no... same procedure as v1
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jocanton:
OK, now I am confused, since that is the procedure I followed on v1. Maybe my termonology is not right. For v1 I just synced my PDA to my desktop and then ran the exe file and it worked fine. I was starting with Windows 2003 then, so now that I am not starting from Windows 2003 but 6.5 v1 instead, is there any difference, or do I just sync up and run the exe file? I think that is what you are saying, I just don't want to mess it up and brick my PDA, so I have to be 100% certain. Thanks! As you can probably tell, I am new to this :)

v2

This is awesome! Thanks for your hard work. The only complaint I have is that my touch screen is not as sensitive anymore with v2 as it was with v1. Any ideas why?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sjaakfaal:
Yeah .. RTFM is a problem .. i know.

I managed to update; after the update a format of the PS was necessary:

Is it an idea to put this information on the first page / topic? The update to WM61 topic has stored this information there and that is very helpful.

But ... ITS WORKING MANY THANKS Spiaatie!!!!!!

I found some "bugs" i will collect them and post them as soon as possible.

Meanwhile i will to the donation. Keep up the good work.

I am new here, my unit is hx2490b WM5 ROM 1.02.00.H.

PC is XP activesync 4.5 ; I have regular connection and sync no problem.

I try to install Spiaatie's v.2 (thanks !) and stuck.

My problem may be basic, After pre-BL with fading to white screen, press calendar and beep, I keep having Error 503: Activesync Error. Could not communicate ...

No connection. I have tried resetting the PDA, hard reset even. Reset the PC. PDA is connected normally.

But the 503 persist. What did I do wrong? (this is frustrating)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sjaakfaal:
Have you seen post #3 from Spiaatie?

I really dont know if this is valuable information for you, since you have the hx2490b.

Hi,,

My 2490b working fine.

Speed is faster ... I like it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] script999:
problems with hx 2490b installation

Yes, mine is hx2490b, #3 is not relevant.

Anyway, I have been digging more on my XP system.

I found that the "HP usb sync" in Device Manager is NOT available when I do the Pre-BL thing (contact + itask button + reset button, then calender), and that is the reason why the XP cannot contact the PDA in that state, resulting in Error 503.

The preBL mode only result in an "unknown device" under the USB controller section of Device Manager, not the full "win CE usb sync"

When I do the Eboot mode (contact+email+reset as in installation of SP32408), the Device Manager recognize the PDA, the HPRUU.exe manage to pass, and the update screen appear. Only later I got stuck on the "digital sign mismatch" message this way, resulting in another Error.

So, my conclusion is that the preBL mode is not enabling my USBsync, make the PC cannot recognize the PDA, and disabling the update process. Therefore the process suggested by spiaatie is not working in my system (!).

I am stumped, since this seems to be a very basic problem. I am very sure somebody already overcome this. Is there any way to retain the "win CE usb sync" when I have to remove the ipaq from cradle to press the reset button?

I check my HP USB sync driver is 2004 (ver 4.0.4232.0) - do I need to upgrade this? I can't find newer version though.

Thanks anyway, any discussion might help (i.e. could you check do the Device Manager in your PC still show "USB sync" during preBL?)

I have hard-reset my PDA and leave my PDA w/o application for the time being -- I have to install this 6.5!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] script999:
Wow. You have the same pda I have problem with. Can you specify the details of your installation? step by step, I mean.

Will appreciate your help since I can't proceed, after hours of trying.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
As I said go into Pre-BL mode mode and push calendar button - if it does not work for the first time, push 10 times.

The error You got appears because there is no connection between PC and PDA and all You need to do is to push CALENDAR button. :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] script999:
no-joking

Yep. Of course I push the CALENDAR button all the time. about 2x 12 times!

I kept the Device Manager and Process explorer open to see what happened.

Joking aside, I think my problem is similar to what happened with Tommy's in the other thread.

Maybe it has something to do with b type, or maybe just my luck.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
I do have a one HX2490b board - just tried to flash it.. everthing works..

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] script999:
I might add, in pre-BL mode never sync, but in other mode (incl normal usage, and eboot mode) sync is not a problem at all.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] script999:
well, I have tried that - moving around all usb. The problem is the same.

I even tried to re flash with HP's own SP33003- for 2490b. It worked with eBoot (even normal mode) but not with pre-BL.

It is a pity that your nbf (and others as well) did not work through eBoot (the 'digital sign mismatch' error). Must be hardware thing

have some minnor problem here on V2

Thanks for your hardwork Spaatie!! :D

just report some minor problem here:

- Irda keyboard (806_SnapNtype IRDA Keyboard) dont work at V2. Dunno at V1.

I ussually use it at wm6.1, and it works.

But the Irda work when I dialling gprs connection via my oldschool phone siemens ME45. Confussing me.

- WM6.5 v2 by Spiaatie faster than WM6.1, but I found that the "Draw Bitmaps" factor lower than the WM6.1. I ussually benchmark tool from SKTools v.4.4.7.8, at Integer, Floating point, RAM Access, and Draw Bitmaps factor. The 3 of them are slightly faster than the WM6.1, but the Draw Bitmaps is lower (approximately 1280, when the WM6.1 it can reach 1475). I use at 624MHz, normal speed for iPaq 2790 that I use.

The draw bitmaps is simple GDI test. And effect if you play the movie at good quality that the iPaq can take (I ussually play at 780Bitrate, 30fps, 128kbps audio, and 640x480 pixel)

- The battery level sometimes not refresh, even if I unplug the charger from the iPaq, the led still blink.

thanks

forgot this one:

- some feature in spb backup not go well. I try the custom backup that include some file at CF Card (not all file), and when I pick a file its hard to pick it like you pick random file. You pick the 5th file, but it selected the 1st file, like that.

Oh, I use spb backup v.2.0.1

thanks again

USB connection problem pre-BL

Maybe a solution for error 503, but you won't like it.

First a warning to all flasher's: DO NEVER EVER USE A USB-HUB.

This is very important because your flash will fail in the end.

I learned from my mistakes with a h1940 model - tried to flash another rom with my HP connected to a usb connection in my laptop cooler.

Your device will not be recognized any more because the flash failed :(

You'll have to use another tool called MTTY version 1.42, search for it in this forum or the internet. B.T.W.: do not use older versions - they can only make COM connections.

This way you will be able to make a USB connection again.

The tool is rather tricky - when you choose for the USB port you will have to type your command twice.

As I recall correctly you have to use the "lr" command.

The "lr" command seems to be a mtty internal command, and not an Ipaq one.

You don't have to specify a binfile. But fill in "lr" twice (new line).

http://www.geocities.com/ipaq41xx/commands.html for some information about MTTY.

[EDIT]

Important, Activesync must not be active on the USB connection. Basically you use mtty ONLY for establishing a USB connection after which you can use hpRUU.exe to flash your device again. So maybe it is not necessary to use the lr command.

1. Right Click Activesync icon in tray, and select connection setting, then un-mark Allow USB connections at Activesync Connection settings.

3. Run mtty 142.exe and select USB from the Port dropdown list and then click OK button.

4. press Enter two times for showing USB>

5. Type "lr" without the quotes and press Enter. [*]

6. You should hear a beep once you established a USB connection. Leave the MTTY terminal open.

7. You can now flash your device again with hpRUU.exe. After that you can mark "Allow USB connections" at Activesync Connection settings again.

[EDIT]

[*] I think this is the proper procedure. The loadrom command will get the rom information from the device, and tell Windows that there is an iPaq connected.

If not even the rom is readable anymore it will get more difficult. Someone can use the command r2sd to write an image to a FAT16 formatted SD card and restoring can be done with sd2r. Information over the full procedure you can find on this Forum.

Using MTTY this way you do not need hpRUU.exe, but as stated before this will not be necessary in most cases - unless you totally bricked the rom in your iPAQ.

Normally a HP-servicecenter will do the same procedure for you but it will cost you a lot.

Succes.

#66 is excellent - but not working

The thread is really an excellent discussion. I spent this afternoon trying to get the pdaviet and the russion wm6 (the pdaviet is not available).

But the connection method faced the same problem. It has to be pre-BL, and my unit cannot manage pre-BL connection. Yes, I've tried different usb connection (no hub!), and different computers, all the same.

The other method of connection are fine, only pre-BL failed.

The orig HP RUU is working without the need of pre-BL, and they are working or my unit. But I understand that the WM6 need to change the bootloader, therefore the need for pre-BL.

I read the excellent discussion #66, highly recommended, but alas, not working.

Note: hx2490 already has 1.02.00H so the upgrade is not neccessary. I tried to downgrade it to 1.00.00H but the pda refused ('lower system' something error)

Feedback...

Spiaatie,

Thank you for this very special upgrade! Yes, it works very well and the update went smooth as well. My 2795b is humming along fairly well now. I used your V2 file.

To all,

One comment to those making or thinking about making this update, yes, a hard reset is indeed required. Mine would not boot until I completed it. Push the calendar, messaging, and power button at the same time, then push the reset with the stylus. Make sure the screen says 'Formatting PFS.'

Back to Spiaatie,

Just an FYI, I was having sync issues, especially with PocketInformant on the device and Franklin-Covey for Outlook on the 'puter. It is not your fault as these have trouble with WM 6 and WM 6.1 as well on all my devices. In playing around to find out what could solve this I discovered that under Settings>System>USB to PC> the "Enable advanced network functionality" option was unchecked by default. In the next update, if there is one planned, you may want to make sure this is checked yes by default instead. Sync with WMDC works better with this checked yes and all WM OS's that have this option have it checked yes by default.

I tested the fingerprint reader and it all works fine.

I also loaded Sprite backup, SprintDB, Resco, PocketPlan, and my old MS Gamepack with Reversi, 9 hole golf, Minesweeper, Hearts, and Cubicle Chaos and all these seem to work as intended.

Now a request...solitare and bubble breaker are gone on your load. What is an addict to do without them? Whah... Can these be back in for the next update too....please?

I will try to load up TCPMP later this evening and test that out as well. I have about 7 SD cards with ripped movies on them for the kids to watch in the car so that functionality is desired to be working as well. When I test it I will post the results.

Thanks again!

Hello Spiaatie,

thanks for your great work on V2.

I have a couple of problems, though.

As others have noted, touchscreen sensitivity is lower in V2 as compared to V1. Is there a way (registry hack?) to bring it back to the previous level?

My second problem is that the sound level goes automatically to zero and stays there. Even if I click on the speaker icon and bring it back up, as soon as I close it the sound goes back to zero. I can't watch movies with TCMP :(
