Problems!!

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....

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.

ActiveSync via Bluetooth link [solution]

I find this solution for running ActiveSync connected thru BT via one click. I tried it on my MDA Compact and it works.
Hope it helps.
http://www.mtekk.com.au/Forums/tabid/56/postid/14926/view/topic/Default.aspx
On the Pocket PC...
1. ActiveSync / Tools / Options... / Options... (yes options twice)
2. "When cradled Enable PC sync using this connection" 'Bluetooth
3. Startup an ActiveSync connection as you normally would...
4. Now setup a shortcut to the program "windows\repllog.exe" into the Start menu. To do this
a. open up Explore in ActiveSync
b. Go into My Pocket PC
c. Go into Windows folder
d. Find repllog.exe and right click and select copy
e. Go into the Start Menu folder (within Windows folder)
f. Right click, paste shortcut - rename to something like ActiveSync Direct
Back on the Pocket PC
5. Gracefully disconnect ActiveSync.
6. Start / Settings / Buttons
7. Choose Button 4
8. Set the button assignment as ActiveSync Direct (or whatever you called it above) and click OK
9. Reset your Pocket PC and wait about 15 seconds for everything to get loaded (esp. Bluetooth which takes a little while).
10. Press the top left side button. Voila! Easy!
If you get the ActiveSync - "Port Not Available" message, it just means that Bluetooth hasn't loaded yet. Tap OK, check that Bluetooth is activated and if so, try again.

Thanks for the post. Ive been having trouble getting this to work however.

d. Find repllog.exe and right click and select copy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Im using WM5, and firstly i dont have the option..option menu and secondly when i try to paste repllog it tells me that the file is copy protected or something like that.
Any ideas???
Help appreciated.....

Try to use Resco File Explorer instead of M$ Explorer. When you 'right click' on Windows/repllog.exe, there is 'Send To...' -> 'Start Menu as Shortcut' option in menu.

How can i delete those comports?in device manager under advanced in com1, tells me that from com2-com80 are in used.?????
Any idea, thanks

remove your stack from PC, then delete all com ports except 1 & 2 , use buttons windows + break & install stack again!

in properties of each ports set different com for example com1 , ignore errors , delete free changed one! do so with each wrong port

THANKS A LOT! PROBLEM WITH COM79,COM80,COM81......FIXED
thanx rustoss, you are BIG! i dont unplug usb stack even.....i just ignore all notifications and change my only COM1, to com5, and thats it!.i can activesync by bt again.thanks again :lol: :lol:

Noob here! - Bit of advice

Guys,
I have a standard O2 Orbit here and I am looking at installing this TouchFLO ROM I've seen on this forum. However I'm a bit worried about bricking my phone.
Can somebody just give me a few steps to follow. I've searched but I have to say I got a bit confused when reading about CID locks etc...
Any help greatly appreciated.

You have to run USPL first (USPL by "Pof")
You will find it at STICKY Section.
Mostly all the ROM here lately allready built in USPL. so it will automatically takes you to the next DSUU windows.
but if you really wants Step by Step:
-----------------------------------
1. Make sure your Activesync is version 4.5 (or Above).
2. Refresh your PC by "RESTART" and enter WindowsXP again (just to make sure your PC running fresh).
3. Refresh your PDA by "Soft reset" your PDA, wait until finish (just to make sure your PC running fresh).
4. Make sure you have 80% or more Battery.
5. Connect your device to PC via activesync using USB only.
6. wait until "connected" or "Syncronized".
7. Enter folder USPL.
8. Double click "start_uspl.exe" (small yellow ball icon).
9. Black screen will appears... start uploading 10%..20%.... until 100%
10. Update windows will appear... Follow instruction by clicking "NEXT" or tick "YES I AGREE..bla bla" check box.
11. The progress bar will appear... wait until Finish.
12. Do not unplug the USB cable or your PDA become brick.
13. When finish your PDA Restart itself... and normally enter the today screen.
14. If not working try it again from Step: 5 (sometimes need to try more than one)
13. If your PDA restart itself and Show the SPL number is changes then CONGRATULATIONS you have finish install the USPL.
Next step is to Upgrade your ROM using DSUU (its on the ROM folder)
14. install DSUU is simple just double click "ROMUpdateUtility.exe"
15. Update windows will appear & follow instructions.
I Hope it helps..
best regards,
Wens

I'm assuming it won't differ if I'm using Vista as my client and not Win XP?

Also, is it possible to do this Via Bluetooth as my bloody USB cable isn't working correctly!

Vista not using Activesync, but WDMC
you can download at microsoft Website.
Upgrade ROM only can be done using USB cable. other won't work.
Good Luck!

- Install Windows Mobile Device Center 6 for Windows Vista
- On your artemis launch Bootloader and connect with your PC using usb cable. (For bootloader press Voice Dial + On/off button at the same time till you see a multi colored screen)
- Do exactly what the tutorial describe here: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
- Your driver is changed so you can cid unlock your artemis now, do this by using USPL. (download below + manual). Remember to use the same usb port where you changed the driver from, otherwise the connection get lost and you have a update error.
- You can now search for a cooked rom of your choice and simply flash it by running the RUU.exe.

I did Slider's
...I followed the instructions but after step 9
(9. Black screen will appears... start uploading 10%..20%.... until 100%) nothing happened on my phone.
Any ideas. No "Next" or anything...the update rom utility just fired off (running the USPL from the Touch Rom directory

the prob seems to be vista......
or it could be the o2 offical WM6 rom
mine will upload the offical O2 rom but everything else fails.
people tell me im doing it wrong but have followed the driver swap step by step on 2 diff vista machines with no joy.

just borrow somebodyelse Windows XP Machines.. that'll do.

ode 402: Cannot communicate with device fix

Since the day I bought my iPaq 614 I wanted to update it to the newest version, but every time the HP RUU would return a "Code 402: can not communicate with device". I've searched for hours to fix this problem only to find out tips like 'disable your firewall and A/V' and 'don't use Vista'. But today I found the solution:
Normally, Active Sync acts as a DHCP server for your Windows Mobile device, but this doesn't work if Windows Mobile isn't running which is the case when you're flashing a new ROM. In this case, the Internet Connection Sharing service should deal with assigning the right addresses, but since I normally don't use ICS, I had this service disabled.
Because of this, no addresses where assigned and no communication path could be set up between my computer and my iPaq. Simply be re-enabling this service (and the dhcp client service, don't know if you really need it, but I enabled it just to be sure) I fixed the annoying code 402 error
Hope this information is helpful because it looks like I'm the first one to discover this solution
//edit: damn, can a mod change add a 'C' to this post's title

i got a code 402 while updating RUU_1.8.0_081208_MP_M089_WWE (radio fm 0.89) now i am stuck withthe HP blue screen.

If your 614c dies during radio update, please have a look here.

solved !!!
Found post on HP forum.
OKâ ¦unfortunately previous note wasnâ t so accurate.
Iâ ve tried this solution once again and it doesn't work properly.
Iâ ve spend much time reading many articules on pocket/mobile forums and I found 2 workaround methods to upgrade our iPAQs.
Starting from the beginning.
We have to download ROM from HP Support site (in *.exe format) and executed it to unpack all files (as Iâ ve already written in C:/iPAQ ).
Among many files that we have, find FLASH.NBF file and edit it using HEX-editor (i.e. xvi32). When we display the context of a file, we have to delete first 3432 bytes (in xvi32 editor - XVIscript > Editorâ ¦ > type command DEL 3432 and press Execute â then close the editor without saving and then save file on HDD as FLASH.DIO). When we create FLASH.DIO file we have to decide which method weâ ll use.
1. METHOD is:
Just copy FLASH.DIO file on empty microSD card. Put inside of our device and turn it on in SDLoader mode (VOICE UP + OK + RESET). Important thing is to fully charge the battery of the device.
2. METHOD is:
We change the type of FLASH.DIO to FLASH.nb0 â just rename.
We have to search network for DNW app and execute it. Firstly in Configuration tab select Option and change connection type from 0xc000000 to 0x3000000 (USB). Secondly turn on our device in DOWNLOAD IMAGE mode (VOICE DOWN + OK + RESET) and connect it to PC. In SEC folder (subfolder of DNW) we can find drivers that we have to install after connecting iPAQ. When weâ ve covered everything, we select USB Port > UBOOT > and select our FLASH.nb0 file.
For me worked first method!
