hi, I have tried flashing my rom via a sdcard so I can update my bootloader and rom image. but xdrit does not write anything to my card?
i tried the new version and when i try to read my card it says somthing like can not find flash rom???
if i try to write to the card, a box comes up with a progress bar then xdrit crashes.
if i try the old version its the same, but when i go to flash to my card it says complete with in 2 secs, but nowt is wrote to the card???
HELP ME PLEASE
thanks

anyone, please?

can anyone not help me?
I have just finished re installing my windows xp pc, and xdrit still does not work
The old version says falsh the sdcard(takes 2 secs says xxXX bytes done, ok but there is no rom/bootloader etc on the card)
the new one crash everytime i run it, at the point were it starts to write the files

xdarit only works on machines with very few drives. when there are too many devices, it gets confused.
expect a new and improved version soon.

And now soon do you expect the newer one to come out please :?: :lol:

XDA Rom Flash crash, need help to solve, have 1 working XDA!

Hello,
can someone please help me?
Needed to unlock my XDA goes nobody could do it here ;-(
Crashed in the upgrading screen:
it wil take about 5 minutes ....
Has Wallaby Bootloader V5.15
I have already a ROM file NK.nb1 file from the ROMkitchen,
but i don't know how to get it working on my messed up XDA.
Have read a lot in this forum but really don't know much about programming ;-(
is it possible to make a copy from my working XDA (with XDAtools) and then replace the NK.nb1 file or something? and how can i get it into it?
read a lot about Bootloader but sorry don't know how to handle ;-(
If someone could help me -> THANKZ
Greetingz from Holland,
Marco

ok...
if you dont have an SD-CARD reader, get one!
then, from ROM UPDATE FORUM, find and download XDA TOOLS.
RUN xda tools.
it will ask you for source, (most likely C:\program files\RUU\ENGLISH)
and will ask for destination, since xda dont work, use SD READER
Start Copying to card
when done, insert card into xda
reboot via bootloader ( thats when you powerup with on/off button pressed and soft reset)
IT should detect that there is a system on the card, and ask if u want to install it.
press the ACTION button for yes. (thats the big silver button between the fone buttons)
thats realy IT
if you need more help... email me, or better yet add me to MSN messenger, if u have one. i'll walk you thru it.
thanks to a great warranty, i've practiced and tested alot of xda's
but now that i mastered it ( i think) i stuck to one

Thankzzzzzzz
It worked
Was a little late so i didn´t do it wright myself
Copied the file to SD
instead of doing it with XDA tools to SD
Works now fine.
Had some trouble with GSM and T/mobile card, but copied with XDA tools from working XDA to SD and now it works.
Keep this file on an SD card so now i can try to load ROM´s or upgrade to 2003 cause i can always put it back, so no risk!
Thankz Again,
Greetz Marco

I created one nb1 file using Jeff's kitchen, use XDATools write it to a SD Card, slot it into my XDA, press on/off button + soft reset key, bootloader screen (wallaby bootloader v5.17) appear, and say 'GSM OK', if press Action Key now will bring me to "Diagnostics" menu, if press Calendar key bring me to "Utilities" menu, if press Contact key bring me to "Flash Tools" menu, and if press Record Key bring will me to "USB Flash Mode", it didn't auto detect the SD card to allow me to flash my device, may I know where have I done wrong, anybody help? Thanks!

Sounds like the ROM imaged didn't make it to the SD card.
Do this test and report back on your results.
With the SD card still in the slot do a soft reset, if the image is on the card
your XDA should ask if you want to format the card.
HTH

It did ask me whether want to format the SD card.

Ok give it another shot but this time try using XDArit 1.0 to right to SD.
For more info. on XDArit visit: http://www.xda-developers.com/XDArit/
XDArit version 1.0 can be download from the software section at:
http://www.yorch.net
Just in case here is my 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".
HTH
&
Good Luck

Hi Guys,
I need your help .
I've downloaded the 4.00.16 ROM by mistake, it really didn't tell the ROM number, so now I want to revert to a earlier one and I can't.
I've got the following message: "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
error getting devicedata" and then "ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR. Cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected."
PLEASE HELP ME, I'M REALLY STUCK NOW AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...

use SD to restore your system if you have backup!
if you still have problem to get your phone life back, send to me I will fix it for you!

I forgot to tell you, I haven't got SD :evil:

similar situation but somewhat different.
I cooked a rom in kalex kitchen and wrote it to my sd card with my t-mobile pocket pc phone connected to activesync. I then flashed the phone from the sd card but got a checksum error at the end. I did a hard reset but only got a blank screen. Right now I can access the bootloader but that's it. I don't have a good backup rom because (not thinking) I wrote over it with the rom from kalex kitchen figuring it would become my backup (it must have somehow been corrupt). I tried writing the rom I previously had on my phone to an sd card directly through a card reader on windows 98, windows XP and windows ME all with no success. Thus, I'm dead in the water. I have no clue why I can't flash to the card reader. I went through a ton of posts here but have not found the answer yet to get me back working. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I have no clue why xdatools and xdarit are not working (especially on XP - I know they should not work directly to an sd card on windows 98 but I tried anyhow out of desperation). Please help.

got it working
used xdarit on another pc running windows xp and successfully wrote the rom to the sd card using my card reader. i then flashed my phone using the bootloader method and i'm up and working again!

HELP!!!

I have tried everything under the sun to upgrade my T-Mob PPPC/PE with Yorch's T-Mobile unofficial Upgrade to WM2003. I can't get it to work. Tried: loading ROM to SD card and soft reset, using XDATools OSImagetool, etc... :x

I believe it is tough for any one to advice if you don't state what exactly you did and what error messages you got .....

Are you trying bootloader method. or other method. Please present more detail regarding your problem including current rom/radio etc and things that you have tried already.

Sorry. First, loaded the file, NK.NBF onto my SD card using OSImagetool.exe. Then per instructions that were given to me, did a soft boot on the device. It simply rebooted and after it came up, there was a message on the screen asking my if I wanted to format the SD card for use with the device and telling me that if I hit "yes", the card would be erased and all data lost on the card.
The next thing I tried was to use OSImagetool.exe directly. Source- nk.nbf (on my desktop) and Destination: Device memory (via Programme A). The error I got was "Programme A not found - run with "--register" error opening target device.
I even tried to run OSImagetool.exe from the command prompt using --register as an argument and got the same exact error.
Then, I loaded the NK.NBF file to the SD card then ran OSImagetool with source: SD card, destination: Device memory. Then got the same error: "Programme A not found - run with "--register" error opening target device."
Hope that helps.

i dont know the program OSImagetool
but when i updated my xda to 2003 i used xdatools to transfer the rom to the sdcard and then i DIDENT! softreset but went into the bootloader and it started to update

They are the same program OSImagetool is just the name of the .exe file.
@jhug whats your bootloader version? Sounds like it might be 5.17 or newer!
HTH

When the xda asked you if you wanted to format the sd card you should answer no, it means the rom has in fact been written to the card, you then need to enter bootloader mode, a soft reset is no good, just push the stylus in the reset hole while holding down the power button, it will then ask you to push the action button which is the centre of the 4 way pad, your rom will then be programmed, make sure the battery is charged also. When the process is complete, unscrew your stylus, then insert the top half of the stylus in the hole on the bottom right of your xda, just push once, after one minute push again, this turns the battery off, then on again, you should then have a working system.

my bootloader is 5.22 btw

I wanted to check and see if the ROM was in fact on the SD card, so I did a soft reset and the notification came up and asked me if I wanted to format the SD card. I clicked no and assumed the nk.nbf file was on the card. I then did a soft reset while pressing the power button and went into bootloader mode. It did not ask me to push the action button, so I did anyways and it went into diagnostics mode. Ideas???
I'll try reloading the ROM on the SD card and try it again. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks for your help! BTW, bootloader version is 5.15.

Consider yourself luck if you haven't had any problems upgrading
using the SD card boot loader method then!
Also most of the RS upgrade failures that I seen / fixed and tried to fix had boot loader 5.17 or higher, so keep that in mind. :wink: Lucky, Lucky you!

Please do!
Also whats the size and make of your SD card?

Well, I tried it again and the same thing happened. It went into bootloader mode and did not ask me if I wanted to install the new OS. I tried pressing the volume button and it said to connect the USB cable. I also pressed the contacts button and it went into Diagnostic mode. Aaaaaarrrrrgh!
BTW, it's a 256MB Sandisk card. (Great for holding about 200 songs! :lol: )

Some how I knew you where going to say a "256MB Sandisk"!
For some unknown reason had the same problem using the same card,
if you can try using a 64MB or a 128MB card and see what happens. :wink:
HTH

It finally worked! I loaded the ROM to the 256mb Sandisk SD card while in the unit, removed the SD card, inserted the SD card, then did a warm boot while pressing the power button and the ROM image loaded! I did the usual battery cutoff and then rebooted it and it works fine. Thanks everyone who gave me advice with this. :lol: :lol:

Where there is a well there is a way, great job!
But how in the hell did you figure that one though? :wink:

I decided to get creative. Dangerous when you're working in Wallaby, but it worked! :shock:

Help me fix my paper weight

Hi,
My Imate JAMin is dead after trying to flash the ROM with the QTEK S200 ROM using awizard. Anyways my phone will not connect to PC when I try to downgrade to the original ROM file (the JAM_WWE...exe). The problem is my PC wont connect to my phone, I get error 240 or something similar (cannot connect to phone message). So what I am asking is if anyone can backup their Imate JAMin ROM to a SD card and upload the image for me. I figure somebody here has got to have an extra SD card lying around somewhere. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you tell me how to make a SD image I will make one for you.

thanks for offering help. I am out right now, when i get home i will do a search and find out how to do it. In the meantime if anyone has any links for backup rom image to sd for wm5 and how to save this image to a file and then to write the image file to sd card again. thanks again.

1. Put the phone in bootloader mode (make sure battery is over 50% charged).
To do this, press the Camera button down, hold it there, and press soft reset. Let off the soft reset button BUT continue to hold the camera button down until you see 4 color bands on the screen. Let go of the camera button when they appear.
2. Connect USB cable to PC.
3. Re-run imate JAMin full flash .EXE file. Should work fine and get you back to normal.

Thanks for your help. I tried that before 5 times and the phone would get stuck on the boot splash screen. Now I cannot even get the phone into bootloader mode anymore unless it is plugged directly into the outlet. I do not know why it is doing this. I have charged the battery all the way. I also have a magician so I have tried 2 different batteries charged all the way. Since I can only get the bootloader mode while it is plugged directly to the wall, I cannot connect it to the pc. I have no idea why it is doing this. I just want to try restoring from an SD card rom backup before I send it in to imate.

I have made a sd image from my ROM and uploading it now. It's about 54 MB. I also tested to flash my Imate with this card and it works good. When you enter bootmode with the sdcard inserted it asks if it should restore from card. At this point press the comm manager button (the button under the volume control).
It's a image on a 128 MB SD card. You just have to write the image to your card with ntrw.
Good luck and let us know the results!

Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate it. I just hope it works. If it does not work for me at least others can get this sd image to fix their prophets in the future if they cannot get it to connect to their PCs. I will let you know my results.

Do you know if the device has to be unlocked already or can you use this to get around the CID lock?

The SD card flash did not work for me. I was hoping the RGB color screen was the bootloader but it was not. I guess there is something wrong with my JAMin so I am sending it in to imate in the middle east. I would like to thank Swartb for taking the time to get the ROM image on SD card.
To answer the CID lock question, I think it does not bypass it so if you want to use the SD card to restore it has to be the same phone model so in this case the JAMin.

Hi!!!! could you tell me where is that SD copy of your ROM????
Thnaks!!!!!!

Extending RAM

Hi , i have been using HTC P3300 for a while. Actually i am satisfied overall. But when i started to use Opera usually i am facing with "out of memory" message. Also when i use IGO8 memory is reaching its limits.
Therefore i would like to learn if there is some way to extend the RAM of my device ?

If you search the site you are ganna see
YuE Extraclean ROM 4.4, download it, change it pagepool to 4, install it through SD card after backing up all contacts and msgs, then you will enjoy enough RAMs.

thanks a lot, i already downloaded the file but i dont know how to install it. would you please explain step by step.
thanks in advance

hi,
i am trying to flash my device using SD card but when i follow the instructions in Wiki i cannot do it. I am pressing the record button down and pressing the RESET button as explained. And suddenly i can see a white screen with "searching for sd card" message then it switches to the 4 coloured screen which indicates the version information and it freezes as it is. I had doubt about my sd card but when i turn on the device i can see there is no problem with it.
Would you please suggest how can i flash my device with SD card ?
Or would you please tell the best way to learn how to upgrade my device with a ROM.
thanks in advance.

Also, have you formatted your SD Card to FAT32?
