Hi guys i really hope u guys can help me with my DEAD xda. The problem with it now is it does start or on at all after i tried to downgrade the bootloader from 6.22 to 5.15 using the sd card method. Here is a detailed description of what i did....
First i downloaded the Updated wallaby patch tool for bootloader 6.22 from 1 of the links i found on this forum then i wrote it to a sd card using xdarit.exe It worked fine and patched my bootloader 6.22 so i could access the extra functions... Then i removed the sd card and went on to write the 5.15 bootloader file to it using the xdarit also... i selected at least 5.17 for the header cos my currect bootloader was still 6.22 (Maybe this is the cause of the whole problem?) and i went on to write the file to the sd card... after that i insert it back to my xda and select restore sd and was prompted with an invalid rom image but i selected continue since i thought i didn't write any rom images to the sd card and so the invalid rom image error.. after that i was greeted with a bootloader image heading and i pressed action to start the overwriting of the bootloader... All went well and the checksum was ok... Lastly i was asked to cold reset the xda and my xda never went back on again.... The most i could do was to get the xda to a blank white screen doing a conbinations of holding power, resetting and hard resetting.... Can you guys help me? I know i'm in deep ****.....
Man!
Well I've never messed with the boot loader as far as down nor upgrade but I think you should have used XDATools instead of XDARit to do the job.
Anyhow take a look at the below thread you might finds some useful info. there:

Hey Jaron
Send your xda to cgigate.
He can repair it for you (of course u have to pay him).
He just fix my own one and I am waiting for the returned MDA.
BTW, I've done the same silly thing that you did.
Hope it's help.

Hello All
Today I tried to upgrade my XDA. I used an usb-hub, wich caused the upgrade to hang . After this my XDA was dead.
I have read that it is possible to flash my device by using my SD card.
What I need is a bootloader (*.nb0) and a windows CE (*.nb1) file. My provider is O2-NL. Eng. europe version
Can anyone help me plz :?:
Eric
You do not need the bootloader file, the bootloader should still be there. Try holding the power button pressed while performing a soft reset (large hole), and see if the bootloader comes up.
The OS you already have, it is the large .nbf file that came with the "Programme A" upgrade software (in the 'English' directory). Just download XDA Rom Image Tool and write that nbf file to an SD card and away you go.
(Life gets a little bit more complicated if you have version 5.17 of the bootloader, but it's all documented on this site.)
Good luck...
XDA Died
After a botched upgrade, I too was left with a dead XDA, but I went down to the store where I bought it (Oxford street London by the Bond St Tube station), and there I befriended one of the guys, asked if they had a charged XDA in store, explained my situation to him, and then downloaded the flash from one of the store phones. It took about five minutes, but subsequently, my phone is back in business!
Much better than mailing it in...
Jim
i still have my xda not work, dunno how to flash it again coz dont have usb card reader. i just have 2 xda with 5.17 bootloader and 1 sd card 256m,need help soon
The situation, that you have 2 xda, make the situation much easier.
(Thinking, one of them is working....)
Make a backup of the CD-Card and insert it into the working xda. Enter the bootloader and make a rom Image to the sd card.
(may take a while)
Then insert the sd card in the malfunction xda ant enter the bootloader mode. It shows you a screen, that a rom-Image is found on sd, and asks you if you want to install it. Just do it.
This take also a while.
Questions about the bootloader will be answered at this webpage here.
Attention: Data on SD will be lost in this process, so be sure, to make a copy of the data...
Regards
Stefan
thx LumpiStefan for the answer,
but there is a problem coz 2 of them are using the same bootloader 5.17 that have some security feature so i cant make a backup from the working xda,
anything else i can do??
love u all,thz

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...
HI all
I am be in progessing update Rom from 4.00.11 to T-mobile 4.00.16 At 99% i dont know why it stoped and can not finish ???

if the OS not working, you cannot use XDAtools!
you should backup before upgrading.
Hi
Thank you , it work fine now
Ok, I was upgrading my ROM with a ROM.exe from Lumpistefan's ROM Kitchen. All was going well just like I have done many times before.
Nearing the end of the upgrade the software faulted. The XDA said "Completed". I waited for an additional 15 minutes before I touched anything. I did the battery reset and now nothing comes up!
I am able to get to the bootloader version 5.22 and it says GSM OK but that's it. I can also get to the copy options from the contact button although I fear I have something corrupt now so I don't think copying anything will do me any good.
I want to try to load from SD Card but I have no files and have never done this before. Can anyone help me out with all the files I need and instructions on how to do this? If I need to downgrade to bootloader 5.15 I'll need instructions on that as well. I would be willing to pay for help.
Thanks

I've formated the sd to FAT32 already.

Ofcourse, tried almost exerything, except hammering it.
But any way, sent the device to service center, let's see what they'll reply! I dont think it will be covered in the Warranty

I have proven all the possible ROM and nothing. Please, help.

Brother, there is no fix for this! no one on this forum knows **** about this problem. Everyone tries to help but there is no one who realizes the actual problem and knows a fix to this.
I finally sent my device to HTC Service Center and they replaced the motherboard. Luckily, my handset was in warranty! I should be receiving my Artemis in a couple of days.
I suggest, even you do check out your nearest SC.
That is the only fix, I know of!!!
