I wouldn't give up. I used to have this problem when messing with my 3600 and 5400. Try and find the 4700 ROM, you may even have a CD with it in your kit you got with the 4700.
I would then try and reinstall the ROM. You shoudn't have a problem.

I wish I had a 4700, I am using a 5400.

Have you tried reinstalling the ROM you have?

I guess I would try the next most recent ROM. I haven't seen anything available specific for the 4700 yet.

Its going to be a while until HP releases an update. I might just sent it to them for repair.

Or you could wait for HP to release the now-confirmed WM5 upgrade. Given HP's track record, I wouldn't be surprised if it took a few months, so you may want to send it in if you can't afford to be without your Pocket PC for quite some time.

Excuse me but who can use the rom? It is specific to the 4700 so if you don't own one it is useless...and if you do own one they you are licensed to use it.

The EULA specifically says "The SOFTWARE is licensed, not sold." There for if you have a license for your device as SniperGX then he is legally entitled to use the copy I have provided. Plus Section 3 also stated that if the "download is labled 'For Recovery Purposes Only', you may install one copy of such DEVICE Software onto the HP iPAQ as a replacement copy for the existing DEVICE Software and use it in accordance with Section 1 of this EULA."

There is nothing Illegal with posting copies of the ROM. I think the moderaters are being a little unfair and are not doing their research before interjecting their opinions. Not to mention the specific rom is not hosed on their servers it is on mine so I would be the one getting in trouble...not them.ng.
