I have a siemens sx56 with AT&T. I was trying to upgrade the ROM version to unlock it. Using XDA developer software and during this process, somehow the connection between the computer and the phone stopped (active Sync). Now the phone is not responding and the screen still displaying the upgrading process. I tried to reconnect but the Active sync does not recognize the devise. I read in this forum that you can solve this problem by using SD card with a good ROM version. Here is what I did. I copied the NK.nbf to the SD card using my computer SD read/write slot. I inserted the SD card in the phone and did the boot loader mode. What I got is "Wallaby boot loader v5.22 GSM OK" that set. Does the phone will automatically ask to press action to start flashing or I have to press a certain key. I tryed all the keys but they give me different tests that they work fine. So far I am not able to find the key that will install the the cooked rom. After that, when I tried to use the SD card in the computer, it did not recognize the card and ask me to format the SD card. I tried the fat and the fat 32 format and download NK.nb1 and/or NK.nbf and again I got the samething. Do I need to down load the ROM file using the XDAtool or just copying the file from the computer to sd directory will do it. I would really appreciate it if someone points out the best way of handling this problem (i.e. get the phone to work with the appropriate ROM and unlocking it) thanks.

Bro, you shouldn't change the Sd fat you erased what's written on it anyway your unit is still on the safe side and you can bring it to normal.
First of all downgrade your bootloader to 5.15 >>>

Hi,
I also have exactly the same problem with my Siemens SX56 as those of Seif's. My Wallaby's boot loader version is 5.22. Ramram said that the first thing to do is to downgrage bootloader. But I couldn't understand how to downgrade the bootloader because I do not have a copy of old bootloader. Should I use 'OSImageTools' or 'XDArit' to write backed up CE image to SD card?
Seif, how did you solve your problem?
Best Regards

You need XDArit to write the rom to your SD read the past post on how to copy rom to your SD which is the safest way of installing the rom into the device, by using XDAtools press on FIX BROKEN BOOTLOADER this will downgrade you bootloader to 5.15 don't forget to connect your unit to the cradle when you want to downgrade.
I recommend 1rst of all to make a quick search in threads to be totaly ready for this
this would help :

Good Luck now.
Update : How to fix failure during upgrading ROM
The problem was solved. Here is what I did. I copied the NK.nbf file to the SD card using the XDAtools. It seems that the XDAtools uses special format for the bootloader that well recognize the ROM file on the SD card. Rafia your bootloader (v5.22) is fine you do not need to downgrade it.
You should follow this procedure:
1. Install ActiveSync that comes with the device.
2. download XDAtools from this site and install it in your computer.
3. Cook the ROM ( or get it by extracting the zip file from the XDA developers special edition ROM.)
4. Use the XDAtools to copy the cooked NK.nbf file from your computer to the directory of the SD card
5. Insert the SD card in the dead device and go to the bootloader mode (soft reset while pressing power key). Make sure it has more than 80% battery before starting.
6. If it is still working and the bootloader ver. is older than 6.22, it will ask you to press action to start flasing.
7. Once finished, remove the SD card and hard reset, wait 60 sec and hard reset again.
Good Luck and special thanks to Biso for his help.

Thanks a MILLION for this info. I'm in the same boat, with bootloader 5.22. One question though, when I'm in bootloader mode, which option do I choose from the menu to transfer the ROM to my device from the SD card? Will there be something automatically coming up? Or will I use one of the options listed below:
1. CE ROM TO SD
2. BOOT TO SD
3. CE + BOOT TO SD
4. GSM ROM TO SD
5. CE + GSM TO SD
By the way, so I never do anything to ruin my device again, can someone please explain what each option does?? I really don't have a clue.
as you can read from the menu you type in all these options are to the SD card
and they are to backup i suppose
rom upgrading should start automatic when a sd card with valid rom is in the sdport
and you are in the bootloader
maybe it ask you i forget but it's not something you have to find browsing
the menu's

Thanks for answering my question. Now I simply need to find a really good ROM to use to load back onto my device. What I would like to do is end up with Windows Mobile 2003, but the device is locked at the moment.
Can someone recommend a ROM for me to load onto the device so that I can then unlock it and THEN upgrade to 2003? Or is there a 2003 ROM out there that will also unlock? Originally, I ended up in this predicament by upgrading to the 2003 upgrade from Rogers AT&T, but that locked the device on me. I then tried to use a cooked 2003 ROM, and that's where I am now, without a useable device.
Thanks for all replies!

Thanks, Ramram. I'm sure I'll have more success this time, but it's just odd that I went from a 2002 ROM, which was unlocked, to the Rogers 2003 ROM, and the phone was locked after that.
I guess I should stay away from that Rogers ROM then?

Why to worry about the Rogers Rom you know now a way to unlock your phone.
I assume the Rogers rom is based like the At&t rom which it has the sound clipping bug , so I'd rather say that you could cook a T-mobile rom 4.01.16 WM2003 and try it it does not have the sound clipping bug..
Hello there,
is it possible to flash NBH's to the HD2 that are placed in the root directory of the integrated microSDHC card? I remember that such an option existed for the XPERIA X1 and when the device was booted via VOL- and POWER ON, it got to that menu with all the colors. Then the XPERIA X1 loaded the NBH that was placed on \Storage Card\Kovsimg.nbh.
If it is also integrated into the HD2, what has the NBH to be renamed to?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely, nitrate.

Hi, does anyone know if the storage card flash method completely formats the device first (like mtty?)
I've run into some random freezing issues after being bit of a flash-a-holic with all these tasty ROMS. Anyway I've flash from the storage card and will go a week without a new ROM and see if that helps.

Hi
SD card method will not full format device. But you have to HARD RESET after every rom upgrade.
Good luck

Hard reset does not fornst either. it would be best if you used mtty before flashing from sd. it takes like a min and fixes random freezes / unexplained hard resets if you have been experiencing them.
I have to send away my phone for repair (USB port is dying) and i was hoping to restore everything to stock just to make sure there are no problems when they take a look at it.
I'm running 'Duttys Leo Multi-Lang V1.1' ROM but i installed this way back in January and to be honest i can't even remember how i went about doing it in the first place.
If anybody could tell me where to start i'd be really grateful.

download official stock ROM from your carrier site, or HTC site, and install it by clicking on .exe file
Will that remove the HSPL too ?

If you flash it via sd card. Right click on the exe stock rom file downloaded and select Extract here. Then copy to .nbh file to the root of your sd card. Ensure it is named leoimg.nbh and then flash from the card.
you can use HSPL to change it to 1.42.0000 SPL. there is an option there

Only if using HSPL2. As he installed the rom in January, HSPL2 was not yet out, so I'm assuming he used HSPL1
The SPL is indeed 1.42.0000, im just downloading a ROM now and i'll report back in a second
I had HSPL on my phone and used HSPL2 to remove it - works fine
Ok so i copied the .nbh to the SD Card, renamed it and restarted the phone while holding down the volume button but it just took me to the Bootloader screen.
Do i have to do anything specific to get it to install ?

Did you format the sd-card in FAT32?
It should ask you to press power button or something to flash if everything is right

When the phone boots into bootloader it should identify the leoimg file on the sd card and allow you the option to flash by pressing the power button. Did you copy the file to the root of the storage card, ie not to any sud-folder? If so then it could be that you may need to try another sd card as not all cards work with this. The 2gb cards are said to be best.
You can also try to just run the .exe normally from the pc to flash the rom and then use hspl2 to change your spl back as suggested by EddyOS.
Yeah, I didn't think it wouldn't work - just put my stock 1.66 ROM back on and then changed the SPL back using HSPL2 - job a goodun!!
Anyone wanna buy an HD2?
Thanks for the advice guys, i'm off to work now but i'll have a look at it when i get home.

Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

I'm looking to put android on my HD2 but I got a simple question.
If I install a NAND Android on my phone and I don't like it or encounter some problems can I get windows back with a hard reset or does that option get lost when I put Android on?
I got the tip to "You simply put the stock rom you want on your SD card, rename it to leoimg.nbh and then go into bootloader by holding Volume down while powering on."
I have tried to find info about this, can anyone point me in the direction where there is a guide/tutorial on how to do this it it would be very appreciated.
Thanks for your help!
No, a hard reset won't do the trick, you will need to reflash a winmo rom to get it back, as installing a NAND rom (even magldr) removes winmo.
You can find info here
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the ********.nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card

Now that the ever resourceful Yuki/xboxmod have availed to us the Sd Unlocker Cab making it possible to dual boot the Mango RTM and Android, could somebody please take us through the step by step guide about enabling this. I have waited for this day a long time and I guess my prayers have now been answered But.... I am on NoDo and I want to make the big jump to Mango/Android dual boot in the smoothest way possible.

SDCARD & ANDROID RELATED CABS:
Download link
These files change the size and format of the SDcard extrapartition
This partition is used as working part for updates and to save logs
It is usually formated as FAT16 and sized of 200MB
So choose the file which the number of GB you want, send the cab to device and Reset
The first partition will have the new size now and already formated in FAT32
So you can use it as USB key or for Androïd without having to do it manually
Take care if you reset again datas on it will be lost
If you want to revert back to FAT16, 200MB just use DEV_EXTRAPART_REMOVE and reset
This feature is to be used beside DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
With this tool you can unlock your SDcard
The card will be relocked after each reboot to WP7 what is a security in case of stolen device
So use the tool each time you want to boot to Androïd or use SDcard as USB key.

After installing the EXTRAPART cab (of whatever GB u want) u must go to settings, about , and RESET wp7. After the reset is complete the partition should already exist.
When you want to use android, go to the applications list, storage lock, and unlock the sd card if it is not already unlocked. Restart your HD2 and boot into android. If u want to go back to wp7 just restart your phone again.
Remember that if u boot into wp7 after android again, u must unlock your sd card using the storage lock app again, before booting into android for it to work...

On the first post of the ACA thread it says "Includes optional rootfs.img that allows to boot build from magldr (!readme! in /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR)"
Follow instructions in the readme.
Also in Magldr -> 10 services / 1 Bootsettings / 3 AD SD Dir / Android (not Androi~ or anything similar)

You might want to get a card reader, especially for android as there are issues with usb transfer to phone.

1. install the DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab, install the partion DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab, reset the phone
2. go in Start, Storage Lock: "... Do you want to unlock it?" press yes
3. power off WP7
4. Boot AD SD
when you go back in WP7 you have to repeat step 2 (not necessary to reinstall DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab)

Newbie question: Step prior to step 4 above.
I already downloaded my Android files sitting on PC with folder name ../Android.
My question .. How do I copy exactly these Android files to the partinioned folder of my microSD card?
Via Zune or Do I need to remove the sdcard from phone first and insert it in my PC to perform the copy?
I'd appreciate if someone can provide the necessary steps.

Best to remove card and use an external reader. Use partition software like easus or minitool and format the partition to be fat32 (make it primary and 32kb cluster size) then you can just copy/paste it right from explorer.
This is all under the impression that you can see the card in windows. If you cannot, it means you didn't run the StorageLock cab in WP7 before you rebooted.
Thanks for your little guide [email protected]

Thank you! I just used the sd adapter, insert to pc and copy the android files with no issues. I thought it was hard initially but everything went fine. Dual boot mango and android is perfectly working .
so after mango is installed - I presume the sd card will be locked right?
if i install DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab this should unlock it but if install the partion DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab do i still need to use easeus and mini tool to partition the sd card?
sorry for noob like questions

When your XBmod/Yuki WP7 Mango 7720 is now running successfully, you have now the option to do a dual boot with Android following the steps below.
1. Send the DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab via the sender tool. I am not sure if necessary but I think I’d rebooted my phone first after the install of the storagelock.
2. After the reboot you’ll see 'StorageLock' tile in home, click it and click yes to unlock first the sd card.
3. Once unlocked, send the DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab next
4. Once done you need to reset the phone via settings>about. I repeat reset and not just reboot for the partition to take effect. You don't need to use easeus and mini tool, the DEV_EXTRAPART_xxxG.cab will partition the card for you as well as format it to FAT32. Special thanks for XBMod/Yuki for that.
5. After the reset, you can go to 'settings>about>more info' just to verify the WP7 total and available storage space has been reduced.
6. Once verified, click the 'StorageLock' tile again, to unlock the card again. Everytime you do a reboot the sd card will be locked automatically.
7. Once unlocked, turn off the WP7 as normal.
8. Safely remove your micro sd card from HD2. Insert the card to your SD card adapter and then insert to your PC. Your PC should recognize the card. This is the method I used.
9. Copy the Android files that you extracted to the root of the SD card.
10. Once done, insert it back to your HD2 and you're set to boot the phone to Android via MAGLDR.
Note: Before you proceed to boot Android the first time, you need to follow the guide on where you extracted the Android files on what else to be done/MAGLDR settings etc. My first attempt was not successful due to some missing files required by MAGLDR but after few readings here and there, I finally made it through. I guess on the 4th attempt.
Good luck
