Hi All,
I wonder if someone could give me a little advise on a ROM problem.
When trying to upgrade to ANY ROM image & get the following error message:
"ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.....
..Error Getting connectiontype"
Then the ROM program closes & goes no further....>Doh!!
I have done a soft & hard re-boot, re-installed MS ActiveSync & even tried on another PC.
Please help!
did you follow this guide to upgrade ?
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

Yes, I certainly tried to follow instructions to the letter & don't think I missed anything.
Any other ideas guy?
what bootloader version is it ?
here is a bit about different bootloaders
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/WallabyBootloader
Thanks very much. I have now got the latest XDA 1 ROm from the o2 website & have installed the latest radio stack update too.
However I now have no signal! have also tried several other SIM cards & no joy..
Strange..
Hi
Started program - found SX56. Message "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes"
on pda. Then it said that it had a problem with the USB or COM connection, and
to fix it in device manager. I opened Device Manager, and checked that all the
USB and COM ports were enabled, which they were.
By this time, the unlock software and ActiveSync had stopped running. The pda
was still stuck on the "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes" screen. Since
the configuration has changed, ActiveSync will no longer recognize the device,
and will not sync with it. Your software will not connect until ActiveSync does.
All that comes up is the "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes" screen. there
is no other functionality to the system.Hard or soft resets make no difference.
Active Sync doesn't work. The PDA has changed its configuration, so active
Sync doesn't recognize it. When I plug it in, Active Sync sees something, but
can't even tell that it is a pda, and I can't even set up a new connection with
it. let alone use the old connection.
Can anyone help? is there a way i can reinstall active sync or is there another way to fix it? please help
You will need xdatools, sd card, card reader/writer and rom file from kitchen for sd card flashing. Unzip the rom after download, start xdatools on your pc, choose the unzipped rom file as source and the drive letter for your sd card as destination from drop down menu, once the card is programmed insert sd card to phone, push reset while holding power, when prompted you then push the action key which is centre of 4 way rocker buttons. Once flashed push the unscrewed stylus into hole next to headphone socket, push once only, wait one minute push once more, this will work as long as you dont have a problematic version of bootloader on your phone. Good luck.
System is entirely backed up onto SD card.Can't use SD card. Can't use PDA.
PDA is still stuck on "ugrading - will take about 5 minutes". It apparently has
no operating system in ROM. No difference with hard or soft reset - comes back
to same screen, no function in PDA.
HELP PLEASE
I think you misunderstood, a normal backup is no good, you need to program an sd card with a new rom, when this is placed in your xda and soft reset it should reprogram your phone with a new rom. You are correct when you say it has no rom, the method I described should restore your phone to a working machine. You do not need a rom to reprogram using bootloader/sd card method, try it and see.
You will need xdatools, sd card, card reader/writer and rom file from kitchen for sd card flashing.

Okay, so can I basically use the newest ROM which also unlock the device too?
You will need to use either xda developers special edition rom to unlock or include the unlock program from the kitchen in a 2002 rom, you can then upgrade to wm2003 if you wish, you cannot unlock under wm2003 so you must use special edition or kitchen rom based on 2002 first.
I am sorry if i keep asking you questions.
I do have the xda special rom, ive tryed using it but it caused the problem i do have right now.
i did download xdatools by jeff. i cannot run them though.
Could you describe step by stef of what i need to do.
i.e. do i need a complete NEW ROM, or can i just transfer the xda special rom to my SD card and then run it to restore my device?
But i guess not, else you wouldnt have explained what i need to do.
Thats the error i get when i try to run xdatools. (I dont understand the install note)
"INSTALLATION
From the source + exe distribution copy OsImageTool.exe and itsutils.dll
to the programme A directory as created by unpacking
jeff's-exe (http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/) to a directory in
your "Program Files" directory. Then run 'OsImageTool --register'."
IF you unzip the files you already have both of those files in the folder.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
You have to install ActiveSync.
You can get it diretcly from Microsoft for free....

. I was able to locate the NK.nbf file. I ran the XDA OS image tool, to put the OS on the sd card, from the NK file. That apparently succeeded, but it is hard to tell. After loading the OS, when I take out the sd card, then put the sd card back into the sd card reader, it can no longer read the sd card. I can format the sd card again, using my camera, so the sd card is not destroyed.
Wher I put the sd card in the SX56, there is no problem, but there is no success.
Pushing soft reset alone does nothing. Pushing the power button alone does not turn the machine on or off, and does nothing.
Pushing power and soft reset at the same time, gets me the “Wallaby Bootloader V5.15” screen. It first says “wait”, and then says “GSM OK”. It then does nothing else, and doesn’t prompt me to do anything else. If I push the action button, I get “DIAGNOSTICS GPRSA 20324e4”. From there, I can scroll up and down, and test the RAM, Display, battery, USB, etc – all items tested seem OK. There is nowhere to go from here – all it does is test the pieces.
After that, if I push the hard reset (the one that disconnects the battery), the power goes off, and the screen is dark. This is the only way to turn the machine off at the moment. If I push hard reset again, it comes up with a screen full of lines, with two blank holes in it (see attached file). From there, none of the buttons do anything, except hard reset (which turns the machine off again), or soft reset + power, which brings up the bootloader screen again.
have the siemens ROM. It will not work with the cradle, because it cannot find the pda if Activesync can’t make a connection, and loading it onto the SD card does nothing new – both results are exactly the same as with what described above.
any suggestions?
Hi all, first post from an XDA newbie - be gentle!!
I've inherited an 02 XDA from my brother as it's not working & he's upgraded.
I'm trying desperately to get this thing to work. He installed the xda-developers Special Edition ROM V1.2 (according to the front screen - it says in red in the bottom corner 3.17.83 , it also has a red G and R above this)
It doesn't seem to hold a charge very long, which suggests the internal battery is dead. I've read about the light in the top right corner of the unit - I've never seen this lit except once when it went red for a few seconds.
When its sat in the cradle, it seems to work ok. I've checked the Version etc, and it reads:
ROM 3.17.03 ENG
ROM Date: 5.15.03
Radio Version:
Protocol:
I want to reinstall the XDA ROM to see whether it works with the "official" ROM.
I've tried to do a soft reset, I get the stripey screen with WALLABY BootLoader V5.22. After the WAIT sign, I get GSM ERROR, which ties in with the above Version Info in that there is no Radio Version number?
When I press the Action key, I see GSM turn ON Please Wait - then after waiting I get GSM turn ON fail!!
Can anyone tell me how to do the following:
1) Get the official operating system from the o2 website onto an SD Card
2) Get the XDA to boot from the new operating system
I can see from the 02 website that there are 2 downloads, RUU and RSU. I guess one is the OS and one is the radio unit (gsm settings??)
I have a laptop with SD Card reader built in, and a blank 256mb SD Card.
I apologise for the length of this posting, but I have no idea what I'm doing really! Any advice / help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Steve
PS - also tried a hard reset, but first press switches off the unti, and it stays off after the second press - HELP!!!!
YOur GSM Part is corrupt.
Flashing a new ROM wouldn't solve the problem....

thanks Stefan.
I read the link, how do I install the ROM to the XDA unsing SD Cardreader & Bootloader?

Thanks guys, you've been really helpful.
I'll report back when I've tried to do all this stuff.
One more question - I've only got a 64Mb SD Card, is that big enough?
ALSO - in the instructions it says "Select your Rom Image from the Source drop down menu. "
Which file is the ROM image?
nk.nb1 or nk.nbf
and yes 64MB should be enough
The mystery deepens -
I've put the SD Card in the card reader, but when I use XDATools, i can't select the SD Card as the destination for the ROM image file.
I click on the Removable "E" drive in the Explorer style layout, but it's almost like the tool is wantingme to select something, but i don't know what!
FYI, the SD card already has some data on it ( I took it out of my Dads Digital camera!) Could this be the problem?
Thanks
hi ppl,
today I ve made rom with the romkitchen, it was 2003 final and everything went ok, phone was functional until I used to try to install some newer versin of the programs I previously included in the rom. That didnt work (of course) so I decide to put another rom without those programs so I can install newer versions but when I run the romkithen exe computer report
in the dos window
error getconnectiontipe - unspecified error
error getting connectiontype
and the program for the patching report that he is trying to get the data from the device and after that he reports that
"cannot execute the remote communication program, please make sure that the usb/serial cable is properly connectes"
of course cable is connected, device syncing with the active sync and the icon is green, used to try to soft reset pc and pocketpc, to hardware reset pocket pc, to connect it to other pc and patch there, to install active sync 3.7.1, to reinstall active sync 4.2, to reinstall usb drivers on the pc, to put sim card and sd card out and to patch then... nothing helped...
what can I do ? is that due to the windows 2003 instalation on the pocket pc (had same version on other wallaby without the problems) ? can I solve that some way ?
I ve read before that patching can be performed from the SD card so I found the xda tools and osi image tool but couldnt found rom nd1 file anywhere (was stupid and didnt make copy of my previous rom)... which rom can I use just to enable USB connection and after that I ll patch it with the "normal" rom from the rom kitchen...
Ive checked those roms http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions but didnt find any nd1 file in the files I ve checked, can I use those roms with osi image tool eventually ?
which one ?
Lots of questions ... Sorry people ...
I can use it in this condition too but I d rather have an opportunity to flash it to some other version maybe.
Best regards to the community !
I think it´s just the problem that the ROM prohibits flashing via EXE-file. You have to flash via SD-Card.....
You find the ROm to write on the SD-Card in the EXE-FIle. Just extract the exe using winzip, and then you will find it in a subdirectory (normally english, or dependent on the ROM-Language...)
Stefan
Thanks a lot Stefan, so I can use some ROM from the page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions ?
Any advice which one should I take please (Im not using any of the operators noted there, just looking for some rom that will function ok) ?
Thanks m8 !
Yes, you can take any rom of it. Mostly the T-Mobile prohibits flashing via EXE-File, but Flashing via SD-Card is more secure in my opinion. So i´ve done 99,9% of my flashes via SD-Card, and you can believe me, i´ve done it a lot of times.....
By the way, which software has to been updated in my romkitchen?
If you give me the hints, i could try to update them....
Stefan
thanks a lot for your time and advices Stefan !
Its not a huge problem but probably we share same opinion - most of the tech guys like to see that everything work fine, if something doesnt work then we re not satisfied.
Basically problem is that I included spb pocket plus in the rom and therefore I cant install spb weather which demands pocket plus v 2.5+ and version in the rom is 2.0. I cant upgrade it coz its in the ROM, used to try to remove it from the registry but no luck, used to install latest spb diary coz the spb weather also work with the diary but looks like that the first thing weather perform is checking of the pocket plus version and if the version is not 2.5+ it stops the installation...
Probably for the most of the people spb weather is not a reason for loosing couple of hours in trying to change rom in wallaby but as I ve mentioned I like the things that work 100%, if some electronic/computer stuff work at 99% that usually bother me. Stupid - I know but thats the way it is.
Im going to patch it thru the SD, thanks again for the all your efforts now and before.
GL & HF !
Sorry...
Still need help, using the OSI tool I copyed NK.nbf file from 4.02.04_eng rom to "XDA SD Card Slot -unknown size" - coz I dont have card reader/writer at the present moment so I tought that I can put the file via the cradle connection while the card is in the wallaby...
Checked the card from the wallaby file explorer but nothing is on the card, since I had expirience with direct writing to c64 and amiga disks writing I assumed that file could be written directly to the card without OS instructions but after the reset of the wallaby it report that card shoud be formatted to become writable... Is that normal, or I should wait for the card writer reader to put the file properly to the sd card ?
If possible please help me with the link for the OSI tool patching, I cant find it anymore, checked thru the site but no luck, dont know what I have to press so the wallaby read the rom from the sd card.
Thanks Stefan & all others
success !
No help needed, I ve made it...
So dont have any fears as Stefan told unpack the rom from the self extracting archive and run osi tool, in the source field set nbf as a file type and then select extraced rom.
As a target you can set card reader/writer and also you can put the SD card in the wallaby as I did. Set the XDA SD card as a target in that case.
Its normal that after the writing (no message that writing is successfull, when it is finished OSI tool will stop) SD card become unreadable to wallaby.
Then perform actions as noted in SD card patching info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
Hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a " Hard Reset"
Action button mentioned above is middle button - "D PAD"
Works like a charm, now I have o2 win 2002 and later I ll patch it to 2003 SE again but without pocket plus.
Thanks Stefan and community !

No, don't use the EBOOT from the ATOM EXEC(MN2). you must use MN1(from ATOM STD). I had attached it to you.
here is the step.
1. copy eboot.nb0 to your SD-CARD (in the root) and insert your card to your ATOM EXEC
2. preset camera+reset
3. you will see the progress status (wait until your device off)
4. TAKE out your SD-card
5. preset camera+reset again (you will see MN1 bootloader)
6. hook up your USB
7. run software update utility (you may use WM5 or WM6 EXEC ROM)
8. wait until 6% stack on extended ROM (you will see failed status on your bootloader screen during update ext ROM)
9. press on/off + reset perform hard reset
10. your windows will be up and able to sync with activesync. (your bootloader now MN2 again!!)
11. now you may perform the DSUU and this time your EXT rom will be update successfully.
12. delete EBOOT.bin from your SD card
13. done and enjoy.
please beware, you are playing the most dangerous part now.

Follow by the instruction.
I use the 2GB Mini SD card to flash the MN2 bootloader to MN1.
Before I copy the EBOOT.nb0, I format the MiniSD and I had confirmed the card can be read in AtomExec.
The screen display "transfer completed" after I inserted the MiniSD and press camera+reset.
After the message was shown, no response come out in next 3 - 5 minutes.
So I press camera+reset again.
The Atom Exec will load in MN2 bootloader again.
I got a trouble in step3.
I had tried the Atom EBOOT.nb0 & Atom Exec Offical WM5 EBOOT.nb0.
Both of them are same, after the message come out and nothing to do.
Any solution I can go back to WM5 ?
I'm can not stad for the AtomExec unable to use the Bluetooth headset while in phone call.
Try to use 256MB memorycard.
Is there can not use in 2 GB ??
it is because I have not 256 MB MINI SD......
