Flash ROM problems - it refuses to flash

Ok, I am having a difficulty in flashing ROM using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and/or BaUpgradeUt.exe
Using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
I have the system rom (Aku's version) and a radio rom (1.5). Next, I run MaUpgrade tool; it detects the device flash as follows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Okay, you might have questioned why is the device v5; that's because it worked before with baupgradeut tool, but right now, it doesn't work anymore and I wasn't sure how I managed to get it to work in the first place. The main reason I wanted to upgrade again was the radio rom (the connection is really bad) and the transcriber failed to function properly as an extended rom but that was like months after I did this. I often had to reset the device to fix those issues.)
Then after pressing Next, ActiveSync (I tried final version 4.5 as well as an older version 4.2 - both failed) would then get disconnected and ma utility will give me a Connection problem error as follows. I have to reset the PDA device to get activesync reconnected.
Using BaUpgradeUt.exe
Now this is the annoying part. I loaded the GetDeviceData.exe on the PDA and obtained the following:
Code:
P H 2 0 B 1 W W E AT%CID? 5 . 0 4 . 1 0 . 1.02.10 % 4
Removing all of the spaces, I get something like this:
Code:
PH20B1 WWE AT%CID? 5.04.10. 1.02.10 % 4
I wasn't able to find the device operator. So I just edited EditFix.bat like this (and of course, I run this batch - both files are modified (nk and radio_ ones)):
Code:
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B1 -sl WWE -so "" ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B1 -sl WWE -so "" nk.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B1 -sl WWE -so "" radio_.nba
where I also tried to replace "" with T-MOB101, XGULB001, and XGULA001. (since the device is a Siemens SX66 purchased on ebay) All failed and returned a model error.
Is there anything I should do?

Your operator code seems to be deleted (should be sth like T-MOB101 - read here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=GetDeviceData ). Now you can only use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe untill you repair it (anyway operator code is not needed after all) by installing ROM with correct Operator code for your device (if you know/remeber it) set by operator or you using xda3nbftool.
Apart from this, you seem not to follow the procedure: you should put BA in Bootloader mode, not leave ActiveSync mode when you initiate upgrade.
Please post your results here, when you finish.

Hello,
I've the same 101 error...
I don't really understand how to find a solution to upgrade without that problem...could you help me ?

Once I had a problem like this one and I figured out that I could not flash my device + radio at the same time.
Try removing the radio.nbf from the folder where MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and then try to flash your device.
If it works, then remove the nk.nbf from the folder, put back the radio.nbf and try to flash it.

Tks.
I've put a topic for that.
It seems to be a Vista OS problem...

I confirm everything. Same problem for me with Vista. Upgrade is possible only under Xp. Maupgrade is not compatible with Vista. Someone should make a Vista version of it.

Nope not only vista. my xp home is having excatly the same problem. Completely stuck now and getting PreSetUSB along with other error msgs now on the device.

hi all of you
how can I fix sam problem

I'm having the exact same problem as you guys. anyone managed to find a work around to it ?

try this workaround...
1. avoid Vista... use XP
2. flash in BOOTLOADER mode. (press and hold Record+Powerbutton then softreset) then just ignore if the Device info FROM is missing... just click upgrade.

Hi Silver Samurai,
I am flashing in Winxp using bootloader mode and Maupgrade. Doesn't seem to work. I have followed everything in the wiki step by step. Such as disabling activesync.
Really don't know where i have gone wrong.

what error numbers are you getting?
when does it fail?

Well i make a hard reset (No for the first option and yes to the 2nd and 3rd options.) After that leaving it in bootloader mode - showing serial and bootloader version number v2.08.
I make sure that activesync (usb connection is disabled). Close wcecomm.exe and other files related to activesync in taskmanager. Connected the usb cable and it changes from serial to usb. Invoked the Maupgrade noid.exe. It hangs there indefinately for more than 30 mins showing the screen that it is checking the xda. If i pull the cable out, it immediately shows device error.
I know that there is nothing wrong with the cradle as i can connect to activesync in normal mode and install programs / files.
I can still boot up after that with wm2005 helmi. Cannot seem to erase the rom. Funny thing is that with wm2005 my sd card cannot be detected. Previously with wm2003 it can be detected. However when the screen is off, and when i insert the sdcard, it does turn on. Likewise when i remove the card and the screen is off, it would also come on. But that is a total different aspect altogether. Anyway i figured that if i can reflash to the official wm2003 rom, it would solve that problem.
Sorry for the wall of text, but i just wanted to fully describe the problem i am facing. Could it be that the DiskOnChip is already corrupted ? Don't think that it's the Intel SRAM/Nand Flash chip as it's only 128Mbits. which only stores the bootloader.

is there an SD Card inserted when you are trying these procedures?
can you try both with or without it?
try without an SD first
please post your result.

Yes i have tried both with sd card and no sd card. If the SD card is inserted, in bootloader mode, the serial won't change to usb until i eject the sdcard. The screen would just get stuck showing the msg, checking the xda.

Upgrading Treo 750 to WM 6.1

I am having problems upgrading my Treo 750 from Windows Mobile 6.0 to 6.1 standard. I have run the Cheetah unlocker program. I formatted the card and put the radio program on it. Inserted and ran bootloader mode. The screen turns red, green, white and stays that way permanently. I eventually have to pull the card and reset the device. It comes up and works as usual with wm 6.0.
Is my phone not unlocked?
Is the radio program no good?
Any ideas?

Hard to say, but I suspect you either haven't successfully run the unlocker program, or have not formatted the SD card correctly.
BTW - Upgrading a radio would not get you from 6.0 to 6.1 it would only upgrade the radio, so make sure you have downloaded the proper file.

Understood. I have tried both the radio and the cheeimg.nbh file. Both have the same problem. How long should the upgrade take once the bootloader reads the card (so I know how long to wait until I try something else)?

I figured it out....here is the answer from this website. Thanks

With this method I have successfully unbranded, unlocked, and updated 2 Treo 750s that were originally AT&T/Cingular branded.
I spent hours running through multiple threads reading and searching to finally find a solution that worked flawlessly. These steps have been compiled from multiple threads:

(I couldn't find the original posts for Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar so I uploaded to my own site for now)
1. Download, extract, and run MAGIC_UNLOCKER on your phone.
2. Select both options in MAGIC_UNLOCKER and click unlock. This will unlock your phone.
3. Format your SD card to FAT32.
4. Extract Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar and copy/paste CHEEIMG.nbh to the formatted SD card.
5. Transfer 1_CHEE_MountExtROM.cab and 2_Chee_Extrom_rename.cab to your Treo 750.
5. Run/Install 1_CHEE_MountExtROM.cab and then soft reset the phone.
7. Run/Install 2_Chee_Extrom_rename.cab and then soft reset the phone.
8. Click and run Start>Programs>Chee_Extrom_Unlocker. Run it about 3 or 4 time and you should some type of error messages. Just OK or X them and soft reset the phone again.
9. Open File Explorer and click the drop down arrow, in which you will now see ExtendROM. Open it and delete the 2 files in the partition folder.
10. Download, extract, and run CheetahUnlocker on your computer. For this part make sure you have an ActiveSync (XP) or WMDC (Vista) connection to your phone. Click Flash SPL and go through the steps for CheetahUnlocker to Flash SPL. Don't worry about any of the other items in the menu.
11. After going through the steps in CheetahUnlocker and the phone, the phone will enter into tri-color bootloader screen momentarily followed by Loading screen...
12. Next, you'll see a light blue screen with the heading CHEEIMG.nhb followed by a few other entries below it. At this point, it will tell you press the power button. Go ahead and press the End Call/Power button. This will begin the ROM flashing. The ROM flashing takes about 5 to 15 minutes.
13. When the flashing is completed, the bottom of the screen will say Update successful and the entries above with the OK seen at the end. Now reset the Treo 750 with the stylus and immediately (during the Palm Logo) perform a Hard Reset. This is accomplished by pressing and holding the End Call/Power button and simultaneously resetting the Treo 750.
14. You will now be prompted to Erase All Data. Press the Up key of the D-Pad to continue and erase the data. This will format the phone.
11. Upon completion, the Treo 750 will continue to boot-up and go through the initial start-up steps and wizard. Once completed, your phone will now be unlocked, unbranded, and updated to Windows Mobile 6.1.
I made this thread to help people unbrand, unlock, and update their Treo 750s without having to waste hours looking for solutions and how-to something. Basically, made it easier for the noobies and everyone else to find everything in one thread.

Mine goes to a gray screen immediately with an 'update in progress' bar ... takes about 2 minutes to flash the new ROM.

There doesn't appear to be a forum for the 700W/X. Where do I get information on these earlier Treos?

hello experts of x1 xperia need help

hello sir,
i am new member of this forum.also i proud to be part of this forum.
i have one X1 XPERIA. BEFORE IT WAS CHINESE/JAPANESE LANGUAGE.
SO I ASK TO GSMHOSTING.
THERE I FOUND SOME SOLUTION. LIKE:
0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first
1. Make sure your micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd, and put that it your X1,
onto the storage card root
3. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right,
and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction
THEN IT SAY TO UPGRADE TO POWER BUTTON, I PRESS THEN PROGRESS
BAR COME IN SCREEN. THEN FULL UPGRADE SET LIKE RESTART....
BUT NOW ON WHITE LIGHT COME THIS WORD (LOADING.....)
TILL HERE I DO SUCESSFUL BUT NOW SET HANG ON (LOADING...)
I LEAVE 3 HOUR BUT SAME.
SO I REMOVE BATTERY AND PUT AGAIN AND POWER ON
COME ON SCREEN
TRICOLOUR & THERE IS SOME THING LIKE THIS:
CONTINITY UPGRADING ROM, PLEASE WAIT, THEN GO LOADING......
HOW TO REVIVE IT????
NEED HELP SIR.

Do you have a card reader?
If so, plug into PC and check if the ROM is indeed on the card and correctly named.
Device needs a full charge, this is imperative.
It is not a good idea to interrupt a ROM flash.
Report back with answers and I'll try to get you back up and running.

No need to sync with PC to flash via SD card.
If you have the ROM on the card and Hard_spl on the device, follow instructions listed in the thread.
DO NOT sync with PC until flash is complete.

i confused? how long will take??

not 100% as I'm very much an amateur at this , but that kovsimg file is WAY too small. What are you trying to flash on it??
If a full rom, the size will be in tens or probably a hundred and more MBs.

And a successful flash has taken me about 10 minutes in the past, but I've only done it twice.

the "kovsimg.nbh" is incomplete, it should be a lot bigger like the above poster has said, at least 70mb.
Im not sure if having a capital K has any affect.
Where did you get your rom from?
Sorry, im not familiar where the "Loading..." comes from.. is that before or after where you press the Power Button to start flashing the kovsimg?
Edit: nvm, loading is just before kovsimg.nbh is found. You will need to download the rom properly. Check the file size and make sure its big as in 100-200mb, and place it in the root of the storage card with the name "kovsimg.nbh" lower case.

That is correct.
The file you are showing is most likely the Hard_spl file which is about that size.
A full Rom runs from 130MB to 220MB depending on contents.

"Loading" is normal. It will move from 1% to 100% as the ROM is flashed.

Yeah. I just went to the bootloader to check it out again.. normally i just spam the power button till it starts flashing.. hence i dont remember such a text
But ya.. it shows up just before it confirms the location of a proper kovsimg.. but i thought it would say "invalid image file" which happened to me once.. not get stuck in "Loading.."
I usually flash my phone once every week or two.. new releases of cooked roms are just that great ;D

THANKS BRO.
U CAN GIVE ME FULL ENGLISH ROM PLEASE?(NOT RAPIDSHARE)
i search rom's but all rapidshare link,it's need premiur account.i don't have that. thatsway i need free (without account)
link.

There's a fine selection of roms on this forums.. worth checking out to see which one is for you, each has its features and specialties.
The question is.. do you want WindowsMobile 6.1 or 6.5? Want TouchFlo3D? 2.1 ("TR", faster, stable, less ram and battery usage) or 2.5? ("Leo", experimental, slightly sluggish and drains more battery than TR, but nicer looking and better "Home" screen); you can skip TF3D and opt for SBP Shell tooo...
My favorite is agent_47's Valkyrie Firestorm (Rhodium\TOPAZ) @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512050
But be careful when installing your own applications as it may conflict with the rom and causes it unstable ._. if you want a lot apps you want to install, you may want to not use TF3D (you can use the rom but you can disable TF3D in home settings, which is normally defaulted to "Titanium (WinMo6.5)" home screen )
Edit: You can download from Rapidshare for free when you click the "free user" button which should be next to the "premium user" button and wait around 30-50 seconds before it allows you to download; you don't need a premium account ^_^

Well, I'd say go for Agent_47's Valkyrie Firestorm (Rhod/Topz) version 5.0.28005, download it from his FTP.. I downloaded from that on a 56k dialup speed (capped internet.. bloody Australia) which took 6 hours and it came out perfect
Check out his thread @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512050; sorry i cant hotlink people's stuff.. so you'd have to visit their thread
If you have time to play around a few roms to test with, i'd recommend MrRusch & WildChild - Untamed @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568918
Also, check the other cooks' work too

thank you bro help me.
at last i want to know this files also flashing via sd card?
any others file also keep in sd card??
please add me to your massanger
id is : [email protected]
thank you.

You can flash any kovsimg straight from a SD card, just make sure it's named correctly and it's placed in the root. You can have other files/folders on the SD card as well, it wont affect it, so no need deleting everything before flashing. The only file that will be used in the flashing of the device is whatever's named kovsimg.nbh (sp?) and nothing else.
One advice after flashing is.. hard reset the device straight after. Hardreset as in pressing and holding the two silver softkeys then press and release the power button, follow the instruction (press R and then Spacebar on the hardware keyboard). You can only hardreset when the device is off first.
Hard Resetting will get rid of a lot of problems which didn't occur for other people until the applications you install on top conflicts with the system (mostly with TF3D)

[Testing] Bigger ROM size.

Hi
I managed to use extrom as a part of rom, just like 2k3 does it, but some better.
This rom is 6.5 23140 fully provided, with EzInput, MS Office 2010 and Esmertec Java
I also got 236% in tcpmp benchmark, comparing to 157% in 23668. All important drivers are moved to xip to speed anything up.
Sounds good enough ;>?
Also I activated media control in lockscreen and fixed Internet Explorer
After installation you will get 2 partitions, root \ and Storage.
Some screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
How to install? It's not that easy, read it carefully:
1. Download MTTY attachment, download Rom (link above).
2. Put your phone into bootloader and put into crandle
3. Run MTTY and click USB button. Then type in white field "task 28" without quotes and wait 5 seconds. Some confirmation informations should appear.
4. Close MTTY, Unpack Rom, run Upgrade.exe, having 3 files is important (nk, ms_ and upgrade)
5. Flash normally. Updating process will take more time than always!
6. After upgrade completed, take hima out of crandle, JUST RESET, Do not hard reset!!, and IMMEDIATELY put into crandle!!.
7. Wait until installation message will apear, after reading click Continue and then wait until device get rebooted. 5 minutes is okay to wait.

this looks like another hima historic hurdle has been passsed !!
will be trying soon..
sounds cool,real good about being able to use extrom as a part of rom...amazing !!
one small question in step 6. you mention JUST RESET is that just a matter of pressing the reset button and no other button ?
or is it a RESET where you have to press a few buttons at the same time like when you put the hima in bootloader mode ?
keep up the amazing work !!!

Nice aero, to see, that you go, where noone else ever had been before!

aero you are a legend!!

EDIT: There is no usb button there is only com1 and com2 in a drop down menu.

If there is no USB do this:
Disable USB connection in Activesync
Remember to have himalaya in bootloader mode and on USB, lol obvious
If none of this helps, tell me what windows do you use
--
With JUST RESET i mean JUST RESET, just put anything in reset hole and don't press anything

Hi arifurrokham,
If i'm not mistaken you've disabled the allow usb connections in the activesync connection settings before running mtty to show usb. After finished running mtty just enable the allow usb connections before running the upgrade to address error 112. Hope this helps

This shouldn't because Upgrade tool disables AS automatically.

AERO...Can you help me...

excellent aeroflyluby !!!
i have run this excellent stuff..
all working good so far....
question ? after looking at the "ms_.nbf" with "er2003edit" i see that most of the actions to make extrom as part of rom is done with this.
with you permission? would it be possible to use this "ms_.nbf" with any "nk.nbf/ROM" so i could have the AMAZING extrom as part of rom on any ROM i like...
is this possible? if i follow the exact same guide but just change the "nk.nbf" ?
aeroflyluby keep up the great work !

Look, extrom have cabs, autorun, some exe's and config. ROM part is to unhide extrom, then run autorun and after installing all, device will reset, clear.exe will unblock extrom to write on it and clear it, after that extrom is mounted as Storage. clear.ink from startup is removed and last operation is to run Welcome screen.
To use it on any rom you need to unhide your extrom and run autorun.

I can't really understand you. You got 108 free ram and I think you won't get any better

[Q] HD7 does not read goldcard in USB Host Mode

Hello all.
I'm currently trying to get my phone to recognize the goldcard that I create in USB host mode and nothing I seem to try works.
I found the microSD's serial ID with the help of my father's Android phone and created a goldcard.img file. I then formatted (FAT32) and then partitioned the card, followed by using goldcardtool 0.0.5 to load the file onto the flashdrive. I then copy and paste all the files from the pre-NoDo stock ROM I downloaded named:
Code:
Schubert_TMOUS_1.54.531.02_Radio_5.51T.09.29a_22.32.50.10U.7z
After that I remove my card reader and reinsert it to check if it reads, and it boots it like a normal SD card as I figured it should.
I then turn off my phone, plug the card reader into the USB hub I borrowed from a friend (after the USB splitter I bought didn't work), turn the phone back on in USB host mode (volume down + camera) and then plug my phone in.
I give it some time but it never recognizes the SD card. I don't think it even recognizes that it is plugged in because the charging light never lights up either.
I've been at it for about a week now after running into problems on every step and I've tried all sorts of different suggestions I've seen around this forum for people who had similar problems, and yet the problem still persists.
Some other information that may be pertinent:
My phone is currently developer unlocked with a student account (so only 3 apps can be loaded at a time).
Firmware Version: 2250.21.51202.531
Bootloader Version: 5.12.2250.0(135916)
This is my first time posting in XDA (although I have lurked for a while) so I apologize if I missed any information.

i have view your post,that i have some doubt maybe you have not clear described
1,how big is your sd card you choice?this operation request that the sd card can't more than 4GB. smaller better
2,which file type you choice to downgrade?this operation just need a nbh file.
it extracted from the rom.
3,have you rename the file name?the nbh file which used to downgrade bootloader need rename for SCHUING.nbh.
do all operation of above,then try again.

1. Both cards I tried (microSD and normal SD) were 1GB each.
2. I was actually putting all the files in. I only need to put the .nbh file?
3. I renamed it. I double checked by copy/pasting straight from the instructions.
So it turns out my problem was that I was putting the wrong files on the card. I only need to put the .nbh file then?
EDIT: So I tried putting only the nbh file on the SD card and doing it again and I still get the same problem (phone says "Enter USB Host Mode.." even though I am connected by USB).

yes, just need a nbh type file,and it extracted from the rom 7004 or 7008.
i think the problem is, you have choiced the wrong nbh file.
there were two nbh file in the rom.one named ruu_signed.nbh and another one named spl_signed.nbh.
please use spl_signed.nbh to downgrade your hd7 bootloader.
rename spl_signed.nbh into SCHUING.nbh,it must be capitalized
does there is any other files in your sd card which use to downgrade bootloader?make sure your sd card is full empty before you put in the nbh file.

Any Ideas? I have the same problem with my HD7S :/

you see, the thing is not with the ROM files or with the gold card, the device just don't read usb never does, like nothing is connected to it, just stuck at the Enter USB Host Mode.. screen forever.
If it was wrong ROM file it would give an error, but this problem is different, I tried doing it using a number of card readers, and my old TouchPro2, the screen of the TP2 never changes, I think it should tell me to choose USB mode (Active sync or Mass storage) but that never happens

I tried the other nbh file also and still no luck.

This describes the problem I'm having as well. My phone doesn't even recognize that it is plugged in while on this screen. Every other time it works fine except for during this process.

thanks for your question,it makes me think of another kind of possibility.
does your sd card reader have indicating lamp?check whether it is on working when you insert it and connected to phone and power.if it not on working,please make a y cable by yourself.
please don't connect usb hub or y cable to pc,it must be power supply.
as your issue,i was consulting to my friends around,i am waitting for there good news,hope it was useful for your issue

IT WORKED!!
here's what I did, I used the Y cable that I tried yesterday, but what I used now a 1GB Flash memory patched with a random goldcard image, connected the power to my phone's charger, at the other end was my TP2, it took a lot of time but nothing happened, so I disconnected my phone and connected the flash memory and almost instantly it read it and it's flashing as we speak.
I wish you good luck OP

@OP make yourself a Y cable, it might sound too much work but it isn't
I spent about 2 months with halfbricked phone just because of... laziness, and gotta say, after you flash an unlocked rom, your phone will feel like something else

I think I will have to because it seems the problems fall on my USB splitters.

This might be a daft question but are you sure you're plugging the right ends of the cable into the right places?

Perfect Y cable used OK with other phones.
3 SDCARD +2 U DRIVE.
STILL STUCK AT THE "ENTER USB HOST MODE"
maybe it's the phone's problem.
