IPAQ Data Messengers - newbie needs help! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I managed to get my hands on a couple of old Data Messenders, but I'm not having any luck upgrading the firmware on them. The Product ID for them is FA123T#ABA - I'm a newbie, so correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK that's basically something that describes the configuration - does it have a cam, how much memory, etc. - is that right? So if I can get an image from a unit with a different product ID, (HP site has updates, but nothing for a unit with my ID) do I risk bricking the unit, or is it more likely just that there might be something that doesn't work right? I'd come across a tool called Bootloader_GUI.exe on a PDA site that seemed to possibly be something that might work, it at least understands to look for *.nbf files, but it doesn't want to flash my phones. Any other tools out there that'd let me update my firmware? What I'm running does have some glitches (voice mail icon never dissapears despite getting the message) and if I'm not mistaken there's improvements for battery life.
Here's the version info from asset viewer:
Version
Product Revision Level :
ROM Date : 2008-08-03
ROM Revision : 0.30.15-484-WWE
Extended ROM Version :
OS Version : 6.1
Bootloader Version : 1757
XIP Version : 1.0.0.0
I've attached the whole thing as an attachment.

OK, now I'm even more motivated to get the ROM in these units upgraded - I was able to get TomTom running on a model with a newer ROM version (12/08) with the same setting that don't work on this one. If I can't tweek the product id to let the latest from hp on them, can anyone walk me through dumping the newer ROM to sd, and how to load it onto the older machines. I've googled looking for how to put the units into boot loader mode, no joy. Did find something for a USB composite mode here in the "iPAQ Data Messenger - Anyone working on a WM6.5 ROM" thread, I'll try it when I get home.
Help!!!

Still looking for a way to upgrade these units - I remember on some older iPaqs that you could start the upgrade without power plugged into the iPaq, then when it complained, swap some files, and plug in power, and the upgrade would complete - anyone know the details for how that works and if there's a way to use the same trick? I suppose it could connect using bluetooth, but I'm a bit leary of flashing via bt. Anyone? Bueler?

ayuda....
hola, oye tengo el mismo id de la hp ipaq data messenger pero quiero actualizarla y me pregunto si tu ya conseguiste eso, pues aun no encuentro la manera de ponerlo en modo bootloader sera k me puedes ayudar?

I have a xda2i and i downloaded the custom rom XDA-developers-SER-v12

Acid... also have included screen shots of the errors
Are you sure, that you have a XDA IIi? These ROM is just for the Wallaby (XDA I) device (Modell PW10).
If you have a Wallaby device, than your installed ROM prohibit flashing via EXE. You have to use SD-Card-flashing via Bootloader.....
Search the Forum and/or wiki, how to do this....

Vista and rom update

Could someone please explain how I can update my rom to WM6 with vista? I found some procedures but got the impression that they became simpler in time but after reading a lot I can't find it back.
Or is there no simple way under vista. If there is I think a lot of users will be interested.
thanks

thanks!
But it didn't solve my problem allso under xp I keep getting the message that the upload utility is corrupt and it immediately goes to 100%. On the pda I am in the bootloader so all the connecting goes well.
I unlocked the sim and tested this by using another sim and phoning with it.
I allso cannot believe that the O2 rom that I try to install that is in this forum is corrupt.
BTW I hope that
- Connectez le PDA au PC, attendez qu'il soit connecté à Activsync (Gestionnaire pour appareils Windows Mobile sous Vista)".
means that I can use the vista mobility centre instead of active sync?
Do I have to change something there?
The error is
ERROR[270] : UPDATE ERROR
The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility.
Ok, it worked but only with the rom that is given on that french site.
Or probably did something wrong.
Thnx!

micro SDHC in Artemis/P3300/Orbit

Hi all
I have an Orbit from O2 and would like to use a 4GB micro SDHC card
It seems though that this is not supported with the below ROM set!
Is there a way to use 'HC' type SD cards without going though the whole system ROM upgrade route?
This Orbit is still new and I am concerned about breaking warranty if I go with a new ROM upgrade
Regards
ROM Version: 3.4.206.2.WWE

Protocol Version: 4.1.13.28

Well there is a SDHC driver Cab which can be found here....
OK I didnt found the Link to the original thread so I provide the driver Cabs i used. Youll find them attached.
Just Install the SDHC-driver.cab to your device - then SOFTRESET - and you are done.
In the zip file you'll find a Cab included which installs the old Drivers back to your device. There should be no harm done to your P3300 by those SDHC-drivers.

Many thanks ........ !!
But do you know if these work with WM5?
Kind Regards

Thanks for the link, it's appreciated.
Unfortunately still no definitive answer on WM5 though. Shame, I could really do with using something bigger than 2Gb.

Sounds like you forgot to use USPL first. Read the sticky at the top of the Artemis forum.

If phone bricked can't run USPL at all.Because USPL just work in Active Sync PPC to PC
Correct, and if you don't find the original ROM, no way for you to unbrick the mobile...
You should be able to use imei-check's unlocker though right? This will remove the super-cid and allow you to flash any carrier's rom.
I contacted with the repair service and now I know which is the original version Installed in my artemis
Imagen Software: 3.13.412.1
Imagen Extendida: 4.1.13.44
Imagen Radio: 02.94.90

Think i need that file to, same issue pls hilfe

A few questions of a HX2490b owner

Hi everybody, I'm new on the pda's world.
I already have a HP iPaq model hx2490b with Windows 5.0, and I wanna upgrade to Windows 6.5. I'm spanish, and I have the Spiaatie's version of windows mobile 6.5 in spanish language. Until here all good. In theory, it's too easy to install the 6.5 version. But when I push the buttons for bootloader mode (iTask + agenda + reset button), the Pda screen turns slowly white, then, slowly, a darks lines vertically appears. I think that in the bootloader mode must appear letters or something, or not? What can I do?.
Another question is that yesterday I was bored and I prove to install the 6.5 version without the bootloader mode. The upgrade begin and, in 0.1% appears a error:
"ERROR 608: Coult not initialize device.
RUUClientDriver.dll Coult not initialize this device.
This may not be the correct dll for this iPAQ Pocket PC and this NBF file.
Click Cancel to quit."
I prove everything and I don't know what can I do more. Some help, please? Thanks very much, and sorry for my bad english.
anyone can help me? please..
I'm sure that it will be take one minute of your time :/
So, if you're spanish, I'm gonna write spanish...
Tenés que apretar el botón Calendario para que la PDA se conecte con la PC, si no hacés eso luego de entrar en modo bootloader, no podrás actualizar.
