Hi,
I have a TMobile pocket pc, Rom version: 3.08.10 and Radio Version: 6.02, I want to upgrade it to WM2003, the problem is that I don't have a tmobile phone number, I saved my ROM on a sd card with the Wallaby Bootloader, I downloaded the "XDA OS Image Tool", could I put the "T-mobile ROM Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade 4.00.21" from Yorch and if it doesn't work just reload the old version with Wallaby?
Could I cook a Rom in the Kitchen and install it or I need PHP support?
Thanks
Yes to all, also you'll need to upgrade your radio stack to get the always on GPRS.
BTW where are you located?
HTH
How do I upgrade my radio? I'm in NY but I need the phone also in Europe.
when you said yes you mean also for the kitchen I need PHP support, does that mean a server like Apache installed on my computer?
btw in Wallaby I saved with the first option to the Sd, I think it was CE ROM TO SD, is that ok or I need to do something else?

Yes on the kitchen!
The best way to upgrade the radio stack is to copy the needed files to
your devices Windows folder and install it from there. If you send me a PM with your email address I'll send you the needed files.
You lost me on the needing PHP support, why do you need that?
HTH
what are all these instructions at http://xda-developers.com/ROMkitchen/, is it for someone that wants to run the kitchen on his computer?
should I use the kitchen version .16 or it's more secure the .21 from yorch with XDA OS Image Tool?

Yes those instructions are for setting up your own kitchen.
I'd go with .21 cause thats what I'm using.
BTW you can also get ROM version 4.0021 from http://www.yorch.net
under Software.
HTH
I have the 4.00.21 version from Yorch my last question is what I need to select in Wallaby?
1. CE ROM TO SD
2. BOOT TO SD
3. CE+BOOT TO SD
4. GSM ROM TO SD (I guess not)
5. CE + GSM TO SD (also probably not)
Thanks...
Pick door number three and make sure that you have loaded onto the sd card only the nbf file from Yorch's site.

you got my a little confused... I thought of backing up to the sd the actual rom and then writing the nbf file to the device, but now you said to load the nbf file to the sd... could please explain...Thanks
Okay, get the os toolset, an sd card reader/writer, an sd card of at least 64mb and do the following:
-install the os toolset
-put device in cradle
-run ostoolset and backup your ROM to your hard drive. Name it something like ppc2002-10-13-03 or something similar. This will backup your ROM only, not any installed programs
-remove your device
-insert the sd card into the reader/writer
-open os toolset again and select the new rom you downloaded from the internet
-select the sd card as the installation drive
-once its done copying put the sd card into your device
-run the wallaby bootloader and have it install the os to your device.
-hard reset when done as directed and BINGO
*** I will point out that it seems you have not read very many of the posts here. DO THIS BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THE ABOVE ***
I'm actually going through this forum for a week till I decided to ask, since nobody wrote clearly how to do it, Thanks!
Now since I don't have a sd card reader, before I get it, is it possible to upgrade directly without having to do it with the sd card?
Another question, with which extension do I save the backup of my ROM, nb1, img, bin.
Thanks again
what's the difference if I copy the .nbf file to the SD reader or if I just copy it to the sd through the device?
Once again, please read the posts. You can't copy the file to the sd card while in the device for it will only copy the file as a file instead of copying it as a bootable interface. If you don't understand this then you should definitely read more posts. No offense.
You can, if you wish, just us the OS toolset to overwrite your device ROM with any ROM you choose. Just go to the ROM TOOLSET forum to download and follow the instructions there. It is very easy but be careful. I just believe in the aforementioned method for it forces you to take steps to prevent a total loss. I wish you the best of luck.
Oh, if you really want to update your ROM, etc., invest in a card reader. It'll cost you less than $30 which is less than 6% of what you paid for your device most likely.
No matter what you do make a backup of your current ROM!
valheru, thank you very much for taking your time, belive me that I really read allot of posts, if you could direct me in a thread that speaks about this I'll be very happy instead of using your time!
Now I just copied the nbf file to the sd card with OSImage Tool, and when I went in Wallaby it gave me the option to upgrade the ROM, is that ok? or I still need a sd reader,
Thanks again for all your help!
That sounds alright but make sure you make a backup of your current ROM first!
Great!!! It works, now one last question the Radio Version is 6.02, Qman what version did you send me and how do I upgrade?
ok here are the istructions to upgrade to ROM 4.00.21 for a TMobile Pocket Pc Phone Edition.
You just need a sd card of at least 64MB (maybe 32Mb will also work).
Download the OSImage Tool from http://www.xda-developers.com/XDAtools/ and install it.
Download the Upgrade to 4.00.21 from Yorch.net http://www.yorch.net/downloads/ROMS/T-mobileROM40021.rar.
-put device in cradle
-run osImage Tool and backup your ROM to your hard drive. Name it something like ppc2002-10-13-03 or something similar. This will backup your ROM only, not any installed programs
-open osImage Tool again and select the new rom you downloaded from the internet
-select the sd card as the installation drive
-run the wallaby bootloader and have it install the os to your device.
-hard reset when done as directed and BINGO

Its radio stack 6.24.
To upgrade just unzip then copy the four files to your devices Windows folder then run RSUpgrade.exe from there.
hi,
well i tried to upgrade my xda1 to windows 2003,
here is the description of the problem i m facing....
i used xda tools(osimage tool) to transfer nk.nbf file to my sd card-> go into bootloader(wallaby bootloader 5.17)
->says gsm ok and starts taking test(like tap test, recording test, sd card test etc) which it should not...
and is not loading the os software. (getting stuck in one of the test like sd card test)
well following things i tried:
1. transfered nk.nbf file, tried both from siemens site as well as from yorche.net site--->both giving same problem.------->using xdatools.
2. tried loading the sd ,tried both destinations -->xda slot and as well as the card reader.
3. using drop down only to choose the destination.
4. also after loading sd the current rom asks to format (which means sd is loaded properly)
5. initially it was not loading the bootloader then i fixed it using xda tools , after that i started getting wallaby bootloader 5.17
6. now after going to bootloader it starts taking various test and shows no sign of loading the new os.
--------------
now i have moved as per the instruction and tried everything mentioned above to install wk3 but all in vain....
dont know where the problem seems to lie....
need suggestions desperately...
--------------
current rom:3.17.03
stack:4.21
--------------
current rom working ok.
--------------
maybe it's a problem with the nbf file content ... did u try burning the nbf file directly to the ROM using the XDAtools ?
You arent hitting any other button when entering bootloader are you? Just press the stylus in reset while holding power, it shouldnt go into test mode unless another button is pushed, maybe you have a button stuck or something.
any more suggestions............
well if burning means choosing source to nk.nbf and destination to drop down
to sd card using xda tools then yes i did burning....
also i m sure no other buttons are pressed or thing like that....
any more suggestions............
I meant by burning to make the destination to be the XDA flash ROM
any more..
ya i tried burning to.,...
same problem.
can your sdcard reader read whats on the sdcard (it's not suppose to be able to read after it's been flashed with the rom)
also are you 100% sure that your nbf file is valid ? maybe it's broken
more suggestions ....
well after loading sd card , i cant browse to read it, moreover xda asks to format, which is the sign that card is loaded ok.
secondly i have tried nk.nbf file from siemens as well as yorche.net,
both should not give same problem, which it is.
this mention the 5.17 bootloader you should read it

The best way that I've found is to find somebody with a XDA that has the 5.15 bootloader then do a CE+BOOT TO SD then do a SD restore.
Sounds like a good project for some of the ROM Kitchen owners doesn't! :wink:
I have a siemens sx56 with AT&T. I was trying to upgrade the ROM version to unlock it. Using XDA developer software and during this process, somehow the connection between the computer and the phone stopped (active Sync). Now the phone is not responding and the screen still displaying the upgrading process. I tried to reconnect but the Active sync does not recognize the devise. I read in this forum that you can solve this problem by using SD card with a good ROM version. Here is what I did. I copied the NK.nbf to the SD card using my computer SD read/write slot. I inserted the SD card in the phone and did the boot loader mode. What I got is "Wallaby boot loader v5.22 GSM OK" that set. Does the phone will automatically ask to press action to start flashing or I have to press a certain key. I tryed all the keys but they give me different tests that they work fine. So far I am not able to find the key that will install the the cooked rom. After that, when I tried to use the SD card in the computer, it did not recognize the card and ask me to format the SD card. I tried the fat and the fat 32 format and download NK.nb1 and/or NK.nbf and again I got the samething. Do I need to down load the ROM file using the XDAtool or just copying the file from the computer to sd directory will do it. I would really appreciate it if someone points out the best way of handling this problem (i.e. get the phone to work with the appropriate ROM and unlocking it) thanks.

Bro, you shouldn't change the Sd fat you erased what's written on it anyway your unit is still on the safe side and you can bring it to normal.
First of all downgrade your bootloader to 5.15 >>>

Hi,
I also have exactly the same problem with my Siemens SX56 as those of Seif's. My Wallaby's boot loader version is 5.22. Ramram said that the first thing to do is to downgrage bootloader. But I couldn't understand how to downgrade the bootloader because I do not have a copy of old bootloader. Should I use 'OSImageTools' or 'XDArit' to write backed up CE image to SD card?
Seif, how did you solve your problem?
Best Regards

You need XDArit to write the rom to your SD read the past post on how to copy rom to your SD which is the safest way of installing the rom into the device, by using XDAtools press on FIX BROKEN BOOTLOADER this will downgrade you bootloader to 5.15 don't forget to connect your unit to the cradle when you want to downgrade.
I recommend 1rst of all to make a quick search in threads to be totaly ready for this
this would help :

Good Luck now.
Update : How to fix failure during upgrading ROM
The problem was solved. Here is what I did. I copied the NK.nbf file to the SD card using the XDAtools. It seems that the XDAtools uses special format for the bootloader that well recognize the ROM file on the SD card. Rafia your bootloader (v5.22) is fine you do not need to downgrade it.
You should follow this procedure:
1. Install ActiveSync that comes with the device.
2. download XDAtools from this site and install it in your computer.
3. Cook the ROM ( or get it by extracting the zip file from the XDA developers special edition ROM.)
4. Use the XDAtools to copy the cooked NK.nbf file from your computer to the directory of the SD card
5. Insert the SD card in the dead device and go to the bootloader mode (soft reset while pressing power key). Make sure it has more than 80% battery before starting.
6. If it is still working and the bootloader ver. is older than 6.22, it will ask you to press action to start flasing.
7. Once finished, remove the SD card and hard reset, wait 60 sec and hard reset again.
Good Luck and special thanks to Biso for his help.

Thanks a MILLION for this info. I'm in the same boat, with bootloader 5.22. One question though, when I'm in bootloader mode, which option do I choose from the menu to transfer the ROM to my device from the SD card? Will there be something automatically coming up? Or will I use one of the options listed below:
1. CE ROM TO SD
2. BOOT TO SD
3. CE + BOOT TO SD
4. GSM ROM TO SD
5. CE + GSM TO SD
By the way, so I never do anything to ruin my device again, can someone please explain what each option does?? I really don't have a clue.
as you can read from the menu you type in all these options are to the SD card
and they are to backup i suppose
rom upgrading should start automatic when a sd card with valid rom is in the sdport
and you are in the bootloader
maybe it ask you i forget but it's not something you have to find browsing
the menu's

Thanks for answering my question. Now I simply need to find a really good ROM to use to load back onto my device. What I would like to do is end up with Windows Mobile 2003, but the device is locked at the moment.
Can someone recommend a ROM for me to load onto the device so that I can then unlock it and THEN upgrade to 2003? Or is there a 2003 ROM out there that will also unlock? Originally, I ended up in this predicament by upgrading to the 2003 upgrade from Rogers AT&T, but that locked the device on me. I then tried to use a cooked 2003 ROM, and that's where I am now, without a useable device.
Thanks for all replies!

Thanks, Ramram. I'm sure I'll have more success this time, but it's just odd that I went from a 2002 ROM, which was unlocked, to the Rogers 2003 ROM, and the phone was locked after that.
I guess I should stay away from that Rogers ROM then?

Why to worry about the Rogers Rom you know now a way to unlock your phone.
I assume the Rogers rom is based like the At&t rom which it has the sound clipping bug , so I'd rather say that you could cook a T-mobile rom 4.01.16 WM2003 and try it it does not have the sound clipping bug..
I try to upgrade my wm2002 to wm2003 and halt half way. After the hard reset, the screen still show the upgrading screen.
Please guide me to flash my xda with the SD card in the bootloader v6.22 environment.
Should work the same way:

Hi LumpiStefan,
Sorry for my stupidity, i really been trying for the past weeks to solve the problem.
I have downloaded the XDATools into my PC and cook a Rom image of wm2003 with Asia configuration nk.nb1.
I have also imaged it into my 256M SD card using the XDATools.
I do a hardreset after placing the SD card into my XDA and got the wallaby bootloader v6.22 with GSM OK. I have to push the 3rd active button into to see the flash tools page. But it only display cd rom to sd, boot to sd, cd+boot to sd and gsm rom to sd.
What should I do next?
Thanks a nillion
Looks like the Bootloader didn´t notice the new ROM on your SD-Card.
Either you have problems copying the ROM to your SD-Card (Do you use an internal Card Reader) or they have changed something in the bootloader...
Try doing a backup of your ROM via Bootloader (ROM to SD) and reenter bootloader. If you get the option to flash your device you have a problem writing the ROM to the SD-Card. Otherwise it´s an issue with the bootloader...
Stefan
Yes, I do used a intergrated SD card reader to write the ROM to SD.
I can't backup my ROM to SD. Each time I try, it said Card Key Invaild...???
If it is the bootloader having the problem, how...????
2 steps in Upgrading ...
At first you have to downgrade your boot loader from 6.22 to 6.15 or so. Bootloader 6.22 will not allow flashing your device, unless you are equipped with the proper sd key. The way to do it is using the XDArit (I had problems with the new version in which protection of your hard drive has been implemented. You should write an SD with the wallabypatch (look at the FTP for the NB file..). a tip is when writing the sd with this patch, check the box of diagnostic). Than flash your device.. and you have to be quick and follow the instruction carefully... it will allow you to run diagnostic... which enable to flash the device. In summary for this section look for the wallabypatch instruction.
2. after you manage to write bootloader 6.15 , it will enable you to flsh you device with the new SD (written by XDArit ).
Good luck.
Dear kind Sir,
Is there any way you can show me how to downgrade the bootloader from v6.22 to 6.15?????
Can guide me through step by step.......Sorry.......

Stuck in bootup
Guys,
I believe I have the same problem as the last post. I have several XDA's and one boots up to the "Welcome to TMobile" screen with bootloader 6.22, G324e4, R6.25.02, 4.01.16.
This is a Tmobile release with no ROM modification. I used a second XDA to start the bootloader and dump the ROM to an SD card and I then used this SD card to flash the ROM to the frozen device.
It did nothing, it is sill stuck on the boot up 'tmobile' screen. Any ideas?
Thanks Paul.
Try installing a PPC2002 ROM and if the device works normal downgrade the bootloader.
Maybe this is an issue of the bootloader 6.22
Stefan
LumpiStephan,
The two devices I have, one working one frozen, is stock from the factory, no modification of any kind, both have 6.22 bootloaders. All the self tests work fine, GSM, memory, everything is fine.
I have no idea of what it is waiting for.
Thanks,
Paul.
Thanks alot
I think this topic must be static at the top of the forum. You are great....
I have a Wallaby (Qtek 1010) I flashed it a couple of times with USB cable and the rom.exe files you get from LumpiStefans romkitchen. The last time when I tried to flash it with windows 2K3 SE it locked during the flashing and the only thing that happens when I try to turn it on now, I get a distorted picture of the progress bar. When I boot in to the bootloader i get the v5.17 screen.
I have tried using XDArit to write a nb1 file to my SD card but i get a "Failed to open device \\.\PhysicalDrive5" error.
I also have XDA tools but I am not sure how I bypass the bootloader with that application....
please help
PS XDA tools works fine, but as mentioned, I can only write nb1 or nbf files to the SD card not nb0 which as far as I can understand is the bootloader bypasser...
Normally writing ROM is enough. You don't need to flash the bootloader if it isn't necessary. Try writing the ROM to SD-Card using XDAtools and install the ROM via Bootloader.....
Stefan
I have tried to write the ROM but nothing happens when I turn on the device. or that is the same thing happens as if there where noe SD-card in the slot.
I have tried several times now, no message about formatting the card when I stick it in, the reader recognizes the card, cause I can flash to the SD card.
Flashing XDA1
Bootloader 5.17 may be a problem.. it does not let you flash from an sd card. You will have to
1. downgrade the bootloader (tricky) and only than 2. write /flash your rom

This is long. Bear with me. I just did a cut n paste from a
txt file I recorded so I wouldn't forget how to do this again.

Before you start:
Suggest that you back up PIM data with ActiveSync. Copy any
other files you need to an
SD card or desktop/laptop computer. Try not to do a full
backup and restore that later
as it will usually mess up the XDA. Re-installing your apps is
the best way since PPC2002
and WM2003 are different.
Hardware that you need:
1. O2 XDA smartphone (obviously!)
2. Sync cradle
3. Internal/External SD card reader
4. Spare SD card (preferably 2)
Software you need to download:
1. Get cooked ROM or any other ROM. ROMkitchens at
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org
2. Get XDAtools from
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDAtools-Jeff.exe
3. Get bootloader fix tools from
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/download/bootloaderfix.zip
4. Get Wallaby patchloader fix from
http://xda-developers.com/~itsme/download/wbt-1.5.tar.gz
5. Get XDArit v1.2 tool from
http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/XDArit.exe
6. Get XDArit v1.0 tool from
http://givemebeer.com:8080/warez/XDA/xdarit.exe
7. Get Wallaby Patch file from
http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/wallaby-patch-tool.nb2

created in a safe place.
4. Next, select Source as the ROM file you downloaded or
cooked. Select Destination as

5. Follow on-screen instructions.
Method 2:
1. Extract wallabypatch-sd.nb2 from wbt-1.5.tar.gz in item 4.
2. Using XDArit v1.0, choose Write to SD card and tick
Diagnostics and select the file
wallabypatch-sd.nb2 and tick the header of 1k. Click OK to
write.

7. Press the battery button (near the earpiece connector) and
wait 30 seconds. Press
button again.
Your XDA should now boot to the new ROM.
Notes:
1. Software tested to work on Windows 2000. Reported to work
in XP as well. Windows 98
is problematic.
2. Good place to get OS ROMs and Radio Stack ROM
http://www.yorch.net/
3. When upgrading to WM2003 using the AT&T ROM 4.01.16, you
will not be able to re-flash
the ROM again using XDAtools. You will need to use the SD card
method.
To Do:
Changing bootloaders.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that ActiveSync doesnt recognize my device... :/ That rules out Method 1, and XDArit doesn't work on my SD card which eliminates method 2...

First of all, what for SD-Card Writer are you using? Most of the internal Writer are causing problems....
Second question: What happens when you try entering bootloader (Holding Power button and doing Soft Reset) with the SD-Card inserted? Do you get the normal bootloader screen ?
Stefan
I have used two differen SD card readers, one external USB and one which actually is a digital camera cradle.
When I start in bootloader mode I just get the normal screen, I have tried making the ROM and inserted the SD into another wallaby v5.15 and that went just fine, but when I insert it into the v5.17 I just get the normal bootscreen.
Use Old version
I attched the zip file.. however I do not remeber which of the diagnostics (the bootloader fix file) is working.. I suggest try both...
Good luck
flipped?
i have a problem. i found my father's xda in our storage room. when i try to turn it on. it's just freeze on the bootloader (o2 bootscreen), and the worst thing is the screen is flipped ( you have to hold it upside down and look it through the mirror to see it correctly)
i try to flash the rom. but the activeSync doesn't recognize my device, after that i try to flash it from the sd. but nothing happen.
PLEASE HELP ME!
