Done a bad bad thing ? Not booting. Please help !

[macsonny]

Hey All,

Recenty tried to upgrade by Wallaby using the SD card/Bootloader trick. Cooked a ROM for MW2003 SE and got it onto the SD no problems.

All went through per the instructions and I was happy.

Did a hard reset. Waited 30 seconds and then did another hard reset.

Unit will not boot.

Do a soft reset. Still no boot.

Hold down power and do a soft reset gets me into the boot loader.

So, I have a unit which won't boot.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Sonny

try upgrading again ?

try downgrading to an old 2003 rom ?

[macsonny]

I tried about 3-4 different ROMs that I cooked. None worked. Same problem.

All started when I loaded in the T-Mobile update.

Should I try loading the same ROM a few times in a row ?

Cheers

tried the fix bootloader in the xdatools ?

[macsonny]

I have bootloader 5.17 so using the bootloader patch which is working fine per the instructions on this site.

When I load in the T-Mobile ROM, everything is fine although the SD Backup application doesn't work and I can't restore all my backed files.

If I could get SD BAckup to work, Id be happy with the T-Mobile ROM.

When I load in the T-Mobile ROM, the Wallaby Patch loads the ROM and checksum is ok. When I use any other ROM, the unit will not boot and the Wallaby Patch gives me a checksum error.

So, is there another version of SD Loader I could use ?

Oh, and when I try a .EXE ROM, like the 2003 ROM, I get an error about the USB port being closed and I can't get the file to load.

Any ideas there ?

Cheers

Sonny

You can try downgrading the bootloader.
