Thanks Sanjay for your help :)

However the micro switch, which is operated by the battery lock, is working fine and is not the problem.

I'm afraid it is as dead as a proverbial Dodo, and just as useful as a stuffed one..!!!

I have arranged to buy a new, well second hand, PDA albeit an X51v, and hopefully that will resolve the situation.

I have used both the Dell and HP and so appreciate the finer points of each unit.

The 214 was just too expensive for what I would use it for these days and as I've bought the Dell with all the std docking stuff and case etc along with...

Spare high capacity Battery 2200mAh

-Bluetooth folding keyboard (with drivers on disk)

-TomTom Navigator 6 includes UK and Europe on CF 2GB card

-VGA connector

I can include my Brodit PDA holder which includes a car charger.

. http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/holder/Dell+Axim%20X51-Brodit-Holder.asp

...for a fraction of the cost of the 214, or a second hand 4700, so it was an offer that I couldn't refuse :)

Whether the issues were related to the frequent, or the final, flashing of the PDA I'm not sure but, as I have written, they happened as I've described. Within 30 seconds of using the 1g ROM things went down hill, but that could have just been 'one of those things.' :)

I would just like to say a VERY big thanks to all those involved in cooking, creating and modifying these ROM'S, the journey was fun, albeit a little scary at times..!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
I suppose one will never know what exactly killed your 4700. I hope you give it a decent burial. The Dell is a good device, and you will gain SDHC. That's a bonus that unfortunately we never were able to achieve with the 4700. Enjoy your new/old ride! From the posts I see on XDA, it is likely to be fun as well.

Regards,

Sanjay
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vimesUK:
I agree with you there Sanjay, I am saving the 4700 for a little while to play with when I get back off holiday, or cremate it I'm not sure which :D

The X51v has now arrived and I'm using WM 6.1 and trying out a 8GB SDHC card. All seems well and so hopefully it will turn out to be a good buy :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Hobbit13:
This was sort of the case with my PDA! So I got it up and running again. The cover of the extended battery bricked the "locked" sensor. Therefore the pda assumed it was unlocked all the time.

I now have the latest paviet firmware, and most (if not all) of the quirks are gone. I'm going on a holiday in 12 hours, so just in time!!!

Thanks for all the suggestions!

syson cf plus with SiRF III, any driver for WM6?

Thought I posted this but can't find it so sorry if this is a double-post...

I have a Syson CF Plus GPS card, worked fine before I upgraded my hx4700 with WM6.

My iPAQ is working perfectly btw thanks all!

I would like to get my GPS working under this new OS...

Does anyone know of a driver and/or procedure to get this working again?

Thanks!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elparra72:
Hi Grayme,

Yes I used PDAViet v26 ROM and you are right, It's stable and fast but so customized for me. I asked to Chapito about a new Kohura version in RU:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2268816&postcount=2448

I'd like to know if Kozhura is using a newer XIP or, as Phamqunag has changed to 19591. Current Kozhura R5 uses 19949 as Phamquang used in his v25 but now Phamquang has changed to an older version, why?. It's 19949 a unastable version?.

I guest 195xx ROMs were extracted from HTC and 199xx were stracted from Sony (xperia). Maybe 195xx are more compatibles for hx4700. I don't know but if Kozhura is developming with this 19591 XIP maybe we have to discard R5 versions. If khozura is developming with new xperia 20262 XIP then he is trying to get a new R6 version with the most advanced kernel. Well, that my doubt.

Thanks Grayme!

Hello elpara72.

The link page where 4pda.ru publishes its Kozhura ROM's is:

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=81209

This page is the HP iPAQ 4700 WM6.1 (kozhura Edition), Возвращение... I came back...

If you go to HP folder you can see the rest of the work of Kozhura and others who work with the iPAQ.

A greeting.

Note: I am using an automatic translator

En español:

La pagina esta en "perfecto" ruso,asi que ya sabes...

Una pregunta, has actualizado tu hx4700 a 128 MB de memoria RAM.Si es asi ¿donde has enviado la iPAQ ,aqui en España o en el extranjero?.

Un saludo y ....."podemos" "a por ellos". Espero que cuando preguntes a Kozhura no este muy cabre...por perder contra España.

Veo que te estas metiendo en modificar las ROM,..suerte...¡¡Cuando en Español!!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elparra72:
Thanks Chapito!!

No, I didn't upgrade my iPAQ to 128 MB. I'm still using 64MB and It's enough for entire applications I use (Opera 9.5, Tomtom 7, CorePlayer1.25, QuickMenu 2.7, etc..). Using R5_1e Kozhura based ROM and 8MB pagepool I have around 32MB RAM free. I hardly ever use more than 1 o 2 applications at the same time :-) because I use my ipaq for my agenda, tasks, GPS navigation, Internet surfing from my sofa, etc. I'm trying to configure my company VPN (It's a bit complex) and I can't connect yet :-(

About mod ROMs you are right, I'd like to translate to Spanish. I'm reading a lot of documents and posts but I'm learning only ;-) I didn't found a complete cooking document yet. Vivi cook is great and maybe that is the easier way to create your own ROM. Tommy_adsl (HX 2000 series WM6.1) use the same proccess to create his ROMs and it looks not very complex but I have not found how to extract the OS XIP from an original firmware.

Regards!!!

Problem with Notes

Hi,

Do you actually find TT7 usable? I found the screen update so slow (once every few seconds), so have stuck with TT6.032.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elparra72:
Hi Grayme,

TT7 is working fine in my hx4700. I installed it on my CF 16GB - 133x card and then I did a hard reset. I put a shortcut to programs and run fast and stable. As older versions of TT, you don't need to install the application, just create the shortcut.

There is a wonderfull site in Spain for TT (and others applications), but is fully in Spanish. www.elrincondedey.es ;-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kingsti:
64MB hx4700. I am also using TT7. I find it is much slower to start, just a bit slower to refresh the map view when browsing for a location - but still quite usable. The quality of the image is much much nicer than TT6 and I like the fact you can change the car symbol. When travelling on a roundabout there is a distinct lag (as in TT6) and it takes 3-4 seconds before it recognizes I have left the roundabout.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] badgerdid:
I use tt7 too, the black edition, and find it runs great.

I want to know which is the best lite rom version to use

I only want to run tt7 on the 4700 so need a rom without any software installed, or at least one with the least amount installed to give me more ram, preformance etc.

As i mentioned its working fine as is but i dont need most of the stuff on there,

any suggestions?

Daylight savings time problem

I'm based in the UK and I've recently installed this ROM and it's really given my old 4700 a new lease of life, especially with TT7.

However, I've recently discovered that all the appointments are one hour ahead of what they should be when sync from Outlook. I've checked all my setting on Outlook and the host PC and they are all fine so I can only assume that the daylight saving times are not right for the UK on this ROM. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spud42:
have you checked the time on the PDA in start/settings/time? is there a time set for visiting and is it chosen instead of home? is the home region correct?

Clearing data, please wait... forever (hx4700)

I recently upgraded my souped-up pocketPC to CEOS_WM6.1_R5(kozhura_Edition_mod_Ramsses_v1g).nb0 from an older WM5 which was working ok. This unit was upgraded to 128 MB Ram, if my memory serves me well. I used Brighthand Bootloader and the message on the mtty11a.exe screen is exactly as described by those who have successfully changed their rom. In my case when I did a clean reset, by pressing CONTACTS + INBOX + RESET, it asked me if I wanted to clear data by pressing CALENDER, which I did. Then the message "Clearing data, please wait" shows. I left it overnight in the cradle, and it is now still there. I tried reloading and also using an older rom WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4 with the same result.

I also tried with removing the battery.

Obviously, reloading is not a problem, but how can I get this to work again? Is there anything I overlooked?

Thanks for commenting.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dpdurst:
Once you get to the clearing data part, wait for about 1-2 mins and then hit the reset button on the bottom of the PPC, then do this again CONTACTS + INBOX + RESET and the clearing data should take about 5 mins and then you should get to the screen to calibrate. I sometimes have to reset toggle between that the clearing data 1-2 times before it loads it up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dbergler:
Clearing data?

I tried all of your recommendations. I am only getting the same message if I want to clear data, or I am seeing the HP iPAQ 2.01 screen without further changes. All along, the on/off button is not responding.

It would be a duplication of effort for someone to help you personally, since instructions to do it already exist. Go get the bootloader created by Chrismrulz; it has instructions included.

Did you put the device into bootloader mode, the error you mention is one you get when your not in bootloader mode on the 4700.

Need Better Pen Input

Upgraded to 6.1 and everything is great except that I can't use Transcriber or Calligrapher. I've spent hours searching for a solution with no success, so I'm putting it up here. I've installed Transcriber 1.5, the latest I could find, but it's inconsistent and doesn't work properly. I've tried every possible way of installing Calligrapher 8.7, but it seems that it needs a good install of Transcriber in order to work. I won't go through the 20 different things I've tried to make either of these work, but trust me, I've tried!

Does anyone have a solution, or even a recommendation of another handwriting input app? This is crucial for me, I need something more than block recognizer.

power anamoly

I just installed WM6.0 on my hx4700 and love it. However, it has some strange behaviors:

1. A couple of times, I had it powered off only to discover several hours later a depleted battery and it would not turn on until put on charger. It does retain all application and data, not like WM2003SE, which would lose everything.

2. The keyboard icon at bottom center sometimes disappears at the start-unlock screen just when I was keying in my password. When I tap on the spot where it was, it came back on.

Has anyone experienced the same behavior and are there patches, or should I get WM6.1? Thanks.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dpdurst:
First off I doubt this will work in x64 Windows 7 since it does not in x64 Vista. However it works fine in x86 Vista or Win 7. You are going to need the vista drivers for the HP port that are posted on my page. when you open up bootloader it asks for the file to be selected .nbo or .nbf, once you do this it opens it up and then the TTY program opens, you just say ok in that program and don't change anything. I suspect that the x64 bit is your issue. or you haven't tried to replace the HP drivers in device manager with the ones listed on my page.

All this is covered in my instructions I wrote up on flashing the 4700, did you read them? The only thing not in the instructions is the info I just gave you on getting the correct HP port drivers for the device to work in Vista or Win7
