I Need Help....

Hello my friends i did the hardspl and everything went well but my question is that why the wm6 became again like before i mean is not liberated again do i have to liberated from the begining again??? because now i cant connect to vista like before with the usb tool....so please tell me.......:confused:
[Shift General] gemito138:
Many thanks...
[Shift General] cmonex:
yes it performs a hard reset.

don't despair, soon you can flash liberated rom :) and then you can forget about how to do manual liberation
[Shift General] tece:
Hello and thanks for SSPL & HardSPL!!

I'm wondering how to build these custom ROMs..?

Are you dumping the ROM from TytnII/Kaiser and edit until the ROM is small enough? Is any Software out there to edit the Filesystem from dumped ROMs?

Many weeks ago i've heard about a ROM that supports GPS - why didn't you release it with the bundle? Any Bugs?
[Shift General] cmonex:
no, not using a kaiser ROM. but you can dump the ROM from Shift in the same way as Kaiser, I think pof also posted about this before. also we have some HTC rom updates, will try to upload them to crapidshare or something soon.

the current rom base with the GPS has an issue so we are porting the GPS to a newer rom base then release that.

as for rom editor tools, a kaiser kitchen with the rom base changed to a shift rom, will work. i.e. the rom tools from kaiser kitchen are compatible.
[Shift General] feyisetan:
Shift display has gone blank

Hi help is needed here, I followed installation instruction and obtained USB\ROOT_HUB\4&188A10ED&0 disabled. I've now got shift working, will try again. Thanks.
[Shift General] Traumrakel:
Wow, good work!

Are there already any custom Shift ROMs out there..?
[Shift General] cmonex:
try after removing battery, and with freshly booted vista and snapvue.

make sure the WMDC is running with USB enabled in it. that seems to help.

if nothing else helps, then when you get to that disabled message, and it doesn't move after maybe 2 minutes, Ctrl+C, etc., then hibernate vista etc. (as described above).

EDIT: ah I see you added: problem solved. what was the exact way to solve it?
[Shift General] mruhavi:
very very thanks
[Shift General] cmonex:
three things :)

1. OK I see too many people have an issue with step 5 - I will release a more manual (but still easy to use) sspl program that will fix it for these people

2. new hardspl coming and new sspl loader coming - update will be recommended but not required of course

3. CDMA hardspl package coming (finally got the sspl issues troubleshooted)
[Shift General] koala996:
hey cmonex .. thanks for the work ! what will be new in this 2 hardspl and sspl ? I m free to test both if you want :)
[Shift General] hungwood:
Im wait it for along times :(:(
[Shift General] hungwood:
when new HardsPl comming ? i waiting it for along time!!!! :(:(
[Shift General] beeahead:
<<just got my hands on the Shift recently, this'd definitely be helpful. Thank you so much for the hard works!
[Shift General] tirano:
Hi,

Another one with the

USB\ROOT_HUB\4&188A10ED&0 : Disabled

issue, any solution for this? any ideas?

Thanks:confused:
[Shift General] cmonex:
sorry to everyone, real life had priority for a while... :) (you can see I was absent from entire XDA - I 'm back now though)

it's done just needs a few tests before release
[Shift General] cmonex:
solution will come in couple days (manual-run new SSPL.exe will help with these issues, because then you can easily just reboot vista between two special steps, then go on without having to play with the usb root hubs)

until then you can try the workarounds posted in this thread
[Shift General] koala996:
I'm here for test if you want :) good news coming soon then ! ahah great. thank you for your work.
[Shift General] liupengcheng:
Thanks you and all others in Shift Project
[Shift General] Bradaland:
Great work- Thanks!

Thanks for this guide and all the work that went into the tool!

I too had the USB disabled error (BTW- I did all the Windows updates on my Vista, and that could be partially the reason why I never got the whole way through) and after a whole day of "trying" I broke down and did a Fn+F3 reset and did the Flash from there.

After the factory image (about 30 mins on my device...and I did not do any Windows updates) It took me less than 10 minutes to do this whole routine

(Set up an email account + Liberate + HARDSPL + Liberate again)

I struggled all day trying to get the USB tool and HARDSPL to go through and it was as simple as using the factory image.

The tool is so easy to use!

For any newcomers, if the tool is taking longer than you think, then consider factory reset and start there, you will save time and hair!

now I'm onto flashing my first ROM...

Thanks!

[Shift General] mullmuzzler:
Having trouble with Windows 7

Please advice on how to install. I can do steps 1 and 2.

2. Install the EnableRapi.cab file from the zip on Snapvue side. This is done.

3. Make sure Shift is on AC adapter and that the WMDC in Vista sees the Snapvue side!!! (I cannot find WMDC in Windows 7 at all.) If I run the ROM update after that it shows me "Error [206]: Connection. Please restart windows and run the SnapVUE Software Update Utility again. Click 'Exit' to quit'.

Your prompt assistance and step by step help will be deeply appreciated.
[Shift General] mullmuzzler:
Desperately in need of help

Dear All,

I'm desperately seeking a solution. In Windows 7, I can't find WMDC. When I run the ShiftHardSPLFinal, it says pput.exe - System Error: The program can't start because RAPI.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Please help!!

Stupid Question

Interesting ... I have Russian version of vista / snapvue so I upgrade it and use Vistalizator to change language to English. Now I'm trying to install usbtool on spanvue / hardspl / but I can't install this cab inside of Snapvue .... I can't connect vista in any way to spanvue interface ... So how exactly to execute point 2 ?

Best Regards,

Georgi

i stuck with usb disabled during hardspl.....pls help
[Shift General] ThePinkUn:
Phone does not launch

Went through the process...

HardSPL, Radio, ROM re-liberation and installed the phone but the phone does not launch.

Any ideas?

Ignore went through the process again.. Think I forgot EnableRAPI
[Shift General] DalvuS:
ThePinkUn there's no need of re-liberation again, after you HardSPL there's a USB Tool in "HTC Debug Tools", instead of ROM re-liberation you may try flashing with a Custom RUU from the ones around here.

Can you guys pm me about the original SnapVue ROM, because stupid me rushed to liberate and all those things and lost the idea of backing up - I want the original SnapVue ROM, I am from Romania, there was the english version installed, I wouldn't want other way, english is my main computing language.

I would like very very much, and I things not only me, that a original last version of Windows Mobile Pro version should be uploaded,6.1 or 6.5 better, not remove anything from it, leave it as it is, only do the phone hack to work, I would really really apreciate this :D

[Shift General] edenc:
It shouldn't get stuck, but it did.

Hiya just aquired a Shift and am attempting the Hardspl. In your concise instructions you say that DEVCON.EXE shouldn't get stuck disabling USB\ROOT_HUB\4&188a10ED&0. It says 'disabled' and has hung. Any pointers?

I am running the upgrade utility direct from an SD card...could this be the problem?

Edit - Have now stpped panicking and read the posts! Disabled advanced networking in USB comms, snapvu side and all okay.

Thanks as always.

Can't HARDSPL

I followed all the instructions and liberated my shift. USBTool works fine, WMDC installed on windows 7 part, all ready to be SPL'd. I download the tool from the post and install the .cab file on the SnapVUE side. I run the .exe file and the program worked fine, no usb disable problems, nothing. The snapvue side went black and came back on and then everything is back to the old SnapVUE without liberation... no usb tool, nothing anymore. I want to flash a ROM, but does this mean i have to reliberate??? and if I reliberate, will this mean I will have to redo the HardSPL?? PLease help, I use the SnapVue side a lot!!

Thank you!

Can you help me?

[Shift General] mariosordo:
Dear friend,

when I encountered this problem I had no chance, unfortunately, to see these instructions, and so I didn't use the hybernate trick but continued with the RUU which resulted in error 260 (usb connection lost, I suppose) and finally I made the vista shut down. Now It happens that I would repeat the whole process from the very beginning, but unfortunately the USB TOOL seems not work anymore: I select "attach to vista" option but nothing happens, and the two systems WM and WV are not connected. I tried more and more times, always with the same negative result: wv is not able to hook up wm and viceversa.

Please, help me, I really would like to make this wonderful hardspl and move on... :(

un saluto a tutti!!!

ho comperato usato uno shift e ho sbloccato windows mobile 6.1 con tutti i menu ed il collegamento "usb tools" tra windows 7 e snapvue ed tutto OK . Messo su opera e skype tutto OK. Leggendo in giro ho preso la decisione di caricare una nuova ROM che sbloccasse il telefono iterno e il gps la snapVue ed ecco i problemi:

* lancio il file ShiftHardSPLFinal.exe come amministratore

* qaundo compare una finestra Processing controllate che il lato snapvue sia

blackscreen

* premete ok

* Romupdateutility parte automaticamenteconsento tutto come sempre.

Però a me appare l'errore una finestro con ERROR [260] connection.

e quindi mi tocca ,spegnere vista,staccare la batt e rifare tutto daccapo,ma cn lo stesso risultato...

Aggiungo che ho messu su windows 7 al posto di vista.

un aiuto da qualcuno che ha già fatto l'operazione..... dove sbaglio????

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

I bought a used shift and I unlocked Windows Mobile 6.1 with all the menus and the connection "usb tools" between Windows 7 and SnapVUE and everything OK. Put on skype and everything works OK. Reading around I decided to upload a new ROM to unlock the phone and GPS iterno the SnapVUE and here are the problems:

* Launch the file as administrator ShiftHardSPLFinal.exe

* Processing controlled qaundo a window appears that the side is SnapVUE

blackscreen

* Press ok

* Romupdateutility part automaticamenteconsento business as usual.

But to me it appears a window with the error ERROR [260] connection.

and then I have to turn off view, disconnect the batt and do it all over again, but cn the same result ...

Add that I Messu Windows 7 instead of sight.

sprint cdma

I would like to thank all the people who have taken the time to do all the hard work in liberating the htc shift righting the custom rom’s and the hardest part putting in terms

That even newbie’s can understand,,,,,,,

After reading a ton of threads on the shift I believed I could with a lil work and time

I could get the {phone,voice} working and that was the only thing I cared about on the windows mobile side of shift so I bought one then spent the two weeks beating my head against the wall trying to find out how come its not working on mine

I could be wrong but I think I know why

After reading this one post for the 20th time it hit me

Its because its on the cdma network

Now if you look this thread

forum.xda-developers com/showthread.php?t=486234

you’ll see that this rom is for GSM,EDGE,HSDPA only, not for CDMA

now I know you have to hardspl first befor you flash your rom

I believe the hardspl found here forum.xda-developers com/showthread.php?t=406606 is for GSM,EDGE,HSDPA only, not for CDMA

i really need to get this thing working if anyone can help I am willing to pay you for your time

my phone number is 203-621-8510 I do screen my calls so leave a message and I will call you right back you can call 24-7 and my email joe.comello@gmail com thanks

[Shift General] QuickDK:
Hey guys!

Thanks for the great guide, cmonex, though I'm encountering the same problem as above. It goes form 0 % to 100 % in about 10 seconds, and I still have the same ROM version as before. I would really like to change the ROM, as it has the extremely annoying sound problem. Sometimes it gives that constant high pitch sound, though most of the time it's not working at all. I would really appreciate if you guys could help me out on this one! Has it got something to do with my current ROM version or is it maybe a bug in the final HardSPL package? Could someone maybe upload the old package, so I could give that one a try?

The current ROM version is 1.30.453.0

Thanks!

Best regards

Andreas

EDIT: Feeling stupid as Hell.. I bought the unit second hand with the updated ROM, so I didn't think about that it already had been HARDSPLed which off course was the reason for it to flash the rom that quickly.

So sorry for the inconvenience! :o

error on devcon.exe

I read through the thread, tried restarting. When it tries to run devcon.exe it says:

USB\ROOT_HUB\4&188A10ED&0 : Disabled

I then hit Ctrl + C until it tried to use Snapvue Software Update Utility, then I placed it into hibernation. Resumed it and tried the utility. It presented:

ERROR [260] CONNECTION

edit:

I used a different exe to enter bootloader and it passed the first error, but upon the Snapvue Software Update it generated:

ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

The command buttons are blanked out. The first brings me to a nonexistant doc file, the other brings me to a page without an image, but a white square. All pages after this have no markings Aside from one that has a tri-color background and a white bottom as an image and it says next.

edit:

I fixed it, I kept at it and eventually it went through. I reset the device a few more times and repeated the process listed in first post
[Shift General] waldomar:
usbtool doesn't work

I liberated the HTC shift ; the soft reset and usbtool worked.

After the hardsplfinal the usbtool doesn't work annymore now

no attach between snapvue and WMDC on the Vista site.

How can I get the usbtool working again?

Kind regards

waldy

edit: problem solved:

uninstall the usb devices and then start Vista again.

Vista will install the usb devices and wmdc makes contact;
[Shift General] mirfaisal:
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download the package from attachment in this post and extract the files from the zip somewhere on Vista.

2. Install the EnableRapi.cab file from the zip on Snapvue side. (of course do unzip in Vista first.)

3. Make sure Shift is on AC adapter and that the WMDC in Vista sees the Snapvue side!!! (use usbtool to turn USB on in Snapvue if necessary.)

4. Run the ShiftHardSPLFinal.exe on Vista. if you do not have UAC disabled, then please run it as Administrator!!!

5. It should pop up two cmd windows for a second. then it will pop up a box saying "Processing". at this point please check if Snapvue side went into black screen. if yes, then everything is OK so far, so press OK in the "Processing" messagebox.

6. After some more wait (and two more cmd windows - please allow them to run if Vista asks!), the Romupdateutility will launch automatically. Please press Next and so on, until it flashes the update.

7. The RUU should say success, and should hard reset the device. at this point your Shift has been HardSPL'ed - Congratulations!!!

at step 4 my shift hangs with message

USB\ROOT_HUB\4&188A10ED&0 : disabled

what to do now
[Shift General] feriyanto:
any update for HardSPL for CDMA shift X9000 ? anyone?
[Shift General] lestat_bishop:
Hello,

I apologize now because my English is horrible. If there is someone who post in Spanish or Portuguese would be grateful.

I have an HTC Shift and wanted to install a custom rom on it in order to usufluir telephony and GPS.

I tried to follow the procedure related to HardSPL but I view the error: "USB \ ROOT_HUB \ 4 & 0 & 188A10ED Disabled."

I followed all the steps and when the window for the ShiftHardSPLFinal opens and I click the OK button the screen goes black and SnapVUE ™ no longer returns.

When the screen is open devcon.exe apparently she can not communicate with the SnapVUE ™ and the error is displayed.

Make Ctrl + C in both windows and then tried to proceed with the installation, but in the end it gives a connection error in Romupdateutility. I tried putting Vista to hibernate, but the error remains displayed.

I would like to help you to solve this problem.

As the tutorial is old, there is a newer procedure that involves Windows 7 or I will have to first install the custom rom and then update your windows?

Thanks in advance.
[Shift General] Hakim Rahman:
You do not need to update windows, you only need to install WMDC 6.1 that can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14

SnapVue Hybernation disabling ?

I did it in my X9501 and worked without any problems.

I feel a bit lucky though, because I should have disabled Hibernation in Snap Vue (before running the program in Win 7)

but when I got this warning, it was not possible to disable it...

As I said, I was lucky it did not enter hybernation ....

so also have in mind to disable it before starting the process...
[Shift General] feyisetan:
Yeah, I said problem solved only because I'm now able to restart shift, but still unable to instal HardSPL, but not giving up yet. Do I need to hard reset shift (Fn F3) before this process?
[Shift General] cmonex:
no need for Fn/F3.

tried either the battery removal or the hibernate trick yet?
