(1) How much free program memory (RAM) do you have after a soft reset?

(2) In short, do you prefer newplow over Pups 0.0.4?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chilluminati:
Running the Pups 0.0.4 release of WM6 is just a charm on the N560 :)

First I've tried to use the newplow image, but there was no chance to get the GPS working! Now with the Pups image no problem running GPS. Language change with RealVGA to german works also fine :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oNNoZeLe:
1. storage:55.93free and program 29.86 free

2. both are fine but not great. missing some bleutooth features that the axim driver had in wm5.

But it is fast, and that is a big plus. I think that if we give it some more time this rom wil evolve to a great one..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] -SKYLINE-:
Chilluminati mentioned something about GPS issues, have you encountered this problem on the N560? thanx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oNNoZeLe:
Maybe,

i had some issues with igo myway 2006, when closing the port was left open.

After re-opening the nav app it was unable to open the GPS port.

But i never tested another gps app, so i thought this was an isolated event/error.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
?!

Sry but where can i find the wm6 rom for the n560 ?!?!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oNNoZeLe:
try reading thru this thread.. there are several links.:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] master2048:
Hi oNNoZeLe,

Did you try any SDHC card on newplow's "N560_WM6.016.net3.5" rom, in another word:

1, Is it support to access SDHC by default?

2, Is wireless work together with SDHC?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] master2048:
Well, answer to my own questions:

1, SDHC NOT SUPPORT YET.

2, N/A

plus,

N560_WM6.016's core is older(5.2.1437 Build 17944.0.3.8) than N560.C550.WM6.Pups.777_Team.0.0.4(5.2.1908 b18508.0.7.0)

so far The only big advantage is .net framework update to 3.5.7283

I suggest N560 users wait until next possibly release with kernel 5.2.1933 (build 17944.0.7.0)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oNNoZeLe:
N560_WM6.016's ->> is this the newplow version?

and i don't have any SDHC cards, so i wouldn't have been able to test it for you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] master2048:
Yes, "N560_WM6.016" refer to newplow's version.

And thanks, I've already flash newplow's "N560_WM6.016" onto my N560 (a risk loving manic :mad:). the result for SDHC is as above mentioned: NOT SUPPORT SDHC.

(I'm using a Transcend 4G Class6 SDHC card when perform the test)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] master2048:
One more comments:

newplow's "N560_WM6.016" version doesn't give a good performance in A2DP.

Hissing sound in all music background that used to fine when played in PC.

As a music lover, I used to use n560 as a wireless walkman (with help of a bluetooth stereo headset).

The build-in bt stack comes with the original WM5 image is rubbish! Many hissing sound (especial in high frequency human voice). The tweaks to registry helps a little bit but the WM6 image from Russian genius: N560.C550.WM6.Pups.777_Team.0.0.4 has a great improvement in the A2DP feature. After flash to it nothing need to be done you just have your wireless music very crystal and hard to tell if it's from a wired headset.

So be alert, if you're using wireless bt headset like me and have a sharp ear:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oNNoZeLe:
So it starts looking like that the 777_team rom is a bit better than the newplow.

although i have been running the newplow rom for several weeks (or months:confused:) i haven't really run into a issue for me.

I have been checking the 4pda forum for any development but no new releases yet.. too bad..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oNNoZeLe:

any issues with 030 so far? I can't read russian so i'm really looking forward to further comments and updates by others who can or are braver than me to try the new releases.

PS - on a side note. I recently dug up some info on the N560 Bluetooth hardware spec. The chip itself is only capable in 1.2 mode, so no hope of having a 2.0 update :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oNNoZeLe:
Had a little glitch in the wireless manager, but had that only once..

And the "turn on" delay when shutdown with wifi ON. It take about a 1,5sec to switch on the screen...

OK so we've got WM6..

Hi folks,

OK so we've got WM6 awesome!

But there are a certain things i would like to be sure about. I guess i am not the only person. Some ppl already asked some good question but no answers at all..

Has anyone started something like Howto ?

I personally love my n560 and i don't want to brick it cause of some stupid mistakes.

Here are some things which i think are vital to know before starting..

1. Howto create a Working Backup of your WM5 Orginal rom and what Software you need for this? (For different languages)

2.Which ROM should be used (Your experience) Where to download them what tools you need for flashing? Any other important informations?

So .. I'd like to have this questions sorted before i try flashing my pda.

Thx already

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] -SKYLINE-:
it appears Newplow has released version 32 (http://newplow.euro.ru). and from what i can read using google translate, he's working on 6.1 in parallel to perfecting 6.0 versions. Anyone willing to give 32 a go? (i have to wait one more month before I can relieve my N560 from it's daily critical role)

another note: a new SDHC patch claiming to work with wifi for N560 has been posted in this xda-dev thread. Can anyone see if it works with the WM6 ROMs? Cheers

"As a result of exploitation firmware WM 6.1.018 revealed 2 - bug:

2nd problem is fixed, it emerged because of an updated driver BT. Returned old driver and I have fully earned headset Samsung WEP210 and the reproduction and recording. The same driver was used in the firmware and WM 6.0 ver.033. Strangely, why nobody has written that he was in the works bad.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maxh:
Are these Newplow ROMs for the n560 in english or russian?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
If you download them and look at them with a hex editor, the clue is that near the start of the image file they have the language in three characters. These show ENG which is clearly English. Editing them or changing to another three letter code (e.g. FRA gives French) will install alternative languages depending upon the three letters.

I have not used them yet, but both the WM6.1 ROMs are set to ENG or English.

N560 Device ID after flashing ROM

Hi all,

It seems that after flashing the N560.WM6.032g ROM update the 15-digit device ID is changed. Therefore, registered software (NAVIGON) fails to run.

I assume that the ID is encrypted in the bin file.

Does somebody knows the offset address of the ID for the WM5 and WM6 bin files - or is there another way to solve this?

regards,

Amyl
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hendrixus:
Where can this be find that number?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] amyl:
Hi,

Forgot to tell that the 15-digit number is generated by NAVIGON during registration on the PDA. I cannot find it without running the MobileNavigator6 software. This number plus the software's serial number is to be sent to NAVIGON, and they send you back an activation number.

I had my MN6 software registered under WM5, but after the WM6 update, the device number is changed...

regards,

Amyl
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] amyl:
It is probably related to the number found under :

Settings>Sytem information>Identity>Device serial No.

WM6.1 NewPlow and TCPMP 0.72 and wma files

I have finally gone for NewPlows ROM with Quick GPS etc built in. I have successfuly added Broadcom and SDHC drivers.

What has irritated me more than anything is that the Freeware TCPMP will not play wma files, saying the codec is not supported. I had spent a lot of time converting to my CDs to "wma" as the quality of recordings is better than mp3 for the same bit rate....

TCPMP for wma files worked fine under WM5. Has anyone else worked out how to make it work, please? I have tried installing it in both main memory and SDHC but both give the same pop up error window regarding the codec.

Am I missing something?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bozolinho:
Hi,

Have you tried Mortplayer?

http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&entry=mp_program&action=list

Have not tested it with WMA but is a great mp3 player and should work with WMA using the GS Player wma plugin.

Nevertheless it is not nice, that it TCPMP wont work well under 6.1...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
I did try it before and liked the sheer variety of options and tuning that TCPMP gives you. I will be sad if TCPMP cannot be made to work somehow. I will try MortPlayer again. I do use his Mortscript, which is excellent!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
Since installing WM6.1 I have my suspicions that there is a greater current drain on the battery. It just seems to run down that bit quicker. It could be my battery has been thrashed and is losing its capacity, but I am still curious.

I am about to run some tests using acbPowerMeter. I wonder if the Processor settings have something to do with it. Unless I am mistaken, I remember only three options under WM5 but there seem now to be four i.e. Turbo Mode, Standard Mode, Power Saving Mode and Automatic Mode. It is not exactly clear what are the benefits and performance of each option!

I plan to assess the performance and especially effects on power consumption. Each setting probably does something to the frequency of the clock running the processor and how that is controlled under load and I wonder if there is any documentation to describe this?

Does anyone else believe they are getting through battery juice more quickly after the move from WM5 to WM6.1?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] -SKYLINE-:
You have mistaken. I'm have yet upgraded, and there are those four options.

hello

Since it is possible to extract the file imgfs of 0S_213U.nbf and then do the dump of the file imgfs, modify the files of the rom and then return to reconstruct it?

Where it is possible to obtain information to reconstruct the rom of our loox n560?

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
For any of you interested, I have investigated why TCPMP does not find the WMA and WMV codecs. It is because they have been re-named in WM6, since TCPMP is now a bit old it doesn't find them. To make it work under WM6 you need to copy the two "old" WM5 codecs into the WM6 Windows folder on your device. The files are called wmadecoder.dll and wmvdecoder.dll. This makes TCPMP work properly under WM6. You can find them at

http://www.expansys-usa.com/ft.aspx?k=106587

Done!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
You can do it this way or you can pick up the original ROM images from 4PDA site here http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=50546 but you will need a Google translation. Beware though, I found that some of the "original" ROM images had been edited in minor ways, indeed one I tried stopped Outlook synchronisation with ActiveSync and persisted in connecting as a Guest! Your solution of making your own device's image would not suffer from this!

If you rummage around you can even find instructions for re-constructing your own devices image as an .nbf file.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alumoi:
Hmm, so I'm not paranoid after all :)

I think that the device is operation in turbo mode regardless of the setting you choose.

I installed Newplow's WM6 rom with the instant GPS fix and the SDHC support (file name N560.WM6.032g.7z ) and everything seems to be in english except for the time/date today plug-in. That's in Russian. Is there any way to get that in English?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
And you probably find there is an odd letter "r" at the right hand end of the date?

Easy, go to Settings/System/Regional/Region tab then change to your region, but also go to Date tab and change the Long date entry to d MMMM yyyy and you should find everything works just fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
I have now mamaged to run some tests with acbPowerMeter and setting the processor to each of the four options DO change the power consumption, just as they did under WM5. This shows that the processor clock speed is being changed, methinks.

I have come to the conclusion that I am just nervous that some things might be worse after upgrading. I suspect the power consumption is just the same. I ran the GPS and navigation software for a 3 hour walk yesterday and found the battery drop was much the same as WM5.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
Hey, how did you "find" it? Has it ever worked since you found it?

If stuck on the climbers screen then you may well have a bricked device. Have you tried taking the battery out and then back in? It might restart.

If this doesn't work then try a hard reset? Press Power, Claendar button and stylus in the rest hole in the bottom all simultaneously, then remove the stylus whilst still holding the other two buttons and wait until the screen display disappears. When it returns, the climbers picture should appear and the device starts from scratch with screen alignment etc. But if it then asks for a password, you have probably got a "missing" device! Unless you have the password that unlocks the machine, its back to FS for an expensive unlock....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Turbo-Loox:
adjust language

This is a bit confusing:

1. Near the start are the three characters referring to the language, e.g. ENG. They belong to the header which is 42 bytes long. The language given here has to be identical to the current language in the ROM otherwise flashing the ROM with the new OS will fail. Correct? In my case I have to change the language from ENG to GER.

2. However, after the 42 bytes of the header the image of the OS starts. Not too far away from here, you find again three characters referring to the language. Do I have to change the language there as well? Maybe that is the location to determine the OS language. Have you guys changed those characters as well?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IceBox:
thnx a lot!! i make this "hard reset" and now it`s ok! but are 2 problems.

1.I have a battery inside and it doesent charge , and the device is telling me that he is in AC charging mode.

Download (from the same site you got the ROM image) and run the FSC PocketLoox5xxFlashTool.exe program. Follow it's instructions carefully.

Why aren't you sticking with WM5? You haven't said if it charges now (has any of the charge stuck?) and does the device already run properly under WM5? If not, why are you bothering?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IceBox:
The point is , it doesent charge the baterry , no lights flashing at all,it work just from AC power.understaind? i told you that i found the device (walk with my girlfriend and found it on the road) so i don`t know what is with it.When i first started the device (i bought a car charger) i wait arround 1 hour to enter in windows (it appears on the screen te boot image ,fijutsu siemens bla bla and do nothing).this is all the story.......

now the problem is that i don`t know how to flash this thing , i can`t escape fromt that "no loox device" message....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
It is probably hardware locked and therefore no amount of flashing will make it start. It was either stolen or deliberately damaged and abandoned, or thrown away because it doesn't work! Either way, good try, but it sounds as if it is only worthy of the bin!

Buy another new model... it doesn't seem to be worth any more effort... bye
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
I have noticed that Transcriber seems to have been removed from WM6.1 and perhaps WM6 too? Or has it been taken out by our Russian friends when creating the new ROMs for the N560? I personally do not mourn its loss.

There seems to be slight differences between the Note app, which still has an option of Drawing, but you cannot now use Transcriber to translate into text. It can still record voice notes crudely.

And Mobile Notes seems an odd stilted application even less useful than Notes? What is going on? Is it Microsoft or our Russian friends again?
