Hi guys... Recently i hosed my xda while upgrading the radio stack rom and i had no choice but to send it back to O2 to get it back but unfortunately they UPGRADED my bootloader to version 6.22 and i tried to downgrade it using the tools xda-developers created but it specify some errors and wouldn't let me downgrade and so i went ahead to upgrade my OS to windows mobile 2003 using the XDA Tools thinking that's the only way to upgrade it since i cant use the sd card method anymore BUT i was damn lucky and the upgrading process just hangs there.... now i'm stuck with wallaby 6.22 without an OS and no activesync to try to downgrade the bootloader anymore... Tried the wallaby patch thing too but it just wont patch.... seems like there's a protection thingie introduced by 6.22 to prevent us from meddling with the bootloader.... Can anyone plsssss help me?

Hello Developers,
Can one of you let me know the merits of changing to a newer bootloader? I have 5.15 at the moment. Is it worthwhile to go in for version 5.17 or 5.22? Are there any improvements in these or is it just a hinderence when it comes to updating ROMs because of the SD Card Key value?
Thanks.
somehow 5.22 is never actually flashed by "Programme A", so I don't know if it even works. 5.17 gives you more trouble!!, don't use it, it has some kind of copy protection mechanism in it, which can be circumvented using the wallaby patch loader, but it makes it more difficult to use your sd card.
Thanks for your answer.

If you have 5.17 can you downgrade to 5.15?
Please, could anybody share 5.15 bootloader image with me?
Or point me out to the right direction...

Can you just update the bootloader or must you do both ROM and Bootloader? I assume you could do just the bootloader and that you can do it via SD card no?
the bootloader and os are complete independend of each other.
so, yes, you can do an update of only your bootloader.
if you want to downgrade from 5.17 you will need the wallaby-patch tool
Hello,
I have the 5.22 bootloader and reading this topoic, I see now why updating the Rom via ProgramA is not working. Is there a way to downgrade this version to 5.15? Trying the recently released XDAtools, it is not working

Hi all!
I stuck in WM2003PE v. 4.00.10. Since I have been updated to it, my XDA cannot use phone function. Cannot receive calls and while I make a call... appear a popup menu from signal: "The operation failed". I so sad, I don't know what to do now :x . Anyone help me ???
My XDA is:
Wallaby Bootloader: 5.17
ROM version: 4.00.10 (I feel a vindictive hatred for it :x :x :x )
Radio Stack: 4.21
I'm from ASIA
As you known I can not downgrade from this ROM version by exe file.
I can not downgrade from this ROM version by SD card because my Bootloader is 5.17
XDAtools is a new tool. Can I use it to downgrade my XDA? Tell me method by detail, please (sorry, I don't want to sad again).
Thank for all
You CAN downgrade to say, 3.17 (Thats my TMobile version) if you have the nk.nbf file and use the XDA Tools.
You have to do it via the Wallaby Boot loader method... by placing the ROM on an SD card (via XDA Tools). To do this, I think that you need an SD card reader, as XDA Tools does not seem to do it via the phone...
There are instructions on how to do this as well as
A BIG WARNING about 5.17 boot loader.
I did it on my TMobile phone, with Bootloader 5.15.
So, do NOT follow the instructions I have stated here, read on this site and in the forum about how to flash your rom via the SD CARD Method.
That should do it for you..
BTW, when you write the ROM to the SD CArd, it WILL erase the SDCard data, so save off your stuff before you do this.

Thank jta
But, How do I have to downgrade my Bootloader from 5.17 to 5.15?
I tried XDAtools but no success
Anyone idea?
Hi VHS,
My XDA had bootloader 5.17 like yours, and I was stuck with T-Mo 4.00.10 also. I was able to correct the situation though, by doing the following:
I changed the bootloader with XDAtools from Jeff (it has 5.15 included), by running the “Fix broken bootloader” part of the program.
Then, I used SDcard/bootloader method to go back to 4.00.05, and successful. I knew I could use XDAtools also for doing this, but I preferred the SDcard/bootloader’s way then. Mind you that, using SDcard/bootloader’s way was very easy after you downgrade from 5.17 to 5.15. Since then, I could flash whichever rom I want, but not 4.00.10.
If you want to do the same, please read as much for the detail from the various forum here and carefully.
I hope this helps.
Hi beeheij!
Can you tell me the way in order to downgrade my bootloader from 5.17 to 5.15 by detail? I tried a lot of time but no success. I don't know why. And you tell me go back v.4.00.05 by SD Card.
I'm grateful to you very much
Has it occured to you that
"Help me... Help me... Help me... Anyone help me !!!"
is a really, really, really bad subject line ? I changed it to something which may get many more people to take a look and possibly help you...
If you can still use ActiveSync, you could try to use Jeff's version of the XDAtools to downdgrade the bootloader to 5.15, and work your way out from there...
I got my Device just a week ago.
Yesterday when im upgrading Rom, it crashed, i H reset sometimes but no use. Now i wanna reload RS (cause now the resutlt when i hold Power+reset is "GSM Error") and CE Rom but the bootloader version is 6.22 so Bootloader Patch didnt work. I downloaded the source code of bootloader patch, it seems that the patch only run when BL version is 5.17!?!?? When i push SD diagnostic card, only a "diagnostic" string appear but the Patch didnt run. So i still cant reload rom. Can developers check the Patch and repair the source code to compatible with 6.22 BL. i will thank you so much, now i dont know what to do with my Device. (
Any Suggestion pls email to : w[email protected] or [email protected]
Thanks again
Rgds,

What were you upgrading to and what method did you use?
Also were you upgrading both ROM and Radio stack?
Now i cant remember what i did (many step), i just wonder if there is a way to downgrade the bootloader or skip Card Key Check of the 6.22 Bootloader. Any Suggestion ? PLS.
Rgds,

Hi everyone, I'm using an Asian O2 XDA and was running the 3.20.06 OS. I messed around with the ROM from Yorch's kitchen - the T-Mobile WM2003 upgrade, version 4.00.21.
My current problem is that I am unable to flash back to my previous version of ROM, or any other versions. My O2's running the version 6.22 bootloader and I have been unable to get it to boot from the SD card despite many attempts. Anyone out there that has managed to solve this problem ??
Regards
Maybe...
I dont know but maybe u need to use fixboot from XDAtools ?
it should help but i dont really know cause i didnt have such problem...
Boot loader 6.22 doesn't detect ROMs on SD cards. Try the XDAtools with any cooked ROM from the kitchen here and it will update your boot loader to 5.15 which doesn't have this restriction.
I've tried flashing the ROM using XDATools but the it kept giving me a message that the connection was reset by the device.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong ??
Try connecting your device to the PC and sync ... then from the XDAtools directory run this command:
pnewbootloader.exe bootloader_v5_15.nb0

XDATools won't work for flashing under T-mobile 4.0.21

Newbie here...
Got a SX56 (used) and it was working fine. Saw that there was an upgrade to 2003 and like the moron I am, I jumped in with both feet. Now the device will only go to the initial screen where it shows the rom/radio versions.
I downloaded the tool, and tried to restore from SD but it still doesn't work.
My bootloader is v5.15 it seems.
At this point, I just want the thing to work again in 2002 or 2003. If someone has some ideas or a ROM image to go back, please let me know

Maybe you´ve got the same problem than an other guy here in this forum. He have big problems to install WM2003 on his device.
Since you´re getting message of ROM AND Radio version it looks quite good.
I would suggest that you get a new ROM maybe from my kitchen (http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org and install it on your device using an SD-Card and the XDATools.....

Thanks. I tried earlier but I wasn't sure what one to choose. I have an English Version SX56 that was sold through AT&T. It shows Wallaby Bootloader 5.15 now. It shows the correct rom/radio info for Win2003 but won't boot.
What version should I try? I'd like to get 2003 if I can, but would be willing to go back to 2002 to get a function phone again.
Thanks for all the help
P.S. - I was using Mozilla and it never actually downloaded anything when I tried.
Dean
Downloaded a new ROM - thanks - but same problem. Now the unit shows new ROM version but still never goes any further than the boot screen.
Any other ideas?
Steps please...
How did you load your new rom? Please post the steps so that we can try and figure out what went wrong.
