[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cariba:
Thanks.

I got it back in the bootloader instantly by doing this:

Press the Contacts + Mail + iTASK buttons at the same time and hold all of them. Then shortly press the Reset button on the bottom and release all of them. The screen with HP logo in the middle will appear having the bootloader version at the bottom and the text “Serial” on the top.

Now updating to WM6 Rev 4, hope it'll be alive again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
That button sequence is misleading, superstitious, and just plain stupid. That sequence SERVES NO SPECIFIC FUNCTION on the iPAQ. There is no point nor benefit to MIXING TWO SEPARATE SEQUENCES. The only reason it worked is because the iPAQ ignored the Inbox button and responded to iTask + Contacts + Reset, which just happens to be the sequence for initiating the bootloader. Gee, what a coincidence, huh?

Stop misleading people like that! :mad:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
You're an uncaring or self-centered idiot, if you can't see the effect that incorrect instructions in this thread would have on someone reading it, someone who doesn't already know the answer and/or can't sort out the correct one from all the competing stupidity like that. There's been plenty enough of that already in this thread. How about you - and Cariba - stop for a second before you open your mouth and think about the Big Picture?

And no, I don't care about your "feelings". You internal ego and emotional state is your business, not mine to worry about. I care about correct information FOR EVERYONE. I called you an idiot, but everything else above is constructive criticism.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chemong:
Just a question, have you Flashed the WM6.1 and dealt with the resulting non-responsive seemingly dead HX4700? If you have, you will understand that the normal reset button options don't seem to work. While the three button push, does not seem to be documented, it seemed to work for Cariba, so after pressing buttons for 1-1/2 hours, removing battery for 30 minutes, the seemingly random button press recommended by Cariba seemed to work for me. Maybe it's just foolish, but it's worth discussing in a civil constructive way..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
"blah blah blah" is not civil. It's not even defending Cariba's "feelings". What it says is, "Hey, *I* don't need to waste my time reading this crap, it doesn't help me." In other words, it's a selfish expression.

Had you been keeping up, you would have already read my prior post describing my own experience with 6.1. I did not need any heretofore-unknown secret mystical button sequence, because the KNOWN one works just fine, with a little patience. That is exactly what at least one other person has also said before me. I guess you weren't listening then, either.

I have another constructive suggestion, this one for Kozhura himself: can you PLEASE summarize the useful and correct information from this 210-page thread in your first post, and save the newbies having to pick through all the misinformation? There's still people using Release 3, for chrissakes, precisely because they skimmed and read a few people complaining about Release 4 and thought that meant something. Huge threads like this do a huge disservice when inexperienced uncritical people can't figure out which advice to follow. There needs to be some oversight. I think someone else made the same comment way back when. I was certainly thinking it, but the solution - updating the first post - didn't occur to me until just now. Who better to know what's good and bad advice than the guy who assembled the ROMs? Yeah, I know it's more work, but that's the price of being important and famous. :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grayhawk:
Mine turned into a temporary brick also, back to R4.

It was about an hour of itask-contacts-reset every few minutes to get it into boot mode.

But in made, installing 50+ apps. Again.

:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MannyMania:
I've read and said what the hell... I decided to try the 6.1 anyway. Just finished the update and as always it takes 2 mem flushes and away you go. (At least on my 4700) I'v always had to do 2 flushes because it always seems to freeze on the first one. With this 6.1 when I tried to do the 2 flush it went dead....uh oh!!! So I removed the battery for about 10secs and did a flush right away...Tada!! It's Alive!! and 6.1 is working fine. I'm now gonna start loading all the apps and see how it runs!!

Later..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MannyMania:
Still installing apps...

The new 6.1 is nice and ZIPPY. Now somthing i should mention is that i'm using the PDAVIET rom. I couldn't get my hands on kozhura's rom and just couldn't wait for it to become available. Maybe there is a difference which is what spared me a bricking??? It's there if anyone wants to try it.

Later.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
I think if I wanted to try PDAVIET's ROM, I'd be posting in a thread having to do with it. Thank god I didn't act immediately on the urge that your first post created; thankfully I waited, and saw your confession before I wasted more time trying to reflash a broken ROM that wasn't the one you used. It's nice you thought to mention that small detail, an hour after the fact, but it should have been right up front in the first post. I nearly wasted a half hour because of it.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
Wapser, are you sure you're using the right buttons? There are some people who clearly have not been. Just keep pressing iTask + Contacts + Reset every ten minutes or so, and it will most likely respond eventually. That is the experience of at least three of us. You can mess with the battery in between, but it might not be necessary.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zoli2006:
And the battery has to be close, as I read earlier in this thread.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Wapser:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cariba:
I've tried the other combinations and they didn't work, this worked for me instantly! I'm not trying to mislead anyone, I'm just trying to help other ppl getting their device back, and then I get flamed for it. Wow. You're a nice guy.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MannyMania:
Hey Smart Guy...

Sorry for the inconvenience that I may have caused you. I'm just in this for the fun of sticking it to HP so take a pill.

Anyone who wants to try WM6.1 now can use the pdaviet version until our best freind kozhura gives us somthing new to try out.

It's all a game boyz so lets keep it clean.

Happy Testing!!

What to do after lnb OS_WM6.nb0 ?

Hi everyone,

I'm following the cradle method and have got as far as typing in lnb OS_WM6.nb0 but what should I be seeing on the IPAQ screen? It just sits there with USB atthe top, HP logo in the middle and v1.01 at the bottom.

I can see the command I typed on my laptop is doing something (unpacking?) but once it's finished unpacking is says "Done" and a couple of lines under that it says "Code entry point unknown"

Then I'm just left with the USB> prompt?

Please someone tell me what I'm supposed to see. :confused:

Many thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
That's right and good. You just need to do a hard reset (as indicated in the manual or earlier here). It'll may ask for you to press calender to clear data so after you do that wait a sort while then use stylus to soft reset then soft reset again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bluntknife:
Stuck?

I've hard reset it and performed countless soft resets and it just waits at the first screen. The one that says it's version 2.01 in the bottom right corner.

I've not been asked to hold down the calendar button. Is there any way of manually envoking this?

Cheers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
When you do the hard reset you should not be able to turn on the ipaq without either doing soft reset or connect to power supply. Try, after hard reset, to turn on with normal on/off button, if it doesn't turn on that is good, but then remove or at least unlock the battery switch/lock, wait a minute, then put back to normal and connect to power supply and/or use stylus to soft reset.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bluntknife:
Sorry but none of this is working for me. I'm stuck at the first boot screen. It says my firmware version is 2.01. Do I need to upgrade this with a different ROM before attempting the WM6 upgrade talked about in this thread?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] merten3000:
trying it now...

Just to see what 6.1 has to offer I'm flashing the pdaviet version while I'm typing this. If it's good I'll wait for a working kozhura's edition. Otherwise back to his rev4 for me.

Great work Kozhura!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bluntknife:
I agree. This note in the readme file would have saved me a few hours.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
Mmmmm! I assume we are not talking about WM6.1.... only WM6 version 3 or 4. Go back to either your original ROM from HP web side (2003) or an earlier ROM to get back to normal. I am waiting for 6.1 to be reposted.

Sorry!:( :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bluntknife:
Ah yes sorry I should have said. It's v6.0 R4 I'm talking about.

How long should a Clean Reset take? I've had the please wait... message on screen for about an hour now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
That's well plenty time. I've waited only about 5 minutes before. So I recall you reset to get rid of the message then reset again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] grayme:
Whilst I don't personally agree with Vulcan Tourist's methods, I do have to agree that your initial post was misleading; on a thread entitled '(kozhura Edition)' when no-one has flashed without creating a brick, your first post indicated a working version.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
I'm quite accustomed to people disagreeing with my "methods", but usually I expect them to then also refuse to even consider the reason behind the method. Thanks for listening to the reason, Graham. I know I'm intolerant and perfectionist, but the targets of my ire need not feel so special because they haven't heard me berate myself when I'm careless or stupid. It ain't arrogance. It's high expectations. I've actually gone pretty easy on everyone... I've said nothing about spelling and grammar. :p

I have Release 4 reinstalled, and I belatedly bought a "premium" copy of Sprite Backup. Wish I'd done that before disaster struck day before yesterday. NOT looking forward to having to reinstall and recustomize everything, dozens of apps big and small. I'm not interested in trying the PDAVIET ROM, but I'd like to give Kozhura's next one a shot if I don't get too dependent on Release 4 again. Sprite Backup should I hope make that an easy choice?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
Did you try or consider SPB Backup? I found it better than the Sprite version I had previously because with the Sprite I had, you still had to install Sprite before you could run your backup copy. With SPB Back up your backup is saved as an executable (backup-date.exe) file which you just explore to and run. You can of course rename it, like for example Backup-7-2-2008-4700WM6v4 etcetc. I got my SPB Backup using my ipaqchoice points aquired when I bought the ipaqs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chemong:
Sprite backup also has an option for storing an exe version and the option to store a copy of Sprite backup on the removable media as well. I just click on the backup exe file in the explorer window and it runs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LimboMan:
I've been using Sprite Backup myself, mostly because I was accustomed with it from the WM2003se release on our hx4700s. Thus far, with each successive re-flash of ROMs from WM5 to WM6 rev3...4... I did clean installs in the fear that something might not work right if I were to use a backup file.

Can somebody confirm for me that if I were to re-flash to any other version, up or down (I'm on rev4 currently) that I can use my backup files without problems?

Many thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
I cannot confirm either way. But it is wiser, if you have installed a new or different ROM to re-install all components & applications seperately as if new and do successive back-up's after loading each just to speed things up if there is a problem. Then after some time 'testing' you can delete the older obsolete backup's after making a full 'good one'.

Just my personal thoughts....

Hi ! (First post ever in this forum)

I just found this great rom and flashed it, i must say it works like a charm ! (from all of the bugs i only have the wireless one that you have to activate it twice before it works, but no problem)

Since i found some ppl wanting to know how speedy it could be i recorded a bit of the pda itself working with this great rom (i'm dying to try new wm6.1)

Greetings from Mexico !

Standard HX4700 with 64MB RAM (28.93MB free)

Running atached to the cradle (works the same with the battery anyway)

Rom is WM6_4700_RELEASE4

Using 1GB SD Card

The Koda Kumi Video is encoded at 950kbps divx (two pass) using Media Coder @ 360x240 and 128kbps mp3 audio (44khz, stereo)

BTW i'm using magicbutton (closes the programs when clicking the "X" instead of minimizing them) that's why it pauses a bit coz it closes the programs

Video (sorry no sound ^^)

Lol i just found out that the aspect ratio is ****3d up (my first time uploading to youtube also, ill try to correct it later ^^)

Hope Kozhura wil come soon with a good version of 6.1.

Is there a unified guide how to flash the HX4700 under VIsta?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
It would depend upon exactly how much you back up, how files and data are structured in the filesystem and how much you might have customised some of that. I tend to wind up trying to move things around a lot (by tweaking the Registry, etc.), so I might have to stop that practice if I want to get full benefit of Sprite with respect to flashing and reverting back and forth. I have Spb Backup, too, but it doesn't have the option of backing up to a remote system AFAIK. I intend to "set it and forget it" to back up while it's cradled. I trust my RAID 5 array a lot more than any flash card.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
I would suggest a random combination of the things that various people have said allowed them to get it back in bootloader mode: clean/hard reset button sequence, popping the battery for a while, letting the backup battery drain, and of course the bootloader button sequence. There's no reason to be superstitious about it and start trying fictitious sequences that don't do anything or offering up sacrifices of family pets to the tech gods. :p
