PW10B1's ID as PW10A1

For some odd reason my T-Mobile PW10B1 (as labeled on the back of the device) is identified as PW10A1 in Device Information. I never paid any attention to that, but I got an error 012 when trying to upgrade to T-Mobile W2003. I'm currently running 3.17.03 (the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2), so perhaps prior upgrade affected the stock ID change from B to A.
How do I change it back to PW10B1, or how do I go about installing W2003 on my messed up device.
Thanks,
Marcin

Marcin,
i have the same with my AT&T. however i'm able to upgrade it to WM2003. the only thing confusing me that after upgrade it is stuck on splash screen, no further load. i tried different methods and versions... no results...
if you find the answer, please let me know

I can fix the problem!

Marcin, all you need to do is get an sd card and reader writer, you can then do the sd method of flashing which bypasses version checking. You will need xdatools also, just pass your mouse over xdatools link and you can download it from there.

very helpful
Nice advice, cgigate...that was very helpful...

cruisin,
I am in the same situation as marcin.
Please confirm my understandingof the bootloading from SD:
1. Using the SD+card reader, I copy the W2003 NK.NBF file to the SD.
2. Insert the SD card into the XDA
3. Goto the bootloader mode (power + soft reset) and press the middle of the rocker key.
4. After the ex counter increases.. at the end, press hard reset.
5. After 60 sec press hard reset again
If this is correct then why do I need the XDATools for?

Copying the file to sd will not work, it needs to be in a special format for the xda to boot the rom burning procedure, you will need xdatools. At the end you push the unscrewed end of the stylus into the tiny hole bottome right of xda, then again after 60 seconds and you should have a working system.

cruisin-thru
Thanks cruisin-thru.
I want to be very clear before starting the upgrade, so..Do I use the OSImageTool to special format for the XDA to boot from the SD?
Thanks again for your patience!
BTW: I did steps 1 to 4 of "unlock Wiz/Wallaby/SER/Backup and
now I (like marcin, have my T-Mobile PW10B1 identified as
PW10A1). I have yet to do the steps 5, 6 and 7. If I do these
steps. Will the identification be corrected?

so..Do I use the OSImageTool to special format for the XDA to boot from the SD?

Click to collapse
yes after osimagetool have copied the rom to the sdcard the card should be unreadble to anything but the xda's bootloader

Upgrade to W2003
It is my great pleasure to have great and helpful people who advised and suported me in my XDA fiddling adventures. I have now upgraded to W2003 and unlock my phone to use any provider I wish.
Thanks to all!
Melody

Help me please !!
I have a XDA PW10A1 without the instalation cd-rom where do i find the drivers for my XDA ....... please help me !!!

Valikos, the only installation you should need is activesync which is freely downloadable from the microsoft web page.

Yes but!
If i have Win98 SE my computer do not see my xda , there are not drivers for 98 ? ....

Just make sure you have the latest ActiveSync version which is 3.7.1 ... sometimes uninstall then re-install solves this issue.

ok .. another question .... i have all my contacts in to a motorola accompli 008 and like the xda i don't have the instalation cd and no drivers , where do i find the drivers for this one , because i have more that 200 contacts in this one and i wold like to transfer all contacts in the xda

Ther must be a way for UNBRICKING

Hi, I searched a lot on forum and found a way for flashing from sdcard in Hermes forum.
There for i took a RUU_signed.nbh file copied to the fromated SDcard
- renamed it to HERAIMG.nbh (similar to HERMIMG.nbh on hermes forum)
--> and put the phone in bootloader
--> it starts searching sdcard
AND THEN
--> a processbar appears and it says "Checking SD contents"
BUT
--> "Invalid Certificate" - press any key.
So there must be a way to flash from SD card.
I will try different RUU and tell more.
Someone wanne help?

It must be named
"HERAIMG.nbh"
then it stops on white screen saying: Checking SD contents
But i got
Invalid Certificate

AND when it is an official .nbh extracted from RUU_xxxxx
it stops for 5sec on
"Checking SD content"
but the processbar doesn´t change and then it goes to bootloader without changing anything.
????????????????????????????

I will test this method too, i saw some flash of SD hen going into bootloader mode, did'nt know there was an option like this i will post my experiences

I tried these two RUU nbh's:
- RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship
- RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_1.8.405.1_02.71.90_Ship
I've firtstly formatted my SD card, then copied NBH file's to my SD and named them HERAIMG.nbh.
Both times there was only a statusbar that did not proceed loading, and my continues in bootloader after 3 seconds...
Also got the Invalid Certificate error when I copied the WM6 nb of ASerg and renamed it to HEARIMG.nbh.. what is this certificate? and can it be edited in a way so we can flash??
Talking about unbricking anyway, can Herald users use Platform Builder?? i read in a thread that you're phone has to have KITL, but i don't think the Herald has KITL.. Can anyone who knows for sure please tell?

The .nbh are "signed" os files. you can generate these fiels by "nbhgen.exe" but i didn´t get it to work with an RUU - it allways says "image is corrupted" because it only contains OS.nb
when you extract an RUU_signed.nbh out of the RUU_xxx.exe it contaisn splash.nb, os.nb, extrom.nb, spl.nb etc.
That´s the certificate = the singend nbh

So that won't be an option I guess... too bad
but does the Herald have KITL in bootloader mode? if so, you could use Platform Builder to unbrick your phone.. that would be very very sweet.
And what is this mtty thing? should be some funky stuff to

MTTY never worked for me - but that could be my system. And KITL - i don´t know what this is. sorry.
I sent it to O2 and hope they will repair some minor bugs and also the booting problem.

Hmm i'll have a look around to find out what this mtty thing does..
btw: KITL = Kernel Independent Transport Layer, it is the windows ce kernel debugger interface

Is there anyone continueing papamopps' solution to unbrick Herald?

^^no need anymore, you can just use an official WM6 RUU

That´s not right. For unbricking a XDA Terra we still need a soulution.
The Terra IS NOT the P4350!!!!!
And the RUU updates are for P4350 (and in some cases for VPA compact)
But not for terra - we have to wait for an O2 update....

Vendor Id
I have a Vodafone CID(?) locked bricked HTC P4350.
Using the HTC updates I cannot unbrick my phone, because it keeps saying "Invalid Vender Id".
This unbricking with flashcard could be a solution for me.

I already try with official rom, but my herald is still brick, i can not syncronize the herald with pc to run the official rom.
It is freeze in inicial boot with HTC logo.
help, please anyone....

You can't simply place the rom file to the card and hope the device will read it in this way. In my time working for pda service, we used WINHex to format the card (to RAW-unformatted) and then we wrote the rom file in RAW format to the card. Your card looks like an endless stream of hexazecimal values. Only winhex recognises this format, if you insert the card to the computer, it will simply ask you to format it. After inserting this card into the pda, it will start the upgrade . The order of this operation was, as I remember, to fill the card with 0000 values (there is an option in WINHex, a kind of format) then write the rom file to the card in RAW mode. Then insert the card to the device.
Another way was to use MTTY, connect the pda to the computer (PDA should be in bootloader), open MTTY and connect with the device. ActiveSync should be killed before this. In MTTY in the terminal window write "set 14 0" then remove the data cable, then close MTTY, reconnect data cable then run the RUU.
These methods worked on HP Ipaq's wich we were repairing in our service center some time ago. I don't know if it works for herald or htc products because their RUU has a different way to register with the device.

something is wrong

the phone only turns on in bootloader mode(v5.22).sorry for so much questions.
siemens sx56 wont turn on.it only turns on in bootloader mode any suggestion whats wrong with it?i was recently trying to unlock it i wonder if it has anything to do with it

I think you have to flash your device with a new ROM.....
Stefan

thanks
thanks stefan will try.

which rom can i flash to it?
WHICH ROM SHOULD I USE?i now have A.30.09.

I suggest 4.01.12
Stefan

ok i still have more problem hear these 2 more problems
each time i backup the boot+ce>sd it says backup successful but when i put it in my card reader the computer isnt picking up anything on the card when i try to open the card after backup it is asking to format.
the next thing i cant get xda tool to work each time i double click on osimagetoo l,it says "this applicatio has failed to start because of RAPI.dll was not found.re installing the application may fix this problem"

Files are written in special format on the card. This can not be read via file-explorer......

thanks
thanks for the info stefan you are great thanks for your patience just a bit longer.xdatools is now working, i told you that my sx56 was only starting up in bootloader and you recommended me to flash the ROM.should i flash the ROM you recommended and then unlock?where must i go from here?

I would suggest the XDA Special ROM 1.2 That includes already the unlocking tool. Download this File and extract the EXE using winzip or similar. Than write the nb1 (or nbf) File to SD and flash your device.
Unlocking just works with special Radio Stack VErsions. Do you know which one is installed on your phone?
Stefan

yes
yes my radio version is RA.33.02
SHOULD I use XDArit or XDAtool?
when i try to use xdarit to flash the special version ROM(nbf file)it says "Failed to open device\\.\PhysicalDrive43" what should i do?
when i try the xdatool it says "please connect your xda to activesync".do i have to connect the xda to the computer? cause i dont have a usb cable for it.

You should use XDATool / OSImageTool.
Just select @ Destination your SD-Card...

Problem upgrading to Artemis

Hi, I tried to install the Artemis Touch 4.02 Full with 4 sided cube ROM on my HTC 3301 (same that 3300) but when I try to install the mobile has restarted when the bar progress stay on 3% and don't work... please help me, my mobile don't work more, and I don't know what to do!
Thanks

3% is a classic... did you use uspl first? In this case it means that you have to perform step1.bat first, then step2.bat. Make sure step 1 went well, then try step2 again.

What I do?

Do you have a SD Card >2GB in your Slot?
Then removed it and try it again ... There is a known problem with flashing while a sd card >2GB is connected (you have to install the sdhc driver after install in order to use your sd card ... maybe its included in the rom)

Yes, I can turn on the device, but don't start the OS, stay on SPL/IPL... screen, and I can enter in BootLoad screen too (Red/Green/Blue screen).

This sounds bad .... the last thing i know is to do a hardreset:
when device is switched on
1. press left and right softkey together and hold ... then stick the stylus in the RESET hole and remove it (but still press the keys)
2. after a short reboot you should see a message with further instruction ... now you can release the softkeys and follow the instructions ...
So, thats the last thing i get in mind ... sorry ...

to resolve it, try installing the ms ActiveSync (for Win XP) or WMDC (Vista and Win 7) on your computer !
ActiveSync ~ http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15
WMDC ~ http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14

i am using windows 7 and i install your given link driver but problem still same any other solution thanks for help dear

to flash the rom does not need to bring the device into botloader, simply connect your phone to your computer and wait until activesync /Windows Mobile Device Center admit and then run instead of .exe file (CustomRUU) at the rom

previously make sure your MicroSD has formatted to Fat32! to format a memory card you can use the SD Formatter
open your file rom with winrar, Drag and drop ruu_signed.nbh file to a folder on computer then rename ruu_signed nbh. file to TOPAIMG.nbh and copy to memory card

say somthig bro

have you tried using another memory card ??

Is not clear what SPL you have.
Loading then not allow means that ROM is for other country.
Also means that you don't have Hard SPL.
You can recover only with ROM for what country ID have your device.

You can recover only with ROM for what country ID have your device
how can i find country id in my set. in back panel of set i found made in tiwan is thair any solution now
tell me something my problem not solve

If your device the last time before brick still using the embedded operating system (ROM) default from the manufacturer, then you get to know country ID via specifications Shipped ROMs / official ROM at W I K I
