partition root is a jffs2 partition:
expecting .jffs2 or wince_image.gz.

loading flash region root
using ymodem
ready for YMODEM transfer...

file is from 2007.12 images
in my desparate i even flashed / erased the root partition so now I am ended up with no bootable device at all (bootloader IS WORKING)

Hi,
I believe this is the latest hh.org bootloader - you don't need to update it.
If you own a cf card you can try to copy it this should be the easiest way!

well it just shows a lot of (approx 6-8) "?" left of the ymodem box where it should show something useful.
Hope this helps you anything I am lost )
