hx4700 - help me PLEASE !

[EdJessops]

Dear Friends,

I was flashing ROM to my hx4700 (upgrade from the first version of MW 5 to the second official version) when due to power failure my computer switched off and the connection with HP was lost. It was exactly on 62% and now I have a BIG problem..

When I am trying to flash the update again, it says "Incorrect Language. Update cannot continue". It shows ROM version as 4.xx and language as "unknown" (upgrade is for version 2.01.05).

When I try the previous version it shows model: unknown, ROM: unknown, and language: English. Update to version 2.00.39. The update starts.. from 0.1% to 1% (each 0.1% in abt. 15 sec) but then stops.. It shows Error 606 - timeout.

What can I do?? Can I try flash a new ROM from SD card? And if yes, how to do it??

HELP ME PLEASE !!

No Problem. Your 4700 will be fine. Go to http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=246529 and download the bootloader from Chrismrulz (click on his signature). Use it to flash any ROM you like. This bootloader works like a charm.

Sanjay, you are GREAT !!:))

Many many thanks:)) Only 5 hours ago I was devastated, now I am happy - everything is working again:)) I deserved a bottle of bear - pls let me know if you are ever in London or Vancouver, ok?

I am going to offer my thanks to Chris Mrulz as well. You are absolutely right - the bootloader works like a charm:))

The last question - I upgraded it now to version SL6V3. Should I upgrade to CEOS_new?

Kind Regards,

Edward

Glad to hear your 4700 is alive. As for newer ROMs, all of the WM6.1 you see in this forum on the 4700s is based on ports from other devices. There has been no significant update and frankly, not likely to be. For me at least, later versions do not offer functional benefits that I can use. IMHO, functionality is more important than gaining the last nano-second of speed. I have not been able to improve on the basic SL61V3, and will leave it alone for now. It works well enough although I personally prefer the Lite version without IE and WMP.

My advice would be to try various ROMs to see which ones work best for you. I'm sure you will find one that suits.

Sanjay
