[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
Excellent, thx for the detailed info.

One more request: Disconnect usb cable and then put your phone in bootloadermode (press and hold camera button and then power on). You will see the tri-color of your current SPL. Now connect usb cable and look up the device name (e.g. "Windows CE USB Devices" -> "Microsoft USB Sync") and device instance path (e.g. USB\VID_xxxx&PID_yyyy\5&36C701F9&0&7).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bigdigtown:
Device shows up as Mobile Devices \ Microsoft USB Sync (using Windows Vista Enterprise)

Device Instance Path: USB\VID_045E&PID_00CE\5&36C701F9&0&7
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] subnet99:
jockyw2001 I haven't had a chance to do any testing.... but it looks like you have gotten the info you need. If not, or I can help please let me know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
Please let me also know if you need additional testing. thx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mfrazzz:
Just curious but does the white screen happen whether you flash from XP or Vista? I'm seeing some of the people reporting WSOD saying Vista. Sorry if this is a tangent, but wondering if there is a connection there (and why some with the same phone code have been able to flash).

I only use XP, and haven't seen the WSOD.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
For me it's XP pro and same on Xp home. (Both had AV and Firewall disabled)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] subnet99:
Also XP Pro for me and I get the WSOD. I have tried from two machines.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mfrazzz:
Ok, that squashed that thought... ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
No problem. I'd try anything at this point. Can't wait to flash a better ROM than the current AT&T Stock rom :eek: . Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jmat:
New AT&T Tilt received today to replace my TyTN... also got the WSOD when trying to put HardSPL on there and a whole lot of nothing out of AT&T support when I tried to get them to explain why "Internet Sharing" is not in their version of the 6.0 ROM -- so I can't tether my Mac to my phone anymore.

Damnit, AT&T. Stop being like Verizon. :(

Part of me wishes I went ahead and bought a fully unlocked Kaiser... but I was able to convince AT&T to sell me the Tilt for $99 because I've never had a subsidized phone through them over five years of contracts.. $99 vs $699. Yeah. I'll fight with the Tilt. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
You can find internet sharing in the windows folder. I've been using it without issues. Create a shortcut of it in the programs folder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vanydotk:
ahh somebody please solve this problem.. I dont' want to use my kaiser until I can flash it with another rom because I know once I start using it and loading my programs onto it a fix will come out and I'll have to wipe everything out to reinstall a new rom!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] centella:
I guess have of xda population we're stock in the white screen problem
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
I'm guessing many if not all of the newer built devices from HTC will have this problem.

Jockyw2001 (Big thanks :D ) will figure it out soon enough, very soon I hope (it would be a nice xmas gift :p I think for all those folks with the issue)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bigdigtown:
Maybe if everyone who came looking for help in this thread would send Jockyw2001 a "Holiday" gift via PayPal for his great effort on this issue, it would be a fair "gift" exchange....;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
Looks like my phone's an oddball. Date Code 061107 (TB02)/US. ROM Date 8/25/07. You can see the versions in my sig. I say oddball because I wanted to check bootloader version before trying HardSPL1, and I can't get to bootload using simultaneous power/camera/reset - the TILT just boots up normally - with no tri-color screen. I must have tried 20 times. Is there another way to get there? :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vanydotk:
I have a 40 dollar bounty to the first person that can solve this problem before Christmas.. or if I can find somebody that will trade me their older kaier + 40 bucks.. whichever comes first.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
I'm thinking lots of effort has been made trying to get HardSPL v.1 working with 1.57.00.00. Some progress has been made, but no solution yet. How about a different approach? Anybody know if it's possible to flashing TILTs with 1.57.00.00 to an earlier TILT ROM that's compatible with HardSPL v.1? If so, folks could then installing HardSPL v.1 and do a second flash to any ROM desired. Ok, I'm a nOOb, flame away.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] subnet99:
If I am reading this correctly..... "power/camera/reset"

It should just be camera/reset. Give that a try and see if it works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
This works for me: (just tried it)

Press Power + Camera button (all the way down) and the reset button
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
I pledge $20 before Christmas.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
Yeh, but there is no official older Tilt ROM. I have already tried a custom tilt rom, but that requires the current non working (D 1.57 version) HardSPL. I might be a noob, but an HardSPL is required for all non carrier specific roms, except if the phone is originally unlocked..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
That is a great Idea :cool: . I'm sending Jockyw2001 a little something now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] subnet99:
ptukhar you are correct. I haven't had my caffeine today.:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
LOL, subnet99. I just finished my second cup...a little :eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
Guys, gifts or no gifts, I want a solution and I'm still working on it.

I hopy X-mas will come early, but I can't give guarantees.

However, I'm sure it won't take forever.

I have reverse engineered that USB voltage is set to 0V and after 2 seconds it is set to 2.85V. The call to "set USB voltage 2.85V" never returns. If I bypass the call to "set USB voltage 0V" then execution is continued and the USB indication pops up on the display. Unfortunately the PC doesn't recognize the USB device, apparently because no vendor and product ID are communicated to the PC (VID_0000 & PID_0000).

Totally weird is that on my "1.56.00.00" Kaiser pof's 0.92 SSPL works and my patched 1.56 SSPL doesn't. The executed code however is close to 100% byte identical!

Okay, that's it for now, must carry on :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
Well, just tried to flash HardSPL v1. It got me to the Tri-color screen where I saw that I was at:

KAIS1*0.MFG

SPL-1.JumpSPL

CPLD-8

Flashing HardSPL v1 worked first time! Bootloader now fires off of power/camera/reset too! Here's the version ifo from the Tri-color screen now:

KAIS*0.MFG

SPL-1.0.01.Pof

CPLD-8

If any info from my phone (ROM dump, whatever) would help you guys, just let me know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vanydotk:
What's the date on your ROM? should be inside settings->device info
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
The ROM date is 08/25/07.

Also as I posted a half dozen posts back or so, the Date Code (under the battery cover) is 061107 (TB02) / US.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SDatl404:
How did you do that? Did you plug the phone in and copy the file to the phone and then run it? Or did you do it through the kitchen?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
I connected normally to my XP Home Edition Notebook PC, using ActiveSync 4.5.0. I did not disable any Firewall or AntiVirus software. I unzipped HAardSPL v1 to a subdirectory off of My Documents on the PC, and ran it from there. From there I just followed instructions (including disabling the screen saver on my PC). Everything ran like clock work. I was actually in denial for a bit, until I found I could power/camera/soft reset to bootloader and see the SPL version. :cool: I'm willing to wait before flashing a new ROM in case there's anything on the existing that might help others.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Petersonz:
Still a locked white screen.

I have a Tilt 8925, with the exact same versions of everything as Jim_R.

XP Professional with SP2, no firewall, AVG Antivirus disabled,

1) I extracted the Zip to c:\hardspl

2) Connected the Tilt to USB and waited for Activesync 4.5.0 to stop spinning and say "connected".

3) Ran the kaiser-hardspl.exe on my desktop.

4) Clicked "Continue" on the Kaiser JumpSPL V1.0 dialog on the Tilt.

5) White Screen of Death Locked up.

No tri colored screen with the JumpSPL indicated. No tri color screen at all. Just plain white.

Is there a step that I missed?

I have also tried everything I could find in the forums. No SIM card, no SD card, etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Imsaffor:
I think I have a newer tilt. Turning on my tilt I see the same D 1.57 as everyone else. But when I manually enter the bootloader, it showed 1.56...

Of course, Trying to get use that as the tri-color screen didn't work... and I get the WSoD as well. I'm assuming it is a newer tilt. Which one is this? If you need any other information, I can try to find it. This is my first PDA phone and I'm eagerly anticipating flashing this device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
I don't see anything that you missed, can't imagine XP Pro verses H.E. would make a difference. Just out of curiosity, what's the Date Code (under the battery cover) on your TILT? I ask because mine has that weird (TB02) I haven't seen anyone post before. Also, I ran the HardSPL v1 found in post #1 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334679

BTW - I just verified that under Settings, USB to PC, I do have 'Enable advanced network functionality' checked. I did not delete or disable any existing ActiveSync partnerships. I did pull the SD card, but left the SIM in place.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
I'm going to give the 'Enable advanced network functionality' setting checked a try.

For whatever reason my AS connection will fail after a few minutes with this set.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] TiltedAz:
Interesting results there Jim_R. I have R 1.27.12.11, G 22.45.88.07W, D 1.57.00.00, and date 6/11/07 with TBO2. I'm tempted to try.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
Why not? The worst that can happen is WSOD that a quick soft reset fixes. The best is that we all learn something;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
The only other piece of advice I can offer is to give the PC a couple minutes after the ActiveSync connection is first dropped. I did notice (sorry I din't write down exactly what I saw) two device drivers load up, I didn't continue until seeing the message on the PC indicating that the device was configured.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
Only difference I see is I have an H at the end of the G version number, where you have a W. I agree with Sleuth, go for it!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Petersonz:
When I take the battery cover off, just to the left of the camera hole and below the GPS antenna jack, there are two lines of numbers:

36H00563-00M

181007(RC01)/US

Does that mean mine is October 18th, 2007 (181007) and RC01 revision?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
Yup, that's how I understand it. In fact, mine reads:

36H00563-00M

DATE:061107(TB02)/US

This of course supports your read of the manufacture date.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Petersonz:
I already tried once at the AT&T store to get a second tilt within my 30 days. Not sure if I can do it a third time without them raising a brow...

I will wait until the devs look into this and watch for a new HardSPL that perhaps fixes the WSoD.

Happy Holidays :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Thomas_Germany_Hamburg:
sorry some mistakes:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Thomas_Germany_Hamburg:
good morning everyone together,

I am happy to see that there are new entries and is looked for after a solution. Since I am not a Tecki, this would like. I want to help and give some more Information, but I need Instraction for a non Tecki, for a stupid Customer to give you more information to help

I test the SSPL 1.56-7 KAIS

1.) With the SPL v1 I have a WITHE Screen,

2.) With the SSPL 1.56-7 KAIS i get the TRI-COLOR screen

but

2a) If I start the SSPL 1.56-7 KAIS on my PDA and did not have any connection to the Active Sync, the screen on PDA come without further information in the TRI-COLOR

2b) If I have a connection to the Activesync, then screen appears to the TRICOLOR, 3 Seconed later

Kais130

SPL - 1.56.0000

CPLD 8

Bigger difference is, this the screen gets briefly black and appears then again on my XP Sp2 on the PDA to the Tricolor, on Vista there is only the first screen, without any "black screen" not happened at sight of this. This effect is repeatable

My Device information

1.27.12.32

Test this and let me know if after un- and replugging USB cable you see a Windows CE ESB Devices category in device manager. Also check if you see the word "USB" on the device display shortly after launching the SSPL.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vanydotk:
unknown device and USB device does not come up on the tricolor screen
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
D*mn, that version runs on my Kaiser :mad:

I only had to patch the call to "set usb voltage 0V" ...

Try the attached version please.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vanydotk:
same, no usb on tricolor and unknown device
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
Ok, short break and time to take a shower :)

I feel we're so close. The .7 version does give you "USB" on display does it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vanydotk:
I believe so, 7 did give the USB on tricolor
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
You could really help this effort if you tried though. Perhaps I can explain the process a bit to you to set your mind at ease. When you load sspl, the so called "WSOD" is simply the program crashing after it is executed. There are (unfortunately) a number of regular winapps out there that do the same thing.

That's why your device has a reset hole that accepts a stylus. Pressing this resets your Tilt and reloads from ROM. The WSOD occurs before anything gets flashed so there's absolutely no risk to your device.

The benefit you can provide the community here is great though because if you do get the jumpSPL tricolor screen then we will be able to narrow down either the specific model that has anti-sspl code or determine whether some other infleuence (like a newer USB device registration that our computers don't recognize & therefore can't initialize) is causing it.

Look, if you don't want to risk your Tilt, then press the reset button even if you get the Tri-color jumpSSL screen. Just tell us which you saw.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bigdigtown:
7, 8 & 9 all show 0000 for VID and PID in device instance path (unknown device).

7 is the only one that shows USB on tri-color.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
Okay, I'm preparing new patched SSPLs now.

They will be based on versions 0.92 (pof's sspl), 0.93, 1.50 (pof's hard-SPL) and 1.56-7

Did we ever have tri-color with 0.92 and 0.93?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dunzo:
How do, all. Fantastic work you're doing here.

I got my AT&T Tilt from Amazon on Friday, and have been getting up to speed slowly but surely, by reading through these threads.

Just wanted to let you all know that I was able to install HardSPL without incident this AM, on my first try.

Under the battery cover I've got:

-36H00563-00M

-181007(RC01)/US

Here's some other data points, not sure if these matter:

- I installed HardSPL from thinkpad running vista business

- I'm running the standard AT&T ROM, but I did NOT let the AT&T bloatware install when I first powered up my device

- I installed HardSPL without removing either my SIM or my MicroSD card.

We'll see if I can get my courage up to install a new ROM next.

If holding on that and leaving my phone in its current state is useful, then I'm happy to wait a couple of hours before flashing the a new ROM.

JD
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
next try, please report asap, because I have to leave for a day in about one hour
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lifesaflaw123:
I did that too dunzo and it didn't work for me. same info as your phone btw
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lifesaflaw123:
stops at at tricolor screen but with usb on the screen. good progress though
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ptukhar:
Good news. I get a re-connect and a recognized device!...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
Ok finally :)

I will code a real SSPL out of this one, but I don't know if I can do that in the next half hour. You might have to wait about 20 hours.

Connect with MTTY (don't forget to uncheck "allow usb connections").

Type the command ResetDevice (case sensitive!)

Best is to use MTTY 1.42 (search)

Can others also confirm please?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lifesaflaw123:
if you remove the usb from the phone however it still registers as charging and connected. I don't know what that means necessarily but im just pointing it out
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pdtp:
ok so i tried v10 and here are my results:

it goes to the tri color screen, after a few sec all it shows is a usb conection no spl info at the top, if you count to 10 unplug the phone and plug it back in xp see's it as a Windos CE USB device. i then loaded tried to load the rom from the SPL v1 it went threw the steps of changing the screen to the progress bar stayed there for about 30 sec then i got error message "Error [262] : update error" comunication error.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
This version is totally stripped, no information is shown.

All the security checks are still in place, noy bypassed yet.

Next I need to know if you can connect with MTTY.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] MikeLim:
Not working for me

lifesaflaw123,

Could you let me know exactly the steps required to test the latest test file? I recently bought an HTC A4550 in Taiwan. The particulars are listed below:

R 1.27.15.32

G 22.51.88.13H

D 1.82.00.00

36H00564-00M

181007 (RC01)/EU

I find it unusual that the unit I got from my local Telco, Chunghwa Telecom, would be marked as an EU (European Union?) model. It is currently loaded with Traditional Chinese and I need to get to an English ROM.

Anyway, please let me know what I need to do because I'd like to provide feedback to jockyw2001 on this since I've seen a few people post that they also had models with D 1.82.00.00 but I've not seen this specifically addressed.

Michael
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
I can confirm this happens. I will continue tomorrow.

I would like to hear if you can connect with MTTY.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lifesaflaw123:
Mike,

Just download the latest test file, unzip it, and place it somewhere on your phone, whether it be on an sd card or the device itself, then run it. You should see what I'm talking about. however your phone has a few differences from mine. let me know
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SDatl404:
The lastest version works for me. I connect device, run sspl, shows usb, unplug device, plug in device, it show microsoft usb sync in device manager, I run mtty 1.42 and type "task 8" and my device resets.

Hope this helps.

BTW I did this two times in a row.

SSPL 10 works for me as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vanydotk:
if mtty runs that means we're pretty close, right? somebody is about to earn a 40 dollar bounty if this works!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lifesaflaw123:
by saying that it works for you do you mean that your able to unlock it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Imsaffor:
SSPL 10 goes into the tri-color screen for me as well. When I try to work with the current HardSPL using this file nstead of the included. I get to the progress bar and also error out at that point.

Im glad to see this all coming together. Good work!

White Screen On 4 Phones Solved

I'LL MAKE QUICK SHORT AND SIMPLE

I HATE READING DIRECTIONS

USE 1 TWEAK BEFORE YOU USE THE master pofs tool kaiser-HardSPLv1

i used moloski reg and performance 2 cabs

hit the device with kaiser tool all the way through windows xp pro

the screen goes white then tri color

finish the whole tool

I have a box of kaisers and got the white screen and backed off a bit lazy thats all today re-fired all my phones they are good to goi recieved these phones from att 4 days ago.

The trick is to make sure you get the oem permission out of the reg.

patience and a few computer restarts your good all devices tesed are less than a week old.

If some one can post the moloski reg tweak your good i guarantee it

just wait connect active sync and then follow the cmd promt all the way through hitting enter 2 times before you invoke the device.

its not like the titan unl:cool:ocker or anything else the kaiser must be played through all the way no short cuts
