The error message (608) could indicate a problem with the power supply - at least that's been the case when other IPAQ users have encountered this error when attempting to run a ROM update on their pocket pcs. Is your Pocket PC plugged directly into AC power for this procedure? Also please confirm that you are plugging the USB cord directly into a USB port on the computer and are not using a USB hub.

I don't know why you have an issue receiving help from me because I am a moderator. I am probably one of the more knowledgable IPAQ users on this board - I own 4 different IPAQs and am a frequent poster on the HP IPAQ forum, so what's the problem?
