PW10B1's ID as PW10A1

[Marcin]

For some odd reason my T-Mobile PW10B1 (as labeled on the back of the device) is identified as PW10A1 in Device Information. I never paid any attention to that, but I got an error 012 when trying to upgrade to T-Mobile W2003. I'm currently running 3.17.03 (the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2), so perhaps prior upgrade affected the stock ID change from B to A.

How do I change it back to PW10B1, or how do I go about installing W2003 on my messed up device.

Thanks,

Marcin

Marcin,

i have the same with my AT&T. however i'm able to upgrade it to WM2003. the only thing confusing me that after upgrade it is stuck on splash screen, no further load. i tried different methods and versions... no results...

if you find the answer, please let me know

I can fix the problem!

Marcin, all you need to do is get an sd card and reader writer, you can then do the sd method of flashing which bypasses version checking. You will need xdatools also, just pass your mouse over xdatools link and you can download it from there.

Nice advice, cgigate...that was very helpful...

cruisin,

I am in the same situation as marcin.

Please confirm my understandingof the bootloading from SD:
1. Using the SD+card reader, I copy the W2003 NK.NBF file to the SD.
2. Insert the SD card into the XDA
3. Goto the bootloader mode (power + soft reset) and press the middle of the rocker key.
4. After the ex counter increases.. at the end, press hard reset.
5. After 60 sec press hard reset again

If this is correct then why do I need the XDATools for?

[cruisin-thru]

Copying the file to sd will not work, it needs to be in a special format for the xda to boot the rom burning procedure, you will need xdatools. At the end you push the unscrewed end of the stylus into the tiny hole bottome right of xda, then again after 60 seconds and you should have a working system.

Thanks cruisin-thru.
I want to be very clear before starting the upgrade, so..Do I use the OSImageTool to special format for the XDA to boot from the SD?
Thanks again for your patience!

BTW: I did steps 1 to 4 of "unlock Wiz/Wallaby/SER/Backup and
now I (like marcin, have my T-Mobile PW10B1 identified as
PW10A1). I have yet to do the steps 5, 6 and 7. If I do these
steps. Will the identification be corrected?

so..Do I use the OSImageTool to special format for the XDA to boot from the SD?

yes after osimagetool have copied the rom to the sdcard the card should be unreadble to anything but the xda's bootloader

It is my great pleasure to have great and helpful people who advised and suported me in my XDA fiddling adventures. I have now upgraded to W2003 and unlock my phone to use any provider I wish.

Thanks to all!

I have a XDA PW10A1 without the instalation cd-rom where do i find the drivers for my XDA ....... please help me !!!

[cruisin-thru]

Valikos, the only installation you should need is activesync which is freely downloadable from the microsoft web page.

[valikos]

If i have Win98 SE my computer do not see my xda , there are not drivers for 98 ? ....

[Biso007]

Just make sure you have the latest ActiveSync version which is 3.7.1 ... sometimes uninstall then re-install solves this issue.

[valikos]
