this might be a dumb question. When I run the upgrade does it remove all the sorfware I have from the device. Will I have to reload everything?

Hi All!

After flashing wm6 allocated memory in device down of 20 Mb - before flashing above 72-74 Mb, after - 53-55... This is ubnormal... This GLUK ;)

And I not single in this problem.

May be this cause in not normally checked upgrade by Asus developers... All the more - size ROM WM5 and ROM WM6 practically the same. Sorry for poor english. I'm Ukrainian - ODESSA-MAMA :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 3nigm4:
Of course, the PDA will be empty.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pisculescu:
I have exactly the same problem but with an asus a696 model. I really don't have any idea how to put the device into usb boot loader mode, where to find a new OS, or how to get the old one back. I tried hard reset but all i get is the asus logo.

If anyone can help me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 3nigm4:
If you haven't made a backup of your old WM5 before, I don't know how to help you. You need an NB0 image to upload with usbloader, maybe someone can share a copy of it.

EDIT:

The only one I've found is a russian backup:

A636N Russian http://slil.ru/24786936

you can upload it and than upgrade to WM6 from that... even if it is in russian, I think that is not hard to find File Explorer to run the Upgrade to WM6.

EDIT2:

Sorry, I've not seen that you got a A696
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] julbee:
same issue than rdistar here. Even if I was so happy to get it working again, it seems that coming back from WM6 to WM5 using the backup ROM (*.nb0) involve an anormal decrease of the internal flash storage. Strange...

Condamned to be happy with WM6 ENG !

I hope that a fix to this issue will be found soon...

May be an issue with WM6 update rather than backup restore using usbloader
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 3nigm4:
Exactly is not a problem of backup/restore, but, cause WM6 is bigger than WM5, the Asus update procedure change the partitions size of internal flash, increasing the OS partition and obviously decreasing the user partition. This is why is not a good thing return back to WM5. The only solution may be finding a program like usbloader that manage the partitions too, to change them in the way we need... but at the same time this program will be dangerous to be used, cause a mistake may damage bootloader that usually is in the first or last partition. In that case will becomes necessary to know where is the JTag connector, how to build a correct JTag interface, which program is needed to program back the bootloader and, obviously, the bootloader itself.

EDIT: or we can do something with pdocread/pdocwrite to change the flash data relative to partitions structure... but we have to know what we are doing... otherwise we'll create another brick :)

problem wm6pol to wm6wwe

Hi Guys,

I make some stupid mistake to put first the original wm6pol and try later to put wm6wwe but the upgrade say whole time that is the same version.Is for this problem also some fix to change this.:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChiemY:
in this case , i think you need to patch the upgrade tool.exe to remove the

check for the same version. if you have only one check before the restart of the

pda, you can easy break it with ida pro in real time debugging mode. But if you

have a secondary check after the restart (like language check) this can take a

little more time.

EDIT: after checking some other firmware, maybe the number version can be change on 5532 (159Ch)

159C: D3 02 (2D3h=723) A632N/A636N V30723 English version

159C: CF 02 (2CFh=719) A639 V10718? English version

159C: DD 02 (2DDh=733) A639 V01.0733.00 English version

you can try to add one but remember that i dont test this myself.

Patching to WM6

Hello,

I'm a Brazilian with a Czech A636N, so I really am desperate to change it to English. I've read all 14 pages of this thread already and got really close, but something weird is going on. Here's what I did:

1. download and unrar wwe.rar from Asus website into the root of a FAT16 formated 1gb SDcard.

2. changed the 3 bytes mentioned by ChiemY (from WWE to CSY is 05, 44, 5D) on the "Update.img".

3. inserted the card into a newly hard reseted ("from scractch") a636n.

4. run Upgrade Tool.exe on the PDA.

It runs, some quick "upgrading" screen in "DOS characters" shows up then reboots into old WM5 in Czech.

I tried also using l0v3r patching tool (which is great btw!) on step 2, but the results are the same.

If I try the original Update.img, the upgrade tool gives the usual "laguange does not match" warning and prevents update.

Any ideas of what might be wrong? And/or a way to debug the updating process to find out what's going wrong?

IT WORKED!!

Just a follow up, IT WORKED!! Somehow!! :)

I have sucessfully upgraded an A636N Czech WM5 to English WM6.

Really, I tried each update.img. Then after posting it here I decided to try again. First I renamed the update-original.img to update.img and then came the Language doesn't match warning. Then I changed the names again (update-altered.img to Update.img) and it worked. Really don't know why.

I will leave the above post as a quick walkthrough for future travelers that reach this thread. :)

THANKS A LOT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE HERE!!

ok, guys,

I've spent the last two days reading this thread.

I tried patching my spanish 632n to ENGWM6, but it still gives me the "Language don't match" message.

I also tried using the patched upgrade tool, but with that I only get a hard reset.

At this point I think the spanish codes are not right.

Any ideas?

After patching the firmware with my patch, try changing also the byte 13 from 04 to 0C, byte 2029 from 50 to 40 and byte 5537 from 37 to 3F (those bytes for spanish)

I think that those bytes for Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese needs to be changed too.

Hi,

I took the time to read this entire thread and some other threads on technologyatplay.com and I still have some unsolved problems.

The first one has already been asked. Hay anyone managed to rip the V03.0615.00 WWE version of the A63xN firmware? Is there any way I can put my hands on?

Yesterday, I have tried to use pdocread tool to backup the firmware of my PDA (see the signature). Prior to this, I have read the l0v3r post in this thread, I have read the rapi tools documentation and downloaded itsutilsbin-20070705.zip. Then I have copied the itsutils.dll in the WINDOWS directory of the PDA and run pdocread -t. The command did not work and the message was:

ERROR: Unable to open WinCE file '\windows' - Returned by WSARecv or WSARecvFrom to indicate the remote party has initiated a graceful shutdown sequence.

Can someone tell me if he (or she) has managed to use pdocread? Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Alx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 3nigm4:
I didn't copied the dll in Windows directory, the first time I started pdocread, it done it by itself, so, I don't know if it's a problem related to this or you have something installed on the PDA that interferes with pdocread. Try to make a backup of your files (if you need 'em), hard reset your PDA and after you get the today screen, try pdocread again without installing nothing other.

I used this procedure on my ITA version, and I'm not able to find a WWE rip on the net too, so, or isn't possible to rip WWE (but I don't think) or there's no people who want to do that (WWE people don't need this procedure to upgrade to WM6, they have got the official WWE upgrade, so, I think they're never came here, never searched the net for a "solution" yet.

If you successful rip you WM5 WWE PDA, your rip is welcome ;)
