Addition Of Compact Flash to Full ROM

As suggested as before hand addition on CF2 SP2 to the full ROM would be a great and worthy venture which im sure many of us would appreciate.

Ok will try the wisbar thanks u ^^;
Yeah its strange maybe my device really malfunction

No, it is not only your malfunction. My iPAQ also have this "feature" and another, mentioned both by psyCORe - "USB to PC" missing icon ;) (you can find it in Settings/Connections). Something is meessed up.
Using WisBar is a half solution. Better way is to fix this problem. Kozhura, shoot to you :)

Hi Kozhura, after read Wiki - Russian 4pda (with Google Translator ... not so easy !) - PXPDA - and many others i made my first "Cooked ROM". :D

But I have questions that you can maybe help me. :confused:

First to say is my procedure :

Needed Tools :
IMGFS_TOOL's ; xda3nbftool ; Hex Editor and (package tool 1.01)
msvcr71.dll

Extract procedure :

1 Copy rom.nbf in IMGFS_TOOL directory
2 prepare_imgfs rom.nbf
(two files are created : imgfs_raw_data.bin and imgfs_removed_data.bin)
3 viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
(dump directory is created with my ROM)

To insert an application (example Pocket RAR 3.60) these steps :

1 Copy in DUMP folder rar.exe + rar.lnk + DSM File
2 With Hex Editor, append on file packages.sof at the end the number of DSM file with this method.
0c4885f0-4455-11db-b0de-0800200c9a66.dsm
f085480c-5544-db11-b0de-0800200c9a66
(reverse -rev -rev -nor -normal )
3 With Hex Editor, append on file initflashfiles the line :
Directory("\windows\start menu\programs"):-file("Rar.lnk","\windows\rar.lnk")

Rebuild procedure :

1 BuildImgfs
2 make_imgfs rom.nbf
3 xda3nbftool -c -u rom.nbf

Flash hx4700 with itask+contacts+reset (Bootloader) and HP Flashutility

Questions :

- Is there a simpler way to add Programs ? Like an application ?
With my packages.sof Hex Editing isn't real good ... example : Backup application doesn't work
- How can I extract the XIP and rebuild it in the ROM ?
- Is it needed to convert nbf to nba ?

Thanks in advance
Gabriele

@ Kozhura:

Your rom much speedier than my modified rom THANKS
I have some problem:
1. Icon usb to pc is missing. ( not big deal )
2. Wirelles manager is gone ( dunno ? )
3. AKu is still 1.1.1 OS 5.1.478 ( Build 15706.1.1.1 )

I use AKU 3.5.2 for HP 4700 (Pool Sized 8MB (FULL)Build 110607 , it's normal trully 1.1.1 aku ?

Just went out on a limb and did the above mentioned "update/grade" at home. Had to use the bootloader from another post in this forum to eventually get the file across to the 4700 (and I had to remember to stay calm whilst it was updating).

But WOW, what a difference! The hp4700 just screams! Everything you loved about 2003SE speed wise is here, and then some. It feels a lot faster than what I remember from 2003SE.

Here are some of my initial findings:
- "Instant On" after the 4700 had shutdown, and its also responsive from the first second, not like the HP wm5 2.01 flavor that needs 30 or so seconds to "wake up".
- My WiFi reception seems better and quicker. Connects faster to access points. New icons for showing the type of access points as well.
- Scrollbars in IE and in the os in generally feel a lot quicker.Scrolling up and down through the programs folder doesn't take ages for WM5 to update the icon catalog.
- I'll add more things to this post as I uncover them...

There are some caveats though. (All these findings are based on the Full "AKU 3.5.2 for HP 4700 by kozhura" flavor listed above, dated 110607)

- Ipaq Audio is not to be found, resulting in no means to regulate audio levels.
- Connectivity icon is hidden, only shows a single white pixel. (it's fully functional just hard to "hit")
- WM5's Wireless manager doesn't work.(The standard IPAQ wireless program does work )
- USB to PC is missing it's icon, but works fine. (This release adds the option "enable advanced network funcionality, whatever that may mean)
- Backlight settings only accessible through the TodayPanel Lite icon on the main screen. Same goes for Power. Both work, although they need to be entered from other modules.

More later

P.S. Anyone manage to get onto the original threads on the russian 4pda forums? I suspect the newer versions/updates will be posted there first and not
on xda-developers.

*Update* Apparently this will be the last update of sorts for a while. More info here:

I had installed the "FULL" release and couldn't find them, maybe I overlooked them. But that coupled with the lack of a volume icon and wireless settings in the taskbar prompted me to switch to the "lite" flavor. I hope we see some more developments on these roms.

Kozhura: Keep up the amazing work! You've singlehandedly made me want to use my 4700 again on a daily basis!

Yeah, its a

I have already hard reset it ( not in bootloader mode ) , and modified hpruu.ini same with rom name,
and in hp ipaq rom utility 2.02.014 show :
model id : unknown
rom version : unknown
and if i klik upgrade
show error 514 : device failed verivication
is there wrong in this step ?

you need to put it bios /hard reset mode, try this

1.) Go to the Master Index of BIOS, FIRMWARE, & DRIVER Updates,
2.) Select the appropriate hyperlink for your model.
3.) Download the most recent BIOS version SoftPAQ (SP) for your Model of iPAQ. (ie kozhura roms whic u like)
4.) Press the POWER + iTASK + CONTACTS + RESET buttons at the same time so as to enter the FLASH Mode,
5.) Make sure your USB connection to the Cradle is hooked-up.
6.) Place your iPAQ in the USB Cradle.
7.) Stop the MS ActiveSync session on your HOST PC: CTRL-ALT-DELETE > TASK MANAGER > PROCESSES.
8.) Hilight WESCOMM.EXE and select "End Process" button.
9.) Run the file (ie hpruu) you downloaded from HP in step 3.
10.) The iPAQ should now begin Flashing the iPAQ's ROM BIOS.

I have the same problem with the 4700 giving the same error message.
I am sorry I do not understand what the next quote means.
-------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Go to the Master Index of BIOS, FIRMWARE, & DRIVER Updates,
2.) Select the appropriate hyperlink for your model.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Could you tell me where this is please, i:e, HP site or here.
I would like to know how to put the 4700 back to normal if I decide to do so.
It does seem to be faster using the "original" file.
Thank you.

Report and polling of habit

happened im my device
after upgrade to fuul version ENG , unable back to origial rom provide by hp ( only SP 29841 can )
try to entering bootloader , editing hpruu.ini file still can not flash to original version provided by kozhura ( only lite version can )
Perhaps / I hope kozhura can make only clean rom ( os & office by HP + cf2 + aku 3.5.2 ) for another option for better next generation rom.

Why in the about screen its not showing aku 3.5.2 but 1.1.0. not like in the screenshot by kozhura in page 1 ?

After soft reset it have to splah twice ( hp and 2.01 in lower right screen ) and after that it's enter into windows mobile screen ?

The only way to wake up device after doing reg hack is hard reset
ie : make time and date appear in taskbar, changing wide tool bar in right/ horisontal or vertical, moving attachment and/or email body to sd card,deleting navpoint/sip input registry, etc

Aplication instaled in my device :
yahoo go
im+ 4.3
opera 8.6
resco 5.42
sktools
psshutxp
wm5newmenu

point to kozhura for make it better, stable, no bug
but still big applause to him ..........
