Hi there,

I have searched for this problem and found various suggestions involving xdarit etc but none seem to help.

I am getting the above message following a ROM flash, using sd card writen with xdarit. I have tried 3 different roms all producing the same result. Originally tried flashing with a w2003 rom but would be grateful to get anything working!!

The xda will now only show bootloader and some checks.

Wallaby bootloader 5.15

Anyone able to help?

Kind regards

Have you tried another SD-Card? MAybe there is a problem...
Flashed my device about 50 times, and had sometimes (about 2 or 3 times) the same problem.
Reflashing worked then fine...

Thanks for the link, I have been using these roms but will try try again.

Q Should xda be on mains power when flashing or does it make no difference ?

Hi

I have just downloaded a new rom and written to sd with xdarit, flashed and received following message again.
"CHECKSUM is not correct"

Could this have anything to do with the formatting of the sd card?

Anyone have any more suggestions

Kind regards

and of cause the sd card have to be 64MB or over a 32MB card will not do

Press Action to Download or REC to Exit.

Pressed action and got:-

"Flash Writing"


Followed by :-

Download completed

CheskSum is not correct

COLD BOOT TO RESET
