RedBoot Error 0x2


Hello,

	I am trying to perform the following steps in order to restore to WindowsCE my iPAQ. These instructions were found in a message published not a long ago in this board and they were suggested by a nice person in this board :)

Here we go:
(I've copied osloader and redboot_WinCE.bin on the iPAQ, renamed redboot_WinCE.bin to bootldr, used osloader->Tools->bootldr->runfromfile and RedBoot loads fine. Started a Hyperterminal session with settings: 38400,8,n,1,none)

RedBoot> load RedBoot.RAM

Command returns:
... Erase from 0x00080000-0x00000000:
... Unlock from 0x00040000-0x00093d48: .
... Erase from 0x00040000-0x00093d48: Err = 200020

   initialization failed 0x00040000: 0x2(Error trying to erase)
... Lock from 0x00040000-0x00093d48: Err = 500050

and then RedBoot hangs.

	Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The complete procedure to restore WinCE is:
RedBoot> load RedBoot.RAM
RedBoot> go
RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00100000 flash_00000000.bin
RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00500000 flash_00400000.bin
RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00900000 flash_00800000.bin
RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00D00000 flash_00c00000.bin
RedBoot> fis unl -f 0x50000000 -l 0x01000000
RedBoot> fis wr -f 0x50000000 -l 0x01000000 -b 0x00100000
RedBoot> reset

	Right now my iPAQ behaves as nothing happened and boots happily into PocketPC 2002 beta...
Unfortunately I do not have a CF sleeve and I have no provisions on owning one for sometime, because this item has a two month backorder :( So, using the serial cable is my only option.

	Many thanks in advance.
