I'm not sure , but why the only upgradable version is the 568?
thanks

YES, ONLY the Jornada 568 can be upgraded with EUU3.
The Jornada 52x and 54x can not be upgraded to PocketPC 2002.
Time to buy a new PocketPC.

When I talk to HP's Jornada support they say :
"From the description, I see that you wish to upgrade the firmware for
your HP Jornada 568 Pocket PC.

At this point, I am sorry to inform you that the only update available
for Jornada 568 is Pocket PC 2002 EUU3 and it works only for Pocket PC
2002 Operating System."

So if anyone knows how I can get hold of the Hitachi upgrade mentioned by Airconvent...

Hi fellas,
I just replied to some of your posts but now realised you were talking about the 54x series. I previously owned this one too !
(history : Aero1520->Aero1550->J545->J548->J568->Toshiba740->I2750)
That one cannot be upgraded as they do not have enough RAM to accomodate the new OS and still have storage memory. In addition, they have hitachi SH3 CPU, not the ARM that the 568 uses. You need to upgrade to the 56x to do this...
Cheers

Hi Habri
I did some checking after my message to you and here is some possible good news :

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...&product=63928

This link seems to suggest you can upgrade your 2000 to 2002 here. the trick is you MUST install the HP firmware upgrade first, (in blue text.)
Maybe that's what you have been doing wrong? No harm trying.
Good luck!

Hi guys....
So did you manage to upgrade to PPC2002 with the links and hints I provided? Do let us know...
cheers

Yes!! I walked to the local corner shop to transfer the firmware +EUU3 file from a USB stick on to my Jornada's Compact Flash card. They then loaded like a charm on to my 568!
Thank-you Airconvent!
