[N560] WM6 on FS560 not "official"

Postby Jolu_DTS » Tue Jul 31, 2007 15:00

Well,

It's going to be interesting to see how FS will explain to customers their decision about not upgrading 560 to WM6.

It seems to be that someone from http://www.4pda.ru just got it to work and conclusions are:

- Much better OS perfomance and speed
- More eficient battery usage
- GPS much faster

Unfortunately, my russian is none, but I keep trying.

If in any way this post goes against forum rules, feel free to delete it.

Regards.

FSC decided to drop the Pocket PC business, that's why there will be no WM6 update for N560.

Two days ago I have succesfully upgrade my FS N560 to WM 6. I can say that my device becomes mutch faster. Ofcourse there are some bugs, but for me there was not any problems to solve it (registry editor needed).

PS

I still hope that official release of WM6 for FS N560 will be shared. I heard that it could be possible in september-november 2007 :roll:

Das ist wieder mal typisch Siemens :evil: . Wo nicht 100% Rendite anfällt, wird die Kundschaft im Stich gelassen.

Viele andere Hersteller, HP etc. bieten ein Ugrade für WM6 an.

the link to the Russian forum:
4pda loox wm6 forum

a word of warning:
* this will erase your machine completely.
* backup software would not restore, for it is a different OS.
* this is still experimental, you are welcome to try.

just decompress the zipped files (Pups 0.0.1 by 777-Team) make sure that your pda is AS and power plugged in and run the PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool.exe.

there are also the original FSC software pack and original rom, you can flash back the original, i have tried and succeeded.

enjoy. :twisted:

What exactly have you loaded? And in what sequence?

Quick GPS from FSC ?.. there are two sections, first the flash of the ROM, and secondly the Quick GPS Program. Both loaded?

Which WM6.o version?

Having this info I can probably help you further
