I had an XDA Asia version. Bootloader version 5.17. My PC has WinXP SP1.
I want to backup my original ROM before I can load it with other intersting stuff from this excellent XDA developper site. My steps:
1. I used XDARit and write the wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 to a MMC card.
2. I put it in my XDA and do a bootloader reset. My XDA lead me to the patch menu as expected.
3. I insert another MMC Card (64MB) and dump the CE ROM to the card.
4. I inserted the MMC Card back to the card reader and click [READ FROM SD CARD] button of XDArit. XDArit told me that "in correct signature" and DID NOT write the ROM content from the MMC card to my harddisk file.
5. I looked at the XDArit window showing the card bytes and did not see "HTC$WALLABY", rather it show something "FAT". Seems that XDA DID NOT write anything to the card. But also seemed that XDA DID write something to the card as it become unformatted (can not be read by Windows Explorer, whilst before it ca read the card folders and files).
Can someone tell me somehint to back up my ROM. Because I do not dare to upgrade my XDA without backing up my original ROM.
I read thru this forum and seemed that the possible problems are:
- Incompatible driver of WinXP SP1 => XDArit can not read properly?
- Some new trick of the 5.17 bootloader with the rom patch tool can not "cheat"?
- USB 2.0 problem (but my PC used USB 1.1)
- XDArit problem (but I tried both old and new XDArit with no success)
It seems that the XDA did write something to the MMC card but XDArit can not see these.
Please someone help. :lol:
I really want to play my ROM with lot of new things on this site, but dare not until I can back up and restore my current original ROM.

PS. I used "Flash Mate" card reader (4 in 1).
Please any one advise your solutions... I really want to play with my ROM, but before I can back it up.

Dear Quan,
More detail, can you contact to me
I have been using XDA for 11 months now together Samsung i700,
Used the same OS-Windows XP 1sp, Office 2003 beta in IBM Netvista 2.4
Upgraded Diff. ROM - this moment "WM -cooked ROM 2003" :wink:

Hi Van,
Glad to see you are from Vietnam also. I have XDA just for 15 days. I love it very much. I also had Nokia 9210, but now I throw it somewhere in my home and did not even bother to find where it is.
As noted, I could not backup my current ROM. Something wrong in the middle but I did not know why. I have just tried last night on Win2000... Unsuccessfully. The symptom is the same.
- My XDA backed-up its ROM to the card and message me that "back up successfully".
- But when I inserted the card to the card reader and use XDArit, it seems that the card was not written by the XDA as I always saw something "FAT" in the window of XDArit, not something "HTC$WALLABY..." as described in this forum for an XDA image file signature.
- That's why when I choosed "read from SD card", XDArit always tell me that "incorrect signature" and stop.
- For sure that XDA did write something to the card because after XDA writing, I could not read the card thru the OS Explorer anymore (unless I re-format it).
I have tried on WinXP SP1, on Win2000 Pro but... the same symptom.
Tomorrow I will buy a new card reader and try again. If not successful, I will buy a new SD card and try and try and try... again until I can back up my ROM
I need to back it up before I can try many other interesting stuffs from this forum. First time I saw such an open-minded forum with many high-techies who willing to help like this forum.
Share me some hints please. I can not wait longer. :evil:

Need to check:
Which version Active sync (best 3.7)
Which version XDARit (best old version)
Downgrade Boot loader version 5.17 to 5.15 better for bootloader SD method
SD Card better than MMC
Windows XP better than 98 versions
I think that
The easy way to upgrade your XDA-ROM: run .EXE file on your PC synch with your XDA

1. Download and read the upgrade instructions (528KB)
2. Download the Radio Stack Upgrade v4.21 (1.54MB)
3. Download the Radio Unit Upgrade v3.17.03 (14.9MB)
The best Option:
From JEFF you can download
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/
Steps:
1. Full recharged battery
2. Back up your data
3. Soft reset your XDA
4. Sync to your PC
5. Plug your AC adaptor to Cradle
6. Run ROM.EXE in your PC
7. Total time about 5 minutes
8. Completed
9. Unplug your XDA from Cradle
10. Hardreset (2 times- interval 1 minute)
I can read more detail in your PC on the process upgraded
Do not be afraid, you can do it!
Good luck!
Hi Van,
To reply:
- I am using ActiveSync 3.7.
- Can you send me XDArit old version. By email to [email protected]
- Yes, I tried both SD and MMC. But no results.
- Never use Win98.
My questions:
- How can I get bootloader 5.15 image (.nb0 file, right?) to downgrade
- Or the EXE upgrade from O2 UK site include this 5.15 bootloader?
- I have also made 3.17 ROM from Jeff's kitchen. Do you know that this Jeff EXE include the 5.15 bootloader?
- Your advice is to upgrade using EXE from O2 UK? Or from Jeff's kitchen?
- Have you ever tried backup/upgrade using the bootlader way, any experience? Please share.
I am just afraid I did something wrong and can not revert my XDA back to the original status!!! A bit scared.
BTW your XDA original bootloader is 5.17 or 5.15? If 5.17 then please tell me how you downgrade it from 5.17 to 5.15?
Thanks very much for your helps

@ Quan
Fist time upgraded ROM I have the same feeling
For PPC 2002 no problem (6 times upgraded)
For WM 2003 Test ROM 4.00.01 some bugs- my XDA had loosed phone function 3 days :evil: but in the end everything is OK (advice from this forum)
http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgradedownload/0,,170,00.html
Try it and you can say so easy! :lol:
Anyway you can call me before...
OK I have the tmo PPC its already got 2003 on it and I know the loader is 5.15, other info that might be needed.
ROM 4.01.16 ENG
Radio 6.25.02
OK I want to get my own cooked ROM onto this, I know I know use the SD card method, well I don't have one and after getting this thing can't get one for a while either. I have the cradle that it comes with and have put software into etc, I have tried some unlock ROM software to find it didn't work etc etc. after cooking ROM and running it it tells me in a DOS window:
Error getconntiontype - An Existing connecitonwas forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting connectiontype
so basicly I need to find a way to get this into my PPC via activesync or something. sorry for bad post a little tired but I think people will understand and be able to help me or tell me I need SD card and wait until I get one.
I think you can use xdatools to flash the rom direct from xda memory, choose the nbf file as source then choose the xda device memory as destination from the drop down box in destination section.
OK tried that but can't access the PPC with xdatools so that won't work. thats for trying though.
TMO ROMs are known to resist exe flashing ... use the SD method and you are lucky to have the boo loader 5.15
Well glad to know that my boot loader is a good one, now to find a SD card I can borrow to do this with, should I use a 32 or 64 or does it really matter as long as it holds the file.
64 megabytes is needed really, I have had a problem with 32 meg, it looks like it is programmed but when i flash it there is always a problem.
macgyver33 talked about having a 2003 version. Can anyone tell me where to get it? I mean european one (900-1800 MHz). Or at least the PDA part of it? And yet haven't found quiet an exact explanation of "SD method" - any suggestions? Thanx a lot!
Bootloader v.5.17 locked
BL v.5.17 + TMO ROM. I am not able to downgrade the bootloader or change ROM.
I've tried using:
Cooked ROM.EXE - No way
(Error: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Error getting connectiontype)
XDA OS Image Tool - No way
(Error: Same as above)
ITSTools - pnewbootloader - No way
(Error: Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect)
SD Method - No way
In bootloader mode (soft-reset while pressing on/off button), I have no options: Even with an SD card with OS image inside, there's no way to start ROM download as there is no option to choose...
Any idea?
Thx
Check this thread
Thanks Biso007.
No way. My XDA doesn't load the bootloader in a proper way:
1. Inserted th SD card in his slot
2. Answered "No" to format the card
3. Soft-reset while pressing on/off button (so to enter in bootloader mode)
4. Display turns off
5. No Wallaby Bootloader screen, so no action to take...
6. Wait... Nothing.
7. I've also tried to press the "Action" button so to start the SD downloading... Nothing
8. Wait... Nothing.
6. It needs another soft-reset to exit this state (a not working bootloader mode, I suppose)
7. It turns on "normally".
Any further idea? :-(
Thanks
if I'm not wrong, I couldn't see that you ran the 5.17 patch first ... without it your device will never detect the SD file ... chech the thread again
Dear everybody,
I have also killed my 2 day old MDA compact 3 by using the PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe (Feel really frustrated about it)
It will not load windows only
IPL 1.13.0001
SPL 1.13.0001
GSM 02.49.90
OS 1.28.0.0
I've tried a lot but nothing has worked so far. Now my last resort is using XDA tools to make a bootable sd card.
Is there anyone who make a file that the artemis can use of an SD card?
I would be very much obliged!
did you do CID unlock before installing new ROM?
CID unlock is not required for flashing the PDAMobiz Powermap 1.1.2 ROM. Just make sure you follow the right instructions. I did it and you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294830&page=2
But make sure that you have synced your Outlook data on desktop as there is something wrong with restoring from backup file the PIM related info (I use Spb Backup, but seems it is same with any backup application)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295295
more info.
ianvanhaaren:
1. Please provide more info what exactly happens when you try to turn on your device.
2. What type of error you have when you try to re-flash device? At what percent it stops.
3. Connect device to USB, disable USB connection in activesync. Start mtty console, choose USB type connection (mtty attached, in case you need it).
4. type set 32 in console. send this output.
If CID area on device is corrupted, for the moment only imei-check who knows how to re-calculate this area. Even so, if device won't boot in windows it will not help. You need to connect to device thru jtag interface, in order to load modified spl into ram and perform writing into security area, to recover it. Imei-check says, they know jtag for Artemis.
It may cost you a bit of money.
If you have an option to send it to service center, do it. It would be your best choice.
Regards.
Hello,
please, if somebody has more information about bootloader commands supported by HP iPAQ hw6900 series (HTC Sable) to share on this thread with us
Will be very helpful if we can extract ROM image through the bootloader of this iPAQ
I dont know much, i know nothing indeeed, however i found somewhere a pack of files for the Wizard that were supposed to work for the sable, however they didnt, but there is this particular file, that when ran in the sable made appear a folder called "2" with an icon of a storage card and which rpely the contents of the root of the device (but for itself i mean no 2 folder inside the 2 folder lol)
I dont know if it is of some use but i definitevely want to perform a corporate install of windows in my sable and kill all that HP crap that comes in bundled
How to enter bootloader
Just press ACTION+POWER+reset with stylus and hold this combinaison for a few seconds, you'll see a screen without backlight (so you must be under bright light to see it) going into bootloader mode.
Put your device on the cradle (which I suspect you had connected it to your PC)
using mtty, connect to your USB Port (or Serial port if serial cradle)
type "password BOOTLOADER" and use "h" as an help command.
Now you can dump a ROM from Bootloader
The command should be sth like "r2sd"
Read the manual of this command "h r2sd full" and use it to dump your ROM on the SDCard
Now you can dump the raw ROM image from SD Card Reader using ntrw.exe
EDIT: going to bootloader mode seem to hard reset your device, backup FIRST!
HI Boris,
where to find the manual ETC.
A RAW ROM maens a bin file? how to convert then to something readable modifiable.... i understand that this is the main issue now.
I want to see a computer file which isn't binary based....
or a full text ROM
In fact, for me a raw ROM is a ROM-file which has been extracted from the device... The difference with a ROM-to-install is the encryption which is not present with raw dumps (to be checked).
Raw dumps can be modified and then re-updated but it needs some operations that are command-line based...
Once you got your raw ROM on SD, copy it to PC using ntrw, you have to find the correct tool to dump the content (dumprom should do the work)
Remember to keep the raw ROM as a backup, and work with a copy of the raw ROM.
You can also cut/paste the file into parts (OS, EXTROM...).
Logically, if you got the original ROM file (the german one) and the same taken from the device (raw ROM), we should be able to modify some existing tools to work with 69xx ROM files and cook some ROMs.
in bootloader mode: type
"h COMMANDNAME full" should show full manual of COMMANDNAME.
To have more informations, once you know if your bootloader has d2s or r2sd ... command name, search for it on wiki and you should have more informations and examples on the specific command.
I need to extract the ROM from one of these as well. I am getting into bootloader and trying to dump the rom to 256MB SD as follows...
USB>
USB>
USB>password BOOTLOADER
HTCSPass.< YHTCEUSB>d2s
SD:Waiting for card insert.........
CMD3 for SD, it's OK, ready to get RCA from response.

d.RCA=B368

d.busWidth=1
Total card size=F400000
SDCARDD2S+,cStoragePlatformType=FF
Then the device just sits there with Cal Checksum on the screen. I get no response from NTTY or device until I restart.
I read on another thread that it might be locked. I also read that there may be a password to get into another level of access. See http://mobilitytoday.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15217 for details.
I have to get this cracked as I want to restore my good any network ROM onto a network specific device.
Anyone got any other ideas?

The checksum calculation is a long process, try to wait longer...
Anyway your SD should have been written... have you tried to read it?
EDIT: Does it show ******** or direct checksum calculation? (how long is the process)
I let it run for over an hour the first time but that was with a 1GB SD card and I understand that it would take longer with 1GB.
I haven't actually looked to see if there is anything on the card(s) as I just assumed it hadn't worked. Other threads say that the device gives you progress or at least some response from the MTTY to say it was done.
I have to shoot to a meeting but will try again when I get back...

yes, nice but does not work in 69xx's bootloader. while executing d2s command the device loops on "Calculating checksum" point and nothing happens even after an hour of waiting .. :-(
That is the same problem I am having. I read on another thread that dmc874 (who seems to know what he is talking about) thought it was related to the device being locked. See http://mobilitytoday.com/forum/showthread.php?p=68783
I am now trying to research the locking to see if there is anything I can do to unlock it... anyone else got any ideas?

The size of the uncompressed ROM is around 1gig because I only have 1gig sd cards to dump the ROM on.
You will probably need a 1gig or larger SD card, dim92 tried writing to a smaller card and the IPAQ doesn’t recognize it but you are welcome to give it a try on smaller cards as most of the image are 0s anyway.
Once you have written the image on to an sd card (use any of the bigrom guides using ntrw), pop it into the IPAQ and enter boot loader mode (power + joystick + reset). It should show up with “Download Sections: 1 press power to start".
Press power button and it should show “Updating radio". Let it finish and if it completed with no errors, power up to see if the mobile phone works. If it still does not work, try running the beetles radio patch now. If this too does not work, try running the LATEST rom from HP.

I have a HTC ELF 0300 it is stucking in the tri colour screen with the following
IPL: 2.26.0002
SPL:2.28.0000
i have followed the advice i found on this forum of flashing the ROM but when i try the rom update utility it comes up with error 270 about the image also i tried the mtty process but it wont open the usb port
i tried flashing the SD Card but it then says "Invalid Certificate"
i'm a total loss and totally stuck..
any help appricated
Have you really read this sticky thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721 before flashing ?
Have you used "search" function with f.e. "stuck in bootloader" before posting ?
If not, please do and you'll find very useful solutions
i have read the theads over and over again and finally worked out mtty and worked out my phone is
elf0300
tmob050
it's still in tri colour mode yet i cant find a rom for it...
i tried the nbh file flashing to the memory card
but no luck....
heelllp
Do you know if you have Elf or Elfin?
It is essential for flashing original Rom Elf: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2
Elfin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045051&postcount=1
i haave an elf (p3450) well thats what it says on my box
i cant find the orginal rom for this and i'm totally stuck
any help is greatrully recived
also i have tried CID unlocking it so i can put custom roms on it but my computer wont active sync when the phone is connected through the USB port...
Also, what did you do to get your phone stuck in bootloader in the first place?
my brother did it to my phone before i'd even had chance to use it , and i don't know what he did.....sorry x
Try this and follow the instructions exactly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347700 and report pls
i tried this yesterday at first when i pressed enter i didnt get >cmd (which is what happening now)
then when i do get it eventually after many tries it sasys
cmd55 or something failed
and stays on 0% on a gray screen
sorry if i sound stupiud.
Ok
First you connect your device, then right click on active sync icon on your computer, chose connection settings and change according to the instructions then continue with mtty.exe
i have done this
when i press enter i dont get anything come up....
yesterday i managed to get it up though and just stayed gray screen at 0%
Try again a few times making sure you didn't overlook any detail.
I just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3395787&postcount=155 possibly mtty version doesn't work
2- Another possibility is unbricker rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446242
3- gold card method (the links are dead so you should pm Dsixda)
Flash from the SD card:
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem, complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
1. Format microSD card from your computer.
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (the bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait.
Will try now and keep u updated
manny thanks x
Follow the instructions until you get cmd only, then return to the tutorial to continue
Good luck
Just an update
i downloaded the nbh file you sugested and tried both
1) flashing from the SD card by renaming file - when i do this is says checking sd contents then goes back to my bootlooder screen
2) running the romupdateutility.exe with the nbh file in the same folder it goes through then i get error 294 incorrect vender
i am unable to pm Dsixda about the gold card
i have no idea what else to try
ps: when running mtty i still get a gray screen then the bootloader screen.
Sorry to hear this, I'm out of ideas. Just some details not to miss:
try a hard reset
writing "ELF0IMG.nbh" (elf zero img and not elf o img)
google for mtty and download a few versions
Wait for an answer from Dsixda for gold card if you can't find your original rom
Creating your GoldCard
I don't remember well the procedure but you can try the following:
If you have access to a working pda or a working GPS device - PNA which is powered by WM (even modified) then you have to follow these steps:

Find an official rom from here with a ModelID which matches your device's one
Example: If your pda is an Elfin and you have ModelID ELF030000 then get the below rom from that thread.
RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BL UE_Ship.exe (T-MOBILE)

Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh, rename it to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the sd card.
Fully charge your battery, insert the sd card to your pda, enter bootloader and flash from memory card
(Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume down button)).
If everything went ok then you can use a HardSPL or a USPL to CID Unlock your phone and update the rom with one of your choice.
If you don't have a working pda use a card reader - Ubuntu (even from a LiveCD) and QMAT are required
Regards!

There is a way to use a card reader instead.
Using Ubuntu LiveCD and QMAT

Dsixda and all the members who worked on this had done a great job and it's really annoying that all their work was lost.
