Have you checked to make sure that activesync (wcescomm.exe) is not running? This needs to be terminated before you start the bootloader utility.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] delftenaar:
Also make sure that your pda is in bootloader mode.

Any updates for the Exchange sync errors ? Did anyone find a work around for the newest version ? I really need this feature up and running ASAP. Please help if anyone can here. It did work fine with the WM5 upgrade.

Also, the Wi-Fi, flight mode does not work right. I use that to turn Wi-fi on and off, it always says turn flight mode off, even when Wi-fi is on or off. Clicking it does nothing.

I only use some alarms for appoitments or tasks with Pocket Informant 2007 in combination with Pocket Breeze 5.3.04.

So, I can not turn them off ... otherwise I can not hear/see the alarms ;)

Other suggestions/help are always welcome ... as you can read on this forum it's not a standalone issue.

Hi Guys, just a note to let you know that WM6 has breathed new life into my Ipaq 4700. I had upgraded it previously to WM5, but had constant lockups and hangs,....it was much slower than 2003se, so I flashed it back....then lost all my data when the battery died....which was a HUGE pain, and one of the reasons that I had originally upgraded to WM5. So back I flashed to WM5 again...but still hangups, system locks, and generaly too slow to be useful...so the 4700 sat on my dresser for 6 months....until I saw the upgrade.

I installed it and WOW.....works fantastic....wifi worked right away.....the 4700 is incredible now.

Happy Camper!!!:D

V4 with 8MB PagePool / no hangups

Hello,

Just to let you know that I've been working with rel.4 tweaked to 8Mb Pagepool for some 2-3 days and I'd say switching to it was worth the try. The change in performace is maybe not that significant but the device gets more responsive and I haven't experienced any Standby's of death so far (btw. I applied ActiveSync tweak as instructed few posts back).

Previously I was experiencing lockups say once a day in avarage.

The link to tweak the firmware to 8Mb PP is here.

...and of course THANKS KOZHURA !!!

Damn, I want one! Now is the perfect time, too, because my original battery seems to be on its last legs... unit dies when the battery gets to 25% charge (and right now that only takes about two hours, whether because of that or this ROM).

hi

is there a way to save my rom with all my progs and registry

clean installed. (save it to nbf file)

so as i flash my hx4700 with all the prog are in the pocket

and well configured ???

so i can make differents rom with different pagepool value :)

without reinstaling all softwares ??? (there is an "s" to software ?? -> i'm french)

thanks for your help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] naboo:
I'd recommend backup-ing entire configuration using e.g. Sprite Backup. Then U can restore it on any pagepool you want.

Forget about putting software to firmware. It's a wrong way of doing what you want to do.

I would be wary of applying a backup after flashing. I know some people have experienced problems after restoring from backup. If you do it and things are not working well I would try hard reset and clean app installs.

Troubles with WM6 install

Hello to everybody

I'm new to this forun, so please forgive my intrusion.

I'm having the same problem as reported in Quote, plus no install working when following kozhura procedures in RAR pack :

1) by USB, once sent "lnb OS_WM6.nb0" on the mtty11a.exe, I just get a "USB>" prompt and nothing else happens

2) by SD, I do get an "OS.raw" file on hard disk, meaning that "Create_SD_ROM.bat" works, but "Write_SD_ROM_to_SD.bat" does not copy anything to SD Card (though deleting os.raw from hard disk)

Anybody has a clue of what happens ??

Cheers to all

WM6 install

:cool:

Following former post, I got it installed through Bootloader, but extracting manually the .nb0 file from the .rar before running Bootloader.exe

Now going through a few discovery days, but so far looks great'n fast.

Many thanks to Kozhura for this neat job :)

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
It's not at all necessary to manually extract the .NB0 file from a RAR or ZIP file. Bootloader.exe has its own integral decompression routines. It works just fine passing it the name of a RAR or ZIP file as a source file; it will open the file and find the NBF or NB0 file and extract it automatically. I have done it this way repeatedly, as have others with complete success.

upgrade from WM 5

Is it possible to upgrade my hx4700 (WM5 bought from hp) to "Windows Mobile 6 .0.7.0 Release 4" directly? I tried the "flash from SD" steps mentioned in the readme.txt, but when my 4700 was in bootloader state, nothing happened. I tried to push the power button but no difference. Waited about 15 minutes. After a reset the pda started with WM5 again? Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
I don't know what you intend by "directly", but bootloader.exe is another option. It works directly with the RAR file that Kozhura provided, uses a TTY session with the PPC in bootloader mode to install a ROM from the PC.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] huysmki:
What I mean with directly is, do I need to install another version first. I saw that the rom-image in the 3th version is twice as big than in the 4th. Must I install version 3 first?

Thanks for the answer.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cagnaluia:
bad experience!!

I purchased a HX4700 with wm5 onboard...

but...

1. WM5 , official HP releases is very bad ROM... very bad S.O... foots-make by HP....

2. WM6 kozhura... pretty ROM / pretty S.O... but.. no stable.. too crashes..

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chemong:
Personally I would install the Fix 3 version. I had some problems with fix 4 and reverted. Fix 3 is easiest installed using the Chris's Bootloader.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chemong:
Don't know if this will help, but with my hx4700 if I load software onto the SD card and leave it in the unit all the time or if I just leave an empty SD card in my hx4700 the battery drains very fast. This happened starting with the official HP wm5 and through to the latest Kozhura fix4. What works for me is I have a large CF card with all my applications and data in the unit all the time and only insert an SD card when I need to transfer or load a cab file. This gives me stellar battery performance.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Casual User:
I haven't had crashes with any of the WM6 roms, but I will admit that the WM5 AKU 3.5.2 rom runs more efficiently. The WM5 rom appears to use less memory than any of the WM6 roms, and it does file compaction less than WM6. I find myself pressing the soft reset button more often under WM6 than WM5 just to get back some more memory - memory that even SKTools won't return. The problem is that development for the WM5 AKU 3.5.2 rom appears to have been halted in favor of WM6. Here is the link to the original AKU 3.5.2 rom thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311140

and this is a working link to the last version of the WM5 AKU 3.5.2 rom:

http://rapidshare.com/files/53815973/img-47840-WWE_AKU3_52_4700_150807.rar.html

If you don't want to use WM6 because you feel it is less stable then I would fall back to this version of WM5 rather than fall back to 2003SE. There is still file compaction - you just won't notice it as much.

If you decide to try WM5 AKU 3.5.2 then make sure you read the first post in that thread to download the HP RUU installer, or you can use the bootloader tool by chrismrulz (the best way to load the WM5 roms).

how can i control that ther is really 8Mo pagepool

in my flashed ppc :):):confused:

thanks a lot
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Casual User:
You want visual confirmation that you indeed have a 8 MB pagepool?

Go to the first page of this post. You will notice some screenshots that kozhura put up. The first picture shows the About applet from Settings>System>About and it shows the memory as 57.84 MB. If you used a rom with a 8 MB pagepool instead of the 4.5 MB pagepool then you should notice that the memory is 3.5 MB less than 57.84 MB (something like 54.34 MB).

Wow, great support, many thanks for this help. Now it works all fine.

Just as confirmation for all others - yes this registry patch works fine. I patched it with Resco registry add in of Resco Explorer. So now all my software works fine with this latest WM6 as for example: TomTom Navigator 6, Avantgo, Mobipocket, Slovoed (several), GPS Tuner, WiFi internet, Opera 8.65, Resco Picture viewer, Math Tablet, Spacetime, Spb GPRS Monitor , Smenue Plus, Coreplayer, Pocketmusic, ...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bobgreen:
I'm sorry for that news.....:(

Does it mean that your 4700's bootloader is not working?

I've tried the release4 and the old fix3 edition.

But both cause a problem, sometime when I reboot my 4700, it stops at the boot screen. What I can do is to plug out my battery and plug in it again.

I edited the rom's page pool to 0MB. Maybe that's because of the PP?

My 4700's ram is 64MB. I know another friend's 4700's ram is 128MB and he use fix3 rom with 0MB PP is OK.

I've searched about this problem and find out this is not only one case.

Many users who use wm6 rom may have this problem.

I don't know what causes the problem and whether it can be solved?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kozhura:
Well i don`t know what can i do,tomorrow i`ll go to the Service Centre and try to recover 4700 using other battery:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
So you're saying that having any SD card inserted in an hx4700 will drain the battery at a faster rate? Given that SD is Flash that isn't supposed to require power to sustain, why on earth would that be true? Is this just your observation or are there wider reports to verify it?

Having a correct answer is very important, because my battery drain has skyrocketed and I need to know whether the culprit is this WM6 ROM or the new Transcend 150X 4GB SD card I just bought. I had intended to stop using my slow old Hitachi 4GB CF microdrive (and leave the CF slot free for add-on devices), but if this SD card is a power-sucker then it's getting returned!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
No, this is not an "upgrade" ROM... none of them are! The reason for the change in size is because the rev. 4 ROM uses an .nb0 file, which I gather is a more compact format; in terms of what actually gets burned it's probably larger. You can burn any ROM over any other directly, though I've heard a claim from one guy that if a new ROM is smaller than the previous one that "stuff" might be left behind; I still think that's silly, but his claimed solution was to clean/hard-reset the device both after AND BEFORE burning a new ROM, allegedly to clean it out so that there's nothing to leave behind. It's a trivial step, so it can't hurt to be a little superstitious, I guess. Toss a pinch of salt over your shoulder while you're at it. :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
What happened? Was it a bad ROM burn? Isn't the bootloader code separate, so you can just burn again? Is it possible you've "worn out" the internal flash, exceeded its write MTBF, or did something else entirely happen, like a failed backup battery?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JEV66:
The MTBF for that battery is something of 1.000.000 hours. (Exagerated:p )

I think he tried to flash with an empty battery. HAlfway the flash battery death. Flash upset,:eek: Hx4700 DEATH
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
Actually, I was talking about the MTBF of the flash ROM itself, not the battery; the flash ROM has an indeterminate limit how many times the cells can be re-written. The MSDN blog guessed it might 1,000,000 writes and many years of "normal" service, but for we power users that day might come much sooner. I hope it really is just a dead battery and not that he fatigued his flash ROM.

Having the battery fail during a ROM burn doesn't really kill the unit, does it? Isn't the bootloader code unaffected by the ROM burn, or is it actually part of it? Isn't it as simple as popping in a new battery and re-burning? (Sorry I'm using the old EPROM lingo, I just can't help it.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
Kozhura, I would gladly send you a 4700 if I had a spare but I only have one. I do have a spare battery though. If you need it I would be happy to send it. You can send me a message if you would like it.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
Actually, there was a guy who popped up in the pocketpcthoughts.com discussion of kozhura's ROMs (actually I think it was a review of them), and he claimed to have an hx4700 gathering dust in a drawer! :eek:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MeanSquare:
Backup battery may not be really dead

I had the same thing happen to me when I switched from my 64MB hx4700 to my 128MB hx4700, but I'm pretty sure it had to do with my restoring a backup from the first to the second after doing the ROM update. I actually bought a new backup battery from PPC Techs, put it in, and was fuming when it too read 0%. I finally did a hard-reset (clearing all) and all of a sudden, my backup batter started charging. (Weird). The end of the story is that I ditched the backup and installed my software from scratch. The unit is working fine and my backup battery is at 100%.

I don't know why restoring a backup from one WM6 hx4700 to another that had just been flashed to WM6 would do that, but it seems to be the case. I can only hope that your situation is similar. It's a time-consuming fix, but at least it can be fixed.
