Hi,

I have just upgraded my HP rw6815 to WM6. In general I am very happy with the new ROM. I have one minor problem - after upgrade my blue led stopped to indicate that the WIFI is working. For the bluetooth there is no problem (blue led is blinking). I have repeated upgrade one more time - problem still remains.

Any ideas?

Of course the pda-hack.net_rw68xx_ExtROM_emul.cab has been istalled correctly.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Bigu1975

Successfully flashed to my rw6828 WM6. So farhHere are some observation after the upgrade,hopefully fixed in the future :) :

1) No Blue LED blinking when WiFi is turned on.

2) Camera flash not working.

3) Wave effect on screen when device is reset ( after on/off device in sleep mode ) the effect is gone...

the bluetooth headset that is a2dp do not work in 6828. no sound output at all. i think replacing old driver and stack in wm5 will work.

also the cpu clock is incorrect. the max clock is 520 but it should be 416. so it seems faster but battery consuming.

How can we change O2 boot screen to Hp 6815 boot screen?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] skatastamoutrasas:
Let's see if I am doing well so far:

I copy - pasted the diskimg.nb0 plus a folder named Cabs with all the cab files into the formated SD Card. Then I entered the card into my iPAQ 6815, pressed the left and right soft key plus the reset button and on screen now it has an HP Logo (HP Invert) plus down and right the PBL 1.0.5. The phone is plugged to the charger.

Am I in the right path so far?¨

UPDATE:

Well, I saw a O2 Logo if I am correct (I do not have the phone next to me so I didn't see it) and now I have a WM6 Screen that says Windows Mobile. Should I do something or I just wait?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] bigu1975:
1 - the same on my rw6815 (flashed twice), but on polish forum I read that for some rw6815 blue led is working fine for WIFI ?!?

2 - on rw6815 is working fine, but for this ipaq we need to install camera hack :)

3 - I made a lot of restart and it happans only once on my IPAQ
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] skatastamoutrasas:

Great

I have flashed Atom Rom today on my rw6828. It took about 10min. Everything works perfect except when wifi is on blue light does not flash. Those who could not do it with different types of Mini SD, my guess is when you format winxp's default is FAT32. May be FAT32 would not work. I did a FAT format. Works excellent!

Hi,

Lately I find it kinda ironic that people start to demand this and demand that rather than being a true beta tester and reports any bugs (if there are), not knowing that the good people who created all these good stuffs are doing it as a hobby at their own leisure time. They don't charge a single cents for the contribution they are doing now.

If you don't like some parts or features in the work, then please, do us a favor, don't use it. Trust me, it will make your life easier. Be contend with what you have now. Remember, this is an O2 Atom ROM ported to HP rw6828. What's wrong having an 'O2 Atom' display on your phone. If you are such a loyal fan of HP product and logo, by all mean please go and tell those HP guys what you want.

Clarification on RW6828 and procedure on the WM6 upgrade

Dear Arhon, roma_pop,

I sincearly seek your clarification on a few item below,

1. The HP RW6828 that is able to do the upgrade is it for the 128MB ROM with 64MB RAM ? and is not the titanium series right?

2. If the above mention device is correct, I will then follow the instruction on this post

http://pda-hack.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=50&st=0&p=461&#entry461

Downloading item

a)diskimg.rar (40,6 Mb)

b)Cabs.rar (843 Kb)

c)pda-hack.net_rw68xx_ExtROM_emul.cab (3,97 Mb)

Skip action 5 and 6

Then Extrac item (a) and (b) into the the SD card without directory

Then Create a Directory called "Cabs" and copy item (c) into the folder

Eject the Card from PC and slot into the RW6828.

Then to Start flash,

press & hold soft-keys, then push reset, after HP logo is appear, release soft-keys and don't touch anything. After flashing device automatic reboot in hard reset.

Then remove the SD Card and we are ready to go.

Is this how is should be in short?

Hi,

I've installed this ROM on my rw6815. Almost everything is fine, but... :)

I've found bug - I think it's connected with memory usage. My rw6815 hangs up when:

- I open big WWW page

- I connect my PDA to GPS via Bluetooth and after about 10 minutes it hangs up when using my navigation software (www.automapa.com.pl)

- somebody send big MMS to me (with small MMS everything is ok).

Is there any patch that can fix this bug?

im trying to update my 6815, i followed the instructions but I only have a 2 gb Kingston mini sd card.

For HP iPAQ rw6815:

1. ATTENTION! For best results recommended to use 128 Mb - 1 Gb miniSD cards by Transcend, Kingmax, Kingston 512 Mb and smaller

2. diskimg.rar (40,6 Mb) - main OS, decompress this archive in SD Card root directory

3. Cabs.rar (843 Kb) - default packages, installing automatic after flashing. Put needing packages into '\Cabs' directory on SD Card

4. pda-hack.net_rw68xx_ExtROM_emul.cab (3,97 Mb) - some applications needs ExtROM, this package can emulate it. Install after flash or put it into '\Cabs' directory before flashing for autoinstall

5. SdkCerts.cab (4,59 Kb) - certificates for patches (in the "cabs" folder)

6. pda-hack.net_hp_rw6815_camera_patch_wwe.rar (594 Kb, english interface) - patch for camera (start old HP application), install AFTER certificates

7. To flash press & hold soft-keys, then push reset, after HP logo is appear, release soft-keys and don't touch anything. After flashing device automatic reboot in hard reset.

on my sd card i have diskimg.nb0 and a folder called "cabs" with the cab files in it. I didn’t put the "pda-hack.net_hp_rw6815_camera_patch_wwe.CAB" on the sd card.

when i push the 2 soft keys and push the Stylus in the bottom. it shows a white screen with the blue hp logo and pbl1.0.5 at the bottom right for 5 - 10 mins then reboot in to wm5 with everthing the same.

Can someone help me to find out why its not working ?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] zeridos:

I've seen also that the atom exec has a different cpu clock (more then 416 of my 6815). Could be a problem? (maybe the battery life time?)

Flashed my rw6828 successfully. A couple of issues I've observed so far:

(1) A2DP doesn't work

(2) wifi LED doesn't blink when wifi is turned on. BT LED works fine though

Apart from these two issues, it's working like a charm. Of course to conserve battery life you have to underclock the processor to 416Mhz using XCPUScalar provided in the links that ArHon provided on his site.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] homer285:
What happens if you remove the battery and put it back in, does the screen flicker?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] wr6969:
Just tried it, no problems. No flickering, no screen/display discrepancies whatsoever.

Apparently the fix for the non-blinking wifi-when-on LED is out, I'll try to flash the latest ROM and report back soon, if my device survives the flashing!

I've upgraded my RW6828 to WM6 following the guide in http://pda-hack.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=50&st=0&p=461&#entry461 and also noticed the A2DP problem.

HOWEVER, it seems to work for just a short while, ie: the headset appears and syncs as "Wireless Stereo" but when you play a music file no sound comes out, but I've found out that if you open your music player (WMP in my case) and THEN you turn on your A2DP headset and make it sync, it'll work as long as you don't turn WMP off.

Hopefully this will be fixed in the future.

In the meantime, WM6 seem more stable than WM5.

Thanks to all the people that made this upgrade possible!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] wr6969:
Great find on the A2DP workaround!

Excellent find, not4us! This workaround works like a charm, I'm now able to enjoy A2DP on my 6828 again. As you mentioned, let's hope this is permanently fixed in the next release by the great guys at pda-hack.net!

Can you tell me your ActiveSync Connection Mode?

(RNDis or USB Serial mode)

When i select the Rndis mode, there is no problem on the device manager, all i get is a connection error from activesync, so it recognizes the device but can't connect.

When i select the usb serial mode, there is a device that appears with a yellow question mark with a name "Windows CE USB Devices" on the device manager. So i guess this is my problem with this connection mode. (also i couldn't find the correct drivers)

first i connected with bt, then put the device to the cradle. the firmware upgrade process started on bluetooth, then the hp screen came up. at that time bluetooth connection was disconnected, now it's on the white hp screen and it's connected using the cradle.

So i guess this means, the problem was not about my pc since just after that white screen, there was a new device named "HP USB Sync" so i guess the unrecognized device with the name "Windows CE USB Devices" was that one.

I'm still wondering if you were able to sync using "USB Serial Host Mode"

Hi there, I have also successfully flashed my 6828. It's working great. Thanks to all those involved!

There is one issue however, in that I can't work out how to connect the wireless. It is different to the original HP menus and the wireless manager does not seem to be able to turn it on. If I go to wifi settings it gives me the network adapters page, and I don't know what to do from there. If I go to settings/connections/wifi utility I can see my network in site survey, but I can't find a way to connect it.

Has something messed up? Am I missing something here?

I would really appreciate some help as i use the wifi all the time.

It is a bit complex to turn a CHT / CHS ROM to WWE. I cannot write the steps in a few sentense, but deal with selecting "PACKAGES" from the COOKING TOOLS (for best stability) or make changes to the default.hv user .hv (lookup 0804 --> 0409) and as well as the IME's and keyboard changes. Please take concern on one of the keyboard drivers too (CHT & CHS use hwtouch.dll but WWE use touch.dll). Amend the initflashfiles.dat to build up a English directory & file structure......many....many more....bla....bla.....bla....
