ROM - Bring life to a Dead SX56

Here's the situation:
Siemens SX56. (AT&T) (wanting to use w/T-Mobile)
2 days ago, I updated the SX56 ROM with the 1.1 update from the Siemens website, via USB.
Successful. No problems.
Yesterday, I tried to load the great XDA 1.1 ROM.
Began the update via USB, ActiveSync,
then I 'lost connection' about a minute or 2 into the update.
I'm unable to re-establish connection.
Now, the SX56 is hung on "Upgrading..this may take 5 min...."
I have concluded that I must use an SD card now.
I have an SD card.
I have Wallaby Bootloader v5.15
I don't think it will do me any good to copy the CE+BOOT TO SD,
since it doesn't work.
My PC experience tells me to:
1. Format the SD card, and make it bootable.
2. Put the file XDArit.exe on the SD card.
2. Put the files from the XDA 1.1 ROM on the SD card.
3. Boot the SX-56 to the SD Card.
4. Launch XDArit.exe OR start.bat.
BUT, as I've discovered, this isn't a PC.
And also, it seems like the instructions on the Wallaby Bootloader
are geared for making a backup, and like an idiot, I did not make a backup before starting.
And when I have tried to run the XDArit from my PC, it finds the SD card,
and wants a NB1 file, (and I have to change file type to a NBF file, because I don't have a NB1 file)
but when I try to save it to the SD card, I get an error 'Failed to open device'. (but my XP machine sees, reads and writes to the SD card from explorer just fine.)
If anyone could help me shift my 'PC' thinking into the XDA way of thinking, I would be most thankful. What am I missing here?
Thank you very much!

u should read carefully other thread linked this prob,
u dont need to rename nbf to nb1, just using xdarit to write sd card, use nbf file in wince box and/or bootloader (think dont need to overwrite the bootloader), go to boatloader n choose restore SD
before doing that, batt must full

[Q] Downloading from the Opera Browser or Internet Explorer

When I try to download software from the HTC website from my phone, it comes up with a username and password so I can't download it. By the way, I can't download it from my PC and then put it on my phone, as the software must be downloaded from the phone.

download to your PC, copy to an sdcard and transfer to phone.

Thanks but I have a normal SD card and not a Micro SD. Do you have any other suggestions?

if you connect the device in activesync mode, you can transfer files through windows explorer into the phone's internal storage.
still, i can't help but wonder, what it is you want to download from htc that requires an account and what is supposed to be opened on the phone (besides maybe a few hotfixes that, depending on your rom, might not be necessary)

[Q] Reverting back to Windows Mobile

Hi Folks
Im trying to revert my windows mobile back to windows as im having too much trouble with the version of android which a friend did for me a while back.
Anway for some weird reason my PC wont recognise my phone during the sync stage, so does anyone know how to revert it back? My friend actually installed the android IOS direct to my phone and not SD card?

To flash via USB, you need to start your phone into bootloader (turn off, turn back on pushing 2 buttons at one time, volume down plus power), and only then connect to the PC. This should work if you had done this before for other purposes (means all drivers are in your system).
As another option, you can flash the Windows Mobile ROM of your choice using the SD card method.

do you have active syn installed or the win7 version make sure sync via usb is unchecked.
if still having troubles you already have hspl because you have android so download the windows mobile rom you would like to use, bearing in mind if you chose a stock rom it will remove hspl and the radio you have and will flash back to stock
if you want a custom rom its simple grab your self a micro sd card less than 8 gig my 4gig has always worked fine, download the rom you want extract using 7zip, look for the file that will be about 150mb in size and the file name ends in .nbh grab that file rename it to LEOIMG.nbh place it on you sd card put the card in your phone turn youre phone on holding volume down button until a grey screen comes on the phone and follow the instructions to flash it

[Q] Samsung i8000 (omnia2) android cm6new rom

I have an Omnia 2 wm 6.5 professional and my PC with windows XP.
I've tried install the CM6NEW ROM Version 6 in my internal memory(storage with 8Gb) many, many times, but i cannot do that.
The auto instalation worked right for the SD external card but for my internal memory not.
I did what was explained on the README.txt file...
"3b. To install on internal storage - rename sd_ms.cpio.gz to sd.cpio.gz, but You MUST have partitions created earlier properly (fat32, ext4, swap)!"
... and until created the startup.txt file but after when I clicked on haret.exe in root of internal memory, the screen stop in the message "Android on Omnia II Loading..."
what is happening ?

If you want to install Android to your internal storage, you should use an Ubuntu OS instead of Windows XP to make partitions.

Sorry for my slow answer.
I don't need of Linux OS to make Android work in internal memory. I just changed "mmcblk0p2" to "mmcblk1p2" on the line below, in startup.txt file:
Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 init=/init"
The problem now is that the folders Android, .android_secure and LOST.DIR are created in SD externa card root and not in internal memory root.
Exist a way to change these folders to root of internal memory card ?
Thanks.

move to twister 2!!!
