Thanks to a power failure (quite often occurence here) I am left with an XDA that did not complete a ROM update and it is stuck in limbo.
Ive created the nb1 on SD card as prescribed many times over on this forum using xdarit. my xda does just not seem to detect it. Maybe it needs to be in before i switch it on or ..?
My wallaby bootloader is 5.15.
Advice is appreciated. I'd just finished fixing a GSM Error problem which basically crippled the XDA performance wise (dust collector) and then this happened !
Damn :\
Incidently I run the diagnostics for the SD Card Test and it just sits there saying start test... again not too sure what to do there.
Thanks again
Michael

how you sd upgrade your xda
Thanks for your reply Rudegar
The post link u sent me was actually one of the many ''how-to's''i went through and still no luck.
I re-tried this one just in case im a cluster but no, didn't work.
When i turn the xda on and into the bootloader (soft reset and power buttons) i donot get the SD DOWNLOAD screen. it just waits for me to press whatever to get into GSM check, diagnostics or whatever.
Incidently my sd card is a sandisk 256. the card works fine with my qtek 7070 and nike mp3 player (for file storage).
I use xdarit 1 as everytime i try 1.2 i get errors.
Thanks again for your reply. Any otehr advice anyone?
Thanks
Michael
can your sdreader for your pc read the card ?
if it can then you dident flash the rom right to the sdcard
you have to use xdatools you cant just copy the nbf file to it
if it can be read by an sdreader and i think a 7070 then it's
not a card you can use to update your device
Wires Crossed :\
Sorry _ What I was trying to say (not very well) is that teh sd cards work fine when used as storage in my 7070 and mp3 player. never used an sd card in the xda before so i cant comment on that.
i use xdarit for the sd card creation and no the pc card reader cant see wots on the sd card when ive done that. ive never had any success with xdatools to be honest :/
Thanks again
Michael
sorry dident see you used xdarit
never tried it as it were replaced with OSImageTOOL in xdatools
which i never had any issues with
i made the scard this time with osimagetool and still no cigar
damn this is bad

256 MB SD card problem
MAB,
I had similar problem with my XDA and I have 64 MMC which worked to get the 5.17 bootloader patch loaded but would not work with the nbf1 file. I borrowed 64 MB SD Panasonic card and I could loaded but my problem was eventually solved by taking it to the Melbourne based ACCS tel 03 9348 5555 for only $45.
If you wish to persist on your on I think some people here reported problems with 256MB cards so you may need to organise one of the 64MB cards.
Good luck
Thanks for that. One thing I haven't tried yet is getting hold of another SD Card. I had read there were problems with the 256 ones on this forum so I will get onto that and give it a rip.
Failing that what's ACCS stand for then?
Thanks All
Michael

So I see today that using XDArit to write the rom image to sd disk erases the disk, harrumph! I wondered where all my stuff went! No problem however because everything is backed up, I've been here before. I had a lot of trouble writing from my computer to the disk, and this may be of some use to a few of you, my laptop is a toshiba satellite 5200 801 with an internal sd card socket, it doesn't work with XDArit (either version) I had to get an adapter and stick it in a usb port before it was recognised.
So, all hunky-dory? No, somehow I'd got hold of a chinese rom!! (ppc20003) now I know what ch means! I think 'duh' is the word I'm looking for. Still, I'm a trier, finally got the right rom on the right card into my xda and working, start to load all my apps, tom tom city maps, route-planner etc. This takes some time I'm sure you know, five minutes later everything has gone! Blank disk! This has happened twice now and I'm starting to lose interest. The card is a SanDisk 256meg, any clues folks?
When you insert a non-formatted SD Card into your XDA, you usually get a 'Should the SD Card be formatted' message. Did you see this message? Or did you use a pre-formatted SD Card.
You could try formatting the card from Windows before inserting it into the XDA.
It was preformatted in windows, I've only had this problem since updating to ppc2003, I think I'll go back to the xda devs rom.
Why not try to format the card using the XDA? This may be a long and retarted way, but the best way I know to get an unformatted card is to write RAW data onto it. Write an already backed up NBx ROM file onto your SD Card using XDArit. Then put it in your XDA and you should get a prompt asking you if the card should be formatted. Click 'Yes' and have the XDA format the card. Then try installing your software and see if it works.
hello i got the same problem
now i wanne go back to the xda developers versie 1.2
and i try to run the exe but i got the messeges (can not open a com/usb port use device maneger on pc to make sure that the com/usb port is available and working)
when i put the xda in the cradle i can normaly sync whit outlook ect
somebody help please
sorry for my engliche
I downloaded the upgrade from Siemens web site and ran the program.
my phone is now stuck in the upgrade window and will not reboot.
Any Sugestions?
RE:
Phone will not reconect to activesync either.
RE:
Tried a hard reset and soft reset no results.
I think I'm Screwd
You need to get an sd memory card and card reader/writer, using the tools available here on the site you will need to write a rom to the sd card through sd card reader on your pc, then you go to bootloader mode and the sd card will burn the rom to your xda.
Thanks for the advise. I have a 1Gb sd card so I will get a reader.
I'm kind curious about Bootloader? Can Anyone enlighten me or point me to posts that have the info I'll need.
My computer is running windows is this ok?
All advise is much appreciated
Thanks For all the help. I fixed the Problem with the Bootloader. Finished the upgrade to A.30.09.
I just wanted to say that it is AWESOME to have a sight like this when the manufacturer doesn't have a clue how to answer many of these Q's.
THANK YOU QMAN (i got the info off one of your posts) AND ALL WHO PASS ON KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!1
I have tried everything under the sun to upgrade my T-Mob PPPC/PE with Yorch's T-Mobile unofficial Upgrade to WM2003. I can't get it to work. Tried: loading ROM to SD card and soft reset, using XDATools OSImagetool, etc... :x
I believe it is tough for any one to advice if you don't state what exactly you did and what error messages you got .....
Are you trying bootloader method. or other method. Please present more detail regarding your problem including current rom/radio etc and things that you have tried already.
Sorry. First, loaded the file, NK.NBF onto my SD card using OSImagetool.exe. Then per instructions that were given to me, did a soft boot on the device. It simply rebooted and after it came up, there was a message on the screen asking my if I wanted to format the SD card for use with the device and telling me that if I hit "yes", the card would be erased and all data lost on the card.
The next thing I tried was to use OSImagetool.exe directly. Source- nk.nbf (on my desktop) and Destination: Device memory (via Programme A). The error I got was "Programme A not found - run with "--register" error opening target device.
I even tried to run OSImagetool.exe from the command prompt using --register as an argument and got the same exact error.
Then, I loaded the NK.NBF file to the SD card then ran OSImagetool with source: SD card, destination: Device memory. Then got the same error: "Programme A not found - run with "--register" error opening target device."
Hope that helps.
i dont know the program OSImagetool
but when i updated my xda to 2003 i used xdatools to transfer the rom to the sdcard and then i DIDENT! softreset but went into the bootloader and it started to update

They are the same program OSImagetool is just the name of the .exe file.
@jhug whats your bootloader version? Sounds like it might be 5.17 or newer!
HTH
When the xda asked you if you wanted to format the sd card you should answer no, it means the rom has in fact been written to the card, you then need to enter bootloader mode, a soft reset is no good, just push the stylus in the reset hole while holding down the power button, it will then ask you to push the action button which is the centre of the 4 way pad, your rom will then be programmed, make sure the battery is charged also. When the process is complete, unscrew your stylus, then insert the top half of the stylus in the hole on the bottom right of your xda, just push once, after one minute push again, this turns the battery off, then on again, you should then have a working system.
my bootloader is 5.22 btw
I wanted to check and see if the ROM was in fact on the SD card, so I did a soft reset and the notification came up and asked me if I wanted to format the SD card. I clicked no and assumed the nk.nbf file was on the card. I then did a soft reset while pressing the power button and went into bootloader mode. It did not ask me to push the action button, so I did anyways and it went into diagnostics mode. Ideas???
I'll try reloading the ROM on the SD card and try it again. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks for your help! BTW, bootloader version is 5.15.

Consider yourself luck if you haven't had any problems upgrading
using the SD card boot loader method then!
Also most of the RS upgrade failures that I seen / fixed and tried to fix had boot loader 5.17 or higher, so keep that in mind. :wink: Lucky, Lucky you!

Please do!
Also whats the size and make of your SD card?
Well, I tried it again and the same thing happened. It went into bootloader mode and did not ask me if I wanted to install the new OS. I tried pressing the volume button and it said to connect the USB cable. I also pressed the contacts button and it went into Diagnostic mode. Aaaaaarrrrrgh!
BTW, it's a 256MB Sandisk card. (Great for holding about 200 songs! :lol: )

Some how I knew you where going to say a "256MB Sandisk"!
For some unknown reason had the same problem using the same card,
if you can try using a 64MB or a 128MB card and see what happens. :wink:
HTH
It finally worked! I loaded the ROM to the 256mb Sandisk SD card while in the unit, removed the SD card, inserted the SD card, then did a warm boot while pressing the power button and the ROM image loaded! I did the usual battery cutoff and then rebooted it and it works fine. Thanks everyone who gave me advice with this. :lol: :lol:
Where there is a well there is a way, great job!
But how in the hell did you figure that one though? :wink:
I decided to get creative. Dangerous when you're working in Wallaby, but it worked! :shock:
well i have just hit a problem returning my xda to its original rom version after trying out the new one....
I followed the instuctions word by word... putting the old rom on my sd card, booting it in wallaby, letting it finish and the disabling the battery and finally turning it back on with the battery enabled....
the downgrade completed without any issues.
now when i switch the xda on its going straight into the wallaby boot mode even if the memory card is taken out..
how the hell do fix this.
if I put the memory card into my pc it requests that it needs formatting so it can be used... if i do this and put the rom on the card nothing happens when I put in the xda to try and restore it..
please help as Ive only had my xda for 3 days...
I take it you have a MMC card reader? you need to format the MMC card so windows will not read it (which by the sounds you can do) and asks for it to be formatted, once you have done this you can now load a ROM on to the card with XDA Tools and write it via the bootloader to your XDA, this will (you hope) fix said problem you have.
followed this and now fully working again.
cheerz all.
I am using wm5storage v1.75 and every time with out fail if i try to copy a file over 3 or 4 MB it failes i even tried to disable the advanced network functionality in settings but it still did not work. i read that an older version works better but i can't fine an older version anywhere. can someone post it.thanks

Yes, 1.73 is the one that I use without any issue. Unlike 1.75, it will not stop recognising the USB disk midway through the transfer.
thanks for the link
UPDATE: i just tried the program and it works great but when i get done using it and deactivate it I can no longer see my mini-sd card. anyone know a fix for that

I'm afraid that I seem to recall that v1.73 fried an SD card of mine - I deactivated without first stopping the drive on the PC. When I reformatted the SD card in a card reader, it was only 1Gb (previously 2GB). Was never quite sure the first time if it was WM5torage or a duff card.
Then it happened a second time with a different card. The card wasn't even a cheap import - it was a corsair. If I remember rightly, there is a Linux tool to repartition the card and I seem to recall Corsair were going to create one too(check their forums). [Have just checked the xda-dev archive and my origianl post was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-305615.html
All I can say is, I hope it isn't that. Can you see the SD card in a card reader? Can you see it in Start\System\Memory?
i did a soft reset and it came back
