Problem - ROM Backup to SD - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

I had an XDA Asia version. Bootloader version 5.17. My PC has WinXP SP1.
I want to backup my original ROM before I can load it with other intersting stuff from this excellent XDA developper site. My steps:
1. I used XDARit and write the wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 to a MMC card.
2. I put it in my XDA and do a bootloader reset. My XDA lead me to the patch menu as expected.
3. I insert another MMC Card (64MB) and dump the CE ROM to the card.
4. I inserted the MMC Card back to the card reader and click [READ FROM SD CARD] button of XDArit. XDArit told me that "in correct signature" and did write the ROM content from the MMC card to my harddisk file.
Can someone tell me somehint to back up my ROM. Because I do not dare to upgrade my XDA without backing up my original ROM.
The card page XDArit does not show "HTC$WALLABY", rather it show something "FAT".
I read thru this forum and seemed that the possible problems are:
- Incompatible driver of WinXP SP1 => XDArit can not read properly?
- Some new trick of the 5.17 bootloader with the rom patch tool can not "cheat"?
- USB 2.0 problem (but my PC used USB 1.1)
- XDArit problem (but I tried both old and new XDArit with no success)
It seems that the XDA did write something to the MMC card but XDArit can not see these.
Please someone help.
I really want to play my ROM with lot of new things on this site, but dare not until I can back up and restore my current original ROM.

PS. I used "Flash Mate" card reader (4 in 1).

Xdarit doesn't write with new .nbf files ?

I use the Xdarit to read & write the Rom image from my MDA.
I managed to read from the SD card and stored on my harddisk.
When I create back with a new rom .nbf files to the SD card and read back again to the harddisk, the SD show the original files size that from my MDA not the one that I'm going to upgrade to ? I rename the files to .nb1 extension.
Do I need to reformat the SD Card ? Do I need a new SD Card for the download ?
Dear XDA developer #..., please advice. I have been posting and yet to get some good advice and replies.
I would appreciate very much of your expertise in this matter.
Thanks again
they should be the same size, nb1, and nb0 files always are fixed size
more answer:
- when using xdarit you never have to format sd cards.
- renaming files will probably confuse XDARit, since this
is how xdarit recognizes what kind of file it has.
What I meant original file sizes.
1. Read from SD Card ( backup from MDA )
bootloader 5-15.nb0 256 K
WindowsCE 5-15.nb1 32,512 K
2. Write to SD Card ( with new ruu extract from O2 ie )
bootloader 5-15.nb0 256 K
WindowsCE NK_Wallaby31413wee_O2_Fulll.nbf 31,745 K
3. Read back the backup step 2.
bootloader 5-15v1.nb0 256 K
WindowsCE 5-15v1.nb1 32,512 K
As you mentioned, the files size are fixed, therefore my files of
the 5-15v1.nb1 should have the content of the NK-Wallaby.....
and I should had leave the file extention as .nbf without rename it to .nb1
Or should i had wite back using the step 1 files name ?
Please advice, many thanks
if you rename an .nbf file to .nb1, you will burn an incorrect os image
to your xda. making it unbootable in OS mode.
( your bootloader will still work )
also, be careful updating your bootloader, if it fails somehow
it is very difficult to restore your xda
if you just want to update your OS, only write the ..nb1 file
or select the .nbf from your distribution, without renaming it.
this http://openwince.sourceforge.net/jtag/iPAQ-3600/ might
give you an impression on what you would have to do, to repair
your xda after you've trashed your bootloader
Bootloader still appear but buttons not working ?
Thanks XDA developers,
My case is that I might accidently overwrite the bootloader.
The bootloader still be able to appear and the GSM OK showed but none of the functions button be able to work.
Do you think there is a way to work around ?
Many thanks for your replies
can u tell about bootloader version?
Bootloader v 5.15 on a T-Mobile MDA with 3.13.12 GER & Radio T310.
i think u can try to make sd card that contain wallaby path (.nb2) using xdarit... logically u can access "action button" to flash the rom.... this is only way to activate "action button"
after insert sd card u can go on bootloader and see wallaby path, press action button, if it work u can flash the rom (may be u should find exact rom that installed before xda died, more work?)
hope u can fix this prob

Hello All,
I can't write new ROM image to SD card with XDArit: I can read image from card, but when I try write new ROM image, I get "Failed to open device \\Physical device12" error message. I try both USB and PCMCIA card readers, but don’t work… What is the problem? (My PC is an Asus P4 notebook with WinXP Pro)
Thx your help & sorry my bad English

try to change device "mass storage device" with driver from manufacture, use one of xdarit executable 180kb or 1.39mb (find out in other thread)
Hello,
I install manufacturer's drivers, but isn't work
I download (found) only 180kb version of XDArit (and source code, but my C++ knowledge... khm...)
Can you write the 1,3mb version's link from me?

Hi,
thx your help...
I read on another thread, XDArit work only with USB 1.1 ports... My laptop have only USB 2.0 ports... :roll: I changed my laptop with one old IBM Thinkpad and XDArit work correctly...
Regadrs & thanks
Hanzy
Not really, coz im using usb 2.0 and its work normally
I only have USB 2.0 ports too and it worked fine.

Just searching for why I couldn't get XDArit to work with my system - seems the larger (presumably debug) build of XDArit has what's needed to work with the v4 nbf's - thanks for the pointer!

XDArit new version more problem than the old ones ?

Dear XDA Developer #.....,
I did used the old version od XDArit to read and write the Boot+CE with not much of problem. The only thing to be careful is the Select SD card options because the physical Harddisk is one of the choices.
I noticed you had improvised the new version of XDArit to exclude the Harddisk choice but it seems imposible to used the write to SD option.
It always said cannot open physical drive #....
If i am using a 6 in 1 USB travel flash with Flash Memory on it, is this a problem for the XDArit to reconised which drive is the SD card ?
I did a bootloader backup on the SD card from the XDA, I am able to select the SD drive with no problem, it show HTC$WALLABY00 and be able to save to the harddisk ...nbo. I continue to write back the same file it show the cannot open physical drive #.... problem.
The other thing to confirm, how many block are written to SD Card if i choose to write only the Wallaby Patch Tools Image ? I did many time on the SD Card, sometime it said 2 Blocks and sometime 9 Blocks ??? It was able to write once but the XDArit did not write to the SD Card, instead it wrote to the Flash Memory parts of my travel flash ????
Do you think we are able to have the old version back on your homepage to download, give us a selection of version choice.
I would be much grateful if you be able to attached the old version to me for testing, my email : [email protected]
Many thanks for your reply
The old version is in:
http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/old
Please tell us if the old version does work for you...
Bummer Gus...
Works good for me.... Now I just have to figure out how to use it to repair my radio stack...!!!
Another step for mankind, but a huge leap for Todd (aka OldManTod)...
THANK YOU!!!!!
old version work for me to, now i can write SD cards
We'll rework the current version, but read the XDArit page for the warning on the old version:
DO NOT CLICK 'YES' IF IT WARNS YOU'RE ABOUT TO OVERWRITE YOUR HARDDISK, EVEN IF IT LISTS THE SD-CARD AS DISK.
XDARit NT 4 Problem
Hi All,
I wonder if someone can tell me how to fix the XDArit.exe Entry Point Not Found error when trying to run this program under Win NT4.0 SP6?
I'm new to xda-developers.com, but earlier today I tried to update the CE ROM using the official o2 image and despite my USB connection working for ActiveSync, the update program tells me it can't open a USB port and now the PDA is showing only the progress bar screen. From reading your excellent site I guess I need to create an SD boot card to fix the problem, but then ran into the above problem with xdarit !
Please can someone help?
Thanks

Bootloader 5.22 to 5.15

I have a 5.22 Bootloader and wondering how to back it up before downgrading to 5.15 from Jeff's tools.
Thanks. !
I tried with the XDATools but does not give option for Bootloader only ROM!
we made xdatools as safe as possible, no option to screw around with bootloaders.
I did create some other tools that you can use to backup your bootloader.
if you download these tools http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html
and run
Code:
pmemdump 0x80000000 0x40000 bootloader.nb0
that will save your bootloader in bootloader.nb0.
or you can use this pocketpc tool: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/download/savebootloader.exe
it runs on your xda, and save your bootloader to a file in the root of your xda
Great thanks this works fine.... but when I run
pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0 I get
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect
I wish to upgrade to rom 4.0.x but would like to have a 5.15 wallaby before doing so. In case I need to downgrade back to 3.17.
Any help appreciated. Thanks. !
If their is no solution to this... Can I upgrade to 4.0.x and still be able to downgrade again later using another method!.
Hello,
this is the same error message I got when I tried to downgrade bootloader from 5.22 to 5.15. I was not sure if I am doing something wrong or what. I hope there is a fix to this.
Is the problem the Rom version or is it the 5.22 issue?
Use the old xdarit which gives an option to create a boot flash card. I have used this but as the developers warn this will "brick" your XDA if it goes wrong. My guess would be that you can downgrade to 3.17 on a 5.22 bootloader anyway. My advise would be to try that first because if it works theres no point in risking your bootloader and if it doesn't work you only have to reflash a 4.x image or try the old xdarit.
Richard
Thx for the reply, but the issue is how to downgrade to 3.17?
Program A is not working with this bootloader version (5.22) and I am not sure if XDArit will work with it.
Has anyone used XDArit with bootloader 5.22?
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I have bootloader 5.22 and have loaded 4.x images via flash using xdarit. I have also re-loaded bootloader 5.15 using the old xdarit to write a bootloader file.
Richard
Many thx Richard,
I do have an SD card reader (6 in 1) and I am not sure if this is the reason for the many errors I am getting when I try to use it. Recently posted posts say it could be.
I have also an image for the 5.15 bootloader.
Do I need the SD card reader to do the bootloader downgrade?
I have a six in one card reader and have the same problem you and many others have. In my case my SD card reader is disk six but I have to select disc 5 to get xdarit to see it. The bit to watch out for is to make sure that in selecting another disk it doesn't pick up your hard drive. The best way to be sure is to use the rom image tool to write a an image to your disk. Then using the old xdarit from the strat screen use the drop down list for the drives and you will see a load of data apear when you hit a valid drive you can recognise you have the right disk because you will see "Wallaby HTC" or simmilar. Then select write to disk and select 3.5k header and your 5.15 bootloader and write the file. when you put this disk in your XDA and enter bootloader mode it will offer to write it for you.
As I have said before I think you should try to write a 3.17 image to the disk first and try that. At the end of the day a corrupted rom is easy to recover from a corrupted bootloader = brick.
Also I have no problem with Program A and bootloader 5.22
Richard
No luck till now
Not sure what happened so far but I am unable to use my card reader now. Even when I connect it to a different laptop and insert an SD card from my camera, it says the card needs to be formated and even when I say ok format it, it says can't format.
When you right to the SD card using XDArit, my understanding that it will generate a file taht has the header required for bootloaders greater than 5.15. I am now ONLy trying to downgrade the bootloader. SO, the created file should be small. If you make this file available, would it be then easy to copy and pase it to a different SD card without using any tools?
Thanking yoy for your pateince
When you put your card in the SD card reader it is Windows that is offering to format it. xdarit does not need the card to be formated. If you put the card in and open xdarit can you see a string of data in the box ? If not use the drop down menu and try a different drive.
You can't (to the best of my knowledge) create a file that can be copied direct to the card because of the header required. i.e i can't email you one.
If you are having no joy reading from the card i.e you can't see the data as above try a different card perhaps the one you are using is duff.
Richard
It seems my card reader now has a problem.
I got an SD backup from an XDA that has bootloader 5.15 and the Rom CE
Now my Boatloader is 5.22 but this is what I am trying to get rid from. So, when I insert it in my device, it asks me if I want to press the action item to boot from SD. I am afraid that this will screw up my machine!
Is there a need that this file be written to the PC first then moved again to the SD card after checking the higher than 3.15 boatloader box?
Regards
If the backup you took was just the CE image then go ahead and restore the image. If you took a CE+bootloader image then you may want to transfer to your desktop and reload just the CE image but if your card reader is down I guess you can't do that. So if you have access to another XDA just redo a backup making sure you just have the CE image.
Why are you so determined to loose the 5.22 bootloader ? if it works on a 3.x image just leave it there its not doing any harm. If you are really nervous I will try a 3.x image on my XDA with 5.22 and let you know before you try on yours.
Let me know soon I live in Australia and its Friday night and the pub is calling.
Richard
You bet that I am nervous.
I would greatly appreciate your help in trying this first.
You can also e-mail me at [email protected]
Regards
I did try it and the Rom is downgraded now.
I still need to downgrade the bootloader so I can use XDAtools easily.
Will the same method work if I backup both the Win CE and Boot?
You don't need to HONHESTLY all the tools work fine on 5.22 BELEIVE me
If you must then yes is the simple answer but there is always a risk that it will go wrong and screw your XDA
Richard
Off to the pub now
OK got it all figured out!
I had:
A Rogers ATT (Canadian phone) running the Rogers ATT ROM.
Rom: R.20.x (don't remember) probably a 3.x
Radio Version: A.20.10
Bootloader: 5.22
Here are my steps. I will skip everything that went wrong on my journey and go straight to the point.
First I tried to use the new XDATools to upgrade the rom via Program A but with no sucess so used on method. !
NOTE: Their is not need in Canada to upgrade radio version cause the phone is already shipped with the latest. !
1- Used the old version of XDArit 1.0 to burn Wallaby Bootloader 5.15 from JEff's tools on my SD card (32Mb) with a Dazzle SD card reader
2- Inserted the card in my XDA and started the actual bootloader 5.22 and pressed action to download boot image.
3- Used XDATools (New version/product) to burn the SN40016wwe_vs.bin (see 4.0.16 rom is here post). (XDARit failed to get that one on the SD).
3- Inserted the card in my XDA and started the actual bootloader NOW 5.15 and pressed action to download CE image.
4- Did a soft reset and got T Mobile prompt... !
5- That's it phone works A1. !
Thanks for the info Yanick
So now u have 5.15?
What is SN40016wwe_vs.bin and where to get it from?
Is it specific to the ROm version you are upgrading to?
Hello,
I have to say I am kinda of lost now (not unusal :lol: )
I was thinking that the problem is in the boatloader but when I followed your method, my XDA seems to run 5.15 now.
Why an I still unable to use the XDAtools to write a new Rom file?
When I try to, I go as far as seeing upgrading in the laptop and on the XDA screem but then the connection (I use USB) is lost between the laptop and the XDA
When I try to upgrade the RSU (an excutable file), it goes as far as downloading the file to my XDA and restarting it to get a button saying start on my xda screen. When I press it I get the error message saying "als Failed " after 1% downloading?
If it is not the bootloader that was the problem, what is it?
Or am I having a non 100% functional bootloader now (5.15) or what?
:shock:
OK so you are running Bootloader 5.15...
Now download 4.0.16 ROM CE from
refer to this topic for download
http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2354
Then Use XDATools to burn image on a 64MB or greater SD card. Then Reset your PDA using (RESET + POWER) combination with the SD card already in the machine and it should prompt you to download CE .. Press Action and here you go !

can't get the xda to load from sd to upgrade to WM2003

hello,
i'm using the xdatools to put the nk file on the SD card, but when i hard reset my xda, i get into bootloader 5.22 mode, it says "gsm ok", and when i press the action button i get into a test menu.
How can i load the nk file from my sd card? please help.
thanks guys.
Did you place the ROM on the SD card by browsing to your device (...) or using the drop down and choosing your SD reader or XDA SD slot?
I had the same problem until I used the drop down... if you browse to your card, XDA tools will not create a bootable SD.
i used directy dropping down the box to SD
When you use the drop down menu on the destination there should be a drive letter next to your card eg: F: 59.60M USB sd reader or similar, choose that and it should work.
do we soft reset or hard reset
well after loading nk.nbf file
do we soft reset or hard reset to get into bootloader.
also,
the drive letter in destination folder will come if u use card reader,
but if in expansion slot than it does not give the drive letter.
Hello
I did hard reset .
I am having this same problem...
I download to the SD card through the cradle, using the phone's expansion slot. I do a SOFT RESET, to get the bootloader, and all I get is a GSM OK message. If I hit the action button, I then get into the test menu.
Hello
Means you have no nb.1 on your SD card .
as per the instructions I've been following that have been listed in detail here on this site as well as the att siemens support forums, you are supposed to copy the nk.nbf file and use that with the OS Image tool...is this incorrect?
OSImage
I just installed new ROM from new ROM Kitchen .
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
1) Get the file on your desktop ( download or ...I do not care)
2) Open OSInage
3) Source :arrow: Brows to your file
4) Destination :arrow: your SD card (where is it :?: -on your phone
or on the SD card reader)
5) Copy the file to SD card (takes 20 seconds)
6) Remove the XDA from the cradle and soft reset with power button held in.
7) When it says press action to download, push the big button between dial and hangup.
8) Hard reset.
9) Injoy the rest of your day
No way getting SD-Card recognized
Hello,

I found no way to get this running.
Any ideas?
read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3274
most likely, your wallaby bootloader is not 5.15. Anything above 5.15 won't work. I could downgrade from 5.17 and 5.22, but not from 6.22
still awaiting for some help to down grade 6.22. Nobody seems to care. THis forum has become "too" big that it is not as effective as before ...
People tend to just "shout" and ask before digging deep enough...

I'm in the same situation - I have v6.22 on T-Mobile 4.01.00ENG and can't do anything, even with an SD card!
Even the BootLoader downgrade tool with XDATools doesn't work.
Any help with this would be appreciated by many other users in the same situation.
The downgrade batch file in XDA-Tools doesn't work for a lot of people (didn't work for me either). However the wallaby patch should work. Otherwise, use XDARit to downgrade the bootloader using the .nb0 file that comes with the downgrade batch in XDA-Tools.
You write the wallaby patch onto the SD card using XDARit, go into the bootloader and enter diagnostics. Then take the SD card out, write bootloader 5.15 onto the card using the bootloader option in XDARit, and place the SD card back into the device. Then from the patched diagnostics screen select Restore SD and it will recognize a bootloader update. I'd recommend saving your original bootloader from the diagnostics first, but that wouldn't work for me for some reason.
i had a 5.17 boot loader that i downgraded to 5.15 via OS image tools, i also downloaded a rom file from the Kitchen & wrote it on SD but i still can't load from SD & i only get the test phase thing

Try using XDRit instead of XDA-Tools (use the older version of XDRit instead of the newer version). I'm not sure what you mean by "test phase", but maybe your bootloader screwed over during the update? If so you may need to rectify that first, but that's definately beyond me. If you burn the image correctly onto the card it should pick up automatically as soon as you enter the bootloader with 5.15. If you don't burn it correctly then it won't be picked up.
I'm just throwing in my 2c because I've made all this stuff work with a 5.15 downgrade. There's a possibility the thing simply doesn't like your card too, so try a different 64MB SD.
well i do have a 256 mb card & as far as i can tell the downgrade worked fine, now to use the xdarit files to i need to have the SD reader or i can do it the same way i do in XDAtools which is directly into the card through Active Sync

Upgrading failed bootloader v5.17

I have a Wallaby (Qtek 1010) I flashed it a couple of times with USB cable and the rom.exe files you get from LumpiStefans romkitchen. The last time when I tried to flash it with windows 2K3 SE it locked during the flashing and the only thing that happens when I try to turn it on now, I get a distorted picture of the progress bar. When I boot in to the bootloader i get the v5.17 screen.
I have tried using XDArit to write a nb1 file to my SD card but i get a "Failed to open device \\.\PhysicalDrive5" error.
I also have XDA tools but I am not sure how I bypass the bootloader with that application....
please help
PS XDA tools works fine, but as mentioned, I can only write nb1 or nbf files to the SD card not nb0 which as far as I can understand is the bootloader bypasser...
Normally writing ROM is enough. You don't need to flash the bootloader if it isn't necessary. Try writing the ROM to SD-Card using XDAtools and install the ROM via Bootloader.....
Stefan
I have tried to write the ROM but nothing happens when I turn on the device. or that is the same thing happens as if there where noe SD-card in the slot.
I have tried several times now, no message about formatting the card when I stick it in, the reader recognizes the card, cause I can flash to the SD card.
Flashing XDA1
Bootloader 5.17 may be a problem.. it does not let you flash from an sd card. You will have to
1. downgrade the bootloader (tricky) and only than 2. write /flash your rom

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)

Your XDA should now boot to the new ROM.
Notes:
1. Software tested to work on Windows 2000. Reported to work
in XP as well. Windows 98
is problematic.
2. Good place to get OS ROMs and Radio Stack ROM

3. When upgrading to WM2003 using the AT&T ROM 4.01.16, you
will not be able to re-flash
the ROM again using XDAtools. You will need to use the SD card
method.
To Do:
Changing bootloaders.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that ActiveSync doesnt recognize my device... :/ That rules out Method 1, and XDArit doesn't work on my SD card which eliminates method 2...

I have tried to write the ROM but nothing happens when I turn on the device. or that is the same thing happens as if there where noe SD-card in the slot.

First of all, what for SD-Card Writer are you using? Most of the internal Writer are causing problems....
Second question: What happens when you try entering bootloader (Holding Power button and doing Soft Reset) with the SD-Card inserted? Do you get the normal bootloader screen ?
Stefan
I have used two differen SD card readers, one external USB and one which actually is a digital camera cradle.
When I start in bootloader mode I just get the normal screen, I have tried making the ROM and inserted the SD into another wallaby v5.15 and that went just fine, but when I insert it into the v5.17 I just get the normal bootscreen.
Use Old version
I attched the zip file.. however I do not remeber which of the diagnostics (the bootloader fix file) is working.. I suggest try both...
Good luck
flipped?
i have a problem. i found my father's xda in our storage room. when i try to turn it on. it's just freeze on the bootloader (o2 bootscreen), and the worst thing is the screen is flipped ( you have to hold it upside down and look it through the mirror to see it correctly)
i try to flash the rom. but the activeSync doesn't recognize my device, after that i try to flash it from the sd. but nothing happen.
PLEASE HELP ME!
