[Touch Cruise ROM Development] donchischotte:
HELP!!!!!

Hi everybody,

please find a solution for resuscitating my cruise!

I bought it in the US, it was unbranded and SIM unlocked (and it seemed brand new). Everything was find till the official 6.1 update come out. I decided to make the update but could not download anyone. I guess my cruise is from singapore, hong kong or similar because I found a navigator software with maps of those countries in the box.

So I downloaded the official roms (WWE and ITA) from a direct link, but could not flash any of them because I got the error message "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID"

Finally I decided to use the HARD-SPL to unlock the device, but something went wrong (I could not tell what) and now my device is stuck in bootloader mode!:(

On the screen I read:

-------------

RUUNBH

POLA100

SPL-1.28.0000

CPDL-2

--------------

Here is what I do and what happens when I try to use HARD-SPL V2:

1) I connect the USB cable and the writing on the device changes from "serial" to "USB"

2) I run romupdateutility

3) I check "I understand..." + next

4) I check "I completed..." + next

5) on the PC a message "verifying the information on your PDA phone, please wait" appears and after a while the device switches to a screen with a progress bar at 0%, while on the PC the following message appears:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Current information about your PDA phone:

Image version:

Select from below:

UPDATE Update the current ROM version

--------------------------------------------------------------

6) I click UPDATE and the following appears:

------------------------------------------------------------------

Verify that you want to update the ROM version:

From:

Image version:

To:

Image version: OliNex-2.20

------------------------------------------------------------------

7) I press "next" twice and I get the message "updating the ROM image on your PDA phone", but the progress bar is stuck at 0% and after a minute or so i get the ERROR[262] : UPDATE ERROR

I tried usinr both Vista and XP, with or without MicroSD and SIM card. It's always the same.

I tried flashing different SPLs (even the two original ones) with the same problem. If I try to flash a ROM I get the ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID"

after 1% progress.

Finally I tried to use MTTY, with no success. Here is the log:

----------------------------------------------------

I really don't understand the "DEVICE NAME=samsung_k9k2g08" and I'm worried about the bad blocks.

I hope I won't have to use my cruise as a paperweight!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!
