How could I convert non pocket pc application
into pocket pc application? Is there any software
to do that? Is is very frustrating that those application
works on desktop pc but not on pocket pc. can
anyone help here. thanks.
You could try to write a i386 virtual machine for PocketPC, and install a Windows (98, 2k, XP) on that virtual machine.
Sorry, just kidding :lol: . No, actually you can't run a PC binary on a PPC. If you have the source code than you can compile it for PPC, if there aren't unsuported features inthe code (usually there are so you have to change the code). It's usually hard work to port an application that was written without thinking of porting it (does the Bridge pattern ring a bell? :wink: )
I ran across Windows Mobile SDK and some emulators/images of WM6.1 on microsoft's website and when i ran it, it comes up on the screen as if it were a real ppc, allowing me to install cabs and have them function and all. I can't get the program to allow me to change the BIN it uses as the image. If this could be figured out, could this be used to test ROMs before flashing (I want to get into cooking)?
i dont not believe the emulator support real roms as it dont deal with drivers and other hardware related issues at all
it also comes as standalone so people dont need to install the sdk
Hello, everyone, I hope no piss anyone about this old OS, but I have no choice on my iPAQ Rx3115 'cause HP never releases an OS update for this pda, since it has decent features and mine is in perfect shape and it's a shame that a lot of programs cant be installed in this OS.
So, that's why i want to edit the ROM of this PDA, made a custom one with new programs and delete the old ones and the ones that are obsolete (like the MPG player, since tcmp and coreplayer cant play everything).
This forum is big, i was searching for hour about resources and "how to do that", I use EM2003 and when i try to open the rom file it tells me that enter a password to unlock the ROM.
So pleasse guys, help me out, I want to guive a full new life to this PDA and keep using it, and of course I will release the ROM for everyone to use it as I made stable ROMs.
Thanks and regards.
c'mon guys, help me a little, a need something to start with, a tool, program, anything?
thanks
I know this is old but I'd just like to second this, if anyone has any info on how to upgrade this device that would be great as I just sort of "stumbled upon" one of these and would like to put it to good use.
I've done a lot of searching and can't find any roms for rx3115 IPAC. I have one of these too and would love to fiddle with it again!! I even found on forum that said that it would not support WM 5 or 6 so I don't now if there is much hope. But if there was a program or instructions on how to make our own ROM I would sure like to try!!! I believe it has WM 2003 CE on it now...
Me too!!! I too have one of those...
rx3115
I have an rx3115 also. I am following this thread.
This will be quite difficult and complicated, first of all, what do you want to do with stock ROM? If some apps can't be installed on WM2003SE, then adding them to ROM won't change anything. However, I'm willing to help, send me a PM with stock ROM and changes you want, I'll try to develop somethin' good .
Thanks tomcug!!!
I'll also PM you the links from this post.
I too have an rx3115 and have been searching all over for ways to upgrade it: cooked ROMs, Linux, Unix... SOMEthing. LOL
So far you're the only cook who's wanted to take a swing at this. There are no easy answers for rx3115 that I can find anywhere on the net.
Here's the last official rx3115 update of WM2003 (1.01.11) complete with installer
http://www.mediafire.com/file/i6k0935chhkgzlh/iPAQ rx3115 ROM 1_01_11.exe
I'd hate to lose the Nevo (IrDA universal remote control) from it, but would sacrifice that if I could upgrade the OS...
Better yet - maybe you could work with this WM 6.1 Classic ROM that was cooked for the rx1950. It supports the ARMv4T instruction set used by the rx3115. Here is just the .nbf file
http://www.mediafire.com/file/iu9p815w3yjpy6h/CEOS.nbf
At 27.82mb it would just fit on rx3115. Maybe a slimmed down version??? I would leave it to you to decide what to remove. LOL who am I to tell a cook how to season his offering???
And the WM 6.1 install cab for Mobile Office
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nmz3sbyuxan7c4e/office_wpc_WM6.CAB
Of course - any help would be greatly appreciated by many rx3115 owners.
And here's my thread of what I've been trying to accomplish with my rx3115.

All right, then I'll try to do something good . I don't know if this will work and that's why I need to ask you one more thing. Is it possible to flash this phone when it's not booting? I mean windows hangs.
It's a straight Pocket PC with no Phone capability. Full specs are here:
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=122&view=1&c=hewlett-packard_ipaq_rx3115
Short answer: yes, the ROM is user flashable up to 28mb of 32mb total.
Long Answer...
The HP update I sent you will flash the ROM under Win XP with ActiveSync installed. The RUU (ROM Update Utility) needs RAPI.dll from ActiveSync in order to run. It won't function under Win 7 for me - it generates a comm error.
Theoretically it is possible to flash any (size appropriate) ROM to the device with this Universal iPAQ Bootloader:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubl/files/ubl/Binaries/
My system flagged the UBL as having a Worm in the Vista Drivers though. I can't tell if it is a false positive (I'm not qualified for that) so I didn't use it under Win 7.
Instead, I stripped out the infected(?) bits and tried it on an XP box. Here's that file:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/7anraar1tkc3lz1/BootLoader.rar
It fails to put rx3115 into bootloader mode even though it connects via USB.
There is a manual way to put rx3115 into Bootloader mode: MultiMedia (button 1) + iTask (button 4) + Power + Reset. But every time I put it in Bootloader mode manually, that seems to kill the rx3115's USB port. It becomes invisible to PC... I don't know if there is another step to manually enable USB mode under Bootloader. I haven't been able to find the right button(s) for that so far...
And manually entering Bootloader mode hasn't allowed me to flash from SD card either. I always get a "Wrong Image" error, even with .nbf file from the last official update!!!
I know it's not the device - I can reflash the last update over USB on a Win XP box if I use the official update package.
LOL - an executable which uses HP's RUU would be preferable for technologically deficient users such as myself.
Feel free to PM me or post back here if you have any more questions.
Thanks again.
Well, no progress at the moment and probably there's won't be any progress at all. I don't know how to extract CEOS.nbf, all tools I've tried can't do it.
By extract, do you mean view and edit???
uedit32 (hex editor???) will open it and allow changes to be saved. It even keeps the original version as a backup...
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6r8ffn1fq3bh9mu/uedit32.exe
Making ROM with hex editor ? That would take hundreds of years or even more . What I need is a tool or set of tools that can extract XIP and IMGFS from CEOS.nbf, that's the way you make ROM's. And tools I've tried doesn't work for this phone, however they work for HTC and i-mate phones I own.
EDIT:
I've also tried rx1950 kitchen, but it's a fail too. There are tools there but only for making CEOS.nbf from XIP and IMGFS images, nothing what I need .
Looking for the 802.11g mod for rx3115
I saw an experimental mod somewhere to enable the rx3115 to use 802.11g. If anyone knows where it is, please share. I lost the link. I was looking up the embedded chips at the time I saw it, so I think it was a forum.
All right, making a little update here. After long time of hard work I need to say that it's impossible to make WM 6.5.3 ROM for this device, drives and OEM stuff from WM 2003 SE simply won't work with any newer OS. Sorry for that but there's nothing we can do .
Hello.
I'm trying to make system that use zigbee module connected to the smarthphone/PDA through USB port. I was working till now with HTC Advantage 700, but it was problematic in many ways. Now I'm looking for new smartphone which could fulfil following requirements:
OS: windows mobile
USB host controller
possibility to power up external device (zigbee module)
compatible with ftdi drivers
I was searching a little bit and my best candidate is Toshiba TG01. What do you think?
I'm trying to run the application that I wrote in Java. On PC it works perfectly but when I'm trying to run on HTC with Mysaifu JVM I have always following error:
"Error loading win32com: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native library `win32com' not found (as file `win32com') in gnu.classpath.boot.library.path and java.library.path"
Naturally I placed the win32com.dll in "bin" folder. I don't know what can be wrong. Any ideas?
Hello XDA!
I've found something interesting in the samsung Omnia 7 firmware update CAB file. I opened QC_8x50_OS_TEST.cab.pkg inside the cab and looked at the files, there were these:
SwitchUsbToMassStorage.lnk: 23#usbmgr.exe /M
SwitchUsbToQcComposite.lnk: 23#usbmgr.exe /C
SwitchUsbToSerialClass.lnk: 23#usbmgr.exe /S
SwitchUsbToZune: 23#usbmgr.exe /Z
I find those interesting, now if someone finds a way to run that usbmgr.exe file...
You can grab the cab here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RL4LFTAV
tried this back on 7004 days, didn't worked. the usb mode indeed changed, but still no mass storage functionality.
Maybe it s a Silverlight UIX binary with native code (FULL UNLOCK) if sb take a look on it , so if it s an exe for wp7 you can try to execute it but i dont know it too but thois will help (i hope ask cotulla how he started his native demo) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255829
