4PDA WM6 ROM really works

Hi guys, I flashed my hx2795 to WM6 from 4PDA.ru and it works well. I had to change a registry to activate extra dialup string to use a bluetooth modem. I also had to change registry to see contrast and error reporting apps. Then installed the Udillak A2DP fix, and every tool I use is working well. I followed all recommendations to fix the battery pack in this thread and others, but the WM6 still consumes something like 3-4% of the battery in standy by mode per day.

I am glad to have that ROM, and as promised sent a paypal to misar, not that much but to thank him for this fantastic work. Thank you all for the help too.

If you know any work to upgrade the 5.2.1437 (Build 17944.0.3.1) to a next like version 5.2.1908, please let me know.

Thanks

Thanks for the great walkthru help and thanks to everyone who made the roms and software available. Now running my hx2410 on WM6, fast and great looking!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sosasami:
How does it function on your hx2410 - is it fast enough?

how is the memory consumption?

did you have to upgrade each firmware separately or can you flash the wm6 directly from wm2003se?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] einsteinecker:
Finally got WM6 on my HX2415, and that was only after wasting my time here for half a day following tutorials that didn't work in the end. I had to figure it out myself.

What I did was my WM5 1.00.00.L was rejecting the H firmware no matter what method I was using, so I got so frustrated I started up the WM2003SE downgrader then I thought "hey, this thing will downgrade to WM2003, why not just use it to "downgrade" to the H firmware?" That worked, but the lame thing is, my program storage got cut in half from when was the L firmware. From 24mb down to 14mb, that was unacceptable. Then I "downgraded" to the .02 H firmware and the program storage was still 14mb. Finally, knowing that WM6 was around the corner I gave it one last try, "downgraded" to WM6 and the program storage is.....still 14mb. Even till now with WM6 its still 14mb, even with formatting the PS twice it was 14mb.

Sucks, but what I want to know is why did I have to "downgrade" to the H firmware? Why didn't everyone else's method not work on my device? Is the H firmware the one responsible for my 14mb storage memory when it's supposed to be 24mb?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Udillak:
mangatron,

It's totally normal to have 14 Mb of storage after .H firmware flashing.

Just relax and take a look on .L and .H firmware image files sizes.

You will find that .H file is 10 megabytes biger then .L.

Do you understand why HP calls this firmwares as [Hi] and [Low]?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] einsteinecker:
Yeah, the file sizes really got me thinking there. But there really is no way to get the lost 10mb back? That could help because my most needed programs are taking up all the memory, if I use up the rest of the free memory my device will take a dump lol.

I would try and take the time to go immediately from the L firmware to WM6, but I'm not guaranteed that works.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Quade2000:
I had great success flashing my hx2490 to the pdaviet WM6.0_5.07.01_HP2000 ROM on friday. I was @ 1.0h with a virgin OS. Followed the instructions and all went well. I did the battery drain fixes right away. I had to use the additional Windows Live install to get it working.

A few things though...

I haven't applied the A2DP patch yet, don't have that type of headset yet. My Logitech headset connects fine but it's not putting out any audio from my media. I used to be able to watch media and listen in mono through my headset, as well as hear the general OS sounds etc. Should I apply the patch anyway?

I noticed a 'Task Manager' in the Settings screen, it seems to work fine with one exception. The 'Enable X Button to end programs' doesn't work. Neither does the extra option of choosing 'tap and hold' X to close...

Everything else is great. It's fast! I love it! I have renewed happiness with my device, no thanks to HP!

You people ROCK!

P.S. Can we change this threads title to something like 'WM6 ROMs for iPAQ hx2000 Series' ?? The current title is misleading for the important info inside!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Frankie99:
After struggling with this for 5 hours I have nutted out my problem.

For those of you having the low image problem - I had this issue with firmware 1.02 H for my 2490b and it wouldnt let me downgrade further, nothing I tried worked. Despite a lot of posts stating you need to downgrade; I coudlnt at all, and in fact didnt need to.

(Most of the following is a straight cut from copenhagen's instructions)

- put device into WHITE bootloader mode and again run the 1.0h rom setup.

** when you put it in bootloader mode hold down the calendar button, it should then be active even if its still a blank white screen **

Run HpRUU.exe from the softpaq32408 (the later version just doesnt work)

When you arrive at the screen that asks "update" or "cancel"

1. rename the wm5.xxx.nbf to wm5.xxx.nbf.old

2. rename the new wm6.xx.nbf from the 4pda.rar/pdaviet file to whatever your wm5-wm5.xxxx.nbf was called (before you added the .old to it)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sosasami:
Please can you tell me - If I want to upgrade my ipaq hx2140 (running wm2003) to pdaviet wm6 - do I need to install first wm5 then wm6 or can I install the wm6 image immediately?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Beef2000:
Hi guys,

same things like you lukasgri

"Bad news for me

My 2410 is totally dead after updating from wm2003 in spanish to wm5 in english, changing the .nbf from spanish to english.

After upgrading 100%, I tried soft & hard reset, but 2410 is dead. No leds wen charging, no start... nothig.

Any last idea "

i upgraded from WM2003 SE on my 2410 to WM5 L then go to WM5 H then upgraded to WM6 until 100% "update end."

then......... nothing

No leds wen charging, no start... nothing.

no changes with hard reboot, soft reset...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] abbaml:
the language of the current device and the upgrade language must be THE SAME. When u upgrade from wm2003 spanish to wm5L english, is it success?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] abbaml:
Your eboot mode is type L, thus:

Use Upgrade from firmware WM5.0 version 1.00.00_L

(http://rapidshare.com/files/55464011/WWE-hx2000L_WM5_Upgrade.rar.html)

Before you press update, rename the original nbf file of 1.00.00_L to something else, then rename wm6.0's nbf file into the original name of 1.00.00_L's nbf file.

Voila...you have wm6.0 ENG

Hi guys , I'm interested in upgrading my ipaq hx2750 .

At the moment it's running with wm2003 Se , english .

I've heard that Wm5 sold by hp is buggy rubbish , it's slow .

I'd like to upgrade to WM6 , but I don't know how to do .

I've read that the process is :

WM2003-->WM5 L --> WM5 H -->WM6 .

But I think I haven't WM5 H ( or the WM L ) rom . ( I have only one WM5 rom , that is 1.00.00 , nothing else )

Moreover , I only can attach my device on usb OR power chord , not both .

I've read the best WM6 rom is the one given by pdaviet , is that true ?

Thanks .

Then upgraded to WM6 until 100% "update end."

New WM6 hx2000 version ?

Hi guys, just to check with you... I was reading in some threads that someone in the rus sites is preparing a new WM6 version, do you know if the lattest we have is the pdaviet WM6 or there is something new already ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mspock:
In hx2750 there is only one rom upgrade : wm5 1.00.00 H .

In Wm6 instructions is written that upgrading needs these steps :

( wm5 1.00.00 L ) , wm5 1.00.00 H -- > wm5 1.02.00 H -- > Wm6 Pdaviet .

I simply have ONE rom : wm5 1.00.00 H .

At the address is written something about hx27xx users :

http://pdaviet.net/showthread.php?t=13245

but I can't understand it . Seems that says something like that :

" for ipaq hx27xx versions , upgrading is the same thing above , with only the difference that the first upgrade is wm5 1.00.00 H and the second is the same of those other ipaqs : ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33003.exe

Anyway I'm not sure . If someone out there has tried to upgrade hx27xx series with wm5 1.02.00 H rom , could confirm that ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] abbaml:
1. Do u upgrade AT ONCE from WM2003 SE French => WM2003 SE English

=>WM5 1.00.00.L =>WM5 1.00.00.H =>1.02.00 H ?? If yes, no woder that your battery become DEAD.

2. Do you perform clean reset/format ps (1+3+power+reset) for EACH UPGRADE?

3. When you finished at the point 1.02.00_H; what is the percentage of your battery? At this point 1.02.00_H; do you check everything programs & setting running smoothly = stable?

4. Until today, how many days is your ipaq's dead?

Before I told you the next step, right now better you borrow battery from the same ipaq from your friend...then I will tell you how to bring alive the DEAD ipaq.

Your current battery is drained and you will not be able to charge by AC adaptor cable.

2. Do you perform clean reset/format ps (1+3+power+reset) for EACH UPGRADE? => No

3. When you finished at the point 1.02.00_H; what is the percentage of your battery? 100% all these operations were done with power supply

At this point 1.02.00_H; do you check everything programs & setting running smoothly = stable? => yes

4. Until today, how many days is your ipaq's dead? => 10 days

i'm trying to find another battery to test to start the bootloader
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] abbaml:
1. You don't read the step carefully. It is very dangerous if you finish each upgrade without FORMAT PS..

2. Your Battery is not 100%, because you upgrade using cradle..it can not simultaneously charge the battery when you were doing upgrading

3. 10 days and still intact on IPAQ? Your battery already DRAINED.

OK, forget everything......bring the full 100% battery from your friend and go here:

Hx2750 wm6

Hi , I've successfully upgradred my ipaq hx2750 with pdaviet rom :

The process is :

wm5 1.00.00 H --> wm6 pdaviet

clean resetting and using Usb mode ( white bootloader mode ) .

The rom upgrade utility i used is the one provided with wm5 1.00.00H .

Just substitute the file before confirming the upgrade .

I've however some issues with :

1) battery indicator , indicating a non-correct battery level .

2) wireless psk is working . however , sometimes I need to switch off and again on the wi-fi to let it to connect to my network . If I don't it keeps saying "connecting" but it doesn't do it .

3) I'm not sure if I have the same battery drain issue that other people have , but feel free to ask me if you wanna know in the future .

I'll try this rom but I think there are some bad bugs in it .

I'm grateful to 4pda people and pdaviet crew ;) .

Link to PDAVIET Part 1 File Broken.

Greetings to everyone on this forum and a big "thank you" for everyone who has helped make upgrading the iPaq hx2000 series to WM6 possible -- you guys rock! :)

I was wondering if anyone can post Part 1 of of PDAViet's solution to a file-sharing service such as Rapidshare or MegaUploads? The reason is because the link seems to be broken. I get a "Website currently unavailable" message when I access hxxp://tom-love.net/. Note that this is not the exact link to the file, but the main website and that I intentionally changed "http" to "hxxp".

The actual link to the file is hxxp://tom-love.net/ROM/HP/WM6.0_5.07.01_HP2000.part1.rar, but it does not load anything. Heck, it would be better to merge the 2 files together (parts 1 & 2) in order to make the link a "one-stop" solution. Thank you in advance.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mspock:
I'm going to edit this post , because I found something about wireless and so on :

-First of all , I had installed spb pocket plus and pocket mechanic , and what I think is that one of them is the responsible of the behaviour of wireless.

I hard- resetted the unit and I didn't install anymore those programs ( I think I had used the program's clean-utilities ) .

-About the battery indicator : Don't use activesync . Or do it but withouth usb-charging . I've noticed that charging while connected to activesinc seems to be the cause of the problem .

-The process of switching on bluetooth is quite slow .

Another Thing :I'm using QuickMenu ( the chinese program ), but I think it has a bug : when the pda is connected to a charger , it seems to be very very slow . ( i'm using the battery indicator on the up-right part of the screen ) .

However , once discovered and risolved these bugs , WM6 Pdaviet rocks on my hx2750 .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mikeyr:
Question for mspock ....

Hello, mspock, you quoted the following:

"-The process of switching on bluetooth is quite slow."

What version are you showing regarding the Bluetooth stack? The 4pda version of the hack displays the Broadcom version 1.7.1.1424 as its Bluetooth stack, which is the exact same version of WM5 for the hx2750 -- a proven pain in the butt for many iPaq owners trying to connect to their Bluetooth GPSs. I believe that WM6's actual Bluetooth stack never made it into the hack. I have the exact same model that you have, the hx2750, but I could not get it to work with 4pda's hacked WM6 (the Bluetooth).

Is it possible that you can post PDAViet's version to a file-sharing service such as Rapidshare, etc.? I'd like to try it on mine as it seems to have worked for you. Thank you in advance. I don't know if the email method will work, but I'll include it also: rivmik7@msn.com

Thanks in advance. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mspock:
yes , it's the 1.7.1.1424 version .

when switched on , it takes a little time to be operative ( eg. 10 to 15 seconds ), however I've already tested it with my gps receiver and it works perfectly .

Here's the link with the files you need :

Please if you find something else , write it ! ;) enjoy .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mikeyr:
mspock, you're a godsend!!! :)

I'm downloading it right now and as soon as I get it installed, I'll post my results here. It's just awesome that someone with the same model as mine has been able to post some positive results regarding the hx2750's Bluetooth capability as it's proved to be quite a pain for many owner's of this model, particularly those trying to get their GPS Bluetooth receivers to work. This way, I'll know if my hx2750 is simply a dud or not.

On a different note, I've noticed that some here still have problems trying to re-flash their iPaqs, bricked or not. It's VERY important that your unit says "USB" on the bottom left-hand corner of your display and NOT, "USB is connected". Here's what I did. By the way, the bootloaders failed for me, but the hpRUU.exe works great even with thos ROM versions that give you all sorts of errors about your iPaq type and whatnot. Once you get into bootloader mode, hpRUU.exe behaves MUCH MORE DIFFERENTLY.

1. Remove hx2750 from the cradle. This assumes you already have your PC running and your hx2750 is on and residing in the cradle. I used WinXP and I recommend just WinXP. You don't have to kill the ActiveSync process be it on your hx2750 or PC.

2. Perform a hard reset on the hx2750 (CALENDAR+MESSAGES+POWER+SOFT RESET BUTTON). It should say "Formatting PS..." on the bottom left-hand corner of the hx2750's display.

3. Press and hold the CONTACTS+ITASK buttons and lightly depress the soft reset button. Let go of the buttons once you see

the boot loader screen. It'll look like the typical boot up screen except that it will say "Pre-BL: 1.00.04" on the (near) bottom right-hand corner of the display or similar (your version number may differ).

4. Place the hx2750 back in the cradle. You'll see "USB is connected" on the bottom left-hand corner of the hx2750's display. Press the CALENDAR button once to get it to show "USB". If you were successful, you should see at the bottom left hand corner of the hx2750's display, "USB", and NOT "USB is connected". If not, start all over again.

5. Run the hpRUU.exe utility (or your bootloader, if you feel comfortable with it) from you XP machine and perform the ROM update.

NOTE: If using the hpRUU.exe utility, you MUST ensure that hpRUU.ini has the exact name of the NBF file you're trying to flash to your hx2750. If it is not, change the string in the INI file to reflect that of your NBF or that of your NBF file to reflect that of your INI file. Either one should work. The hx2750 will automatically reboot once it's done.

5. After the re-boot, perform another hard reset (CALENDAR +MESSAGES+POWER+SOFT RESET BUTTON). I really did not find this step necessary, but it may for others so, just do it to be on the safe side.

'hope this helped. :)

Rapidshare file corrupt.

Aaaaaaargh! Sorry mspock, I ran into an obstacle -- the file you uploaded to rapidshare is corrupt. I was able to extract the WM5 Upgrade from it, but the PDAViet WM6 folder is corrupt. I downloaded this file 3 times to ensure it was not my system corrupting the files. I also avoided downloading/uploading anything over the Net along with no multi-tasking activity while the file was being downloaded.

Could you please re-RAR the file and repost it? Just the PDAViet version would also do unless someone else needs the WM5 upgrade also. Thanks in advance!!! :)

I've edited my last post : repacked the file and re-uploaded . make sure you digit the right pw .

The updating process is right , someone says to do :

wm5 L --> wm5 H 1.00 --> wm5 H 1.02 ( for ipaq hax2750 you have to use an ipaq 2790 rom ) --> wm6 ( pdaviet or 4pda ) .

I had wm2003 , so my steps became : wm2003 --> wm5 H --> wm6 pdaviet ( didn't pass through wm5 h 1.02 )

the rom updater i used is the one given with wm5 1.00.00 H rom , and , as described before , I've substituted the original wm5 rom with the wm6 one , after the confirmation , before pressing the continue button , without closing the application .

I think the hx2750 is a GREAT ppc , i don't undertand why it has a little support nowadays .
