An interesting article on MSMobiles.com:
QUOTE ROM images with Windows Mobile version 5 (codename MAGNETO) are starting to leak out We have information that ROM image with Windows Mobile version 5 (codename "Magneto" also known as "Windows Mobile 2005" although it is not confirmed yet) for HTC Magician has leaked - it works with T-Mobile MDA Compact. And now ROM image with Windows Mobile 5 for HTC Himalaya (aka Xda II, etc) also leaked out:  Edit by Paul [MVP]: As always, we don't recommend installing unapproved ROMs on your device (especially beta ones!), and anyone providing download links or posting this leaked ROM on MoDaCo will face 'disciplinary action'. Due to my NDA status with Microsoft, I will not be posting in this thread, or participating in any discussions on this topic. -------------------- "don't be deceived by the looks, try to look under the hood."

QUOTE ROM images with Windows Mobile version 5 (codename MAGNETO) are starting to leak out March 21, 2005 [Pocket PC phone]We have information that ROM image with Windows Mobile version 5 (codename "Magneto" also known as "Windows Mobile 2005" although it is not confirmed yet) for HTC Magician has leaked - it works with T-Mobile MDA Compact. And now ROM image with Windows Mobile 5 for HTC Himalaya (aka XDA II, etc) also leaked out: To learn more or to download these ROM images (setup program, ROM image + ActiveSync 4.0 BETA) click here (you must scroll along the thread to find a working server). Warning: if you are not an expert in ROM upgrading of HTC devices - don't run this upgrade - it may render your device broken and your device may be never again upgrade-able! Please observe that currently Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition is powered by Windows Mobile version 4.21 what reflects version of core operating system: Windows CE 4.21 so since Windows Mobile codename Magneto (the name "Windows Mobile 2005" is still uncertain) has core operating system Windows CE 5, it is natural that it will have Windows Mobile version 5 in "about dialog". Conclusions: last year our sources at Microsoft told us that next version of Windows Mobile will come out in August 2005 and it looks like this date is very close to reality... although we have now some hints that first devices with Windows Mobile version 5 may appear in Autumn/Fall 2005, not in Summer 2005! In any case: first ROM images with Windows Mobile version 5 have just leaked out and we can expect that Microsoft will release SDK (software development kit) for Windows Mobile version 5 very soon - probably MEDC conference or at Tech*Ed this year. This classes as a cross-post (seeing as i already posted it in the Magician forum this morning) but there you go, sometimes cross posting works!!!

A quick question:
If i was to install this ROM onto my jam, could it possibly do any damage to the device other than the usual damage that can be done (if you mess up) when installing an approved ROM? If theres no risk of damage, would i be able to revert back to an older ROM? -------------------- HTC Touch

But since there's no way to revert a MS 2003 SE phone back (no ROM's) you might wanna be careful before upgrading.
Edit: The ROM that's out there is for PPC as far as I can see. ActiveSync 4.0 is also floating around, gonna play with that one now :twisted: This post has been edited by roma0803: Mar 23 2005, 08:28 -------------------- When I die, I want to die like my grandfather, who died peacefully in his sleep.

Like I said in the other thread....
The aforementioned ROM is for HTC Himalaya ONLY, and will not work on (or kill) any other device. So back away from the ROM slowly! As it goes it's wobbly so you would only want to flash it for a poke around. Paul I take it if someone posted shots of it you would hunt them down with a big stick? [edit]Just realised there is a shot in the first post, can i post some screengrabs Paul?[/edit]

QUOTE(GhostC) as local M$ staff said, WM2005 beta works on MPX200. so probably - yes I guess you meant MPx220 not MPx200. Hope it won't be the same case as with MPx200 and WM2003. @roma0803 There will be ROMs for MPx220 available very soon.
