Details instructions for SD card upgrade to Siemens A.30.09

Hope this helps, this is a simple process, these instructions appear long and difficult because i've added quite a bit of detail.
Prepare Everything
1 - Download and install XDATolls http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAtools
2 - Connect your PocketPC and make sure that ActiveSync is running
3 - Delete all files on your SD Card (in your pocketPC)
Extract the ROM files & get ready for the upgrade
4 - Run the .exe file you download from Siemens, this will extract the files into C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility. Don't proceed with the install, just exit it after the extract is completed.
5 - Confirm the existance of the file C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english\NK.nbf
Using XDAtools (OS Image tool) transfer the ROM onto your SD card via your PocketPC and cradle (this is a new feature)
6 - Run the XDA OS Image tool (part of XDA Tools)
7 - As your source select the file C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english\NK.nbf (directory is selected by clicking the square button with dots)
8 - As your destination select from the drop down box SD Card
9 - Click copy to transfer the file, if it fails check that ActiveSync is running & try again
Re-flash Image using Wallaby Bootloader method
** THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON YOUR POCKETPC, you have been warned, make sure you've got a backup of everything you need.
10 - Plug your PocketPC into AC power & Make sure that your SD card is in the slot on your pocketpc
11 - Using the stylus top, hold down the left hand soft-reset, then press the power button.
12 - The bootloader should find the new ROM image on the SD card, press the action button to start the load (action button been the central click of the direction button)
13 - The load process will take about 5 minutes or so
14 - Once completed, use the stylus top and press the battery disable button, leave for 5 seconds then press it again to enable the unit.
Enjoy the new ROM, note that the first bit of any audio is played at a reduced volume, this doesn't help short ring tones nor fonix voicedial. Other than that the ROM seems quick and highly stable.

very good guide: question
do you know if this will touch the RSU?

no thats the whole point of copy'ng out the nbf file is that you dont mess with the rsu

which version is better?
thank you for your reply rudegar.
What version do you recommend for a SX56?
A.30 (cooked) , 4.01 (cooked) or the one released from siemens?
I heard that 2003 have some bugs, is it true? I have ppc 2002, is it worth the upgrading to 2003?

i dident have too many problems with my xda1 when i upgraded it to 4.01
org from tmobile
dident have a single SD card ereasing issue like some people report
but nor did i really think that the os was all that different

A.30 or 4.01?
What about A.30? what are the differences between both? which is better?

Problems!!

If i want to upgrade my wallaby i get an error message in the communications procedure. I have downloaded my ROM from lumpy's kitchen and ive tried to upgrade it many times right now.
Can anyone give me an advise how i could hardflash the ROM of my device?

I think you get an communication error when trying to flash via ActiveSync.
You have to flash via bootloader....
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby
Here you get furthe rinformation about how to do it....

Stefan

Nothing yet
Ive tried to Bootload te rom, but after the message "connect your USB now" the device does not react anymore.
I have tried to run the application rom but this says that active sync does not recognize a device.
What should i do next?
Thanks for the quick respond!!

Even if i make a bacup to SD this doesnt work. There no explaination how to hard flash the device! Can you give me an advise???

What have you done exatcly, and where is the problem?
It's not really clear for me.
For Flashing via SD-Card there is no USB connection necessary....
STefan

I have tried to flash with the bootloader. When i push on the on/off putton and do soft reset i see the question "connect to USB now". If i connect and i start the rom nothing happens.
Afterwards i have tried to put the rom on my SD card. I have tried to do this OSimagetools. The pc does recognize the SD card in my wallaby. I also dont have a cardreader.
Is there a way to flash my wallaby in the bootloader-mode with the USB connection?
What do i have to do for it?
Thanks

Strange.
You should see device displays a background that consists of four equally sized vertical bars, colored (from top to bottom) white, red, green and blue. On top of this, it says:
WALLABY
Bootloader
V5.14
WAIT
After a few seconds, the WAIT is replaced by GSM OK. Both messages are in the blue bar, but have a white background.
What do you get?
What is labeld on your rear sticker of the device? (modell) ?
Stefan

Its model: PW10A1
SN: HT220cc15300
PN: 99HJ00007-00
Step 1)I have seen the horizontal bars. And its version 5.18. Ive also seen the "GSM OK"- notification.
Step1a)If i connect it afterwards to my USB nothing happens. The computer does not recognize the Wallaby.
Step2) If i hold the On/Off button i get the message "Connect to USB now" If i do this, activesync does recognize my device and i cannot install the ROM.
Step3) after step 1 i press the contacts button and i see 6 ways to backup my rom or GSM. I have backedup my GSM and ROM to SD. But this has no use for me.
Greetz,

Ok. Now I see.....
First of all, you have an totaly unknown Bootloader (5.18) to me, so i hope all steps will work....
You require a SD-Card with >= 64 MB
XDATools ftp://[email protected]/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip
Your downloaded ROM from my kitchen
step1) Boot your XDA up normal and connect via active sync (guest partnership is ok)
step2) Copy all your data of your sd-Card to your local PC otherwise all data on it will be gone
step3) Enter bootloader of your device by pressing On/Off and doing a softreset
step4) After the Message GSM OK press the Contact Button of your device
step5) Navigate with the pad to "CE+BOOT TO SD"
step6) Confirm this with the Action Key (Press the middle of the Navigate-Pad)
step7) After finishing enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
step8) Bootloader should tell you something tah OS is detected on your SD-Card
If No -> Problem
If Yes -> continue
step9) Boot your XDA up normal and connect via active sync (guest partnership is ok)
step10) Install XDATools on your PC
step11) in a dos -box (cmd) go to the directoy where osimagetool is located
step12) enter command: "osimagetool -r xdasdslot -w original.nbf"
step13) enter command: "osimagetool --register"
step14) extract the downloaded ROM using winzip
step15) Run osimagetool
step16) Select the nbf-file in the english-folder of the extracted lROM as source and XDASlot as destination
step17) After finishing enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
step18) Bootloader should tell you something tah OS is detected on your SD-Card
step19) Press Action Key to install the ROM
step20) After finishing do a hard reset
step21) Now your ROM should be installed on your device.
step22) Locate the created file original.nbf and compress it using winzip
step23) Upload the compressed file to ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Wallaby/Uploads
step24) Enjoy your new ROM
That should be alll .....
;-)

Thanks, But when i extract the rom to a folder, OS Imagetools cannot find the nbf-file. There is no nbf-file in the extracter-rom-folder. I can only find an nb-file.
There is a file called "NK" which says that its an NBF-file(properties). The file is 32MB large. I have tried to select this file (step 16), but the file is not being recognized. Even if i change the extension of the filename. The OSimage does not support this file.
I Have tried this with 3 ROM's : 2003 SE, 2003 and 2002 neither of them contain the nbf-file in the english folder.
Do you have an advice? I think i am very close right now!!
Thanks,

I have sucseeded to install 2002, but 2003 SE wont be recognized. It says its an usupported file.
Has this anyting to do with the fact that i renamed the file? If so can you tell me how to change the file back??
I have downgraded my wallaby to PPC 2002 right now.
Thanks Lumpi!!

WM2003SE couls only be installed via Exe-File. It can not be flashed with the osimagetool.

NEED to CHANGE GER ROM to WWE ROM

Okay, I bought a MDA Compact from T-Mobile 2 days ago, The Problems is that the Device is German and I Speak and Read English, Could someone walk me through to change it to English, I read so many tips and none work.
ROM-Version:1.12.2.21 GER
ROM-Datum: 11/14/05
Furmempfangerversion: 01.12.20
Protokool-Version: 4.0.13.23
ExtRom-Version: 1.12.02.106

Need to read some more, like this one:
'XDA mini (MDA compact) with German ROM to English ROM'
@ http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36002
Basically you need a WWE shipped-rom & maupgradeut_noid.
unzip the shipped-rom, put maupgradeut_noid in the same dir. as the unzipped files. Connect your magician with usb & execute maupgradeut_noid twice.
Or go for an SD-flash.
Cheers, M

Thanks
I tried that and I get a error 103: ROM IMAGE File Not Found, Thanks for that, what is the way with SD-Flash? I''l try anything....
Ulymanchild

I think you didn't extract the ROM before using the maUpgradeUT_noId file...extract the EXT file with winrar adn then in the contents use maupgrade_noid

EXT File
Okay this is what I have
MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152 and MaUpgradeUt_noID I put this all in one folder and I tried to run and still the same ROM Image Error.
I have the MaUpgradeUt_noID with the GETDEVICEDATA and the ENTERBl and still nothing, could somebody walk me through like I was a child who was born yesterday. ;-(
I don't understand the EXT File thing either when I download all these stuff from XDA website I have them in zip and I just extract them normally with XP. What am I doing wrong?

It's not that difficult:
- Unzip NL_11300_131_11200.exe (or any other shipped rom) to a folder, so you get the maupgradeut.exe etc.
- Copy the getdevicedata.exe to your Magician and execute to write DeviceData.txt
to \Windows and view with notepad
- Hexedit header to correct ID from DeviceData.txt
(probably only if using a rom from other provider)
- put maupgradeut_noid.exe in the same folder as the devicedata.txt, maupgradeut.exe etc
- run maupgradeut_noid.exe to upgrade CE image
Regards, M

I meant EXE file and not EXT file......
I think MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152 is a single EXE file with an Install shield icon.....
you have to extract it to get the ROM files
to do that download WinRAR from www.rarlabs.com...install it...
after installing winrar if you right-click on MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152.exe you have an option for etracting...extract it to a folder....now copy MaUpgradeUt_noID.ext to this folder and execute it...now you won't get the error 103
For you information ROM files have the extension .nbf....you find .nbf files inside the extracted filder
Hope you get it

Thanks
Well I want to thank all for the advice but I tried step by step and try it again and nothing ROM ERROR 120 COUNTRY I will go by a SD-Flash and try it that way if that doesn't work owell I gues I will sell it and go to england and buy me one there,,,;-(

Did you run the maupgradeut_noid twice?
The SD flash will work, just as long as you copy the first 416bytes of your own rom to the new rom.
succes, M

Ulymanchild
Hey, before selling it, read this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
This 120 country id error is easy to solve.
After you run the first time, just press "Exit" as the install wizard tell you.
After you exit from the wizard, run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe once more. This time you will not see the error again.
Hope you get it

Almost work
okay I tried what you said and I got as far as the what it's going to upgrade to put it losses the connection, what could be wrong, you gave me the best advice so far and I thank you.

I'm clueless on this point besides the usual 'try again'?
SD will work there's a nice 1.13 on the ftp -) mine) so you can always go for that approach.
Instructions:
- download the 1.13BS rom from the ftp
- get ntrw.exe & romugrade.exe from the ftp
- Download the Hexeditor from:
http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html
- get a SD-card > 64MB
- make backup of everything you want to keep from your magician & SD-card. everything will be wiped!!
- fully charge your magician
- uncheck usb connection in Act.sync on your PC
- put your magician in Bootloader (camera & power & soft-reset at the same time for a few seconds) wait till screen fades & reads 'serial v1.0x'. Screen is very dark since backlight is of.
- connect usb, now the screen reads 'usb v1.0x'
- start romupgrade on your pc
- pick the magician connection in the listbox, wces something I belief
- now a screen pops up
- type d2s in this screen
- follow progress on pc & magician
- wait till checksum finishes
- get SD from the magician & put it into a cardreader. DON'T FORMAT!!!
- put ntrw in C:\
- start a command window
- type on commandline: ntrw read myrom.nb1 [sd driveletter]:
- follow progress
- error at the end is normal
- make a copy of myrom.nb1
- open myrom.nb1 & the BS rom with the hexeditor & replace the first 416 Bytes of the BS rom with the first 416 bytes of myrom.nb1 & save it to mybs.nb1
- type on commandline: ntrw write mybs.nb1 [sd driveletter]:
error at the end is normal
- put the SD in your magician
- now it should read 'press power to flash'
- press the power button
- watch it reaches 100% - checksum will always fail
- reset & hopefully enjoy the new rom
Cheers, M

Back Error
I tried to back up my rom with romupdate.exe and when I try to pick USB it does not work only thing that showes is com2 com4 I also unchecked USB Connection on ActiveSynce and it still doesn't work so what the hell, okay I will pay some one to help me I will call the person and have them walk me thru!!!!
HELP

Seems like there's something fishy with your USB connection or your device. Best thing is to find someone nearby who has done it before & use his/her equipment .
Guess you're not getting it to work by talking through.
Terribly sorry, M

Could it Be
I just found out that my device is a HTC Charmer the new one that came out in December and it does not work like magician...So I have to try something else

You lucky bastard,
There is progress in that field. So keep looking.
Cheers, M

Can I try the first procedure OLTP described in the begining
I have a Qtek S110 with a French ROM and I need the English version.
I have downloaded MagicianRadio_1.13.00_maupgrade and Qtek_WWE_1.13 from the ftp site. Are there any special precautions I have to be aware of?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Sidi

Make a backup of your existing rom, in case you might want to fall-back for warranty issues etc. & a separate copy of the ext-rom cabs in case of provider settings etc.
& make a back-up of all pim data as everything will be lost & programs need to be reinstalled. Don't forget to mark your provider settings for gprs access, they're usually located in one of the ext-rom cab-files. You can write them down too.
For the rest it is fairly simple, connect usb & execute the maupgradeut_noid twice.
regards, M

Problem with Xplode wm6.11 Upgrade

Hello
PPC: Blue Angel T-Mobile GER
Rom: Xplode Wm6.00.00.WWE
Radio:1.15.00
Protocol: 1337.45
From this rom i want to upgrade to Wm6.1 from Xplode.
My Upgrade steps:
1. Bootloader
2.The ppc shows "Serial"/"Usb" and "v2.05"
2.2 Kill Active sync
3. starting MaUpgradeUt_noID
4.MaUpgradeUt_noID gives no informations about the current Rom /upgrade rom
5.Next
6. Error 150
What i have to do?
Plx help me
Sry for my bad english!
Thx to all

It must be an OS problem
Try using Windows XP rather than using Vista.
I got the same problem with my XDA IIs,
I tried it in Windows XP and successfully Updated to WM 6.1

i have Windows XP no Vista

Give it a try without killing ActiveSync on PC.
1. Put device in bootloader mode
2. Put device in the cradle
3. Start update program (wait till 100% and do not remove device out the cradle)
4. When update has finished, hard reset the device
- If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, EITHER:
Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right
OR press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
- If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66:
Quickly press "Record" & "Windows Media" before the versions appear at bottom right EITHER
OR press "Power" & "Windows Media" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.(“Enable KITL” must be NO, “Clean Registry Hive” must be YES, “Format Storage” must be YES)
- If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, use "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.
- If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66, use "Windows Media" and the "Record" buttons.
Note: The "Record" button moves up and down the menu and the "Camera" button toggles Yes/No. When you're done, press the button in the middle of the D-Pad to continue booting.
- Press the "Mail" button. A white screen will show for 30 seconds, while it is clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing
When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...
(if removed earlier) Put back your SD Card before you do the setup. This way the installation from the SD will continue after you have done the setup
5. Your upgraded ROM is now running!
