Re: [iPAQ] Problems with WinCE restoration on iPAQ device

Alex,

That would explain the problem. The bootldr sector is still locked. Try
   pflash 0 0xffff 0
  qflash 2

again to see if qflash 2 will return 00000000.

What version of the bootldr do you have installed?

The manual command for unlocking the sector is
   poke ram 0x50000000 0x00600060
   poke ram 0x50000000 0x00d000d0
 
then reset it to read mode:
  poke ram 0x50000000 0x00ff00ff

again, try qflash 2 to see if it is unprotected.

One it is unprotected, follow the instructions for loading the 0000
quadrant of your wince image.
