Hi All,
Maybe this is old hat, but is good to know.
I've seen these two programs on the internet made by HTC for the Ipaq:
1) mtty.exe = Multi-Port/USB TTY Version 1.10 2001 by HTC
2) host11.exe = Remote USB update 1.1
The first programme mtty.exe is a flashing utility made by HTC to flash the boot loader ( only *.bin files ) using the serial/USB cable for the Ipaq ( after a reboot using the Wallaby boot loader menu the Ipaq/XDA is connecting in the same way as using the Hyperterminal, spiting all the information about the hardware version and then looking for a *.bin file, containing the boot loader, if found it will start flashing the boot loader).
The second programme host11.exe is a flashing utility also made by HTC to flash the CE Rom only, via Usb, after a reboot using the Wallaby boot loader menu and pressing the “Volume button” on the left side of the XDA (sorry I don’t remember the button on the Ipaq ), will bring you the “Remote USB update 1.1” menu on the XDA as well on the Ipaq. If you have a file named “nk.nb0” located in the same directory with host11.exe, containing the CE Rom for the Ipaq ( probably it will do the same to the XDA) , it will start upgrading the CE Rom.
My question would be, if we can use these two programs to flash the XDA ( using the “wboot515.bin” file to flash the boot loader and “nk.nbf” – contained in Program A ver 3.17.03 CE Rom O2 UK, that we could edit with Ultraedit, cut the first two lines, save it and rename it “nk.nb0”, to flash the CE Rom ) as an alternative to the SD card flashing method ?
Please see down under a small procedure for the IPAQ.
I’ve got these info searching the Ipaq forums.

Download the host11.exe file from here:

I have the mtty.exe program if you can't find it on the internet.
A very good explanation about the Ipaq upgrade using mtty.exe and host11.exe, english document:

These are the links I've used for general info:

I find this part of the upgrade procedure for the Ipaq very interesting:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1- Check Pocket PC for Boot loader version number.
A) Establish a physical connection between your iPAQ and Desktop (Serial port). Use the "serial Auto-Sync Cable".
B) Open downloaded software folder. Execute the mtty.exe program on your desktop. Dialog box appears, select appropriate COM port settings. (i.e. COM1, COM2).
C) Press the speaker (game pad button) & reset button (Bottom right corner, you will need your stylus to get to the reset button.) at the same time.
D) Release the reset button, but ensure that you hold the speaker button until you see a parrot. On your desktop (Mtty.exe), you will see the following message being displayed:

HTC Integrated Re-Flash Utility for Strong ARM (Macaw) Version: 2.31
This version could be used for Parrot PPSH board to flash boot load
Built at: Mar 8 2001 13:40:39
Copyright (c) 1998-2000 High Tech Computer Corporation
CPU speed = 206 MHz
DRAM speed = 103 MHz
Main- no CF card
FW 0:4:38>
E) Note the Version Number. Since the Version number is 2.31 you will need to upgrade it to 2.43.
Step 2- Upgrade Boot loader Version.
A) Ensure that the mtty.exe & the file mboot241.bin are in the same folder or directory.
B) At the FW 0:4:38> prompt, type "l MBOOT241.bin" (Type as is, minding the case). A new boot loader will be flashed. This will enable one to flash the OS using the USB rather than serial. Since, flashing the OS by serial takes about 30 minutes to complete. The USB connection takes about 4 minutes. IMPORTANT!!!!! Don't remove the cables during this process. This process takes about 1min.
C) Due a cold reset of the device (Bottom right corner, you will need your stylus to get to the reset button).
D) You can check if the program was a success by repeating step 1 C and D. Note that the version number has changed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It looks that is posible to use the USB cable to flash the boot loader, not only the serial cable.
Again I am interested if these things are good for the XDA as well, of course using the right boot loader and CE ROM files, as mentioned before.

and where can I find the BIN file for example ("wallaby233busa_2s.bin"). Upgrading by USB is my only chance (broken SD card slot in MDA)
i have mistakenly installed a T-Mobile ROM on my O2 XDA n i want to switch back to the XDA Developers Special Edition ROM. For some reason the T-Mobile ROM doesnt let me use the setup they have. The SD Card method does not work for me since i do not have an external SD Card writer. Can i use mtty and host11 to do this? Where do i get the bin files that you mentioned?
thanx for your help
Hi Countster,
It's been a while since I was playing with my XDA.
The files I was talking "mtty" and "host11", you can find them on the Internet or post a message on the forum (I use to have them on an old PC in the office but I've lost them together with the bin ROM file), but I also never had to use the USB flash application, back then I was only preparing for the worst case, but my XDA never failed durring the upgrade.
But the best metod as far as I know is the one using an SD card (buy an external SD card reader from Ebay, it's only 15Euro max.)
I found this post on the net and these guys are having problems using the USB tool:
http://www.pdastreet.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=21433
http://goodhyun.com/archives/2004/08/how_to_dump_new.php
My advice is to use the XDA forum for info and the SD card metod, because as far as I can remember it was the best.
The cooked ROM file should be available somewhere, on the forum.
If you decide to use the host11.exe, you might have to delete (trim) the first two rows of the "rom.bin" file and rename it "nk.nb0" (you need to open the file with an "bin to hex editor" and then delete the two hex encoded rows).
In the case of the T-mobile/O2, the flash application they are using to flash the XDA it is checking, validating and then trim the rom.bin file, after this it will flash the XDA.
A very important thing to know is that it hasn't been confirmed that the "host11.exe" works with the XDA (it might work only with the IPaq).
Apparently it might work to download the file but it is also important at what address (hex address) in the XDA flash memory, the program starts to write the firmware (the bin file). The danger is to overwrite the bootloader or part of it ( the bootloader is like your PC Bios) and this will destroy your XDA , because it wont boot any more and it wont communicate on any port.
I hope that your XDA it is still booting and you haven't lost the boot loader ( it is the worst case ).
My final advice, don't use the host11.exe but instead use the SD metod.
Regards,
Mendo
hmmm seems dangerous.. either i have to RTFM or try to get the SD card writer. thanx for your help!
How to dump new rom image into ipaq using host11.exe
If your OS upgrade image came with UpgradeUT.exe, I mean if you tried to upgrade your ipaq and got the popup screen "HP ROM UPGRADE Utlity v3.15" then the .nbf files couldn't be inserted directly using host11.exe
Certainly, there is a situation you want to dump the rom image into iPaq in a straightforward manner, not guided by the fixed routine. in that case, you have to trim your file's unnecessary portion.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Delete these inversed part and rename it to nk.nb0,
then set your ipaq to the usb memory upgrade mode and run host11.exe.
don't forget to kill activesync when you do this.

For the XDA, the nk.nbf file should look like this, in the Ultraedit viewer (use Ultraedit to open the file and edit/save it):

Remove this bit "PW10A1-ENG-3.17-001-872---------" (the two hex lines too)
Then save the file and rename it "nk.nb0", then set your XDA to the "USB memory upgrade mode" (using the bootloader menu shortcuts) and run host11.exe.
Don't forget to kill activesync when you do this.
*************************************************************
Be carefull, this procedure can make your XDA useless, I've not done this myself on my XDA, this is info from the net.
Use this metod only if Programme A metod fails and don't use it to upgrade the radio stack.

Hi,
I have ipaq 3870. I upgraded to wm2003 using host11.exe and a rom image found in emule. But i had problems with certain software on it, so i decided to go back to 2002. I erased the 32 bytes from the beggining of the rom file, and used host11.exe.
My problems:
No asset tag and SN
No model information when trying to run official rom upgrade.
I have original backup, but i cannot flash it with official upgradeut.exe

um .... I seen the communicaiton for this problem in this site before.
edit the rom nk.nb0, offest 01ff000ah to be your asset number.
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50
Now what you need is file to upgrade to WM2003 (I don't know where to get now because hp thailand did not support to upgade or sell the upgrade file/Chan).
Upgrade file are compose of 3 files.
1. host11.exe - This program is to flash rom
2. nk.nb0 - rom data or firmware file
3. readme.txt - the method to flash rom
Then you need Hex Editor such as UltraEdit-32 (if you don't have one, try search google.com) to Edit nk.nb0.
UltraEdit-32 will show 3 parts,
First "0xxxxxxxh:" (shown the line and address of data)
Second in the middle is data in hex (on top there is ruler from 0 to f but if you can not see just go to set at menu at view > display ruler), then you can see at first line or address at 01ff0000h: = 31, 01ff0001h: = 00, 01ff0002h: = 2E, 01ff0003h: = 00, 01ff0004h: = 31, ....
Third is "ASCII CODE"
Picture 1 show Mark at Address 01ff000ah
Picture 2 show Mark at Address : 01ff0e00h
At this point that we have to change data in file nk.nb0, start from 01ff000ah: to 01ff0020h:
The original file "nk.nb0" show "ASCII CODE" in that position are "4.G.2.3.D.W.3.4.M.1.N.0". These numbers are Asset Tag # and Serial # that you have to use from your ipaq, can be found at the back at S/N.
Then Click at "ASCII CODE" in the position of Address that you want to change, this case have to click at number 4. Then key input the first digit of your ipaq S/N, then click at G and key input your second S/N until finish all number.
You also have to do the same thing at address 01ff0e00h to 01ff0e14h.
If complete correction all numbers, just save the file.
Next is to disable active sync, there are two method:
1. At Microsoft ActiveSync at PC, Click at File > Connection Settings... > "Unmark" (Click to uncheck) at CheckBox "Allow USB connection with this desktop computer" > OK.
or
2. End Process "wcescomm.exe", call "Windows Task Manager" by press three botton Ctrl, Alt, Del then at Tab "Processes" Click at "wcescomm.exe" then click at "End Process" botton.
Now at ipaq 38xx have to set in Mode "Remote USB Update"
Press botton 2 (Default : Contacts Button) and botton 4 (Default : iTask Button) and Power on botton then use stylus press at Reset (small hole at bottom of ipaq) wait until on the screen has message " Remote USB Update"
Put ipaq to usb cradle, and connect battery charger ac adapter for safty purpose.
Then Run "host11.exe"
(If the message "USB Lost connection" come out continuous, that means the connection has a problem, just take out ppc from cradle, retart your pc and reset PPC, then make PPC Mode to "Remote USB Update" then try runing file "host11.exe" again)
Start to update, now at 7 %
Nearly finish.
If there is no problem flash rom process will be finish as the message "Flash Done." at PC.
At PPC screen.
Then take out PPC from cradle and soft reset it. Now the screen of PPC will be pink color and Version of OS in the right bottom will be 4.00. Then wait for a while, everything will be as we just hard reset.
(in cause the screen in pink color wait too long, just do hard reset, vai presss at botton 1 (Default : Calendar Button) and botton 4 (Default : iTask Button) then use stylus press at reset, then wait till pink screen come again.)
Finally, you are now using WM2003 with your ipaq 38xx.
====================
If you use method 1 to disable usb of microsoft active sysnc.
You have to enable USB at Microsoft ActiveSync to sync all data back from PC to PPC.
- Connect PPC to USB Cradle
- Call Microsoft ActiveSync at PC
- Click ??? File > Connection Settings... > Click at botton Get Connected...
- Microsoft ActiveSync, check at CheckBox "Allow USB connection with this desktop computer"
- Then the program will ask for Set Partnership (I used default name as "Pocket_PC")
If you use method 2 of disable usb.
- Call Microsoft ActiveSync at PC
- Connect PPC to USB Cradle
- Click ??? File > Connection Settings... > Click at botton Get Connected...
- Microsoft ActiveSync, check at CheckBox "Allow USB connection with this desktop computer"
- Then the program will ask for Set Partnership (I used default name as "Pocket_PC")
====================
# Finally, you have ...
iPAQ 38xx "Old one" but "new OS" that change from PPC2002 to WM2003 (or Windows Mobile 2003) and Asset Tag # ??? Serial # are still the same as before.
To Check Asset Tag # and Serial #, at PPC Tap Start > Settings > System > Asset Viewer > Identity.
What you will fine new thing from PPC2002.
- Beautiful Bluetooth Icon.
- New Connections at Setting... may make you a little confusing.
- New bar of set volume.
- One more game, Jawbreaker (from only Solitaire).
- Faster Add/Remove Program.
- Overall are faster
====================
# Thanks to K. ImHoTep so much to suggest me many thing untill I can solve all problem.
# and thanks to K. pat2545 that guide me at first.
# and thank to all members that test and exchange experience in the forum.
(I have to thanks to K.Shine so much for contributing the detail method/howto, that make thing much more easier/Chan)

if all else fails downgrade to a 1.x rom on the ftp server, then run lokwiz.. then after it completes successfully then you can upgrade..
What tool do I use to downgrade to the older code? each of the RUU's that I try error out saying upgrade only.
I ran the aWiz tool and get the below error:

Doesnt this mean my CID is still locked?
Yes you're right, it's not unlocked. In my signature is a tried and true method.
Good luck!

yup i can vouch on it
Hi everyone,
It happened to me a lot of strange things. I tried to upgrade my herald with a rom from Tribulattifather . The first thing I've done is to install Hardspl. I connected my phone lauched the .exe and it gave me an error by 1%. My phone was freezed with a white screen. I waited a long time and shut it down. From this moment it won't restart and I can only access to the rgb menu:
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
When I try to re-install the hardspl or the installer recomended in this post it raised an ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL.
For information I haven't got a SD card and I've done all this by USB cable.
Can enyone tell my how to continue?
Thank you very much,
The Aslan

right it's not recognized, i tried that.... on my Dopod C800/Wing/Herald
is this what you did?
1. Plug the MicroSD card to any working windows mobile phone?
2. Sync the working WinMo to PC.
3. do the perl thing psdread, perl typhoonn, psdwrite, and done right?
4. Copy any RRU/MOD/.nbh ROM to the MicroSD and rename it to heraimg.nbh
5. This time what's inside the MicroSD is the heraimg.nbh only
you tried to boot it, ooohhhhh.. it's not working.. just the 3 color screen.
and this the alternative way to solve.
if you downloaded the heradiag.nbh
1. Remove the MicroSD and plug it to card reader, or to your other WinMO.
2. Copy the heradiag.nbh
3. now there are 2 files your heradiag.nbh and your heraimg.nbh
4. plug again your MicroSD to your brick herald/wing/C800.
5. do the bootloader thing
6. there you go, you will be in diagnose mode.
7. select the flash.
8. the rest is yours to understand.
and your done.
--------------
If you successfully unbrick the phone.
download the HardSPL from Tribulattifather.
http://rghost.net/download/1209299/...609840c3c0331d88971/HardSPL (Wing-Herald).zip
extract all files, and read the PDF file, do what exactly it says.
Thank you SmaRkieS for your answer.
I couldn't post a reply while I had no time this two last weeks.
What you said me didn't work. I bought a MicroSd card reader and created a goldcard with a french topic. Worked well but I've an error when he cheks the SD contents, blue bar, red message : Invalid certificate. I tried with revskills and other heraimg.nbh but it's always the same error.
Did you know already this problem? how can I go on?

Remove Hard SPL from bootloader
Hi,
Anyone out there knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader of Wing. Problem is my mobile displays splash screen, then switch offs by itself. Its been quite some time that I have hardspled it and have been using it. But recently I am facing this issue, so I am trying to move to original RUU and try if it works.
So for that anyone knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader, because I am only able to enter bootloader. Moreover I tried several original roms from Flash Center as well as through SD card as well, but still be SPL version is 4.70.yang. Anyone knows any other alternative.
Also, if anyone has faced similar problem then kindly advice how you resolved.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Pankaj
So, after weeks and weeks searching, reading topcis and trying solutions I've finnaly succeed.
If anyone is interested, here are my steps:
First I read a topic were I found a SPL.nbh in a dutch rom, renamed it in HERAIMG.nbh and with my goldcard flashed it. Then I looked for an original french Herald rom: flashed it. I installed Hardspl (before put the three cabs up on the phone). Finally installed the rom of Tribulattifather.
My herald works fine yet.
Thank you for your replies,
Best regards,
The Aslan
Hi The Aslan
i'm having the same problem & same IPL & SPL as yours ,but i'm still stuck in the bootloader for a week & i can't flash any ROM , so can you plz give me IN DETAILS all what you did starting from the GOLD CARD till the ROM you installed .
I need help please it is important.
Best regards,
elnakah
Hi elnakah,
Here are my steps to unbrick the herald:
First download the dutch rom, take the SPL.nbh out and rename it HERAIMG.nbh. Put it on your goldcard with the heradiag. With the heradiag flash it. ( You will have the IPL at 1.08 and the SPL at 4.1)
Then, do a Hardreset; you can see the message who says : format sucessful or something esle and an image with the logo of htc will appear and desappear very quickly and you will return to the bootloader.(With the heradiag you have the possiblity to format your device in FAT you can do it but it's optional and just to be sure)
Flash an ORGINAL default rom
If it works, install correctly the hardspl.
Flash any rom you want
I hope I've helped you,
Regards,
The Aslan
