Folks,
I am new to the group.I have XDA which konked off during upgrade to 2003 from 2002 PocketPC version.I am following the below listed AT&T support procedure to recover.
When I try to copy the os image using XDA os image tool, it is coming with an error saying "Target device is too small to hold os image".
But when I see the size of the image in Windows explorer it is listing it as 30.2 MB [31,764,992].But when I see the size of an image of NK.nbf file it is 32,505,888.
Can somebody help me?Thanks in advance.
Cheers
MSAR

ATT procedure to recover XDA
Fix
Pre-requisites:
A blank 32 megabyte SD (secure data) card.
A SD card reader.
Hard reset the SX56 and press the Power button.
A color screen stating "Wallaby Boot" will appear with the version number. A check of the GSM service will be run.
Download the XDA (the other name for our phone) OS Image Tool, at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAtools.
Plug in the SD Card Reader with the SD Card inserted in it to the PC.
Once download, open "XDA Tools XDA OS Image Tool" from the Start Menu.
Do NOT use the fix broken boot loader option from the sub folder.
In the Source pull down (the top section) click the "..." next to the pull down and go to C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility\english\NK.nbf
This is the location of the Windows Mobile 2003 Operating System Image that was installed when it was downloaded and ran the initial upgrade process.
In the "Destination" pull down, select the SD Card Reader.
Click the Copy button.
Once the procedure is complete in Image Tool Program, disconnect the SD Card Reader and remove the SD Card.
The SX56 should still be at the Boot loader page, if not hard reset the SX56 again and press the Power button to bring it back to the boot loader screen.
Hold the Power button and use the stylus to press in the soft reset button (both at the same time).
This will bring up a 'Copy Image from SD to ROM' selection.
Select "To copy from SD to ROM", (this will take a few minutes).
Once the upload completes, soft reset the device.
Verify the version number of the device.
Either from the device menu:
ROM Version A.30.09 ENG
ROM Date 01/01/04
Radio Version A.33.02
Protocol Version 1.3.3
Or from the inital boot up screen:
G1.3.3
A.30.09
RA.33.02
If problems persist, please contact Siemens at 888-777-0211.

The ~8MB difference is the File Allocation Table (FAT) stored on the card. You will need to get a 64MB SD card to store that file on.
it is not the FAT, it is a bug in the memory card driver, that it reports incorrect values for the diskgeometry, as reported by the IOCTL_DISK_GETINFO function.
see this page.
I should maybe use a different function to get the disk size, like GetDiskFreeSpaceEx or IOCTL_DISK_GET_LENGTH_INFO ( I have not tried those to see if they give more accurate values )
I upgraded my T-Mobile with PPC 2002 to the WM 2003 final ROM cooked in Lumpi Stephan's kitchen.
Ever since then, if I try and deploy a Visual Studio.Net application to the device, it more often then not says it can not establish a connection with the device, even though Active Sync is connected and synched up.
This problem is preventing me from trying to put on another ROM via USB craddle using Jeff's OSIMage Tool.
I do understand I can use an SD card to upgrade the ROM, however that doesn't solve the connection problems.
Does anyone have any idea why I'd be getting this error and any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Have you tried flashing with sd card using xdatools and nbf file with sd memory card?
how do I use the SD card?
I just ordered a card to see if I can resolve this issue....
Here is my scenario. I don't have a SD card reader on my computer. But I do have two PPC's - one that is working with Active sync and XDATools recognizes, and one that XDATools isn't seeing though Active Sync IS seeing it.
Can I use XDATools to put the ROM on my desktop to the SD card that is inserted into my working PPC, then put the SD card into my half-assed working PPC and install it somehow (of how to do that I am clueless)?
Suggestions? Answers?
Thank you much
You need to download a rom and choose sd card flashing at the base of screen before flashing, you will then unzip the downloaded file, you will have an nbf file, this file will be used by xdatools to program the sd card in the card reader on your pc, When using xdatools, choose the nbf file as source and choose the sd card in the reader from the drop down menu under destination, once it is programmed you insert the card to the phone, push reset while holding power, push centre of 4 way rocker switch when prompted, once finished push once in hole below headset socket, wait one minute and push once more, your phone should now reboot with the new rom.
Does ANYONE have a rom to upgrade the winmo 6.1 on this phone to 6.5??? PLEASEEEEEE say yes....
I found this somewhere.....don't remember where and it is all I found for sunno u6......but no listed roms to dl anywhere so this info is largely useless then?
In this article we will examine how to install ROM on Sunno U6.
1. Make a backup or copy the important information that is in the smartphone memory. Please note that the information in the phone memory is automatically deleted after installation of a new ROM version.
2. Check the battery status because when starting the ROM installation, the power supply must not be interrupted.
3. Remove the TF Card from your smartphone and format it by using a computer. The TF Card must be formatted with FAT16 file system. For Window XP/Vista do the following: Start/Run/cmd and type FORMAT E*: /FS:FAT16
Attention !!!
Save the data from your TF Card because they will be automatically deleted during formatting. E* is the letter of the decice /the TF Card/ which must be 2GB minimum.
4. Copy the ROM file that you'll install on your TF Card.
5. Turn off your smartphone /Shut Down/
6. Press and hold the VOLUME UP + CAMERA + POWER button simultaneously.
7. The ROM installation takes up to 5 miutes. When this process has finished, restart your smartphone.
I have a TyTN II that I flashed WinMo 6.5 onto a while back. Now I would like to put Android on it but am having some trouble.
The bootloader screen reads:
TITA100
SPL-2.47No2Chem Titan SPL EVT
CPLD-9
I can't figure out why it won't let me flash a different NBH via SD or via PC.
Do I need to put HardSPL on it instead? (I've tried -- to no avail).
I've read a lot of threads and tried countless different things but nothing works. When I try from SD it says "no image file". When I try from PC it says "The update utility cannot connect to your PDA phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone."
Please help. Thanks.
By the looks of it you already have HardSPL installed.
What I'd do as a last resort (and what I had to do on my WinMo 6.5 Kaiser, in fact!) is put it into 3-color/bootloader mode:
* Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus
and then flash whatever ROM you like onto it via USB. Note that you MUST REMOVE YOUR SD CARD to enter the bootloader.
Alternatively flash a newish stock rom, ( Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.exe recommended, search for this exact filename, it's the last full 6.1 update for kaiser, and has 1.70.xx.xx radio), this will pretty much clean out anything a custom rom has tucked away in little dusty WM corners, I actually prefer to flash from SD, it's faster, and to a large extent safer, no chance of an accidental usb disconnect, of course you must do a little more preperation, but provided you have HardSPL, an sd reader and microSD adaptor then it's real easy.
Grab a handy MicroSD, format it FAT32, (remember to check it's FAT32, not FAT), then get the ruu_signed.nbh from the stock rom, copy to SD, rename to KAISIMG.nbh, then safely remove the SD, (don't just pull it out, that can leave unwritten data in buffers, and corrupt the files you copied).
Then pull the battery out of the kaiser, insert the SD card, replace battery and hold down camera button while you press Power key, this should boot to Bootloader ( tricolour screen) and start up the SD upgrade process, this checks the file, then asks you to press the power button to flash it, it will install, and once 'upgrade complete' shows, pull the battery again, then reinsert and restart.
Once you have a stock rom, go here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680518 and carefully read through the process before continuing from step #4, since you already have HardSPL.
Any problems, just post and someone will probably have the answer

I explicitly followed these instructions and it still says "No image file" when in bootloader mode with the SD card in and the image file I extracted from Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.exe renamed to KAISIMG.nbh. It only flashes the message for a split second and then goes back to the bootloader screen.
Is there any way to tell for sure if I have Hard SPL or not?
Is there anything else I can try?
It no longer boots past the second boot screen. Did I brick it?
I ran the following commands via MTTY version 1.42:
set 14 0
task 28 55aa
When it tries to format the device it returns "badblock 1024"
When I run 0 to reboot the device it does not respond.
Not sure what to try next on this. I was able to get the "boot" command to work using MTTY but it would still not boot to WinMo or boot an image file in bootloader mode.
If anyone else has had the bad blocks problem, please let me know how you fixed it.

Have you tried another SD card, maybe the card is bad, also have you checked that is is formatted as fat32? I would try reformatting the card (full not quick) and putting the file back on the card.
Is as simple as following these steps, correct? I just want to make sure i'm not missing anything.
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
Just flash any WinMo ROM as you would flash any WinMo ROM. You can feel free to flash WinMo via USB or SD, either method works.
You only are forced to flash via SD when going to LK/Android. For whatever reason, we never could figure out how to get it to work via USB.
Yes. If you follow those instructions you will get whatever rom is on your SD card loaded to the phone.
