upgrading ppc2003 to wm5
I just did this upgrade yesturday, I had my 4700, I bought WM5 on eBay, I follow instructions on it and because I didn’t look at Vista specials, I got my Ipaq totally off. It got stack on loading, showing only USB and version 1.01 gray screen.
Well, I download bootloader on my PC with windows XP, start it, select file to load in (CEOS_UPG) and after cca 10 min. I can enjoy my hp4700 again with new WM5. Now I know, that there is no problem with this tool to go back to WM5, I am going to try WM6, I will try to use install from vista and I will see. Going to try WM6_4700_RELEASE4.

Hi there,
I read the forum for some days now and did learn quite a lot. Unlocked my T-Mobile MDA Vario II, flashed HardSPL, and also a new WM6 Rom. Since I'm on Vista i have some Problems now. After the WM6 Rom was on the Device Vista detected a new Mobile Device and now Mobile Device Center from Vista is freaking out, sometimes it detects my phone, sometimes not. I pressume because of WM6, since with WM5 on the Phone i didn't have these Problems..
Anyone knows something about that?
Another thing is, i really would like to have a german wm6 rom, but the Tool to convert a .nb to a .nbh file i found in the Wiki (Koch) doesn't seem to work in Vista, i always get an compiler error when i load the .nb file. Are there any other Tools or could someone here maybe just build me a german rom with Vodafone OEM stuff and convert it for me?
regards,
nEUTRon
You really need to read mrvanx guide, look at my signature.

I must learn to read properly! The problem is caused because the device centre sees it as a new device, it would be best to uninstall the device centre and reinstall it that should sort it. In regards of the tools problem I know of nothing to fix this, I have to run mine on XP it is the only way.
Damn...Thanks anyway. So i have to make my rom when i'm back at office with some XP machine
I have the same problems with Vista detecting my phone. I sometimes have to plug and unplug it three times before it detects it. Also, it seems to work best for me with the option "Enable advanced networking functionality" unchecked in Settings | Connections | USB to PC.
Hello. Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I am new to flashing roms, and I don't know who to ask for help. I have an audiovox ppc4100 and all I want to do is upgrade it to windows mobile 5 or 6. Just something other than wm2003. I've downloaded numerous wm6 and wm5 images from this site (They are extremely cool looking from the screenshots I've seen!) but I cannot seem to get any of them to work. I am running windows vista, so activesync isn't available. Its the windows mobile device center. It would just be easiest if I could rom upgrade from my 2gb sd card. Is there anyone who can help me either cook a wm5 or wm6 rom for my ppc4100 or give me some pointers on how to do this (remember, I'm a newbie!) I would really appreciate anyone's help. Thanks so much!

A year late, but I have a H3870 ppc 2003 upgrade.exe ..I'm looking for H3950 ppc 2003 upgrade .
So if interested ...we can do a trade if still require one...or any one ?
Nb..brought my vintage 3800 and 3900 devices to life again after replacing the battery cell with a Mr Messy Powerbank 3.7 battery with a bit of soldering involved as you need to keep the main battery cct board.
I have 2 dell x50v's....I had done an upgrade to WM6 about 6 months ago and it worked fine, still does. I have a second one that I want to upgrade to WM6 from WM2003se. I have more or less forgotten how to do it...I have an RAR file that I found on here MagLite edition and another that my old man bought on EBay as a digital download. Neither of them work.
Right now I have the A05 ROM in the x50v and I am trying to find the right file to upgrade it to WM5 A01....but I can't find it....Can someone post up a file of what I need and some instructions. I am pulling my hair out here
i have got a Hp iPaq 614 Business Navigator (without camera)
i won it 1 year ago in a lottery: i found it was in german..
i tried this year to change the Rom, without success
first i want to install the WM 6.1 English, but i don't know how i can do it with a .dio file
can u help me please?? thx
i found the file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404657
then, maybe, i'll try the 6.5 version of WM; i'll do it when the RTM will release
thank u again

Howdy, simple instructions....Put your Flash file that you downloaded in root folder of your mSD card then turn off your phone.
Important step: hold down your Mute button and Microphone button together and the push the Power On button....when you see on your display message "SDBoot Loader...." you are good to go for update....just leave then firmware to do the upgrade and voila you have a Clean Boot of whatever ROM you downloaded either 6.1 or 6.5....Enjoy.....
