Hi guyz!
Here's something that intrigued me for quite some time..

Does anyone know how to install/reinstall PALM OS or Windows Mobile on a Palm or Pocket PC device?
Is it possible to reformat the device and reinstall the OS like what you do in a PC?

Your ideas and opinions would be very helpful... THanks!!!

You can reflash it. When you updat the firmware it should do this. You do not need to go through the process of reformatting, although you can also do a master reset or a hardware reset which will bring back everything to its original state when purchased.

Thank you for the helpful info sir... but can you upgrade it to a higher version OS or perhaps a different language OS?

you can say upgrade from wm5 to wm6 but your device must meet certain requirements. and the ROM that is needed to flash is device specific.. meaning not all devices can be upgraded.

you can reflash the OS, like a super HARD reset, check your manual on how to do that, and you can update the Firmware yourself through the cable and your computer. ive seen it done a few times.

so does that mean that when you update the firmware, ma-apil ilis ang OS Sir? senxa, wla pa man gud ko kasuway ani

basically you are flashing the same OS or a higher version, say wm5 to wm6 (or if you wanna downgrade, wm6 to wm5).
Only thing is you can flash a "cooked firmware"

Cooking is the term where one can customize the current firmware by selecting what components to install.
Just like windows XP/VISTA, you can select to add/remove components.

The OEM of winmobile devices like HTC, O2, Qtek, Dopod, etc. can release their latest firmware. Some just modify this released firmware to their prefered firmware. They call it cooking because you choose what ingredients you want.

Thus you can find a variety of cooked roms in the net for a specific device as some users share their own cooked roms.
