I've got a Trendnet 300n router. I have to enable WPA-PSK AES if I want to get the 300n speed. This rom seems to only support TKIP..... so for now I can't connect my 4700 to wireless. Anyone have a work around for this.

Cheers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spud42:
4700 can only do 802.11b &g cant do n...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MannyMania:
Yeah I know it cant do N but it will connect with B if it can use WPA-PSK with AES encryption. I have an O2 XDA Flame on wm6.5 it connects on G and it works fine.

So can the 4700 do WPA-PSK with AES encryption on B or do you have to be on G. Maybe just the wireless radio driver in this rom needs to be updated??

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] canclan:
Thanks for the replies! Well I *thought* that Marusaia was correct (since I could connect to the same router(s) with WEP). Spud42, are you sure that you got connected with WPA? What Netgear router are you using? I have tried both a FWAG114 and a WGR614 with no joy. Are you setting anything special in the router settings? I do not think that either of these routers support AES, they are both TKIP I think (and WPA not WPA2).

I have the same KB which worked under WM5 with the WM2003 drivers. I have the exact same problem as raycast. Has *anyone* had any luck getting it to run with WM6/6.5? I would love to get this thing going again as it is a slick little unit and runs on AAAs!

Still even with these major annoyances, the old 4700 has never looked or ran better!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Big Bad Bill:
Sorry i'm totally new at this and i'm not too sure where i'm going wrong

I've got windows 7 installed on my pc i've installed the vista drivers in compatibility mode.

i have mobile device centre not Active Sync installed on my PC, does this matter?

anyway I think i've got bootloader activated it says usb v1.01 on my HX4700 its in the cradle and i've run the bootloader tool but a small screen comes up with

Status : Checking for and closing activesync processes....

and a button saying Show/Hide Terminal Window

I'm not sure what window this refers too but hitting the button does nothing that i can spot:confused:

the HX4700 has been docked for over an hour now and nothing seems to be happening this is my second attempt at this and i'm sure i'm messing something simple up but as i'm new to this I don't really know what... please help:D

Thanks in advance BBB
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] canclan:
Although I see people seem to make it work with Win7, I gave up trying Win7 (granted only after ~5 minutes of trying) and I switched to an XP laptop without activesync/MDC installed. It loaded with no problems whatsoever - twice in fact. If you are going to stick with Win7, you might want to try uninstalling the MDC and then try loading the rom, then reinstall MDC. If you do try that, be careful you do not lose anything you want to keep (files, etc).

HX4700 wifi problems

Regarding the wifi problems of hx4700, it is possible to solve this by using something like WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) ?

hp ipaq hx4700 doesn't power up

Hi guys,

When i was trying to flash the rom, I think the battery died when flashing was 73% complete so, now I can't power it up. I don't have the actual power adapter with me right now, therefore I can't try if it'll take charge from the power adapter, but it definately doesn't charge up from the usb. I'm wondering if I did something seriously wrong. I'll be able to try with a power adapter within an hour or two. Can someone assure me that it'll be fine, so I stop freaking out :))

So first off thanks for a great update. The install went very smoothly thanks to great instructions.

Though I am having some trouble with ActiveSync 4.5, I am using Windows XP and when my 4705 is in the cradle the computer or ActiveSync is not seeing the device.

Any suggestions or is this still the correct software to use with the 6.5 update?

Trouble installing 6.5 ROM

Installed 6.1 on my HP 4700 some three years ago with success. Now after four efforts to install the new 6.5 I allways end up with WM 2003 when hard resetting - restarting. And that was not really what I had in mind. Have updated to latest firmware I could find on HP site. Is it possibly neccesary to install ROM 5 from HP before trying this one. Another thing, according to HP and confirmed by my efforts a hard reset is done by pressing Calendar+iTask+reset. Contact+Inbox+reset as it is said here does not work wih mine. I do not know if it matters really. My installation fails anyway. And I have got no use för WM 2003. The ROM I have tried is:Update_SP_Roadster_v1_C_ENG. If anyone of you have a clue I would be very thankful.... ;-) At the moment I try with the: Update_SP_Roadster_v1_T_ENG.7z - but as I have only some 64 mb memory and not 128 it seems not to be relevant.

BilliBoy,

Jo napot kivanok.

I have been using two navigation apps on my 4705.

GPSTuner ... Euro plus NorthAmerican versions. Their satellite maps are very good and included in the license. My TUNER folder hold about 10GB of map data ... your mileage may vary. The maps are down-loadable in segments and by country or region.

The other is DeLorme's StreetAtlas-PLUS ... for US and Canada. Their satellite maps are inferior to those via GPSTuner and are an add-on purchase. But their map presentation on the display is like you're looking at a map. It has very good point-point and multi point route planning. This app's map segmets at 4MB max to the PPC ... else the PPC's response is much slower.

Both of these navigation apps require a PC ... to install and manage onto the PPC.

As for storage ... you can populate the SD slot with up to 4GB. The CF slot ... I have used every size my current card at 64GB ... and have my page-pool at 16MB.

Let us know what you have decided.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 93nav:
Has anyone had any sucsess with a SD to Compact Flash adapter? (so you can read sd and sdhc cards in the compact flash slot). I read a post somewhere quite a while ago about someone who was doing that, but I cannot find it again. I do not want to buy an adapter that does not work.

Also, since there are discussions about GPS, what hardware software combinations work good on a 64meg 4700? More details the better (I am kind of a noob)

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FrankKF:
93nav,

You can use an "SDtoCF" adapter ... mine is from Delkin Devices (www.delkin.com).

I sue it for file transfer to and from my SD card slot (4GB card) on my hx4705. It works well.

Today's Calender "all day" events not showing

(I searched this threat and didn't find anyone with this problem)

First of all, great ROM! My old hx4700 has begun a second life now!

My "all day" events are not shown in my Today list when I have it selected in the settings. Does anyone had that problem before?

My Today's screen is not the "default" screen but my own choice: date, tasks, calendar. I selected "upcoming appointments" and "display all day events". I also made sure today's date is actually today's date :-)

nb: I get the feeling maybe my configuration is not saved correctly, because I also have a minor glitch that prevents me changing my "backlight off" settings... Everything else works (not tested Bluetooth though)

IMCDECA ...

RE 64 or 128 MB memory. 128 is a much better choice even at this stage of the 4700's life. Of course it depends what your needs are. Mine at 128BM with 16MB PagePool runs my mapping apps (dogs w 64MB) quite well; runs high quality movies very well, music OK; large 3-8MB images well, etc. Also can run more than one app and switch readily among them.

I've been trying this for a few days and it works very well on a 64 MB machine. Some questions:

- the text for options is really huge, much larger than it needs to be (I mean when you press the "Menu" button for some program and the menu that pops up then). Is it possible to set this smaller?

- Does anyone know a much smaller virtual keyboard? The current one is so huge and takes up far too much space.

- And what browser does everyone use? Everything but PIE seems to crash constantly and is unusable.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FrankKF:
Pinstripes,

My experience with this PPC and its various ROM iterations along the way is that you might want to reinstall your machine ... WM6.5. Best done from a PC with WXP ... follow the instructions ... your problems should be resolved.

Let us know what happened.

Hi,

Are these the instructions you followed:

Windows 7 - Update Procedure :::...

Open ROM folder, find Vista_Drivers.exe.

Right click on it and Properties, then Compatibility and set to Windows Vista - OK.

Now launch Vista_Drivers.exe - New usb drivers will be installed.

Enter iPAQ into bootloader mode and connect it to PC.

Launch UPDATE_TOOL.exe and choose spiaatie_wm65_hx4700.nb0

ROM should update now.

If I remember well "T" version is for 128MB RAM upgraded device and the "C" version for the vanilla one. Which one is yours? I hope you're trying with the right one.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tonyanderson2269:
Hello, everyone!

I'm an old school, and I'm still (embarrassed) using 2003SE with my (dilapidated) beloved hx4700, but I believe there's a future for it with your dedicated and great work for this device.

A primary reason that I'm still using the old OS, because I have lots --yes, lots -- of games and other programs that are running with this OS nearly impeccable. However, I'm afraid that if I upgrade to 6.5, I'm worried about software incompatibility.

Any advice or suggestions, I'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FrankKF:
Tony,

I've had a similar fear ...

You might look at this multi-step procedure:

a. Backup your current system ...

b. Get a copy of the ROM currently on your 4705

c. Burn the latest ROM to your 4705. This will require that you re-install all your apps.

d. Test each of your apps ... most will likely work and WORK MUCH BETTER.

e. If you are not satisfied with results ... you can revert back to your starting point (burn the "old" ROM)

f. Recover from your backup.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tonyanderson2269:
I'm quite grateful for your advice, yet very encouraging and upbeat. However, at this point, I'm still a bit nervous as I about to take a plunge.

hx4700 information:

--2003SE OS (again, I'm still an old school)

--Brand new battery (includes backup battery)

--128 RAM

--Countless of programs

--The device is rather new (for me); I only use about 30 times since it debuted

--Also, I can be run from my desktop with XP Professional or my laptop with W7.

If you could walk me through the installing process and procedure, it'd be great.

Thanks,

Hello,

I just acquired an almost pristine hx4700! I would dearly love to install WM6.5 Classic on it but, alas, the download links say that file (ROM file) cannot be downloaded for some sort of violation reason.

Would someone on this forum let me know where I can obtain a copy of the Classic 6.5 Roadster rom. From the comments on this thread, it sounds like exactly what I had hoped to find for my new toy.

I am a long standing fan of Spiaatie's ROMs. My old and trusted hx2495b has been running his 6.5 ROM for months. Its so solid and reliable that I gave it to my girl friend and she loves it!

Many many thanks!

Thank you so much for the new ROM, I'm enjoying it! One suggestion I have is to remove the MOBILE OFFICE files, they can be installed to the storage card later.
