For users with Wallaby Bootloader 5.15 version and below

The foremost and most important thing to do when upgrading or downgrading your Pocket PC’s ROM is by backing it up on an empty SD Card using the bootloader method, this process is achieved by accessing your PPC’s pre-installed Wallaby Bootloader (hold on/off key then press the soft-reset button). When a “GSM OK” message appear, simply click on the contact button, and it will bring you to a menu that looks like this:

Boot -> SD

CE -> SD

Boot+CE -> SD

About

Exit

Select any of the two options (CE -> SD, Boot+CE ->SD) and press the action button (rocker key under you unit’s display screen) to start backing up your ROM or your unit’s ROM together with the Bootloader to your SD card. When your systems is done backing up, exit and remove the SD card from your Pocket PC and insert it to your SD reader/writer in order to transfer the currently backed-up ROM and Bootloader file to your Personal Computer using the XDArit program.

• Open the XDArit program and choose Read from SD card, mark both

check boxes for Bootloader and Windows CE

• Create a file name for your bootloader (e.g. c:\test.nb0) and ROM (e.g.

Windows CE c:\test.nb1)

• When you are done backing up, go to

http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/ and cook a desired ROM

under zipped NK.nb1 format.

• Once you’ve finished downloading the NK.nb1, immediately copy the

downloaded ROM to an empty SD card through your SD card

reader/writer using the XDArit program .

Here are the steps on how to write the ROM to your SD Card using XDArit:

• Open XDArit and click write to SD card

• Select header 1K and check Windows CE

• Under Windows CE, browse for the NK.nb1 file that you downloaded and

select it (Please make sure that the only checked option is Window CE)

• Click OK!, and it will start writing the NK.nb1 to your SD card

(approximately 5mins)

• Remove the SD card and plug it in to your Pocket PC

(If a message “format your SD card” appears on your Pocket PC screen

just select no)

• Again, boot your Pocket PC to Wallaby Bootloader; it will automatically detect the ROM on your SD CARD.

• Just carefully follow the instructions that appears on your screen and

everything will be just fine.

For users with Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 version

Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 is such a pain in the ass! But, like any problem there is always a way around it. Wallaby Bootloader 5.17 as many of us know is incorporated with a key checker, thus it will automatically check and verify your SD Card for any special written key before getting full access on your PPC’s ROM and Bootloader. In order to bypass the key checker, simply download the Wallaby patch and write it to an empty SD card using the XDArit program (remember to choose option 1k under header). Insert the SD card to your Pocket PC and go to you PPC’s bootloader (press and hold power Button, then press Soft Reset) and wait for a diagnostics message to appear. Upon seeing the Diagnostics message, immediately press action key (core of the rocker keys under the PPC’s display screen) and it will bring you to a new window that looks like this:

Boot -> SD

CE -> SD

Boot+CE -> SD

Restore SD

About

Exit

If you don't have an extra SD card, then just simply remove the SD card on your XDA without exiting from the window. Insert the SD Card again to your SD Reader and format it. Then write the file NK.Nb1 to your SD card (under header 1K). In any case, that you don't have NK.nb1, you could simply go to http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/ and cook a desired ROM under zipped NK.nb1 format which is about 14-15mb.

Follow these simple steps on how to properly write and install NK.nb1 on the SD card to your Pocket PC

• Open XDArit and click Write to SD card

• Select header 1K and check Windows CE

• Under Windows CE, browse for the NK.nb1 file that you downloaded or

want to install and select it

• Please make sure that the only checked option is Window CE

• Then click ok!, and you will see that it will start writing the NK.nb1 to

your SD card (approximately 5mins)

• After it's done writing, Remove the SD card and plug it to your XDA

• Then select Restore SD and press action or the action or rocker key

• A message will again appear asking whether you want to abort or

continue, just select continue and it will proceed with the installation and

flashing

• It is important that you never interrupt your Pocket PC during the

installation process, wait until it finishes writing the ROM

FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Improper flashing can lead to an unusable Pocket PC

I will not be held liable to any damages on your Pocket PC!!!
