Summarizing what I've been able to do so far:

- starting point: WM5 ITA official HP upgrade

- via bootloader screen, flashed AKU3.52_ENG - OK

- AKU3.52 definitely refused to work: even after formatting PS and clean+hard reset, progress bar was stuck at 100% after slow startup

- panicking :D tried to rollback to WM2003SE but, as you know, it will never work unless using special downgrade version (which I didn't try)

- via bootloader screen, flashed WM5 ENG official HP - OK

- via bootloader screen tried to flash WM6 ENG - KO :(

Now I have a nice up and running WM5 ENG... but no way to upgrade to WM6, tried every way including Pre-BL and Eboot screens but I always get an Invalid SKU error. ROM numbers are Pre-BL 1.00.02 and Eboot 1.00.00.L.

I guess bootloader 1.00.02 and/or having the official HP firmware is what's blocking me now. Maybe I should try reverting to another bootloader or ROM, but every attempt is now reporting a SKU error.

Looking at this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=330682

I believe the right procedure to follow may look like this:

- downgrade whatever version to WWE-hx2000_PPC03_downgrade (which should always work to perform a downgrade)

- upgrade to WM5 "L" ENG build with hx2000_1.00.00.L_ENG

- upgrade to "H" ENG build with SP32408_1.00.00.H_ENG

- use "H" firmware image from SP33003_1.02.00.H_ENG to fool WM6 RUU and swap with firmware WM6.0_5.20.00.H_ENG (because it needs an "H" upgrade)

Just my two cents... I'll try as soon as I have some spare time.

Maybe not all steps are required: for instance my PDA, now running 1.00.00.L could start by upgrading to "H" firmware and then go on from there.

For HX2000 users which NOT have H_ROM Version

Download all the necessary files at http://depositfiles.com/en/files/1799963

Follow this step carefully:

1. downgrade whatever version you have now to WWE-hx2000_PPC03_downgrade

2. upgrade to WM5 "L" ENG build with hx2000_1.00.00.L_ENG

3. upgrade to "H" ENG build with SP32408_1.00.00.H_ENG

4. upgrade "H" firmware image from SP33003_1.02.00.H_ENG, but BEFORE you press UPDATE button, change the original nbf file with WM6.0 nbf file USING the FILE NAME EXACTLY like the original nbf in SP33003_1.02.00.H_ENG

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dancer_69:
I flashed my 2490b several times like this, and never downgrade to wm2003. I had the original sp3303 rom. I flashed first with sp32408 from bootloader mode. Then using sp32408 RUU and the device in bootloader mode, after the checking and before pushing update, I replace the original nbf from sp32408 with the wm6(renamed to the original's nbf name). After a clean reset all works with no problems

If anyone have could you tell me how to upgrade a hx2410 pda to wm6 from wm2003se de bootloader says wrong sku and i dont know what kind of roms needs to be uploaded befor fleashing the wm6 rom! Please write me some help!

Thx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Udillak:
bosstom,

first: you do not need bootloader for upgrading to WM5, just plug your iPaq and launch upgrader.

second: you need to flash in the EXACTLY SAME ORDER:

1.00.00.L -> 1.00.00.H -> 1.02.00.H -> WM6

third: for every flashing after 1.00.00.L use hpRUU flashing software supplied with 1.00.00.L firmware.

PS: ATTENTION!! This method is for hx2110 and hx2410 only. Every other model allready have "H" version firmware and do not need to be flashed with 1.00.00.L.

Please excuse me fo bad english as I am russian from 4pda community forum. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Candurin:
I've tried everything. I've tried to move the hpRUU .exe program to the 1.00.00.H and I've tried to move the 1.00.00.H ROM to the 1.00.00.L folder and rename the 1.00.00.H ROM. I've tried any combination I can but I keep getting the invalid SKU! error. I've tried both versions of the bootloader as well. I even downgraded to WM2003.

No such luck. No matter what I try to do, I cannot upgrade my hx2110 to WM 6.0.

Any other suggestions? Anyone else successful with an hx2110?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Candurin:
OK! I wasn't reading the directions completely!

I'm now running WM6.0 on my hx2110. It works great! Much faster than previous versions.

Basically, I was renaming the files and placing them in the hpRUU folders to soon. I haid to wait until the hpRUU program gave me a choice of upgrade or cancel.

Once I figured that out it was very easy and I'm now good to go.

If you have any questions just ask.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bosstom:
Thank You very much i will try this ersion i think this will work thanks again best regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Candurin:
I did not go to 1.00.00.L from WM2003, I went straight to 1.00.00.H and it worked just fine.

I'm even willing to bet that I could have gone right to WM6 from 2003SE using the boot loader.

Once the HP thinks that it is about to install one of the WM5 versions and you switch it with the WM6.nbf (renamed to the required WM5.nbf name) ROM it should work.

But, I went from 1.00.00.L>WM2003>1.00.00.H>1.02.00.H>WM6 with no problems.

Just wondering if we can streamline it and simplify the process :)

I succeeded upgrading to WM6 on my HX2410.

I had 1.00L, then -->1.00H-->1.01H(33752)-->WM6. My feeling is 1.00L-->WM6 should also work, at least 1.01H is not neccessary.

WM6 is really faster (than 1.01H than 1.00L) on my HX2410. Thanks everybody!

Hi guys, got it working.... Sort of... thanks a lot, wonder if you can help though... Have an Ipaq hx2110, and flashed in order can get into WM6 fine, however... when i clcik contacts it just flickers on and off again, the same is also true for live messenger, and also when setting up email the account sets up fine, but never seems to receive anything? also when i a create a calender entry it pops up " an unexpected error occured" and then i have to kill the exe to get rid of it. And final problem is that when creating a task i get the error " No program memory available" when there is? Any ideas? i really like it and just want it to work!

It worked fine for me then I bricked my Ipaq!!

Hi,

I just got an Ipaq hx2795 and I followed your method to upgrade to WM6, and it worked perfectly!.:) However, I saw a supposedly upgraded version of WM6 and i tried to install it, and too hastily I think. I did it without first removing my SD and CF cards. the upgrade said it went through ok on the PC, but it froze on the PPC, about halfway. ever since then, I've only been able to bring up the pda in pre-BL mode. Whenever I attempt to re-load any ROM (WM5 or WM6), I get the error message that the language of my current ROM is unknown and hence, the upgrade cannot go through. To further complicate my problem, I was trying to recover it about 3 nights ago and accidentally left the pda on all night in pre-BL mode. Now I think the battery is dead and I do not know how to charge it. Is there any resource or anyone that can help me with this problem? Is there a way to load the rom and Ignore the language setting on the Ipaq? What should I do now?

Please let me know ASAP and Thanks!!

WM6

Firstly a thank you to Pyro225 for telling me about WM6. Also, a big thank you to anavas, copenhagen, and all of the other people whose posts I used to get WM6 installed.

Pyro225, I was having the same problems as you (contact window not appearing, not being able to create tasks etc). However after doing a PS format, eveything now seems to be working fine (touch wood).

To do a PS format on my iPaq (Hx2490), I had to:

- hold down Calender, power and Message buttons (when WM6 is running), then press and hold reset with the stylus until the screen goes black

- release reset button

- release all other buttons.

The HP boot screen then appeared saying PS-Formatting at the bottom right.

When WM6 loaded back up, all was well.

Hope this helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anavas:
So far I see 4PDA W6 version is the best version of all other WM6 for hx2000 series, I see a WM6 version on PDAVIET site (kind of HTC Touch Theme) and I tried flashing but the A2DP fix (given by Udilak) is not working, so when I try to switch back to 4PDA WM6, I couldn't , I break my head in all ways and finally I did a flashing of HP official ROM and then flashed 4PDAs WM6.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Udillak:
Yes, this is absolutely normal, hx2110/2410/2415 all have 64Mb flash rom inside. WM6 firmware image size is 48MB, plus operation system needs some 1-2 megabytes for its purposes - so it's obviously normal that totall memory in internal storage is about 15Mb (partially used for some files).

Hi Copenhagem and Anavas, great to hear that PDAVIET WM6 is working, I saw it is from Sep/2007 - is it better than the 4PDA version ? Do you have a print screen of it ? And : Does anybody knows why 4PDA WM6 consumes more battery than HP's WM5 ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] copenhagen:
The version numbers (as shown in my previous post's pictures) of the pdaviet rom are lower then those of the 4pda rom.

However,

I have found that there are less errors (for me personaly) in the pdaviet rom. Also interestingly enough, the pdaviet rom was published on a newer (later) date then the 4pda, so is it newer?? (tuff call) is it better - I say hells yah, but ultimately you gotta decide.

The pdaviet rom comes with a SH|T awful ad filled boot screen, so I have tracked down and attached some wm2003 wm5 and wm6 boot screen installers. Check my big post for that.

The only problem I have run into so far is not being able to access the buttons applet, but I am looking at that right now. ** And aparently the cuplrit IS wba3.... if I disable wba3 I can access the buttons applet! PFFFFFFEWWWWWWW! Glad it isnt the rom

I would go w/the pdaviet @ this time. I've actually had none of the little issues; I had a few minor but annoying ones with 4pda. From what I can tell, even though the ver #'s are lower, the rom is better. Also noticed that because I did a clean install of the pdaviet rom, I have a ton more space then I did before (helps also that the author added some good apps to the rom.. like psshutxp and phm regedit... now you dont have to install them urself)

Good luck guys.

hp probably focused on power saving during the os implementation stage of their ipaq's development. Their rom updates made improvments in those areas... So i would imagine the first few wm6 rom's out for ipaqs (not having been developed by hp) are going to have issues, and the 4pda /battery thing is one of them. So far the pdaviet rom seems to handle power better, but I havnt field tested it yet.

I have an external iogear bt gps... its awsome, esp now with the pdaviet rom

and a fresh install... it connects b4 i even get into my vehicle...

have not tried the ad2p (spelling?) fix yet, as the 2490b is a non phone device so i just use it for gps and music (via the head phone jack to rca in on the back of my vehicle stereo) perhaps someone else can post their findings.

and lastly, the battery fix provided above.. i will check on this tonight and get back to you on my findings. I have some tips that should be followed though before trying the battery recalibration.

1. take out all your add in cards

2. make the suggested changes to activesync biodtect and all else they suggested in the post (see link above) because that will prevent your device from waking up during the battery charge periods..

3. disable any today plugings / ppc software that generate reminders / notifications. disable your bt and wifi radios and phone if you got em.

I use a today plugin called 'nopluginstoday' by icnus.(again spelling?) its awsome for knocking all ur today plugins off in one click from a tray icon.try it :)

just some suggestions to try. good luck Ill be happy if that fix works.. i get like 2 minutes out of a battery a year old. 10 seconds if i got bt and wifi on.

I was wrong about the pdaviet ver of windows live working...

ill edit the post to reflect this... however

CONFIRMED the above posted wlm setup does work... have been running it now w/ no problems for 3 days... again will add this info to my big post.

Also my findings on the battery recalibrate thing.

After allowing the unit to charge for exactly 30 mins, unplugging from ac, pulling the battery out, put battery back in, and plug in ac. wm6 loaded up and the battery info (in birdsoft battery watch app) was non existant,

This leads me to believe I had reset something... So i turned the device off and let it charge for another 4 hours.

Then soft reset.

Today when I pulled my pda from power in my car it stayed on with wifi and bt enabled for ~ 10 minutes or so, then i got scared and plugged into the cradle (just usb w/fastcharge enabled) so in that regard it is working WAY better.

BUT

right after I pulled it from power, b.s. battery watch immediately showed 0% remaining. And dummy me forgot to check what the wm power app was reading... tomorrow perhaps. So not a 100% fix.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Candurin:
I had the same problem at first. You have to run the rom using the original (L) rom first. Then after the first screen ("Welcome to the iPAQ update utility...") after you click next, there is another "pause" before you have to click next again, the next screen will say "verifying information on your ipaq". Then just before you click next again, THEN you switch and rename the ROMS. This will get you past the SKU error and allow it to load the WM6 ROM.
