Hi All
recently bought a Motorola MC7094 off eBay... it has arrived and has some software installed that starts at boot up, it starts in full screen and i cant get out of it!
can anyone think of a way round this. i want to format the PDA but to do that i need to put the 'cleaner' files in the correct place on the PDA and i cant get to file explorer to do that. even going through browsing from my PC i cant get to the 'Temp' folder to put the cleaner files in there...
any help would be appriciated.
thanks
Bobro
You could try the Hard Boot key sequence from its successor the MC70. It is almost the same device.
Performing a Cold Boot - Hard reset ----- Simultaneously press the Power button and the 1 and 9 keys.
If it works, it will wipe the device to its original state at manufacture. Any software installed since will be lost. It should then boot up to the standard Windows Mobile 5/6 screen.
Solved
Thanks for the reply...
I have worked it out, you can create a folder on the PC called Temp and put the cleaner files in this folder... you can then paste this folder into the root of the PDA from 'My computer' (this folder was not visable but when pasting it askes if you want to overwright the folder. once this temp folder is on the PDA you can then do a hard reboot of the PDA. 1+9+power, it will say you need to connect AC power, once you dock the PDA again it will start the factry reset

Strange, did you buy your MDA compact/JAM at the Suq behind Bab Al-Yemen? :wink: No, thanks galore for trying, but I did the hard-rest (was needed anyways). Will upload later...

[email protected] did you buy your MDA compact/JAM at the Suq behind Bab Al-Yemen?
i got it from dubai.....
and very strange that i can't view the file using windows... tho the option of showing all hidden files is checked...
winxp sp2---imate jam + imate ppc --- usb 2.o + firewire
maybe i can't view it because my windows xp isn't Dutch....
Could you please upload the keybddr.dll, I also don't have it but someone at Howard Forum's made me believe I need this file so i can map the button of my wired headset.

You can't copy the file of the device because its in ROM.
The OS prevents files in ROM from being copied from the device because of something called XIP that is used.

If i want to upgrade my wallaby i get an error message in the communications procedure. I have downloaded my ROM from lumpy's kitchen and ive tried to upgrade it many times right now.
Can anyone give me an advise how i could hardflash the ROM of my device?
I think you get an communication error when trying to flash via ActiveSync.
You have to flash via bootloader....

Here you get furthe rinformation about how to do it....

Nothing yet
Ive tried to Bootload te rom, but after the message "connect your USB now" the device does not react anymore.
I have tried to run the application rom but this says that active sync does not recognize a device.
What should i do next?
Thanks for the quick respond!!
Even if i make a bacup to SD this doesnt work. There no explaination how to hard flash the device! Can you give me an advise???
What have you done exatcly, and where is the problem?
It's not really clear for me.
For Flashing via SD-Card there is no USB connection necessary....
STefan
I have tried to flash with the bootloader. When i push on the on/off putton and do soft reset i see the question "connect to USB now". If i connect and i start the rom nothing happens.
Afterwards i have tried to put the rom on my SD card. I have tried to do this OSimagetools. The pc does recognize the SD card in my wallaby. I also dont have a cardreader.
Is there a way to flash my wallaby in the bootloader-mode with the USB connection?
What do i have to do for it?
Thanks
Strange.
You should see device displays a background that consists of four equally sized vertical bars, colored (from top to bottom) white, red, green and blue. On top of this, it says:
WALLABY
Bootloader
V5.14
WAIT
After a few seconds, the WAIT is replaced by GSM OK. Both messages are in the blue bar, but have a white background.
What do you get?
What is labeld on your rear sticker of the device? (modell) ?
Stefan
Its model: PW10A1
SN: HT220cc15300
PN: 99HJ00007-00
Step 1)I have seen the horizontal bars. And its version 5.18. Ive also seen the "GSM OK"- notification.
Step1a)If i connect it afterwards to my USB nothing happens. The computer does not recognize the Wallaby.
Step2) If i hold the On/Off button i get the message "Connect to USB now" If i do this, activesync does recognize my device and i cannot install the ROM.
Step3) after step 1 i press the contacts button and i see 6 ways to backup my rom or GSM. I have backedup my GSM and ROM to SD. But this has no use for me.
Greetz,
Ok. Now I see.....
First of all, you have an totaly unknown Bootloader (5.18) to me, so i hope all steps will work....
You require a SD-Card with >= 64 MB
XDATools ftp://[email protected]/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip
Your downloaded ROM from my kitchen
step1) Boot your XDA up normal and connect via active sync (guest partnership is ok)
step2) Copy all your data of your sd-Card to your local PC otherwise all data on it will be gone
step3) Enter bootloader of your device by pressing On/Off and doing a softreset
step4) After the Message GSM OK press the Contact Button of your device
step5) Navigate with the pad to "CE+BOOT TO SD"
step6) Confirm this with the Action Key (Press the middle of the Navigate-Pad)
step7) After finishing enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
step8) Bootloader should tell you something tah OS is detected on your SD-Card
If No -> Problem
If Yes -> continue
step9) Boot your XDA up normal and connect via active sync (guest partnership is ok)
step10) Install XDATools on your PC
step11) in a dos -box (cmd) go to the directoy where osimagetool is located
step12) enter command: "osimagetool -r xdasdslot -w original.nbf"
step13) enter command: "osimagetool --register"
step14) extract the downloaded ROM using winzip
step15) Run osimagetool
step16) Select the nbf-file in the english-folder of the extracted lROM as source and XDASlot as destination
step17) After finishing enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
step18) Bootloader should tell you something tah OS is detected on your SD-Card
step19) Press Action Key to install the ROM
step20) After finishing do a hard reset
step21) Now your ROM should be installed on your device.
step22) Locate the created file original.nbf and compress it using winzip
step23) Upload the compressed file to ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Wallaby/Uploads
step24) Enjoy your new ROM
That should be alll .....

Thanks, But when i extract the rom to a folder, OS Imagetools cannot find the nbf-file. There is no nbf-file in the extracter-rom-folder. I can only find an nb-file.
There is a file called "NK" which says that its an NBF-file(properties). The file is 32MB large. I have tried to select this file (step 16), but the file is not being recognized. Even if i change the extension of the filename. The OSimage does not support this file.
I Have tried this with 3 ROM's : 2003 SE, 2003 and 2002 neither of them contain the nbf-file in the english folder.
Do you have an advice? I think i am very close right now!!
Thanks,
I have sucseeded to install 2002, but 2003 SE wont be recognized. It says its an usupported file.
Has this anyting to do with the fact that i renamed the file? If so can you tell me how to change the file back??
I have downgraded my wallaby to PPC 2002 right now.
Thanks Lumpi!!
WM2003SE couls only be installed via Exe-File. It can not be flashed with the osimagetool.

HI Friends
Sometimes it happens that all internal memory is full and after we do a reset , magician nearly hangs either on the boot screen or while trying to show the Today's Links on the main screen
Is there any way to boot the magician with the least resources like safe mode in windows. As i dont have the recent backup of my magician, so i dont want to hard reset the magician which will work but on loss of data.
I tried using active sync, windows 2003 doesnt come to a point where, active sync start.. if it would hv worked i could hv deleted the big file which is creating the booting issue.
Pls help...
I tried
I Dnt know if this helps...
Use file explorer and go into windows directory of your device.
There should be a program called : safemode
Load that program and the Pocketpc will retart, while restarting a small window will be displayed, and press the middle button while this is up to load in safemode and not load any plugins you might have installed.
Hope this is enough.
Hi there,
I just received my phone from Orange, the french operator.
Rom version is 1.43 something. I ve just been messing around a little with the phone and have encountered a few problems. I d like to know of you guys have the same issues:
- Synchronizing with hotmail: My hotmail password was 17 letters long (and had special characters) and I wasn t able to sync my Leo. I changed the password to 8 letters (and no special characters) and was able to sync
- Copying large video files to SD: When I use the Explore function of my active sync and copy large files (300mb) to my sdcard, it takes forever. The bar advances progressively, then starts back from 0, and so on. After 5 minutes, it seems to finish the copy. When I launch the file, it s corrupt.
The originial file works. The funniest thing is that if I copy the file back from the SDcard to the laptop, the file won t launch anymore
- Copying files with the "transfer function": Ok this works real fast. I can copy large files from my laptop to my SDcard in seconds. When I unplug the Leo, and use the explorer to find the files... well they just aren t there.
If anyone is having the same issues, please help me out.
Thx,
Ben
About the files you can't see. First you have to disconnect the cable or change the USB to PC mode to ActivSync (something). Then you will be able to see your files in the file explorer.
And after a restart, you are still unable to see your files on the storage card, install Resco Explorer and browse your Storage Card with that. It happened to me onece.
And about copying files in ActiveSync mode: It's natural. ActiveSync ain't for copying big files. It's just for syncing your device with your PC. So, it's the same for everyone.

Click to expand...

Dunno about hotmail issue as I don't use it.
But, had file copy issues using WMDC in my Vista pc.
I have started using Disk mode nd no problems.
Try formatting your memory card in device if u have issues still.
I ve tried that, but it still doesn t work. I ll format my SD when I get home and try a few other things...
BTW, is there a simple way to backup my original Orange rom before I flash and HTC rom on the Leo?
Thx,
Ben
Issues with the SD card are cleared. The SD card is simply dead. I put another one in and everything works ok
hi,
I replaced the shellres.96.dll with a modded one and now I can't see a startbutton on my windows mobile 5 device and i can't click anything on the today screen. I have a backup of the original file but I have no idea how to put it back in the windows folder since I can't do anything on the device.
i could really use some help on how to put the original file back in its place.
Jochen
Make a Hard-Reset, it will revert device memory to original state.
i removed the battery and turned the switch behind the battery to off and to on again and still its the same
EDIT: when i plug it into my pc i can hear the new hardware sound and after a while theres a win ce network error wich i normaly also get on the devices screen. my device is a Medion MD96710
Okay, if you can browse your device with your computer, DELETE modified file from \Windows directory, then restart your device. The file will be restored from the ROM.
i can't browse it with the windows explorer and its not connected in the "windows mobile device center" (don't know wether it's called like that or not in english because thats my translation from german) so i think active sync isn't running
EDIT: the problem is solved i found out how to really do a hard reset on the device and now it works just fine thanks for your help
