Hi... I'm trying to revive my boss's iPAQ 610.
I readed all the information related to bricked 6xx here and here.
With this info, I can boot the phone loading almost any win mobile, but the sim card never works. When I try the Hpruu last update from HP, the process always freezes at 50% in the radio firmware step (I leave the computer all night trying, changing the configure.ini, but nothing happened).
I discovered that you can delete files from HP update, to install just the parts of the update you like: I made a custom radio update just leaving amss.mbn, amsshd.mbn and PARTITION.NBF, deleting all *.nbf files. It still freezes at 50%.
The DNW.exe software works fine, but I don't know how to make a radio update with this method. ¿Any flash.dio file somewhere?
Then I tryied the SDloader method, but don't know how to load the radio update.
Then i found this post, related to firmware radio update and "Download Qualcomm image mode" and I downloaded QPST 2.7, but I don't know how to make the update this way. I can't find more info related.
I got an USB cable, a 2GB Kingston micro SD card, a card reader and a lot of time
If i can fix the phone my reward is the iPAQ self.
All ideas are welcome.
Greetings from Chile
You say latest from HP. You mean 0.89 firmware?
As i remember, you should first upgrade to 0.88, then to 0.89
Try this one from HP link
My phone's fw is v0.81.
I tryied the v0.88 radio update from the English package, using a custom romupdate.dll to avoid language error, and it freezes at 50%. I tryied the Asia-Pacifico update and the same happened.
Thanx for the idea.
disable firewall and antivirus
I dissabled Nod 32 and Windows Firewall, and is still freezes at 50%.
Also tryied normal and advanced USB mode.
Also tryied the v0.89 update directly.
Did you tried to update in Windows XP, not Vista or 7 ?
Windows XP Sp3
Try this one.
If it dont work, have no ideas what else to suggest.
Maybe keyx know something
i got the same problem as you do, when i update it using the hp update tool its stuck at 42%, winxp sp3. tried everything also from reinstalling active sync etc. etc. but it didnt help, what i did, i used a different computer, for some reason it went thru, I was able to successfully update it to 0.89 hope this helps.

I tried at home and 2 PC at office. Maybe the problem is the "Unattended WINXP SP3" version. I'll try the update on other computers.
Thanx.
I can confirm this thing too. I updated my iPAQ 614 with my laptop using Windows 7 a few months ago. Last month I tried again a few times, but no luck (at 50% it dies). When I tried with my desktop computer that has Windows 7 also, it worked. Maybe it has something to do with the USB power or voltage...
Could it be the 2GB microSD card?
Try using smaller capacity, format as FAT-32
Update Radio using microSD
It's posible to upgrade Radio of an ipaq 614c using the microSD similar to ROM update?
The problem I have is my usb port on my 614c is broken.
I'm stuck with FW 0.77
Thanks

I just tried WM2003 and came back to SER 1.2 without problems - I was told it's not possible without SD card. Am I so lucky?
Funny, I did the very same thing before reading it couldn't / shouldn't be done, makes me think though, what if it had all gone wrong!!!!!!
For those who have tried the WM2003, please advise me whether it's worth my risk (I'm still indecisive) :?
Just tried to upgrade from 1st version of WME2003 to the latest using the upgrade utility, no go. Goes into upgrade mode on PC & PPC, then progress bar screen on PPC goes to white, a few minutes later a error pop-up on PC telling me to reset & run utility again. When I do so same problem. I'm just curious what version on Activesync are you running & on OS on the Desktop
Thanks

Hey Erick,
I had the same problem with the 1st version of WM2003. I was unable to do the upgrade with the utility. It would seem like the version 4.00.01 of WM2003 is far more mature in terms of this sort of functionality. For example, ActiveSync would not connect with the device in standby. This is not the case in the new version of 2003 which goes to show that maybe some processes were not running.
Going by what I experienced with the older WM2003, I did not try an RUU flash to test if the newer version worked, but I won't be surprised if it does. I was running ActiveSync 3.7 with WinXP Pro.
Thanks Sheran. So I guess it's SD card time This is an ActiveSync problem not an OS problem? What do you think? SD card should work right?
The reason I'm suggesting ActiveSync is I am unable to use any ROM utility to flash any ROM version now, which I was able to do before i.e. SERv1.1.
I believe I had the previous version of ActiveSync back then & now ActiveSync freaks-out when I try to use the upgrade utility for any ROM.

I'm thinking this has more to do with the WM2003 1st version (3.04 build 13083) OS rather than your PC OS or even your ActiveSync. I think the reason some people can use the ROM Upgrade Utility is because they are running the newer version of WM2003 (Ver 4.00.01 build 13100) which seems to work well with ActiveSync.
Unfortunately if you install the older version, until I'm told otherwise, the only way to get out of it is to do an SD Card flash.
Thanks again Sheran I tend to use the SD method, wanted to not have to wait for two write processes. Oh well back to the tried and true method, for now 8)
I was running the newer version (build 13100)
Activesync 3.7, Windows XP Proffesional
hi to everyone,
about a year ago, i patched thr spl...now is 2.13.0000. Yesterday i tried to install to my imate jamin (s200) the new qtek s200 italian rom. The process start successfully and cheked the version. When the phone reboot itself and shows the bootscreen, he program said that there was error 260 and cannot continue; on the phone screen reamin the boot section. When i try to rebbot, it works, but in this way i cannot update my phone. How i can solve this??
i use windows vista and windows mobile device center 1.0 version; also, i used on innotek virtual machine, windows xp with activesync 4.5I would like to inform you, if you can help, theat about a month ago i sent my phone to the assistence because the audio didn't work (is it possible that the assistence did something that block the update??
thanks and please help!!
on the bootscreen, compares RUU on the right-up side,ipl 2.13,spl 2.13 and (all writes are in the red section) and usb on the left-bottom side (on white background)! that's all, i think i've said everything...please HELP!!!
THE PROBLEM IS THAT PROPHET CANNOT CONNECT AT USB IN BOOTLOADER
i've tried, also, to use camera + softreset and when reboot the writes RUU disappear, but still not recognize on usb when in bootloader.
Someone can solve this problem? please....
your problem is vista!
use native windows xp and not VMWare or some Virtual Computer!
have the same strange errors if i flash with vista.
how you have flash your ipl to 2.13??
i used the pdamobiz...i think my ipl was 2.15.0000, and after downgrade, it becomes 2.13.0000. Sound strange? So, do you think the problem is vista and the VM? but i read in this forum that lots of people flash hos phone using xp on virtual machine....but you mean that in vista if you plug the phone (botloader) in to computer, windows doesn't recognize it?
i havent test "win xp vm" on a "vista host". my work laptop has vista and i cant update any rom/firmware. vmware use the host system and his driver to route the usb device. possible the usb-subsystem in vista is changed to much ;-)
test it ... if work ... ok ... we can debug it!
SOLVED
SOLVED! I flashed the prophet on "real" xp. Now my spl changed to 2.20.000 and ipl remain at 2.13.0000. I have another question: if i flashthe phone with one rom of wm6 (which is better?or which is the rom with less bugs?), can i reflash with a wm5 rom without problem?
thanks in advance and thanks for your advice!!

Hi,
What ROM are you using now ? Normally, if you install AS 4.5, it will wait for a PPC to connect and then make a new profile etc. Unless something went wrong with your ROM-update.
For the latest ROM from HP, look here
Dirk
try using another usb-cable
Hi everyone,
I offer you a safe way to recover your bricked ipaq or just change language into English.
I use the lastest official english ROM download on Hp website.
I saw some members have the ideal to patch the ROMupdate.dll to bypass the check the language of the phone ipaq 61x.
It means that we can update the phone with any languages.
I do exactly the same with Ipaq 91x.
So I upload the file for you.
Just download, extract and run hpRUU.exe
Follow the instruction and after about 20m.
You have the phone
P.S: I used this method to change my phone language from Italian to English successful. And recovery my friend's bricked phone.
But notice that I'm NOT responsibility for any damage with your phone.
Good luck
Download the rom here
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jyzy00y2yal
Good job, thanks!
Will try it out later!
is it still compatible even though my device SKU IDs is not compatible with the update?
Last time i tried i almost bricked my device.
In theory, yes
Actually, like I wrote above.
My ipaq 914c is Italian version.
It means that the SKU IDs of the phone is not not compatible with the update. ( I mean the official update!)
But we all know that there is no difference in the hardware between the ipaq 91x.
So any language ROM versions can be used on the another ipaq 91x phone.
=> WWE ROM can be used on any Ipaq 91x phone.
My Ipaq now is in English. But the SKU IDs still show that it's in Italian.
By the way, I forget to thank: Z!L0G80.
i just tried to update my 912c using HP update utility that i downloaded from mediafire.
but it failed it gave me Code 402 : Cannot Communicate with device. and the device stuck at boot screen with RUU... on top of the screen.
- i already Hardreset the device
- i'm using Benjaminries Motherload ROM
- i'm using Windows XP
please tell is there somethings wrong?
i really want to try the update. should i try using SDbootloader? can you helping find some solution?
many thx

Hi,
As it was given like that, I think you should check the usb cable. Sometimes the cable is not working well. I use the original cable, because the last time I use another there was an error when it was flashing. (I'm not sure if the active syn is necessary. In my case, I have the active syn on my laptop. XP enviroment.)
If you want to try the SDBootloader you can find in this forums some instructions about cutting some bytes to obtain the flashdio.nb0
But I really don't recommend that way. Because the last time when I find the way to change the language by flashing the english Rom following those instruction. My phone was bricked. So I tried to find another way.
And this is it.
I think this method is the safest way for newbie. As I wrote above. The first time I bricked my phone. But I did the same procedure again. And it worked.
Just check the procedure again.
Good luck,
For the SDloader update (Which works very very well on my German 914c):
download the file below (I already cut the first 3432 bytes from it), put it on a newly formatted SD-card (not SDHC!) and hold down volumeup+OK button (the one on the right side) while pushing the reset button, hold the mentioned sidebuttons until you see SDloader. Then wait for a few minutes, and the update will finish!
If the updater does not find the file, you have to re-format the SD-card to either FAT or FAT32!
Rename the file to FLASH.DIO when you copy it onto the SD-card!

Hi Everybody,
@vdragon
1- what a great job, guy!
2- in reality, i have already flashed your ROM successfully for my ipaq 914c, which is a native italian version. Since the incompatibilites of different versions were resolved perfectly.
3-Grazie tanto di nuovo
I'm pretty new with this and I've been trying to update my 910 with original ROM but for some reason it gets stuck and the only way to bring it back is with a SDLoader I downloaded from here but that one is very simple and I'd like one with all the programs.
Is there a way to load yours on it through the SD card?
you can follow the instruction to cut the 3432 bytes and flash your phone with SD card.
I see that many people prefer to use the sdloader method than this one.
But the positive point of this method is that it updates all your firmwares include OS, WAN, Radio... to new version. Not only OS.

Are you really sure that the method of using SDloader has NOT updated Modem, Radio ...so on ?
Anybody has idea on the contrary?

Yes it is true!
Using vragon's patched Updater the following is updated:
OS (=ROM)
Bootloader
Pre-Bootloader
Radio&Modem
This update takes about 20minutes, so be patient, do not remove any cables during update!
The flashing of FLASH.DIO with an SD-card "only" updates the OS (=ROM) and is done within less than 10minutes.
Thanks vrago for patching the Romupdate.dll!
You can also see it in the bootsplash screen. Before the update (even after SDloader updates) it always showed FW 1.04.
Now it is 1.09 - and yeah, it works GREAT and quick!
I can recommend it!! (I do not take responsibility though)
Should be a sticky!!
I've been trying this file, and I get an error at 51% of update. Any ideas?
I think it's about your cable. Be sure that you use the original cable with the anti-noise hub.
If you didn't success the first time. Try it again.
Do as you did the first time.
And just be patient. Don't move anything.
The first time I used this method, at the middle of flashing, I kicked my cable and it just stopped. And I did it again carefully.
So that's it
Actually, I think I figured it out. It seems that Vista treats USB partnerships differently than XP, so after a certain amount of time, it "refreshes" the relationship with the USB device. If you are trying to flash your phone, that stops the flash/update.
I just used my XP system, and it worked fine. After a few registry tweaks for ring volume and battery life, it's working fine.
Are you really sure that the method of using SDloader has NOT updated Modem, Radio ...so on ?

I'm positive the SD Loader method isn't as thorough as this method. This method takes 20 minutes or so, and you can see that it's updating the pre-loader, modem/radio, etc. The SD method only updates software.
Problem using HP 614c from original ITA rom
I am a stupd guy
I am a stupd guy
I am a stupd guy
Hy vragon, i have used your method to upgrade my device 614c (and not 914) from an original Italian ROM. All process is ended correctly, all upgrade are finished without errors.
The update utility has made the update of that:
Software - From Version - To Version
Bootloader - 1.00.07 - 1.01.01
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional - 1.00.07 - 1.01.01
Pre-Bootloader - 1.00.07 - 1.01.01
iPAQ WAN Radio Firmware - 0.81.00 - 1.09.00
But after the upgrade, at the end the display was black(not really black i can see the leds of the entire display are ON but das not appear nothing), and after some minutes abouth 20, i removed the battery and restart the device but nothing has changed. The led over the screen and the sound working.
I have try also to do a hard reset with a flash.dio on an SD card inserted to replace the Rom, but dose not work!
The device after that will work properly, and das not appear to have any problem.
CAN SOMWONE HELP ME !!!
@ilconte81:
just go to hp site.
find a ROM update for 614c.
download it.
using winrar to extract everything in the exe file.
copy the ROMupdate.dll from my file to replace the file in the folder which is extracted from exe file.
run the rom update again.
Tanks for reply vragon,
i have tryed to do what you wrote, but the device will not be right recognized from the OS (will appear USB device not recognized) and the update utlity after a long time in "Plese wait while the device state is verified" give the comunication error Code 402, Cannot comunicate with device.
I use the original cable and try these on different OS like Win XP and Win 7.
Hello
I've got a problem. I want to flash my ROM to WM6.5.
I connectet my Phone with Vista over USB-Port.
The ROMUpdateUtility.exe start the GUI.The phone disconnect from Vista and the Install GUI shows me after few seconds the ERROR 260, that my Phone ist not connectet.
On my Phone I see the three coulored Monitor. On the left lower site is written "USB".
I tried to hold the connection with Vista ( i startet the Camera or other Applikation ) but the same problem.
Whenever i start the ROMUpdateUtility.exe the same. Disconnect and never connect again.
What can i do, that my phone stay connectet with Vista, so the Install GUI can make his work?
thx AcidC ( and sorry for my bad english)
run artemis uspl first
remove any sd card if u have
and then try it
Hi,
we tried with and without microSD card and or sim card.
The real problem is the connection which is interrupted and doesn't rebuild.
Independent of trying to flash the WM6.5 or USPL.
Silly question, but you never know..Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed in your PC and is your device connected to it? It is the "Activesync for Vista". The three coloured screen is normal, it is called Boatloader. After that you should have a progress bar of what you are updating (rom,radio..uspl..etc) on both PC and Artemis. In my case, when i got error [260] it's always because I forget to remove the SD card. I know you already tried this but keep it away from device when you flash.Your problem is maybe about Vista Drivers for Artemis, there are threads concerning it. Before you investigate further,try to install/reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center, change USB port and flash with a freshly booted PC. Hope you'll get the magic.
P.S. USPL flash is ABSOLUTELY THE FIRST THING TO DO!
Workaround: try to flash with a PC running XP
You need RUU for vista
Ok. I tried it again, but like u said, i need USPL and WM6.5 RUUs for Vista. But can u help me? I don't find somthing :-(
I consider myself beeing quite lucky for not having needed this even if I'm on Vista,hope helps for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337097
