Very clean and stable WM6.1 roms for HP 6828 WWE b196 Update 21, /MUI/Atom/Kitchens

[helloworld1]

Hi Helloworld,

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I will post the Bluetooth section of the registry later when I'm near a computer.

I am out of idea now, this problem seems like the camera problem, temperamental, the BT hands free was OK before, only just recently it become like this.

This is what I done yesterday:

(1) Did a full backup of current state with SPB Backup.

(2) Hard reset, after initial setup, paired all 3 of my BT headsets, everyone of them working PERFECT!! no speaker phone, just normal, except for A2DP auto reconnect. So this confirmed SOMETHING is causing the problem.

(3) Restore backup made in (1) which has the BT problem.

(4) Upon reset... the problem has GONE?!! WTF? :confused: and the BT handsfree, wireless stereo have been working fine since (3)?!

I will still upload the .reg which supposed to have the problem later.

*sigh*...

Thanks,

K

I just had a thought, MAY BE... at some stage something has caused a hardware glitch in the 6828, into a state that it cannot get out of, until a hard-reset or the battery is taken out. If this happen again, I will try take the battery out to see.

Emmmmm, my wm6 rom really have some strange problem. All the rom works very well until one day, the the phone radio is not functional. It can not dectect my mobile operator, and then the camera flicker like mad. I hard reset several time and can not get it work. Roms from b29 to b46 all stop working. Interesting ? Strange?

Also, spb backup restores can not restore something. I don't get why. I installed resco explorer and can uninstall successfully. But after a full restore, I can neither uninstall or reinstall it!

This makes me recalling a programmer's phrase "Code rot". A program is working very well without any problem at first. And after leaving the code for a while, some problems occur. And after months, the code can not even be used due to serious problem just like the food rots. Maybe my roms rot!

Anyway, just for fun.

Hi Helloworld1,

how about hp audio in b110? is it working well? is the sound louder than the rom without hp audio?

Thanks for your great job.:):):)

[AlexHsueh]

Is't possible can make the Traditional Chinese WM6.1 ROM:confused:
Thanks:D

Hi Helloworld1,

Thanks for your great job.:):):)

The ipaq audio can enhance audio quality but can not make speaker laud though. The srs can co-work with ipaq audio. srs increases volume because it replaces the wavedev.dll with atom life one. I decide to keep hp's because the distortion seems less.

[helloworld1]

Is't possible can make the Traditional Chinese WM6.1 ROM:confused:
Thanks:D

I do not have a CHT wm6.1 rom as a model. So It will take me lots of time to translate the language file one by one, which is unacceptable and not interesting at all.

[pzo]

wow, u added ipaq audio already!! cool!!
i used to use your rom update 11, the sound louder, but no ipaq audio. no more 3D surround, so i change to Nhocbanme rom,

What is the output current of your car adaptor? mine is about 1A, and it charges OK, may be go to eBay or local electronic shop and get a new one that works (it's quite cheap here in Australia).

I used to be able to charge on USB from a Mac, but not anymore, however if I plug it into any Windows box/laptop, it will charge fine.

To charge from a Mac, there is a trick, install WM5torage, run the app and click activate, it will charge fine, may be you can try this on your car adaptor.

Hi kusanagi,
My car adapter is 1A.
Thanks for the information about WM5torage, neat little app and it lets the car charger charge the 6828 battery OK and also works on my Mac where it didn't before.
The bonus is being able to use the 6828 SD card as a thumb drive on PC and Mac. :D

Cheers.

Glad to hear it worked for you, and another Mac user with a 6828!

Good thing about WM5Storage is it's a freeware.

The Nhocbanme embedded the SRS WOW HD, right?

[pzo]

yup, he used both, srs and ipaq audio, but the volume is less loud.btw, do this rom only compatible with 6828?
last time, my 6818 wil hang and turn to white screen aftersome time. i used update 105 at that time.

Hello Helloworld
I'm still on b36.
I'm hesitating upgrading.
I read that the 6.1 ROMs comsumes more power. Is there a big difference beween b110 and b36 ?
The main bug I have is : if I soft reboot 3 (?) times the mobile, then I cannot switch on or off the WIFI. So sometime I have to unplug the battery.
Is this corrected since b36 ?
I also experience some freeze while I was playing around with the today themes screens.
No special problem with BT.
Thanks kusanagi for your trick to be able to charge in the car with WM5torage.
I'll try it asap. (I have a 750mA car charger)
This forum is so good !:)

The battery life is a little shorter ,about ten to thirty minutes shorter. The power management patch will cover this.
The wifi has no problem in my test.
The freeze problem occurs but the possibility is very very low. I have encountered only twice after 6.1 rom.

Whaoo, fast reply helloworld.
Ok, I'll give the new rom a try.
For you information I tried to charge in my car, it doesn't work. I tried a 1.25A car charger. (Covertec)
In "power" menu, I see the display "charging" for about 5 seconds, and then charge switches off (displays "power remaining :"). The red LED doesn't turn on. If I have WMStorage and activated or not, no change.
Are there any changes on charge with the b110 ?

Sorry to hear the WM5Storage didn't work for you, I think as far as charging concern, we have mixed results here, my OEM car/home charger can charge no problem regardless of ROM version, it only fails to charge on a Mac based computers without the present of Activesync, which can be overcome with the help of WM5Storage activated (on b39).

I also have had usb cables that worked before and now didn't want to work, using a different USB cable fixes that, strange? I would think that all cables are wired the same? but apparently even varied cables produce varied results. emmm....:confused:

FYI, if the Red LED doesn't continuously stay on, that means no charging.

I will try to include the usb charge setting and the usbcharge.dll in the HP's ROM to see if it works.

That would be really good, helloworld1. The charging problem is a real nuisance.
I've got a work around with WM5torage but it would be really nice if your ROMs have the correct charging software.:cool:

Will you only do that for WM6.1 or do it also for WM6?

Also, which is the recommended WM6.1 ROM? You have b39 listed as recommended ROM for WM6 but no recommendation for WM6.1.

Thanks.

This is really weird, did a full SPB Backup, hard-reset, then retored from SPB Backup, my Bluetooth (Speaker phone) problem is gone, and now guess what? I can charge my 6828 on a Mac with any usb cables not using any tricks!! that's right, no WM5Storage is needed!!! WTF?! Looks like the ROM has a mind of it's own.

So try do a full backup with SPB Backup, hard-reset then restore, hope that will fix the charging issue for you, OR try take out the battery for awhile then put back on and see if it works.

I suspect there are lockups within the hardware, which required a hard-reset or battery taken out to reset it.

Weird all right!:eek:
Before I installed WM5torage, I had to replace my battery (bought a Hong Kong large capacity one that died so put the original back in) but it didn't make any difference to the charging problem. Maybe I didn't leave it out long enough :confused: although it certainly looked like a hard reset to me.

I'm using PPCPimBackup, didn't do a backup before I took the battery out though. How does that backup program compare with SPB Backup?

The 6.0 rom development is closed, so I can say which one is recommended.
The 6.1 rom is still in development, it will change overtime. So the latest is recommended.

Mostly, PPCPimBackup is free. And also, it does only backup the PIM data recover data by injecting into the exist database.

Can anyone tell me what is the largest miniSD card the 6828 will work with? I have 2GB at the moment but it is getting full, I would like to buy a 4GB - will this work ok? I have ROM b39 at the moment.

BTW, helloworld - I donated some money for you a short while ago. Thank you for the ROMs, good work. :D

Thank you very much for your generous donation.
THe 4GB card should work well because the SDHC driver has already been in all the ROM.

I see that there are different kinds of miniSD cards?
The 4GB one I am looking at on e-bay, the description says "This is not the SDHC type / version therefore it can be used with older devices too that support 4 GB functions and of course new devices that support 4 GB" :( . Does that make a difference? :confused:

Ah, looked it up on the Internet, difference between SD and SDHC explained, either should work OK in 6828 if it has SDHC driver.

Someone reported the 8G SDHC worked fine a few pages back, you can read it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2258878#post2258878

So I'll say as long as it's SDHC labelled, it will worked regardless of capacity, but for the moment 8G is the largest in microSD which you need a miniSD adaptor, for some reason, I can't find SDHC version of the miniSD.

The battery out method is only my guess, if that didn't work for you, you can try both hard-reset and battery out.

Correction: I said I could use any cables, I thought I could until I tried the 6828 original cable on a Mac, it didn't work! BUT the cable that came with my 2.5" portable ext hard drive which didn't work before now worked, I'm actually charging it now on a Mac. So try a few usb cables you can find.

I am so wondered what differences between these cables have...

PimBackup only backup your contacts, calendar etc, but not any of the installed programs, SPB Backup however (a commercial software which is cheap to buy), do backup everything, with it you can restore your phone back to exactly how it was after a hard-reset (assumed you made a backup before hard-reset).

Hi Helloworld, or anyone,

Just today I realised my internal storage has decreased quite significantly despite I haven't done anything special on the 6828. I then found this MN1RIL.txt sitting in the device root folder taking up the space, trouble is, I cannot remove it, not even in safe mode, so I did a search around and found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349074 which reported that this file can grow as large as 50+mb!!

Do you have any idea what this file is? The file size is constantly changing, but always getting bigger and bigger.

Another question, is Touchpal input working on your latest 6.1 ROM?

Thanks,

I do not have this file. There are several way to delete a file. Using resco explorer 6, you can rename the file and reset then del it. Also, you can change the attribute of the file without archive and with read-only attr. If succeed, reset device and del it.
If both can not work, you can backup w/o the file and restore.

TouchPal 6.1 Chinese edition(free) is working fine.

Hi Helloworld,

OK, I bit the bullet and upgraded the radio firmware (WM5), then proceed to upgrade WM6.1 110b, unfortunately upon setup, I can't access the internet at all via gprs, gprs connected no problem, tried everything that access the internet, just no go for me, and I can't see what else I can do other than the internet/modem setup.

So no internet, no push mail etc, I'm going back to b39 now :(

Check if the right network settings is loaded through connection -> advanced -> select network.
Check if the proxy is set.
Do a soft reset if the connection seems on but not get connected at all.
Try enter IP address to see if it works. If so, change DNS settings.
Note the WM6.1 series ROM contains the HP's old auto config program, it may do something wrong. Try installing the newer network wizzard to config the net.

It is running fine on b39 right now, I was a bit exhausted in stuffing around, may be until I hit the next issue, then I'll give it another shot.

I did soft reset about 3 times, and hard reset once (initial clean boot upon ROM flash doesn't count), internet was no go. My carrier doesn't use any proxy, so it was unchecked, and IP is DHCP assigned, so there aren't many places I can tweak. BTW, I couldn't find the GPRS setting for PAP/CHAP or that 4R1T or 3R2T, but that doesn't matter since it can connect no problem, just no data coming through.

Where can I find this newer network config wizard?

Edit: For those who uses Microsoft Exchange Server PIMBackup, be aware that use PIMBackup to restore SMS only, leave everything else such as contact, task etc etc to the exchange to resync, as I ended up double up everything!

Dear Helloworld

i have updated (20080614 b110,update 12) and everything is working perfect! but just one thing about the camera, the Morph/Editor in the Camera application seems to be gone, and also the clip arts are gone too...i really play with that alot, is there anyways that u can put those back into the camera application? then i think this is really the most stable rom for the Rw6828.

Again thanks for your hard work...i dont think ill change my phone until it breaks...because its got now what a new and expensive phone on the market has now...

[galerio]

summary of all my problems

After flashing my 6815, I tried to reinstall my original ROM but:


installing original ROM WWE or in my language (ITA) via MiniSD (128MB) results in a complete installation, but at soft-reset (or hard-reset) my PDA doesn't go after the boot HP blue screen
installing the original ROM WWE or ITA via hpRUU patched doesn't function at all because the program (even if it is patched) says that the update is incompatible (as you can see in the image below), and I tested it with WWE and ITA rom
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5961/ruugy0.jpg
I have founded a script to add header to the original rom in order to use the "Device Software Update Utility.exe" (the one used for the "via PC" method), and it installs the original rom, but after softreset my HP stops at the boot HP blue screen (the same thing happened with the MiniSD method)
Then i tried to install NHOCBANME rom, but all versions 2 (2.01, 2.02 and 2.03) don't work anymore for me: after installation (via MiniSD or PC) my HP enters in a continuous boot cycle: it shows the HP blue boot screen and then it resets itself!!!!)
The only ROM by NHOCBANME that I can use are: 1.04 and 1.05!!!
Prior to every tests, I have changed my bootloader from 1.0.5 version to 1.0.1 via MiniSD method (by putting just the file eboot.nb0 on the MiniSD in boot mode)
Now I tried to reinstall BootLoader 1.0.5, but the problem doesn't change, so I must install the Update 12: 20080614,b110 rom to (or the NHOCBANME rom 1.5) to use my HP!!!



How can I turn back to my original HP rom?

Is there something other then boot and rom that can be damaged and reflashed?

PLEASE HELP ME!!

[COLOR="DarkRed"]How to flash from PC with Windows XP (It is ok to run it in vmware)

This detailed procedure is from Knave, thanks for your great effort to help others. I modified it a little.
1. Check your Boat loader version
(do a soft reset, and check the value printed at the bottom during the HP logo screen)
2. If you noticed that the last line states BL 1.00.05, it means you have boat loader 1.05 installed. You will need to download and flash your phone back to 1.01 via http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...tem=ip-45503-1
3. After successfully downgraded your phone's boatloader, or your version was already v1.01, you can proceed to flash your phone to the rom.


With the check done, proceed with the required files.

1. Go to http://www.mediafire.com/?cw91jweyyxz and download the file. Unzip the contents to a folder (except for diskimg.nr0, you don't need this).
2. Download the file pcupdate.zip on the first post of this thread and unzip the contents to the same folder you used in step 1.
3. Download the latest Rom file and extract to the same folder
4. Execute the addheader.jar program in "cmd" by "cd" to your destiny folder and then execute "java -jar addheader.jar diskimg.nb0"(no quotes in the cmd). it will take a while to complete.
5. Move your phone to boatloader mode ( press the two - keys, follow by a poke at the soft reset hole with your stylus )
6. Connect the phone to the PC
7. Execute the Device Utility Update program and wait till it verifies the state.
8. Press Next to begin flashing.
9. Once completed, the phone will reset by itself. Wait for a while for it to startup.

Urgent Help!
I'm quite clumsy and accidentally plugged out my ppc during stage 4 of the update via pc (i did not look down the page and found out how to flash via pc) and downloaded above "http://www.mediafire.com/?cw91jweyyxz"
and copied it to a folder in My Documents (COMM) and started it I downloaded the 10th update of wm6.1 and copied to same folder and started it accomplished stages 1,2,3 but was plugged out at the start of 4. And after that it became dead with a hp bootloader logo that seems to be with a lot of lines in it and quite faint.I left it without the battery for 2.5hours and put it back in but the same thing again.
I am using the XP with NHOCBANME'S(TM) wm6.1 rom for hp ipaq with bootloader 1.0.1. It occasionally blacks out and display the same BL image. If i am right the bootloader is corrupted and is it possible that it may run as the device contains the ROM image?:(

Can u give me a bootloader installation without using activesync as my ppc can't connect but is recognizeable to the computer and can charge via com.

Thanks in advance for replying. Oh and great rom HELLOWORLD1.:)
PS:Please help me as I need my phone (Although its a junk) and if theres a similar case can you refer me?

Hi Helloworld,

Sorry for bombarding you with troubles...

Everything seems going downhill from here...

The camera is now flickering non-stop, I used to get the flicker only 1 out of 10 soft-reset, now I am getting 10 of 10. Although I am still lucky that I hard-reset more than 3 times and soft-reset god knows how many times, it always booted the OS fine *finger crossed*.

And now I have this very faint buzzing sound coming from the LCD, yes LCD an not earpiece or speakers, when the LCD is on, I tried to cover the earpiece or speakers with my hand, the buzzing is clear and crisp, fingers over the LCD, noise is muffled, errr... When the room is quiet, I can hear it from half a metre away. Note that this buzzing is there even when 6828 is in Clean Boot screen. Any experience on this?

BTW: Is the camera in WM6.1 b110 completely fixed and flicker free? Looks like I might give b100 another shot, just hope the network wizard works.

Received my 4GB mini SD card and it works fine, it is non-SDHC - the 6828 doesn't seem to care.:p

[finance]

The battery out method is only my guess, if that didn't work for you, you can try both hard-reset and battery out.

Correction: I said I could use any cables, I thought I could until I tried the 6828 original cable on a Mac, it didn't work! BUT the cable that came with my 2.5" portable ext hard drive which didn't work before now worked, I'm actually charging it now on a Mac. So try a few usb cables you can find.

I am so wondered what differences between these cables have...

PimBackup only backup your contacts, calendar etc, but not any of the installed programs, SPB Backup however (a commercial software which is cheap to buy), do backup everything, with it you can restore your phone back to exactly how it was after a hard-reset (assumed you made a backup before hard-reset).

K
Yes, the cable thing is very strange, I have three different ones and they all do different things dependent on what you connect the 6828 to. There doesn't seem to be any common thing among any of them.

I installed SPB backup a couple of days ago, it looks good. :)

Hi Helloworld,

Sorry for bombarding you with troubles...

Everything seems going downhill from here...

The camera is now flickering non-stop, I used to get the flicker only 1 out of 10 soft-reset, now I am getting 10 of 10. Although I am still lucky that I hard-reset more than 3 times and soft-reset god knows how many times, it always booted the OS fine *finger crossed*.

And now I have this very faint buzzing sound coming from the LCD, yes LCD an not earpiece or speakers, when the LCD is on, I tried to cover the earpiece or speakers with my hand, the buzzing is clear and crisp, fingers over the LCD, noise is muffled, errr... When the room is quiet, I can hear it from half a metre away. Note that this buzzing is there even when 6828 is in Clean Boot screen. Any experience on this?

BTW: Is the camera in WM6.1 b110 completely fixed and flicker free? Looks like I might give b100 another shot, just hope the network wizard works.

K

I can say wm6.1 series almost completely fix the camera problem because I have found a way to patch 6.1 system. It is an dll file quartz.dll.
The noise is not caused by rom , I think. It is a hardware problem. Atom is known to have this problem. I have a palm tt3 which annoy me for about 3 years before buying my 6828.
BUT there is a workaround. Change the cpu clock(sys and lcd frequency) highes so the frequency of the screen buzz is higher and you will not hear it.
Note I do not have this problem myself. This is my experience on palm tt3.

It's strange that when you said the buzzing is a hardware problem, I have had this buzzing long time ago when I was still on WM5, it just happened one day until I did an official WM5 ROM upgrade then it stopped. This buzzing came back when I flashed back from WM6.1 b110 to b39, ??? :confused:

Not sure how I can tweak the frequency though... :(

The camera on b39 is now completely not working, no amount of hard/soft-reset will stopped it, it either flickers like mad or just crashes, I think it has something to do with ROM flashing... is it possible that every ROM flashes are different despite using the same ROM? ... don't worry about this question, we have talked about this before...

I will try flash with b110 again tonight, just hope everything will just work... feel like a 3G iPhone now...

Thanks,

K

There will be a major update to release recently. I need to test for a little longer time. It resolves many of the previous bugs but break some of the app's registration info (it changes the device's identity). If anyone who are interested in this update, please wait to download it if you haven't downloaded the latest. If not, stay the rom that you think is the most stable.

1. SYS: The HP certificated system, so some previously unusable HP oem app like photosmart will work.
2. SYS: Fix the bluetooth headset auto connection again. Try it!
3. SYS: The time after hard reset is now 2008 not 2005.
4. OEM: Now you can select the lowest backlight(which is very dim) in the settings -> backlight just like HP's WM5.
5. OEM: System information is now HP's that gives you much more comprehensive information(Not all are accurate though).
6. OEM: The GPRS mode switch program return. Thanks kusanagi for indicating that.
7. BUGFIX: Solve the problem that the "tasks" can not create new task through menu.
8. BUGFIX: Fix the incompatibility problem with SPB Pocket Plus( some features are not working well previously).
9. BUGFIX: Fix the incompatibility problem with various input method. You can install as many as you can and many Input method and keyboard problem are working fine now.
10. BUGFIX: The confusing hard reset screen now won't display. It do clean reset without that screen just like old HP's WM5.(Press and hold power button and reset.)
11. BUGFIX: Fix the problem that the system may halt when playing Solitaire. Thanks martinrmn for finding this hidden bug.

Hi Helloworld,

Very good, that Network Wizard worked!!

So what is the ETA of the new proposed update? I have just moved to b110, I might wait for the next update before putting all my apps back on. TouchPal is my main input app, so very important for it to work.

Sorry I forgot your post. I think the bootloader is not corrupt because the normal bl screen may be twinkle and faint. Does sd card method work? How about the hp's original rom(replace hpruu first)?

Anyway there is a way to flash bootloader. Rename the hp official's xxeboot.nbf to eboot.nb0, put it on a sd card , and do just like a normal sd flash. BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! If you are not sure if you can successfully flashed using card DO NOT TRY THIS.

Please wait a while because the new update will break app registration. I will release after taken the most recent final exam in June 23.Also I need to test fop more time.
You can try if the current rom meet your need. I may do quick fix to some minor problem before releasing new.

Dear Helloworld

i have updated (20080614 b110,update 12) and everything is working perfect! but just one thing about the camera, the Morph/Editor in the Camera application seems to be gone, and also the clip arts are gone too...i really play with that alot, is there anyways that u can put those back into the camera application? then i think this is really the most stable rom for the Rw6828.

Again thanks for your hard work...i dont think ill change my phone until it breaks...because its got now what a new and expensive phone on the market has now...

I do not include hp camera because previously it is impossible and also I think atom's camera is faster. Sorry I may not include hp camera but I will find a way for you to install it if possible.

summary of all my problems

After flashing my 6815, I tried to reinstall my original ROM but:


installing original ROM WWE or in my language (ITA) via MiniSD (128MB) results in a complete installation, but at soft-reset (or hard-reset) my PDA doesn't go after the boot HP blue screen
installing the original ROM WWE or ITA via hpRUU patched doesn't function at all because the program (even if it is patched) says that the update is incompatible (as you can see in the image below), and I tested it with WWE and ITA rom
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5961/ruugy0.jpg
I have founded a script to add header to the original rom in order to use the "Device Software Update Utility.exe" (the one used for the "via PC" method), and it installs the original rom, but after softreset my HP stops at the boot HP blue screen (the same thing happened with the MiniSD method)
Then i tried to install NHOCBANME rom, but all versions 2 (2.01, 2.02 and 2.03) don't work anymore for me: after installation (via MiniSD or PC) my HP enters in a continuous boot cycle: it shows the HP blue boot screen and then it resets itself!!!!)
The only ROM by NHOCBANME that I can use are: 1.04 and 1.05!!!
Prior to every tests, I have changed my bootloader from 1.0.5 version to 1.0.1 via MiniSD method (by putting just the file eboot.nb0 on the MiniSD in boot mode)
Now I tried to reinstall BootLoader 1.0.5, but the problem doesn't change, so I must install the Update 12: 20080614,b110 rom to (or the NHOCBANME rom 1.5) to use my HP!!!



How can I turn back to my original HP rom?

Is there something other then boot and rom that can be damaged and reflashed?

PLEASE HELP ME!!

First use the bootable rom and and replace two exefiles(search this post),and flash using patched hpruu with all component including eboot!

[kusanagi]

Please wait a while because the new update will break app registration. I will release after taken the most recent final exam in June 23.Also I need to test fop more time.

Thanks for the hard work, the most important thing for now of course is your exam, good luck!!

I think I will stick around for the latest, because once I loaded all the apps back in, I will be very reluctant to upgrade again unless something is really broken, just like how I stuck to the b39.

I really would like to use the TouchPal which I believe would be fixed in the next upgrade along with other nitty-gritty issues, and at least one app I will have to re-apply for the registration code anyway, I might as well wait.

BTW, I realised the BT-DUN is working very well, however I've lost the "Beam File" service, as I was trying to beam file from my Mac with Leopard OS, it says service not available, how do I re-enable that? (I'm on b110 now)

There's an free app called advanced configurator , that can en/disable it.

Hi helloworld1, i don't know but if you have seen my previous post but its ok i'll write it here. I downloaded your revision 2.zip extracted them to a folder and downloaded a rom and also extracted it to a folder and started to flash it. At stage 4 download radio something, of flashing, it hanged. So I plugged it out and now i have a phone that is always at bootloader but there is a strange thingthe hp logo in the middle is faint and has lots of lines around it. I repeated the same thing over again many times and and it could be flashed but the same thing always happens and now , worse, it is unrecognizable to the computer. I am using bl1.0.1 like u instructed tried flashing via minisd but to no result. Is there a way I can solve this like a bootloader upgrade without active sync. I hope it is possible as i can flash a "broken bootloader" without active sync.

Thanks in advance

I know your problem, the radio part corrupts but the bootloader is normal. The faint screen with lines is normal. The radio part should be reflashed!
I see you can use atom's ruu so use it to flash corrupt radio.
put following files in the folder:
Device Software Update Utility.exe(download from first thread).
DSUU.exe
diskimage_Ver.nb0(Add header java make this from any diskimg.nb0)
nova_pda_033105.mot(attach)
vl1d_pda_Ver.mot(attach)
eboot.nb0(From HP, rename to this. Try not to include this at first)

and run Device Software Update Utility.exe

The faint screen with lines is normal.

Hi Helloworld,

Since you mentioned it, this "faint screen" which looks like an interlaced effect on CRT TV, this only happened after I updated my 0.34 radio (WM5), then flashed to b110 then b39, it happened right when I flashed from b110 back to b39, and at the same time when the "LCD buzzing" started to happened, I thought they may be related issues? Not sure flashing back to latest official WM5 will help eliminate the problems? I was really concern about the BL was going to die/corrupt.

Firstly my hats off to helloworld1 (& kusanagi) :)

Had my 1st PDA (2nd hand m500) when my GM decided to upgrade his. Then carrying around 3 gadgets (PDA, H/phone & DigiCam) & 6828 is the answer. Now heard my friend had put life to his about to be discarded x50, I start searching to extend the life of mine.

When thru every single page of NHOBANME (first & was itching to flash) & your thread & the verdict, yours is what I'm going for (clean). b39 looks stable from kusanagi feedback & really itching for b110. Wish me luck & will keep a lookout for your next major update.

In the meantime all the best in your exam... Shall buy you coffee after trying out. Cheers.

The faint screen means the screen's refresh rate is too low. It happens when you enter bootloader when the cpu is in deep sleep or no power at all. You are right, lcd refresh rate is related to buzz sound because the refresh current consonant with the thin part of screen. This may be caused by small flaw on the screen. If the screen parts are tight enough, the device won't whine!
Manually adjusting the frequency of lcd rate will get the screen part out of consonance.
If you are still in warrenty send to repair it quickly. Hardly can this symptom disappear itself!

Warranty? haha... I had my 6828 for two years... so I don't think I'm in luck here.

The thing is this faint screen only happened while I was flashing from b110 to b39, I have seen this BL screen about 4-5 times before, and it didn't have this problem before, could the BL itself causing any of this?

I guess you are having the faint screen as well, so do you get the "buzzing" noise when you get the LCD close to your ear?

edited: What if I replace the LCD screen panel? Do you think it's the part where the noise is coming from?

I noticed you mentioned about the upcoming update will fix compatibility problem with SPB Pocket Plus, it is very inconvenient not to have it installed, so what incompatibility will it caused/happened if I install it on b110?

I am very sensitive to buzz sound(I hate it!). But my 6828 does not have. You can search atom's same problem, there are a lot. I bought 6828 instead of atom for that reason.
spb works in b110 but some modules like open file dialog will stop working occasionally. Also you can not install more than 2 input method if you have spb.

[helloworld1]

I can not edit post on phone. too bad.
bootloader will not cause problems because it only load system in boot time. You can turn off screen by spb or dutty's taskmgr and hear if the sound disappears.
There are such cases, they may have better knowledge whether changing screen panel working.

Tried NHOBANME on my existing 2gb but of course no luck as recommendation is <=1gb. Last night went out to buy 512mb formated to FAT (cant find VFAT or FAT16 options) before flashing with b110 but same experience like others, boot into WM5. Flast via PC but bootloader is 1.0.5. Another miniSD, more $ to spend.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]How to flash from PC with Windows XP (It is ok to run it in vmware)
This detailed procedure is from Knave, thanks for your great effort to help others. I modified it a little.
1. Check your Boat loader version
(do a soft reset, and check the value printed at the bottom during the HP logo screen)
2. If you noticed that the last line states BL 1.00.05, it means you have boat loader 1.05 installed. You will need to download and flash your phone back to 1.01 via http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...tem=ip-45503-1
3. After successfully downgraded your phone's boatloader, or your version was already v1.01, you can proceed to flash your phone to the rom.
With the check done, proceed with the required files.
1. Go to http://www.mediafire.com/?cw91jweyyxz and download the file. Unzip the contents to a folder (except for diskimg.nr0, you don't need this).
2. Download the file pcupdate.zip on the first post of this thread and unzip the contents to the same folder you used in step 1.
3. Download the latest Rom file and extract to the same folder
4. Execute the addheader.jar program in "cmd" by "cd" to your destiny folder and then execute "java -jar addheader.jar diskimg.nb0"(no quotes in the cmd). it will take a while to complete.
5. Move your phone to boatloader mode ( press the two - keys, follow by a poke at the soft reset hole with your stylus )
6. Connect the phone to the PC
7. Execute the Device Utility Update program and wait till it verifies the state.
8. Press Next to begin flashing.
9. Once completed, the phone will reset by itself. Wait for a while for it to startup.
Note: the Main.java is the source code of addheader program. You do not need to put it in your destiny directory. Download sun's JRE here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

dsuu.exe and device software update utility.exe may be the same thing. If the atom's dsuu can not update your device, you will surely need only HP's ruu.
Copy two files attached in hp_files.zip to /windows on your device and run ResetToBootloader.exe.
Then do a normal hp update.

Sorry but I can't access my phone cause its unrecognizable to activesync. And dun worry u can reply next week.
But do you think I should service my phone cause the warranty expires tomorow:eek:
Sorry again, sooooooooooooo sorry!

[galerio]

First use the bootable rom and and replace two exefiles(search this post),and flash using patched hpruu with all component including eboot!

Hi,
I found the two exe file to place in windows folder of my hp. I run resettobootloader, it goes in bl mode (version 1.0.1), I plugged the usb cable, run the hpRUU patched but...
"Cannot comunicate with device"
http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8752/unus8.th.jpg (http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?image=unus8.jpg)
the program wants the hp connected like in ActiveSync mode!

every other method (via Software Update Utility or SD) will make my hp to stop booting on the hp blue/white screen!!

so what can I do?
I see that also another user had my problem, but he doesn't says that has resolved it! Please help me!!!
Now I'm on your stable wm6 rom, but I want to turn back to the original one

[pzo]

I have only one ver from 1.01.3 wwe rom and I do not notice the problem. What is it exactly?

ok, try to listen a song using earphone (the ipaq audio slide is set at some point previously) the volume is softer, try adjusting a lil bit slide in ipaq audio, you will hear the volume is louder, its like the ipaq audio effect turn off at some time, and reactivate by touching the slide

i hope u understand what im trying to deliver..lOl

Turn off the usb of activesync through Activesync -> connection settings -> turn usb connection off and run RUU again.

During my test, the MMS is not working well in all my 6.1 ROMs. You can not capture pictures or record sound. I never use MMS. Anyone can test if a little further about whether it can receive and send properly.

During my test, the MMS is not working well in all my 6.1 ROMs. You can not capture pictures or record sound. I never use MMS. Anyone can test if a little further about whether it can receive and send properly.

I can test this for you, but can you please explain a bit more how should I go about it? Are you trying to test the Video/Audio capture, or the MMS sending/receiving?

I have tried to click on "New", then select "Capture" under Menu, then select either "Video" or "Audio" it didn't invoke the camera or audio recorder apps, is this what you are trying to find out?

edited: OK, I have just tried to send an MMS to myself, MMS sent OK, but never came back! When I clicked on Send/Received, nothing seems to happened, it didn't even attempt to connect. I've done this test in the past with WM5, it usually comes back in about 5 seconds.

edited2: OK, did another test, did exactly the same as the first test (except that I went into Option and checked the MMS settings, all correct and I clicked OK), I got a reply this time, don't know what happened with the first MMS sent, it just disappeared. However, by clicking on Send/Received will never trigger the connection of MMS, not sure if this is normal, when there's incoming MMS, it will automatically connect to MMS.

edited3: OK, I just received the first MMS about 30 mins later, hmm... So only thing that MMS is not working is the capture connection to Camera app and sound recorder.

ic some people in another forum mentined using the ipaq audio from version iPAQ rw6828 1.00.03 Firmware [sp34053.exe] This has the best sound,no bugs and louder than others updates...if u can dump it somehow, not like what i said earlier using latest firmware.

btw, do u find the way to install the hp camera externaly?
its possible to install 2 camera aps? eventhough hp camerabit slowly, the setting is easier.and user friendly.

[xudsa II USERT]

Could you teach me how to put the file?
(PS:The phone does'nt have any rom inside so i can't use my phone as activesync can't detect it!)

[hochengsoon]

Tried NHOBANME on my existing 2gb but of course no luck as recommendation is <=1gb. Last night went out to buy 512mb formated to FAT (cant find VFAT or FAT16 options) before flashing with b110 but same experience like others, boot into WM5 after 10-15 mins. Flash via PC but bootloader is 1.0.5. Another miniSD, more $ to spend.

Again your exam first. I can wait.

Where can i get BL 1.0.1 (& how do downgrade)? Any major disadvantage in 1.0.1 compare to 1.0.5?

Thanks in advance.

Yes I can not capture the picture and video, other things are working very well. I am planing to update MMS program to version 5 since it is much smaller in size than the previous version 4.

You still need to disable usb in PC's activesync, if you want to flash with only a corrupt rom through hpruu.

welcome hochengsoon I also had the same problem whilst flashing via minisd. In my opinion flashing via minisd was troublesome so i took the time to flash via comm. But in both ways, you need the bl1.0.1.
Here's the link (by NHOCBANME[TM]: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34053.exe)

Yes, I got it !!! This is what I went through just in case it's of help to somebody out there.

1. Tried to just flash bootloader from sp34053 but failed. Flash all.
2. MUST copy & execute (b110) from C:\Windows\Temp folder.

And the rest is history.

I can make you a cup of cafe latte double strength to help... :D

BTW, you mentioned about from b134 onward, the reset method has been changed, would you please clarify what is the correct procedure for doing hard-reset and going into BL mode?

So on this b135, do you think it is much improvements over b110 which I am now on? and I haven't put a lot of apps back on since I'm waiting for this latest b135.

edit: a note to MMS capture, instead of calling the camera/recorder apps from within Messaging, you can start with the camera/recorder to do you capturing/snapping/recording, after the media has been captured you can select "Send" to send by MMS/email etc, just another way of doing it that's all.

Thanks,

Hard reset can be done but no promotion, the improvement of b135 is great. The onward releases will use this as base.
There is no big known bug in b135.
MMS capture bug does not affect me at all. I think the idea of MMS is really bad, push emails are much better and free.

OK understand...

I have never used MMS, very expensive here in Australia, it's about CNY3.6 per message sent, only have to do it this time to test your ROM.

Excellent!! "no big known bug..." is something I've been looking forward to hear... I will be upgrading to b135 tonight and fresh re-install everything. Hopefully I can easily upgrade to future versions by restoring from SPB backup...

It'll be nice if everything is perfect, I just hope that day will happen... a perfect 6828 Clean ROM from Helloworld.

Good work!!

Have you upgraded your spb backup to version 2? You will need it for successfully backuping in wm 6.1! Also nothing is perfect, but achieving perfection is my goal.
Please check the updated bug list in the first thread. I think maintaining a longer list of bugs than features will help others to know the rom better.

[helloworld1]

My friend have a macbook, on which I have tested. In windows through bootcamp, the usb charge works very well. But on mac os x 10.5 it doesn't. Also on linux virtual machine on mac, it works too. So I think the mac does not give out enough power if there is no driver for the device.
I have this idea because on old linux, you can not charge a ipod shuffle because it only gives out 100ma for flash based device. One need to patch the kernel to get full 500ma.

For MMS, I also have opened up the service only a few days ago to test the rom. :-)
Here is 0.6 RMB each(with a service, 2 RMB for five). Very expansive comparing to sms which is free for first 500 and 0.1 each for extra. MMS may be only for people who can not use emails on phone.

Yes, I've just upgraded to spb backup version 2 just for the wm6.1 sake.

Helloworld... it's close, very close to perfect... I know you can do it... just a couple more sleepless nights/weeks... :D

You are right, people tends to wanting to know more about bugs in home-cooked ROM, but the length of the list has nothing to do with people's understanding of the ROM, it should be as short as possible and best yet; no bugs!! I think what you have done so far for the introduction is excellent, with the aim in producing a very clean ROM, remember... stay clean.

Thanks,

I can understand what you said about the usb charging. What about using different cable on the same machine and OS can charge while the genuine HP cable couldn't? or on a different pc and OS the result is reverse? or how about a car charger that's capable of 2A couldn't charge after a ROM upgrade? while a wall charger with 1A can charge no problem... it's a bit of voodoo thing to me when comes to usb charging.

Nothing is cheap here in Australia, especially telecommunication. Luckily I'm on a corporate plan which the data is provided free, I just browse/download as I wished, unfortunately I don't have a HSDPA device.

Self test program does not work well. Please test it. I have made a fix. Since it is a minor bug, I won't release update until some bigger bugs are found.
Here is a patch. If you want to run it, run selfdiag.exe anywhere.

[kusanagi]

Hi Helloworld,

Found a bug, but dunno what caused it.

Installed b135, works really well, however there's one program isn't fully compatible, or something has caused it, it's SPB Pocket Plus 4.

SPB PP4 installed fine, and worked fine initially, and is one of the first few apps I installed after ROM flash, after I installed a few more apps, the today plugin had disappeared from today screen despite it is enabled. I tried uninstalled all the apps after SPB PP, then reinstalled PP, same deal, does this happen to your install?

edit: forgot to mention, upon installed PP, first thing I noticed is in the "program tab" on today screen, many of the program icons are defaulted to the "blank" icons instead of the designed icon. But I just removed them, and before I have the chance to add them back, the PP today screen plugin had disappeared altogether (other apps with today plugin are fine).

May be I should hard-reset and try again, but I was running out of time for the day and I need my email up and running for work the next day.

Hi, everyone, iv found this on the net and tried it in the b135 update 14 rom, and works well, i dont know the difference, but maybe it can save the battery standby of the phone as well, about the speed, it feels more or less the same...

What you need to do:

1. Install NetCF3.5 on your ppc.
2. Open a registry editor, I use Reso Regsitry Editor
3. Goto HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework (this is usually the first entry
4. When you open this you'll see all the .NET installed version change the DWORD value of 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0
5. Chang ethe DWORD value of 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1.
6. Reboot
7.Viola! you have a faster PPC

When installing spb pocket plus 4.02, the installer will prompt lot's of dll file that you should allow. After that, there will be a prompt that ask you to reset. DO NOT RESET AT THIS TIME. After that there will be more dll file that require you to allow. Then it will work fine.
I think spb should update its package to conform toi the 6.1 releases.

I think restoring through spb from b110 will cause problems. My rom uses ipaq audio from sp34074.exe. I will extract the ipaq audio from this older rom and find if it works.

EDIT:
The ipaq audio from sp34053 is also not working with headset. Maybe I still miss one file besides the three.

I think you need to be careful here, any file name with "6828" in it DO NOT USE on your Atom!! The files are only for HP RW6828. Use the Atom one.

Simply extract diskimg.nb0 to your SD card root directory, insert into your Atom, then go into bootloader mode and wait 13-17 minutes, DO NOT interrupt!! You may plug into your power adaptor.

You can not flash this rom to your atom. You should download atom-release-1
It only contains a diskimg.nb0 for sd card flashing.
You need to use addheader.jar to make a diskimage_Ver.nb0.
Then you can flash it using atom's update utility.

I did you suggestion but Installation always unsuccessful. There is also problem with SPB Mobile Shell 2, Resco File Explorer etc. I think there is a installation problem with the softwares. I'm successful to install Esmertec Java but others unsuccess.

I'm using B135 on HP 6815

thanks,

Found the roaming icon :)

It's from this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/smartphone/icons.mspx

I guess it's because my plan is a 3G plan, and 6828 does not support 3G, so it roams back to 2G ...

I think you need to be careful here, any file name with "6828" in it DO NOT USE on your Atom!! The files are only for HP RW6828. Use the Atom one.

Simply extract diskimg.nb0 to your SD card root directory, insert into your Atom, then go into bootloader mode and wait 13-17 minutes, DO NOT interrupt!! You may plug into your power adaptor.

You can not flash this rom to your atom. You should download atom-release-1
It only contains a diskimg.nb0 for sd card flashing.
You need to use addheader.jar to make a diskimage_Ver.nb0.
Then you can flash it using atom's update utility.

Can you teach me how to extract it to my SD card? i really don't know how to. should i use a card reader to extract or something please help?

[q_ware]

..just copy it via card reader or phone...

I install SPB Shell dan Resco via PC, and it is working well on mine. All of my App are working well, IM+, SPB Pocket Plus, Resco explorer, Clear Temp, Touchpal, Pimbackup, SPB GPRS, SPB Screen Shot, Opera 9, SPB Wallet, Esmertec, PHM Registry, Cradle Alarm, Pocketxpdf, YoutubePlay, TCPMP, S2V, MSS Converter and everything is working well.

After flashed the device, i tried to connect via GPRS and unsuccesful, so i installed the HTC Auto Config to setup the network, and it fix the problem.:D:D

Copy the diskimg.nb0 to the root of mini SD, and go a boot loader, i don't know how to do this in atom, but in 6828 push 2 "-" button then reset.

I suggest you flash with atom ROM, not 6828 ROM.

Good Luck.

Did you restore backkup from the previous ROM. Please do a hard reset and start a fresh new installation. Everything will work fine.

It's funny that I have no problem with Mobile Shell 2 at all, and Resco File Explorer is working perfect too... of course no problem with installation or whatsoever.

The only difference I can see is I have a 6828, and you have a 6815.

I am planing to release rom with different language recently.
Here are two:
Chinese Traditional and German(I am learning German now).
Anyone here need that? If not I won't do that demanding work.

I wonder if all English apps can be used on Chinese ROM?

Just a note, the WM6.1 ROM sucking battery like mad, it can effectively drain from 100% to 15% in 1.5 hours of GPRS and Internet News reading! :o I know there is a battery saving patch, is it really worth it? I mean how much performance this patch reduces and how much battery life it can save? I need to have a good balance between the two.

should i empty, format the sd card first? or i can flash it with other stuff in my sdcard?

Almost all the English app can be used on Chinese app. I don't think the new 6.1 rom drains battery like that. I also uses GPRS(EDGE) connection a lot. But I think the battery life is just like the previous 6.1 ROM. If you do not like the patch, you can manually turn on the power saving settings on Schap's Advance Settings.
Oh, if you restore the PIM info especially SMS, the system will be very slow for a while. At that time, it drains battery fast too.
There is a free ResInfo app that can measure the battery life.

You can report the battery life time to me.
Mine without patch, mostly GPRS and TTS book reading through BT headset. No phone call, a few SMS. 1200MAH non-OEM battery.
Suspend: 21 hr
On: 5 hr 31 min
From 100% to 20%

You can try without formating first if you do not like backing up. If it fails, you need to format your card. Also, cards less than 1GB is recommended.

Thanks!! BTW, there are so many .cab within the attached .zip which one should I run? or do I need a Windows box to run the setup.exe?

Yeah, I have jumped from b39 to b110 then b135, and I noticed the battery drain from b110 onwards, so compare to b39, WM6.1 sucks a lot more battery juice, and I don't think it can last me a day the way it goes.

my sd card is 1gb :((

[kusanagi]

my sd card is 1gb :((

sd card under 1gb is recommended, some people here have succeeded with 2gb or 1gb, so you can still try, if you are still getting the old wm5 after flashing, it means you need to get/borrow an sd <1gb size, It will not kill your phone using SD card upgrade method.

OK, installed and running, so what am I supposed to do from here? leave the program running in the background and continue using the phone until the battery is drained? or is there a quick test?

Do whatever you usually do with this program running in background.
