As most of you have tried, you get either country or model error. Here is how you can do it.
1. Run MWG Atom Life WM6 ROM WWE_020108_B2_DS.exe, Click Next, wait for the completion of file extraction to C:\Windows\Temp\
you just need file FLASH.IDO. Copy that file to a folder, then you can cancel the whole updating process.
2. You need tool like Hex Workshop to remove the first 12 bytes.
Launch Hex Workshop, Open FLASH.DIO, remove the first 12 bytes,

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then save the files as AL1.IDO
3. Copy AL1.dio to the root of your storage card (make sure no other files or folders there)
4. Flash you device by enterring bootloader mode (record (hold) + reset), wait until it finishes, your device will perform a hard reset
Good luck to you all.
Thanks for sharing this method with images... This is very useful for all the Atom Life users, though, I've already learnt it a long time ago in one of the forums in mainland china.
I know it's been out there for a while, but ppl keeps asking on how to, and when i gave them a short instruction, they cant get it to work, so i thought, I have to do it anyway, so why not write one
as far as I know.. you just need to press the "DOWN" key while updating from offical ROM update program.. no need for any editing.
I got my life upgrade to the recent radio ROM by this method.

Solved, error Model ID
Found another easy way to upgrade your O2 Atom Life radio and ext ROM to MWG Atom Life ROM without the model ID error:
1- Run ROM from See O2 site but don't connect your device to PC.
2- Go to Windows/Temp, copy file pass.32 & paste it in somewhere. Then exit the program.
3- Run ROM of WMG but don't connect your device to PC.
4- Copy file pass.32 of step 2, paste it into Windows/Temp to replace pass.32.
5- Connect your device to PC & continue your program until it complete upgrade process.
6- Enjoy your new WMG ROM version.
I found it here http://www.expansys-usa.com/ft.aspx?k=112507
For your convenience, i uploaded the pass.32 file, just copy to /windows/temp... enjoy!
Phones Not ready, Wait for 15 secs
I have an Atom Life device and just flashed my rom winmo5 to Atom Life WM6.5 23001 WWE orig by Chriscsh.. But after the flashing, i notices that whenever im going to text or send an SMS, its poping a window saying "Phones Not ready, Wait for 15 secs". And whenever im going to click the antena to select settings, its still displaying that warining msg.
And its been 2days now since it started poping-up.. Can't receive/send a msg. But i can receive a call.. And before flahsing my ROM to 6.5, everythings fine. I can text and send sms anytime..
Just read a thread somewhere that I need to install a patch or something for ROM WM6.5 23001 in order for it to get back to normal without that "Wait for 15 secs" msg sign.. Tried to turn off the Phone in Comm Manager several times, Hard reset it several times, soft reset it, Flash the the same Rom.. Still can't send SMS and the msg Phones Not ready wait 15 secs" still appearing..
Hope someone could help me and hear from you guys..
Heres my Phone Info:

Which official ROM did you use before flashing the modified ROM? The extROM and radio of your device are so old... You should better flash the latest official ROM before flashing chriscsh's or my ROMs, as we both use the latest version of the official ROM for base.
I dont know what ROM...
All i know, i bought it with a ROM of windows mobile 5.0.. Sorry i tried to flash it with (PDAVIET ROM WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20924 Build 20924.1.5.0) before, but the the msg "The Phone is not ready. Wait 15 secs and try again" is still there.. That's why I put And flash it back again with the ROM of Chirscsh winmo6.5.
I really dont know how to update my radio or my rom to a new one, and i dont know how to check if its too old or not.. Can someone give me a thought on how to update it?
Thank you aa125690 for a very fast reply and giving me a hope that is just a matter of the software of my device and not the hardware of it.. Bacause im thinking that its my phones hardware that is making this problem..
Please guys. Help me out.. thank you.
Download the official ROM from the link provided in the first post first, mate.

you've given me a relief mate... thank you!
But, Do i have to flash it everytime back to MWG atom life official ROM in order for the ROM of Chriscsh winmo6.5 and any other higher ROM in order for it to work porperly? or I just need to flash my phone just once with the MWG rom and i can install any ROM at anytime?
Do i have to do all the HEX editing thing with Flash.dio? i dont know how to do that...
Thank you very much...
No no no no no no...
Don't worry too much, dude. That file will totally upgrade the whole deveice, including the radio, extended ROM and ROM itself. And the upgrade action is permanent, which means after upgrading by this file, the versions of the radio and extROM will never change when you flash other ROMs by flashing AL1.DIO files. The AL1.DIO files will only affect the version of ROM.
The official ROM can be converted to AL1.DIO by hexing(as what the first post introduced), but that isn't related to your case.
Byt the way, if your Atom Life is an O2 device, there may be something wrong when you run MWG's upgrade file. View the #6 post and you'll find the solution.
hmm.. I see.. But I'm encountering another problem when running the official rom. It stating an "ERROR: Customer or Model ID Error" after extracting it while my device is conencted.. Then if im going to run the official rom again, its gona restart my computer.. Don't know what problem that is..
Question about:
1- Run ROM from See O2 site but don't connect your device to PC. <---What ROM is this? MWG or the Life ROM?
2- Go to Windows/Temp, copy file pass.32 & paste it in somewhere. Then exit the program. <---Pass.32 of the attached zip, right? Copy it to the Windows\temp folder or any folder first? or i would just paste the pass.32 attached file after the Rom has created a pass.32 file on the windows\temp folder? hhmmm.. unclear for me.. sorry.
3- Run ROM of WMG but don't connect your device to PC. <---ok,
4- Copy file pass.32 of step 2, paste it into Windows/Temp to replace pass.32.
5- Connect your device to PC & continue your program until it complete upgrade process.
6- Enjoy your new WMG ROM version.
Is there just an Life/MWG official ROM that is converted to AL1.DIO file where i can just download? sorry for some lazy question.. so that i can just flash my device by using just my memory card.. is that possible? thank you..
Hi aa125690, just want to ask about the editing using the hex workshop..
i saw the Flash.DIO now.. when imatrix said reomove the 12bytes. does he mean delete all the highlightened numbers on his picture or just change it all to '0' (zero)?
because just edited the flash.dio and deleted all the 08 00 00 00 3032 30 31 30 38 31 31 E9 FD. Then when i flashed my atom life, after the 100% it rebooted it self then it hangs.. Even i try to hard reset or soft reset it, it hangs to "Device Clean boot".. And it doesn't boot at all on the main O.S...
thank you..
Hmmm,... realy can't get the official MWG flash rom to work with the pass.32 and the Hex tool tutorial to flash my Atom life to update my Radio and extrom..
What i did: Convert the MWG Flash.DIO to AL1.DIO using the HEX but sad to say, it didn't work or flash my rom..
Did the copy paste the pass.32 to windows\tool. then connect my device before clicking the 'Next' Button. Sad to say again, it didin't work ahead.. Just displayed again the "ERROR: Customer or Model ID Error"..
Can someone please with a good heart make or send me an official Atom MWG rom that is in AL1.DIO that can work with my atom life. So that i can update my atom life Radio rom and extrom... Anybody? please...
thank you..
I'm sorry, mate. I've just arrived home to come here and view the posts...
Come here to upgrade your device to the latest O2 version first, because your device was originally WM5.0(actually due to this reason, you have to take the WM5.0 upgrade file's pass.32, but...).
And then, try to run the upgrade process again. Tell me if there are problems.
sorry for bothering.. but i really just can't figure this out.. *sigh*
i don't understand, do i have to get the pass.32 of the WM6 of the atom life in windows\temp folder and copy it, then run the MWG official flash ROM then paste it after the extraction of the MWG version inside the windows\temp folder to replace the pass.32 in it?
I don't have the pass.32 for WM5.0 for atom life.. Can i ask where can i get one?
I've Downloaded the Atom life official WM6 ROM and tried to flash my atom life with it, but unluckily, its still displaying some "Error: Customer or Model ID Error".. hmmm
I Flashed my WM5.0 to Chriscsh WM6.5 before and I forgot to backup my WM5.0 rom... And now i don't know where to get the pass.32 for WM5.0 to use it on Atom life WM6 Flash Rom..
Sorry for the inconvenience..
thank you again for replying..
Let me firstly make one thing clear: was your Atom Life a WWE device originally?
It's because the pass.32 file should be your device's latest official pass.32 file, and meanwhile the language should be the same as the original(which means WWE device should use WWE upgrade file's pass.32, and CHT device should use CHT upgrade file's pass.32)...
hi, sorry but i dunno how to check if its a WWE or CHT? Whats CHT btw? sorry for the noob question.. But as far as i know, my atom life displays an English words..
The pass.32 file that i'm importing is from the attached file of post#6 whenever i am going to use the MWG flashing rom.. Am i doing it right? hmm, this is making me .
There is no way to check if you forgot that. What was the language of your device when you buyed it?
The pass.32 file should be from your latest O2 upgrade file, but not the new MWG one you get. But still, you have to import the one of the right language.

I modified the Atom exec's ExendedROM.img So it can be use in our Normal Atom!!!
Please NOTE:
unrar 5 rar package to C:\windows\TEMP
run device Software Update Utility.exe install!!!
Enjoy!!!
This pic is snap by CHT version
ENU version is same Ext0033 8)
Kobefei,
Have you tested it? Does it solve the Screen flieckering problem or we still need to keep the Batery charged?
Read in the forum that the BOOTLOADER funtionality wasnt avaible in this EXEC ROM, turning a little bit more dificult to upload the original Atom ROM. Would u know if this is still happening in this "upgraded" version?
Many Thanks,

My sentiments exactly. Will this ENU version solve or i should say NOT have the flickering problem and the bootloader problem when reverting back to the original atom rom. I hope soooooo!!! Thanks for the hard work!!!
Has anyone tried this modified Rom atom exec 20060721 on ATOM.
I'm using ROM ATOM EXEC 20060614. This Rom is very good!!!
Cools !!! :lol:
lol
lol
lol
They are captured from a forum and I summarized them as followings.
Possible outcomes after flashing atom with exec rom 20060721.
1) Flickering screen if you REMOVE the battery (so stay away from exec roms if you plan to remove battery once a while, or you occasionally or accidentally deplete the battery). A possible reason is real atom exec use a different screen type (or hardware revision), as it show hardware revision "B" in system information of a real atom exec (later model)
2) New July exec rom does not allow you to return to any previous rom versions, neither via usb ActiveSync update nor bootloader mode, in fact, the bootloader mode in this version does not allow you flash any rom versions, if you try to flash rom in bootloader mode, it will stop and display "pls update in OS mode and synchronised"
3) Can't make a call without using bluetooth or headset, other people can't hear me when using phone mic. Some even added that other cannot hear voice from atom via headset.
A way to do it if you still want to proceed the update .
1) Run atom 0426 rom update program, after the DSUU program extracted the files, don't click "next", go to windows/temp folder, copy those files extracted, except "diskimage_Ver.nb0" and "ExtendedRom.img", then save them somewhere else.
2) Run july exec rom update program, after the DSUU program extract the files, don't click "next," go to windows/temp folder, overwrite with the files you just saved, this will leave only the diskimage_Ver.nb0 & ExtendedRom.img files as of the july exec rom, others become atom rom files, including an older bootloader which allows you to flash back other roms.
3) Flash.
thank you

Thank You! Seems that we should wait for a oficial Atom Update....
Thanks a lot buddy
I just want to know is how to backup the original rom,
using romupdate???
OK
Really cool
I installed the Atom Exec modified update on my Atom. And i tried to install the Old Rom Upgrade of Atom, am getting Country Id or Device Id error. Can anyone help me to install my old Atom ROM upgrade.
Try a hard reset. That should solve it.
Is it impossible to restore 426 after "full install" 0712? My screen flickering much and make me dizzy. Hope someone can help... thx
hard reset can't help. restore 0426 rom impossible.
If you want to revert to the 0426 rom, from the 0721 rom. Copy the eboot file from the 0426 installation to you miniSD card and go to bootloader, when its done you can install the 0426 rom again.

Just wondering if anyone out there would be kind enough to upload one of the new Atom Exec roms, edited to re-include the bootloader option (for installation on an 'old' Atom).
The 20060915 rom (not convinced the 20060721 is really the latest being it came out a while back ... and of course there's the name) with R060822N_MN2ARC_RS00013 radio update would be ideal - but as I'm looking to do a housekeeping reflash, any update from the old edited 0721 mod_n-fix rom will be greatly appreciated.
I have upload Roms but i d'ont know if you want those one!
bedav - thanks for the uploads, preferably am looking for a modified 0915 rom ... anyone out there got one ?
V.V.V.Urgent help please
I am stuck with the O2 Atom Exec Rom Version: 20060915 on the Atom and am unable to remove or re-rom any other version. I tired the bootloader mode: Camera+reset but it will not overwrite it and give a USB error. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it.
****THANKS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM****
I got rid of the Atom and bought an Imate JasJam. Much Better Pocket PC Phone on comparision. Slower and a bit more complex but better in features and works well. It is also well supported in Mumbai, India.
THANK YOU ALL.

I suggest you search through the forum, the solution has been discussed in detail, dont use the SD card to flash back unless you're 100% sure you know what you're doing. What you need to do is dl the edited 60721 rom and flash then you will be able to downgrade rom.
I can't find any of the edited roms on the ftp. Where to get?
try to reupgraded from boot loader!!

User activesync to update the ROM.
I have flashed my O2 Atom with WM5 AKU3.3.3 Final (From Master Jiggs), unfortunately I need to flash back to Original O2 Atom (Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822). I can't do it the DSUU always gives an error.
I also tried with BOOT LOADER method as below, also it gave error
1) Remove SD
2) Remove battery
3) Press Camera button + Reset + Insert battery
4) Connect USB -> Run DSUU
Please anyone can give me the step 1 by 1 how to flash back my O2 ATOM.
THANKSSSSSS
Why no-one reply
I tried to search from here, and try a couple of ways, still can't flash to original rom.
At lease please Master Jiggs could you please give me an idea how to do this?
Thankssss a ton
You can try reverse engineering the upgrade procedure found in the WM5 AKU 3.3 topic. It goes like this, but you'll most probably need the AKU2.2 nb0 file.
(which I currently don't have any idea how to extract from the AKU 2.2 ROM. The AKU 2.2 ROM should be avaliable in the same topic if you need it, but you should already have it I think)
UPGRADE PROCEDURE:
1. Your device battery must be at least 80% charged.
2. Enter into boot loader mode: POWER+DPAD(center)+RESET (simultaneous)
3. Connect device to PC using USB
4. Run the original ROM update (in your case, would be 3.3.3 final)
5. On the Welcome window, click <next>
6. Unzip nb0 file into C:\Windows\Temp Folder (overwrite existing file) - you need the nb0 file from the AKU 2.2 ROM here
7. Proceed upgrading and follow on screen instructions.
PS: I have no absolute garuntee this works. The Atom is one locked down mofo. -.-
Thank you so much Ultimate Chicken
There are questions I am not clear
1)I have the extract .nb0 files from AKU2.2, there are 2 .nb0. Do I need to use this both to replace in C:\Windows\Temp after run the DSSU of AKU3.3?
2) After I executed AKU3.3 and look into C:\Windows\Temp, there is no .nb0 file in there so I don't know whether this is correct that to replace AKU2.2 .nb0 files into C:\Windows\Temp (Because there is no .nb0 file exist to replace)
Please help
Thankssss again
see attached
Q1 has already been answered for you. So...
2) After I executed AKU3.3 and look into C:\Windows\Temp, there is no .nb0 file in there so I don't know whether this is correct that to replace AKU2.2 .nb0 files into C:\Windows\Temp (Because there is no .nb0 file exist to replace)

Click to collapse
That's why the instructions tell you to click NEXT first at the welcome screen (step 5) before doing anything. If you don't you won't see anything in Windows\Temp.
Thank you both of you for the information.
Quick Chicken :
To confirm because I destroy my Atom
If I tried your solution & if it is not working or end up at some steps.
Can I regain back my Atom by flashing it with WM5 AKU3.3 again?
THNKSSS
Repeat Vvvvv
This should work, because I did end up stuck in what wasn't even a bootloader (black screen with large white text that said "connect a USB cable") and was still able to resuscitate my Atom. As long as you have a bootloader that isn't locked (the Atom's, by default, isn't), and you didn't misflash your bootloader, it's possible to reflash your Atom.
To play it safe, remove your SIM and memory cards before flashing.
You may run into a common problem ExtROM_FORMAT_FAIL. If you do get this, your bootloader should be safe (and you should end up in the Connect A USB Cable screen) - retry the flash from scratch repeatedly and one of the attempts should go through.
PS: I still can't garuntee a thing. Frankly, my experience with the hacked Exec ROM might be a fluke or something. Good luck.
Ultimate Chicken
Thanks a million Time I am flashing my Atom back now. Wait & See the result.
Another question from a newbie like mine. You are talking about flashing the boot loader, it seems to be very serious if I flash wrongly my boot loader. So could you please give me a knowledge or a link on this, so that I am not flashing my bootloader wrongly.
Thanks again.....
The bootloader flash is part of the process. It also (thankfully) is the shortest part of the process. Without a bootloader your device won't run at all, and it can't be recovered short of sending it back for repairs.
I can't remember when it occurs, but should be before the ExtROM flash. Your PDA screen and DSUU should show you the details while the event is in progress.
Good luck. ^_^
hi,
i need help. after i flashed my atom life o2 germany xda comet, the gms module doesn´t work. the problem i used this version: Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_WWE_RC2140907B2
i found the german rom dump and flashed via minisd.
Systeminfo:
IMEI: not ready
Version:
Radio: not ready
can i used another radio stack?
please can somebody help me?
TIA
NiKoN
Hi again.
You PM'ed me, that you have flashed the Atom Life Rom.
But you've not talked about the missing radio and imei.
You've said, that you can't flash back the german Romdump.
Now you write, that you've done it.
You don't give full informations, and now you are crying for help ?
Without more and complete informations, I think no one can help.
How did you do the update ?
How did you solve to bypass the CID check ?
What's with the missing files you described in your PM ?
Did you flash it ?
There are many missing informations.
sorry. i copied your 2 files on a minisd card.
my problem first,
if the telephone started to the bootloader menue on step 5 Burn mto/bt .... the telephone needed the file i mailed you.
if the minisdcard is connected and you enter the bootloader, it´s started automaticly without needing any files.
did you mean the cid while starting the upgrade process under windows?
if it´s this, i started the firmware .exe and on the second next to upgrade i clicked next and hold the downkey on my keyboard, bypass battery and active sync.
yes i flashed your dump, but it seems there is noch gms up/downgrade in your dump.
i hope o2 germany released a full german firmware so i can reactivatet my telephone radio stack.
TIA

Additional info: bootloader checks file version and product version numbers; so, for the xda comet - the 12-byte header should be:
08 00 00 00 30 38 32 34 30 37 34 31 (hex)
ID: 08240741 (decimal)
The following files are responsible for boot up version check:
mxip_oem.dll
mxip_oem.ver
My particular interest is the ID. I have tried flashing my WWE Atom with a CHT ROM in Windows XP DSUU, and I only changed the 12-byte header of the CHT ROM to match my present device ROM. In this case, WWE. The flash finished successfully with all the CHT related files on my device.

Yes, but as I understand, he damaged the device while flashing the Atom Life ROM (No GSM/Imei).
That means, something was wrong while update.
I don't know, if it's possible to restore the Radio and Imei by flashing the complete update again.
If it has success, he can simply flash the Comet ROM by MiniSD.
I think, if he lost Imei and Radio, it won't be possible to fix the problem.
@ nikon110:
Have you ever tried to flash the Atom Life update again ?
Maybe the file is damaged ? Download it again.
I don't know, if it might be possible to flash the radio via MiniSD.
hey... thx for help..
a view answers:
yes i tried to flash again. (nothing changes)
yes i downloaded the file again and the version before. (nothing changes)
after reflash Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_WWE_RC2140907B2
i got an o2 setup where i can choose the connection type (gsm)
but i missed some countries.
in the setup there are only chinese, australian and indian countries to choose.
nothing about the uk or others.
the automatic found nothing and the manager chooses australia and a provider from australia.
i copy vl1d_pda_Ver.mot to the minisd
i tried to flash via bootloader an minisd with point 5 burn MOT/BL via UART.
the the device show: Please insert Mini-SD card to start downloading.
after inserting minisd the device show:
-> Found Mini-SD
->Files check error, cannot download MOT.
now the question:
does anybody know how to create the MOT (it´s the radio stack i think after reading many sites) from a new german xda comet?
i think that´s the way to reactivate the radio stack. i hope so...
i missed my device...

Where did you get this file ?
There isn't a .mot file in the Atom Life update !

No, the dump containes only OS and Extended ROM.
If you only flash OS and/or Extended ROM, this problem would never happen.

You must start the update. Wait until the updateutility starts. Don't close it !
Go to Windows/Temp folder.Or better open it before, than you can see which files are extracted. Now you can copy all files to your prefered destination.
I think the file "amss.mbn" is the Radio, but I don't know if other files are needed too.
My tipp to you, flash back the german Dump and sent it back for fixing the problem.
And remember, if you ever want to change the ROM, flash only OS and/or Extended ROM via MiniSD.
Than, I believe, you'll never brick your device.
Hello,
I made the same mistake, as I updated the XDA Comet using the DSUU and of course the radio stack seems to be down. It could all be due to SIM-Locking, which enforces the radio part to remain down.
The question would be, whether it will turn out that updating the radio stack to the German one is possible ? Maybe as part of the Atom Life Kitchen research.
Thank you very much.
I decided to give the WWE 150507B2 a try and the situation has changed slightly, though of course it's by no means corrected.
T-Mobile (Germany) sim is recognized and I'm prompted to type my PIN in. After typing the PIN, the answer from the radio stack/WM6 (whoever might be) is: Unknown SIM Error and I'm asked to type my PIN once again.
System Info shows that both IMEI and Radio are "Not Ready".
A Vodafone (Germany) SIM is not even detected. (and yes it works in other handsets and worked before in XDA Comet).
Again, if the German radio stack could be dumped and the inserted in the temporary folder the DSUU uses, it could be an option to restore it. So if anyone could give a try at dumping it, I'd be more than glad to later perform the DSUU replacement test.
Best regards
Hello,
I made the same mistake, as I updated the XDA Comet using the DSUU and of course the radio stack seems to be down.
I find many life in asia , the radio is 2340, but the comet radio is 2350.
I use a updater only for 2340 to update my ppc. But feiled.
My Comet lost radio....
Can anybody help me to solve the problem....
Thank you very much.
There are 2 obvious solutions
1. O2 Germany publishing a DSUU with the original german software. IMHO the CD-Rom that comes with the XDA should have it included, just in case users want to flash back the device to its original state.
2. Someone being able to dump the radio stack from a German Comet. Of course, learning how to flash it back has to be done too.
Until either 1 or 2, I think that the best chance is to flash back German OS + Ext Rom and send it back to O2 for repair. They will obviously flash it back to the original state.
But I would like to avoid wasting a full month in the process of sending it to O2 and getting it back.
Regards

1. Why should O2 offer an Update to restore your device ?
To restore you only need a Hardreset. If you flash an other ROM, it's your problem and not O2's.
2.It's not possible to dump the Radio, sorry.
Many Atom Life user have changed their OS from chinese to english or reverse.
I don't know if they have all the same Radio.
For example, you can't downgrade an HTC Hermes with Radiobootloader 1.08 with an Radio with bootloader <1.08 it allways ends with a corrupt Radio.
Maybe it's the same with the Comet radio.
I think the only solution is the Service Center.

What if an application destroys the ability to restore the PDA even with a Hard reset? Virus have not striken hard the PDA world but they may do sooner or later and that might be one the undesired effects we may be facing.
Whenever I have bought a laptop, the manufacturer has always given me a recovery CD, either in the form of a full OS CD or a customized recovery CD.
Why should a PDA manufacturer be special and be able to avoid providing me
with a copy of the OS I paid for ? (even if the OS is given to me in such a form that I can only install it in my device)
I am not calling for an update, but the original version of the software that came with my device and I have paid for.
P.D.
It is of course my own fault if I flash the ROM and something goes wrong. Stimmt!
today i got my repaired o2 comet back.
the services changes the pcb. it seems the romupdate killed the hardware.
thx for help scorpio16v 4ur rom dump

I'm sure my device fully attached to cable...
I've try it againt but have same problem.
Have any method to downgrade BL to 1.0.1 ???
Under bootloader mode , connect data cable . Check under PC device manager , can you see " HP USB sync " , If no that may be your pc detect the phone to something else . Just find the device and remove it . after that refresh the device manager and your pc will re detect and correct the problem.
I had see " HP USB sync " in PC device manager. It's still doesn't work.
I've up your ROM via miniSD card...
Have some problem : Wireless Manager, Camera doesn't work ... Any pacth is needed ?
After you unzip the file , there is one file call Extrom.cab , copy and past it in your storage card and run it. This will fix all .
i have some question for imei is show in sysinfo is match with pda ?

No i didn't downgrade my device.
Because my BLoader is 1.0.5 so that i just flash ROM by miniSD card only.
This is step by step to upgrade the Rom via miniSD card :
- First you must have .nb0 ROM had cut first 12 bytes by WinHex.
- Rename it to diskimg.nb0, and copy to miniSD card (root folder).
- Go to Bloader : press "_" both key and soft-reset untill show HP PBL.
- It will auto flash your ROM, it's take approximate 15' - 20' then auto hardreset.
Sorry because i'm bad English

Thankyou for your asking.
Would you mind upload your dishimg.nb0 to us (successful one ) Thankyou.
I have another question.
What are the differences between this Rom and the Atom Exce Rom?
Here is the ROM had cut first 12 bytes.
http://www.mediafire.com/?9qmtogqs1kv
I've flash successful with my device.
I think the diferences between this ROM and the ATOM Exce ROM is very little :
- Just have a HP bootsceen and new phonepad...
Cool man. Try flashing for HP logo again. Thanks
After flash new rom, I find that it has problem about wireless manager and the HP logo on boot screen come after O2 screen. These may because I already get WM6 atom exec rom and I flash the upper rom again. So, I decide to flash back to Roma_pop atom rom. Goodluck
nhocbanme,
i tried the minisd flashing method, but, nothing seemed to happen, so i resetted my ipaq, now it's completely bricked,
anyway to revive it? i tried to run the update file via my computer, but no luck.

Thankyou for you asking.
Do you have the screen shot of the the HP boot screen?
Sorry for my troublesome.
The HP boot sceen is similar in WM5, but the HP boot sceen come after O2 boot sceen. But I think the boot sceen isn't important, I like the ROM no need any patch and all function work well...

2. Unload the battery,
3. Press "_" both key, don't loose.
4. Load the battery and softreset (stylus)
Waiting the white screen, and reflash.

Does it need to install the ExtROM?
Have you found any bugs in the Rom. For example, the camera or FM Radio.
Yes, it's needed install ExtROM.
This ROM is same with Atom exce rom from this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=334917
And i think this ROM isn't have any bugs : camera and FM radio work well (after install ExtROM.cab)
