I just bought my Ipaq 3 days ago and already have an issue. Long story short I seem to have corrupted WM6 and am sending it to be re-flashed. (Hangs on the start-up screen) Is there any way to create a back-up of the new ROM and re-install it if I do the same thing again? If anyone could point me to the correct tools it would be much appreciated. THANK YOU.

i have tried and tried to figure out the problem with my wallaby. I have spent days searching through this website looking for answers and to no avail...
here is the problem:
the unit was dropped and won't get past the tmobile screen
here is what is on the screen...
g324e4
r6.25.02
4.01.16
I have gone through the tests and everything passes...it just won't go past that screen
I can't activesync, but I do have an SD card
I do not know how to use the SD card to get a new ROM or anything on the phone...furthermore I don't know how to get my windows mobile back on it...
any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!! I know I am new...and I did make more than a serious effort at trying to figure it out on the forums...but I have been unsuccessful...
thanks...

You have to use the SD Flashing method in order to import the new rom, there's several posts How-to concerning this matter otherwise if you want you can cook a rom from this website, it contains some helpful links

Hi guys. I know I know, wrong place, but maybe some one here could help too! Just maybe.. You guys are very smart peps here. You've helped me with many XDA's I own. And I'm just hoping you wouldn't let me down this time too. Any way I’ve killed my eten (typhoon my guide m500 German) and hoping some one could help me to bring it back to life. Please understand that I have exhausted all my resources in order to find the solution my self but came up empty handed. I have read every single post in this forum as well as few others in order to find the solution. And now I am hoping that some one could help. I may have overlooked some little but important piece of info. Please except my apologies if this request may be annoying.
This is what happened and what I’ve done about it.
I’ve got Typhoon MyGuide m500 (E-Ten m500) Original rom was German.
The reason I say “was” is since I had german OS that I can’t read it I wanted to flash the device with WWE Rom. But the device would not accept any other rom and at the time of reflashing through RUU, I get message “the os image is not compatible with your device”. I understand a lot of people have this problem, but still, some succeed. I have tried all the possible roms that are available there. I’m sure you’ve heard that before too Finally I’ve succeeded in flashing CHT WM2003 rom that came with WM 5 Rom update for downgrade purposes. But, I can’t read chinese either so I tried to flash wwe at this time. Hoping that chinese rom would allow upgrades in different language. But the upgrade went bad I’ve ended up with formatted e-ten with no OS installed. It was only showing white screen when turned on or it would boot into boot loader when soft reset and power was pressed.
At that time, since the device would not boot and I couldn’t active sync it, I’ve tried SD flashing with RescueDLX.bin. As well USB download utility. It flashed the device, but I was stuck at the green m500 screen when tried booting. So that didn’t work either. I’ve tried SD flashing with temp.dat saved as .bin from all possible roms, including the first chineese that worked once for me. But again, I got “the os image is not compatible with your device”
Well, here is where I’ve screwed up big time. Since the rescueDLX.bin was actually flashing into my device, and I was not getting “the os image is not compatible with your device” message, I’ve opened the rescueDLX.bin with Hex Editor, copied first 400 bytes of the header, then using Hex Editor opened the temp.dat from WWE rom update that I wanted to use and pasted this 400 bytes from rescuedlx.bin over the first 400 bytes of temp.dat file and saved it as a bin. Then copied on SD card, put it in the device, entered into the boot loader and started flashing process. Amazingly, I didn’t get the “the os image is not compatible with your device” message! But worst thing happened The boot loader was going through all the check lists and everything was ok but device froze at the last one, “looking for FPTP” or something like that.. Apperantly I copied to much stuff or it just plain incompatible. Well, now my device would not even load into the boot loader! I think I’ve erased it too So no more updating for me, that is for a sure not through RUU, not through USB Update Utility that I found on etens forum, and not even through SD with devices internal boot loader. There isn’t one anymore
So here we go, I’ve got really nice looking paper weight Oh, and I can use it as a flash light too When turned on, the screen lights up with bright white light
So any way, can any body help?! Is there any way to revive this thing? Or the road is straight to manufacturer? I don’t think I even have a warranty on this device; it’s in brand new condition, but its second hand. So I have only one hope that some smart gurus of this forum would show mercy and would help! Like I said, I’ve researched all over the internet, all forums, even xda developers and spv developers forums, but this is different device. Deferent rules… But I know it’s doable, I’ve seen posts that others did it! So please, share how you guys did it!
Thank you in advance. And sorry for such a long post!

Read the User Manual, there you can see how to do a HARD RESET to let your TOUCH as new.

Thanks a lot User22, your guidance really worked, it is again virgin now...
but i am not able to understand one thing when all the executables were corrupted then how come it is able restore all the factory default, is it already having copy of initial files somewhere.
No everything is in the ROM, and always will. Your software changes stay in a user writable area, that are erased when doing a hard reset, thus leaving the original stuff in ROM.
I need some help here, I have a Qtek 9100/Wizard which is basically dead, it hangs all the time, the screen freezes and does a weird fadeout with some various colors. This started happening about a month after I unlocked it and tried WM6.1 Slim Edition, I am running some other ROM that my GF installed, same problem. Is the phone totally borked or is it worth to try to fix it?
Anyway, back to my main question I want to transfer my contacts and calender from my Wizard to my Wallaby PocketPC2002 I got from a friend when my Wizard started fubaring. I have it backuped with PIMBackup but PocketPC2002 wont run that darnded program. Whats the best way to do this? IF I get the Wizard to run stable for a few mins, copy/sync the calender/contacts with a computer and then try to sync/copy it back to the Wallaby? Or convert the PIMbackup files to some other format that works with PocketPC2002? I have mailed the author of PIMBackup but he hasnt answered yet.
No help no tips?
Hey Folks...
I was trying to upgrade my Tytan to WM 6.5. I downloaded the nbh file and also the hard-spl-mg tool to upgrade my SPL.
Everything was going fine but then when I executed the spl upgrade tool it made a hard reset of the phone (expected) ...the issue was that I had on my memory card the 6.5 image file and after a button push the phone started to upgrade the OS without upgrading the SPL.....
As you can expect now the WM 6.5 doest finish the start and I am stuck...
Can anybody help me... I can’t find the original ROM (I live in Venezuela)...Is there a way to solve the issue without restoring it?
Thanks in advance
Still kinda new at this, but I locked mine up too.
This thread saved my butt.. see if if will work for you:
