GSM firmware

It does not contain the gsm radio firmware. It contains os part only, so it won't override your gsm part. The latest gsm is 0.34, if anyone want to update, you have to do a normal wm5 update and then update this one again.

Note:

It is said that renaming the gsm firmware to mot.mot then copying to a sd card will flash it separately. But I fail to do so.

This is really an issue. Once connected to USB through internet sharing, the pc doesnt reconize the device as a modem,thus it fails to install. Hence no internet connection happen. I have another Hermes100 and this device immedietly recognized and internet on the way,no problem. So I think there is something with HP device that is not quite right, either hardware or ROM matters.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] roma_pop:
In Hermes you got WM6?

On jiggs ROM was old "Modem Link", but in all others just "internet sharing".

For me, to make "internet sharing" as modem connection for internet in laptop was unsuccessfully in any others ROM either jiggs ROM ("Modem Link").

So at this time just available "internet sharing" with WMWifiRouter as Wifi access point, at least i think it's easiest way.

Sure , available separate cabs for "Modem Link" , but there is registry changing, after that changing i was problem with bluetooth and bluetooth OBEX (file transfer).

So if somebody has good solution either WMWifiRouter, please respond.

Thanks

Questions

Hello helloworld1,

Nice work with the clean ROM!!

I have been watching this thread and NHOCBANME's for 6828 ROM for long time, but I still have not make the move to upgrade, it is because I have concerns with stability and functionality issues that it may cause, and once I upgraded, I won't upgrade for a long time, reason is I rely on my device for work heavily, and can't afford to be a tester.

I love CLEAN ROM, so I think NHOCBANME's ROM may not be my cup of tea as it has been personalised with extra apps I don't use. But what I do like is he replaced the O2 boot screen with the HP's, do you think you can do the same for this CLEAN ROM? so it doesn't have brand conflict.

I'll probably wait until there's no more issues found by anyone, then I'll bite the bullet and upgrade.

BTW, how long does it take the camera to take a shot and store the image on the latest Clean ROM?

For those who has upgraded to the latest Clean ROM, can you please post more about your experience with the ROM? I'd like to hear about all the +'s and -'s.

Keep up the good work!!

Cheers,

K

Answer

1. The rom is very stable on my device. The battery performance is just like wm5. The problems is in the first thread, and is often updated.

2. I never care of the boot screen so Inever modify the picture. But you can modify it yourself by referring the sticky post on this forum. I may modify it if you cannot do the job and I have free time, maybe next month.

3. The camera works better than wm5 one. The start up and taking picture time is about 3 seconds.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] roma_pop:
For my RW6828 The battery performance is better then in wm5.

In WM5 was about 1.5 day on fully charged battery,

on WM6(clean ROM) was about 2 day on fully charged battery.

So in total , i'm very happy about this clean ROM, some problems are inherent to all WM6 ROM's.

From all tested by me ROM's , this ROM I like much more.

Waiting WM6.1 )

Cool Man!!! I have no excuse not to upgrade now :D Thank you very much!!!

Now, I just have to wait still Easter long weekend here before I can upgrade, I need at least half a day to get back to where I am with my installed apps and set up (well assuming I don't brick it).

edit: few more questions.

(1) Push mail and sync over gprs OK? I'm using this heavily and my major concern.

(2) Tomtom with bluetooth gps receiver OK?

(3) Anyone used Touchpal Pro keypad on this ROM? Runs OK? I mainly use this for text input.

(4) What apps has anyone tried to run and was successful?

(5) Infra-red beaming OK?

Sorry about all these questions... I'm a noob when comes to computing technologies.

Thanks!!

Questions

Hi Helloworld, or anyone,

Just today I realised my internal storage has decreased quite significantly despite I haven't done anything special on the 6828. I then found this MN1RIL.txt sitting in the device root folder taking up the space, trouble is, I cannot remove it, not even in safe mode, so I did a search around and found this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=349074 which reported that this file can grow as large as 50+mb!!

Do you have any idea what this file is? The file size is constantly changing, but always getting bigger and bigger.

Another question, is Touchpal input working on your latest 6.1 ROM?

Thanks,

K
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I do not have this file. There are several way to delete a file. Using resco explorer 6, you can rename the file and reset then del it. Also, you can change the attribute of the file without archive and with read-only attr. If succeed, reset device and del it.

If both can not work, you can backup w/o the file and restore.

TouchPal 6.1 Chinese edition(free) is working fine.

Hi Helloworld,

OK, I bit the bullet and upgraded the radio firmware (WM5), then proceed to upgrade WM6.1 110b, unfortunately upon setup, I can't access the internet at all via gprs, gprs connected no problem, tried everything that access the internet, just no go for me, and I can't see what else I can do other than the internet/modem setup.

So no internet, no push mail etc, I'm going back to b39 now :(

Check if the right network settings is loaded through connection -> advanced -> select network.

Check if the proxy is set.

Do a soft reset if the connection seems on but not get connected at all.

Try enter IP address to see if it works. If so, change DNS settings.

Note the WM6.1 series ROM contains the HP's old auto config program, it may do something wrong. Try installing the newer network wizzard to config the net.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Thanks for the quick reply.

It is running fine on b39 right now, I was a bit exhausted in stuffing around, may be until I hit the next issue, then I'll give it another shot.

I did soft reset about 3 times, and hard reset once (initial clean boot upon ROM flash doesn't count), internet was no go. My carrier doesn't use any proxy, so it was unchecked, and IP is DHCP assigned, so there aren't many places I can tweak. BTW, I couldn't find the GPRS setting for PAP/CHAP or that 4R1T or 3R2T, but that doesn't matter since it can connect no problem, just no data coming through.

Where can I find this newer network config wizard?

Edit: For those who uses Microsoft Exchange Server PIMBackup, be aware that use PIMBackup to restore SMS only, leave everything else such as contact, task etc etc to the exchange to resync, as I ended up double up everything!

Great WM6.1 and the most stable of all!

Dear Helloworld

i have updated (20080614 b110,update 12) and everything is working perfect! but just one thing about the camera, the Morph/Editor in the Camera application seems to be gone, and also the clip arts are gone too...i really play with that alot, is there anyways that u can put those back into the camera application? then i think this is really the most stable rom for the Rw6828.

Again thanks for your hard work...i dont think ill change my phone until it breaks...because its got now what a new and expensive phone on the market has now...

summary of all my problems

After flashing my 6815, I tried to reinstall my original ROM but:

installing original ROM WWE or in my language (ITA) via MiniSD (128MB) results in a complete installation, but at soft-reset (or hard-reset) my PDA doesn't go after the boot HP blue screen

installing the original ROM WWE or ITA via hpRUU patched doesn't function at all because the program (even if it is patched) says that the update is incompatible (as you can see in the image below), and I tested it with WWE and ITA rom

I have founded a script to add header to the original rom in order to use the "Device Software Update Utility.exe" (the one used for the "via PC" method), and it installs the original rom, but after softreset my HP stops at the boot HP blue screen (the same thing happened with the MiniSD method)

Then i tried to install NHOCBANME rom, but all versions 2 (2.01, 2.02 and 2.03) don't work anymore for me: after installation (via MiniSD or PC) my HP enters in a continuous boot cycle: it shows the HP blue boot screen and then it resets itself!!!!)

The only ROM by NHOCBANME that I can use are: 1.04 and 1.05!!!

Prior to every tests, I have changed my bootloader from 1.0.5 version to 1.0.1 via MiniSD method (by putting just the file eboot.nb0 on the MiniSD in boot mode)

Now I tried to reinstall BootLoader 1.0.5, but the problem doesn't change, so I must install the Update 12: 20080614,b110 rom to (or the NHOCBANME rom 1.5) to use my HP!!!

How can I turn back to my original HP rom?

Is there something other then boot and rom that can be damaged and reflashed?

PLEASE HELP ME!!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Hi Helloworld,

Sorry for bombarding you with troubles...

Everything seems going downhill from here...

The camera is now flickering non-stop, I used to get the flicker only 1 out of 10 soft-reset, now I am getting 10 of 10. Although I am still lucky that I hard-reset more than 3 times and soft-reset god knows how many times, it always booted the OS fine *finger crossed*.

And now I have this very faint buzzing sound coming from the LCD, yes LCD an not earpiece or speakers, when the LCD is on, I tried to cover the earpiece or speakers with my hand, the buzzing is clear and crisp, fingers over the LCD, noise is muffled, errr... When the room is quiet, I can hear it from half a metre away. Note that this buzzing is there even when 6828 is in Clean Boot screen. Any experience on this?

BTW: Is the camera in WM6.1 b110 completely fixed and flicker free? Looks like I might give b100 another shot, just hope the network wizard works.

Non SDHC 4GB mini SD card works fine.

&*$#* cables!

Yes, the cable thing is very strange, I have three different ones and they all do different things dependent on what you connect the 6828 to. There doesn't seem to be any common thing among any of them.

I installed SPB backup a couple of days ago, it looks good. :)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
I can say wm6.1 series almost completely fix the camera problem because I have found a way to patch 6.1 system. It is an dll file quartz.dll.

The noise is not caused by rom , I think. It is a hardware problem. Atom is known to have this problem. I have a palm tt3 which annoy me for about 3 years before buying my 6828.

BUT there is a workaround. Change the cpu clock(sys and lcd frequency) highes so the frequency of the screen buzz is higher and you will not hear it.

Note I do not have this problem myself. This is my experience on palm tt3.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
It's strange that when you said the buzzing is a hardware problem, I have had this buzzing long time ago when I was still on WM5, it just happened one day until I did an official WM5 ROM upgrade then it stopped. This buzzing came back when I flashed back from WM6.1 b110 to b39, ??? :confused:

Not sure how I can tweak the frequency though... :(

The camera on b39 is now completely not working, no amount of hard/soft-reset will stopped it, it either flickers like mad or just crashes, I think it has something to do with ROM flashing... is it possible that every ROM flashes are different despite using the same ROM? ... don't worry about this question, we have talked about this before...

I will try flash with b110 again tonight, just hope everything will just work... feel like a 3G iPhone now...

Update proposed!

There will be a major update to release recently. I need to test for a little longer time. It resolves many of the previous bugs but break some of the app's registration info (it changes the device's identity). If anyone who are interested in this update, please wait to download it if you haven't downloaded the latest. If not, stay the rom that you think is the most stable.

1. SYS: The HP certificated system, so some previously unusable HP oem app like photosmart will work.

2. SYS: Fix the bluetooth headset auto connection again. Try it!

3. SYS: The time after hard reset is now 2008 not 2005.

4. OEM: Now you can select the lowest backlight(which is very dim) in the settings -> backlight just like HP's WM5.

5. OEM: System information is now HP's that gives you much more comprehensive information(Not all are accurate though).

6. OEM: The GPRS mode switch program return. Thanks kusanagi for indicating that.

7. BUGFIX: Solve the problem that the "tasks" can not create new task through menu.

8. BUGFIX: Fix the incompatibility problem with SPB Pocket Plus( some features are not working well previously).

9. BUGFIX: Fix the incompatibility problem with various input method. You can install as many as you can and many Input method and keyboard problem are working fine now.

10. BUGFIX: The confusing hard reset screen now won't display. It do clean reset without that screen just like old HP's WM5.(Press and hold power button and reset.)

11. BUGFIX: Fix the problem that the system may halt when playing Solitaire. Thanks martinrmn for finding this hidden bug.

Sorry I forgot your post. I think the bootloader is not corrupt because the normal bl screen may be twinkle and faint. Does sd card method work? How about the hp's original rom(replace hpruu first)?

Anyway there is a way to flash bootloader. Rename the hp official's xxeboot.nbf to eboot.nb0, put it on a sd card , and do just like a normal sd flash. BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! If you are not sure if you can successfully flashed using card DO NOT TRY THIS.

I think I will stick around for the latest, because once I loaded all the apps back in, I will be very reluctant to upgrade again unless something is really broken, just like how I stuck to the b39.

I really would like to use the TouchPal which I believe would be fixed in the next upgrade along with other nitty-gritty issues, and at least one app I will have to re-apply for the registration code anyway, I might as well wait.

BTW, I realised the BT-DUN is working very well, however I've lost the "Beam File" service, as I was trying to beam file from my Mac with Leopard OS, it says service not available, how do I re-enable that? (I'm on b110 now)

I know your problem, the radio part corrupts but the bootloader is normal. The faint screen with lines is normal. The radio part should be reflashed!

I see you can use atom's ruu so use it to flash corrupt radio.

put following files in the folder:

Device Software Update Utility.exe(download from first thread).

DSUU.exe

diskimage_Ver.nb0(Add header java make this from any diskimg.nb0)

nova_pda_033105.mot(attach)

Hi Helloworld,

Since you mentioned it, this "faint screen" which looks like an interlaced effect on CRT TV, this only happened after I updated my 0.34 radio (WM5), then flashed to b110 then b39, it happened right when I flashed from b110 back to b39, and at the same time when the "LCD buzzing" started to happened, I thought they may be related issues? Not sure flashing back to latest official WM5 will help eliminate the problems? I was really concern about the BL was going to die/corrupt.

Firstly my hats off to helloworld1 (& kusanagi) :)

Had my 1st PDA (2nd hand m500) when my GM decided to upgrade his. Then carrying around 3 gadgets (PDA, H/phone & DigiCam) & 6828 is the answer. Now heard my friend had put life to his about to be discarded x50, I start searching to extend the life of mine.

When thru every single page of NHOBANME (first & was itching to flash) & your thread & the verdict, yours is what I'm going for (clean). b39 looks stable from kusanagi feedback & really itching for b110. Wish me luck & will keep a lookout for your next major update.

In the meantime all the best in your exam... Shall buy you coffee after trying out. Cheers.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
The faint screen means the screen's refresh rate is too low. It happens when you enter bootloader when the cpu is in deep sleep or no power at all. You are right, lcd refresh rate is related to buzz sound because the refresh current consonant with the thin part of screen. This may be caused by small flaw on the screen. If the screen parts are tight enough, the device won't whine!

Manually adjusting the frequency of lcd rate will get the screen part out of consonance.

If you are still in warrenty send to repair it quickly. Hardly can this symptom disappear itself!
