Please Help... I'm very new to this and I need clarifications. - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Hello everyone...
i just bought an i-mate JAMin yesterday, so im new to windows mobile.
Its OS is (from what im reading from the "about" in the system settings):
Microsoft windows mobile version 5.0
OS 5.1.196 (build 14847.2.0.0) etc...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now i was just wondering (from what i'm reading in this forum), if my WM5 can be upgraded to WM6 ??? just like the one im reading about in this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6/default.mspx
im sure that i have a HTC phone since when i turn on my imate i get "HTC" with a white background...
======
As a quick summary, i have 2 questions:
1. After installing XDA_Exec_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship.zip , will my WM5 become WM6 ("WM6 OS 5.2.318 (Built 15341.0.0.0)")????? just like the one on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6/default.mspx
2. What are the terms "crossbow", "universal"? do i need to know those terms before upgrading my i-mate?
Thank you a lot in advance... and thanks a lot helmi_c
sorry if i sound dumb but im really overwhelmed

anyone ?

1st: You mentioned IMate Jam? This is a HTC UNIVERSAL thread otherwise known as O2 Executive, MDA TMobile PRO, QTEK 9000, IMate JASJAR, etc... I don't know what an IMate JAM is. So I am concluding you are on the wrong page.
2nd: On the first question you posted, YES that link is WM6 or CROSSBOW for the HTC UNIVERSAL. So, I am assuming you are using a different phone since the name you posted is IMate JAM. DON'T INTERCHANGE THEIR NAMES, AS YOU CAN SERIOUSLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
3rd: The term you mentioned HTC UNIVERSAL is the generic name. O2 Executive, MDA TMobile PRO, QTEK 9000, IMate JASJAR, etc... are brand names. CROSSBOW is the same as Windows Mobile 6.

umm... actually its JAMIn... i-mate JAMIn...
are there other forums than Universal with ROM updates ? precisely for i-mate JAMIn ?
i'm really confused here... but are those ROMs replicas of an official WM6 upgrade from microsoft ? do the ROMs give the 'impression' that users have installed WM6 or are they true ones ? (after all , the version of helmi_c's ROM for example is WM6 OS 5.2.318 ... so its basically still version 5... right ?
btw from my "Device Information" in the system settings I read that my ROM version of my JAMIn is 2.13.9.23 WWE.... does that mean that if I install helmi_c's ROM (2.01.08 WWE) I'll be DOWNGRADING my ROM ? :S:S:S
thx in advance

Check your device and look for your proper forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php
You might seriously destroy your device if you use our ROM. I suggest you read more about your device on the proper forum.
These ROM's for the Universal are UNOFFICIAL release, but they are genuine Microsoft Crossbow ROMs made to run on our device.

Jeees... please don't be flashing your phone to this ROM, it's kinda important to know what phone you have before you go blindly flashing!

Radio Upgrade

WM6?
Long time BA user, tried every WM5 ROM out there and just wish I was technical enough to try building one myself but I'm not. Just wondering though; since there are so many WM6 ROMS for the Wizard, and since the first WM5 ROMS were ported from Wizard... shouldn't we be able to get WM6 on the BA?
I was able to flash the radio after my WM5 upgrade.
PLS where is the guide and rom for upgrade BlueAngel from W2003se to W5? Wery thanks

HP iPAQ hx4700 and Crossbow

Hi there,
Since Crossbow is running perfectly on my Universal, I wanted to give another model a try, so anyone ever succeeded in having the iPAQ hx4700 running Crossbow?
I know it might be a bit dangerous, but I already tried to put the hx4700 in the bootloader and to flash a HTC Universal Crossbow ROM.
It actually starts upgrading, but after a few %'s the screen turns blank and with a soft reset the device will restart.
Something to forget or is there a way?
i m currently doing some rom cooking for my 4700...
working out the wm6!
Great!!
I'd say: please share when you've something done.
i cant find anything similar to initflashfiles.dat
Hi everybody...

Is this a ROM for the hx4700?
If it isn't this is no new leaked ROM. It's one of the first WM6 ROM's for the HTC Universal. Many other have already been released after this one.
thats not for 4700
but i m trying to do sth with it
hope u guys will develop a great rom for his GrEAT device too
however i m improving the speed of wm5
like editing paging pool and removing some rubbish
added some wm6 rings into the rom and stuff.

Any progress made on a Crossbow ROM for hx4700?
I'm really interested on some new ROM for the hx4700. It has not been beaten yet in terms of speed and screen size! Why not WM6 on it??
I already found a few ROM's, but i'm hoping too, that the hx4700 community will pick this up as well as the HTC one ...
Bart

WM6 Upgrade (XDA Mini S) using Official XDA Orbit WM6 OS-ROM possible?

Hello,
I am really new with in this topic and think i would need some advice / maybe help to try an wm6 upgrade of my O2 XDA Mini S (Qtek 9100).
I currently have the following plan:
Recently O2 released an WM6 Upgrade for the (much newer) XDA Orbit Model. So far I was able to extract the ROM-Update contents (got some nb-files including one 06_OS.nb).
I also have done a backup of my current ROM using aWizard. The tool created a backup that consists of some nba-files (there's also an os-rom-file). Is it possible to convert the Orbit WM6 OS-ROM to nba-format and exchanging the original OS-File of the aWizards-Backup to flash it back to my XDA with WM6?
Some might say I could use an WWE WM6 (f.e. Crossbow), but I would like to have WM6 in German and don't know where else I could find one matching in German for my phone.
Could anyone help me or give me some advise?
Best Regards
Gabriel
DON'T!! You will destroy your Mini S.
Go to the Wizard Forum and look/search in there.

Hello, thanks for your reply. I recently had a look at some posts about upgrading. But so far I didn't find a post to cook a ROM basing on my own (original O2) OS-ROM. The procedures I figured out in the forum seem to be very complicated. Isn't there a less complicated way to do it?
Best Regards
Gabriel

help finding official WM6.1 Rom for Spv M3100

Hi experts,
I need to get official Wm6.1 rom for my spv m3100 (Orange).
I tried to search forum and wiki, but failed to get some required result.
I would really appreciate if anyone can find my desired rom.
In fact I have'nt dumped my original wm5 rom and loaded HARDSPL 7 and then flashed with other hermes roms one by one.
Thanks a lot
The last official upgrade for hermes was wm6
You will never found the 6.1 stock for hermes.
Thanks for the reply.
So officially, only WM 6 was released and WM 6.1 was built by people themselves?
And where can I find official WM 6 Rom for Hermes Orange (SPV M3100)
Thanks
Seek and you shall find!

Yes, I have HardSPL 7. But that's for preventing the Bricking.
Why original rom will brick a HardSPL installed phone?

Upgrade WM5 to WM6 on Arte200 (Artemis?)

Hi, i'm a little bit confused on models of ARTE200 and his association with HTC P3300.
I've a pocket PC Orange branded:
Model: ARTE200
Platform: PocketPC
Windows 5 English
If i don't get wrong this pocket pc is like HTC P3300 branded.
Now i would upgrade my windows to Windows 6 and my dubt is:
can i follow instructions for "WM6.5 ROMs & Kitchens by SHADY313 28005 Release 1" at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546805
Other problem is (may be in this case i'm very ignorant) how can i do an hard reset after flashing ? I know soft-reset but hard-reset no.
I've read also "How to install windows mobile 6 for htc p3300(Artemis)?" at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601315
Can i apply this also to my pocket PC ?
Thanks in advance and excuse me for my ignorance.

Hi,
ARTE 200 is the HTC P3301, but I don't know if you can flash the ROM of P3300.
Bye,
Silvio
I have a ARTE200 too. It's called O2 XDA Orbit here. I allways flash the normal Artemis Roms to this phone. The Only Problem is that the Backlight sometimes turn off after reset when i have flashed the custum SPL 1.11.cmon
But this is just a little thing
Oh i forgot. For Hard-Reset you press the left and right softkey button together and then turn on or make a softreset. wait until some text is displayed and you can release the two buttons.
But i think in the forum it's postet somewhere
you can flash the ROMs posted here in the artemis section
but before that you will need to get USPL which allows you to flash custom ROMs (ie ROMs posted by XDA members)

Thanks for all tips. Now i've studied many things and new dubts "born".
I've discovered that my PocketPC is XDA ORBIT (not ORBIT 2).
The question is: for flashing ROM i must install the WM6 original rom (downloaded from xda.o2.co.uk) ?
Otherwise i can use one from the following:
MANILA 2D
NO_NONSENSE SERIES
CLEAN ROM
WM 6.5 BETA SERIES
CLEAN ROM(GER)
If i can't use one of roms posted by sheennick123456, i should download the original rom from xda.o2.co.uk but in the web-site i can upgrade to WM6 only for XDA oRBIT 2 e not for my model. In your opinion, can i solve the problem or forget it ?
I've also tried to search original rom in this site but i can understand that is impossibile, i get wrong ?
I'm still a bit confused and afraid of doing "****" ,excuse the vulgarity.
Others suggestions ?
Thanks again.

german WM 6.0xdaorbit-windows-update.exe ?

Thanks again and excuse me for disturb.
