Already did it . If I just copy those file , it doesn't work . Any file that I need to modify ? like HV or initflashfiles.dat ? Because I'm just start pocket PC , so my knowledge of this system is very poor .

Phone dead now . Search through web and try hundred way to reset , refesh , The phone no respone. I can't even on the Power .

Will send it back to HP service center. Hope not so expensive.

simply copying the extended ROM file will not work because your DOC (disc-on-chip) was formatted differently. You might consider changing all the other programs that need to search for the extended ROM to do it locally.

For instance, most of the files located in the extended ROM are the skin files for the FM Radio, Wireless Manager, Network settings, etc. All these you already have with your existing WM5 hprw6828. Now if this doesn't work, you can look for an hp wm6 device with an extended ROM.

The Atom series is not an exact clone of the hprw6828. Your device drivers are different, and the programs written may not necessarily work on your ipaq.

If you still want to go after changing your DOC format, please look for bepe's thread on Trinity which removes the DOC from their device. You can study how he removed it. Your process is the reverse.

Please do post your developments. Good Luck!

cheers,
Jiggs

Thanks Jiggs , a guy from 'PdaFans' creat a cab file call HP68X8 EXTROM.cab . I download and run in my phone . Than most of the feature work , Only problem is the wireless manager display in chinese , O2 Album tile become funny word. I think could be cause by language difference , because the guy wn6 is chinese simplify version . And also the rom that the guy use to modify is difference with mine .

I upload the file in mediafire . Please check and let me know what the guy did .

Cheers

Okay, I looked at this. What he did is an alternative method of putting the necessary files in the right folder. He created a subfolder named \_QHiddenPartition\ -> the name of the extended ROM. You can do this though, but you can leave out the installation cabs on the extended ROM as this will surely double copy them from ROM.

To do this effectively would mean to recreate the root folder from initflashfiles.dat copying the files from ROM to the subfolder \_QHiddenPartition\. An alternative would be to ZIP it on one file and unzip it on \_QHiddenPartition\ to minimize \Windows files. Too many files in \Windows affects performance index.

This is the easy way out, but you will not have the benefits of the real extended ROM. Also, that our ROM 62.5MB (approx) has limited space to store all the files.

If you will be implementing our ROMs, you will need to modify the MortScript to not look for install cabs in \_QHiddenPartition\

At least with this, hp 6828, you can get to enjoy ATOM WM6 WWE now. :D

Now, this is real good news!

Thanks Jiggs, at least with that solution , I manage to run your rom for pass two week and the rom not give me much problem.

So now I just wait for my phone back than I will try other way to solve this ExternalRom.

Hope can upload a better rom to HP6828 user soon.

bravo :D

think now you will need WinCE cab manager (or similar app) to rebuild the cab file (replace the content with English files)
