TITLE:
HP iPAQ h6300 Pocket PC ROM Update
VERSION:
1.10.08
DESCRIPTION:
This package contains the ROM Update Utility (RUU) and ROM image for the listed handheld model and operating system. The ROM Update Utility replaces the current ROM image on the handheld with an updated version. IMPORTANT: The RUU replaces the current ROM image and erase the partnership and all user data and user-installed programs on the handheld. It is important to read and understand the information in the Readme.txt file included with this update BEFORE installing this package. Use Microsoft ActiveSync to synchronize the personal information manager (PIM) data with Microsoft Outlook on a desktop and to save a copy of user data, if any, before performing the ROM update. After completing the ROM update, establish a new ActiveSync partnership with the desktop. The handheld will be synchronized with the PIM data from Outlook. Reinstall any user-installed programs and user data, if necessary. Because of changes in the registry and system files introduced by the new ROM, the new ROM will not recognize a backup file generated using the previous ROM.
