Flashing the Radio / modem on ipaq 614 - first ideas

Hi,
Hp just released an update for the 614, only for englisch.
I have a german 614
I dont care about the OS part since I use a cooked 6.1.
But the update also contains a modem / radio update to version 0.88.
Currently out there i think there are 0.77 and 0.81 depending on language.
I believe the radio fw is language independent when it comes to functionality. But the hpruu says wrong language.
With the current universal hpruu tools you can only update the OS which is of no use.
I know you can update the radio by booting with the key combination:
lower left key on the side (record button) and the camera button.
Then turn on ... it shows : SD loader for modem
(similar on how you update the OS)
I also know that the radio update files are in the update.
They are called
amss.mbn
amsshd.mbn
maybe also partition.nbf
But I am not sure about this.
It might work with just copying the file to a non HC SD card and using the key combination.
There might be some file renaming involved.
I someone out there to try that and let us know how it worked ?!
Thanks

hi, imho theoreticaly you can update
1) .mbn files with qualcomm loader(SD Loader for modem) iam tryied it but no luck , .mbn files from hp 1.01.04 update have bad format not usefull for flashing from sd card :/
2) .nbf files from eboot loader(SD Loader), no luck bad format too :/
other way you can use QPST tools from Qualcomm or QC BS Firmware Analyzer(avaliable on xda forum)
small how-to connect ipaq614c for using with this tools
1) put ipaq to modem mode (push ML and power on)
2) connect ipaq to pc
3) install MotoQdrivers.zip (dont forget to adjust speed for COM ports)
i have included Qualcomm MSM6280 loader for QPST - NPRG6280.ZIP (ipaq 614 have this chip for radio)
sorry for this chaotic text i hope that is usefull

Saxon,
File partition.nbf is for IpaqFileStore update.
Maybe you should try with the following way:
- extract the whole package from HP side
- remove from the obtained directory the OS file (the larger one)
- put your device into SDloader state (voice recorder + mute + power on)
- connect your device into PC via USB
- launch RUU utility
In my opinion there is a big chance it will work.
Such way (using the SDloader) was working for one polish case where the upgrade of firmware failed due to PC crash. The only chance to flash again was to use SDloader + HP tool.
Good luck.

I used the qpst already and it worked that way that i could upgrade but phone didnt boot afterwards. so i am very careful with this tool now.
I am just wondering why your sd loader (the OS image) update didnt work. because i had no probs with it so far. also from the hp orig files.
did you try the qpst update ???
if yes did it work if yes can you send a step by step ?
thx a lot

hi , try my patched ROMUpdate.dll mayby it could help , i dont try QPST because i have succesfully update my 614c with hpruu utility --> http://rapidshare.com/files/139300161/ROMUpdate.dll.html

did you also try the cooked wm6.1 os on it already ? does it work with the new fw0.88 ?
thanks !

yes, when i update fw i reflashed my own 6.1 based on yevg001 v1.4 and works ok

29 Jul 2008 release on HP Official Site HP iPAQ 612c WM 6.0en OS 1.01.04 FW 0.88
HOW TO USE:
1. Download the FILE to a directory on your hard drive.
2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the ROM update files to a directory. (NOTE: This directory should not contain any file or folder from any previous ROM upgrade)
3. Establish an ActiveSync connection between the iPAQ device and the host PC using a USB connection.
4. The ROM Update Utility (hpRUU.exe) starts automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the ROM upgrade.
NOTE: Once the update is complete, the FILE downloaded in Step 1 can be deleted, if desired
Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=a65dc2a6e56aea29d2db6fb9a8902bda

Thats correct
But thats for english devices.
I have a german one where it doesnt work, and I am looking for a workaround.
Any suggestions ?

Get Hp Sp38905.exe http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...swLang=18&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=hh-59339-1
Use winrar to unpack it.
You'll find an Eboot.nbf. This Eboot.nbf is language and SKU id independent.
Replace the file header of all .nbf files from hp 1.01.04 update by the header of this Eboot.nbf file.
The header is just the first 3424 bytes of .nbf files.
You do not need to change .mbn files.
Then you can run Hpruu.exe to update. The file names shown during updates are wrong, but results are right.

@kkwy
And what if, like in my case, sp38905 is reporting the same error.
product id: FB136AA#ABB

Just try to find one .nbf file that you can flash.
Then replace header file with the header file of that .nbf file.
The header seems to be useless (solely for checking) so you can replace then at will.

@ Z!L0G80
Yes, It works.
Thanx

Sucess!!
Now I have os 1.01.04, fw 0.88.
It takes a long time for radio firmware to flash, but, be patient.
Thanx again Z!L0G80

Thanx Z!L0G80's
It works for me to on the Dutch 614.
Strange thing is, that in de system config it stil says Dutch version of the mobile device (but it's UK now).
Very nice again.

ok great .... works ! thanks a lot !
would it also work with the 914 ? anybody tried ?
thx

My PDA already came with 1.01.04, fw 0.88 Rom, however I used the HP rom update utility to see if the rom would update without issues.
The rom update worked fine, however unfortunately something annoying is happening with this rom update. Now every time I try to do a clean boot, the first time the PDA turns on, after marking the screen, it would try to do some HP software update and right after the update I am forced to do a Reset, then I can use the PDA.
Previously I didn't have to do this, when I did a clean boot, the pda worked straight away after marking the screen, and I wouldn't need to reset it.
I think the reason for this maybe because this rom comes with extended rom, is there anyway of taking it back the way it was, or getting rid of the extra applications like the streaming player
This is the Rom I used
Type: BIOS
Version: 1.01.04 (22 Jul 2008)
Operating System(s): Microsoft Windows Mobile 6
File name: sp40097.exe (53 MB)
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...3048-1&prodTypeId=215348&prodSeriesId=3544358
Am I the only one experiencing this issue, is there another rom that doesn't do this?
Thanks

anyone tried Sd loader modem with success?
what if the Activesycn not work?
I have tried copy the amss** files on SD, then sd loader modem. And wait so long time, 2 hours, and stay with the screen "write amsshd.mbn". I dont think it is working.
Anyone tried ?

Build wince 6.0 and flash it

I dont like windows mobile because it differs from pc-version windows?
and there is no version of wm, based on wince6 - all are based on 5.2 which limits memory usage for process to 32mb
So i've built wince 6 with skd from ms site.
and i want to flash my device with it
i have 2 files - eboot.bin and nk.bin
when i am trying to flash, using nk.nb0 - flashrom says, that this is some kind of junk.. or smth1ng like this, because its format differs from one, that used in exsisting firmwares.
when i am trying to flash, using eboot.bin (ethernet bootloader)
FlashROM says that it will not flash because this is wrong bootloader and so on..
i've heard letters "jtag" but i dont know what is it and how to use it..
i have no idea how to do this.. could anyone help?
P.S.: PPC is AsusP750 with PXA270 cpu (ARMv4)

i think it will be easy to handle with drivers and other stuff like this
the main purpose is to flash and boot it.
tnx in advance

and only silence was the answer...

you might do better for support on this over at ppcgeeks.

Sorry for the display of my ignorance, but I do not know what the following means -
>After flash:

What do I have to do, please. I know about aligning sreen, but "make HR" and "run ExtROM, please make SR !" does not mean anything to me.
Thank you for your help

HR = Hard Reset (Push Camera Button + Voice Record and Resetbutton. Change the values KILT = NO, the rest yes. Change the values with die Voicerecord and Camerabutton. When finish Press the Mailbutton
ExtRom= Mostly runs automati when this folder is on your storage card, there are some extra programs for windows.
SR = Softreset (Press the reset Button with the Stylus)

How to dual boot my HTC HD2

I downloaded the android build [BUILD]UPD(27.11.2010)MCCM SE V3.4(FroyoStone Sense)[kernel hastarin r8.5] I just wanted to know how to get this thing to dualboot up? Any help would be appreciated?

search for JMZ dual boot. install it to the phone in windows, its a cab file. reset the HD2 and it should boot to an option screen saying Android on top and windows on bottom.
Cheers...

OK, I downloaded that file to my computer, but I need help with getting it on my phone from windows mode??? Can someone help me with that plz?

Ok got the files on my phones HD still wont dual boot? Do I need to put the files in a certain folder?

Just download one of the roms from the android developement thread, copy the android to the root of the sd card.
Then use jmz dual boot,should work

You have copied the JMZ cab file to your phone , but have you installe it? just use file explorer to file cab file and click on it to install. then reboot.

Ok so I got the boot loader installed, I get the dual boot screen but cant do anything with it and it ends up loading windows. I am a noob ath this, can someone help me with the issue?

ok I got it but now when the screen comes up with android and windows the time out runs backwords -1, -2, -3 and so on...... What is up?

[Q] HD2 LEO T8585 Clone - bootloader corrupted

I flash this phone with a wrong image, and now only a black screen appear.
Is impossible to make any key combination to get to the "download screen" ?
If I try to connect it via ActiveSync, fail, nor with K3firstAid. The only thing I recognize is the Huawei PC COM port. Appears only slightly illuminating the display, and nothing more.
I pray all the masters of this kind of cell phone to tell me that there is salvation, and if so, let me explain the process the "resurrection". (excuse the Google translation)
Thanks in advance

If it's not a true HTC phone then there is nothing that can be done for it here.

No, not a real HTC, a Chinese copy of it. I've seen on this forum that many people have problems with these phones, so I thought that there is someone who will help me.

My guess is that your fake HD2 uses a different bootloader than the real one. Most issues with the HD2 can be undone, so long as the bootloader is intact. Screw up the bootloader and your phone is done for. Also these ROMS are built for the HD2's hardware and drivers. Your phone may look like somewhat like an HD2, but the similarities stop there. Should have bought a real HD2.

Why you want to flash a fake HD2 with a genuine HD2 ROM in the first place is beyond me.......

I have not upgraded to the real HTC firmware, but with the wrong Chinese ROM, I accidentally made a flash from the model T5353, which does not comply, we reported the error at the 80% upgrade, is that I damaged the boot and communicate with the PC. Now I found the original ROM, all the tools we need to upgrade properly, but we need help to restore the PC communication, how to ActiveSync or any similar applications to recognize? Here are its hardware, you might be helpful:
· Operating system: Windows Mobile 6.5
· CPU: 520MHz Hisilicon-K3
· RAM: 256M, ROM: 256M, extend to 16GB max
· 4.3 inch touch screen, WVGA PX: 480 * 800

You technically don't have an HD2, as the hardware in your phone is COMPLETELY different.
So if you're looking for a definitive answer here, you probably won't get one, as there's very little relation between your phone and the real HD2.

Your pretty much screwed. Only option is to jtag, or move on.

Hello,
Recently I made a wrong flash ROM, and then I managed to turn on the mobile. I'm desperate and I hope you can help. After I returned from service, he could not do anything, I tried something at home. Basically, when I connect to the PC via USB, recognize it as a "new device", then install the IDT, then my PC recognizes it as "Huawei USB COM 1.0, COM port 7. The problem is that it constantly resets, and so at times he appears in the "Device Manager" and loses again. When he somehow managed to stabilize the relationship with the PC, you probably could I make a flash ROM via IDT. The IDT recognizes it, even after it lost 3 seconds. Obviously not a hardware problem.
Thank you so much in advance

There are pictures of my cell phone inside, and please if you know the pins for JTAG, mark them, perhaps it can solve the problem. Thank you very much

Hi me too using china clone HD2 same as your.
So i have use the method before you can copy the .bin file into a micro sd card and reboot your HD2 with below step.
1) switch off the phone.
2) format the Micro SD card to fat 32.
3) copy and paste the rom .bin into the card.
4) input the card into the phone.
5) hold volume key -and+ and switch on your phone.
6) i will start to boot into the SD card.

only hold green and red button(answer and disconnec button) and switch on the phone .the phone will restore factory setting without any bin or flash file .

Just buy another clone, OP. I dont think there's enough resource available (other than some xda china portal) to fix an HD2 knock off simply because they dont have the same hardware & software as official HTC ones.
