Hi does anyone have the Pocket PC 2003 upgrade for the H3970 ipaq I have one with 2002 one it but the was a 2003 OS upgrade available at one point and I have hit dead ends trying to get it I'm hoping someone might still have it.

No one? Darn.. I realize it is old hardware and it's a reach that someone would still have this but was hoping someone might have it or even know where to find it..

You're doing what I'm doing, looking at old tech
I've recently bought a HP Ipaq 1940h, and the famous HTC HD2.
Now I'm looking into modding them like i did back in the old days, and I cant find anything! Links are dead everywhere (something called linkrot lol)
I've found a fair bit for the HTC HD2, and I'm downloading and archiving it on my PC.
For the iPaq range though, there is not much stuff around!

from last time you asked
and another hit search gave
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23374&highlight=2005+backpack
Thanks for the post.
I asked again because if you look at the last time I asked someone said the Backpack worked fine with Windows Mobile 2005 for the XDA2i (Alpine), but no version of Windows Mobile 2005 exists (AFAIK) for this PDA.
On asking for further information the respondant wasn't forthcoming, so how could I trust this reply (I certainly wasn't going to buy a backpack based on this reply).
I therefore posted another topic knowing it would get someone else's attention as it was clear the original post wasn't achieving much.
I wasn't intended to be awkard just keen for a proven answer.

I own a backpack and after wm5 upgrade, it stopped functioning ... no one seemed to have the solution ...
The Story of the Backpack?
@ all: The problem here is that there aren't enough of us with the Backpacks that have "officially" upgraded to WM2005 for the simple fact that IT IS NOT SUPPORTED by most of the name branded HTC Himalaya devices... I am sure that there is some marketing sense as to why we are the only ones NOT able to offically upgrade to the new MS OS, however when you look at the market with all of the new Pocket PC/GSM Combos, like the HPs and the Mios, etc... they ALL HAVE 2003SE in them and NOT WM5. This leads me to beleive that we will either upgrade to WM5 and NOT have our Backpacks work or we will stay with an OS where everything works - 2003SE.
Reminds me of their marketing scheme for Millenium Edition, what a joke when all of the Kmarts and Walmarts could not handle all of the complaints due to OS failures... didn't last long though and they got their act together with the NEXT OS's, stealing linux kernels et al. And so the story goes on....
I too have a backpack and I have upgraded to WM5 and back at least 4 times... the only reason I come back to 2003SE is for the Wifi Compact Flash I have - I think that I will get a Wifi SD and start enjoying WM5 while it lasts.
I remember when Buzz and The man named 'M' to which we were not allowed to mention his name for a while as MS launched threats at the forums and all the FTPs where whiped clean by 'unknown' sources - WM5 was unofficially released and became public domain... the only reason in my opinion that there are any devices at all with WM5 on them is because the rebels in this forum dared to push the bounderies with an unstable and beta phased OS, which of course did not advance much since the days of 2004.
So either get used to the backpack NEVER working with WM5 with our devices or get used to staying with 2003SE, sorry to sound negative - only seeing it as real as it is.
Just my 0.02€....
Here's to the crew of the old school boys makin **** happen:
(Not at all surprising where the quote is from):
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
- Steve Jobs
I prefer to stick with WM2005 and don't want 2 go back to other OS. WM5 is the best OS so far, and right now I had to live without my backpack 4 a while until one day someone will solve this problem ...
FYI, there is a person who is able to use backpack in WM5 and his name is Rictec. I don't know how he did it. He once helped me to make my backpack worked but failed in doing so ...
Pls read my thread in buzzdev.net in WM5 about backpack ... He and Dotfred offered solution to this matter but for me that solution never works. Maybe for the other this may help them in bringing the backpack to work again ...
Hi everybody! I'm new here. Please i need your help! I've got a PDA Compaq iPAQ 3870 with pocket pc 2002 premium, and i want do upgrate to 2005, as i want to use my device with a gps. Is it possible to do this? Can you gave me directions urls/pages/websites, where can i find it?
Thks a lot!!!
roms have to be 100% made for a device to work
so unless hp made 2005 for that device no dice
Hi Rudegar! Tkhs for your reply. Anyway i ask you, is there an upgrade that i can do, in a way that the iPAQ 3870 works well with a gps and respectivly a software (ex: Tom Tom, or other). Tks again!!!
dont have any idear i think hp sell or let ppl download their rom upgrades
and if this or any other site had [email protected] warez versions of hp roms they would most likely try to get this site closed
so your best bet is to look at hp's site
Hello again!! Tks again for your prompt reply. I'am going to follow your hint, and go to hp site. Tak!!!!!!
Help !!! Hp Ipaq 3870 upgrade to 2003.
Searching for ages this firmware.Could anyone help me where can i get the latest firmware for hp ipaq 3870.The 2003 firmware.Drop me the links to downloads.Thanks a million.
The only firmware update for the 38xx series is WM2003. If you don't find it (it may be long removed from Compq/ HP's pages), look around on eBay or P2P networks. (The latter is legal with discontinued, not-otherwise-available products.)
Updates for the 3870 from 2002 to 2003 (Not SE) are still available via Ebay, I bought one not to long back for a 3970, pay no more than a couple of quid for it, seriously some will try and charge you nearer £40.
a newbies hello
i just bot a motorola mpx200 off ebay for $20
it unlocked. cant wait to play with it newtoy newtoy
this is my first smartfone. i was doing some google searches and came across this site. looking for wm2003 i guess right off the bat. so far have read that wm5 run kinda slow. since smartfones are new for me i figure wm2003 should be fine for me to tinker around with.
didnt see wm2003 on the ftp.
Welcome to the site.
Although we have sub forums for some smartphones here, MPX200 is not one of them. I suggest you also check out www.spv-developers.com as well (if you haven't already).
As for the ROMs we can no longer keep any on the FTP. M$ came down hard and made the admins remove them.
Try rapidshare and the likes, but make sure you have a good virus scanner.
Most important make sure you know 110% what you are doing before changing the ROM or you will be looking for a new deal on a phone!
I am not new to ROM's and updating hardware with them, however my efforts to date have been with windows mobile phones such as my hermes and previous PPC devices.
I have not upgraded a smartphone though. I have a 2125 that has been sitting idle for some time as my hermes become my primary phone. I love the form factor of the 2125 but have always found it lacking, particulary with regards to not having outlook notes and office. I had found some third party tools way back then to satisfy that need at the time but it sucked to have to depend on third party apps for something so basic.
Anyway, I am blabbing. I want to confirm a couple of things with those more knowledgable about these phones.
Correct me if I am wrong but the tornado is the 2125 according to various wiki's and things out there. So I assume that most of these posts in here related to WM6 running on the tornado apply to the 2125 as well?
Does the WM6 for these phones include built in Notes application now which syncs with Outlook as it does for the PPC platform?
Thanks in advanced for any help, appreciate the efforts of all involved.
Yep, heres the Guide to Flash it. http://karhoe.byethost33.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21
Much better phone now with wm 6 on it.
I just got one of these phones for my girlfriend and wanted to upgrade it for her too. That link seems to be gone, anymore information?
