Think about the way that ROM updates work....ActiveSync (which is not exactly a pillar of reliability) copies the files to the temp folder on the PPC, the PPC resets, the update.exe is called to hard reset the device and then apply the extracted ROM image files (13 for this particular update) and re flash the ROM. Would it not make more sense to use a .CAB file copied to the device manually which could automatically be set up to extract the files to the temp directory already on the device and then run from there. I think part of the problem is ActiveSync not copying all the files over correctly and as a result the .IMG file is not extracting the 13 updates properly.

Any thoughts?
