Flashing with a Mac (in this case a MacBook Pro)

Use your MacBook Pro :)

I've seen this question asked before but I've never seen it answered.

Can you flash a Kaiser with a Mac?

Yes!

There are 3 different ways of running Windows on your Mac, well, 3 popular ways at least....

1. built in Bootcamp (have not tried this method)

2. Parallels (this program DOES NOT work, so I wont even link to it)

3. VMware Fusion (tested and works!) http://www.vmware.com/landing_pages/fusion2_beta.html

Download and install the trial of VMware Fusion and you can setup a virtual Windows XP machine on your mac!

You will need a copy of XP and the code/license.

You can use an actual CD or an ISO

VMware works to flash roms and upgrade radios.

Parallels does not work.

My job gave me a MacBook Pro so I could learn macs and support them at the college I work at.

The college is deciding to buy licenses for Parallels or VMware fusion.

So I had to install and test both of them on my Mac.

I've seen the question asked so I decided, what the heck, lemme try it.

I tried the newest version of both.

Parallels Desktop 3.0

VMware Fusion 2 Beta

Both installations were exactly the same.

XP Pro SP2

All updates

Office 2003 (Word and Outlook only)

All updates

ActiveSync 4.5

Whatever it is about Parallels though, the USB doesn't flow through the way it should and needs to for our phones.

VMware Fusion though works perfect!

And overall, I'm way more impressed with VMware.

The only reason I have not tried BootCamp is because you have to reboot your Mac into BootCamp.

With VMware and Parallels you are running those virtually inside a window on your Mac within your Mac OS.

With both of them you can click Full Screen and it switches you into full screen Windows mode and you'd think you had a PC laptop vs. a Mac.

Oh and for those that are not familiar with these Virtualization programs, you can run many different types of OS's, not just Windows XP.

and you can make as many as you want.

You load up the program and then select with machine you want to load.

It loads up in a windows.

and again, you can have as many different machines as you want with whatever different type of OS you want.

Great way to play, learn and experiment!

Great way to get the best of both worlds. Mac and PC/Windows.

And I have to say.... I've always been a PC/Windows guy.

But damn the new MacBook Pros are nice and since they are Intel based and can do the virtualization, if you have the money, get a Mac, they kick butt :)

very well made.

im impressed.

T-Mobile Vario III (Kaiser) does not unlock.

Does anybody know why I cannot unlock my Dutch T-Mobile Vario III (Kaiser), I have read all the threats but noting seems to work for me. It's either the white screen or the rgb + white screen but nothing happens. Is there a special reason why it's not working here?

Hi. I connected my AT&T tilt to the computer va USB and activesync is green. Ran HardSpl, and my phone said would I like to run the program and I said yes. And then the disclaimer came up and I said continue. Then my screen goes white instead of tri-colored and the USB connection is lost. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thanks.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] evan742:
Okay... so now I've gotten HardSpl installed, and the phone no longer recognizes my SIM card. This has happened to me on two seperate phones it seems. Is there a way to uninstall HardSpl? Or is there some common mistake I am making to cause this to happen? Please help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RizwanKhan:
umm installing hardspl does not stop the phone from recogonizing the sim; hardspl does not cause that.

u can't uninstall hardspl but u can revert to ur original spl. do a search "reverting kaiser to stock spl and rom" should get promising results.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] M5Rahul:
okay, I followed the steps in that link and everything worked out great! Ran the KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the Flash-hardspl.zip and it took about 30 seconds [versus the stated 10 mins on the screen] and got a message that the update/flash has been successful, and the phone rebooted...

Now, do I still have to run Kaiser-HardSPLv1 posted on the first page or is the HARDSPL process finished and I can start installing ANY of the cooked ROMs / OS ??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] M5Rahul:
Nevermind... I checked the Bootloader and looks like I'm good to go!!

For those that wanna confirm if the HardSPL install worked, check it under bootloader [ Press and hold the Camera Button and then, using the stylus, press and the hold the soft reset button... release both the camera and soft reset buttons when you see the Tri-Color aka bootloader screen! ]

Also having a problem. The install went fine but after rebooting I was greeted by several "*** cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

I also get that message when opening any program that didn't ship originally with the phone. Reinstalling the applications doesn't seem to fix the problem.

I searched all threw this thread and didn't find anything. I'll try flashing to the HTC rom later, which was my reason for installing this in the first place, and see if that doesn't fix it.

Trouble Unlocking CID

This is my fourth AT&T Tilt. I have unlocked the CID on all of the others without a problem. This time, a warning screen comes up saying XDA not responsible...... and a button to continue. When I continue, the screen goes all white and not the tri color that I am used to seeing. I have to do a soft reset to get the ppc to get out of this mode. Any suggestions?

Hi. Got the same problem ad I am totally stuck on bootloader. can't get through - have the same data shown on my screen as "I am too stuck in the Tri color screen with KAIS130 SPL-1.81.0000 CPLD-8 USB bootloader screen, in the top right hand side of the screen it has RUUNBH. Cannot get Active Sync to work or recognise Kaiser Tytn 2."

did you fix it ?? HOW ???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RizwanKhan:
you can have bad sector blocks i.e ruunbh that can be cleared using a program called MTTY.EXE. Please search for it in the kaiser forum and make sure you read and follow the instructions to the T; rushing through or overlooking minor details (not that i think any of them are) will render your phone useless.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Hi,

Trying to sim unlock my AT&T Tilt but got stuck when running kaiser-HardSPL.exe. After Accepting the Warnings the Screen on the tilt turns all White and thats it. Anybody Idea's

Ok. I've done everything right

I run SSPL-KAIS on device

then wanted to flash this version

L26_WM_6.1.PRO.V6a

and only now I noticed that mine is WM6.0 - f@#*...

that's probably why... - WHAT DO I DO NOW ??

pls help.

tried to flash other ROMS - no luck - stops at 1% or doesnt even start. I know it's still responsive so there's hope. Have run MTTTY with some commands - don't rem which ones now - sth to do with USB port.

now it;s tri color with the stuff I pasted earlier on.

HELP HELP HELP

NOOB.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RizwanKhan:
okay couple of questions:

when u plug ur phone does it show usb on bottom or serial?

did u flash hardspl before trying to flash a rom?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Leniawu:
1. Yes - it does show USB when the device is on USB and changes into Serial when I unplug it.

2. I don't think I hardlspl before flashing the wrong ROM.

Only used sspl-kais from this site before trying to flash. It stopped at about 17% and that was it.

How bad is it? What's next?

thx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RizwanKhan:
1) okay there is hope

2) yes that is really really bad. I am sorry to say this but if you had done little bit of reading around the site you wouldn't be in this perdicment right now but nonetheless what you need to do is get into bootloader (tricolor screen) and flash your carriers rom. Don't flash any other rom except your carriers... it should clean up everything for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Leniawu:
God bless for the Hope.

carriers ROM ? where do I get it (NOOB)? the device was with Orange

also - by saying clean up -u mean going bk to stock -losing all data - being fully functional tabula rasa?

sorry 4 being ignorant about hardspl - read a bit about it and got confused -acted on impulse.

thx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RizwanKhan:
by saying clean up i mean it will get rid of the errors for you and your device will boot. search around and see if you can find a orange rom; i'll search and let you know if i find anything.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Leniawu:

what do you know about :

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RizwanKhan:
it you have a storage card; format it to fat32 and put the file on storage card. than rename file to kaisimg.nbh and go into bootloader it should start automatically or you can download kaisercustomruu.exe and flash the rom onto your device. as long as it says usb on bottom i don't think it matters if active sync works or not.

Copied the .nbh on the sorage card (8gb) - renamed - restarted.

did than the same but changed the name of .nbh bk to original - no luck - progress bar @ 0% and error 262 - update error...

I'm still desperate for help with the above. (keiser - flash gone wrong - tri color - no hardspl..)

the furthest i went was a "loading..." screen after soft reset when placed 1.81.61.2.WWE.Orange.UK in renamed kaisimg.nbh on a storage card and progress bar that freezes at 0 % when i try to flash from pc.

the device was with irish orange - persume ukk is same - any ideas??? formating - hard reset - any commads in mtty ???

How do I "upgrade" to a newer HardSPL ?

better, what should I do to revet back to a stock ROM ?

Yes, I ahve tried using the FAQ and following the steps there, but it seems that the bootloader is readonly, with HardSPL 1 stuck in there. I flash the OEM bootloader but after reset HardSPL 1 is back there.

What am I missing ?

I am having trouble with my Kaiser (it is stuck in bootloader). I already tried mtty and the commands suggested to no avail. My next try is to revert back to the default bootloader or to change it to 3.56, but as I said, it seems that HardSPL 1 is readonly / stuck in the phone.

Any ideas ?

Tia!

I have found what I was missing. Flashed 3.29, but it didn't solve the problem, unfortunately.
