XDA (Not 2) and Windows Pocket Pc 2003

Hi,

Can I flash my Pocket Pc XDA which has 2002 installed on it with the windows_mobile_2003_xda_rom file?

I am a total noob however your professional advice would be more than appreciated.

Thank you

YES you can with an "un-official" version...

All you need is a 64 MB SD card - preferred method.

But rather than describe it in detail here, take a look at this forum here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/front_page.php

and this thread here:

Be sure to read everything through, check, re-check and you should have no problems.

BTW - T-Mo and ATT are just about to release the "official" versions - should be out by the end of Feb - maybe sooner.

I am currently running the latest XDA-I "un-official" version w/o problems...

Hi,

I visited www.yorch.net and 'cooked' my own ROM made it into an exe and have it downloaded right here it's a 4.05.00 rom flash but I have to ask what software can I use to flash the unit with because I do not have an SD card so I am stuck using my Pc to do the flash, I have the official backup files for my ppc from 02's site so I am ok I guess if all else fails i will flash back to what I am currently using.

I wanted to flash the rom onto my ppc however what software can I use? I tried Microsofts Sync software I have 3.7 but it doesnt allow me to flash as it gives me an error message.

Your upgraded image info;

Please download the compatible utility and try again"

Any help would seriously be appreciated, i mean if we dont help one another what will be the future of this all?

THE best & safest way to update ROMs on the XDA is by using a SD card.

I highly suggest you get one - a 64 Mb can be had for a lot less than you think...

Could somone tell me how to backup my ppc 2002 rom if eanything goes wrong?

The problem isnt where the files are stored the problem is I cant flash backwards as I showed in my above post...

So wether its on a SD card or on my PC doesnt really make a different becuase I have 3.20 and that is 3.16 even though I changed the string.. Thus I cant flash my ppc with wm2003 cooked ROM.

Thats what I need help with if I want it to work for me.

A7,

Depending on your bootloader, you should be able to move up and down on your ROM upgrade.

Hopefully, you have bootloader v5.15 or before.

Anyway, start here -

start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=2189
and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4043

Be sure to read both all the way through, you should have what you need there.

and here is some really good reading for you:
