@blue_v4 @RussianGod

I already have an OPEN_CA Android 10 image running on my Velvet, so my starting point may be different than your own, but in LGUP, did you choose the Refurubish or Upgrade flashing process? Thanks!

EDIT: I'm also curious if anyone has attempted to change their OEM_ID in the ftm partition. If you look at the firehose comms in the comments above, the OEM_ID on my retail mode phone is 0x0000 whereas the output from @Wish39 on a real retail unit is 0x0031.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] blue_v4:
I chose refurbish and the mobile has been formated

Note: my mobile is demo version and as I read here only Korinan room will work

Hello guys. I have that of an LG Velvet Model is LM-G902V with Software version G902V10h. Can I use the KTF firmware you shared? Thanks
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] brilljohn:

[General Questions and Answers] ImpulsedGuy:
firstly, I flashed custom rom and twrp however after a month or so while using the mob it just switched off and started boot loop, therefore I flashed stock firmware to get it back as it was bought for the first time.

after flashing form Odin, it says “installing system firmware - 32%” and then shows “erasing” after a few min and then it reboots but gets stuck at boot logo “ Samsung galaxy s8+ powered by android”, nothing works, I’ve tried flashing again and same happens, doesn’t boot to recovery aswell…. Any help ?? Thanks
[Sable] Shappy:
I have 614c, with cooked 6.1 ROM. The radio is 0.88 and the product code ends with ABD ( German ).

When battery level is under 30% and I have a call longer then 5-10 minutes the ipaq turns off, but GSM is still working. When I finish the call and take a look to the device - it's turned off an I have to start it again. The problem doesn't occur every call, but 1-2 times a day. If battery is charged there is no problem. I've tried with other new battery but the same...

Thank you in advance !

Sorry for the bad english !
[Sable] paraklas:
I have the same issue when battery is <50%
[Sable] thebranded:
i can only think its a rom issue, maybe flash to a new one?

What exact ver rom you using?

i dont that responsibily for that though
[Sable] Zoltair Wright:
The same thing happened to me tonight. My battery was 30%<, and in the middle of my call the phone shut off. Strangely, the other person was still on the line and could hear me fine, but I couldn't hear them unless I pressed the power button and turned the phone back on. I'm using the 1.4 Russian ROM.
[Sable] Shappy:
I've tried most of avilable ROMs including original rom image ( from SD card ) but the same. May be we need to flash the RADIO ? But I don't know hou to flash the radio part, because my device is ABD ( German serial number )...
[Sable] Shappy:
I've finally found a solution to update non-english firmware ( incl Radio ):

There is cracked ROM updater with latest English OS and FW:

http://rapidshare.com/files/158055078/ipaq_614c_update.rar.html

Please try and post results ;)
[Sable] paraklas:
I have the same issue, it happens when battery level is <50%. I have tried fully charging the battery and then hard reset but still nothing. Turning off the BT has no effect on this.

ROM Date: Feb 18 2008

ROM Version: MP-1.00.03

OS Version: 6

Bootloader: MP-1.01.00

OS 5.2.20270 (Build 20270.1.3.1)
[Sable] paraklas:
So did you use this ROM?
[Sable] Shappy:
Yes ! Do the following:

1) Full charge your device, then update with the ROM i've provided. This is not only OS image, but radio and bootloader flash !

2) Download " Power source monitoring patch via SD card English" form the HP site.

3) Put the flash.dio in microSD card taht is formated ( no SDHC ).

4) Turn off device and insert the SD.

5) Press the Voice command side key + the Mute key + the power key for 2 seconds. "SDloader" will appear. Wait some seconds ( don't press anything ).

6) When the device boots up after the patch turn it off and make clean boot by pressyng "Voice command" + power for 2 seconds.

For me the problem is solved ( I've 2 614c devices and after the update they are working fine ).

P.S.

After this update the verisons must be:

FW: 1.01.04

OS: 0.88
[Sable] paraklas:
I assume just run the hpRUU.exe utility for the whole ROM/RADIO/BOOTLOADER ?
[Sable] Shappy:
yup ;) But you will wait over 30 minutes....
[Sable] paraklas:
Details, updating now. :D
[Sable] paraklas:
Just finished the flash. The ROM is WM 6.0, not 6.1
[Sable] Shappy:
Yes, it's the latest official update. Test it for few days and if everything is ok you can flash via SD card with 6.1. cooked ROM.
[Sable] paraklas:
I can say that the issue is fixed!!

Installed the ROM+RADIO+WAN+BOOTLOADER update

But I hated the 6.0 windows so I immediately installed 6.1 over 6.0, but the GSM/WAN/Bootloader remained the updated ones.

NO MORE ISSUES
[Sable] Sensi:
Hey Guys,

Which 6.1 ROM?

Hello,

I installed last official English ROM (HP iPAQ 610, 610c, 614, and 614c Business Navigators - English ROM Update 1.01.04

from 22 VII 2008), where is fixed power problem (I hope). Then I tested russian 6.1 ROM (ver 1.4) and some other czech ROM based on iPAQ 9xx from Z80(user name) and problem continue on both. I have

FW: 0.88

OS: 1.01.04

Boot loader 1.01.05

In my information is problem fixed only in 6.1 English(China) ROMs from PDAclan.com. Is it right? Or I have to install power fix too (I was not success when I try it)?

Now I installed 6.0 back (this 1.01.04 from 22 VII 2008) and i will check, if is same problem in official ROM. Which 6.1 ROMs you used, where is this problem solved?

News:

Original ROM 6.0 have same problem. Some minutes ago it shutdown with battery on 35%, when I received data from my email account.
[Sable] AlbertSmart:
Do your battery manager report the correct type of battery? I installed 20270 1.4 and despite my battery is a lithium polymer the battery manager reports it as a lithium ion.

Does anybody know how charging is handled in this system? Is it charging entirely handled by the battery BIOS or does the operating system manage the charging. If the OS manage the charging there is a risk that the battery parameters and curve is wrong.
[Sable] miroslav.turek:
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-polymer

In my opinion lithium polymer and lithium ion is same.
[Sable] Li Xiaoyuan:
Hi Sirs,

I just bought one 612(it is same as 614C) and the version is:

FW: 0.88

OS: 1.01.04

Boot loader 1.01.05

Unfortunately, we have same shut down issue. This issue will not happen every day. Average, it will happen every 2-3days. The machine shut down after I made a call around 15minutes yesterday. Then I push the power key, it began restart and the battery is 28%.

it make me many confuse, is it issue of hardware or software? Can it reslove by some special ROM version? I really like this phone, but this issue will give me big trouble since I must call and answer some important call everyday.

Do it is appreciated if you can give me some help. Big Thanks in advance!

[Sable] miroslav.turek:
I had same problem with turn off during call (or gprs/edge). It start at battery level 50%, when I used GPS or BT together. When I install original ROM, problem continued. I post iPAQ to HP service and they determine bad battery. More users have similar problem, may be bad battery set produced by HP...
[Sable] Li Xiaoyuan:
Hi Turek,

So the issue has been resloved after HP back the Ipaq to you? It is really caused by the battery? The Ipqa do not have problem? I just bought this 612 one week ago, i have chance to ask dealer to replace it by a new unit. So I really need know the final reason.

Many thanks for your help.

[Sable] axlastro:
Bad battery?

Hi there. I also seem to have the shutdown issue. I have patched with the power monitoring update and i have the last rom update by HP. I also think that this could be the battery causing the problem. I guess when the device gets overloaded (using wifi bluetooth and gsm at the same time) the battery gives false power reading to the device and it shuts down. Can someone actually confirm that as i'm thinking of replacing the battery with a new one.
[Sable] Li Xiaoyuan:
So does anyone sent the bad unit to HP and get the offical reason of this issue from HP? Since I am in China and this model does not offical release in China, I can not get the support from HP offical support center.

Your reply will be high appreciated!

LXY
[Sable] miroslav.turek:
Now I have new battery and it works good. Is question, if old battery was bad from production, or damaged by iPAQ. When iPAQ was new, original battery works good. Man in service said me, about more pieces of 614c with same battery problem. It is not official information and I am not sure, if new battery start switch off earlier after some time of using. If problem returns back, I will ask HP for new iPAQ or money back.
[Sable] paraklas:
It's back. Neither of the upgrades worked so I assume it's the battery gone bad. I am thinking of getting the extended battery, anybody has it?
[Sable] Li Xiaoyuan:
There are some non-HP original battery(MOMAX product) of 612/614C sell in the website and local dealer. The price is around RMB120(include a charger).I am not sure how about the performance of this type battery since I do not have it.
[Sable] axlastro:
Alexander

I spoke to HP support in UK. they say they never had this issue, DUH! I installed the rom update from the HP site - it's now FW 0.88 and rom 1.01.04.

After that I installed this rom : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=449341 . Now the battery life is almost 2 days with low use and 1.5 days moderate use. I don't experience the shutdown problem after that upgrade (for now), so it could be the software itself causing the issue. So everyone - you may try this, it worked wll enough for me, plus i have touch flo 2d now :). Important - when updating with the HP RUU.exe, it's better if you remove the SD card. The cooked rom update is done by sd card only.
[Sable] paraklas:
After the upgrade it was working fine for two weeks. Then same crap again
[Sable] axlastro:
After which update - the ofiicial HP ? For me, the official update didn't help at all. I'm now with the unofficial rom and for 3 days i have no problems. Well , at least we can flash the ipaq with sd card very easily.
[Sable] paraklas:
Official and Unofficial.

Looking to get a new battery now :eek:
[Sable] axlastro:
Yep. Mee too. I hope it's only the battery. Anyone who got their battery replaced, pleace post feedback. This is how you do the ultimate test : Wait till your battery drops to 30%. Turn Wi-fi on and call a service number of your operator or whatever doesn't cost money :). Wait 5 minutes and then press the "end" key. Mine shutdowns after that. I tried with Wi-Fi off and for 5 minutes- it doesn't shut down, so i guess that's it - it shuts down due to high power demands=>overload=>battery reporting low power. Yep That ipaq is like an american muscle car of the ppc world now isn't it.
[Sable] paraklas:
My battery doesn't make it to 30%. At 50% it will turn off regardless of Wi-Fi being on or off. Sometimes it will turn off before I manage to answer a phonecall or during a phone call.
[Sable] axlastro:
OK. Here's what i would suggest.

EVERYONE wxperiencing the problem : go to HP online chat.

https://h50203.www5.hp.com/HPISWeb/Customer/EnterProductInfo.aspx?region=EMEA&country=BG:Bulgaria&callfrom=hp&origin=ipaq&ProductCategory=ipaq@10000^i

or write in google - HP online chat - there isn't a ipaq 600 section , so select ipaq 500 section, don't worry about it.

You can also write e-mails to HP support and alert them. I think they are aware of the problem but they don't do anything about it.

I'm not sure this will help but it doesn't hurt to try now does it.:)
[Sable] iznee:
Dear all, my ipaq 612c is having os v1.00.03 and fw v0.81 im really looking to upgrade it to the latest version but when i selected the file on rapidshare site is says that the file has reached its max number of download so its not available anymore.

These are the newest wm 6.1 roms for the ipaq. I'm using the russian with manila in it and i'm very pleased with it.It's very stable and the battery lasts longer. I haven't tried the chinese one so can't tell anything about it. With the russian rom some apps based on net cf 2.0 don't work but it's not a big deal.

I recommend using the official hp upgrade - found somewhere on the HP site. and after that flashing with the wm 6.1 roms.

Any news

Hey there. Any news with the battery thing. I'm still having the shutdown problem from time to time but i haven't replaced the battery yet. Has anyone solved their issue or you just got used to it / sold your device. ;)
[Sable] miroslav.turek:
I have new battery and problem is solved. In addition I bought new extended battery, but probelm was solved with new standard battery yet...
[Sable] axlastro:
Thank you Miroslav. I needed some feedback before spending 35$ on a new battery. I actually ran a program called Aebutton plus, which has a battery meter in the task manager and when the battery was fully charged, it showed it had 1440 Mah. The battery is stated to have 1530 Mah so i was almost sure it's the battery doing problems. How much does the big is the extended battery

add to the thickness and is it worth it?
[Sable] miroslav.turek:
I found pictures of this battery: http://smartmania.mobilmania.cz/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=9042&hilit=HP+614+extended

Sorry it is not in English, but pictures are international...

I planed use this extended battery mainly for outdoor navigation. iPAQ is little bigger and heavier, but I am using it all time for the present (I am lazy to change batteries).

I am using iPAQ intensively and then I had to charge standard battery nearly every day or second day. I had only problem, when I needed outdoor navigation with not fully charged standard battery, but standard battery was sufficient for normal office work and car navigation.

With extended battery I can work in office three days withou recharge, but it is not main advantage for me.
[Sable] Chalky:
My Tip

Try using a third party battery-only charger (with a new battery). I don't trust the ipaq to charge the battery properly when the battery is in the phone.

I now achieve a ~10% battery discharge drop per day. with a new 1600mAH (CS) battery and combined cradle charger with a slot for charging a second battery.

Note the second battery slot is used for charging the battery NOT the cradle or usb I dont think the internal charging circuitry in the ipaq is up to the job.

Chalky
[Sable] axlastro:
Thanks for the tip

It's something i've been thinking about actualy. I noticed that when "charged" to 100% the battery has 1440Mah, not 1590Mah (that's about 10%) as it's supposed to be.

So maybe the solution can be an external charger. I've decided to use the device as it is now and sell it when i have a better option. I just don't want to spend any money on it as i have already bought two a leather case which cost me about 20$ and got teared up in less than a month. Now i use a 15$ universal pouch so i think this is as much as it deserves right now. I just think that whatever it is - a pda, a PC or a car, which starts to cost you more than

20-25 % of it's initial value for repairs and "upgrades" it's better to sell for half price and buy something new. I had a samsung i600 witch came with two batteries and an external charger and it was very comfortable. Now i keep a spare charger at work and just plug it in when needed.
[Sable] paraklas:
With the new non-OEM battery the shutdown issue has been resolved for me. I get 2 full days and the level drops to 5% normally.
[Sable] axlastro:
That's interesting. Can you tell me something about the battery - like model number, brand or something. I went to the HP service center and they said the issue cannot be fixed. They ordered a replacement unit for me but when it arived they opened the back cover of my Ipaq and it turned out that the holographic stick was torn and they claimed i had opened my device. Well i haven't opened it so it might have torn because of the battery or it was torn when i bought it.

So i'll be with the old one. It's interesting though that at least 3-4 people here say the problem for them was solved by simply replacing the battery, so i might just do that too. At least i learned something - when buying a brand new device it's better to have a magnifying glass and inspect every sq. mm of it. Damn technology these days seems to suck big time.
[Sable] kancrutt:
my 612c restart itself after the call and sometimes while using

currently i use the latest radio 0.89 (from hippo) & iPAQ 614c WM6.1 bulid20270 v1.4 rev1.2 fix-M2D (yevg001)

Hello, I had same problem and help only new battery (read older texts). But after some time resets returns again (only twice and battery was low and was very cold...)
[Sable] kancrutt:
so its not because battery? it must be software (ROM) problem? please contact me if you have "patch"

thanx in advance
[Sable] buttheadi:
I had the same annoying reboots with the 614c on low battery levels - sent it to HP service for battery check/replacement... I'm pessimistic though that a new battery will solve these issues... :(
[Sable] miroslav.turek:
New battery

New battery solved this problem. I sent iPAQ to service and they changed battery. From this time is situation better, but when I use GPS more then 2 hours and try call, iPAQ turn off. In my opinion is problem with GPS battery consumption and then help only extended battery. I have this extended battery for tourist navigation and normal battery for office work, where I have not problem for the present.
[Sable] kancrutt:
oh no! original battery too expensive here ;) I will buy after the payment of salary :D
[Sable] albertorrent:
Hi

I'am new to this and I just received my new 614c this week,

can you tell me if this battery problem could be because of the non official upgrade to WM 6.1 ? or could happen with the original ROM?

because I'm hesitating tu upgrade to WM6.1 from Yevg001 because of this battery problem.

thanks
[Sable] axlastro:
Upgrading will not help. It won't hurt you though. I have noticed that the official 6.0 rom is working fast and stable enough so I don't use 6.1 anymore.
[Sable] axlastro:
A hardware issue

Here is my personal experience with this issue.

When reporting to the HP support center they said they will replace the device right away. They said that the issue can't be resolved so they just replace the faulty unit. Unfortunately my protective holographic sticker under the battery was damaged and they refused to replace mine. So it's not a software issue and everyone experiencing that should immediately go to the nearest HP representative and ask them to replase their device!. I don't know how my sticker got damaged - it could have been like this when I bought the device brand new or it could have been damaged while I was removing battery. That's it. So a piece of advice - check yours and if damaged try to cover it up somehow and tell them that you need to use the device while they deliver the replacement unit so they don't have time to check it thoroughly. I was just wondering - what are the 4-5 small pins under the battery that make contact with it - are they for the sensors of the battery or just for grounding .

If you have any ideas of how to repair the sticker you are welcome :D
[Sable] Zoltair Wright:
This sounds crazy, but I found someone on PDAclan.com who thinks they found a solution. On top of the 614c battery are six copper contacts. Basically, you take a little piece of cardstock (for example, an index or business card), and cover the middle two contacts when the battery is in the device. (Remember to remove the covering when you charge the battery!) You should be able to discharge the battery completely without it restarting.

It seems the work, the disadvantage is that your battery will always read at 100% full.
[Sable] axlastro:
Holy crap!

I was trying to do that a week ago but I was unable to find the right connectors to izolate. I put a piece of paper under the battery because I thought the sensors were those small metal pieces that lie underneath the battery and make contact with it( they are 4 - one over the sim and three below) I'm going to try that right away! I guess the battery will not discharge completely (not good for Li-ion batteries)
[Sable] axlastro:
Yeah it works

At least it shows battery at 100%! I'll wait for the battery to drain and will try to make a longer call see if it shuts down. That's great many many thanks for that. I guess I just like messing with my ipaq's brain. Here's another idea which I'm going to implement as soon as I see that solution works.

I think of making a small switch which can under the battery cover - it will consist of two wires that i will connect to the two middle connectors. Then I will weldd them to the connectors and put something to isolate them- like small

piece of thin plastic film. On the other side I will stick another two wires that can make contect with battery. You just need to put together the loose ends of the wires and you can see the status of your battery.
[Sable] axlastro:
However I don't know if there is any point of doing that - you will still need to open the back cover... From Zoltair's links I found out that there is a manufacturer Momax.net that provides battery that users say are great and better than the original Ipaq battery.
[Sable] Zoltair Wright:
I've read the same thing about the MOMAX batteries, that they work much better than the standard ones. They go for $168 HKD (about $22 USD). I've never tried one, but if anyone does let us know if it works.
[Sable] axlastro:
The trick won't work for me.

Unfortunately insulating the middle pins with paper or plastic didn't work for me.

It shows 100% all the time but I tested it when battery was 30% - I put the insulating piece and started the device and when I made a call it shuts down no matter it shows 100% battery. Too bad. I guess there is some other sensor there.
