I can't upgrade to the official Siemnes sx56

HI,
I'm trying to upgrade my sx56 to the new rom (ruuv1.11_cea.20.17wwe_aws.exe) but i got the follwing error :
---------------------------------------------
The rom Image is not compatable ....
your current device info is PW10A1
Rom ver. 3017
Language :english
your upgraded image info :
Model PW10b1
Rom: A.20
Language :English
------------------------------------------------
What should i do ??
I have sx56 updated with xda-developers rom v1.2
now my device info is :
Rom ver. : 3.17.03 Eng
Rom date: 05/15/03
radio ver.: A.20.10
Protocol : 324e4

balo, if I am correct... you can't use Siemens update since it's now modified to o2 rom. If you didn't make a SD backup, you can ask the forum for the original Siemens ROM.
I did exactly what you did... upp'ed my Siemens SX56 rom to T-Mo 4.0.16 and didn't backup to SD first (since I didn't own an SD card before).

Your best bet is to use the bootloader SD card upgrade method.
But if you don't have a PC SD card reader the below is your next
option.
You need to download and run AdaptROM.
AdaptROM can be found at:
http://xda-developers.com/adaptROM/
Place AdaptROM.exe in the C:/Programs Files/SX56 upgrade
utility folder.
Now go to DOS and run AdaptROM.exe from the C:/Programs Files/SX56 upgrade utility folder. Now try upgrading again by running the upgrade.exe from the C:/Programs Files/SX56 upgrade
utility folder.

Hi,
the update that i have is .exe ,i unzip it and do the adaptrom.exe thing ,but how can i convert it again to .exe ,i tried to run upgrade.exe and i have the following error :
------------------------
Cannot fined the Rom image to upgrade you Pocket Pc Phone.
------------------------
and please could any one tell me step by step or refer me to a link to do the sd card method (knowing that i have ruu.exe file)
Thanks

Confirming you didn't have a C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility folder and thats why you unzipped the upgrade file?
If so thats strange because this folder should have been created the first time you ran the upgrade utility.
BTW the reason the upgrade.exe cannot fined the Rom image to upgrade you Pocket Pc Phone is because its not being ran from the C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility folder.
Anyhow heres my step-by-step for the bootloader SD card method:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you’re going to use a .nbf file you’ll have to manually change the “Files of Type” to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You’ll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".
BTW the above is based on using XDArit version 1.0 which can be download from the software section at:
http://www.yorch.net and a PCI USB 3-One Travel Flash reader P/N FPT-D bought at Fry's.

Thanks Qman ,you helped me alot ,I appreciate it
Thanks you

Converting RS-x-xx.bin to RSUpgrade.cp64

OK. I have extracted the the RSU from a t-mobile xda using the xda manipulator expert mode.
Now if only we could figure out how to convert it to an RSUpgrade.cp64 format, then we should be able to use the RSUpgrade.exe utility to flash the GSM rom with the converted file.
Does anyone know how to do this??? :?
Wade

Hmm.. I have no idea but I am in need of GSM ROM. I tried the usual flash method of RSUpgrade utility without any luck and left my xda useless...

can you share your GSM ROM file?
PLease share your GSM ROM file was readed from yout XDA.
I will tell you if there is any conversion to be made and how to.
thaks,

new ROM upgrade with radio_.nbf file
codectelecom: have you cheked this file: http://xda-developers.com/incoming/rom160wwe/RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL.exe
I tried to run the program but as usual got the POWER NOT PLUGGED IN error message due to our devices problems, but was wondering if you could study more as the programs consisted of 3 nbf files: ms.nbf, NK.nbf and radio_.nbf.
I extracted the files but was not able to write any of them to the SD card :? neither xda rit nor OSImage tools would accept the files. Is it because they are meant only for xda2?
HAPPY NEW YEAR, BTW

Backup your existing rom to sd card, install developers rom special edition, this will unlock the phone, then flash original rom from sd using bootloader method.

i extracted the exe file to a new folder but there was not an .nbf file or at least i couldn't find one :?: :!: :?:
thanks

there is a subfolder named english. The NK lives there.

i found the nbf file i had to extract onto itself
i'm using the bootloader to do flash the new rom to my phone
i'm at the step where the device is suppose to recognize a new rom on my sd card
i copied the nbf file using xdarit
i plugged the card back into the pda
now i start the wallaby bootloader im running v5.15 it supposedly should recognize the new rom well the instructions say to copy the .nb1 file on the card but with the extraction method i could only get a .nbf is that why it's not being recognized
thanks

thanks guys my phone is free .... free as in unlocked
these are the steps i took
someone can do in 30 mn what i did in 1 day
-backed up my rom onto a sd card with wallaby bootloader v5.15
-using the xdarit i downloaded my old rom on my PC
-cooked a new rom with xdaunlock at yorch.net
-couldn't create a .nb1 or .nbf file so i took the .exe rom
-with winzip extracted the newly dowloaded rom onto itself to get the nk.nbf file to be flashed (when i extracted it on a new folder there was no nk file listed, so i went back to the kitchen cooked another rom saved the exe "et voila")
-i couldn't get the newly upgraded rom to be recognized when using the bootloader
-downloaded the xdatools to copy the nk file on sd card (i was unable to pick my sd card reader as a destination -weird stuff) so i did this
-from the english folder Abbas is talking about above i right click the nk file to copy it to SD card and xdatools was launched automatically
-plugged the sd card in the phone and started the bootloader v5.15 and instantly the rom on the sd card was recognized
-press action to download it
-cold reboot ( the battery on/off, erase all)

sorry for my bad english

All tools in XDA-developers.com cannot unlock SX56 radio A.33.02 or T-mobile 6.25.02
I developed a new tool to unlock them.

Maybe they should downgrade their radio, then unlock and then upgrade the radio and rom again. I think that is the new tool cgigate developed!

Cannot flash O2 ROM to SD card

I am not able to Flash the original O2 ROm to the SD card.
I have copied the file NK.NB1 using XDAtools to the SC card and did a soft reset.
It does not work. Can someone please help me and give me the exact steps to do the same.
I have WM2003 (tmobile) on the phone memory. Wallaby bootloader ver. 6.22.
Please help me.

Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:

Press REC to Exit

It does not bring me to that screen on the bootloader after the reset.
It just says GSM OK.
please help...

6.22 doesn't recognize ROMs on SD cards ... you have to downgrade it to 5.15 ... and I doubt you can do it coz tmobile ROMs prevent USB flashing
Anyway, try this ... under \XDAtools\binaries directory run this command while your device is connected
pnewbootloader bootloader_5_15.nb0

I just tried and this is what the cmd window says:
D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_5_15.nb0
ERROR: fopen(bootloader_5_15.nb0) - The system cannot find the file specified.
ERROR reading bootloader
Please help me...............please

Oops ... there is a missing "v"
The file name is bootloader_v5_15.nb0

Or just try bootloaderfix.bat
This will do the same... ;-)
Stefan

This is what I got now:
D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
'D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: ITReadProcessMemory - Unspecified error
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect
D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>

I believe this is a DOS error as it can't read "Program Files" as a full name due to the space character.
Try running this command your self from the DOS command window

same error message. typed the whole command myself.

anything?? any answers???
:idea:
:shock:

might be a silly advice ... copy the 2 files to a different directory with a short name ... ex. C:\Test ... and make sure that the device is connected to ActiveSync and in sync

same problem
i cannot downgrade wallaby 5.17 to 5.15 same as diki... but in 5.17 i can use patch wallaby to flash rom to 2003 successful ly... but i still want to know how to downgrade wallaby....

sorry in bad english....

Huray. .. i find the way to downgrade wallby 5.17 to 5.15
may be it's can help u
fist please read this fixbootloader.zip is work for .........
This tool depends on specific memory locations for certain roms.
It does verify that it is talking to a known rom. It also does a very
minimalisitc check if the file presented to it resembles a bootloader.
I tested it with 3.16.52, 4.00.10 and 3.04.00 ( the very old ppc2003 rom ).
It should also work with 3.17.03, 3.19.01, 4.00.01 and 4.00.05.
unpack the archive, from the command prompt, in the 'build' directory
run 'pnewbootloader bl515.nb0'.
it should take about 10 seconds.
output should be something like this:
C:\fix\build>pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0

Hi I am New about it but I have an Idea probably i have download the radio_stack_upgrade form My-Xda O2 web site and also i have Cooked a nbf ROM file from http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ and i have replaced the nbf ROM file to C:\Program Files\PROGRAMME A\english and try to run the PROGRAMME A.exe to upgrade will i have a success on this think ?

D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
'D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

yeah it's a long file name issue
i think it needs to be d:\program^1 insted of d:\program files
if you make a dir command in the root of the consol it should display
all the names of the dirs in the root
and that should make it clear how the consol inpert the progra files dir name

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD

sorry friends but i don't understand somethings in this page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
for example:
"xda os image tool" is want "source" and "destination"..
my source is "installer.exe" from the http://www.romkitchen.de/ ,it isn't .nb1
which m i choosen?wm2003final(there is nb.1) or wm2003se(there isn't nb.1 but i want this version)
and "destination section" is wanted .nb1 , my sd card there isn't anyone.
what m i do?m i download the wm2003final.cb1 and its copy to sd card??
poffff,what m i do now?
thank you again.

if you rename the exe to zip you can copy out the nb1 or nbf file or what ever
one can only use the tool to get the rom to the sd card windows copy dont work
i flashed many times using this guide to the step
