I own a HP 612C. This is my first PDA. So, I have no experience on updating phone OS to cook ROM. Can any experts help me up on advice the following items ?

1.I had update my phone ROM to 1.01.04 version. Is it possible for me to backup existing ROM before performing update to cooked ROM ? If yes, is there any instruction available ?

2.The major problem that 612C have is actually the battery life. Is Cooked ROM battery life longer than stock ROM, if yes, will be a great reason for the upgrade.

I hear ya on that one. When I first got mine, I could not believe it would DIE in a day!!!! I did some searching online and found a company in China that offered extended batteries. Paid around $150 for an extended battery, new bigger battery cover, and a desktop charger. Still have not bought a car charger yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alen_Infinite:
Well, if I am not mistaken, Mugen Power did have extended 3000 mAH battery. but too bad, that is not available at my place. I have no other choice. Just can wait for HP to release for the extended battery at my place.

Newer 6.1 ROM for 610/612/614

EDIT: I've also uploaded this to rapidshare

available here. it's based on the newest HP OEM ROM, 1.01.04.

you need to register first. i'd upload the file myself, but i'm at an internet cafe and have to go, sorry!

Have you already installed it?

it is on English?

How is your opinion about this rom?

Do you recommended?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] happycollin26:
Just about, backing up my data now. Looks in english from the pictures posted.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] happycollin26:
Some of it is in english. Its funny though, how it is.

It looks like an altered Rom image that people change to go faster, look different, etc. Its like the ones I installed on my Dell Axim X51v because Dell did not release WM6.

Back to the HP rom: Some items are in english, others are not. The one's that are not, you can understand what they do.

Also, under HP Asset Viewer, it states that I have a HP IPAQ 615c Business Navigator. It use to read, 612c. Don't ask me what made that label change.

UpDATE: I am 99 percent shore, this is an altered Rom Image. Icons are all different, busy cursor different, etc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Atlus:
Do you recommend?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] happycollin26:
Other then original icons changed, I do not see a speed difference. It’s just an altered OEM ROM image. IF only the author spoke English, I would ask what items they change from the original.

As for recommending, I would have to say no. There are just too many unknown factors plus the occasional language differences on certain items. Sorry. (I liked the original icons!!!!!)

Hey guys.... broke the mini usb jack in my phone. Anyone know where I can get it repaired? Been looking around on the net for a new phone with the same features but don't want to shell out alot of money. Thanks everyone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zoltair Wright:
A translation of the ROM info:

******

Just like the 20273 in Simplified Chinese, the XIP is ported from Xiao Qiao's 20273 base, while the OEM has been updated to HP's new official ROM 1.01.04. After flashing the OS version will appear as 1.01.04. The SYS was ported by someone on xda-devs (I've forgotten their ID, oops...)

ROM Specs:

1. OEM is the newest official one; in addition, the streaming player, battery manager, and HP Shortcut have all been upgraded.

2. Battery level is displayed as a percentage.

3. Used a Diamond skin for WMP.

4. The ROM has been made as clean as possible; software includes the official standard dialer, standard English keyboard as well as Samsung fullscreen handwriting 2.0, Office applications and Live Messenger, a small reset tool, a Chinese dialer [?], and a new version of USBtoPC.

5. Improved appearance of the system icons, which were taken from xda-devs

6. Standard page pool is set at 16 mb.

Many thanks to pdaclan's niezher for testing this ROM!

Not much else to say

I think there's a problem here with the battery status.

If battery level is at 49% for example, and somebody makes a call, phone will turn off. If I restart it it will be ok for as long there's battery power ( >10%). There are times where the phone will properly drain the battery and there are times where the phone will turn off just after battery drops below 50%.

I have the updated bootloader from HP where it supposely fixes a battery issue but still..

Windows 6.1 (5.2.20270 1.3.1)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Atlus:
Method firmware:

1) take the firmware file flash.dio

2) copy it to normal because microSD SDHC will not work.

3) shuts down phone (the power button)

4) Press and hold Mute + Record, and then push the power button.

5) There SDLoder

6) do not touch the phone until finish

7) After the firmware is complete, the phone reboot, waiting until all is loaded.

I recommend, charge the battery up to 100%

I do not take any responsibility for your actions, use at your own risk!

This instructions are included on the .rar file you download.

Please note that I'm not the creator of the ROM, I have no credit for it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gkleding:
When you say to unRar do you mean to extract the file? Is there a bootloader program I need or is it just pressing the correct buttons that inialize bootloader?

Good luck.

I have tried everything to flash my phone but when I try to put it into bootloader mode it just does a soft reset. What I believe I am doing wrong is the unrar process. I am using winrar to extract the dio file but I think this is wrong. Can you email the program I should be using?

This is the part I am doing wrong, I do not know what this is. I went to the link but even using a translater I cannot find my way to the program pw "PDAclan.com"

1) Unrar the file flash.dio using pw "PDAclan.com" (note that the "PDA" part is capitalized)

I installed the 1.4v ROM. Everything worked fine except that the HP background picture is not aligned correctly.

My concern is with the battery charging. The battery manager reports my battery is a lithium ion but I really have a lithium polymer battery. Charging goes well when the phone is on.

When the phone is off and charging, the LED never turns green despite the battery is full. If I press the power button when the battery is full and charger connected the LED turns green immediately.

I'm not sure how serious this is, I don't want to overcharge the battery as the battery manager doesn't work correctly.
