Hi
I wiped out my bootloader somehow while attempting to downgrade it via SD card method.
pnewbootloader is not working ROM version 4.01.16
I am trying to change pnewbootloader to add support for this final t-mobile version. Can someone help with details on the FLASH start address calculation/lookup.
thanks
any body know how to get the flash addresses listed in the code. I was scanning through all of ROM using pmemdump. but no luck

Hi all!
I stuck in WM2003PE v. 4.00.10. Since I have been updated to it, my XDA cannot use phone function. Cannot receive calls and while I make a call... appear a popup menu from signal: "The operation failed". I so sad, I don't know what to do now :x . Anyone help me ???
My XDA is:
Wallaby Bootloader: 5.17
ROM version: 4.00.10 (I feel a vindictive hatred for it :x :x :x )
Radio Stack: 4.21
I'm from ASIA
As you known I can not downgrade from this ROM version by exe file.
I can not downgrade from this ROM version by SD card because my Bootloader is 5.17
XDAtools is a new tool. Can I use it to downgrade my XDA? Tell me method by detail, please (sorry, I don't want to sad again).
Thank for all
You CAN downgrade to say, 3.17 (Thats my TMobile version) if you have the nk.nbf file and use the XDA Tools.
You have to do it via the Wallaby Boot loader method... by placing the ROM on an SD card (via XDA Tools). To do this, I think that you need an SD card reader, as XDA Tools does not seem to do it via the phone...
There are instructions on how to do this as well as
A BIG WARNING about 5.17 boot loader.
I did it on my TMobile phone, with Bootloader 5.15.
So, do NOT follow the instructions I have stated here, read on this site and in the forum about how to flash your rom via the SD CARD Method.
That should do it for you..
BTW, when you write the ROM to the SD CArd, it WILL erase the SDCard data, so save off your stuff before you do this.

Thank jta
But, How do I have to downgrade my Bootloader from 5.17 to 5.15?
I tried XDAtools but no success
Anyone idea?
Hi VHS,
My XDA had bootloader 5.17 like yours, and I was stuck with T-Mo 4.00.10 also. I was able to correct the situation though, by doing the following:
I changed the bootloader with XDAtools from Jeff (it has 5.15 included), by running the “Fix broken bootloader” part of the program.
Then, I used SDcard/bootloader method to go back to 4.00.05, and successful. I knew I could use XDAtools also for doing this, but I preferred the SDcard/bootloader’s way then. Mind you that, using SDcard/bootloader’s way was very easy after you downgrade from 5.17 to 5.15. Since then, I could flash whichever rom I want, but not 4.00.10.
If you want to do the same, please read as much for the detail from the various forum here and carefully.
I hope this helps.
Hi beeheij!
Can you tell me the way in order to downgrade my bootloader from 5.17 to 5.15 by detail? I tried a lot of time but no success. I don't know why. And you tell me go back v.4.00.05 by SD Card.
I'm grateful to you very much
Has it occured to you that
"Help me... Help me... Help me... Anyone help me !!!"
is a really, really, really bad subject line ? I changed it to something which may get many more people to take a look and possibly help you...
If you can still use ActiveSync, you could try to use Jeff's version of the XDAtools to downdgrade the bootloader to 5.15, and work your way out from there...
I just cooked up and loaded a ROM.
Rom 4.00.11 eng
Radio version 6.18.00
During the selection process, I chose sim unlock as one of the wanted features however it did not unlock and now asks for SID cose when I insert forieng sim card. I have even tried to download XDAunlock but it gives me an error message that it cannot find unlcok code?
What's the solution?
Unlock Tool didn´t work with WM2003.
Cook a Rom with 3.17.03 unlock your phone and then upgrade to WM2003.
Unlock-Tool requires the wireless Modem, that is not included in the WM2003

Can I downgrade rom from 4.00 to 3.17?
Anything special to know?
I would suggest you backup your original rom using sd method before embarking on any flashing of the device.
Nah, just flash the phone at will: just remember that you need an SD-card to load anything else once you've had 4.00.10 or 4.00.16 (both T-Mobile ROMs).
I did as X recomended. Flashed to 3.17, unlocked, then flashed to 4.00
It was a breeze. Thanks for the great work. The Kitchen is awesome.
I got my Device just a week ago.
Yesterday when im upgrading Rom, it crashed, i H reset sometimes but no use. Now i wanna reload RS (cause now the resutlt when i hold Power+reset is "GSM Error") and CE Rom but the bootloader version is 6.22 so Bootloader Patch didnt work. I downloaded the source code of bootloader patch, it seems that the patch only run when BL version is 5.17!?!?? When i push SD diagnostic card, only a "diagnostic" string appear but the Patch didnt run. So i still cant reload rom. Can developers check the Patch and repair the source code to compatible with 6.22 BL. i will thank you so much, now i dont know what to do with my Device. (
Any Suggestion pls email to : w[email protected] or [email protected]
Thanks again
Rgds,
Woo
What were you upgrading to and what method did you use?
Also were you upgrading both ROM and Radio stack?
Now i cant remember what i did (many step), i just wonder if there is a way to downgrade the bootloader or skip Card Key Check of the 6.22 Bootloader. Any Suggestion ? PLS.
Rgds,
W.

Try to upgrade the ROM to 3.17 from this site and it will unlock your device with the first boot
www.xda-developers.com/SER/
Good luck ...
I'm sure this is a dum ? but do see a link to download the update. I saw the part that talked about having a box and dont have all of that. Could someone hook me up with the update.

Actually, there's enough smoke and mirrors involved in all of this that you'll quickly learn there are no dumb questions.
First, go to a site that is running a "ROM kitchen" and cook up a ROM, such as:
http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php
Create a 3.17.03 ROM with no config data and uncheck all of the optional software, so you have an absolutely bare-bones 3.17.03 OM with no frills.
Second, Find some way to back up your existing ROM, either onto an SD card or onto your computer.
Third, install the 3.17 ROM on your XDA. Many here prefer the SD card method of loading; I took my chances just using the .exe with the device in the USB cradle with no problems. Once loaded, when you boot up, it will say "Your Device's SIM appears to be locked, would you like to unlock it?" You simply select "yes" and that's that... I literally had the 3.17 ROM on my device for all of one boot and no more than 20 seconds. Then load your existing ROM or a newly "cooked" feature-laden ROM from one of the kitchens back on to your device and you're back in "bidness."
I too made the journey from ATTWS to T-Mo and with a little luck, and a little help from people here, it went very smoothly.
Everyone here has a different level of experience, both on matters technical and matters XDA, so don't be afraid to ask any questions you might have so you have a clear picture of the whole process before you start.

Thanks for all of your help guys. Got it too work
Kitchen ROM Errors
Hello all,
I have been reading all day on the forum, as am an SX56 owner (former AT&T) now with T-Mobile and want to get it working and unlocked on their network.
I cooked up the 3.17 ROM as an executable, and downloaded the rom.exe file.
Each time I run it, it starts up the DOS window, then the Uploader Software, then gives me an Error 007 Dialog window, Cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC. Please download and try again.
I have tried this three times now, but cannot get to the 3.17 so I can unlock, and get to WM2003 and the new radio stack for T-Mobile.
HELP!!!! Thanks
Hello ..
It seems you do need to try the SD card method. Either to get SD card and reader/writer and cook your new ROM as .nb1 file, or to get a SD backup for the ROM from any other t-mobile device.
Mad Max,
1st, how do you back up your current ROM? Please provide step by step procedure.
2nd, How do you load your original ROM back in? When you load back your original ROM, does the phone get locked again?
3rd, it looks like you've done what I want to do, can you please provide a step by step on how you installed the 3.17 ROM on the XDA using the USB cradle?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all. I appologize for starting a new thread, but I wasn't sure which topic to post under as this problem seems to span a few. In short, here's my problem: I'm trying to upgrade my Tmobile UK MDA Vario to 2.26.10.2 from 1.6.2.4 WWE. I'm using the stock Tmobile USA ROM updater available from the tmobileapps site.
When I run the upgrade file I get a failure with an Error 294 - Invalid Vender ID. While I don't understand why UK and USA would have different locks, I figured fine, I'll use lokiwiz to unlock my phone.
I've tried lokiwiz 0.2b to unlock the CID, but I get the itsutils.dll error (that it can't update the file).
So now I'm stuck. I can't upgrade the ROM using the US ROM, and I can't seem to CID unlock the phone to allow me to use another ROM. The official UK ROM is sitting a few versions back, and I don't want to have to upgrade twice, so that's out (unless someone can point me to a site where I can get the newer UK ROM).
Anyone know what I should try? I'm kinda stumped. The only think I can think of is that I'm only activesynced to this computer as a Guest, not as a real activesync pairing. Could that effect either the ROM upgrade or the unlocker?
For reference, here's more info about my phone:
IPL 1.06
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.6.2.4
Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
Did u install the EnableRAPI CAB in your phone before starting lokiwiz?
Also, i remember that i had to run lokiwiz 0.2b twice to unlock my phone and my friend's one.
So try this: soft reset the phone, install enableRapi.cab, run lokiwiz and then run it again.
Good luck!
bye!
Yup, that was it. I thought I only needed the EnableRAPI CAB if I was SIM unlocking. Silly me.
Thank you!
