Haven't tried it yet. Not too much I am looking for. I will do it anyway though.

[thendless]

alright! when you have updated it, plz put the system info so we can see what version it is!

[thendless]

Just for reference, the 1.10 they posted a month ago was:

ROM Date: 03/02/04
ROM Revision: 1.10.20 ENG
OS Version: Windows CE 4.20

[Deus]

Went without a glitch What used to say 1.00.10 ENG after a soft reset now say 1.00.13 ENG

[Deus]

WAIT! Why does the ROM date say 07/08/03??

Product Revision Level : 4.0
ROM Date : 07/08/03
ROM Revision : 1.00.13 ENG
OS Version : Windows CE 4.2

[thendless]

Odd... I noticed that they removed the 1.10 update as well... Hmm I wonder why

[Deus]

Sorry I am in the wrong place!! I did the 5555 update These should be the same though The 5555 link ismessed up too. It points to version 1.00.13 instead of 1.10

This is pretty confusing.

Sure...HP have a new ROM version (1.00.03) available for the h1940.
The previous one available (1.10) was dated March 8, 2004.

1.00.03 was released April 6, 2004.
What else is weird is that HP neglected to provide a list of fixes for this new (older?) ROM version.

Why has something that is released later been given an older ROM revision number?
The SoftPaq no. of the 1.00.03 is larger than that of the 1.10.

I'm an updating freak...so maybe I'll just try the update and see what it's like. If not, I'll just flash it back to the 1.10 version. I'll list updates here if I get round to it...the thought of hard-resetting my device though makes me quiver in fear. Hmmmm.

[Darius Wey]

OK...

The good news: I d/l the file to see what it was all about.
And before I applied the update (thankfully), I saw this in the readme:

--------------------------------------
Please read the following important information about updating the ROM on your HP h1940 series iPAQ Pocket PC.

This is a ROM update. It will restore your device to its original shipping ROM with no added fixes. Please monitor the Support and Drivers section of the HP website for future ROM or Software updates for this product.

Well what a waste of a 14.9MB download - me and my poor crappy little dial-up connection.

Why would HP get rid of the 1.10 update though?
