HP 6828 WM 6.1 WWE ROM:

About WM6.1 WWE rom:
The rom have dimonand's kernel and kaiser's system as the base. The pagepool is 6M for stability as well as performance.
If you want to know what is good about Windows Mobile 6.1 comparing to 6.0, you can read this small PDF file: http://www.mediafire.com/?xdlgomziwtq

Features of this rom :
1. Almost the same as the MS's Emulator's stable ROM.
2. Add some of O2 and HP's OEM apps like camera and wireless manager.
3. The HP's driver mixed with other enhancement.

Known bugs of this rom :
1. The Bluetooth PAN is not working at all. I include Bluetooth DUN support as a workaround.
2. In a very few case wi-fi will be on after reset.
3. Battery life is slightly shorter but better performance. A patch is needed to get longer battery life. (Download patch from the second thread or use Schap's Advanced Configuration tool).
4. The sound volume is a little low. SRS WOW HD will increase the volume dramatically.
5. The Bluetooth A2DP auto connection is working but one need to turn the device's BT on first then headset's or it will not work.

7. Ipaq audio's headset ability will be disabled when powered off then on. Click on the slide will activate it.
8. Can not copy SMS to SIM card.(Thanks whtwww for notifying me the bug)
9. The screen may shift after flashing the ROM. Workaround: Do a soft reset on the welcome screen and then recalibrate the screen.
10. The start icon may disappear after soft reset. Workaround: Tap the start icon and it will appear.

How to flash using SD Card(Recommended):
Extract diskimg.nb0 to a sd card (<1G is better), insert it into 6828, press&hold 2 soft key(-) and reset. After a while, it will be in PBL mode, wait 15-20min, it will hard reset itself and flash done. The first boot time is very long so be patient , you may click the screen so that the device will not auto-off.

How to flash from PC with Windows XP (It is ok to run it in vmware)

Thanks Knave and rcperez for posting their detailed experience so I can write this section. Also thanks jimmyspa for improving the addheader's performance greatly.
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 ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34053.exe
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 download section to download the rom file.
2. Download the file pcupdate.zip attached in 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. Run BuffereAddHeader.bat. It will take seconds to generate a diskimage_Ver.nb0. (You should have Java Runtime > 1.50 installed, http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)
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. Click on Update Item "All" use cursor keys to change it to "OS ONLY" then hit next **** SELECT "OS ONLY", if you cant change it to "OS ONLY" DONT PROCEED!!! It should detect your device as Model 0 etc.
8. Press Next to begin flashing.
9. Once completed, the phone will reset by itself. Wait for a while for it to startup.
Special notes from hochengsoon (with files):
After flashing not less than 10 times today come out with this conclusion for PC using BL1.0.1.
Flashing must be done from C:\Windows\Temp. So why not start everthing from this folder ie PCUpdate + ROM + missing file(s).

Missing Files(s)
Using DSUU version without the need to select OS Only require...
1. vl1d_pda_Ver.mot
2. EBOOT.nb0
3. ExtendedRom.img
4. nova_pda_033105.mot
Using DSUU version whereby MUST select OS Only require...
1. vl1d_pda_Ver.mot

Here are the files provided by hochengsoon with README
PCUpdate1.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?1nxy21j2t3x
1. DSUU which must select OS Only.
2. 1 missing file.

PCUpdate2.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?yeg0vjymwts
1. DSUU need not select anything.
2. 4 missing files.

How do I cook this rom:
I cooked this rom on my Linux(Fedora 8) desktop with the help of Wine. Tools included is:
BuildImgfs.exe
cecompr_nt.dll
cereg400.dll
make_imgfs.exe
msvcr71.dll
prepare_imgfs.exe
RGU.exe
rgucomp.exe

What about XIP:
Remember, it starts at 0x180000 not 0x18000C as usual. Because diskimg.nb0 does not have the 12 byte header.

Other tools:
gHex2: HEX editing.
lex and gcc: for faster lexical convert to edit initflash.dat
WINE: to run rom cooking tools. Not an emulator :)
Windows Mobile 6 emulator: Extract something from the rom.

Useful apps for this rom:

First, the wifi light is working on my 6828. The camera flash light do not work though.
Second, I have ALREADY cut the 12 byte header, so it is safe to flash using a SD card. I said that if you need to flash using RUU you need to ADD 12 BYTE.
Thanks for your interest in my rom.

cool,thanks for this nice rom

[ruffage]

This is interesting. Can people report whether this is a stable ROM, other than the noted bugs?

Also, will it flash with a 2gb miniSD card? That's all I have.

Thanks.

[cancakmak]

i need a clean rom too, nhocbanme's rom is great but it's not clean. Dirty with HTC applications and full of black which i don't like.

[ehaezar]

i'm currently using this rom since a month ago, i think this is a stable and great rom. work flawlessly.
thanks helloworld1 :)
i'm waiting for ur next update rom :)

[edywanwan]

Hellooow....helloworld1,
I ve flash this ROM today. It took about 15 minutes. Very good and clean ROM. Everything works perfect, Bluetooth stereo working nice, JAVA midlet also okay, camera works good with flash automatically light during photography. High memory after install 70 applications still got 42MB internal memory left. Hmmm....what else to comment...nothing , all perfect:)
When are you going to release WM6.1 with this type of super clean ROM....waiting....waiting :D:D
Keep up the good work!!!

[ruffage]

I've splatted my 6815 with this ROM today, and thankfully it works a treat! It takes a while for its first boot but then I started to breath again when it came up. :)

The camera doesn't work at all though. The program loads but errors with "failed to get jpeg stream" or similar when clicking the cam's hw button. However that's a small sacrifice to pay when the pay off is WM6, that HP can't be bothered to provide.

Many thanks to helloworld1, and here's hoping you release WM6.1 in due course. \o/

6815 may need a patch to get camera working. You may need to search around.
I do not have a 6815, so I will not embed it in this rom.

i'm waiting for ur next update rom :)

I haven't find any solution in the bugs in "bad section". So maybe I will not do minor update to this rom. Also, it will, maybe, save your time updating something worthless.

What about 6.1:
Due to the reason that 6.1 haven't been official released, I do not have a strong will to make a unstable rom.
I will release a 6.1 rom if it is stable and no clean one have released.

[helloworld1]

This is interesting. Can people report whether this is a stable ROM, other than the noted bugs?

Also, will it flash with a 2gb miniSD card? That's all I have.

Thanks.

No, NEVER TRY TO UPDATE IT WITH CARD MORE THAN 1GB!!
It will almost surely brick(not badly) your device that causes some unnecessary trouble. After that you can still flash again.

So there are 10(!) choices for you:
01.Buy a 256m or 512m card.
11.Add 12 byte header and flash using RUU.
10.Simply do not update:D

ok :D
i'll wait ur 6.1 rom. thanks so much ;)

[cancakmak]

please make a clean wm6.1 rom, stuck with htc applications it's lowering the system resources, on the other hand there are better alternative 3rd party applications. I don't like the black hard shape of htc applications.

[edywanwan]

Can we use this tool to change the PPool from 8 Mb to 6 Mb?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323538

[helloworld1]

I do not test the tool, but it seems ok.Just try it out, it won't damage the device.
ps. at first i also use 6m pp but feel it runs a little slow albeit have more memory. Also it does not seems more stable.

[helloworld1]

Too late! I used my 2gb card yesterday (after a clean FAT format) and it worked fine. :)

Congratulations, you are so lucky. At first, I format my 2GiB card using vfat and try to flash it. Not so lucky, I brick my device for several days before I find out a solution. At last I recover it with a 512 MiB card.

Any idea how to increase the speed that the green light flashes? It's much slower using this rom (about every 8 seconds), where as on WM5 it flashed about every 3 seconds. When it's orange for a notification it still flashes faster though.

There must be a registry option somewhere..

I think it is the driver problem.
Flashing slower is more power conserving though.
I have once tried to modify the wm5 registry to set it slower but no use.

[min1968]

Does 026B30 version still have these bugs?
1. flash light do not work (whoe can help me?).
2. in a few case wi-fi will be on after reset

[hhhh3]

so this is wm6 or 6.1 the lastest?

[edywanwan]

The new ROM(b30) looks stable. Camera open smoothly in my 6828.
One question,
What is this 'Microsoft YaHei font to display CJK' glyph means? Any way to remove this font(10MB) since its size is so big so as to save more space, so that the ROM is real big storage and clean.

It is a font that embedded in rom. It won't affect the real storage and memory but rom space.
Just because I am using this font to display CJK glyph, I embedded in the rom.If more people do not like it, I will remove it in next version.

[helloworld1]

so this is wm6 or 6.1 the lastest?

It is not 6.1 rom, 6.0 accually.
I am waiting for the official 6.1 release not beta one, so I may modify it.

It is a font that embedded in rom. It won't affect the real storage and memory but rom space.
Just because I am using this font to display CJK glyph, I embedded in the rom.If more people do not like it, I will remove it in next version.Thanks for your quick reply.
Well actually I m using comic san fonts ( 124 & 108 KB) which I copy from Windows XP pc. Other than that the default font which commonly use in other ROM are tahoma and tohamabold are quite accepted as a default font and easily read. And this Microsoft yahei are quite similar to tahoma( as what I see when set to it) just that the size are smaller.
I also own a hermes flashed with Dragon Clean ROM with 83.58 MB free storage as well also tried other big storage roms but never notice this font before, thats why I ask. I have had my HP 6828 ignored for almost 6 month since then, but your ROM just came to rescue and it is active again with WM6!!!:D

Sorry, but what is CJK glyph and what does it do?

[min1968]

Please keep MSYH if it doesn't affect other function.
Or make two different version with /without it.

Thanks.

[helloworld1]

This font can display larger range of unicode coverage mostly Chinese, Japanese, Korean special character and glyph.
I have used fontforge to replaced this font's English part with Tahoma, so it won't affect the English(and most European language) display. Because, the default is wider and higher than tahoma resulting in cutting parts of the glyph when displayed.
The modified font's name is msyht.ttf,Microsoft YaHei.

[helloworld1]

This rom used tahoma as default font and fontlink to msyht.ttf. So it will mostly use Tahoma font and won't take any memory until you try to display glyphs that isn't in Tahoma. Then system will use msyht.ttf and consume some more font cache memory.

Minor update again, but I won't do it so frequently before the official release of WM 6.1.

ps: Mmmmm, I will return to my university soon and will take TOEFL test so I won't have much spare time to maintain this rom. But I won't abandon this rom. Any suggestion is welcome and anyone who suggest the solutions to the bugs will have my sincerely gratitudes.

[edywanwan]

Wow ....update again aaa...?
So I hope this new update ROM may have the same design because I am going to flash now. I hope by restoring my backup through SPB from previous ROMupdate 1 b30 will be able to work and just take 15 + 3 minutes and that's about all. If not, then another 4 hours non sleep again:p ha..ha...

Regarding flash light for use as torchlight, I found this application works

[helloworld1]

This information is useful for one who want to recover data using a backup software like spb backup or something like that.
You do NOT need to do so if you are doing a fresh install.
If you updated from b29 to b30 do:
1. reinstall all your java apps.
if you updated from b30 to b35 do:
2. Delete the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactF ramework] in registry editor like resco registry. Import attached reg file using resco registry(included in resco explorer). If you do not do so, apps like calculator won't work.

[min1968]

I flashed B35, so far so good. Two questions:
1, Is there anyway to turn power on by other buttons? There was an option in settings/button in official WM5, but not this WM6.
2, Is it same way to hardreset as official WM5 (Press and hold the Answer/Send, Power, and End Call, then press the Reset)?

Thanks for great ROM.

1. It is not possible in this version, I may figure it out in the future.
2. Not the same, press and hold POWER button and press reset. Then there will be a screen with a green and red phones. But you need to press two "-" button simultaneously to complete the hard reset.

1,2Ha..ha...too late!! Last night i've flash and restore backup using SPB from previous ROM but some apps which need NETCF didnt work.There are few redundant files restored from previous backups (GACxxx files) which I presume were previous NETCF2.0 components in windows folder which blended together with the new NETCF 3.5 files causing the whole framework failed. So, I had no choice but to manually installed all my apps again manually the whole night again.
Now this morning u provide this net.reg.cab files to overcome this different ROM backup, does it mean that it will overide and clean the old NET2.0 components restoration ? If so that's good news but something I missed already..hehe..
Thanks a lot, I really like this ROM!!!!:D:D:D

[helloworld1]

Sorry hearing from that, I will provide the restore procedure along with the future release.
The old .net cf files are in rom. spb won't restore it, so it will not result in a mixed 2.0 and 3.5 leaving junks. The GAC-* files in b35 are renamed from .net cf 3.5 cab, just for easier to remove in the future.
Run /windows/cgacutil.exe to see which version of .netcf your using.

[edywanwan]

Well...nevermind, so long everything work perfect. Keep up:)

Who can tell me about battery life.My phone only 20 hour.Thank

[helloworld1]

I don't have this problem. My battery lasts for 3 days and 6 hr in use just like the original wm5.

[min1968]

Same here. 6828 (or any this kind of phone) is not very good at power, but this ROM is no worse than offcial WM5.
BTW flash seems work on my camera, and so far I didn't see Wifi ON itself after soft reboot.

I am very satisfied with this ROM and would keep it on my 6828 untill WM6.1 come out.

I don't have this problem. My battery lasts for 3 days and 6 hr in use just like the original wm5.

[edywanwan]

I don't have this problem. My battery lasts for 3 days and 6 hr in use just like the original wm5.Same here, without using the battery on standby only consume 10% to 20% for 24 hours.Using heavily especially for Internet using WiFi last 6 hours.
Camera flash does light-on when taking picture(during snap) but unlike old HP ROM which has to be manually light-up by clicking the flash icon in camera apps then snap picture. This is better as it works like a real camera, not just shining up before actual picture taking. I found that this new behavior work in all version of your ROM that I had flashed.

[limchris]

I have flashed the 20080219,b35 rom. Generally very satisfied with with this rom. However, I can't seem to get Windows Live or Windows Live Messager to work through I don't have a problem surfing using GPRS or wifi. It is a good and clean rom. Looking forward to the WM 6.1 update.

[min1968]

Me too. But I think this is WM6 issue. I have used a few PDAs/PDA phones with unofficial WM6, none of them have Windows Live work. So actually I can not use WM6 built-in Message software to send/receive hotmail in all unofficial WM6 I've used.

I can't seem to get Windows Live or Windows Live Messager to work through I don't have a problem surfing using GPRS or wifi.

It was also a dream for me about a week age before I bought a new battery(1200mAh).
My old battery is severely damaged and needs to get charged twice a day to maintain a normal usage.

Thx .Your Rom is better . The battery is upgrade

[kjskho1]

helloworld1, the latest rom also has Microsoft YaHei included in the image? i m just thinking if we would get extra space for other program installation if u exclude it fr the rom? i m oso using this font for my current rom (not urs), but i place it in my sd card n hv the registry tweak...

[gigy]

please help. unable to download this rom from mediafire. its stopping after sometime. i have tried almost 20 times but not able to complete download. can you please give a rapid share link? thanks in advance

[helloworld1]

msyh font is still included, but it is tested that it do not consume any user space but a little program memory when displaying non european glyphs.

[helloworld1]

Sorry, uploading to rapidshare is a disaster to me. I know that mediafire is a little unstable to download recently. You may try download it in different time of the day. I may also upload it to my ftp in China but I guess it would be much slower for any other places than Mainland China.

So I connect to RW6828 with activated "Internet Sharing" and can't use internet ((((

[helloworld1]

Read help from internet sharing carefully.
Referring to it, you should install activesync at least 4.2. Maybe that is the problem. The internet sharing does not emulate a standard modem, and the driver is needed.

[rogerwee]

bro, i realised that the battery drain up very fast. for half a day, it drain up almost 30%-40% of my battery.

I wonder any bros is having this problem as well. Pls advise. Thanks

helloworld1
may be you have link to "internet sharing" help in WM6 ?

Thanks

[min1968]

helloworld1:
a question: Does this ROM include/overwrite Radio(GSM) firmware, or keeps original one?

[helloworld1]

help of internet sharing:
open internet sharing, press start button, select help, that is maybe on the bottom of the start menu, you will see the help.

[helloworld1]

It does not contain the gsm radio firmware. It contains os part only, so it won't override your gsm part. The latest gsm is 0.34, if anyone want to update, you have to do a normal wm5 update and then update this one again.
Note:
It is said that renaming the gsm firmware to mot.mot then copying to a sd card will flash it separately. But I fail to do so.

[edywanwan]

This is really an issue. Once connected to USB through internet sharing, the pc doesnt reconize the device as a modem,thus it fails to install. Hence no internet connection happen. I have another Hermes100 and this device immedietly recognized and internet on the way,no problem. So I think there is something with HP device that is not quite right, either hardware or ROM matters.

[roma_pop]

In Hermes you got WM6?

On jiggs ROM was old "Modem Link", but in all others just "internet sharing".

For me, to make "internet sharing" as modem connection for internet in laptop was unsuccessfully in any others ROM either jiggs ROM ("Modem Link").

So at this time just available "internet sharing" with WMWifiRouter as Wifi access point, at least i think it's easiest way.

Sure , available separate cabs for "Modem Link" , but there is registry changing, after that changing i was problem with bluetooth and bluetooth OBEX (file transfer).

So if somebody has good solution either WMWifiRouter, please respond.
Thanks

[helloworld1]

Ok, I will look into the problem.

Hello helloworld1,

Nice work with the clean ROM!!

I have been watching this thread and NHOCBANME's for 6828 ROM for long time, but I still have not make the move to upgrade, it is because I have concerns with stability and functionality issues that it may cause, and once I upgraded, I won't upgrade for a long time, reason is I rely on my device for work heavily, and can't afford to be a tester.

I love CLEAN ROM, so I think NHOCBANME's ROM may not be my cup of tea as it has been personalised with extra apps I don't use. But what I do like is he replaced the O2 boot screen with the HP's, do you think you can do the same for this CLEAN ROM? so it doesn't have brand conflict.

I'll probably wait until there's no more issues found by anyone, then I'll bite the bullet and upgrade.

BTW, how long does it take the camera to take a shot and store the image on the latest Clean ROM?

For those who has upgraded to the latest Clean ROM, can you please post more about your experience with the ROM? I'd like to hear about all the +'s and -'s.

Keep up the good work!!

Cheers,

K

[helloworld1]

1. The rom is very stable on my device. The battery performance is just like wm5. The problems is in the first thread, and is often updated.
2. I never care of the boot screen so Inever modify the picture. But you can modify it yourself by referring the sticky post on this forum. I may modify it if you cannot do the job and I have free time, maybe next month.
3. The camera works better than wm5 one. The start up and taking picture time is about 3 seconds.

[roma_pop]

For my RW6828 The battery performance is better then in wm5.

In WM5 was about 1.5 day on fully charged battery,
on WM6(clean ROM) was about 2 day on fully charged battery.

So in total , i'm very happy about this clean ROM, some problems are inherent to all WM6 ROM's.
From all tested by me ROM's , this ROM I like much more.

Waiting WM6.1 )

Thanks

(2) Tomtom with bluetooth gps receiver OK?
(3) Anyone used Touchpal Pro keypad on this ROM? Runs OK? I mainly use this for text input.
(4) What apps has anyone tried to run and was successful?
(5) Infra-red beaming OK?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

As long as gprs is working, and activesync works over that, push mail should have no problem. If have gprs active, then you can go to live.mail2web.com and get a free push email account (microsoft exchange server). that way as soon as email arrives you get notify instantly, like sms.

Better still, you can sync all your calendar, contacts, task etc with it over gprs and have a backup copy on the server, after hard reset, just setup gprs and server source then watch all your contacts etc comes back in.

Sorry for going off topic...

Now... anyone has tried Tomtom or anything similar?

Excellent, I think that will give me enough confident to upgrade.

I think for internet sharing, if your laptop has wifi, may be can use ppc program called wifirouter, which turns your ppc into a wifi router, it requires at least aku3.3 or higher to run, and my current aku is too old for that.

I think sharing internet via USB only works if you have a Windows based laptop, and I have only a Macbook so I think wmwifirouter is the only option for me regardless usb works or not. Beside, you can still plug in your usb cable to the laptop, so drawing power from the laptop instead when phone battery is getting low.

Hi helloworld1 !

Thanks for this ROM.
I was waiting since last October and the first news of the possibility to move to WM6 for rw6828.
Your release made my decision to upgrade. And it was OK !! Using a 1Gb Kingston mini SD.

I chose 20080305,b36.
There are just the minimum software I was expecting.

I was a little affraid, because first boot was a bit long. But everything is fine.
I have my BT headset ok, Wifi ok. Power consumption seems ok also. Photos are taken much faster.
It seems to be a little faster than the original HP rom, but it seems that it's an improvement of the cache management.
I didn't check yet if original HP bug of the audio loos after headset removing is still here.

The blinking green light for GSM activity is a bit slow. But that's not really a pain.

Thanks a lot !!!
Great job !

For WM6 we need ActSync version 4.5 or later. It wont work with previous 4.2 like WM5 does.Download from this page

What do you mean by this? The earpiece socket is problematic in 6828,so sometimes the system won't detect whether the earpiece is pluged or not. Is this what you described? Behold, it is a hardware problem and thus have nothing to do with the rom.

There is currently no voip program in wm6 rom but 6.1 will have. windows live messenger is working fine in my device, however some people resorted that it fails to set up the account. It works quite different from the wm5 one. One may need to use windows live to setup the account.

Hello Hellowworld1,

I took the plunge today upgrading my 6828 with your b36 ROM, All done successfully on a 512mb SD card, and took 13 minutes. After busy testing for more than half a day, the following are my findings, I am very happy I make the move, and will never go back to wm5 again.

(1) Push mail worked, I was very worried when setting up server source in active sync becuse the domain field is dimmed out, as I am suppose to fill in the domain name of my exchange server, luckily it worked even without the domain name, I think this is a bug as I can get the blinking prompt in the field but doesn't register any key presses, tried keyboard, transcriber etc. Anyway, it worked, so I am happy.

(2) GPS worked well, and render faster, tried with Tomtom, iGo, Naman Smart St and Mapking G10, all no problem.

(3) All programs worked well, except Crypto Card, a free eWallet program, I guess it's normal since the program is built for wm2003SE.

(4) I can't get Windows Live and Messenger to work at all, I tried it on wifi, usb and gprs, both programs returned "Windows Live was unable to establish internet connection..." How did you get it to work? mind share your settings? I don't really care about these, as they are useless anyway, but I am curious. I use Fring instead.

Everything else worked perfectly, well done!! I will keep this ROM for a long while.

Regards,

K

Glad to see you you finally move on; and thanks for sharing your experience. Windows live is really problematic and only works months ago for me and broken recently. I guess the server is modified, and it detects that this rom is not official. I will try to get it work.

Also when do you plan to release WM6.1? if it's within days I will wait. Otherwise I would like to upgrade to b39 becasue I want to use Windows live.

[helloworld1]

No the 6.1 is far from release. Also, I will not update so frequent after b39 if no serious bug found. I forget to use "touch" command on this rom so the date is not accurate.

[kusanagi]

Glad to see you you finally move on; and thanks for sharing your experience. Windows live is really problematic and only works months ago for me and broken recently. I guess the server is modified, and it detects that this rom is not official. I will try to get it work.

Hi... noticed you have fixed Windows Live etc with b39, this b39 with HP boot screen? :p

If I backup my b36 with SPB Backup, can I use it to restore to b39?

Bluetooth PAN simply refused to connect, when I pressed "connect" on the left soft key, it attempted to connect to gprs first, but reported saying couldn't connect to gprs and brought up the network setting dialog box. Is this a very tricky one to fix?

Regards,

K

[helloworld1]

You can restore backup. The bluetooth pan is very tricky though.

[pelesityart]

HELP!!

i've copied diskimg.nb0 into FAT formatted 512 card and press and hold 2 softkeys and press reset..

after that it'll go into bootloader mode and i've wait 4 1~15 mins and it will auto reset..

unfortunately, my old rom still shows up!!!!!

how? why?

can u please add 12 byte to the rom 4 me? or what else can i do? and if you can add the 12byte 4 me,ca please provide me correct RUU 4 me to flash this rom? please~~

[helloworld1]

It is not easy for me to upload and I can not test whether you can update it with pc because I don't have a legal copy of windows. The other day I may write a small program to help you adding header.

You can format your card using different fat like fat12, fat16 and vfat(I personally uses vfat by utilising mkfs.vfat) to try again.

[Jolie]

The ROM b36 ,The bluetooth is not working

[helloworld1]

Strange , the bluetooth is working fine on all my rom in my 6828. Please describe more details about your problem.

[kusanagi]

The ROM b36 ,The bluetooth is not working

I am using Rom b36, the only bluetooth features that doesn't work is bluetooth pan, all other bluetooth features work perfectly, external gps receiver, handfree, obex (send receive files via bluetooth), bluetooth sync, all no problems.

i think bluetooth pan not working is caused by the internet sharing software... just my guess though.

K

[pelesityart]

still have same problem even formatted my card to fat16,fat32,fat..

please, i need this clean rom..

[calvinljh]

@calvinljh,
For WM6 we need ActSync version 4.5 or later. It wont work with previous 4.2 like WM5 does.Download from this page

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx

Microsoft outlook 2003 works well with me.

Yes, sorry forgot tell you, i'm using Version 4.5 it hang and task manager in PC told "no responding". Wonder you face this before?

[helloworld1]

please describe why you say you cannot flash and what is your card capacity?

[pelesityart]

ok..i've extracted diskimg.nb0 into my 512mb miniSD card..then i put my pda into bootloader mode by pressing left+rigth soft keys+reset button..then it'll show hp logo with pbl1.0.1 at the bottom of screen..

after bout 10 mins it reset automatically n still showing the old rom bfore flash..

what is actually my probs? : )

[calvinljh]

Hi All,

Anyone could advise step to install Chinese Font Support and even link download for WM6? I know Version B35 & B36 is supported. But B39 has remove.

Can I have Cab file to install? And last, on PinYin support, so I do not need to use 3rd Party Software.

:D:p

Yes, it does apply to me, try use Flash Via PC instead of SD Card:)

[calvinljh]

WEll this auto configurator doesnt configure correctly for me. I use this cab for configuration and its done well for MMS also.After done we can remove the installation while the setting remains.
This cab from Hermes Forum.

Hi Bro, after install, nothing show. Can Guide me on this step by step, sorry bro i was new :p

[pelesityart]

[calvinljh]

Use Hex Editor to add, because I dun know how to upload file to website (is 50MB). Wonder you face any problems on Sync? My was hang & can't Sync and Even MMS / GPRS usage (I was also located same region country with you, but different stage) can you advise?

Sorry:D

[pelesityart]

[edywanwan]

Hi Bro, after install, nothing show. Can Guide me on this step by step, sorry bro i was new :pSorry, I replied wrongly just now.. hehe.
This hope u can do it,
1. Insert your SIM card.
2, Install the cab until finish. Then softreset your device.
The icon will show somewhere, either in setting>connection or maybe in programs I cant remember but there is
somewhere in your device)
3.Click on the icon, it will open and ask to select your country and carrier. Select yours and it will start to auto configure your connection.
4. After finish, it will ask u to softreset, do it.
5. Your device is configured. So u may remove the apps or keep it, doesnt matter because its done! Removing it may gain some advantage because it consume about 600KB in your windows folder. To remove go through normal setting>system>add remove programs.

[calvinljh]

U mean 4.5 doesnt work?

Yeap, was hang also,,,,, so sad... haiz. you have any idea? :)

[helloworld1]

Accordingly to the responses, activesync 4.2+ should work fine.
I may write a small program to help you add header if I have time. Also I will update the first thread to hint how to update.
It will take some time for me though and I cannot test whether it works.

[edywanwan]

Yeap, was hang also,,,,, so sad... haiz. you have any idea? :)Try to delete your partnership first. Then try again. I never had these problem before. It work for all my ROM (8 in HP and 12 for Hermes).
ON actSync file>connection setting make sure u check the box for allow usb connections.
To tweak maybe u can use this apps

I have made a little program written in java to help you to add 12 byte header and I also update the second thread of this post to give you some hints about updating using PC.
BTW, I updated the first thread with an updated prelude.

[min1968]

I think Chinese font is still in b39. Actually this is one of main reasons I like this ROM.

[helloworld1]

Didn't I say clearly? I mean b39 support Chinese even better, you can also use Chinese(taiwan, singapore) aside from mainland China. You do not need any 3rd party software to display Chinese, although input method is required to input.

Hi Helloworld1,

Just realised with the b36 ROM, the battery won't charge over usb without activesync (the hp power adaptor works though).

Is there a way to enable this? because I only have access to Mac at work, so I can't just plug the usb in front of the mac and charge my phone.

Thanks,

K

[helloworld1]

It works fine on my notebook. It will charge my device anytime I connect to it. Maybe mac is different.

[calvinljh]

You notebook has activesync? or linux? I used to be able to charge my wm5 phone on the same Mac with the same usb cable, but not anymore since I upgraded to wm6... hmm... any clues?

Cheers,

Hi helloworld1,

Your ROM is great, just wonder from where I could download some software ulitity? etc;- PocketCM, PIM BackUp, HTC........ :p:p

[helloworld1]

They can be downloaded from development & hack section from this forum. Search it!

[redsoxes]

Hi helloworld1,

I goggled and come across this thread while searching for wm6 for my rw6828. Thanks for your great effort.

May i know why do we have to "replace the hpRUU.exe in c:\IPAQ(default install) with the attached file hpRUU.exe in archive hpRUU.zip" while doing a downgrade to WM5?

[helloworld1]

Replacing it with modified file will do no harm. Why don't you?

[limchris]

Hi helloworld1,

Just want to drop a note to thank you for the effort. I have been using your update 2 and has posted previously to inform you of the Windows Live problem. Didn't really expect you will rectify it so soon. The chinese fonts is also a bonus. Thank you once again.

Hi Helloworld1,

Just a quick question, does b39 has the HP bootscreen?

Thanks,

K

[helloworld1]

Of course it has hp boot screen, all updates are incremental.

[kusanagi]

Of course it has hp boot screen, all updates are incremental.

Thanks for confirming that.

Is there any tricks to restore backup with SPB Backup from b36 to b39? Or simply just flash and restore?

So any foreseeable updates after b39? If not I will flash to b39 and and use it for long time.

Thanks,

K

[helloworld1]

You can simply flash and restore without much panic except some clean up in b39 will reverted.
I am not working on a further update, but I will do if anyone make a good suggest. Also the 6.1 major update will only occur if 6.1 is officially released and stable enough.
If you do not need the features in updated version, You can ignore some minor update. Old one means more tested.

What changes will be reverted? can you list them? don't bother if there's too many.

i have to say i'm impressed...
you made a pretty solid rom

and i specially love it coz u stick with 1 WM6 build and work all the bugs on each release... so each realease has less bug... i'm guessing ur a programmer...

before ur rom i've been using Nhocbanme ROM... but ke keeps on jumping from one WM6 build to another... so each of his ROM has different bugs... which is frustrating me

Thanks for encouraging me. I think changing XIP/OS frequently is not very beneficial for common users 'cause they brings in more problems than merits. But I still appreciate these people who always get new OS build for us since it is their work that infusing new blood to the old device. I just follow these master's work by making a tiny fix.

The mediafire stores files in different servers, so you may encounter this problem. Try in another time and it will be fine.

I think I didn't say clearly. I mean I delete three unwanted file that reside outside windows folder in b39 and it takes (4k + 200k + 600k) space. You WILL restore these files. But this will not cause any problem because. The other changes take place in windows folder and your backup software WON'T restore.
any other file.

[helloworld1]

a mp4 file called *nature in my document/my video folder. I can not remember the other two but if you restore files, do not restore _Qhiddenpartition folder , it will be fine.

[kusanagi]

Yup, I know that .mp4 file, attempted to remove but couldn't due to it's part of the ROM. When backing up with SPB Backup, it reported that _Qhiddenpartition folder could not be backup, so I think it won't be restored as it wasn't backed up.

So far, I am really happy with the ROM, clean, tidy, stable, fast and no brand conflicts, it just looks as it's an official ROM. I will use this for another year at least. Too bad 6828 doesn't have 3G...

I've just updated the ROM on my 6828 from b35 to b39, and noticed a small problem - The camera seems to flicker alot when i run the camera application. Pictures taken with the camera aren't affected, the flicker only seems to occur on screen. I don't use the camera all the time, so its not really urgent, but some advice on fixing it would be appreciated :)

The camera sometime flickers on b36 too, not sure about b35, but i doubt the camera has been touched, otherwise helloword would have listed that in the release note.

Do a soft-reset an it should be fine, although it is a bit temperamental.

Will move to b39 in the next 2 hours or so after I get home :)

I have just notice this problem. I do not use camera very much so I never take notice on this. Thanks for hinting me. I really never touch the camera but I thought it may have something to do with the HP bootscreen. I will flash several old rom to verify this bug.

I flashed to b39 yesterday, and tried the camera about 4 times (twice before restore and twice after, all done after a soft-reset), no flickers so far. Like I said earlier, on b36 I did experience the flickers, but it's temperamental, sometime I get it, sometime I don't, a soft-reset will fix it, I think it happens about 3 times out of 10.

2.sometimes it feels like it lag... but then it response better.. (is this because the pagepool size?is there anyway so i can change the pagepool size without flashing again?

Sorry if this question has been asked before... but would this ROM work on my MWg Atom Life (purchased from Expansys in the USA)? I'm having a lot of problems with the current ROM (which is an older revision that this).

Would I need to follow the same steps on my Atom Life in order to flash it?

Thanks in advance! :)

Just did a soft-reset on my device, kept getting stuck on the HP screen at one point which scared me a bit. :confused: But re-inserting the battery fixed it up again and the camera is now working as it should.

Hi,

(1) I have spb pocket+ too (installed on device memory), but never experience this issue, I have tried switching between themes (those 4 come with the ROM) back and forth more than ten times, still no problem. I also have Spb GPRS monitor, Spb Weather and Spb Diary incorporated into Plus, have zero problems.

So I'm guessing it may be your other softwares is causing the issue, not Spb? I'm running Spb Pocket Plus 4.02 the latest.

Did you install Spb P+ on device memory or SD card? It is recommended by Spb that you install P+ onto your device memory.

(2) I have no lag here at all, every key/stylus presses almost instantaneous and in fact, I have never experience this kind of quick responses from WM5.

K

[helloworld1]

I don't have any problem with spb p+, and the response is fast. Changing page pool is possible, there is a link in early part of this post, I think.

Good news!! 8GB works on the b39 without drivers? Did you mean miniSD or microSD? Radio is fine on my 6828 with b39, remember you have to plug in your headset that comes with the phone, it uses that as antenna.

Seems like there's something wrong with my radio hardware.
It will sometimes tune to the wrong channel (example: Tuning to FM95.00 will give me sound from FM95.80, even though the software is showing FM95.00).

Flashed back to 1.01.03 WWE, and problem still exists.

And yes, the original headset is plugged in.

Search phonepad in the forum, you will see it. Install the cab, the phonepad will come out.

You don't need to take out the battery, just give that reset button a poke with the stylus will fix it, sometimes u still get it after soft-reset because it happens randomly.

/*I didn't check yet if original HP bug of the audio loos after headset removing is still here.*/
What do you mean by this? The earpiece socket is problematic in 6828,so sometimes the system won't detect whether the earpiece is pluged or not. Is this what you described? Behold, it is a hardware problem and thus have nothing to do with the rom.
Ok.
I wasn't sure it was a HW problem.
Since I flashed to b36 I didn't noticed this problem anyway.
But like some others, I noticed the camera flicker.
I don't remember if there was an icon notifying that there is a BT headset connected, on the today screen in WM5 ? There is no such icon in the new ROM.
Still, I don't regret the upgrade. Rom is stable and fast.

I think it's normal that there is no headset icon next to the radio reception bars, I know it used to be there on wm5, however the icon does appear on the dial pad when activated.

About camera flicker

- there's an error "file specified not found" when u pick Ring-Standard .wma during setup wizard.

- Flash 7 not working with PIE, it always hangs when browsing site with Flash content. soft reset needed to resolve the issue. may b Flash 7 no longer compatible with wm6. anyone has experience?

- the bundled msyht.ttf doesn't display the asian words to my liking, i fallback to the version of msyh.ttf i used in wm5 which is 14mb+ compared to the 10mb+ bundled. here is the link (http://www.mediafire.com/?31dmtnnyzzs) to the file if helloworld1 would like to bundle this into next update :)

also, i wonder what version of .net was included in this rom?

[helloworld1]

First, I deleted many unnecessary ring tunes, so this may lead to some problems.

Second, I didn't test flash 7, maybe flash lite 2 + opera is better.

Finally, I won't include the 14m font in my next update, sorry. The rom do not have enough space. I am interested in what glyph you cannot display in msyht(unicode extend a?)? Also this rom is intended for English speaking users.

in addition, .net 3.5 is included.

do u know whr can i get flash lite 2 cab file? i tried adobe.com but couldnt find it. as for msyht, it can display, just tat the 14mb version looks more neatly when display chinese n japanese file names...

i just discovered an incompability. i installed Touch Commander (http://www.touch-commander.com/), a software works like HTC Home. this software clashes with the camera, which the camera will never launches successfully, i hv to hard reset to get bck the camera into working order. not sure it's the software o the rom issue...

The msyht font displays very well on my device. Maybe you forget to turn cleartype on.

helloworld1: If you have space limitation (I noticed you downgraded Windows live due to that), there is a 5MB version MSYH font. I didnt notice difference from full 10MB version.
Another option is 方正中倩 font, shape as beatiful as MSYH, only 3MB.
If you need thoses fonts, let me know I can email you.

I'm now half way in my first attempt to flash my 6828 via PC, but the update utility is stuck at 6% on Stage 3: Update Extended Rom.... Already more than 30mins have passed without it moving...

Anyone with any idea?

After a close examination of the files in my installation folder reveals that I had placed the wrong version of ExtendedRom.img. The one I had used was obtained from nhocbanme's RUU file pack (which failed to execute with the ROM here.)

So I did the heart wenching thing of pulling out my usb cable and tried to restart it. As expected, the device fails to boot. So I followed the advice of restoring the brick state and as I'm writing this, its running the original hp flash program back to v1.01. Here's to hoping it goes well...

[knave]

Phew... the flash back to default v1.01 was successful. Next thing I did was reflash your WM6 rom. The reflash was successful too and now I'm syncing my contents to the phone!

What a miracle escape. ;)

First impressions: WM6 is snappy. Way better than my fren's Tytn II when I played around with it last time.


Last word, great job helloword1! Just when I thought my 6828 has reached its end of usefulness (was eyeing Touch Cruise), you came along and extended the lifespan of this phone. With this update, looks like I can finally wait for XPEDIA X1 to launch.


btw:
I feel you can do with beefing up your patching section on the 2nd post. I was almost confused by what you've written.
