HELP!!!

I have tried everything under the sun to upgrade my T-Mob PPPC/PE with Yorch's T-Mobile unofficial Upgrade to WM2003. I can't get it to work. Tried: loading ROM to SD card and soft reset, using XDATools OSImagetool, etc... :x

I believe it is tough for any one to advice if you don't state what exactly you did and what error messages you got .....

Are you trying bootloader method. or other method. Please present more detail regarding your problem including current rom/radio etc and things that you have tried already.

Sorry. First, loaded the file, NK.NBF onto my SD card using OSImagetool.exe. Then per instructions that were given to me, did a soft boot on the device. It simply rebooted and after it came up, there was a message on the screen asking my if I wanted to format the SD card for use with the device and telling me that if I hit "yes", the card would be erased and all data lost on the card.
The next thing I tried was to use OSImagetool.exe directly. Source- nk.nbf (on my desktop) and Destination: Device memory (via Programme A). The error I got was "Programme A not found - run with "--register" error opening target device.
I even tried to run OSImagetool.exe from the command prompt using --register as an argument and got the same exact error.
Then, I loaded the NK.NBF file to the SD card then ran OSImagetool with source: SD card, destination: Device memory. Then got the same error: "Programme A not found - run with "--register" error opening target device."
Hope that helps.

i dont know the program OSImagetool
but when i updated my xda to 2003 i used xdatools to transfer the rom to the sdcard and then i DIDENT! softreset but went into the bootloader and it started to update

They are the same program OSImagetool is just the name of the .exe file.
@jhug whats your bootloader version? Sounds like it might be 5.17 or newer!
HTH

When the xda asked you if you wanted to format the sd card you should answer no, it means the rom has in fact been written to the card, you then need to enter bootloader mode, a soft reset is no good, just push the stylus in the reset hole while holding down the power button, it will then ask you to push the action button which is the centre of the 4 way pad, your rom will then be programmed, make sure the battery is charged also. When the process is complete, unscrew your stylus, then insert the top half of the stylus in the hole on the bottom right of your xda, just push once, after one minute push again, this turns the battery off, then on again, you should then have a working system.

my bootloader is 5.22 btw

I wanted to check and see if the ROM was in fact on the SD card, so I did a soft reset and the notification came up and asked me if I wanted to format the SD card. I clicked no and assumed the nk.nbf file was on the card. I then did a soft reset while pressing the power button and went into bootloader mode. It did not ask me to push the action button, so I did anyways and it went into diagnostics mode. Ideas???
I'll try reloading the ROM on the SD card and try it again. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks for your help! BTW, bootloader version is 5.15.

Consider yourself luck if you haven't had any problems upgrading
using the SD card boot loader method then!
Also most of the RS upgrade failures that I seen / fixed and tried to fix had boot loader 5.17 or higher, so keep that in mind. :wink: Lucky, Lucky you!

Please do!
Also whats the size and make of your SD card?

Well, I tried it again and the same thing happened. It went into bootloader mode and did not ask me if I wanted to install the new OS. I tried pressing the volume button and it said to connect the USB cable. I also pressed the contacts button and it went into Diagnostic mode. Aaaaaarrrrrgh!
BTW, it's a 256MB Sandisk card. (Great for holding about 200 songs! :lol: )

Some how I knew you where going to say a "256MB Sandisk"!
For some unknown reason had the same problem using the same card,
if you can try using a 64MB or a 128MB card and see what happens. :wink:
HTH

It finally worked! I loaded the ROM to the 256mb Sandisk SD card while in the unit, removed the SD card, inserted the SD card, then did a warm boot while pressing the power button and the ROM image loaded! I did the usual battery cutoff and then rebooted it and it works fine. Thanks everyone who gave me advice with this. :lol: :lol:

Where there is a well there is a way, great job!
But how in the hell did you figure that one though? :wink:

I decided to get creative. Dangerous when you're working in Wallaby, but it worked! :shock:

Upgrade error, please help me?

Hi !
I have a problem with upgrading ROM. When I am
upgrading the error message is appeared " Error
Serial/USB port....." something like that. But the
device starts to upgrade with progress bar, and it
does not start yet just appear the upgrade message.
After error message the Program A shutdown itself
without restart to upgrade again. I don't know what to
do? And I unplug it from its cradle and try to
softreset and hardreset. I hope that it will be back
to my windows, but it still shows the upgrade message
and progress bar. And after 2 or 3 hours the screen
become black and white horizontal zebra. How can I
restore to my pocket pc 2002?
Best reguard,

You have to use SD card with a card reader/writer to load the ROM nbf file on the card .. the chances are good that you didn't loose the boot loader

Hope !
It mean my XDA doesn't die yet. I've read this forum for a few days and I found the advice for rescue my XDA, and you show me the key so I'm very happy. The program is XDArit v1.02, and I have MMC 256MB but I didn't buy a Card reader yet. I'm not sure that MMC can do. The instruction in that topic is not clear for me, so would you mind if I need some details for doing this from you.
Thank you in advance,

I didn't use MMC card for ROM flashing before, so I can't confirm it works.
Use XDAtools instead if XDRit. Cope the .nbf file to the SD card then go to the boot loader (soft reset while holding power)

Thank you very much for your reply imediately.
The XDATools that I've downloaded, it doesn't work properly because the message is "Missing RAPI.dll". Where can I get that file?

install activsync

Oh ! I forgot my pc doesn't have ActiveSync. So it was missing. Thank you very much I will install it. :lol:

Flashing prob through MC

(sorry if its posted before)
Actually the prob is that i can flash through my pc perfectly .. but when i try flashing through Memory card it fails ( no file found and goes to tricolor) i have tried formating the card iv tried using 3 different cards a 256MB , 4GB and a 8BG .. but no luck with any dont know whats wrong ,
an i want to try a few new roms which are only available in MC flashing flavour

i neeed help 27 views an no reply yet

two things...
1. make sure the charge is more than 30 %
2. put the rom file in the root and should be named BLACIMG.NBH

I'm having the same problem as itschemistry, and unfortunately your answer isn't helping me either, drgopoos: my battery is fully charged, the rom file is named exactly BLACIMG.nbh, but on boot screen the message 'no image found' flashes up, and then leaves me with no option but to soft reset. I suspect I don't completely understand where my storage card's root folder is, so advice on that will hopefully solve my (and itschemistry's) problem.
If all else fails, I'll have to flash using my PC.
Bit of help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

You have already stated that you are following the proper procedure below. Correct?
* Rename RUU_Signed.nbh to BLACIMG.NBH and copy it to your Storage Card
* Go to bootloader screen
* A messages will popup, push power button to start flashing or Volume down to cancel
Have you read through the thread provide by deepakjohn above?
This above thread solve your problem? Let us know!

I had the same prob.
Tried with the Transcend card that came (8gb HCSD)
Also tried with a Kingston 4gb HCSD with no luck.
Finaly tried with a Kingston 2gb SD (no HC) and it worked fine.
Looks like you need to get a supported mem card as advised above.

yeah, i followed the whole procedure, but still i got the message 'no image found'.
i've now given up and flashed via USB instead a little later.
and apologies for not finding the thread that deepakjohn provided, i was searching in the wrong part of the forum. i did read it after it was provided, and i'm sure it would have helped in some way, but as mentioned i gave up trying to flash via MC.
good luck to everyone else.

SD card not found ..

Hi
I just got my HD2 that my uncle got for me. I have been playing with the phone for about an hour and decided to watch the Transformers movie. To my surprise when I launch the icon, I get the message "media file not found". I checked to see if there was a microSD installed, and found that there was one.
Next I went to >settings > SD card & phone storage to see what was listed, and under the SD Card section is says "No SD card"!
Can someone please explain why this is so?
Also, I did try another sd card from another phone I have, and got the same "no sd card" listed.
I pray to god that this is not a fault with the phone, since it was picked up at a store today.
Thank you

What have you installed on your phone?

nothing, i was just setting up the phone.

i would take the cover off and press the red button its called a soft reset it wont erase anything its almost like restarting your computer if it still doesnt show up than i'd consider a hardreset which will erase data or reflashing a rom.
Are you In Euro or US?
Are You using a ROM?

I saw a yellowish like bottom next to the sd card slot and thought it might be a reset, and and pinned pressed it. Dont see any red button. The reset restarted the phone, but no luck.
I am in the US.
Not sure what you mean by "using a ROM".
Haven't done any sort of custom updates nor anything of that nature.

well its hard to tell the exact problem with your phone but i would suggest using Touch X Rom (there are others too i have had best experience with this one) it makes your phone run very nicely check out the thread on my signature and if your interested there is a guide in my signature as well for flashing your phone.

Is that going to void the warranty? are you sure this might fix the phone not recognizing an SD card.

dont quote me but i think if you flash back to the original rom you will be okay but its something you should research and look into i would think that it would fix it unless there is something physically wrong with your phone or sd card. Do you have any spare ones lying around you can try?
By the way the loss of sd card happend to me once when i installed TomTom that why i asked what you installed.

Spare of what? a phone or another sd card? I did try another sd card, but the phone didn't read it. FLashing the ROM seems complicated, I checked your guide and it looks like a whole bunch of things I got to do.

hmm well you can always try a hard reset, do you have all of your contacts synced or backed up?

is your phone connected to your computer now? in other threads people report they lose there sd card when its plugged into the computer

I just notice that my mac is reading and showing the SD card from the phone. I am able to see the files that are on the card and able to play the transformers movie on my iMac.
strange isn't!

Yes! you are correct, I disconnected the phone from the computer, and the sd card now shows on the phone.
Guess, problem solved.
About the flashing, you think I will be better performance from the phone?
thanks again for all your help.

good to hear im glad it worked, yeah i was totally impressed and glad i flashed to Touch X Rom Read the thread and you'll see that many agree! I'm not an expert by any means but i would do a search and see if you even can with a mac you might need to use a diff computer or use a diff guide

Cool, I will look into it ... cheers

Hey Jimmy,
Would any of those custom roms allow me to unlock the phone?

not quite sure try using the search thread tool and see if anyone else was able to accomplish this

This is from the phone. Does everything look ok to begin the ROM updates. You said that the HSPL2 is the first thing to flash. what's the next step after?
Info:
Software info from HTC HD2
- OS version : 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
- Manila version: 2.5.20121412.1
- ROM version: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
- ROM date: 02/22/10
- Radio version: 2.08.50.08_2
_ Protocol version: 15.34.50.07U

i assume ur using a pc to do this
Download hspl2 ->install
Download task 29-> flash (this erases all data)
Download ROM make sure its T-Mobile US Compatible the one on my signature is ->install
To install make sure your computer is properly configured to active sync on a pc then run setup on pc and it will prompt the flash on your phone.
Once hspl2 is flashed power the phone off hold the volume down and end key and if you get the tricolor screen you did it correct.

I runned the hspl2 setup from my laptop running windows xp pro and the program gave this error:
"CRITICAL ERROR
Flow: 00000001
Error code: 00000002
Description: USB connect failed!"
Any ideas here?

Unlocking SD

Im Tired Of Restarting My Phone Because It Keep Freezing. Im Trying to Unlock My SD Card. I Don't Have A Nokia Phone Laying Around And I Tried Going To A Location Phone Store, They Just Act Like Ass Hole. I was thinking about using Xbmod CAB but i dont know what the steps are anyone mind helping me out,
I have a Sandisk 8 Gig.
Pls Help.

Does Anyone One Know How To Use The Xbmod Cab to unlock SD.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286511
Check this link...have you got mango?

Yes i have mango.

The process is fairly simple, however, I doubt it will solve your freezing problems.
Once you have Mango, send a DEV_STORAGELOCK .CAB to your phone using the Cab Sender, the process also installs the .cab, so when it is completed and the phone restarts and the transfer is checked, you will have a tile with Storagelock (I know, the name is somewhat misleading). That is the program that will unlock your card when used. You have to remember though that the unlock will work only until you restart your WP7, as it locks your card again and you will have to unlock it every time you want to use it.

Thanks I Got That Step Down. I Want to unlock my whole SD card. I sent the 8_extraportion but i cant unlock it i keep getting "Fail Toggling Card".

From my experience, most freezing and glitches comes from incompatible cards. I think other users had problems of that nature and reported certain brands to fail or cause problems during or after install or update.
I installed the DEV_STORAGELOCK .cab first, hard reset from startup, rather than 'about' menu, unlock, then sent the partition cab, another hard reset. Check the 'about' in settings, it will tell you if the partitioning has been successful.
Try the whole process again. Can't say I ever had the same error message before, so not sure how to proceed.

don't try to put an 8Gb partition onto an 8Gb sd card, or you will leave no room for mango to work and you will get errors.
So you need to send extrapart-remove.cab to get rid of 8gb partition
Put a 1 Gb partition on it, unlock the storage then use your pc to resize and format your sd

I sent the 1g_extrapart. How do I resize it on PC?

download easeus partition master
find your sd on the screen by plugging it in and clicking refresh (arrows), your sd should show up as disk 2 or 3 and should have two sections FAT32 and unformatted.
right click on the unformatted section and choose delete then click on "apply"(or tick) button above
right click on your 1 gb FAT32 partition and chose resize
move the slider(click and hold on the separating bar between the two partitions) to increase the size to the whole volume then click apply
right click on the volume again and choose format primary,FAT32, 32kb sectors then apply.
That should do it.

I Love You Such Much In A Friendly Way My SD Card Is Unlock And I Have The Full Size. You The Best Help. And Also @enigma1nz Thank For Helping Me Out.
Thanks For Helping Me Out.
