http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 (for Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 users only!!!)
For users with Wallaby Bootloader 5.15 version and below
The foremost and most important thing to do when upgrading or downgrading your Pocket PC’s ROM is by backing it up on an empty SD Card using the bootloader method, this process is achieved by accessing your PPC’s pre-installed Wallaby Bootloader (hold on/off key then press the soft-reset button). When a “GSM OK” message appear, simply click on the contact button, and it will bring you to a menu that looks like this:
Boot -> SD
CE -> SD
Boot+CE -> SD
About
Exit
Select any of the two options (CE -> SD, Boot+CE ->SD) and press the action button (rocker key under you unit’s display screen) to start backing up your ROM or your unit’s ROM together with the Bootloader to your SD card. When your systems is done backing up, exit and remove the SD card from your Pocket PC and insert it to your SD reader/writer in order to transfer the currently backed-up ROM and Bootloader file to your Personal Computer using the XDArit program.
• Open the XDArit program and choose Read from SD card, mark both
check boxes for Bootloader and Windows CE
• Create a file name for your bootloader (e.g. c:\test.nb0) and ROM (e.g.
Windows CE c:\test.nb1)
• When you are done backing up, go to
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/ and cook a desired ROM
under zipped NK.nb1 format.
• Once you’ve finished downloading the NK.nb1, immediately copy the
downloaded ROM to an empty SD card through your SD card
reader/writer using the XDArit program .
Here are the steps on how to write the ROM to your SD Card using XDArit:
• Open XDArit and click write to SD card
• Select header 1K and check Windows CE
• Under Windows CE, browse for the NK.nb1 file that you downloaded and
select it (Please make sure that the only checked option is Window CE)
• Click OK!, and it will start writing the NK.nb1 to your SD card
(approximately 5mins)
• Remove the SD card and plug it in to your Pocket PC
(If a message “format your SD card” appears on your Pocket PC screen
just select no)
• Again, boot your Pocket PC to Wallaby Bootloader; it will automatically detect the ROM on your SD CARD.
• Just carefully follow the instructions that appears on your screen and
everything will be just fine.
For users with Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 version
Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 is such a pain in the ass! But, like any problem there is always a way around it. Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 as many of us know is incorporated with a key checker, thus it will automatically check and verify your SD Card for any special written key before getting full access on your PPC’s ROM and Bootloader. In order to bypass the key checker, simply download the Wallaby patch and write it to an empty SD card using the XDArit program (remember to choose option 1k under header). Insert the SD card to your Pocket PC and go to you PPC’s bootloader (press and hold power Button, then press Soft Reset) and wait for a diagnostics message to appear. Upon seeing the Diagnostics message, immediately press action key (core of the rocker keys under the PPC’s display screen) and it will bring you to a new window that looks like this:
Boot -> SD
CE -> SD
Boot+CE -> SD
Restore SD
About
Exit
If you don't have an extra SD card, then just simply remove the SD card on your XDA without exiting from the window. Insert the SD Card again to your SD Reader and format it. Then write the file NK.Nb1 to your SD card (under header 1K). In any case, that you don't have NK.nb1, you could simply go to http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/ and cook a desired ROM under zipped NK.nb1 format which is about 14-15mb.
Follow these simple steps on how to properly write and install NK.nb1 on the SD card to your Pocket PC
• Open XDArit and click Write to SD card
• Select header 1K and check Windows CE
• Under Windows CE, browse for the NK.nb1 file that you downloaded or
want to install and select it
• Please make sure that the only checked option is Window CE
• Then click ok!, and you will see that it will start writing the NK.nb1 to
your SD card (approximately 5mins)
• After it's done writing, Remove the SD card and plug it to your XDA
• Then select Restore SD and press action or the action or rocker key
• A message will again appear asking whether you want to abort or
continue, just select continue and it will proceed with the installation and
flashing
• It is important that you never interrupt your Pocket PC during the
installation process, wait until it finishes writing the ROM
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Improper flashing can lead to an unusable Pocket PC
I will not be held liable to any damages on your Pocket PC!!!
Hello,
my wallby version is 6.22
is there any way I can bypass the key checker?
Thanks.
I haven't gone as far as bootloader 6.22 so it would be best to ask someone else regarding this issue.
how can you write these files to SD card without a dedicated SD card reader on your pc? ive always used my XDA or SPV and windows explorer to read/write to it. do i need additional files?
I got problem when I tried to pass wallaby 5.17, I can't got boot-sd, ce- sd etc, It was auto go to diagnotics menu, anyone can help?

Just using Windows Explorer won't put the ROM image on the card in the correct "raw" format (it needs to be on the card without the directory info to be recognized by the XDA as a ROM image).
Look at XDATools. This program will put the image onto the SD card while it's in the XDA - then you boot to the bootloader to install onto the XDA itself. This method is faster than XDArit and you don't need a separate card reader (but you still need an SD/MMC card >= 64MB).
The solution to the 5.17 bootloader diagnostics problem is already posted on this thread. Please read the instructions carefully on how to go about this problem and also make sure to download the wallaby patch whose shortcut is at the very top of the thread!
Can this thread please be made sticky? It's the only one that actually has the right info in it that's readable. Or at least copy the first post in this thread into the bootloader patch web page.
I am glad to be of help!!!
Please feel free to post questions regarding this thread in case you're having difficulties following the instructions I posted, and I'll do my best in addressing your concerns...
I'll also be coming up with an XDAtools 101 for bootloader flashing by next week or early next month!!!

Try pressing the power and the soft reset button continuously until it brings you to the diagnostics menu. If this thing doesn't work, then I don't know what will...
I haven't tried it, but maybe you can hold down the power switch while pressing the HARD reset button (first press turns off power, then hold the power switch and press the hard reset again to hopefully go into the bootloader).
Does flashing the ROM also flashes the Radio Stack?
Flashing ROM using the bootloader method does not automatically flash the Radio Stack.
Great Tutorial. The best I've found and this is the first time I've upgrade the ROM for my Qtek1010.
But for the Bootloader 5.15 version I select Header 3.5k (as you said) it doesn't boot the SD so I have to use the 1k header (before 5.17) and it works fine.
Again thanks for the great tutorial
Hello I have a T-Mobile Pocket PC and i followed the wizard on how to unlock and I got a error at the end of using the unlock file. I did the XDA developer download that it said successful then it went blank and now it is blank again. The light is green so i think i still have power on the phone. But it wont turn on. I tried a hard/soft reset and nothing. I did notice that I was using a usb cable and I know i wasn't suppose to. Is there anything I can do to bring life back to it ?
Ok now I am at a screen
It gives me
CE ROM TO SD
BOOT TO SD
CE+BOOT TO SD
GSM ROM TO SD
CE +GSM TO SD

Looks like you have the 5.17 Bootloader that causes problems....
Try this:
Go to a DOS prompt and CD to where you have extracted the XDATools ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip
Type 'pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0' to write the Wallaby 5.15 boot loader to the device.
The output looks like this:
D:\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader_40116 bl515.nb0
Copying D:\XDAtools\binaries\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll

hi
i had rom 6.1 and flashed ahen series rom 6.5 (AHEN 6.5-E6h FULL )
everything was fine and after finishing the flash i got a error message device start up failed due to sudden loss of power "yes" to continue. i gave yes but it is not loading it again says storage memory is low delete some files or move to storage card other programs may not start but could not delete or move .
most of the program are not loaded. it shows storage memory is 16.22 and in use 16.22 phone is not working inculding active sync.
can some one help me ? to sync my phone to pc .
First try hard reset. I think you have to flash again the rom. Since active sync is not working you'll have to flash from memory card
Flash from the SD card:
1. turn down the phone
2. take your sd and sim card out of the elf
3. copy a rom file (the .nhb file) to the root of the SD card and name it "ELF0IMG.nbh" exactly.
4. now insert the sd card back in the phone.
5. while holding the camera button, insert the mini usb cable, wait for a while a white screen will ask you if you want to flash the new image..
hi
thanx for the quick reply
when i press the camera button it says "error opening the shortcut or locating the target file name" and then when i connect the mini usb it is asking connection type 1. active sync 2. disk drive 3. internet sharing.
i did not choose anything but active sync is selected by default and i was holding the camera button for few minutes but nothing happened .
help me to sort out this
Why do you press camera ? Did you try hard reset?
HI
i tried hard reset but having the same problem.
u said to hold camera button and insert mini usb cable .
I didn't tell you, you prob read it somewhere...
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
hi
thanks again
i tried hard reset but having the same problem.
can you please tell me how to flash from sd card
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem
1 .Empty (erase the contents of) your microSD card using the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
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. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
hi
thanks very much
i flashed as you said
now my htc is working
thank you for your step by step guidence.
I've tried to find the answer to my problem, but I can't seem to find the specific help. I sold my Touch GSM working great. I had it returned saying it didn't work.
I think the guy tried to do something to the rom and created problems. The phone will boot up, the icons come up as well as a wallpaper photo of the guy and his family. Before I can access any files, it shuts off and restarts. It just keeps doing this. I can't sync the phone because it never gets to that point.
Can I interrupt the start up? Can I flash it somehow? Can I put something on the micro SD card before it starts up? What can I do to either change the rom or fix the continuous restart.
Thanks for your help.
Fix boot loader from sd card htc touch elf clone
PROBLEM SOLVED. THIS WORKED GREAT FOR ME FINALLY! it's the chinese clone version of the HTC TOUCH gsm. Don't need active sync or to be connected to the computer to work.
It was easy.
My phone would get stuck on the first windows screen and that would be it. Nothing I did would get the phone to work.
1. download the file from the link and unzip it.
rapidshare.com/files/82510452/New_Blue_Touch_ROM_V4.0.zip
2. Transfer the file called update.img to the micro sd card. Make sure you don't put it into any folder, just directly onto the card. (I have a usb micro card reader that I slide the micro sd card into and plug it into my computer) They also have a regular size sd card that you slide the micro into and insert it into your computer.
3. I pushed the side volume switch up, held the power button and did a soft reset.
4. A menu comes up that says something like "boot loader from the sd card."
5. the phone automatically read the card and my phone went to a blue screen with nothing there. I thought it wasn't working, but I let it stay that way for a short while. Sure enough, the phone started up and it hadn't worked for a year before that!
I can't say it will work for you, or what will happen to your phone, but I had nothing to lose.
Good luck
hello there. for you and anyone else with china htc problem this is the solution for it.
go to this page and download the IMG file called "update.img"
then follow this steps.
1. Format your HTC memory card (Micro SD card), so it will be clean.
2. Move the update.img (you already downloaded from the site) to root directory of your Memory card.
3. Press Volume Up button on your htc and while keeping it pressed , press the reset button.
You should get the blue screen telling the update being downloaded. Wait for a while and it will tell that Update is successful and your phone will be rebooted.
THis is it.
Could you tell me where you find the update.img file? I have the same problem, but I couldn't seem to be able to find update.img in the New_Blue_Touch_ROM_V4.0.zip file. Thanks for your help!
Hey everyone!
I'm having this issue with the SD Card on my new Moto G5 Plus. This problem has been bugging me ever since I got the device, and I don't know how to fix it on my own. Tried every method possible.
These are the steps I took:
1. Take an empty SD Card, formatted it as FAT32 on my Windows PC.
2. Insert SD Card into the Memory Slot of my Moto G5 Plus.
3. I get a notification saying "Unsupported File System. Tap to Format." so I format it as Android says so.
4. Once it is successfully formatted (that's what the screen tells me), I get another notification saying "SD Card Corrupted. Tap to fix.".
5. When I tap on that, it again asks me to Erase and Format the Card, following which, the same "SD Card Corrupted" notification pops up again.
I've tried the CHKDSK method, I've tried formatting it in various other file formats (NTFS), but it still doesn't seem to work. I have a feeling it has something to do with encryption on the phone, but this is becoming an irritating issue, as a consumer. I need my music! :crying:
Someone, please help!
is it showing up on when you connect it on the PC?
I too have the issue, all i do as a workaround is, before power off, i eject my sd card.
Fix?
I got the same issue. Any fix. Please help!
Try this:
Boot into TWRP and open the file manager under "Advanced." Navigate into the "dev" folder and delete the file labeled "__properties__" Reboot, and happy downloading.

Care to explain this a little more for some users? Where is this "dev" folder located (system, data, sdcard, etc)? What is the "__properties__" file?
