[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samz:

thanks for the following people tried my rom, i know some of you still have some issues but i will do my best to help you out:

Vermillion

especially:

1. asbestos: you are a brave man with big gut. :) you are the first who dared to run an unknown "fishy" exe file on your machine but your effort cleared all the hesitates other people had

2. sheeeng: thanks for posting your result on the forum and offering an alternative download link for people who can't access rapidshare, appriciated it

3. aeropic: glad to hear your 2003 french rom flew to english, i will try to see if i can get a french version for you if you still wish and when i got time

4. bowmoreinfrontofafire: glad to hear your bricked ipaq came alive again, enjoy it

5. LuteK II: hope you have sorted out all the mess between tommy_adsl's rom and mine :)

for those who haven't share your experience with others, please do so if you have time

for those who just joined the forum and got my instructions, please stay here as long as you can, this is a great place

for those who got my instructions before yesterday that has a page link to ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-IPAQ-WM6-Upgrade-HX2410-HX2415-HX2490-HX2495-HX2495b_W0QQitemZ220218383266QQihZ012QQcategoryZ47103QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

i was shocked yesterday when i noticed that all the screenshots were updated from PDAViet's 18533 rom to, what a familiar look&feel!

i can't simply judge from that changes but, don't think i am a jerk, here were the actions i took:

1. i killed the download link

2. i posted my ebay item, sell it for 1.99

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250232653715

i am not going to make a fortune of that, actualy i pull out of my own pocket to cover all the fees in order to list it. i just hate thieves.

for those who still have problem upgrading your ipaq, email me and i will try to help out

for those who are unlucky and can't get the file before i shut it down, please view my ebay item, if you like, it costs you only 2 bulks.

for those who successfully upgraded, i appreciate it if you keep your copy for your personally use only

and again my thanks go to all and this is a great community!

Hi Guys,

Thanks to this forum and I have learnt lots of stuff. After taking knowledges from people on this site and a few days hard work, I think it's time for me to give something back to the community. This is my first contribution so I hope some of you will like my work.

Attached is the link to the WM6 ROM update I created for iPAQ HX2000 PDAs. I have my two hx2495b upgraded and everything works great: outlook, office, windows live, wireless, bluetooth, ... you name it, no power drain problem, no soft reset, fast, reliable, I really love my work.

I don't have any other hx2000 series model to try but I certainly confident that it will work with all models in the series. Here are some screen shots FYI.

Please don't flash your ROM using the file downloaded directly, you could brick your device and I am not responsible for that.

Please message me and I will send you detail instructions on how to install it. I will honor every single request. please allow at least 1 min, at most a day to get my response.

!!!WARNING!!! if you are a junior member and this is your first time flashing your rom, please let me know and I will give you instructions as more detailed as possible.

Also please do not waste other people's time by pm them and asking for the instructions. instead, you can use your time walking through this and other threats and topics. you really can learn lot of stuff here, you can transform yourself from an always "eating out" person to a DIY cooking chef like me. :)

So far we have quite a few people successfully flash their rom, the devices range from low end 2110 to high end 2790, the original rom versions include 2003 to 6. this is very encouraging.

There do have some hiccups though, here are my suggestions:

1. if you see a symptom where when you close a program and you see some "artifacts" on the Today screen, this most likely is because that when the rom was cooked, the registry settings for today's items were not cleaned up, so to quickly fix this just enable/disable some items or reorder them through today's setting

2. if you successfully flashed the rom but your device doesn't start, simply remove your CF card and reboot again.

hope you who successfully upgraded your rom will share some experience here.

Enjoy it!
