ROM Download with TRG SuperPilot

An alternate way of getting the PalmPilot ROM file is to use the TRG SETUP.ZIP program. Alex Tang has kindly written a description of exactly how to do this.

I have successfully downloaded the image using the TRGSuperPilot Setup.zip file.

It was very simple, All you have to do is:

download and extract the zip file

install the Trgflash.prc file onto the pilot

quit hotsync manager

Run "Setup.exe", which will take you through a few steps. It tells you to do the steps 2 and 3 from above, then run the "TRGFlash" application on the Pilot

In the "Download Page", select a name for the "IMG" file (which is the same as pilot.rom) and click on "Download".

After the download is complete, quit the installer application (don't go any further in the installation process or you risk erasing stuff from your pilot).

Move the newly created rom image file wherever it needs to go.

I did an MD5 checksum on my new pilot.rom file, and matched the checksum to one I found in an email message I saw on the web from Ian Goldberg on the Pilot-Unix mail list. The MD5 checksums matched:

MD5(palmpilot.rom)= eeb3ffc62e719adcc7000aebc87ae84e
