Hello guys,
I am new here at XDA, I dig out this forum for two days allong trying to find any information or resources to the Ipaq 116.
This PDA was given to me by a friend that don't even remember that he had it, when he found he gave it to me before move to another State. So I am here with this old new gadget without manuals or even basic CD. And even in this situation I am a little excited to do things with it.
As I said before, I already dig out this forum trying to find any information to this specific model but I had no success, even on the HP site they give no downloads, informations or any other stuff about this one.
Apparently this specific model, 116, is exactly like other models as the 114 (but with a largem rom, 256 vs 64) So, since I am really a n00b with PDAs I am here asking and calling people that have it, or had it in the past and still keep good memory (and or files) for it.
There's any chance to find a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM to upgrade this model? Right now the ROM date is "04-07-2008" and the revision number is the v1.01.03.
Does Android would work on it? If yes where should I start?
My point is to try use it the best way I can, so far I was able to find some ebook readers (that don't work very good) and the updated application to it's TodayPanel.
Any kind of information would be appreciated. I know that is couple years old gadget but it is working fine and can be usefull to me, so, any contact would be appreciated.
Just a information. I am not sure that this is windows mobile 6, i am just replicating the info that was on the chart. As I see, the OS version is the 5.2 so, I have another "problem".

I was directed to this website from somewhere, with only the knowledge that my phone is a 'Universal'. I currently want to upgrade its OS to WM6, but i have no idea how or what actual version to put on. Theres an overwhelming amount of ROM's and i have no idea which one to use, or if they will even work with my phone let alone my provider.
Can someone please help me out?

You're in the right place, just start reading at the wiki and then do some foot work through the posts. you'll get there in the end.
Hello guys,
i know this smartphone is old and all but i see there is still a lot of things going on and i would like to get more into it. I'm especially interested in rom cooking for this device but i can't seem to find much information.
Any usefull information that i could use as a starting point? Software that i should look into? Documents concerning this specific model?
Thanks
Wow, 50 views and not a single reply. The Q must be a dead system uh?
Well, i'm still hoping for something to come up
Hi fellow members of XDA!
This is a question I putting to the community (hope to receive more answers than my previous question.
I've been browsing around the web for the last few day in search of way to make my own tablet pc. I think I found some interesting things to get me going and I do have an old laptop that I think I could easily use for my adventure. And so, now that the Hardware part is (in theory) solved I've reach another problem. The OS part. I know android is open source, that most likely I would easily put linux running on the machine, but somehow I want to make it windows mobile capable. Call it a whim if you want.
After reading some stuff around this forum about rom cooking (and I'm no programmer) I have more questions than answers.
So my big question is: If a XDA Rom Cook had access to the device specs, could it build a windows mobile rom for that same device? What specs would he/her need?
Another idea of mine is: I have an old blue angel and a prophet stopped at home. Could I salvage parts from them to the tablet pc?
And here is another question: Where can I get the touch screens, casings and other tablet pc components? Does anyone here knows?
Thanks for reading. I'll start on this project soon and let you know how it goes.
Cheers
Hi all.
I have a sonim XP3 quest pro. I like it because its tough, the battery lasts 4 weeks and it really is water proof. What i really dont like is his software.
I have been (frustratingly) searching the internet about what can i do about it and found out that:
- Sonim is not making firmware updates
- the core of this phone is Philips Nexperia 5210 with arm9 processor
- there were other phones with this processor ( like sony ericson p990) and run symbian
so my questions are:
Can i install symbian (at least 9.1) on it? If so where can i find it to download? it seems i can't find older versions.
And how do i do it? I'm not an expert....
If its impossible, or not worth it, what can i do? (and don't tell me to throw it away and buy another)
Thanks.
so... my question is not even worth answering....
when you made the "scare-the-noob" video you should add "if you searched everywere and did not find it, don't bother asking. most likely we don't know and we are ashamed to admit that we don't know everything"
a simple "I don't know" would have been more polite than no answering.
thanky you anyway. at least i learned how this forum is willing to help.
lol.
hi, i nned to reflash sonim xp5700. can someone help me?

As a result of the search, he found an effective method. You need to use the Infinity box CM2.
With this program, a backup was made that was successfully installed on another phone. Who will help me to repackage the firmware for a free program?
Hello, I'm a new member, who would very much appreciate some advice please.
I have recently been given an HP ipaq H5550 with docking station, and it does power up. It has a Rom Revision of 1.10.10. I'd like to know if this ipaq can be upgraded at all, either with a new OS and how to go about upgrading it, or even where to get software for this from, even something like a basic drawing program that my nephew could use without it being online.
It does see my wifi network, but won't connect to it, I know though it is something I'm doing wrong, just not sure what.
My friend also still has his H4700, and would appreciate a similar answer. Can this model be upgraded with a new OS at all ?
Any comments would be appreciated, or any links where we could send the ipaqs to in order to be upgraded so that it's done by those with experience would also be appreciated.
Thank you
