Re: Fwd: Qtopia ROM

I just downloaded Qtopia, and the bootldr-1.2.5-hp.rom and after one
session of use I am having the same freezing during boot problem.

I never installed the bootldr that was included in the Qtopia package,
just used the 1.2.5-hp version initially.

UPDATE:

I have reflashed the rootfs, no luck.

I installed the bootldr from the Qtopia package and everthing seems to
be working again. Have booted the device a number of times now.

However, I can't seem to turn off either Bluetooth or wifi, the blue
light is always on. Is this a power consumption issue...?

Thanks,
Mark.
