XDA IIS Running WM2005 (Edit : not proven yet)

After noticing that wm2005 was availible for himalaya i decided to try n make it work on the XDA 2s my attempt was a complete success and my xda 2s now runs WM2005 to make it run though is extremely difficult and i will create a Tutorial later today along with screenshots
Regards

Hrmm...considering the WM2005 rom that was leaked was a rom specifically designed for the hardware of the Himalaya, I would still be weary of putting it on a Blue Angel, even if it was indeed possible.

Can you post how u did that ? thanks

Hmmmm, new user, logs in for the first time and his (or her) first and only post is to say WM2005 is on a BA device.........
Me thinks NOT!
Well lets wait and see......

I happen to agree with you there, but as you said, only time will tell.

Hey it makes a change from the first post being "How do I upgrade"?

So let's give him a chance. Waitin for a tutorial...

Has anyone tried MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe with the Windows Mobile 2005 Himalaya Rom we have on a Blue Angel? I'm too scared of the consequences to try .

Already try didn't work.

*impatiently waits*

patiently, maybe not
I also and waiting patiently, or not, for the upgrade tutorial.
I hope it is not a hoax.

Come.... on... we are waiting... show us how to do it

Mods should just shut this bogus thread down. If they're legit, they can recreate the thread with details.

I totally agree. Shut this thread down before it gets too many more people's hopes up.

close this thread??? ban him for life!!!

Yeah right, suurrre it works...Not!
If this guy has managed to get a 2005 ROM on a BA. One of us would have bugged the crap out of him for him to upload his Rom Dump by now. Is everyone as (yawwwn)... skeptical as me? We just might as well wait for the new T-mobile MDA IV and the XDA ??? three and a half or four something.. well you get the idea. I love my Blue Angel but I am not going to brick it on OS that was NEVER orginally written for it.
It has been going on more that 9 months since the Blue Angel release and it is already high time for the carriers to start pushing the upcoming all new, all 2005 loaded, redesigned models instead of wasting anymore time trying to please anyone of us who made HTC rich from buying one of thier cellular branded $800- $1000 phones. But as the saying goes....seeing is beliveing.

hahahah..this is total crap
i already tried flashing the wm2k5 rom on my BA ...doesnt work dude
i think the thread starter is a bog fat liar..if thats his way (by lying) to start a relationship i think we shod warn his wife..

I totally agree with that

[REQ] Windows Mobile 5 on XDA IIi

Hi, Does anyone know if there is an update to XDA IIi to Windows Mobile 5.0.
I know there is one for the Himalaya version of XDA.
I have spoken to 02 and they say that it is highly unlikely and would be releasing the XDA II Exec with WM2005. Any info would be gratefully received.
Mod edit: Please be sure to mark requests with [REQ]

Double post deleted.
And there is currently no WM 5 for that device.

Can't the admins just delete these threads and/or ban the thread starters? I mean how many times has this thread been posted, 200, 300?

The thing is that that new people arrives every day.
New people don't know what we know, new people don't/can't consume all the content of this site that fast.
Banning new people won't do xda-dev any good.
Deleting the posts will only give us even more of these post :!:
So the best thing for those that feel irritated by it, just overlook them and move on :wink:

Thread moved from mod. upgrade, unlock to Alpine

WM2005
Apologies to the anybody who is not happy with my post.

Don't worry about them!!!If you don't know,you have the right to ask!!!However,before that you should read some thread about the topic you want to know!!!
Cheers mate

I have been watching posts for two months, and still have not been able to understand "yes", "no" or "maybe soon...."
People talk Blueangel, da da da...
I want clear talk about XDA IIi or Alpine. Don't be jumping on people to review old threads when it is hard enough knowing which model people are actually referring to...
I too am interested in reading if anyone has recently tried a 2005 mod on XDA IIi (Alpine), and what problems they may have encountered.

blueclue7, the WM2005 ROM is not for the Alpine, it is for the Himalaya.
The hardware is totally different between the two devices, it will not work.
There is no WM2005 build for the Alpine yet, maybe never, we don't know yet.
The Alpine has WM2003se, and so far, that is all there is.
WM2003 exists for the Alpine in 2 main versions so far, both have bugs. Most of these bugs would probably be solved by WM2005, but guess what, there isn't a WM2005 build yet.
Oh, by the way, WM2005 for the Himilaya won't work on the Alpine, just as it won't work on the Blue Angel, or the Magician, or any other PPC other than the Himalaya.

hi guys u have just bought an xda2i off ebay. I am regretting it before it has arrived due to the lushness of wm2005 and you guys saying it wont be coming to xda2i. How come its coming to the older xda2 arghhh. I may have to make them program an update at gunpoint.

if you want i can trade you my MDAII? heheh :lol:

WM2005 on XDA IIi
It will be interesting when they release the Universal with WM2005, as it is technically the XDAIIi is similar. So hopefully it will be just a matter of time before someone reverse engineers the Universal Rom for XDAIIi.
Unless of course the 02/I-Mate/Qtek etc do the sensible thing and release an offical upgrade.
I don't see how Microsoft and PDA makers can whine about priacy, when people have spent good money for a new release PDA, only to be told it has the old software and even though it is capable of accepting the WM2005 upgrade....easily, we won't do it cause we don't think our customers are that important, welcome to the money grabbing world of Microsoft and many others.
I hope Microsoft and PDA people read this and learn!!!!

Hello, there is some good news from our friend at blue angel forum, some one from that forum asked his frien if there's any update WM5 for Blue Angel, and his friend (who is HTC rep) said "YES!!!" :shock:
I read that post three times, ( i wondering if my english is really bad or there will be update for HTC Blue Angle ) Here's the link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=147760#147760
and for me that is "good" new ( May be a bit, but better than nothing), there is a hope they also make up date for HTC Alpine because it's younger :? . Yah... just hope....
or some one will give the WM5 Himalaya cooker a new HTC Alpine????
I'm sure he'll make that (WM5) work on HTC Alpine... :lol:

should we start a petition?

why not ?

WM5
hey... good idea... :idea:

Great News Again
Hei XDA IIi lovers, i got some ( I think good news ), i post some email to O2 asia asking if they will release WM5 for IIi and their answer :
"There are no firm plans as yet to offer this particular upgrade to customers of existing Xda devices"
But.... don't stop there ......., after that they wrote :
"but we are studying market demand for this platform, and we will certainly consider offering it in the future if there are sufficient requests for it from our customers" :shock:
Do you all get it???
they just need to know if there's sufficient request...
I guest i've start my petition.... How about we all start to petition right now.... :lol: :lol:

hehe i wont hold my breath but i might aswell put my name down for the petition.

Gimmie WM2005 NOW !!!
---------------------

Okay, lets finish this thread now, Here are the FACTS !!
WM2005 IS NOT RELEASED YET
The Himalaya build is a internal release by microsoft which was leaked to the world and then modified by our good friends buzz Lightyear and co. This build was specially written for microsoft employees on the wm2005 program as the majority of them have himalaya devices.
This new OS will be released officially on the next generation of XDA devices which will probably incorparate 3G technology as well.
So NO The current WM2005 builds that are doing the rounds WILL NEVER be available for other platforms as the hard ware is completely different from platform to platform.
All you can hope for is that
a) It is officially released for your device then modified like Wm2003SE for Himalaya.
b) Some one will swap you there XDA II device.
c) Get a copy of Wisbar Advance and skin it to look like Magento (This actually looks more polished than the actual WM2005 in my opinion.
I personally have a M1000, Orange version of the XDA II which i upgraded to WM2003SE after 3 days of it arriving, then upgraded to WM2005 1.60b which i am now running..... it's the best phone/thing i've ever had.....plus i got it cheap thanks to a price mistake on Orange's website

Upgrading to WM5.0 - Help Required

Hi All!
I am interested in upgrading my O2 XDA IIs (which I assume is a Blue Angel) to Windows Mobile v5.0. However, I am new to the ROM Upgrade scene, and therefore have a few questions!
1) Will my phone still work after I have upgraded? I use O2 on a post-pay GPRS contract.
2) Are there any downsides to having to upgrade?
If someone could either post back here or contact me through any of my listed methods to assist me in upgrading the phone?
Many Thanks!
~ Paul

Try reading Wiki..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
This will give you all the information you need to make the decision.. Remember, it needs to be your decision and not what anyone else recommends.. Personally, I still use the WM2003SE as it's better suited for my business needs and I need the [relative] stability that 2003 gives..
You also need to consider your skill level in playing with your device.. not only about "taking backdoor routes" to updating your BA but to also tweeking it using a Registry Editor..
There's nothing worse then seeing a post stating "HELP - I'VE BORKED MY BA!" as they were not too sure what they were doing..
Remember, reading is the best form of knowledge!
Hope this helps..?
Cheers.

I looked through the wiki earlier (before my post) - no details on whether it would still work. I took the plunge anyway and I am glad I did It worked fine.

Is WM2005 possible for Alpine?

I understand it seems n00bish, but..
I found no reference on the forum about upgrade of any Alpine device from 2003SE to 2005. Does it realy matter there is no hope with trying find such an upgrage? I have an Qtek 2020i (model PH10C, 2003SE, ROM 1.11.00WWE). Can I find a WM2005 ROM existing, which is situable for my device?
Thanx

There's no exsisting WM5 for the HTC Alpine like the XDA 2i or the Qtek 2020i and there's nobody who can AND want to port a WM5 for our little machines!
Oh, by the wy: WM6 is also not possible like the WM5 story!

I see lot of people use Alpine. but who can explain me why Alpine can't have Win 05? about hardware?driver?

I think the hardware is good enough (like HTC Universal) but no one of the cracks about ROM coding like Buzz continued the development of WM5 for the Alpine!
:'-(

Even porting to Linux must disable the wifi also.

Hi,
Is this thread to talk about possible?
If you keep reading at Sticky thread under Alpine upgrading about Windows Mobile 5 on XDA IIi it's possible for Alpine to run WM2005 but no one would like to donation device to buzz.
Read at thread Windows Mobile 5 on XDA IIi page 5 #42, buzz had told that he dont have Alpine device. If he got it at that time, Im sure he'll try the best he can.
At the same thread page 6 #59, Daz999 talk about donate to buzzdev and make buzz goes down. If anyone at buzz situation sure feel down because the way Daz999 talk about it. Daz999 dont know what donation means. From that time, buzz seem like not interest about Alpine anymore.
And now with many kind of device released and about WM6 too, everyone sure busy chasing technologies......
Thanks

I sold off my Xda2i already..

Mda Vario Iii Wm6.1

Good morning,
I am a newbie and I can't find what I am looking for. Sorry if this has been posted else where.
I own a TMOBILE - MDA VARIO III and having several issues. At present it runs Windows Mobile 6 profressional. I note from the microsoft site several of my issues have been resolved; plus it looks nice as well.
My question is;- How do I lay my hands on the update for Windows Mobile 6.1? Tmobile are useless and wont help. I can't obtain the update from Microsoft and HTC won't help as its a TMOBILE serial number.
Help.....

This has been gone over a hundred times, if in fact you had searched you, would have found it.
WM 6.1 comes from Micro$oft, Htc " writes " the roms and include 6.1 in their roms.
T-mobile requests the rom from HTC with T-Mobile specific features added. then T-mobile releases the rom to their customers.T-mobile has NOT released a WM 6.1 rom to their customers yet.
If you still want 6.1, there are many custom roms on this site that can be downloaded to your phone.
Read the wiki. Don't start redundant threads and welcome to XDA,

According to a source, T-Mobile will hopefully be releasing WinMo 6.1 on the Vario 3 in July/August to coinside with the Vario 4 release dates....
