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:
Hi all,
I have been reading your post in your forum for days. I noticed that there are post on how to re-install the Imagine from the bootloader but none really telling how to do it.
I know i'm supposed to write the OS image on an SD card plug it into the O2 XDA and reboot, but i don't know how to write the ROM image to the SD card. I have a SD writer/reader attached to my PC and I have a 64 MB SD card. Can someone please write about the procedure of getting an OS ROM back on to the PDA with only the bootloader? I can't use Activesync.
Thank You all!!!
You have to use the XDAtools.
Download and installl them. Then right click on the image to write an select write to sd.
After finishing writing on the SD insert the card in your device press the power button and stick into the reset button. After releasing the reset and the power button, the bootloader will come up. It will show you the message OS detected on the card press the action button to download. Press on the button and the image is going to be transferd to your device. Afet finishing, you have to do a cold boot. That's all...
HTH
Stefan
Thank you but.....
Hello Stefan,
Thanks for your kind help!! Just wanted to make sure.
1. I got the XDAtools and installed it.
2. I run the OSimageTool, and i get a form with 2 fields. (destination and source)
3. I can just click on the button with "..." to select a file such as "NK.nb1" as source, then destination can be my SD card drive.
so in conclusion, I copy this one image(file) to my SD card. Stick in my SD card and follow your instructions and it should work right?
Please advise,
Thanks again man for the advice.....
Chad
Yep.
That's all you have to do....

Problem upgrading from SD-Card
Hello,
When i write a new rom on my SD-Card with OSImagetool or XDArit and insert it into my device, starting bootloader the new rom is not recognized by my device. (There is no upgrade dialog)
Bootloader 5.22, XDA
This is a known situation Bootloader 5.22 will not download rom via SD card. My suggestion is to downgrade your bootloader to 5.15 or thereabout. You can find how in this forum.
No SD-Card Update
Thx
but when i save my "corrupt" ROM via Bootload to SD an do an reboot, the update will be recognized! When i take out the card an reinsert it into the device the update will not be recognized!
Sounds like a crazy problem?
How can i downgrade my bootloader
How can i downgrade my bootloader without having an running OS?
And without getting my SD-Card recognized?
THX
Hi,
My Imate JAMin is dead after trying to flash the ROM with the QTEK S200 ROM using awizard. Anyways my phone will not connect to PC when I try to downgrade to the original ROM file (the JAM_WWE...exe). The problem is my PC wont connect to my phone, I get error 240 or something similar (cannot connect to phone message). So what I am asking is if anyone can backup their Imate JAMin ROM to a SD card and upload the image for me. I figure somebody here has got to have an extra SD card lying around somewhere. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
If you tell me how to make a SD image I will make one for you.
thanks for offering help. I am out right now, when i get home i will do a search and find out how to do it. In the meantime if anyone has any links for backup rom image to sd for wm5 and how to save this image to a file and then to write the image file to sd card again. thanks again.

1. Put the phone in bootloader mode (make sure battery is over 50% charged).
To do this, press the Camera button down, hold it there, and press soft reset. Let off the soft reset button BUT continue to hold the camera button down until you see 4 color bands on the screen. Let go of the camera button when they appear.
2. Connect USB cable to PC.
3. Re-run imate JAMin full flash .EXE file. Should work fine and get you back to normal.

Thanks for your help. I tried that before 5 times and the phone would get stuck on the boot splash screen. Now I cannot even get the phone into bootloader mode anymore unless it is plugged directly into the outlet. I do not know why it is doing this. I have charged the battery all the way. I also have a magician so I have tried 2 different batteries charged all the way. Since I can only get the bootloader mode while it is plugged directly to the wall, I cannot connect it to the pc. I have no idea why it is doing this. I just want to try restoring from an SD card rom backup before I send it in to imate.
I have made a sd image from my ROM and uploading it now. It's about 54 MB. I also tested to flash my Imate with this card and it works good. When you enter bootmode with the sdcard inserted it asks if it should restore from card. At this point press the comm manager button (the button under the volume control).
It's a image on a 128 MB SD card. You just have to write the image to your card with ntrw.
Good luck and let us know the results!

Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate it. I just hope it works. If it does not work for me at least others can get this sd image to fix their prophets in the future if they cannot get it to connect to their PCs. I will let you know my results.
Do you know if the device has to be unlocked already or can you use this to get around the CID lock?
The SD card flash did not work for me. I was hoping the RGB color screen was the bootloader but it was not. I guess there is something wrong with my JAMin so I am sending it in to imate in the middle east. I would like to thank Swartb for taking the time to get the ROM image on SD card.
To answer the CID lock question, I think it does not bypass it so if you want to use the SD card to restore it has to be the same phone model so in this case the JAMin.
Hi!!!! could you tell me where is that SD copy of your ROM????
Thnaks!!!!!!
Hi guys and gals,
How could I explain my problem...
Let's give it a try!
I have a PDA model Orange SPV1500 (the same machine also comes as Alpine, Qtek 2020i, XDA2i, etc).
Anyway, I decided to upgrade the ROM to get the latest one and to have it in Spanish, as it is my native language...
Apparently, the only way to do this is using a memory card, so I did in the following way:
I used:
The PDA (obviously)
Sd card 256 mb
The actual infor in spanish of how to do it:
http://www.pcdemano.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13789
Spanish ROM file from Telefonica: Qtek2020iESN.nb1
romupdate.exe
ntrw.exe
CPART.EXE
MERGE.COM
SPLIT.COM
HEX Editor (HEX WorkShop)
------------------------------
1 - Using Romupdate.exe with the PDA connected to the PC in "bootloader" mode, I 'ask it' to make a copy of the ROM on the SD card (d2s 80000000 3F00000)
2 - I then take the card out of the PDA andI insert it in my card reader. Using CPART.EXE I copy the file in the HD (i.e.: ntrw read ROM.nb1 L
3 - I extract the 3 programs inside the rom file using SPLIT.EXE (split ROM.nb1)
4 - I open one of the 3 files extracted with the hex editor (HEADER.NB1) as well as the updated 'telefonica' ROM I have (Qtek2020iESN.nb1). I put the header from my rom into the telefonica one.
5 - I merge together my new Spanish ROM with the header file I extracted from my PDA with SPLIT.COM (header.nb1 + ext.img + trailer.nb1---->NEWROM.nb1)
6 - I write the new file to the SD card (ntrw write newrom.nb1 L
7 - I insert the SD card into the PDA, put it in "bootloader" mode and follow the on-screen instructions: I press the power button to start the transfer process of the new ROM to the PDA.
8 - It shows an error!!, but it seems to have finished...
9 - I restart it and...
NOTHING!
DEAD!!!
I never saw it move anymore!!
---------------------------------------------
After some research, I think I may have made a mistake when copying/pasting the ROMS
I have compared their sizes and they are 36 bytes different!
- ROM.NB1: 244 MB (255.852.544 bytes)
- NEWROM.NB1:243 MB (255.852.508 bytes)
Does anybody know if they actually have to have the exact same size??
Now I can't (anybody knows how?!) put the PDA back in bootloader more, so I can not put the old ROM back in...
The only way in wchi I manage to get any sign of life is to plug it to the pc or charger and the red charging LED lights up!
There actually seems to be a lot of power consumption! After 6 hours of inserting a full battery, it goes down to 50% (I used another PDA to check it!)
Is there any way to make the PDA go to bootloader mode?! Serial or, anything?!?!
Any suggestions, PLEASE!?!
Does you screen display anything?
Did you keep your original back-up of your ROM (ie. what you flashed to your SD card)?

I don't see anything on the screen, ANYTHING.
And yes, i keep my original ROM in the SD card and the hard disk
Thanks for your reply,

Try....
Insert your SD Card and perform a "hard reset". Does this give you the option to "reflash your ROM' with the ROM Image on your SD card?

This will never give u any options.
You need to put it in bootloader mode(engg mode) and then do a SD card ROM image flashing
kdskamal,
Thanks for the tip. You're right. I haven't done this for a while. I realized my mistake re-reading some posts at www.buzzdev.net.
Mino,
Eject your SD card with your original rom files.
Put your device in bootloader mode by pressing Power button + D-pad simultaneously +reset button with the stylus for 3 seconds
Once you see "Serial 1.XX", insert your SD card with your original ROM image.
You should be able to reflash it at that point.
Justin
That's the question!
I can't put the PDA in bootloader mode! I push power button, etc and the screen continues in black, nothing!
The only solution is to replace the electronic card, therefore you must send it in assistance. About 115€! :?
Hi all ive got a Orange SPV M3100. I downloaded "HER_VODA_1201616_1030600_UK_SHIP". When its boots up it gose as far as windows mobile screen and freezes anyone know i can reset it back to my orange software so i can use it again?

ok what one do i use coz im confused :S
It sounds like this....
Type 2c: When the phone boots, it doesn't pass the windows mobile logo
What SPL do you have. If it hasn't been Hard SPLed (SPL : 2.10 olipro) before you started flashing you have a BIG problem and a LOT of hair pulling frustration ahead....
When its in bootloader it says HERM100 IRP-1.00 and HERM100 SPL-1.09
no one know how i can get it to work again?
Does it say 1.09 Des?
If so this is soft spl (SSPL). You should be able to put the .nbh file of the os you want to flash on an sd card formatted fat32. Rename it to "hermimg.nbh" and put it in the Hermes. Reset to bootloader - hold power, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. If it is SSPL then it should recognise the flash files on the sd card and ask you to hit the power button to continue. Once you get the os working READ ABOUT AND INSTALL HARD SPL - information and apps needed found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...
erm can u give me more details how to do this please?
Before doing this try a hard reset - Both softkeys held down and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until it asks if you want to reset the os back to factory. Push r on the slide out keyboard then press space. If that doesn't work.....
SD card method...
1. Format sd card fat32. copy the .nbh file of the rom you want onto it. Rename it to Hermimg.nbh.
2. Isert sd card back into hermes. Reset into bootloader - hold power button, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold in until tri-colour (bootloader) screen appears.
3. If its ACTUALLY registering sspl then it SHOULD register the flash file. Follow the prompts...
This will ONLY work if you have Hard SPL installed or doing it more dangerously with Soft SPL (sspl - 1.09 des).
Cheers...
ok im confused about the last step u said how am i spose to get the file on the card if ive not got a card reader ? and is there a step by step online i can have? so i know how its done?
Get a card reader, you can pick them up CHEAP.... Also make sure the sd cad is less than 2Gb.
All instructions above Are from on online, I just put them in step form...
