Hi All, first a special thank you to Spiaatie, great job!

I'm using "WM6.5.SPv8T ENG - Tomahawk v8 Touch - CE OS 5.2.23145 (Build 23145.5.3.10)" on my Hx2750. My Ipaq as a new live.

I couldn't follow the process to upgrade with pre-BL, I've the same issue that some users, windows reports unrecognized usb device when in pre-BL. SO .. I took the chance and tried with ActiveSync and ... worked :D

Now I've found only two issues:

1 - With setup new email accounts: I've seen on this forums users with the same issue. After another hard-reset I could setup my accounts, now I can't change them or add new ones.

2 - Only the right button on the D-PAD works. All the others don't even on Ipaq hardware tests.

Looking forward for the next version. BTW, what’s de difference between Classic and Touch versions?

Regards

Okidokiss

I hate to be a bother. I purchased an HX2490C and it came with a chinese OS and I was trying to get it to an English OS but I have succeeded in bricking it.

I suppose there's nothing I can do, but just wondering if there's a reason that it would do this?

Stuck at the white and then fading out display with it now :(

Edit: Hmm, it seems to boot but I can't do anything with it. It synchronizes and I can hear the tapping sounds but the display is not working, just dark grey O_o
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] John_Yossarian:
Hi Spiaatie,

Congrats on excellent job!

I have a hx2490b that is on the list of eligible devices for flashing.

The problem I have however is that despite the Pre-BL mode and fresh install of Actyve Sync once I start the Update_Tool.exe I get into the Update mode but after 1% I get a message about Error 608 and that the RUUClientDriver.dll could not initialize this device. This might not be the correct DLL for this iPAQ Pocket PC and this NBF file.

It happens with both versions Classic and Touch. I am using a PC under XP. Should I try it under Windows 7?

Can you advise me on what I do wrongly and why it should not start the update. After a hard reset it keeps sending me in 1980:).

Thank you in advance for chipping in!

Cheers,

John

Hi

After you connected the USB pressing calendar button. Then the lower left corner of HX2700 display will display USB. Now you can run the update utility tool. ;)

Could not initiate device or there might be not the correct DLL for this IPAQ Pocket PC and this NBF file.

Can someone help in plain English how to update to that version 6.5????

Help: Updating hx2410

Hi all!

I want to update an hx2410 from WM2003 to WM6.

Do I have to upgrade it first to WM5 before I can install WM6 or do I "just" need to install "1.00.00L" -> "1.00.00H" -> "1.02.00H" and then WM6 (WM6.5.SPv8T ENG - Tomahawk v8 Touch)? :confused:

Regards Tom
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Atlus:
Yes, you need first WM5 and then go to 6.5.

I hope I helps
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] the_MacAce:
When I bring the hx2410 in Pre-BL Mode it won't be recognized from the computer (USB device not recognized) and so its not possible to upgrade it.

Active Sync is installed and the ipaq is recognized in normal mode but when I switch to Pre-BL its gone...

Any idea? :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blatadude:
Just got back to my ipaq after using an Android for long time (still do so don't judge :P) and I always get the error that says unrecognized card in socket 2. Any help?

~sent from that thing over there
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blatadude:
Reset your drivers and try again. Same thing happened to me and I think I got all the errors possible while updating from 2003 to 6.5.3

:P

~sent from that thing over there
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] the_MacAce:
Absolutely not working, everytime when I bring the hx2410 in Pre-BL Mode it won't be recognized from the computer (USB device not recognized) and so its not possible to upgrade it.

I deleted the ipaq from the device manager and let it be installed again after an hard reset and then switched in the Pre-BL Mode and again the ipaq was not recognized...

Any idea what I can do??? :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Atlus:
I remember that if using Win7 or Vista x64 you need to install custom drivers in order to works. Have you try it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] einsteinecker:
Yeah, that's correct. I had to manually update the drivers to Spiaatie's included ones in my Win7 32bit, and only then was I able to flash Spiaate's V8 Rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] the_MacAce:
Thank you for your aswers.

I have Win7 32bit on my computer so first I installed the drivers from Spiaatie and switched then to Pre-BL Mode. Again the ipaq is recogniced as unknown device - Status: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

Now I tried to install the drivers from Spiaatie for the unknown device but got the error message "No kompatible driver in this folder"

I also tried several USB-ports but the result is always the same - unknown device...

:mad: Annoying...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] einsteinecker:
Hmm, It could help if we have more details, such as the current OS on your device, and whether or not you have WMDC installed and updated to the latest version.

For me, at first I thought it was impossible to update from wm2003 all the way to spiaatie v8, but I still was able to. I hope you can too.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Atlus:
Yes is a little tricky, why don't try WM5 first and then WM 6.5
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] the_MacAce:
I have an hp iPAQ hx2410 with WM2003, an 32MB MMC Plus and an 512MB CompactFlash.

What I'm trying is to upgrade this Pocket PC on my Win7 32bit PC to WM5 and then to WM6.5.

But thats not possible because of the problems I posted until now.

Whats new is that I tried to update the BIOS of the Pocket PC with the Updatefile directly from the hp homepage. This was also not working because the installation aborted with an DLL write error (couldnt be installed because its not the right one for the iPAQ...)

Is it possible to copy an install file directly on the iPAQ and then switch to Pre-BL and the installation of this file starts? Because now I also have an VM6 *.daa file here. Maybe its possible to install this one...

Thank you for any help!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spykid9x:
can you help me about use?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] einsteinecker:
Ah, so you do have wm2003 on your iPAQ. Try this: kill WMDC before you run the WM5 (remember it has to be the 1.00.00L version) upgrade. To kill WMDC, right-click your taskbar, then start Task Manager, go to processes and kill the wmdc.exe one. Then the HP updater should work, then from that point on you can enter pre-bootloader mode.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] the_MacAce:
Also not working :(

I killed the wmdc.exe but it was not possible to update with the hp BIOS-Updatefiles or WM5-file. Same error like usual - iPAQ not recognized when in Pre-BL Mode.

Maybe I should try on an other PC with an other Operating System? Win XP? Win 2000?

:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] einsteinecker:
Hmm. Did you try to run Spiaatie's ROM update? Try that after closing WMDC.

But I think Spiaatie's driver needed to be installed first before anything, but I know for a fact that Windows 7 will not detect a WM2003 device at all.

It's a long shot, but see if you can manually add Spiaatie's driver to your device manager. You should be able to list all devices in Device Manager, or you may need to "Add New Hardware".

The reason why I was able to upgrade from wm2003 was because I had Spiaatie's drivers installed already. That is the most important part. So if you cannot add that driver, then you may need to use anoher computer with either Windows XP or Windows2000.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] linusplus:
Sorry, can the device run without the battery?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
Yes, it can!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] linusplus:
Updated correctly but the device hangs up at boot screen and the bar is just maybe at 10%. The screen light goes off, any thoughts?

It behaved this way also before the update.

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
What is the iPAQ model number you have?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] linusplus:
the model number is hx2940b
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] linusplus:
hx2490b of course...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] the_MacAce:
And also with Win2000 the same error like usual - iPAQ not recognized when in Pre-BL Mode.

I installed the PocketPC with Spiaaties drivers but again in Pre-BL Mode the iPAQ won't be recognized. I tried to install the drivers but it won't work - error during installation.

ANY idea why this hp iPAQ hx2410 with WM2003 won't be recognized in Win2000 and Win7-PCs when in Pre-BL Mode? :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
Do you see ''USB'' on the left corner when you push calendar button?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] the_MacAce:
Yes, when in Pre BL-Mode it says USB on the right side of the display.

:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
No, I don't know what's wrong. If you are trying to flash 1.00.00L, have installed ActiveSync or WMDC on PC and have intact sync connector - it should work.

What exactly is the DLL error you get?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XaviorPenguin:
Hello there!

First off, thank you for making a ROM for the iPaq hx2795.

I would like to know how exactly do I upgrade my own.

My specs are below from the HP Asset Viewer...

It has been a /long/ time since I have modded a Windows device since I had the AT&T 8525.

I am currently on Windows 7 32Bit.

Also, is there a way I can backup my current ROM, the Stock ROM, just in case I frack it all up?

I cannot wait to see how well this WM6.5 works. Thank you for your service and if all works well, you will see a donation come your way. :)

EDIT:

Nevermind, I am a smart monkey, just dumb in the fact I didn't back up my previous ROM, just didn't know how to do it. Oh well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
There is no need to backup ROM - you can download it from hp.com and if screenshots are from your device, you already had a custom WM6 ROM installed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BigClaw:
What's the difference between Classic and Touch, please? According to my searching and scouring the 'net, Classic is none phone, and Touch is touch screen... the iPAQ 2410 I want to update is not a phone and is touch screen...

Yep, I watched the n00b video, and I think I may find this question affirms my n00b status... but please help all the same. Thank you. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
This have nothing to do with phone or touch-screen.

Classic is old user interface (WM6.5)

Touch is new user interface (WM6.5.3)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BigClaw:
Spiaatie, thank you so very much for such a quick and friendly reply.

The hx2410 that I'm updating connects fine through WMDC while in WM2003SE, but doesn't recognize it when I go into Pre-BL Mode. Windows 7 refuses to use the drivers that come with the Spiaatie ROM.

I may have an XP computer around somewhere if there isn't a solution for this problem in Windows 7.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BigClaw:
Driver not compatible

Okay, the driver that comes with the 6.5.3 ROM for Windows 7... Windows 7 says it is not compatible... any idea why it would say this?

I've tried it on two Windows 7 systems and a Vista system. Just got to dig out this XP system somewhere now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] einsteinecker:
Did you try to update the driver, and then browse folders for the driver? If so, that may be why it doesn't work. What you need to do is to "browse my computer driver software", and then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers" and then select "Have Disk", and that's where you go to the Spiaatie driver folder. That's how I got it to overwrite the HP drivers.

I'm having a little bit of Trouble with the Classic version and the Clock in the corner.

I set it from digital style to analog to see how it looks, and i'm unable to change it back.

I hold down the pointer over it like i did the first time, but the menu to select between the two doesn't show up.

The analog clock is way to small for it to be a reasonable choice, so i need a way to set it back, i couldn't find any settings for it.

If i have to do a bit of registry editing i'm cool with that, just let me know what i need to change to fix it.

Edit: I found the registry key, it was a little too obvious.

Hkey_current_user\software\Microsft\Shell

Change AnalogClock from 1 to 0

Would still like to see the bug fixed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] foxtroop11:
I will say that after making the mistake myself I think I understand why some people get the incorrect sku warning when trying to upgrade the firmware on these models. I failed to read and understand the part about starting the upgrade tool with the default "L" build in the folder and then swapping it out after the tool started. I kept moving the new firmware in before starting the tool.... Anyway, finally got it all fixed up. Very impressive!

I put the device on ebay, but since this is only my second reply it won't allow my to post a link. Just look on ebay for HP iPAQ hx2415 Pocket PC Windows Mobile 6.5 classic. You'll find it.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] einsteinecker:
Without your knowing it, you actually did get the right file, and like me, I have a non-b device as well (HX2415). What you need to do is trick the HPRuu that you have a b device (like HX2495b).

First you need to flash that file while in pre-bootloader mode, look at Spiaatie's first post (main post) on how. Then that file should flash. If that does not work, first go to pre-bootloader mode, then run the HP flasher program that does work for your device. But before you flash the file, replace the nbf file with the 02H file (rename the 02H to what the working nbf was named), and then it should flash.

[General Questions and Answers] Mar'Cel:
Dear Developers :)

I have a request for a nice peace of software. I guess a lot of Diamond2 user will love it.

Now that we can scroll through the file explorer and so on (with zoombar) it would be great to have a "button" to click on the selection.

As there was an app for the diamond1 that made the Multi-Touch-Buttons customizable (hold, click, tap, double tap)

I thought it would be possible to use the zoombar as different buttons:

Button 1: Tap the zoombar on the left (magnifier(-) to 3rd line)

Button 2: Tap the zoombar in the middle (between 3rd and 7th line)

Button 3: Tap the zoombar on the right (7th line to magnifier(+))

The three buttons should be customizable in their action.

Btw. the zoombar and the buttons should work at the same time.

(There is an TouchHD mod that enables their "new zoombar" OR the touch-buttons)

Original post

Would be great if someone could help me (and all other Diamond2 user) :)

Regards Mar'Cel
[General Questions and Answers] vichet007:
That's great idea. That would be really good to have it work as buttons :)
[General Questions and Answers] mylostblog:

[General Questions and Answers] l3v5y:
As and when I get a Diamond2 (I should hopefully get one when T-Mobile UK get them) I'll try this, unless someone else gets there first...
[General Questions and Answers] jsmith8858:
Great idea, I was thinking the same thing. I'd definitely need to have something like this available before I would purchase the phone (this one or the touch pro 2) . I could not imagine always using the touch screen for so many things and not having a d-pad, I use it all the time on my FUZE.

I would take this app idea even one step further: make the 'zones' completely customizable as well, so you could create as many as you like, by specifying coordinates for something. (i.e., if the scroll bar has 100 "units", you could say "0-20 is button 1, 21-40 is button 2", etc) So, in my case, I'd try to see if it would work to have 5 "zones":

left, up, select, down, right

something like that. Might be tight to squeeze 5 buttons in there (3 is probably more realistic) but it might work, and with that layout you'd have a full d-pad ! It's gotta be possible, let's make this happen !!!! The little guidelines in the zoom area might actually make this even better and easier to implement, since there's a nice visual aid to let you know where to touch to get the button you want. Might be even better than the current diamond/touch pro d-pad !!
[General Questions and Answers] Mar'Cel:
Great :) If I can help u in any way, let me know!

A possibility too. But I think a developer decides what makes more sense or what is better to implement :) And you know that the zoombar can be used to scroll through most lists/apps(with a little mod) and so on, right? And you have arrow keys on the keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] l3v5y:
Can you run the attached exe (copy it to your phone and run it there), and tell me what the "where:" value is, and whether "keyup" works?

Or, can you take a few screenshots of it when you click in different places on the zoom bar?

BTW, the exe is taken directly from the sensor reverse engineering by Scott Seligman, but if it works I can play around a bit and convert it to topaz...

EDIT: if it doesn't work, can you tell me what the error is?
[General Questions and Answers] Mar'Cel:
Maybe I have to install anything before to make it run properly?

I get an Error "Unable to load HTC API DLL".
