HP iPAQ hx4700 and Crossbow

Hi there,
Since Crossbow is running perfectly on my Universal, I wanted to give another model a try, so anyone ever succeeded in having the iPAQ hx4700 running Crossbow?
I know it might be a bit dangerous, but I already tried to put the hx4700 in the bootloader and to flash a HTC Universal Crossbow ROM.
It actually starts upgrading, but after a few %'s the screen turns blank and with a soft reset the device will restart.
Something to forget or is there a way?

i m currently doing some rom cooking for my 4700...
working out the wm6!

Great!!
I'd say: please share when you've something done.

i cant find anything similar to initflashfiles.dat

Is this a ROM for the hx4700?
If it isn't this is no new leaked ROM. It's one of the first WM6 ROM's for the HTC Universal. Many other have already been released after this one.

thats not for 4700
but i m trying to do sth with it
hope u guys will develop a great rom for his GrEAT device too
however i m improving the speed of wm5
like editing paging pool and removing some rubbish
added some wm6 rings into the rom and stuff.

Any progress made on a Crossbow ROM for hx4700?

I'm really interested on some new ROM for the hx4700. It has not been beaten yet in terms of speed and screen size! Why not WM6 on it??

I already found a few ROM's, but i'm hoping too, that the hx4700 community will pick this up as well as the HTC one ...
Bart

Any news on this topic?

?
I havent heard anything as of yet hoepfully there will be a WM6 ROM Soon on the HX4700.

perhaps not...

Perhaps? Closer

A Modded WM5 version

I hope somebody does get a WM6 rom working for the hx4700. It's time for a step up from the unstable modded WM5s with a pretty WM6 theme.

Dell Axim X51

Hi, i was wondering is there anyway a rom could be created for the Axim X51? if so can someone please give me a link to a kitchen i could use to cook one? would be great

Yes, there is a way to make a rom for the axim X51. No, there is no kitchen that exists for the axim X51. You have to do all the dirty work manually. I will, however, give you the tools to work and a place to get started.
Most of the stuff you need can be found right here on Xda-Developers. You need the latest rom that Dell made (I think it's A12), the rom that has the os or aku you want, Xipport, and M'Relloc. A good place to start would be http://www.pda4x.com/read.php?tid=40125&fpage=3.

Thank you!
How can i converter the A12 rom which is in .img format into an .nbf?
where could i find a WM6 Classic Rom?
Thanks again,
Kurt

I tryed doing it today but failed lol my Axim is bricked theres no point in me un bricking it now i cant stand WM5 just gives me errors all the time where both my Wizard and Niki hardly ever.
Is there a tutorial anywhere that could help me on doing it?
Come on guys Thanks
Kurt

Have you ever seen http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/137015-tutorial-how-revive-bricked-x51-v-using-dommes-sd-rom-loader-tutorial.html before on Aximsite? This might help you get the X51 nb0 you are looking for. What rom are you getting WM6 from anyway? Do you have Xipport and M'Relloc yet?

Ive unbricked my Axim i converted the file to .nb0 i tryed to use Xipport but im not sure if im using it correctly. I dont understand what M'relloc does i tryed to use it but was confused. what i did try was to take the XIP from the Dell A12 Rom and insert it into footballs WM6 for the X51v i would prefer to use a different rom but cannot find one.
Thank you,
Kurt

I forgot to mention you also need a hex editor. I say that you use HxD, found at http://www.mh-nexus.de/hxd/. Now in HxD, search (choose "find next") for the hex value "FE 03 00 EA" and go to the 2nd instance of it. Have Mammich's imgfs tools handy. Run the axim nb0 file through prepare_imgfs.exe and get the hex value that the imgfs starts at. Use the "find next" option again and search for the starting value of the imgfs. Choose "next" for a few times and then choose "select block". Change the starting value to "140000" and save the highlighted bunch as "xip.bin" to get your axim's xip.

Rumble you still working on it? I am looking for 6.1 aswell.
I was thinking, maybee there is a way to extract and replace the qvga stuff to fit the x51
from the football release (does that sound stupid?)
Let me know if I can help somehow

Why no effort for Dell x51??? (
Hi, everybody. I wonder why not anybody prepare some wm6 ROM for x51? Is it so difficult or the device not worth it???

Probably no one has the time and expertise to do it. It also takes time to test the rom builds for errors. It's already a pain for me since my X50(mid) broke and I have to rely on beta testers to test for me.

Ive stopped trying now. Would be great to have it though. I need some1 who can tell me excatly what to do other than that theres no point.

Hi rumble291 there is a guy who build a Rom for the X51 he is call Lenny

HX4700 WM6.1 ROMs

Dpdurst is graciously hosting all ROMS for the 4700. The link is: http://wm6.winmobile.us/hpmain.htm
This is finest and most complete collection of 4700 ROMs. For those interested in my SL61V3_lite ROM, the link is:
http://rapidshare.com/files/102132189/SL61V3_lite.zip
My best wishes to all who continue development for the 4700.
Regards,
Sanjay

Thanks for the effort
I tried the untouched pdaviet version but had a couple issues with it, but will try your modified version.

Keyboard is back to looking presentable!!! Thanks algasystems. Hey sanjay I still have the Windows Mobile Lawn boot screen though... It looks the same as the pdaviet rom I think... I'm not gonna reflash back to check but i'm pretty sure.
I guess it's a good thing you started this thread... the vulcan was probably going to loose it any day now.
I'm using the 4700 rom editor for mods, what are you using.
Thanks for saving me the work of cleaning up the rom!!!
Later..

Chemong: I wish you good luck, but don't believe you will find my variation fixes any issues such as battery problems. This is just a cleaner version of the same rom.
MannyMania: Interesting that you are still seeing the lawn. Here's the boot screen I now see. Oh well, at least the keyboard is fixed. I don't intend to do anymore to this since it now is good enough until Kozhura returns but hopefully others will take this and improve it.
I've used Vivi's kitchen in the past, but for simple changes such as these, I just use mamaich's tools directly. I credited Chamine in earlier posts for the boot splash change tips.
Hope this works for you.
Regards.

Just flashed to HX4700 PDAVIET wm6.1 and the keyboard looks familiar to me, thanx.
Ciao

Just a note:
The first time I tried the PDAViet version, I saw the rather undesireable bootsplash. I tried re-flashing the previous WM6.0, which did not un-do the bootsplash.
I found that the only way to get the original blue and white HP bootsplash is to re-flash your device with the official WM5 upgrade. If you don't have the WM5 upgrade, I bet any of the WM2003 ROM update patches will yield the same results (just visit HP's website and search for your device to visit the downloads).

(This only applies if you want to revert back to WM6.0.)

Nice job, Sanjay! I ony had PDAVIet's version installed for a few minutes before I promptly removed it. You have solved every issue I had with their version.

what did i do wrong?
First of all, greetings and thanks to everyone who made WM6 possible on hx4700!
I noticed that my device shows only 54.33 program memory? On your screenshot it shows 100 and something. How to enable this?
Thanks!

MaffooClock:
Interesting. If people are seeing the PDAVIET splash and I'm not, your explanation may be why. When I reflashed my 4700 with the latest ROM, my previous flash may not have been undone. So thank you for the experiments.
Because of the capabilities of the 4700 (e.g. no phone), I believe this ROM can be made even leaner. I will try to repeat your steps and fix the flash the next time.
Do you think reflashing with a Kozhura WM6 ROM would accomplish the same thing? Even the thought of reverting back to the HP WM5 disaster causes me to shudder.

Does this ROM has all rgu files or you deleted them all ?

Thank you Vivi. I've found your kitchen to be excellent as well and a great help for ROM tuning. I also read your tips including ones to remove the RGU files, but PDAVIET already had these deleted so I did not need to remove them. I still feel though that for the 4700 capabilities, there are other files that can be removed to free up more space. I will experiment more to see what I can do with this.

Sanjay

Thanks Sanjay,
rgu files are needed in using ROM Kitchen.
If no rgu files in ROM, no way to re-packages from that ROM and use ROM Kitchen.
I want to try this ROM but I also want to add my favorite programs in this ROM also.If no rgu files,then I have to manually add and edit it.
I am working with WM6.1 ROM for ASUS P525 and fixing WiFi error with no success , so no time to build Hx4700 WM6.1 from scratch.
BTW,thanks.

Someone should post the ATI drivers from the hx4700 on here.

Cruzzmz,
Holy smokes, nice work on all this. I just read up on a lot of the threads. You are out of control. We all owe u many thanks.
I MIGHT be able to convince a friend to 'DUMP' his ROM. I am new to all this.....
What exactly does this do to the phone after it's dumped? Can he use it on softbank, or does he need a new ROM? Is there anyway to screw it away and 'brick' his phone?
Thanks!

Asus A696 Upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5

Hey,
I tried to upgrade my Asus A696 to a new version but no luck (i'm not that good at this kind of stuff), so my question is if there's a way to upgrade it at least to WM 6.1, or 6.5 using a different ROM version or something like that.
I would appreciate if the following answers would be from people who tried this before.
PS: If there are links (here) where i can find steps to upgrade, i would be grateful if you point them out.
Regards

I'd like to do this as well. I second the request for help and I'd very much like to know if you are able to do this .
Thanks very much,
PM

I sign for that too - I would to install WM6.5

It will be soon, I have working version wm6.1 PLK (21109), but it's just my second build. I don't have this device, so I can't do it quickly.

It's not a mistake. For example WM6.5 on HP iPAQ hx2000 series runs much faster then WM6.1
I would suggest You to go for WM6.5

that's my opinion, I don't like chome, honeycomb, new big menus, manila and other kind of sh%t.
But if you like it, you can use it. I don't prohibit it

any news about it? I would like to install 6.1 or 6.5 also on my a696

Was amazed to find a ASUS P527 6.5 upgrade on here the other day, being able to upgrade the A696 would be awesome as well .
So if there is anyone listening out there, please, please

Thanks for your reply, I downloaded and took a look - but I've never done anything like this before, I don't know where to begin. The fact that anything I make with this would be Polish (?) - I'm out of my league. Maybe I'll see if I can figure out the P527 where they do have a World Wide English version already and see what can be done with that.
The P527 has a bunch of ways to upgrade through USB and microSD even if the main process fails - I have no idea if there is such a method for the A696 though. If a flash fails, that could be it... and that's a little bit daunting for a first timer...
Thanks,
Peter

you can make image backup first.
pdocread –v 0x0 0x3600000 nk.nb0
upgrade is simply, by usbloader.
1. Disable usb connections in async
2. plug usb cable to pda
3. reset pda with center dpad button pressed.
4. USB Download mode screen will appear
5. Click "Upload ROM!" in kitchen.

can anybody please create and upload the wwe version? It's just that I don't understand Polish so the PLK is completely useless to me (and I guess others)

globalbus, can you please at least try? I can test the ROMS if you want

Yes, I can try, but not so fast.

Well, I am subscribed to this thread so just tell me when you have something ready. I will be waiting

I too would like a WWE version of a 6.1 or 6.5 ROM for the Asus 6x6 series devices... I would be willing to do some testing as well. I would also be willing to make a donation to whomever gets a 6.5 ROM working.
