XDA DVLPRS - please help! [himalaya not entering bootloader]

[ID64]

My iMATE is no longer entering Bootloader mode. Not by pressing hardware buttons, not by initiating bootloader mode by upgrade programm. It just restarts device. I am afraid, that I am going to stuck with the ROM version I currently have, wich is bummer because Second Edition is coming out soon.

Any suggestions how to fix this? I remember that by Bootloader was version 1.03.

I have a serial cable, SD reader and SD card as my tools.

Please, help.

Regards.

I wonder, if similar tool exist for himalaya:

OK, I did some research and found following utilities:

savebootlader.exe

pnewbootloader.exe

Please, tell me. If I'll get dump of bootloader 1.03 ( the one I've had on my machine) from working XDA2 and then upload it by pnewbootloader IT WILL FIX MY PROBLEM? and does it really necessary to have the same bootloader version or I can use any, 1.01, 1.06?

TIA

I really hope that it will :)

got bootloader dumped by people here (thanks a lot again!), but when I try to put it back to machine I am getting

C:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader.nb0
this is possibly not a bootloader!!

C:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader -f bootloader.nb0
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect

Looks like this utility is not designed for XDA2.
