Default Pocket PC 2002 Service Pack 3 (EUU3) FAQ

http://www.cewindows.net/faqs/pocketpc2002sp3.htm

Chris De Herrera has put up an EUU3 FAQ complete with links to OEMs that have made the update available. If EUU3 hasn't been released for your device yet, this page would be a good one to bookmark, and of course Pocket PC Thoughts. We'll let you know as soon as it is available for other Pocket PCs.

Chris has also listed the specific fixes included and a detailed installation guide.

Default Jornada 56x and EUU3

A bunch of us have successfully flashed out Jornada 56x's with the compaq EUU3 with no ill effects. There is a poll and a thread about this at http://discussion.brighthand.com/sho...threadid=65737 for anyone who is interested. So far the success/failure rate is 27/1

Still ... you takes your chances :-) One important point to note, as well, is that the Compaq instructions say it will take 2 minutes when it actually takes 12-14 minutes.

Yep, and it was explained in the ReadMe file.

Notes: The upgrade will take about 10 minutes to complete, not 2 minutes as is shown on the Mobile Device.
I wish they'd put a similar display on the Pocket PC when backing up to discourage use.

This FAQ seems to be missing the essential unofficial info like the fact that you can use a Compaq EUU3 to flash a Jornada 568. (This was only vaguely hinted at - a link to some threads would be more helpful.)

Anyone can go to a manufacturers support site and see if there's an update there.

Fred (one of the 27, luckily!)

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but a search didn;t turn up any results:

Does the Dell Axim ship with all the EUU3 updates in place? I'd assume so...

The Compaq EUU3 is reported to work on Toshiba E570 (I tried it on mine, and all is well) and Audiovox Maestro PDA's.
More information on the Brighthand forum for the Audiovox Maestro:

Yes, although it is still a 'do at your own risk' hack.

It worked ok for my Maestro. I now have MediaPlayer 8.5 as well.

I had read somewhere that the difference between the EUU updates provided for the e570 and the Maestro were that Audiovox added drivers to support using their phone products with the Maestro.

Just wanted to add a tick to the Compaq EUU3 update works on the Jornada 568. I haven't tried out WMP 8.5 to see how much it has improved (I don't have any videos or large MP3 files on me handheld or CF cards right now).
