A theory on how to get WM5 on an HTC Magician

Ok, ok, I know this topic has been debated to death and anyone who posts topics relating to WM5 on a Magician usually get flamed big time but I am willing to stick my neck out just in case it might hold some promise, so here it goes...
Is it possible to flash WM5 on a Magician with Big storage and using DocTools to appropriate extra storage space for the OS? I realize that it would leave very little for program memory but in theory it should work.
What do you think?

xb, the problem isn't the lack of space. It's that the WM5 drivers for the Magician do not exist anywhere. The hacked roms that were made available on this board for other devices happened to be leaked betas or similar, where the original companies HAD gone to the effort of making the drivers. They could very easily make the drivers for the Magician. But we can't.
As such, it's like trying to put Windows Vista on a Windows 3.11 box without new drivers. Most of the 3.11 hardware might work without new drivers, but then again, most of it might not.

what if you use the Charmer ROM?

As far as I know, internally Charmer is very different compared to Magician. They use different processor, and different ROM structure.

I see. Oh well. C'est la vie...

Why didn't you ask that in an EXISTING thread?

I just can't believe these people. :x For sure we all dream of having WM5 on a Magician, but it has already been discussed a million times that it's not possible.

Forget winmo5, I'd like to see Symbian on my Magician.
This is about as likely, however.

SYMBIAN?? Buy a nokia phone then...
Why bother with S60? Windows mobile is way more powerful...

Symbian doesn't hang as often as WinDOS mobile, true. It also has less footprint, true.
However, different Symbians are NOT interoperable, and different versions of the same Symbian are NOT backward compatible. You can NOT use a Nokia N71 app on an N80 the way you could use an app from an O2 xda in an O2 mini. This is WAAAAY more closed a platform than WinDOS mobile 5.
(I know this because I was roped in to find my Nokia 80 friend some apps. A Nokia N phone was a previous choice I had once before I got my Mini through a better deal.)
Attempted backward compatibility is the reason for half of the crashes out there, btw. The score is skewed in Symbian's favor only because it eschews backwards compatibility completely.
Symb's about as valuable an OS as what you use in any ordinary mobile phone. In which case you might as well buy an ordinary mobile phone.

I've never seen my PocketPC/Windows Mobile phones hang spontaneously as a result of the OS.
Remember guys, that WinCE/WinMob is very distinct from the implementation of drivers and mods made by the OEM. I'm using a Mio A701 right now, and the (alpha/beta?) ROM I'm using is very unstable, and it makes you realise just how stable the Magician is.
I use an enormous amount of DIY mods and non-commercial code, and it makes me realise that crashing the phone is usually the result of badly coded software, not a badly implemented core OS.
So, blame your operator, or HTC, or whoever made the software you're running, before you can say categorically that the OS is as at fault.
I used the p900 for a year, and still love it - my modfied version was still more satisfying then any PocketPC I've used

However, that's as a simple phone. What I can do with a PocketPC, its potential (as a result of a very potent and under-used OS) is enormous. So, make it your own, program your own stuff, and be happy. Symbian might have the same potential but each to his own.

bah for me i want to try Linux on my magician but ONLY if i can come back to Windows Mobile 2003 SE just for see if Linux is okay for the "phone part" i have buy the magician for the phone too lol not only for the PDA use.
I have search long and i have see it's not possible to upgrade the magician for windows mobile 2005 i have tried the upgrade but i have see it's not for the magician the first time i have say: "mmmm why stopping upgradding? it's say ... haaaa it's for hymal ok not for me " (lol) so now i search some tricks, update, mods, unlock with the registry but it's hard to find

Hey Mr. Vi Jay ... I'm really curious about what you did modifying your SE P900 ... Appreciating what you did for UNI community I belong to for some time now - I'm really curious if you did any "beyond the additional software" mods to SEP900 system.
Do you have any info, links... maybe I would manage some more time to mod my good old P900 as well???

Thanks ndn715
BIG Thanks:
Bepe, Mamaich, Tadzio, Misar,Cloudyfa,OCTAIVOI,its right......

Trying to download - explorer has crashed twice.....will try a little later
Congrats on your rom - will update once I can download
Edit - internet crashed three times with install language issues, but have finally downloaded the file - will update later once I've installed and tried out

just tried to download it and the download stopped after a few hundred kb. If others are reporting the same problem you might want to move it to MediaFire or RapidShare or one of the other file hosting places.
[edit:] I finally got the file down on my 3rd try but before I go installing it I need to ask if it is G4 friendly. Does this ROM attempt to update the IPL/SPL?

Details : page pool, free RAM ?

Can We have more info? I'm downloading to try it. Looks like my favorite beer
What device tdod the OS come from?
What is the Page Pool (ca it be changed)?
Thanx for the post (downloading slow)
OMFG!!!! It is beautifull! and it works!! and the Pagepool is 6mb (WST) Pretty basic rom. Looks Official. seems to be all working.
Gprs counter has some other language. boxes instead of words.
There is a small update to outlook, with little arrows to choose contact numbers to call without having to open the contact
NETCF is version 2 not 3 (I have an oem package if the cook is interested)
Love the new and improved icons.
First time I had task manager/Xbutton2 work on my wizard.
Battery life is awesome.
Flash without storage and sim cards

Is this G4 safe?

Just in case:
mirror:
http://rapidshare.com/files/98353208/838-19521.rar.html
Installed, working well on my G3 wizard. Quick rom. Here's a few things about the rom I found.
A few programs in the rom:
Oxios hibernate
Clear temp
Quick clear
Sim manager
USB harddrive
Usual games:
Solitaire
Bubble breaker
Camera = 3.00 (build 25498)
The user interface for settings -> personal and settings->system have nice graphics. Similar to Vista. Actually most of the icon on the phone look a little richer.
Wifi seems to connect a little faster. Still testing. Not much feedback on this rom. Where is everyone?

6 hours after taking the phone off the charger my battery is at 97%
I have downloaded my gmail, went out to see if the web works in my area made a few phone calls. it is as if this rom's os was designed for my phone. very impressive.
Had a little trouble this morning though:
I attempted to use my comuter as a stereo headset. Because I wanted Pocket Alarm MP3 to wake me up blaring the stereo through bluetooth.
That didn't happen because I got a text message before my alarm was supposed to come on; and killed all the sound untill I disconnected from my computer and/or headset. Also should note that the phone does not use internal speakers if your bluetooth is on. pretty nice. I just have to remember to not use the bluetooth part for my alarm anymore(just in case I get a call)
Weird. this is a pretty good rom, but noone seems to notice it.
Also, using WST (Wizard service tool) I was able to determine that it has parts from 3 different builds of 6.1; and that the XIP could be from TNT ast the bootloader starts showing the OS the same at tnt19199
I like this thing.

whats new
Is it worth upgrading from TNT 19199 build? Is it as fast as TNT'S?

NICE
VERY NICE.....still testing......VERY NICE...... will update when i'm fully loaded

please let us know where/how it came to be, i see a lot of things that point to TNT... which would mean that you did change alot around and got around his little extras that would trip up most... not that i don't believe that this is a new build, but you have to let us know where it came from... pm me if you want...
on the other hand, it runs really well much better than the 19716 builds...

P6500 ROM DUMPED (ATi Drivers Inside)

Or at least I think the drivers are in there. Props to hdubli for dumping it.
http://rapidshare.com/files/103706855/Part02.rar.htm
So, XDA Masters, can you guys please play with this and see what you get in terms of Qualcomm MSM7200 drivers? Apparently, the Sedna has the same chips as the Kaiser but it actually has the drivers that the Kaiser lacks.
EDIT: I suggest no one here brags to the online press yet so that Qualcomm doesn't get mad too soon

5100 vs 400. Speaks for itself.
Please, don't post if you aren't going to be helpful. There are 30 pages already & suffice to say that the vast majority are worthless crap.
Let's save some pages for development. The more crap that get's posted the less continuity there is in the information.

or better yet, if someone was able to locate the files in this rom and create a working cab! that would be great!

Hope at last?????
If you would like to see all of the spb benchmark tests for the HTC SEDNA 6500; visit this site- make up your own mind on what this means. To me it is pretty conclusive.
These are the benchmark tests for the Sedna-
http://www.google.com/translate?u=h...notice-87P4.html&langpair=es|en&hl=en&ie=UTF8
Even the reviewers on the site commented on the unique graphical benchmarks as compared to other msm7200 chipsets
UPDATE: If there are any more p6500 users at this forum, we need you to dump your rom so we can analyze it for drivers; Also it would be helpful if you could run spb benchmark tests on your device to confirm the results of todosmartphone.com.

SWEET find bro! hopefully a lot of good will come out of this.

Taken from the site
Also noticed this from the site.
Emphasizes the graphics performance of the PDA which seems to include, for firn, ATI drivers that we take in the absence TyTn II and Cruise. Or it or have improved quite graphics performance of the PDA. In the rest of comparative speed does not stand out especially being in most cases almost tied with her cousin the HTC Pitt.

We need to keep a quiet and steady approach to all this. When it's accomplished, I soon hope to see enhanced performance on my Sprint Mogul and across all devices with MSM7200 and MSM7500 chipsets.

Thank you !

default_d3m.dll and htc_d3dm.dll are identical to Kaiser's AT&T 1.62 ROM (WM 6.0 OS 5.2.1622). DDI.dll is different, with the P6500 version being ~2K larger.
I've discovered it's not as simple as just replacing DDI.dll on a Kaiser. I just tried and it hung at the splash screen, so I had to hard reset.(If you want to try too, install the attached cab at your own risk. I'm just happy I didn't try to cook this in ) This isn't unusual, as I seem to recall reading about Chainfire having similar experiences with the LG KS20 DDI.dll.
It looks like we'll need someone like cmonex, Olipro, Pof, jwocky2001, Nushrike, Chainfire or anyone else blessed with ASM skills or device driver hacking to make this work. If any of you need more files to work with and don't feel like dumping imgfs, shoot me a PM and I'll send you any files you require.
Good luck!

i downloaded file just in case qualcomm wants us to pull this from xda.
i have it stored to my pc if we need this file again uploaded.

Thanks alex,
this shall help speed up the proccess of fixing the drivers, if possible of course.

DDI.dll is version 0.92, isn't it pretty old ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's stamped with whatever build version it was (e.g., AT&T 1.62 has version 1.62, AT&T 3.14 = 3.14), so I'd guess that this is ROM 0.92 for the Sirius. It's missing the XML file found in Kaisers that indicate the version in the OEMVERSION directory. (It could be somewhere else, but I haven't looked.)
FWIW, all the files in the OEM directory are dated 09-09-07 or 09-10-07. Not sure if that matters or not, especially if the benchmarks are valid...

i tried to install it with total commander.....got through boot screen but now the black screen of death....have to hard reset now......dam it......still working on solution

IMHO, HTC could NOT make it to work on the KAISER/TOUCH... and so on, so they said, screw it, and move on w/o the driver.

Windows Mobile 6.1 In APRIL FOR HTC TYTN II

Hello,
Look at this article Frederic Tassy Director HTC in FRANCE said :
"Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade only For Kaiser In April"
The Links :http://www.businessmobile.fr/actualites/services/0,39044303,39380156,00.htm
"
Updates to the existing terminals: HTC TyTN II, as early as April
The update program (from Windows Mobile 6.0 to 6.1) of existing terminals mainly depends on the will of the manufacturer. The upgrade to version 6.1 requires updating the ROM mobile, and therefore requires specific developments at each terminal.
HTC, it seems, chose to be very selective in France, but proactive. "Only TyTN II will benefit from an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1. The new ROM will be available for download on our web site during the month of April. We have no other project to update yet, "said Frederick Tassy in drafting BusinessMobile.fr. Adding new features "enterprise" as fleet management terminals (with System Center Mobile Device Manager) seems motivated the choice of HTC to concentrate solely on the TyTN II, a terminal at the career indisputable. With an update available from April, this model will be the first terminal running Windows Mobile 6.1 in France.

I'm so excited!
Wow look everyone another WM 6.1 thread! Whoopie!! Let's all start a different thread about the same topic! Whoopie, yippie, and yahoo! Seriously let's stop creating threads about this topic we have it already. It may not be completely final version but come on and use some common sense when starting threads. Damn.

Thanks, private69. We all knew the 6.1 upgrades were coming, but a confirmation of when is very welcomed!

This first thing to check on the official ROM will be weather Quick GPS actually delivers a quick fix. Because on all 6.1 ROM's posted here, using all recent radios, it does not.

My last tests show that the official ROM works best. Radio 1.65.14.06 is extremely slow to get a fix. In cooked ROMs, QuickGPS does not seem to have any efect.
I have tested all the ROMs I have flashed on the same places. My current ROM did get a GPS fix in 50 seconds the first time, 12 seconds the following times. That's while walking from my home to the bus stop, among buildings. Usually I did not get a GPS fix in that path, in 10 minutes.
The only interesting point I see in cooked ROMs is that in Dutty's Skype works. In any other ROM, you can install updated HTC applications, and any programs you need. I do not see a difference in real speed from a 6.1 official to a cooked one. I've worked for many years with computers to consider a change in a syntethic benchmark from 5134 to 5375 a big increase in speed.

Apache New Roms

I will release apache roms for the newer leaked windows mobile builds. Please post back to:
* comment on rom
* give feedback
* give suggestions
* request a different bootloader and/or carrier (I will be using 1.04/Verizon for now)
* Answer the following questions:
How much storage/program memory is available?
Does your sd card work? (Don't worry-There's just a small chance of it not working-testing same build right now, sd card is fine.)
ROM #1 SimzzROM 2.4: wm6.5.3.3 28205 Verizon bootloader 1.04, 1.00
Includes camera, googlemaps, s2u2, s2p, various skins(keyboard, calc, etc.), wm office, wm games
Please note that to CLOSE a task, tap X and to MINIMIZE a task, hold X.
Use at your own risk! This rom was not tested by me. The following are Verizon.
Download: bootloader 1.04
Download: bootloader 1.00

Thank Simzz! I will download to test

Done. Check first post.
If there is 15+ MB of program memory and 25+ MB storage memory, I would recommend trying out manila 2d. Someone post back if the memory is okay. Manila 2d works fine on mine with build 28014, so I'll post links to the cabs later. (If memory's alright.)

Word.
simzz!
I don't know why you're doing this man, but it's so awesome of you.
I'm new to the whole concept, but here's what I've got, and what I think I want...
HTC Apache, bootloader 2.02, Verizon is my carrier. Wanting either WM 6.1 or 6.5 relatively pimped.
I have no idea what the Manila business is - assuming it's a suite of apps for WM devices...
I would be happy with any rom that would run on my phone and free me of this pitiful WM5 situation.
I just have NO IDEA what apps would be good/useful.
Something to clean up the file system. Some way to navigate the files better. A decent media player?
I just don't know. Something barebones would be a good start, if I can just install .cabs on my own, but I would trust you to know what apps are good to go.
Please, thank you and AWESOME.

(P.S. What's the best way to save my contacts/texts before flashing - can't get Micro$ucks activsync to work...?)

For contacts/text try PIM Backup
Manila is an interface/today screen plugin for your pocket pc. Looks like this.
I'll put cabs up later if you want it.

Damn, son, that was quick
Prompt.
Not to discourage, but what is your motivation, aside from selflessness and the desire to learn? Are you getting donations?
I've read through several of the recent threads you've contributed to, and I'm confident that you will do a smashing job, and I just don't know how to thank you enough. I saw the post with the stuff for manila. Nothing was quite self-explanatory about it.
Thanks for clarifying.
Your help is tremendously appreciated, as just about every rom I've tried to download and even most of the stuff from PPCgeeks that I think I need for the kitchen to cook my own has been DEAD.
Again, thanks a million for the upcoming rom, and the PIM backup suggestion.

I could have either not compressed it, compressed with xpr, or compressed with lzx. Lzx lets you put the most into a rom, no compression gives the most program memory. I chose xpr(mix between both). I may have tried to fit a little to much into the rom, but I think it'll be fine.

Done. Check first post.
If there is 15+ MB of program memory and 25+ MB storage memory, I would recommend trying out manila 2d. Someone post back if the memory is okay. Manila 2d works fine on mine with build 28014, so I'll post links to the cabs later. (If memory's alright.)

Click to collapse
Yeah I have 20 MB program memory and 35 MB storage. If you could post links to some cabs that would be awesome.

Please check out this page. Extras, tweaks, skins, fixes available. Thanks to Whitealien and Mbarvian.

You are SO the man.
My first flashing experience went perfectly well.
I can't thank you enough.
Smooth awesomeness.
Something happened to some of my texts during PIMbackup restore, but no big deal, my contacts are straight...
Still exploring apps and whatnot, and my SD card hasn't arrived yet, so I'm limited in what I can do so far, but I must say, it's very responsive and smooth! Such a dramatic improvement over the WM5 that was on the device when I got it.
Any advice on getting linux to boot this crazy thing?
THANK YOU!

Death of the link
Thanks for the suggestion, but the link to the image is down. I encounter that frequently with everything about this device.
I'm absolutely loving the rom you cooked for me.
Now I want to cook one up myself, definitely more of a minimal rom with less stuff I won't use.
How about the battery meter being visible somewhere?
Anyway, I'm off to get my kitchen set up... if the files are still available...
PEACE!

About the Kitchen files...
I only have limited swathes of time to d/l this stuff (no steady internet), and several of the files are quite large, especially the ones that are named for a dimensional size (480x800, 240x320, 480x640)...
So which of these are necessary, and which can I do without? Once I begin the download process, it seems to be building a text file in a temp directory, which can't be resumed if interrupted... so I'd like to limit myself to files that I need for the Apache.
Any advice on that?
I should probably be posting this somewhere else...

run updater (check start menu) and select:
240x320 oem
common oem
Then either the whole apache subdirectory, or these:
apache carriers
apache core
apache drivers
any builds you want.

I will be moving my roms over to my new site. There is a forum there for questions, or anything else. Download links to the roms will be provided there.
