No it doesn't look like it does. I was just thinking it would be nice to do to complete the unRoot process. I would hate for anyone to unroot their device to take back to at&t and get busted out for tethering. I suspect it could be an easy add to the original script but I lack the skills.

I am still curious about the method used for tethering in the script and how it compares to the one referenced in my earlier post that modify the existing APNs. Again I don't know enough to really understand the different approaches. Does anyone know which is better? I want to occasionally tether to my Xoom, but I don't want to lose my unlimited data plan by doing so.

All it does is it adds another carrier.. nothing else.. you'll never get busted for it.. ever. only one that can bust you are die hard people.. and ATT is not that.

if it really bothers you here's an edited unRoot.bat that removes those..

Nothing happening

Sorry to dredge this back up after a few days... I'm getting nothing when I run aRoot. It runs through the routine in about 5 seconds like someone else mentioned earlier and then nothing happens. I tried everything in this thread except for installing the Android.sdk. A few posters mentioned this wasn't necessary in their case.

I believe it has something to do with a comment in post #90: "The script cannot find your device, drivers not installed, or device not connected."

I downloaded the drivers, (more than once) - no luck. I even removed everything and hard reset the phone to start from scratch... still no luck.

I ensured USB debugging.... basically all the things listed. If someone is willing to take this offline and help me work through it I'd appreciate it. My limited knowledge is probably getting in my way, but I'm convinced that the phone isn't being recognized...

For the record I'm on a PC with Windows 7 and my phone was already rooted once using SOC. I am attempting to load over SOC. I unrooted once and attempted to load aRoot clean and now have put SOC back on to try that way... Thank you ahead of time,
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jarsh92:
Try turning USB debugging off. Then connect it to your Computer and see if it installs the drivers. If it does you should be good to go. I also changed the USB connection type after it installed the drivers to make sure I had them all installed for each mode. Then go back and turn on USB debugging. Make sure you install it in the same USB port each time.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] xdaLurker:
Just thought I would mention this again in case you aren't doing this but maybe you already have. I had similar issue trying to run this and was using windows 7. Make sure you run cmd in Administrator mode. Even though my windows user account had admin rights it wasn't running it properly (I'm sure it's probably some security feature of windows 7:rolleyes: ). I had to actually right clicked cmd and select "run as Administrator" and that fixed it for me.

Thanks

Thanks. I had already done that before. I decided to switch to my macbook with win7 on it (Parallels). I methodically went through everything and it worked the second time... Appreciate the reply

Ah, I see. So no worries then - but thanks for the script changes. I will keep it just in case.

Thanks for your help,

[Atrix 4G Android Development] tt100b:
Thanks. Now that you mention it, switching computers (which is what ended allowing it to work) REALLY only probably resulted in getting on a Windows where I DID have Admin rights! Well, it worked... Thanks for the input. I'll check that when I get home tonight

Also, thanks to DG for a great effort, and all others on this thread for useful input. I already like my phone much, much more,

Maybe I'm missing a step...

If I press Mobile Media (button 1) + iTask (button 4) + Power + Reset

I get a blank white screen with the HP logo in the center and the revision #'s on the top...

From here (Bootloader screen - right???) rx3115 will try to flash ROM from an SD card if one is inserted that has a ROM image. Unfortunately I don't have a valid image except the 1.01.11 ROM of WM 2003 that I want to upgrade away from.

However - and this may be where I'm missing a step - without an SD card inserted I can't get bootloader to show USB connection. I've tried every button and combo of buttons I can to try and get USB to show up on the bootloader screen.

I feel like I'm missing something and that next step will allow Universal Bootloader to force flash a WM6.1 ROM under XP.

Any help? Anyone? How to get USB connection for bootloader with rx3115?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RumoredNow:
Handhelds.org continues to be down for maintenance. They are the distribution and support site for Familiar Linux, an alternative iPAQ OS. They were supposed to be reopened last week... :(

Angstrom Linux has shown itself capable of running on iPAQ and I found a very in depth tutorial - LOL - but it's in Spanish. I'm sorry to say me Spanish es no bueno. There's even a video on YouTube of Angstrom on an iPAQ rx3115 - so I know it can be done. Again though, it's in Spanish.

Today I'm checking out a "Live RAMdisk" version of Angstrom. It's like a LiveBoot CD Linux. You can boot and run Linux from storage (SD card) without installing. Instead of "try before you buy," it allows you to test before you install. At least I will get a chance to see how the Angstrom OS handles without having to flash my ROM and then reflash if I want to revert to WM 2003.

They have LiveRAMdisk and install versions supported for iPAQ h2200, h3900, h4000 and hx4700. The h5000 series is still in testing. More information is @ angstrom-distribution.org/taxonomy/term/6

I'm going to try the LiveRAMdisk version for the h2200 series as it's closest to rx3115. Same RAM and ROM, but the h2200 uses an Intel Xscale CPU rather than the Samsung... Still, it's the closest hardware match to the rx3115 out of all the supported models.

I'll post back about how AngPAQ handles. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RumoredNow:
HandHelds.org is still down. :( A shame since my research indicates Familiar Linux associates closely with PDAs...

Seems Ubuntu had a project they've abandoned or moved beyond (depending on your perspective), but the hardware requirements are way beyond iPAQ. They do have some stables for anyone interested. Google Ubuntu Mobile or Ubuntu MDI. Might be a nice alternative for some earlier tablet users...

Like they say..... BACKUP your data before any major changes!!!

I did try the LiveRAMdisk version of Angstrom Linux for h2200...

The LiveRAMdisk is a 23mb self executing file that you open from the root of your SD card. It was a non-starter. After booting from my SD card the iPAQ froze. I did a hard reset and freed up as much memory as I could from WM 2003 before trying again. Same result.

No worries, restored from backup and all is OK with my rx3115.

Just to be sure I tried with another method called a Loopback Image. I downloaded an Angstrom/Opie (full PDA style GUI) image and a bootloader from the Angstrom repository as another method of running Angstrom from my SD card. You use 7zip to extract the downloaded .bz2 and it inflates into a robust sized image (96mb in the case of h2200). Add the image and the bootloader to the same location on your SD card (preferably root). Execute the bootloader and run Angstrom off of your SD card. This too failed to run after several attempts...

LOL - another hard reset and restore from back up after each try.

I'm convinced it's a hardware incompatibility due to the difference in processors between h2200 and rx3115. But, darn it, if you look at development boards you find that they use Angstrom on boards with the same Samsung s3c2440 CPU that rx3115 has.

Next step is to try and find some of the Angstrom versions used on those development boards... And hope I get more than a bare-bones, command line only GUI.

If you have one of the supported iPAQs (h2200, h3900, h4000, h5000 or hx4700) it may well be worth your while to try running a Loopback Image from your SD or CF card. A full Linux emvironment when you want and you can always hard reset and restore to get back to Windows Mobile. More information can be found @:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RumoredNow:
Well, the Angstrom online builder won't give me Opie in a build for a mini2440 board. :(

I did find a .tar.bz2 that someone built up from Angstrom and marked as "Angstrom-opie-image-glibc-test-20070620-rx3000.rootfs.tar.bz2" (Thanx whynot). If I can convert the extracted .tar to .img I could try a Loopback Image with it from my SD card... Meanwhile, I suppose I have to start learning how to build up the bootloader myself. *sigh* Did I mention that I'm more of a hardware guy?

Handhelds.org still down. :(

Despite all the Linux talk I'm still trying to get a higher version of WinCE to install on rx3115... Options are good if you can manage to have them.

Ongoing Questions/Help Sought:

1) Anyone have a cooked ROM (or want to cook one) for iPAQ rx3115 that would flash WM5 or WM6.1 Classic to the rx3115?

2) Any help or suggestions with UBL (Universal BootLoader)?

a) Is the UBL I found @ sourceforge really infected with a worm?

(Note that it is marked as uploaded by the original UBL developer chrismrulz)

b) Am I better off leaving out the suspect Vista Drivers and just using an XP box to run UBL anyway?​

3) Why can't I get rx3115 to acknowledge USB under the iPAQ bootloader screen?

4) Could someone go over to HandHelds.org to knock on their door and tell them to get their site back up already? :D

5) Anyone know how to. or can suggest software to, Convert .tar to .img?

6) Any other Linux Distros I should be looking at as suitable for iPAQ rx3115?

7) Will anyone else post to this thread or am I just Blogging here? :p

a) Am I boring all the fine xda members? :o

b) Or are my bungling attempts at least providing a good laugh? :D​

It seems like your post there got a cook interested in our device. :D I posted some links and PMed him some info. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe he can port over the WM 6.1 Classic ROM that was among the links I sent him. (Thanks tomcug)

Meanwhile...

Handhelds.org is still down. :p

Angstrom has added a new release (2011.03), but the online builder still won't include Opie in the .tar for mini2440 boards (my best hope for a working Angstrom straight from the source). :(

I'm still holding out hope for the "Angstrom-opie-image-glibc-test-20070620-rx3000.rootfs.tar.bz2" that I found.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/f2fsd...age-glibc-test-20070620-rx3000.rootfs.tar.bz2

I just need to find the right kernel and HaRet bootloader for it to run from SD card...

I'm basing that work on this document for installing a Loopback Image which I got translated from Portuguese (Thanx Rubberman).

And I'm following the progress of whynot on another board where he documents his efforts to port Angstrom onto rx3115.

Here's a couple more things available for download...

The last official WM 2003 update (1.01.11) with installer

http://www.mediafire.com/file/i6k0935chhkgzlh/iPAQ rx3115 ROM 1_01_11.exe

The cooked ROM of WM 6.1 Classic designed for the rx1950. (.nbf file only)

http://www.mediafire.com/file/iu9p815w3yjpy6h/CEOS.nbf

In case any other cooks want to look at it. At 27.82mb it would just fit on rx3115 and may benefit from being trimmed down. Or someone might have more luck flashing it with the UBL mentioned above.

Here's the whole kitchen package from Victory144 and Guifort

http://www.mediafire.com/file/nna2yo92q2beiik/Flasher_Hp_Ipaq_rx1950_ENG_WM6.1.rar

It includes the installer and the .cab for the appropriate version of Mobile Office.

And just the Office cab for any WM 6.x users who may need it

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Markedwsan:
Great thread! I just recently started searching for Linux options for the two H3835's I have gathering dust. I retired them long ago for more modern hardware.

Now my kids (8 and 6) have taken over my (and my wife's), Android phones to play games on every time we get in the car. So I thought I'd see what I could do with the old iPaqs to make gaming devices for the kids. But before I can try to get any games running, I have to get an OS on them.

Anybody out there having any luck with the H3835? It appears from the Angstrom Forums that the "lightning fast" 206mhz StrongArm processor isn't up to the task of running Angstrom.

Handhelds.org is still down, so I can't try Familiar yet. I read somewhere else that the delay in bringing the site back up is due to the developers & site admins being adversely impacted by Nokia's recent decision to cease development on Maemo/Meego in favor of Windows Mobile 7. If that's the case, maybe it will be down permanently?

Sadly, I'm a compulsive tinkerer with old hardware and I may not be able to rest until I get it working or brick the silly things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RumoredNow:
Thanks for joining my thread Markedswan. :)

Yeah, Handhelds.org is still down... Interesting rumor - I think I read on a wiki page that there is a split among the developers over some code. The server owner may have frozen access pending legal clarifications. LMAO - It's supposed to be Open Source.

I too am a relentless tinkerer. I understand the upgrade or brick it mentality. :D

First thing I did was look up the h3835 specs on www.pdadb.net That Intel StrongARM SA-1110 CPU looked familiar from my research so I double checked...

NetBSD (Unix) supports lots of old hardware. Your CPU is in their Tier I support group (the highest level of support). http://netbsd.org/ports/#ports-tier1 (The hpcarm listing.) Clicking that link shows that your processor is supported. http://netbsd.org/ports/hpcarm/#processors

h3835 is not listed specifically, but your system architecture is the same as the h3600 series. The only difference is you have twice the ROM. The NetBSD package that I tried should boot on h3835 from the SD card.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ync2ltv3l7oo4si/NetBSD.rar

or if you prefer to get it from the source

http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-5.1/hpcarm/

Don't forget the MD5sum checker if you need it. A list of the MD5 sums for each file is in the NetBSD folder.

Good luck and be sure to go to http://netbsd.org/ for documentation and support help.

Interesting

Interesting work going on here. Have you tried Android 0.8? It seems to be the most light-weight and flexible choice of Android out there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RumoredNow:
Hmmm... That's a thought. I'll definitely look into it. I'm still trying to block out some time to get Angstrom to boot up. I finally got a working (or so my source says) HaRet. I just need the right Linux image.

But I'll give Android 0.8 a try for sure.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Markedwsan:
I've read that Android was too much for these devices. Memory on Android devices is in the Gigibytes (my phone has 10 GB on board I believe) while the iPaqs have less than 100mb typically (mine has 96mb between the RAM and ROM). I have no idea if that is truly the case though. Maybe with a decent size CF or SD card on board?

Rumorednow: NetBSD looks promising from what I've read on the website. Do you know off hand what window manager options will work with the handhelds? I wasn't seeing anything in the packages specifically for handhelds, maybe I missed something. I'll dig deeper, but thought I'd ask in case you knew.

I have the Compact Flash jacket for my 3835, so was thinking about trying Debian (which I'm more comfortable with) & can boot off a 1 GB Compact Flash card. Debian's site says the ARM version was designed with XScale processors and some of the custom router processors in mind, but the instruction set is specficially called out as being V4 for maximum compatability (the StrongARM in my iPaq uses the V4 instruction set) rather than the V5 native to the XScale series which came after StrongARM was introduced. So maybe it will work? I believe OPIE works with Debian as a window manager and that seems pretty slick and well supported.

I'll be living out of a suitcase for work pretty much all of May, so I'll have some time to tinker on this more in the evenings then. But, maybe someone will have it all figured out by then though? :D

Hi I'm new and registered specifically because of this thread:). I gotta agree with you, waaay too little support for the rx3115. I love this iPaq, have 2 of them and I use them for everything (especially with the nifty universal remote feature, I run around and turn things on and off and annoy my girlfriend a lot). As great as I think it is, it really needs some updating in any way possible really.

IPAQ Reply

I've got an iPAQ h4155, more commonly known as the "iPAQ 4150" with similar specs to the rx3115. I was actually talking with CMONEX for a while about cooking up WM6 on it, and it sounded like it was possible, but something happened to CMONEX: for a while, I could send a PM and get a reply by the end of the day, then there were gaps in replies, and finally, CMONEX just fell off the face of the earth. After talking to another "XDA Developer", it sounded like it wouldn't be possible at all without me getting a serious diploma in ARM and other stuff.

I've still got it though, it's a very fast and portable device.
