DONE: Update: HELP!!!! 2nd Stage WinCE Loader needed HELP!!!!

Sorry, I spoke to soon. I investigated the problems I was having and forgot
that the PDA has a Battery Door Switch. When the second stage loader boots
it first checks the door switch and if it's not pressed it locks down the
device so far that not even the reset switch works. I had to drain the
Back-Up battery 3 times to catch on to what was happening. When you pointed
out that the ROM has the 2nd stage loader I went to troubleshooting it
farther and was scratching my head for several mins. It finally dawned on
me that Linux doesn't use the switch and looked at my battery door to notice
it's post was broke. When I pressed the Battery Door button it booted right
up.

I freaked out to fast and was thinking the worst, this is one of those
simple things missed scenarios.

David,

Don't panic. You don't need the 2nd stage to go back. Download a copy
of SP27073 and unpack it; you'll need it in a minute. SP27073 can
detect the missing 2nd stage and install it for you.

First, remove your SD and CF cards.

Then, press Calendar-iTask-Reset to reboot into LAB alone.

Once the LAB has booted, press Contacts-Power-Reset to get into Rescue
Bootloader.

Cradle the h2200 (with the Usb plugged into your computer) and start
GWUpgradeUt.exe from SP27073.

10 minutes later, Pocket PC 2003 is restored!

I just had to do this myself and it should work for you. Be sure to
post or email me about how this works out.

Regards,
Ted
