[Q] HP iPAQ Data Messenger

[Kittybahamut]

Hi, Sorry if ive missed something, but i have looked on here and google, my friend has a HP iPAQ Data Messenger, and i was wondering if they are any custom roms for it? or if theirs another name it goes by since i cant see it anywhere on here?

Thank you in Advance.

Nope no roms, i just sold my Data Mess because of that.
It is a way too new device so there are no devs using it. Especially since it is way too overpriced.

But unless you/he is in desperate need of 6.5 i sugest you install Manilla and some apps to make the best of it. Hopefulle HP will release 6.5 eventually but no guarantees.

I loaded new rom from hp support.
pda is better...but it needs more....:confused:

would be really great if someone were to cook a 6.5 for this phone. problem is finding someone other than us who bought one...ha!

[DE_GREAT]

bump...... Somebody as to be working on this.

Totaly agree with you, someone has to be cooking something, cause the Data Messenger is quite a good phone.

I actually just bought a brand new unlocked iPAQ Data Messenger yesterday for 200 euro.

Right now I'm busy changing the Win 6.1 UI so it's more finger friendly. But WinMo 6.5 itself would be killer.

[dj_teb]

Well, I have done the same, I have installed HTC Home plugin + LG Today Plugin (just search the forum and you will find it)

That's the best and most stable result I have got to get my Data Messenger finger friendly.



But I agree with you, WM6.5 would be a killer. :)


But when I see that is me and a few others that are using this phone I really thinking about to sell this phone.

Did anyone tried installing SPB?

I'd cook it my damn self if I just knew how. I've used to had P2K Motorola's that I used to mod and flash the hell out. I just have no idea how to cook a WinMobile ROM else I'd use my own Data Messenger as a test machine.

iPAQ Data Messenger ROM is encrypted, so there is no way to make a custom ROM yet.

Maybe someone will ever make a tool to decrypt / encrypt the ROM.

You're reffering to the OS-1.00.05.00-751-WWE.nbf ROM?

Ok and so.. How come the Voice Messenger has been decrypted and the Data Messenger has been not? Are they THAT different?

Yes, ROMs are different.

It's easy get XIP and IMGFS parts from Voice Messenger ROM, but it's impossible with Data Messenger.

Short ROM HEX example.

Data Messenger ROM is somehow encrypted

[doep007]

does that work?

No, that does does not work. And NEVER try to do something like that.

ROMs are device specific.

Why not available in hp ipaq data messenger for windows mobile 6.5 rom?

[amer.ico]

Do you know if there is any problem upgrading a data massenger with an official hp rom in a language different from the original one?
Eg I buy a data messenger in english and then I upgrade the device with an official hp rom in italian.
Thanks
