XDAtools User Manual - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hello All,
I have written up an XDAtools User Manual in PDF format. You guys can download it here.
Please let me know how the manual can be improved and let me know your suggestions. I will try my best to incorporate them in the future releases.

Great work. Keep on going!!!

Thanks. I hope you don't mind me doctoring your XDA Dev. logo the way I did. I didn't have time for full fledged graphics generation.
The manual has a long way to go. I have several things planned for future releases.

Yes. You can use XDAtools to backup your SD Card to a file. I'm afraid, however, that you will need an SD/MMC card reader for any read/write operations to your SD/MMC card from XDAtools.

Good, because there's also still a few things missing from the program as well. Mainly it doesn't signal that it's done very well, and it could be even more user-friendly in a few spots. We'd be glad to hear about bugs and possible improvements.

you should be able to copy a rom directly from your xda memory to an sd card inserted in your xda's sd slot.

What a dream ! Thanks a lot for all the hard work you're all doing !Bravo !

Well... sort of maybe it could be part of XDATools. I would LOVE to be able to "mount" my SD card as a drive, and perform operations on it from the PC. Seems to me, I should be able to use that SD card as a portable data storage device, without having to copy files to/from the PC. Your code that allows raw writing of the SD card could be a real good starting point.
Maybe too much to ask, but I'd love it!
Harry
PS -- GREAT site/tools/etc.!

I think writing a filesystemdriver is rather complex.
the easier solution would be to buy a 30 euro sd card reader.

Btw if you need a PW10A1 tester, you can mail me/find me on msn: [email protected]
Ok. Now it´s done .....
Rom is available.
Until now there are a few linitations with this ROM:
1.) Bootimage are not adjustable. Needs more investigations
2.) Flashing is only via EXE-File possible, because this ROMs are little bit bigger than the normal an xdatools checks the filesize.....
3.) Part of ROm that was reserved for backup is used in this ROM, so those data will be destroyed while flashing.....
ROM is available without any additional Programs (Download the Attachement) and also already included in the kitchen (http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/).
I cannot gurantee, that all is working fine. So flashing is on your own risc....
Also it would be great if some nice guys donate for the xda-developers or for me. Link ares available here and on my kitchen....
If you have any problems, please use this thread, PM to me or Email....
Have fun with the new ROM...
Stefan

In the rom kitchen it's available with additional file size after adding some softs it's 16.1 , is it safe to flash it?
You are our man once again! cooked a rom in the kitchen, flashed it, works flawlessly....THANK YOU!

I think it does not (i repeat, i THINK). The sd-erase bug was a bug in Windows CE 4.2 (WM2003 based on that), and there were a patch that correct that bug (if you have the WCE4.2 source of course ), so WM2003SE should be patched.

There are 2 possibilities:
1.) Wrong device. This only works with Wallaby devices (XDA I / MDA I / ... )
2.) You have rom that prohibits flashing via exe (e.g. 4.01.16) Than you have to downgrade first via SD-card (e.g. Special Edition ROM) and then upgrade to WM2003SE
HTH
Stefan
As I remember I flashed my device with this ROM long time ago, Lumpistefan you finnaly sort it out to let it work GOOD WORK!!!! :wink:
were can i gt the patch
im trying to upgrade i dont have the patch yet sd eraser.
Hi,
I had rom 4.01 and had to downgrade to 3.17 with SD to be able to upgrade to 2003SE, i did that but now it hangs at boot screen and the problem is that i dont have a card reader and even can not sync, how can i make another image on SD or any other solution?pls
Thanks

Blitzing the Wiizard

Right, time for another hard-reset has arise, so I though I may as well get these issues clarified. I haven't had any luck searching the forum for them, but I know there's defo been threads on them before:
1. What app can I use to make my wizard/mini sd card come up as a mass storage device instead of using activesync when I dock? I tried softick but it doesn't work.
2. What's the Registry mod to make media player go to storage card library as default?
3. How do I set up my GPRS/MMS stuff? I managed it on the old ROM, but the latest 02 rom seems to delete my connection settings for fun. Is there a .cab installer I can use?
Cheers guys xx

Are u using the latest softick? I'm using 2.17 and its working fine. Also i think the free alternative is called WMstorage.

CUbe and Bioscroll

Hi
I don't want to install a whole new rom at this time
I am using the O2 UK WM6 Rom
WHats the best version of cube, htc home and scroll to install please
I've been searching but there seems to be loads of variations
I want to try this before going down the new Rom route
i have been where u are now
a word of advice m8 these developers know what they doing and if u upgrade that 02 rom it will slow to a halt thats why they tweak the whole thing to make it run well
i installed a rom 2 daays ago and it was 2 clicks they compiled everything together unzipped folder and click this then click that took 20 mins and the cube is flowing nicely http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342298&highlight=Artemis+Touch+3.01+full
theres what i used it even has all the extras built in alternative networks etc only thing i added was htc to get custom tabs i like cartoonie ones
hope that helps
Also im a noob user not an expert found it easy
I would pm meschle to ask him about his roms, but right now I dont wanna bother him w/ petty material questions. Meschle, I wish the best for you and your family.
So if anyone else w/ experience can help here's my question:
I downloaded his Artemis 3.01 Touch lite ROM and unzipped file. Now what do I do? Do I need to install the EnableRapi and Cert_SPCS cabs before going to step 1? Do I need to run Artemis_USPL first seperately? I borked my SMT5600 trying to put a WM6 rom on it and am very weary of doing it to my precious Artemis.
If anyone could help w/ simple instructs also thanks.
BTW,
My phone is
ARTE100
WM5
ROM 1.12.405.1 WWE
Radio 02.67.90
the Touch ROMs, when unzpped has 2 bat files. It's clearly named "step1", "step2".
Just follow. Shouldn't go wrong. Step1 is actually the USPL.
Ok got it to work but, man, what a wild ride. It's really fast and I recommend doing this ROM update rather than trying alot of cabs.
Hays, its well worth just doing the ROM update. If you use Meschle's ROMs, they are fast and soo stable.

so, is there a way of installing bioscroll/cube without changing the ROM? I can't use the USB cable to connect to a PC (i have to copy cabs onto Micro SD, then install). My USB circuit has blown up from charging in the car so syncing no longer works, and phone is out of warrenty!

i meant that i cant change the ROM, so i would need to install it onto the ROM i am using (standard T-Mobile WM5 ROM)
Is this possible? if so, could someone link to the files/thread, i have searched but not found seperate files, only ROMs.

hi nokser great tip! Is this correct?
make a .bin file with tg01tool and this command: (TG01WP_00.tsw orginal ROM)
tgtool -dec TG01WP_00.tsw TG01WP_00..bin

The difference seems to be obvious. Because .bin file is not encrypted, TG01 bootloader does not waste any time for decryption process. It allows us to suspect that flashing procedure will be faster and collegue Nokser mentioned about it.
It takes 1-2 minutes as He said.
And as I always say, why people use 3-pin method having more covenient and safe way by sdll+.exe ? Only not bootable roms should be flashed 3-pin method.

[Q] Problems with SD card and WP7

Hello
I'm installing WP7.5 onto my htc hd2 and after much reading its starting up.
But then WP shows message the sd-card can't not be read. I search more on XDA and found some tips and tried those , but still no luck ( installed radio 2.15 , ... ).
I'm trying with a 8Gb SDHC from sandisk.
Does any size works , or must it be a 16Gb card ?
Thanks for more advise
Peter
no matter which size, must be unlockd and formatd to fat32 before flash wp7
Thank you , soo stupid I didn't think about that.
The sd-card was ntfs formatted after re-formatting to fat32 and re-installing the rom , its working.
Now it ask for activation code, but much to found about this on xda
Regards
Peter

Yep. I used the online chat and all they asked me for was my phone number and then gave me my code. I was kinda shocked how easy it was. You'd think Microsoft would have found out by now from the sheer number of people asking for a key lol.
I don't know, I would think they should have understood it by now, but I'm not sure since it's still that easy. I think it's 15 $ for a licence or something and they just give it away that easy, but I'm happy. I was shocked to, it was ridiculously easy to get that code.
