How can I flash to WM2003 with bootloader 5.22. Other than the diagnostics menu, all I see (when hitting contacts) is:

CE ROM to SD
BOOT to SD
CE+BOOT to SD
GSM ROM to SD
CE+GSM to SD

Thanks in advance...

You need first to use an sd card and a card reader/writer, using the tools available on the forum you program the card with the rom image, you then place this in your xda, push power while using stylus to push in the hole on base of xda, the system will recognise the rom and ask you would you like to program the rom. Its a good idea to use that bootloader section that you are in to backup your existing rom first, ce to sd.

Thanks for the reply. I've done all that you said, but the bootloader just comes to a bootloader screen with the version and nothing else. It never asks me to do anything with the ROM. When I hit the contacts button, like in earlier versions of bootloader, there is no menu option to restore from SD.

there is no option for that, it does this automatically if you instert an sd card with the os image in the right format.

OSImageTool (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/OSImageTool) can create such an sd card for you.

I'm not sure what I have done wrong in creating the image then. I used xdatool with NK.nbf as the source and NK.nb1 on an SD card in a card reader as the destination. It creates fine, and when I enter the boot loader on my SX56, it goes from WAIT to GSM OK and then sits.

it does not matter what is on the sd-card before you write the os image on it using xdatools. the old data on the card is overwritten.

if you insert the card with the osimage on it in your xda, it should complain that the card is not formatted, if it says this it is ok, it just means that windows ce does not see a FAT filesystem on the card.
( so don't answer 'yes' to that question )

if you then boot into bootloader mode, you should get the question if you want to flash your rom.

I don't get the question to flash my rom. Please, what am I missing???

XDAtools:
Browse to NK.nbf as the source
Browse to NK.nb1 on SD reader as the destination
Boot with SD card into Wallaby
Screen goes from WAIT to GSM OK.

Nothing else.

I can see a file NK.nb1 on the card when I look at it in the card reader.

Do not use browse, use the drop down box in destination, choose sd card, then it will work, when you insert the card to your xda it will ask to format it, reply no and enter bootloader mode as you did before.

There is something about this bootloader that does not allow this or this option is disabled. I hvae the same problem and have flashed amny times on other bootloader version. I have a device with bootloader 5 and the same sd card flash that would not work on the bootloader 5.22 works on 5.15! So I don't have any idea. Something new form HTC :shock: I guess.

this is wrong


a sd card with the os image on it should appear as 'unformatted' or unreadable to either windows or windows ce.

you have to select sd card device from the dropdown menu.

such that the destination says something like

J: 123M USB Storage MMC[/quote]
