PDA Forum / Palm / September 2008Palm III. Can I still get a 3.5 or 4.1 upgrade.
Hi, I have an old Palm III, that I want to use as a DataLogger for my car. I've found the relevant cables and software, but it needs a minimum OS of 3.5. It looks like Palm pulled these upgrades a long time ago. Are there any alternate sources. Cheers. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Cheers. I don't have a link anymore, but the VX had a free upgrade to 3.5, if you interrupted the install and go into the advanced mode, it will flash a III or any Dragonball CPU PDA. The official 4.1 upgrade CD can be found on eBay off-and-on. But the only things it adds to 3.5 are SD card related. You should look for a TRG Pro, it was a III with a CF card slot added on. It's OS 3.5.1 already had all of the additions of Palm OS4.1 6 months before Palm released it. >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > on.

Check the palm site: http://www.palm.com/us/support/palm3/?prop5=handhelds&prop6=palm%20iii&events=ev ent17&eVar2=handhelds It list the out of the box version with each handheld and the posible upgrades > Check the palm site: > http://www.palm.com/us/support/palm3/?prop5=handhelds&prop6=palm%20iii&events=ev ent17&eVar2=handhelds > > It list the out of the box version with each handheld and the posible > upgrades No longer, Palm reclaimed server space by removing old updates and the pages that link them. I.e. the III had 12 or so update/downloads and Palm now says no updates available. >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >on.

I had read there was a "trick" to getting the Vx to load on the III, but I hadn't been able to find it anywhere. It's worth a try, as even if it screws up, I haven't lost anything, as I'm not using the III for anything. Cheers. >>> Hi, >>> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > >Cheers. Well, that doesn't work. I've tried everything, even re-flashing with 3.3 immediately before trying the 3.5. I get one of a numbr of different errors: Encountered an error flashing the ROM into the handheld. The existing ROM is invalid - the entire ROM needs to be reflashed. Or: The Plam OS Software Upgrade Utility encountered an error reading the handheld's product code. As a result, the software upgrade cannot continue. Timeout error. Or: Some other error, that I can't reproduce now, that implied a corrupt ROM. Any further ideas. Cheers. >>>> Hi, >>>> [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > > Cheers. I saw a refurbished Palm 105 at Frys electronic the other day for 35 dollars. Considering time and money it may be cheaper to go to a new handheld. > Well, that doesn't work. I've tried everything, even re-flashing with 3.3 > immediately before trying the 3.5.

You can only steal the software in advanced mode. Do a Google search "Palm install advanced mode" or sum such. >> Well, that doesn't work.

Cheers. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Cheers. http://www.palm.com/us/support/35upgrade/index.html *seems* still to be alive. I started down the trail of links and got a "file download" panel. There also seem to be detailed installation instructions.
