I do have similar sycn problem with version b39 before, I try to reinstall ActiveSync and reboot my phone all the time. However, I found out that the problem only occurs when I switch on the Bluetooth. I have no problem after switch it off. Try it.

Many thanks to helloworld1

Successful upgrade to 6.1.

I copied the file to the flash card using active sinc 4.5, not with a card reader. No problems at all, it a kingston 1gb.

Edit: I left you some coffee, afraid not much but am just a poor student :)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Thank you. It is very kind of you. I think it is not the card reader but card's problem that causes the unsuccessfully updating.

Helloworld1,

Am i suppose to delete all the strings containing the prefix RichEditHostFont? Means i have to delete 3 strings altogether? including the one which has sc_song as a value?

delete only RichEditHostFontFace is OK, and then do a soft reset.

Do you setup your gprs connection correctly. If the auto configuration do the job, there shouldn't be any problem.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kjskho1:
Hi Helloworld1, I flashed 20080411b92 and encountered few issues:

1. Chinese Input CE Star from Mobem hangs the device. As installation requires reset, upon reset the device hangs at Request Phone PIN screen.

2. When you talk on the phone with its speaker phone feature, then you hang up. The speaker phone icon is still on the task bar. When you make 2nd call, the call is not in speaker phone mode but the icon still there.

3. I'm from Malaysia and using Maxis service for my phone. There are 2 settings for this service provider, Maxis GPRS and Maxis 3G. The setting for 3G (Maxis 3G) exists in b46 but not in b92. Also, the MMS setting is also not configured according to service provider setting.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] m4rc3l1n0:
hi guys

my ringtones software (aka RINGO) won't play the ringtones whever there is a call in

I tried ringo for wm5 and ringo for wm6 still no luck

is it something wrong with the ringo software or the registry?

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] m4rc3l1n0:
guys

i solved my own problem only to find another problem

i change the regsitry entry for ringo HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\sounds\ringtone0\ with sound value=\program files\electricpocket\ringo\

and copy this file to ringtone2

and voilah my ringtone problem solved

buttttt now my sms ringtone won't work

any idea? or registry tweaking 101 anybody?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] dalijo:
yes, my setup is correct, with aouto config.

first connect after soft reset is ok

the probelm ocure when i want to connect it back

just hang, can't close connection manager but start menu still accesible

i'll try reflash with your new rom & see if this happened again or not
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
my answers

1. Chinese Input CE Star from Mobem hangs the device. As installation requires reset, upon reset the device hangs at Request Phone PIN screen.

a: try some other good, free im like plum ime or zta4. I personally prefer plum 6.

2. When you talk on the phone with its speaker phone feature, then you hang up. The speaker phone icon is still on the task bar. When you make 2nd call, the call is not in speaker phone mode but the icon still there.

a: no such problem on my device. Long press the green dial key to activate laud speaker.

3. I'm from Malaysia and using Maxis service for my phone. There are 2 settings for this service provider, Maxis GPRS and Maxis 3G. The setting for 3G (Maxis 3G) exists in b46 but not in b92. Also, the MMS setting is also not configured according to service provider setting.

a: auto configuration is a little old, you may need to config it yourself.

do u know any alternative for handwriting? plum n zta dont come with handwriting :(

hmmm... did u try it this way?

1. make a call.

2. long press activate loud speaker.

3. end the call.

4. is the loud speaker icon still show on taskbar?

5. make another call (is the loud speaker icon still showing).

6. the call is in normal mode but loud speaker still showing...

if u cant reproduce the problem using above, then perhaps it's isolated problem to me.

yes, no big deal to me as i hv all parameters for manual config. i meant to suggest if future release can include the config files from b46 rom. :)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
First, the laud speaker icon isn't here after I end the call. And after anther phone call, I need to long press "call" again to activate the speaker mode as well as the icon.

My WM6 clean rom uses the atom's auto configuration, but it pop up an error after configed. In order to fix this bug, I replaced it with the one in HP 6828 WM5 ROM and have no such problem. I can upload a better auto configuration.(use it in setting panel and after done just delete it to save space).

all the other roms for atom is so screwed(dirty) compared to helloworld's 6828' rom
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
There are many free tools to do this job. You can search out very easily in this forum.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
No you can not do that because the device driver is different, mostly because of three drivers: ddi.dll,pxa272keyboard_us.dll,wavedev.dll. Maybe if you replace there files with atom's, this rom may work. but unfortunately I do not have a atom, so I cannot test it myself. I can replace drivers for you but will you do some volunteer testing job for me?

PC method fail with error can't create diskimage_ver.nb0

Hi, Fantastic rom, but I tried several times using PC method, and the Device Software update keep saying fail diskimage_ver.nb0, I tried the b95 and b92, after running the jar to add 12 byte to the header.

BL 1.0.01. Anybody had similar issue?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] atwcc:
I tried that before and get exactly the same message as yours. Ended up I flash with miniSD card. Use Tomato or Kingston brand (<= 1GB). They have proven working.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I don't have a chance to update using a PC. Maybe the RUU along with my addheader.jar only works for WM6 rom.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I PMed you. Check it.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] GraeFNZ:
Hi

RUU and addheader.jar work fine with your WM6.1 roms. Its the only way I flash as my mini-SD card is 2GB and won't work for flashing.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] effendy:
But I didn't use RUU, I thought RUU is only needed if you want to downgrade the BL from 1.00.5 to 1.0.1?

So how did you do it? do you download the original IPAQ rom then replace the RUU with the one form this thread?

Thanks

Can I extract wm5 rom update which include hpRUU, then replace the hpRUU with the one froom this thread then rename the rom which had been added 12 byte to diskimage_ver.nbf?

hpRUU seems to be lookinig for file with *.nbf
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
You should use attached atom RUU, not hp's. atom's only works for 1.01 BL. You will need to downgrade BL.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Thanks for informing that. Those who can't may misunderstand part of the procedure.

Modified RUU

Just finished updating my RW6818 via PC (RUU mode), Had a hard time flashing via memory card. So i took the liberty of uploading the 20080411b95Update9 with the added codes and modified RUU. These are the actual files that I've use, it worked for me but no guarantees.

ENTER BOOT LOADER MODE (press both softkey (-) (-) and push reset) - your pc should detect your phone in bootloader mode.

1. Unzip the package below to c:\windows\temp (replace all)

2. run Device Software Update Utility.exe from c:\windows\temp

3. Click on Update Item "All" use cursor keys to change it to "OS ONLY" then hit next

**** SELECT "OS ONLY", if you cant change it to "OS ONLY" DONT PROCEED!!!

4. It should detect your device as Model 0 etc.

5. Flash your device and wait for it to finish flashing after 15-30mins.

Note: You should have 1.01 BL else it wont work.

http://qshare.com/get/180184/6828-WM61-20080411-b95.zip.html
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Thanks for sharing your experience, I will post it to the second thread so that others can read it easily.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] effendy:
Awesome rom

Finally I manage to get my 6828 flashed using RUU.

I had BL 1.0.1

I use the RUU for atom downloaded from another thread (I think it is PDAVIET).

- unzip all the file to c:\windows\temp

- padded 20080411 with addheader.jar and copy to c:\windows\temp

- run the "Device Software Update Utility.exe"

- click on update item, and use arrow key to select "OS ONLY"

- select next and wait 30 minutes for all to complete

- black screen appear on the device saying it is cold booting. This take a long while

- I can see the win 6.1 screen, and let it complete booting, took a long time.

All happy.

Note: if RUU hang while detecting your device, kill it from the task manager and start again.

The first time I click on camera apps, it hang, and works the second time after reboot.

Thanks helloworld1, now I can use my phone's smart dialler properly, the whole reason I did this is to get my phone to work the way it should with smart dialler.

Any chance to get the instruction to cook the rom? I was thinking to add all my favourite apps as OEM.

Installed successfully but ...

Hi helloworld1,

I had successfully installed the latest WM6.1 rom for my IPAQ 6828 and it works fine but I found out that I couldn't use ActiveSync as well as a modem. I'm using Vista and it needs a proper driver such as Windows CE USB and Windows USB modem in order to work just like my previous WM5.0.

I wonder if there are driver available for these? What about ActiveSync? Do you have a workaround on this?

The rest are so far okay ... :)

Keep it up.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I have also noticed that battery life is slightly shorter but only slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes shorter on my device. But I do not know what cause it and very tough to debug because it will take me 6 hours to judge whether the battery life is longer. There is not any big problem in the current build, so new update has not been proposed.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
There is two possible way to increase battery life.

1. Install a battery saving patch.

2. Open activesync on the device, add a fake source server, change schedule both to manual, delete the fake source server, use task manager to completely close activesync.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] GraeFNZ:
If you are updating from PC, you need to add the 12 byte header to diskimage.nb0 to turn it into diskimage_ver.nb0.

You can do this using a hex editor or by using Helloworld1's addheader.jar java program which you will find on the first page of this thread.

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if there was any difference in BL 1.0.5 versus 1.0.1 and is there any reason why someone would prefer one over the other (apart from the ability to flash by PC)?

The reason I ask is that I was reluctant to try the PC method because I didn't want to downgrade the BL and so I went ahead with the flash via 2GB Kingston miniSD against recommendations. I ended up semi-bricking the phone (stuck on splash screen), but was able to semi-recover to WM5 via miniSD (again still stuck on WM5 splash screen) and then fully recover over USB via official HP ROM. Oh well, lesson learnt. I wont attempt again until I get a smaller card or I downgrade my BL.

Thanks for all your work helloworld1 and keep it up. It's great that you are able to give us rw6828 owners a choice, unlike HP. :D
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] admin22:

Change this to around 7, should be loud enough

change the InitVol of ringpreview as well
