tool to fix broken bootloader

here http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/download/bootloaderfix.zip a tool to fix
a broken bootloader.
use with extreme care, only as a last resort.
This tool depends on specific memory locations for certain roms.
It does verify that it is talking to a known rom. It also does a very
minimalisitc check if the file presented to it resembles a bootloader.
I tested it with 3.16.52, 4.00.10 and 3.04.00 ( the very old ppc2003 rom ).
It should also work with 3.17.03, 3.19.01, 4.00.01 and 4.00.05.
unpack the archive, from the command prompt, in the 'build' directory
run 'pnewbootloader bl515.nb0'.
it should take about 10 seconds.
output should be something like this:
Code:
C:\fix\build>pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0
protection found at 8c0d62d8
result: 00000000 00000000
if you get my ce utilities ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html )
you can check the current bootloader version with
Code:
C:\>pmemdump 0x80001880 0x40
80001880: 20 00 00 00 20 72 30 00 ff ff 00 f1 e0 07 1f 00 ... r0.........
80001890: 00 00 00 00 20 20 20 20 56 35 2e 31 35 20 20 20 .... V5.15

hi,
thanks for taking the time to make this utility. I am about to try it but i'm not sure if i should run it on my xda or on my desktop pc.
Could you please elaborate on how to use it?
Rico

Developer-#X2PL
Thanks for the new tool.
Unless I'm mistaken this requires an Active Sync connection ?
I am stuck on Wallaby 5.17 and a corrupted Rom image (My fault) and so can't establish an active sync connection. The only way to recover is to run an SD card restore but I have had no joy with the Wallaby patch to overcome the bootloader's security (Loads to SD card o.k but does not patch the bootloader on startup)
Is there any way of running your bootloader tool from a serial connection using the load and go command ?
Thanks
Richard

this tool runs on your desktop pc,
it requires a working activesync connection.
and also a working windows ce.
it is most useful for people who accidentally selected the same file for bootloader and osimage in xdarit. and are now stuck without a bootloader.
and it provides an easy way to change bootloader for people with a working xda and bootloader 5.17.
richard, sounds like the only way to fix your xda would be to get the patchloader working. does it say something about loading diagnostics, and bootloader detected, patching .... etc?

K2pl
Thanks for reply.
I get no messages at all when entering bootloader with patched SD card. I am wondering if XDArit is actualy writing to the SD card. I have been recieving the succesful write message and had assumed that it had done so but after asking it to write a CE image it confirmed this in about 2 seconds which I'm sure it couldn't have acheived. I have presumed that I wouldn't be able to see this file under windows file explorer even if it had written it is this correct ? I have also tried the 1.4 MB version but this just crashes (Win XP) at the write stage. I have a unix box as well if this program is available for this platform I could try that.
It sounds like sods law to me just two hours after corrupting my image a tool is released that would have allowed me to get out of it if only I had applied it first Oh well such is life.
Any help much appreicated.

Hi Itsme. Is there any link to download the bootloader 5.15.
Appreciate if U can post a link. :wink:
Thks.

OCMAX
It is included in the zip file just follow the instructions above. Don't forget if this goes wrong you will have a paper weight so don't do it unless you feel you really need to.
Richard

I think there are many more uses for a romless xda besides weighing on paper. you could also use it as a beercoaster. or it being a nice shine surface might invite you to deposit thin lines of certain powders on it.

xdarit being done writing way to quick is possibly not a good sign, maybe it is writing to the wrong disk?

I guess I'm going to get a chance to try them all whilst I wait for my old laptop to re-load XP (currently Red Hat) in the hope that its simplistic setup might allow the XDArit to function.
Happy sniffing
Richard

YEP 8)
That was the problem although it reported to be writing to the SD card it was actualy writing to my backup drive (No harm done) Once it was on my old laptop there is so little on it that I could quickly see what was going wrong. Anyway thanks for help.

for those who ran into a missing pput.exe.
the http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/download/bootloaderfix.zip is now updated,
and contains pput.exe.
pput.exe is also part of http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/download/itsutils.zip

Well it worked!!!
Thanks so much. My XDA is once again fully operational. I did run into the missing pput.exe error. But once i downloaded this file it worked like a charm.
Only thing is the result line did not show. So i waited quite some time before i just assumed it was done. And it was. :lol:
Thanks again XDA-developers.

Sandy

XDA Developers you a Hero
Hi Guys,
Nice work....2 thumbs up for willem and another XDA Developer guys. You make me happy today.......btw good work. almost 1 month i waitting for help to solve this problem finally you did it...
Many thanks

Itsme
Thanks for help yesterday. As I live in Australia by the time you helped me figure out what was going wrong it was gone Midnight here so having recovered my XDA I went to bed. Got up first thing took a deep breath and ran your bootloaderfix tool and it worked flawlessly
I now have a SD card backup waiting for the next time I mess up
Only problem left is I seem to have one of the units that randomley hard resets itself when you enter the bootloader but thats a small price to pay.
Thanks again to all the Developers this is really great stuff.
Richard

Richjn,
u need turn the phone off before entering the bootloader. if u power it off and enter bootloader, it doesn't hard reset.

mtty.exe & host11.exe ( flashing tools by HTC )

Hi All,
Maybe this is old hat, but is good to know.
I've seen these two programs on the internet made by HTC for the Ipaq:
1) mtty.exe = Multi-Port/USB TTY Version 1.10 2001 by HTC
2) host11.exe = Remote USB update 1.1
The first programme mtty.exe is a flashing utility made by HTC to flash the boot loader ( only *.bin files ) using the serial/USB cable for the Ipaq ( after a reboot using the Wallaby boot loader menu the Ipaq/XDA is connecting in the same way as using the Hyperterminal, spiting all the information about the hardware version and then looking for a *.bin file, containing the boot loader, if found it will start flashing the boot loader).
The second programme host11.exe is a flashing utility also made by HTC to flash the CE Rom only, via Usb, after a reboot using the Wallaby boot loader menu and pressing the “Volume button” on the left side of the XDA (sorry I don’t remember the button on the Ipaq ), will bring you the “Remote USB update 1.1” menu on the XDA as well on the Ipaq. If you have a file named “nk.nb0” located in the same directory with host11.exe, containing the CE Rom for the Ipaq ( probably it will do the same to the XDA) , it will start upgrading the CE Rom.
My question would be, if we can use these two programs to flash the XDA ( using the “wboot515.bin” file to flash the boot loader and “nk.nbf” – contained in Program A ver 3.17.03 CE Rom O2 UK, that we could edit with Ultraedit, cut the first two lines, save it and rename it “nk.nb0”, to flash the CE Rom ) as an alternative to the SD card flashing method ?
Please see down under a small procedure for the IPAQ.
I’ve got these info searching the Ipaq forums.
Mendo

Download the host11.exe file from here:
http://www.ultimatepocket.com/images/host11.exe
I have the mtty.exe program if you can't find it on the internet.
A very good explanation about the Ipaq upgrade using mtty.exe and host11.exe, english document:
http://www.wince.com.br/ftp/ipaq2002v214.doc
These are the links I've used for general info:
http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/HosT11
http://www.xonio.com/features/feature_unterseite_8750206.html
http://hardware.pchome.net/2002/07/13/3435.htm

I find this part of the upgrade procedure for the Ipaq very interesting:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1- Check Pocket PC for Boot loader version number.
A) Establish a physical connection between your iPAQ and Desktop (Serial port). Use the "serial Auto-Sync Cable".
B) Open downloaded software folder. Execute the mtty.exe program on your desktop. Dialog box appears, select appropriate COM port settings. (i.e. COM1, COM2).
C) Press the speaker (game pad button) & reset button (Bottom right corner, you will need your stylus to get to the reset button.) at the same time.
D) Release the reset button, but ensure that you hold the speaker button until you see a parrot. On your desktop (Mtty.exe), you will see the following message being displayed:
******************************************************

FW 0:4:38>
E) Note the Version Number. Since the Version number is 2.31 you will need to upgrade it to 2.43.
Step 2- Upgrade Boot loader Version.
A) Ensure that the mtty.exe & the file mboot241.bin are in the same folder or directory.
B) At the FW 0:4:38> prompt, type "l MBOOT241.bin" (Type as is, minding the case). A new boot loader will be flashed. This will enable one to flash the OS using the USB rather than serial. Since, flashing the OS by serial takes about 30 minutes to complete. The USB connection takes about 4 minutes. IMPORTANT!!!!! Don't remove the cables during this process. This process takes about 1min.
C) Due a cold reset of the device (Bottom right corner, you will need your stylus to get to the reset button).
D) You can check if the program was a success by repeating step 1 C and D. Note that the version number has changed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It looks that is posible to use the USB cable to flash the boot loader, not only the serial cable.
Again I am interested if these things are good for the XDA as well, of course using the right boot loader and CE ROM files, as mentioned before.

and where can I find the BIN file for example ("wallaby233busa_2s.bin"). Upgrading by USB is my only chance (broken SD card slot in MDA)

i have mistakenly installed a T-Mobile ROM on my O2 XDA n i want to switch back to the XDA Developers Special Edition ROM. For some reason the T-Mobile ROM doesnt let me use the setup they have. The SD Card method does not work for me since i do not have an external SD Card writer. Can i use mtty and host11 to do this? Where do i get the bin files that you mentioned?
thanx for your help

Hi Countster,
It's been a while since I was playing with my XDA.
The files I was talking "mtty" and "host11", you can find them on the Internet or post a message on the forum (I use to have them on an old PC in the office but I've lost them together with the bin ROM file), but I also never had to use the USB flash application, back then I was only preparing for the worst case, but my XDA never failed durring the upgrade.
But the best metod as far as I know is the one using an SD card (buy an external SD card reader from Ebay, it's only 15Euro max.)
I found this post on the net and these guys are having problems using the USB tool:
http://www.pdastreet.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=21433
http://goodhyun.com/archives/2004/08/how_to_dump_new.php
My advice is to use the XDA forum for info and the SD card metod, because as far as I can remember it was the best.
The cooked ROM file should be available somewhere, on the forum.
If you decide to use the host11.exe, you might have to delete (trim) the first two rows of the "rom.bin" file and rename it "nk.nb0" (you need to open the file with an "bin to hex editor" and then delete the two hex encoded rows).
In the case of the T-mobile/O2, the flash application they are using to flash the XDA it is checking, validating and then trim the rom.bin file, after this it will flash the XDA.
A very important thing to know is that it hasn't been confirmed that the "host11.exe" works with the XDA (it might work only with the IPaq).
Apparently it might work to download the file but it is also important at what address (hex address) in the XDA flash memory, the program starts to write the firmware (the bin file). The danger is to overwrite the bootloader or part of it ( the bootloader is like your PC Bios) and this will destroy your XDA , because it wont boot any more and it wont communicate on any port.
I hope that your XDA it is still booting and you haven't lost the boot loader ( it is the worst case ).
My final advice, don't use the host11.exe but instead use the SD metod.
Regards,
Mendo

hmmm seems dangerous.. either i have to RTFM or try to get the SD card writer. thanx for your help!

How to dump new rom image into ipaq using host11.exe
If your OS upgrade image came with UpgradeUT.exe, I mean if you tried to upgrade your ipaq and got the popup screen "HP ROM UPGRADE Utlity v3.15" then the .nbf files couldn't be inserted directly using host11.exe
Certainly, there is a situation you want to dump the rom image into iPaq in a straightforward manner, not guided by the fixed routine. in that case, you have to trim your file's unnecessary portion.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Delete these inversed part and rename it to nk.nb0,
then set your ipaq to the usb memory upgrade mode and run host11.exe.
don't forget to kill activesync when you do this.

Then save the file and rename it "nk.nb0", then set your XDA to the "USB memory upgrade mode" (using the bootloader menu shortcuts) and run host11.exe.
Don't forget to kill activesync when you do this.
*************************************************************
Be carefull, this procedure can make your XDA useless, I've not done this myself on my XDA, this is info from the net.
Use this metod only if Programme A metod fails and don't use it to upgrade the radio stack.

Hi,
I have ipaq 3870. I upgraded to wm2003 using host11.exe and a rom image found in emule. But i had problems with certain software on it, so i decided to go back to 2002. I erased the 32 bytes from the beggining of the rom file, and used host11.exe.
My problems:
No asset tag and SN
No model information when trying to run official rom upgrade.
I have original backup, but i cannot flash it with official upgradeut.exe

Posted By basf on 24-Dec-05 at 16:31 Quote
um .... I seen the communicaiton for this problem in this site before.
edit the rom nk.nb0, offest 01ff000ah to be your asset number.

http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50
Now what you need is file to upgrade to WM2003 (I don't know where to get now because hp thailand did not support to upgade or sell the upgrade file/Chan).
Upgrade file are compose of 3 files.
1. host11.exe - This program is to flash rom
2. nk.nb0 - rom data or firmware file
3. readme.txt - the method to flash rom
Then you need Hex Editor such as UltraEdit-32 (if you don't have one, try search google.com) to Edit nk.nb0.
UltraEdit-32 will show 3 parts,
First "0xxxxxxxh:" (shown the line and address of data)
Second in the middle is data in hex (on top there is ruler from 0 to f but if you can not see just go to set at menu at view > display ruler), then you can see at first line or address at 01ff0000h: = 31, 01ff0001h: = 00, 01ff0002h: = 2E, 01ff0003h: = 00, 01ff0004h: = 31, ....
Third is "ASCII CODE"
Picture 1 show Mark at Address 01ff000ah
Picture 2 show Mark at Address : 01ff0e00h
At this point that we have to change data in file nk.nb0, start from 01ff000ah: to 01ff0020h:
The original file "nk.nb0" show "ASCII CODE" in that position are "4.G.2.3.D.W.3.4.M.1.N.0". These numbers are Asset Tag # and Serial # that you have to use from your ipaq, can be found at the back at S/N.
Then Click at "ASCII CODE" in the position of Address that you want to change, this case have to click at number 4. Then key input the first digit of your ipaq S/N, then click at G and key input your second S/N until finish all number.
You also have to do the same thing at address 01ff0e00h to 01ff0e14h.
If complete correction all numbers, just save the file.
Next is to disable active sync, there are two method:
1. At Microsoft ActiveSync at PC, Click at File > Connection Settings... > "Unmark" (Click to uncheck) at CheckBox "Allow USB connection with this desktop computer" > OK.
or
2. End Process "wcescomm.exe", call "Windows Task Manager" by press three botton Ctrl, Alt, Del then at Tab "Processes" Click at "wcescomm.exe" then click at "End Process" botton.
Now at ipaq 38xx have to set in Mode "Remote USB Update"
Press botton 2 (Default : Contacts Button) and botton 4 (Default : iTask Button) and Power on botton then use stylus press at Reset (small hole at bottom of ipaq) wait until on the screen has message " Remote USB Update"
Put ipaq to usb cradle, and connect battery charger ac adapter for safty purpose.
Then Run "host11.exe"
(If the message "USB Lost connection" come out continuous, that means the connection has a problem, just take out ppc from cradle, retart your pc and reset PPC, then make PPC Mode to "Remote USB Update" then try runing file "host11.exe" again)
Start to update, now at 7 %
Nearly finish.
If there is no problem flash rom process will be finish as the message "Flash Done." at PC.
At PPC screen.
Then take out PPC from cradle and soft reset it. Now the screen of PPC will be pink color and Version of OS in the right bottom will be 4.00. Then wait for a while, everything will be as we just hard reset.
(in cause the screen in pink color wait too long, just do hard reset, vai presss at botton 1 (Default : Calendar Button) and botton 4 (Default : iTask Button) then use stylus press at reset, then wait till pink screen come again.)
Finally, you are now using WM2003 with your ipaq 38xx.
====================
If you use method 1 to disable usb of microsoft active sysnc.
You have to enable USB at Microsoft ActiveSync to sync all data back from PC to PPC.
- Connect PPC to USB Cradle
- Call Microsoft ActiveSync at PC
- Click ??? File > Connection Settings... > Click at botton Get Connected...
- Microsoft ActiveSync, check at CheckBox "Allow USB connection with this desktop computer"
- Then the program will ask for Set Partnership (I used default name as "Pocket_PC")
If you use method 2 of disable usb.
- Call Microsoft ActiveSync at PC
- Connect PPC to USB Cradle
- Click ??? File > Connection Settings... > Click at botton Get Connected...
- Microsoft ActiveSync, check at CheckBox "Allow USB connection with this desktop computer"
- Then the program will ask for Set Partnership (I used default name as "Pocket_PC")

Fix Broken Bootloader not working - Can some kind soul pleas

Hi,
I have 4.00.021 on my Asian XDA and decided T-Mobile is not good for me. I now have the well documented can't go back issue and guess what, my bootloader is 5.17 to make the insult even bigger... I tried the fix broken bootloader but get the following error : ... As you will notice I put the tool in c:\binaries as the long directory names were attributed to this problem earlier on. Any idea how I can overcome this riddle? Thanks a zillion in advance.
C:\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
'C:\binaries\pput.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: ITReadProcessMemory - Unspecified error
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect

search and read old threads!

Thanks for your friendly reply. I did exactly as you told reviewed many threads and am none the wiser. The new fix broken bootloader tool gives me the error mentioned below and I could not see a resolution to that. I will try the old XDAwrit + SD Card reader option next but comparatively thats a very risk option as I understand it and hence my reoluctance.
If you know how to make fix broken bootloader work please spare me with a part of your wisdom and just tell me how. Thanks a lot for your help.

read this link http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2928
if you still cannot make it work, send to me, I will fix it for you

Thanks for your offer for help. I must be the miggest idiot on this forum. I still can't make it work... I read & read & read the link you gave me but I'm still none the wiser. Few issues I am stuck with :
In the thread you mention I see the reference to 'pnewbootloader bl515.nb0'
I do not have bl515.nb0 but I have bootloader_v5_15.nb0 from Jeff's tools and when I use this file I get the following error. My ActiveStink is working.
H:\build>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect
Then I want to use the wallaby patch loader option so I refer to the following link but this link is not live any more.
updated version of wallaby patch loader at http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/download/wbt-1.5.tar.gz
What should be my next step? Should I try to fix whatevers wrong with the pnewbootloader or should I hunt down the wallaby patch loader option....
Totally confused. Thanks a lot for your help. Regards

my latest tools don't use 'pput' anymore, so you will encounter less problems
if you use the newest from http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html

Got it and tried it. Results are the same :
C:\binaries\build>pnewbootloader.exe bootloader_v5_15.nb0
Copying C:\binaries\build\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect
Do you think this has anything to do with the protection T-Mobile builds into their ROMs? To re-iterate I have the 4.00.021 on.
Any other ideas? Thanks a lot for all your help. Regards.
Kerem

As per instructions in your text file I tried pmemdump and get the following. Not sure if this is of any help.
C:\binaries\build>pmemdump 0x80001880 0x40

I have the Same error with k_kirt when i try to down from 6.22 to 5.15 , Dont know what to do. Somebody help me.

billgate, please see
http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3162
Thanks to the help from friends on this site my problem is resolved. If you have a SD card reader/writer you can use the older version of XDArit to write the Wallaby patch and then bring your bootloader version to 5.15.
good luck.

K_kirk,
Could you please explain in detail?
Where can I find the bootloader 5.15? I have downloaded the file "wallaby-patch-tool.nb2"
What should I do now?
please help me!

This is long. Bear with me. I just did a cut n paste from a txt file I recorded so I wouldn't forget how to do this again.

Before you start:
Suggest that you back up PIM data with ActiveSync. Copy any other files you need to an
SD card or desktop/laptop computer. Try not to do a full backup and restore that later
as it will usually mess up the XDA. Re-installing your apps is the best way since PPC2002
and WM2003 are different.
Hardware that you need:
1. O2 XDA smartphone (obviously!)
2. Sync cradle
3. Internal/External SD card reader
4. Spare SD card (preferably 2)
Software you need to download:
1. Get cooked ROM or any other ROM. ROMkitchens at http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org
2. Get XDAtools from http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDAtools-Jeff.exe

7. Get Wallaby Patch file from http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/wallaby-patch-tool.nb2
** For XDA with Wallaby Bootloader V6.22, I only need items 1,2,4 and 5.
Method 1:
1. Install XDAtools.
2. Start XDAtools and select the OSImageTool.
3. Backup your present ROM. Select Source and Device Memory (current ROM). For destination,
press the [...] button and select a place to store the file. Press Copy. Keep the file
created in a safe place.
4. Next, select Source as the ROM file you downloaded or cooked. Select Destination as
Device Memory (via Programme A). Click Copy.
5. Follow on-screen instructions.
Method 2:
1. Extract wallabypatch-sd.nb2 from wbt-1.5.tar.gz in item 4.
2. Using XDArit v1.0, choose Write to SD card and tick Diagnostics and select the file
wallabypatch-sd.nb2 and tick the header of 1k. Click OK to write.

To Do:
Changing bootloaders.

donpkong,
nice to see a fellow m'sian here.
Anyways, i'm currently on 6.22, downgraded my WM2003 to PPC2002, because of poor battery life and a DEAD vibrator after upgrading.
I"m trying to downgrade my 6.22 to a 5.15 because I have an inkling it's the root of the problems - IE vibrator not working.
Pnewbootloader doesn't work for me - it just says "Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect" so i guess the only hope is via SD-flashing.
Would like to get a few things clear here.. in a nutshell, what I have to do is :
1) Create Wallaby-diagnostics card
2) Create ROM image + 5.15 bootloader onto another SD card using XDArit options
then
1) Load up with patched diagnostics card (Wallaby)
2) Backup ROM + Bootloader (optional)
3) Select Restore SD
4) Insert SD, restore OS + Bootloader
Is there anything I missed out? I'm desperately wanting my vibration back because it's annoying to miss calls during meetings and stuff like that.
Thanks!

i did not have to downgrade from 6.22 to 5.15 and my vibrator works fine on WM2003. i do not know how to downgrade bootloader or have the need to do so.

What do i got to do if my xda lose bootloader.
Press and hold Power Button then Press Reset. Nothing appear.

@kavin
the same happened to my XDAII.
I would say, once you lose the bootloader and you, probably, don't want to play with JTAG, you can only send it to repair service...
buzz

Thank buzz_lightyear for reply.
But I can't send it because I'm living VietNam.
I give it to someone but they said that Nothing can do.
Oh....my god! I'll lost my xda...>>

Thanks donpkong
This is the amazing thread. Solve my problem that I have looked for solution for a long time. Thanks!!!
