Hello all, did all the correct things by saving to SD card using mtty etc. Experimented with assorted roms then low and behold went back to re installing orignial backup from SD, by the pda doesn't 'see' the backup. Any clues on this one?? Failing all suggestions, is there an actual o2 Asia ROM 1.11.923 complete out there that I could download?
Well for some totally unknown reason, the Sd restore worked. This was after several attempts of writing a modified version rom, re writing the 416b header, renaming the rom and writing back to the sd card and so forth....then...re- wrote the original backup rom file to sd card and to my astonishment it worked. It would still be good to have the actual 1.11.923 O2 setup rom on this site.

My PC's activesync crashed and hanged while flashing the ROM. Now the xda is stuck with Updating screen.
Can someone please tell me which file to download from Jeff's kitchen (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf or anything else) and how to write it to SD card for flashing.
I tried to write nb1 and nbf both, using xda-tools, but it is not copied in the format required by the bootloader. In fact, in either case it is copied as a file which is not identified by the bootloader (my version is 5.15). boootloader starts with GSM OK message, and does not give me option to flash the ROM.
Can someone please please tell me how to do it?
you need SD card writer or a SD backup from another XDA.

Thanks.
I was about to go to the service centre for rom image from another xda, but I decided to give it a try using usb cradle, and ran the original upgrade program. It came out with error and asked me to soft reset the device and try again, which I did, and it worked. I now have a working xda!
Hi everybody,
after trashing one SX56 when trying to upgrade using the ATT provided .exe file (from Siemens), I am thinking of upgrading my replacement SX56 with only the PDA part using the NK.NBF after unzipping. But before I start, I wanted to make sure that I have a guaranteed fail-back with bootloading the 2002 image using the SD card if anything goes wrong.
Has anybody done this successfully?
FYI: My first attempt results in either a white screen when going back to 2002, or a working WM2003 with no radio stack. Running RSUpgrade fails after 1% and asks for reboot, fails after 1% ...
Thanks in advance!

If you do an sd card backup through the bootloader on your xda you can always go back, remember though that the sd card will then be in a special format, any further writes to the card by saving files etc will render the backup useless.
Hi there,
I have searched for this problem and found various suggestions involving xdarit etc but none seem to help.
I am getting the above message following a ROM flash, using sd card writen with xdarit. I have tried 3 different roms all producing the same result. Originally tried flashing with a w2003 rom but would be grateful to get anything working!!
The xda will now only show bootloader and some checks.
Wallaby bootloader 5.15
Anyone able to help?
Kind regards
Have you tried another SD-Card? MAybe there is a problem...
Flashed my device about 50 times, and had sometimes (about 2 or 3 times) the same problem.
Reflashing worked then fine...
Stefan
Thanks
I have tried anther sd card with the same result.
FYI I am formating sd cards FAT before writing rom to them
Could I be using the wrong rom?
Kind regards
maybe a corrupt file sometimes files taken from the internet gets damaged on their way to you

Hi
I have just downloaded a new rom and written to sd with xdarit, flashed and received following message again.
"CHECKSUM is not correct"
Could this have anything to do with the formatting of the sd card?
Anyone have any more suggestions
Kind regards
should not as far as i know iso tool should give the sdcard it's own format which only the xda can read
and of cause the sd card have to be 64MB or over a 32MB card will not do
Hi
I am using 64Mb SD cards.
Just failed again, here's what I did.
Downloaded ROM, copied it to SD with axdrit, message "xdarit successfully copied image of 65026 blocks.
Inserted card into xda, got :-
Wallaby Bootloader v5.15 GSM OK screen then:-
SD Download
Card Type:
CE OS
Press Action to Download or REC to Exit.
Pressed action and got:-
Please wait for download
PRG 00000000
END 02000000
"Flash Writing"
Followed by :-
Download completed
CheskSum is not correct
COLD BOOT TO RESET
What is going wrong?
is that a problem? i remember getting the checksum is not correct problem as well in the end. but after cold reset, the device worked fine. or so it seems to. should i be worried?
Q: What is a checksum?
Q: Is it related to a failing battery?
I have used both XDAtools and XDArit to write my SD card and have tried several
ROMs from stefan's kitchen. but after downloading it would tell me that the checksum is not correct. Kindly help.
Solved the problem myself!
I looked for someone who has an xda1, asked if he could backup a copy of his OS installed in his xda. Got him to answer yes, and gave him my SD card for him to backup. Placed SD card in my xda, installed OS, cold reboot, and it works fine. Thanks to all.

Hi everyone,
am deperately needing your advice!!!
Just yesterday I rechieved an exchange mdac from tmobile showing serial version v1.02 when put in bootloader mode(previously v1.01).
When trying to flash whatever rom once transferred via ntrw to my sd card, my mdac does simply nothing but stay in bootloader showing serial v1.02. No flashing like in my old one starts.
On removing the sd card it comes out freshly formatted, before it definately was formatted with raw as usual once working with ntrw.
Result : I can not upgrade my system to mksbigstorage or any other rom like i could with my" old one". (same sd card!!!)
Tried downgrading to an older rom version via original upgrade routine and from there flashing via sd card: same problem!, tried other sd card: no solution either!
Any ideas, solutions, people with the same problems?
:?:
Appreciate your help
Thanx
romflashing
Seems to have nothing to do with flashing routine.
Card simply gets formatted once inserted.
Any way to stop this?
Hi! I have had many problems after flashing and re-flashing my rom.
Try boot loader mode and USB then execute (from your PC)MaupgradeUT_noid with a Shipped_rom on XDA ftp. It may work.
Have a look at this link: http://www.mtekk.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?p=32876

Try to write SD card with winhex not ntrw. Simply choose open disc feature and write file directly do SD it works every time for me (with ntrw it was roulette). I have 1.02 bootloader
Thanks Shamus but can you explain in details how do you do this with Winhex? my bootloader is 1.00
