Install wceusbshx64.inf

In addition to my treat before I did some tests:

Installing wceusbshx64.inf in normal activesync-connection is possible and when I try to install the software this errormessage will come - Error 503: Activesync error.Could not communicate the iPAQ with Activesync. Check your activesync connection and try again.

Installing wceusbshx64.inf in Pre-Bl is not possible.

I tried to install in Windows XP SP3 but its not possible to install the app. with the same error: Error 503: Activesync error.Could not communicate the iPAQ with Activesync. Check your activesync connection and try again.

Now I downgrade my WM6.1 to WM5 and it works as a charm. I upgrade from WM5 to WM6.1 without problems ( without Pre-BL ).

I think the problem is the HP USB SYNC - Spiaatie, because every time I tried to install the driver Windows says that it encountered a problem it cannot verify the driver signature.

Spiaatie, I hope you can help me to solve the problem. Thanks

ROM Revision: 1.00.01H

ROM Date : 04/10/06

All except the original ROM Update do not work, always this ""digital sign mismatch", the update sends the device into EBoot mode and tries to download the ROM Update, but fails.

*If the ipaq is in Pre-BL mode, the PC and ActiveSync wont detect it.

*If the ipaq is connected to ActiveSync, the device is under Network adapters in Device Manager as Windows Mobile-based device.

*If the ipaq is in Pre-BL mode, the device is as Windows CE USB Device (HP USB Sync) and USB device.

hx 2410 problem with updates

i have a hx 2410, i try to update and show this info

"incorrect device SKU! update cannot continue"

the rom of my model is 1.10.09 ENG.

i need to make all the steps to update to WM6.5?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ConnorWiller:
Rollback

I like the update. I have an iPaq HX2190, I have sucessfully installed the rom upgrade. It works great, just a little slow. I have installed the bluetooth driver for the iPaq keyboard and also the drivers for the wireless agere CF-B-AG-01. The two problems I have are that when i access the bluetooth menu it loads then displays an error saying it is missing the help files and it wont go away meaning I have to reset the device. Secondly I cannot connect to a WPA-PSK [TKIP] connection, is there a driver for this, Id even downgrad to 5.0 if it works. The bluetooth menu worked when 5.0 was on it but the wireless didnt connect. I was in the belief that the 6.5 upgrade would fix this.

Any help/ suggestions would be apprechiated.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NoBrick:
Looks like my trusty old hx2750 does not want to be upgraded to WM6.5. Last year I was able to upgrade it successfully from 2003 to 6.1 and although it is better there are a few annoying bugs that I hope are solved in 6.5 (wireless/bluetooth, crashes from time to time).

Upgrading the device on my Windows 7 PC didn't work, even after installing the included driver, so I tried an older laptop with Windows XP and ended up with the same results. :(

The scenarios I tried:

(1) Entering Pre BL mode and starting the upgrade tool only gives me an error message stating the PDA cannot be found (yes, USB connection is on and I can see it in the device manager).

(2) Restarted the PDA and let it boot its OS. Now I started the upgrade again and it detects the device and the new ROM. After clicking NEXT the PDA reboots into EBoot loader... looks promising... about 5 seconds later I get a 'Digital Sign Mismatch' error on the PDA's screen.

(3) Ok, now a different approach: Started the PDA in OS mode and ran the updater. It detects the device, ok -> next

Now I remove the device from the cradle, enter Pre BL mode, connect it to the cradle and press the calendar button. I can see Windows detects the device. I give it another 10 seconds, click NEXT and after about 30 seconds a message appears stating a different PDA is attached.

(4) Also read the post of another user who used an older version of the RUU tool. Tried that one too, without any luck.

At the moment I am out of options... am I overlooking something? :confused:

At last success, but like WM6.1 the upgrade path was different as described in the manual. Here is what I had to do to get WM6.5 onto my hx2750:

- downgrade the device back to WM2003, however downgrading could only be done with the downgrade util that came with the WM5 upgrade (WWE-hx2000_PPC03_downgrade.exe). Another WM2003 release only displayed a 'Hello World!' message on the display.

- hard reset

- go through the initial process (screen alignment, etc.)

- start the WM6.5 upgrade from the OS (no need to go into PreBL)

- hard reset again

- :D

Why the upgrade did not work from WM6.1... dunno, but for now all seems in working order again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NoBrick:
Another update:

Today a collegue noticed the new OS on my PDA and asked if I could upgrade his hx2190 which was still at WM5.

Hoping I could upgrade this PDA as described in the manual I booted into PreBL mode and started the upgrade. All I got was an error message stating the PDA could not be found. Ok, this looks a lot like my own hx2750....

Booted in OS mode, started the upgrade --> PDA went into EBoot loader..... and... 'Digital sign mismatch' (!!!!$@#%@#$%!$%!!!!).

To make a long story short...I had to take exactly the same steps as with my hx2750.

But ok, it was worth the effort. Compared to the old situation it is blazing fast with WM6.5

@Spiaatie: Thanks again for this release :)

can't upgrade hx2490b?

Hi,

I am a newbie to upgrading rom.

I tried upgrading my hx2490b with the Update_SP_Tomahawk_v8_T_ENG,

using the vista procedure through device manager > update driver. It seems to update the driver and the final screen says 'updated successfully'. But, when I hard reset (format ps) it shows the system is still rom version 1.02.00.H.

I've tried several times without success. Can you help me please.

Is the upgrading dependant on the ipaq's available RAM size? The system RAM size is 64MB, and flash ROM 192MB, but the Memory screen says Program Memory: Total 56.59MB, In use 17.12MB, and Free 39.47MB. Is this relevant?

Before I start the upgrade process:

does the wceusbsh.inf file be in the same folder as the .nbf file?

do I need to change the .nbf file name?

and how can I make sure the update addresses the correct hpRUU.ini file?

do I need any other files apart from the ones in the update pack?

Thanks

Hi Spiaatie,

first of all thank you and big props for your work.

My question is the same as nnele's. Does this version have a RAM drive, or have you removed it as you said you would in one of your earlier messages?

V1 is working OK for me (I had 6.1, but this is really very fast!). However I would like to have more memory for my 2410, so I am going to try V2 if you have removed the RAM drive.

Best regards to all

iPaq reset

The iPaq reset sequence fooled me, too, at first. I found there is a sequence to the key-combo/reset:

Hold down the key combination.

Press and release the reset, but Don't Release the Keys Yet!

Once you are no longer pressing reset, release the keys​

I had a bad habit of releasing the keys at the same time as releasing the reset. The Reset boot-up starts by looking for keys pressed down. If you've released them already, the boot doesn't see them and either goes into White Screen or starts a normal boot of the current OS if it was properly flashed.

I hope that helps others new to the iPaq flash loading settings.
