Stuck on a basic issue

[phil.cooke]

I was trying to upgrade my Wallaby from WIN CE to Win 2003. I managed to mess up the ROM upgrade using active sync and so am now stuck on the white screen!

I can get to the bootloader screen ok (showing Bootloader 5.17 - soft reset with the power button) but can't get the device to boot from an SD card. I have downloaded XDATools and can run the osimage tool but I don't know what name to give the destination file, or what file extension. If I simply select the destination from the dropdown box, I get an error message when trying to write to the SD card (it's a 1Gb SD). I have also tried with a 64Mb MMC and get the same errors.

I've also tried browsing to the destination (card reader) and using nk.nb1 as the file name but when soft resetting to boot loader I don't get the option to boot from the SD card.

I'm well versed with flashing Universals or Himalayas but the Wallaby has me stumped currently!

Any help please?

I don't know much about updating wallaby because I discovered this forum too late, but I updated the rom via activesync. The rom was in an .exe program cooked from www.romkitchen.de (very easy).
I read somewhere (I can't remember) that other ways of upgrading where difficult, I don't know yours.

If i remember from my wallaby you had to use a program to format and install the image to the sd card. You couldnt just copy the nbf file straight to the card. Once the sd card was created the card was no longer readable by windows. But it contained the image and the wallaby booted but i am sure it would only work with a 32mb card

Well I finally found out what was causing the issues. Bloody Windows Vista!!! Ran the XDATools on my XP system and managed to load the sd card without any problems, then proceeded to upgrade (downgrade??) the boot loader to 1.15 and now have it running with Windows 2003SE (I think - can't quite remember as I've zapped it so many times trying to get a ROM I like).
