thanks in advance...

There are only two ways to acquire this legally:

(a) From HP Support. To my understanding, no ROM updates are currently available.

(b) A ROM dump from an rw6800 series device that you own.

so is there anyone with the rom dump?

This is something you can do using your own device. Or is your device broken, hence you are trying to acquire a ROM? Your reasons for wanting it aren't really clear.

sorry abt that, cause i've flashed it with a rom i've made myself... i've succeeded in upgrading the bootloader and it all went well... i think i've neglected some of the device driver and stupidly forgotten to back up my device... so now my device is not responding to the touchscreen..

now if i can get the original rom, i might be able to customize the rom... and set my device straight...

A-ha. That makes sense.

It's a shame that HP doesn't have a ROM update available yet, and I'm not sure if there are many users around here with the rw6800 series. You may want to post the same request in the PPCSG.com forums. I believe there are quite a few rw6800 users there who may be able to assist with a ROM dump.

i'll pass on PPCSG... i'm branded as PPC hacker or something there... developing or editing ROM seems to be forbidden there... its like a crime or something...

non...

Well, it is a breach of the Windows Mobile license agreement, and it's not exactly something we endorse either, since as a site, we could get into trouble. But as long as you're not posting the modified ROMs here, we have no issues with you posting or making requests such as the one you've made in this thread.

Back on topic, one other suggestion is xda-developers.com, but I don't think the rw6800 population there is significant at all.
