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

Mda - death after Update! HELP!!

I got trouble - I tell you....
Yesterday, I wanted to update my T-mobile MDA from winmobile 2002 to 2003. I was using "Lumpistefans" -Romkitchen (xda.weblink.net). I choose the rom to be coocked as an "installer exe".
When I performed the update, everything worked fine - for about 30 secs....then brakedown
This message accoured "Can not open COM/USB port...."
from this time on, my mda seems to be toasted!! I can't switch it on , softreset won't work - and after an hardreset the display only shows some black stripes and two blank squares at the top half.
I don't need to mention, that Activesync isn't recognising the mda anymore - saying "uknown usb device - can't connect"
I don't think the Bootloader is working still either - by pressing the on/off button, the bootloader should be activated ..or??!? I never tried that before.
I read the thread "rom flashing is dangerous" but didn't get any helpfull info on my case.
I need Help...getting quiet despered!!
THANKS for alls Help , Hints and comments!!!!!
ciao

here is how you enter the bootloader
http://xda-developers.com/bootloader/

ok thanks - the bootloader is still working ... can i now just flash it with a rom using my sd card?

yes just plug in the sdcard of min 64MB into your sdcard writer/reader and use xdatools to flash the nbf or nb1 file to the card
and put in the sdcard and go back into the bootloader

To be sure that your MAgician is o.k. flash a ROM from your Provider. Also you can get Cotullas WWE3.03 ROM from here http://cotulla.pp.ru/Magician3.html
Be sure that you have Radio 1.12 on your Magician ! ! ! !

help! cingular8125 stucked in splash screen..

need help!!
my cingular8125 stucked in splash screen. however, it can still goes into bootloader mode.
when it is turned on, it only shows these informations:
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gsm 2.xx.x
os??? (no information)
some rom problem occurs i guess..
when i tried to flash it with other rom. i go to bootloader mode. connect usb but it doesn't connect in activesync. so i get an error when i start ruu.exe.
is it possible to flash rom on my wizard without using activesync?
or using sd card?
is there a dumped rom so i can flash rom using sd card?
any solutions??

need any dumped rom for my wizard..
SOLVED MY OWN PROBLEM:
for those having the same problem here's how i solved mine..
some things may not necessarily needed..
but these steps worked for me:
first thing first:
download a mtty.exe, if you got a zip extract it somewhere..
get a working wizard, or if your wizard can still backup your image you can..
since in my splash screen os onformation doesn't show up anymore.. sd rom backup on my wizard stucked in bootloader mode didn't work out for me.
so i get another working wizard running in cracing's wm6.5 you can get os images on any cooked rom you want..
1.) kill task manager first on your phone. if your'e using activesync 4.5 go to connections and untick the checkbox for "allow usb connections"
2.) go to bootloader mode (turn off the phone/remove battery then hold camera while powering on)
3.) connect usb you'll see little indication on your lower left part of your screen "usb"
4.) run mtty.exe
5.) choose //wceusbsh001
6.) then type "r2sd all" then enter
7.) you'll see a loading bar on your in your bootloader screen so you can see its progress..
8.)turn off the phone. enter bootlader mode. will ask you if you want to copy images on your sd.
9.) hold voice dial button(upper right-side corner of your phone ) and writing will begin
10.) when its done poweroff and on normally and your wizard is back to business..
cheers!!!
