Apache + MTTY - Cal Checksum Crash... d2s crashes! - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

after happily dumping, hacking, cooking and flashing roms of various devices over the years (most recently the BA)
Im trying to dump my Apache rom to mini-sd and its not working..
the device just comes up with "cal checksum"
is this due to bootloader version? or what?
any help would be great.
cheers.

it also crashes when I try and calculate the Checksum.
or if I try and unlock flashrom

update...
sometimes a reboot helps!
Im just working on the memory ranges.

ROMs and getting it onto the PPC

OK I have the tmo PPC its already got 2003 on it and I know the loader is 5.15, other info that might be needed.
ROM 4.01.16 ENG
Radio 6.25.02
OK I want to get my own cooked ROM onto this, I know I know use the SD card method, well I don't have one and after getting this thing can't get one for a while either. I have the cradle that it comes with and have put software into etc, I have tried some unlock ROM software to find it didn't work etc etc. after cooking ROM and running it it tells me in a DOS window:
Error getconntiontype - An Existing connecitonwas forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting connectiontype
so basicly I need to find a way to get this into my PPC via activesync or something. sorry for bad post a little tired but I think people will understand and be able to help me or tell me I need SD card and wait until I get one.
I think you can use xdatools to flash the rom direct from xda memory, choose the nbf file as source then choose the xda device memory as destination from the drop down box in destination section.
OK tried that but can't access the PPC with xdatools so that won't work. thats for trying though.
TMO ROMs are known to resist exe flashing ... use the SD method and you are lucky to have the boo loader 5.15
Well glad to know that my boot loader is a good one, now to find a SD card I can borrow to do this with, should I use a 32 or 64 or does it really matter as long as it holds the file.
64 megabytes is needed really, I have had a problem with 32 meg, it looks like it is programmed but when i flash it there is always a problem.
macgyver33 talked about having a 2003 version. Can anyone tell me where to get it? I mean european one (900-1800 MHz). Or at least the PDA part of it? And yet haven't found quiet an exact explanation of "SD method" - any suggestions? Thanx a lot!
Bootloader v.5.17 locked
BL v.5.17 + TMO ROM. I am not able to downgrade the bootloader or change ROM.
I've tried using:
Cooked ROM.EXE - No way
(Error: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Error getting connectiontype)
XDA OS Image Tool - No way
(Error: Same as above)
ITSTools - pnewbootloader - No way
(Error: Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect)
SD Method - No way
In bootloader mode (soft-reset while pressing on/off button), I have no options: Even with an SD card with OS image inside, there's no way to start ROM download as there is no option to choose...
Any idea?
Thx
Check this thread
Thanks Biso007.
No way. My XDA doesn't load the bootloader in a proper way:
1. Inserted th SD card in his slot
2. Answered "No" to format the card
3. Soft-reset while pressing on/off button (so to enter in bootloader mode)
4. Display turns off
5. No Wallaby Bootloader screen, so no action to take...
6. Wait... Nothing.
7. I've also tried to press the "Action" button so to start the SD downloading... Nothing
8. Wait... Nothing.
6. It needs another soft-reset to exit this state (a not working bootloader mode, I suppose)
7. It turns on "normally".
Any further idea? :-(
Thanks
if I'm not wrong, I couldn't see that you ran the 5.17 patch first ... without it your device will never detect the SD file ... chech the thread again

Unlock SIM (Pocket PC Phone Edition)

Hey Guys,
My friend gave me a pocket pc with phone edition. When I tried to insert my sim card it asked me to the unlock code. My friend used this mobile for T-Mobile sim card in US.
Here is the ROM Versino: 4.01.16 ENG
ROM Date: 02/04/04
Radio Version: 6.25.02
Protocol Version: 324e4
After typing my PIN code it asks me to unlok the sim.
What can I do to resolve this problem
Thanks,
bm_t
Try the XDA unlock tool. You can find it on the website.
I have unlocked tmobile using that tool. However if it gives you problems unlocking.... I would suggest installing the xda rom and then try.
I am going to unlock a new Tmobile on tuesday. If this does not work you can get in touch with me on any chat and I will walk you through the process.
lemme know if you need anymore help.
Cheers!
Diki :lol:
Thanks Diki for your reply.
I have tried XDA Unlock and XDA2Unlock but failed.
When I tried XDA2Unlock it reports some error like COM2 0X..... (Hex #)
You have seen my ROM version and Radio version. How do i install new xda rom .
I only have the USB cable. Do I need a serial cable?
thanks
As much as i know, it will not work for you to unlock your device.
xda2unlock is only for the second Version of XDA (MDA II, MDA II,...), so you have to use the xdaunlock tool.
there are several postingsa, that unlocking will fail with your radioversion.
Maybe they have changed the code in this version.
There is a guy (cgigate) that promise he is able to repair and unlock all devices, but personal i don't believe this.
i believe changing ROM will not change anything. But you can try it. Look for the XDA deelopsers special ROM 1.2 or use the 3.17.03 ROM and the unlock tool.
But flashing a device could be dangerous.
Changing the radioversion is also possible, but the risc to end ata paperweight is very high...

Cooking process works well for me.
Maybe you have to wait a few minutes more.
Cooking process can be up until 5 minutes.....
Otherwise try again the Build Rom now button....

Hello LumpiStefan,
I have tried serveral times but I couldn't able to download the ROM.
Do I have to register or download some other application to download your ROM.
Here is what I did to download the ROM
After Entering ur site LumpiStefan, http://lumpistefan.dynsdns.org
I clicked PPC 2002 and select 3.17.03 with XDA developers (Default ).
and clicked 'Build Rom Now' button.
When I clicked 'Build Rom Now' button, the only thing that changes is the graphs (right hand side of the page). I have tried many times but only the graphs changes.
Did I miss something (some procedures or .....)
thank you for ur time
After clicking cook rom you should have the option to specify where to download it.
Hello,
I have 128 kbps line but couldn't able to download the rom for the site.
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
It doesn't respond the site except changing the cpu ... graphs
Is there any other site to download 3.17.03 Rom for XDA-I.
thanks

You can try http://xda.weblink.net or use http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe to download the xda developers ROM based on 3.17.03 including the unlock tool....
I think you're the first guy that has problem to download a rom from the kitchen.
What for browser are you using? Have you ever tried another ROM?

Stefan
Hi LumpiStefan,
Thanks for ur reply.
I have checked both sites (i.e http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ and http://xda.weblink.net)
I have tried also another rom but the same problme. I have tried to download the rom from Linux and win XP pc.
I have aslo downloaded http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
but when I executed this file from my win XP machine ( I have connected my XDA through USB cable and installed ActiveSync 3.7.1) it reports error (something like Unable to find the XDA Please connect Serial/USB cable)
I'm really really stuck with this phone
thanks
it seems that you don't followed the correct procedure.
This link it's a wizard and could help you: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz
Hello Folks,
I have seen a post in form.xda-develpers.com that this file http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
will not work because my phone (i.e PC2003) (the adaptROM is not compatible with PC2003)
He said the only option to Unlock the SIM is only using this xdarit.exe application. Since my SD is 8 MB, I can't load the ROM with this space.
As far as I have seen the situation, my only option is getting the serial cable.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Get the serial cable.
SIM Lock
Hi,
Every time I run "XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe" I get a message, error getting data, and then the program close.
plz advise. thanks
'error getting data'
I had the same error. I read somewhere on one of these posts that
there was some capatibility between Programme A.exe and Activesync 3.7.1.
Apparently you could downgrade your activesync version or use XDATools to push the nk.nbf file down to an SD card and flash from there. Use winzip or something else to extract all the files in the SER installation exec. In the English folder you'll find the NBF file to use.
In XDATools put this as the Source, target is the SD card in the device. Go to bootloader utilities (power+soft reset and maybe press contacts) and depending on your bootloader version it may detect you have a flash image on your SD card. Follow the instructions on the pda to flash the rom.
Hi rhodwyn,
Thank you for your support, but still I cannot downgrade my "BootLoader" to "5.15" with every boot I'm geeting "5.22" even after loading the spocial edition ROM.
Also, I cannot find (XDArit & Wallaby bootloader version 5.15 files) in the neet.
Please advice.
Thanks.
Hi ALL,
I did unlock (SIM LOCK) my phon.
Thanks you all for help & support.

problem magician

I am new of the forum, I have just purchased a nm8 used magiacian (t-mobile MDA) it is I bring a problem.
The preceding owner has begun an updating of the rom that has not gone to good end and the device doesn't now set out anymore and from the following error:
USB V1.00 (if connected USB).
Serial V1.00 (if disconnected).
Bootloader mode ?
What must I do for going on?
I hope in a help
Best regards Luca
help
I pray you helped me, the first post is from beginners, but believe I have followed the standard procedure.
unloaded the rom
unloaded no-id
always tried upgrade more times failure.
HELP !
for the beginning you should use a standard ROM to get familiar with the device.
just go to the t-mobile website, downloads, chose your device type and then look for files named softwareupdates or so.
they will be in zip-format.
there will be an application in there. just go into bootloadermode, connect your device and start the upgrade. it's completely guided and will last about 20min.
although most of the ppl that read/write in this forum didn't install the eROM, I think you can start with all the cusomization stuff. If you have become more familiar with your mdac, you can try other modified ROM's.
just ask if you have more questions
greetz Stefan
i have to say that using standard rom (jam rom downloaded from club imate)
the upgrading applications hangs.....
and leave magician in booting mode, ready to be erased....
i was desperaded, but last experiences with motorola phones and its firmwares advice me to try again
so i had to launch againg that apps and it starts erasing actual rom....
i think there is a bug in few roms.... may be only in its installer
Have tried with the T-mobile rom but doesn't even go with that!
Caslu,
Have you tried a hard-reset?
If so: I guess you've got a decent TMO magician rom downloaded. So get maupgradeut_noid.exe from the ftp. Extract all the files from your TMO shipped-rom & put them in a directory, so you get some .nbf files, enterbl.exe & maupgradeut.exe. Now put the maupgradeut_noid.exe in the same directory. Connect your magician to the usb. It should read usb v1.00, if your magician isn't in bootloader press camera&power&soft-reset at the same time for a few secs. till you get the usb or serial reading.
After connecting it to the usb execute the maupgradeut_noid.exe twice, first execute might give an error 120 second should finish.
If this fails make sure you got a magician & not a charmer.
If it's a magician return it, cause I think it's broken. Hey why buy a device that's in an inconclusive state??
Regards, M
I think really that It broken.
Have picked it because little cost!
non one reply .......

Download the latest shipped ROM for the country your magician was first sold in.
Ensure Activesync is in the normal mode (USB check is ON).
Run the executable ROM update program.

Error 260 on SVP M3100 HERM100

Hi, I hope someone out there can shed some light onto this problem. This is what I have: Orange SVP M3100; Operator: 14.123.1.614; ROM Ver.: 1.23.61.4; ROM Date: 07/13/06; Radio Ver.: 1.06.00.00; Protocol Ver.: 32.37.7010.01H.
I've downloaded and successfully (I think) flashed Hard-SPL-V7.
Bootloader used to read: HERM100; IPL-1.01; SPL-1.04.
Bootloader now reads: HERM100; IPL-1.04; HERM100; SPL-210.Olipro.
The phone still works and syncs. properly, but when I try running SPV_M3100ROMUpdate_0407, it eventually returns Error 260 (Update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.) This happens in Vista Ultimate and in XP Pro.
The program will go as fare as identifying the current image as Ver.: 1.23.61.4 and suggests to replace it with image Ver.: 2.11.61.1 however, when I click on OK, it puts the phone into Bootloader mode, disconnects the USB connection and unable to reconnect again. After this I have to do a soft reset and everything goes back to normal.
I'd very much appreciate any ideas to help me get around this conundrum. Many thanks.
put device into bootloader and try flashing from there, otherwise try sd card
OK, I could not flash from Bootloader either; same error message.
Extracted the SVP_M3100ROMUpdate_0407.exe onto the SD card.
Ended up with the following files: EnterBL.exe; GetDeviceData.exe; README.doc; ROMUpdateUt.exe; RUU.dll; RUUUI.dll; RUU_signed.nbh.
None of the above files will run on the PDA. What do I do next? Sorry for being such a novice and thanks again.

Correct, the files are not run from the device.
The hermes wiki has the directions for flashing from an SD card, go check it out.
Thanks for that jdc. I found the information you have suggested and here is what I did so fare:
-Formatted the SD card.
-Renamed the ROM image file to HERMING.nbh
-Inserted the SD card with the renamed image file into the phone.
-Restarted the phone and confirmed that it was reading from the card.
-Put the phone into Bootloader mode by pressing PWR+OK+Reset.
The multi-colour Bootloader screen comes up and nothing else happens. I'd tried pressing the PWR button just in case, but it had no effect.
Any more ideas? THANKS!
SPV m3100 upgrade - error 260 - connection drops when allowing enterBL.exe to run on
Hi - am going through the same process to upgrade my SPV m3100.
I've followed Mr Vanx's guides to the letter - ROM update from 1.23.61.4 to Hard-SPL-2.1 - as soon as i click 'yes' on the phone to allow enter.BL.exe to run - the connection between phone and laptop immediately drops.
I've tried using different USB ports as suggested in different threads = but to no avail
Am running Vista Home Premium.
I'm a novice so sorry for sounding stupid - any help would be really appreciated.
I had the same error until I disabled the phone lock. Worked ok after that
I had this problem for awhile, and I'm using Vista. I can't remember the problem to explain it, but I did one of 3 things to fix it.
1. Follow Mr Vanx's Vista Guide. The most important part is downloading his attached drivers and getting Vista to detect your phone as an "HTC USB Device" or "HTC USB Sync" or something like that.
2. Then I would recommend installing the official ATT Rom, you can download it off of HTC's website.
3. Install Schaps Advanced Config cab, and disable "security warnings"
After this done, you should be able to install a cooked rom from here.

[Blue Angel] Upgrade "Connection Error"

Hey Folks,
i have problem while upgrading. I have a Blue Angle flahed last year to WinMo 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20262 (Build 19949.1.2.0Black). I don't remember the release. But now i have i big problem. I cant upgrade to any newer or lower version.
I tried:
- Format Storage
- Hive Registry
- Disabeled und enabled Active Sync
- With/without Bootloader Mode
- three different RUU.dll
Everytime i try to upgrade (not in bootloader mode) i fetches rom version and proceed. But after 20sec it say connection error. In bootloader mode i doesn't fetch version and same message after 20 sec. Both tried with or without AS and on two different Computers und XP SP3.
Any help?
Sincerly - firstabalon
hi,
since you tried so much stuff before and seem to know your way around the device and the general upgrading process and i have hardly anything to suggest to go on trying. probably the only thing left to try is take another blueangel with either one of your pcs.
another thing is, i uploaded my ruu, which has always worked for me and everybody else who tried it.
i hope this helps, but i will keep on thinking and maybe i can still come up with more ideas.
chef tony...
i dont get it...
i dont know how to use this...
sorry...
i'm new in using the BA...
try and read this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardMain
step by step instructions how to upgrade with everything there is to do and all the files you need. even if you don't get what you are doing, by following it precisely you will get your device flashed.
thanks chef tony...
i'll try doing that later...
i really like the senior members here...you guys are so helpful...keep up the good work...you're the guide here...

Couple of things to try out would be to switch USB ports, try a different cradle (if you can get your hands on one), or try using mtty.
