Hacking the HP rw6828 for use with XDA Atom upgrade - accomplished! - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

Although everyone (if not most of us) by now has known that the HP rw6828 is a rebadged XDA ATOM. Apparently, this device, though slower than our current AKU3.3 ROMs seem to have a newer set of device drivers.
These device drivers are essential in the upgrade of our ROMs. Should we wish to port WM6 into our Atom, we will need the most up to date device drivers.
Unfortunately, we couldn't hack the lock on HP Official ROM. So, we though that if some generous soul with access to an HP rw6828 can dump the ROM from the device to an SD Card. This would be a lot of help!!!
Also, if someone knows how to decrypt the official ROM... this would even be better!

this is not possible because HP has placed a lock on you RUU. If we try to trick it to use Atom bootloader, it will check CRC. Are you willing to try??? I will make an ATOM bootloader for your HP. BUT there is a big RISK on this.

give me a couple of days. I need to work on it. The Atom has an extended partition unlike the HP which has NOT. There are applications that need to be migrated to work on your device IF the bootloader that I am going to prepare for you will work.
Just keep posted on this thread.
Jiggs
PS: there is already a AKU2.6 for the HP in the official website. You can try that while waiting.

I'm still testing the hp kernel with our device (fingers crossed)

Keeping the fingures crossed Jiggs. Hoping to see an Updated ROM soon

Fingers Crossed...
Cant wait... Hope all goes well.

hi all
i can dump Titanium version 2.6aku,let me know.
good work jiggs

testing
Has this got to testing yet and if so hows it all going. Have problems with my rw6828 not connecting to certain Symbol access points seems this is a known issuse between WM5 and Symbol
Wanting to test another image for it to see how i get on.

rx6828 wait wait wait atom rom
hope my rx6828 can use atom exec rom.....
if can use atom life wm6 is bonus!!!!
wait wait wait

reply
But waiting takes so long

I would say there seems to be some misunderstanding within the HP community..... The idea of hacking the HP rom was infact not to benefit any HP user, rather to benefit the Atom with the latest device drivers in hope of using these drivers within the WM6 or Crossbow upgrade. However it seems HP device drivers cannot be used for the Atom (so far anyway) therefore I seriously doubt any cooked or custom rom for HP, unless jiggs can somehow swing it almost blindfolded as he doesnt use the HP.

What is RUU?
Since HP rw6828 and Atom is identical in hardware, is it possible to erase the whole rw6828 ROM and replace it with Atom ROM? What's preventing it? Anyway to hack this protection?

RUU- Rom Upgrade Utility
The bootloaders for Atom and HP is not identical. You need the Upgrade/Update Utility to put the ROM into your device. BUT, the RUU in hp checks each file component (radio, ROM, bootloader update, etc.) prior to flashing it to the device. Unlike the Atom DSUU, which checks only the filename and flashes it to the device.
To hack it is to unsign it. Well, someone has to do it. I can't.

another way to get HP's firmwire is dumping whole ROM using pmemdump from itsutils

Why not try copying the files from the WWE rom in Windows/Temp after extraction then paste those files into same directory when the CHT rom has extracted then continuing the flash procedure, just a thought and dont blame me if things go pear shaped.

I've try this solution 4 many times.But, the RUU doesn't allow to do this.
I try the CHT one(sp34075.exe), the hpRUU.exe pop up a fatal error message during the upgrade process and cause my 6828 dead thoroughly: no response to powerup & hard reset.
what a shock!!! Hardly imagine that HP even make this ****!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey can someone post the link for the hp rom update? I cant find it. Do I need to register on the HP site first?????

Okay Guys. Here is a ROM for testing purposes only. The Atom Life AKU3.3 is very much stable compared to the BENQ P51 AKU3.5 when ported to our XDA Atom.
WARNING: It is possible that you can brick your device with this ROM. Use it at your own risk! This is for XDA Atom ONLY.
UPGRADE PROCEDURE:
Your device battery must be at least 80% charged.
Enter into boot loader mode: POWER+DPAD(center)+RESET (simultaneous)
Connect device to PC using USB
Run the original ROM update Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822.exe
On the Welcome window, click <next>
Unzip attached nb0 file into C:\Windows\Temp Folder (overwrite existing file)
Proceed upgrading and follow on screen instructions.
Notes: Don't ask me why the upgrade is like this. I'm no cracker, and the ATOM_Software_Update_Utility.exe needs to be hacked. (someone needs to crack it. if you know how to do it PM me.) After a successful update, the device will automatically perform a hard reset. When you see the green Windows Mobile Screen and the message flashes to tap the screen, please wait for five (5) seconds before tapping.
Big thanks goes to mamaich for his tools and the Scoter Kitchen by JKR, OKI and team! For without their tools, there wouldn't be an update for the XDA Atom. Special thanks for buzz, double_04, llbasha, and others for the support and assistance.

you dont need the modded rom, simply extract (execute DSUU Xda-Atom-Exec-ENG-20060721-MOT0822) (or which ever Atom Exec rom you have) the files from win/temp then store these files. Execute the Atom rom (Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822) (or which ever Atom rom you have) then overwrite the temp files with the previous files you saved, click next then once finished put the Atom into bootloader mode and run the Atom rom Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822 again, wahla! If that doesnt work try doing it the oposite way around if that makes sense, good luck.
A million thank to you!! Great Work and really kind to sure it with all the ATOM user!!
Thank you for sharing.

Bring it to the O2 Service Center in your country. Hanging regardless of OS version is usually a symptom of motherboard defect. Ready your proof of purchase to be able to avail of the warranty.

i-mate Smartflip

Hey,
Newbie here. I own two smartflips bought from i-mate hq (Dubai). However, i'm now in Aus. WM6 looks nice and i must say, great work and appreciation for those who cook up these ROMs. However, i noticed that all these ROMs start off from either Cingular or QTEK or HTC. why leave i-mate ROMs behind guys? Anyways, before i try out any of these ROMs, i just don't want to end up killing my phone. I've searched high and low for i-mate stock ROMs (WM5). I saw one in a post but that was like WWE or something which i'm not sure what it means. I don't want to register on i-mate and do loads of form-filling and IMEI filling just to get some ROMs. Anyone have any idea of where i can acquire some 'stock' WM5 i-mate ROMs (not qtek or cingular or htc or wotever).
The other thing.. i haven't SuperCID-ed my smartflip. I tried to get to the bootloader (for no reason.. just experimenting) by pressing the keys n all but it doesn't show up. it goes to the i-mate screen.. then flashes an HTC logo and boots WM5. Once again my smartflip is Out-of-the box, hope that helps someone explaining the phenomena. i do have the i-mate CD that came with it. However didn't find and option to install Windows Mobile 5.0. I need a ROM to keep a backup in case i screw up. If anyone could help me obtain an i-mate WM5 ROM, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, how would one find out the IPL and SPL of the smartflip? As i mentioned i wouldn't like to brick my phone. It is mentioned somewhere that the 3.06 or wotever IPL and SPL version are not capable of flashing through micro-sd card. Not sure but i think the 4.0 or wotever can flash through micro-sd card. Apart from the link(to files) posted in a thread, isn't there an 'official' way of getting to update the IPL and SPL?
Sorry for such a long post. One thing i must say, great work guys. I would like to suggest people to follow up on their threads. there was one 'bricked' post but the person said he found a solution but never posted what his solution was. It would be helpful if he could have posted the solution as it does help others. Apologies if i said anything wrong.
Thanks,
Dan.
You used to be able topick up Imate roms from ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
But they won't be nearly as good as the cooked Wm6 ones. Just follow the instruction and flash away.
(WWE means worldwide english)
Flash one of the cooked ones! I use Erofich's 6.1 and it's great.
WWE just means WorldWideEnglish as opposed to other languages.
Good luck
I have a SmartFlip upgraded with GnatGoSplat's WM6 ROM (Eurofich' WM6 is better but GPRS doesn't work): it works fast and without problems.

Hi,
Thank you all for your responses. i-mate roms at imate ftp site is confirmed. Thanks unwired. The thing is i take calculated risks and have most info before i do some thing. so if i end up somehow bricking my phone, i will know what to do before dad kills me . Now i just need to update the IPL/SPL and get into bootloader to see if it works. Then gonna flash with WM6 or WM6.1. I just needed a stock ROM to keep as backup because its mentioned somewhere that if your phone is bricked, u can try to flash it using micro-sd card flashing. but that only works with stock ROMs if WM6 flashing fails. Anyways, thanks once again. i will keep you guys updated on my progress.. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Dan.

IPL/SPL
Hi,
Sorry for multiple questions. I still haven't been able to get into the bootloader by pressing the voice notes and camera and power on key. I'm still not sure how it goes. Do you have to hold the keys, press the power button and let go immediately of all the three keys or do you have to hold the power button for long with holding the voice and camera keys? i need to check which version of the bootloader i have to make sure it supports flashing from micro-sd. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dan.
EDIT: I was also looking for some way to backup software from my current WM5 ROM. There are some apps that come in-built which i like. But since i don't have the .cab(s) i was wondering if there would be a way to backup software and later on install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Out of a million tries, I only managed to get into the bootloader ONCE that way. Okay, I exaggerate, but I found it almost impossible to use RECORD, CAMERA, and POWER to get into bootloader. Instead, I've found with the phone OFF, press RECORD, CAMERA, and plug the USB connector into the PC while holding those buttons. It goes into Bootloader every single time that way.
You can back up the built-in apps, but it requires figuring out which files belong to which app, and also getting their registry entries. Then you can either manually copy all those files into the phone and manually import the registry entries, or make them into a cab file to automate it.
WOW.. thnx for that!
Yup! Worked like a charm! i have IPL/SPL 1.02 or wotever.. so i don't need to worry about micro-sd card flashing problems ( i hope i never need to use that in my life). So if it works this way.. i would recommend others who have bricked their phones and trying to flash it holding the record, and camera button while phone is off, plug it in the usb. As soon as i did that, Vista picked it up as a mobile device. the bootloader ( the screen sucks! what a dreadful combination of colors!) also shows a usb sign at the bottom. I hope this info helps those who bricked/killed their phone and were finding it hard to re-flash it. As it is mentioned in some thread... if wm6 flashing fails, u have to revert back to stock rom WM5 (cingular rom for cingular phone, i-mate rom for i-mate, etc) and then re-flash with WM6. I wonder if rom update utilities work when in bootloader connected to pc.
Once again, thanks for your reply GnatGoSplat. As for the apps, yea.. i know its bad. I did check over onto the i-mate site and found a file 'Arabic...' something. it didn't mention it as a rom so i'm hoping they are the software packages that come with the default middleast rom. You might have heard of 'Portableapps' on PCs. They are little beauties. Because the original windows and windows mobile are linked closely.. i might wonder if there could be a way to port those ( or even create your own) onto windows mobile. I know how to make portableapps so if you need any info, i think i could help unless someone knows better.
So where do i get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock file? Thanks.

Dan.

Hi,
Thanks for the file Erofich. Unfortunately, I've just been caught up with studies and hence will not be able to work on modding my i-mate until i get some free time. however, i'm still going to try to work on an 'Ultimate WM6 for Startrek Guide'.
Its just that its better for end-users because some of the information is scattered around and 'some' of the instructions are a bit hard to follow (no offense to anyone). If anyone has any concerns or is against my actions, please let me know.

I tried searching I swear. How to flash MWG's rom to o2's atom LIFE.

I recieved an o2 atom life, wm5. Which is unstable.
I want to use this: http://www.mwg.com/atom-life_wm6_pre.aspx
(MWG's WM6.1 upgrade - June 2008).
But it shows "Vendor ID error"... So I guess I need soft SPL...
I searched a while but found only things for Atom/atom Pure... but nothing for atom life...
If I searched using "life" I got many "not for atom life" posts.
Any one that can guide/help me?
regards.
download a O2 atom life official ROM
run it, and b4 u really flash ur device, backup "pass.32" (c:/windows/temp)
then run MWG atom life official ROM
replace the pass.32 right b4 the soft detect ur device
be honest....there are not much atom life resource on internet then HTC device, especially here. do more searching and u will know.
Actually, MWg has not yet released any WM6.1 ROM for Atom Life... And MWg might has no plan on it.

i doubt they will ever release 6.1, it's a way to force you buying a new pda.
um.... i think there is no hope for radio stuff and driver
yet we stil have OS part as there custom build 6.1 ROM
If the above problem still not resolve. My suggestion is contact them via email [email protected]. I believe there will able to help you.
Refer to http://www.mwg.com/helpdesk.aspx for detail.
Thanks for the help.
I'll try this weekend!
PS. Yes I was mistaken, it's not 6.1 it's just wm6 with office 6.1 my bad... but it's updated to this month.

Not only the O2 official Rom but you have to find the original rom for your atom life (which is suitable for your device's default language) . And actually, you just need the file "pass.32" , this file is used for cheking your device's default language.
I'll give you may pass.32 to see if it works or not( mine is WWE). All you have to do is download MWG rom, run it, then replace this pass.32 to C:\Windows\ temp , after that connect your device to pc and flashing
To all using Atom liffe, please share your pass.32 please !!
Thanks a lot. Finally!
