Kozhura, respect to you! You have really done a good work!!!

There is a download agent program, i've noticed it before, and i'm wondering if it is useful? and if it is - how?

There are also HP Image zone and Pictures & Videos programs. Are they one program or can one be removed? I prefer Pict & Videos to use.

What is the diference between Mobile Word and OneNote?

Hi Kozhura, I have a problem with the WM6 Firmware and Activesync with exchange server.

With your Firmware WM5 no problem to connect at my Activesync server of my company where i work.

With WM6 Activesync give me this error : 0x80072f06

Google search and :

You have an incorrect SSL certificate common name in the Host Name field. For example, you may have entered www.server.com, when the common name on the certificate is actually a different URL. Make sure the server name is entered correctly.

All parameters are correct and the second iPaq 4700 with Kozhura WM5 works. I have also a HTC Hermes with WM6 and there all works correct !

What is wrong in WM6 Kozhura ?

Any idea ?

Best regards

Gabriele

P.S. You made a very good job ! Respect

Kozhura, Thanks for your great works.

We can wait, so let's take care about your health.

I tried a Toshiba 4GB SDHC on last Sat, but the new ROM still cannot detect it.

Tried to low the newest WM6 version of CE-Star (A Chinese Fontlink Program), but system hanged. I'm not sure it is because of ROM problem (nls) or software problem. However, it still work normally with the WM5 version of CE-Star.

The Power button is not sensitive as before, now I need to waiting 1-2 sec to shut down my 4700. However, it can shut down immediately original with other your WM5/6 ROMs.

Upgrading to mobile 6 problems

Kozhura, Could you possibly help me, when i try and upgrade from rom 5 to 6 the MUU software does not recognise the existing rom version etc, all i get is question marks, is there another way around this problem ? i use xp through a vmware with active sync 4.5 to install software as the primary os is vista, the software installs ok, im thinking the hp upgrade software may work differently, is this the case, and will i need to use xp as main os ?

ROM Flashing

Hi Dave,

Kozhura is probably going to be too busy fixing the WM6 ROM to reply, so I'll try to help you.

It sounds to me like you are renaming the Kozhura ROM and then trying to use the HP upgrade program. If so, try using a bootloader program like the one here:

http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=243984

It should solve your problem. I'm running Win XP, but this version is supposed to work with Vista with the correct drivers (details in link). I find that the first time I try programming a new ROM, the bootloader program may stop or not work. But it always works at the second attempt. It's recommended you do a "clean" reset after programming is complete (press CONTACTS + MESSAGING, then press CALENDAR when asked) - I find I have to repeat that a few times as well to get it to work.

Good luck :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] albertorrent:

Hi,

This is my first post in this forum and I would like to thank Kozhura and the others for their great work ! WM6 runs fine on my iPAQ :-)

But did I see right and there is a new version of the ROM out(Windows Mobile 6 .0.7.0 Pre-Release 1)? I think I got this one => Windows Mobile 6 .0.3.2 Release 3. What is the difference between the 2 ROMs?

Many greets

Oli
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DV8:
I have upgraded my hx4705 with the bootloader using Vista Ultimate and it works fine. The bootloader will ask to install some drivers just tell it ok and it should install fine. I have also had to hard reset my ipaq a couple of times before the upgrade would run. Good luck.

Kozhura keep up the fantastic work.

chinese japanese eppocket tomtom

I flashed my hx4700 with the last release of wm6, installed CE-star 28 for support of chinese and japanese. Installation was OK. But :

EBpocket (the most important program for me) doesn't work. it says something like : an important component can't be launched or not enough memory. check your memory to close programs that can't close by themselves.

Tomtom 6.2 couldn't be launched.

So I went backward.

It's a pity ! it ran really fast.

Filesys.exe

ok, i dunno if any of u guys notice this notorious prob in WM5 is back in the WM6beta? d reason i switched back 2 WM2003se is bcoz of this filesys prob.. i wonder any1 notice this.. or its only me? it actually eat up 100% of my cpu 4 a very long 7min+..tats no gud.. its like back in d WM5 old days again..any solution?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] leith:
Agree with you. I have the same problem after flash. Somehow I guess it's due to the NOR flash (pls correct me if i'm wrong) which 4700 uses. Anyway I suppose we need to put as little as possible files in storage space to avoid the "re-write" operation and in this way we could avoid 100% CPU on filesys.exe. Another possible solution is to enlarge the paging pool from 4.8M to 8M (64M RAM).

Unfortunatelly I still have to put 20+M files in storage space and sometimes have to wait until the filesys.exe completes. The filesys patch (v6.3) doesn't work on my device....

Anybody have better idea?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] psyCORe:
try installing program into memory card insted BIS ie //program files,
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] leith:

you're correct but we'd better put some files into storage, i.e. fonts, resco picture viewer, resco file explorer, bugme.... it makes the possibility to swap the sd or CF cards.

BTW, for me the chinese support and input are must, and I cannot imagine I put them on SD....

I just tried 2nd & 3rd release. The latest no. I'm hoping we can get the final release soon so I don't need to re-install so many software again and again...

Anyway, I must thank to kozhura and whom has input in this...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Eikichi:
Its hardware mate, aint gonna be fixed 100% via romupgrade, its because of how WM5/WM6 handles the RAM since the slowpoke NOR flash is being used as RAM. But you can minimize the compaction just by making your program memory free as much as possible. If not completely free at least minimal.

SDHC compatibility

I'm not sure whether SDHC will ever work on hx4700. It seems that SDHC does not only rely on the sotfware implementaion (the SD driver) but also on hardware. I use "normal" 4GB Transcend SD card, because I tried SDHC on WM5 on my hx4700 and it didn't work for me :(

For details You can take a look at http://www.hjreggel.net/cardspeed/special-sd.html. It is quite old, but good summary of the SD size issue. I found it on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card), where I also found this:

Timtoolman,

I am always fearful of trying a rom upgrade but actually did it three times over the weekend. I started with the first upgrade and the change in speed from 5.3 to WM 6+ was truly amazing. I then tried the latest and found like everybody else that a lot of programs would not operate so switched back to the first version. and have found that it runs perfectly.

I am just glad that I changed from 5.3 to this rom.

Xerxers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Timtoolman:
Are you saying you switch back to the first version of wm 6? I am using the latest update from here and I get great speed on one tap and great delay on the next. Plus I have right now at least 5 programs that don't work with this upgrade and quite trying. I see there is two versions of wm 6 on here if you tell me the first one runs better I'll give it a shot.

No Ty not talking about certified, take a look back through this thread and tell me it is running fine. I appreciate the effort but I need something that works for me. That runs the programs I need for day to day.

Tim

PS by the way its not that I am fearful, I just am willing to admit that things are as they are. I do not fear updating the Rom.

WPA-TKIP problem

I was playing a little with the WPA-TKIP problem, and I found out, that my wifi access point logs "authentication failed", when I try to connect using WPA-TKIP. I suspect, that maybe for some reason the WPA-TKIP key is stored/read incorrectly in/from registry, therefore causing authentication failure.

I would like to still work a little bit more on this issue, but I have no experience with debugging on PPC.

Therefore a question: does anyone know what tools I could use on PPC to try to debug such a problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Eikichi:
No the modpp will not work on this rom since it points to the same block as that of WM5 which does not exist anymore in WM6. This rom is already fast and the increase in speed you'll get in increasing your pagepool with this rom is not that significant. But if youre still willing to give it a go you can do it manually through hex editing.

Block 3EEDD0

64 B0 00 00 64 00 00 00 74 9A 1F 80 00 00 48 00

Change 48 00 to 80 00 for 8mb

Change 48 00 to 00 03 for 48M if you have 128MB of RAM

- restored backup

and everything went better?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xerxers:
Yes, that is what I did almost I did not back up the second WM 6.0 but used a backup created before I changed to WM 6.0

BUT I did originally have 5.3 which in hindsight was just SO slow.

The steps I did were load the first WM6 ie fix3 last Thu and after 5.3 that was just so fast and everything did work perfectly then I saw over the weekend that there was a newer version so I tried that.

Then I tried to load Spb Pocket Plus and that would not load. I then did a hard reset and tried loading again but all to no avail. I then used Sprite restore and that loaded everything BUT Spb Pocket Plus.....very strange.

I then downloaded the original WM 6.0 fix3 this last Sun and used Sprite to restore and that is what I have been using since. The only slow down I have is when Active sync is synching and i am trying to use an apps.

Unbelievable results - Exchange Problem

I can not believe the performance difference in my hx4700 since I installed the kozhura wm6 build.

I have tested a number of SPB apps (plus, diary, weather, backup & time) all worked well. I had installed them in system memory (not SD card) and feel that performance decreased.

Installed Resco utility pack no problems.

My only issue to date is with Exchange Server; I was able to sync through wifi, using webmail access and appropriate security cert, under WM5. Since the upgrade cannot connect to exchange server either through wifi, or activesync usb. I looked around on the web, saw nothing verifiable, but saw someone said that wm6 required Exchange 2007 for webmail access, not sure if this is true. Hopefully this is not true and can be corrected, let me know if you need anyone to test.

For now I will use the desktop mail sync (through outlook mail) and not get mail remotely, I think the performance difference is worth the inconvenience.

Thanks for showing HP how to do it RIGHT !!!
