: Tom Tom, or other). Tks again!!!

dont have any idear i think hp sell or let ppl download their rom upgrades
and if this or any other site had [email protected] warez versions of hp roms they would most likely try to get this site closed
so your best bet is to look at hp's site

Hello again!! Tks again for your prompt reply. I'am going to follow your hint, and go to hp site. Tak!!!!!!

Help !!! Hp Ipaq 3870 upgrade to 2003.
Searching for ages this firmware.Could anyone help me where can i get the latest firmware for hp ipaq 3870.The 2003 firmware.Drop me the links to downloads.Thanks a million.

The only firmware update for the 38xx series is WM2003. If you don't find it (it may be long removed from Compq/ HP's pages), look around on eBay or P2P networks. (The latter is legal with discontinued, not-otherwise-available products.)

Updates for the 3870 from 2002 to 2003 (Not SE) are still available via Ebay, I bought one not to long back for a 3970, pay no more than a couple of quid for it, seriously some will try and charge you nearer £40.

Where to find IPAQ Rom?

Hi,
My uncle has an Ipaq 3630 and the os is German. He wants to use in Eng. I looked on the web but cant find any rom update for 3630.
Anybody knows that where can I find ipaq 3630 roms?
Thanks
hmmm iirc the iPAQ 36xx was from Compaq [which hp bought] maybe you can try contacting hp since that model has long been discontinued. Good luck.
Still supported on HP's site. Try here:

WM5 for Magician - new hope?

i want to say that there is a man in syria who is Specialist in PDA
he said he is able to install WIN 5.0 to any jam and he ill give you a Guarantee for it but he request 50$ for that what do you think
it is a new hope
hope
Maybe he's a real good "master"in wm, and can istall wm5, but remember, his rom couldn't be be good for your Magician... Other solution, you can buy cd with eten m500 upgrade for 50 Euro. This CD contains ActivSync 4.1, upgrade from wm2003se to wm2005, and other things that you need to syncronize your MDA.

so from where can i buy this CD , and for sure there is WIN5.0 for jam
or what why all of the people are saying there is no WIN5.0 for JAM
i talked with I-MATe's support staff and they told me to wait for the time being
And HOW, pray tell, would you be able to modify the E-ten ROM image to be able to run on an HTC Magician?
m500
and how long they said you need to wait?
search here for stores

And HOW, pray tell, would you be able to modify the E-ten ROM image to be able to run on an HTC Magician?
I would bet he is a crook. If there is of any way that he is able to run WM5 on Magician, you would have heard it in the best forum of all.. HERE! Of all the experts here agree there isn't an chance of getting WM5 running on Magician, I won't bet $50 on it.
Anyway, as for the Eten version, it won't work on Magician too. I mean, there are tons of WM2K to WM5 upgrades for other units, and if the modifications were to be so simple, I bet these people would have modify it for Magician.

What this is ... is the quickest way to upgrade your Magician to a paper-weight. :!:
Here's why there's no WM5 for the Magician (and also why there are some unofficial WM5 releases for devices such as the Blue Angel) http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/10/06/477999.aspx
There is a posibility
Hi guys
i called with a german firm to ask how does a upgrade from 64 to 128 Mb costs also the question if it is possible run wm2005 after this upgrade they said to me that there is a posibilty, but it runs very very very slow
so in the i didn't made this upgrade but also wm2005 is not fully developed so let's see what comes

Coming soon WM5 for magicians

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

Pocket pc 2003 upgrade for HP/Compaq ipaq H3970?

Hi does anyone have the Pocket PC 2003 upgrade for the H3970 ipaq I have one with 2002 one it but the was a 2003 OS upgrade available at one point and I have hit dead ends trying to get it I'm hoping someone might still have it.
Bump
No one? Darn.. I realize it is old hardware and it's a reach that someone would still have this but was hoping someone might have it or even know where to find it..
Bump
You're doing what I'm doing, looking at old tech
I've recently bought a HP Ipaq 1940h, and the famous HTC HD2.
Now I'm looking into modding them like i did back in the old days, and I cant find anything! Links are dead everywhere (something called linkrot lol)
I've found a fair bit for the HTC HD2, and I'm downloading and archiving it on my PC.
For the iPaq range though, there is not much stuff around!
