I think I'll just phone HP support...
Oh well I've still got warranty.
Just doesn't like being without it, I need it...

Dont worry. Mine wont do it either. Maybe I'll try another language.
Already contact Hp, and they are sending me a box to get it fixed i guess.
All the tech guy had me do was a hard reset, and try formatting the file store. Sick eh?

so lame

Lots of guys on other forums have confirmed this work. Actually it's the first time I hear it didn't work. May be the problem is another?
We'll wait and see what HP sends Scamp3.

Yes it worked well for me.

Must be some other issues here if your ipaq is not accepting the new lauguage the the filestore won't get fixed. This means that we need to find away to force the langauge change.

I know when I first tried to change the laungauge by simple running a german update the ipaq did not accept the update but when I ran bootloader on the ipaq and then the german update it did work.

yeah, when I get in a mood I'll try Chinese :)
guess I won't be needing the landscape mode then :D

yes! confirmed with RX3115. I had trouble with ipaq file store. If you launch the bootloader on the ipaq itself and then do the ROM update it will delete the file store contents. You must load another language file and reload english to get desired results.
1. Download GER,SPN, or French and ENG ROMs (latest) from HP's support site
2. Unpack both
3. Cancel the automatic flash procedure.
4. Locate the EnterBootLoader.exe file in the folder of the unpacked GER update
5. Copy it to PPC
6. Run it from the PPC
7. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file from the desktop to start flash procedure.
Then you have a German-language PPC
8. Locate the EnterBootLoader.exe file in the folder of the unpacked ENG update
9. Repeat steps 5-7 for the English update

I have a month old rx3715 with the same problem since a few days ago.
Trying to run the enterbootload.exe I get a "wrong image" error, this goes for the german and the english files.
Anybody knows how to deal with that ?
Thanks

:bang:

Gadi: Remove your SD card.

Thanks for that - it solved this error message, but I still can't flash the ROM with the german version. Now I'm getting an error in german, which I believe goes somthing like "error 242: English model ID" and it reffers me to HP to download an appropriate ROM version. How can I fool the program to install on my device ??

Maybe HP has patched the flashing utilities to prevent language changes ? - Their behavior concerning this problem is very irritating to say the least...

Thanks

Gadi · 08-02-05, 04:44 PM

I suspect the flashing utilities from HP have changed. Does anybody have the older versions ? (the ones used by D-meter and kolinchalid)

I still have the files that I used. Could email them. PM me.

I've tried using the German and French version of 1.01.11b update, by running Enterbootloader.exe on my ppc first, but still cannot work. All I see was a white screen with HP logo at the centre. Later when I try to do so with an English version update, it also couldn't work.
All it said was that my PPC is not rx3715, and need rx3715 or higher, for all languages.

1. download the german rom update, make sure its for the rx3715
2. unpack the german update, then cancell the update
3. good idea to rename the folder so that you know its the german update
4. download the english update,make sure its for the rx3715
5. unpack the english update, then cancell the update
6. good idea to rename the folder so that you know its the english update
7. you now have two folders, (usually in root of C drive), one german and one english update.
8. connect your ipaq to your PC via USB and active sync, (note don't use a hub)
9.copy the enterbootloader.exe from the german update to the ipaq
10 . run enterbootloader.exe on the ipaq
11. The ActiveSync Connection is now lost e.g ‘Not Connected’
12. go into the german folder and run the update (ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
13. the rom should then update, wait til its finished
14. connect your ipaq to your PC via USB and active sync, (note don't use a hub)
15. copy the enterbootloader.exe from the english update to the ipaq
16. run enterbootloader.exe on the ipaq
17. The ActiveSync Connection is now lost e.g ‘Not Connected’
18. go into the english folder and run the update (ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
19. the rom should then update
20. Filestore should then be repaired, in fact after the german update mine was repaired

First time I also received the error message mentioned earlier ‘Device ID incorrect, other version of IPAQ’ when trying to update with the German ROM image.
But I did not start the enterbootloader.exe on the IPAQ then, because when used the AS connection is lost. And it is emphasized that an AS link should be available.

Second try I did start the enterbootload.exe on the IPAQ, which resulted in the AS link to be ‘not connected’. However I now could update with the German ROM version, which corrected my issue with the File Store. Was indeed even corrected after the German Update ran successfull.
Then I used the same procedure to go back to the English version.

I’ve downloaded both the ROM’s last Thursday (4th of August) from:
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/fi.../105_6082.html
Hope this link works, its hell finding something on that site!

Good luck to everybody with the same issue.
Hopefully it will resolve your issue, because this problem is a b*tch!

Now I’m going to reconfigure my 3715 back to its original state....ARGHHHH

Zyxel615 · 08-07-05, 04:29 PM

I've done it all like that. ALL like that. It just doesn't work.
Oh well, I'll try again, maybe suddenly my iPAQ is cooperative...

RICOUK · 08-13-05, 10:55 AM

It also fails on my pda, saying that it is not an RX3715, I have tried the files colinkhalid emailed me but they failed, I also tried the files linked by Nero Oberon but they also failed. For some reason, 4 disconected AS icons appear by the clock and then when I hover over them with the mouse they disappear.

Does anyone have an older version of the German ROM because I have an older version of the English ROM and if I roll back one and then try the older German one it might work. Doing old English to new German doesn't work.
