| 12:05:05 | nag | russia |
| 12:07:20 | Kero | Do you have linux on your iPAQ? |
| 12:09:01 | nag | I have nothing on my ipaq now :( But had win before - dont kill me... |
| 12:12:49 | Kero | well, your halfway to heaven :) |
| 12:12:55 | Kero | unless you have a brick... |
| 12:13:07 | nag | Can you help me? |
| 12:13:17 | Kero | can try |
| 12:13:59 | nag | I tried to upgrade ROM and... you see... |
| 12:14:39 | nag | Is there any way to restore soft in flash? |
| 12:16:31 | Kero | you tried to upgrade ROm from WinCE to PocketPC? |
| 12:16:43 | | Kero: sorry... |
| 12:16:43 | Kero | ibot, parrot |
| 12:19:46 | nag | I think I load previous build of Pocket PC, it works, and them tried load native version, which backuped... |

| 12:21:08 | Kero | http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/LoadingFromCF |
| 12:21:29 | Kero | second paragraph. |
| 12:22:02 | Kero | has no clue about the process windows uses to reflash or what it reflashes and when/if it reboots. |
| 12:22:05 | nag | Thanks. I cant do this w/o jacket, do I? |
| 12:22:34 | Kero | However, I think there is nothing you can do halfway a bad install, even if windows did not reboot. |
| 12:23:00 | Kero | M$ usually doesn't allow you to do anything, they do it themselves :( |
| 12:23:18 | Kero | If you get the parrot, you do not have a brick. |
| 12:24:53 | nag | Active key+reset? |
| 12:25:00 | nag | I have parrot... |

| 12:36:46 | Kero | You have the parrot? Good. |
| 12:37:09 | Kero | does not know how to work with it, though. |
| 12:37:54 | Kero | Go to #handhelds.org and ask there. |
| 12:37:56 | nag | :) |
| 12:38:14 | Kero | most ppl there only know and care about linux. |
| 12:38:21 | nag | thnx a lot! |
| 12:38:31 | Kero | The person I suggest talking to, is jamey |
| 12:38:48 | nag | ok, thanx |
| 12:38:57 | Kero | Also, it is weekend and America is not yet fully awake, yet most of the experts are there. |
| 12:39:07 | Kero | including jamey. |
| 12:39:43 | nag | i see |
| 12:40:47 | Kero | In the meantime, you might want to search on the wiki a bit more, may be you'll find other names of ppl that know something. |
| 12:40:55 | Kero | good luck! |
| 12:41:16 | nag | Kero, What they do when they have the brick? |
| 12:41:36 | Kero | you send it to Compaq, they reflash it. |
| 12:43:25 | nag | just compaq? Compaq is far enough out of here... Hm... Need hard programmator? |
| 12:43:26 | Kero | without bootloader, iPAQ can not flahs itself, but with other apparatus, they still can. |
| 12:44:06 | Kero | compaq hired another company here in .nl to do the European reflashes. |
| 12:44:25 | Kero | still, Compaq has an office in .nl as well... |
| 12:45:47 | nag | Kero, nearest Compaq service centre in the Moscow... Something about 2500 km |
| 12:47:13 | Kero | oops... |
| 12:47:27 | nag | Do you know jamey's e-mail? |
| 12:47:50 | nag | :) But we have DHL :) |
| 12:48:13 | nag | ..and DHL has us... |
| 12:48:55 | Kero | actually, when I called Compaq that my screen was broken, they sent UPS to fetch my unit, replace the screen and sent it back. |
| 12:49:04 | Kero | all for free. |
| 12:49:26 | nag | UPS? |
| 12:49:53 | nag | why fo free? |
| 12:49:58 | nag | fo=for |
| 12:50:00 | Kero | http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/HandheldsPeople |
| 12:50:12 | Kero | part of the service: one year guarantee. |
| 12:50:47 | Kero | Compaq has been reflashing iPAQ of ppl that bricked it while installing Linux. very generous. |
| 12:51:26 | nag | :) |
| 12:51:34 | nag | Kero, do you know jamey's e-mail? |
| 12:52:06 | nag | jamey@crl.dec.com ? |
| 12:52:56 | Kero | yup |
| 12:54:05 | nag | ok |
| 12:54:50 | nag | I found there a couple of like-Russian-name guys... |
| 12:55:43 | nag | It'll be more simply to ask them. My english is not good enough. :) |
| 12:55:54 | Kero | may be. |
| 12:56:11 | Kero | Note that handhelds.org is mainly about linux on iPAQ. |
| 12:56:30 | Kero | So they may know even less than I do about wince/pocketpc/parrot |
| 12:56:55 | nag | I understand |
| 12:57:14 | Kero | If the 4th column on the page suggests something lowlevel enough, you can try of course. |
| 12:57:24 | Kero | But I think must of that kind os stuff is done in USA |
| 12:57:34 | Kero | s/os/of/ |
| 12:59:11 | nag | agree |
