Hello to everyone, sorry in advance if i am posting this in the wrong section. I have a Orange spv m2000, which is open to all networks, and as you all know it runs windows mobile 2003?. My question is , can it be upgraded to say windows 5,6 or higher if there is one, and what is the process to do this, would it be a simple case of down loading a cab file or is it more complicated than that. I'm not that good with these devices, so all instructions would be welcome. Many thanks.

Your device is the Blue Angel
You can upgrade to 6.1 or even 6.5
here how to:

Good luck,
Thanks Orb3000 for the response, thats great, i'll take a look and follow it, if i get stuck may i come back to you.
Radio Rom
Hi
I have read the section on upgrading the rom. I think i have it right, but to check with you guys. I can keep my OS which is wm 2003, and i can just upgrade the radio rom, which will give me things like 3g, gsm,gprs, wifi, but quicker version than i have currently, will it alter my current settings for my current phone provider (o2) which i set up recently. Sorry if my questions are basic, but being new, and learning my way through this, asking questions is the only way i know of moving forward, and advancing my knowledge.

I have a Qtek 9100 with wm5, when I start it up it reads:
Ipl 2.17.0001
Spl 2.17.0001
Gsm 02.07.10
Os 2.17.7.2
I would like to upgrade it to WM6 and maybe add some of the new features of the HTC touch. I love the wizard and refuse to give up the keyboard but would like to have some of the functionality of the touch. I can hack a pc just fine but have never messed around on a mobile before. I do not want to brick this thing. I have PHM registry editor installed on my wizard. I was hoping someone had a clear cut answer on how to upgrade my device to WM6 and install some cool apps along the way. I love reading the many posts on this great site, I have learned alot. If anyone can help out this newbie I would be forever grateful.

more questions
Thanks for the reply, I have determined that I have G4 unlocked model. Now the next question that I have is do I need to upgrade my existing rom before installing a WM6 rom. If not do you have any suggestions on which WM6 rom to install?
Did you mean CID Unlocked G4? If you are not sure then look for shell tool and follow some others in G4 forum.
I checked and it is CID unlocked, so my next question is which WM6 rom should I use? Does anyone know if the new "touch" applications will work on a g4 model? I have searched through the G4 postings and I have not found anything on this.
My idea

I think NBD 7.4 is the best WM6 "touched" rom...
But I don't know if it's working on G4 wiz....

G3 and G4 have nothing different apart from the boot chip. So it should work (I may be wrong but you can safely give a try).

Read the wiki
Don't remember who shared this, but I thought it would be appropriate here:
The members of this forum are advanced users, and they are expecting this from other members too. Thus if you don't want to lose your face in front of the other members, I suggest you try to solve your problems yourself first, and then search on this forum and even on the whole internet, and if then you still couldn't solve your problem, the link 'Post reply' or the link 'New thread' on this forum are there for you...So you will be sure that the problem you couldn't solve, isn't just something explained before and other members of this forum won't laugh at you...
The members with very high post count will not always be able to help you out in the best way...It is very easy to post hundreds of replies every day, but it's much harder to post so many useful replies! Sometimes you will see a thread becoming very long, thanks to some users willing to thank someone over hundreds of time. Of course, it is very polite to thank someone that helped you out, but you will see that all those thank you and other useless post are making it very hard for you and other members to find the posts that really will help you out of your little problem...So, an other suggestion for you is that you only post what really matters, that way, you will very soon be so popular in this forum and on any other forum that you might get famous by a lot of people and a lot of people might even remember you every time they are using their Pocket PC...wouldn't that be great??!
So, now you got a little introduction to this forum I'm sure you will find out your way and make it to the 'Search' button just on top of every page on this forum. Then, a new world will open for you, you will be able to find tons of information, more than ten or twenty thread are just on the subject what you where asking for and you will see that while you are searching, you will very soon get a little frustrated to find more than ten times exactly the same instructions to solve your problem. I am sure, very soon we will see some replies from you asking other members to just use that little search link before posting a question that was solved ten times before on this forum...
Have a nice day, we hope you will be able to help us out too if we got some problem that you might be able to solve!!
Hi Guys,
thanks for watching. DUe to some good roms of you i upgraded yesterday my qtek s200 to wm6. Now the i love the Gui of the TouchFlo 3D. How could i download and install it on my running device.
Du i need this hdsql (or whatever).
Yess i saw many rom here in the forum but none was like touchflo 3d espacially for the messaging keyboard. I want to get rid of my stylus pen. And i think this would be a good possibility.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
RonLion

But wm 6.1 prof is possible? do you know a good rom in english.

The forum is full of good 6.1 roms. Suggest u spend a little time reading then when u understand what u have to do, go and try some ROMS for yourself and learn
Hi

I am a noob with xda, I have spent hours reading, and trying to learn. I am still not clear how to safely update my orbit 1 to wm6.1 with touchflo.
For the non experienced (with xda) this forum is very difficult to find information.
Virtually every post / tutorial uses technical terms which presume previoius knowledge of htc / xda firmware and upgrades.
I am not IT incompetent.
There are a number of iPhone forums which have very straightforward forums which guide the reasonably competent computer user to unlock iphone, upgrade firmware and software.
Is there a straightforward tutorial available in xda-developers to help me upgrade to wm6.1 with touchflo?
Thanks colink

Firts, I would like to ensure you that I am not flaming or anything like that.
But, I have to Agree with Colink, this is not a noobfriendly forum
I´ve just bought a S200 from a friend (I´ve been dreaming with it since 2006!) and was a very pleasent surprise to know that Prophet could run WM 6.1 (I like Touchflo 3d, but for me, is not necessary.)
So, just as Colink (I supose), I´ve spent the last week reading this forum...and XDA forum too. I´m very sure that everything i should (or even can) know about prophet, is here. There is no other place to search...
But, the volume of knowledge is so huge, that sometimes is even confuse to absorb it.
So, I agree with colink and ask, Is there any tutorial to upgrade my WM version?
I´m pretty sure that I´ll upgrade it with or without tutorial... but as since as theres so many "expert" around here and, they did so much to the whole forum... wouldn´t be hard to someone write a quick tutorial.
But, I hope you all understand, that what I´m doing here, and I supose colink too, is just searching at the best (probably) only place to find anything about our ppc... not been lazy, we are just afraid of screwing something.
Thanks!

Colink, in response to your comments above you would have read the very good guides to upgrading such as these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405384 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401326 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547.
When i did my first flash i started with this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315016. I then Hardspl using the guides above. The info i read recomended this way, so i used it. You will also have read from the guides about using XP not Vista to flash and also ensuring you remove all devices from USB ports and turning off other comunication s/w. The guides also offer good info on what to do when it goes wrong. If you do flash 6.1 rom and it goes wrong, then you can revert back to 315016 thread (aku 2.2 rom) as the guides say, this wil get you device working again
This post gives you links to the guides and a list of Roms, although you should check for new ones also : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377545
The wiki is also useful : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Contributed_ROMs
Now i hope this is both useful to yourself and d.magliano. I know that too much info is always a head wrecker, but really the guides are very good.
Hi Timmymarsh
Thanks for the response and the guidance. I am currently reading through the links you gave.
Unfortunately in my haste, before reading your post I followed instructions for installing USPL.
I have just run start_uspl.exe on my orbit 1, after following instructions re- soft reset.
Phone is showing white screen asdescribed in tutorial
PDA ROM update utility has opened on xp laptop.
Instructed to conect via active sync.
Active sync cannot find device.
I have not touched phone and do not want to brick it.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
The phone is currently connected to the charger with white screen. I presume I will have to restart and hope for the best.
Secondly the first link you give in your reply is for 'Prophet' - do I need different instructions / aplications for Artemis / Orbit?
Thanks Colin
i'll try to help yoy

Colin, im not familiar with o2 branded stuff so excuse ignorance, but is the orbit not based on the touch cruise/polaris?
hi
Sorry my fault, I believe the orbit is same as artemis p3300 & touch cruise. I thought I was posting in Artemis forum.
I presume your links are not relevant to my phot?
If you can guide me about my current White screen / no connection problem I would appreciate it.

Colink, i thought it was touch cruise hardware and ****, thats not good!! You are correct in thinking that you cannot use the prophet section in flashing. If i were you, id goto the polaris section and read how to recover. HardSPL and flashing is more complex for the Polaris, i am waiting for official wm6.1 rom before i try any cooked ones on there. If you are lucky you can recover your device by removing the battery for at least 30 seconds and try and restart, but i do fear you may have bricked your device as the SPL is one of two parts that help load you OS (apols if my descriptions are basic, i dont want to confuse)
Read the Polaris section and look for help, if not ask, but you may get rude reply. Sorry i cant help more, as i have not tried on my touch cruise yet. Let me know what happens, pm me if you want
hi timmymarsh
Thanks for your guidance. The Polaris is the orbit 2. My orbit1 is the Artemis. Not sure if it has same complexeties as Polaris.
I will follow your guidance and let you know.
Colink
Colink,
Ignore my pm and goto here, i hope it helps (ps make sure you post in the right place in future and if u ask for help, make it clear your device and steps taken and donot criticise those who try to help, unlike some who post)
pm me and tell me how it goes!

Hello,
I'm new here, and I have a lot of questions.
I have a Sony Ericsson K810i right now, and I want to buy the HP iPaQ 614C.
I have downloaded the Windows Mobile 6.1 emulator images. It looks good. But now my questions.
I'm a music freak, and I love SRS WoW. Only, it seems to have a lot of trouble with WM 6.1 . And there seems to be a newer version, with a lot of effects removed. Is this the same with WM 6.0?
That's directly question 2. I have downloaded the Dutch HP Ipaq 614c image and it is a .DIO file. Any way to mount it in the Device emulator?
My fourth question. If SRS WoW is possible on WM6.1, can someone develope a Dutch WM6.1 ROM for the Ipaq 614C? It's not nessacary, but it can be nice
And now my fifth question. I think the answer is "no"... Is there any way to put a stripped WM standard version on my SE K810i, till I have the new phone?
I am still a English student, so please don't shoot me...
Thanks in Advance,
Sef
One other question:
When WM6.5 comes out, is MS gonn'a release a update for all WM6/6.1 Devices?
have you tried posting in the right section?

Ok guys let me start by saying that i have recently purchased a M5000 which came with WM5 and i am now looking to upgrade to WM6. I have to apologise in advance as it is a new unit i am a total newb so i have a few questions.
1. Do i simply install a new ROM to upgrade?
2. If so what is considered the best version and where can it be found?
3. If i upgrade do i lose all my installed programs?
The unit is currently running with the orange side bar which i find a little annoying this is the main reason for wanting to change.
Like i say i am new so i can only apologise if my questions seem a little stupid. I have tried searching the forums for the answers but to no avail.
Many thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum
1.- Yes, but follow the instructions!
2.- Tomal ROM v8.5, do a SEARCH!
3.- Yes
Please READ the Wiki!! and enjoy
Many thanks Orb. I did try doing a search but unfortunately there were no polls on the subject and there did seem to be a few different versions available so i was looking for advice. I have found all the info on the wiki so i will be giving it a bash this weekend. Appreciate your help though.

Good luck,
Cheers orb. I had already seen the that update but my dilemma was that there are several other updates available and i wasnt sure what the general feeling as to the best one was. My initial thoughts were that the tomal was the most popular due to the number of posts and posters mentioning it in their sigs.
Whats the difference between the standard and special builds?
Are there any extra system requirements for the special build?
Thanks for your help though. I know to you it must seem a little trivial but i can assure you that your help has given me the extra confidence i probably needed to undertake the update.
At this point my friend
The best recommendation is to test several! till you have the one that fits your personal needs (I have tested a lot to find mine)
And really, you have to read!
You´ll find what is the difference between
Vanilla, standard, etc ROM´s
And many many more very usefull info
You know what is my recommendation
Enjoy!
p.d. You don´t need any extra requirements for that special build
Heloo everyone. I just registered here at these forums because I have just got a gift from a friend. I got a brand new HTC Touch Pro that is made for Sprint. It doesnt have a sim-card which is another thing that I would like to discuss, but for now, I would like to get some help on upgrading my OS to something else. It has windows 6.1 I believe, or 6.0, I am not sure, but its not very stable.
I would like to know if any one can give me the most simple way to update to windows 6.5 or any other OS you might think is better than windows mobile 6 or 6.1.
I already read about roms, and downloading them, but all i get is links to other websites and the files that I am supposed to download are confusing me because they said its for the touch diamond, but i have a touch pro.
If any one can help me with this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
I apologize in advance for my noobiness and I appreciate any help in advnace.
Thank you and happy new year all.
