[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] treo700p:
v6+

I thought I would "clean" up my Ipaq by starting with fresh installs instead of using a back up after I upgraded the rom. Now when I do a hard reset, the Ipaq is not recongized by my vista pc. I tried a soft reset while the usb was plugged but that still didn't work. My pc doesn't even show that something was plugged in. I tried it in other usb ports but it still doesn't work. I then reinstalled a backup and it worked. I have a lot of extra stuff on the backup that I would like to get rid of but uninstalling it separately doesn't delete everything in the registry or files. How can I get my pc to recognize the Ipaq after a hard reset? I notice some of the set up, files, and today screen items are different once I use the back up and I'd rather have the layout of v6+. I should mention that although the Ipaq is recognized with the backup, I still have sync errors but at least it shows up with WMDC. Is there a file or something from my v4 backup that I can add to the v6+ without reinstalling the whole backup? Thanks for any help someone can give. I guess another option is to go back to v4 until v7 comes out :) I don't want to be stuck with a version I can't sync with or more importantly, upgrade with.

So I asked a few questions earlier, but had no response. Before I make this jump, I have a few questions.

Im using Androkidd and love it, will this eliminate the need - meaning is 6.5 more finger friendly, or will Androkkid work on 6.5?

What risks am I doing to my iPaq (bricking easy if I screw up) and if it doesnt install correctly, how do I return to WM5?

Will my bluetooth and wifi still work?

and finally, an opinion from those hho have done this, is it really worth it even if I like WM5 (probably due to the finger friendly UI I am using)?

activesync problem windows OSX no problem

My HX 2490 can connect via activesync calandar and contacts but will only sync "Notes" and "Favorites".

I can also "Explore" the device when connected and transfer files without problems.

I tried changing all, soft reset, hard reset and reinstallation of OS (WM 6.5).

sync on Osx Snow apple ( syncmate driver) no problem.:)

is it a wm 6.5. driver problem ?

Win 7, ActiveSync 4.5, WM 6.5
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
Yes, maybe it's build related.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] treo700p:
6+

So when I use a backup file (done before I upgraded from v4 to v6+), is the old v4 driver installing on top of the v6+ driver? I can do the same syncing as you listed with the backup but nothing with just the v6+. I do get the exchange error but as I mentioned before, at least my hx2790 is recognized by the pc.

Is there a way to add a working driver to the v6+?

Reupload please

Please, someone should really reupload. I tried to get it for some days but it's just not available anymore...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
What build, v4? v5? v6?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
I know it's unavailable.

But as soon as I reupload it, someone reports my files as abuse and they are deleted.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
Maybe you'll just allow people to mirror your files? Of course if password won't be changed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
Many people do mirror my files - have seen on other forums.

There is no strictly NO - for my files mirror, but I like to follow download count, so I can see how many people uses my ROMs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jaykob1:
I'm looking for v6, posted it already btw.

Anyhow, the way it is at the moment I'm not able to get your ROM, so downloads will be 0...

If you reupload, somebody will report the links as you said it. This is why mirrors are the only solution I think. When you allow mirrors, it is not so easy to report all the links.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
Spaatie, please make a poll about this :D

KIS2009 didn't detected anything suspicious, Windows Live works fine on my device. Check your antivirus program.

UPDATE: Checked the file on VirusTotal. http://www.virustotal.com/en/analis...ead1d0f085fce0bf052f07bed43bebf948-1244212851

Thank you Spiaatie for your excellent work. I installed it on a iPAQ HX 2790 and it works excellent. There is only a problem with the ram-memory because of the intalled ramdisk. It is not possible to run the IGO GPS software. It says out of memory. There is 2MB left in the RAM-memory. I hope you will switch off the ramdisk in the next version.

WM6 for hx2490 German

Hi,

First: My English ist very poor!! :(

I search a ROM with WM6.x for my HP Ipaq hx2490 (only hx2490 without a, b,c) in language German.

How can i find this here?

I have search but i find only in another language. :(

Can anybody me help please?

There is no WM6.x ROMs in German language.

Maybe I will make one in future.

noooooooob

noob question, I have trying to change language on my French hx2490 to english, I've seen many many different methods and for the past week I have had no luck. It seems all the step by step directions I find are usually missing a certain step because the poster assumes everyone should know that easy step. But I don't, I am definitely doing something wrong. Please dont link me to a thousand other forums with directions, I am very sure I've tried them all. I tried to download your text file for hx2110 and go in the 1..00.00.l and changed the update.nbf file to updatel.nbf. then downloaded the french rom and english rom from hp site. the directions i was curently using tell me to take the french .nbf and move it to the 1.00.00.l folder and rename it to update.nbf. Then to open the .exe file and to stop and leave the update page open without continuing. Then I move the english .nbf file to the 1.00.00.l folder and rename it to update.nbf (i am doing all of this in winrar because when i try to extract for some reason only 2 files get extracted, not all the .dll) then i am instructed to continue with the update and everything will be fine. It is not, after waiting 5 min, I am told that the ruuclientdrive.dll is not compatible or something. Please help, I have been playing the proud old fashioned man role, but now I give up and need to ask for help. Thanks.

active sync not sync'ing on xp and vista

i suggest anyone who has a need to sync your contacts calendar etc. from outlook, DON'T update this rom. i have upgraded to 6.5 from the original poster and regret it every moment, the worst thing is i have tried downgrading it back to 6.1 or even 2003, still no luck because the original poster had encoded his signature onto the eboot and nothing will downgrade. The most stable rom for this device is tommy's wm6_Build_19199.1.0.0

When will this be resolved? anyone had any luck to downgrade 6.5 v6 back to 6.1 or even 2003?

I will wait for the original poster of this rom to get it fixed. thanks, great work for porting 6.5 on this by the way

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerrya:
So, I have not had any luck getting this answered, so gonna try one more time.

I am ready to upgrade to WM6.5. I have downloaded and unzipped the Tomahawk. I have an HX2495b running Windows CE 5.0, bootstrap version 1.00.04 - Bootloader 1.02.00.h (not sure what all that means).

My concern is if I screw this up (and no knowledge of exactly how to do this), I was told that I could just go back to WM5. Again, I don't know how I would do that.

So my question is, if I screw up upgrading to WM6.5, how do I downgrade back to WM5?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerrya:
No response still? Spatie, sounds like a great upgrade, but since I can't seem to get just a few last questions answered, the important ones to me, I think I will stick with WM5.

Thanks again for putting up with me. Sorry couldn't go through with it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joel1515:
The only way you could screw up is disconect the iPaq in the middle of the flash process. And yes, if you don't like the upgrade you can go back to WM 6.1, 6, 5, and even 2003 SE, just need to download the rom.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerrya:
Joel1515, thanks for the response! I have found the blueangel 5.0 ROM, so I will have that ready to go in case I screw this up. But then again, if I screw up the upgrade, wouldn't I do the same to the downgrade:)! Anyway, this ol codger will give it a go. Any idea how long it takes to complete the process, roughly?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerrya:
Well, I tried. Spaatie and I couldn't get the iPaq to get into pre-bl mode. I tried contact - itask - reset. Even contact - itask - power - reset. did a hard reset to remove everything. Puched the buttons for a second, 5 seconds, 60 seconds, nothing. Screen would fade from the startup screen, washing that out in a whitish something, then continue to fade to a black lit screen. Spaatie showed me what the screen should look like, but never got close to that. Pushed calender a billion times, would not be picked up by my windows xp laptop.

But at least it didn't brick! So will go through all the fun of re-installing all the programs I had on the old system.

Thanks for the help everyone, especially Spaatie!

Hi

Just upgraded one of my hx2750 to v5 the other is v4 however I am finding that v5 is draining the battery very quickly.

I have tried trawling through this post but have not found a definative reply as to if this problem was fixed or not.

active sync problem

Do you have any plans to try getting active sync to work? PDA was basically for calender and contacts. Now it is just a toy to carry since it won't sync either one on computer. Get error message when trying to sync. Even tried upgrade for Outlook when it first said that it wouldn't work with the older version that I had. still won't sync.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
I know about ActiveSync error, but I'm unable to fix it now, as I don't know what's wrong. It's possible what somethings wrong with the OS itself, but I'm not able to test that as there are no new builds anymore. I thought that I messed up something in OEM part, so I cooked WM6.1 (5.2.21054) to check if it sync and yes it does.

So, for now if you need fully functional ActiveSync - use v4.

:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
Do I understand right - you didn't change OEM part, did you?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wazzaworld:
Hi all. the email issue has been really bugging me too. So I've spent a fair bit of timing researching it.

Some forums say that there is a problem with the \windows\htmlnote.dll file. So iI set about getting different versions of it and copying over the original. No luck though. The file I have in my WM6.5 v6 ROM seems to be 560KB. If I delete this the ROM recreates the file automatically but it is about 826KB instead - and doesn't work either.

I was wondering about extracting this htmlnote.dll from WM6.5v4 as I know this worked. Can anyone do that and post it? I don't fancy a downgrade to do it myself.

Also, I read in the following thread that email uses some HTML templates \Windows\read_note.htm and \Windows\compose_note.htm to read and write the mail.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=468953&page=4

Looking at the v6 ROM I can't see these files at all. I'm wondering if you can't read or write email because these files are just not there?

I did try and copy a sample file from another thread to \Windows but it didn't work. Though this may have been because I'd tampered with the htmlnote.dll file previously!

Does anyone have these files in v4 they can post too?

In the meantime I am using qMail to get my pop3 emails - but it only works for plain text! That does seem that it is specifically an html email issue.

Hope this gets fixed soon.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wazzaworld:
Thanks for this. Tried the files but no luck initially. I will try a hard reset/format and get the original WM6.5v6 htmlnote.dll back in place and try again though. I think I've messed things up with the swap around as certain icons are no longer appearing to the left of email subjects in Pocket Outlook!

For the htmlnote.dll on a v4 device you'll need to use something like ROMExtractor. You can run it on your PDA directly and can browse to ROM files for extraction. You can't copy files direct from ROM otherwise unfortunately.

ROMExtractor attached. Hope you can grab the file for me.

Hello Guys!

THX for Your work!

You are the reason I've just bought hx2750, and You are making me happy.

Anyway, I'm using v5 rom, and I was not able to conntect device with activesync.

So I searched forum for answer, but with no luck,

that is why I have play around a bit with this issue myself.

I'm not sure if this is still relevant, but the solution for

activesync connection problem for v5 rom is:

1. Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC

2. Uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality"

3. Click "OK" - there will be "wm wait animation" and no realy action ("Settings" will hang)

4. Soft-reset device

5. Activesync connection is working now.

Not sure If You need this "advanced network...", but now, You can install apps.

Sorry if it was posted earlier.

Greetings,

andi

News:

And... it only "hangs" if its connected to usb, if it's not, You can uncheck option from step 2, no reset needed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Interesting! That option is already disabled by default in v4 and causes no issues.

Will the solution be that simple?

Has anybody else tried this?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeverGone\RU:
After disabling "Adv. network functionality" ActiveSync can connect with iPAQ (i.e. browse files, install software...), but will result in an error 80180001 when trying to sync Outlook items.

Spiaatie, you're the greatest! thx a lot
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
110 series iPAQ does not have any cooked ROMs so far, as it's to hard or maybe not even possible for now and would require advanced knowledge.

There is no easy tools you can use.

Maybe it could be possible by using 210 series iPAQs ROM as a base and combine parts from 110 series together. But that's something you probably can't do on your own. And it's way to hard for me to explain that.

:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wazzaworld:
Great.

Just to confirm that a hard-reset to restore the htmlnote.dll file and copying in these .htm files did not work. The WM6.5v6 htmlnote.dll file is 835.57KB in size for info. I believe one I tried to copy was from WM6.1 and is 560KB - so probably unlikely to work anyway.

Look forward to trying the one from v4 - but I don't hold much hope :-(.

Will let you know the results though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marianojg:
