Did You tried to reflash the ROM?
Yes, I used:
- mtty but this soft doesn't see usb (not allowed usb in Activesync, kill some process in task manager)
- dnw is not working because the followed error is displayed "can't write dnw.ini"
So situation is not changed. Unless you know good reflashing program.
Hey

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!

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

Ok, let me see if i understand u correctly, your specs give me no new questions they look ok. U have WM5 and want to run a program (from your work) which needs WM6 (wont run on WM5). HTC told you about the official WM6 update. This wont flash as activesync crashes, right?
With an official Rom you will not need to unlock the CID/SPL with USPL. But this goes only when you stick to your current language. i.e. a german WM5 is not allowed to be flashed into english. To do this you will need to USPL-unlock it 1st.
If the language is the same, it should work. Best is to do a hard reset 1st (2 soft buttons and soft reset, wait and press green/send.) Afterwards hook it on the PC (activesync want to start a newe partnership, click cancel, so u will be connected as guest).
Start the rom upgrade. Activesync should close and bootloader on the ppc will be started. This is a screen with many colours/stripes, which is normal but looks very bad and different from normal bootup.
Then the flashing will start, the screen on the ppc will turn white/grey and a scale will show you the percentage of the flashingprocess (similar to the screen of the pc). Wait patentiently and do not toch the ppc or disconnect (or expect a bricked device).
At the end, the ppc will reboot and take a while (longer then normal bootup) to initiate the boot for the 1st time.
If this wont work, then try to extract the upload file, put the ppc in boatloader mode, connect to pc and start the romupdateutility.exe directly.
Good Luck!
hi,
i've flashed my HTC P3300 and it was done successfully (using USPL) but the language was Spanish, i searched a lot how to change it to english since i dont understand a word of it.
through one of the forums, i was told to set the SysLang = 1032 in registry to get the english language, i done so, now, the phone is stuck in Welcome (WM6.1) screen and nothing is happening, not even responding to power key.
I tried hard reset, it doesn't work, i tried entering to bootloader, it also doesn't work, also, i am not able to connect it to PC since i guess its not completed up.
Just got stuck with a brick, can you help please. Really needed!!!!!!
Thanks
Maybe flashing ROM from memory card may help. Search Artemis wiki for micro card ROM flashing.
Hello, I guess I'm having the same problem...tried to flash but something went wong and now I have my htc p3300 blocked with the multicolor screen. It does not work, so I don't understand how I could start flashing rom by memory card. Could you be a little bit more detailed? Thanks in advance

go boot loader mode before upgrade
but how do i do this?it isn`t in bootloader?(it shows a hp image up shows usb and down v1,08)
...
First important question: what upgrade did you try to do?
For iPAQ h2200 there is no cooked ROMs: WM5 or WM6x. This device can work only under branded WM2003se.
If you tried to do upgrade to any of cooked ROM like WM6.0 from different device like hx22xx by mistake, please try the following:
1. Go to HP www page and download the last available ROM upgrade (I assume English ROM)
2. Turn on iPAQ (don't carry the device doesn't boot properly) and place it to the cradle which should be connected to PC which has installed active sync software (please don't carry about lack of connection seen on active sync).
3. Run the ROM upgrade.
If you tried the HP upgrade and it stuck - just repeat them with the way described above.
Important - do not use blue tooth connection during flash !!! Only USB !!!
Good luck.
If it doesn't help I believe there is hundred of similar cases described in forums - try to search the solution there

As I understand you correctly - you restored your iPAQ into live using the last available ROM from HP site, which is WM2003 (thank you Menneisyys). The iPAQ worked fine and then you was trying to make another ROM upgrade - which ROM did you use?
I am asking because the ROM in version 1.10 is the most actual one and there is no any other ROM for this device. I assume that source of your problem is you are trying to use incorrect ROM. Correct me if I am wrong... If this is true - the solution is to restore your device into operational using the way as you did it before and stop to flashing your device - there is no another ROM to your iPAQ
the v1.10 but the problem is that after i flash the wm doesn`t start it just stay there stuck on the startup and i reflashed the device but still doesn`t start
how did u fix the stucked screen while booting? im searching for solutions for 30 mins now, but dind't find a way...
please help somebody..
ok, for those with "same" problems like me:
i have windows 7 64bit. the rom flashing wasn't successfull on this machine. i did the same on my notebook with windows xp and it worked. before it said that it couldn't find my ppc. on the notebook it wasn't a problem.
i had these installation notes found anywhere:
1.) Go to the Vendor Website, and...
2.) Select the appropriate hyperlink for your model.
3.) Download the most recent BIOS version.
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 PDA in the USB Cradle.
7.) Stop the MS ActiveSync session on your HOST PC: CTRL-ALT-DELETE > TASK MANAGER > PROCESSES.
8.) Highlight WESCOMM.EXE and select "End Process" button.
9.) Run the file you downloaded from your Vendor in step 3.
10.) The PDA should now begin Flashing the iPAQ's ROM BIOS.
i ignored step 4.)
hope that it helped somebody
Hello,
I have a big problem with my PDA...
I can't update the bios anymore.
When I try with the HP update software (in Pre-BL mode), the program can't find the real details :
(I have a french version)
=> img17.imageshack.us/img17/1297/hpupdate.jpg (sorry, can't post url because I'm new user)
The update stops at 0.1% then, the iPAQ restarts and freezes. I have to remove the battery to reboot to Pre-BL mode.
So, I tried with the universal bootloader (sourceforge.net/projects/ubl/) and when I select the rom file, the program stops at : "Status: Flashing rom to your device.. 0% Complete.".
What can I do?
Thanks for your help
I got news :
I tried to connect to the iPAQ with mtty. I have the USB option (so my iPAQ is recognized by the computer) but there is a problem : I don't have the USB or CMD prompt when I push Enter key... I can't do anything.
The window is white and there is | blanking.
So, I think the only way to repair the rom is to flash with the SD card.
What's the good way to do this ?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
Hello, I'm Frank, and I'm a little bit newbie in the PPC world XD, I have an Hx2410 that was disconnected at approx. 60% of the flashing procedure, now I cannot update it anymore. I tried to restore WM2003 (I had WM2005 anyway) but the update stops at 0.1% then, the iPAQ restarts and freezes. I have to remove the battery to reboot to Pre-BL mode. When trying any different update, the RUU shows that my iPAQ's SKU is invalid, so he won't let me update my rom.
So, I tried with the universal bootloader (sourceforge.net/projects/ubl/) and when I select the rom file, but, the program stops at : "Status: Flashing rom to your device.. 0% Complete.".
I tried to connect to the iPAQ with mtty. I have the USB option (so my iPAQ is recognized by the computer) but there is a problem : I don't have the USB or CMD prompt when I push Enter key... I can't do anything.

What can I do?
Thanks in advance
You should search before making a new thread!
Yesterday user Chameo in hx2000 WM6.5 thread wrote how to update iPAQ if it's disconnected in flashing process.
Chameo said:
I've found a solution to my bricked HX2410!
Instead of changing the ROM file before pressing the UPDATE button, I changed the iPAQ! I've started the update tool (RUU) with my second working iPAQ connected and after the device recognition finished I changed the working iPAQ with the bricked iPAQ. After pressing the UPDATE button the ROM was flashed normally.
Hope this could help anyone else in a similar situation.

So, you need another iPAQ to bring your hx2410 back to live.
And mtty / universal bootloader is only for hTC devices, hx2000 series iPAQs are made by LGE.
Hi Spiaatie, I've searched all the forum, and tried all of the solutions given, but none of them worked for me, I've already seen that post, but unfortunately, I don't have any hx2410 nor any hx2XXX ipaq at hand, because hx2000 series are very rare to find here, I'm in Argentina, my ipaq it's from outside of my country, it's from US, I guess. And I've read in the official page (h**p://sourceforge.net/projects/ubl/) and forum (h**p://forum.brighthand.com/ipaq-hx4700-series/243984-universal-bootloader-tool-flash-any-valid-rom-any-ipaq.html) that the Universal bootloader tool is for any ipaq...so that's why I mention it..
