Dear XDA Developers #... and all other experts,
I had a T-Mobile MDA and I'm affraid that my bootloader had problem with all the buttons. The bootloader V5.15 boots and show GSM OK but none of the action buttons working ? Any Clue ?
Is the Intel #3204C 32MB Flash Memory chip store the bootloader and the WinCE because I had some technical guys who be able to clone the chips using some clonning machine.
Please advice as my MDA had been down for 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance
I would guess you have a hardware problem with the buttons.
Did flashed with SD card but checksum not correct
Dear Peter Poelman,
I did flashed with SD Card 2 weeks ago. Using the XDArit (old ver) and with O2 3.14.13 Rom. I did many restored but everytime it said restored completed but checksum not correct.
I did managed to see the O2 boot screen ( Blue O2) showig 3.14 at the right bottom of the screen but not be able to load the WinCE.
Is there a limit or counter that say number of times SD card restored ?
You think is hardware problem, any solution ? If you think where the fault is, maybe I be able to ask a Technical guy to open the MDA and repair it.
It is not possible to find any T-Mobile support around Asia.
Any respond would be much gratefull
Question: how big was the SD card you flashed with? (It has to be 64 MB minimum if you back up OS and bootloader at the same time.)
I would use XDArit to write an SD card (32 MB card is ok) that contains only the WinCE (OS) part, and try to flash from it. If your card is somehow corrupted, you can use XDArit to read from the OS from the Special Edition nbf-file inside Jeff's exe-file, which you can extract if you open the exe-file with WinZip.
Is there a limit or counter that say number of times SD card restored ?

They actually built such a mechanism for bootloader 5.17, but gave up on it (maybe after is was cracked by us?). But this really does not apply to you as you probably do not have this bootloader (or you would not have been able to make a backup).
Bootloader doesn't kick start to restore ?
I am using a 128MB SD Card.
Now even I wrote the SD Card with the new SER 1.1 .nbf files and insert the SD card into the XDA, Bootloader boots up but it doen't show the screen that say press action buttons to start restore ? It only show Wallaby Bootloader v 5.15 and freeze....
I am afraid that the bootloader on the XDA might be corrupted as well. Any tips or solution for these problem.
I remember reading in this forum saying that the XDA be able to lock all buttons accept the Power button. Seems like my case, the Power buttons, soft reset and hard reset buttons working only, the rest are not functioning. The XDA are still be able to charge on the craddle and the power worn off quite fast. Sometimes I even be able to see the Phone Cancel Buttons ( Red one ), the red light are always on...
Any help would be much grateful

You used XDArit to write the card, right?
You need to describe in much greater detail what you do for me or anyone to be able to help you.
I'm having a T-Mobile MDA in 3.13.12 GER ( 09/16/02) Radio T310
Bootloader v 5.15 and trying to flash O2 3.14.13 Eng Rom :
1. Using bootloader backup Boot+CE to SD Card.
2. Using XDArit (old ver) Read SD and store to PC ( WinXP )
3. Run RSU-eng of O2 Ireland, sucessfully upgrade, GSM no problem.
4. Run RUU-eng of O2 Ireland, Rom Image not found, error 007.
( forget to patch the NK_wallaby31413wwe_o2Full.nbf )
5. Decided to use XDArit (old ver ) to write Boot+CE ( O2 3.14.13).
6. Insert SD Card into MDA, flash restore compeleted but said checksum not correct
( Repeat many times of writing using XDArit (old ver), sometimes CE only but still checksum not correct )
7. Few occation, manage to see the O2 boot screen showing 3.14 but freeze
8. Left the MDA for few days and try the writing using XDArit again
9. Now soft boots, Bootloader boots show GSM OK, but none of the contact, calender and volume buttons work. If there is a SD card in the MDA, bootloader boots show v 5.15 but not be able to read SD Card.
( some of my posting are on Rom Upgrade forum under suajw)
Just to let you know all the about was done before the release of your SER v1.0 and v1.1 and the new version of XDArit v1.02
The MDA still be able to charge the power but will discharge if leave over night.
Any help will be much gratefull
InitDebugSerial can load bootloader+CE ?
Dear Peter Poelman,
If i boot the bootloader in a serial port from a PC using Hyper Terminal, do you think i be able to load the Bootloader+CE from a SD Card using the comand :
c2r ( from your Wallaby Bootloader Page )
Please advice and many thanks in advance
Notes : have not try using serial port to talk to the XDA
Good idea. Try and see, I guess.
Try hooking up the XDA to the serial com and it still not be able to communicate with XDA, even ? <enter> doesn't show any respond.
What could be the problem ?
By the way Peter Poelman, which is the chip that store the Bootloader+WinCE, I might need to ask someone to clon the chip for me from another XDA.
Thanks for your help and time

Can't speak for anyone else, but to be honest, I have no idea what your problem could be. It's something odd, and looking at the steps you performed, my first guess would be that it could be hardware related.
Did you try a different SD-card? 64MB or bigger (when doing BOOT+CE, 32 MB or bigger for CE)? A different SD-card reader/writer?
The fact that it first reported checksum error and now doesn't read the card at all is funny. Suppose there's nothing wrong with the bootloader that's in there, but that you have some weird hardware problem that messes up communication with the hardware-buttons and with the SD.
Once you tried a different SD-card: maybe open it up and clean the SD-card contacts? (And don't come complaining if you end up breaking it further, it's just an idea...)
Either way: I spent some time thinking about it and replying to your posts. Until new facts surface, I really have no clue what to do in your case, and unless I happen to come accross the same problem again, chances are I will not have a clue two days, two weeks or two months from now. Sorry....
Maybe you can have it repaired?
Good luck...
Still not working....
Dear XDA Developers #.....,
Tried with new SD Card and also clean up the contacts of the SD reader, still not be able to work????
Another thing I notice my MDA, when I boots in Bootloader Mode, after the GSM OK, the 'Phone Hangs Up' button always lighten up RED, is this normal. Is you XDA the same when in bootloader mode. The battery gets drain off easily, is it because the WinCE is not there as well????
By the ways, thank for all your reply and times. You have been a great help for me and I have learn quite a lots from these wonderful web site and forums. Keep up the good work......
I might not be able to find someone to repair the device but hopefully to look up for a secondhand O2 PCB Board to swap to...
Flashing bootloader with jtag?
Dear XDA Developers #....,
Do you think flashing the bootloader using jtag might solve my MDA problem ?
in your //xda-developers/jtag page you mention a patch do be download here.... I don't see the link to download the patches.
Could you please verify.....
Thanks
i recently tried to update my universal, with the crossbow rom, after pluging the device in my desktop, it started with the update, and placing a message, connection erorr , resulting in ,that my device is stuck in the boot mode, and will not react anymore.

I will tell you what I did it my be wrong but I unpluged the usb from the uni and pushed the front light button,power button and the reset at the same time and pluged it in again you get the popup found new device ppc. Then reran the rom update.
NO, just take the SD Card out of the slot and proceed with the update. You must be using a 4GB SD Card, aren't you?
rom upgrade ,universal dead
i keep getting the following message, even if i take the 4gb sd card out of device:

Hello everyone..
I had a ipaq 1915 that was on spanish, so i needed to change the language to english.
As I have heard, this could be done only by rom reflashing into the pda.
Very well so far.... As I have searched on the net, I have found two ipaq 1915 working images, one on www.handheld.org at ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/feeds/wince/h1910/wince_1915_eng.zip
and the other one at a bulgarian site, at the url http://pocketz.dl1.vipserver.ru/2006/08/roms/ipaq_1915.rar
I had managed to enter bootloader mode (but don't know how to exit it ( )
I have unpacked the zips and written both images in the SD card using raw mode, with several tools like winhex, dd, XDArit etc..
this occurs without problems so far..
I insert the 512 MB SD card in the pda, stopped wcescomm.exe (activesync), run mtty, show port.
I press enter, I get USB> as i should
commands work generally, so first I try sd2r , downloading from the sd card to the rom...
The bootloader download takes place without problem, but then the pda prompts: OS' downloading, first progress bar at full, second one stuck at 0...
So it never moves, the mtty gets a | and that's it, it's stuck there for hours...
I have tried r2sd, that works without problem, it says complete, hard reset it, but when I try to sd2r, it's the same problem as above..
HELP PLEASE ! I'm stuck in this crappy bootloader... Could my image downloads from those url-s have gotten corrupted? Can you send some md5 hash for the files?
Does someone else have a valid rom image?
Thank you in advance.....
Doesen't anybody know a solution? could the bootloader have taken some errors? I have tried both 1.02 and 1.10 versions...
What cand I do?
What OS version is this image in?
How can I find out? it's WM2002 for ipaq h1915...
It's the one taken from www.handhelds.org... However it stucks simmilary for every image....
I have even tried the image for h1910.... It makes the same problem..
It's the image's fault or the bootloader could have been damaged? What can I do?
HELPPP ON THIS...
Doesen't anyone know?
Should I try JTAG reflashing? I found a pdf showing how to make a cable... I could make that, but would it make any sense? can I flash the entire rom through JTAG, including bootloader + OS without annoying stuck?
thank you and I think I will try this because I have no other sollution.....
try this one
http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=213467
if you fill like trying Something else (you know 2002 os ..) but you can also break your ppc is to try update it with the 4150 rom
you can find it on hp site ,can be interesting
(i know your device has only ir)
any way good luck
Can the jtag be used to flash both os and bootloader or just bootloader?
Could it be possible that after reflashing, the ipaq 1915 enters dirrectly windows, or only the bootloader may be reflashed throught jtag?
thank you for any answers.....
I'm having a mare....my Artemis has died after a hard reset - just sits at bootloader. I can't flash any rom at all using RUU. All cooked roms fail after 3% with a "image corrupt" error and all original roms (wm5 and wm6 for o2 orbit) fail after 5% with "Flash Write" error.
I've also tried flashing from SD card....starts...but then fails on the validating certificate with an "SD FAT error" or sorts.
I know it's probably salvagable as I can get into bootloader....any ideas? People on forums are telling me to unlock using USPL...but because i cant get into the os to get activesync....it won't work.
a simular thing happens to me my one sits in a rgb screen and says ipl 3.04.0001 and spl 3.04.0000. none of the roms i used work ive just decided to leave it. if your ipl and spl is lower than mine i guess you will be more likley to get working again as people with the same ipl and spl as me cant get their one working
Try to go to bootloader and try to use it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
If it work try to flash with any custums roms.
If you don't have this , you only can flash with officials roms. That's why you can't flash with custums roms

Thanks for this however I;ve been directed to that thread before and each time it's pointless. There is no point me attempting to USPL my device when I can't get an activesync connection due to the fact it has no OS bootable.
As for the official Roms...I've tried the ones that have been touted as official for the Orbit but with no effect.
My IPL SPL is currently 1.25.0001/1.25.0.000 but when i attempt to flash with official rom (!) it moves to the same as spikez - ipl 3.04.0001 and spl 3.04.0000
Anyone with any further help - ordered a new Touch HD but I need to get this one up and running
Thanks
have you tried sd card flash
make sure you put the orignal rom on the root of a none sdhc card (1gb or smaller) and is renamed to "Arteimg.nbh"
official wm5 rom
official wm6 rom
Simply put the phone in bootloader with your 'boot' card inserted and follow the instructions.
Spikez.....I've tried that before. It reads from the SD card....goes through the motions, and then provides an error after about 5-10mins saying "SD FAT update failed"
Any ideas...please reply if only to say "no chance mate"
Thanks for any help you can give me.
i still guess yours is more likely to be fixed than mine as mine just goes straight to the rgb screen can you take a picture of what appears on your screen.
Try use an none offical rom and does your artemis ask you to "update sd image press this key to start download"
unfortunately i've left my digi cam at work I can explain rather well though, bear with me:
I reset the device with SD card in and I get a white screen saying "Checking SD Card" - there is then an arrow asking me to hit volume key to flash...I do that.
I get 5 mins of "Reading from SD" at the bottom of the white screen. Following that I get a "verifying certificate" message and then about 10seconds later a "SD FAT update failed!!!" message...it then just sits there until I press a key on the device and then it falls back to bootloader (multi coloured screen)
this MUST be fixable by somebody who isn't a noob like me - any ideas?
either try add these files into root of sd card
Enterbootloader.exe
rapitool.exe
RomUpdateUtility.exe
RUUGetInfo.exe
RUUREsource.dll
RUU_USPL_Signed.nbh, and
"Arteimg.nbh"
or try once in bootloader plug in usb and try using a ruu
files didn't work...just went straight through to bootloader as opposed to reading SD card. As for launching the RUU through windows...didn't work either. Bombed out after 5% with a "FLASH WRITE " error

as your ipl and spl is so high i guess you may have a Brick i cant seem to get my one working either as i earlier stated it is very common that people with this ipl and spl cant seem to get theirs back working.

True but as can be seen from that post...mine shifts from 1.25 to 3.04 depending on the flash attempt?
my best suggestion to you is stick with it. Try read through this sign up and post here andrew, bill, [email protected] and noney82 very helpful read through see if that post is any use.
Hi All,
I did some search, but it seems there's no Error 270 topic for a Touch Diamond. And surprisingly that's the problem I have. Here's the deal.
For a whole duration of the day I've been trying to upgrade to 2.03 ROM, which would my first ROM upgrade. I tried the ROM from the phone's importer site, the HTC site, xda site, all lof them with the same result. After the RRU reaches 100% the mobile goes to Tricolor with "Upgrade ROM code error" message and the RRU shows says Error 270.
I searched the forum and saw that some of the people suggested to burn different HardSPL versions, so I tried burning the 2.03 with various HardSPL versions, 1.24, 1.30, 1.93 are the few I remember, there were more, both signed and unsigned, the last is SPL-1.93.OliNex unsigned -> all of them installed nicely, with a clean reset after them but the following upgrade to 2.03 failed every time the same way, Error 270, as usual.
I use an original USB cable and an XP OS that, at the moment of RUUing, runs nothing but the RUU.
By the way, I also tried doing the upgrade from the internal storage. I renamed the ~100MB file to the name specified in the Noob Guide (DIAMIMG.NBH) and put it at the root of the storage device, but the bootloader gray screen says no image found (or something similar and goes directly to trying to find a USB host).
OK an Update (for whoever gets this problem after me).
I'm not sure why the installation from PC failed time after time - this is something for smarter people to find out.
I solved it by eventually managing to copy one of the numerous RUU_signed.nbh I tried, to the Internal storage, renaming it to the DIAMIMG.NBH and running the bootloader procedure.
Why didn't this work for a 6-10 times I did this before, I donno, the important thing that now it did, and I'm going to enjoy my diamond starting this moment.

Hello,
I'll be happy to help to the extent I can.
But can you please specify where you stand right now?
I mean, what steps did you take already and where did you stop?
For example,
Do you have Hard SPL installed already?
What's the ROM you currently have?
Can your phone boot up correctly? Can it sync with your PC?
Is your phone locked?
Let me know some details.
