solution to 1% flash failed problem (RSU_3.23.01.exe)

i have the same 1% flash failed problem. here's what i did.
1. prepare an SD card with the RUU_3.16.52 extracted using XDArit.exe (use XDArit.exe to transfer the ROM in c:\program files\RUU\english\NK.nbf to the SD) you need to have a USB SD Card Reader in order to do this. buy one if you have to.
2. prepare a second SD card with the repair files stored in the root directory (RSUpgrade.sa.CAB 4,305,434bytes, and the 2577 folder) just like whoever suggested, but replace the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB on the root of SD with the one you extracted in c:\program files\Radio Stack Upgrade Utility\RSUpgrade.sa.CAB (4,328,441bytes) by running RSU_3.23.01.exe (which had unfortunately caused the failure.)
2. insert the SD card with the RUU_3.16.52. press the power button while performing a soft reset. you should enter the wallaby loader screen. i have version 5.15. press action to flash the ROM to your xda.
3. cold boot your xda. you should see the blud Qtek screen. in the lower-right-hand corner you should see
G
R
3.16.52
4. you may be asked to calibrate your screen by tipping the four corners.
5. press the volume button. insert the second SD card (containg the repair files and the 4,328,441bytes SUpgrade.sa.CAB (NOT the 4,305,434bytes one, because it will cause freezing at 1%!) wait patiently until the upgrade finishes. you may put the xda back to the cradle for power as long as it doesn't reset itself.
if anything goes wrong, start from step 2 again.
NOTE: i may have skipped some steps in the above. but that's the best i could remember. good luck.
if you haven't upgraded the Qtek ROM and the Radio Stack, learn the risk before attempting!!!

XDArit - read error from SD card?

Hi !
i tried to read my saved 3.14-ger rom from my SD card (saved as boot+ce)... but XDArit (new version) says: Did not find correct flash signature, aborting!
Why ? what did i do wrong?
Jabba

what does it display in the first page ?
does it start with 'HTC$WALLABY' ( if so what number follows? )
or does it say 'FLASH KEY'
or does it say 'FAT16'

nothing was displayed.
was very weird... i installed some win2k-drivers on my winxp for the sd-card, now it works !

my one see FAT16 it not 'HTC$WALLABY' WHAT I MAKE WRONG >?

WHAT ARE U MORE INSTALL ON TO XP ? PLEASE TELL ME I NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLME TOO

if you see 'fat16' that means your sd card is still formatted for normal use.
after xdarit or your bootloader have written data to your sd card,
you will see 'HTC$WALLABY' in the first bytes.
the 'FLASH KEY' is what you would see with bootloader 5.17, I am not sure
if xdarit supports this correctly.
I didn't need to install anything on XP, I just plugged a usb cardreader
in my pc, you see some popups about windows finding new hardware, and drivers. and after about 1 minute it worked.

the new ver 1.2 of XDArit.exe
when i use it Write a image to sd card,it 's return a error

Same Here
I get the same message in XDArit.,
Also. recently installed the latest program A update 3.17 from O2 to my UK XDA all went well, then (before I discovered this website!!) I foolishly (it now seems) went to the Program B uprade. this hubg up in mid flash!!
Now my poor XDA is in a sorry condition does wird and wonderful things, random backlight on off, responds to ocasional button pushes.
where can I get the GSM ROM to flash into it?

I also receive XDARite error with version 1.0.2.....
I have tried three different card readers and all of them give me this error....

Lumpi - or anyone: 2 Quick Questions

All/Lumpi/Anyone:
First, thanks for a great site. I've managed to really appreciate the efforts that go into the work here and on the Wiki, and it's great.
My model: Wallaby TMobile US Original XDA
Current Info:
ROM: 4.01.16 ENG (Thanks to Lumpi's tasty kitchen)
ROM DATE: 02/04/04
Radio Version: 6.18.00
Protocol Version: 324e4
Desire/Objective:
I'd like to upgrade not only to the Windows Mobile 2003 SE, but I'd also like to update the RS to 6.25 (I'm in the US).
Problems:
(1) When I attempt to download the Rom (in EXE format, per Lumpi's kitchen), I cannot execute it as the errors start in the console window (ERROR: GetDeviceData), screenshot:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and second screenshot (window #2) :
Previously, without issue, I updated my ROM using the SD CARD Method and another ROM on Lumpi's site -- in fact the ROM listed above, without any major problem. And I realize that Lumpi mentions that this ROM is special, and cannot be used through the SDCARD Load or OSImageTool because this is a differently formatted ROM (being a Windows Mobile 2003 SE edition). Then, what specifically is the procedure to get this working? Do I need AdaptAROM? I'm sorry to ask, but I've searched and could not find the link.
(2) Second, I've tried (from the FTP site) to download RSU_040204_6_25 (thinking, logically, that this is the right RSU for my unit config (Date of 4.012.00 ENG). But how exactly am I to update the radio stack and *should* I update it? Has anyone else used this stack?
Many thanks, in advance.
Lumpi -- if you need space to host another kitchen, let me know.

The 4.01.16 prohibits flashing via EXE file. So you can not upgrade diretly to WM2003SE.
Download anonther ROM eg. 3.17.03 or the XDA Developers ROM 1.2 flash your Device via SD Card and then you can Upgrade via EXE-File to WM2003SE
Concerning the RSU Upgrade, there are different files on the FTP. Some are for running on your PC with connected Wallaby via ActiveSync and there ore some files (Should have _PPC in the filename) that have to run directly on the Wallaby. Extract the downloaded ZIP-File and copy all files to the /Windows directory of your device and run the RSUpgrade.exe
If you don´t have any problems with your telephone i would suggest to stay at your current Radio Stack... Upgrading this is a rixk everytime....
Some made good experiences with removing SIMcard before flashing, some other made good experiences with sim inside...
Stefan
PS: Thx for the offer, but i think i´ve got enough. Currently I´ve got 2 working kitchens up....

Dump Prophet/M600/S200 ROM : How-To ???

Hi,
I just bought a French Orange SPV M600 yesterday and before making anything on it (upgrading, installing softwares, unlocking SIM, etc) I'd like to dump the ROM and store it in a safe place in order to be able to restore my phone if ever it comes to "brick" state
I read a lot today about that, using mtty, romupdate, bootloader mode etc...but I can't achieve to do it...
1- I kill activesync
2- I put my phone in bootloader mode (camera button + soft reset) and I get the color stripes fine
3- I connect my USB cable, I got the status-message "USB" on the phone screen = OK
4- I launch mtty, enter \\.\blablabla001 as port to connect to = OK
5- this is where nothing works anymore : typing D2S in the console gives an error msg (bad command, type h or ? for help) Something I noticed and being quite weird : I don't have "USB>" as a command prompt but "CMD>"...
6- even typing h or ? makes nothing, I get the same error msg :? The only recognised command is "usb" and the output message is then "already connected to USB"
Is this due to a bad software version ? (I use mtty 1.42)
Is it a SPV M600 incompatibility ? (too recent ?)
Has anybody achieved to dump such a ROM on SD-Card ? If yes, how please ?
Thx a lot !
EDIT : here's mtty's screen

Use r2sd all
this will backup the device to a sd card but ALL DATA on the card WILL BE LOST!!! .
However this command will only work if the phone is cid unlocked.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Hi, thx for your reply.
I tried also r2sd all and I get an error message saying I can't. (something like "authorized level...blabalbla)
Then I unfortunately guess my SPV M600 is CID locked :-(
I hope it will never badly crash before I can achieve to find a full-backup-restore solution...
Already happened once and I had to wait ages for getting it repaired by service-support... If only I had a ROM backuped somewhere I could restore the device in its "factory" state without bothering trying cheating it...
I've read some threads and it would seem that Qtek S200 as well as HTC Prophet or iMate Jamin are CID unlockable...but not the Orange one :-(

Bu what is the program that u've been using to dump the rom ?? Link and name please...

I goofed: Now my 4350 is no more

I know that this has been partly addressed in other threads, but I failed to find an answer so this is a desperate plea for assistance.
My 4350 is an unbranded and not locked device. This may (or may not) be of significance. It has a Swedish keyboard, and I *guess* that the rom also was swedish (no way to find out right now I guess). Current version numbers are
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
GSM 02.71.90
this is all that is shown after my failed attempt to flash the device with a WM6 image. Maybe I did not pay attention, maybe the flash failed for another reason.
Anyway, I downloaded the PDAVIET ROM WM6.0 v4.12.07.05, discussed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318962
During the flashing, I got a single error saying
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - The drive cannot find the sector requested.
Edit: I guess this was caused by me forgetting to disable power save in the device. At least this was hinted by someone else in another thread. Am I correct?
After the failed boot, I tried to write another rom image using the RUU program. The RUU failed to identify the current image version, and when I proceeded to write the new rom 5.4.405.1, the progress bar on the handheld goes to 2%, and then reboots. The RUU then says "ERROR 294: INVALID VENDER ID"
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So what can I do now? Except call to HTC support and see if they can help me to revive the device ...
More important, what did I do wrong?

If you get the message that says INVALID VENDER ID then it means that you are using the wrong RUU. For example I have a WWE device and if I used a Russion RUU I would get a invalid vender id error or vice versa.
The only solution for you at this moment is to find a swedish RUU. If there isn't a swidish RUU then you will have to wait untill the WM6 RUU is released.

ok, I understand that by now. But what if I can find a person that owns a Herald with a V5 Swedish rom. Is there a way to "suck" the rom out and then re-install it on my device?
I think that I have read that you can dump the rom to the SD card, but I can not find the posting. Anyone?
Anders

I have heard of this before but I don't know how to do it sorry.

You can make A ROM Dump (check the WIKI for more info) but you will not be able to flash this dump on your Herald.

ok, so what is the point of doing this ROM dump if the result is useless

Ah that is true because the only method that we herald/wing/terra users have at this moment AFAIK is using asergs methods which would require you to be in a working OS. Correct?

Totally correct! we need OR the official HTC WM6 update, RUU in your own language (for a working OS), OR a modified bootloader that allows unsigned code..
