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.

http://rapidshare.com/files/139300161/ROMUpdate.dll.html mayby now working ,try
EDIT> link updated

@ 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 ?

Try switching the OTP NV filters on/off etc. I had similar issue on U8860 and somehow I was able to write all the info back eventually. I don't remember what I specifically changed though. Great to know IMEI is back though!

Thanks Blefish,
The IMEI is back as I wanted
I tried that option as well. As you can see on the screenshot, I see the WiFi keys in the application as before but the same does not show on my device.
Tried both OTP NV Enable & Disable but still the same result.
If you recommend, ill flash the official update again if that can bring back the wifi keys or else ill leave it as it coz your Ideos Setting app does have that option and you I hope we will have it in CM12 as well
EDIT
DFS Demo helped in ficing WiFi keys. NV option helps as Blefish pointed out
Now all if fine - IMEI & WIFI
thanks a lot for your help and assistance

Hi Blefish, I would like to know if your SN is correct (in settings) after using DFS.
On my Honor I have everyting OK only when I restore it via 5iromtoolbox, but I cant flash any rom except B939 after that :crying:
I wonder if you have SN the same as MAC in settings, too

In my U8800 everything is ok, however, U8860 had zero imei and zero BT/MAC address (which was set to a random one). The serial number shown in the projectmenu tool (Huawei firmware stock) shows correct serial number (the 16 digit one, same as on the phone behind the battery).
In U8800pro/U8860 ICS release, Huawei is using the Settings->Status serial number same as MAC address. If the serial number shows unknown, MAC addresses are incorrect too.

Yes. Until I made changes to BT MAC it showed nothing, but now I have it working.

For TWRP (and maybe more) .

Hello guys,
my U8800-51 is on the latest LegacyHuawei CyanogenMod 11.0 by Mr Blefish but i ended up without no WIFI MAC and BLuetooth. So i tried as stated on this post to downgrade to android 2.3 but when it gets to part 2/2 of the installation, gives me an error... Then, i proceeded to use DFS v14 to try to write the MAC adress (still on CyanogenMod) but it failed to find the COM PORT through PC (ADB install correct and showing the device, USB debuggin enable). The only way i managed to see the port in the device manager and DFS is tu putting the phone on the PINK SCREEN (Download mode, right?). but, DFS throw me some errors like CPS_BPSR and so on.
I also tried enabling DIAG port through ADB but didn't work.
So far, it has failed... But maybe you can help me.
I understand this is a very old phone, but i live in a 3rd world country where phones are ver expensive (not to mention an Hyperinflation process that we are living through). So, i have to try everything to save it.
Thanks in advance for you help
Regards

Lenovo A3000-H Mac Address Unavailable

I have flashed the Lenovo Ideab A3000-H Call - A3000_A422_011_022_140127_WW_CALL_FUSE firmware. I am now trying to open the wifi but the Mac Address is Unavailable and the IMEI is invalid. I can restore the IMEI Numbers by restoring the NVram folder I had a backup before.
Anyone had a problem like this before after flashing? Is it possible to be a driver problem or just Damaged hardware?
Thanks

you may have formated your device...

(Micromax a120) No network on *3G only* after flashing custom rom (HELP)

****PEOPLE WHO ARE THINKING ITS SPAMMING POST THEN BE ASIDE FROM THIS THREAD****
I am using mmx a120 (4.4.2,8gb) And when i was not om custom rom then it was locking locking my 2G network in 5-6s and 3G in 4-5s and also 3G only working fine but afterwards i try to install wiko 5.0 Rom then on sp tool its shows i have to use "format all+download" So i do that and i forget to take a backup and after rom flashed then 2G is locking in 30-50s and 3G in 2-4min and no network in 3G only and when choosing 3G only then also 2nd sim getting no network and i have to restart the phone to get back 2G again !
I have searched on xda and i got a solution also but that is for micromax a210 (And mine is a120) so, if anybody have faced this issue before and now solved then reply here !
***IT WILL BE HELPFULL FOR ME TOO MUCH***

Exactly the same issue with me
I am suffering from the exact same problem. I recently flashed my mmx A120 with stock ram and just like you, I didn't make a backup of any sorts. Now I have rooted my phone and I have 2gb for app installation. Everything is good except now when I choose 3g only, the network signals instantly vanishes. It's becoming a huge problem for me as no body likes to use 2g. I mean Nobody ! If you come across a solution please do help me as well by letting me know. I will be grateful to you.

Wifi, data and Bluetooth not working on Lumia 920

Hello, first of all, sorry for any typing error, english is not my first language but i will try to make this easy to understand.
I possess a Nokia Lumia 920. As you all know, the Lumia 920 wasn't update to WM 10 and i was stuck to WP8.1.
I follow a tutorial from this website to unlock the bootloader and enable root acess to change the configurations to be able to update to WM10. It work perfectly and i was using until saturday.
Saturday i use Windows Device Recovery Tool to go back to WP8.1 to be able to use the oficial version instead of the fast-ring version that i was in it. I downgrade sucessfully and i was doing the the steps to unlock the bootloader. Was the same process and nothing unusuall.
When i soft-reset the phone, i notice that the Wifi, Bluetooth and Data wasn't working and i was unable to fix that.
Thing that i try to do
Soft-reset
Hard-reset
Flash a FFU file using WP internal
And when i try to use the Windows Device Recovery Tool, i show me this error:
Error
Error Reading your phone information
It wasn't possible read the information.
Details:
Could not read ProductCode or ProductType
I already try the other option from undetected phone on WDRT but doesn't work to.
Looking at the WDRT log i found this:
Microsoft.WindowsDeviceRecoveryTool.LogicCommon.Services.MsrReportingService | Warning | Could not provide report upload url using params: {{"fileName":"20161218115639_48_RM 821__.xml","manufacturerName":null,"manufacturerProductLine":null,"reportClassification":"Public"}} |
Microsoft.WindowsDeviceRecoveryTool.LogicCommon.Services.MsrReportingService | Information | Try use manufacturer extracted data for getting upload url |
Currently my phone is basicaly bricked.
Any ideas or sugestions are welcome.
Thank You.

Your phone DPP Parition may be damaged.
You can fix it if you have full backup of your phone. Or dpp backup otherwise you cant get anything working (ril,wifi,bt data) or may be camera but not sure about camera
