[Chupa]

Hello,

can someone please help me?
Needed to unlock my XDA goes nobody could do it here ;-(

Crashed in the upgrading screen:
it wil take about 5 minutes ....

Has Wallaby Bootloader V5.15

I have already a ROM file NK.nb1 file from the ROMkitchen,

but i don't know how to get it working on my messed up XDA.
Have read a lot in this forum but really don't know much about programming ;-(

is it possible to make a copy from my working XDA (with XDAtools) and then replace the NK.nb1 file or something? and how can i get it into it?
read a lot about Bootloader but sorry don't know how to handle ;-(

If someone could help me -> THANKZ

Greetingz from Holland,

ok...

if you dont have an SD-CARD reader, get one!
then, from ROM UPDATE FORUM, find and download XDA TOOLS.
RUN xda tools.
it will ask you for source, (most likely C:\program files\RUU\ENGLISH)
and will ask for destination, since xda dont work, use SD READER
Start Copying to card
when done, insert card into xda
reboot via bootloader ( thats when you powerup with on/off button pressed and soft reset)
IT should detect that there is a system on the card, and ask if u want to install it.
press the ACTION button for yes. (thats the big silver button between the fone buttons)

thats realy IT
if you need more help... email me, or better yet add me to MSN messenger, if u have one. i'll walk you thru it.
thanks to a great warranty, i've practiced and tested alot of xda's :P
but now that i mastered it ( i think) i stuck to one :D

[Chupa]

Thankzzzzzzz

It worked :P

Was a little late so i didn´t do it wright myself :oops:
Copied the file to SD
instead of doing it with XDA tools to SD

Works now fine.

Had some trouble with GSM and T/mobile card, but copied with XDA tools from working XDA to SD and now it works.

Keep this file on an SD card so now i can try to load ROM´s or upgrade to 2003 cause i can always put it back, so no risk!

Thankz Again,

I created one nb1 file using Jeff's kitchen, use XDATools write it to a SD Card, slot it into my XDA, press on/off button + soft reset key, bootloader screen (wallaby bootloader v5.17) appear, and say 'GSM OK', if press Action Key now will bring me to "Diagnostics" menu, if press Calendar key bring me to "Utilities" menu, if press Contact key bring me to "Flash Tools" menu, and if press Record Key bring will me to "USB Flash Mode", it didn't auto detect the SD card to allow me to flash my device, may I know where have I done wrong, anybody help? Thanks!

Sounds like the ROM imaged didn't make it to the SD card.
Do this test and report back on your results.

With the SD card still in the slot do a soft reset, if the image is on the card
your XDA should ask if you want to format the card.

[ycneosg]

It did ask me whether want to format the SD card.

Ok give it another shot but this time try using XDArit 1.0 to right to SD.
For more info. on XDArit visit: http://www.xda-developers.com/XDArit/
XDArit version 1.0 can be download from the software section at:
http://www.yorch.net

Just in case here is my 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".



HTH
&
Good Luck

[Qman]

Hi Guys,

I need your help :cry: .

I've downloaded the 4.00.16 ROM by mistake, it really didn't tell the ROM number, so now I want to revert to a earlier one and I can't.

I've got the following message: "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.

error getting devicedata" and then "ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR. Cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected."

PLEASE HELP ME, I'M REALLY STUCK NOW AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO... :cry:

[cgigate]

use SD to restore your system if you have backup!
if you still have problem to get your phone life back, send to me I will fix it for you!

[ritmo-unido]

I forgot to tell you, I haven't got SD :evil:

I've been using .EXE :cry:

similar situation but somewhat different.

I cooked a rom in kalex kitchen and wrote it to my sd card with my t-mobile pocket pc phone connected to activesync. I then flashed the phone from the sd card but got a checksum error at the end. I did a hard reset but only got a blank screen. Right now I can access the bootloader but that's it. I don't have a good backup rom because (not thinking) I wrote over it with the rom from kalex kitchen figuring it would become my backup (it must have somehow been corrupt). I tried writing the rom I previously had on my phone to an sd card directly through a card reader on windows 98, windows XP and windows ME all with no success. Thus, I'm dead in the water. I have no clue why I can't flash to the card reader. I went through a ton of posts here but have not found the answer yet to get me back working. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I have no clue why xdatools and xdarit are not working (especially on XP - I know they should not work directly to an sd card on windows 98 but I tried anyhow out of desperation). Please help.

[gadgetgeek]

used xdarit on another pc running windows xp and successfully wrote the rom to the sd card using my card reader. i then flashed my phone using the bootloader method and i'm up and working again!
