Problem upgrading from VW website. Arrrgg!
 

I bought the PDA used, from a friend that boxed it up about a year and a half ago. It worked well, until I tried to update the software from the Verizon website. It had bootload version 1.00 when I started, and I tried to download the Verizon update from their website using activesync 4.5. I got a connection error and has been stuck in bootload mode since. I tried the Uni_bootloader.exe to no avail. I also treid the BootloaderFix in the sticky found on this forum. I followed the steps to a 'tee' . I can get communication out of the Mtty applet, and it seems to run as it should, but the memory doesn't match up exactly.

Instead of:

Binary0 Size: 0x100000
FAT0 Size: 0x3D00000
FAT1 Size: 0xA00000
FAT2 Size: 0x2C40000
All Size: 0x7440000
FAT0_ADDR=0x100000,FAT1_ADDR=0x3E00000,FAT2_ADDR=0 x4800000

I get:

DOCInfoTableinitHW+
Binary0 Size: 0x100000
FAT0 Size: 0x4000000
FAT1 Size: 0xA00000
FAT2 Size: 0x2C70000
All Size: 0x7770000
FAT0_ADDR=0x100000,FAT1_ADDR=0x4100000,FAT2_ADDR=0 x4B00000

When I run the upgrade utility it seems to work, until I hit the reset button as the last step. The phone even says upgrade complete on the screen. Then I hit reset and the screen goes half texted and off after a few minutes. It won't turn on using the power button, but the hard reset brings up the white screen. I press the space bar to boot as prompted and it fails again. I can get back into bootload mode manualy, but no further. I can run the bootloaderfix over and over again, but the results don't seem to change. I'm not sure what to do from this point.

Please help

Are you running XP or Vista?
