you may check steps 1-6 to see how to get a ROM dump on a SD card.
if you have a SD card with the ROM dump just use step 7 to upload from SD into ROM.
did it only with a dump from my own Wizard and back into it but not with a dump from another Wizard so better read through the thread yourself carefully first.

Hello all, first post here.
I upgraded my T-Mobile to 4.00.10 'internal test only' Tmobile rom.
I am getting a replacement phone from TMobile and I need to send this one back (Has a bad screen, warranty replacement).
Problem is, the one I am returning has the 4.00.10 ROM loaded... Do you think that the T-Mobile folks will care? I dont want to 'get in trouble'...
or charged for the replacement...
So, here is the question... Should I try to downgrade the ROM and the Radio Stack to its original before I return it?
How will I do that, I haven't seen anyone that has dont this yet, in a consistent way.
Also, is the Radio Stack upgrade included in the NK.NBF file in the RUUxx.exe from T-Mobile?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

You should definitely put the phone back into the "saleable" condition in which you purchased it. Get an extra sd card, a card reader, or the new xdatools posted here and flash the ROM back to the original Tmobile ROM you bought it with. If you didn't back up your ROM prior to flashing, which unfortunately is typical, you can download it here somewhere, flash it, and no one should be the wiser. By the way, why are you returning it?
I am returning the phone because the screen is messed up... It seem that the protective cover has separated from the 'screen', it is loose, so when you use your stylus, you have to really press down hard before it registers... also, it is extremely inaccurate when using the stylus even after numerous re-alignments.
Is there any way to reflash using SD Card if you dont have an SDCard reader? Can I copy the required files via ActiveSync to the SDCard while it is in the phone, then do a reset to bootloader to reflash via SDCArd?
If so, what files are needed on the sd card?
Another question along the same line... is there a special format for the files used to re-flash rom from the SD card (i.e. directory structure, file is a specific memory space, etc.) that is required when flashing using the BootLoader method?
I think that I can get an SD Card reader, but I am not sure yet...
Also, do you think that I can leave the Radio Stack at 6.24 instead of the orig 6.18?
Thanks, all.

I'm thinking of upgrading my o2 XDA to WM2003, it is currently unlocked and I am using the Orange network (UK)
My current Radio Version is : 4.21.00, with 3.17.03 ROM.
Is it possible to just upgrade the ROM and not the radio stack?
If I do this am I definatley still going to be able to make phone calls once upgraded?
I have NO SD Card at present, but am I right in thinking there is a method of upgrading without an SD card?
And one last thing, if it all goes t1ts up I assume I would be able to downgrade back to my current rom.
Many Thanks
:wink:
You can upgrade without the sd card. Just download from jeffs kitchen the .exe and it will upgrade while synched to the pc, it will not affect your radio stack. I would suggest getting an sd card, I backed up my original rom to sd and it has got me out of problems. Scan the rom upgrade pages for all the advice you will ever need on the subject.

You need to use sd card flashing method, your phone will be ok, just look around the forum look for sd card flashing.
BIG PROBLEM ! I probably damage my SX56 upon his upgrade

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,

Hello all,
1st Thank to all of you about your efforts helping such like me.
2nd Is there any way to upgrade ROM from SD card? I'm not able to connect the Artemis to any PC trough Active Sync and also trough bootloader mode the device is not visible for the upgrade wizard.
Many Thanks in advance
SD Flashing....
I'm in the same boat...my USB port on the Artemis must be bad as it only allows charging..can't sync with WinXP computer at all. No problems with other WinMo phones. Besides forking out some $$ to get a USB port fix, can't I flash a new ROM to the Artemis (both Radio or ROM) via SD? It seems I recall doing this for my PPC-6700 at one point. Anyways, I would love to resurrect this phone as I really liked it and the new ROM(s) and Radios out there would help it a lot.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

is it possible to flash juicy's r2 sense rom on a mac? Also are there any free sync clients like syncmate but it lets you back up and add music? please help
AFAIK, there's no way to use the RUU tool to flash via USB if you're on a Mac. However, if you already have HardSPL, just download the ROM you want and rename the NBH file to rhodimg.nbh, and put that on the root of your MicroSD card. Put the MicroSD back into the phone and manually boot into the bootloader and follow the instructions. It'll flash from your MicroSD just like it would a regular ROM, and it works just as well.
ok thanks, so i guess ill need a micro sd. ive seen someone flash a rom from the sd but the bootloader part looked a little confusing...i guess ill just figure it out. thanks again
