Hi I just killed my bootloader and just read http://xda-developers.com/jtag/
anyone else has succeed using this method?
please share more experiences before i open my Xda O2
also i search lil bit more deep on the net and found this doc on how to built the ByteBlaster
http://www10.brinkster.com/nsfreecore/Build%20your%20own%20ByteBlaster!.htm
which one is good? ByteBlaster or Xilink ? or both are the same?
TIA
other option
Hi,
Probably your best bet is: http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2079
Only if this fails I would start to think about JTAG.
hmm my xda is really dead no bootloader at all,
i put on the cradle with power
Usb detected as USB Device not recognized
trying the bootloaderfix -> failed, nothing happened :|
I think its the JTAG way
is the simpliest JTAG cable download with only 5 resistors and db25 can help?
just like the one on http://openwince.sourceforge.net/jtag/iPAQ-3600/
this simpliest JTAG schematic:
http://openwince.sourceforge.net/jtag/iPAQ-3600/images/interface.png
or do we really need to build ByteBlaster/ Xilink board?
W4XY, please let me know
TIA

Ah my mistake. I confused the byteblaster with the bootblaster (another tool to write bootloaders).
About the interface I'm not sure. I would think that it should work with the simple one. Mostly because the iPAQ and XDA are similar enough. The more complex interfaces are a bit better because they do clean voltage level conversion. I suspect that the reason the simple interface works is because 3.3V is also seen as 1 for a 5V parallel port.
I've used a ByteBlaster cable. If you try the simple one let us know if it works.
I thought that I read somewhere that if the SD Card had the bootloader on it, the PocketPC would try and boot from the SD Card. Am I wrong?
I haven't tried it, but how else does the Manufacture restore a dead rom?
It seems that it should be able to use an alternate boot device if the first one fails.

You can only boot from SD if a working OS is running. Now it is possible that PocketPC still works with a dead bootloader, and then you can reflash the bootloader in a number of ways. However if both are dead also the manufacturer will have to use jtag or other incircuit means to reflash the device. Normally this happens in the factory or with specific personalization hardware. The XDA has no backup boot ROM.
Hiya,
I just opened my XDA, wow looks like jungle for me! lil bit hard for newbie
well i read about a small patch for Jtag,
http://xda-developers.com/jtag/
"...I created a small patch to version 0.4 that takes care of flipping the bit just before erasing and writing of the flash. You can download the patch here"
download the patch where?
Thanks in advance

Where can i download the patch for jtag 0.4
Hi,
Where can i download the patch for jtag 0.4?
or how can i access to the cvs version of jtag 0.4 with the poke command.
thanks
cvs version
Hi,
Sorry for not getting back to this, currently at CCC working on some other stuff.
The CVS version can be found at http://openwince.sf.net
or more precisely here: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=52603
The patch will be there latest next week.
patch
thanks for your answer.
i finally got access to the cvs server and will try it monday with teh xilinx cable
have a nice time at the CCC ;-)

Any one can help me on this issue, please?
Hi experts,
I tried to setup the XDATools. To test it I downloaded the current ROM (SX56 PPC2002) and tried to flash it back.
The following error apears in a dos box:
"ERROR: 'C:\tools\XDATools\source\GetConnectionType.dll' does not
exist (2)
ERROR: GetConnectionType - Unbekannter Fehler
error getting connectiontype"
The PROGRAMME A starts, but reports that the ROM image was not found.
Please help
