Success...well sort of...

Bluetooth dongle came in today...took a bit of work to get MDA to read, but finally success! For the record, the WST works via bluetooth. Using BT to sync DOES suck up a lot of my battery...so hopefully my new desk charger will work well.

Here is my dilemma...

I now have the crappy stock Tmo rom on here...had to use to save wizard from the dead...hate the tmo rom. I do not think I can flash via BT, as flashing powers off the device (if I am wrong, please correct me). What can I do to customize the stock rom? Is there any way to uninstall rom items such as ClearVue? All this needs to be done using only the pc, wiz, WST and BT. Am I asking for too much? I really would love to be able to re-install Jaguar, but unless a smart cookie here knows a way to do it using those 4 above mentioned items, I think I'll be stuck with the Tmo rom until I can afford to buy the tools needed to properly test/repair my usb port.

So...are there any smart cookies up for a challenge??? :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Wow :eek:, very nice to know that WST works via BT :D. Never thought of that. And being this the case then why not upgrade the ROM to WM6 using WST?

Get an nk.nbf file with the ROM you want, use WST to extract and decrypt the OS.nb file and then write it using the "Write ROM" option.

Post results,plz

I'll be the test dummy, as long as you can save my wiz

I'd be willing to give it a try...if...you will be able to talk me through saving my wiz from the brick-yard if the procedure doesn't work. At this point, I'm 95% willing to try new things on my baby...the 5% doesn't want it dead...I need it until I can get my hands on the Kaiser.:D F*cking Tmo...why can't they just jump on the bandwagon already...I mean crap...At&T has a bunch of cool phones already (their rate plans suck @ss tho)

***EDIT***

Using the Tmo rom, my battery drains really quickly!! Can I disable anything, or tweak something to slow the battery drain...at least until I get brave enough to attempt a rom re-write via WST (per directions above)...ah screw it...I'll re-write the rom tomorrow, and get back to you (besides, you created the WST so you would know best!)...if it works...we may have discovered yet another way to save our Wizards from being pricey paperweights...but for now, I'm off to bed (it's almost 3 a.m. and I gotta have the kids up and dressed and at school before 8 a.m)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
grrrrrrrrrr8 !!!

a very encouraging info.....:D

It wud certainly give hope to many having the problem of Active Sync their devices,ONLY !,if as suggested by dear ol'm8 mestrini,upgrading gets possible,it will solve the dreaded problem of usb connectivity all together ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
I really would like to see this possibility become true :D ... but so far haven't been able to get ActiveSync to detect my Wizard via BT dongle :(

I must keep trying or wait for akashastrega to disclosure her method (or search the forum... lazy boy)

PS:

The Wizard with broken USB i fixed once is back on my hands because the lead got damaged from the outside. I have a new one to solder and this time i WILL take pictures to post here or in a dedicated thread ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
Oh Yeah !

GET THOSE PICS M8........fantastic!!! ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] akashastrega:
Input Please

Well here's the thing to get the BT dongle reading...

in control panel open BT

in the settings there, use the 2nd tab and tick of allow devices to see me

then in first tab, click new devices.

if it reads but won't open, go to the 4th tab (I think) and update both drivers

then in first tab, delete, re-scan for devices

in 3rd tab (I think, going from memory) hit com ports (see what it says)

then open M$ activesync

go to file/connections

enter the ports the BT just told you

then from wizard open activesync

(make sure BT is turned on and can be discovered)

on the bottom of active sync it says settings (I think)

scroll to connect via BT

it should tell you that your pc wants to connect

(make sure you remember the pass you set up on your pc when you were in BT)

enter that password.

if all was done correctly, then activesync from the wiz will initiate activesync on the pc and you will get your connection

As for my being a test dummy. I will first attempt to use the recovery tool to flash my rom onto my miniSD as a backup. If it works, then I will start small, and flash a new radio rom (I may still lose connections, even sync'd via BT and WST, then it's a brick again). If I can keep connectivity and get radio flashed, then I'll report back for thoughts to see if I can do the whole OS...

will re-writing the OS kill BT connectivity half-way through??? As I cannot get ANY sort of usb connection, if I lose BT connectivity, I'm bricked. What are your thoughts on this concern before I make the big leap of faith? I don't mind testing the theory, but don't want to be back at the start of this thread going "F*ck, what now???"

I eagerly await your thoughts and responses. I will attempt the SD flash tonight and if all goes well, I'll attempt the radio flash tonight as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
"F*ck, what now???" :p

Very wise decision I must say,i's better to be on the safe side then as you put "F*ck, what now???" before any experimentation make a back up of the present working Rom on a minisSd/Sdcard in case something goes wrong.

You'll be sync through BT for only making a backup as backup software is installed in your Pc,why wud you loose BT connectivity while backing up,

Well while flashing backup from the Sdcard/miniSd you won't be needing any BT connectivity as I believe, was explained by someone in a post in some thread,I'll try to locate that thread and post and point you out,i hope,or go through the thread where it is discussed how to backup and recover through Sdcard(mtty method),I think you have some answers there ;) Cuz if you use wizback tool to backup and recover,you certainly need connectivity between phone and Pc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
@ akashastrega

Tx for the answer. I had already found it out but i'm at work and can't access Control Panel :mad: I will test later when i get home and will report back.

As for losing connectivity don't be worried because Windows Mobile works from RAM. Meaning that on boot the OS is copied from ROM (DOC chip) to RAM and operates completely from there only accessing the User Area for registry settings and other user info. This also means that when flashing the OS you're only writing the DOC while phone runs from RAM. Problem is if writing doesn't go well you'll only realize after a reboot when the new (maybe screwed) image is copied to RAM

hope it was clear :p

Test dummy awaiting direction from guru's

When trying to flash to radio 2.47 (radio only)::

SPL version is 2.26.0000

DOC chip is write-protected!!

Downgrade SPL to no higher than 1.06 and

repeat procedure.

My phone is cid/sim unlocked, has been for quite some time. I cannot write the radio using WST, I get the above message. I can try to downgrade to the Button, but in the write rom portion of WST it asks what area I want to write. Do I choose just the OS, or do I go down the line and re-write the splash, the spl, the radio, the OS, etc??? I'm willing to give this a go, but would like a little clearer instructions please.

Your test dummy is awaiting your instructions.:D

***E D I T***

Just tried flashing a splash screen only rom, that has always worked for me...got the following message::

ERROR! Cannot proceed.

File size mismatch!!!

Should be 153630 bytes

AGAIN...How should I proceed????

***F I N A L*** E D I T***

I was able to use the WST to change the page pool size via BT/activesync...so the tool does work at least in some capacity via BT. So I will await the advice of you guru's about how to proceed with a rom flash via BT/activesync and WST.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:

Your ever faithful Test Dummy:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Well, i can tell with a large degree of certainty that WST will allow to write OS via BT :D. I say this because Page Pool procedure does write to the OS ROM zone but only a single byte (whereas full OS is 30 something MB)

Regarding the other errors they're absolutely normal because the DOC write-protection issue that affects 2.xx SPL preventing CID unlocking also includes Splash and Radio zone :( sorry
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] akashastrega:
So then when I go to write the rom, under the tab "write rom" there are 6-7 options. Do I just write the OS, or do I need to go down the list and re-write everything item by item? Re-write the spl/ipl, re-write the radio, re-write the splash, re-write the OS, etc???? I am just not sure which option to choose or if I need to choose all options one by one. I will wait to hear back from you.

PS- Should I downgrade to Button again before flashing to a custom WM6, or can I just go ahead with the WM6 flash. I was unsure since it wasn't allowing me to even flash the radio or splash screen onto the stock 2.26 rom
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
As i said above, with SPL 2.xx you can't write CID, RADIO and Splash, only GSMData (IMEI), OS and Ext ROM

Now you must decide what you need. If you want another RADIO then you must downgrade to the Button but there's a catch22 here because you could only do it via USB :p

So i guess your only option now is to flash a WM6 ROM just to get rid of the stock you have now and hate. ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] akashastrega:
Ok, so I have the rom I want to flash...the NTS Jaguar...do I choose...

SPL

CID block

HTC logo Bitmap

GSM calibration data

GSM (radio) code

Splash Screen

OS image

Extended Rom

Do I go down the list one by one or do I just choose OS image. If I choose JUST the OS image, will the entire rom (radio, splash, rom, ext rom, all of the above) be flashed from choosing the OS image in the drop-down screen on the WST
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
As with the cooked ROMs where the RUU only flashes what's inside the nk.bnf same happens with WST. That's why most of the cooked are G4 safe because they don't include bootloader nor the Radio, mostly just OS and splash (but they are different files packed inside the nk.nbf)

What you must do is use WST to extract the chunks from Jaguar's nk.nbf and pick only the OS.nb to flash with WST to the OS zone. Got it? :)

EDIT:

If you do go through with it be sure to apply a hard reset afterwards to clear User Area and avoid mixed registry settings or personal information

Midnight brainstorm??? New theory using WST and BT

Ok, so I was NOT able to flash to my SD...however, in playing some more with the WST, I struck upon a theory I wanted to run past you all...

I read my current rom to a folder and it created an OS.fls file (took almost 20 minutes to do via BT).

IF

I were to flash to a Windows6 file using the write rom feature and the WM6 rom OS.nb, could I use the OS.fls file I created to re-flash to the official Tmo rom at a later date if I needed? Basically, the OS.fls file becoming my backup/boot rescue file???

To clarify...can I use the OS.fls file I just created as a rescue file, much in the same way an SD card boot would work???

If so, then I may have found a big loophole to the usb port not working, yet still being able to flash/customize the Wizard using only a BT Dongle, active-sync, and the WST. And if my theory holds any water, and you guys can verify or deny these thoughts, I'll gladly flash and re-flash my phone to prove this point (and be a good little guinea pig).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] akashastrega:
Ah Shizznits!!!!!

You know that part where I said there could be a possible "OH ****"...got 54% into flashing the new rom and then the active-sync connection died for some reason. I am able to get a bootloader screen, and even get it to pop up a splash screen which gives me and IPL/SPL of 2.26, a GSM of 2.25.11, and an OS of 10.1.0.811...however, as it was only partially flashed, it wont go beyond the splash screen. So...now I cannot get it into BT mode and/or active-sync mode. Can I use the Os.fls from the stock rom, transfer it to a clean SD via pc, then somehow use it to boot???

Help!!!!!

The Test Dummy is not happy, I am back to square one (when I had my wizard running again...but got greedy/curious)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
The worst scenario happened: loosing BT connection :mad:

I guess you're stuck until the USB lead is fixed because the SD image requires a header with values calculated with the device UniqueID

sorry :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] akashastrega:
Mourning the death of my Precious

Well, I think the theory was good...not sure how or why I lost the connection, but it seems that I am back to square 1, and will just have to cough (choke) up the $110 for insurance to send me a new (refurb'd) wizard. Or pay almost as much locally to get the usb replaced (as it is lost now, it fell out).

So...to help others, and summarize...

it IS possible to sync via BT and active-sync

it IS possible using that method to sync with WST

it IS possible using the above 2 methods to change page pool's, cid/sim unlock, read current rom

it is also SEMI-VERIFIED that you can re-write your rom using the above method...however, I am unsure if part of the re-write killed the BT connection, or somehow it just quit, but I managed 54% before death occured.

Using the BT/active-sync connection you can add third party apps to the wizard to customize it further.

Final thoughts, while it has for the most part been proven to work via BT...in all honesty, without a working usb port on the wizard, you're f*cked.

Perhaps our genius developers here can use this to create a work-around so that we can do this without need of the usb port.

To all that have helped me, thank you. Feel free to PM me with any questions about my trials and successes/failures...perhaps I can help you to further develope your wonderful tools that help us out here at xda.

Now, I am off to cry myself to sleep and mourn the death of my precious.:(

PS- Let's still try to get this thread stickied or keep it alive. It may not have worked for me, but I feel we really made some advances, and perhaps it can help someone else who may have a similar issue but with a less traumatized wizard.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] genexxer:
Like to thank you for walking the path

Even though it was beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish tmobile/htc design and the tyranny of broken USB connectors.

You helped me by getting those others advising you when faced with that tri color screen. My problem was much less severe and the solution was to press the power button for about two seconds. Then press it again and it comes back to the splash and the today screen comes up next. I'd thought my mda was a total loss after it took a swim. Now it just turns on the camera when I hit the c on the keyboard(!)

Just uncanny I came on this thread and it concluded just this morning. About an hour ago for the first time I picked the part of the thread dated back in May. Spooky that your acceptance after all that happened to you occurred today.

I too recently had the USB socket break off on another mda. It's closure for me to know its really a longshot to make it operational after that.

Thanks again
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] akashastrega:
UPDATE...

Ok, so I broke down and paid the $110 for a new (refurb'd) MDA. I figured as smashed up, broken down, crapped up as my beloved wizard was, it'd be worth it to get a replacement.

Things I have learned.

The stock Tmo 2.26 rom CAN'T be unlocked via WST, it must be done old school (button, loki, button, stock)...once done, the WST can verify if the unlock was successful. Many things can be done via BT, including many functions of the WST...although, I am still unsure if trying to write the rom via BT/WST was the final cause of death...so for that, I'd be inclined to suggest writing the rom connected via usb/WST.

Another thing I learned, setting up active-sync/BT is a real *****, and often takes a few go 'rounds before it actually works...but once you make the connection, it is a faboo way to save your usb port...and if, like me, you get a cheap desktop charger...

I have now flashed to the TNT pro/HTC home rom...I love the Jaguar rom, but keep having connectivity issues when using pIE...so for now, TNT is a strong second choice.

I want to say thanks to everyone who contributed advice to this thread. Although ultimately, we didn't succeed in saving my damaged phone from death, I feel we really made some awesome breakthroughs that can help others...and had my phone not been so damaged, I am certain it wouldn't have died...so for all you who think you've bricked your phone...think again!!!

Rock on.

If you wanna restock your Indian Honor 5X (kiw-l22) for warranty reasons, etc, this guide should, well, guide you! :D

This method works no matter which recovery or rom you're on. Data is wiped. So backup if you care about your data.

1) Download the following file and extract it.

http://consumer.huawei.com/in/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=76783

2) Copy the dload folder to your phone's external memory card.

3) Shut down your 5X and let it stay like that for 10-20 seconds.

4) Press and hold the volume up and down buttons and press the power button.

5) Let go of the power button once you feel the vibration while keeping the volume buttons pressed.

6) The device should enter Software Upgrade mode and the flashing should start automatically.

7) Let it flash and reboot twice.

8) You'll be back to 100% stock. :highfive:

PS : If anybody is kind enough to mirror the file, I'll be glad to add it to the OP.

Hi,

on KIWI-L22 (Indian)

I had enrolled for beta program previously, so installed b130 and updated to 6.0 MM beta. I didnt like it much, so I switched back to CM 13.0.

As Official MM 6.0 is out now, so I wanted to switch to stock.

Following the procedure mentioned in OP, I downloaded L22-B130 and tried to restore stock but it failed mentioning "wrong version".

then I downloaded the L22-B320 version

http://www.hihonor.com/in/support/details/?DOC_ID=83346

and follow the same procedure. "voila" I returned to stock MM 6.0.

My whole point in saying all this is once upgraded to MM, then you have to use the MM "update.app".
