Can somebody please help me.
As I posted in this post, I scr3wed up my buddy's AT&T SX56.
I have got the thing past being dead, by putting a custom ROM on it.
However, I really need to get this thing back into AT&T mode, with either 2002 or 2003 on it. I will then upgrade to 2003.
Does anyone know where I can get a virgin AT&T ROM so that I can re-flash his system.
Thanks.

Okay, I'm making SOME progress.
Firstly thanks for the youch referral from kwlandry.
I had found the rom kitchens this afternoon while looking for solutions...
I'm busy flashing the ROM from SD for the umpteenth time.
It seems that whenever I flash the SX56 with an AT&T 30.09 ROM, then I get a hang on reboot.
I am currently trying the 4.00.05 ENG ppc2003 from yourch as it seemed to be non-specific (and a non-TMobile) one.
I seem to have the latest Radio stack (RA.33.02), and have been able to get a couple of ROM's to work.
Does anyone have ANY idea why the AT&T 30.09 ROM would fail in the same place every time? This is definately an AT&T unit, at is has the logo on the front. The phone was originally locked, but has been unlocked during the process.
I'm busy reading/searching the forum, but haven't seem to find this problem anywhere.
Thanks for ANY help.

I fixed many XDAs with your problem!
you could send the XDA to Siemens to repair/exchange.
Try flashing back to the original ROM via sd method then upgrading to wm2003.
You can get a copy of the 2002PPC ROM at siemens website. Cut & Paste the following link.
http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...%2FMC%2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdesc,00.html
Extract the file to a directory, then use the XDA OSimage tool to write to SD card then use bootloader to write to ROM.
After a successful flash follow the same to upgrade to wm2003
You can also try this kitchen http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
BTW - the phone has to be fully charged. That might be the cause of your hanging issue.
I have posted this in answer to your other post, try using a diferent memory card for upgrade to wm2003, I had this problem when using an mmc memory card to upgrade to WM2003, it hung every time even though it seemed to complete correctly, I changed to a different memory card and had instant success.
Yes! I agree also. But, though "mmc" and "sd" cards are similar, in this case the process calls for an sd card. The size doesn't seem to matter, I use a 512mb, however some people have had issues with device detection. So, a 64mb card is recommended. Make sure it is formated before use. And again a fully charged phone is unlikely to have problems so save your battery till all requirements are in place. Also DO NOT DO A HARD RESET! untill you have a successful install. You could lose you GSM ROM.
Thanks for all the replies.
I have successfully flashed back to the original rom; I downloaded it from yorc.
Having got the device back up and running, I tried the upgrade to 2003 again; using the Siemens software in the cradle solution. Didn't work.
The battery was definately fully charged (90% or higher) at all times.
I will look to try another SD card, and see if that makes a difference, it just seems strange that the card works to restore WM2002, and either card or USB approaches to upgrading to WM2003 fail.
The card I've been using is a very generic 128MB MMC card.
Again, thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
Hi,
I'm relatively new at this, so please I apolgize if I make dumb questions and /or statements. I have a Wallaby that just won't get pass the boot screen. My screen has a white bacakground and has the following message:
"Welcome to
T-Mobile
G324e4
R6.25.02
4.01.16"
I have already tried flashing a cooked rom by using XDATools; however, I can't get the rom into the SD card. The OSImageTool.exe doesn't show my SD cards at all, so I can't dump the rom to the SD card.
I've also tried docking the unit, but it just won't sync with my pc.
It may be irrelevant, but I have the BootLoader 5.15 on my Wallaby.
I have read several posts regarding similar issues, but nothing I've seen has worked yet. I need some help sometime soon. Thanks
Have you tried using a card reader/writer on your pc for transferring rom image?
Yup.
Actually, my laptop has an integrated SD card reader on it (I am beginning to think this may be the real issue - compatibility, etc). Keep the suggestions coming though.
Thanks for the help, but... and still in trouble :?
Have aou tried another hard reset of the device? Maybe it helps to start the ROM....
Integrated SD-Card Reader / writer do make often problems with the XDA-Tools. Best (and i think only solution) would be buying an external Card-Reader/Writer (should be available for about 10 Euro...) or borrow one.
Then you're able ro reflash your device using a SD-Card.
2nd Chance you have is making an SD-Card dump of the OS of any other XDA. And then reflash your device with this Backup.....
I don't think there is any other possibility....
Stefan
LumpiStefan,
I did try hard resetting the device several times, but nothing happened. I will try to get another card reader and go about it that way.
By the way, I did think about getting the rom from someone else, but I don't know anyone in this city with an XDA.
All in all, thanks for confirming my theory of compatibility issues. I will give that a shot...
I'll write again to tell the story of the final outcome... "Will it live to see another day, receive another call? Or will it just become another victim lost in the valley of the Death?" :lol:
Stay tunned...
egsthunder1 and LumpiStefan,
I have this exact same problem. This phone sat on my desk for several months, I powered it up and charged it everyonce in a while. Now I wanted to give it to my daughter and it just sits trying to boot up. I let it charge for several day, soft and hard resets. I used the boot loader from a second device to dump its Tmobile official ROM to SD. I then Flashed the frozen device with the SD card. It was uploading for a while, said the flash was successful. I then did a hard reset and the same "welcome to Tmobile screen with G324e4, R6.25.02, 4.01.16. Both devices had a 6.22 bootloader.
Any help would be great. There was nothing done to this device other than sittng on a desk, draining to zero, charging and then a lockup.
Thanks for any and all help.
Paul.
Hey guys, I've been having this problems for years and I've been waiting for someone to find a solution but I guess no one has the answer. egsthunder1, what rom are you currently using? I'm guessing 2003? I suggest you re-flash your rom back to 2002, I think ROM Kitchen carries the 2002 one for the T-Mobile or whatever service you're using. Just cook the rom, download it, upload it into your SD card, and use the bootloader to download the rom from the SD. It works for me if you're willing to use your PPC again w/o 2003.
Back from the grave!!!
Well,
After seeing the light , my phone turned away from it and decided that it wanted to stay in the world of the living once more.
I was right in my assertions (and Lumpi verified that), the integrated card reader on my laptop was the reason why I couldn't flash the rom into an SD card. So I borrowed one from a friend, and presto!!!
My Wallaby now runs on 2002 since I cannot get 2003 SE (from the kitchen) to get past the boot screen, just like XDAPDA88 said it would. It was twice the work, but in the end it paid off.
I guess it is for the better since 2002 was far more stable than 2003 SE ever was (at least in my experience with the Wallaby). However, I now have a BA, and I couldn't be happier (at least until I get my hands on the Universal, then I will truly be happy
Thanks to all of you for your input.
Hey guys, I flashed the new imate rom and it worked great.. but it wouldnt let me edit the registry. So i downgraded to the latest QTEK rom.. but it errored out 1/2 thru and now my device wont load. I can get into the bootloader just fine, and it reads my sd card.. but my myrom.bin image fails the OS checksum. I really really need another myrom.bin from any working HTC wizard (preferrably TMobile USA) but anything works! Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I seem to have made my MDA compact II a brick. I was having problems hard reseting it (Format FAT failed) so I tried upgrading to a different firmware.
I now have the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
firmware on it. This is not good as it is for the Prophet, although it says in the Wiki that this should work. Anyway I can now hard reset the phone, so all I need to do is flash the TmobileUK firmware back on it. The only problem is that it doesn;t let me do it. It says error:296 upgrade only.
Anyone any ideas?
cheers.
extract the contents of the t mobile package using win rar
download
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Prophet/Tools/ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.zip
and put in the same directory and run.
It gets to 1% then says invalid command, not for this phone.
Latest T-Mobile ROM is at http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
very stable, much better than the original shipped ROM
Finally got it back.
If you have a T-mobile MDA II (Charmer), then Flash it with a Prophet ROM, the only way I could get it back was to use the following:
RUU_Charmer_100_100_049_CHS_Ship.rar
typho5 -x nk.nbf
Then created a new nk.nbf with the output using nb2nbf.
I then Flashed this with Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noID
And miracle it started. I quickly CID unlocked it and am now flashing with latest T-mobile.
My problem was that the Rom Update programs wouldn;t read version 2.xx ROMS.
Anyway it has just finished and looks fine. Thanks for everyones help, now I just have to get my SD wifi card working.
How do you do it
Hi I just got a MDA compact II from T Mobile UK I would like to upgade the ROM but its all very new to me since you know what you are doing can you post an idiots guide to the process.
Hope you can help
Hi, it depends what Rom you want to upgrade it to, the latest one from T-mobile is pretty good. There is an unbranded one (no T-mobile logos or suchlike) or there are Roms in different languages. It depends why you want to change the firmware and what to.
I suppose I don't really know the problem is as I just got the thing did some searching and came across this site read your post and thought i want to do this maybe you have some suggestion. Also I tried the RUU mentioned in an earlier post but it I can't update when I get to the from/to screen it tells me I will go from 2.6.2.110 to 2.6.2.110 I was expecting to move up.

Sounds like you are running the latest version. Is there a problem with the phone? If the phone works fine, I would just unlock it using lokiwiz02b (So you can use any network card) and then EnableRapi (So you can run unsigned code) then CID unlock it using awizard (so you can use any Brand/Language of ROM).
If you have no problem with the firmware I would leave it alone.
Hi,
Yep, I'm in the same situation, why does the prophet firmware load onto the charmer without erroring? !!!
Anyway, I have a copy of RUU.rar but I'm having problems working out what I need to do to it between unpacking and flashing the phone (i.e. the typho5 bit and then the nb2nbf).
Can someone please help me out?
P.S. The phone just sits at a black screen that says 'Dopod' across the front at the moment
Can anyone tell me how to 'force' a downgrade of firmware? I've got what appears to be the right firmware from FTP but it won't over write the incorrect version 2 installation as the uploader software thinks it's later therefore better.
There has got to be a better option from the command line surely?
HELP phone is dead

Progress, but now it works only from the charger so the shipped ROM upgrade won't work as it reports the battery as being at less than 50%.
Anyone know how to force a ROM upgrade or where I can find the right ROM files to use awizard to do this?

as i said on the other post
well you have to get the original ROM for your device.. see their website.. it should be there for free. or try to get it from anyplace.. (the original rom)
and then flash it using SD Card flashing
info for flashing it by that are here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._Card_Flashing
hope it will work
i think you can get it from here
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/sd_compact3.html
if WM6 did not work.. try WM5
thanks i m downloading it...but tell me one thing if there is a software issue then why isnt ther any display i mean no backlight no display no charging led
having same problem with both WM5 and WM6 upgrades!!
"error occur : invalid update tool
this update cannot be used for your pda phone, please get newer update utility"
i think that becuase the bootloader , ISP or one of these stuff are corrupted.. don't know.
and as i told once i got my artemis completely dead
and finally i got it fixed by putting the ARTEIMG.nbh in SD card as they said in the wiki and then by pressing the camera button and the power.
and it started flashing it as the SD card flashing but it took about 30 mins .. and there was three phases in the flashing progress which it was the first time i see.
having same problem with both WM5 and WM6 upgrades!!
"error occur : invalid update tool
this update cannot be used for your pda phone, please get newer update utility"

did you flashed it by SD card or RUU?
if you used RUU try by SD card flashing
did u get the same prob? i mean the phone seems to be dead? if so...there is a hope then
well...i used RUU simply downloaded it and tried to install by setup,,, dont know about card flashing but will try
where can i find that NBH file?
do u have that .NBH file?
you have to extract the file you using a program like winrar
there will be few files.. one of them is the nbh
that's how i got the nbh file.
and about the SD card flashing is here...
