Hi Everybody !
you all know how strange it might be some requests form your boss but this is the most strange one !
My Boss has a system that work on WM 6.5 only and doesn't work on WM 7 and he requested that I should Provide him with 40 New WM 6.5 devices !
you know that they are not available currently So I figured out that I should buy new WM 7 Devices and Flash it Back to WM 6.5 !
I think theoretically this is possible but have anyone tried it ?!!!
I want to Try it on HTC 7 pro Device , Could anyone tell me wha the steps I need to do that ?
any other suggested Devices ? I only want it to be New ,with QWERTY keypad and I can install WM 6.5 on it !
Thank you all in Advance.
Your only choice may be a new 6.5 device, and not much else. The HTC HD2 is still available, here in the UK, it is now the only 6.5 device stocked by Expansys on their web site.
How much longer will they be around? What's HTC's roadmap for the WinMo HD2?
Flashing 6.5 over a Phone 7 device, is asking for an expensive error.

I know that HD2 is the Only WM 6.5 device that still Availble but the problem is that HD2 Doesn't have a QWERTY keypad and the system required a lot of Typing.
Thank you for your support.

Hi all,
have anyone already tried to put one of these ROMs on a VoiceMessenger?
Thanks for support,
joseffe
So nice, you had to post it twice?
Not really, but my browser crashed ;o)
I am looking for WM6.1 Prof or WM6.5 for my device as it is "only" WM6.1 Std. installed and some software will not work with this edition. Any ideas?
Cheers,
joseffe
Well, the major problem I see with this is that your device has no touch screen. No touch screen, no Windows Mobile Professional.
You're wrong Windows Mobile Professional run on SPV C600 and this phone don't have touch screen but users must use fake pointer.
Regreds.
P.S. Sorry for my english.
yeah, i kinda like to know if it's possible to put newer OS, even if it's 6.1 standard

Just go over to the XDA Atom ROM Development section, you can find 4 WM6.5 version there, and by :
1) Helloworld1
2) Glossyx1
3) Tabbe
4) Searchers
All 4 are pretty stable but depends on what your requirement is, so you need to check out their threads. Basically, everything in WM6.5 works except for bluetooth as we are not able to send files out. But there is a way out by using Persian Blue or Total Commander. Another issue with bluetooth is you can only add 2 bluetooth device, after that the add device functions gets corrupted. Added devices will still function as normal, just no more additional bluetooth device after that.
The latest one now is from Glossyx1 which is base on a new built as compare to the other 3. They are all good as long as you don't over stress your Atom, as you are aware our Atoms have limited ram resources as compare to newer devices which is what WM6.5 is meant for. I think all WM6.5 have Touchflo incorporated already.
Happy flashing....

alright thanx alot
Is it possibile to downgrate Phone with mp7 (like HTC trophy) to WM 6.X ??
I also like that, windows 7 sucks
You guys kinda bought the wrong phone then huh?
You guys are kidding right?
what ever you think, i'm just asking.. i'm just wonder is it possible to do somthing like that.
Most likly not, this would be due to drivers not written for the hardware in windows 6.5. How people have got around this in the past is to find hardware from other phones that have run the OS you are after and porting the drivers into a package you can use on your phone, there isn't really any other phone of this type that has run windows 6.5 hence my answer.
Why do you find 6.5 better than 7, is it more software, more hacks, better interface?
Personally I find I can't do much on Windows 7 at the moment but also understand the market needs to be built, the amount of settings is very limited but that is more of a mindset.
for me wp7 is ok, not so much softwere - no problem. The most important thing for me is my broker soft, it's writen for .Net compact and i can't run it on wp7 :/
I agree,
It is really that all the apps that I had on the WM6.5 and used to no longer work with WP7. I understand that this is a new OS, but still I will agree with the people at the top. I was a little hasty in purchasing it, and in hindsight, I should not have.
Another way, if drivers are an issue, is has anyone ever tried to flash a Trophy with an Android rom, or is this completely insane?
Wp7 device HTC 7 Mozart
Q1. Is there PIMBACKUP for WP7 so i can restore my wm6.1 contacts to WP7 device? so desprate dnt have all contacts either on fb nor on any other web account email etc. don't know what to do.

Return the phone if you hate it that much, a downgrade to WM 6.5 is not possible.
get a HD2
Hello, is it possible to put Windows Mobile 5 or 6 or 6.5 in this device? If yes,
how?
The answer is yes...
and no...
Yes you could upgrade your OS - but maybe it hasn't been done yet for your device...
So no there may not be an easy fix.
You may want to look at my thread to see what I've been going through trying to upgrade an old iPAQ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981868
Curious though - if I look up your device on www.pdadb.net there is a secondary search result in their repository. A WM 6.1 ROM for HTC Kaiser. I don't have any idea if you could flash a Kaiser ROM to your device which is codenamed: HTC Beetles.
There may be a reason that they cross reference Beetles and Kaiser. (It works both ways - search one and you get a secondary result for the other.) So that might be one avenue for you to explore.

No, it's not possible - hw6500 Series iPAQs never got WM5 ROM. And if there is no WM5 ROM for your device - you can't get anything higher than WM2003SE.

You can't flash other devices ROMs. hTC Kaiser and hTC Beetles are two completely different phones.
ROMs are device-specific, so never try to flash any other ROM that was not made for your device, even if the specs seems to be the same.
Thanks Spiaatie,
It is good to have someone with proven experience weigh in and help those of us who are just now tinkering with these old devices...
