bootloader commands

write the gsm rom to your SD card.
Code:
d2s 60000000 400000
write the extended rom to sd card
Code:
d2s 70000000 1f20000
write the bootloader + os rom to sd card
Code:
d2s 80000000 2000000
the 6xxxxxxx and 7xxxxxxx memmory ranges are emulated by the
bootloader, no special memory mapping as I first thought.
more bootloader commands, see http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/bl-ii-usage.html

write GSM ROM to SD
Hi ...
Could you please kindly explain how to 'actually' run the bootloader command?
I mean: do we run it from within the bootlader on the device? or do we have to connect the device to a PC through the cradle/ activesync or through a serial cable?
If must be run from the PC, what application (from Windows) do we need to install?
Thanks a lot in advance...
-Andhy

on a windows pc you need to connect the xda with a serial cable, and connect with some terminal program, like hyperterm, or securecrt.
or program connecting to \\.\WCEUSBSH001 your self, if you want to connect over usb.
under linux it should be no problem to connect your terminal program to the usb serial line.
put the xda in bootloader mode, by holding down the power button, and navigator button together, while resetting the device with the pen in the little hole on the bottom left.
you will lose all your date when you do this

Itsme: Many thanks...greatly appreciate your kind response.
Please allow to ask some more questions, I hope it's not too annoying
1. what's the name of the application for connecting thru USB? You mentioned "...program connecting to \\.\WCEUSBSH001 ..." sorry I need some guidance in this. Linux may be not an option for me as I have no accesss nor experience with one.
2. Is there any possibility for you to post the GSM ROM image (preferably for 900/1800)? Since we will loose data when doing this connecting application, I won't be able to ask some one to lend their working xda to do this. It would scare all them off.
THanks again for your kind help ....
Cheers...

you can use my xda2dmp app posted here earlier.
but as I said, under windows there are no apps that I know of that will allow you to connect to other serial ports than COM1 .. COMxxx
so serial over usb is only available to you if you program it yourself.
the gsm rom image is available in the upgrade, in radio.nbf
see also http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xdaii-update-format.html

Hmmm... no hope for me... I have got no idea about programming communication stuff like that...
Thanks for the info about radio.nbf. I thought this one was only for XDA2 as it is filed under XDA2 title.
sorry if this may sound stupid, but is it possible to flash this radio.nbf from SD card using the XDA OSimage tool?

yes, radio.nbf is only xda-2
to avoid confusion, now I also set the xda-ii icon on this thread

GSM ROM for xda
could you please guide me to get a GSM ROM for xda?
my xda lost the GSM part since unsuccesful RSUpgrade (after upgrading to TMobile ROM 4.01.0, I accidentally chose the GSM1900 band in the phone- then the phone was not working, and then I tried to flash with an O2 RSUpgrade- but did not sucessful - resulting a total loss of the GSM part - the Radio stack and Protocol version were not shown during splash screen).
So far, I have been trying to fix the GSM using all kind of methods and using almost all sort of tools. No luck, always ended up at the RSUpgrade 1% Flash Failed screen.
I hope you could guide me a bit in this matter. Sorry , if I posted this question in this thread..

Willem,
Have you checked out FTDI? They provide a USB driver that can be driven as a virtual COM port. On the XDA side I can't provide any references.

Join and write all rom in one SDcard ?
Dear Itsme,
Can I type the following commands to write all rom"gsm+ext.rom+bootloader+os rom" to same one 64MB / 128MB sd card ?
--------------------------------------------------------
write the gsm rom to your SD card.Code:
d2s 60000000 400000
write the extended rom to sd cardCode:
d2s 70000000 1f20000
write the bootloader + os rom to sd cardCode:
d2s 80000000 2000000
-------------------------------------------------------
If not, how can I do that ?
What differents of the commands as following:
--------------------------------------------------------
first copy the first 3 M of the radio to sd:
d2s 60000000 00300000
and now append the extended rom to the sd card:
d2s 70080000 01000000 sd a
---------------------------------------------------------
many thanks !

you have to add 'sd a' to the appending commands. without 'sd a' each command will start writting at the start of the sd card.
other than that, your commands will make a complete backup of all roms.

questions to bootloader
Hello,
kindly excuse my English.
After the final ROM Update, I´ve made, the updatesoftware doesn´t change the bootloader. Is this correct ?
(I have updated from 1.60.00GER O2 to 1.72 iMate without problems)
At http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaBootloaderVersions I´ve found different bootloaders. Whats the differents between the several versions ?
It´s possible to change the bootloader and it´s useful ?
Thats a lot of questions. I'm looking forward to read your reply

I think tgis is your problem.
Take a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XDArit
Maybe you should adapt your Header. Or try xdatools instead of xdarit. I think this "fixes" that problem......
HTH
Stefan

Pls. show me where i can find or download 5-15.nb0 và 3.14.17-O2Asia.nb1?

Here it comes .....

I've done exactly following what they said. But why's error?
Help me more...pls!

Don't know exactly where the error is....
Try this tool here insted of xdarit:
http://www.romkitchen.de/tools/XDATools.zip
Stefan

I tried time after time with XDAtool but It's not OK! Maybe Wallaby Bootloader is v5.17
I'm so tired...!

Try this file for using as bootloader.
Maybe the problem is the rom. Have you tried any other rom ? (nb1 or nbf - File)
Stefan

I think XDArit.exe get a problem! They talk i just have could using XDArit with Header 1K for Bootloader 5.17

S.O.S HELP?

Greetings.
My PDA is locked when they appear the following lines:
IPL 1.36.0001
SPL 1.36.0000
GSM 02.81.90

FLAS he intended to USPL from bootloader mode but does not recognize the PDA.
I have also tried via MicroSD card but gives an error certificate.
Any idea.
Thank you

MicroSD must have only one 256 MB-Partition wich is FAT32 formated...

Ok. But I do not understand how to do it. Formatting the memory card that kind of courage told him?

yes i tried it.. "checking sd card" then again goes to bootloader mode.. tricolor..

Make sure that your SD card is formatted in FAT32....
Also that your .nbh file is renamed and place it on the root of your SD card.
Maybe this will succeed

USB port fried?

hello,
after flashing my universal (vpa IV, see sig) with tomals 6.1 21028 BETA 2 build, i noticed that the usb port doesnt seem to be working anymore. im not sure whether tomals rom caused that, but if i try to connect my device to active sync / flash it i just get a "unknown USB device" error from XP, just like if the uni was booting up. if i try to flash ANYTHING, i would get a "CE ROM UPGRADE ERROR" (error 112). i've tried it on 2 PCs, with 2 USB cables. both machines are win xp 32bit with active sync 4.5...
ohh by the way: it even doesnt work on bootloader mode! keep getting the same error ( yep i took SIM + SD card out )
thanks in advance, hope someone has a solution!
EDIT: is there a way to flash ROM / Radio from SD Card? how? i could sync over bluetooth and stay with flashing from sd card instead of repairing the usb port
EDIT2: alright i found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393370
EDIT3: i cant get it to work! i've tried with a 256mb SD card, and with a 2gb sd card. at the 256mb card the recovery will just abort at 19%... HELP

bump...
could anyone with a 64mb ram G3 uni bootloader version 1.00 and a 128mb MMC or a 256mb SD upload the bootloader for me? would be great! just do this on mtty:
connect to the device on USB / WCEUSBH001
type:
USB>task 32
USB>d2s 70000000 80000
(INSERT SD NOW!)
(Please notice the blank space between d2s and address, sd )
if it shows "store image to SD / MMC card successful.", the bootloader upload was successful.
after doing this, just give me the bootloader ( which is, as i guess just like at the pc the first 512bs (including part. table)
so, get this tool: http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/dd-0.5.zipunzip it for example to C:\ then go to start -> run and type in "cmd", now press enter.
type in C: and press enter.
now type cd dd-0.5 and you should be on the folder where dd is. check whether it is by typing in dir. then do dd --list and look for the SD card. for example if its shown as:
\\.\Volume{f87b78e3-0c04-11de-be63-806d6172696f}\
link to \\?\Device\HarddiskVolume4
fixed media
Mounted on \\.\d:
now type in: dd if=\\.\d: of=g3.bin bs=512 count=1 press enter.
now you have the file containing the mbr of the SD card. upload this one in a zip file / whatever, that would be really great! thanks!
EDIT: tomals tool may also work to dump the header!
sdread.exe -p G: start 416 sd.bin
here G: is the drive letter of your sd card and sd.bin is the file-name, please modify them accordingly. it would write the 416 bytes from your sd to the file.

sorry: http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/dd-0.5.zip

hmm just a little update: the data port on the usb connector is DEFINITELY broken. maybe its also the USB "controller"? i connected the phone to linux (running wm) and got "Unable to read/64 device descriptor error=-71" every time i connected the device.
so i went into the busy box on the phone and connected it again. it gave me EXACTLY the same error messages, and "USB reset!" on the phone dmesg. what should i do? i already checked the USB connector on the M/B and it was good!

bump.... still have the problem

Sorry, was on holiday. Please find attached from Tomal 8.7 on 256MB miniSD

Hi!

yeah i looked as close as possible EVERYwhere on the mainboard. just wasnt able to find the broken part, maybe its really the rs232 chip that is broken.... did the bootloader show USB for you when the device was plugged in?

Issues with USB
I had the same problem with my uni. similar thread here somewhere. I had to ship off to PPCTech, and they were able to fix it.
There was some chip that had blown, and it was replaced.
