614c question about firmware version

[bigu1975]

Hi,

In my 614c my ROM revision reported by HP asset viewer is MP-1.00.01.
I have already upgraded my OS to WM 6.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379384,
ROM downloaded from 4PDA: http://66.102.9.104/translate_c?hl=pl&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php%3Fs%3D98f2a003173b3379dcd0f979cf0cc7a5%2 6showtopic%3D79455%26st%3D90&usg=ALkJrhjna6KUn3dU3EtDoWAzbxW_k8VJrQ)
and I have still version MP-1.00.01 reported by HP asset viewer.

My questions are:
1. What does it exactly mean ROM revision?
2. Why the ROM upgrade to 6.1 didn't changed it?
3. I think that the ROM revision may means firmware version - if it is true is there a chance to upgrade it?
As I can see people reports that they have MP-1.00.03 or even MP-1.00.05

Many thanks in advance.

I'm intersted too if somebody can explain?

Now I have os - 1.01.04 and fw 0.88 and if I Upgrade to wm6.1 will it downgrade in os or?
Asking because i installed before 6.1 and it said os version 1.00.1 but now i have updated it from HP site and rolled back and now maybe I will try again new version of wm6.1

thanks

anybody? knows?

After you will flash into WM 6.1 v1.4 you will see 1.00.03 :eek:

For me it looks that this version represents just OS version. HP is providing right version (newest one is 1.01.04) but the WM6.1 ROM cooker just used 1.00.03 version. I don't know if it is mistake or rather the trick/hack which should allow to make any official upgrades from HP (there shouldn't be version conflict during such upgrade).

the versions of fw and os displayed during boot are test fields from the bootloader ... no use to change them ... and thez dont reflect what actually on the device!!!!!!

Saxxon,

I can see here that you know what you are writing about. I am also trying to understand this but I am not able :confused:. I would be grateful if you could be more precision and if you can describe it in more words...

You wrote OS and FW versions are only bootloader test fields. I thought that to be able to change something in bootloader we have to flash them. During flashing new WM6.1 we are flashing only OS not bootloader but those number are changing...
Also HPassetviewer is reporting the same version as during machine boot...

Thank you in advance...
