New Battery Help Needed

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Your 3955 now looks just like it did after applying the Mobile 2003 upgrade.
That upgrade replaced everything that was in ROM by writing a new image to
that ROM. That's why it was all retained. If you did any RAM patches after
that, those need to be redone, and of course installed apps, re-sync, etc.
If there was a subsequent ROM update, that once again took you to an
out-of-the-box experience, that would not need to be redone, as it too would
have been a ROM update.
