Cannot flash O2 ROM to SD card

[Diki]

I am not able to Flash the original O2 ROm to the SD card.
I have copied the file NK.NB1 using XDAtools to the SC card and did a soft reset.

It does not work. Can someone please help me and give me the exact steps to do the same.
I have WM2003 (tmobile) on the phone memory. Wallaby bootloader ver. 6.22.
Please help me.

Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
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".

It does not bring me to that screen on the bootloader after the reset.
It just says GSM OK.

please help...

I have WM2003 (tmobile) on the phone memory. Wallaby bootloader ver. 6.22.

6.22 doesn't recognize ROMs on SD cards ... you have to downgrade it to 5.15 ... and I doubt you can do it coz tmobile ROMs prevent USB flashing :(

Anyway, try this ... under \XDAtools\binaries directory run this command while your device is connected

pnewbootloader bootloader_5_15.nb0

[Diki]

I just tried and this is what the cmd window says:

D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_5_15.nb0
ERROR: fopen(bootloader_5_15.nb0) - The system cannot find the file specified.

ERROR reading bootloader

Please help me...............please

[Biso007]

Oops :oops: ... there is a missing "v"

The file name is bootloader_v5_15.nb0

[LumpiStefan]

Or just try bootloaderfix.bat

This will do the same... ;-)

This is what I got now:


D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
'D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: ITReadProcessMemory - Unspecified error

Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect

D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>

[Biso007]

I believe this is a DOS error as it can't read "Program Files" as a full name due to the space character.

Try running this command your self from the DOS command window

[Diki]

same error message. typed the whole command myself.

[Diki]

anything?? any answers???
:idea:
:shock:

[Biso007]

might be a silly advice :oops: ... copy the 2 files to a different directory with a short name ... ex. C:\Test ... and make sure that the device is connected to ActiveSync and in sync

somebody please tell me

sorry in bad english....

[xdaman@ji-net.com]

may be it's can help u

fist please read this fixbootloader.zip is work for .........

This tool depends on specific memory locations for certain roms.
It does verify that it is talking to a known rom. It also does a very
minimalisitc check if the file presented to it resembles a bootloader.

I tested it with 3.16.52, 4.00.10 and 3.04.00 ( the very old ppc2003 rom ).
It should also work with 3.17.03, 3.19.01, 4.00.01 and 4.00.05.

unpack the archive, from the command prompt, in the 'build' directory
run 'pnewbootloader bl515.nb0'.

it should take about 10 seconds.

output should be something like this:

C:\fix\build>pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0

result: 00000000 00000000

D:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
'D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
yeah it's a long file name issue

i think it needs to be d:\program^1 insted of d:\program files
if you make a dir command in the root of the consol it should display
all the names of the dirs in the root
and that should make it clear how the consol inpert the progra files dir name
