Bootldr progress on IPAQ h5550

Hi, again guy's

Here is a little progress that i have been able to do in these couple 
day's, on the IPAQ h5550 i finely figured out how to boot it with the 
latest bootloader & OPIE image, once one is able to install bootldr 
2.21.12, then removed unit from the cradle and pressed the joy button & 
with the stylus press and hold the reset button, then release the joy 
button and the stylus reset button, re-insert unit back into the cradle 
and press the calendar button and thru hyperterminal or minicom you 
should have a boot prompt (if you don't, reinstall the bootldr again) or 
(make sure that your hyperterminal or minicom settings are right, using 
Ymodem).
Load to root the .jsff2 file and let it run until you get the Linux 
kernel is installed, at this point you will  loose the serial 
connection, so remove again unit from the cradle then press joy button & 
with the stylus press and hold the reset button, then release the joy 
button and press the power button (still while pressing the reset 
button) and release the reset button and re-insert unit back in the 
cradle, as the LCD screen goes black and the Linux logo appears  press 
and  release the calendar button and you should see the back light come 
on and the massage "Please wait: booting..." and if you look at the unit 
the battery charging led will start blinking, then like in 5 or 10 sec 
the LCD screen will go white and OPIE desktop should appear if it don't 
then, that means that your Flash memory got corrupt at this point what 
you can do is a flash reset by removing the IPAQ's battery with out 
removing unit from the cradle and re-inserting the battery again, then 
wait till the backlight comes on then press the calendar button and it 
should boot up OPIE.

For those who are going to try it the way i described please let me know 
if it works.

Thanks Alex
