wm 6.x on IPAQ HW6915 FINALLY WORKS!!!

Hello everybody

FINALLY WM6 on IPAQ HW6915 WORKS!!! I just installed it using the 6915 custom rom.

here is the instruction I followed:

1.Connect your device to activesync(suggest a hard reset first,however it's optional)

2.Extract SPL vG.39.7z anywhere you want.

3.Run ''Command prompt'' (if using vista/7 RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR)

4.Enter this command pdocwrite spl -n0 -b 0x20000 0 0x80000 (WAIT UNTIL IT FINISHES).This command replaces a file in the ROM which allows you to flash ''non-original roms'' basically software CID unlocking which allows flashing of ''cooked roms''

5.You will get warnings on your hp regarding a dll file(itsutils.dll) PRESS YES

6.Put your device in bootloader mode.[hold the two buttons next to the joystick(the round thingy) and shortly tap the reset button with your stylus

7.Open activesync,go to connections and untick allow USB connections

8.Extract 6915_ENG.7z and run Sable_RUU

9.Press on the big ''Upgrade button''

10.There will be a progress bar, when it's done it should say something like '' Update finished !!''

11.Go back to activesync and re-tick allow USB connections

I have tested phone and wifi - all run well. still remain to test the GPS though...

For the upgrade to WM6 I recommend winXP as there are no hassles with administrative account, especially when the string pdocwrite spl -n0 -b 0x20000 0 0x80000 (see item 4. of the instruction).. which btw is the CRUTIAL Step for the upgrade to go successfully.

here is a brief step-by-step of what I did:

Preparation:

As I was using my old laptop that had winXP installed already, I only downloaded .NET 2.0. Although .NET is not esential I installed it just in case...

I Installed MS Activesync 4.5 /available on MICROSOFT website for download/.

Once I had those installed, I conneected the cradle to the laptop and put my IPAQ in it so that winXP recognises it.

NOW THE FUN PART

1. MAKE SURE THE 'ALLOW USB CONNECTION' is ticked (right click on MS activesync icon on your taskbar -> Connection Setting).

2. Put your HW6915 into the cradle and allow it to syncronise data to your computer.

3. Once the sync is done go to your SPL_vG.39 folder and from it execute the command: pdocwrite spl -n0 -b 0x20000 0 0x80000 (WAIT UNTIL IT FINISHES).

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP AS IT replaces a file in the ROM which allows you to flash ''non-original roms'' (basically software CID unlocking which allows flashing of ''cooked roms'').

4. You will get warnings on your hp regarding a dll file(itsutils.dll) PRESS YES TO INSTALL IT ON YOUR HP IPAQ HW6915.

5. Put your device in bootloader mode.[hold the two buttons next to the joystick(the round thingy) and shortly tap the reset button with your stylus...

6.Open activesync,go to connections and

untick allow USB connections

.

7.Extract 6915_ENG.7z and run Sable_RUU

8.Press on the big ''Upgrade button''

9.There will be a progress bar, when it's done it should say something like '' Update finished !!''

Once it is done your IPAQ will reset itself.

First the familiar HP screen that shows the version of your ROM 1.21

BRACE YOURSELF FOR A PLEASANT SURPRISE!!!

Once it reboots it'll ask you to calibrate the screen (the famous + will appear -> CUT/Paste )

re-enter the PIN of your GSM Card and you're good to go...

Good luck to you all....
