You seem to have an old ntrw version. Get a newer one from this forum's FTP server.
Cheers, Daniel
or follow the thread about upgrading to radio 1.13 to do it without ntrw

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.

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!

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
Hi Bro,
I need some advice on O2 mini as my SD card is not working good.
Before I started my Rom experiment, the SD was working good with both the magician and my laptop.
I made a mistake and I did not backup my rom before I start flashing.
After changing to my new rom, seems like I cant inter-use the SD between my laptop and magician. The magician cant read anything from the SD if I put data into the SD from my laptop via SD card reader/writer. When inserted to the magician, it will prompt to reformat. The same thing happen when I slot in the card to card reader after writing something from magician.
Therefore, now, I cant use SD to update rom ect.
How can i solve this problem? Thanks
Russ
Have you already tried formatting the SD card? When an SD card is used for ROM upgrading the card becomes totally unreadable for both PC and Magician.
Zerimar,
I did reformat of the SD on my laptop before writing the image to the SD via ntrw.
However, after slotting back to Magician, then go to Bootloader mode and wait for the "start loading prompt" but that have not happen yet.
russ
I think I misunderstood you, sorry. Put the Magician into bootloader mode first then insert the SD card. It should then display the message asking you to press the Power Switch to start the upload.
Thanks for your reply dude,
I've tried that too. It does not look promising.
I hope there is nothing wrong with my sd slot in the magician and i dun think there is any hardware problem. I confirmed that the Image was written in the SD.
Initially the SD card was working well with the magician before i did any rom flashing myself. even with the 1.12 WWE rom i cant read the SD. I've tried to reformat using XP on my laptop, and put back to magician. Then the magician will prompt to format again. else i cant see the storage card in the file explorer.
I've tried:
1) Slot in SD and wait - DUN WORK
2)Slot in SD, disable Async USB, and slot in use to Magician and wait. -DUN WORL ALSO
3)Slot in SD, press camera, on/of, and reset and wait till the SD load screen- ALSO DUN WORK.
4)Go to Boot loader, the slot in SD and wait- ALSO DUN WORK
5) No more idea
I wonder if different rom version will not work with certain sd brand.
My details is : 1.12 WWE with big storage.
SD : Kingston 256MB
I've tried with 1.13 WWE also but the same problem.
Hope someone can help or anyone have the same problem before?
Hello, Try this one
I think if you get problem with the SD card, you can use Mr. OLTP ways.
First open this :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
then
downloadls all the tools you need, from the site.
1. Unzip NL_11300_131_11200.exe (or any other shipped-rom) to get all the .nbf & enterbl.exe . click right your mouse and chose extract to NL_11300_131_11200\
then you must copy all the file from NL_11300_131_11200 folder to c:
ex: c:\temp (make a new folder "temp", and copy the file from the NL_11300_131_11200 folder).
2. Put NBFDEC in the same directory = open nbfdec folder, you will find release folder in there, open the relase folder and copy 2 file to c:\temp.
3. open the temp folder and find getdevicedata.exe, Copy the getdevicedata.exe to your Magician and execute it (it will not provide any gui displays or feedback whatsoever), open the windows in my device(in your PDA), search for getdevicedata.txt. then copy to your desktop, and open with notepad.
4. To decode nk.nbf -> nk.nb1 start a command window, go to the directory where you stored nbfdec & the other files & type: nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1
this isi the ex:
in cmd
c:\documents and settings\frans>cd c:
c:\documents and settings\frans
c:\documents and settings\frans>cd ..
c:\documents and settings>cd ..
c:\>cd c:temp
c:\temp>nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1
this will convert nk.nbf to nk.nb1
don't close the CMD windows
now open the Hexeditor (must use the newest version V3.x)
open file/nk.nb1
then klik replace button , in the upper insert 02 00 00 80 00 20
in the lower 02 00 00 b8 01 20
replace all, enter.
save file in same name.
then back to the CMD window
c:\temp>nbfdec -e nk.nb1 nk.nbf
and
close the CMD windows.
open the temp folder, plug your PDA to USB,
On your PDA press power,camera and reset to bootloader mode.
clik maupgradeut_noid.exe on the temp folder.
and follow the instruction. if shows error 120. repeat again clik maupgradeut_noid.exe this will start to instal your OS
FINISH
thanks to MR. AMPDA, MR. OLTP and Mr. SEAN
for helping me.
Pls follow the guides on the board a little more carefully! Mine is very good ;-)
When you dumped your rom image on your SD with your magician, you completely destroyed the MBR of the SD. Before you save the image to your laptop with ntrw, your laptop will want to format it, cause it can't unserstand the car
. Don't do that. just put it in your cardreader & back it up with ntrw. Then you can write back another image to the card with ntrw & put your card in your magician. Just as long as you didn't format the card in between the operations the bootloader will recognize the image on the SD by the word magician which must be the first thing it reads on the card. If there's a mbr instead of the word magician, no mather what the bootloader will not present you the image 'press power to flash'
Hope you understand know how to solve your 'problem'

Hello yeoruss,
did u actually fixed the problem with using the sdcard on notebook and ppc at the same time? Ive the same problem after storing my ROM on SD.
I simply cant use the card in both units. When i format it under windows, is works in Windows but not on PPC - The PPC asks to reformat the card to make it readable.
When I format the Card on PPC, it works there, but no more in Windows.
Im experimenting all the time but i cant see the solution
Edit: I did not changed the ROM on my Magician, i just tryd to backup my current ROM.
Thank u
I wanted to make a backup of my spv m500.
Followed step by step the instructions here in the forum, but every time
I type "d2s" in the command screen of mtty, i get the following
message: "Card init is fail!"
I'm Using a 1 GB formatted MMC card.
Any Ideas?
Thx for any help.

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.
