Hi
I have resolved the Checksum is not correct problem I was having and now have a working xda again.
The problem was solved by formating and writing the SD card on a different PC and writing the ROM using XDATools rather than XDArit. I think the real cause of my troubles was the fact that I was writing to a built-in SD slot on my laptop with XDArit (XDATools could not). When using an SD slot on my HP printer I was successful.
For the record, anyone with an Compaq nx7010, do not try and write to your SD with the built in SD slot!!!!
Thanks to those who assisted

i have a recent boot loader so i need to use XDArit to write a card that will allow me to backup my rom right.
so i downloaded XDArit, the boot loader patch, ran XDArit, put in my MM card, pointed it to my usb SD reader, pointed it to the .nb2 file, and told it to write
it comes up with this error (even after rebooting into explorer):
failed to open device \\.\physicalDrive10
what am i to do? is it that you must use SD cards not MM cards?
just trying to think of possible issues, could it be the SD card reader is plugged into my keyboard and not directly into a motherboard USB port?
Hey there cerberos,
Try the older version of XDArit.
It's also best to have the reader plugged directly into your mainboard.
yes the older version of XDArit worked, thank you
XDArit wont read the card though after i've backed the device to it
Try following:
- write something to your SD with xdarit and leave xdarit working
- backup xda ROM to SD
- read it from SD with XDARit.
I experience the same problem: XDARit fails to read SD until it writes something to it first. Old and new versions are the same.
I tried this and received an error message that "the drive was not a removable drive and would probably overwrite a harddrive...okay?"
There are 5 choices in the drop down menu of drives. All give the same result.

well with the new one i get an error of failed to read device 4, which is strange as the reader appears to be device 14
Hello all. I was able to read from my 64MB SD card fine using XDArit, but when I attempt to write to it (or my 256MB SD card for that matter) I get the following error:
Failed to open device \\.\PhysicalDrive23.
I know XDArit can see the drive because it shows the first bytes in the screen. I have tried formatting the card with FAT and FAT32, no difference. This is the third SD card writer I have tried but I have gotton the furthest with it. Do I need to by a SPECIFIC SD card writer to work with XDArit?
Help!
Never mind, fixed it myself.
I had to go back to the 1.0 verson which worked fine.
Use XDAtools instead of XDArit. Much nicer, easier, better.
I have a SD reader on my laptop, and when i insert the card, it says "disk is not formatted. would u like to format?"
i click yes, then "this disk cannot be formatted"
yes write protection is off
I somehow fried the PPC ROM when trying to upgrade it, so i cannot use it... how do i format the SD card with a PC XPHome SP2

hic, i am facing the same problem.
I upgrade my MDA first to O2 Rom Ver 4.21.00 and then to T-mobile ROM ver 4.01.16.
Both works very well......but both requires fomarting my SD card. The roms do not compatible with my laptop.
When I put my mobile-formated SD card to the SD cad slot on my laptop, it doesn't work at all. It requires new format for the card.
...
Plez help me to solve the problem
ps: I have tried Pocket Mechenic..but the problem still remains.
Try this!
hello. If you are trying to format your sd card with window xp or windows XX. you will never use your sd card in any camera, pocket pc, palm again.
If your computer can not format your sd card, there are 2 possibilities:
1. Your memory chip is damaged
2. You can try to creat boot image using XDA tool and put it in to your XDA. Finally create a boot image. Now. Romve the sd card and plug it in the XDA again, your XDA will ask you to format it. IF not, your memory chip is damaged. Good luck!
i had issues with not being able to format my sd card under winXP
but i could format it with pocket mechanics just fine dident need to format from the bootloader at all

Thanks but that's not what I means.
In my case, when I format the SD card (quick format) by the laptop, it works with only the laptop. When I format the SD card (quick format) by my pocket PC, it works with only my pocket PC.
The SD card works pretty well separately on each device.
The 2 devices cannot use the same fomarted SD card.
That's the problem.
use pocket mechanics to see what the xda format the sd card to fat32 fat16 or ???
see what the laptop format the card to fat32 or fat16 or NTFS
the xda cant real ntfs at all
and some sd readers have problems with fat16 or 32 i forget

..but it's still in trouble
Hello, GREAT FORUM!
I have installed 4.01.16 ROM from lumpistefen kitchen. It's working normal, but a little buggy for me and i wonna to return to my origial 3.17 O2 ROM (i have nk.nbf).
But i can't do it from XDATools directly. The only way, as i see, is update from bootloader. I haven't SD card reader, so i write my 3.17 ROM with XDATools on 128 Mb SD card, using builtin XDA SD card slot.
Then i restart XDA to bootloader (press power+soft reset), which shows me following on the screen:
Wallaby Bootloader
5.15
GSM OK
That's all! What should i do next? How can i start re-flashing?
Can it be bootloader problem? Can it be solved fixed with pnewbootloader from XDAUtilities package (from XDA-Developers). Or i can make my device not loadable at all?
One remark: After rebooting WM2003 promt me to format my SD card to make it readable. Is it correct? Or there are some problems in SD card writting process..
Please, give me some ideas, what should i do! :wink: How can I re-flash my ROM?
I had a similar problem. I tried using XDATools to write a ROM to my SD card but when rebooting-with power key.. it went to the diagnostics screen directly. So I used XDArit1.exe to write to the SD card and this time the XDA recognised the image on the SD card and went into the SD Download screen. But to do this I had to borrow an SD Card reader from a friend.. Oh Also. I did make sure I had Bootloader 5.15 before I did this.
hi, i've a wallaby and while i was updating my rom
the win firewall broke the process :!:
so i've to flash the rom by sd.
but how to put the rom image on the sd wich
is formatted not with fat 16 or 32 but with raw?

hi, i already watched this topic but my PC doesn't recognize
the wallaby by activesync and neither the xda tools is able to write on the sd card.
yesterday i read the sd only using xdarit but - strange
to say - that same program wasn't able to write on these sd!
May be the sd reader is usb 2.0 or the sd is locked because has already been written???
thanks jB
