So yeah I got a IPhone clone that has WM6 and it's all running smoothly enough.
I've got a couple of issues that have lead me to think about flashing the ROM.
First off the processor is apparently always at 100% cpu even though most of the apps run fine and anytime I try to overclock the OMAP850 in it it'll just white the screen out.
So I figured maybe the ROM was a bit dodge and apparently so.
I got GEN_WM6_...
and according to the rom update utility my current ce image version is
Ôج$Øج$
Basically gibberish, when I try to run the update it complains that it can't connect to the phone.
I'm running Vista so that may have something to do with it as well. Also I don't know how to get the phone into bootloader mode as it doesn't have any front buttons just 2 for volume on the left and 2 on the right for camera and some unknown function.
Oh yeah, the other question, should I be able to flash any ROM image on to it as long as it's WM6? I'm not using Verizon, I'm using Optus in Australia.
Can anyone help me with this weird and well most probably extremely difficult problem as the phone isn't really mainstream.

You can't just get flash a rom for one phone another. It is really hard to determine which base rom is it because there are so many iPhone clones with WinMo.
Many have no technical support whatsoever, meaning there won't be an update from the clone's manufacture.

Forgive me for correcting you we3zy but I'm sure you mean you CANNOT use any roms other than your phone manufacturers version.
Finding out who the manafacturer is, is going to be a challenge for sure
I guess my main issue is that whenever I try to change the clock speed on it(it has a OMAP 850) the screen goes white and I have to do a soft reset to get it to work properly.
Hey which iphone clones are running wm6?

I believe there's a zzzPhone. Google it. Its looks very cheap however.
I just looked at the zzzPhone, sounds like not a bad device but it doesn't look anything like an iphone.

aaaaahahaha you bought one really??!
oh man, how much did you pay in us dollars?
I would love one of these clones running windows mobile but not at the price on that site. The ones not running wm6 are around $150 on ebay. Anyone know a cheaper place that has the wm6 iphone clone?
I may have found the real name for the phone and a slightly cheaper price.

@Critical_Impact Would love to know how this phone compairs to say a Wizard or Hermes? does it do everything it says correctly? i.e. dims backlight ect I ask only my girlfriend wants a iphone which I refuse to buy as its very expensive however I don't think £170 is a lot especially if a ok windows pocket pc
Wow, guess the iPhone just lost its advantage: its design. Now if they only could do the same with the nokia.....
These people can design the hell out of a handset but they run a crappy OS.
Here are a lot of *cough* *cough* clone *cough* phones running wm
http://www.eemobi.cn/Mobile/Search.aspx?CustomCategoryId=44
Including the touch
And even more of those phone's with a dodgy chinese OS
http://www.eemobi.cn/
Nice to know that site if you ever want a reserve phone. (now the only thing is to figure out how to flash them with a rom in my language )
Gotta hand it to the Chinese. I would buy one of those iPhone-like handsets if they ran a WWE ROM.
Hey guys I recently bought a n97 with windows mobile 6.1 rom in from nowsupplier . com and when I put my sim card in it I get no service does anybody know whats wrong?

Device Info reads
ROM Version WM614
Radio Version COMP_RIL_INFINEON
Stack Version ULC2-7880 module 12.17
Soft Version 1.0.8
HArdware reads
CPU XDL-S280
Rate 548MHz
RAM Size 128 MB
Flash Size 256 MB
Data Bus 32bit
Please someone help me pleaseeeeee.
Hope this helps:
http://cellphoneforums.net/phone-database/Nokia/
Good luck,
Well, there are two problems here. First, there doesn't exist a single Nokia phone that runs Windows Mobile. Second, the ROMs and Radios on this forum are specific to HTC Manufactured devices for the most part, and there's no general ROMs or Radios that are device, OS, and hardware agnostic. Sorry
Okay but the phone I have does run windows mobile software and Im just gonna flash a HTC rom and radio see how it works as soon as I find out how to bootload this joint lol

Or is it this one? http://www.micsourcing.com/NOKIA-N9...Cell-Phone-White-(2GB-TF-Card)-848-20180.html
LOL you should just bought an HTC Touch Pro if you wanted an atleast decent windows mobile phone for 200 to 800.
It was more like the second one you posted and its a fake of course but its still a windows mobile phone nevertheless I just think Its trying to connect to chinas towers instead of US towers.

Well sory to tell you, but making a device flashable with other ROM it takes a looooooot of work by professionals, to figure it out how. For every device it's different story. So a device needs a lot of support on some forum, that there is even a chance someone will make ROM for you device. NEVER INSTALL ROM FROM ANOTHER DEVICE. If you do that by by phone.
And your phone being a clone most certainly does not have any forum on the internet at all, so there is almost no chance, that you will be able to change ROM on your device.
But if it has Windows Mobile there is still a lot of customization you can do and settings and hacking to make it work like your want. So phone doesn't react at all when SIM is inside? Couse in WM 6.1 SIM should be detected and do some automatic settings stuff.
There is a chance all that you have to do, to get a signal is set the right band frequenties, the ones your country uses. That is dome somewhere in settings, if you don't know which ones you must set, call your operator.
i think i want one. how do you like yours?

The phone reacts to the sim even tells me I have voicemail but it just has the reception thing with a ! next to it and every now a then it will say searching but never pick up anything. Ive been with WM my whole life I think its just a faulty device.

150 not including shipping now its 139 though.
I feel like we are only thinking one sided, android devices should be able to boot windows mobile. I would do it but I dont know where to start.
maybe i will try and flash a wm6.5.3 wqvga rom to mytouch 3g and see what happens since they have native capacitative support in the os now.
somebody mind pointing me in the right direction?
wtf would you want windows on this? i would point you in direction of buying a windows device
only for try..i want to try win mob. on my magic..i don't like win but if i can choose with a bootloader if start android or win mob. ............so WoooW
if win mob is hard to port...we can try to port iOs... no??
(sorry for my bad english, i'm italian)
if Apple users can port Android on iFron, why we can't port iOS on Android devices???
I don't like WM either, but i think it would be nice to see iOS on Android...but in my opinion it is impossible.. if it was possible, somebody would do it already..
lele5800, because Android is open operating system, you can modify sources and build it for any device.
iOS and WM are closed..

you see you all miss the strong points of windows mobile. not only could i open view and edit office files i could open and send directly from my email (outlook mobile) i have a mytouch 3g and honestly dont like it even with froyo. the only reason i got this lacking device is because i broke my touch pro2
there are so many things I can do that i cant do on android with out a force close.
and if android is soo "cool" why not run windows mobile for people that need that good office integration for work since jobs are hard to find here in america.
I thought it would be a good idea. android to me is for people who would like to seem smart with out the need of actual know how.
the developers on the other hand seem smart to me remembering all the sudo command lol
but I seen my personal compatibility flaws with android when i couldnt open a docx or a doc file directly from my email and/or save it where I wanted to.
so dont down me for wanting better integration.
android looks nice. thats about it. the keyboard onscreen likes to close on its own and never come back. too often. so please if you arent helping the port dont say that other chitter chatter. cause the **** don't matter.

What the flying **** are you talking about? If you hate Android so much sell your myTouch3G and GTFO.
All the "flaws" your talking about aren't even real issues. File manager? Did you spend 1 minute looking through the market for a file manager app?
Opening the limitation to opening a docx file is part of the design by Microsoft why the **** would they want people to be able to open and edit documents with software that isn't getting them money? And why the **** would you want to edit your docs on a 3.2inch touch screen. FAIL
The Keyboard likes to close and never come back? That has never happened to me. You're using your phone wrong.
So android is for idiots?
Were you any smarter than you are you would have a bunch of apps that do all the things you want them to do. For example DocsToGo is an excellent program compatible with ms office files.
Android runs perfectly if you know what to run on your device. try running windows 7 on Intel 386. Works well,huh?
Exactly, your **** does not matter.
Windows mobile..never again.
Windows Phone 7.. wortha try next month
I only mentioned that some have making something for magic, but unfortunately, certains members instead of providing more, they talk and talk.
I think that is not the purpose of this forum.
your reply does not help its purpose either.
So since android can be duel booted on windows mobile devices,what's stopping windows mobile from being booted on android? Is there atleast an app that would allow more than just a windows mobile launcher? I'm trying to test out windows mobile before I make any dumb decisions. It won't be permanent,but I'd still like to know what I was getting into

its really hard to do it, they were able to get android on ios and windows phones because android is open source wp7 is not we tried to port web os to the hero awhile back but could never get it to boot and a certain someone got the thread closed because he posted a bogus guide on how he got it going but he used photo shop and posted fake screen shots of it witch resulted in a few bricked heroes. sorry for starting to ramble but you get the idea right lol.

Hello,
is there any way to install Windows 8 on this tablet? (when not, in the future?)
lg
This question has been addressed several times. In short, no, there is no way and there won't be a way. Ubuntu is under development for the TF700T though.
No, because its proprietary and will brick your tablet due hardware incompatibly. There is also ArchLinux for the ARM and the Linux kernel will be released for arm soon. This means that at least you will have many more operating systems/ROM's to choose from.

The Linux kernel for ARM has been out for a long time, otherwise Android couldn't exist.
The last time I tried Linux was about 6 years ago. It wasnt ready for non-geeks then and it still isn't now. I tried Ubuntu yesterday. 6 years mind you and it still did not manage to install flawlessly on a brand new unformatted drive on my PC. It still couldn't manage, once I did get it to install, to get a driver installed for a Linksys PCI wireless card. WMP54s have been around for a while...so have Broadcom chips. But I would still like to see what it would be like on a tablet.....

Its come much, much farther since you used/tried it and will be hitting mobile devices soon. Hopefully, it will be fully usable when it hits and more user friendly. Like just flashing a ROM rather than trying to format/install.

As mentioned many times before all over XDA Microsoft Windows 8 or RT is not a free open source OS.
Even if some clever genius somehow managed to actually do this it certainly would not be a good idea to let Microsoft find out.
I'm almost sure if this was ever cracked and installed on Android powered devices the wrath of MS would be forthcoming.
This is a real can of worms and I believe XDA would do well to forbid this subject in any of the forum sections.
The best option is to buy a device built for and legally preloaded with Windows.
Ah, no, not going to happen.
Besides, if you want W8 on a Transformer, look up "Vivo Tab."

I agree, but its not just that, the source code would be required to make it work on this device. So, its not just that its "not allowed", but that it is not physically compatible. Therefore even if cracked, it would still be of no use.
