[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FrankKF:
I can only talk from the perspective of my own experience ... I stepped through all of Kozhura's releases .. and landed on his WM6-v4. I did NOT attempt 6.1, however ... as the immediate comments were signaling problems.

While there has been considerable discussion on this thread about difficulties, including with v4, my experience has been positive. This means that, (a) I have followed the ROM burning procedures perfectly, OR (b) I have just been lucky with my unit, OR (c) a+b.

I should add that I had my unit upgraded to 128MB memory by PocketPCTechs.com ... and recommend them and the upgrade.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jwy2k2:
IMO version 3 was better than version 4. I've installed every ROM that kozhura created except 6.1

Version 4 does have a different install procedure but I think that I installed it correctly. I'm on the pdaViet6.1 now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] figurhead:
I found v3 to be very stable, with good battery wear, using both a 2GB SD and a 4GB CF card. BUT, I could not connect to WPA-PSK encrypted wireless.

I found v4 to be stable, I think the WPA-PSK worked good, but battery life really drained quickly with the two cards installed (SD & CF).

I reverted to the 211 Enterprise rather upgrade the memory of the hx4700, although that upgrade from pocketpctechs is definetly the way to go, if keeping the 4700 is in your best interest.

Heelp!!!!!! PPC is dead

Hi everyone,

I'm very worry about my HX4700. It has Kozhura's WM6 R4 and everything was OK up to now.

My PPC turned very slow and I didn't know why. I did a hard reset it and restore the backup file with no problems and suddenly, when I restarted once more, it never booted again! I can only see the HP+ logo blue screen. I tried hard reset and got nothing. I plug it to AC-Power but nothing happens. I was able to put it into boot-mode and rewrite WM6 R4. It did it without any error but when I tried to restart the PPC (or do a hard reset) the only thing I can see is the "clearing data, please wait" message.

Does anybody suffered this before? I don't know what could it be! the battery was ok. Is the original one... I don't know if battery dead is this way! the thing is that I don't have instruments to test battery charge.

Please if some one can help me, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Lucas

PS: On AC Power, the orange light is not flashing... It should flash??? Or if the battery is completely dead it wont do anything?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirlan2001:
I guess your battery is death. The led should be flashing when charging and stay solid when finished. If the battery is finished you can't get the ol' lady to work.....

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MannyMania:
Thats all correct except when the in bootloader mode, flashing process, or while rebooting. Last night i wanted to flash to another wm6.1 but my battery was low (cf and sd slots were not working). I put it into bootloader mode started flashing. It was after 2am and i wasn't going to wait for it to fnish. This morning at 9am it was still in bootloader mode and flashing completed. After it booted my battery is full. The flashing light I believe only active when the os is loaded up. Now if you can't even get it into bootloader mode then your in trouble. Try pulling the main battery for a minute & putting it back. Then try to put it into bootloader right away. It it works then reflash.

Good luck.

Sound TomTom

Verry strange! I've updated my HP4700 to Wm6 (build 18533.0.7.0.) When I start TomTom and bluetooth high quality and I get my sound by BT Motorola headphone (build in my helmet), I hear the voice (each sentence) very strange. First word in my headphone, then a word on my Pda en again a word on my headphone. Next sentence the same etc. :confused:

When I start my music, this is only heard by my headphone. When I start them (music and TomTom) together, TomTom acts again very strange while the music is playing normal by my headphone.

I've tried several things. Also tried to delete and rename the Btcoreif.dll file. The file cann't be deleted or renamed.

Who can help me???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] santasemilla:

Upgrade Decision

Guys, sorry to have bothered you (again); however, I REALLY need your ideas and suggestions on the upgrade decision (my hx4705).

I've read your comments with great interest and worry and excitement; however, recently, (I think) I'm gravitating toward Kozhura's WM6-v3, since it's (presumably) more stable, as opposed to WM6-v4.

Apparently, at least in part, this is a do-or-die decision, and therefore I need your assistance.

My question is: "Should I stay with the 2003 SE OS?" or "Should I go for the Kozhura's WM6-v3 upgrade?"

Also, I'm afraid of losing my VGA quality (and other programs) and compatibility issue after the upgrade.

I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions on this critical decision.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi.

If WM 2003 were better you would not find a 2000+ thread talking about how to push WM5 and WM6 in our beloved toys. Just try some of the different ROMs in this and Sanjai´s thread (for WM 6.1) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=371079 until you find the one you like the best.

With Chrismrulz bootloader you can always load any ROM you wish. I do not think you can actually brick the hx4700 if you have that tool. (You can always go back to WM 2003). So...

Forget your fears and good luck!!

hx4700 - Which WM6/WM6.1 version the BEST for hx4700?

Hi All

I haven't been here in a while now.

The last upgrade I did was WM6 - September 2007. I'm trying to catchup reading the posts but it gets a bit confusing with regards to the "best" version to use.

Which version is the best to upgrade to? (could you send me the link please? With maybe an explanation please)

I know in previous versions I could not install the Wireless LAN certificate.

PPC2003 and WM5 were able to. Does the newer WM6/WM6.1 version(s) fix this?

Also, is there perhaps a (correct) procedure to follow with regards to flashing the hx4700 to Wm6/WM6.1? Bootloader or mtty???

Your help and feedback would be greatly appreciated. (if possible could you send/post links and version "dates" please?)

Thank You

Anyone who had a 4700 and got the new Ipaq 210 I would like to know your opinion. How much better is it??? I was really close to buying it but changed my mind. What held me back.... The IR port. The 210 has no ir port. Big deal, but if found it really dam nice to be able to ir sync and print. It was also a major problem for me because my 4700 is also my universal remote. Also very cool. The 4700 thanks to the rom cooking is still top of the line. The only thing I never liked about it was the glide point pad. Gaming is outta there. I always expected to see a mod come out for sawpping it to buttons instead of the pad.

This is a great review of the 210 vs the 4700. As a former hx4700 (w/ Kozhura wm6), I am pleased with the iPAQ 210 as a replacement. Performance is great, about 2x the memory and apps run well from internal ram. It doesn't haver an infrared, but I rarely used it.My only complaint is the less sensitive touch screen.

For those on the fence on the upgrade, HP is offering a healthy rebate for former hx4700 owners (Fair Market Value plus $50) who buy a 210. Check out: http://www.hp.com/united-states/tradein/promo/ipaq/index.html

hx4700 upgrade to WM 6.1? from 2003 files & directions

I've been using and upgrading my HTC xv6800 and would like to dust off my old (but all revamped, like new with added memory) hx4700 which of course has the old WM 2003 on it.

I upgraded to WM5 a long time ago (bought the upgrade from HP off of the HP site) but had LOTS and LOTS of problems. Sent the device to have it overhauled and have extra memory added and reverted back to WM 2003.

Now I would like to upgrade my 4700 to WM6.1 but would love to avoid having to dig around for the proper forum and then read countless posts in order to get to the most current ROM, bootloader, unlocker etc-etc-etc (if that's the terms that is used on the 4700s).

Can anyone help me out on this? :confused:

hx4700 dead after battery exchange

Hello,

Few weeks ago I stumbled upon this tread, and tried to install the Ramsses WM6.1 rom to my hx4700.

Installation went fine, but the device ran unstable. After each reset more programs gave an unsupported or incorrectly signed error. To re-flash the pda I had to remove the extended battery, and that when things went wrong.

The screen stayed black, with power button, reset button, reset+itask+calendar etc, nothing worked. When i removed the battery, and placed it back again the screen turned white, unit I pressed a button, and it became black again. This happend twice, and since no sign of life.

I left the device on the charger for a long time, left it without a battery, and even removed the backup battery for a while, but in veil. I know for sure the extended battery has +70% left.

Can anybody give a suggestion how to get it running again?

thanks a lot, and keep up the good work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Puzom:
Hi,

Maybe this will help:

1) Try removing battery for 10 minutes and then try again. May have to poke the reset buton a few times too.

2) Can you put the hx4700 into bootloader mode? If so try reflashing again.

3) If you can reflash do the following after reflash is done:

You must hard reset. Hang up on clearing is normal. Wait a little (2 min) then soft reset wait a little. Then hard reset again wait more (5 min) should be OK, no hang up this time?

4) From HP:

Note: If you simultaneously push and hold the Reset, Calendar, and iTask buttons for more than two seconds, the battery disconnects. To restart the unit, either plug the unit into the AC Adapter or press the Reset button again.

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vimesUK:
Mine did exactly the same thing, with revision 1g. First of it would freeze, where it would no longer accept any key inputs. Hard reseting the unit failed to resolve this nor did reflashing it.

Eventually the PDA would no longer recognise the SD card in the slot, not sure why as the card is fine and so are all my other working SD cards.

Then the PDA went black.

Removing both batteries for ages has made no difference and the PDA seems to be totally dead, no sign of life when placed on the cradle.

Bootloader mode is not an option as....

it is dead :(

oh hum, hope that your works out ok, fingers crossed for you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Puzom:
@vimesUK

So yours is still dead? No Warrenty nomore?

I just flashed mine to WM6.1 with v1g ROM and sofar seems to be working OK. Had several resets and all progs still run fine.

When I got mine two years ago I flashed it to WM5 (official HP upgrade) and after a week or so it just hang using iGO6 navigation. Nothing helped to get it back to life.....so called HP and they came to get mine as I still had warrenty. According to HP my mainboard had issues and was replaced. All OK since.....just hope that the flashing of WM6.1 ROM will also be working without problems....

Bit scary to read HX4700 die after ROM flashing.......but still wonder perhaps it's just a hardware failure and not the ROMs..........how old was your PDA?

Cheers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vimesUK:
@Puzom

The PDA is a few years old so no warranty there I'm afraid. And yes I'm sure that it is dead and sadly resurrection hasn't yet happened, I always wanted a really expensive brick....!

I'm not sure why the events that I noted happened, but they did.

Still onwards and upwards, off to find a replacement...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
Vimesuk,

Unfortunate about your PDA. However, before you use mortar with your brick, are you sure the battery cover was in the LOCKED position? The 4700 will not respond to anything if the battery cover is unlocked. Just a thought because I had the same experience and fright. When I locked the battery, it came alive.

Hope this works for you.

Regards,

Sanjay
