Hi, when I upgraded my rom I encountered a small problem. I have loaded the rom from my MDA to the SD card. But when I tried to use ntrw command, it just did not work. The command I used is "ntrw read Tmobile.nb1 i:". However, I just got the message "Usage: ntrw file drive:" on the screen. I supposed the problem is in the filename I used, "Tmobile.nb1". Now I am in the UK, and this is an English 1.12 WWE rom. So what should the file name be? and how can I get NTRW work?
I am sorry for the dummy question. I did search the forum, trying to find the answer to my question, but could not find any. Please help and tell me how to solve the problem.... Again, my apology for my ignorance....
I did a little research on google and found that the file name of the rom on the SD card can be randomly given. Therefore, the command I used "ntrw read Tmobile.nb1 i:" should have worked. And I am sure that the sd card is on drive i:.
Now I really don't know why I cannot load the rom from the SD card to my PC? Can anyone help....
My card is Sandisk 1.0 gb. Can that be a problem? When I tried to upload a rom file from my pc to the sd card, it showed: "unsupported media type"......
This is weird cause i've got the same problem "it just says ntrw write file usage" and i use a sandisk 1.0 GB card too.
I guess the software u using is corupted, try to download again in FTP but make sure use diffent one. Because there are many software with the same name, but some of it is not working perfectly.
Thx for your reply, mate!! Now I found the problem. As you said I used the wrong software. I simply use the ntrw.exe file from the upgrade guild folder. However, that one is not compatible with either windows sp2 or usb 2.0. I d/l the ntrw 2.0, and everything is fine now.
Thx for helping

After I successfully backup my O2 Mini existing ROM to the SD Card by the romupdate.exe. I used the ntrw.exe to convert the Image in the SD card to my computer. However, when i excute the command
> ntrw read backup.nb1 X:/
it return the followings..
>could not open backup.nb1 -- the volume does not contain a recognized file system. Pleas make sure that all requited file system drivers are loaded and that the colume is not corrupted.
I have tried other card reader (both 1.1 and 2.0) other computer and other SD card ( i am using LEXAR and Kingston 256 ) but the problem exists.
and the romupdate said the d2s command was success.
Why will it happen and

You need to use a card reader and the drive X: should be the drive XP allocates to the SD card slot on your reader.
XP Assigns my SD reader to I: unless you have a lot of network drives on your PC it should be somewhere. The card needs to be in the card reader slot obviously and not the PDA.
I am also assuming that you are trying to write the Rom to your hard drive and not writing it back to the SD?
Hi there, looking at the dos screen you took, its telling you that you have already a file with that name in the folder. look, delete that file... and then try again... i had that problem yesterday. Now im struggling to upload the rom.
by wrong command also, it creates the nb1 file. so do DIR and see that .nb1 with 0 bytes will be there. delete it and try again!

SD Card problems after upgrading to 1.12
I posted this in the normal form but no one replied, I think this may be a problem causing my upgrading, so I post again here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SD Card used for dumping rom with ntrw could no longer be accessed by my notebook which was accessable before(I formatted the SDs already with my mini), it needed to be formatted, after I did that, and plug the SD into my mini, the mini couldnt read it and prompting the SD card needed to be formatted again!
So, I formatted it again with my mini, but after that my Notebook want to format the SD again, and the fight between them keeps going...
anyone encounter the same issue...there are some clues that I tested:
1. I got 3 SD cards, 2 for them used for upgrading and they occured the same problem, but the third one which is clean can be accessed by both machine
2. The SD cards(those with the problem) can be read by my PC's Card reader...
I know I could use the card reader instead, but I dont wana waste the build in one in my notebook and the data exchange between my Notebook and mini is quite important to me, pls if anyone could help me solving the problem, Many thx!
Hi, you must use ntrw in comand window ( in winxp run cmd )
Take ntrw.exe and your file.nb1 in roof directory.
Type the command C:\ntrw read rom.nb1 x: ("x" is your cardreader name)
Ignore any error message when you plug SD card into your cardreader.
After that you type d2s in next window, so on...
When finish you will have file .nb1 in your roof directory.
Hope you successful !
HI.. m Oicnev.. this is regarding extracting the files from the EXE rom.. have download both the 131 and 132 (a later version, as told), but couldn't extract the files.
Have tried using winrar and winzip, but to no avail.. tried right-clicking, but no option to extract, only add to archive.. tried accessing from within winrar. there was the option to extract, but it always returned, no archive file/s in there..
tried running the EXE rom, it ran, posted extracting files, and the showed its dialog box.. then, as told, it returned an error in the end..
i used netants as downloader..
is there anything i further need to do to be able to extract the files? Is there any other way i could get the files? PLS HELP!!!
ALSO, i bought a 4gig SD Card.. the problem is my xda mini couldn't access it, unless, as it prompted, it formats it "to make it readable." This i did, and yes it became readable, but it got converted to 2.1gig. i returned it to the seller, had it replaced, thank goodness the seller was kind.. but now, i don't know what to do.. the SD Card is accessible as 4gig from my card reader though... will the rom upgrade fix the problem? Is there any other software that i need to have? PLS HELP!!!
MANY MANY THANKS, in advance!
You used one of the ROMs from this site's FTP right? I've tried several and all of them extract just fine! If you're looking for the latest ROM that is used widely without any problems, 1.13 T-Mobile ROM, that can be found here.
From there you can use kta's + ampda's guides or my own guide to run you through the upgrade process!
Thanks... only that... Stil problem - 4gig SD Card vs. Mini
Ey, know what, i finally solved my puzzle re EXE ROM.. have managed to extract the files... i tried running the EXE file, clicking next til the last one before it would start to upgrade, but without clicking it (i read from one of your guides).. then i searched for the files in my hidden windows temp folders... found them.. and ran the upgrade.. It went perfectly, i liked it..
But my BIG other problem remained.. still, my XDA Mini couldn't access my 4gig SD Card, despite all the upgrades.. it was still prompting me to format it (beccause it couldn't read it), which must not be done, coz it will convert it to 2.1gig.
I read in one forum to try partitioning the SD Card into two 2gig partitions.. i found it sound.. i followed the instructions.. i ran "compmgmt.msc" from my pc through "start/run".. I was trying to make the first step of deleting the partition through 'Disk Management', but to no avail.. Yes, there was a 'delete partition' option shown in the menus, but unlit; meaning option not available.. So, i was already stalled, couldn't proceed anymore...
Anyone with more options out there? please help...
Many thanks
Your device formatted the memory card as FAT16. This is only supported up to 2 GB:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#Final_FAT16
Just format the memory card with your card reader as "FAT32" and you will have 4 GB capacity.
RE FAT16
Hi... i checked through my card reader.. its in fat32 format...
@esackbauer,
are you sure the fat16 fat32 topic is the answer to the problems with 4 gig cards? to mee, it doesnt seem so!

Make sure that the ntrw.exe is in the Root of your Drive C: and check also the correct drive letter of your Card reader.

Hi all
Sorry for my poor English
I have tried three to four WM6.1 Rom on my HTC TYTNII, whenever an application try to read the storage card, it hangs, but any other application installed on device working fine,
also tried to exchange the SD card with my friends TYTNII,
both my and his card working on his device
both my and his card hangs on my device
however, if I flash a WM6.0 Rom, this issue doesn't exist, did anyone meet this or only me ???
BTW,
the card is a SanDisk 8G
3.29.707.0 WWE
05/07/08
1.65.16.25
25.83.40.02H
KAIS130
SPL-3.28.Hard
CPLD-8
Hope we may have a solution on the above, Thanks for any reply.
the apps that are freezing, are they installed on device and reading files on storage card orr installed to storage card and the shortcut is on device? if the apps are installed to the storage card they will sometimes run slow, try uninstalling them and reinstalling to the device. also you might check your running programs in the task manager. running programs will obviously eat RAM and thus the device will run slower
i thing it is not cause by reinstallation
even i use the built in file explorer to read the SD card, it also hang...

had the same problem after flashing the original german wm6.1 rom. everytime i tried to read the sd card totalcomander/file explorer crashed, couldn´t play music from the sd, but the files were readable via cardreader
i formatted the sd card, hard resetted a few times with/without card: noting, the problem was still here.
so i flashed another rom and voila: NO FREEZING! don´t know what happend, but everything is good now.
my first flash of the offical wm6.1 rom was a "bad" one, i think the download was a little bit corrupted, the start menu wasn´t like it should be, there were parts from the old wm6 left i think. so i think you should DOWNLOAD the rom again and then try to flash again.

1. Try removing the SD card and SIM while flashing the new ROM.
2. Try formatting the SD card in FAT32 again.
Clean your card slot in the phone its dirty thats all .
Tried removing the SD card and SIM while flashing the new ROM
Tried formatting the SD card in FAT32 again.
problem still reamin,
however, once reflash back to Windows Mobile 6.0, SD card works reflash 6.1 SD hang.....any idea?
I've seen a similar symptom to this if I try to change my Internet cache to write to the storage card.
Both the OEM AT&T Tilt 6.1 firmware and a couple of the flashes from here - same thing.
Now here's the cute part - I also have a 2GB NON-SDHC card and so far, with THAT card, it hasn't happened.
This looks like some kind of registry problem in these ROMs, and it also appears to be in the base code and across a number of different loads.
It scrambled the hell out of the formatting on my 4GB card when it happened the first time. The second time I SAW a scrambled directory in Total Commander, but a checkdisk on my PC (it has a reader that can read the SDHC cards native) came back clean.
There's something funny going on with these loads somewhere.
Never mind - it just blew up the same way on the non-HC card. Same deal.
