I have a PW10B1...I downgraded the ROM to 6.24
now info for device
ROM Version 4.01.16 Eng
Radio Version 6.24.00
Protocol Version 324e4
When I try to upload the Special edition Rom I get an error when running Xda tools
C:\xda>pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect
I am following these instructions... the error occurs at step 5. please advise. I had downgraded the ROM from before and tried the unlock program. it did not work.
Now my goal was just to use the XDAunlock program. When I ran the program right from the defaults I got 'error getting unlock code.'
Here's what I started out with:
ROM: 4.01.16 ENG
Radio: 6.25.02
Wallaby booatloader: 5.22
What finally worked:
Radio: 6.24.00
ROM: 3.17.03 ENG (XDA special edition)
then upgraded back to 4.01.16 ENG
Wallaby boot loader 5.15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I grabbed:!
XDATools
ActiveSync
XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2
RSU 6.24.00 files
XDAUnlock.exe
1x64Mb+ SD card
What to do?!
Back up everything. Not just using the sda backup tool, from the boot loader.
You can do the SD backup if you want, consider it backing up your data.
You can also do the ActiveSync backup if you want to save your data.
I'm doing ALL of this with no SIM chip in the device. This may or may not be necessary.
Backup the existing bootloader and operating system using card reader
Wipe the SD card (format FAT). Stick the SD card back into the pda and soft reset, then cradle it.
Go to a DOS prompt and CD to where you have extracted the XDATools
Type 'pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0' to write the Wallaby 5.15 boot loader to the device.
The output looks like this:
D:\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader_40116 bl515.nb0
Copying D:\XDAtools\binaries\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
in FindFlashInfoOffset
protection found at 8c0d60f8
result: 00000000 00000000
Install the XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2
You can try installing it directly via ActiveSync connection by running the exe on your PC
or
Flash your device via SD Card and bootloader (by writing the NK.nbf-file in the directory English to your Device)
Boot up your device
Follow the instructions to calibrate the screen and you're ready to move on.
Grab the RSU 6.24.00 files and unzip into a folder on your computer
Use ActiveSync to copy the files to \windows on the device.
Execute the rsupdate.exe program to reprogram the radio to 6.24.
When completed soft reset the device
Go into start -> settings -> system -> device info to make sure you're at 6.24 radio vesion
Copy the xdaunlock.exe to the device and execute.
It should say 'you're device appears to be SIM Locked, would you like to remedy this?"
Click Yes to unlock the device.
Now the device is unlocked.
You can change the ROM to WM2003 or any other ROM if you want.
Also you can re-upgrade your bootloader and radio stack if you want but I'm leaving well enough alone for now!
formatting the SD card
I used my PC and a card reader to format the SD card as FAT. I did not see any other option from the device itself to format the card.... could this be part of the problem ?
can anyone tell me how to use the PW10B1 to fromat
can anyone tell me how to use the PW10B1 to fromat the SD card. I havew copied the image via the OS image tool, but the does not the device does not ask me to format.when I put the SD card in. it can read the NK.nbf file as 31MB. When I power/reset it just goes to GSM OK.
Please help. I have reinserted the card but no difference.
Download XDATools
Extract them at any place and run osimagetool
Select your Rom Image from the Source drop down menu.
Select your SD card (disk drive) from Destination the drop down menu.
Select Copy to start writing process and the tool should start writing to the card.
When XDATools has finished writing the image (no Infomessage) put the SD-card into your device
If there comes a message to format the SD-card select No
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"
any ideas
anyone know what I should do ?
you need the attached bootloader installed first.
Then you can do the SD.
Format FAT using reader card is fine.
To load the image file, I use:
1) Right click on the NK.nbf file & select write to SD.
this assume you have registered the tool to your system by
running the "-register" command.
If the attached bootloader doesn't work, then you need to upgrade your
*.NET framework.
This is what works for me.

Hi
I've got a problem with rooting my HTC Hero. It's running Android 2.1
I've read and understand this tutorial-website about custom ROMs for Android.
It's Dutch (me too ) but here's the English translation link:
<EDITTED URL DUE TO FORUM RESTRICTIONS!!>

---Powered by Google---
Go to "For people with Android 2.1". That's the important part.
I do all it says. But what I get from the command prompt is this: (again translated to English using Google)

My phone won't reboot. HELP!
Thank you very much!
Welcome to XDA!
Please use a search before posting a new thread.
Every hTC device have it's own forum and it's the first place to look for ongoing discussion about device developments.
Take a look [here] and if you can't find answer to your question post it in Tatto General section [here].
You may have better response there.
A newbie question. How does one apply a boot image? Flash via CWM or apply using Odin? I can do ROMs with no problems, but this is the first time doing part of an install. TIA.
if you have an image file you would need a disk writer program. If you have a mac you can use disk utility which comes with the mac. On Winows you would use win32 disk imager. I have no idea on linux. The general idea is to write the image file onto a sd card once it is plugged in and recognized on your computer. Make sure you don't have anything important on that sd. When you hear the phrase "copy to the root of the sd " it just means you copy the file to the sd card which you wrote the image onto. if it was just one partition then don't worry about it and just copy and paste.
Hey guys, is there a root method for the XT912 running the 4.1.2 jellybean OTA?

Hey buddy.
The Razr blade root method should help you. Make sure to have your drivers installed and also be in MTP mode when connected to computer with debugging on in settings/developer options.

This method did not work for me
This is what I get. Tried it four times and still no root. It was rooted before the OTA Also.
Got it in MTP mode and have the latest Mot drivers installed. Also in debugging mode...
Any ideas. Thanks

I noticed they have root for 4.1.2 that was accidentally leaked on Christmas Eve last year... I'm afraid that maybe the update I have may not be that accidental leak... but rather a more official build than the leak was?
Were there two 4.1.2 jelly bean updates?

I have no idea. If you are on the latest update, the method above works.
I'll give the method above a shot.
Definitely won't hurt to try... hopefully.
Does using this method require a specific version of Windows? I only have a laptop with XP on it right now.
I know when it came to rooting my previous phone, the Thunderbolt, I had to have a laptop with Windows 7 for it to root properly.

RAZR blade should work from XP.

Okay, so I tried running it and it was a no go.
I installed the "drivers" found here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Put my phone into MTP mode and turned on USB debugging.
Now, I downloaded and extracted the Razr Blade files and then double clicked run.bat (I got a prompt asking to extract all or just run) -- I just clicked run.
Here is my result:

I'm slow sometimes.
Worked like a charm.
Thanks everyone!!

Im pretty sure you got it by now, but for anyone else, this is either a driver error, or more likely, its the new adb security added in later android versions. If you see a popup on screen saying allow debugging, check always and allow.
