We're all waiting for the orange update, and there is a new update before we even get the last one :cry:
Guest chucky.egg Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Nobody knows for sure (probably not even Orange themselves) but personally I doubt there will be an official WM5 upgrade for any existing smartphones.
Guest IT Troll Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) I think iMate have given a definite no. Fingers crossed for an unofficial one then. ;) Edited May 24, 2005 by IT Troll
Guest celica1.8st Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) er ok, maybe I'm a fool!! ;) Edited May 24, 2005 by celica1.8st

Guest extravagant Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 celica1.8st, I dont think you should be posting information like that regarding the name...... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> operators will not release it. but many special people (developers) have their hands on it, I think its just a matter of time till its on the internet.
Guest Mehka Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 hahaha ;) the easy or the hard way we'll get our hands on it and wont rest before we got it ;)
Guest @ngel Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 hahaha ;) the easy or the hard way we'll get our hands on it and wont rest before we got it :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The ROM exists! The problem is where and how will we get the update... :roll:
Guest celica1.8st Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 The ROM exists! The problem is where and how will we get the update... :roll: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can see the ROM exists and it comes with an update util but has anyone tried it yet? Will it knacker the phone? I've also heard it has lots of problems :roll:
Guest pharma79 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) I see the MPX200`s WM2003 thing is going to be repeat (at least i wish so ! 8) ) Edited May 25, 2005 by pharma79
Guest DarkJedi Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 i had WM2003 on my MPx200. sure it was a little slower, but it definitely was worth it ;) now i can't wait for WM2005 (or 5.0 as they're calling it).

Guest Spinnekop Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 I've got the rom... for MPX200, and It's not working on my MPX220 ;)
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 That's pretty obvious just from the hardware point of view alone.

Guest Newchurch Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 @Spinekop: You´ve got the Mobile 5.0 ROM for your MPX200 ???
Guest sandburn Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 operators will not release it. but many special people (developers) have their hands on it, I think its just a matter of time till its on the internet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> why would the operators be responsible for releasing the upgrade anyway? microsoft has to be much closer to the OEM's than the operators. the OEM's should be responible for hardware upgrades... now, i'm sure that there are "incentives" between the OEM's and operators to not release any upgrades so that people have to buy new hardware, but come on... i'd pay $20 or $40 for a WM5 upgrade... that's definately more than the $2 to $3 original OS image license fee... i don't know... i just think that the whole microsoft/OEM/operator relationship is all twisted and wrong... (at least for us "unpriveledged" developers)
Guest DarkJedi Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 @Spinekop: You´ve got the Mobile 5.0 ROM for your MPX200 ??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i found the same rom, but i don't have a mpx200 anymore. i honestly don't think that the rom is true seeing as the wm2003 rom ran slow as crap on it, so why would there be a rom for the mpx200 (a dead phone if u ask me), and no other ones? plus the rom is a different version number than what's listen on msmobiles.com (but that was for the typhoon, not the mpx200).
Guest E_hekhuizen Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 (edited) I do have this rom file, i don't know if anyone can fix this with somekind of nbf-tool?? i heard the wm5.0 rom was the same for smartphones and pda's?? "This is the original unpatched ROM image converted to NBF file. It would output "device authentication error". Before installing ROM I recommend to backup the existing ROM to SD-card. Later you can restore old ROM from SD. And you would be able to reflash 2005 after restoring. Before flashing you should delete all files from \Storage folder. It would become a root directory of your device. Known problems: * Unable to sync with the desktop computer over USB * cannot sync over BT (ActiveSync "sees" the device, but disconnects immediately) * Lots of compatibility issues with old programs. For example Qkeys is not working, after installing all SIPs disappear. * Seems that BT is extremely unstable. Unable to create a working COM-port connection. * Backup program is taken from the old ROM and is not working. Maybe creating an empty "\Storage" folder will help. * Unable to make a hard reset. After installing Qkeys you have to reflash old rom and then 2005 again to get a working OS. * Camera application is extremely slow. * You are unable to bind programs to "camera" and "record" hardware buttons. * Storage (root directory) size is only 14Mb, so you have to install all programs to SD-card. * "Extended_Rom" folder disappears and this space is wasted. But it "returns" when you flash old ROM. We don.t recommend to use this ROM. But it is a good experience to install it and to see the benefits of 2005 OS. setup.exe = ActiveSync 4 nk.nbf = Rom FILE HimaUpgradeUt.exe = Updater the only problem is that i don't get it to work on my c500... ;) [edit..] already know why it doesnt work, diffrent cpu...

Guest DarkJedi Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 yeah u can't install a pocketpc phone edition rom on a smartphone, just doesn't work. i'm afraid to install the mpx200 rom as i don't want to mess up my phone.
Guest afhstingray Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 yep.... its probably just a matter of time before someone leaks the WM5 rom. hopefully as soon as possible ;) i hope the problems with the predictive text are gone
