Trying to fix my XDA using Boot Loader

[essjw]

I am trying to get my failed ugrade XDA working by loading the upgrade files using boot loader. I am using XDArit to to wright the upgrade files to the MMC card and then flashing it. It is getting worse. Do you think it is because the files are in cab format. Should I be unpacking them, or what.

Please help I am getting knowhere.

Ok here you go!

Qman's 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".

BTW the above is based on using XDArit version 1.0 which can be download from the software section at:
