Windows Mobile 2003 ROM update for 3950

I need an rom update to PPC 2003 for my 3950 IPAQ.
Please help me! [:X]

eBay. It has been recently removed from HP's pages (http://search.hp.com/query.html?charset=iso-8859-1&hpvc=sitewide&la=en&qs=&lk=1&rf=0&uf=1&nh=10&st=1&qt=HP+iPAQ+Pocket+PC+h3970+wm2003&ocoldqt=3970+wm2003&oc=100781 ).

I found it on eBay, but i am from Romania, we cannot pay with pay pal.

Anyone?
Please help a poor romanian.

Still looking for it!

This ebay auction, although prefers Pay-Pal, doesn't appear to require it: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pocket-PC-2003-upgrade-iPAQ-3970-3975-3950-3955_W0QQitemZ8825421112QQihZ005QQcategoryZ15004QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Perhaps you can contact the seller and inquire on other payment options.

Same with this onehttp://cgi.ebay.com/Pocket-PC-2003-upgrade-iPAQ-3970-3975-3950-3955-HOT_W0QQitemZ9744941005QQcategoryZ80346QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Especially this one from the UK -http://cgi.ebay.com/IPAQ-3950-3970-POCKET-PC-PDA-WINDOWS-2003-UPGRADE-CD_W0QQitemZ8832165988QQihZ005QQcategoryZ69927QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hope this helps.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled forum.

Readme.txt

iPAQ 3950 Pocket PC 2003 Update and also Restore Back to Pocket PC 2002.

FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTIONS:

Remove device from cradle and put in "Serial Mode." :To do this, press the POWER button, button 2, button 4 and the software reset button at the same time.

You must stop Activesync. :To do this, check your running processes and kill WCESCOMM.EXE.

Execute "romupdate" from the same directory as the "nb0" files is in.

f you have your cradle connected with the USB, use the drop-down box and change the COM port to \\\WCEUSBSH001. Do not change anything else on the screen and hit OK. (If you don't see this option then you probably didn't kill Activesync).
This should take you to a terminal screen. Hit <RETURN> a couple of times and you should see the USB prompt.

To update the ROM, type "lnb 2003.nb0" or "lnb 2002.nb0"

The upload should start and you should see asterisks and some sort of symbol.It will let you know when it is finished.

Yes it works with a person I gave a few weeks ago.
You have to read the readme and know a little bit of computers.

\\\WCEUSBSH001 can also be \\\WCEUSBSH002 or \\\WCEUSBSH003 etc.

Alright! thanks generosa!

Have you tried it out? Do you recommend updating to the 2003version?

I was wondering if you could help me, as i have problems getting the update to start.
i get to the point in the readme where i should type "Inb 2003.nb0", but it says this command is invalid.
this is what i typed:

USB>Inb 2003.nb0
Invalid command : Inb
For a help screen, use command ? or h

thanks in advance for any help,
olegz

I have no experience with this, I only found this rom to share.
But maybe you can look here for some more information,

http://www.resco.net/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2804

You are very close, maybe this is missing, type password BOOTLOADER
I read at resco.net

# When the program starts press enter a couple of times until the prompt USB> will be shown
# Type: password BOOTLOADER You should see this.

Here some extra information:

Load MultiTTY. Select "\\.\WCEUSBH00? from the dropdown list (if you dont see this activesync is probably still active). you should now see a white screen. press enter to display the "USB>" prompt

type 'h' for a list of commands. NOTE: most of the commands are locked out and dont appear in this 'h' menu. to unlock them you need the device password. im not sure if this is the same for every device but mine was "CPQHAMMER" (to find your device password type "mb 7500 11", which displays the memory dump at location 7500h).

if the password was correct the device should return "PASS". now if you type 'h full' it will display the complete list of commands.

dear generosa

I am very lucky to see the ppc2003 rom for 3950 you offer

Dear Huang,

You also try it with Emule, you can find the same one. Emule is like
Kazaa etc.
If you know an other site to share what is no problem in Taiwan, I will put it there.

Ps. I read at some site that you have to rename it to nk.nb0

yea it works great, and jawbreaker is the most adictive game ever - its worth updating just for that!

im gonna try and put linux on it next [:D]

thanks for the update,

olegz
