Unofficial ROM upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0 leaked for Samsung i730
March 28, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

It is not official and you do this upgrade only at your own responsibility, but it is available anyway... so hopefully also official version will be released once too...



Apparently somebody has extracted Windows Mobile 5.0 from test version of Samsung i730 that running this version of OS:

These instructions aren't full detailed instructions, but are about as close as we can get to an overall install of the WM5 ROM IMG install. This is also not the end all WM5 release from Verizon, this is a dump from a WM5 enabled i730, which means NOT everything will be updated, and you will still have to run the WM5 update when it's released. SuperDave, Myself (mrailing), anyone hosting the files, pdaphonehome.com and the owners/administrators/moderators, are not responsible for anything you happen to do to your i730 during this upgrade. You take full responsibility for anything happening to your phone and understand this is presented to you as is. If you do this after it's first posted, your are part of the testing process. In my professional opinion, you should wait for Verizon to release their "supported" WM5 software, so just be warned.

It works for both the YE05 and the YH25 firmware (provided you move over the dll that's included). So you need to make sure you know which firmware you are using. Click Start -> Settings -> Phone. Click the Security Tab, then Click Version. Look at the last 4 digits under the S/W Version and Phone. It should say YE05 or YH25, if it says something different, stop here. THIS DOES NOT WORK ON THE I830.
