**NOOB**

Hey guys and gals.

I've just got an i-mate pocket pc and I want to upgrade it to wm6.

I started out looking in the official places (club i-mate etc.) and flashed it with the latest firmware available there, but unfortunately it's still wm2003.

From what I've read here and on buzzdev.net I'm guessing it's considered a himalaya, but I really have no clue what that means.

Info on the device is:

Version:
ROM version: 1.72.00WWE
ROM date: 03/15/04
Radio version: 1.14.00
Protocol version: 1337.24
ExtROM version: 1.72.800

Hardware:
CPU: Intel(R) PXA263
Speed: 400 MHz
RAM size: 128 MB
Flash size: 32 MB
Flash chip type: 28F128K3
Data bus: 32 bits
Storage size: 14.75 MB
LCD: 240 x 320 TFT
Colors: 65536

Identity:
Model No.: PH10B
Platform: PocketPC
IMEI: 3159***********

Or at least that's what the OS reports.
When I opened it up to clean it I noticed it had HTC chips in it so I don't know...

Any info as to where to start and what I need to know before I do would be appreciated.

P.S. I've attached a photo of it if it'll help with identification.

Just a quick Q:

**EDIT
Nevermind that... I'm downloading the ROM packet now...
Thanks again

Yeah... I did manage to upgrade... It's fairly simple if you just follow the instructions in the rom packet step by step

It's a LOT quicker than wm2003. Unfortunately I've never used wm5 on this device so i can't compare

From what i understand, the extrom is used to automatically install the applications inside it when the device is reset or loses it's memory.

The extrom version on your device is blank because that section of the rom was added to the main rom storage area to make space for wm5/6.

I don't know about removing the ramdisk but it was mentioned somewhere in the thread Rudegar pointed me to (see above)
