'Remote USB Update' mode 3970

Can anybody help me get my IPAQ 3970 into 'remote usb update' mode. I have basically had a drama upgrading to 2003 and now my ppc has gone into meltdown. I've made good headway following advice in other forums for 38xx ipaqs ( trying to use host11.exe & hexeditor to update ROM) but that model is set by pressing buttons 2,4,power & reset which doesn't work on mine. So now I'm stuck....please help

I fixed it later on with some searches on the internet, but forgot where I got it from. But my procedure is as follows:

1. Put your 3970 into Engineering mode
Press Contact (2nd) + iTask (4th) + Power + Soft Reset
It will show a red background with "Serial" on top and "0.48" on the bottom.

2. On your PC, end "wcecomm.exe" process
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to call up the Task Manager and end the above process

3. Download the latest ROM for your 3970 (don't know what OS version you have, PPC2002 or PPC2003)

4. Run the ROM executable file to extract to C:\IPAQ directory
it should create a sub folder as the exe file

5. Connect the 3970 to the PC via the USB cradle
Make sure you have the power cord connected to the cradle as well, otherwise it may not work. Do NOT use a USB sync-charge cable!!! I tried to use it and it did NOT work.

6. Run RUU.exe file
This will go straight to the last screen before applying the ROM update

If this still does not fix the problem, I really have no idea how to get this resolved.

Good luck.

I've tried reinstalling active sync and lots of soft/hard resetting but no joy.......has anyone got any suggestions??
