Problems!!

[Electrostar]

If i want to upgrade my wallaby i get an error message in the communications procedure. I have downloaded my ROM from lumpy's kitchen and ive tried to upgrade it many times right now.

Can anyone give me an advise how i could hardflash the ROM of my device?

I think you get an communication error when trying to flash via ActiveSync.

You have to flash via bootloader....

Ive tried to Bootload te rom, but after the message "connect your USB now" the device does not react anymore.

I have tried to run the application rom but this says that active sync does not recognize a device.


What should i do next?

Thanks for the quick respond!!

[Electrostar]

Even if i make a bacup to SD this doesnt work. There no explaination how to hard flash the device! Can you give me an advise???

[LumpiStefan]

What have you done exatcly, and where is the problem?
It's not really clear for me.

For Flashing via SD-Card there is no USB connection necessary....

I have tried to flash with the bootloader. When i push on the on/off putton and do soft reset i see the question "connect to USB now". If i connect and i start the rom nothing happens.

Afterwards i have tried to put the rom on my SD card. I have tried to do this OSimagetools. The pc does recognize the SD card in my wallaby. I also dont have a cardreader.

Is there a way to flash my wallaby in the bootloader-mode with the USB connection?

What do i have to do for it?

Thanks

Strange.

You should see device displays a background that consists of four equally sized vertical bars, colored (from top to bottom) white, red, green and blue. On top of this, it says:


WALLABY
Bootloader

V5.14





WAIT

After a few seconds, the WAIT is replaced by GSM OK. Both messages are in the blue bar, but have a white background.


What do you get?

What is labeld on your rear sticker of the device? (modell) ?

Its model: PW10A1
SN: HT220cc15300
PN: 99HJ00007-00

Step 1)I have seen the horizontal bars. And its version 5.18. Ive also seen the "GSM OK"- notification.

Step1a)If i connect it afterwards to my USB nothing happens. The computer does not recognize the Wallaby.

Step2) If i hold the On/Off button i get the message "Connect to USB now" If i do this, activesync does recognize my device and i cannot install the ROM.

Step3) after step 1 i press the contacts button and i see 6 ways to backup my rom or GSM. I have backedup my GSM and ROM to SD. But this has no use for me.

Greetz,

Ok. Now I see.....

First of all, you have an totaly unknown Bootloader (5.18) to me, so i hope all steps will work....

You require a SD-Card with >= 64 MB
XDATools ftp://xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip
Your downloaded ROM from my kitchen

step1) Boot your XDA up normal and connect via active sync (guest partnership is ok)
step2) Copy all your data of your sd-Card to your local PC otherwise all data on it will be gone
step3) Enter bootloader of your device by pressing On/Off and doing a softreset
step4) After the Message GSM OK press the Contact Button of your device
step5) Navigate with the pad to "CE+BOOT TO SD"
step6) Confirm this with the Action Key (Press the middle of the Navigate-Pad)
step7) After finishing enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
step8) Bootloader should tell you something tah OS is detected on your SD-Card

If No -> Problem
If Yes -> continue


step9) Boot your XDA up normal and connect via active sync (guest partnership is ok)
step10) Install XDATools on your PC
step11) in a dos -box (cmd) go to the directoy where osimagetool is located
step12) enter command: "osimagetool -r xdasdslot -w original.nbf"
step13) enter command: "osimagetool --register"
step14) extract the downloaded ROM using winzip
step15) Run osimagetool
step16) Select the nbf-file in the english-folder of the extracted lROM as source and XDASlot as destination
step17) After finishing enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
step18) Bootloader should tell you something tah OS is detected on your SD-Card
step19) Press Action Key to install the ROM
step20) After finishing do a hard reset
step21) Now your ROM should be installed on your device.
step22) Locate the created file original.nbf and compress it using winzip
step23) Upload the compressed file to ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/Uploads
step24) Enjoy your new ROM

That should be alll .....

Thanks, But when i extract the rom to a folder, OS Imagetools cannot find the nbf-file. There is no nbf-file in the extracter-rom-folder. I can only find an nb-file.

There is a file called "NK" which says that its an NBF-file(properties). The file is 32MB large. I have tried to select this file (step 16), but the file is not being recognized. Even if i change the extension of the filename. The OSimage does not support this file.

I Have tried this with 3 ROM's : 2003 SE, 2003 and 2002 neither of them contain the nbf-file in the english folder.

Do you have an advice? I think i am very close right now!!

Thanks,

[Electrostar]

I have sucseeded to install 2002, but 2003 SE wont be recognized. It says its an usupported file.

Has this anyting to do with the fact that i renamed the file? If so can you tell me how to change the file back??

I have downgraded my wallaby to PPC 2002 right now.


Thanks Lumpi!!

[LumpiStefan]

WM2003SE couls only be installed via Exe-File. It can not be flashed with the osimagetool.
