Download this files to your PC: SP38066 (ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38001-38500/sp38066.exe), ROMUpdate.zip (http://uploading.com/files/48P8S437/ROMUpdate.zip.html), HP514-V1RCL.7z (http://uploading.com/files/NYH4EECY/HP514-V1RC1L.7z.html)(or Mirror 1 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=00DYL7M2))
Charge 100% your battery
Start SP38066.exe, continue until you see some files being extracted then when the HPRUU begins, cancel it.
Go to C/iPAQ/sp38066/ then extract there the contents of Test01.rar, it should replace some files there.
Start HPRUU.exe
Follow the process to install RUssian ROM
After sucessfull ROM upgrade, Extract the files of HP514V1RCL to the same directory, then replace the old .nbf file. Or erase the old one .nbf
Turn off your cellphone, then press left, down on the keypad while pressing the RED key to turn it on in bootloader mode.
Connect to the PC,Run HPRUU.exe again, it should install WM6.1 Lite version
It stops at 44%, make hardreset, if it cannot boot after reboot, you miss a step or something...
Add-ons:
CHome Update: Changes the default homescreen to fit the size of the screen, adds the wm6.1 boot image, and some little fixes, just run the .cab after installing WM6. HERE (http://uploading.com/files/MV7ZA7E5/LM WM6.1 Update.cab.html) is the link.
Chome Config Program: Utility to configurate the CHome homescreen, you can add or remove tabs, etc. Just unzip and run it.Here (http://uploading.com/files/B6JOV789/CHome Config.zip.html)
Contact Info/Buy full version
The full Wm6.1 ROM costs $10 and features bluetooth as the difference. You can download the ROM for free, but it will not boot up until you buy a key(that is device-specific). It must be paid through Yandex Money(a russian money system) that is very strange and nobody has a account there. lol There isn't great advantages from this ROM, and i hope the devs release it for free a new version, or the tools they used to create it.(our ipaqs are very old! they should give us a free ROM!)
