Hi,
1 years ago i had flashed the windows mobile 5 to my mpx200, but it didn't worked.
I don't know, if it was an accident, that the phone was after this flash death, or i did something wrong. I sent it to Motorola and they sayed the memory in the device was death and they changed the memory.
2 Monts later i gave the device to my dad, because i bought a HTC Wizard.
Now he want's a new rom for the old phone and i want to know, was it an accident? Maybe it was the Memory Card? But which Cards are compatible for flashing Windows Mobile 5, 6.0 or 6.1? It's an 1GB Extrememory Card.
Needs the Phone more battery with an WM6.1 rom? At the moment, there is an Windows mobile 2003 Rom on it and the Battery just holds 2 Days, without doint something with the Phone!
Thanks!
(Sorry for my bad englisch, but i'm from Germany )

Hello!
A developer called Win_XP told us in an other thread that some of the mpx200
phones cannot be flashed to WM5, 6 or 6.1 because of a hardware issue. So in case you did everything perfectly at the flashing you might have one of that phones.
Anyway here is a link for WM6.1, you can get some information about flashing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383687
It's much easier to flash it than WM5 so if you think you can give it a try (at your own risk of course).
My battery works 2 or 3 days with wm6.1 I think it's okay.
Yes, thats right, some phones with non-samsung flash chip don't works with WM5,6,6.1

hey i need help regarding this new wifi card i bought.. does not seem to work on my XDA II.
Rom 1.72.00WWE
radio version 1.17.00
ext ROM 1.72.901
Hello
was there an update ? Because I see that the XDA II is in
the compatibility list
D you still have a problem ?
I wished to buy that card on my XDA II (upgraded WM 6.1)
Well, please search. There is a lot of posts around here about these spectec wifi cards. They work pretty well, but you have to find the right driver. The wm6 driver does not seem to work well on my device, but the 2003SE or the wm5 one (I don't remember which one, give a try...) works flawlessly (even on wm6.1)
hi,
i am having no end of problems with my Spectec 820 and my himalaya XDA 2.
I got it going when i was running the stock WM 2003, but i have since updated to WM5 and now WM6 and have not been able to get it running with any of the drivers off the website.
I have used all of the drivers (WM 2003, WM5 WM6) as suggested on this site when i have had WM5 and WM6 installed with absolutely no luck.
The only glimmer of hope was that when running the WM5 driver on WM6 it came up with wifi symbol on the top of the Today screen but the device wouldnt do anything else, i couldnt get a connection, it was if it recognised there was some kind of wifi card but nothing more, no networks, no searching not a sausage.
I am very frustrated as i really want WIFI but dont want to give up on my Himalaya as even now, running WM6 i think it is a great device.
I am contemplating buying a SPectec 821 but i am worried it will not work.....
Anybody ha ve any ideas?
hello
guess i can help you, by sending you this:
WM6.1 by Chandra Shekhar, the best i ever tested its rocks !
wifi, gps and all stuf, works, perfectly
hope, its gonna help you, a bit, enjoy!
thanks to Chandra Shekhar
Hello!
I'd like to know if this card works on MDA I.Please answer
Hi all,
I have been using o2 XDA and XDA II mini for many years , i tried almost all new phones with WM5/6 and i am very much sure that it does not serve my purpose and work.
Can I buy a new 02 / HTC touch dual or tytn and load windows 2003 on it.
I understand that i will loose warranty etc. but is it possible. pros & cons?
Can i do it ? how ?
thanks
roms are tailored 100% for a device
so if the device maker never made a 2003rom for a device
one would have to start from scratch and maybe
have to reverse engineer drivers if some were requied
and not available in a wm2003 model

if someone really wants to spend money and energy he can,but it would be better to have wm5 or 6 for some devices like magician instead an overcomed 2003 for newer ones like touch dual, pharos,cruise,diamond
and by the way people developing os are trying to make a better os every time, and in most cases they do it, so you get better memory handling, better drivers...faster device if you want it that way
WOW! Why would you want to put a server OS on your phone? lol

do you have a specific for example compatibility problem with WM5+?
I have over 10,000 client contacts on my phone , I transferred data to couple of new phones with wm5 and wm6. All is well till I try to search. When i search for a contact it takes around 5 mins on new phones with wm5 and wm6 . It takes 3-4 secs on the the XDAII and XDA mini for the same. having tried many phones and tools , i assumed that the problem should be with OS. with improved graphics and whole lot of other features which take up the active resources may be the search module does not get all that is required.
MY xda mini 2003 / xda II 2002 have less features ,less graphics so they are faster is what i have concluded from all these experiments that i have done wit new phones.
Thanks

If you compare the search tool with my kind of data, you will understand taht the new OS is not of any help to me. I agree , that there may be whole lot of new features and drivers , But search in a n integral part of the os and don't understand why that should change. and it works superb in earlier versions 3 secs V/s 5 mins to search.
Your problem is caused by a new way of working with memory in WM5+ systems. WM2003 used part of RAM as a storage medium for installed programs and also contact databases were located there. WM5+ uses internal flash instead. Data from flash doesn't disapear when you run out of battery juice. On the other hand it is a numerous times slower. However i cannot imagine the slowdown would have been so drastic. I would advise you trying the fastest possible device with lots of RAM (Samusng Omnia i900 or HTC Touch Diamond). It is possible the slowdown will be more acceptable. If it will be no success you can modify some ROM to use RamDisk as a storage medium. However, there are no new devices with WM2003 ROMs available.
That is the most convincing answer that i have got since last year when i started looking for replacement for my XDA.
After trying almost every new and latest PDAs in the market, I am sure that the new PDAs will not be any great help
BUT your statement - " Modify some ROM to use RamDisk as a storage medium." makes me hopeful.
Unfortunately, for novice like me it ends there. I don't know how modify ROMS, or any place where i can get it done. Even if i get one, i don't know how to load it. Tutorials did not help much, they were just too much technical. I may be a odd one in this developer forum, but this is only place where i think i can get the answer. I am just looking for PDA that is just equvialent to my XDA II and XDA mini
Many Thanks for your response
cect x1 gps windows 5
Hi everybody,
This is my first post so, Hello.
I have some questions,
First of all, i bought an cect x1 it has integrated GPS, windows mobile 5.0 and so on,
i would like to upgrade to wm6 any know how???
any help me please
Thanks everybody for your answers!
Are you sure that this phone has Windows? CECT and other chinese factories often make a firmware that looks like Windows but is NOT Windows.
cect likes making wm phones that look like other (often non wm) phones.
That said, they never release updates, so the answer to your question is an astoundingly depressing no.
this phone is here

This phone has real Windows mobile. I own a Hitune T68, it runs out of the box on WM6 and it is a very good and solid phone.
hello , same question for me : it runs on WM5 , but can I upgrade or flash it to WM 6.* ?
No you cant.
They have a different bootloader and hardware than htc phones.
I dont think that anyone managed to flash a cect so far.
hi guys, i have an htc touch cruise, its about 15 months old now. Its totally standard and i have not tried upgrading it, however it has become really really slow to start up lately. This morning i still could not phone anyone after 5 minutes, and it froze once! is there anything i can do to speed this up? i have an 8gb memory card in it with about 4gb of music, would this affect it? cheers for any help!
i forgot to add thats it actually an O2 Orbit II branded variant
What's your memory status? How much free device memory you have?
Maybe it's time to uninstall some software, or even hard reset device - remember, it's Windows...
see this is what i am thinking, fecking windows! this is my first XDA, so i just assumed, like my laptop, it will need re-installing once a year!!!! ha ha!
i might just take the opportunity to upgrade to wm6.1, good idea?!
If your Polaris is on 6.0 Pro, I don't suggest upgrade...

Why on earth not? Just curious what your position is.
Usually the newer 6.1/6.5 OS will is a lot more improved that the outdated 6.0. My vote definitely goes for upgrading your phone, it'll fix all your problems.(unless its a hardware issue)
My points are all written in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411883&highlight=Bodisson&page=13
In short:
- iGo 2006 stopped working
- problems syncing with more than one PC
- slower
- more battery consumption
There's more, but these 4 are my main reasons.
hello everyone,
first of all, im very new to this forums and htc world, so please no harsh judges...
couple of days ago i traded my old cellphone nokia n-95 (which i wasnt very satisfied with,as it wasnt my kind of cell phone) for this htc qtec s200 pocket pc. but my trouble now is that i dont know a damn thing about it. currently i have some ****y OS, which is slow and annoying. i checked it out in "about" tab, in settings menu, and it says that im using Widows Mobile 6.1 pro.
i would like to switch it for something faster and better, any sugestions ???
