Just want to tell u my experience.

I'm using windows xp pro. the provieded flashrom tool didnot work for me either.

I use the update program from hp - sp29841.exe

run the program which will unzip itself to a folder in C:\ipaq

rename the downloaded wm6 update file to hx4700_11008_ENG_RC_AKU26.nbf

then paste in the above folder to replace the old one

it works flawlessly. i've already flashed my 4700 twice.

hope this can help u.

cheers

Have you tried to use the universal Bootloader tool as noted here...

I am using the graphical version noted in that first post. I would assume that if you follow that first post, and use XP if possible, then success should be yours, hopefully :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vimesUK:
I have noted that you have posted the screen grab from Vista but what, if any, error message do you get when using XP...?

I assume that you have an otherwise good working connection via active sync 4.5 between the cradle and XP when the 4700 is plugged in....?

Not that active sync is needed but at least it suggests by working that everything else is ok...?

You could have a look also at what you have running on the PC at the time that you are trying to upgrade the PDA. Try and ensure that all unnecessary applications and AV's etc are not running.

Hi,

is there a way to boot the machine WITHOUT the plugins beeing loaded ?? (so to remove some plugins that cause problems) ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
This is curious indeed because Chris's bootloader has worked flawlessly for me for many WM5 and WM6 loads. This may be a long-shot, but something worth checking.

1. Make sure your USB connection is direct to the computer and does not go through a hub. It must be direct, or you will have trouble. I did.

2. Are you sure the bootloader folder is on the root of your drive, WITHOUT any spaces in the name? This also caused me trouble before.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

SlovoED Deluxe English explanatory Dictionary Pronunciation Mark problem

SlovoED installed on WM5 had no any problem. But with this new WM6 rom,

after the installation of SlovoED Dictionary, the pronounciation mark display correctly. But after soft reset, the pronounciation mark display incorrectly.

Did any one experience the flaw?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kazuni:
need some quick help here.

a completely dead 4700, by what i mean dead, is that it cannot boot into bootloader mode. no CE logo, and i made sure

1.) battery is fully charged.

2.) switch is locking the battery door.

3.) i have another battery to test.

4.) the screen just doesn't turn on, nor the charging light when plugged into the docking station/battery charging adapter.

any way to resurrect it?

Massive Kudos!

Thanks so much for making this rom available. I was really getting quite jack of how slow my iPAQ was with WM5 and was looking forward to the release of the new iPAQ 211. Now I think I'll hang off a little on the new iPAQ as have just got an extended battery, 4gb CF card AND WM6. Life is good once more.

Once again thanks!

Certificate revisited

Hi,

Are there any plans to fix the certificate error?

What I’ve done so far:

Tried the https://server with PIE and Netfront. While Netfront gives you more options with certificates it still doesn’t work.

Downloaded the certificate form the exchange server by exporting it with IIS. That certificate is imported but is installed as a personal instead of a root certificate.

Downloaded the certificate with http://server/certserv. Then I get the same error as before.

So I’m pretty sure that it’s some error in this WM6 version.

I really like everything else but I also really need the certificate to work.

Thank you Kozhura for making it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alanwr:
I had a similar issue and mine was caused by putting the IPAQ into ROM loading mode, but not putting it on the cradle fast enough! When it doesn't go on fast enough, the PC shows the error 'USB device not detected...' I reckon you get about 2 seconds of grace between putting int ROM boot mode and this error event occuring.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pilsor:
Try this: remove your battery for at least 30 minutes.

Then attach your battery again to your HX4700.

Soft reset ... :rolleyes:

Hope this works :)

SDHC

How goes the effort to make SDHC work on the HX4700? From previous posts it had been successfully implemented on other hardware with those revised 2006 roms, but some snags were encountered with the hx470x devices. (the upcoming iPaq 200 series is just not looking like that great of an upgrade with the MicroSD, so SDHC is a choice option to hope for) If anyone is busy attacking this puzzle still, a quick "hey I'm busy working on it" would be appreciated.

SDHC to CF Card adapters

Just wondering (while we all wait for kozhura success in adding SDHC support for this ROM) does anyone have any experience with the SDHC to CF card adapters. It is available at http://www.sd-to-cf.com/ and also on eBay.

CF capacity is already 16GB while the largest SDHC is only 8GB. So seems to me that one could simply get a 16GB CF card and a 4GB non-HC SD card for a total of 20G!! Alternatively, use the adapter for SDHC within the CF slot.

Wondering if that isn't just good enough for now. Wow 20GB - that's a lot of Beethoven!

Excellent job Kozhura

Hi all, has anyone else experienced a failure of the hx4700 to start up after turning it off? I find that occassionally when I turn it off after using it, it fails to come on again when I want it to ... any suggestions? The only way around this is to do a soft reset which takes up a whole bunch of time before it is able to work. Using kozhura_release_1. Will upgrade to rel_2 today but I expect the problem will still exist. TIA.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HX4700-Boldie:
Reboot, wake up etc.

Also I am using the latest release 2 of Kozhura and experience the following things, which are much worse then the release 1 or the Mobile 5 version of Kozhura.

A lot of spontanius reboots just while working with the device.

Very often not willing to switch on, after using the device. Especially while using WIFI and then switching off.

The WPA-PSK is working perfectly by the way, besides the WIFI switching on and off and on again, when activating WIFI.

The certificate issue everyone is having, I solved by exporting the certificate from the server in PFX format. There is a tool PFXimport which puts this one at least as a Root certificate.

After that action I could use Outlook as wanted.

By the Way...my normal .cer file could be imported with no problem on my new HTC Touch.

when your device locked up, do you still see the bootloader screen? (where it has the HP logo, it will say also USB or Serial). I dont even have that screen- which means, the unit isn't detected by windows, thus i can't upgrade at all.

I'd that problem my first attempt to flash kozhura's rom, I thought my 4700 gone forever, then I try many way try to bring up my 4700, here is my method,

1. removed the battery.

2. wait for a couple minutes and reinstall the battery, lock it well.

3. press the soft rest buttom.

4. it should had something show on your screen, no matter what showed. just proceed the serial mode process. (contact+itask+softrest)

5. it should go into the usb mode.

For those who use universal Bootload program that hanged. try HP4700_bootloader.exe , this is the only rom flashing program that works for me.

and for those who flashing rom got error message in the middle of mtty prosess, such as the follow :

DON'T worry, you mostly got the rom flash right, don't be fooled by the messege, in my case , I do as follow:

1. close the bootloader program, take up your 4700,

2. clean reset (by pressing Contact+mailbox+softreset)

3. you should see messege asking wether you want to clear data of you 4700. just press the calender.

4. you should see the clearing data messege.

5. wait for a couple minute.

6. softrest your 4700

7. if didn't get the OS loaded, (wait at lease 1~2 minutes), softrest the second time.

8. mostly you'll get the OS loaded when you do softrest the second time. othewise, do more softrest and wait, just remenber proceed just one softrest and wait for 4700 to load OS. DON'T press softrest too many times in a short period. i

it should work for most of you who got stuck in the HANGED bootloader program or thinking that you got your 4700 outoforder while flashing rom.

Try press (contact+itask) , then press softrest, then release the softreset, finally release the (contact+itask), don't release (contact+itask) before you press and released the softreset buttom. if don't work, removed the battery for a while and try again.
