Default HP posts EUU2 from Microsoft

Same song, second verse. Be sure you have the HP Jornada 56x firmware update in place before you do this. You may have done this back in February if you had installed EUU1. The firmware is available from HP's web site and if I recall correctly, the firmware update will go much smoother if you temporarily empty your HP Safe Store.

Someone shoot us the links if you find EUU2 for the Toshiba, NEC, LOOX or any other Pocket PC 2002 device and we'll post them here. Thanks!

This is an MS Rom Update. Each manufacturer is expected to verify the integity on their particular device and provide it to their customers. Can you imagine the outcry if HP had posted it for the iPAQ and all the other PPC2002 providers posted it for their machines and Jornada users were left out.

Has anyone gotten the "560 retail" version to work on a 567?

Just curious,

Have you *not* been able to get it to work? There is no reason it shouldn't unless you haven't installed the firmware update.

I have not attempted, but have read at least one post in another forum suggesting this is the case. If you will recall, or perhaps you were not a Jornada user when the first update was available, the 567 release trailed the 568 by a couple of days. The HP website states "560", implying it is valid for all 56x units.

Thanks,

Default Are the updates necessary?

I have recently bought a 2nd hand Jornada 568, and am pretty happy with it (upgraded from a 545). Are the firmware and EUU2 upgrades neccessary? I don't do any networking or wireless stuff. There is also a "Media Player Button Fix" - is there anywhere that explains what these 3 items do?

TIA for any help you can give me.

The firmware update is necessary for the EUUx updates to work. The EUUx updates clearly lay out what the fixes are. If none of those apply to you, then you shouldn't do it.

Default iPAQ EUU Update 2

Hi,

On the compaq site I noticed that there is a new version of the "iPAQ Pocket PC 2002 Update 1 (EUU1)" - Version 2.00 (9 Jul 02).

http://www.compaq.com/support/files/...oad/15068.html

Looks like it has the same fixes as in the HP one for EUU2

Default No use on 567

I tried the EEUU2 on my 567, but it says the firmware is not there...

I applied the firmware about two months ago when I got this replacement
then applied the EEUU1... but now EEUU2 says the firmware is not there... if I try to re-install the firmware, it won't let me... it says the file does not correspond to my device...

Any Ideas???
