Hi,

Please help. I was trying to upgrade to WM5 (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade ). I'm currently at step #10 but it seemed to have frozed. I left it up overnight and nothing occured. My PDA2k is now "dead." I tried soft and hard reset, removed it from the cradle. I tried all options listed below...still no luck.
****************************
If nothing has changed or happened in about 10 minutes, try this:

1. Make sure your device or cradle is connected directly to your computer (so no hubs!)
2. Disconnect the device from the PC, or remove from cradle
3. Perform a "hard reset" on the device (screen will flicker but nothing will change)
4. Kill the BaUpgradeUt.exe program on your PC by using Window's Task Manager (CRTL+ALT+DEL)
5. Kill the wcesscom.exe program on your PC by using Window's Task Manager (this is the ActiveSync application)
6. Place the device back in it's cradle
7. Restart the upgrade program from your PC (double-click BaUpgradeUt.exe)
****************************

Please let me know what else can I do?
Thanks in advance.

I'm answering my own question.

I re-loaded the old rom from www.imate.com. Took an hour rest, re-installed ActiveSync 3.7, works perfectly (WM2003).
