Hi all, I've found a lot of messages regarding bootloader issue after the piggyback procedure (short pin1 and pin2 and hard reset) to bring back to life a death simpad (this is generally done after problems with the software update option from siemens). If you are lucky enough to have the simpad loading the piggyback bootloader you are stuck to the alternate bootloader 2.4 It seems there's any way to install windows ce 4.x images, nor to add another bootloader (any try will return the following message: "Base : 0x1080014 Size 27371523 entry:0x4081000 Overlap: 1080014-2a9a817 && 1f00014-1f74b9c Will fail -- try to load alternate loader: loader.alt") Now I've spent hours digging the web trying to find an answer to this issue. None has never found a solution. It's not clear to me if the new bootloader source posted by Walter Schweizer is a fix. Unfortunately I haven't any complete linux installation. I've tried to compile the source with a fresh Mandrake 10 but probably I miss too much libraries. Is there any soul good enough to mail me a compiled version of this bootloader (I think it should be the one called "bootldr-simpad01.tar.bz2" on sourceforge)?
