active sync problem

I have tried to install an upgrade for my xdaII. Unfortunately it was UK upgrade I started to install into my Asian xdaII. Halfway through the installation there was a ROM version error and it has rejected installation.
Now there isn't any software or an operating system in my pocketpc. There is no way I can sync this with my pc for the installation of the correct version.
Can anyone help?
there is this guide
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
you can extract the nk.nbf file from the UK upgrade and use xdanbftool.exe to modify the language ID then re-flash your device.
In your case, you should have a frozen dimmed screen with the word "Serial" on top and the boot loader version towards the bottom of the screen ... if by inserting the device into the cradle the word Serial changes to USB, this means the boot loader is still in function.
Good luck
I did modify nbf headers using xda2nbftool and changed device type, operator and language but still getting following error message:
"ERROR 102: CE Image file checksum error"
"The ROM image file to be used for the update is corrupt. Download correct ROM update and try again"

Ther must be a way for UNBRICKING

Hi, I searched a lot on forum and found a way for flashing from sdcard in Hermes forum.
There for i took a RUU_signed.nbh file copied to the fromated SDcard
- renamed it to HERAIMG.nbh (similar to HERMIMG.nbh on hermes forum)
--> and put the phone in bootloader
--> it starts searching sdcard
AND THEN
--> a processbar appears and it says "Checking SD contents"
BUT
--> "Invalid Certificate" - press any key.
So there must be a way to flash from SD card.
I will try different RUU and tell more.
Someone wanne help?
It must be named
"HERAIMG.nbh"
then it stops on white screen saying: Checking SD contents
But i got
Invalid Certificate
AND when it is an official .nbh extracted from RUU_xxxxx
it stops for 5sec on
"Checking SD content"
but the processbar doesn´t change and then it goes to bootloader without changing anything.
????????????????????????????
I will test this method too, i saw some flash of SD hen going into bootloader mode, did'nt know there was an option like this i will post my experiences
I tried these two RUU nbh's:
- RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship
- RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_1.8.405.1_02.71.90_Ship
I've firtstly formatted my SD card, then copied NBH file's to my SD and named them HERAIMG.nbh.
Both times there was only a statusbar that did not proceed loading, and my continues in bootloader after 3 seconds...
Also got the Invalid Certificate error when I copied the WM6 nb of ASerg and renamed it to HEARIMG.nbh.. what is this certificate? and can it be edited in a way so we can flash??
Talking about unbricking anyway, can Herald users use Platform Builder?? i read in a thread that you're phone has to have KITL, but i don't think the Herald has KITL.. Can anyone who knows for sure please tell?

The .nbh are "signed" os files. you can generate these fiels by "nbhgen.exe" but i didn´t get it to work with an RUU - it allways says "image is corrupted" because it only contains OS.nb
when you extract an RUU_signed.nbh out of the RUU_xxx.exe it contaisn splash.nb, os.nb, extrom.nb, spl.nb etc.
That´s the certificate = the singend nbh
So that won't be an option I guess... too bad
but does the Herald have KITL in bootloader mode? if so, you could use Platform Builder to unbrick your phone.. that would be very very sweet.
And what is this mtty thing? should be some funky stuff to

MTTY never worked for me - but that could be my system. And KITL - i don´t know what this is. sorry.
I sent it to O2 and hope they will repair some minor bugs and also the booting problem.
Little thready about unbricking a Hermes with KITL + Platform Builder:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1162054#post1162054
Hmm i'll have a look around to find out what this mtty thing does..
btw: KITL = Kernel Independent Transport Layer, it is the windows ce kernel debugger interface
Is there anyone continueing papamopps' solution to unbrick Herald?
^^no need anymore, you can just use an official WM6 RUU

That´s not right. For unbricking a XDA Terra we still need a soulution.
The Terra IS NOT the P4350!!!!!
And the RUU updates are for P4350 (and in some cases for VPA compact)
But not for terra - we have to wait for an O2 update....
Vendor Id
I have a Vodafone CID(?) locked bricked HTC P4350.
Using the HTC updates I cannot unbrick my phone, because it keeps saying "Invalid Vender Id".
This unbricking with flashcard could be a solution for me.
I already try with official rom, but my herald is still brick, i can not syncronize the herald with pc to run the official rom.
It is freeze in inicial boot with HTC logo.
help, please anyone....
You can't simply place the rom file to the card and hope the device will read it in this way. In my time working for pda service, we used WINHex to format the card (to RAW-unformatted) and then we wrote the rom file in RAW format to the card. Your card looks like an endless stream of hexazecimal values. Only winhex recognises this format, if you insert the card to the computer, it will simply ask you to format it. After inserting this card into the pda, it will start the upgrade . The order of this operation was, as I remember, to fill the card with 0000 values (there is an option in WINHex, a kind of format) then write the rom file to the card in RAW mode. Then insert the card to the device.
Another way was to use MTTY, connect the pda to the computer (PDA should be in bootloader), open MTTY and connect with the device. ActiveSync should be killed before this. In MTTY in the terminal window write "set 14 0" then remove the data cable, then close MTTY, reconnect data cable then run the RUU.
These methods worked on HP Ipaq's wich we were repairing in our service center some time ago. I don't know if it works for herald or htc products because their RUU has a different way to register with the device.

XDA tools problem

hy there,
when i was updating a qtek1010 to wm2003SE rom, that was cooked in romkitchen, the upgrade stoped at 99%.
now i can only get into the bootloader.
bootloader version : 5.15
i've searched, and now i'm trying to upgrade from SD MMC, when i'm using OSImageTool.exe , i open the nk.nbf, destination SD MMC, then it displays this error, (NK.nbf:incorrect filesize(33554463), file should be exactly 32505888 bytes. error opening input file)
What should I do???
Thanks
Download an other ROM. THE NK.nbf-Fiel you have is the WM2003SE ROM. This file can not be written through XDA-Tools.
Download anoteher WM2003 or PPC2002 ROM, flash your device via SD-Card and the run the exe File of the WM2003SE-ROM.....
Stefan
thanks so much, it worked
but now, when i put the sdd in the qtek1010, on the bootloader nothing apears.. only :
WALLABY
Bootloader
V5.15
GSM OK
and when i press action button it displays a diagnostics list like "ram, display, touch etc..."
what am i doing wrong?
what can i do?
i've putted the sdd card in a HP photosmart to copy the .nb1 file.. is this wrong?
thanks,
Luis Martins Portugal
Looks like the ROM isn´t written correct to the card.
Otherwise it will show directly in bootloader that you can install the new ROM.
I´m nearly sure the HP Photosmart causes this problem. Do you have access to another SD-Card writer?
Stefan
ok, i'll buy a card reader and try again
thanks Stefan
i'll post here the results.
gretz
Just to ensure. You have copied the ROM using XDA Tools to the SD Card, or?
Normal paste & copy does not work......
