i was discussing that i can't upgrade the SD card way through my MMC Card :shock: i just reilized that this might be the problem why with 3 differant phones i couldn't use the Bootloader way, when i read more about both i found out that their is a slight differance in size messurments, which should not be a big issue but since XDA tools needs to write on a spesific cluster for the XDA to read it this could be the reason why it doesn't work,
Solution
1. if you have an MMC & you could/couldn't do an upgrade through bootloader method please put it here to justify the theory
2. if my speculations are right then xda developers are kindly requested to make the xda tools adjusted to MMC & i would be gratefull
upraise for importancy

after upgraded my xda crash n cannot boot up normally, coz interupted usb disconnect during upgrade, better i can enter the bootloader 5.17, the problem is..
"dont have the card reader", only have 2 sets complete of xda (1 damage n 1 still good) and 1 sd card, could u help me to make my xda back to normal??
is .nbf and .nb0/.nb1 have the same raw format??
if someone send me the ce backup (from bootloader) then i write it to sd card via working xda n then move the sd card to the damage one to replace the image, is it work???
if that metode work, could someone email me so i can give some space to upload the files .nb0 + .nb1
We do not currently have an XDA-program to write SD-cards in the RAW format you need for the bootloader, only a program for the desktop PC (XDArit).
You can make a backup of your OS on the working XDA if you have the bootloader though (provided it's not a 5.17 bootloader), and flash it on the other machine, no desktop PC needed. No time for a detailed tutorial now, but take a look at the bootloader page on this site for details.
can do nothing , must waiting someone solve my prob till i can order for the new card reader from here.
thx
last night i receive my sd card n flashing trough bootloader 5.17, n my xda back to normal, i think the xdarit manual must change in some section(picture that use nb1 file?) coz can make other people confuse to using it (ex:rename nbf to nb1 can make xda not working after flashing!!!)
special thx to xda dev for this excellent site
Dear XDA Developer #.....,
I did used the old version od XDArit to read and write the Boot+CE with not much of problem. The only thing to be careful is the Select SD card options because the physical Harddisk is one of the choices.
I noticed you had improvised the new version of XDArit to exclude the Harddisk choice but it seems imposible to used the write to SD option.
It always said cannot open physical drive #....
If i am using a 6 in 1 USB travel flash with Flash Memory on it, is this a problem for the XDArit to reconised which drive is the SD card ?
I did a bootloader backup on the SD card from the XDA, I am able to select the SD drive with no problem, it show HTC$WALLABY00 and be able to save to the harddisk ...nbo. I continue to write back the same file it show the cannot open physical drive #.... problem.
The other thing to confirm, how many block are written to SD Card if i choose to write only the Wallaby Patch Tools Image ? I did many time on the SD Card, sometime it said 2 Blocks and sometime 9 Blocks ??? It was able to write once but the XDArit did not write to the SD Card, instead it wrote to the Flash Memory parts of my travel flash ????
Do you think we are able to have the old version back on your homepage to download, give us a selection of version choice.
I would be much grateful if you be able to attached the old version to me for testing, my email : [email protected]
Many thanks for your reply
The old version is in:
http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/old
Please tell us if the old version does work for you...
Bummer Gus...
Works good for me.... Now I just have to figure out how to use it to repair my radio stack...!!!
Another step for mankind, but a huge leap for Todd (aka OldManTod)...
THANK YOU!!!!!
old version work for me to, now i can write SD cards
We'll rework the current version, but read the XDArit page for the warning on the old version:
DO NOT CLICK 'YES' IF IT WARNS YOU'RE ABOUT TO OVERWRITE YOUR HARDDISK, EVEN IF IT LISTS THE SD-CARD AS DISK.
XDARit NT 4 Problem
Hi All,
I wonder if someone can tell me how to fix the XDArit.exe Entry Point Not Found error when trying to run this program under Win NT4.0 SP6?
I'm new to xda-developers.com, but earlier today I tried to update the CE ROM using the official o2 image and despite my USB connection working for ActiveSync, the update program tells me it can't open a USB port and now the PDA is showing only the progress bar screen. From reading your excellent site I guess I need to create an SD boot card to fix the problem, but then ran into the above problem with xdarit !
Please can someone help?
Thanks
Dave :roll:
Hi,
I posted earlier http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6418, and I have played around some more with the XDA with no success. I have now bought a 64MB SD card and am unsure as to how the ROM image on my PC gets onto the SD card. This is how I have been doing it:
1) Insert SD card into XDA
2) Place XDA into cradle
3) XDA then ActiveSync’s to the PC
4) Run OSImageTool.exe and select the following –
a. Source: “C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\Desktop\orig.nb1”
b. Destination: “XDA SD card slot – unknown size”
5) Then I press “copy” and I see the progress bar go across to 100%. After this appears to finish, the program just sits there not telling me it’s finished. I assume that it’s all okay and I then close the program
6) Take XDA off cradle and hold power button down whilst doing a warm-reset
7) The following appears: “Wallaby Bootloader v6.22 – GSM OK” – nothing else happens, and from what I have read it is supposed to ask if I want to perform a ROM upgrade. However, I can get into the diagnostic and flash tools by pressing the action button etc, but nothing is in there to upgrade the ROM.
Does the fact the OSImageTool destination says “XDA SD card slot – unknown size” matter? I’m assuming not because when I have transferred the ROM using the above steps, the XDA asks if I want to format the card; meaning that the transfer worked okay. Do I have to have an SD card reader/writer on my PC to get the ROM onto the SD card?
I have read a little about a Bootloader patch – do I need to run this, and how do I get it onto the XDA – using the same method?
What I would really appreciate is to physically speak to someone in Australia who has done this before who can spend 10 minutes on the phone with me. I guess I just need a number to call, and you could PM me or MSN me ([email protected]) so I can contact you or give you my number (whatever you’re comfortable with). I would be very appreciative of any help that can fix this, as all I want to do is get my three-day old XDA working again!
Any other comments and help in relation to solving this hair-challenging issue would be great!
Thanks,
Paul…
Hi mate, it looks like you need to patch the bootloader, read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5923&highlight=patch+bootloader
This is the only guide that works for patching the bootloader (I tried them all before finding the right one) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3274
Yes, you do need an SD card reader/writer, if you search around you should be able to get a cheap one. If you read that guide you will be able to upgrade from SD card/bootloader.

hi! i downloaded the windows mobile for tmobile in yorch.net twice now, whenever i EXTRACT the file this always comes out "T-mobileROM40021\NK.nbf could not be extracted correctly!".
Need help.. do you have any suggestions on some alternative sites so i can download it again?
thanks
Thanks to a power failure (quite often occurence here) I am left with an XDA that did not complete a ROM update and it is stuck in limbo.
Ive created the nb1 on SD card as prescribed many times over on this forum using xdarit. my xda does just not seem to detect it. Maybe it needs to be in before i switch it on or ..?
My wallaby bootloader is 5.15.
Advice is appreciated. I'd just finished fixing a GSM Error problem which basically crippled the XDA performance wise (dust collector) and then this happened !
Damn :\
Incidently I run the diagnostics for the SD Card Test and it just sits there saying start test... again not too sure what to do there.
Thanks again
Michael

how you sd upgrade your xda
Thanks for your reply Rudegar
The post link u sent me was actually one of the many ''how-to's''i went through and still no luck.
I re-tried this one just in case im a cluster but no, didn't work.
When i turn the xda on and into the bootloader (soft reset and power buttons) i donot get the SD DOWNLOAD screen. it just waits for me to press whatever to get into GSM check, diagnostics or whatever.
Incidently my sd card is a sandisk 256. the card works fine with my qtek 7070 and nike mp3 player (for file storage).
I use xdarit 1 as everytime i try 1.2 i get errors.
Thanks again for your reply. Any otehr advice anyone?
Thanks
Michael
can your sdreader for your pc read the card ?
if it can then you dident flash the rom right to the sdcard
you have to use xdatools you cant just copy the nbf file to it
if it can be read by an sdreader and i think a 7070 then it's
not a card you can use to update your device
Wires Crossed :\
Sorry _ What I was trying to say (not very well) is that teh sd cards work fine when used as storage in my 7070 and mp3 player. never used an sd card in the xda before so i cant comment on that.
i use xdarit for the sd card creation and no the pc card reader cant see wots on the sd card when ive done that. ive never had any success with xdatools to be honest :/
Thanks again
Michael
sorry dident see you used xdarit
never tried it as it were replaced with OSImageTOOL in xdatools
which i never had any issues with
i made the scard this time with osimagetool and still no cigar
damn this is bad

256 MB SD card problem
MAB,
I had similar problem with my XDA and I have 64 MMC which worked to get the 5.17 bootloader patch loaded but would not work with the nbf1 file. I borrowed 64 MB SD Panasonic card and I could loaded but my problem was eventually solved by taking it to the Melbourne based ACCS tel 03 9348 5555 for only $45.
If you wish to persist on your on I think some people here reported problems with 256MB cards so you may need to organise one of the 64MB cards.
Good luck
Thanks for that. One thing I haven't tried yet is getting hold of another SD Card. I had read there were problems with the 256 ones on this forum so I will get onto that and give it a rip.
Failing that what's ACCS stand for then?
Thanks All
Michael

Thankyou
well i have just hit a problem returning my xda to its original rom version after trying out the new one....
I followed the instuctions word by word... putting the old rom on my sd card, booting it in wallaby, letting it finish and the disabling the battery and finally turning it back on with the battery enabled....
the downgrade completed without any issues.
now when i switch the xda on its going straight into the wallaby boot mode even if the memory card is taken out..
how the hell do fix this.
if I put the memory card into my pc it requests that it needs formatting so it can be used... if i do this and put the rom on the card nothing happens when I put in the xda to try and restore it..
please help as Ive only had my xda for 3 days...
I take it you have a MMC card reader? you need to format the MMC card so windows will not read it (which by the sounds you can do) and asks for it to be formatted, once you have done this you can now load a ROM on to the card with XDA Tools and write it via the bootloader to your XDA, this will (you hope) fix said problem you have.
followed this and now fully working again.
cheerz all.
