FW: Bootloader and PocketPC upgrades

Hi,

 

I believe I may have sent this to the wrong address last time.

 

Since sending it I have done further reading and now suspect I will have to reflash my ROM. How is that done when I have no backup ROM image? Methods posted to “remove Linux̶1; don’t work for me, as I do not have the CF sleeve, so only have the boot loader without the Linux installation.

 

Is there no way I can just upgrade 2002 to 2003, as I don’t mind the bootloader staying in place.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Hi,

 

I have bought a used 3870 to replace my own aging version. The new one has your revision 2.19.70 already loaded, which was a nice surprise as I intend to try Linux when I find the time.

 

In the meanwhile, I want to load my backup file to the new unit, but before I can do that I need to upgrade it from PocketPC2002 to 2003. But when upgrading, I can’t get the “Remote USB updateR21; window to appear. I have tried simultaneously pressing Buttons 2 & 4 & Power while resetting with stylus (recommended procedure) many times, and it just boots through the iPAQ splash screen into the Today screen without bringing up the “Remote USB UpdateR21; window. Since I have successfully run this procedure on 2 other iPAQs I assume this has something to do with the presence of the bootloader. Can you help?

 

I got this email address from the bootloader splash screen.
