i have a recent boot loader so i need to use XDArit to write a card that will allow me to backup my rom right.
so i downloaded XDArit, the boot loader patch, ran XDArit, put in my MM card, pointed it to my usb SD reader, pointed it to the .nb2 file, and told it to write
it comes up with this error (even after rebooting into explorer):
failed to open device \\.\physicalDrive10
what am i to do? is it that you must use SD cards not MM cards?
just trying to think of possible issues, could it be the SD card reader is plugged into my keyboard and not directly into a motherboard USB port?
Hey there cerberos,
Try the older version of XDArit.
It's also best to have the reader plugged directly into your mainboard.
yes the older version of XDArit worked, thank you
XDArit wont read the card though after i've backed the device to it
Try following:
- write something to your SD with xdarit and leave xdarit working
- backup xda ROM to SD
- read it from SD with XDARit.
I experience the same problem: XDARit fails to read SD until it writes something to it first. Old and new versions are the same.
I tried this and received an error message that "the drive was not a removable drive and would probably overwrite a harddrive...okay?"
There are 5 choices in the drop down menu of drives. All give the same result.

well with the new one i get an error of failed to read device 4, which is strange as the reader appears to be device 14
Hello all. I was able to read from my 64MB SD card fine using XDArit, but when I attempt to write to it (or my 256MB SD card for that matter) I get the following error:
Failed to open device \\.\PhysicalDrive23.
I know XDArit can see the drive because it shows the first bytes in the screen. I have tried formatting the card with FAT and FAT32, no difference. This is the third SD card writer I have tried but I have gotton the furthest with it. Do I need to by a SPECIFIC SD card writer to work with XDArit?
Help!
Never mind, fixed it myself.
I had to go back to the 1.0 verson which worked fine.
Use XDAtools instead of XDArit. Much nicer, easier, better.
I am using xda1 and would like to upgrade it to WM2003 (T-mobile CE Rom). However, after I wrote the ROM (NK.nbf) to my 128M SD card through a SD card read/writer by XDA OSImage Tool, I pressed the power button together with soft reset to the bootloading mode and put the SD card into my xda, nothing happen. It does not check the new rom, why?
You have to insert the SD-Card BEFORE you go into Bootloader-Mode.
Greetings, Kaputter :shock:
I also tried that, I input the SD card first and pressed to the wallaby bootloader mode (v5.15).
What it showed was just the "white/red/green/blue" page and checked GSM ok. Any other button I have to pressed?
Chris it means that the card has not been written to properly I think, try writing the file again, if you put it in your xda without going into bootloader, it should offer to format the card for you, just say no to the question then try again, if it doesnt offer to format the card it means the file has not been written correctly.
Yeah, you are right.
When I inserted the card (that I think written with the NK.nbf) in the card reader/writer, it didn't ask me to format the card. When I open the explorer for that drive, I saw the nbf file there.
I tried to write the file several times and same results.
Let me explore my case a bit. I used the XDA OSimage tool and for the Source, I chose the file (NK.nbf that contains the T-mobile 4.01.00 downloaded from other thread in this forum) in my computer (WIN2000) and for the destination, I chose the G:NK.nbf.
Any thoughts?
You need to choose destination from the drop down box, it should show your card reader there, then it will work.

That's your problem right there.
You can't just do a windows/dos 'file copy' to write the ROM image to the SD card. You need to use XDAtools or its predecessor XDArit to copy a raw ROM image to the card. The difference is that the card must ONLY have the Rom image and not the FAT, etc information that gets added in when the card is formatted.
This is why under the correct circumstances the XDA gets confused when you first stick the card in - it sees a card that isn't formatted so it offers to format it so the card can be written to.
The bootloader method is IMO the best way to upgrade the ROM. Read up some more on XDAtools and how it can be used to write the ROM image to the SD card.
But I did use the OSImage Tool already. For the source, I choose the NK.nbf file from my PC and I choose the SD card drive for the destination.
But the actual problem seems solved for me. The actual reason for upgrading to WM2003 for me is to view and edit the office attachment whenever received from my e-mail. In the past, I can't read the word or excel document without activesync the files. Now, by using an add-in software, I can.
Thanks very much to everybody.
I cannot figure out how to copy the bootloader_v5_15.nb0 to the SD card on my reader (Image Mate 8 in 1) in a format that will be recognized by my XDA. All the examples here are will the older XDA tools which I can't find. I have the newest (I think) XDA OS Image tool and I can't seem to figure out how to get it to put the bootloader file on the SD card in the right format. Thanks.

Download and use XDArit.

Thanks
The XDArit program was exactly what I needed. I was able to unlock my phone and my friends and load everything back on it. Thanks
Xdarit is the bomb alright ! I tried xdatools to write to my 256 MB SD card and I couldnt get the XDA to boot from the SD card so I tried Xdarit next. (1.02 version) and the program didnt even execute for me.. Threw an exception.. so then I downloaded the older version of Xdarit (ver 1) which is called XDARit1.exe and wrote the image to the SD card. This time I could boot (by soft-booting holding with holding the power key) and it went directly to the SD Download screen .. smooth sailing from then..
Can I use XDARit1.exe to write to my sd via a xda? or do I must have a card reader/ writer?
When I start XDARit1.exe I get a window with only one option which is to write to disk 4294967295, if I point to write to sd, I get a warning that it may erace a present hard disk.
hi, i've been reading a lot on this forum lately, because i lost my OS while trying to upgrade with .exe file, so my phone doesn't work now, my wallaby bootloader 5.17 works just fine, i just need to upload the OS to the device, i've bought a 256 SD card, a card reader, i've uploaded the rom using xdatool exactly how you say to do it, i've put the card in and...nothing, i reseted, nothing, i went to the bootloader and nothing asked whether i want to get the rom from the SD card, what do i need to do now to start flashing???
ok nevermind what i wrote in the previous post, i know how to do it, all need now is to know how to put the file wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 on the sd card, neither XDATools nor XDArit cooperates with this file format
