I got hold of a XDA with malfunctioning roms. I get the diagnose and SD flash utilities. nothing else
I can flash to a SD and when i reboot the unit flash the roms with the corrupt data.
I freshly baked a rom in the kitchen, wrote it to the SD card but the XDA unit does not see the rom images. The bootloader is too old someone told me.
Is there anyone ( in the Netherlands? ) who uses 5.14 that can flash the image to my SD so i can work from there on?

I tried the tools.
When i get the flashed RAM out of the XDA and put it in a cardwriter the computer says that the card has not been formated and wants to format it.
As soon as the formatted SD is put into the XDA the card is not recognised and the CE boot option is not available.

you should do the opposit thing ... using XDAtools, copy the ROM .nbf file to the SD card ... put the SD card into the XDA, if it asks to format the card press NO ... goto the boot loader and it will ask you to press action to start flashing

I have a freshly baked ROM from the romkitchen on the SD.
I inserted it in the XDA, but i see no way to get into the bootscreen and get the file flashed into the ROM.
Probably because the bootloader is a wrong version. A person told me i should have 5.15 to do this. I have version 5.14

Have you tried copying the .nbf file directly to the xda ROM using XDAtools ?
If worked, it will update your boot loader to 5.15
In case not, in the XDAtools\binaries directory on your PC, run this
pnewbootloader bootloader_5_15.nb0
then try the SD method

The problem is that the XDA has no other way to access the data then through the SD. There is no active sync of infra red available.
The data has to be readable by Wallby 5.14. Flashing a rom done by the kitchen requires a wallaby loader higher than 5.14 which i do not have.
My request was to find someone who could flash his working rom using wallaby 5.14 to my SD. This data should be readable by my XDA.
As soon as this has happend my XDA should be working again and i could upgrade my loader to version 5.15.
