Cannot flash O2 ROM to SD card

I am not able to Flash the original O2 ROm to the SD card.
I have copied the file NK.NB1 using XDAtools to the SC card and did a soft reset.
It does not work. Can someone please help me and give me the exact steps to do the same.
I have WM2003 (tmobile) on the phone memory. Wallaby bootloader ver. 6.22.
Please help me.

Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

It does not bring me to that screen on the bootloader after the reset.
It just says GSM OK.
please help...

6.22 doesn't recognize ROMs on SD cards ... you have to downgrade it to 5.15 ... and I doubt you can do it coz tmobile ROMs prevent USB flashing
Anyway, try this ... under \XDAtools\binaries directory run this command while your device is connected
pnewbootloader bootloader_5_15.nb0

I just tried and this is what the cmd window says:
D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_5_15.nb0
ERROR: fopen(bootloader_5_15.nb0) - The system cannot find the file specified.
ERROR reading bootloader
Please help me...............please

Oops ... there is a missing "v"
The file name is bootloader_v5_15.nb0

Or just try bootloaderfix.bat
This will do the same... ;-)
Stefan

This is what I got now:
D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
'D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: ITReadProcessMemory - Unspecified error
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect
D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>

I believe this is a DOS error as it can't read "Program Files" as a full name due to the space character.
Try running this command your self from the DOS command window

same error message. typed the whole command myself.

anything?? any answers???
:idea:
:shock:

might be a silly advice ... copy the 2 files to a different directory with a short name ... ex. C:\Test ... and make sure that the device is connected to ActiveSync and in sync

same problem
i cannot downgrade wallaby 5.17 to 5.15 same as diki... but in 5.17 i can use patch wallaby to flash rom to 2003 successful ly... but i still want to know how to downgrade wallaby....
somebody please tell me

sorry in bad english....

Huray. .. i find the way to downgrade wallby 5.17 to 5.15
may be it's can help u
fist please read this fixbootloader.zip is work for .........
This tool depends on specific memory locations for certain roms.
It does verify that it is talking to a known rom. It also does a very
minimalisitc check if the file presented to it resembles a bootloader.
I tested it with 3.16.52, 4.00.10 and 3.04.00 ( the very old ppc2003 rom ).
It should also work with 3.17.03, 3.19.01, 4.00.01 and 4.00.05.
unpack the archive, from the command prompt, in the 'build' directory
run 'pnewbootloader bl515.nb0'.
it should take about 10 seconds.
output should be something like this:
C:\fix\build>pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0

Bingo........u have wallaby 5.15 absolutely
This is my step but i flash from 4.00.11Eng Wallaby 5.17 to 3.17.03Eng cook from http://xda.weblink.net ( may this my method not work for u )
first i must go back to ppc 2002 with ver 3.17.03
1.i burn sd by patch wallyby 5.17 with xdarit ( ver 1.3 M ) check box in 1k
2.insert sd to xda
3.press power+soft reset
4.that show screen ................patch press action to continue
5.press contact button
6.that show new menu is restore from sd ( oh god how u can do that xda-development teams ........thx very much )
7.i burn rom 3.17.03 that cook from http://xda.weblink.net ( thank again ) make sure when u cook this rom u did't check box except only for 3.17.03 that have simunlock already and i download in Nk.zip ( sd method )
8.burn Nk.nb1 with xdarit ( ver 1.3 M ) check box in 3.5k
9.press action to restore
10.that confirm to abort or yes press yes
11.wait.........not over than 5 minutes
12.that show screen check sum ok ....succesfully ........ cold reboot
13.press hard reset button ( near earphone plug )
14.boot screen and u have ..... welcome ppc 2002 ... try next step that show on screen and sync with u pc by Guest
15.find bootloaderfix.zip in this forum u can download somewhere.......
16.copy and paste it to Harddisk and extract to bootloaderfix\
17.go to start menu in ur Pc.... i use winXp
18.choose run and type this cmd it will show ur Dos command
19.in Dos command may be will show C:\Documents and Settings\new> u must type this C:\cd\ to go to C:\>
20.type C:\cd bootloaderfix to go C:\ bootloaderfix>
21.type C:\bootloaderfix>cd build to go C:\bootloaderfix\build>
22.type C:\bootloaderfix\build>pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0
23.Enter it and if it's not wrong that show this screen
C:\bootloaderfix\build>pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0
protection found at 8c0d62d8
result: 00000000 00000000
24.Congratulation now u have Wallaby 5.15 already u can check by unpluck ur cradle and press soft reset+power to check
25.Now that's free times to Upgrade or Downgrade with no problem
26.in Wallaby 5.15 U must use Xdatool to burn rom in ur sd or mmc no need Xdarit anymore hehehehe ( very fast to write rom ..don't believe me? try with ur self )
27.finish........and up to u to upgrade in wm2003 or ppc2002 any version......... huray.......
May be this i write it's cannot help u so much .....but i trust may be it's useful for dump man like me to downgrade Wallaby since i try to read more than 400 topic in here....... : )
and if u cannot flash 3.17.03 in sd because ur Wallaby block it....try to make rom is Nk.exe file but it's very risk to up/downgrade
by activesync because i broke my xda to dead because my com is Hank......... spare ur UPS to protect accident like me...
and so very Sorry in Very Bad English because it's not my tongue language : )
try to do and reply to me in this forum or my email [email protected] Thx....xda-developers teams again ........

Hi I am New about it but I have an Idea probably i have download the radio_stack_upgrade form My-Xda O2 web site and also i have Cooked a nbf ROM file from http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ and i have replaced the nbf ROM file to C:\Program Files\PROGRAMME A\english and try to run the PROGRAMME A.exe to upgrade will i have a success on this think ?

D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
'D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

yeah it's a long file name issue
i think it needs to be d:\program^1 insted of d:\program files
if you make a dir command in the root of the consol it should display
all the names of the dirs in the root
and that should make it clear how the consol inpert the progra files dir name

Thanks for the help
When I build the rom at that page, nothing happens? It thinks for a while then stops? Any ideas?
Thanks!

OK, was able tog et an image of lumpi's page
But now when I run it, it says "ERROR: GetDeviceData - Unspecified error" in the dos window. This "Programme A" exe has never worked on my pda?
Any ideas?
I know you say to use the flash card, but I dont have an external writer?
Thanks,

Then you have to stay at your current ROM. T-Mobile ROMs prohibit flashing via Exe-file, and you get the Error Message....
So only possibility is to flash via SD-Card. As much as i know, you can alos use the XDA itself as Card Reader. Give it a try with the XDA-Tools...

Hi...
In the Magician,extended ROM customization is not as easy as other devices.
For himalaya devices,u can use ER2003edit to open ms_.nbf files,edit them by replacing the cabs,or u can unlock and unhide ur extended ROM using extrom unlocker,then u wille able to see extended ROM as a removable drive,and u can edit cabs within...(note that cabs are *.cab files,or cabinet files,those files are executable on ur PPC,almost every program or software is a cab file,even if it doesn't look like,cab file must be contained in,exept executable applications on PPC like .exe that runs directly by clicking on)
In BlueAngel,ER2003edit don't open it's ms_.nbf,but still u have an extrom unlocker for BAs....so u can also edit ext ROMs...
Now in Magician,and due to the difference in hardware architecture(Magician have one rom slot of 64mb),this device don't have (yet) an ext ROM unlocker,and ER2003edit do not open it's ms_.nbf files....(and the member (Anansky) who did the big storage and we all believe he can make or help in making extrom unlocker,seem to have vanished... :? ...)still,there's advanced methods to customize ur ext ROM,but take into consideration that they r not easy....
1-by dumping the ROM to storage card,then using ntrw and a hex editor to cut a partition of the decoded ROM(the ext ROM),mounting it as virtual drive using total commader plugin,editing it,and reflashing using SD method....ouff...read more about this method from here...
2-by freeing ur ext ROM memory using big storage,then making a folder called 2577 on ur storage card,put in autorun.exe and a .zip file containing ur cabs,so,once u do a hard reset,the cabs will be installed automatically from ur SD card....read about big storage from here and here...learn about 2577 folder from buzz's site... http://www.buzzdev.net/
note that this method does not make u an extended ROM like ms_.nbf,but will do the job as it will install ur favorite cabs directly after hard reset....
Good luck...
RAGO :lol:

Just to share with everyone after few days trying, I have succesfully upgrade my dopod 828, the main problem is facing the Error 150, the Upgrade utility is not designed for this device
The procedure is more or less the same as pervious post in this forum, but just little bit different
1. Right click on the EXE-file and extract to a named folder (using Winzip or something similiar)
2. You should end up with about 6 - 8 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and maupgradeut, the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade
3. Download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
4. Once you have this file you will need to add this to the folder created above as this is the file needed to initiate the upgrade.
----- until step is exactly the same
Skip this step-> In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and untick the USB connection.
5. In ActiveSync, go to option -> Schedule, Set it to Manual, this is to make the PPC USB connection to ActiveSync active but don't do any Sync with your PC and PPC during the upgrade process.
6. Connect the phone to the USB, manually sync once. From now onwards, the step is the same.
-----
7. Now run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
8. The upgrade Wizard will start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the country Id error.
9. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file again and this time it should allow you to run the Wizard.
10. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 10 - 15 minutes.
11. When finished you should get the upgrade successful notification and a prompt to reset the device
12. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and tick the USB connection.
13. Enjoy your new ROM
I am trying to upgrade my Dopod 828, and I get a error no. 150 said the ROM is not designed for this device... oh.....

howto repair damaged ext_rom--SOLVED (cook own extrom)

seems the solution has been found. the following is a translation from a threat i found claiming to solve the damaged ext_rom situation.
PLEASE NOTE: I had no device to test this, others claim this to work though. USE AT OWN RISK!!!
here you go:
What you need:
1 program: Flash Format V2.66
2 program: Unhide_Uni_Extended_ROM (storage made visible)
to begin install "Unhide Ext. ROM", followed by softreset.
Execute "Flash-Format" and install to device via activesync.
should see extended_rom on your device as an empty folder.
Once you check system settings you should get the ext_rom displayed as 0,93mb free.
start flash format, to be found under settings/system, not programs!
Change to the tab “format”, choose "storage" on top, choose “fat16” and "cluster size 1KB"
Untick “backup FAT”, and than tap “format”
Once formatting is done, you should see the .cabs again.
if this is ok, use “flash format” again and use “auto-run”, choose “storage”, below “config text” of the extended_rom and tick “activate-autoRun”. Followed by “test” and you should see the whole config.text again.
terminate “flash format”, and deinstall program"Unhide-Ext.-Rom".
you are ready to perform a hardreset and the original setup routine should run as before you destroyed the extrom.
in addition: SEEMS TO be able to add own cabs this way too!? i am somewhat pressed for time, so anybody volunteering to be the guinea-pig?

I have tested the solution in order to repair the damaged extend_rom of my Artemis and has worked.
Great!!!!
Thanks a lot

This don´t work on my XDA Orbit. Flash Format says at the format: "Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29). Please close any application which may be accessing files on the storage card."
All applications was closed. Resco Explorer says me the same when i want to format.

check anyway if the files are visible now

The files was visible, i know this, i have make this with Resco Explorer last month, but the Extended Rom don´t work after a hardreset.
The info comes with 3 seconds, but after 3 seconds the info closed and thats it, nothing installed.
Sorry for my bad english!

Try to perform this operation with FlashFormat and test it
<if this is ok, use “flash format” again and use “auto-run”, choose “storage”, below “config text” of the extended_rom and tick “activate-autoRun”. Followed by “test” and you should see the whole config.text again.>

Same problem for me, on HTC P3300, i'm getting same message:
"Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29). Please close any application which may be accessing files on the storage card."

NICE WORK THX
i have now own extrom
when you se
"Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29). Please close any application which may be accessing files on the storage card."
it is unlocked and editable
you can delete all files and copy new

I got the same error message ("Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29) ...") but found out that if you ignore it and go ahead with the procedure, you will succeed in repairing the Extended_ROM as well ... - i.e. the Extented_ROM utilities will install after hard reset is performed ...

... and one more thing, the Extended_ROM works OK even after an old full backup was restored on the device.

is it possible to delete that "Storage", to get more free memory?

Trouble with Unhide Ext
I am desperately trying to bring my iPaq File Store extended memory back to life. The RX3700 series (and others apparently) have a defect that locks the memory up if it gets to close to full. Then you can't format it or anything.
It sounds like this fix might address the problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to load the "Unhide Ext.rom" correctly. So naturally the extended memory is not appearing in the FlashFormat app.
Could someone please post a step by step for getting the "Unhide Ext.rom" installed and working properly?
Thanks!

Have you tried Hard resetting? yes the ext_rom looks ok even after reinstalling backup, but the question is if ext_rom apps will reinstall after hard reset???

[Q] iPaq hw6915 English ROM

Hi!
Can anybody grab own English ROM, zip'ed it and send to me?
How to do it describes here:
Setup
- rename 'grab_it_xx.exe' to 'autorun.exe'
- create folder '2577' on your (better empty) Mini-SD card (You need card more then 128 Mb)
- copy 'autorun.exe' to this folder
That's it for the "setup"
Usage
Now every time, when you insert this card into PPC it will grab the ROM image and save it into root of the card as 'dump.bin'.
On my French device this tool asks me the confirmation. Once done, it will beep the default sound. After release card may be error message "Can't create card" - ignore it. Message boxes are only shown in case of error.
IMPORTANT NOTE (thanx MDAIIIuser)
YOU MUST NOT put it back into another device!!!
YOU MUST read the SD with card reader on your desktop PC.
Otherwise, you will rewrite the dump with your own ROM!!!!
This ROM dump file can be then further processed and converted to flashable formats. It is very good for compress.

I have successfully changed OS language follow by steps described by Drahtman
BTW Thank you man! You are the king!
I would also thank wikidorg and many of you people for your shared knowledge.
Conclusion is so simple and so funny at the same time. Before you start, always RTFM
To get process more easy and lazy I have added files I used to change the language:
CEOS.rar english OS (the real one not the fake!)
aWizard_1.2.zip - contain everything what Drahtman described
SpbPocketPlus4_setup.exe
You can reach this compressed packet over here.

Once you have it just follow by Drahtman steps.
Good Luck
