HP rw6815 ROM update: 1.12.00 (24 Jul 2007)

[galerio]

Hi,
I have a HP rw6815 with an old ROM in Italian language. I've found on hp website the ROM upgrade (v.1.12.00 (24 Jul 2007)) for the English version.
Anyone has made this upgrade from a language different from English to this one in English?

Where can I find the AKU version of my HP? (What "AKU" stands for?? :confused: )
:rolleyes:

Is there any way to backup my old ROM and to reinstall it?

Thanks

You need to mod the update program to get rid of the language limitation. AKU - Adaptation Kit Upgrade, just like Service Packs on desktop Windows. You can search detailed info on Google. You will find your AKU info on Settings - System - About, in line 2 you will see something like "OS 5.1.478 (build 15698.3.5.2)", that means this device runs AKU 3.5.2.

You can always download ROMs from official site.

build 15698 is only AKU 3.5.0 / build 15706 is AKU 3.5.2

there is a way to backup the ROM. to dump it on an SD card, but getting it back would entail a lot of work. However, if you would be kind enough to share the ROM dump of the new upgrade. The ATOM community would be grateful to you. :D

I just hacked into this ROM. Sadly, this is still an old ROM, though, it is released just recently.

[Core OS]
Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs

[Versions]
OEM: 5.1.0.2600
SYS: 5.1.14989.2600
SYS: 5.1.14989.0
SYS: 5.1.65535.65535
NET: 1.0.4294.0

This means it is an AKU 2.6; so, no need to dump this ROM.

[galerio]

My hp rw6815 already comes with the same OS build (5.1.14989.2600) of the ROM upgrade... So this is only an update that fixes some bugs.. But because of the many bugs it has, I need to install it.
How can I mod the installation program to get rid of the language limitation? Is there someone who has already done it and tryed on their rw6815?

Thanks

I'm not sure if this will work, but in our Atom, we just enter into bootloader mode before upgrading.

Where I can find detailed information how to do it (I need to change polish ROM into english one)?

Thank to Russian guys from 4pda.ru I found how to update my ROM to 1.12.00 WWE (from polish ROM).
The answer how to do it has been published by ArHon and I hope he don't mind if I present his solution here :)
At the following location: http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/939824/hpRUU.rar there are two patched hpRUU.exe files. First one is for language change only, second one is for both: language and models change between rw6818 and rw6815 and vice versa. Thank you ArHon.

Best regards,

Damn!!! Why can't I speak Russian!!!
But please bigu1975, tell us what have you done on your rw6815.
Is it now in English?
Is it now a rw6818? (but, what for? I know that 6818 model has radio FM, but hasn't got WiFi!!!)
So, tell us more!!! :cool:

The problem is that my russian is also very poor. I just used first file (language patched only) and I upgraded my polish ROM from 1.10.05 to english ROM 1.12.00. I have rw6815 and I used the orginal english ROM for my device.
I used the following procedure:

1. I downloaded from HP web the ROM update for rw6815 - sp35815.exe file.
2. I duble clicked on them and extracted all files. When the update application run I clicked on cancel.
3. I deleted orginal hpRUU.exe file from created by sp35815.exe IPAQ directory.
4. I copied then new patched file from provided link.
5. I run upgrade proccess as it is described by HP. This time the hpRUU.exe program didn't check my language, so after 15minutes I have new ROM :cool:

I believe that using second patched hpRUU.exe you can load the rw6818 ROM into rw6815 (and vice versa) but I didn't check this.

eheh :) I cannot ask you to translate whole forum!! By now I use Babylon Translator...

But if you can go to that forum, read all posts and make us a summary...

And maybe, can you ask them if there is a way to backup old rom before update? I'm not sure that my warrenty could remain valid after update...

Thanks

If I correctly understood the russian posts there is a way to backup the ROM on SD card but it is rather hard to brink it back :(
In the link to forum there is a link to file which makes the ROM backup on SD card.
