HTC Universal Rom on XDAIIi

[seanrkelly]

Has anyone tried putting/modding the Universal ROM on the XDAIIi. I just wondered if the hardware on the Universal was more like that on the Alpine and we might be able to use it? Just a thought...

impossible to do that

Rom images are made up with specific drivers and cannot be transfered to other models, the inner workings of different models are completely different even if there specs look the same (WiFi etc ...) they are totally incompatible

You can't upgrade directly, but there are people who modifiy ROMS to install on other devices, look at BUZZ and the Blue Angel WM2005 update!

Buzz is willing to design an upgrade for Alpine, but does not own one, so until he does or people donate to help him buy one, it is unlikely that we will see a cooked WM2005 upgrade for Alpine yet!.

I have used the Universal WM5 upgrade on my i-mate PDA2,First I Partitioned the Rom to have the full Rom Size 128MB then I copied the nk.nbf from The Universal to the Original i-mate upgrade and used the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to do the upgrade.

Using all the universal rom did not work and got Model Error.

The Upgrade went all the way very smooth but couldn't hard reset the PDA2.
All I upgraded was the CE image only,Radio And Extended Rom are the old ones.

I used all buttons compinations and stil could not reset the PDA2.

So I went Back to WM2003SE.

This proves that it can be done.!!!!

Maybe it is the extended rom part that stopped it, There is no way so far to unlock the Alpine extended rom.

I hope Buzz can do something about it,I am willing to do all the trials on my PDA2.
