[iPAQ] New h5450 semi-bricked :/ <-- fixed!

Hi,

just got it back to normal.
Important thing, please note that in the pdating guide:
Use Activesync 3.7, 3.5 as comes with the CD (at least my cd) doesnt work!
The battery problem somehow fixed itself after charging for about 6hrs
(in this time battery indicator went from 100 to 0% and then jumped back
to 100, where it started to work normally).
Now having updated first to rom 1.11.x and then the wlan firmware to x.39.
Now uploading OPIE again via serial port, takes forever.I would really
like it if it was possible to load the image over sd-card or usb.
