The program that is loaded into flash is called the
bootloader

change but the build date does.
When updating system components such as the
bootloader
back up any data you need on to a storage card
and then perform a cold reset to your mobile computer. The
backup utility of ActiveSync may be very useful to your
needs.
To check the build date of the bootloader, reset your mobile
computer. The date of the bootloader is on the fifth line

want to update the bootloader if you are also updating the
PC image on your mobile computer.
