[iPAQ] cannot flash bootldr onto 3870

Hi,

I had been using a 3870 and tried familiar 0.61 with OPIE for around two
months. Lately I had to restore WinCE and the parrot bootloader to the
3870 to test some hardware on the CE and all seemed well after I
restored the saved WinCE images.

My problem started when I tried to flash the bootldr-2.18.54 back in, I
got the BootBlaster1.8 error box saying: erase_flash unlock status ->
0xaa00aa.

I thought the WinCE image was corrupted so I went ahead to use the
RomPaq backup image IPAQROM220.nbf and try to restore it to the iPAQ.
But the RomPaq refuse to restore the backup because the Model on the
iPAQ report some strange characters instead of H3800.

Can you tell me what was wrong and how can I reflash the bootldr? I
really need to continue to work on Familiar for my projects.

Many thanks in advance.

Francis.
