Hi,

are the CF-Problems fixed? If so, could you publish it?

Thanks

Has the upgrade been accomplished? And what's the procedure

Hi guys

I haven't visited this forum for 6 months. I have an iPaq 211 with WM6.0, and I'd like to upgrade* to WM 6.1 or WM 6.4/6.5. Now, I don't understand what's the upshot of this thread. Has someone succeeded in: a. finding how to flash the iPaq 21x ROM, and b. Has someone posted a working, tested WM 6.1/6.4/6.5 system build, which can be flashed into the iPaq?

Thanks in advance

Gail

_________________________________________________________

* I'd like to upgrade mainly because of the btpan1/ WiFi conflict in the iPaq 211. When you connect the iPaq using btpan1 to a PC, and then connect the iPaq to a WiFi network, the Bluetooth connection stops working. It restarts the moment you disconnect the WiFi link.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XtheOne:
a. A flashloader for flashing from SD is available. We have a RUU tool but no tools yet to build an nbf file.

b. On brighthand you can find a kitchen and some ROMs to test with. A newer 21896 build is in development.

* I did not know of this bug, will add it to the test list. What ROM version do you have?

Hello,

Any news about English rom for IpaQ 212 ? 6.0 or 6.1 ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gkleding:
WM 6.1 and 6.5 at Brighthand

Have you been over the Brighthand? Most developing has been going on over there. The 2 WM 6.5 I made with Globalbus ROM Kitchen are here

Lite http://rapidshare.com/files/371553151/LiteHPImage.bin

Full http://rapidshare.com/files/371511086/HPImage.bin

You will still need to go over to Brighthand and grab the NB0 file and flashing instructions. There are more ROMS posted over there also. I have been running the 6.5 for several months and have had no real issues. One thing you will notice is Bluetooth is turned off, and does not show up in Wireless Manager unless it has been turned on. I use BT all the time, so yes, it works fine. Other than that, everything works great.

Have a great day

Sunday

Oh, be sure to rename LiteHPImage.bin to HPImage.bin before flashing!

Hi everyone,

I know that there are way more up to date devices than the ipaq 212, but I am wondering how to upgrade the ROM from wm6 to wm6.5 I have all of the files.

I have tried to get it into bootloader mode with the bldiag.nb0 file and the HPImage.bin file on a Fat32 formatted sd card, but I can't seem to the iPaQ 212 into bootload mode. I have held the calendar and windows keys an pressed the reset key with the stylus and it just does a normal soft reset.

Is this the correct way of getting the iPaQ 212 into bootload mode?

Is this there a better method to update the ROM?

All suggestions are welcome!

Cheers.

2. The option to shoot 40mp photos randomly disappears and I'm left with 10 as my max resolution.

3. Is there a way to have hdr remain as a constant?

4. I have EVR-L29 and both YouTube and Netflix appear to be only working on a very low resolution. Any ideas? I even confired widevine was L1.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] NexusPenguin:
Hi guys,

I have the mi Max 3 unlocked, with TWRP and rooted.

I have been running it with RevOS and now with GSI Havoc...

But there seems to be a real problem with the GPS ! It's super slow...

A fix takes about 30 seconds sometimes even more (in the same location, the Honor Note 10 fixes in 3/4 seconds).

And while I traval => "GPS connection lost" happens quite often and it also happens that I get "Searching for network".

Is there a "radio.img" or something like that that I may have to flash to improve things ?

Do you guys have the same when using GPS (like Waze) ?

Or is my device defective ? Should I try to reflash the global ROM for this ?

Thanks for your answers.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] AsadP2013:
I use Xiaomi.EU Rom 8.11.15 (last Oreo updated), used Waze first time this morning and locked in incredibly fast.

Maybe down to the OS you are on?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

Maybe the OS. But now I am using Havoc OS Pie and I have the same problem :( Super slow fix : like 30 seconds and up to 1 or 2 minutes.

Will try to reinstall original MIUI stock but I fear to get a device with ARB protection (which I would like to avoid).

Regards.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] AsadP2013:
What version are you on?

If you are MIUI 10, don't go below MIUI 10.

If you are on MIUI 9, like I was out of the box, 9.6.12, you cannot go down. anything above 9.6.8 has ARB really.

I got soft locked and I had to use MiFlash to restore Global ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] nijel8:
...or you just clean up the miui from all the ARB related sh*t before flashing it...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] NexusPenguin:
Hi guys,

Thanks for your answers...

Definitely ROM related.

I restored stock MIUI 9.8.6.0 (last official with no ARB) and Xiaomi.eu 8/8/9 (latest non official with no ARB) and with those, I got a GPS fix within seconds...

And that quick fix is reproductible...

So : there goes RevOS, which is a pity : it was superb and with lot of added customizations abilities...

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Thanks for the link.

But I must say that I am a little anxious about that :(

First : it is unclear if I have to LEAVE the listed files in the FW-update folder or if I have to take ERASE those ;

Second : is it confirmed that if I do that, I won't have ARB on my device ? Because it seems that the author is just "speculating" about this and asks for confirmation...

So if you could provide a little more details, I'd be a taker :)

Regards.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] nijel8:
Those are the files you should flash. All others not listed you delete along with the lines in updater-script/flash-all.bat. Haven't tested it myself b/c I don't care about MIUI and I only flash boot, system and vendor to test my stuff I work on. But later on I will have to test it b/c I will need vendor and firmware for my next project. So although not tested these files should be ARB safe, the rest of them removed are bootloader related where ARB resides. But with anything Xiaomi I can't be 100% sure until test it personally. What I can asure you is no ARB if you flash boot, system and vendor only...

[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
Has anyone figured out a fix for this other than changing the bootloader? Some sort of build prop edit or something?

I'm so frustrated with how locked down Samsung, or as I call them "Sampple" (Samsung apple) is becoming.

I've tried downgrading the bootloader in Odin. With phone bootloader update checked, it either fails or freezes (when I remove md5). Only other idea I had is installing the bootloader portion afterward in twrp but I'm not sure if that's ever been done (successfully) before or if it's even possible at all. I did just today try using the build prop from nougat on marshmallow, this didn't work either... Thought maybe if the bootloader thought it was 7 that would be enough, but nope.

Everything else works perfectly, this is driving me crazy! If we know what we're doing well enough, and we purposely bought the model that comes with unlocked bootloader, why not make it *truly* unlocked? Give us an extra security warning on first boot of an older OS if you have to to cover your own butts, but let us do what we want...

I want that chunky touchwiz look and feel that everyone else hates. But custom roms come with too much of this or that having bugs or being left out altogether.

I already know the s7 isn't getting pie either, cuz that actually brought on a touchwiz feel to the "naked" OS, but everyone likes it now cuz it's not Samsung. Hardware wise I like the layout of the buttons and the fact that they're not just on screen (until s8 anyway). Maybe I'm old school but I like it.

To Google this downgrade issue, so so many people for whatever reason want to downgrade, yet they're making every effort to lock up their devices even further. I don't get it. Imagine how many happy people there would be if they released an update which then let us "legally" downgrade!

(If this is in the wrong area, someone feel free to move it! )
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you have one of the Samsung devices that has a bootloader that blocks downgrading the firmware, you aren't going to find a way around it, people have been trying to do that for several years with no success.

The best you might can hope for is you might be able to download a copy of the downgraded firmware and a copy of your currently installed firmware, then take parts from the downgraded firmware(system.img, zimage, etc) and replace them into the copy of your current firmware, then repackage and re-sign the firmware into a modified stock firmware, then flash that modified firmware.

***NOTE***

I'm not certain which parts you will need to switch in order to get a working firmware that will successfully flash. The currently installed bootloader might not allow the modified firmware to flash without issues or it might actually work if you get everything put together correctly with the right pieces. You'll have to do your own steadying and researching to make this work.
[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
So, nobody has found a way to trick the bootloader? Rename a certain file or files to make it think the older software is the newer software, that way the bootloader and the user can both be satisfied with a fully functioning OS? I feel like with the high demand for the ability, surely someone has come across a way? Someone who knows more of what they're doing within the file manager in twrp?

I'm not opposed to more searching, it just gets in the way that most "solutions" on YouTube especially are to give up and upgrade your software, or use a total custom firmware. But they word it to look like an actual fix, not a tutorial on giving in.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I say again and expound, many, many, many, very, very, very experienced people have tried finding a way for years, not even a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, even after all this time. There is no way to crack it. No, there are no files that can be modified. The reason is because it isn't just software, there is hardware involved such that when the bootloader is first installed or updated via stock firmware update, there is a chip in the device(Qfuse) that stores that information, it can not be accessed or modified, if the bootloader is tampered with, it triggers Knox which triggers Qfuse on some Samsung devices, Qfuse is designed to actually "burn-out" rendering the device permanently hard bricked. I'm not up to speed on just how intricate the more recent Samsung devices have gotten with the hardware related security/anti-tampering measures.

Your question about TWRP is irrelevant because you have to unlock the bootloader BEFORE you can even install TWRP. So....no, not even with the built-in TWRP file manager.

As stated, the best you can hope for is to use the older software to package the newer bootloader(and other related files based on region and android version) into the older firmware then flash the newer firmware. With the correct modifications to the firmware, you can flash the newer software without violating the bootloader because you'll be using the same bootloader.
[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
I have twrp installed, with super SU, it is rooted. That in itself isn't the issue. So it's "unlocked" to a degree. Knox is already tripped so I'm not worried about that, I didn't buy a warranty anyway cuz I knew I'd want to root and debloat.

But the older firmware being used with a newer bootloader is from my reading what is causing the beeping instead of vibrating. This was more what I was trying to address when asking is there anything able to be modified to re enable true vibration despite the bootloader version and firmware version being different. I can flash ap cp and CSC from marshmallow with no issues at all, besides the vibrate not truly working. It's when trying to flash bl too which is causing the "sw rev check". That's what I don't understand on Samsung's end. It's unlocked.... But it isn't, not *really*. Unlocked should mean able to use any firmware you want as long as it's specifically for your device and region. But that's frustratingly not the case. They should know they have advanced users who want to do these things and know how. Those who would screw it up beyond their own repair don't know what rooting is to begin with (for example my mom, she barely knows how to use it as intended, she's not about to mess with Odin let alone twrp and root). They've probably dealt with more customer service issues locking things down so hardcore and people trying to work around it, than they would just letting things be modified.

It seems the only thing I can hope for is a way to enable the vibration again with the differing bootloader and firmware versions. Or, being able to use add ons/hacks to make nougat or Oreo look the way I want while still being newer to keep the bootloader happy. From marshmallow I want the more basic menus in settings, those shortcuts at the top of settings would be handy too. And I'm also a big fan of the "chunky" look that that version of touchwiz has in the notification area. I also much prefer sliding the toggles over instead of having to pull down twice to see all toggles. They took the touchwiz out basically for nougat and Oreo, I'm only looking to put it back in one way or another. I'm a big fan of the Samsung theme store which is why I'd like to keep things Samsung based too.

I thought of trying the superman rom but since it uses Samsung components, I'd run into the exact same issues trying to use the marshmallow version of that rom.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What you're looking for is to use the kernel from the firmware that supported vibration, this "should" fix that. I say this because the kernel is what tells the software how to use the hardware, in a manner of speaking.
[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
Which part of the firmware is the kernel located in? It certainly sounds worth a try... If I can find it that is.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Typically, in Samsung firmware, the kernel is in the "zimage", the zimage is typically located in factory.fs image.

Try doing a google search for:

"How to extract kernel from samsung firmware"

That should find more than one guide to follow.
[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
Is this something I'd be able to find via twrp? I know it would be a longer way. But, install nougat. Scoot through twrp to find the files needed, copy to external sd card. Then install marshmallow, but then paste/over write the files there?

I've been browsing a little within the files on my own, just to have a look not to modify yet, but keep coming across "boot image file is corrupted" in windows, but I know they're not as I can flash those same images to my device with Odin and they flash and work no problem, if I wanted to run 7 i can, or 6 without vibration I can, everything else works just fine. So I'm getting a false error it seems. This is with using the Linux diskinternals reader too. Most tutorials I'm finding show that method. I'm hoping maybe to find some alternate way.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Not really, you need to extract it from the stock firmware file itself if you want to make a flashable copy.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Then again, you could extract the kernel .img, then use terminal emulator with dd commands to install the kernel on your device, it would require knowing the exact dd command for your device based on its partition structure to make sure the kernel gets flashed to the correct partition on your device.

You might also be able to use TWRP to flash the kernel .img, it has the ability to flash .img files if you know how to get to that feature in TWRP.
[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
I haven't yet been able to find a file named kernel with a .img extension. I've found a couple files named kernel, but they don't show a file type at all, in fact windows properties just say "file" under type. That was looking around in nougat, I found that somewhere within the "meta data" folder. There was a file called kernel and a folder called ramdisk in the same area in nougat. In one of the folders within that meta data folder I found those.

In the marshmallow files at least on a brief look I couldn't find anything called kernel at all on windows anyway. Maybe without that mounting error I could. There was no meta data folder in marshmallow. I believe in nougat it was in the ap md5 but there's no such folder for marshmallow that I've found as of yet. Other than that, the main components seem to be the same. Just a matter of digging further to find that file I need.

I've thought about digging out my windows 7 laptop and trying that one instead of my windows 10 desktop to see if it makes any difference at all. With computers as with android, newer isn't always better!

Luckily I have the time to dig around and am in no huge rush. Would rather spend the time and research and start out on a proper OS i fully like than be rushed and have personal things on there I'd fear losing each time I experiment with it. Right now the only backups I'm worried about are for the OS itself, but that's not nearly as scary as personal/irreplaceable files ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You're looking for zimage. The kernel is in there.

Do a google search for:

"How to extract kernel from Samsung Firmware"
[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
If any of it worked I would. This is becoming so impossible. Windows doesn't know what to do with img files so it doesn't mount them properly and sees them as corrupted even though they're not so I can't look at diddley squat inside of them. To look up drivers for said img Linux based files for windows just brings up the actual windows system os disk image file which is not at all what I need. My idea of browsing through them in twrp failed horrifically because once you click the boot.img it only gives options to delete, chmod, copy, move.... That's where I read the kernel is in, but it's impossible to get to. I've tried disk internals and osfmount. The latter will at least mount the image but then it still doesn't open because parameters aren't proper. Odin doesn't seem to know what to do with created files either. Tried one ap with system from Marsh and boot from nougat. it does flash properly, but then That just leads to boot loop.

I then tried flashing the nougat boot file and then separately the Marsh system image. As 2 different files in Odin in 2 separate sessions manually rebooting right back into download mode in between. This failed too. Boot loop. Same as combined. I figured it would be but worth a try.

..... No wonder people give up

The only other idea I've got with the tools i have that actually work is to flash the whole nougat boot img section separately as a zip file through twrp after I've installed all the rest of Marsh in Odin but I have no idea how badly that would screw things up. Or maybe it would just lead to that same boot loop.

If anyone can direct me to some sort of img reading system for windows that truly works and let's you into the inner workings of the img files I'm all ears. My windows 7 and windows 10 systems both show the same error.
