HELP PLEASE: rw6828 crashed while upgrading - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

Hi all,
I was trying to upgrade to WM6.5 via PC method on my 6828 when it crashed. I am able to flash the bootloader via JTAG method to both 1.0.1 and 1.0.5 but this is where it gets stuck (white screen with HP logo in center and BL version in bottom right corner) - it is not recognized on the PC and will not upgrade via miniSD card (i have tried Toshiba 256Mb, Sandisk 1Gb, Sandisk 2Gb and Kingmax 2Gb) formatted to FAT and then to FAT32.
Is there a way to get Windows Mobile on via the JTAG upgrade method? ... or anything else so i can get this thing going - or has it sustained damage beyond repair and should be thrown out / replaced.
Thanks in advance for any help!

anyone?? ... i have tried everything i can think of and then some .... changed bootloader version numerous times, tried multiple cards and with multiple version of o/s ..... i am thinking throwing this thing out is now my only option ...

u can't update using DSUU from activesync anymore. since u got broken ROM.
u must use Bootloader by pressing:
-power + camera + reset
-plug the USB
-start the update using DSUU.

Easy fix, check post #12 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319945&page=2&highlight=EBOOT
more than likely you will need a 256 or 512MB SD Card, the method discussed here (in most cases) will not work with higher capacity cards. Check the Atom Wiki too.

well...
after u see bootloader screen and waiting to download.
it should be ok to connect to USB and PC will recognize it for sure!
if doesn't... u should try different computer. not yours. just borrow somebody else computer... see the outcomes? just in case u got error/corrupted activesync.
if still not working... u must using SD card upgrade.
Use any ROM.. use WM5 Official ROM.
Extract the ROM.
put: diskimage_Ver.nb0 to the Blank SD card (use 512MB or 1GB)
and activate the bootloader again.
If your device are normal.. it should looking for SD card and start installing the ROM. If your device badly damage.. it will NOT run both method.
i don't know this is your hardware or Software are damage.
Maybe u should send it to the repair... hopefully u still got the warranty.
If Hardware is the problem, usually they replace the motherboard.
because no way to fix NAND memory module.
just keep trying... don't try one time only...
Good Luck & Pray!

Bro I have recovered from this 20+ times, if its not working (and you can enter bootloader mode) then you're doing something incorrectly, either that or your memcard is incompatible, remember in most cases 256 or 512MB are the only working sizes! So place that EBOOT.nbo into and "empty" SDCard with your PC, enter the bootloader then stick the card in.... It wont take long, once you the screen goes black pull out the SDcard and then enter bootloader, plugin your USB and execute official O2 rom AKU2.2
The flash may not finish completely freezing in the Extended rom update, dont panic! unplug, softreset then flash in DSUU mode...easy as! works every time!

Confirm!!!
I have done this also even using 1 GB memcard, my memcard is NCP mini SD.
I don't know it was lucky or it does work for 1 GB memcard. Even with non empty one.
But becareful, maybe I am just lucky, perhaps you should use 256 MB or 512 MB only.

If you don't rename to eboot.nb0 => Your device didn't flash it => Your device not dead. Have another files in the root folder of miniSD card ? List for me!!!
--Try this way :
Press both softkeys (two "-" keys) and remove battery then insert battery again (don't unpress two softkeys) and softreset, wait 2-3 seconds. It'll go bootloader mode. You can flash your device again.

What is your current bootloader, 1.01 or 1.05 ?
If you follow that menthod but it didn't go to bootloader, your bootloader was dead.
You can send it to HP to repair, or try this way : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DeadBoot
I recommend to sent it to HP.
while the PDA is still can open and bootloader screen
is 1.01
and im trying to use the EBOOT0502_MNT_01.01.03.nbf which found in the
HP official RUU PC flash ROM
and rename to EBOOT0502_MNT_01.01.03.nb0
then put in the root of memory card
then start to flash ..
now the PDA wouldn't reapond to any button HR, SR, soft-key + reset ...etc
only can charge and orange LED indicated

You was flash wrong bootloader due to make your device dead.
Now you need restore bootloader.
If you send to HP, they will replace board you must pay for it.
But you try the JTAG menthod to restore bootloader it'll make your warranty expired.
thx for all ur answer, i really appreeciated.
btw, for sure hp center will replace a board in it and that will be expensive rite?
if i sent to other shop which is not HP official service, will they do the same?
izzit juz flash using tools they hv>?
and expensive?
Here is what I did ... might help you
Hi
Make sure your phone is powered, it would be wise to charge the phone via AC power at least for 1-2 hours before you try to install anything.
I finally managed to install WM6 on my HP ipaq rw6828. But it wasnt easy, it took me 1 full day to get it installed. Just to help other people who are installing this, here is my experience -
What all I did and how I finally got there -
1.
Tried to install it via PC. When I already had a higher version of the Bootloader installed. Best way is to install it via 1GB mini SD card.
2.
After reading other posts I managed to downgrade the bootloader to version 1.0.1 (not sure of the version number...but its the version you get after installing the HP SP34074).
3.
Once I managed to downgrade. I got into the Bootloader mode on my device( its pretty simple to get into BL mode, make sure you ask someone to help you with it, its easier with two people, to get into Bootloader mode - a)press the two "-" buttons on the phone together. b)While the two "-" are pressed have a second person remove the battery. c) Wait for a few seconds and ask the person to insert the battery back. d)Once the battery is in place ask the second person to use the stylus and push into the soft reset hole (its hole on the left of the USB connecter on the phone). e) Wait for a few seconds and then phone should go into the BL mode. f) release the two "-" buttons after it enters the BL mode. Sometimes for me it entered the BL mode after I released the "-" buttons also. But dont release the "-" buttons till you have pressed into the hole with the stylus.
4.
With my phone now in the BL mode and showing the older version 1.0.1 (not sure but it should not be 1.0.5) I clicked the Device Software Update Utility.exe. I got the screen where you get a combo/dropdown with "ALL" pre-selected. The install step clearly says choose "OS" only and not "ALL". But I made a mistake here, for some reason using the mouse I didnt see any other option in the dropdown accept for "ALL". so I selected ALL and did a next. The setup kicked in and I got different screens showing status of install. But on the final screen it got stuck at 6% and stayed like that for well over 6 hours...I didnt touch the install as the instruction clearly say not to disconnect or stop the exe. But after 6 hours I realized that something is wrong and i killed the Device Software Update Utility.exe file.
5.
I did a soft reset on the phone and to my surprise after a while it loaded WM6....but that was it. Has the install failed in between the WM6 on the phone was totally screwed up...nothing worked properly. I coudnt even get ActiveSync to recogonise my device or connect to it.
6.
I tried the whole sequence mentioned in step 4 again but no luck now Device Software Update Utility.exe would error out I assume it could be because of the BL version 1.0.5. So I thought let downgrade and install the older BL version....but with no active sync i coudnt downgrade the device.
7.
Then i read somewhere SD card boot method to copy the EBOOT0908_MNT_1.00.05.nbf from the SP34074 and rename to eboot.nbo. This didnt work either, am not sure if I renamed the file correctly to .nbo(Orange) or .nb0(zero). Well I dont know whats correct eboot.nbo or eboot.nb0. But since this step didnt work. I was really upset as I felt I was stuck...then GOD had mercy on me and I did something which simply worked ...
8.
I took my mini SD card out connected to my Laptop in the SD card slot with the SD adapter. Did a quickformat to clean it up...if you have data its a good idea to back up the SD card in a seperate folder.
9.
Now I had a clean SD card with no files I downloaded the 1.0.5a (for 68x8) for miniSD. I copied the diskimg.nb0, size : 64,000 KB to the SD card root folder.
10.
Since I was trying the SD card method, I connected the mobile to AC power instead of the PC just to make sure I had enough power for install.
11.
I popped the SD card back into the phone. Removed the phone battery. Then entered into the Bootloader mode (refer to step 3 for getting into BL mode). Well nothing seemed to be happening...but I decided to stay on the BL mode .... to my surprise after 10-15 min i got a message asking my reset and goto factory mode. I wasnt sure if it was asking me to do something or was just a message. While I was wondering...the phone restarted automatically and it loaded WM6 ..asked me to do the tap thing to configure like the initial factory setup .. after all this I poped my SIM inside. Connected the phone to my PC. Active Sync finally recognized my device and synched everthing. Now everything WORKS!!! Though there are some issues like the camera flash doesnt come on.. etc but more or less everything seems to work. I havent tried other applications like email SMS wifi bluetooth etc.. I will post soon my experience weather all main applications work without a glitch...but am so happy my patience paid off..
Thanks to nhocbanme for WM6 version for HP ipqa rw6828, my biggest mistake was not to properly follow steps listed by nhocbanme. For people trying to install WM6 on HP ipaq rw6828....please please use the SD card method...it works and takes less then 30 minutes...you can follow my steps 8,9,10,11 to have a trouble free setup.
Good luck

Hi... my bootloader is dead any I cannot locate the fin out to flash my ipaq rw6828... please tell me where exactly are the pin out for rw6828
Thanks you.
Hi WilliamSun,
if you can go to boot loader it mean you can repair your device. You should download WM5/WM6/WM6.1 ROM that design to flash via mini SD. you can download it from nhocbanme's or hellowordl1's thread, and flash your device again.
Good Luck.

first tell me you have old gene or new gene.Check by this method OREFCOV
its serious matter...if problem not resolved ask me or other member to help...ur question is not complete...explain it in brief...
@abhinitagrawal: Flash the gene through SD Card. You can read/write to SD Card using Card Reader.
Do the following
1. Format SD Card Fat 32
2. Copy the RUUxxx.nbh file to SD Card ( ensure you are using the tight ROM depending whether the GENE is OLD or NEW)
3. Rename the file GENEIMG.nbh
4. Restart. Keep Camera button plus power button during restart else it will enter tricolor.
Follow the instuctions as seen on Gene Screen thereafter.
Flashing thru SD card takes time. Please be patient.
If they have changed your mobo, then it might have become a new Gene LOL. That happened with one of the members (hks, if i am not wrong ).
Try to flash an old Gene ROM and see if its booting, if not try vaibhav's tool to determine if its new Gene or not. If it is then you need to carry on with the rest of krazy's tutorial.
Best of luck

HTC HD2 Flashed Rom, Stuch on Htc Boot Screen

ITS A HTC HD2 NOT THE ORIGINAL
Ok I am a really big noob and need some help. I Flashed My rom using Miri_HD2_WM65_21893_Sense25_V6.0.rar, I extracted in and it completed 100% and loaded up perfectly to home screen. I didnt have my sim card in or Sd card so I took battery out and put my sim card and sd card back in. When I turned it back on it was stuck on the HTC screen. Just the Green HTC writing and white screen and thats it. I have read some forums that have had the same problem but i just dont get it. they say get into bootloader ( which i can do) and then flash with radio or something... I am uncertain how to do this. When I downloaded one of them Customruu or whatever it is and open it it says I have to connect through active sync which i cant do because I cant get my device to turn On... I really need some help but it needs to be explain to me like explaining to a handicap person.
thanks
Put into bootloader, not necessary to connect to Activesync as you can't in bootloader mode. Flash the radio the same way as you flashed the rom. put the radio.nbh file in a folder, rename it to RUU_Signed.nbh and copy a CustomRUU.exe in and flash.
You'll find radios and steps here.

When I downloaded one of them Customruu or whatever it is and open it it says I have to connect through active sync which i cant do because I cant get my device to turn On... I really need some help but it needs to be explain to me like explaining to a handicap person.
thanks

hi had same thing myself just rename ruu_sined.nbh to leoing.nbh
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
where do I get the Customruu.exe from? What do you mean flash the radio same as the rom? how can i do that if i cant get connect to active sync? So does that mean I have to download Miri_HD2_WM65_21893_Sense25_V6.0.rar again? which radio file do I choose? I am so confused. Dont get annoyed its just i dont understand all this...
do NOT do it via SD card - flash the radio using activesync as mentioned in first reply. SD card is dodgy as hell and the quickest way to brick your phone for good
You can get CustomRRU from any ROM file - use the one from Miri's ROM
might've been worth reading the n00b flashing thread first as well as well as the first thread of Miri's ROM as all the info is on there...
how come you can't use activesync? what version of Windows you using?
in future i suggest you read the relevent threads and make sure you can flash a stock ROM before jumping into cooked ROMs...don't wanna brick an expensive phone do you?!?!

I can't use the SD card because I dont have the adapter thing to be able to hook it up to my comp only way i could access it was through my phone in hard drive mode. So basically i cant put any files on it without using the phone... Any other suggestions?
futher info from Miri's ROM thread...
"You MUST use radio 2.07.50.27 or 2.08.50.08"

It just sounds like you've got the wrong radio on your device...
Turn off your phone, and turn it back on holding down just the down button. It will go into the bootloader screen (red green and blue one). You can then connect it to your PC and it should say 'USB' at the bottom instead of serial.
You can then run CustomRRU (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575524) with the radio file from this link:
http://megaupload.com/?d=HT7ZMDGH
and it should allow you to flash the radio and work...(put both the CustomRRU app and radio file in the same folder)

I am using a HTC LEO (HD2) with EnergyROM installed in it. Now I was tryin to flash updated version (11th march update), But I am having trouble with Activesync which somehows is from last few weeks. It connects & syncs the device too once USB is plugged in, But disconnects when I try to flash a rom using customRUU..It gets disconnected on the bootloader screen & activesync status turns to Disconnected from Connected..I pull out my battery & restart the device again. This is highly irritating & I wish if there's some other program instead of Activesync that could be used to flash a rom.
I tried doing it with bootloader screen, Turning the device off, then turning it on while pressing down the volume button, It sure goes into bootloader screen, but shows Serial at the bottom & not USB..So any ideas for what could be the alternative for people who face the same problem with activesync, Instead of wasting time to rectify this error, Its better to find some other alternative. My PC is running Windows XP 32 bit, I re-installed my windows when i had trouble almost a month back & activesync worked fine then, But just can't afford to do it every other week or so

It's not possible to connect to Activesync while being in the bootloader mode (The hd2 says "USB" on Windows without activesync too), so it has nothing to do with Active sync. Try another USB-Cable or use the sdcard to flash (see amma2005's Post, but as far as I know, there is no need to format the card again).

leo70 said:
Hi. New here. Done this magldr 1.12 and leo70 rom but my phone playing up badly after a lot of droid and 6 and other flashes. I can't install hardly any rom any more without it - ie: stock, wm6, android, wp7 rebooting constantly for no reason etc.
Done mtty and have bad blocks - about 16 and 16 reversed. done task 28 and task 28 55aa, and task 29 as read in other threads. tried everything with different radios, different nand droid. multiple wp7-hd2 installs. but still reboots.
Any thoughts? If go back to stock+spl1.66 and send back under warranty anyone know/think if they will fix it and/or replace it? they still have old sealed replacement hd2 stock or boards much? do they do diagnostics and look at bad blocks properly on warranty return? Even on stock-rom and stock-spl still does this reboot although not as much. Worried that stock-rom wm6 will "work" too well and they won't check blocks. What about task2a? etc? Any way to install wp7/magldr and partition right so no bad blocks counted in?
Thanks very much.
Will pay for fix that works - $.

I am stuck on DFT boot screen after hspl, htc, magldr- for windows phone 7 on hd2. Sometimes get thru to windows phone 7. but generally reboots. Done spl back to stock and leoimg on sd back to stock and tried task28s, 29s, etc but just reboots constantly and randomly.
Any thoughts here? What is warranty process? DO they replace at all with NEW? or new BOARDS/RAM? Gone back to 1.66 spl and sent in for repairs. because - the stupid recommended Romupdateutility HTC stock rom 'upgrade' did this damage.
and yes, was Windows Phone 7 and activated with marketplace & xbox/live.

Did you check the battery pins ? Sometimes they do get bent out of alignment and simply pushing them back into place gently does the trick.

HD2 Bricked Unable to Flash

I got a friends hd2 several days ago and it was stuck on the White splash screen and wouldn't go further.
I tried Hard reset with keys and it didn't helped to get past that screen.
So i decided to flash a new ROM.
First I installed 1.42.HSPL on it to make myself safe and tried to install WWE version but failed at 9 %.
After this i tried near all the steps from another thread on the forum, the one of italian guy who tried almost everything.
Strange thing is that after trying several roms and failing all the times at 9 %, the phone once booted into windows, and i got this information from it:
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
G 15.28.50.07U
Rom 1.48.406.1 (71294) FRE
But after powering it off it didn't boot up another time.
Also there was a small damage on one of the battery pins but I think i managed to get it soldered from outside with soldering iron.
I also tried with MTTY and it didn't work either.
I got the official rom 1.48.406.1 FRE (because this phone is from swiss operator in french language) but it doesn't flash it goes to 9 % and gives error 290.
Ok, i started the thread because I actually wante to ask the question, why i'm unable to get into the Flash process from SD Card.
I formatted SD and copied the LEOIMG.nbh from official ROM and other ROM's too but when i press Reset and hold volume Down key sometimes nothing happens screen is black, sometimes im going into Bootloader with Serial shown and this text:
"Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again" and in the top right corner its written RUUNBH.
Anyone has any idea what could be problem of this device?
Btw I own LEO too and i never faced any problem till now, it was originally in German Language and i flashed it to WWE and didn't get any problems like this one.

Not sure if this is the problem, but what size is your SD card? I've heard, that sometimes is impossible to flash from larger cards, safest way is to use cards up to 2GB...

Friend, try to flash hspl 2.08 !!
Most likely that is the problem.
Enter the bootloader and connect it via usb to your usb and install 2.08 hspl (search fo it on xda developer forum)
Before instaling it read the instruction so that you know that hspl 2.08 can be installed over the old version of hspl that you installed!!
Oh and update radio to atleast 2.07
2.14 is very good
PS
Did you perform task29 before flashing?

I guess I should try to install 2.08 HSPL, do you think i can use the same HSPL installer and just install 2.08 hspl from it? Because i already tried 1.66.HSPL but didn't worked.
And yes i performed task29 two or three times it finishes with some known output message which is stated on the original MTTY thread to be ignored.
Any other ideas?

you have to flash the HSPL back to 1.42 0000 ,then update the HSPL to 2.08 HSPL directly. if you flash it from 1.66. it can not work..pls be noted. good luck to you .hope you leo can be used again.

Ok I installed 2.08.HSPL from 1.42.HSPL and it went successfully, now i see 2.08.HSPL on bootloader but it still fails to update ROM. Stops at 8 % on the phone with rectangle mark, and on the pc it stops at 9 %.
I get Error 290 - Unknown Command
But why i cant go into sd card flash screen when i press reset and volume down ?
I just used another 2 gb microSD and added LEOIMG.nbh from official FRE ROM and it doesnt work.
Hey bud,
I was having the same problem: the flashing didn't want to start by doing a reset+vol.down. I somehow got around this by putting the leoimg.nbh on my mircoSD card, and then started the flashing from my computer by running the .exe that contains the RUU (for ActiveSync flashing). This "magically" triggered the flashing from the mircoSD card (it showed me a screen whether i wanted to update leoimg.nbh). On this screen, pressing vol.down would start the flashing through ActiveSync, and pressing the power button would start the flashing from leoimg.nbh from your microSD card. In the last case, the update on your computer will stall at 0%, this is just because you're not running the update from your computer, but from your phone. On your computer it will time-out, but the update on your phone will continue!
I hope this works! But you're doing this on your own responsibility ;p

Hmmm this kinda messed me up.
What EXE file you run on the pc so it triggered update from SD ?
Because it's upossible to connect with activesync and browse to sd without the phone being fully operational (winmo running).
So i would say maby you just got it somehow with key kombination, because it would be impossible to run it the way you say. Or maby i'm wrong.
Could you be more specific about how you exactly run that process?
Thanks for your kind help. Gjizaqin
Well, whatever ROM you want to flash,
when you download this ROM, the .nbh file is packed in a .exe file.
You transfer the .nbh file to your microSD (rename to leoimg.nbh), and you can run the .exe file to flash through ActiveSync.

For me it was possible: reset your phone with the volume button down, to get to the tri-color screen. It shows "serial" on it. When you then connect your phone using your USB cable, it should switch to "USB", after which you can run the ActiveSync flashing.

Whell, by doing this procedure your doing normal ROM Update, and it's not doing update from sd card.
Anyways i tried this way too but not successful, its stuck on 8 % and stay's that way for about 3 minutes, than it gives me error 362 on the loader.
Anyways thanks for your help mate.
Anyone with experience can give me advice what to do with this phone?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, tried all sorts with no luck. Can't get SD card install to work either.
Oh this sounds fun, I can no longer run active syn with my leo, the computer reports that my "usb device is not functioning properly"
I have re downloaded sync, try as I might I cant it back up and running, I wish everyone else the best of luck
This might be just a little bit off topic, but does anybody know how it is possible that some SD cards are good for flashing ROM's and other (mostly the larger) aren't?
Do you also need to copy the folder "program files" from the SD card you've flashed the ROM with to the other SD card, when you'd like to use this for your device?

There has been reported problems with some 16GBmSD cards when it comes to flashing from them.
The only thing you need on the mSD card is the LEOIMG.nbh file.

If you boot up your phone to Bootloader mode (but not connected to the computer), the bottom of the screen reads 'Serial'. If you now plug it into the computer, does it change to 'USB'?
Your computer error message is just saying that the computer cannot install a driver to communicate properly with your phone. Since your phone isn't fully loaded into WinMo then your computer isn't going to recognise it as a WinMo device. So don't worry about that message.
