Hi Mike (et all)

I have an O2 XDA Stella, ROM version 1.82.206.1 WWE

I think I'm having exactly the same problems with this process as you. After I remove and re-plug the USB cable, the screen stays exactly the same (tri-color, with 'USB' text at the bottom) and ActiveSync does not reconnect (it's like the phone is just stuck). I can soft-reset the device, but when I press Camera+Reset I see the tri-color screen with: KAIS130 / SPL-1.82.0000 / CPLD-8. I assume this means the above definitely didn't work.

I guess since I also have a 1.82 device, there is currently no way I can flash custom ROMs.

Did you ever solve this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] greggerca:
When you plug the device back into the USB cable, does Windows install a Microsoft USB Sync driver?

In the tri-color state, there is nothing ActiveSync can do with your phone. However, Windows should show you that a USB device is attached (if you look in the system tray) and if you poke around it should say something about a USB Sync device.

I never got my Tilt successfully unlocked, but at least I got it to boot up into a new AT&T ROM, so I think I'll stick with that a while...

I don't remember what my SPL is now, but the ROM I'm using is 1.61.502.2. I had a 1.57 device and had the issue of the White Screen of Death in this thread, so I don't really know what that means...

TTFN
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] japher:
After running JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, the USB text appears however I think the phone is locked up. When I remove and replug the USB cable, the screen doesn't change at all. So, even when I remove the USB cable, the text 'USB' remains at the bottom of the screen and the green light on the device remains on (as if it's still charging, even though I've removed the cable).

Basically, I think JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe is hanging at the tri-color screen, rather than allowing flashing to occur.

I tried a hard reset, which reading the above posts seemed to get MikeLim past this stage, however it made no difference. The behaviour stays exactly the same.

Any Progress?

Hi all

Just wanted to see if there was still anybody working on this issue. I found out a couple of days ago that I had a dreaded 1.82.000 O2 XDA Stellar & I can't install a custom rom after hours of trawling for a solution.

I've been checking this thread for the last 3 days but there have been no more posts until this one. This seems like a good place to hear any breaking news on this, but if anyone knows of a solution in some other thread please let me know.

Not being able to use a custom rom is driving me up the wall! There are so many nice ones out there I want to get my hands on, but my phone just wont have it!

It was never this hard with my Artemis - one CID unlocker for all devices, and then flash your rom. Why do things have to get more complicated? :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] fleety:
Hey all, any progress on this issue. I also get stuck at the tri-color screen, and nothing will get past it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mitobsas:
Is anybody there to update us on the 1.82 ROM?

My problem is in some way slightly different form others, because I search all over the week through this forum, as my new Tytn II is not being able to find networks (so phone is useless) and HTC support discovered that in 1.82 there is not provision to disable the autoconfiguraton feature, that were in past models. As you can imagine they have not solutions to these unlocked units sold through Amazon but users open the box in any country they live. So looking for a complete ROM flash was a big issue for us in this situation. But we are here at a point that we cannot make the procedure work for 1.82 ROMS, with very similar results after the 3colour screen. Hope somebody can tell us if this thread came to an end or if there is some hope to solve this. Mito

i have searched all over the world but no solution for this so far. where all the genius people are gone :D

Try SSPL 1.93
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] alexod:
After running JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe or JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe or sspl-1.16-test-on-kaiser.zip , the USB text appears. When I remove and replug the USB cable, the screen doesn't change at all. So, even when I remove the USB cable, the text 'USB' remains at the bottom of the screen.

unplug and replug the usb cable

deselect "Allow USB connections" in Activesync connection settings

Nothing changed.

What to do after this? I even cann't use power off button, just can do hard reset or soft reset.

So what to do after this?

Am i need to do this? "

Or i'm doing something wrong

The text on the screen is

Kais1*0

SPL-1.93.Jump

CPLD-8
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] :
i cannot get past the wsod,i have tried the 3 spl files in the original thread and now this 1.16 one and still wsod.

Can somebody tell me where i am going wrong??

i copy the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to the device, then on the device i navigate to that file and run the exe, then wsod.

as i said i have tried this with all 4 versions and still no joy.

i have displayed on the splash screen

R 1.27.14.32

G 22.45.88.07H

D 1.81.00.00

its possible to disable the close/minimize/max button on the windows, and to lock said window position?

im doing a simple kiosk computer that displays a form for users to fill and then the app promps to take a foto using the kiosk webcam.

the thing is, the app cannot be fulllscreen because on fullscreen the camera button doesnt appear, (as the camera window then fills the entire screen), so a workaround is displaying the app in window mode, but for practical reason i need the close buttons disabled and the window locked on its position.

Hi I'm wanting to unlock my Kenzo but unfortunately New Zealand is not listed on the Miui unlock site around this? I really want to install an aosp ROM.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] kimxk:
It's been so long since I unlocked my kenzo, but I don't remember it asking me for a region. I'm in NZ too.

From memory, I followed this page:

xiaomitips.com/download/mi-flash-unlock-tool

I set my phone number to the full +642xxxxxxxxxx.

The main difficulty for me was that even though I got permission, I had to flash the global development ROM version, as the global stable ROM got the 50% verification problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] skeamznz:
Hi thanks for your reply, on the unlock site it does not list nz and it needs to send an sms verification code.

i have a friend in aussie who let me use there number, i have been given acceptance to unlock but not i get stuck at 50% cannot verify device, what steps do i need to take to get past this error?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] yogesh1970:
To fix 50 % stuck or verification problem. First flash global beta or dev rom via miflash tool in edl mode than umlock with mi flash tool. Or wait for 4 - 5 days after unlock code acceptance if u tried to unlock on reinstalled stable rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] adizz4:
It takes a week or two until it lets you unlock after getting permission. Also you need to be on developer ROM AFAIK to unlock.

There are several guides on unofficial unlocking, you should give it a try in case you are impatient.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] kimxk:
Correct, you have to have the development ROM, and wait a week after getting approval.

Apparently it takes that long to get to their servers.

If you try to use the updater app on MIUI to flash a developer ROM when you have the global ROM, it will tell you that it can't verify the update.

Most people will tell you to use edl mode to flash developer ROM, which will work.

I solved this on my phone ; I managed to use the inbuilt updater to successfully flash global developer 6.8.18, and from there unlock.

No other version would flash.
