i've made it. i've download those files: N560.WM6.0.038g.7z and N560.WM6.0.038g.SDHC.SQL.128ram.pp0.rar. Now, my question is: what chance i have to brick the device? i never upgrade a pda like this (only qtek s200, htc p3300, and cruise). does i have to make a cid unlock or hard spl? or how do i have to proceed? thx all for your help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oNNoZeLe:
first of all.. don't do the 128ram if you don't have upgraded your device with the 128ram chip...

secondly..

you can see how many times i have flashed mine..

i once got a bluescreen during flash.. :eek: .. but the pda recovered because it uses a 2 stage flash method..

stage 1: transfer flash to device

stage 2: flash rom with transferred image..

stage 2 is the most important one, my guess, because if you remove you batt. during this you can brick it.

I always shut down any apps running. I don't use a USB hub, i unplug any usb drives or memory sticks..

i even unplug the network..

just to make sure..

Get all the tools from the newplow site and you should have your pda flashed within 15 minutes..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ady_uaic:
to that tools you reffer to PocketLOOXFlashTool.zip and FSC_ROM_Backup.zip?

and if you allready had done the upgrade so many times, can you provide here a short installation instruction that is working good, and the chance to brick it is to be less than 10% (that because you've tried, and you know where can be problems, and how can be solved). thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hendrixus:
Instructions on Newplow's website, READ! Easy. Just use the "PocketLOOXFlashTool.zip" as mentioned in the above answer and before flashing backup your old ROM with FSC_BACKUP.

I did it myself a few times without bricking my FSC N560

btw the 128xxx files are for N560's with 128MB of user RAM. Not for 64MB devices. and you won't get 128MB if you have 64MB!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ady_uaic:

N560 ROMS onto N520?

Can that N560 ROMS of Newplow be used on a N520?

Is there any ROM of WM6, with integrated SDHC and Wifi Working in order to make IGO8 to work properly?

I am currently with N520 WM6 with the SDHC installed and IGO8 can't start.

Is there any other solution?

Thanks

I suppose you delete file bl_xxx_G4.nbf or bl_xxx_G3.nbf. new pda`s come with g4 flash, it will be killed with g3 update

Thats what hapened to me. When I try to mtty the .nbf file - it gives only 1 line on the pda screen and at the end of the loading gives error message that it can't write to flash. Probably I killed the bootloader. Where can I find the file to recover its bootloader from SD card? My service center asked Fujitsu for help but they refused, so I have nothing left to do but pray...

TomTom 7 on WM6 / WM6.1 ?

Hi,

I would like to upgrade my N560 from TomTom 6 to TomTom 7 as TomTom 6 only supports maps from 2006 or older.

Are there any experiences with the WM6 / WM6.1 roms from newplowe and versions of TomTom 7 which work or don't work ?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hendrixus:
Forget About 6.1 it has some bugs.TT6 working on WM6.0

Remember this thread is about rom upgrading. Not about TT.

But do some reading in the threads. It is vital to make it work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
I have successfully used TT7 on WM6.0 38g release from Newplow. I found some errors in the maximum road speeds built in to the UK maps and decided to revert to TT6. TT7 has for the first time coverage of the Isle of Man roads, so I may revert if I go there!

An update on WM6.1... Hendrixus may not be aware that Newplow has a completely new release of N560 WM6.1 which, alledgedly, does not have the bugs he mentions. I tried the earlier buggy version of Newplow's WM6.1 and because of the email bug (could not read or create emails in the Messaging app!) I reverted to his WM6.0, which is excellent. However, the new version of WM6.1 (build 62.2g) which he has been working on for months has some extra built in software and has solved the email and other less significant bugs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hendrixus:
No, how could I?

I don't understand why you have to open up a new thread, here I am watching this thread for updates!

question about update procedure

Hello, I'm trying to update my FSC 560n to newplowe N560.WM61.062.2g.SDHC.SQL but i think the format of this file (extension and name) is not viewed corectly by PocketLOOXN560FlashTool. What should i do? I must mention that i've upgraded my device several months ago from the original WM5 to pups 004 rom without any problems and the file format was OS_213U.nb. thanx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
I am not sure what file name you are having trouble with? The file name for all versions is the same, OS_213U.nbf. It is just the contents that differ. The file you mention has the extension missing in your posting. It is .7z which is a compressed file that Winrar will unpack and give you the OS_213U.nbf file.

Hope this helps? Or have you sorted it out already?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fallout2:
yeah that did it. I've never worked before with that type of archive, that was the problem, they should have mentioned this small detail on neweplow website, but anyway thanx a lot, it works just fine till now on my N560!

Hello,

How can I updrade my ROM to Loox n520, if the device does't start in Windows, it stays blocked at start up with an white screen.

I've tried to hard reset the device, but with no change.

Please can someone can give me an answer? Can I do a ROM updgrade, or my PDA its lost?

Thank you!

PS: Excuse my english
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fingerstoo:
Has it ever worked? If it did, then did it work perfectly and for how long? Have you had it from new or is it secondhand? Your query does not sound normal to me!

You will not be able to upgrade the ROM as the Loox has to running well enough to connect to ActiveSync, even if it is just a Guest connection........
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tim.CA:

Hi has there been any progress on a WM6 rom for pocket loox?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] owilsky:
I understand that I can backup my current ROM with

pdocread 0 0x2300000 nk.nb0

But as I understand, this nk.nb0 cannot be flashed back because the header is missing, right?

So I know how the header must be:

But where do I get these information:

- What version number do I need? (like 1.22.0001)

- How do I get the checksum? Is this the checksum before modifieing the header?

- What's "unencrypted space size" and how do I get that info?

- "starting address of the flashing" is ALWAYS 80400000?

Thanks for any info.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] owilsky:
One more question:

I have a German Loox n560. As I understand I can flash the inofficial upgrade if I change "ENG" toi "GER" with a hex editor. But then I will have an English language ROM on my Loox? Or are these international ROMs?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] orbb39:
After you flash it it will be english

After you flash the new rom changing the ENG to GER, the new software will be in english. Also the keyboard will be english.

I did it for me from spanish (ESN) and right now is in english..but certainly works better than the previous..It looks more responsive to me :)

Good luck
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gforums:
Hello!

I have the same questions as owislky..:

- how to get the checksum of the rom, the space size information and the starting adress?

I have made a dump of my german rom before putting the eng. unofficial upgrade on my loox. but without a working header I can't reflash it back...

thanks anyone who know more!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gforums:
Hello!

- I got the right checksum calculated now and everything seemed to be fine but my loox is dead now. I don't know why.

I have dumped my german original rom and added te correct header.

The flash tool copied the image file witout warning and the rom was extracted on the loox.

The loox bootloader shows 2 progress bars.

the first one was fully loaded (blue),the second was about 1/10 blue, when it jumped to full blue with one step.

After that, the loox display had turned off, the flash software's progress bar still moved a bit, when an error message appeared: connection to loox lost...

that's it.

anyone know why this could occur??

Thanks for any info
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] master2048:
First of all I don't think "pdocread 0 0x2300000 nk.nb0" will give you a right backup on French rom. That's for backup original Eng rom.

Please try:

1, use "pdocread -t" to find out your rom size. After command executed, a message will indicate "real nr of sectors"

2, using that number(should be the biggest one) to replace # in "pdocread 0 0x###### nk.nb0"

Then upload the file again for someone to verify.

Good luck
