[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] foulke:
Here is the translation :

(it was difficult to understand/translate)

---------------------------------

Links to most recent software :

If you want to update you must follow the procedure :

1*

open simplified chinese version :

you will get 5 files :

1 Device Software Update Utility.exe update software (equivalent to ATOM one)

2 diskimage_ver.nb0, system file . Size is fixed, you will not increase user storage size.

3 eboot.nb0, very important file (like BIOS for PC) when updating the ROM, this part is mostly responsible for bricking. Do not update without good reasons.

4 ExtendedRom.img, there is no external ROM in HP. If you transfer it to ATOM it will consume a few Mo more.

5 vl1d_pda_Ver.mot and nova_pda_033105.mot can both be used.

Before real update, there is an authentification phase.

diskimage_ver.nb0---->eboot.nb0---->ExtendedRom.img--->vl1d_pda_Ver.mot--->nova_pda_033105.mot

Updating EBOOT is very risky.

That's why we erase this file.

When application will want to update EBOOT, it will not find it and then exit. So this part will not be updated.

At this point, this file diskimage_ver.nb0 is already written in the ROM, so the update objective is done. This is the safest update method.

If an error or power off occur while updating diskimage_ver.nb, ther is no problem, you can start again this step.

2* differences between HP68X8 and ATOM found until now

Touchscreen, soundcard and keyboard

So transfering this 3 part should be sufficient.

Touchscreen and keyboard can be easily transplanted because they don't have a lot of interactions with other parts.

Keaboard have their own properties and can be cause of freezes. ROM update should not interfere with these properties.

When HP reboots, pressing twice the hangup key this will send same information as if you press once on ATOM.

Until now, Wifi problem seems to be linked with keyboard problem.

3* because HP don't have EXTROM, unlike the ATOM , the patch will install FM, camera, wireless management in the coresponding directories.

-----------------------

Since 10/14/2007

1 file explorer has been changed

2 USB key cannot be used

3 update of software locations and shortcuts

4 Wifi patch has been suppressed

Remaining problem is Wifi.

Atom will not update the version. This version is almost perfect, as I cannot update Wifi.

After upgrade :

1* Hard BOOT with WM6 is different than before :

point the reset hole and power on button : the display will inform that reboot is in progress.

Press twice red (??) key. If press once, this will do a normal boot.

2* Install patch package. After installation : reboot

3* enter in MMS server configuration. Special for China telacom and Unicom is alerady done. Other configurations can be removed. Default configuration can be used.

Things not to be changed :

1* do not update complete : do not change the EBOOT

2* reinstall system packages and contacts, even if SPB package is same model same system, it can raise problems. Use PIMBACKUP to restore. And if contact or system problems are met, do a hard reboot. If it is not the same version of ROM don't use the same SPB version to restablish the contacts.
