XDARit problem reading/writing SD card

I've saved my ROM to a SD card, but the XDARit program will not read it, I get an error: Did not find correct flash signature, aborting! - and it does not matter if I read .nb1 files or .img files.
When I try to write an image (.nbf file) to the card, it finishes in about 1 second, saying it wrote 65026 blocks ??? I try to write only the Windows CE part, since my boot loader is at 5.15.
Any ideas - I tried reading/writing on different PC's with different card readers, but always get the same error/behaviour. So maybe it's me?
Hope some of you gous can help.
Best regards,
Allan

If it's bootloader 5.17, read the instructions regarding 5.17 on the site...

I have Boot loader 5.15 - ie. the good old one
As I mentioned, I'm running boot loader 5.15, so all the nice tricks applying to 5.17 are not relevant, sorry. Interesting reading, though.
Any ideas why I can't read or write the SD card?
Best regards,
Allan

Oops, sorry for not reading your post completely..
No clue. I've been using XDArit extensively over the past few days. And while it's not a miracle of UI design, it does work for me. Using NT/2000/XP ? (It doesn't work on 95/98/ME)

I'm running Windows XP on both the PC's I've been testing with.
Any other clues?
Best regards,
Allan

Hi !
I have this problem also.
Thx for any helps.

I had the same problem, the SD card was locked as read only... :shock:

Sorry, the SD card is not read-only. But even if it was, shouldn't I be able to read the image from it anyway? I can't read and I can't write - hmmm.
Best ragards,
Allan

Hi all !
I have solution this problem.
Try anoder type of card in XDArit. For example try the SM card. Because the XDArit not recognize corretly the card type.
Sorry my poor english.

In first: Sorry for my english In Second...
It's happen then you use any USB Hub in any type of it. For example if you cardreader don't connect directly to USB port in back of you case, but to any another connector (USB2 on motherboard for example or in you mouse) Try connecting cardreader directly to usb in youe case (motherboard) and all should be OK!

One more thing!
You should use USB 1.1 or 1.0 CardReader, only. Not USB 2.0. This program don't work with this protocol.

How about Usb travel Flash ?
I'm using a 6in1 travel flash. I be able to read up the SD Image backup created by My MDA yesterday using XDArit Read option.
I use XDArit to create a new image and restored back again, it shows that the files are still the original one that created by the MDA not XDArit.
It seems that XDArit not be able to write to the SD Card which was written once.
Dear LeAlex, please advice.
Thanks. There are many users waiting to upgrade theirs' ROM.

I'm using WinXP Home SP1 with 5.1.2600 drivers ? any problem
I forget to mention that I'm using WinXP Home edition with SP1.
The usb driver info for this travel flash is 5.1.2600.
Microsoft so said that USB2.0 is included in this SP1.
Any solution ?

dont think so that xdarit cant run on usb 2.0, i use xdarit on billionton usb 2.0, must change the usb mass storage driver to billionton driver cd, xdarit work fine, but when i try this methode in xp mechine it doesnt work coz billionton dont make special driver for xp

Could you try to reformat it?
because I formatted my sd card with my ipaq 3850 then sdcard reader cant write it becaouse of readonly. So if you format it on xda, I think you can write it

I had the problems that you guys did...
and I ended up using the old version that you can find in some of these threads and that solved my problem...

XDArit new version more problem than the old ones ?

Dear XDA Developer #.....,
I did used the old version od XDArit to read and write the Boot+CE with not much of problem. The only thing to be careful is the Select SD card options because the physical Harddisk is one of the choices.
I noticed you had improvised the new version of XDArit to exclude the Harddisk choice but it seems imposible to used the write to SD option.
It always said cannot open physical drive #....
If i am using a 6 in 1 USB travel flash with Flash Memory on it, is this a problem for the XDArit to reconised which drive is the SD card ?
I did a bootloader backup on the SD card from the XDA, I am able to select the SD drive with no problem, it show HTC$WALLABY00 and be able to save to the harddisk ...nbo. I continue to write back the same file it show the cannot open physical drive #.... problem.
The other thing to confirm, how many block are written to SD Card if i choose to write only the Wallaby Patch Tools Image ? I did many time on the SD Card, sometime it said 2 Blocks and sometime 9 Blocks ??? It was able to write once but the XDArit did not write to the SD Card, instead it wrote to the Flash Memory parts of my travel flash ????
Do you think we are able to have the old version back on your homepage to download, give us a selection of version choice.
I would be much grateful if you be able to attached the old version to me for testing, my email : [email protected]
Many thanks for your reply

The old version is in:
http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/old
Please tell us if the old version does work for you...

Bummer Gus...
Works good for me.... Now I just have to figure out how to use it to repair my radio stack...!!!
Another step for mankind, but a huge leap for Todd (aka OldManTod)...
THANK YOU!!!!!

old version work for me to, now i can write SD cards

We'll rework the current version, but read the XDArit page for the warning on the old version:
DO NOT CLICK 'YES' IF IT WARNS YOU'RE ABOUT TO OVERWRITE YOUR HARDDISK, EVEN IF IT LISTS THE SD-CARD AS DISK.

XDARit NT 4 Problem
Hi All,
I wonder if someone can tell me how to fix the XDArit.exe Entry Point Not Found error when trying to run this program under Win NT4.0 SP6?
I'm new to xda-developers.com, but earlier today I tried to update the CE ROM using the official o2 image and despite my USB connection working for ActiveSync, the update program tells me it can't open a USB port and now the PDA is showing only the progress bar screen. From reading your excellent site I guess I need to create an SD boot card to fix the problem, but then ran into the above problem with xdarit !
Please can someone help?
Thanks
Dave :roll:

And now soon do you expect the newer one to come out please :?: :lol:

Problems after Flashing - XDA1

Hi!
I flashed my O2 XDA // Wallaby 5.15
to WM2003SE.
The first Boot worked, after that, I wanted to switch the language to german, I had to reboot, and from there on, my problems began....
i read about the possibility to re-flash my os with an sd card.
everytime i plugin that card to my notebook, winxp says, i have to format that card.
after that, i tried to copy the nk.nb1 file to this card, with success...
and then, i plugged in that card back to my xda.... nothing happens...
if i press the "contactlist" button ( in bootloader ), i come to some backup modes, but not to read an new os-image from sd card.....
i'm getting crazy :/
can someone help me plz ???

You have to use xdatools to copy the Image to the sd-Card. It is written in a special format. Copying with the explorer is useless for flashing...
HTH
Stefan

i tried this some times....
but do i have to save "NK.nb1" to sd-card (( h:\nk.nb1 )) or in another format ?? for example sd-card image ( *.img ) or *.nbf .... etc
my last try for this evening....
must go to work in some minutes.. ;(
damn night-shift ^^ ( but good thing: nothing to do... just sit there and wait )

Download http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/XDATools.zip unzip it and run osimagetool.
Select the nb1 or nbf file in source and select your card reader with inserted SD-Card as Destination. Press Copy and wait until process has finished.
Insert the card into your xda. If there comes a message to format the card press no or do directly a softreset wirh power button to enter bootloader. Than the image should be recognized ....
HTH
Stefan

doesn't work....
what have i done ? *omg*
if i want to write an image to my sd card, my winxp wants me to format it....
if i do this, the writing works fine, but my xda doesnt recognize the new nb1....
i get no connection to my pc with the cradle ( but there is something being found in windows while my xda is in bootloader mode.... )

hi.
i've read something about problems with winXP, if you want to write a new os to sd card... is that true?
btw. it's still not working....
my pc - sd - card - reader/writer cannot write the file in that way my xda could read it as an new os......
holy ****

i solved the problem i think
the xda os image tool doesnt work with notebook internal sd-card-reader/writer.... or winxp is the problem....
now with win2k3 server it works..... *omg* i'm so happy
thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that is the problem heard a few times, that the internal card reader made some trouble.
Glad to hear, that your device is working again....

only chance to get it work is to use an cardreader.
if haven´t one you can reinstall an wm6.5 rom.
then copy android.zip on sd card and reinstall magldr.

What you can do is, flash the official windows mobile rom. It should solve the problem.
If not , try using with new sd card or without sd card.
if that don't solve the problem, well then there went something significantly wrong!.

Flash clockwork, mount usb storage in that

sd card
Format (32) ur card, if u cant do it with Gparted (live cd).

Hi,
Did you format your card with windows 7 ?
Phone will not work with that.
Use a card reader and try formatting the card with g-parted(google)
