"made a backup
flahed with the new rom
restored the backup"

Why would you do this? To save time in reinstalling??

You have basically "undone" your ROM update... not to mention that you are likely using more RAM than necessary because of restoring...
:wink: :?:

You can't undo a ROM update.

Anyway, I just received a wireless router (of course it shipped before my new laptop :<). I spent about 1/2 convincing my Ipaq to use it with WEP enabled. After the ROM 'update' nothing! Unavailable.

Did you disable SSID broadcast on the router after it was working with the iPaq with the previous ROM?

LOL no mate thats not how it works the backup only bauckups RAM files, you can override ROM files. This method is not recommended since it might break someting in the registry and thats about it.

I installed the update earlier this evening. It didn't go as smooth as the last Rom Update in June. There were a bit more options to configure on the WLAN side. It took about 15 minutes for me to get it connected to my Wireless G Network at home. (Now it connects within 10 seconds!) The previous updates were pretty mindless and I was able to connect immediately. HP is getting a little more geeky for those who don't have very elaborate corporate networks.

The Bluetooth setup was the same and quick on my SE T610.

I tried to put some of my programs on my SD card, like Peacemaker Professional, RD Calc, etc,; so I wouldn't have to download them again and that didn't turn out very well. I ended up downloading them again. I'm not sure what went wrong.

My 256MB Panasonic SD card is mostly all filled up with Pictures and Music. (7.3 MB remains).

I wouldn't update here unless you got a very elaborate high security corporate network. It was a bit of a hassale and I don't see the big benefits yet.

I just did the upgrade and it went as smooth as the 1.00.16 update. I don't know why you all have problems.

I was able to connect to my wifi at home in minutes...

I always hate the fact that I have to re-install all my apps... I'm getting good at it... I now have a list of all my apps and where they are install (SD, iPaq Store file, memory).

HP stated in their updated FAQ on why HP didn't support WMSE upgrades, that the 4XXX series updates were to be released in the "early September timeframe". The 41XX looks to be ahead of schedule, so hopefully the 43XX will be soon to follow.

A copy of the updated FAQ can be read here if you are interested. There is some mention of news on what updates will be available for the h1900 series, h2200 series, and the h5000 series as well.

I did my update and restored with Sprite Backup Premium. Bad idea! Most of the things look like they are working, but some strange problems. Checked Sprite's site and they said not to restore an old backup onto a new ROM. Should have read that earlier ops: . Re-installed ROM update, re-installed apps, everything happy now. I'm new to PPC and this was my first ROM update, just wanted to warn anybody like me that doesn't read all the directions :roll:

I just got a BT Phone (SE T608 w/Sprint) - it is my first BT device so I thought before I spent too much time getting everything here working, I would upgrade the ROM, rebuild and go from there...

I was at 1.00.07 ROM, not having installed 1.00.14 before so off to hp I went and found the update noted here...

Great! I think, only have to rebuild once. There was no note if the were fully independent so I applied the 1.00.14 w/o issue...

Then soft reset, did an AS Guest and tried to apply 1.10 and right after all the files expand to the desktop hard drive I get the following message:

"Failed to load control 'RichTextBox' from RICHTX32.OCX. Your version of RICHTX32.OCX may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application."

So, now what??? Did HP use different controls in the two updaters? How do I fix this??

The good news is the Pocket PC never started the ROM write and I have a perfectly functional 1.00.14 Pocket PC. Based on some of the notes in this thread, I just might stay here, but would still like to know what up here…
