Re: sdg booloader dont work

as far as I remember, you have to boot your hx4700 with some buttons
pressed to access the SDG flash utility. quoting from the same howto you
followed:

"Insert the CF card into the slot on the iPAQ, and start the SDG
bootloader's flash utility by depressing the Contacts and Inbox buttons
and pressing (with the stylus) and releasing the Reset button at the
bottom of the device."

in fact maybe is not that clear.. anyway, try to reboot (reset) your
hx4700 while pressing the Contacts and Inbox buttons. that should do the
trick ^_-

if you were already doing this, well, I'm sorry but I have no idea about
 what's going wrong -_-
