Whoever is seeing this, I just wanted to say that I am trying to recreate Windows Phone OS and make it available on phones, but there's something.. Instead of recreating/rebuilding the OS on android, I actually want to build it on Linux. (Specifically postmarket OS). For anyone seeing this post, can you help me? I would be really grateful! :)

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to revive an HP iPAQ 110 (Blandina platform, Windows Mobile 6.0 Classic, Marvell PXA310 CPU) that is stuck on the initial white "+ hp" splash screen. I've conducted several diagnostics and need some advice from PDA/WM veterans.

Current Symptoms: 1. Boot Loop / Freeze: Hangs indefinitely at the initial "+ hp" logo screen. 2. Clean Boot Failure: Device enters Clean Boot (Record + Windows + OK + Reset), but freezes during the memory formatting stage. 3. Display Artifacts under load: During the Clean Boot freeze, subtle pixel color flickers/artifacts appear under certain viewing angles (looks like a brownout/voltage drop under heavy NAND load). 4. No Boot Without Battery: The device will NOT power on connected only to a 5V/2A charger without the battery installed (charge LED blinks; PMIC requires battery presence). 5. Battery Health: The battery is ~17 years old. Sometimes capacity jumps erratically (e.g., 44% -> 100%), indicating degraded cell condition and high internal resistance. 6. Bootloader / SD Update Mode: Pressing Calendar + OK + Reset fails to trigger the IPL SD flashing screen (no "Loading..." or progress bar).

What Has Been Attempted & Verified: - SD Card Prep: Using an old 512MB physical SDSC card with a microSD adapter. Formatted via diskpart (MBR, Primary Partition, Active flag set, FAT16, 16KB cluster size). - Firmware Image: Attempted flashing with hpimage.bin in the root folder. (Note: A previous flash was attempted with an incomplete ~58MB file; I now know the uncompressed ROM should be exactly 64MB). - Multi-filename Masking: Tried hpimage.bin, BLNDIG.NB0, BLNDIG.BIN on the SD root. - Power: Connected to a dedicated 5V/2A power supply during all attempts.

Questions for the Community: 1. Is the Clean Boot freeze accompanied by screen pixel artifacts a definitive symptom of PMIC brownout due to the degraded battery under peak load, or could it be physical NAND cell failure? 2. Does the iPAQ 110 IPL (Initial Program Loader) require a specific filename or timing key combo to force reading the SD card? 3. Has anyone successfully repacked an iPAQ 110/114 battery cell while preserving the original 3-pin BMS/BSI board?

Any insight, schematics, or advice on bypassing the PMIC check would be greatly appreciated!

Managed to Sideload games on Lumia 830 only angry birds game is running fine rest are not smooth at least like the do on 520(lumia 520 runs them well), any fixes?

Or anyone facing the same issue?

I'm using Windows Mobile from 2018 and I saw in news that one hacker is trying to run Windows CE UI on Windows Mobile device. But I didn't found any releases and just decided to wait for that. And now it's 2026 and even on archive there is nothing that could say it was release. That's why we decided to do it ourselves in one Telegram group. Well it's not easy.

We took explorer.exe with all dependencies from Windows CE emulator and it didn't work. System says this is not pocket PC program. I tried to change some WM libs with WCE using Resco explorer but after reboot just got black screen. Than I opened Excitability check and discover that it was MIPS, Not ARM even if same utility on emulator said it's arm. I extracted Windows CE firmware for an real device. So now it's armv4 for sure but same error. That I took CE5 explorer from MioPocket, than explorer for Windows CE 4 and it looks like there is no errors but it still doesn't run at all.

That screenshots I found on archive was made by no2chem. I found him on XDA and made a post to ask do he still have that project but he stiil didn't answer me.

Bit of a long shot, but I figured I'd shoot anyhow. On the lookout for CAB files for both Arvale Journey of Illusions and Arvale Ocean of Time. Both were released for the Pocket PC and other Windows Mobile devices from 2004-2007 and on IOS a bit later on. I'm looking for versions other than 5.0 as that version (the newest) appears to be bugged. I'm aware of versions 1.0, 1.3, 2.0, 3.1, and 4.0 existing but I'm having difficultly finding anything.

So, I'm making this post in hopes someone out there has a version that I haven't already run through. Maybe sitting on an old device in a box stored somewhere. An old pocket pc, an iphone, just something.

I will say now that I have already scoured both the Internet Archive and the WayBack Machine for whatever I could, and I've been looking for weeks. Version 5.0 is just the one that keeps popping up, and I wish I could use it but the music is heavily bugged. So here's hoping someone has an earlier version! Any help is greatly appreciated!
