Memory locations - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

If I want to dump my bootloader with the pmemdump-tool, what location should I dump? Is it possible to write a bootloader using a tool as well? I suspect that my device don't have a bootloader because I'm unable to invoke any bootloader with the three magic buttons, and I've also been unable to enter the bootloader when using EnterBootloader.exe from pof.
(What I really want is to upgrade my phone, but none of the upgrade tools work)
In advance, thanks!

Cannot access my Bootloader - HELP!!!

Hi eveyone!
I've tried to upgrade my XDA to WM2003 (4.01.16 ENG form T-Mobile). Now I cannot access to my bootloader and GSM doesn't work.
Is there any chance to fix my XDA? Is there any softawre to restore bootloader?
I would be really appreciate for help.
Tom
if the bootloader is broken then
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAtools
look at the first picture
Do you think it'll work, even though I cannot connect via Activ Sync???
what do you get when trying to access the bootloader screen ?
Nothing, beacuse I simply cannot access bootloader. When I do soft restart with holding the power button, it doesn't bring me to bootloader screen.
Is it possible that I had deleted Bootloader??? How can I restore it?????
Please help me, beacuse I can't afford to by a new device.
I do appreciate every hint.
Regards
AFAIK device still works so there is a possibility to upgrade it by copying sth into device using MMC or SD card. If I feel right about the reason of problems mensioned above he have to change Radio Stack and he can do this by MMC transfer and exe method. Maybe some of U can provide some link to working RS with good readme included...

Yes, if you still can sync with your xda, run the fixbootloader.bat from \xdatools\binaries on your PC

Here is a pnewbootloader for ROM version 4.01.16

I blew my bootloader some how and spent some time modifying the pnewbootloader source code to make it work for WM2003 ROM version 4.01.16
I took original source code by itsme and added version and address information for ROM 4.01.16
Use this in conjunction with a valid 5.15 bootloader image to downgrade your bootloader imaget to 5.15 from 6.22 or 5.22 or 5.17
type pnewbootloader_40116.exe bootloader_v5_15.nb0
to apply the bootloader.
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. This program uses defined ROM addresses and will only work with known ROM versions. There are some basic checks to prevent damage.
Fixbootloader don't work
I have T-Mobile ROM 4.01.16 with bootloader 5.15 probably locket by this T-Mobile ROM (I can't flash any other ROM and original pnewbootloader whrite message "Unable to find flash info offset, cannor disable bootloader writeprotect")
When I trying to start you updated pnewbootloader, my WinXP popup a message
"The application failed to inicialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate the apllication"
What should it be?.. :?:
This application needs ActiveSync and also the "itsutils.dll" to be located in the same folder as teh EXE.
Which version of XP are you using. I built it on a XP pro SP1 box.
I have exactly the same: WinXP Pro SP1
I run in cmd "pnewbootloader_40116.exe bl515.nb0"
from the folder, which contain
pnewbootloader_40116.exe
pnewbootloader.exe
itsutils.dll
pput.exe
bl515.nb0
Activesync 3.71 i connected to my XDA.
Cant really say why you are having this problem. But one this might help.
Seems like your .net framework is either old or not working.
Go to windows update to download and install the 1.1 .net framework or visit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&DisplayLang=en
Thank you for your help! The problem was realy in .NET version.
I had 1.0 installed on my WinXP.
After updating to .NET 1.1 your program is working fine. And it seems, that it updated my bootloader. Its output was
pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0
in FindFlashOffset (or somthing like this)
protection found at 8c0d62c8
result: 00000000 00000000
After that my device is still bootable and boot my 4.01.16
But I still can't update my ROM to 3.17.03 through XDATools..
Can anyone help me? plzzzz!
are you using xdarit to write your image to SD card ?.
You have to use SD card flash method to upgrade/downgrade the ROM.
Download XDarit and use that to write the image (.nb1) to SD card in 1k header format.
Then reset and boot your pda after holding the power button. You will see a menu which will let you flash your PDA with the image on the SD. Search for xdarit on the forum. You will find SD card flash process also.
rchir, when you said I blew my bootloader some how , did you mean you get GSM error?
Thanks
No,
I was unable to get into the bootloader anymore. I trid to build a boot loader upload SD card and it wiped out the boot loader from my PPC.
GSM error might be due to you Radio firmware failure.
Thanks, well, if you could figure out how to solve the Radio firmware failure, please post it, I'm sure many people here would apreciate it :lol:
would this fix my broken bootloader?my unit doesn't display anything on it's screen, I think I've already erased my bootloader pls help me, I'm so desperate about this.... i tried everything which inside this thread but my activesync can't detect my unit...SOS
I also have a broken bootloader ...
I have an xdaII, and I've somehow overwritten the original bootloader v1.06 with a corrupt bootloader image. Now my xdaII is completely dead. No leds flashing, no screen, no button response. All I get is a flashing red led when i rty to charge my xdaII without the battery. It seems I can't access my bootloader anymore. Plz help !! If you know any method to access the boot loader agin it be a great help. Thanks.
sorry guys, it has been a long time since i sold my XDA, but i think pnewbootloader will only work if you are able to connect your pda to PC with activesync.
So you should have a working XDA, with a broken bootloader to get it fixed. Seems like in your case, Both the ROM and Bootloader are corrupt. I am not sure about any process which will fix both at the same time.
can u post the download again? or pls send it to me [email protected].. THANK YOU..
(the download feature does not work, here in my computer, and another another computer appears a error message)
Hai
I have PWA1 work in wce 2003 GR 4.01.12 not work bootloder can't dispay because i wrong flash my bootloader himalaya ver. 1.29. plzz help my to change my bootloader 6-22 0r 5.15. please.

'Bootloader mode' protection

Hey Guys,
I'am wondering if there is a possibility to protect the bootloader mode.
For example if you have installed a 'GPS tracking software' and your phone gets stolen, it's very easy to flash a new ROM on your phone and nobody is able to trace you anymore. Or if you have PDA's for your personal, and you don't want them to **** with it.
That way your phone is totally protected!
Maybe somebody is able to make a .CAB so you need to enter a password every time you enters the bootloader mode, or is it not possible to use the keyboard in that mode?
Anyway: IS THERE ANY SOLUTION
'cause I am just a rookie
Thanks in advance,
GertieBoy
You cant patch your bootloader with a cab ... it have nothing to do with the OS
Bootloader is a part of the spl
Depending on your device, you could build something like that in using one of Olipro's developer SPL versions. You better know what you're doing though, because unless you are also security unlocked & knw how to DL data to the device, if you make an error you could be in for trouble.
The easiest thing I could think of though would be to modify the BL acceptable model number to something non-exsistent, after installing your rom of choice, but then again, there is always ways to bypass the SPL.
Reset button broken-cant bootloader mode
Is there another way to put a 6700 into bootloader mode without the stylus hole being part of process? the reset button broke off my ppc 6700 apache.
Thanjks

elf100 cid incorrect

hello, I have a practically elf100 cid I included an incorrect and now I turn on the computer but most recognize it as device driver active sync as I can resuscitate it? RUU but I've tried different image file corrupted by error code 270 any help?
Excuse my English! thanks in advance.
May be, or Brush tool to unlock the file has been damaged, the proposed replacement of the tool kit, or which files.
Or because the CID is not unlocked lead to information could not write, it is recommended to confirm the machine before that had been unlocked CID.
was a CID unlocked I just wanted to put RUU with the French language, I did not back up the file, and do not know what to put.
I tried to do the procedure microsd but either do not quite understand how to do it! I do not know to put the boot this phone is the procedure I do: Put the boot by pressing the camera button + reset and reset the camera release button and starting of squash, and correct?
to cid unlock, you are supposed to use the RUU method, by plugging in your usb cable.
not the flashing method (putting the image file into sd)

Need help about downgrade, TOUGHEST problem ever!! Softbank 001HT DHD

Hi all,
I've been in a trouble that never been before. And after several tries, lots of google, I have to ask for help
I've got a Desire HD locked to Softbank Japan (001HT) comes with v2.37.726.2 with S-ON and can NOT access to any menu except emergency call.
So I can't enable USB Debugging, can't flash to another version although I have goldcard already (Main version is older! problem).
Phone can go to recovery, fastboot can see phone, but ADB NOT.
Tried all mode recovery, hboot usb, normal mode (only emergency call) and HTC original upgrade tools can't connect to phone as well.
So, the situation is: can't enable USB Debugging, phone not allow to flash to any older version, can't ADB. ONLY HBoot usb fastboot can see phone.
Anyone have experience with this before?
Willing to donated some $$$ if can help me out.
Thank you
You cannot downgrade that build, because HTC added some new security measures. Sorry, but you are stuck before someone finds a new way to downgrade.
That's sad Any chances to flash to higher version or whatever so at least I can use the phone as a PDA?
Just to give it a bump.
Any way to by pass that emergency call only so I can use it as a PDA?
Found those:
PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Orange_ES_2.37.75.8_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_194089_signed
and some TMO_UK TMO_AT with 2.37.11x.x
will give them a try
Update:
PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_TMO_UK_2.37.110.5_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_189654_signed
This file works. Although there is no solution to downgrade 2.37, but at least it can by pass that stupid emergency dial only and allow to input unlock code / or use it as a PDA

This Japanese phone need special way to enter the Airplane mode without the SIM card. I translate from a Japanese site:
1. Slide down to enter Emergency call interface.
2. Put and hold the Power button for few seconds, a dialog will appear, select Airplane mode
3. Touch the Home button
4. Now you can use the phone, change the settings, root, and unlock it
Hi,
@Tudo: Thanks for the info.
Question: I put my phone into airplane mode and was able to access a screen where I could read "Sim network subset unlock pin".
So I got an HTC unlock code from a trusted website. After I input the code, it said: "Invalid password"; and my phone still is sim-locked. Am I doing something wrong? Does "sim network subset unlock pin" mean the same as "sim unlock code"? I'm lost here...
Hope someone can advise me...;-)
