Hi,

this is what I did for upgrading my hx2795 to WM6

a) Hard reset your device, and remove SD or any SDIO card you use.

b) Sync you device with your desktop

c) Get in to the boot loader mode

d) Connect your cradle cable with your desktop pc, not you can see "USB is connected" message on your Ipaq screen

e) Press the calendar button for 2 / 3 seconds, now you can see "USB" message on your Ipaq screen.

f) Run HPRUU exe file on your desktop pc and follow the instruction in your screen.

g) Your Ipaq will begin flashing and it might take 15 or even 20 minutes so be patient or get yourself a drink !

h) After successfully flashed your device, do a hard reset again and your device will be ready for use and will have WM6

and for Hard Reset Press Calendar, power and message button. While still press those button, lightly press reset button with stylus.

and for Bootloader mode Take out your ipaq from the cradle. Press contact + itask button + reset button.

Anavas, Windows Live already in WM6.0, why we should install again from the link that u gave us.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anavas:
because the inbuilt one doesn't work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] abbaml:
ATTENTION:

Anyone who tried this WM6.0, please report any bugs encountered.

From Russian forum, some complained about the battery drained rapidly.

I got hp hx2190b and It does not upgrade... and got error... "Incorrect device SKU! Update cannot continue"

anyone any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

I'm getting a bit of a different error - hx2495

RUU Client Driver.dll could not initilize the device. This may not be the correct dll for this iPaq and this nbf.

On the device it shows a diital sign mismatch

Anyway to copy the .nbf to the SD and run it from there?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] netsyd:
Followed these steps on my hx2495 ... MAKE SURE YOU SEE "USB" after you press the calendar key and not "USB is Connected". I ran into all kinds of errors because I was skipping this one step.

anavas - Thanks for putting the instructions together :)

Hi, I am trying to fix A2DP, seems to be somthing in the registry I was comparing with WM5 and there are some key lacking...

Anyone knows if the contrast and error reporting are working with WM6 and hx2795 ? I tried to follow a instruction in the original russian forum, deleting the redirect reg keys, now I can see the applications, I could enter the contrast, move the slide bar but nothing happens ! If someone could make it work let me know, please !

when i try the bootloader boot, the screen goes white, and it does nothing it just sits there, any idears, anyone actualy done this on a hx2790b
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] beneyre:
to get the hard reset its calander + message + power + reset, now i notice you have to hold the reset in for about 4 seconds. do it like this and it will format the ps every time. if u just push it in and release right away, it will just reboot

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] steven07968:
Good idea, would also like to know how to cook the ROM, and thus delete out apps like Office, as personally I have no need for Word, Excel etc...

Would like to start from a clear base, where no apps are pre-installed. So that I can install everything I need myself, which in turn would make it a tad quicker :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sosasami:
I would also love to see either a "Lite" version, or perhaps some more information on how one may create it, so that it could run with abit more memory on the 2410.

I'm trying to figure out exactly which rom I should use... Pocket IE on YurriX's Rom is slow and on the PDAviet rom crashes strangely. what rom does everyone use? I'm using the PDAviet WM 6 5.2.1933 (build 18533.0.7.0 PV)... Is this the latest PDAviet version?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JarekG:
I use the one from 4PDA and it's working greate. So far I have no problem and PocketIE works 100%.

I did have some strange issues happen with Yurrix ROM but his is version 6.1.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] contradude:
that would explain why there's all of these issues with it. i'll have to try the 4pda version..

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] contradude:
piotr,

I was using YurriX's rom (which is the wm 6.1 version) and it does okay. It's not an amazing rom but it's a good peak at things to come. It seems relatively stable, although as I said above it doesn't feel polished.

4pda.ru 's forums have a link to it, otherwize his blog (and download links) are at: all2me.blogspot.com

hx2790b

Guys, the entire thread became rather confusing... too many ROMs, too many models. Can anyone who's effectively managed to get a hx2790b upgraded to WM6 explain how can we achieve that please? (bearing in mind the title of the thread refers to hx2795, actually)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] contradude:
I use a 2495, which is basically the same as the 27xx series without the reader on it. go to page 7 and there is a great summary by copenhagen that basically shows the biggest contenders right now. im on the pdaviet version and I like it a lot. Let me know if you have any questions after reading the superpost

i'm sounding like a copenhagen fanboy lol. guess it's getting close to time for me to make a FAQ or something so that I don't keep havin' to send people to that post :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nyknicks8:
I also have a 2495b. I have been trying for months to upgrade to wm6 and been following this forum throughout (yes I read all 40 pages), but I got all kind of error messages and gave up. Now I'm trying again, and using the hpRUU.exe software I got up to the point where it says upgrade now and i press it. But after that, I get a RUUclient error. The software automatically puts my PDA into normal bootloader mode, and it says USB. Any suggestions to get past this?

In case you're wondering, if I start out in normal bootloader mode and run hpRUU.exe, it won't even recognize my pda. That is why I start up my PDA normally, and let hpRUU reset my PDA into bootloader mode. Please help. Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] contradude:
hmm... running windows xp or vista? what version are you upgrading from (firmware revision)? which are you upgrading to (if its pdaviet are you doing the swap trick in the superpost on p7?) ? are you setting it in whitescreen mode by holding calendar + mail then hitting the reset button... the after its in the cradle again hitting calendar to enable usb?

lol, im gonna get on my computer now. typing all of this with my stylus is making my hand tired :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nyknicks8:
Thanks for the quick reply contradude. I am running Vista, I have tried XP before but there wasn't any success. Yes I am swapping the firmwares. I am running 1.02H WM5. Yes, I am using PDAviet rom. Here's the only problem, if I run it using whitescreen bootloader, hpRUU does not recognize my PDa so I don't even get to the upgrade screen. The same occurs for normal bootloader mode. But if I start up my PDA normally, hpRUU recognizes my PDa and I get to the upgrade screen and I press upgrade. hpRUU automatically reboots my PDA into normal bootloader, and USB connected turns into USB (which I guess is the same effect of pressing the calendar button - I do press it, but nothing changes) After some time, an error comes up which says "RUUClient.dll could not initialize device. This may not be the correct dll file for this iPAQ pocket pc or nbf file." To test out the nbf file, I used the original nbf file that came with the firmware upgrade as well and the same error occurs, so I am assuming the pdaviet rom does not cause this error. Thanks for helping me out.

I envy you actually typing up a post on your pda. You won't believe how many hours I have spent trying to upgrade to wm6 and that does not include time thinking about all the troubleshooting possiblities.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] contradude:
just covering my bases :) . are you using the latest version of activesync? I know that my 2495 will not be recognized by windows at all in white screen bootloader until I hit the calendar button. I have not gotten a WM6 upgrade to work without a successful white screen bootloader... :(

I'm going to keep trying to troubleshoot this until you can post from it too :p

edit: everyone seems to be having that problem on vista as far as I can see, where they correctly white BL and can't get anywhere with it... have you messed with chris's bootloader at all?

edit 2: which version of the hpruu are you using? are you using the one that updated you to 1.02? that's the one I used to get it to load...

edit 3 (enough edits for a post you think? lol): I think I may have found the ticket... here is the link to chrismrulz' universal bootloader tool (that is supposedly superior to the hpruu...) and here is what looks like a vista fix... chrism's tool seems to do the process killing that is mentioned in the vista drivers thread, so you wont have to do that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nyknicks8:
I am running Vista which does not use activesync but windows mobile device center. My pc recongizes the pda (under all modes: normal, normal bootloader, and whitescreen bootloader) because under device manager HP USB Sync is listed as a device. So I am guessing that it is hpRUU that is not recognizing my PDA.

Also another difference between what you said: for me to get into white screen bootloader, I have to press contacts+itask+reset (the screen then turns white). You said calendar+mail+reset. I tried what you said and it didn't do anything (just booted up normally).

Other steps I tried with no success:

-connecting it directly to my pc at the back (I had it on a hub)

-connecting it to the front of my pc

I will try it using XP with the latest activesync as it seems you are using XP.

I really appreciate you helping me out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] contradude:
sorry i forgot you were on the B variant. I'm running old school over here so the combo is different. if you want to try XP, i'll try to walk you through it by doing the steps at the same time as you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nyknicks8:
Sure you can walk me through. Do you prefer any instant messenging program? Or do you want to do it through the forums. I have AIM and yahoo. You can PM me your ID if you prefer that. Thanks again.

EDIT: I actually tried the link you gave me for the vista problems. I did all those steps and it actually came up with a different error (which I guess is good). Now it says incorrect language. But if you want to walkme through XP, it may be easier since you already did it that way.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nyknicks8:
Ok I just got WM6 on my hx2495b after more than 6 months of reading, trying and failures.

The method I used is from post #369 from this thread (credit goes to 4stimpy). I followed it word by word and it worked successfully. Also I'd like to give a shout out to contradude for his time in troubleshooting and providing motivation for actually working on it today. Also thanks to everyone else on this thread for posting as that would have helped me as well.

Now if anyone needs any help, feel free to PM me or email me at neo2830n at hotmail dot com. I have seen almost every possible error message, and I will be glad to help anyone out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] killer23d:
I have been using the PDAViet and YurriX version for my HX2490b, the PDAViet one is the fastest and stable version I've had so far. Just out of curiosity I wanted to try WM 6.1, and Yurrix is the only one available. It is not perfect, and I would expect a new revision would be out soon.

Yurrix just produced a new RUS version, I guess the WWE is coming soon.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JarekG:
I did try the Yurrix version and had some problems. The messaging is not there and every time I put my device on it would go through WiFi and BT check.

Just a question though...how did you get the PDAViet ROM. I can't download from their site. I'm currently using the 4PDA version and it's good but I'm having problems with some of the applications that I created in C#.

I want to try the PDAViet version and see if the same problem.

They are working fine on WM5.

Hi guys, I have PDAVIET WM6 5.07.04 installed and it is working well, very stable... well I had to do 2 or 3 registry adjustments to have stability with the SD and CF cards I am using, but now I am 10 days without soft or hard resetting it... I am also waiting for Yurrix WWE 6.1 ROM be posted tomorrow (I think) and flash it to see if it is better than the first version he posted on Feb, 12th.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] steven07968:
To be honest the version he last posted has been class, I've been using that since then and haven't had any problems since installing the wifi fix. Speed is good and not had it crash or reboot to date.

Question for someone though, as I'm new to flashing ROM's. I'll want to upgrade the YuRRiX ROM which I've currently got, with the one that will be released tomorrow. Can I just flash directly over my current version? Or do I need to mess about to downgrade first etc... ?

Thanks very much.

With just a few MB left, all programs run very slowly. Is there any version of WM6 that does not have any extras or add-ons built-in so that I can save some memory space?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] contradude:
that has been asked for before... It doesn't seem like anyone is interested in making a stripped rom :( . Maybe they'll make a rom kitchen.

janam4u: you've got to follow the instructions very carefully otherwise this rom won't install. please read the first note in the superpost by copenhagen above. if you follow these instructions to the T, you will be set.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] konker:
This is a known issue with upgrading hx2410/2415 series as there's already limited ROM in the device & the upgrade ROMs are the H-version not the L-version ROMs so the amount of Storage memory left after the upgrade is in the region of 10-14Mb.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sosasami:
I also have an hx2410 and I am left with only 14M after installation of WM6.

In the mean time I install everything on the memory card (though some program insist on installing to the RAM), and use UPX for PPC to compress big files.

PDAViet's WM6 for HX2000 - The Best!!

Another mirror for PDAviet 5.07.04 Build 18533 WM6 NBF file

I used to use Yurrix's WM 6.1, but it gives quite a few issues. Until the next fix is out, I flashed my hx2490b back to this.

Instruction to flash, ensure ActiveSync (XP) is installed, cradle, AC power is plugged in.

1) Hard-reset the unit (hold Power + Mail + Calendar, then RESET), you should see formating P.S. on the screen after.

2) Download SP32408.exe from HP

3) Extract SP32408.exe to a folder. Make note of the nbf file name (Microsoft_Windows_Mobile_5_WWE.nbf).

4) Copy nk.nbf in WM6.0_5.07.04_HP2000_B18533.rar to the SP32408 folder you just extracted. Keep the folder open for later step.

5) Boot the unit to white bootloader (contacts + itask + reset -let go and press calendar)

6) Put the unit in the cradle and let the computer detects the unit

7) Run HPruu.exe, tick the "I Understand" box and click Next

8) After HPRuu verified the unit and nbf file, the next screen will show the version about to be flash and current version.

9) Let the HPRuu remain open, click on the opened SP32408 folder, change the file "Microsoft_Windows_Mobile_5_WWE.nbf" to "Microsoft_Windows_Mobile_5_WWE.nbf.old". Then rename "nk.nbf" to "Microsoft_Windows_Mobile_5_WWE.nbf"

10) Go back to HPRuu, and click "Update" and wait for the progress bar to complete!!

11) The unit might freezes on the reboot when finished flashing, simply do a hard-reset and it will be fine.

That's it!! After 100%, you will have the best WM6 for the hx2000 series!!

Hi steven07968

I did exactly as killer23d instructions and got from Yurrix's 6.1 to PDAVIET and have no problems at all. Didn't need to downgrade at all.

How've you found PDAviet ROM compared to YuRRiX ROM then?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] contradude:
I've found it to be faster and feel more 'iPaq-ish' than Yurrix's Rom... besides YurriX's rom is WM6.1 if I remember right and is a touch unstable. I think the PDAviet rom is where it's at right now but the yurrix rom is promising.
