I blew my bootloader some how and spent some time modifying the pnewbootloader source code to make it work for WM2003 ROM version 4.01.16
I took original source code by itsme and added version and address information for ROM 4.01.16
Use this in conjunction with a valid 5.15 bootloader image to downgrade your bootloader imaget to 5.15 from 6.22 or 5.22 or 5.17
type pnewbootloader_40116.exe bootloader_v5_15.nb0
to apply the bootloader.
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. This program uses defined ROM addresses and will only work with known ROM versions. There are some basic checks to prevent damage.
Fixbootloader don't work
I have T-Mobile ROM 4.01.16 with bootloader 5.15 probably locket by this T-Mobile ROM (I can't flash any other ROM and original pnewbootloader whrite message "Unable to find flash info offset, cannor disable bootloader writeprotect")
When I trying to start you updated pnewbootloader, my WinXP popup a message
"The application failed to inicialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate the apllication"
What should it be?.. :?:
This application needs ActiveSync and also the "itsutils.dll" to be located in the same folder as teh EXE.
Which version of XP are you using. I built it on a XP pro SP1 box.
I have exactly the same: WinXP Pro SP1
I run in cmd "pnewbootloader_40116.exe bl515.nb0"
from the folder, which contain
pnewbootloader_40116.exe
pnewbootloader.exe
itsutils.dll
pput.exe
bl515.nb0
Activesync 3.71 i connected to my XDA.
Cant really say why you are having this problem. But one this might help.
Seems like your .net framework is either old or not working.
Go to windows update to download and install the 1.1 .net framework or visit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&DisplayLang=en
Thank you for your help! The problem was realy in .NET version.
I had 1.0 installed on my WinXP.
After updating to .NET 1.1 your program is working fine. And it seems, that it updated my bootloader. Its output was
pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0
in FindFlashOffset (or somthing like this)
protection found at 8c0d62c8
result: 00000000 00000000
After that my device is still bootable and boot my 4.01.16
But I still can't update my ROM to 3.17.03 through XDATools..
Can anyone help me? plzzzz!
are you using xdarit to write your image to SD card ?.
You have to use SD card flash method to upgrade/downgrade the ROM.
Download XDarit and use that to write the image (.nb1) to SD card in 1k header format.
Then reset and boot your pda after holding the power button. You will see a menu which will let you flash your PDA with the image on the SD. Search for xdarit on the forum. You will find SD card flash process also.
rchir, when you said I blew my bootloader some how , did you mean you get GSM error?
Thanks
No,
I was unable to get into the bootloader anymore. I trid to build a boot loader upload SD card and it wiped out the boot loader from my PPC.
GSM error might be due to you Radio firmware failure.
Thanks, well, if you could figure out how to solve the Radio firmware failure, please post it, I'm sure many people here would apreciate it :lol:
would this fix my broken bootloader?my unit doesn't display anything on it's screen, I think I've already erased my bootloader pls help me, I'm so desperate about this.... i tried everything which inside this thread but my activesync can't detect my unit...SOS
I also have a broken bootloader ...
I have an xdaII, and I've somehow overwritten the original bootloader v1.06 with a corrupt bootloader image. Now my xdaII is completely dead. No leds flashing, no screen, no button response. All I get is a flashing red led when i rty to charge my xdaII without the battery. It seems I can't access my bootloader anymore. Plz help !! If you know any method to access the boot loader agin it be a great help. Thanks.
sorry guys, it has been a long time since i sold my XDA, but i think pnewbootloader will only work if you are able to connect your pda to PC with activesync.
So you should have a working XDA, with a broken bootloader to get it fixed. Seems like in your case, Both the ROM and Bootloader are corrupt. I am not sure about any process which will fix both at the same time.
can u post the download again? or pls send it to me [email protected].. THANK YOU..
(the download feature does not work, here in my computer, and another another computer appears a error message)

I did upgrading without any problem. BUT when it finish upgrading, my device won't start. It hangs-up at splash screen and showing ROM version and Radio Version only. I tried many many times with no success.
I need some help please

ROM date: 05/22/03
Radio version: 4.21.00
Protocol version: 32s54

Thank you in advance

Download again with NB0 then upgrade from your SD.
Download again with nb1 then upgrade from your SD.
Thank you, socheat.
But I did download nb1 and I tried upgrading with the sd method and the upgrading was successfully but my device won't startup it shows only the splash screen ( NOT FOR SALE ** Powered By Micro$oft ** ) and nothing happen after this screen
I restored my old rom (3.18.04 ENG) and the device is working now, but I want to upgrade to WM2003 :roll:
Is that cuz I upgrade the Radio ? my old radio version was 3.25 ( not sure ).
Thank you , All

Got same problem with you Bailamos
My Bootloader is 5.17
Now by XDArit + SD flash + Wallaby patch, I brought my XDA back to 3.20.06 original from O2 already.
Wondering should I downgrade Bootloader to 5.15 or not?
In XDArit it has one upper box which we can put Bootloader in.
Should I put something like "loader515.nb0" in that box during loading OS on SD?????
UP :? Please
update
Please , I need help.
I tried to downgrade my device:
Bootloader 5.22 => 5.15
ROM 3.18.04 => 14.04
I thought it may help upgrading but that complicate the problem!!
NOW , I can't do any upgrade. When I insert the SD card and start booting, it show me the boot screen : PRESS ACTION to start downloading. as soon as I press ACTION it show : GSM OK and nothing happened!!!! It looks like I pressed the exit button ( I PRESSED the ACTION )
The EXE method still not working , the same as before as soon as it shows : 5 min screen , my device restart and it lose the connection with the ActiveSynic
ANY one CAN help ? P L E A S E
Pretty Please
Thank you
yes it will loose sync, but just leave it there!

but it will finish updating, trust me! that worked several times for me.
Thank you , ntabikha.

when my device re-start , the Program ( 1.09 ) show this message:
Can not open a COM/USB Port. Please use Device Manager on PC to make sure that COM/USB port is available and working properly
and terminate immediately after pressing " Ok "
I think there is something I don't know !! but there is someone may know !!
Is that happening cuz I upgraded my Radio Stack ?????????? ???? ???

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...

Have you tried doing it without the Wallaby patch part? If not give that a try, no on the bootloader downgrade part!

3. RSU error in 1% ( RSU use 4.21) i try to downgrade but still error in 1%.

Without the Bootloader you can't flash anything. :-/

I was updating my new i-mate SP3 (typhoon) to the latest i-mate ROM 2.4.33.11 which completed successfully but now every time I turn on the phone it goes directly to the bootloader tri-color screen. I tried several times to update the ROM again but it does'nt help. It shows the proccess completed successfully but the phone is still stuck in bootloader mode.
In the bootloader screen it shows the following
IPL 1.00
SPL 2.5.0102
I even tried to flash the ROM through an image of Orange4114_ALL_SPL1010091 on a miniSD card but it gives an error message
"Not allowed update!"
Please help me figure out how to get my phone working again.
Same PROBLEM here HELP..!
Exactly the same problem if anybody can help ..please do.

sp3i stuck
Hi all,
I have the same problem, but I didn't try the mini-sd boot.
surfturtle, will you kindly send me the way?
Thanks
Hi guys...
I don't have the Typhoon and don't know if this will work for you, but this is at least how we fix this problem on the Hermes:
Enter into bootloader using mtty.exe and run the command "set 14 0" and "task 8". Phone will reboot and start OS.
If it doesn't work, then try the SD flash method mentioned by surfturtle. Keep in mind that if your device is not superCID the image file should match the CID of your phone (must be an original shipped update from your vendor). This method consist on:
1) extract the rom image from the rom upgrade exe (winrar or cabextract can be used for that) and you'll find a .nbf file.
2) Rename it to TYPHIMG.nbf
3) Format your SD card in FAT32
4) Put TYPHIMG.nbf on the root folder of your SD card
5) put sd card on the phone, and enter into bootloader
6) confirm flashing on screen, and wait until the process is finished (do not reset it, will take about 30min).
Check the hermes wiki if you need more information on any of this.
Good luck!
sp3i stuck
thanks pof,
but where would I get mtty.exe and where will I see "set 14 0" & "task 8"
thanks again.

I-mate ROM
Hi, I did the upgrade through the PC but the device info still shows the old ROM: 2.1.33.13 No error messages and the phone keeps hanging on me.
Is this version of ROM the Arabic one? If not, can someone post or point to where I can download the arabic version? I did not find it on the I-mate website.
Thanks in advance,
I-mate SP3 (?rom 2.1.33.13)
Hello,
I have flashed my MDA Vario with a WM6 rom dutch witch worked fine. After i changed my pagepool to 6 MB and soft rebooted my MDA, it stared, but without phone functionalty. every program i try to start it gives me the message that it has no memmory to start the program.
No activesync connection (or any other connection) can be established. I have found some articles on flashing xda pda's from sd card. But in these articles they talk about .NBH files. The only file i can find in the update util is an .NBF file. Can anyone help me solving this issue?
TNX in advance
Try bootloader mode?

Can you get into bootloader mode (tricolor RGB bands)? ("Get your phone in bootloader mode by doing this: Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter into bootloader mode (RGB screen").
Once in bootloader mode you can reflash even though activesync says not connected - just look for little USB in corner of screen.
Tnx cushcalc for your reply.
I have tryed it just a minute ago. I can enter the boot loader but the flashing fails at starting with the message "This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer update utility". I have used the same flash tool as the rom image witch is now on the MDA.
Sounds more like CID locked after flashing the last ROM was flashed....cant u even flash any other wm6 ROM?
You should flash the original T. Mobile ROM from bootloader it should work. After you have the original running you can then re-flash WM6 using shelltool if your phone is CID locked. Try it and lets see how it goes.
You people are the greatest. I have tryed to flash my MDA Vario with the latest rom from t-mobile and now i have a fully functional mda again. BIG TNX for helping!!!
