So did anyone notice that the X series wince image is version 6.2.1.9 but the one that comes with the offical 3.02 update is 6.1.7.2. what is different and why is the x series a better version? BTW to force the update 1 disk i formatted my flash disk in testmode and rebooted and the update started. it wouldnt do anything while my flash disk was intact with 3.0

Thats strange. From my checking. the 3.02 update - package CNSD-100FM, comes with 6.2.2.4 in the US and 6.2.1.9 in EU.

 

Here's a chart - package & wince version:

EU 2.009 6.1.7.5

Another thing to consider is that in revision control systems used by software developers, the "release" or "build" version of 2 different projects might start at a common major number (in this case, 6.x.y.z) but have a different minor number associated with each project ('x' can be '1' for F-series and '2' for X-series). Then as fixes and improvements are checked into the different projects their minor release numbers ('y' and 'z') can increment independently as well, especially since the newer project (X-series) might be receiving more changes as they work on an enhancement while the older project (F-series) only gets a few updates in the same amount of time since it's now in a maintenance mode.

 

Newness is relative between the projects because of this, basing it on the build number might make sense but is misleading.

I figured it out. Sd card 1 updates to that version. Sd card 2 updates it again to the regular version.
