Please forgive me, as I am very new to this discussion. However, I must say many thanks for the information and time spent thus far.

I recently flashed my hx4700 with the latest ROM and am having no luck getting it to sync with my PC using Activesync 4.5.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
Can you be clear about what ROM when you say latest ROM. people are now talking about the other ROM from another site (Pdavant or something like that) yet this is Kozhura thread where the latest ROM 6.1 has been pulled for redevelopment on the 6 Feb, as it turns your 4700 into a paperweight. So the last working ROM is WM6v4. I suspect you might be talking about the WM6.1 from the other site what people are talking about here. There will be confusion between the 2 ROM's as this goes on. Maybe a new thread should be started for the other or for a hybrid site? :)

Curious that it seems to work for some and others have this problem. It has been problem free for me. I used BootloaderGUI to load it, hard reset twice then reset once to start it.

Tonight I will try to change the default keyboard and if I am successful, will share the new version. You can try that. If it doesn't work, I suppose it would be best to wait for Kozhura's change.

A question however, if you tried the version without the splash change, did it have the same problem with buttons?

Regards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
I agree GSX600FMAN. That makes a lot of sense. If I am able to change the keyboard on this PDAVIET 6.1 variation, I will post a link in a new thread.

Hi all,

I need help: no link to download the 6.1 ROM for HX4700.

Any idea?

Many Thanks

Success at last!! With the grateful assistance from member algasystems, I was able to replace the default keyboard in the wonderful PDAVIET wm6.1 rom with the standard keyboard from 6.0. Thank you algasystems.

I have started a new thread at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1949979#post1949979 for this variation. I will keep this until Kozhura releases his next version, but this is as Kozhura-like as I know how to make it. The changes are:

1. All pre-installed apps removed

2. Boot splash replaced with the standard one from WM6

3. Restored the correct keyboard

In the new thread, I have attached images that show the new (old good one) keyboard, the version screen, and storage right after installation.

The PDAVIET ROM has 8MB pagepool. And yes, clearly the hardware buttons work for me. Bluetooth pairs to my laptop and syncs.

Please feel free to use this and improve it. I hope this works for you.:)

Regards.

Thankyou Sanjay & Dpudurst for the new thead. I will be reading both. a question for these that had or have the hardware buttons not working, how do you get back into bootloader mode? Or is it just that pressing teh button does nnot launch the expected application. What happens if you do the 'selftest' (system) when you get to press the buttons? ::confused:

I had the same problem with installing a certificate to allow me to connect to an exchange server.

I'm using the Koz 6.0 rev 4.

Here is the solution that worked for me:

Preface: This is not a how to on how to install a certificate properly... this is a back way.

We use WPA with self signed certs at work. I was not able to log in to our wireless network last week. Over the weekend I did some digging and reading here, particulary from one person who was able to backup from older WM and restore to this ROM.

1. First I restored my WM5 ROM and imported the Certs I needed and installed Resco Explorer/Reg Add-In (you can use the demo if you dont want to buy).

2. Look for the Certificate store here in the registry:

HKLM\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\(Cert Store in my case: )Root\Certificates\**Certificate Thumbprint**

The thumbprint is viewable by double clicking on the cert in Windows XP/Vista. Go to the Details Tab and look at the thumbprint Field. That is the key name under Certificates in the path above. I used Resco and exported that key. Alternatively you could export the entire SystemCertificates Key.

3. Save your exported registry to a card or your windows box.

4. Flashed Khozura Rom Wm6 Fix 3 and installed Resco Explorer/Reg Add In.

5. Put the Exported Registry Key(s) back on the device.

6 If you exported only the key go to A if you exported the entire systemcertificates go to B

6A. A tap of the exported cert registry entry should prompt you to install it. You can also go to the resco registry editor and choose "Import" from the file menu.

6B. Since you exported the entire system certificates first browse to the certificate store with resco registry editor and export the entire WM6 systemcertificates key. Now Import (tap) your exported WM5 systemcertificates reg file and follow the prompts, next tap the newer WM6 systemcertificates reg file. This will yield only the differences between WM5 and WM6 allowing you to keep the newer WM6 info.

7. Press the power switch at the top to put the unit in standby. Wait about a minute then soft reset.

8. Try your WPA connection.

wm6 autolock -vs- wm5 autolock

I have an HX4700.

With my PDAVIET WM5, I set the autolock to 0mins and the device would quite happily stay on until either the auto switch-off time in the power settings, or I turned it off manually.

When ever I turned it back on, it would always ask for the password.

This was an ideal solution for me as I travel a lot with my 4700, so it is always locked if i'm not using it.

With the WM6 koz and PDAVIET, the autolock seems to lock after the set time regardless. EG using tomtom and the screen locks part way down the road.

If I switch off the autolock then it's always unlocked, and if I switch it on, it locks by itself when I'm trying to navigate.

Any ideas?

Thanks for eveyone's input on this thread.

Overheating?

Anyone else notice that your pocketpc gets really hot when using the wifi for a little while? Or your wifi strength gets really weak as time goes on and the device gets a little bit warmer?

Has anyone noticed that if you have cards in your slots your device runs a bit slower?

Just some random questions I was wondering about

Keep up the good work kozhura; Im currently using the latest build with a2dp fix installed and battery fix installed.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
Oh No! Kozhura wont be making anymore ROM's for the 4700 as he has sold his, not really got the time and has moved on. :( He did a fantastic job bringing our ipaq 4700's up to date & current standard. I thank him for his work, effects and wish him good luck in his future work. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
This is really bad news. Such a bright light is gone. We counted on him and his amazing work to make the 4700 (still the best PDA) shine.

Kozhura, I feel the sadness of losing your leadership. We eagerly looked for your "Russia Russia, Putin Putin, Vodka Vodka" signature as a sign of new treats on page 1. Although you may not do ROMs anymore, I hope we will still see you here for guidance. Thank you for all you have done for us 4700 geeks.

With deep regards and thanks,

Thanks Kozhura and all for the memories

I don't want to spoil anything here, but since moving on to the iPAQ 211 Enterprise, I have never looked back. The thing runs awesome, wireless for hours, battery life is incredible, very fast; must I go on. I loved my two hx4700s, but I had to move on; Too many issues with the cooked ROMs. I wish you all well, and good luck in your endeavors creating and having a good time working on the hx4700 progression - too bad kozhura bowed out, he was/is great. Great memories I take with me.......:)

HP IPAQ 214 (210 Series)

I folks, i have both the 4700 and the new 214, i must say that i still love both of my machines, whether it be testing apps/roms etc etc. The 4700 is made with better material and the screen seems slightly easier to press, although the 214 has faster abilities being a faster rom with use with wm6, im not sure about the slot being different as i never had any cards to check out, all though i have tried my old 2gb sd card and cf card and they both work as expected. Im may just keep the 4700 as a backup until im sure that the 214 will live up to its expectations, as the only problem i have with 4700 at the moment is wm 6 keeps complaining about the backup battery being low, and ive no way of getting a replacement :(

In HP service in my country (Poland) this battery is very expensive - about 160$ with replacement. In this iPAQ oryginal backup battery is accu so it's can't be replaced by normal battery, I trying SR621SW but battery was swell inside my HP.

But if I using WM5, or now WM6 I don't need this battery, becouse my data is stored in ROM memory, and it cannot be lost, when my main battery is low, so i searching some way to delete this irritating message about low backup battery another then put in battery

I have Garmin Que installed on my hx4700 and use it with the older model GPS 10. It works fine with the Kozhura's WM6 ROM. I first installed it with the Que 1620 and that worked great.

I've found an interesting clue about the standby of death.

Whenever you press the power button to turn off the device, there is a 1-2 sec lag between pressing the button and the device actually turning off. Well, sometimes, the device turns off instantly: that's when standby of death happens. Noticed it by accident today.

Running wish list of "to-fix"es

First off, kudos for breathing new life to our hx4700s! So far, I've experienced:

a) the unit shutting down, requiring a quick poke of the stylus frequently

b) battery drain while on standby

c) having to stick to WEP (okay for now)

d) backlight time resets to 10 sec each time the device is reset (is this the norm for WM5? i know it wasn't for 2003se)

e) activesync problems requiring reset of the computer and/or device to restore syncing abilities.

f) don't have exchange server to test ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DavidinCT:
If anyone has a so called fix for the exchange issues, I would gladly test them. I am a Exchange admin and have access to one. I did use it on the WM5 upgrade fine but, it just gives errors on WM6 (Support code #0x80072F06).

Do a seach here and you will find lots of people with the same problem, it's not a server related problem but, a rom issue.

I do really hope kozhura has been reading here about these issues (plus the other ones people are having), I have been reading the russain forum, and he does post almost every day. There is the word that a new release will be sometime in the next week, so maybe it adresses this problem (crossing fingers !!)

Page Pool

Hey, what size is the page pool on this mod again? Did we originally say it was 8mb or what size.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FrankKF:
... And now let us regroup ...

.. no doubt we all owe to Kozhura's leadership in moving our hx4700 series from paper weights to valuable tools ... certainly speaking for myself, this is the case.

Too bad there has not a been a means for rewarding his efforts better than the channels presented to us.

What remains to be done? From my perspective K's WM-6-v4 is a very well developed ROM, everything works for me .. BT, WiFi, Sound, TouchScreen, ActiveSync, Apps... However, we are still lacking SDHC support .. a feature that appears to be a driver issue, not hardware; to my sense SDHC support is an important feature which I'd be willing to support with my funds.

So, is there a hacker or consortium of hackers among our community who could (a) address SDHC compatibility?

And, (b), is there a possibility to write a driver add-in that would allow us to tune our PagePool to suit our application needs.. without the end-user having to cook a ROM revision?

One or both of these features could well justify having our 4700/4705 units for a few more years .. as I see the HP21x series as not a big enough step to abandon my 4705, just yet.

What say, you?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FrankKF:
Two points for your consideration:

a. It is safe .. perfectly safe .. to run Kozhura's WM6-v4. It is a MUCH better choice than reverting .. and everything works. This observation reflects my experience over the past couple of months.

b. I have 4GB SD (not SDHC) plus 16GB CF on mine .. it is A-OK. But note that you'll want to get faster cards for better performance. (I hope that the SDHC driver patch will emerge from our community ... and that will point to 16GB SDHC plus 48GB CF eventually ... AWESOME!!)
