Hi there,
I know and understand the reasons why M$ did not release a WM5 ROM for this old device although the hardware supports it. My question would be: Is it possible for someone to cook a WM5 or later ROM for it starting from a ROM designed for a similar iPaq? I really don't know much about cooking ROMs but I am willing to learn. I just want to know if it's worth it..
Thanks.
Microsoft does not release any device ROMs, hp does in this case.
WM5 required at least 64MB ROM and 64MB RAM, so h3900 series iPAQs are not compatible.
And it's not possible to a cook new ROM for it.

Hi,
I just wondered if anybody could confirm whether the impending WM6 release for the T-Mobile Dash will be of any use to the ROM Cookers here? I'm still using Helmi's v1.1, and think it's great, but could do with a bit more stability, and was hoping a "release" ROM might provide that.
The reason I ask is that it appears that the Dash's ROM has leaked already, but I haven't seen a Universal ROM that seems to be based around the new released core, as I would have expected, or have I missed something?
Cheers,
Steve.
Dash is A SP phone;
Uni is A PPC phone;
can't build uni rom based on dash core.
allway: as U said, and second thing(even if dash will be ppc) is more than possible that has different HW - thats the reason why U cannot use ie hermes roms for uni.
but u can use some parts of roms from different device usually bundled sw, mms, voice dials....

Fair enough. I thought the two platforms were being brought together, and realised that the difference in hardware may already be handled by the drivers etc that we already have.
Presumably there will be apps etc that may be of use, as phsnake said.

Hi, i would like to ask any professionals if the IPAQ Rx 3417 or Rx3715 running wm2003se will be able to upgrade to wm5 or even wm6 becuase since the IPAQ 4700 can, i dont know if the devices internal are the same or not.
Sorry
Theres no way you can upgrade th RX3715.
i still own one though its got a broken lcd+digitizer, no WM5 upgrade so i didn't even bother fixing it.
great little device though, i do miss it somewhat...
true....but since i saw on the net that the Rx3417/3715 and the hx4700 use the same rom....so just wondering if theres anyone who can do something about it... anyways....too bad...haha...thx 4 ur reply
Whoever wrote that 3417/3715 and 4700 use the same ROM was very wrong!
The 4700 is a VGA device (it has 640x480 screen) while the other two are QVGA (320x240).
Also I believe there are other hardware differences so they can not possibly use the same ROM.
I have the IPAQ 4350 [Not the Phone version]. It is just the regular PocketPC with 2003 OS I believe. I would like to know if this can be upgraded or purchase a newer ROM that handles the limited 64MB RAM memory better. Is version WM 6 or 6.1 even possible. maybe not? If so how do I do this. This is a great forum.
You can find lots of ROMs here yes, but most of them are for the phones, since they are used mostly by people who want to tweak 'em. I'm also still looking for a nice ROM for my Ipaq 4350, but in the meantime I'll just enjoy my Touch Diamond's new ROM If you find a nice ROM please pm me
Hi guys!
Can someone point me to a working WM 6.1 ROM for the Blackjack i600?
I have found some ROMs etc, but only for the i607 etc......
Those are not compatible on the i600.
I want to use the sliding panels homescreens and stuff.
Im not sure if there is a stable, working (Fully working) WM 6.1 ROM for this device.
Any ideas???
someone called Da_G was working on a rom for the i607, not quite the same, flashing the i600 to this would involve losing some functionality which is why i have not already done this for my i600.
but yeah, i would love to see WM6.1 for this phone. i have been trying a HTC Hermes the last couple of days, and just can't switch over even though the HTC Hermes is better software-wise, since the i600 has too much about it that i would miss by switching, the slim build, the handsfree, the simplicity. i will probably upgrade to the i780 some day if we don't get WM6.1....
anyone know where there are samsung original ROMs online. I have an i620 and would love to start cooking something for it, but without a original image I don't want to take the risk. Even an i600 rom image might help me in the right direction.
Look here for the available ROMs WM5 and WM6 for the european i600:
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Samsung_i600
I have flashed successfully my orange branded i600 to the ROM "i600UXXGG2" and would really like to see a WM6.1 ROM for the device.
i hope samsung will be release 6.1 rom for i600 ^^
I want to go back a little bit. i have googled... and searched through the Kaiser forum!
I am wondering if it is even possible to rum WM 5 on the Kaiser!

NO...fast route to a paper weight.
a good place to start
First I will say, I don't care why you want to do this, if you want to, good for you, give it a shot. I myself have been working on getting windows for workgroups to run on my tytn II, just for the heck of it, I have had no success yet, but have been able to run windows 3.0.
Second, I would think a good place to start would be with someone who is familiar with cooking for wm5 and wm6, ask them if wm5 is compatible with the tytn II chip set and if the roms build in the same way or a different way. In other words ask them if you cook a wm5 base rom, the same way you do a wm6 base rom.
Third, you have to make sure the way wm5 uses resources is compatible with the way the kaiser shares and stores the os and programs.
A while back a similar question was asked about wm2003 and the tytn, the reason they wanted it was because the wm2003 os uses very little memory which would in theory free up resources pending on your needs. The outcome was that the way wm2003 runs and uses resources, was not compatible with the tytn chip set.
Hope this helps a little, you might want to hit up Erofich in a pm, he has done work on both os's, but not the kaiser.
