Default Windows Mobile 2005...Magician

I found a Windows Mobile 2005 zip file and when I connect it and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe it will say it is going to update...next it checks the device like normal then it does this:



then I got scared and pulled the cable out

anyone that went beyond this point?

ps, I know there is supposed to be no WM2005 for Magician, but I just wanted to try...and the screen looks promising, but also a bit dangerous

As far as I know there isn't a WM5 ROM for the Magician. Don't try to upgrade with a Himalaya ROM (which I guess is what you're doing).

Of course, if you HAVE got a WM5 ROM for a Magician then sharing it would be a neighbourly thing to do...

no 2 devices have ever been able to share a rom
so even if it would install it would not run
roms only have the drivers of the hardware
they are made for other devices like magician require
other drivers
hhhmm ok i may be a jerk but i'm a jedi jerk like my father was before me
BTW "I can't use a skeleton arm with that"

To all those out there who wish to have WM2005 for your Magicians. I heard of your ill-fated adventures and wish to tell you all how sorry I am. If the skies could fall open and these things could fall from the skies, then you would have no need to be scared, and yes, you would be stronger than your desire. I understand all too well how you love your devices as little and compact as they maybe, ( I live with a man who constantly worships his device and I truly understand his woes.) You are not alone. May the force be with you all. I won't post again, as I am a busy concubine who has polish my Emperor's powerful, strong device.
