[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
Ditto for me re: battery drain. Haven't narrowed down the cause yet, but the suggested Registry tweaks were not (the cause).

I'm experiencing other apparently one of a kind bizarre problems, not necessarily tied to the ROM. The other worst one is the inability to connect or sync via USB/cradle, usually after cradling and uncradling it several times, and similar problems now with ALL my external USB devices. My suspicion is that installing ActiveSync 4.5 - and that lengthy phase where it claimed to be "updating USB drivers" - is the cause of it, but what can I do? 4.5 is required for WM6 now, so I can't even prove the theory unless I want to abandon this ROM and revert to WM5 or the original.

With all the horrendous problems we have integrating even this "simple" software we have now, an IT prophet would have to be an idiot to predict a humanoid AI any time soon... it will require millions of years of beta testing and bug fixes and service packs, just like the real thing!

Currenty Have the A/S problem,bought ppcmag BofE cd. Installed Active print and Memorey Map Navigator (have not put codes in yet) this problem just started. I suspect its the way one of these programs store data, had this problem with another program(Never could run it)I will try codes first(I do not have this problem with my older unit, just synced)I think you will find this in one of your programs, or changes you have made recently

My A/S problem and fix, Active sync Print sever was running on my PC (did not show up in Task Manager) I restarted my PC(ending the Active Print server) now my device syncs ok.I suspect when I have the code (and activate) this will stop, tryed twice and locked up my device twice,so much for this demo (will wait for code, before trying again)Hope this helps

http://hri.sourceforge.net/tools/jtag_faq_org.html#_Toc63218708

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JTAG

That should cover it. :D

The answer to your second question would be a big conditional MAYBE, depending upon whether the JTAG process yields him a responsive hx4700 or not. Clearly the failure went far beyond what mere fresh batteries could fix, unfortunately.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lyger:
we have two battery issues, when using wifi or BT with the reg changes to 'DisablePowerManagement' your battery will last longer during use.

When you power off your ipaq you will notice either BT or wifi will come on (LED) by itself. Try turning on BT with a active connection then power off your ipaq and after a while the LED will come on and this drains the battery. Make sure you turn off BT & wifi before you power off you ipaq.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lyger:
Pagepool

Having a 00 pagepool will help with filesys compaction because when filesys (compaction) is running the NOR ROM is very busy and you click and request code that's not available in the pagepool and therefore has to read data off the very busy ROM, hence a dely. If you have a 00 pagepool there is no limit to the amount of code stored in the pagepool and with more code and data in RAM (pagepool) there is less need to read from a busy ROM with filesys, this makes all the difference. People with the RAM upgrade I would recommend a 00 pagepool and the use of a RAM disk for IE cache etc. people with standard 64MB RAM devices it will depend on how you use your ipaq, I have a 00 pagepool and a 2MB ramdisk for temp files.

I hope this makes sense..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HappyMM:
PP=0 is not safe

If you have only 64M RAM and set the pp=0, you will turn off the limitation of PP. If you run mediaplayer, there is a chance to eat all your ram and make your system hang up.

But for 128M RAM, PP=0 is OK indeed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bobgreen:
I've used 0MB PP rom for weeks. Usually listen to musics or watch movies.

What you said has never happened on my 4700....:)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ben068:
I'm using WM6 fix 3 on mine and i experienced a problem with active sync 4.5 as well, wouldn't connect to my laptop. I unchecked the 'enable advanced network functionality' on the USB to PC option setting and worked ok after that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
I haven't seen that behavior at any point yet (I'm observant of such things), so I doubt that is my specific problem. Having some other troubles right now with the SD card and how I wanted to use it, so battery sleuthing has been postponed for a bit. Gotta reformat the card and reinstall some stuff, I think I'll do it more methodically this time and watch the battery.

ben068, are you talking about the Connection Settings option "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"? I did have that enabled, so I've disabled it. Nothing has changed yet, but I assume it might require a restart and I'm not able to do that just yet. Will be interesting to see if it's that simple.

how to change paging pool to 0!

OHHH that is so easy... just open file with utraedit and then find and change.

I will backup with sprite first and then im ready to the change!

SDHC to CF Adapter

Hi every one.

Thanks to Kozhura for give to ours hx470x a new life :D . Hopefully you will revive your iPAQs. No one better than you to do that ;)

For those interested to use a SDHC Card in the hx4700, This is a SDHC to CFII Adapter developed by a German Company called JOBO.

Link -> JOBO

Also in ebay:

eBay1

eBay2

According what I have read, the adapter does the job to read the SDHC, so it is possible to use them in the hx4700 without any problem. I haven't tested it, but maybe it is worth of it.

Regards

sers! i did not find any other way to import my certificate. just download wm5 (here from kozhura, too), install it and export it there.

you can install sprite backup and backup your wm6 complete. download and flash wm5, install and export your cert and reinstall wm6. sprite does the rest.

Step 5: Lastly, perform a clean reset by pressing CONTACTS + INBOX + RESET. When asked to confirm the clean reset press CALENDER.* NOTE: You may need to soft reset before or after doing this. This step is required by all bootloaders. (Solnyshok’s mod etc.) Don't skip it or it will not boot up.*

To install ROOT certificat from provider (FREE), i have used a Virtual PDA with WM6 provite by M$ SDK. After a correct installation of the ROOT certificat, you need to export the regitry of certificat [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates]

And now you just need to import the .reg in your hx4700.

Inject the private certificat only in your hx4700 and after the reg importation

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stefrance_fr:
oupsss

The problem isn't the private certificate but for the ROOT certificate. And I don't see the solution. :(:(:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andieh:
i told you the solution before. i did it the same way. it took me about an hour, but i think, this is acceptable:

1) download Sprite Backup Trial, install it and make a full backup of your wm6 device.

2) download WM5 Image from Kozhura, flash your ipaq.

3) download Resco Explorer Trial with Resco Registry Plugin. Install it, install your certifcate also (with the "making cab file" howto), and export the regkey. save it on a sdcard or whatever.

4) reflash wm6 again, play back your sprite backup and click on the registryfile exported before. turn off your device, wait about 1-2 minutes and make a softreset. now you're done.

dont ask again here. otherwise i have to translate this text in french. and my french is much more terrible than my "ohhh bad" english.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hx4700 Killer:
Good Luck Khozura, let us know if there is anything we can do to help?

I am going to go get virtual PDA from MS and check it out. That is a neater solution than installing WM5 back on to the PPC to get certs set up.

Those inquiring about certificates, ROOT certs do not install in this ROM for some reason. It is a bug in THIS ROM only. Thanks, please return to your regularly scheduled day.
