Hello.

Is there any sort of Windows Update for Windows mobile that can be run from
a Pocket PC?

Thanks for the info.

Steff

I dont thinks so Steff, any updates for the OS produced by MS usually have
to go to the OEM dustributers for testing on their ROM, which are later
included in the OEMs ROM update if they choose.

Hi Gerry.

I found an update for my Pocket PC's ROM.
It's listing some good fixes I'd like to get.
What am I going to loose when I d/l and install the new ROM's version?

Thanks for your help.

Steff

Hi Steffo

I assume you are downloading the ROM from your phone manufacturers website?
ie its an official and supported ROM?

If so when you install it you will loose everything that is on your phones
memory (but you will not loose whats on your storage card) you will loose
all contacts, operator settings and files you may have stored on the phones
memory.

Be sure to back everything up before you run the update and sync up with you
PC to save all contacts etc.

What file is the contacts database stored in?
Is their a file with you can save with your connection settings?

The O2 ROM for the O2 XDA Mini S is seemingly about 10times slower than
the one for the HTC Wizard (same phone) I want to put the wizard ROM on
my phone (can be done no problem) but i dont want to lose my contacts
database.

Cheers

Chris
