I did a rom upgrade on an hx2110 - installed successfully, but now the only thing I can get the pda to do is go into Pre bootloader mode (i.e. Pre-BL 1.00.02 blue screen). SO I tried the universal bootloader method - makes it all the way to the flashing portion but then does NOTHING - the terminal simply sits there saying "ready" and does not upload anything - the program sees the correct communication port (ie. usb01 or whatever). HOW do I force an upload???
Thanks!
Rusty
On another note - I had purchased a working 2110 with a good mobo to replace this one if the flash is not repairable - is that a difficult procedure? Unfortunately, the 2110 I purchased was not working, but this may still be in the books at a later time, so some info would help.
Thanks!

Rusty,
You are so lucky that I experienced this problem and solved it on my own. You did not specify what ROM you were loading, but here is the fix:
First you need to get another pocketpc, hx2000 series like yours that is working.
Put that device into white screen bootloader or pre-BL mode (depending on which device you got to borrow)
Ensure that the battery on that device is 100% charged.
Run the original ROM upgrade for the ROM you wish to install (use PDAViet if it's WM6 and use the HP SP32408 to Run it)
Hit all the Ok screens until it brings you to the one that has the "UPDATE" button.
Remove the working Ipaq from the cradle and place it's 100% battery in you own.
Put your Ipaq into pre-BL mode and put it on the cradle. Press the calendar button to activate the usb drivers.
Once it says "USB", Hit the "UPDATE" button and it will load the proper ROM to your IPaq.
When It is done, perform a hard reset by formatting the PS on the device.
Voila!! Your Ipaq is Un-Bricked!! Put in your original battery and charge it up!
Enjoy!!
Bless...
hi Rustmonkey,
i have the similar things - i made my hx2110 brick when i flashed it with a different language ROM, it went 100% when i flashed the ROM but didn't work at all after that.
the problem is i can get it in the bootloader mode after trying many ways, at the same time the pc can't find any USB device at all.
how to make it work again?
thanks.

You're going to need another hx2000 series to make sure the battery is fully charged - put the battery in and then use the bootloader keystrokes immediately (contacts+itask+reset) - you made need to tap reset a few times while holding the other two to get it to work. After it is in bootloader mode, push the calander button while it is connected to the cradle/usb to get the pc to recognize it

really amazing !!!!!!
I just saved my hx2110 as per your step by step instruction now.
Thank you very much.
ok, well, I thought they were fixed... now one of them freezes at the bootup screen, even when I do a clean reset... I've tried reflashing multiple times to no avail... any ideas whats going on?
ok, got everything working - reflashed the non-working one back to an original 2003 rom - which made if freeze at boot - then upgraded it via pre-bl to 1.00.00.L - from here, it wouldn't do anything after filling the bar at the boot screen, but it didn't CRASH (as in lights out) - so I ran the pre-bl again and ran the flash program for 1.00.00.L again WITHOUT swapping between the 2495 and the 2110 - just put the 2110 in pre-bl and away we went - flashed, formatted, and booted - then proceed to upgrade to WM6 via 1.00.00.H --> 1.02.00.H --> WM6 - works GREAT!!!
Thanks for the help everyone!
Dear All,
I`ve got the same problem but i don`t have a second ipaq.. is there anyway to repair it with out the second device???
Thank you very much

Hello,
I have run into some problems with a bricked hx2110.
I was flashing the IPAQ to a new ROM WM5 (Battery was full and I read all the instructions 10 times prior to flashing). While flashing, the progress bar went to 100% then faded out immediately and it wouldn't reset (clean reset). I put the battery in my friends hx3000 series and the battery I used was completely dead. It did flash to 100% though, but not matter how many times I try 1 + 3 + reset, it doesn't reboot. If I can figure out how to get it to boot, that would be great, but I can't get anything to come up with any key combinations.
To this point all I can do is get into Pre-BL mode 1.00.04. I have tried the below scenarios on two machines, both running windows XP SP2 (USB 2.0) with the firewall and virus software disabled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330382&page=4
1) I have tried the above links directions and used the the Universal Bootloader (Bootloader.exe). It gets to the point where it says "The PDA should be updating now" or something similar but nothing happens. I don't get any errors regarding communications (it sees the device when I hold the "Calendar" button until it says USB; windows then recognizes the device as "HP USB ..." so I know it's communicating).
2) I tried to use the Bootloader_GUI.exe beta so that I can watch the progress indicator but it just sits at 0%. There are no error messages so it is communicating but for some reason, the device won't let it flash (and the flash utility thinks it's doing something).
3) I tried the original ROM flash from HP (SP29856.EXE) and it recognizes the device, but because the current ROM on the PDA is hosed, when it does it's "verifying" process, it comes up with "?" marks as the model number and when it goes to flash it starts at .1% then says "FINISHED" immediately. The ROM utility thinks it flashed it correctly but it didn't flash anything. I'm guessing that the verification of the PDA failed and forced the utility to not flash.
Does anyone have ANY ideas of what to try? I wish I had another HX2000 series PDA and try the "swap" thing prior to hitting the update button but I don't. All I have to work off of it my sad bricked PDA and a full battery (friend keeps charging it). His PDA is an HX3000 series.
Any ideas would be appreciated,
Thanks!
Are you using a the HP flash program that is specified for your device?
2nd - you might be able to use your buddies device in a swap as well - not sure but its worth a shot - use HPs upgrade program, let it verify, then swap your device onto the same cable - overwrite the firmware in the update program for HIS device with firmware compatible with yours and then hit update - let us know if this works...
I am using the "official" HP flash program specific for the HX2110 (from their website - SP29856), bootloader.exe, and bootloader_gui.exe
I wanted to try my friends, but he won't let me touch his because I bricked mine lol (I swore nothing would happen to his but he still won't let me try it).
Anyway, I just copied over the ROM image (from HP) and stripped out the header (now showing 64 bytes before the ECEC). The ROM is for WM2003. I copied the ROM in binary using psdwrite.exe to an 256 MB SD card. As soon as I can get the battery back, I'm going to try to flash it from the SD card. If this fails, I am going to try to play around with MTTY / USB and manually call the ROM flash and see what happens.
Having another HX2000 series would make this easy (maybe a little TO easy )!
Bootloader never worked for me - but if you can get it to manually call the flash, more power to you good luck!
Well it was worth a shot. After spending the better part of the day with the PDA, I have made no more progress (can't get Pre-Bl to update). The only option I have now is to find someone with another hx2000 series that is willing to resurrect it from the dead for me (PM me if you can help - I will pay two way fare). Until that happens, it's going in the "broken" drawer with all my old comp stuff .
Thanks to all the tips and tricks that is posted on these forums and brighthand! There is a wealth of information on this topic and without them, I would have gotten nowhere in trying to repair the device (granted, I wouldn't have been intrigued to upgrade the ROM in the first place and would still have a working PDA, but that's besides the point ).
Best of luck to you all.
1).download original ROM from HP (sp29799) -extract files
2) download http://upload.dvhk.pl/content.php?id=88892 - replace files
3) flesh device.
bay!
link crash http://upload.dvhk.pl/content.php?id=88892 - replace files

I saw the thread on this forum about the VGA ROM for the P750...
Unfortunately I am not an expert at all and perhaps maybe not the right place here for me to ask but here it goes,
Can I easily install and remove the ROM in case the the VGA patch starts bugging? and how do you install the ROM, is there are step by step manual floating around?
any feedback greatly appreciated!

Hi, I did install the VGA ROM vers. 1.02 by Sorg & GreatVK and also tried the 0.17 by Sorg.
I didn't link the dual-mode keyboard (RUS-US) of the 0.17 and I think it has a higher memmory comsumition. So, I prefered the 1.02.
The 1.02 is stable, and the only problem I noticed is about the Live Messenger that do not works. The VGA screen is realy better!!!
If you do not like, you can install other dumped ROM or one of those you can find at asus website.
To install de Dumped: put the .nb0 file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + down + power + reset.
To install de Shipped: put the .cap file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + up + power + reset.
Here both methods works finte.
:hth:

ok thanks alot
with dumped you mean the Sorg & greatVK rom and with shipped you mean the original Asus Rom?

Depends, if your ROM is avaiable at Asus site you dont. Mine was WWE UK, there has just WWE SG, TH and MS at asus site. I restored my to SG with no broblems, just did the forced mode 1st and after coud do the normal one.
Wich ROM is currenty on your device (settings/ system / system information / version)?
I am running the VGA 0.17 Base and am very happy with it, only the Keybaord Thing drives me crazy and CoolCamera is a bit crappy......... But once you have seen the VGA, believe me you dont want to go back to QVGA. Also WM6.1 more stable in my Opinion than WM6.0 and few nice Things like a real Taskmanager......... attached a screenshot !!
I am using ROM version 4.8.4 NLD_NL00? is that for the Netherlands?
To install de Dumped: put the .nb0 file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + down + power + reset........................
how hard can this be?
I installed 1.02 by Sorg & GreatVK file but when I (try) to press all 4 buttons above a screen comes up saying
Flashrom Update.....
IPL: iplPegP_4H3
but nothing really happens
what s going wrong? how u press all these buttons together?
Right Hand on Voice Button and Slider, left hand on J/Stick Press Reset w Stylus using your mouth....... Remember when flashing from SD Card only plug-in Cable after this...
Also for Cap File J/stick up and for nbo File J/stick up.....
sorry for this long message but I need to get this device running VGA along with another 3 collagues who will be operating the same device
to flash ROM/install the VGA patch ::
On the Asus mobile club it is explained as:
The way the first - with MicroSD card
1)take (preferably clean, just formatted) MicroSD card no more than 2GB (MiniSDHC PODOYDET NOT!) And copy it, the root, file PegasusP.nb0
2) present the card into the phone, the phone or connect to a computer or to power supply.
3)joystick down and slide the button to switch off the top Hold these buttons in a position to release and push briefly reset (now come in such rastopyrku ASUS!).We continue to hold the button until butbloka server It shall commence proceedings firmware
ok so installing the root folder which is thiS? My MicroSD folder is completely empty and how do I know it s not HC?
for the record, the joystick button needs to pressed down or up? manual above says down, you say up!
thanks for yr help
it seems to work now to some extent
in the boot menu it says ' PEGASUS NBO not found'
I checked in mobile explorer, the file is sitting there..
coulld it not work because my p750 is running on a Dutch ROM??? (the WM language is Dutch witch is not changeable it seems)
Copy The File PegasuP.nb0 to the just formatted Card, remember you must format FAT16 !! and then it should find it.......
Oh the the Card will say HC on it if it is !! To flash to another Asus OEM Rom (like WWE English) put the AsusP750.cap File on the Card and do the same Procedure only push the Joystick UP, then it will ask to be plugged into either USB or Charger Cable, after you do this the Boot will start. Then extract the the whole OEM Firmware onto the Card and upgrade again.
Alternate ways to load "PegasusP.nb0" ROMS
Hi all, just want to post something I found on this particular forum. Would help in loading of "PegasusP.nb0"
3 different ways to load the ROMs.
http://asusmobile.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=83
The USBLoader file can be found here
http://www.mediafire.com/?fa9a9vp2knb
Var.1 – Using MicroSD
1. Format your MicroSD card (max. capacity 2 Gb! NOT SDHC) and copy PegasusP.nb0 on it
2. Plug in you MicroSD card into smartphone and connect in to PC or plug in power adapter
3. Press and hold VoiceCommander button + joystick down + PowerButton up and press Reset once but keep on holding the buttons untill you see bootloader screen. Then it starts uploading new firmware
4. Smartphone will reboot and that`s it!
Var.2 for XP users!
1) Go to ActiveSync settings and check out (disable) USB cable connection
2) Perss and hold VioceCommander button + Power button up. Press Reset once but keep on holding the buttons untill you see bootloader screen.
3) Smatphone will turn on the bootloader mode throu USB
4) Connect P750 to PC and wait till PC will install drivers

Hi All,
Will the above describe procedure force-load a ROM that is from a different region than the original ROM? There are some new 6.1 WWE ROMs on the ASUS website, but I can't get them to load since my phone is not from any of the regions available.
Has anyone tried the new ROMs? Any recommendations?

hi guy's my asus p750 won't update just come at the update screen-sd download and standing they wont 2 finish pls help
thanks.....
Hey guys,
I have no idea what's going on. I appreciate your suggestions. I flashed my Diamond many times (and other phones as well) with most of the ROM available. Unit a month ago or so I've been using the official 1.93 ROM with previously installed hard SPL 1.40. When I attempted to install a new 2.03 ROM I went through the whole procedure same way as always with a little exception. Right after completion - 100% the unit reboots, shows the rainbow screen with a message "Upgrade ROM code error" - try again. What is the world is this? I also have a message on my desktop "Error 270-update error" - The image file is corrupted. My unit is european and I downloaded the ROM from both US and Euro sites. From this point I managed to downgrade again to version 1.93. Then I ran again the hard SPL 1.40 and reattempted to upgrade to 2.03 - SAME THING!
I don't know what to do next. Why I cannot flush it with the latest ROM? Any ideas or similar situations? Please see picture.
Thanks
Same Thing happened to me :S wtf??

Hi have you tried to flash from the internal storage?
Have you tried flashing with internal storage method?
Exactly the same problem here, so I tried to flash to a really old original HTC ROM after the failure and it flashed fine
So I thought I would try upgrading over the top of an original ROM, had the same error , bloody HTC
So, any ideas how to resolve this issue? Are we stuck with the old ROM? I'm glad that I'm not the only one experiencing the same problem.
No, I have never tried to flash from internal storage. How can this be done? do I copy the whole .exe file to storage and run from there? Any pre-cautions?
Thanks
Though I bricked my phone when it happened, never seen that error before despite many ROM flashes
I have now tried tommytaos ROM which is supposed to be very close to the original but some with some tweaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479049
It installed just fine on my phone. Seems HTC have broken their ROM

it's the best way to flash the rom and the safest...
From Suiller thread:
the standard procedure to cook a ROM is made trough activesync program, I mean that the .nbh file is pushed into the phone trough activesync, across the usb cable, but this procedure can give some troubles:
1. it takes long time, about 10 minutes
2. it's a bit unsafe (even if the procedure can be always restored safely)
3. it's possible only with Windows OS (NO Linux nor *BSD, et cetera...)
I don't know why this is not well known but ALL producers (like HTC) give the possibility to upgrade the rom/firmware without having MS windows (thanks GOD someone knows that there aren't only windows users).
This faster procedure can be done also with *nix variants (or whatever you use) because the ROM update is made directly by the phone.
The procedure is very simple, it will take just 2 minutes, can be done everywhere & is good for cooking radios too (very fast in this case)
-= COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
notes:
* be sure to have at least 10/20% of charge, anyway the whole procedure will take about 2 minutes, so you must be ensure that your mobile will stay turned on for at least those 2 dirty minutes (just in case you can attach the power AC/DC too), don't panic if something goes wrong... read few lines below
* like told you above the same procedure is good for cooking Radio too, of course Radio are smaller and it will be really fast (about one minute!)
* you don't need windows anymore or activesync, is enough just to copy the file into the storage card (transfers WITHOUT activesync are faster)
* it's possible to make a reset simply by getting off the stylus and pressing the small red button under the stylus carrier
* don't worry if something goes wrong... any cook failure can be always restored, the important thing is that you don't fail hardspl flash... but you have to do it just one time in your life
special note about hard-spl:
if you have signed-only hard-spl I strongly suggest to upgrade to an un-signed one, personally I tested many & I can confirm that the "good ones", at least in my experience, are the Olinex 1.37 or 1.93, you can find a copy here
remember also that you can NOT brick your device if you have a good hard-spl (like the ones I mentioned above) & flashing directly from phone is really faster (also good for flashing radio)
so the only one thing you should take care is when you change/upgrade the hard-spl, but you have to do this step just once, I'm using this hard-spl from about 6 months & I was able to flash everything (plus dozen recovers for failed flash)
for rom/radio upgrades you can safely also reboot/remove cable/turn off your phone while flashing ...every lost flash can be always restored safely, it's enough to restart your device in boot mode & restart flashing, also with cable trough the classic RUU (to put device in boot mode simply reset & keep pressed Vol_Down button)
In the hope this procedure can be useful at least to save time
if you have the official rom which is a exe file you can extract the rom file using winrar.
EUREKA!!! Done Deal!!!
Flashed from Internal Storage as per following directions:

THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!
Flashing using the Internal Method is the safest and most convenient way to flash. Spread the word.......
xevier69, Thanks for your thread
Having just purchased Oli's security unlocker... I was annoyed about this problem with a HTC official rom!
But your method has solved this issue!
Thanks again
Thanks guys it works perfect!
This just happened to me too and the only roms i have ever flashed:
1.37 official spanish: came with the phone
1.37 official WWE
1.93 official WWE
and now 2.03 official WWE fails.
WTF... One would expect the upgrade not to fail, right?
I wonder if they are checking for HardSPL to be original too!?
Anyway thanks for the workaround
This worked for me to
Cheers

Thers some other option
Install twice from activesync 1st time = error, run for the second time the same version and OK it updates.
At least with my Diamond had worked

Hi!
The same thing happend to me too... I think it's because of the serial number we have entered when we have downloaded that 100 MB ROM Update file from the HTC support site... well i think it doesn't match with the serial and IMEI of the phone that the upgraded rom checks at the end of the update process... so i think it's kind of a protection against piracy developed by htc... taiwanese idiots!
Hi!
pls anyone send any information about an rom update file that works and doesn't report errors after it installed 100%. pls specify it's rom version too! 2.03 would be great
thanks in advance

Hi
I have an ASUS P526 and I had a problem of not being able to turn the PHONE function on.
The Communicaton Manager did not have the option to turn on the phone,
and I could not establish a USB connection to my PC via ActiveSync : It said "Cannot open UFN drivers"
I was using Windows Mobile 6.0
So I decided to flash the OS ROM. I downloaded SCHIST ROM v21864_clean and flashed the OS with the flash.dio.nb0 included in the download.
(i.e. I did not extract any flash.dio.nb0 files from my own ROM)
Now, when I turn on the phone, I get the Windows Mobile 6.5 SCHIST ROM 21864 clean screen and cannot log on to windows.
This is probably because I tried to flash an ASUS P526 with ASUS P527 ROM, but I could not find any other ROM to flash with.
When I download the original P526 ROM from the ASUS Website
(e.g. V618_WWE_Turkey_EXT_V158 ), I get a P526.pim file, but PIMSPLIT.EXE does not extract any " *.nb0 " files when I drag P526.pim onto it..
I am totally confused as to what to do at this point..
Please help!
I just want to be able to use Windows Mobile 6.0 , 6.1 or 6.5 with the phone, and be able to use the phone function, as well...
PS: The only way for me to flash the ROM on the phone, is with the SD card method, because ActiveSync does not work.
Hi
Tell me one thing, if you make a Softreset and click the OK button on the left will be in bootloader?
If so something can be done without sd.
The procedure is done using a ROM file.nbo, but first you must unlock the phone ...
Let me know and we'll see
Excuse my English
What do you mean Active Sync does not work? Is it a mechanical problem or a program incompatibility?
Try this: this is Expert mode in installing the Turkey ROM (or any other language).
Warning: Do this at your own risk! If not done right you might brick your phone! I will not be responsible for any damage done to your phone.
1.Make sure battery is fully charged.
2. connect your devide to PC using USB cable.
3. Run the ROM upgrade program you downloaded from ASUS site,
4. On the top bar of the installation window, "right click". A window will appear with the option "Expert Mode". Click on that. A message will appear in the window about connect USB or something (I'm sorry but I cannot remember the exact message since I have not done this in a long time).
5. Now you have to go to bootloader mode in your P526. Do this by pressing and HOLDING on the OK button <rocker switch on the left side> then press reset button <continue hoding down the rocker switch>. Your unit should go to the blue ASUS screen and a message will appear about being in USB mode or cable something <again I'm sorry I cannot remember exact message>.
6. If this appears then press the <Update> button on the installer window. This should start the installation proces.
Hope this helps. if you have any other questions or if this does not work please feel free to post again.
thanks for your good information
regards

Hello,
First instal ActiveSync 4.5 in PC. - if not already installed
Code:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/activesync.html
Then in settings in (ActiveSync) disable (NOT check): "allowed to connect to one of the following port" and "Allow connection to USB".
Perhaps the translation is correct. I use the CZ version. But it's second and third check box.
Now
This works for when the Universal is in Bootloader and Windows Mobile.
1. First download the ROM you want to install.
2. Extract it to a folder (use winar or other extraction software).
3. There will be up to 3 ROMs in the package: ms_.nbf (Extended ROM), nk.nbf (OS ROM), radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
4. Delete those which you don't want to install. (If you just want to upgrade the radio rom for instance delete ms_.nbf and nk.nbf and leave radio_.nbf.)
5. Download UniversalRUU.zip
6. Extract it and copy into that folder the nbf files you want to install.
7. Enter BootLoader mode by pressing and holding the power button and backlight button whilst performing a reset with the stylus. And plug to PC. Wait few seconds.
8. Doubleclick ROMUpgradeUt.exe and follow the instructions
9. When the upgrade is finished pull out the USB cable from the Universal.
10. You will need to do a soft reset OR hard reset depending on the situation. (note: some say do a soft reset / others a hard reset .. possibly someone with more knowledge could correct me here, but until then it's best to investigate the matter for yourself on the forum.)
11. To do a hard reset (push the two menu buttons ("-") on the keyboard + the reset button at the same time (all of this three). Doing a hard reset will result in you losing all your installed apps and data so ensure you have a backup of everything first.) Everything should be fine from this time. You have to calibrate the screen and do some tutorial...
12. If after doing a hard reset you want your Universal not to install the extras from the Extended ROM wait untilsetup is complete and then do a softreset when the popup window appears (you have 3 seconds before it installs ExtendedROM)
For a long time I have not installed the new ROM. I remember so I proceeded as follows
