I have an Orange SPV M500, unlocked, which runs Windows Mobile 2003 V4. I would like to upgrade it, but first need to know if this is a branded version of some other phone, then what, if any, upgrade is possible.
Looks like it might be a Magician.
The SPV M500 is the HTC Magician, even though it has a slightly modified design. Unfortunately, the Magician cannot be upgraded beyond WM2003 [i.e. no WM5.0 or WM6.x]
Thank you both - looks like I will need to think again.

Hi
I have just got my O2 XDA IQ, & want to update the ROM to the latest, I-Mate SP5 (not SP5m) English Version, can anyone out there suggest, which ROM I Should use, my version is:
ROM version: 2.5.57.9
Radio version: 4.1.13.11_02.21.01
I want to try and install a ROM that could possibly gain me a bit more memory, as I am trying to run WiFiFoFum, which requires Microsoft, .net I can install both and it is working really well, however the system is now really low on memoiy and keeps flashing up low memory warning messages, which is really, really, annoying, apart from that and the fact that O2 GREAT BRITAIN don't support full GPRS on Pay & Go (There more into there I-Mcde now) (unlike T-Mobile, but rubbish coverage) the phone is an awsome piece of kit and is a great smaller secondary phone, that compliments my I-Mate Jamin perfectly, thanks for your time in this matter Chaps I eagerly await your thoughts,
Kind Regards Ash'e.

magician wm2005 coming soon
Hey what so happy about it? I think you misunderstood the statement.
they said, the new MDA Compact II is going to come out. and yes, its already came out, with the model name Charmer or Prophet (i forget )
so, still, no WM2005 for Magician.
Yep:
"This device is UNABLE TO BE UPGRADED to Windows Mobile 5.0".
I still think the producers are being lazy. There's no reason it should not support an Intel PXA272 base, because that's like the most common WM processor around, and its still in use too. Portable RAM, BT and Radio Stack technology hasn't changed a hell lot enough to not even have any driver support.
If this isn't forced obsolescence I don't know what is.
ya lor of course i tink its not because device not supported, but just simply : marketing and commercial issue
maybe they came out with new product and wont allow wm2005 for magician to avoid product cannibalism
I agree with you
it certainly supports wm2005
yes
it is launched with name charmer grey nad pink colour
g3 chipset
Is there a way to downgrade my prophet from WM% to WM2003SE cos i think SE is a far better OS. I've been looking for ROMs and things but cant find any. Can anyone help me please.
By the way, I'm a bit new to all this but have a solid grasp of PCs and know a bit about PDAs.
Thanks
Why would you want that?
i just dont like WM5. There are lots of little things missing that were in 2003 if i can do it, then i might as well. Can you help?
Hi, I think the S200 shares quite the same hardware with the S100, which runs under 2k3SE, maybe you should look at its roms...

s100 and s200 do not use the same cpu (s100 intel Bulverde cpu s200 TI OMAP)... they do not use the same gsm band (s200 is quad band and s100 tri-band)

If that was the case Wm5 would have been available on the S100 (cooked). The S100 and S200 have different processors which is the main reasonw why you just have to forget about putting S100 ROM on an S200.
Just to clarify, my prophet is an SPV m600 on orange. does this help?
It only helps by telling you that you can't put WM2003SE on your device... HTC, Dopod, Qtek, Imate, Orange, O2... All the same hardware just the branding changes... Unless your an expirienced programmer and you have a team to support you can't see how you could cook a wm2003SE rom to support all the SPV hardware... Hope this is clear enough... If you want a wm2003SE device buy one second hand...

have a look here for wm5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=240960
what do you say about this one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5568ZTrD5A
i think thats s200 and not s100
nop. it's s110 to be more exactly.
it koool, we need this
It is only a program to block the screen. I proved it and I uninstall, because it consumes much battery when resident remaining.
Only a program not OS.
the programs is: Vito Technology Winterface 1.0

That pocket it's a charmer...
maciasp, on the video is the htc home screen installed, the one that we can find in wm 6.1. that link that you provided is only an application, but, is like the iphone one, i have that allready. if you see the video, he is watching at the weather, the htc touchflo cube 3D, things that i don't think that are on winterface.
I've comunicated via msn with the owner of that phone, and it is not a magician, but a charmer.
So dont keep your hopes on running wm6 on the magician
qtek s100 and qtek s110 are using same platform, only some small differences are between them. so, i'm still waiting an idea about that rom or what is it. i tried to contact him on msn or yahoo messenger, but without any luck.
P.S. just a clarification: qtek s100 is the same as spv m500, magician, o2 xda II mini, etc.
what actually makes you feel that its a s110
thats clearly an s200! (probably with a grey casing)
s100 and s110 can not run wm6.
only a charmer can and that is s200 not s110 or s100
i had qtek s100, 110 and s200, and trust me, i know them very well. first of all, the keys aren't the same, second, the led from the operator signal isn't the same, and i'm telling you all of this from my experience. i'm attaching printscreens with qtek s110 and s200 exactly with the differences.
S100:
S200:
that's why i'm asking you all, how is working on s110 wm6, or which software does he use?
and..if you look more carrefuly at the video, at the end, he is rotating the device, and it is looking exactly like qtek s110, and not s200, and the comm manager button doesn't seem to be anywhere on the left side of the device (the one from the video):
s200 comes in 2 different looks. the one which you have shown here having different styled keys and the other one which looks exactly like s110 with no difference in looks.
mda compact II is charmer.....not s100,s110
oficial wm5 and processor 200mhz
Everybody chill off... Thx
He's an hungarian guy , like me.I contacted him on MSN(soz his adress is there but only hungarians can read it )
The first thing you must know,that he made this video,soz he wanted to sell it.And he selled...he dont own it anymore
2nd ITS A CHARMER.sorry... me 2 have magician and want rom upgrade but atm theres no way...
GL&HF
thx for your answer. but why did he wrote in the title that's it qtek s100?
I dont know! Anyways , im checking every day this forum if someone comes here and says that "OMGOMG I HAVE MAGICIAN WM5/6 ROM" lol... I know that it'll never happen, but the hope dies at last
