[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] copenhagen:
NEW ROM! CE OS 5.2.1933 Build 18533.0.7.0 hp2*** series ipaq

The chronic "hp devices all die sooner then you would like them to" disease that will eventually attack all of your devices

has gotten to mine first. Unfortunetly for myself, the wifi component of my ppc is now fubar. (And this new rom had

NOTHING to do with it)

Just to make sure, I flashed down to 5.0 1.00h then 5.0 1.02h, then back to original pdaviet rom, then again with this new one, and wifi stayed off with "driver not loaded" and "unrecognized card in slot 2" error messages throughout the entire process. AND now that my device is out of warrenty... SNIFFLE!!!!!! Just to be clear.. this is a HARDWARE DEFECT that ALOT of people are experiencing. This cannot be fixed by anyone other then hp. DAM THEM.

So... for the time being ill still follow the progess of the wm6 roms and continue to update the big post on page 7...

but the minute hp starts shipping the new ipaq 210, my 2490 is getting donated to the g.f.

b.t.w. the ipaq 210 is 100$ less then the 2490b AND has 256mb rom, larger 4 inch screen, wifib+g, bt2, and comes shipped with wm6. HDSC so > 2gb sd cards. etc etc... the processor also runs about 100 mhz faster then the 2490b (same speed as 2790 i believe) Also this device has an expected 3 year

life cycle... which is significantly longer then the 6 or so months I got out of the 2490b.

Anyways,, good luck everyone with your upgrades to wm6 .. hopefully we've provided you with enough info to keep you

flashing uptil YOUR device conks out. May the hp gods bring you nothing but long battery life, and non-faulty units.

In the mean time... here is a new working ROM for you to play with:

Thanks to Absolut3k for seeing this one posted on the pdaviet site. I have already flashed my device with it and (i can no longer test wifi with my device) it appears to be VERY STABLE.

notice that the os version says 6.0 instead of 5.0....

your going to ask: "how do I download that rom from the pdaviet page?"

answer: register on their forum

Then your going to ask: "I can't read this .... what the... how do I do that..."

answer: just wing it! user name in 1st space, password/confirm 2nd and 3rd, email/confirm 4th and 5th, do the enter-the-text-shown-above in the picture thing, then scroll down like your gunna enter something into the very last box (dont type anything) just hit enter.

"Is there a confirmation email?" <-- you

Yes, there is (im not sure it did anything) there was a direct link to the forum I think 2nd from bottom. I click it and was on the page logged in.

VOILA~! <-- me

Then you can download the file posted on the pdaviet site. (which is a link to another site that is storing the rom file) there are passwords involved so READ! I'm not reposting the rom file so dont ask.

The big post on page 7 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1516882&postcount=66) which contains full instructions for flashing and links to all relative information, has been updated.
