[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Norax:
Hello all,

I have received a lot of petitions to re-upload the links to the language ROMs I made originally for the iPaq 914 I made some years ago.

As some of you may know, I lost the original work when Megaupload was closed. But now I've finally found my backups, so I have rebuilt the ROMs to its original state. I also have the kitchens, so if anybody wants to continue with the work, I can give them after a request by PM.

Thank you all for your support along the time. I hope all of you who needed the files finally enjoy them.

Here we go with the original message (links updated hereafter and in the Original Thread):

In this thread I'd like to introduce you to the different languages ROM translations for the Ipaq 91x devices ;)

I did it first for the Spanish one. The developing of this ROM is into this thread. There, with some ppl help, I made successive tries until I got a very well translated ROM. So this one is a final version, and to take care of your suggestions, I appreciate you to go to the thread mentioned before.

The second attempt has been the French one. Mrpro1 asked me to do it and I accepted. It is based on the Spanish one, and after a while I can say that almost everything works perfectly. There are some issues with the translation of the keyboard, but nothing serious.

The rest of the versions are divided in two types: The normal ROMs and the Unicode symbol ones. I mean, for example the Chinese and the Polish ones have to have some symbols that doesn't appear in ASCII code. So the initflashfiles.dat is SO WEIRD (rows of numbers and letters separated by slashes) to work with that its possible that there are still some bugs. I worked recently over the polish one so please, write some feedback to know if everything works well. If not, post what does not work and I'll see if can be corrected or not.

There are two things that never worked and is not expected to do it anymore, but they are very easy to correct at first startup: The app button config is on Configuration -> Personal -> Buttons, and the USB connection to the PC is activated on Configuration -> Conections -> USB to PC

ENJOY! And think in making a little donation please. There Is a LOT of work here :)

Any comment is welcome, it encourages me to continue correcting and improving the ROM.

And consider making a small donation to encourage more even! hehe.

I accept suggestions

PD: You can request me to translate the ROM into any other language. In the French one everything seems to be ok, except for the physic AZERTY keyboard (the soft keyboard shows AZERTY :) )

PD2: I only talk Spanish, English and French; so try to write the feedback or the requests in any of these languages.

PD3: It was a LOT of work, don't you think I deserve a very cold beer? :p

Flashear el aparato es peligroso. No tendria porqué pasar nada. De hecho, mucha gente lo hace, incluido yo; pero lo haces por tu cuenta y riesgo.

Flashing your device is dangerous. Nothing should happens, since a lot of ppl, included me, do it; but you do it by your own risk.

-------------

Instrucciones para flashear:

De los links de abajo consigues un archivo .zip. Lo descomprimes y tienes el .dio. Éste se mete en una tarjeta de menos de 2 gigas (si no no funciona, porque no puede ser sdhc) y ponemos el telefono en modo sdloader con la tarjeta dentro. Para ello hay que pulsar Vol+ y tecla Ok lateral y apretar reset sin dejar de soltar las otras dos teclas. Luego, el chisme hace una serie de cosas y acaba haciendo un clean reboot. Después de todo el proceso, aparece una pantallita azul y unas instrucciones que si se siguen, llevan a la pantalla de inicio de WM6.5 :)

Instructions for flashing:

What you get from my links is a .zip file. Decompress it and you have the .dio file. Put this file into a less than 2 gb sd (sdhc won't work) and put your device in sdloader mode. This happens pressing together volumeup + ok and pressing reset releasing the two vol and ok buttons. After doing this, the device checks the file integrity, flash to your device rom and do a clean reboot. When is finished, it ahould autoreset, but if not, it will show a black screen for a long time. Is then when it has finished, so then make a reset and your device will have installed the WM6.5!! Folow the instructions and that's all :)

Arreglando 9xx Stuck@Bootloader SOLUCIÓN:

Después de hacer una actualización desde una mala Sd o un archivo .DIO corrupto, hay una manera de volver a la normalidad. Se necesita:

DNW (archivo Include Driver) http://www.mediafire.com/?zmnmzmwnjtk

El archivo FLASH.DIO con el que se quiera resolver (preferiblemente el de Hp original; entrar AQUÍ, bajar la actualización de la ROM de unos 60Mg, descomprimir con WinZip el archivo .exe y renombrar el FLASH.NBF)

A continuación:

- Abrir el DNW.exe, [Configuration] => [Option], cambiar [Download Address] desde 0xc000000 a 0x3000000

- Renombrar FLASH.DIO (ó .NBF) a FLASH.nb0

- Poner el chisme en download mode: VOL.UP + OK + Reset

- Enchufa el teléfono al ordenador y selecciona manualmente el driver a instalar (los archivos están en la carpeta SEC)

- Volver a DNW.exe y [USB Port] => [UBOOT] => [UBOOT] y seleccionar Flash.nb0

Fixing 9xx Stuck@Bootloader SOLUTION:

After doing a ROM updrage from a bad miniSD card or .DIO file, there is a way to bring it back. You need:

DNW (Include Driver file) http://www.mediafire.com/?zmnmzmwnjtk

Your device's Flash.DIO file (preferably the Hp original one; go HERE, download your ~60Mb actualization file, unzip the exe file and rename the FLASH.NBF)

How to:

- Open DNW.exe, [Configuration] => [Option], change [Download Address] from 0xc000000 to 0x3000000

- Rename FLASH.DIO (ó .NBF) to FLASH.nb0

- Bring your Device into download mode: VOL.UP + OK + Reset

- Plug your device in the PC, and manually select driver to install (files are in SEC folder)

- Back to DNW.exe and [USB Port] => [UBOOT] => [UBOOT] and select Flash.nb0
