hi, anyone have the file BPInsert.exe in their windows folder and BPInsert.lnk in their start up folder that they can send me ?
I believe this is required for using CF cards with the back pack but for some reason mine is missing, or even not there from the start ?
Any other advice on why CF card isn't recognised in back pack, VGA stuff works OK CF card power light flashes on for 1 second when I insert the card but will not stay on ?
Hoping above files will fix problem, if anyone knows different plz advise.
Cheers, Shire (Blair)

My MDA was unable to get back to bootload after a unsuccessful ROM upgrading. Is it possible to replace the ROM (hardware) so that I can save my MDA?
I tried the Power on key and softreset to reset it but only return to a messive screen.
Pls help. Thanks
cris...
you dont need to replace the hardware rom!!
try runing the upgrade program again, it sometimes picks up where it left off. if that dont work, try the SD card method.
i'd go into more details, but all that info is here in these forums already.
if u still need help though, contact me, and i'll try to help you.
good luck
Dear Ntabikha,
Thanks v much!
However, I tried the upgrade program many times and the decktop just said the computer cannot recognise the device.
So, I think method 1 is not possible.
For method two, I will try to put the nk.nbf file into my SD card and put it in the device and see whether the MDA can pick up the ROM. Will let you know whether it is successful.
BTW, when the screen is on, it only appears some fuzzy horizontal lines and two small empty boxes, have you seen this before?
Chris
yes, i had the same fuzzy lines. i fixed That problem via the SD card method.
just remember that, you have to write the nbf file to SD card, not just copy it to SD card
dont laugh, i did that mistake at first
good luck
How can I "write" it to the card?
I thought I only copy the file to the card through a SD reader.
Well, I know now, use rom kitchen to cook the rom and use osimagetool to copy the nb1 file into a sd card.
All i need to do next is to insert into the MDA and press power button together with softreset key for several times until successful....
Dear ntabikha,
I am still unable to obtain the bootloading screen of my MDA after inserting the SD with nb1 file written by xdatool. I tried many times power button and soft reset simultaneously (more than 20times) and the screen are still full of messy lines and 2 big empty boxes.
Can you help please? What is the fix broken bootloader in the xdatool?
I really did search around the forum but still can't be able to get back the bootloader screen. Pls help.
Chris

I'm wondering if you could not see bootloading screen , how could you use SD card to restore OS and bootloader ?
No, there is no bootloading screen at all.
I took the MDA out to a repair shop and they said that is a hardware failure. And they don't have the stock to replace it.
But I don't believe that cause I was just downloading the OS. It shouldn't hurt the hardware that much.....

I fixed couple such phones "horizontal lines and two small empty boxes" due to failure upgrading (all flash ROM messed up).
You have to use hardware flash ROM writer to wire the flash ROM pin to write bootloader and CE directly to chip.
I can help you to fix the problem (I'm in Canada, my email is [email protected])
Hi, I have similar trouble. My boss upgrade his MDA TMO (Austria) to official TMO version of OS and now it coming only to splash screen. MDA doesn't sync through cradle, doesn't seems to be charged, and I cannot enter BOOT mode for flashing ROM from SD card.
Is there any chance to fix it by myself?
Thanx, Ivan
TO CGIGATE: If you have any solution, can you post it here? Or it is so dangerous for nonexpert people? :wink:

If you don't have a working OS and a working bootloader, the only solution is hardware solution. You have to wire the flash chip directly to the flash ROM writer ...
yes, it is dangerous for nonexpert people
Thank you CGIGATE for quick answer. Anyway I wrote you an email, could you be so kind and send me informations how I can do that, or where I can find these steps?[/quote]
I tried to upgrade my XDA from version 3.something to 4..05 burned at http--kitchen.romanweb.com-kitchen-index.php
I followed the steps on the install shield until i got the message on my display:
_____________________
Upgrading...
It will take about 5 minutes.
Warning: Do not remove USB/Serial connection or power adapter from the Pocket PC.
After that the connection was terminated by itself and the message above remained on the display. I tried soft reseting and the other reset too, but i still get the same message and i cannot do anything from now on.
Can somebody please HELP me to fix it.
Special Thanks in advance!
method ?
can you tell us which upgrade method you used ?
usb or bootloader ?
if you used usb try using the bootloader method ... you'll porbably succeed !
good luck :wink:
Decebal
i used the usb method.
can you explain me please what is the bootleader method and how to do it. i have done the hard reset a several times and the screen gets worse and worse and now it is only shoeing black lines
step by step:
1. first you need a SD reader/writer
2. using OSImageTool.exe write the nbf to your SD
3. reboot pressing the power button
4. it will automatically rewrite your flash
After this ... hopefully ... you're done !
is this SD reader/writer a memory card and if it is, how am i going to copy this file on it if the xda is not responding.
Or should i buy another device with which i should copy it.
thanks in advance!
you need a SD card for your XDA and a writer for it (you can borrow from someone with an appropiate digital photo camera)
then with the programs and ROMs available here you create something like a rom floppy and start your XDA keeping the power button down
then it will automatically reflash your ROM
It all worked great!
Thank you very much for the help!!!
I have the same issue here with My TMO xda and i tried the suggested steps but I am not able to get this working. I am not getting any power or response from my unit so its not getting to any stage where I can load a bootimage from the SD card. PLease help. Any suggestions would be helpful.
thanks a lot to everyone how helped me!!
it really worked that way with the SD card.
To anyone having this problem, search the forum for the correct steps you should do to boot from the SD card and you will be fine!
hey you all geniuses out there a few questions :
how to store incoming(bluetooth/ir) files on storage card directly ?
anybody tried a different /better bluetooth stack on universal and know where i can download one ? something with which i can browse using a pc without activesync ?
anymore wirelss(bluetooth/ir/wifi) hacks ?
thanx
I would also like to know how you can set your universal to save all incoming bluetooth/IR files directly to your storage card?????
The reason is because when my freind wants to bluetooth an album of MP3's to me in the pub i have to stop him after each song has downloaded so i can cut and paste them to my storage card otherwise they just dissappear if i run out of room on the phone.
Im sure Alot of people are finding this a problem and im supriase no one has raised this issue before.
Thank you for your help in advance
It seems that this little apps should solve your problem. But I haven't tried it yet.

Great find. It would be nice to know if it does work for the Universal.
hey thanx ! i tried it, it does work on the universal and stores files on the storage card even. I have tried with smaller files but will try with bigger files and check whether it is actually downloading files to storage card or just moving them there once the download is complete.

Are you using Version 1.4 without the log notes that he posted last? Would this also create an icon on the bottom bar?

Hi Guys. I would really like this programme but none of the installs will work for me The only one I can install was v 1.0 but when I try open the programme I get the message bind error the parameter is incorrect
Any ideas?
Hello guys!
I've just recieved a "new"(errh) qtek2020/Himalaya wm2003-device from my workplace today, so i went of to install TomTom navigator on it.
SO, I insert the sd-card that contains my tomtom navigator program, the device turns itself on, but nothing happends. The tomtom-setup won't autorun as it use to do, and the card won't show up as \Storage_card in file explorer as it is supposed to do.
Then, I try again with another sd-card, same thing happends. The device turns itself on, but still no \Storage_Card folder in the file explorer.
One possibility is of course that the sd-card slot is simply broken, but it wouldn't surprise me if they've just found a way to disable the slot.
Is there any ways they could have done this? And, more important, possible to revert this?
I remember some weeks ago reading on another web-page that there is a file in the \windows-directory at the device that is absolutely needed for WM to be able to read sd-cards, but I cannot remember what this file was, nor can I locate the page where I read this in the first place. Anyone know what file they could be talking about?
Thanks in advance!
Guys,
Pls explain how to flash ROM files into my X2, i have downloaded the X2_1230-2799_GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CDF1231-4909_R22A_2 and the GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS files but dont know how to use them with SEUS.
Pls be kind enough to expalin how it works,,
Rgds,
NK
Pls leave a reply.
guys please give me a solution
I want to know too!
you can't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its only for included progs
What nirmanakak wants to know is how to customise the X2.
This is done by:
1. Back up your current data and put the .cab files on a micro sd card. Remove sim card just to be safe.
2. Clear Phone (Start>Settings>System>Clear Phone)
3. AFTER you calibrate screen (orange screen, then white) and when you see the green progress bar remove the battery or press the reset button in the back of the phone(remove cover to find). This must be done right after screen calibration or else you have failed to stop the default cabs.
3a. if you were not able to stop the default installation, you must install ClearStorage.cab and use it to start from step 2 above.
4. Install the .cab files one by one.
Here is a web page showing the purpose of each .cab file:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7098131&postcount=14
If you are not sure what to install, choose the green ones. At the moment it is trial and error and it is all manual. Maybe one day it will be all automatic using one installer This is why I request developers to pitch in to make it easier for everyone.
