ipaq 3850 downgrade from WM2003

[cruisin-thru]

Can I use any of the tools available here, or are there others I can use to downgrade an ipaq 3850 from wm2003, (upgraded by usb bootloader), the problem is that the ipaq wireless pack just will not work with this configuration, when I try to flash an earlier rom I get the error because 3850 isnt supposed to have WM2003. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi cruisin-thru !

Try this:

In order to downgrade to PPC2002 you must follow this : Download the 2002 ROM and extract the ROM file. This ROM file is 16 bytes bigger than the 2003 one. The 16 bytes difference in the 2002 ROM is header information. With a HEX editor strip the first 16 bytes. Both 2003 and 2002 files are now equal in size. Rename the 2002 file to the same name as the 2003 file, and follow the same instructions as you used for upgrading to 2003.

Regards,
Sebi

Hi guys.

I have an iPAQ 3850 that was given to me a few years ago. I never upgraded, and am now running into a situation where program upgrades are requiring an upgrade to PPC 2003. Seems that HP doesn't provide this anymore.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, or can send a file I'd appreciate it.

Email: geosonar@gmail.com

Thanks,

The 2003 rom for iPaq 39xx series can be found here

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TJ7DF8HG

this is not my link, I just found it through google.

Running this on my iPAQ, no issues

Use bootblaster from handhelds.org to prevent bricking the device, and to backup your device.

With a hex editor strip the boot loader out from the start of the rom, and then flash to root.

You could possibly flash the rom straight to the device, but I wanted to make sure I still had a usable iPaq afterwards ;)

Usual disclaimer, not my problem if your brick your device :rolleyes:

Also been looking at the hardware in the 39xx series, anyone think its a possible candidate for a port to something newer than 2003?

n00b eager to learn ;)

Cheers
