HP iPaq hw6955 with WM6, seen it working but how?

[chris_7948]

Hello,
i have recently returned from an HP conference in LV and when at their mobile phone booth the guy there showing off the new phones from hp had a hw6955 (his personal phone) running WM6, now i have searched every where for some sort of documentation on how to do this and can not find any thing. Does any one know how to put an unofficial version (that works) of WM6 on an HP hw6955 could you please let me know.

Thanks for your help

[chris_7948]

stupid question but i cant seem to find an answer:

1. What is the difference between the hw6955 and hw6915, are they the same but designed to be sold in different countries?

2. If they are the same what image for WM6 should i use for the hw6955?

Thanks

Maybe it was wisbar wm6 theme, not an original WM6 rom.

[chris_7948]

Maybe it was wisbar wm6 theme, not an original WM6 rom.

I did play with it and it defiantly was WM6, with a background info "HP beta"

[papizdono]

then maybe we will get a WM6 update afterall :)

[chris_7948]

has any one tried installing WM6 on this, perhaps one of the universal copies?

I did play with it and it defiantly was WM6, with a background info "HP beta"

Hopefully HP will release upgrade for us soon...

[acid123]

i do have a copy of wm6 which is universal, if anyone wants to try it on there hw6915 then let m eknow and i'll upload it for you.....

[chris_7948]

But can some one please tell me the difference between the hw6915 and hw6955????
will that rom work on both?

[crzymonkey]

hey,
i will try it on my ipaq 6945 please upload

[afbcamaro]

A universal WM6 Rom will not work on the ipaq unless drivers for the unit have been added and the rom properly formatted for the unit. We dont even have a flashing utility for the 69XX series since they have not released a single update for them. :0

[nomad212]

To answer your question, all 6900 devices are pretty much the same, just where it was released. For instance I have a 6915 which is a UK edition phone,the 6945 is the american version for cingular. If you can get a rom for WM6 from an HP 69xx .....I will try to load it

[acid123]

ok will upload the wm6 update on sunday for you too download....

Lookup for
“hp Universal BootLoader Launcher”
“hp BootLoader”
You will find this

Intriguing... Now this flash utility has been confirmed to work with ALL 69XX..? For example I have a cingular Branded 6925 and would like to unbrand to a 6945 standard rom. Is there a known working ROM that will not brick the 69XX, any CID locking issues.

This is were I see the problem, I own a 8125 and what they have that we don't is that they have everything documented as to what works and we do not.


What models....
CID locking issues? I dont even know if my 6925 has any protection mechanism for flashing an unbranded rom from the cingular stock one.

Simunlocking we can take care of with a service for 20 dollars, so no big deal there.

One baseline that we can all converge on would be an excellent start point.

Not one confirmed Rom that has been tested by the community and a utility bundled with such a rom. And if there is I will usually get a link to a link that has dead links in it, with no actual prof of concept.

After this baseline we could definitely begin modifying our phones. EVEN IF IS A KNOWN WORKING WM5 ROM..... All we have is a forum in one corner of the web and another that had one guy with an unconfirmed DUMP of a rom work. (or not) there is only two or three examples of this with dead links. (I felt exited when just know somebody showed me a universal flash utility that might work with it, and thank you) but i cannot find this utility or confirmations of what does work with it etc.

Once that community attitude spreads then everyone can contribute in a smal part to the advancements of this device. To me this is more of a hobby than just a phone and I am sure many here agree with me.


What I propose for now since we have a low volume of people on this forum is to make a single thread and share what we have with pros cons, verified unverified experience confirmations until we have what does work and what doesnt and we then move from there. (and uploads to such files for testing and verifications version numbers etc)

I left the Wizard because it has all been figured out already, and bought this device to see what could be done. I guess I am a sick individual. We need unification but maybe there are not to many of us to make this happen, or maybe since our devices were pricier than others we just dont want to be bothered. :-(

[EREZYAD]

can not find my orig instaltion file 'just googled it and the is one you can try for your self
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubl/

from what i recall you will also find a beta VER and a fully completed VER
just google it like now i just did :)
hope it will help you on your device 'it did on the 4700

[afbcamaro]

EREZYAN I am in your debt......

Any confirmed flash success with this utility on 69XX devices?

Anybody know if a branded device has a form of CID Lock to prevent any attempt at installing a non-branded rom (69XX units). (Any actual confirmation of this Please chime in)

Are there roms available (if any), just straight dumps of the devices? Any confirmation of these dumps working with this utility or others. (69XX)

My plan is to collect as much information on these devices and put them in an understandable fashion for most. =more volunteers and more testing of these devices to move forward.

[Jussi77]

there's utility called sable_ruu.exe which should do the trick...

[afbcamaro]

Please dont joke with me. You have increased happiness to all time highs..... AAHH can't find this anywhere.

Have you verified this as working... Any hints on finding this........ Any more information would be much appreciated.. Thank you

[mcwtrekkie]

Wow .. hot stuff!

Now that there's a bootloader for the Sable, does that mean that a custom WM6 ROM can be created and flashed onto a device?

[afbcamaro]

This is still unconfirmed. I have not been able to find even a mention of this utility. But if found it could definitely be a start. A good start!

[txschafers]

So does anyone have WM6 runn ing on their HP 69xx series phone?

[Jussi77]

Ok - i grabbed hw69xx flashing utility from HP's site.
this is used for radio from flashing but i suppose it's "same-o-general"
utility which detects NBF files within same directory and flashes those.

[afbcamaro]

Jussi77 thats a great find and thank you....

[varix]

Hello Jussi77

Could You send or publish original English ROM (.nbf) for hw69XX?

[afbcamaro]

He might not have this. He said he found it because it is posted as a radio update utility. And yes ive checked it and it is the full fledge flash utility for the HTC Sable. Funny I'm trying to look at this and don't even have a 69XX device yet!! Should be in the mail LOL

On the other hand if somebody has a NBF OS and EXTROM NBF that is known working with the 69XX factory English is fine then please inform us of this. (This can expedite work incredibly.) Or if not and you do know how to DUMP your rom please inform us as well.

[iam25boy]

I am using Hw6945 right now. How can I dump the rom? I could like to help. thx.

he says that before he did the reset there was a program in memory something like mms settings phone dat man or upgrade something like that but it's no there anymore.. but the phone works it's just the multimedia that doesn't any idea?? do i need to unlock it again or load a new rom??

[EWP]

[EWP]

I will try the Universal WM6 on my IPAQ 6925. Please upload. Thanks.

Another question: How do I flash a 6945 ROM on my 6925 device. When trying to flash using the HP flash tool it tells me that my device does not have the correct SKU ID. Is there either a way to change the SKU ID of my device or go around that step...?

[galma]

Please, please
I would like to ask you to send me the file RADIO.NBA for iPAQ hw6915
Thank you in advance for your promptness..

HW6900 is only a 2G device. I guess that the 3G and 4G radio roms do not work on HW6900 series.

As I remember is something memory related, and you can make the difference in System/About.
