Hi, I'm searching a german rom for my ipaq 214. Can anyone dump me one? Simply make a clean boot first, start linux on flash and backup as described HERE (http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaq214Flash). Please make sure that there aren't any bad blocks.
Thanks in advance.

I've got a German ROM, but I looked at your link. The description is weak:

1./ Reboot the iPAQ and select option 2 from the bootloader menu. The iPAQ should appear to boot linux from the MMC card as normal.

2./ Log-in and start a root shell/terminal.

3./ Type 'cat /proc/mtd' and check that the output looks like the following:

Er, how do you reboot? How do you "log-in" and start a root shell terminal? How on earth do your "type" when the iPaq 214 doesnt have a keyboard?

The "instructions" seem to have a lot of assumptions in them, and are not a walkthrough for an "average 214" owner.

I'd like to help... but can't without instructions.
