The Other files are already available from XDATools-Jeff,

http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDAtools-Jeff.exe

now the missing file would be adaptROM.exe which is available already on the forum

http://xda-developers.com/adaptROM

and the start.bat. You can create start.bat by using an editor and put this value;

@adaptrom

@"Program A"

then save it in the c:\program files\xdatools\binaries

Help me... Help me... Helpme !!!

Hi all!

I stuck in WM2003PE v. 4.00.10. Since I have been updated to it, my XDA cannot use phone function. Cannot receive calls and while I make a call... appear a popup menu from signal: "The operation failed". I so sad, I don't know what to do now. Anyone help me ???

My XDA is:

Wallaby Bootloader: 5.17

ROM version: 4.00.10 (I feel a vindictive hatred for it)

Radio Stack: 4.21

I'm from ASIA

As you known I can not downgrade from this ROM version by exe file.

I can not downgrade from this ROM version by SD card because my Bootloader is 5.17

XDAtools is a new tool. Can I use it to downgrade my XDA? Tell me method by detail, please (sorry, I don't want to sad again).

Thank for all

Hi folks,

I do not know how to use the XDA tool and wonder if someone could give me some instructions. I have downloaded both the xda developer exe and Jeff's exe and when I clicked on them, the directory of XDAtools was created under my programme files and I found the xdatool exe file under the binaries subdirectory which I clicked on. It gives me an interactive screen but doesn't seem to be able to read from my sd card reader as it does not give the option of the sd card reader on the screen. Also even with the sd card in the xda, it doesn't seem to read it as well. I have used the bootloader to flash my old rom (3.16) into the sd card and would like to copy the rom to my hard disk so that I could use the sd card again without losing it. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I have used the XDArit program but still could not read the sd card with my old rom in it. It always prompt me to format the sd card which has the rom inside.

Thanks for the patience reading thru this thread. Hope someone could point me in the right direction.

Cheers

the /bineary folder is read-only problem

Is the only reason that one can't overwrite the TM4.00.10 with later Roms because the /binary folder, its files & subfolders are designated as read-only?

If this is the only problem preventing the writing of the new ROM to the xda using XDA tools -- insn't there some way to change the designation on these files & folders to 'normal'.

I've tried the obvious ways, but surely one of you sharpies out there with more experience than I can figure out a way around this.

Having problems getting to Jeff's site for the missing files

I am a newbie at hacking the XDA, but years with unix, etc. I am planning to upgrade to the XDA SE rom so as to unlock my SX56 (currently on ATT, thinking of switching to TM), then upgrading to a ppc2003 rom I cooked using the kitchen on www.yorch.net. I also have downloaded the att current image (A.20.17 ENG) from www.yorch.net. I have done a SDbackup and copied the image of my current rom to my harddrive using the XDA Image tool (XDAtools). Before I begin the upgrades, I want to make sure that I can fall back to any previous rom. From what I can determine, I will have to have the missing files to make the XDAtools capable of writing an image BACK to the XDA and I have NOT been able to connect to Jeff's website (http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDAtools-Jeff.exe). :?:

Anywhere else that these files might be located?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
When you say you have done sd backup, do you mean a data backup, or have you gone to bootloader mode and backed up your existing rom to sd, I suggest you do this if you havent already, you will need a 64 meg sd card and you must not write files to it after the rom backup.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] dtidmore:
Did both a bootloader backup and an image backup

Using the Wallaby 5.15 bootloader on my SX56, I made a copy of the OS to a SD card. I also made a copy to my PC harddrive using the XDAtool prog. Since posting my question, I have successfully upgraded to XDA SE (just used the exe) and unlocked my SIM, then upgraded to MW03 by cooking a new rom using www.yorch.net's kitchen, downloading it and then using the XDAtool, moved it to another SD card, followed by successfully flashing the rom from the SD card using the bootloader. I have also returned back to my original OS just as a sanity check. All seems well, but I would still like to be able to flash the rom directly from the XDAtool so I need those MISSING files. Any clues as to where they could be downloaded will be appreciated.

Valheru, then you'll be very proud of me! :D

not only i keep a rom on sd, but i also have an sd with all the .CABs and CabInstl on it! for quick reinstall. i find it alotttt faster than restoring from sd, i dont know why its much slower.

and... restore from pc? forget about it! i'd have to leave it overnight!!

the .CABs on sd work well for me. i dont know why my xda sometimes freeze, and even softrests freeze... then hard resets by itself.

so sd comes in handy.

Now if this was a pay to view forum, you might have reason to ask the question, however it isnt a pay to view and the developers have answered an enormous number of questions. Try doing a little research if you have a problem, that way you might come across something that you can share. As for the XDA2, well I am absolutely positive that when information is available, this will be the place that you will see it first. Chill out, enjoy your technology, research takes time.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] akira:
well i have dont some things,

they talked about using a serial cable to connect the xda2, and withthat using some terminal program to communicate.

i found out that u must disable infra red beam again to get a good serial communication connection.

tried some terminal programmes. no dice :(

they have found a command "d2s" that command is to write the rom to SD card. maybe it stands for DUmp/download to SD card :)

would be strange..

so maybe write to rom is w2f :)

i dont know..

need to get that serial connection going...

problem is, when u enter the bootloader they way they tell you "power+4waypad+put the pen in the holl. you always reset the phone totally :(

so thats not that good :)

Confused about the following statement

---- No you can not upgrade from 4.00.10 TMobile to another OS because TM-4.00.10 has a protection that even adaptrom can not break, but if your on another OS like 4.00.05 or 3.17.00 you can use XDATools because it will use Program A to upgrade it. ---

I updated my T-Mobile PPC to 4.00.10 with RS 6.24 and it is very unstable with lockups throughout the day and it keeps erasing my SD card. I would like to go back to 3.14 version of the ROM. I understand that the radio stack can not be down graded and that is OK.

If I can not go back as stated above, will I be able to go to say 4.20.00 or what ever the official version will be once T-Mobile ships it? Or am I stuck with 4.00.10 forever?

Thanks in advance for the help!

:!: You all need to read some more posts. Why any of you use an exe to upgrade and then cry about it is ridiculous. If you want to play around, invest $10 for a card reader and $20 for a 64mb sd card and you WILL be able to install ANY rom you want WHENEVER you want. And why VERY few of you make backups of your existing rom prior to upgrading is beyond even my simple understanding. :!:

So, you can up/downgrade from ANY rom if you have the inexpensive tools needed. :idea:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] MrDollyMaker:
I'm very much in agrement with you Valheru. I have several backups of each rom and file settings of those roms in case I've wanted to go back to any of them. The .exe upgrades from what I have seen almost always end in problems as well as the 1% screen of death. At least now there is a sound way to survive that and repair the damage.

That said, Scrappy, you need to read the past posts in several of the forums and you will find a step by step way to Upgrade as well as Downgrade using your card reader, SD card, and the programs and where to get them to fix problems and transfer the roms to and from the sd card. Most of the needed programs are built in to your unit's BootROM. As long as walaby still loads, you can go up or go down in your rom versions.

Most of us simply do not have the time to purse back through the previous posts and forums to find the answer to your problems. It is in the forums, just read and do some digging.

MrDollyMaker
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] valheru:
You may not be CRYING however you are definitely not READING much of anything for directions of how to do just what you want has been a STICKY since b4 I joined the forum!

That said follow these simplistic directions if you still don't want to read any posts:

cook your rom in .nb1 format

download and use ostoolset to write the .nb1 to your sd card (i'm assuming you made a backup of the sd card b4 hand)

put the sd card in your device

press and hold the power key while hitting reset

at the menu that pops up select to upgrade OS from SD card (take note of wallaby version)

WAIT for it to complete (may be up to 10 min)

remove the sd card and reset device

Thanks for your assistance on this. I can appreciate your frustration as I deal with this situation on a daily basis. It is natural to take the easiest path in life. That being ask the question instead of digging for the answer.

With that said, it would probably help if the website had these directions on the website and not in the forum. Since anyone can respond in a forum it's often dangerous to rely on the validity of a response. If there was an official area that contain these instructions in a more simplistic manner then I think the number of questions would go down quite a bit.

I guess the flip side is that if we don't know what we are doing, we probably shouldn't do it. :wink:

I have learned and shared so much with a few individuals on this board!

IMHO XDA-Developers encompasses the utopic ideal of true collaboration and sharing of experiences good and bad! It defines one equal temper of heroic hearts, who made their ROM and installed it and yet strong in will to test, to try to share their knowledge and not to yeld to the service providers. ( Lord T. turning on his grave after this one! :wink: )

I suspect the reason why there is no " official" rom information outside the forums is the majority of people should not be changing their ROMS and since playing with ROMs voids the providers warranty. No one wants to have that responsibility other than in the open shared forum.

There are some individuals who spend a long time updating the site and sharing their experiences. My best recomendation is to use the " Search" feature before asking for help. In about 99% of the problems we encounter we will have a solution posted in the board. If you are deeply stuck on something you can send private posts and you will usually get an answer pretty fast!

Anyway, XDA tools is working in regards to being able to download my present ROM from the device to the hard drive.

Now when I use it try and put a new ROM on the device I am getting an error.

This error shows up in the CMD.exe box that pops up when trying to do this:

"ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the rem

Please make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected.

Like i said the device is working and connected. Works through Active Sync just fine, and even XDA Tools works when going from device to computer but just not from computer to device.

the only way is(at least for what i did last time with the same problem)was to use the SD Card method(see ur bootloader, if u have 5.17 then u must use the special way, but if its 5.15 then theres an option - try reading through other posts fro details)
