[Q] iPAQ Data Messenger - Anyone working on a WM6.5 ROM

[alandashby]

There is not many comments about the newer iPAQ Data Messenger - anyone have one around here?

Anyone working on a WM6.5 ROM?

[bige_53]

That would be interesting - I'd be willing to try it. How do the specs on the unit compare to the 610/910? I just picked up one of these...

iPAQ's I've been playing with 6515, 615c, 910, 210, Data Messenger

[Josasp]

Yeah, a 6.5 rom would be great for the data messenger!

However i havent gotten mine yet but ill sure try and help out when i can.

[DE_GREAT]

I agree..... I would love to get me hands on it. Is anyone working on this right now? (for the Data Messenger)

[Josasp]

I sold my Data Messenger in favour for a 914c, found tha data messengar to have way to many flaws for my taste.

[DE_GREAT]

Is no one working on this?

Is the Data Messenger a HTC product?

[hcv440]

A WM 6.5 Rom for my data messenger would be great. The Wm 6.1 user interface sucks!
Does anybody have a good description for building my own WM 6.5 Rom?

[keyx]

you guys need to at least figure whether you can enter boot loader by trying different combination with the hardware buttons

[dirkuijt]

Hey, I got one too (as do my colleagues, working at an IT firm) on 6.1 pro...

Not the best phone I have, so a 6.5 upgrade would be sweet!

[neogx1]

Hey all,
Has anyone been able to enter the bootloader yet?
i have tried several combinations without any luck so far.

[DE_GREAT]

I have tried, but I can't seem to find the Bootloader mode. Any Ideas?

[BERSANZİ]

Hi All ,

Have you figure out how to enter Bootloader mode.U think that impossible.Which will it be nonsense.It must have bootloader mode.

Any news


Hp Data Messenger

iGO8...
if you wish to load this navi program
you must add on the sys.txt the following....

[rawdisplay]
highres=0
autoconfig=1
driver="GDI"

always the resolution is 320x240:)

I've tagged a couple other threads dealing with the ipaq data messenger (sly) too...really interested to see if anyone has toyed around with cooking a 6.5 rom with the latest builds for this device. like i said on one of the other forums..the trick is finding more than us who actually bought one of these...

just trying to keep this thread alive in hopes of a chef out there with this device

[CyberKing2k9]

I a looking for a 6.5 rom for the HP iPAQ Data Messenger :(

[DE_GREAT]

I will test or try any recommendations. I would love to see progress for the Data Messenger.

[cgoulas]

Please guys, I own a 614c and 6.5 is great from keyx. I just bought a Data Messenger and need windows mobile 6.5 on it as well

[dj_teb]

Would really love 6.5 on my Hp Ipaq Data Messenger.

I actualy feel ripped of when I upgraded my phone from HTC Touch to Data Messenger :(

Very well, Would love to buy a beer to the person who wanna cook 6.5 to Data Messenger :)

[nininikos]

hi guys, i have a data messenger too.

regards

I would love to do that, but unfortunately I'm the noob here, have no idea how to cook :( I'm the one here who just love everyone's work

[jaleachjr]

I have tried, but I can't seem to find the Bootloader mode. Any Ideas?

The Data Messenger used hex, not DIO, so it won't work the same.

[DE_GREAT]

Is anyone working on this ?

[DE_GREAT]

If you turn the device fully off (take out battery ..)and then press&hold key num 8 and power at the same time it will show usb composite in the screen. If you do not do anything after a few seconds it will boot normal. This must be how to enter the Boot Mode. Any Ideas?

Hi,
This is really interesting.

Hi, I really don't give up, is there any chefs here that are even thinking about cooking a rom, yeah, I know that I'm writing like I'm requires this but that's not a fact, I'm actualy starting to get desperate :D

If there are any chefs that are cooking are want or may cook I and the 3 other Ipaq Data Messenger owners in the world would really been grateful.

And one thing I actualy wondering about, is Ipaq Data Messenger a "shitty" phone since no one bought it, cause I can't really find anything wrong about the device it's self.

The phone is great indeed, but I have a few minor complaints:
- Side that the keyboard slides out: It should slide the other way.
- Location of stylus: Although I don't use it often, it's position is annoying.
- Resolution: I'm fine with 320x240, but something bigger would be nice.
- Keyboard: My v button is no longer as responsive as it used to be and it's only 1 week old :(

Next to that awesome phone.

i've contacted hp support and they don't know a thing about wm 6.5 for Data Messenger :/ Not even if it is going to be released. I've been searching google for the rom for the last week with no success.
It's a shame, cause I really liked my ipaq dm:/

[keanureeves]

i want windows mobile 6.5 rom for hp ipaq data messenger. hp technical service is bad. never hp pda!

[bearcat77070]

Somebody do me a favor? On a production data messenger, pull the battery, replace, hold in the camera button and then the red power button, tell me if you get anything different on boot. Also, at least on pre-prods, both phone buttons held down gives a clean boot - I've only got pre-prods, anyone with production model want to give that a try?

Also, I have connections to a few developers where I might be able to get the bits needed to roll a 6.5, but while I'm a software guy, I'm not a Windows mobile guy. I can probably get all the tools to build easily enough as well, anyone experienced with WM interested in doing some hand-holding walking me through building a 6.5 image if I can get the bits needed?

[cathars1s]

I have followed these instructions with an out-of-the-box Data Messenger.

The key combination posted brings up a HP screen with 1.00.05.00-751-WWE written at the bottom.

This moves onwards to the Windows Mobile 6.1 'splash screen' but does NOT seem to execute a hard reset.

[cathars1s]

I mis-spoke earlier - this is of couse executing a 'hard-reset' - but rather is not executing a 'factory re-set'.

i.e. user settings on the device are not wiped.

Kind regards

[cathars1s]

There are a number of ways to get a 'clean boot' on the HP Data Messenger.

1. - while using the device, goto 'settings-system-factory restore' - which willcause a 'clean boot'

2. holding down the 'green', 'camera' and 'power/red buttons (after removing/re-inserting the battery brings up the same 'clean boot' screen.

I hope this may be of some use.... I would be very interested in getting my hands on a cooked 6.5 ROM, and if there is any way in which I can help please feel free to ask.

Kind regards

There is not many comments about the newer iPAQ Data Messenger - anyone have one around here?
