Old HP iPAQ 3970 2003 upgrade - General Questions and Answers

I recently obtained a vintage iPAQ 3970 in great order but it still has the 2002 version of the OS . I have been looking everywhere for the upgrade but no luck. I found torrents but they are all dead now. I have a WiFi PC card for it but it won't work without the upgrade. Please can someone help me find it.

Spectec SDW-820 wifi card - cannot use on XDA II

hey i need help regarding this new wifi card i bought.. does not seem to work on my XDA II.
Rom 1.72.00WWE
radio version 1.17.00
ext ROM 1.72.901
Hello
was there an update ? Because I see that the XDA II is in
the compatibility list
D you still have a problem ?
I wished to buy that card on my XDA II (upgraded WM 6.1)
Well, please search. There is a lot of posts around here about these spectec wifi cards. They work pretty well, but you have to find the right driver. The wm6 driver does not seem to work well on my device, but the 2003SE or the wm5 one (I don't remember which one, give a try...) works flawlessly (even on wm6.1)
hi,
i am having no end of problems with my Spectec 820 and my himalaya XDA 2.
I got it going when i was running the stock WM 2003, but i have since updated to WM5 and now WM6 and have not been able to get it running with any of the drivers off the website.
I have used all of the drivers (WM 2003, WM5 WM6) as suggested on this site when i have had WM5 and WM6 installed with absolutely no luck.
The only glimmer of hope was that when running the WM5 driver on WM6 it came up with wifi symbol on the top of the Today screen but the device wouldnt do anything else, i couldnt get a connection, it was if it recognised there was some kind of wifi card but nothing more, no networks, no searching not a sausage.
I am very frustrated as i really want WIFI but dont want to give up on my Himalaya as even now, running WM6 i think it is a great device.
I am contemplating buying a SPectec 821 but i am worried it will not work.....
Anybody ha ve any ideas?
hello
guess i can help you, by sending you this:
WM6.1 by Chandra Shekhar, the best i ever tested its rocks !
wifi, gps and all stuf, works, perfectly
hope, its gonna help you, a bit, enjoy!
thanks to Chandra Shekhar
Hello!
I'd like to know if this card works on MDA I.Please answer

hw6515

I think it would be great for the experienced members of this board to start taking a look at the hw6515. It is after all made by HTC. There is so much crap on mine, and I wuld love to take mst of i off. So anyone who knows what they're doing...help! P.S. I think Imay have extracted the rom but when I try to open it with the rom editor the passwords won't work, and I have tried several others. p.s.s i also unlocked ipaq file store and ipaq rom using the Harrier_EXTrom.Unlock.exe found on this site, however there is next to nothing in it.
Okay I just used DumpROM and extracted all the files in my ROM, I am completely new to this so what would be the next step?
I have upgraded to HW6515 from mini too, was able to install CallerID for HW6515.
Hope this website will support HW6515 too.
Yes me too i have now got a HW6515
And is very very good
I do hope that support will be on this website
Can any of you guys post the BT Cab file here so that we can try it out on the XDA's ? Apparently, the HP6515 BT stack supports BT voice dial and is very stable with clear audio without any static.
Would be highly appreciated.
if you tell me how to getit of the device i will do it for you
as for the voice dial its very good ihave just had in a few southwing headsets and they work very well £11.99 in P & P from ebay

I'm thinking of getting thr 6515 but it is still very expensive at the moment. Has anyone managed to get BB Connect for it yet? Until this is available I won't buy. Plus later this year it is supposed to have WiFi and WM2005 added.
Hi all!
I have a 6515 too for test. The os seam's to be locked and I can't Add Root Cert
I try to contact HP but they have no solution for this problem. Can someone has a utility that work to unlock it ?
And is the 6515 some kind of Blueangel ?
Thx all
No and No I think are the answers to your questions.

iPAQ Help pls

I'm not sure if this is appropriate or not but I figured someone on here could point me in the right direction..
I have an iPAQ 4155 Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 2003 (non SE) on it, and it's very snappy, speed-wise, and I also own a HTC Wizard, I know the Wizard comes with 2005 but 2006 is also for it now but not officialy from t-mobile as far as i know but anyways, i've heard of a couple people putting WM2003SE and 2005 on the ipaq model i have, even though its not officially from HP, does anyone know how I could possible figure out how to put wm2k3SE,2k5 or 2k6 on it ? would it be possible to 'cook' one up for it or whatnot ?

Ipaq H5450 WM 2005 Upgrade help or information.......

I know this forum is loosley based around HTC PDA's but i'm wondering if anyone can shed any light or help me in my search for an upgrade to my H5450.
I bought this PDA a few years ago and it has been rock solid ever since i got the WM2003SE upgrade.
However after using an upgraded himilaya i have now seen what i've been loosing out on.
I am utterly dissapointed at HP/Compaq for dropping WM2005 support for a £350 PDA less than a year after i purchased it.
I am wondering if anyone has any links to information or indeed a firmware upgrade that would take my H5450 to WM2005??? I tink this pda still packs a lot of features and WM2005 would just top this off.
Again, i know this is a HTC Orientated forum but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do you still have the WM2003SE upgrade package? I can not find it anywhere. I have a H5455

Looking for Dell Axim x51v WM6.1 L11 20273 (LennySh Edition)

There's a name I'm sure many of you haven't heard in a loooooong time. I recently had this old beast dropped on my desk and decided to tinker with it in my free time. Does anyone have the LennySh modified Windows Mobile 6.1 files? I'd really like to get it up and running on this thing. His forums (HTCGeeks) haven't given me much luck, so I'm wondering if anyone here would have the files and be able to upload them to a new file host.
EDIT: After going into overdrive with my Google-fu I have found the file, and I've rehosted it. You can find it here.
