DevideData.txt only shows "U" any ideas?

---

Attempting to follow your dirctions in "Fix and prevent ROM upgrade/downgrade Country ID errors" but can't even get passed the first step. My DeviceData.txt only shows "U"

Have ran it half dozen times and nothing shows up. My unit is a TMobile MDA II and running Sin's SE update. His carriers are for Australia only so I need to ensure all is switched to TMobile US. Already did the upgrade and tried to use the OperatorUpdate but when attempting to reflash get the country code error. Hence on to your directions on the fix and hit that "U" only issue.

My system info is:

Unit: MDA II
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
ROM version: 2.06.00WWE
ROM date: 06/14/04
Radio version: 1.18.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: blank

I maybe found a way around the 1.06 bootloader problem. I have a Qtek 2020 wich i have upgraded to 2.20 (chiness translation of WM2003SE) and for some reason i want the original rom to replace it. It's a 1.75 (WM2003)

In the first place i try to simply update it. It fails with a contry error. So i tried to put the thing in bootloader (Holding down the navigator-key while doing a hard-reset) and put it back (still in bootloader) in the cradel and run the HimaUpgradUT anf BINGO!!! it works. My point of view is whenever this thing is in bootloader the upgrade utility have no access to the software version on the thing. You should se this figured out by the missing values of the old software at the top ofg thw update windoow while the thing is in bootloader. Haven't no vclue of trhe old software, the upgrade utility just upgrades the roms as normal without problems.

Just to be specific. It was at English translation of a chiness rrom i have before downgrading.

XDAII with bootloader 1.06 dowgraded !!

---

First of all, thanks to dcs for the post. I've just to downgrade a XDAII with bootloader 1.06, and I want to explain how it is.

First of all the XDA is featured with a ROM 1.72 ESN and with a bootloader 1.06 as well. My aim was to upgrade it to a 1.59 ESN, nevertheless I think wich version applies doesn't make any difference.

It's enough with making a backup of the current version (ms_.nbf, NK.nbf and Radio_.nbf). By using the commands provided by dcs it's easy to get the .nba files.

The procedure has to be repeated with all files you like to load (that ones from the new version), and ALL headers from the old files to the new files shall be copied (Carrier, Language, Version, model, etc.). Into the ms_.nba file it has to be copied twice.

Then after the files CRC shall be updated, as indicated by dcs, and the new files are encrypted once again, with the .nbf file, and finally the upgrade shall be executed.

Consequently I have succeded in restoring a "dead" XDA.

Cannot run HimaGetDeviceData

Hello,

I tried to upgrade my device and I followed the instructions. It started the upgrade but then suddenly said "Country Error". Now I am stuck with the USB/Serial boot screen and nothing else. I cannot reset the device and I can't communicate with the device. I cannot put HimaGetDeviceData on the device to get my device data to get the correct country code anymore. Is there any way to get around this?
THanks

Could someone post a guide in a *.txt file in order to download?

still unable to get going
