Possible for iPAQ h5550 WM5?

Hi...anyone can comment on this subject objectively.
I'm toying with the idea of putting together a ROM for my iPAQ h5550 with WM5. This is an excellent piece of hardware that HP decided to dump & moved on to other models.
Those of you who have managed to upgrade your devices to WM5, please advice me on the following:
What do I need to start with? I've the iPAQ h5550.
Is the hardware compatible? I read from some reviews that generally all X-Scale CPUs are acceptable. My unit has 128Mb RAM & 40 Mb ROM.
What software tools are relevant for this project?
Which ROM can I use as a base for the OS?
How do I get the drivers for the hardware to work in WM5?
That's all i can think of so far...would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction...
Thanks!

the simple truth: No. There is no WM5 Rom Upgrade for this device. And i think it's absolutely impossible to build your own WM5...

TRY, IT WORKS
Want to try WM5.0 out for your self? I originally posted this on ipaqhq.com but I figured this forum is more of a target for such information . ...

Loox n5x0 series rom update

heh, i`ve researched on the loox n5x0 series (htc maria?) rom format. now we can create custom roms.
Loox n5x0 OS_xxxU.nbf header format
total 42 bytes header, the rest is not crypted os rom image (what we usually call nb0 or n_d)
4 bytes - model name (N500, N520 or N560) + 11 bytes empty (filled with 0x00) +9 bytes version (e.g. 1.22.0001) + 1 byte 0x20 (space) +3 bytes language (e.g. ENG, ITA, GER) + 2 bytes empty (0x0) +4 bytes - reversed crc32 checksum (if we have, for example, 1163FCED, then we write ED FC 63 11) + 4 bytes - size of decrypted part (reversed somehow? we have 2100000 and write 00001002) + 4 bytes - rom base flash address (seems it it 80400000, we type 00 00 04 80, don`t play with it)
all this is true for OS_yyyU.nbf ( yyy means rom version), bootloader nbf is coded otherwise, it is usually named BL_xxx_G3.nbf or bl_xxx_G4.nbf. xxx - bl version. I suppose you delete file bl_xxx_G4.nbf or bl_xxx_G3.nbf. new pda`s come with g4 flash, it will be killed with g3 update. and, anyhow, bootloader update is always dangerous and not recommended.
wait a bit - in some days i`ll post a tutorial how to extract os rom image from n500/n520 and probably n560 pda.

Any progress on this? I have a N560 and am very interested in your tutorial. Thanks.

Any news in the N560 area??
I am eager to update the software of my N560... I would like to try the new Windows mobile 6. It's pretty annoying that this really good device cannot be upgraded somehow..
Well, hope to hear something soon..
PS: By the way, you guys are great doing all this stuff

Is loox 5x0 == htc maria? Any prooves?

it's htc dresden)) i'll post aku 3.5.2 for c550/n560 this week

Man that would be awsome!!!
Nice to hear this one!!!
Waiting for the goodie
Thank you man!!

No WM6 yet, but
http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/805977/n560.Alex_DFR_.AKU.3.5.2.rar - here is the rom with aku 3.5.2 for n560
For Loox C550
http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/808633/PocketLOOXC550FlashTool.7z - here is the flasher for c550, download it, download aku3.5.2 for n560, overwrite the files from the n560 update and open OS_213u.nbf with winhex and change n560 to c550
If you have german/french/italian/spanish pda but want to use this update, edit the nbf with winhex and change ENG to FRA/GER/ITA/SPA
Be sure to remove the password (fsc secure lock) before flashing

getting my n560 ready to flashing... go-go-go!

Does not work!!!
I have a spanish N560 pda. I wanted to upgrade its rom.
I did everything as indicated:
- open pda and put it in the cradle
- connect cradle to the power and the usb to my WinXP laptop
- in my XP machine activesync (4.5 spanish version) connects and recognizes my pda
- check there is no password protection in the pda (there was none before)
- unpack n560.Alex_DFR_.AKU.3.5.2.rar and open with WinHex OS_213U.nbf; change ENG to SPA; save file
- execute PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool; in the end I get this error:
"The language in this Flash Image update () differs from that on your device (SPANISH)!"
Well, I did again and again and again... same error...
Any suggestions???
PS: I would like to put its new rom in english, if it's possible!
Thank you

Hi sp3dev,
your update is quite intersting but I have two questions before I want to flash:
1. is the ROM affected by flashing your image, if flashing fails, can the N560 hard reset to original state?
2. Is there a tool which can fetch a complete image from N560 (with ROM)?
Can you give us a short info how you cook the image?
Where do you get the HW depended drivers (e.g WLAN, display..)?
Do you have any links? I have looked a long time
to find any info about upgrade the N560 or cooking Loox images.
Thanks

SPAschreiben not so, but ESN. then is OK ONE

I have with these Romes update. All OK ONE

Stucked
Hi sp3dev and everyone,
I did the upgrade and it went fine, the only thing was that the keyboard was English, I thought there were all in the ROM, and I wanted to get back to the first ROM, so and here comes my problem, I executed
pdocwrite nk.nb0 0 0x2300000
The result of this is that it get stucked at the very first screen, Is there any way to get back? How could I upload a ROM to the N560 in this case?
Thanx

Hi,

It's not there due to a bug. Likewise the transcriber does not work and hangs the system.
I suggest waiting until they fix it and upgrade then, if it is vital for you. I will wait for two reasons: it is probably buggy yet (only two known bugs now though), and I am loath to re-install everything from scratch for the next couple of weeks
Besides, people experiment there with pool size (with some trade-off in RAM) which may yield an even faster machine.
Also if you upgrade, you must not use an old (all-)system backup. Just re-install everything single piece of software you use. Note that some software may lose its registration since you will have a *different* PPC with new (and unofficial) ROM.
... and "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" remember?

AKU 3.5.2
Hi sp3dev,
I thought that in AKU 3.5.2 WPA2 was supported. If I'm right this is supported since AKU 3.5. After upgrade I noticed it wasn't in this release. Is it a mistake? or I'm really wrong.

and "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" remember?

True, but i can't rembemer not installing any MS beta ;-)
And if someone posts a wm6 rom here, i won't be the first to try but might be second or third

i do like the rom..

2. Is this English version?
3. Can it be used to upgrade IPAQ hx2750 from AKU3.5hx2000?
Thanks, Tri

I didn't know that someone already did this! Can you describe the tools that you used and the procedure? I want to include greek language in rom.
And is it possible to have Wm6 for hx 2000?

I also have a iPAQ 2750, same problem that is can be upgraded the ROM?

And I have also hx2750, and I want upgrade wm2003 to wm5! How can I do that?

Do u use Kozhura or Misar's version?
What is the type of your Ipaq? previous version of os?

I used Kozhura version, but I tried the original version too, I haven't tried the other version
The OS I have is the 1.0.0.1 H downloaded from HP's website, I am having hx2795

will this work with a 2490?

And for 2490b? I tried both but I get an error "Incorrect device SKU" I know that have some advices in 4pda, but I cannot understand cause I don't know russian. If anyone knows or can translate them this will be very helpfull.

Same here, they even have some comments about "Digital Sign Mismatch" but I couldn't understand, I tried google language transfer, but no use,
I think we have many members from Rusia, so Is there any body can help to solve our problem ?

Dear anavas,
I flashed my Hx2750 (WM5 english versionby HP) with kozhura's rom. The steps is :
1. Clear reset the hx2750 (Press Calendar, power and message button). While still press those button, lightly press reset button with stylus.
2. Sync it with your computer using craddle / data cable
3. Take out your ipaq from the craddle. Press contact + itask button + reset button. Your ipaq will come to bootloader. Put it on the craddle.On the bottom left it will show usb connection. Press calendar button. Now at the bottom left it will show USB.
4. Run the HPRUU from the rom (misar's / Kozhura's). Your ipaq will begin flashing.
5. Do the clean reset once more and your pda will be ready to use
Hope this 'll help.

I flashed succesfully my hx 2490b with the aku 3.5.2 rom. Necessary was to download the sp32408 rom from:
_ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp32001-32500/sp32408.exe
run it and when I saw this screen:
to go to the directory that the RUU utility extract its files( usually c:\ipaq\sp32408) and replace and overwrite the nbf file with this from aku 3.5.2 rom(before must rename the nbf file with the name of sp32408 nbf file)
The other steps is as described before.

bug report:
I flashed the 3.52 AKU rom and found that the activesync of exchange server is unavailable.
When you press finish in latest step of setting up the exchanger server, the setting will never been saved.

Hi Guys.
Thanks for your update, Do you think the following will work on the new ROM
a) WiFi
b) A2DP
c) Sync over Exchange Server
d) Credent Biometric Finger print reader (cause I have hx2795)
Also how much memory left once you flash the ROM, is it faster than the HP ROM ?

English ROM for Samsung i780?

I have managed to get hold of a Samsung i780 but from Italy ... problem is it obviously is operating in Italian rather than English and I understand now I can't change the language as you can on Smartphone verus Professional.
Does anyone have an English ROM / firmware I can install? Even Orange branded would be better at this point!
Help much appreciated.

Spoke to Samsung today .... and it would appear that the rumours are true and that no -one including Samsung know how to perform hard reset !!
They also confirmed they would not be able to flash update the ROM to UK version for me .... GREAT !!!
I have located a friendly forum member who has a UK working version and is happy to dump the ROM .... but we don't know how to ....
Can anyone help in a step by step approach to dumping ROM and then creating a flashable version I can use?

Stephen, you are not alone. Although I have succeeded in switching mine as I have told you before from korean to English but today a poor friend of mine bought 3 units …. Unlike mine they came in Italian …… none of our attempts came thru with an English interface. Lets us know what to do case you succeed in anything.

Windows Mobile Professional is only ever delivered in 1 language unlike the standard versions. Your only change is to load a English rom onto the device.

has anyone snatched the nice today screen from the preview youtube video a while ago? i have a UK Orange i780 but would love the cool today page they showed off.

I now have another now UK i780 ...can someone provide me a step by step guide to dump the ROM and create a flashable version?

I have numbered your statements... would be easier for me to answer:
1. BULL****! - Hard Reset is done with the code, not with the keypress as in HTC devices and the code is all over the web... it is the same code as for older SS devices i.e. *2767*3855# You type this in from the main screen and voila... device restarts after hard resetting. Be careful though... the code activates as soon as you press #... no confirmation question or prompt.
2. Bull**** again... they definitely can reflash your device to any ROM version they wish... the question is if they are willing to
3. Well... definitely possible... but how to do it??
4. Dunno anything about this.

I extracted the 4 raw files of the english rom.
I extracted the the files from part.002 in a dump file and used pkgtools to rebuild the OS to SYS and OEM.

i downloaded the files but how can i install the new ROM.
thanks in advanced.
p.s how can i extract the actual ROM in german, cz i belive some one maybe will need it.

Use the tools on this site. It was made for hermes, but it works for the i780 too. I extracted mine with these tools.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
I have managed to extract the rom to Part00.raw, part01.raw, part02.raw and part03.raw.
I have managed to extract part02.raw to a dump file.
I have managed to rebuild the dump file with "pkgtools.exe" to get to files in the dump file, SYS and OEM
Tonight when I get home, I am going to take some quick lessons on a program called PERL found on this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoExtractImgfs
And I will let everone know about my progress

thx man.
i will reply after and i will give you the location of the original ROM in german for people who will need it.

please, let us all post our findings, so we can help eachother to get a working rom.

now i will extract the german one witch is default in my i780.
i will speak today even with a friend from Romania, he's tehnical on Orange,maybe he can "steel" for me an Orange english version for i780.

Are better yet, maybe he can explain to you, how to rebuild the rom and make it into a .bin file, so we can flash the rom using the Mirageloader.
Please try and I will do my research further on getting wm6.1 to our extracted files...

ya sure, this evening after work i will call him in Romania to see if is able to help me.

You see, sometimes, with this ROM, some of my hardware buttons (including the D-pad) refuse to work. But, whenever it happens, a simple soft reset sorts it out. I suppose you already tried that, right?
The next step, prior to reflashing, would be to perform a hard reset. By doing a hard reset, you'll lose all your data, and the device will return to its factory defaults. If you don't want to loose your data and settings, back them up beforehand, to be restored afterwards. I know of two full backup applications: SpriteBackup (the one I use), and SpbBackup. Besides, there is a very useful (and free) application which backs all your PIM up: PPCPimBackUp. Just search for it here at xda-developers.
To perform it by software means, tap on Start > Settings > System tab > Master Clear. It can be done by a combination of hardware keys too: press and hold both the blue Fn and the green Call buttons, and, at the same time, press the reset pin with the stylus pen (some people here replace the reset pin by pressing the Power button at the same time as the other keys, and it seems to work). A white screen will come up asking for confirmation.
If you still happen to have problems after performing a hard reset, then try to reflash. One of the steps of the flashing process will require you to enter the ROM lock code. If you bought your device with its original box, the ROM lock code is printed on a stick in it. Otherwise, you'd have to contact i-mate's support. The links on the 1st post seem to be dead, but the mirror ones on the 2nd post are still working. Just download the zip file which has '9502' in its name, unpack it to anyware you want on your PC, connect your device to it through the USB cable, and make sure ActiveSync is running. Then, double-click on the unpacked EUM SFX exectutable file and follow the steps.
Good luck!

Besides, there is a very useful (and free) application which backs all your PIM up: PPCPimBackUp. Just search for it here at xda-developers.
To perform it by software means, tap on Start > Settings > System tab > Master Clear. It can be done by a combination of hardware keys too: press and hold both the blue Fn and the green Call buttons, and, at the same time, press the reset pin with the stylus pen (some people here replace the reset pin by pressing the Power button at the same time as the other keys, and it seems to work). A white screen will come up asking for confirmation.
If you still happen to have problems after performing a hard reset, then try to reflash. One of the steps of the flashing process will require you to enter the ROM lock code. If you bought your device with its original box, the ROM lock code is printed on a stick in it. Otherwise, you'd have to contact i-mate's support. The links on the 1st post seem to be dead, but the mirror ones on the 2nd post are still working. Just download the zip file which has '9502' in its name, unpack it to anyware you want on your PC, connect your device to it through the USB cable, and make sure ActiveSync is running. Then, double-click on the unpacked EUM SFX exectutable file and follow the steps.
Good luck!

Dear Carlos,
Really appreciated for your kind guiding!
As what you guided, i am on the way to follow it, and some more stupid questions need to through more:
1. I am having SpriteBackup v6.0.2 Build 2065, is this the lasted ver up to now? And does it back up all PM registered as before?
2. What is Reflashing? of course i have Rom lockcode now
3. Run ActiveSync 4.5 from PC and also activate Sync function on 9502, right?
Thank you and best regards, waiting for you reply soon too!

1. Mine was 6.2.2 Build 2280. It was newer than yours, but, from your question, I've just gone to www.spritemobile.com and found version 6.5.4.16 there. I'm presently installing it,
2. Reflashing is the process of updating the ROM on your device. For all recent i-mate devices, the EUM SFX application running on your PC will require the ROM lock code to procceed.
3. You must have ActiveSync installed on your PC. Its mobile version will automatically run on your device when you connect it to your PC. They will comunicate with each other in order to synchronize your PIM, media and other files you'll specify the first time they are connected.
Cheers!

Can anyone upload that ROM for me?

You can find the English v01.77 WM6.1 ROM mirrored here, the Arabic one (with the same build and version) here, and the Italian v01.42 WM6.0 one here.
Hope one of them can fit your new device...
Enjoy!

Hey there,
Just a quick question. I've been looking for the WM6.0 English since quite sometime now but no luck.
Could you guide me where I could find the WM6.0 for 9502? If there is a custom version also I don't mind trying it.
Also would like to know if there is a WM6.5 version released for imate Ultimate 9502?
Thanks.

The stock WM6.0 ROM was really buggy. No wonder why i-mate hasn't made it available at their website. However, if you really plan to downgrade your device, I don't see other option than learning italian beforehand.
Regarding WM6.5, I'd like to flash it too, but, unfortunately, I don't know any cooked WM6.5 buids for our devices.
Sorry for not being able to help you any further...
Cheers!

In theory, you should press and hold 3 keys: the blue Fn, the green Send, and the Power buttons at the same time. When you release them, a white screen should come up asking for confirmation. You should confirm with the left softkey.
Nevertheless, the last time I tried it didn't work for me as such. I had to replace the Power button by the reset pin, i.e. it worked only when I pressed and held both the blue Fn and the green Send buttons, and, at the same time, I pressed the reset pin with the stylus pen. At the moment I released the buttons, the screen confirmation came up.
Good luck!
Carlos
