Timtoolman,

Good to hear that you are going to give it a try.

I sort of have a phillosophy that is it isn'y broken don't fix it. But in this case I was so wrong. I put off doing the upgrade for months and then I became just so ticked with the slowness of my hx4700 that I decided to try. Nothing ventured nothing gained. I am now so glad that i did load this ROM as my hx4700 now runs very fast.

Have you been over to Brighthand and had a look at the Forum there that discusses upgrading the ROM? If not would suggest you have a look to further confirm my thoughts.

http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=246529

The only other thing is to be patient when going through the ROM upload as it does take some time!!!!!!

let me know what happens.

I've tried to read as many of the 37 pages of this thread as possible.

Here is the issue I'm having now that I've upgraded my 4700 from 2003 to WM6.

When the unit goes to sleep, it often will not wake up, despite repeated pressing of the power button. Reseting the unit will turn it on, but the screen is dark (the backlight is not on). The only thing that will work is putting it in the charging cradle - that fixes it.

I've tried this with two different batteries, and I get the same result.

Any thoughts?

Normally, you should presse the Power button a long time "2 seconds" to lignt the screen.

Here's one bug i just found.

Accessing Navpoint through the contacts button (long press) brings this error "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename." So I tried accessing Navpoint mode from the windows directory and lo, that annoying "memory Unavailable" pops up. And yes i already did a hard reset and a reflash as well. Im going back to WM6 3.2.

I have also the same problem with this backup battery, I have the feeling that it is not charged. When I look into the power properties I see that the main battery is charging ("AC Charging") but this is not the case with the backup battery. I don't know if it has something to do with WM6, but after installing WM6 I got this problem.

Wifi and Bluetooth question...

I have 2003 SE on my device at the moment. One of the biggest problems I have is turning on both radios (and sometimes just Bluetooth in general) if I have been using my device allot. It is a well know fact that this is all due to memory stomping because the drivers are limited to a particular space, but apps can use this space up.

My question is is WM6 eliminates all this nonsense and has a better memory system that allows the radios to function correctly.

Thanks for your answer(s) in advance!!1

0.7.0 First ROM

This is a nice stable ROM, no issues so far except WPA-TKIP associates, but no IP address assigned to mobile, must be something broken related to shared key. Anyone else found this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SuperJMN:
I experienced that issue in the past. Now, if you just can't turn on BT it's because you have not much RAM available. Then you go to Settings->Memory and stop some app. If you try again, the BT turns on, not like in WM2003, that was insisting on making you reset the device once it says you have not enough memory.

I definitely recommend WM6 for you.

WM5 WM6 upgrade for HX4700

Hi I'm new to this forum, I would like to upgrade my iPAQ 4700 from Windows Mobile 2003 to WM5 or WM6 which is the best to go for. Should I go to WM5 first and then to WM6? How do I go about doing this? I think I understand a boot loader is required. where do I find the ROM images? Is there some software for backing up my existing ROM? Are there different language versions of WM5 & 6 (UK)

I would quote a post of LIminwei from pxdxa :

"WM5 SD backup is complicated

1. a WM5-installed-already HX4700 + a bigger SD than 256MB

2. install activesync 3.8 (remove 4.2 or 4.5B2, including registry)

romupdate.exe cannot recognize 4.2 or 4.5B2

(in fact, in my case the 4.5 with win xp works well)

3. use winhex to fill the SD with 00

4. put the SD into HX4700 but donnot format it

5. On PC: ctrl + alt + del to turn off wcescomm.exe

6. contac + itask + power + reset > 5 secs to make HX4700 into serial mode

7. put serial HX4700 into cradle and serial change to USB with AC power

8. run romupdate.exe (you can download it on pxdxa)

choose \\.\wceusbsh001

push enter until you see the

USB> (not necessarily, but it dosen't always matter)

then key in d2s

This will make a WM5 SD backup.

when you want to reflash your HX4700

put the SD into HX4700 and donnot format it

contac + itask + power + reset > 5 secs to make HX4700 into serial mode (and it will prompt to to download from SD card)

then push power button to start to reflash the ROM"

I love the wm6 upgrade, im glad the hx4700 has been able to keep evolving after all these years :)

I used to be able to connect to my bluetooth headphones for high quality sound when i had WM5, now i can only connect to them in regular quality sound as regular hands free instead of high quality. I also noticed in registry there is no a2dp section

We still have a2dp support right?

Also, since I mentioned registry, we might want to incorporate this setting

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BtConfig\UserInterface]

DWORD Name: TrayIcon

Value: 1

It puts the bluetooth icon next to the wifi icon in the bottom tray. When i used wm5 on the hx4700 it had that registry key. I found it kind of convenient. Dont know about you guys

WM6 upgrade before or after memory upgrade

I am pretty sure I am going to get the PPC-Techs memory upgrade for my 4705. Should I do the WM6 upgrade before or after, or will it make a difference?

Also, does anyone have a tricked out 4705 and an Advantage? Could you comment on one vs the other using them purely as a PDA.

I have an MDA that I am happy with until someone makes a significantly better slider. Does anyone make a better slider, and the wing is not it.

I agree, TCPMP is the greatest. I remember when it used to be called betaplayer ^^

Not much of a 'howto' but a sort of 'tips'...

Download this thing: http://rapidshare.com/files/56341299/hx4700_eng_splash_change.zip.html

1) Change splash1.png, splash2.png in this archive to whatever you like (if you want of course), but splash2.png must be 240x320, and splash1.png must be 480x640. (splash2.png will be shown FIRST, and splash1.png - second when device is booting).

2) Run splash_create.bat. There must appear a file named S_DATA exactly 768000 bytes in size. (if not - well, something went wrong)

3) Get a last kozhura's .nbf flash file (maybe other flashes will also be appropriate even ENG wm5's)

4) Run splash_write.bat d:\dev\hx\hx4700_wm6_flash.nbf (just change path and filename of .nbf to your one)

5) Ok ... But - now - I don't know how this modified .nbf can be flashed with a standard flasher (because never used such, I'm flashing with mtty program). This you must figure by yourself (or use mtty flashing method).

PS: I think kozhura will change splash screens in his next ROM version, so if you will be unable to do it yourself, then just wait

Stereo Headphone support

Like other posting here I have had issues with the Stero headset.

One of the earlier wm5 ROMs required a cab file install called _QwertY__Widcomm_Act.cab to fix the stereo headset issue. I applied this cab file to WM6 after reading an earlier post. Worked perfectly on img-49213-WM6_4700_ENG0_32_FIXED_FINAL.rar and version 0.7.0 PreRelease 1 version of WM6.

The cab file was linked in the WM5 posts.
