Help!!!
I was tryting to run program A offered by O2. up to 2% telling me there's a USB error!!!
And now xda is dead. Therefore I am here.
I have a bootloader 5.17
I wanted to use XDArit.exe to copy wallaby patch tool into my sd card to perform rom upgrdade. However, XDArit.exe is telling me
"Failed to open device \\.\PhysicalDrive 11\"
I am running Windows XP. And I have tried on another PC, same response.
Please help...
I've also download a thing call XDAtools.exe
However, couldn't get that to run...
Thanks in advance....
Do i need to swap card with 5.17 patch and rom image???
I found a version of XDAarit.exe that now works, not sure about the version, but it's 1.4mb
Downloaded from...
http://givemebeer.com:8080/warez/XDA/xdarit.exe
I have 1X32mb sd card and 1x64mb mmc card.
i backed up the 5.17 .nb2 patch into 32mb sd card
and the rom image from rom kitchen to 64mb mmc card.
I then put the 32mb (5.17 patch .nb2) into the xda.
It booted up...
I then select remove the 32mb card and insert 64mb rom image card into the xda, then i select "restore sd"
However, it says, "Invalid rom image"
I then press continue, however, it would just bring me back to the main menu.
If I didn't remove the 32mb card and do a "restore sd"....
I'll say restore sucessful. However, how do i install the rom image into my xda?
Many thanks.
Now worked fine.
Now it's ok.
I insert the 32mb card at boot, changed after got into the "sd restore menu"
For the 64mb card, in XDArit (1.4mb version) tick the after 5.17 box (for 64mb card (rom image) only, 32mb (5.17 fix) not require to tick)
Then it works!!
Thanks for listening, hope that it can someone somedays.
:lol:
does it say ''Patching', 'Patch Done!' after booting the patchloader?
Yes, it'll say patch done after that....

Hi Gurus
Ive managed to get xdarit to put the wallaby patch on an SD and it works when put it in the XDA.
However once i get into the 5.17 with patched Wallaby then remove and format the SD on the PC and write ppc2003 to the SD, and then put the SD back in the XDA and tell it to flash the phone it stops with "Diagnostics" showing at the bottom.
Soft reset and my previous OS is still ok. Ive tried loading the wallaby patch and ppc2003 rom at the same time on the SD and that finishes properly in XDArit but it wont even get into bootloader when i try and use it like that.
Im running SE and RS 4.21 on a 64MB XDA.. any clues?
Could you explain in greater detail what you did? The "format the SD on the PC and write ppc2003 to the SD" part is unclear, and might be your problem. "Format" as in "wrote with XDArit", or format as in "formatting under Windows". The latter is wrong.
I faced the same problem here is the solution
Look what you should do:
write the Wallaby-patched-tool.nb2 using the old xdarit and be sure to select Pre-5.17 before writing to your SD card
insert your card into your xda and boot into the wallaby boot loader and once you have the OK, press the "Action" key. at this point you should reach the patched menu of wallaby boot loader.
Remove your sd-card, re-write to it the PPC2003PE.nb1 file but this time make sure to select At least 5.17 bootloader, the re-insert it into your xda and select Restore
It should work fine
Hope this helps
Regards
thanks ArcticCat
You were right!
All done now!

hello,
i'm using the xdatools to put the nk file on the SD card, but when i hard reset my xda, i get into bootloader 5.22 mode, it says "gsm ok", and when i press the action button i get into a test menu.
How can i load the nk file from my sd card? please help.
thanks guys.
Did you place the ROM on the SD card by browsing to your device (...) or using the drop down and choosing your SD reader or XDA SD slot?
I had the same problem until I used the drop down... if you browse to your card, XDA tools will not create a bootable SD.
i used directy dropping down the box to SD
When you use the drop down menu on the destination there should be a drive letter next to your card eg: F: 59.60M USB sd reader or similar, choose that and it should work.
do we soft reset or hard reset
well after loading nk.nbf file
do we soft reset or hard reset to get into bootloader.
also,
the drive letter in destination folder will come if u use card reader,
but if in expansion slot than it does not give the drive letter.
Hello
I did hard reset .
I am having this same problem...
I download to the SD card through the cradle, using the phone's expansion slot. I do a SOFT RESET, to get the bootloader, and all I get is a GSM OK message. If I hit the action button, I then get into the test menu.
Hello
Means you have no nb.1 on your SD card .
as per the instructions I've been following that have been listed in detail here on this site as well as the att siemens support forums, you are supposed to copy the nk.nbf file and use that with the OS Image tool...is this incorrect?
OSImage
I just installed new ROM from new ROM Kitchen .
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
1) Get the file on your desktop ( download or ...I do not care)
2) Open OSInage
3) Source :arrow: Brows to your file
4) Destination :arrow: your SD card (where is it :?: -on your phone
or on the SD card reader)
5) Copy the file to SD card (takes 20 seconds)
6) Remove the XDA from the cradle and soft reset with power button held in.
7) When it says press action to download, push the big button between dial and hangup.
8) Hard reset.
9) Injoy the rest of your day
No way getting SD-Card recognized
Hello,
i have the same problem, the ROM (Made with xda-tools or XDArit) on sd-card is not recognized to download when i boot into bootloader!
I found no way to get this running.
Any ideas?
read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3274
most likely, your wallaby bootloader is not 5.15. Anything above 5.15 won't work. I could downgrade from 5.17 and 5.22, but not from 6.22
still awaiting for some help to down grade 6.22. Nobody seems to care. THis forum has become "too" big that it is not as effective as before ...
People tend to just "shout" and ask before digging deep enough...
too many people posting the same questions into different threads again and again

I'm in the same situation - I have v6.22 on T-Mobile 4.01.00ENG and can't do anything, even with an SD card!
Even the BootLoader downgrade tool with XDATools doesn't work.
Any help with this would be appreciated by many other users in the same situation.
The downgrade batch file in XDA-Tools doesn't work for a lot of people (didn't work for me either). However the wallaby patch should work. Otherwise, use XDARit to downgrade the bootloader using the .nb0 file that comes with the downgrade batch in XDA-Tools.
You write the wallaby patch onto the SD card using XDARit, go into the bootloader and enter diagnostics. Then take the SD card out, write bootloader 5.15 onto the card using the bootloader option in XDARit, and place the SD card back into the device. Then from the patched diagnostics screen select Restore SD and it will recognize a bootloader update. I'd recommend saving your original bootloader from the diagnostics first, but that wouldn't work for me for some reason.
i had a 5.17 boot loader that i downgraded to 5.15 via OS image tools, i also downloaded a rom file from the Kitchen & wrote it on SD but i still can't load from SD & i only get the test phase thing

Try using XDRit instead of XDA-Tools (use the older version of XDRit instead of the newer version). I'm not sure what you mean by "test phase", but maybe your bootloader screwed over during the update? If so you may need to rectify that first, but that's definately beyond me. If you burn the image correctly onto the card it should pick up automatically as soon as you enter the bootloader with 5.15. If you don't burn it correctly then it won't be picked up.
I'm just throwing in my 2c because I've made all this stuff work with a 5.15 downgrade. There's a possibility the thing simply doesn't like your card too, so try a different 64MB SD.
well i do have a 256 mb card & as far as i can tell the downgrade worked fine, now to use the xdarit files to i need to have the SD reader or i can do it the same way i do in XDAtools which is directly into the card through Active Sync
I got hold of a XDA with malfunctioning roms. I get the diagnose and SD flash utilities. nothing else
I can flash to a SD and when i reboot the unit flash the roms with the corrupt data.
I freshly baked a rom in the kitchen, wrote it to the SD card but the XDA unit does not see the rom images. The bootloader is too old someone told me.
Is there anyone ( in the Netherlands? ) who uses 5.14 that can flash the image to my SD so i can work from there on?
did you try the exe method or the XDAtools ?
FORMAT SD?
I tried the tools.
When i get the flashed RAM out of the XDA and put it in a cardwriter the computer says that the card has not been formated and wants to format it.
As soon as the formatted SD is put into the XDA the card is not recognised and the CE boot option is not available.
Rien
you should do the opposit thing ... using XDAtools, copy the ROM .nbf file to the SD card ... put the SD card into the XDA, if it asks to format the card press NO ... goto the boot loader and it will ask you to press action to start flashing
Flashing SD
I have a freshly baked ROM from the romkitchen on the SD.
I inserted it in the XDA, but i see no way to get into the bootscreen and get the file flashed into the ROM.
Probably because the bootloader is a wrong version. A person told me i should have 5.15 to do this. I have version 5.14
Rien
Have you tried copying the .nbf file directly to the xda ROM using XDAtools ?
If worked, it will update your boot loader to 5.15
In case not, in the XDAtools\binaries directory on your PC, run this
pnewbootloader bootloader_5_15.nb0
then try the SD method
Communications
The problem is that the XDA has no other way to access the data then through the SD. There is no active sync of infra red available.
The data has to be readable by Wallby 5.14. Flashing a rom done by the kitchen requires a wallaby loader higher than 5.14 which i do not have.
My request was to find someone who could flash his working rom using wallaby 5.14 to my SD. This data should be readable by my XDA.
As soon as this has happend my XDA should be working again and i could upgrade my loader to version 5.15.
Hey folks and xda-experts!
I own an XDA I which I upgraded some time ago with a Rom-Kitchen version for MDA to ROM-Version 4.00.16 eng and Radio-Version 4.21.00.
Unfortunately this software causes some trouble so that I decided to change to the original XDA software. Surprisingly the bootloder is not working at all and an upgrade via the xync-mode is also failing.
Due to the fact that the bootloader is not working I am not able to change the ROM via SD-card. Any ideas how I can make the bootloader work again or how to get a WORKING software onto my XDA?
Same Here Pls Help
Dear all,
I am in the middle of very same situation :? I tried flashing my XDA rom using the bootloader method (mine is version 6.22) but there appears no options to flash from SD card. Any expert please advise how to rejunervate my device. Thank you
first of all then there is a fix bootloader in the xdatools
second then you dont have to chooose flash from sd in the bootloader it does it automaticly when you enter the bootloader with a sd card with a valid rom on it
this guide show you get the rom on the sd card the right way
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
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".

Still Doesn't work
My Bootloader is 6.22 and there is no way to get my device re-connected to the PC even to have the bootloader fixed. I have successfully written nb1 to the SD card but I believe my bootloader version refuses to read from the SD. Is there other way to get around this issue. ANyone please advice, it's been dead for weeks. YOur help is really appreciated
Thank you in advance
Re: Still Doesn't work
Don't know if it works with the 6.22 Bootloader....
Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 is such a pain in the ass! But, like any problem there is always a way around it. Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 as many of us know is incorporated with a key checker, thus it will automatically check and verify your SD Card for any special written key before getting full access on your PPCs ROM and Bootloader. In order to bypass the key checker, simply download the Wallaby patch http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 and write it to an empty SD card using the XDA-Tools program (remember to choose option 1k under header). Insert the SD card to your Pocket PC and go to you PPCs bootloader (press and hold power Button, then press Soft Reset) and wait for a diagnostics message to appear. Upon seeing the Diagnostics message, immediately press action key (core of the rocker keys under the PPCs display screen) and it will bring you to a new window that looks like this:
Boot -> SD
CE -> SD
Boot+CE -> SD
Restore SD
About
Exit
If you don't have an extra SD card, then just simply remove the SD card on your XDA without exiting from the window. Insert the SD Card again to your SD Reader and format it. Then write the file NK.Nb1 to your SD card (under header 3.5k). In any case, that you don't have NK.nb1, you could simply cook a desired ROM under zipped NK.nb1 format which is about 14-15mb.

coudl not write to SD card reader
Hi can anyone enlighten me how to write to SD card using reader, as so far using XDA rit does not work. it aborts any attempt to do it. The reader I have is multi card reader is it something to do with that?
I am having the same problem , can get into the bootloader ok. But i think it is corrupt. (wallaby 5.14)
The nb2 file i tried to write to an sd card wouldn't go at all with anything. XDarit won't write to the card at all with an nb0/nb1/nb2 i'm begining to think nb stands for not bothering.
I keep getting an error from xdarit everytime i try to write to an sd card.
Everything else writes to it ok. But nothing that gives it the right format.
I need an nb0 and an nb1 because one of them is wrong but i don't know which?? Any ideas...(won't boot, flashes intermittantly, no power light even with power connected(battery is ok)....)
I was trying to upgrade my Wallaby from WIN CE to Win 2003. I managed to mess up the ROM upgrade using active sync and so am now stuck on the white screen!
I can get to the bootloader screen ok (showing Bootloader 5.17 - soft reset with the power button) but can't get the device to boot from an SD card. I have downloaded XDATools and can run the osimage tool but I don't know what name to give the destination file, or what file extension. If I simply select the destination from the dropdown box, I get an error message when trying to write to the SD card (it's a 1Gb SD). I have also tried with a 64Mb MMC and get the same errors.
I've also tried browsing to the destination (card reader) and using nk.nb1 as the file name but when soft resetting to boot loader I don't get the option to boot from the SD card.
I'm well versed with flashing Universals or Himalayas but the Wallaby has me stumped currently!
Any help please?
I hope this help
I don't know much about updating wallaby because I discovered this forum too late, but I updated the rom via activesync. The rom was in an .exe program cooked from www.romkitchen.de (very easy).
I read somewhere (I can't remember) that other ways of upgrading where difficult, I don't know yours.
If i remember from my wallaby you had to use a program to format and install the image to the sd card. You couldnt just copy the nbf file straight to the card. Once the sd card was created the card was no longer readable by windows. But it contained the image and the wallaby booted but i am sure it would only work with a 32mb card
Found the Problem!
Well I finally found out what was causing the issues. Bloody Windows Vista!!! Ran the XDATools on my XP system and managed to load the sd card without any problems, then proceeded to upgrade (downgrade??) the boot loader to 1.15 and now have it running with Windows 2003SE (I think - can't quite remember as I've zapped it so many times trying to get a ROM I like).
