Need Help - iPaq 2495B & WM6 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hi guyz need your help who ever was succesfull upgrading 2495B from WM5 to WM6. I searched and tried all methods that was posted in here. but no luck. I also tried this method :-
" worked for me. 2490 device was shipped w/wm5 1.02h
Please Note: As of 10/8/07 there are 2 confirmed working roms for hx2*** series ipaqs. So far the pdaviet version is more stable, less activesync issues, preinstalled software ie: psshutxp and much more. (could use more feedback from others on this)
As promised: Here are the steps
-take out any cf/sd cards you might have installed. grab your cradle AND ac power cord (no AC cord = no flashing for you)
-put device into normal boot loadermode and downgrade to 1.0h w/files from hp website.
-format the p.s. (fyi everyone misses you have to HOLD DOWN the keys for p.s. format for like 4 or 5 seconds and THEN it will activate) After p.s. format wm5 will start.
(!! Start below this line if you are performing a wm6-4pda to wm6-pdaviet upgrade or vise versa !!)
-put device into WHITE bootloader mode and again run the 1.0h rom setup. When you arrive at the screen that asks "update" or "cancel",
1. rename the wm5.xxx.nbf to wm5.xxx.nbf.old
2. rename the new wm6.xx.nbf from the 4pda.rar/pdaviet file to whatever your wm5-wm5.xxxx.nbf was called (before you added the .old to it)
-NOW hit update. You shouldnt get any errors.
-After update wm6 wont start properly until you again format the p.s. (remember to hold down those keys to start) once this is done
-you should be golden.. with a working copy of wm6 on your wm5 deivce.
"

The latest English ROM is Dopod 1.30.111 WWE(World Wide English) with latest Radio 1.11.00. The second is Qtek 1.30.77 WWE with Radio 1.09.00. They all can download at ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal with user name:xda and password:xda. But, read the detailed instructions before upgrading at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Upgrading your device with different ROM wil show you Country ID error and use the program instead at http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9885

mrijnvis said:
i had the same with earlier updates. connect the device in a usb port not a hub, remove all cards, sim and memory
update ( maybe 2x because of language fault) then soft reset
in your case, maybe re update 1.09 then softreset

I had the same problem with a German T-mobile MDA PRO from Ebay and first think i did was to try and change the language.
First attempt went wrong and the phone would not turn on, but i flashed it again and all was OK.
I think the fault is the way you flash it. I discovered you must follow some important steps.
If the upgrade is a standalone file you must extract the firmware files in a directory like C:\flash (using winrar for example) where you can do the following:
1. Find MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and later use it to flash, DO NOT USE ROMUpgradeUt.exe.
2. Edit RUU.conf and add [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 at the end.
3. Put the phone in bootloader mode (bootloader mode is where it shows usb on top and v1.0 at the bottom, so your phone is allready there)
4. connect usb cable (do not use a usb hub, plug directly on the computer).
5. Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, and ----VERY IMPORTANT---- after the first screen when it displays the firmware version you are about to flash (it does not detect the version on the phone) WAIT 10 SECONDS. Then press continue, and wait for 20 minutes until it finishes.
Hope you make it...
HI MAN

ROM upgrading issue: error 150

Hi
Since I have been given a brand new universal by orange after my old one died I thought I would upgrade to the Helmi UNI AKU3.5 ROM which is the most recommended here. However I cannot get my universal to accept the new ROMs. Firstly it was the country ID error and the provided package (with the .rar) does not work and neither does maupgradeut_noid_637. With the former I get most of the way through the process when 'ERROR 150: ROM UPGRADE UTILITY ERROR' stops it. I can't find any useful mention of error 150 here and I am now stuck. Any ideas anyone?
umm, I had a lot of troubles to update to aku 3.5...
2 days ago I got it.
I delete all files in the extenderom and then hard reset. update to radio 1.14 and then install the new rom.
I did it in boot loader... you too?
PD: sorry for my english
error 150
same happend to me,
how to solve:
1, Open activesync and in connections de-select usb connection.
2, Put your universal in "boot" mode
(press power button and backlight button and reset button AT THE SAME TIME)
3, connect universal with pc via usb
4, start Maupgradenoid...
follow on screen instructions.
that's it !

Upgrading HX2110 to WM6

Okay, I've finally got WM6 on my HX2110. For any other people having the same problems I did, here is exactly what I did. What the guides I've found don't tell you is where to find it, and what to do when you get it. Basically you need to trick the iPaq into thinking it's getting the original 1.00.00.l firmware and then switch firmwares. You need to downgrade to the original H firmware before the iPaq will accept wm6. This worked perfectly for me after two days of trial and error. More detailed steps are below, but basically its: flash with 100l, reset, run 100l and swap firmware with 100h, flash, run 100l and swap with wm6, flash
Prerequisites:
Advanced_pack_for_hx2xxx_to_WM6
iPaq HX2110
USB connection to computer
1) Hard reset iPaq. Do this by holding the calendar button and itask button (curved arrow), and then put your stylus into the reset hole on the bottom of the iPaq. This will hard reset it.
2) After doing that, put it in to bootloader mode. You do this by holding the contact button (to the right of the calendar) and the itask arrow, and then clicking the reset button on the bottom. It should now be in bootloader mode. unplug the power/usb cable and plug it back in. hit the calendar button. it should now say USB.
3) run hpRUU.exe under the Wm5.0 for hx2000_1.00.00.L_ENG folder. It's found in provishki. it will flash your ipaq to 1.00.00.l . let it flash all the way.
4) hard reset the ipaq and put it in bootloader mode. see steps 1 and 2. make sure it says USB.
5) do step 3 again, but this time don't click upgrade. rename the E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf file to 100l.nbf
6) go into the SP32408_1.00.00.H_ENG folder and get the NBF file from there. copy it into the 1.00.00.L folder that we were just in. rename is to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf. click upgrade. let the upgrade finish.
7) repeat steps 1 and 2.
8) delete the E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf file that you just copied over and rename the 100l.nbf file to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf.
9) run hpruu.exe again. DO NOT CLICK UPGRADE.
10) get the wm6_wwe.nbf file and copy it into the directory we were just in. rename E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf to 100l.old and wm6_wwe.nbf to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf
11) click upgrade. let it finish.
12) repeat step 1
you should now have Windows Mobile 6 on your iPaq. Good luck
I've been finding things that said I need to downgrade my firmware to 1.00.00.h after doing the 1.00.00.l version. I can't find L for the life of me. All I need is for someone to show me where I can get it. The only sites that bring anything up about that are russian.

i might find the problem, i think i started with wm2003. do i need any prerequities to upgrade from WM2003 to wm6??
and what to do when I already bricked my hx2110?
something it's not clear for me... When we run hpruu and 100% of instalation it's complete the devive restart it self. Do we have to wait there? wen do we have to do the hard reset?
I did it!
my advices are
1)start installing from windows mobile 2003
2) do not restart the pocket pc before the windows log-in screen appears!
Good luck!
Thanks!
sorry for my english
So many thanks for your tips.
I have some friends who couldn't flash by ordinary steps, I hope your guides will solve their problem on upgrading to my Thai Customized WM6.1.
Cheers,

My device is Original WM2003, are there any prerequities before doing the upgrade mentioned in this article?
Hi!
I'm having some problems with my Hx2110...
When flashing my working ipaq (Step 6), my computer halt.
So, i run HPRUU to reflash again, with no luck (because of "incorrect device SKU). Of course, model ID returned of my bricked IPAQ is "¨¨¨¨¨¨¨"...
But i have another chance, i try universal bootloader and USB telnet, (USB> prompt never come. (Pre-Bl screen and USB on ipaq screen are ok.)
I've tried every solution in this forum, and on internet.. (well, there's a hpruu.exe patched to ignore lang/model, but is for 6xxx series only )
What happen if i put a working 2110 on cradle, when hpruu comes with UPDATE screen, disconnect usb, and connect my non-working ipaq?...this will work?. I can try this on monday.
Thanks!
2) After doing that, put it in to bootloader mode. You do this by holding the contact button (to the right of the calendar) and the itask arrow, and then clicking the reset button on the bottom. It should now be in bootloader mode. unplug the power/usb cable and plug it back in. hit the calendar button. it should now say USB.
I just have to ask this:
What we should do before Unpluging powe/usb cable and plug it back in ???
Does it means that after putting it in bootloader mode i must put it on a cradle, then unplug power/usb cable and then again plug in it and press the calendar button ??? Or else ?

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

More precisely: WM2003 only - no SE upgrades for the h2210.

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

Thanks In Advance ;
Hello,
First instal ActiveSync 4.5 in PC. - if not already installed
Code:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/activesync.html
Then in settings in (ActiveSync) disable (NOT check): "allowed to connect to one of the following port" and "Allow connection to USB".
Perhaps the translation is correct. I use the CZ version. But it's second and third check box.
Now
This works for when the Universal is in Bootloader and Windows Mobile.
1. First download the ROM you want to install.
2. Extract it to a folder (use winar or other extraction software).
3. There will be up to 3 ROMs in the package: ms_.nbf (Extended ROM), nk.nbf (OS ROM), radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
4. Delete those which you don't want to install. (If you just want to upgrade the radio rom for instance delete ms_.nbf and nk.nbf and leave radio_.nbf.)
5. Download UniversalRUU.zip
6. Extract it and copy into that folder the nbf files you want to install.
7. Enter BootLoader mode by pressing and holding the power button and backlight button whilst performing a reset with the stylus. And plug to PC. Wait few seconds.
8. Doubleclick ROMUpgradeUt.exe and follow the instructions
9. When the upgrade is finished pull out the USB cable from the Universal.
10. You will need to do a soft reset OR hard reset depending on the situation. (note: some say do a soft reset / others a hard reset .. possibly someone with more knowledge could correct me here, but until then it's best to investigate the matter for yourself on the forum.)
11. To do a hard reset (push the two menu buttons ("-") on the keyboard + the reset button at the same time (all of this three). Doing a hard reset will result in you losing all your installed apps and data so ensure you have a backup of everything first.) Everything should be fine from this time. You have to calibrate the screen and do some tutorial...
12. If after doing a hard reset you want your Universal not to install the extras from the Extended ROM wait untilsetup is complete and then do a softreset when the popup window appears (you have 3 seconds before it installs ExtendedROM)
For a long time I have not installed the new ROM. I remember so I proceeded as follows
