HP Protect Tools

Hi!

I would like to thank you for your work, i hope you will continue your efforts.

While testing the ROM I found the following problem:

- after the HP Protect Tools has been configured and one crypted folder added in the devices memory if you do a soft reset (!), the crypted folder will become "lost" (meaning it will not be unlocked, the tools will not show it in its settings and even though the Windows\VAULT will contain the proper vlt file, it will not be possible to copy or move it)

I have tried to do at least one log off and/or lock through the tools menu before resetting, but it did not help. Is there any chance you will be able to fix this or recommend a workaround?

Stuck while flashing 1.00.00H

Hi,

I have 2410, after successfully flashing with 1.00.00L, I get stuck while flashing the 2nd ROM (1.00.00H), it say "Incorrect Device SKU" update can not continue.

few question :

- do I need to wait untill PS formatting complete (after hard reset?)

- do I need to establish connection with ActiveSync after I got a new ROM(WM5_L):o

- tell me more 'bout how to made successful flash from ??_L to ??_H and then to ?.02 ROM

- I try to fix wi-fi driver issue in my previous WM2003SE, did upgrading solve the problem?

Need more advise, thanks

My Update

========= update...========

my mistake...:o

I did not read more carefully your manual..

its working now..

here's my update (in case somebody has a same problem on 2410..)

1. put your PDA in Pre-BL mode first everytime you will flashing

2. press calendar, and its show "USB"

3. Connect your adapter (Charger) plug to the cradle (that one I miss too..:o)

4. Flash with 1.00.00L first.

5. After its complete, hard reset. it will show "Formating PS.." jut wait until finish its process.

6. Put in Pre-BL mode again to flash 2nd ROM, place in craddle, push calendar button.

7. Run HPRuu again in folder $_1.00.00.L, hit next but don't hit update

8. Just cut update.nbf files and put it to your desktop

9. Paste file update.nbf from folder 1.00.00H

10. Run Update..

11. Do Hard reset, and wait until PS formatting complete too.

12. Continue the step until I successfully flash your PDA to ROM 1.02.00

13. Now you have WM5 (from your old WM2003SE)

14. Continue with WM6.5 spattie flashing ( I did it from SP1 first..)

15. Update slowly to SP2, and then you free to the newest ROM

16. you Done!

Thanks for the great job Spattie..

But still I can't get my wi-fi driver up..

Hello Spiaatie

Thanks for your hard work, HX2000 Rom V3 is very nice, but I found it is some error on the 8G SDHC Card support, it often have Read/write error at 8G SDHC, Can you check the driver for SDHC in your next version.

Thank you again

Language problem

i had iPAQ HX2410 still use WM2003 Chinese version, if i update to WM6.5, does i need change the OS to English version, or it 's doesn't matter? Thank your very much!

From WM 2003 English---> WM 5.0 English----> WM 6.5 correct?:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
Yes, I could return!!

That's the bug introduced in WM6.0 builds when the clock start to jump 5-6 hours every second. I've uploaded a video (3gpp) to show it (Sorry for bad quality, I had to make it on SX1).

Spiaatie, when will be SPv3+ / SPv3 localizated versions / SPv4 released? Or did I missed their release?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ncc74656:
Is it normal that while Formating PS the bar goes to about 40% and then it starts up?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
Then the WM splash appears? IIRC, that's normal.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
Yes. Alternatively, you can just update to WM5.0 English directly, but you'll need Chinese WM5.0 ROM Image and flash with the .nbf changing.

Pre_BL? How to?

Okay. This might look like a stupid question but I've been trying to fiddle with my hx2795b all day long and could not get into the Pre-BL mode.

My hx2795b has 1.02.00.H firmware and when I press on the Contacts + iTask + Reset, the screen starts to fade to white. Then I let go of the Contacts+iTask key and the release the Reset button.

But when I press the Calendar button, nothing happens. NOTHING!

I dock it into the cradle and the computer does not realize that I have my pda docked!!

When the screen turns white, if I press on the mail key, the pda reboots itself but not in PRE-BL as explained.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
Maybe you just have to wait? Or try another USB port (don't use a USB hub). Is the "HP USB Sync" device present in Device Manager?

That's reboot to a normal mode. I've found out this feature recently too.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] !_uke:
THX!

I just wanted to say thanks to you Spiaatie for your hardwork, i joined here just so i could try this out and it works flawlessly on the hx2790, installation was a cinch from wm5 to 6.5v3! :D

-one thing i wanted to ask is what is the compatibility like with SDHC/CF cards after the update? whats the largest card anyone has tried, sre if its the wrong place to ask

-also the battery drains pretty fast, i found this was an issue with wm5.0 apparently to do with having an SD card inserted, and the activesync [set to manual, sceen brightness near off,] it still drains real quick is my battery just dead?

-thanks anyway,

luke
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
SDHC is the cards with size above 2 Gb & up to 32 GB (maybe there are more than 32 Gb, I've just never seen them:D). Kingston SDHC 8Gb (Class 6) works fine on my device and I know one man who use 16Gb SD on iPAQ 2410 (it also works fine).

CF is just another memory card format (that's the large slot below the SD card slot on the iPAQ), it works faster on our devices.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MattKim:
Thanks for the fast reply NeverGone. I've waited for about 4hours now but nothing changed. And yes "HP USB Sync" device is present.

(Not present when I dock it in my cradle when the screen is still faded white.)

And most of all, I am not using a hub too.

Does anyone have such problems or is it just me? :mad:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] !_uke:
thanks for the quick reply :D was asking mainly due to the fact that before the update there simply wasn't support for it and i also wondered if anyone had put a ridiculous amount of memory like a 32GB SD combined with a 32gb CF heh,

- so Yay! an upgrade lol guess i'll have to check out CF cards.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pyrofool:
lexa_st , if you are running winXP try downloading activesync 4.5. I had the same issue and when installing activesync it updates the usb drivers and some other stuff. The issue is not really power, it is the communication between the device and the computer. I think the mobile device center is needed for vista, not sure though.

Battery Drain

I am also wondering about the battery drain. Within an hour my battery is at 50%. I don't want to pay for a new battery if there is something I can do to extend the battery life. I'm using a 4gb SDHC microSD with an SD adapter, is that the problem? Most of my programs are installed on the microSD to save the space on my HX2790 device. What is the normal life of a battery?

Just run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe ;)

iPAQs doesn't have a SD download mode, so it's impossible to update firmware from a flash card.

Connect the PDA to PC, wait for ActiveSync to connect, run the update (don't take the PDA to PreBL mode, 1.00.00.L update is an official ROM). THIS WILL UPGRADE WM2003 TO WM5.0, then you could install WM6.0/6.1/6.5.

The pre-Bl never achieved, the device manager report "unknown device". While everything is Okedoke when not in pre-BL. I have reported my frustration in this thread months ago, using Spiaatie v1 and v2, as well as other wm6.1s. I have even tried putty and mtty.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
So, here is the first bug. It was introduced in v3 & not fixed yet.

Try to open Windows Media Player - Settings - Skins. There is a blank default skin. If you tap OK, you'll lose all the WMP controls (only black screen will be shown!) and you won't be able to restore it - you'll have to do Hard Reset!

Searching for another (hope it'll be not so much:))...

UPD> it seems that the loader in your update was hacked too :D - it's not critical to the language issues - flashed WM6.5v3 ENG - WM6.1 RUS - WM6.5v4 ENG, no warnings or errors.

Activesync can no longer used in Vista and Windows 7. The new software is Windows Mobile Device Center.

Nevermind, everything is working cool. But if anyone else is having issues, I used these instructions to bail me out!

1. Take your pda to PreBL mode (hold contact+itask+power and then lightly press reset, after about two second unhold remaing buttons). The screen will be white. After that press calendar.

2. Now connect your pda to cradle and plug the cable to AC and then to PC, you will hear beep from pc (USB Device connected).

3. Run hpRUU.exe. Upgrade device....

4. Make clean reset (hold calendar + itask, then press and hold reset), after about two seconds you will hear knack. Now unhold these buttons. The screen will be black.

(((((((#5 is what I forgot to do correctly!)))))))

5. After that make hard reset (hold calendar + messaging + power and then press and hold reset) after about two seconds unhold reset button first and after about one seconds remaining buttons. You will see on screen PS FORMAT.

6. Now is you iPAQ ready.

New OS Build & some bug fixes :)

----

When I tried to flash my iPAQ, it didn't recognized the USB Connection (i.e. no "USB is connected" appeared at the bottom when the device was cradled). So, the PC didn't get connected to the iPAQ. I'd fixed this issue with pressing "Messages" (button 3) in PreBL mode (the device reset to a normal mode) and entering the PreBL again (I didn't wait for the WM boot up, but I think it was not depending on that issue). Then "USB is connected" message appeared (i.e. it recognized the USB connection).
