Recover your iPAQ 91x with HP's ROM Update Tool on Windows XP/Vista/7
Hi guys,
I have just bricked my iPAQ 914c while mistakenly installing Manila BETA 0.5c whis is for 614c.
Here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459123) is another thread about recovering but since I am on Windows 7, my system gave BSOD while trying this method.
P.S. Driver files were 10 years old, from 1999 :)
Forget it....
Her is the new and if you ask me, the perfect, easy and the secure way:
1- Download the latest official ROM from HP:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp43001-43500/sp43434.exe New ROM!
2- Don't install it, extract is using WinRAR, 7Zip..
3- Inside the sp43434 folder you will find a file called "hpRUU.exe". Right click>Properties>Compatiblity Mode>Windows XP SP3>Apply>OK, again Right click "Run as Administrator"
4- Accept the agreement and click "Next", the software will look for iPAQ 914c state....
5- Connect the USB Cable (Device is turned off)
6- Now press Volume UP (Left side) + OK (Right Side) + Power Button
7- Device will Boot up in RUU Mode since it is connected to PC via USB Cable. During boot up while hpRUU.exe is looking for device stage, it will find your device and ask you to update.
8- Press "Update" and the process will begin. After flashing all the parts, which takes about 5-10 Minutes, your device will be up and working...
Note: Somehow if the update process gives the Code 402 USB connection error, close the hpRUU.exe and then open the "Configure.ini" file. Inside that file edit the TIMEOUT value to "1000". After that start the procedure form the beginning.
The rest is up to you :)
That's it. Thank you for reading.
Special thanks to sergious for creating Manila BETA 0.5c ROM for 614c. Without his ROM I couldn't brick my 914c and you were not going to get this tut.
