First of all I know flash 10.1 isn't coming to WM 6.5. At least not through official channels. The part that got me interested in the news message is that they won't make it available due to missing critical API's. Does anyone know what these API's are and if there's a way to emulate them? maybe the first step to flash 10.1 on WM 6.5 via a sort of less official channel?

Where can I download platform builder for windows mobile 5.0?can anyone help me?
You can't.
PB for Windows Mobile (not CE!) is not available to the general public. You need to be an OEM recognized by MS to get one.
You could always try P2P networks, but its 7-9GB download and there is no guarantee some one leaked the real thing.
Does Platform Builder for Windows Mobile 5.0 contain WM2005?
What exactly are talking about?
It seems you have your terminology confused.
WM is short for Windows Mobile. 2005 was the initial name for the 5 version until MS (that stands for Microsoft) did an official release and everyone started calling it WM 5. Some still refer to it as 2005 (as in the year it was released).
Why do you want the Platform Builder any way? You can't make a new ROM with it.
If you jut want some code samples get the PB for CE or if you want to translate the interface (localize your device) just use a ROM dump.
Thank you for replying.

Hi,
I actually have a legitimate "Windows CE 5.0 with Platform Builder". It has product keys, holograms, everything! I came across this thread when I was googling to see if it was worth my eBaying it!
If anyone is interested, I can put up an eBay auction with a reserve of maybe £50 (it cost me £250, was worth around £500 when I bought it!).
I have "Windows CE.Net [AKA "CE 4.2"] with Platform Builder" as well; again, if there is actually some interest I can eBay it and post a link to the auction. I wasn't going to bother as it didn't look like it was going to be worth the listing fee (no one seems to sell these any more, but 4.2 was easy to buy from various UK retailers at the time, and there were a few 5.0's going on eBay when I got mine).
The CE 5.0 is completely unused (project was cancelled before I even got to start on it!); I installed 4.2 a while ago to make an OS for a device I was working on, but the project was abandoned in the end. I've since canned the PC it was on. Both products are "mine".
Just to clarify in case anyone is confused, Platform Builder is a tool that one uses to make an operating system to run on a device. I would *imagine* you could make an XDA ROM with it, if you had either some support from the device manufacturer, or were very knowledgeable - I made ROMs for a couple of ARM and x86-based "PC cards", and tweaked a ROM for a PDA-like card, but I don't know if XDAs are more complicated. You'd usually want an SDK to accompany the target platform, I think, and ideally an example ROM workspace. Sorry to anyone who already knows this, and hopefully I'm not talking out of my hat WRT XDA development (I only just found out what AKU stands for, I just didn't want anyone expressing an interest who didn't know what they were getting into (Platform Builder is IMO pretty hardcore! But OTOH, pretty good fun! You get lots of the WinCE source and can poke at it if you need to!)
Wrt terminology, I *belive* "Windows Mobile 5" is an implementation of "Windows CE 5", a bit like Ubuntu is a distribution based on Debian? OTOH I wouldn't like to bet, I found all the 4.2, .Net, CE, Mobile, Pocket PC nonsense very confusing, even at the time I'd always assumed that mobile 6.1 was based on CE6.1, but apparently it is based on CE5.2, which I guess means CE6 doesn't exist, so go figure
Windows Mobile 2003 was certainly an "implementation" of CE 4.2, because Wikipedia says so.

anyone got a link to or put me in right p2p direction for platform builder 7?
Hello, I've currently acquired tools from various threads and am new to cooking, from what I've attempted to do, I was able to dump the WM 6.1 i617 pda.bin and looked around the OEM folder. However, I'm not sure where to obtain a 6.5 pda.bin to merge (if that's what you'd do to cook)..
I'm using nhathoa's 6.1 kitchen in an earlier thread here to take out the contents..and I've been looking at nokser's i600 6.5 pda.bin. What i did was dump the 6.5 bin and then tried to merge the 6.1 bin and then build a new one, but for a file that has consolidated into 7 mb (opposed to the 53+ mb from the factory 6.1 bin) pda.bin.
Now, i'm aware of the hazards to a firmware update..and while yes, I'm taking quite a giant leap here, I would like an expert to confirm my procedures if they would yield a positive result (WM 6.5 on my Blackjack II) or would end up in utter chaos if I were to try and flash this frankenstein of a rom. If not, would anyone be able to steer me in the appropriate direction?
Also, I have heard of a display issue with the Blackjack II on cooked roms with WM 6.5, and I'm hoping to fix it by finding the right combination of files either through experimentation with i600 (Blackjack I) bins or the i637 bins (the Jack I think?).
Let's hopefully kickstart this project!
I wish I could be of more help, but I have not cooked a ROM before. I would however be very appreciative if I could find a polished WM 6.5 ROM for the BlackJack II though. I saw some topics over at another forum regarding the display issues and how items wont be transparent, but I have hope for this project because the Samsung Jack is a WM standard device running 6.5.

I know that we've run into some minor trouble, but using the 6.5 rom, it's fine despite a few minor issues. If you want, the thread is a good read, it might serve your needs and the visuals are good, also comes with the samsung wizpro interface too, albeit a few tweaks necessary to get the text adjusted accordingly.

can you substantiate what you are refering too?
As far as I know there is NO other roms available for download besides 6.1 standard from AT&t or samsung. NOTHING cooked.
Am I wrong?
And as far as I rmemeber, it's because nobody could flash it to the device.
Please tell me I am wrong as I have killed my kaiser and am back on BJ2 and would LOVE another ROM.

py8, a wonderful contributor to the scene, has created a WM 6.5 cooked ROM for the BJII/i617. This was as of 12/30/09, and so far there's not much development or updates yet. Thing is, there are just minor issues, the worst being (IMO) to be a clock delay which i'm still having trouble with. If you want, the thread is quite the read. I summarized all of our findings on post 2, and if you wish to read up on recent events, read the most recent post on the thread and move back. The first few pages of the thread were related to translating an older py8 rom which was chinese that we tried to localize properly, until py8 developed specifically an ENG/USA rom.
Viva BlackJackers!
Hi,
I have this Samsung Black Jack (aka SGH-i601). Now I spend lot of time to find where I can download Windows Mobile 6.1 OS from and didn't get any good impression on my results. Almost all links I found does not work or none of them knows any steps how to use the patch.
I'd appreciate if anyone can invest some time and tell me the proper URL of the firmware and steps how to install that.
In exactly the same boat... searched for hours trying to find a decent upgrade but only found dead ends or software that didn't work. The Australian Samsung website doesn't have an upgrade available, American one does but it is for the SGH-i607 and I was worried it might cause ISP issues.
Even when I did download the upgrade for the i607 it was asking for some [ID] & [Key]???
Can anyone assist with an upgrade that works on the SGH-i601 please?
you should look for at www.zn520.com
if not - the only thing we can do - is to make a custom build of samsung i600 WM 6.5
