--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look what you should do:
write the Wallaby-patched-tool.nb2 using the old xdarit (put it in the Diagnostics field on the program, and be sure to check the checkbox beside it and uncheck the other two checkboxes above it) and be sure to select Pre-5.17 before writing to your SD card
insert your card into your xda and boot into the wallaby boot loader and once you have the OK, press the "Action" key. at this point you should reach the patched menu of wallaby boot loader.
Remove your sd-card, re-write to it the PPC2003PE.nb1 file but this time make sure to select At least 5.17 bootloader, the re-insert it into your xda and select Restore
It should work fine
Hope this helps
Regards

Hi all. My device is running on WBL 5.17.
I've written nk.nbf to my sd card (via a card reader) using OSImageTool. Popped it in my xda sd slot and did a power button + soft reset to enter the bootloader. All I get is the wallaby bootloader screen with a GSM Ok message on the lower left corner. No message of any updating/upgrading appears.
Moreover, whenever I use the flash tools in the wallaby (ce rom to sd, boot to sd, ce+boot to sd, gsm rom to sd) I get the following screen:
SD Backup
===========
CARD Key
I n v a l i d
PRESS ACTION
TO EXIT
Another thing, my xda doesn't boot properly. I always get the screen with garbled black and white lines and two white boxes on the upper part (I think this is the indicator or the progress bar of the interrupted rsu exe upgrade I did which cause my xda inoperable). Pressing the power switch doesn't do anything.
So I have no other way to turn off my device except pressing the hard reset hole. But when I do this, doing the power swith + soft reset combination won't work because I need to press the hard reset hole again to turn on my device and I'll be back again on the garbled screen with no way of turning off my device normally.
I read somewhere in this forum that you the xda must be off before entering the wallaby (doing the power switch + soft reset combination). I did the power + hard reset combination but it still gives me the wallaby screen and the flash tools error mentioned above.
What do you think should I do now to have my xda flashed using the sd card method successfully? I can't use the cradle because my xda won't boot even run the os, it just shows the garbled screen with the two boxes mentioned above.

I got the patch (nb2) file onto my sd card succesfully as you describe, but when i run the bootloader, I dont see the new 'patched' menu. Just a diagnostics menu. if i press the "contacts" but when the bootloader starts i see the standard 5.17 image copy menu which doesnt let me go from SD card to Rom

Hello,
How can get the file Wallaby-patched-tool.nb2 ?

The patch is here:
http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/wallaby-patch-tool.nb2
I and many others never got it to work. My wallaby never did what others describe this patch is supposed to make it do. I tried the 1k and 3.5k options too.
I ended up changing my bootloader to 5.15 using bootloaderfix.bat in the binaries folder of XDAtools. Worked fine, just make sure you have the wallaby connected via activesync before you run bootloaderfix.bat

upgrade sx56 to tmobile wm2003

I've got an sx56, with the xda-dev. rom, and i want to upgrade to the tmobile rom....but i get that screen about the versions.
does anyone know what i can do to get tmobile rom on my sx56?
i've got the cd from t-mobile, so i just need some help.
thanks
carl

here is the easy way and safe!
If you need to install it to Mobile 2003, you need a memory card about 64MB. Here is the most easiest to do and very safety
Borrow PPC PHONE from other and put the SD card into it.(any carriers don't worried your phone remains unlocked)
now. hold the power button at the same time use stylus to reset the big hole on the left(not he small hole for battery) then remove the stylus out of the reset hole
Now the screen will boot up in bootloader ( you can see WALLABY Boot Loader)
now press the contact button (on the left siee below the power button)
you will see FLASH TOOLS
SELECT CD+BOOT TO SD
THEN HIT ENTER ( THE BIGEST BUTTON WIHICH YOU CAN SELLECT UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT)
NOW WAIT FOR IT Download to SD card and will notice as it done
Remove it from the pocket pc phone, then put it on your pockt pcphone to upgrade the boot loader and the window mobile
Now, hold down power button and press on reset hole(like you did on the previous ppc phone) and remove the stylus
Now you can see this on the screee"
SD Download
CARD TYPE:
CE OS
Press ACTION
To Download
or
Press REC
to EXIT
You will choose Press ACTION to upgrade you Pocket PC Phone.(the bigest button left right up down) Press it down.
Now wait for it complete upgrade about 5 minutes.
After that you reset the battery hold and wait 1 minute and press the battery hole to boot up pocket pc phone.(right small hold on the right)
Now you have the carrier that you install (wheither AT&T, T_Mobile.....) so, go ahead to offical site to get free upgrade 2003.
good luck!

Help Unlocking Wallaby

HEEELP!!!
Can someone help me out with this please? I can't seem to get the Wallaby to boot to the bootloader screen. The Power and Soft reset key combination has stopped working.
Just bought a T-Mobile Wallaby with PPE2002, trying to upgrade. Nothing is working!! Using XP Machine, and I don't have Cradle or USB Cable. I'm trying to upgrade using the SD Card (256MB). I've tried using the boot loader, but I can't access it using the Power button and Soft Reset key for some reason. When I press it, it just goes right to the operating system, not the bootloader. I've tried putting the rom exe and upgrading that way, but it's not working. I've followed the instructions verbatim, still nothing..HEEEEELP!!![/b]

M600 Frozen on Splash Screen (HELP)

I can not get my M600 Prophet to load the OS, it just freezes on the Splash screen (Jester's Edition AKU 2.2).
Anyone got any idea's on how to get this to boot up.
Now loaded with the following:
IPL 2.20.0001
SPL 2.20.0001
GSM 02.47.21
OS 2.20.7.34

I got the same problem few time ago you have to put your m600 in bootloader mode that way :
"Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camara + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and keep pressing camara button till appear the Boot Loader.)"
Then you have to flash your device with a working rom
good luck

If that doesn't work, make sure you don't have your memory card inserted. Take it out and then try the hard reset.

Do a hard reset (hold context buttons and hit the reset button with stylus). Or you can go to bootloader (bold power + side OK and hit reset button with stylus) and now you will be able to flash via RUUWrapper.

Where you have the colour bands, you can flash from PC without connecting to activesync. At least that works for me.
And try also context buttons on the HW keyboard.

You have to hold BOT soft keys and reset with stylus. Holding down the ok button and resetting does nothing but a soft reset. You want to hard reset.
You will still get CRC's rom loading up as that is the loaded OS.
If you wish to upgrade then, if you have Hard SPL (SPL: 2.10 oli), then you can use the sd card method fromn the bootloader (tri-colour) screen.
SD Card method
1. Format SD card fat32 (2Gb or less ONLY) then copy the .nbh file to it. Rename .nbh file to "hermimg.nbh".
2. Insert into Hermes and go to bootloader.
3. If sd card is formatted fat32 and flash file is renamed properly, follow the prompts.
Cheers...
