hello,
i upgraded my ppc from windows 02 to 03 with a rom from : http://xda.weblink.net/ rom kitchen. everything worked, except now all my files on my memory card are gone. where the files used to be is now some invalid files with jumbled up names.
When I tried to upload the rom again, it gave me a connection error.
I completely removed active sync 3.7 and reinstalled it and hard reset my ppc, same error.
I even installed it on another computer and once again, same error.
Can I only upload a rom once, or is there something wrong with my pocket pc?
Is there any way to get those files back from my memory card; like put it in a ppc with 02 operating system, or are they gone forever?
A rom upgrade should not affect your sd card files, have known wm2003 to delete files but not heard of corruption. You can use the sd card method of flashing by using xdatools, this will overcome your problem. You could try removing and reinserting the memory card or maybe slot it to a card reader writer on your pc and see if it still shows corrupt.
please forgive my ignorance.
what are the steps to using the sd card method to update rom, or is there another thread that has these steps?
i am not familiar with xdatools
thank you very much for your help
i copy pasted this from another thread way back it's a pretty good description
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Remember to make a copy of your SD-card if you have anything you want to keep before using it for upgrading as everything on the card will be deleted by XDA-tools.

Hi I downloaded all the software need to upgrade my qtek1010 to WM2003 everything was going well but then when it came up to the screen that displays "it will take 5 minutes to upgrade" my Qtek was restarted on its own and then the active sync connection died so then the upgrade stopped because it could not make a connection with the Qtek1010 any ideas on how to get over this restart - broken connection problem or maybe someone can guide me through upgrading using an SD card.
thank you

BTW the above is based on using XDArit version 1.0 which can be download from the software section at:
http://www.yorch.net and a PCI USB 3-One Travel Flash reader P/N FPT-D bought at Fry's.
Hi Thank you very much for the reply - just need to know one more thing I have bootloader ver 5.22 will XDArit version 1 work fine with this bootloader and must I select option "5.17 and above 3,5K"
I have cooked and downloaded a multitude of ROM's from lumpistefan's kitchen. I managed to upgrade to WM2003 (4.01.16). Now when I try to upgrade to another cooked ROM (exe format, same version 4.01.16) I get the following error message each time.
"Error: GetConnectionType - An exsisting connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting connetion type"
I'm not connecting through any USB hub, and I'm using the same laptop and the same USB port as when I was successful. I have tried hardresetting the XDA but that had no effect.
If I try to install a PPC2002 ROM I get "Program to big to fit in memory" error.
Any ideas? I sure don't want to be stuck with the current version I have for the remainder of the XDA's life.
some versions can only be upgraded from if you do it SD card style
