I use the Xdarit to read & write the Rom image from my MDA.
I managed to read from the SD card and stored on my harddisk.
When I create back with a new rom .nbf files to the SD card and read back again to the harddisk, the SD show the original files size that from my MDA not the one that I'm going to upgrade to ? I rename the files to .nb1 extension.
Do I need to reformat the SD Card ? Do I need a new SD Card for the download ?
Dear XDA developer #..., please advice. I have been posting and yet to get some good advice and replies.
I would appreciate very much of your expertise in this matter.
Thanks again
they should be the same size, nb1, and nb0 files always are fixed size
more answer:
- when using xdarit you never have to format sd cards.
- renaming files will probably confuse XDARit, since this
is how xdarit recognizes what kind of file it has.
What I meant original file sizes.
1. Read from SD Card ( backup from MDA )
bootloader 5-15.nb0 256 K
WindowsCE 5-15.nb1 32,512 K
2. Write to SD Card ( with new ruu extract from O2 ie )
bootloader 5-15.nb0 256 K
WindowsCE NK_Wallaby31413wee_O2_Fulll.nbf 31,745 K
3. Read back the backup step 2.
bootloader 5-15v1.nb0 256 K
WindowsCE 5-15v1.nb1 32,512 K
As you mentioned, the files size are fixed, therefore my files of
the 5-15v1.nb1 should have the content of the NK-Wallaby.....
and I should had leave the file extention as .nbf without rename it to .nb1
Or should i had wite back using the step 1 files name ?
Please advice, many thanks
if you rename an .nbf file to .nb1, you will burn an incorrect os image
to your xda. making it unbootable in OS mode.
( your bootloader will still work )
also, be careful updating your bootloader, if it fails somehow
it is very difficult to restore your xda
if you just want to update your OS, only write the ..nb1 file
or select the .nbf from your distribution, without renaming it.
this http://openwince.sourceforge.net/jtag/iPAQ-3600/ might
give you an impression on what you would have to do, to repair
your xda after you've trashed your bootloader
Bootloader still appear but buttons not working ?
Thanks XDA developers,
My case is that I might accidently overwrite the bootloader.
The bootloader still be able to appear and the GSM OK showed but none of the functions button be able to work.
Do you think there is a way to work around ?
Many thanks for your replies
can u tell about bootloader version?
Bootloader v 5.15 on a T-Mobile MDA with 3.13.12 GER & Radio T310.
i think u can try to make sd card that contain wallaby path (.nb2) using xdarit... logically u can access "action button" to flash the rom.... this is only way to activate "action button"
after insert sd card u can go on bootloader and see wallaby path, press action button, if it work u can flash the rom (may be u should find exact rom that installed before xda died, more work?)
hope u can fix this prob
regards
Hello All,
I can't write new ROM image to SD card with XDArit: I can read image from card, but when I try write new ROM image, I get "Failed to open device \\Physical device12" error message. I try both USB and PCMCIA card readers, but don’t work… What is the problem? (My PC is an Asus P4 notebook with WinXP Pro)
Thx your help & sorry my bad English

try to change device "mass storage device" with driver from manufacture, use one of xdarit executable 180kb or 1.39mb (find out in other thread)
Hello,
I install manufacturer's drivers, but isn't work
I download (found) only 180kb version of XDArit (and source code, but my C++ knowledge... khm...)
Can you write the 1,3mb version's link from me?
Thx

Hi,

I read on another thread, XDArit work only with USB 1.1 ports... My laptop have only USB 2.0 ports... :roll: I changed my laptop with one old IBM Thinkpad and XDArit work correctly...
Regadrs & thanks
Hanzy

Just searching for why I couldn't get XDArit to work with my system - seems the larger (presumably debug) build of XDArit has what's needed to work with the v4 nbf's - thanks for the pointer!

Thanks a lot for you answer, but I need to know how to do a USB FLASHING, my SD card slot is probably broken so I cannot use SD card....
I read, that it is possible to flash MDA with BIN file (mtty.exe program). Does anybody have experience with this type of flashing?
Where can I find BIN versions of ROMs?
my bad
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
make a rom
put the xda in the cradle
run the exe file

I cannot upgrade with exe, because it needs ActiveSync and WM200X installed..... i think.
:-( My 2003ROM is broken.
Thanks for your replies, I'm trying to solv this problem nonstop since sunday.
Maybe just throw MDA in garbage could solv my problem...
Bootloader 5.15 works and GSM OK. Thats all....
So, why do you think your SD-Slot is broken?
Have you tried to insert a empty SD-Card in your devuce, enter bootloader, making a backup of your exisiting ROM to your SD-Card and the reenter the bootloader?

Thanks for reply..... I tried to backup and load the ROM back, but
1) after download to the MDA, everytime bad checksum and cannot start win.
2) I tried SD card test in bootloader and everytime test said "TEST ERROR"
3) I tried 4 different SD cards with same results
4) I tried many ROMs (2002 and 2003) - same problem "Checksum is not correct"

Explain this a little bit more....
When you have backup the ROM via bootloader to the SD. You get there a checksum error?
What happens when you soft reset the device after backup and then reenter the bootloader?
When you're trying to install a new ROM on your device, what for SD-Card Writer are you using? Internaly build or external device?

I'm using external SD reader (USB) - I was not able to do it with internal PCMCIA reader, so I borrow one.
When I try to do backup ROM to SD via bootloader it is fine, but when I try to give the ROM back to the MDA, everything seems to be allright, but after download from SD to MDA I get Download OK,but Checksum is not correct.
I also tried to test my 4 SD cards in the "bootloader SD card test" and everytime it says TEST ERROR. This is why I think my SD card slot is bad :-(.
I am really desperat and do not know what to do :-(.......
Any help appreciated
I think that only way for me is to load the ROM to the MDA through USB, but not the ActiveSync way. I read somewhere, that it is possible with "bin" file by mtty.exe program, but I cannot find any bin ROM.

HI
hard reset your device by taping and handling the top off button and reseting, the bootloader will invite you to wait. do so, wait untill you'll see the message '' gsm error'' then tap the sound button on your left, put the device back on the craddle.
Do this if you had already enabled the usb for dos in the bios of your computer.
this shall work
salute!

You need to use sd card flashing method, your phone will be ok, just look around the forum look for sd card flashing.

OK but how can i reflash my SX56 with SD cadr if I don't have any back up ?
plus everybody has bootloader 5.17 or older but my is 5.22 :-(
Hello,
you have 2 options both use SD card:
1. get ROM backup from any other working XDA.
2. get SD card reader/writer. change the extention of the ROM file you cooked to .zip and use winzip to extract a file named NK.nbf under \english directory. use the SD writer to copy this file to the SD card.
in both cases, insert the SD card into your XDA and use the bootloader.
good luck ...
similar problem last year
Hiya Mike2001,
I had a similar problem last year. I found that while the ActiveSync monitor shows no connectivity you will still be able to transfer an OS image. One hiccup I did find, and I am running wallaby 5.17 by the way, is a version conflict with the proposed rom and existing header information. This is a windows registry problem on your PC caused by the crash which needs to be deleted prior to attempting the upgrade.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David A. Booth
