wm6.1 for hx2000 series

[antgly]

I made a WM6 "Essentials" ROM by stripping away lesser used features and those that people are having trouble with to leave what is used the most by Pocket PC users.

IS THE ROM-SIZE 'Reduced' accordingly??:confused:

[hkksl]

Hi Tommy,

I am afraid that the IPAQ HP 2210 only has 32 MB of ROM
I have checked , re checked... and found on many sites that it has 32 MB...

I have even found this on xda-developpers : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337623&highlight=2210

So any advice for my poor 32 Mb ROM PDA ?

thanks again
JP

I guess tommy_adsl was thinking "HP iPAQhx2110"!!??

[antgly]

IS THE ROM-SIZE 'Reduced' accordingly??:confused:
As far as it seems, ROMs must be 64MB. However most of them are probably padded with empty space that leaves room on the device for your own things. Can tommy_adsl please clarify if I am right?

[fieldside]

IS THE ROM-SIZE 'Reduced' accordingly??:confused:

I have installed antgly's ROM and the resultant storage space is even less than Tommy's version without SRS. This ROM results in 12.16MB of storage size whereas Tommy's one, 12.75MB. Those programs reduced only affect the program space but not the storage space.

The link from first page to download the "without SRS versión" don't works. Can you reupload please?

Thanks

No, I can't because it's working :) ...

[Dezamundano]

Don't worry. The link is working now perfectly. Was a server of Rapidshare with hardware problems.

Thanks

[Dezamundano]

No, I can't because it's working :) ...

I don't saw your post before i write the last mine (I had not refreshed page).

Thank you very much. Your rom is now in my PC and soon in my ipaq :D. Or I hope...:rolleyes:

[antgly]

Is there a way that I can make my rom take up less space and leave more for storage tommy_adsl?

[asbestos]

Is there a way that I can make my rom take up less space and leave more for storage tommy_adsl?

Along those lines is there any way to just have the ROM load from the SD or CF card? Might be a nice work around for older devices that do not have a large enough ROM.

[Dezamundano]

Currently "almost" all goes well. I love this new ROM. Thank you Tommy.

The only problem I have at the moment is that I can not connect to Internet when my PDA in the cradle, where previously connected automatically over the PC connection.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Internet is working perfectly for me at home on the craddle, in the office under a proxy, ouside with wifi connection

==> it could be a problem with your configuration ?
1- check the active sync version and install AS 4.5
2- check the AS configuration :
- allow USB connection
- let the computer be connected to : "automatic"

hope this helps

thank you for the new rom , but my 2410 stopped at the step Fomating PS , what can i do?

thank you for the new rom , but my 2410 stopped at the step Fomating PS , what can i do?


Hello, I am like your, not that to do already, initially(originally) I thought that the problem was the language but probe with rom in English and im equally, not since(as,like) they it will have made some users who exist posting owners of one hx2410. We will continue waiting for some another improved rom

[carroccio]

thank you for the new rom , but my 2410 stopped at the step Fomating PS , what can i do?

I have the same problem, also with samz rom i had same problem, so i decided to downgrade to wm2003se. Now trying this new rom i have the same problem, it freeze formatting ps, the progress bar come to the end but nothing happen, i left it half an hour but nothing....

I think i will downgrade another time to wm2003se....

[dxdy]

thx for help guys... great thx @tommy_adsl

[visdiag]

i want to transfer file via the ir port. it can't find any device in the range. but i can use noviiremote to control my TV.

I found the infrared was not working as well, I was unable to beam a business card from my mobile phone to my hx2190 running Tommys WM6.1. I compared the registry values with my hx2795 running PDAViets WM6.0 and changed a few values to match. Nothing happened until I did a reset. Now, using IRDA, the 2190 accepts the business card from the phone, it can send and receive files beamed from File Explorer and it will Activesync to my laptop (Which my 2795 with WM6.0 won't do!).
Try altering HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\IrDA\DevAddr to 3431 hex (13361 decimal) then reset your device and try beaming a file.

I'm sure that it's a problem with my configuration, but I do not know what is and I do not find.

1- AS is 4.5

2.1-USB connection is allowed
2.2-What is this option? If this is the fourth option in the "configuration" (the fourth check box), then it is also allowed.

I tried on another PC and the same thing happens, so I think that the problem should be in the configuration of the PDA. If you can show me as to set, I should like so much.

Have any other idea?

Thank you for your time, Alain

[Dezamundano]

I found another problem, I do not know if that is related to the previous one. Where would I choose to use USB charging Active Sync remains hanging, consuming a lot of resources but without being able to synchronize. Practically the PC freezes.

[dxdy]

hmm.. i have hx2790 and dont have problems... maybe too much power drain from USB port? i have USB hub with external power

I have a HX2490b and also don't have this problem.

I have used this rom now for 5 days - and installed a LOT of programs and tested it very extensively. Also use a bluetooth keyboard. I never experienced any problems. Movies are playing fine with coreplayer. All the SPB programs are working perfectly. Memory is good.
It seems that WM6.1 is a lot faster then WM5 and a lot stabler...

For sure you have some config problems. On my 2750 I've configured active sync to allow FAST USB charging : ecerything is working fine. I also use, on my home PC, the craddle with success...

[bdacier]

I'm deeply sorry if I'm sounding silly right now, but I have a request:

Could someone please give me the full procedure including files to flash this ROM on my hx2110 using Vista. I'd appreciate it!!!

P.S.: How much space is left on my 64MB device after flashing?

[dxdy]

It seems that WM6.1 is a lot faster then WM5 and a lot stabler...

yes... i notice this too... very fast and stable... and less heating...

[dxdy]

P.S.: How much space is left on my 64MB device after flashing?

30-35 mb free space in ROM...

all procedure and files you have here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2093351&postcount=1

if you need help just ask :)

[bdacier]

Even for Vista? I'm quite scared about everything I've read about Vista so, are you sure?

[dxdy]

dont know for vista... i am still on old good XP

activesync work fine with vista?

edit: i see now, only Windows Mobile Device Center is supported for sync in Vista...

[bdacier]

Well that's the point Activesync has been replaced by Windows Mobile Device Center.

i try to modify registry, but it was still not work. My pocket is hx2490.

[dxdy]

you can try (dont try first step to PreBL mode), just connect PPC and try run "hpRUU.exe" and if program recognize your model and software, this OK (i think)

I dream to have so much (30-35 mb) free space on my hx2110 too!!
In reality, for hx2110 and hx2410 devices having 64MB rom, the free space would be 12~12.9MB.
I believe many people are awaiting a new "lite" rom in the near future!!. :p:D

12~12.9MB Free - that little free space? Weird, my hx2490 (also 64mb) with a lot of tools installed like SPB Pocket Plus has 29.90mb free memory!

hx2490 is 128MB ROM / 64MB RAM. So it has more free ROM space to install much applications.

I hope that following can serve others who have the same problem.


After a few hours testing, installing and uninstalling both problems have been resolved.

As I have done several things I do not know exactly what was the source of problems. I comment major maneuvers:

-- Basic: eliminate completely AS in computer, restart and reinstall. From there I allowed to connect to the Internet via USB-> PC.

-- Configure manually absolutely all options both AS (putting that does not allow wireless connections while connected via USB and leaving the defaults in the setting: automatic selection and not allow connections to ports) and the PDA, especially in the part of "Network Cards" (I think there was much of the problem).

-- Uninstall Wisbar Advance 3.1.8 and 3.1.7 back to that works much better in combination with the SPB PocketPlus 4.0.2. Also reinstalled and reconfigure the PocketPlus. I think both programs are maintained quite poorly with each other and with the WM6.1 thus doing some things remain rare (sometimes not refreshed icons Today's SPBPP plugin, sometimes puts the same icon to many different programs, etc.) . It will be a matter of they solvethese failures in future versions or we select only one of both...

-- Check SD, since in one of his many comings and goings had been the switch to block it by half, and that generated bad function in a lot of programs.

-- All well seasoned numerous reboots PC and PDA and other minors probes.

Anyway, it seems that everything returns to work, the AS (with or without load USB) as conection to Internet.



Shit for Bill Gates.

Thanks to everyone and greetings.

[bdacier]

Allright, 12MB's is good enough I just need to install Tomtom and Coreplayer, so this should be fine. But still, Vista... I mean should work isn't good enough for me. Doesn't anyone know about it, or better yet flashed it themself to a device?

hx2490 is 128MB ROM / 64MB RAM. So it has more free ROM space to install much applications.
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=348:)

Correct!

The old WM2003SE devices (2410, 2415) only have 64MB ROM where as the newer (2490, 2495) have 128 MB ROM's.

I have 14~ MB left over after flashing with the kitchen and changing a few things around.

Hi asbestos,
14~MB left!! How can you do that??:)

I did uncheck all of the unnecessary applications (for hx2110) in the BuildOS manual from the kitchen. I tried several times. The built ROM's (ipaqrom.nbf) size remaining 48MB. The most was 12.12MB free space after Flashing.:confused:

Don't know how asbestos did it. But I use SKTOOLS and optimize my PDA for memory... and this gives me a few MB. Also SKTOOLS works fine with WM6.1!

i try to modify registry, but it was still not work. My pocket is hx2490.

OK, try adding to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex\Transpo rts\" the following:

{30a7bc02-59b6-40bb-aa2b-89eb49ef274e}

The model shouldn't make any difference, they all use the same motherboard.

BTW Managed to sort the problem I had using Activesync on IR on my hx2795. I was getting a Remote Networking Error 608. It turned out that I had accidentally set the External GPS setting for GPS Program Port to Com3 which is the IRDA port. It must have been causing some sort of clash. Have now set it to None and Activesync works OK on Infrared.

[tazeemn]

Absolutely brilliant. I instaled the ROM reluctantly, but followed the instruction to the word. And Violla! my iPAQ 2790b is now running WM6.1. Great work Tommy. Keep up.

Are these upgrades legal? I'm just wondering how they are free? Thanks.

[dxdy]

yes if you don't tell to Bill Gates ;)

many devices not supported by manufactures for upgrade and older OS is crap... and this is only possibility for upgrading... 6.1 is very good upgrade and finally support SDHC (SD cards 16 gb now working fine :))

[sliders7]

Are these upgrades legal? I'm just wondering how they are free? Thanks.

Most manufactures don't want to spend another penny to satisfied their customer. They prefer produce new model to earn more money.

example:
HP offers 3 yrs support but in that 3 yrs only happened 2/3 times fixes... thats not include OS upgrade... only patches.
They produce good devices but got the worst customer support in the whole damn world.

by that time you device warranty already pass 1 year warranty... so Cooked rom is way to go.

[JarekG]

I have to second that, my hx2490b still does more than what i need it to do and I'm not about to spend another $500 to get new device (my wife would serve me scramble eggs using my own eggs :p if i got another device)
I got this device for about 11 months now, need to wait at least another year before I get new device (and it's not going to be HP that's for sure).

And I should add that they are free cause there are lot's of smart people that are willing to share for free.

I have installed your rom to my hx2410 but it only results in about 12MB storage space left, not the 14MB you claimed. This is even less than the 12.7MB based on Tommy's Non-SRS version. How could you get 14MB? Besides, this rom lacks the Windows Live Messenger which is quite basic these days.

[fieldside]

Don't know how asbestos did it. But I use SKTOOLS and optimize my PDA for memory... and this gives me a few MB. Also SKTOOLS works fine with WM6.1!

Are you sure the sktools can get you more storage space after optimization? Maybe it only deletes some cache and temporary files. I think it will not make the rom smaller.

I hope Tommy can further minimize the rom size (that is, maximize the storage space for our 64MB units) by deleting some unnecessary files, such as the Today's background themes, Templates under \My Documents, all those help, log, txt, bak and temp files under \Windows etc....

[Dadi68]

I installed the ROM on my 2790 without problems. Keep up the good work Tommy!

No not more storage memory - but more program memory. It changes the font cache size, PIE Input Buffer size and File system cache...

I have a problem with viewimgfs

I had unpacked ipaqrom.nbf and used prepare_imgfs get the file imgfs_raw_data.bin

but when i use viewimgfs i can't get any files

So am I, 11.98MB free storage space with asbestos' ROM on my hx2110. Whereas tommy's ROM has 12.20MB free, then I stay with it. :)

I guess that is one reason I should not post after a really long day at work. I went back and flashed my ROM from the kitchen again and I only have the same ~12 MB. I honestly am not sure what I did or if I was smoking the crack pipe when I posted that but I was not able to get 14 or so MB again. Sorry to have caused any confusion!

I may have to mess around with it some. I have 14.91 MB storage with the base ROM and after I flashed it one time I have a touch over 14 MB left. I flashed like 5 times last night trying to find out what I did again but no luck :(

You are awesome... i had a WM6 rom on my hx2755 but it didn't work all the way. The messaging never worked, with this rom it does... Thanks again!

I have still the same "charging problem" in this ROM..... :(

Piotr

[tsoglanos]

Lutek I don't have any more the charging problem, though I have random turning on issues, after I added some appointments to my calendar. However I believe that is not a fault of the ROM for this issue, but a general problem of calendar.

[tsoglanos]

No relation, just stating that I don't have any more the charging problem! However I am facing the calendar problem, that it seems that others don't

[Lutek II]

Ok... now I understand :)
My charging problem exist in latest Tommy's ROM (without SRS).
Which one problem exist in Your calendar?

[bigu1975]

Tommy,

I would like to thank you - I have upgraded my iPAQ hx2490b to WM6.1. Upgrade was very smooth. I am testing your ROM since few weeks - for me it is brilliant. Since now I have found only two minor issues:

1. I noticed that after going to WM6.1 from WM6 the activesync connection is rather slow. It is much slower than before. Now the file transfer to my device (via activesync 4.5) is terrible slow. Due to fact that I use external card reader this is minor problem.

2. Regional settings for polish - when I changed regional settings to polish I had two problems which have been solved after a lot of strange activities which I don't know remember now.
- firstly the time format, I prefer to use 18:00 instead of 06:00 pm. It was really hard to change this setting.
- secondly date format: changing the long data format to short was also hard - I was trying to change it several of times and suddenly it started to work - how? I don't know.
This minor problem maks the filling that the ROM settings are not predictable, but after I was able to change it finally I forgot about it.

So this is really good ROM.
One more time thank you and congratulation.

Regards,
Bigu1975

[denys]

setting the time is not that hard
got to settings - system - regional setting - time and change timestyle from
H:mm:ss to HH:mm:ss
good luck

I have tried to cook without even putting any salt and spices. I can only able to trim fat down by less than 0.5MB. I guess the only way is to change (presently hx2410) to a bigger wok.

I wish I understood the ROM more. No matter what I change in the kitchen it always comes out to 48 or so MB once installed. I thought I had more at one point but I must have been mistaken.

sorry to interupt all big brothers,
i have try Tommy's rom for WM6.1on my 2790, but i found can't get cht characters by this eng rom, so i would like to return back to WM5_CHT,
i already have the SP32407 (CHT rom) and sp33752 (ENG rom) on my hand, how to preform the downgrade? is that can be done?
Thanks

Try........
1.Extract the SP32407 in an empty folder of your PC.
2.Put the hx2790 in "Pre-BL..." mode.
3.Connect to PC, and AC adapter. "USB is connected" appears on 2790.
4.Press button 1 (Calendar) ONCE. "USB" appears on 2790.
5.Run "hpRUU.exe".

Good luck!!:)

>< thx hkksl, by following your instructions, after run the hpRUU.exe, incorrect language is shown, but if i use SP33752 rom, it can continue to proceed, coz that's an english rom, is that can give some treat to cheat the rom to install the CHT rom?

1.Copy sp32407 CHT ".nbf" file to sp33752 folder.
2.Run hpRUU.exe of sp33752. STOP when "update" screen appears.
3.Rename the Eng ".nbf" to any other name.
4.Rename the CHT .nbf to what the Eng .nbf orginally was.
5. HIT "update" to continue. :)

[amaurynieto]

Hello there Tommy - I've been doing some pretty extensive reading here, I would very much appreciate confirmation of two questions I have, so I can proceed to download and install the ROM as provided (MANY THANKS BTW!)

a) I have two Ipaqs, 2490b and 2790. Will the ROM work on both? (I know it says hx2700 series, but this is why I ask. 2790 has a fingerprint reader, so maybe the rom won't support that).

b) When I downgrade, should I ever choose to, you provided a link to a ROMPAGE from HP that also says "Rom for hx2700 series". So... does that mean that it will work for both models? 2490b and 2790?

Thanks so much good buddy. Cheers.

[amaurynieto]

(sorry, I meant to say that the hx2000 series is supported by the SP32408 ROM i downloaded from HP)

Will the "Without SRS" pack work with 2790 and 2490? Thanks.

A

[davonz]

Hi amaurynieto, i have installed tommy's rom on my hx2790b, which has the finger print reader, and it works well... but i had to put it into PB mode to get it to flash (press contact and itask, and reset), the screen went white and then it flashed the new rom.. If you dont do this it comes up with Signature Mismatch or similar error.. i flashed a few weeks ago now so cant remember the error messge..

[tommy_adsl]

(sorry, I meant to say that the hx2000 series is supported by the SP32408 ROM i downloaded from HP)

Will the "Without SRS" pack work with 2790 and 2490? Thanks.

Yes, it will .... But if you want version without fingerprint reader support use my kitchen first.
Note: I have 2790b too :)

[likeme]

How add ramdisk to this ROM?

[liuroot]

HEy TOMMY, thanks very fuckin much for all you work to help us, i just brought a hx2410 brand new and im going to flash it today, just downloading it,
i have just a few newbie questions, hpRUU.exe is a hp active sync related software? or do i have to download it?
what is the kitchen version?
thanx about you time.

PS: MY PDA DONT HAVE FINGERPRINT reader, it will work so on?
Sorry about my brazilian english!

MY INFO:
ROM DATE: 06/10/05
ROM Revision: 1.10.09 ENG
OS Version: Windows CE 4.21
Bootstrap Version: 1.00.04
Bootloader Version: 1.10.09
XIP Version: 4.21.15045.0

[liuroot]

so guys, im trying to but, when i got to the pre-bl 1.00.04 screen, i pressa the calendar, but, when i conect to usb, my computer cant recognize it, and the active sync do connect so,
and what do you think i have to do? some issue with windows drivers?
in the standard way, the active sync connect with no problem!

[liuroot]

so guys i did it, and occured the same problem of this fellow...
it is hanging on the end of the loading bar, ate the PS Formating...

i`ve got the same problem. I can get into preBL i can flash with any rom but when it starts it hangs at the end of the load bar.
I tried clean reset hard reset all reset i know, i also try to use bootloader.exe but i can`t connect with my device.

darka

And i did this way exactly:

Take you pda to PreBL mode then press callendar
Connect to cradle
run hpRUU
update the rom and wait for complete updating as long as it's possible
click on OK
unplug pda
do PS Format (you will see PS Format info on pda)
wait for welcome screen as long as it's possible


HOPE FOR SOME HELP!

[liuroot]

[liuroot]

45 min and nothing!

[amaurynieto]

Ditto on the guy who said thanks very fucking much. (Long time since I saw a comment so bluntly yet correctly put!) - Anyway, I didn't totally get the part about where you said "if you want the version without fingerprint support you need to use my kitchen first".

I will be flashing two devices:

2490b, (almost identical to 2790, only it does not have a fingerprint reader, nor does it have a 624 mhz processor). I assume I can flash the "Without SRS" rom and it will work just fine.

2790, Just flash as listed before, and everything will work out of the box? (including fingerprint reader?) or will I have to tweak it so it will work.

And conversely, should I downgrade to the sp**408 link from HP, will things work out of the box turning back from 6.1?

I'm very eager to get my hands on the 2790 (Ebay'd it), I want to try out 6.1 - I wish there were someplace I could look at screenshots.

Thanks again, buddy. Very Fuckin much. hahaha

@liuroot

Are you using XP on Vista on your main PC (NOT PPC).
Also you may want to search the board....lot's of information about your problem.


@amaurynieto

I have 2490B and was able to use few ROM's including Tommy's and had no problem. Didn't need to do any downgrades at all...just go to white screen and that's it.

If you don't have finger print reader that's OK, my 2490B come with the finger print reader drivers preloaded from HP and I don't have it so there is no harm.

What Tommy is referring to by 'use my kitchen' is that you can disable the driver from putting in the ROM (you can do that as well but i don't see the point) and create your 'own' ROM with some of the stuff removed that you don't need.

As for the ROM with OUT SRS...SRS is some sort of driver for sound.
Tommy created one with out it cause someone requested it.


As for the 'bad' words, for some people who's english is a second language (including me) may not be the best way of saying Thank you.

Again, believe it or not? If hx2410/hx2110, maybe hx2415 too, is already running in wm6.0 or wm6.1, it can be flashed among any wm6.0/6.1 roms without starting from the 1.00.00L step.

Of course the roms must be for "hx2000" series.

So you may test/try any version: tommy_adsl's, samz's, PDAVIET's, or roms cooked by yourself.

Lots of fun.:)

[taavisepp]

You might want to use the image found in "Wm5.0 for hx2750_1.00.00.L_ENG" folder instead of "Wm5.0 for hx2000_1.00.00.L_ENG", although the latter one should be universal. And again, folow all the steps described times and times again. What is your current image? WM5 something? You might want to downgrade first and then go step-by-step to WM6.1.

Has someone problems with tomtom 6.032?
In my 2750 dont work the bluetooth when i have installed the tomtom.

Is possible to correct this problem?

thanks

To fix the TOMTOM issue you need to delete the Bluetooth Files the TOMTOM installation installs that replaces the builtin files.


Dates are 16-07-07 on the files Tomtom files.
Delete the two files:
BTCoreIf.dll
BtSdkCE30.dll

Soft Reset (windows will re-install the ones that come with windows)

Tomtom will still work and windows will go back to normal.

The issue also affected my ability to change the sound volume, it would change and go back to no sound.

Hope this helped.

[economan]

Thanks Viperv10,

It has worked otherwise, i could not erase the files because was in use, i stopped the process BTTrayCE.exe to be able to erase the files, but after softreset the bluetooth works again without need to erase nothing. :eek:

[cmimic]

I found the infrared was not working as well, I was unable to beam a business card from my mobile phone to my hx2190 running Tommys WM6.1. I compared the registry values with my hx2795 running PDAViets WM6.0 and changed a few values to match. Nothing happened until I did a reset. Now, using IRDA, the 2190 accepts the business card from the phone, it can send and receive files beamed from File Explorer and it will Activesync to my laptop (Which my 2795 with WM6.0 won't do!).
Try altering HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\IrDA\DevAddr to 3431 hex (13361 decimal) then reset your device and try beaming a file.

For one Year I have route (in file) which I use for comparing...

[kaosnews]

Sorry, my mistake :)
I will make a fix ...

Tommy

Are you going to post a complete new rom of just a bugfix for the latest rom ... If it's a fix I can install my programs now. :)

It is with SRS.

[Lutek II]

It is with SRS.

Why in every ROMs with SRS level of audio isn't set on max (inside of ROM)...?
It make many problems if PDA is using for GPS software where there are voice commands....

[bigu1975]

I'd not tried Yurrix Rom.
How is it compared to Tommy's?:confused:

Today I have tried Yurrix ROM on my hx2490b.
I was using it only 30min and I made quick decision to go back to Tommy's ROM (this time to the last updated). The following reasons made my decision:

1. The system sometimes was unstable. Few times I had to make soft reset.
2. Strange problem with CF card - sometimes after putting it to iPAQ, device was showing strange message about unknown driver and asked about proper driver name. After choosing OK or CANCEL the card wasn't recognize and I needed put it out and put it back.
3. Strange problem with LEDs - it happens they both starting to blinking and suddenly they stopping to blinking :confused: I didn't find the reason.
4. TCPMP benchmark results: on Tommy's ROM: 370%, on Yurrix' ROM 317%
5. Minor Problem: Free RAM (after reset): Tommy's ROM ~35.82MB, Yurrix ROM max 33MB
6. Minor problem: lack of my favorite IPAQ Wireless application. :)

Lutek,

Additional question About AutoMapa.
You mentioned that WM6.1 is slower about 30% then WM6.0 in aspect of trace calculation (you gave example with 2kkm distance).
What with the overall performance of AM5x? My AM5x's animation (refresh rate) is terrible slow during navigation (3D buildings) - do you know if it is the same on WM6.0 (better or worse)?

Tommy I am sorry for small OT but I think it is still about you great ROM :)

Thank you in advance.

I have a new version od AM 5.0.9 (build 568). This verion isn't publicated yet... simply I guessed link where they store it :).
In My opinion this version works quit well...
Using route's file "test kalkulacji" from pdaclub.pl , time of calculation take :
- WM 6.0 5.20.00H Eng approx 32 sec
-WM 6.1 (Yurrix) opprox 47sec
-WM 6.1 Tommy's 35-43 sec (I don' know why it changes...)

Hello, sorry to be a pain, I've read and reread this thread and the other one plenty of times and I can't seem to get this working on my PDA, now I am worried that if I keep trying and failing the battery will die and I'll be screwed. I have the Ipaq HX2110, It came with WM03SE, I then upgraded it to WM5, I then discovered WM6, First I couldn't do anything atall (I would get Sync errors) I then realised it was because I was using Vista, I onw have a VMWare installation of XP, this is allowing me to update the roms. However, when I install the 6.1 rom update, it installs, then it takes ages for the blue bar to come across the screen, then it just hangs at the very end, I can't understand what's going wrong, any help would be appreciated.

Sorry about the essay.

Edit: I really need to read better! I was pressing the wrong damn button. Sorry.

[riccardo_j]

Hi there,
first of all: thank you tommy for the grat job you are doin' here and for sharing it with us all.
i've upgraded my hx2790 to wm6.1 (rom with srs wow),almost everything works great, i've got some little issues that i can easily ignore (ms wireless manager sometimes works, sometimes not; sync mail with live messenger doesnt work, and often using fingerprint for security on power-on i've got an error message telling that i've got to reset my device for fix some problems :confused:). these problems for me are not important neither rilevant, but i hope that these informations can be useful to you for your next recipe ;)
but i've got a big problem, very annoyng: the writing\reading speed over any SD it's extremely slow..
this happens only if i move files using the native explorer, if i use programs like resco explorer everything it's ok and this can be a good workaround..but, it "impossible" to sync files using activesync (i've to use a card reader instead, another workaround) and it's impossible to download any files from internet using IE or Opera (3,12MB takes 12min circa if saved on sd, and a handful os seconds if saved on internal memory)
using tomtom it takes a lot to find the city\address i type because the reading issue; "encryption" options it's constalntly checked and impossible to uncheck: could be this the reason for the slow r\w problem over storage cards?

any idea?
thanks to all in advance :)

thank you guys..

Tried Tommy's first ROM and it was the same - it seems that power (speed) of OS WM6.1 is worse then WM 6.0....:(

Lutek, I agree with you.
For someone who looks for stability and speed, I suggest to use Misar's wm6.0 especially for hx27xx users.

[kaosnews]

Lutek, I agree with you.

Where can I find this Misar's rom?

Did you test the speed of this rom and tommy's - or does it feel faster?

[hkksl]

Lutek, I agree with you.
For someone who looks for stability and speed, I suggest to use Misar's wm6.0 especially for hx27xx users.

Does this Misar's wm6.0 support A2DP and SDHC card??

For hx2110/hx2410, what'll be approx. free rom storage space with wm6.0??
Tommy's wm6.1 has 12.20MB free storage.

Actually, what are the improvments of wm6.1 than the wm6.0??

If wm6.0 works better, I'll consider to try it for my hx2110!!
:confused:

[TheGazR]

Well! That seems to do have done the trick! Thanks ever so much! I tell you, the £40 I spent on Ebay buying my Ipaq has been very pleasing, the speed increase between WM5 to WM6 is ammense, runs better, and smother. Just like to say thanks to everyone really! What a great community you have here, and I would like to be a part of it. I'm pretty competant when it comes to computers, so I can always lend a hand.

Personal thanks to Sir. Tommy_ADSL.

Not many people would do all the stuff you do for free, and it sure as hell restores your faith in humanity seeing someone do that, so thanks :D

I tried Misar's wm6.0 rom on a 2490b - but I didn't find it faster/slower then Tommy's rom.

So back to Tommy's WM6.1 for me! :)

[kaosnews]

No SDHC support on Misar's rom. With Tommy's rom SDHC is not a problem! :)

Only difference for the normal PDA with no phone is the better PIE (zoom function). If you use a PDA with phone then you also have the threaded SMS.
There are also some speed improvements with WM6.1.

Ok - I may have spoke too soon about this whole thing...

I pressed the reset button on the bottom of my iPaq and it went into overdrive. about a third of the way into the blue loading bar my screen dimmed and it froze. I have tried several things (Including the method which I got it working on) and nothing seems to have worked. I can still get to the Pre-BL thing, but no roms seem to work, I need some help again. Sorry for being so incompatant :O

Normally pressing the RESET button is only a Soft-reset, which is a frequent practice. In your case, probably the battery power was too weak.
Try.....
Take out the battery for few minutes, put it back and the cover. Connect to AC adapter, then RESET again, or enter Pre-BL.... "USB" mode to proceed ROM flash.

Hi,
in the "New version (1.5.2008)" are only two bugs (the charging problem via USB [after charging you need to on/off you pda to update status bar] and encryption problem). I'm using this rom aprox. two weeks and I didn't found other bugs. It seems to be stable ... :)

Try to do clean reset first and then hard reset. It will help you ...

[gonnacrazy]

thx your reply, Tommy
Crashing may cause by some old version application,I'll remind on this
And a more question, I'm using WPA encryption on wifi,but the iPAQ disable the network key input box in setting, making the device can't join the network.
So, how 2 make it fill in the key? thx

[Robert_D]

Found another bug in the 1.5.2008 version. I flashed and reset as stated in post #1. hx2495b, ENG settings. The date format displays as d/M/yy, even though my regional settings were M/d/yy. If I switch to something else and back to M/d/yy, it displays correctly.

I also get frequent times where internet apps lockup (Opera, IE, ActiveSync). Checking the iPAQ Wireless tool, it says 'Driver not loaded'. Pushing the reset button seems to be the only fix.

I don't have this problem on my 2495b. It connects very fast.
I also run Opera, Netfront and they never lockup...

I find it strange that some people experience different problems on the same pda. Maybe (don't know...) it's because the different versions of the same PDA? WM2003 version or WM5 version??

I am trying to upgrade my Ipaq and I am already having some problems. First I have put my IPAQ in Pre-BL mode. My screen says Pre-BL 1.00.04 and when I put the Ipaq on the craddle, it says USB connected. I then hitted the calendar botton and the IPAQ said USB. however the PC says USB device unknown (not installed) and activesync does nothing. HPRUU does not see the IPAQ. If I reboot the IPAQ, it says 1.00.00 H FRA.

I then tried a soft reset and connected the IPAQ to the craddle. This time activesync started and HPRUU detected my IPAQ OK but listed my current language as unknown and refused to proceed with the upgrade.

I am stuck....

Any suggestions?

Varso

PS. My IPAQ is a HX2790 running WM5 french. My PC runs XP SP2 with Activesync 4.5
BTW I do not desperately need WM6.1. I just want 4GB SDHC support. If I can get that with WM5, I would be happy.

I made it from Korean WM2003 to English WM5.
It is, however, 1.00.01H.

I CAN'T MAKE IT TO 1.00.00H

In normal boot load situation, (pushing 2+3+reset & 1 button)
SP32408 won't work, with error message. (attached)

KOR-hx2000_WM5_Upgrade

If any ROM will work, change nbf file with SP32408's,
but any ROM won't work.

Are there any solution to usw your ROM, WM6.1 ?

Hi, it's not 2+3+reset & 1 button, but 2+4+reset & 1 button.

[tommy_adsl]

i use WEP encryption and network work fine


but other peoples ask, how to get Domain enrol to work?

the domain enrollment feature is usable only if you have Microsoft System Center for Mobile Device Manager 2008

[tgyi]

Anyway I got to the 1.00.00L.

<I> In the other article, however, the ROM-up should be 1.00.00.L -> 1.00.00.H -> WM6 in order.

<II> So I use the SP32408 ROM for make my device 1.00.00.H, but i failed.
1) Normal Boot loader Mode (contacts + mail + reset -let go and press calendar to activate)
2) Run SP32408.
3) Error message is displayed, it says "incorrect SKU device."

<III> If above 3) successful, I make it into White Screen Boot loader Mode (contacts + itask + reset -let go and press calendar to activate) just like your advice.

<IV> And then the final stage, i replace the ROM file with your new ROM.

Are there any mistake in my sequences, from <I> to <IV>.

I am looking forward to hearing of your advice.

Hi,
Many people faced similar upgrade problems with hx2110/hx2115/hx2410/hx2415, (64MB ROM) from WM2003se to WM6.0/6.1

In short, even in your step "<II> 2)", you have to (I don't know why) run "hpruu.exe" in the "1.00.00.L" folder, then swap to the .nbf of sp32408, before hitting the "update". Proceed to wm6.0/wm6.1 in same principle.

Be sure in Pre-BL..."USB" mode to start Flash.

Fore more details, please see post #353.

It proved that's the way to success, at least for several times with my hx2110.

Good Luck!
:p

[divad_]

Hi,

I have succesfully installed WM6.1 in my hx2190 ... congratulations for this great job.
All is ok, but I have a little problem with the Internet Explorer. When I make "back" the application closes itself. It's not a problem relationated with another application installed, because it happens since I update to wm6.1, with nothing else installed.
Any idea?

Thank you for your replays, and sorry for the mistakes with my english.

1. I made a back-up file with SPB back-up.
It shows an error message.

[chesco86]

I got a HP hX2410

thanks!

[BURNEE]

Hey Tommy, what exactly did you change/fix in the latest versions? I couldn't find a release log or anything(and I'm sorry if there is).

I have what I believe to be the first version of the rom with SRS(02/08/08), so is there any major reason to flash it again? Sure I found bugs, but nothing I can't live with(mainly the nasty problem with "driver not loaded", because of the second Wireless Manager, oh yes and not being able to tell if the encryption on my SD card is turned on(which seems to be(thought it can't be), but still everything can be read on a desktop computer (thank heavens!!! :) ))).

I read that there were problems with WPA encrypted networks(possibly around the 35th page), are there really? Haven't had the chance to try it out yet, but WEP work okay.

So at the end, is there a good reason for me to install all my cr*p(sorry) all over again with the new rom? I really hate clean reseting my iPAQ :o .

Okay, thanks for the answer in advance.

chesco86 try to make a clean reset, sometimes it doesn't start up after flashing the device with a new rom, especially with WM6.1.

Me too. :)

Your test the latest versions of Sprite Backup (I use the 6.2.2, b2280). This has the option to restore a backup after updating the ROM. And it works!!! :eek:. It's really fantastic. It saved me a lot of hours ...

Greetings

[tsoglanos]

Tommy I am using the previous version of you cooked ROM not the latest. Actually I believe its the latest you made without SRS. But I noticed this, that I am saying with WiFi. So... I believe... it would be nice for the other software to co-exist. Now as all of us know different devices, even if they are the sam model, can produce different issues. In my case I noticed that I could overcome the problem at about 95% of the times that I had problem with my Wifi (which weren't so many, there should be about 6-8 time in about lets say from when you cooked the specific ROM--more than 1-2 months).

PS. Sorry for my delay to answer.. I am very busy with my work at this period of time and I rarely check the forum!

[chesco86]

Tommy how can I make to learn how to use Tommy's Kitchen? Do you have a tutorial or any archive to do it because i want a version without:
- BtPhoneManager
- CongentBioTools
- Windows media
- ofice mobile
:p:p
My pocket pc it only has 64MB to save programs, after windows mobile 6 instalation just 9MB aviable:(
Thanks you did an amazing job! :D
Sorry for my english

[shenlong85]

Read carefully update steps. You didn't use PreBL mode ...

[tester2]

at first big thanks for this ROM.

my little notes about upgrading hx2410 ipaq to WM6.1:
1. after final upgrade (as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372799 ) to WM6.1 I have few issues like: no adding appointments, no adding tasks, some errors, and missing files.
2. I struggle whole day and night to perform a Hard Reset (HR) on this device. all docs in internet stated that HR on hx2410 is done via pressing calendar+itask and reset switch for few seconds - but always this only resets clock and do soft reset.

So finally I have found a way to do Hard Reset on 2410:

press CALENDAR+MESSAGING+POWER and press and hold RESET for about 2-4 secs
and then release RESET, but still HOLD remaining keys.
screen with "Formatting PS..." text should be displayed.

After this HR all appointments and tasks issues gone. :]

ps
and one more note - I try to make pim, contacts and emails backup by lastest SPB Backup 1.6.3 on older WM5 OS and restore it on new upgraded WM6.1 - unfortunately without success. After restore Appointments database was corrupted, Contacts application don't run anymore, and E-Mails aren't restored too.
as stated here: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/cms/node/6151 "Sprite Backup supports "intelligent" restores across ROM updates".
Anyway SPB Backup doesn't support restoring pim data across ROM updates. :(

Thanks again and good luck :-)

I'm using newest ROM (1-5-08) from Tommy. Everything runs great. But every time i want to make a new document with Word Mobile, it gives me error message : "An error occured. The document could not be opened." After i click OK, the word will close automatically. There's no problem with other Office Mobile (Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote).

Is this a bug?

Thank you very much for this great ROM and cool forum.. :)

Cheers.

looks like problem with template in My_Documents/Templates. maybe you overwrite this with older one upon restoring MY Cocuments folder?
try temporary rename Templates folder and check.

on mine ppc with same rom word can create new document without any problems.

have you Hard Reset the PDA after Upgrading the ROM?

[boncusman]

Thank you tester2 and sliders7. I've solved the problem. Yup, you're right tester2, there's problem with Templates folder at my document. I've deleted that folder accidentally. And the solution is pretty simple : i made a new blank Templates folder, and voiiilaa.. Word Mobile new document function back again without any prob.

Thanks all.. :D

Has anyone tried the foldable keyboard ( FA118A ) with a hx2000 device after the upgrade to wm6.1?

If so, does it work without the driver or does the driver for WM5 work OK?

This is the physically connected folding keyboard, not the bluetooth one.

[rowley birkin qc]

@ aspheric:

Foldable Keyboard works under WM 6.1.
I installed the driver 2.0.0.8 for the keyboard.
Guess that's the WM5 driver.
Works great on my HX2790. :)

[dadopap]

Hi
I'm new in this forum. I bought an ipaq214 2 months ago. Today it got freezed (i don't know why) I think I'll have to do an hard reset. So I thought would be great to upgrade the operating system to a new version. Now I've WM6 classic. I've never done this before so I don't know which ROM is good for my palm and which not and I don't know how to do it (I went through some wizards but they were related to hx2000 series).
Can someone help me or at least give me some link that can explain me things?

Thanks

Dadopap

[abbaml]

Tommy, you should write step by step clearly on how to make a customed ROM for hx2000 series.

Thus everyone can try based on their preferences and share the problems, experiences with others. In this manner, we will get more advanced users to improve the hx2000 community.

Hi,
I don't have this problem. My explorer remember all settings.
However, change registry from
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"ZoomSetting"=dword:00000002
to
"ZoomSetting"=dword:00000000
