xda IIS Upgrade

[peterPIPER]

i am new to the xda mobiles but recently bought a second hand XDA IIS which by default has Win 2003 Mobile...

I have come across a number of WM5 Mobile packages but am unsure about which is the correct one to use to upgrade my unit....

Also some Microsoft forums say that hardware devices running WM2003 cannot be upgraded to WM5 but this site seems to point towards that it is possible....

Can anyone point me at the correct WM5/Boot version packages etc and also explain how the upgrade does work on this hardware when Microsoft forums say otherwise??? Is it a case of hit and miss when upgrading (i read that a dodgy upgrade could make the hardware inoperable

SO The main question is, is it possible to destroy the Hardware if the upgrade fails...ie you would not be able to recover the device from a failed upgrade

if u still have question, pls post here again.

You can see what ROM I use in my signature and I find it pretty good considering the 50+ apps I have on it. The odd problem but with all the software I have got on it that is to be expected but it is amazing to be running WM5 on a device which officially can only run WM2003SE.

I found that using Tu-Ma v1.3 the device was very slow and buggy but now with Hemli's ROM it runs great.
