I've got one aswell.. It runs perfectly without Windows Mobile.. Hope it does with tho
I have an SE K750i (Black)
SE K750i hardware specs is near to HTC Typhoon.
Also the OS of K750i is: OSE:

Win Mobile ROM upgrade for SE K750i can be the new software revolution.
Omg....
well even if what you are proposing was possible due to driver availibility and compatible hardware, the phone wouldn't be much of a use, video driver will be sure incompatible with any WM build and there would be lack of hardware for input and stuff
If any1 could make that working, i'll eat my shoes
Yes, you're right, but...
The SE K750i input hardware is very similar to HTC Feeler.(Only lack of 1 key).
HTC Feeler is just same like HTC Typhoon.

Is there someway to develop Win Mobile drivers base on those drivers?
Well the recompilation 'd be suicidal, but i don't see, how you could be able to decompile the entire GDFSs' and EEPROM for the k750 and extract the necessary drivers for thinks like entire SE based radio stack (GSM and stuff) separatley, so the new WM based stack could be engeneered and implemented as radio stack in rom. The video driver and it's kernell shouldn't be that much of a problem, so if this idea is possible, you could only build a wm2k3 based phoneless rom, without BT and GSM support. And that's just for starters, you'd have to decompile the EEPROM and EROM's to get all the stuff necessary, just to get the entire core of the system working, so the hardware such as CPU could recieve instructions... it's difficult as hell
From my point of view, it would be easier, to compile this stuff for linux, the instructions are more similar to linux, than to WM based core
IDK...
I prefer Win Mobile instead of Linux.
If there is no way, I prefer Linux instead of OSE.
Oh and new finding - i just tried to flash blank rom using Cruiser, and there is no way in hell, you could make something as bootloader for the K750i, so only way, how to get WM to the device is either buying a SE TOOL Box, which costs around 100 Euros, or get some sort of davinciteam.org or wotan.com like server->client based flashers. For instance XS++ is able to read and WRITE the k750i's EEPROM and EROM, but unfortunatley it couldn't write our desired 16/32bit filesystem...
maybe if someone 'd be able to make a virtual bootloader as the phone OS with full internal ROM/RAM read/write capabality - that way we could use normal flashing procedures, perhaps modifing Typhoons or some other similar machines SPL, but still, i don't see how you could push them into the device to behave as we want it to.
Yes, i know you can extract them, but u know, what hexadecimal gibrrish is the GSM driver? i don't think so - SE TOOL box is the option - it has sort of predefined links in it's hardware, it basicly simulates the devices RAM/ROM on the run, cuz the devices (SE has no such thing as bootloader or something, the system either runs or it doesn't) can't just "write the stuff on the fly"
OK...
Just tell me the name of all softwares you need.
OK i need someone to make a virtual bootloader / hardware bootloader (SE TOOL Box based) for SE devices, correct me someone, if i'm wrong, but i don't see any other way, how to get entire WM core to SE K750i. The ROM itself wouldn't be a problem, but since there's no SPL, we can't use absolutley different filesystem, than OSE uses

We need high-end SE tech guy.
Did you visit the official OSE website?
As a matter of fact, i have a friend working in GS Mobile as SE service guy (it's major HTC and SE devices service center in our country) i'll be seeing him on sunday for a couple of beers, so i'll tell him about our idea, he'll let me borrow their tool box 4 sure and he might even have few other suggestions but since he's a hardware mechanic, i'm sceptic about his knowledge of the software issues - as i said before, the OSE either runs, or it doesen't and what that means for him? Dead phone? -> se tool box -> GDFS, ROM, Filesystem flash -> phone alive, but maybe he knows stuff i don't - we don't talk about software a lot, i personally hate OSE and he hates WM so ... (It has gone so far, that when i bought my Touch, he took a deep red (bordeaux for *****es) w910i from his job and showed off all day ). Maybe some of his coleagues from the HTC division could help us out with the bootloader issue
Great...
Thanks a hell...
Also, the CPU clock of HTC Feeler is 200 MHz, SE K750i is 110 MHz
The SE K750i display is little small, no problem?
What about FM radio & infrared & J2ME?
The display size is 220*176 pixels, that is (at least i think) sufficient for rescaling the ui, motorola mpxsomethin220something has kinda same resolution (at least i think (again))
You can forget FM radio and IrDA, J2ME shouldn't be a problem
Thanks...
I really don't use both FM radio and IrDA.
Yes, K750i display: size: 28 x 35 mm resolution: 176 x 220 pixels, color quality: 18 bit, color support: 262K.
Since the K750i and W800i are essentially two phones with exactly same hardware specifications, soft modifications are available to convert a K750i to a W800i (software-wise). It will then feature the Walkman feature which is supposed to be available to W series phone only.

Hi!
I just want to know if there is some success for getting Linux on the XDA? I've read that at the CCC Summercamp some people wanted to get starzted with it...
Damn i missed the camp... i live in Berlin, so it wouldnt have been a long travel :-(
greetings.... Jabba
Linux on XDA
Hi,
Just a quick update without any concrete stuff for people to play with yet. Basically good progress was made and a first very bare version of linux on the XDA can be expected soon (say within a month). Note that very bare means you can't do anything with it. However it will be a jump start installation to kickoff porting periperal support to it for anyone who wants to have a go at it.
does it mean that the guys from OPIE will be able to port their system in the near future with these guys from FAMILAR LINUX ?
I've read that they want to program a telephone api as well...
It would be great because Windows CE is not a OS stable enough for a Phone.
I can't imagine I have a phone have to reset every single day.

I reset my phone most mornings. Switch my XDA on to find that cooked in the XDA-Developers Kitchen Screen! I begin to believe that it actually switches off, not stand by.
This in-stability is the main reason I am moving on to a more stable Symbion device for my main phone. Pop a pay as you go chip in my XDA, it is one kick as toy!!

In fact, there's an app/lib called gammu on Linux, which is a pretty generic phone manipulating/controlling software. It supports various type of phones including different models of nokia mobiles as well as generic gsm modems, etc.
I've written a phone app for the iPAQ (with the GSM/GPRS sleeve) on linux using this library. The current opie ipaq-phone actually uses gammu as well. So maybe at some point we may go from there.
http://www.mwiacek.com/english/gsm/gammu/gammu.html
I've also thought about starting to do a GPE phone too... :twisted:
so it seems that everything which is missing, is a port of familar Linux to XDA...
i really would like to help, but i'm no C(++) developer... and i guess Linux is NOT written in Java :shock: :wink:
We seem all to be waiting for a version to leak of the CE 5.0 for our devices, and at the same time we seem to think that this will not happen due to the fact our providers are going to want to ship it on new devices and not upgrade the old ones.
Well Mwang put me in the mood to do some searching and this is what I found.
Because Windows CE is in components, you can create a custom version of the OS that includes exactly the elements your particular device requires—no more and no less. Using the Windows CE development tool called Platform Builder, you can create a customized version of the OS, called an "image," that you then download onto your device hardware for debugging. If your hardware is not available yet, you can run your image and debug your applications on the included x86 emulator. That allows the end-user application developer and the low-level system software developer to work in parallel on the same project.

Well it seems that you can download a 120 days trial version which would mean you would have to flash your device in 120 days.
Windows CE Evaluation Version
Windows CE integrates reliable real-time capabilities with advanced Windows technologies to rapidly build a wide range of innovative, small-footprint devices. The evaluation version is a 120-day trial version of Windows CE, valid from the day of installation. The CD and DVD versions include a copy of Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 Service Pack 4. The Evaluation Edition (download) requires you to download eMbedded Visual C++ separately.

Does this work for you gues ?
I tried this a while back.
Its not as easy as it sounds, firstly you have to correctly setup all the drivers for the hardware.
I wouldnt garantee that it has stuff like the phone apps ready to be compiled in either.
lastly, you have to make it into the correct format for the installer prog, I dont know if the package will output a himaupload.exe compatible rom.
Let me know how you guys do though, it would be nice to compile our own OS!
It's installing on my computer :shock: i want it on my PPC
Well I found a 30 min tutorial on the platform builder and it looks like a lot of the stuff is around (Wifi), What we will miss is the camrea app, but hell its a start.
Ps cant find that link anymore, and the posted link works great.

Im sure it's a 120 days from the day you install it on your Desktop PC :?
definatly not as easy as you think!
i had the older version and i made some images for X86 machines (to make them thin clients)
you need every driver for the device that it will be installed on so theres alot more required than just the platform builder,
check it out anyway, its still fun to use and you can make custom CE's for old PII machines (routers, thin clients etc)
Well Bosjo, would that not give you 119 days to post a BA Rom?
@MDAIIIUser
Well i dont know, but Im guessing that the ROM itself will expire 120 after Desktop installation
@bosjo
Well you better hurry up and do good documentation so that I can rebuild your posted rom in 118 days.
@MDAIIIUser
Ha ha ha, well don't get your hopes up, Im just a plumber that bought a BA to save some time and get projects more organized........... Well that what just to be a laughf, this device has eaten every spare second I have had since the day i bought it, and it's still crappy...............
What? You mean you can use it as a phone, thought it was only good for the pocket solitair, how did you do it? and can I read it on wiki?
You see I am True born again MDAIIIUser and
"I haveth faith in thou"
I've pu the windows CE 5.0 installer in the upload folder
Good job you got this , see your pm
Hmmm... well, if someone can create a ROM that won't expire or brick my device, I'm willing to help with testing...
Let me know if you need me...
hehe. Its impossible to create WM2005 from the stuff offered with the trial WinCE 5.0 Platform builder.
Hint: WM5 has version 5.1. PB offers 5.0
im wondering.. where would you get ALL the drivers from? im sure HTC will not be willing to help us here..
@Manich
I truly respect your post and I am very much aware of not having your knowlege, insight, understanding, hacking competence.
That is why I am amember of this forum, to learn from people like yourself in order to try and get the best for my device. To share what I have learnt with others (I use wiki for that).
So please, please share with us a better idea of how we can get 2005 on a BA. It would save me a lot of time searching on the net, uploading sdk that are of no use as well as moving files on the ftp.
A "it cant be done answer" I could accept if it came from somebody else without your knowlege and I remember reading that somebody wrote something along the lines if it can run it can be cracked (smile).
With alll due respect
MDAIIIUser
Generally it cannot be done as you don't have a board support package for BA or other compatible platform. With lots of hacking and reverse engeneering you can write all drivers and all applications absent from Platform Builder (like cprog, SMS client, SIM toolkit, etc), but it would be only a waste of time. It would take as much time and would be as useless as making a Linux for BA. Better buy a device that originally ships with OS you want.
The only hope for getting WM5 on BA is that some person from MS would offer it or someone would get a device with such a ROM. Even a locked device with a signed ROM would help.
hey is it possible to port iphone os on BA as they have similar specs if its possible i would like to join the team trying to port it
the specs are not that similar, starting of with the display resolution of 320*480, so it would have to be scaled. the iphone cpu is clocked at 620 Mhz, which might be essential to the speed of the os. plus you couldn't get the camera to work, the bluetooth or the wlan. i also doubt the phone would work. and even if all that was avoided. and the system ran, what would be so great about it? without the multi touch support, the accelerometer and stuff like that you wouldn't be able to control the phone properly.
my point is: the hardware is completely different. it wouldn't work out properly. and even if you took a device to port it to, that could actually handle Apple Mac OS X v1.0 (ARM) and have motion sensor, what would be the point, the system is not exactly better than WM, and if you just like the interface, i would recommend a skinpack, s2u2 and other stuff to make it look like an iphone.
i can see that porting it could still be interesting and i would apreciate seeing a project like that, don't get me wrong
Yeah well i do get what you mean btw i was thinking of using some of wm files to make wifi,camera,bluetooth etc to work and i would have the scale the screen size to the ba one and i would find a way to add virtual ram from sd card so the mhz wont be a problem but i need other people to help me such as xplode and the guy who ported wm6 to BA
i want to do this as i have ported android on ba and i really want iphone os to work with an ancient phone like Ba
first i did not ported wm6 to BA, i ported WM 6.1, helmi_c ported WM6
iphone OS i usless as it is, it is linux based so it is possible to run basic on any WM device like they did with android and linux distros
i can not do much because i have not much linux knowledge
ok i will find people with lots of linux knowledge and would u be able to get drivers soft and stuff to add on so it can read the wifi etc
this may helps u

Hi,
I have an old WM2003SE Navigator (Typhoon MyGuide 6500XL) lying around, it's not in the Device DB but the MyGuide 3500XL is. It looks identical, has the same specs and the same Intel PXA255 processor as mine.
There is almost no software for 2003 left and after getting used to my HTC Touch2 (Mega) the touch experience is awful.
I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade this nearly-no-brand ancient PDA/GPS to a newer Windows Mobile ROM. All I have is the device, so I guess I can dump the old ROM from that.
I know most of you are thinking 'throw it a way and buy something decent' but at the time (my dad) bought it it had the price of an iPhone now :/ It seems so stupid to throw it away...
I'm a real noob at ROM Cooking and I don't even know if this is possible at all, but if it is, could someone please help me?
Thank you in advance,
MrJSO
I doubt you'll be able to do it, but search around and see if there are any rom upgrades out there from the oem; that would be the best place to start. And search and see if there are any custom roms or kitchens (I doubt it).
I have an asus mypal a716. I've looked around for custom roms for it, and basically all you find are the random post from someone looking for a custom rom for it, lol. Asus pretty much stopped supporting it the second they released it, so there aren't any official roms out there. I've tried dumping the rom with 0 success, and I've read posts from others who also had 0 success. I tried grab it, and all it dumps is the bootloader. I don't have a clue how to convert one of those dumps into a flashable rom, anyway. The thread is basically full of other posters asking how to create a rom from the dump, with no answers. I think some people know how to do it, but they never respond in that thread, lol. Anyway, grab_it would be the second thing to try, I guess.
The closest thing that exists to a custom rom for the mypal is a linux port (at least as far as I can tell). It's over at handhelds.org. There may be a similar option for you. It requires you to flash a patched bootloader, so you can dual boot winmo or linux of the sd card. I've never done it before.
WM2003 devices are so different from WM5 and later (because of the storage model), that I think the odds of you not bricking your pda with any custom WM5 or later rom are pretty low. A more realistic goal may be to cook 2003SE roms. Anyway, I find that plenty of useful apps work on the mypal. Hell, it's far better for games than my fuze. I use it mostly to stream music over wi-fi (it's hooked up to a small set of speakers).
Edit: LMAO! This thread is the 4th hit on google for "asus mypal a716" "custom rom".
Thank you very much
I just discovered that Typhoon just put the logo on to sell though discounter markets... It's actually the same device as the Mio 168. It seems that there is a lot more feedback from people about that device available...
Still, if you say putting newer WM on it isn't going to work anyways, I guess I should stop my search then?
The problem is that all newer apps don't support wm2003 anymore Also wm2003 is just forcing you to use that stylus - I wish I didn't have to
Also, Am I right that there is really no way to make newer WM run on it by taking drivers from the old ROM and adding them to a default WM5 or higher ROM?
I guess you must forget to have any WM 6.5 in your phone because the specs tell you:
RAM 64 Mb (54 mb accessible)
ROM 32 Mb
Maybe a WM 6.1 or 5.0 but as FT said i doubt that you will find all the tools.
I have a HTC Bali (Fujitsu Pocket Loox 720) and was never able to find ,at least, a method to put a WM 5.0 in it lol.
The problem is that 2003 devices have small rom storage; they use ram for storage, and I'm not sure how you would upgrade them to WM5 or later which have persistant storage (you'd need a native kernel and drivers and all that crap). I'm sure some devices got official upgrades from 2003 to WM5, but I think it would be tough to figure out on your own. You might be able to cook a custom 2003SE rom, though, which would be kind of cool.
Is it possible to boot another OS like..idk, ubuntu or windows without having to boot up android? Something like direct boot? Just like our PC's do. Is it possible?
Since this question seems to burn on your poor soul ...
NO ... at least NOT for as long as you don't...
- ...write a fitting boot loader for the intended OS to kick-start its kernel and boot-strap the OS.
- ...find a way to re-partition the internal phone storage (aka "NAND") to meet the demands of the OS.
- ...wrote drivers to support the hardware (USB, Camera, Sound, WiFi, et al)
It may be possible to somehow directly boot a made-for-the-X8 Linux, but then the idea is rather pointless anyway as you would also need to code up the required applications to actually use the device as a phone (in case you missed it, you're holding a phone in your hands, not a tablet computer).
Throw away your hopes to see Windows 8 running on the X8 ... the device is not suited to run that OS at all (EDIT: or are you going to port the required Secure Boot enabled UEFI Firmware to the X8?).
Your best shot would be (after some intense development work) to get Linux or Windows CE up and running.

Many years ago (2002? 2003?) I had a COMPAQ iPAQ 3660 (which I even mod-updated from PocketPC 2000 to PocketPC 2002) - and a friend of mine had a 5xxx series iPAQ which where the first ones to come with a GSM slot.
Take my word that Windows CE would be pointless. Compared to Android Windows CE is not only hopelessly outdated but also the same crap as WP7.
If _I_ would want to have Windows CE/Windows Phone 7 device and be tortured to the ninth circle of hell by that steaming-pile-of-sh** Metro UI I would have gotten a brain removal surgery and bought one.
Having a true Linux up and running would be nice, but also pointless for as long as the apps to make calls and send/receive SMS/MMS are missing.
