mskip, great tut. I see you are on orange uk was your tytn orange? I have radio 1.27.14.32 on my orange tytn (sim unlocked, now on 3) asked elsewhere but never had an answer, can I change the radio or just the rom?

Hope you can help would love to have a different rom, but dont want to brick it just in case it doesnt work with this radio.

Thanks in advance :))

Your devotion to the community is legendary. Keep up the great work mate :)

Hey, My phone is an Orange TyTn2. If you updated the Rom then it will most probably flash a new Radio anyway since most of the chefs included a matched radio with the rom to make sure everything works fine. I think the Radio you have is a WM6.0 version anyway so it would need updating if you upgraded your Rom to a new WM6.1 version.

If you need anymore help please ask :)

Thanks, will give it a go this weekend. Will have a read of the procedure for hard/soft spl etc.

Guys (and girls) first let me state that i find the way this thread (and others) runs amazing! Only a few people halping out so many makes me wanna be part of it!

Anyway, i am and remain the ubern00b of flashing. All i flashed was .. well that is another story ;)

I have a Vodafone branded Kaiser and realy anxious to try Hyperdragon as i detest the WM6.1 interface. Tried everything done with cabs and am now ready to take the next step.

What the most difficult part is for me is to determine what my phone is. Which model is it (yeah it is a TYTTN2 i believe) but how to be sure?

Further more i just looked in the bootloader and that says:

KAIS130

SPL-3.28.0000

CPLD-8

What does this info tell me?

Any guidance (before the flashing moments!) are very very very much appreciated!

Baklap
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
KAIS130 means it is a TyTN II - Have a look on the Kaiser Wiki pages for more info on versions.

This guide should work on all versions without problem (maybe some Orange users will have problems, but that's all) :)

Super Dave! Thx.. that offers me some things to grab on to!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] baklap:
Ok enough info in the Wiki indeed! Way cool this stuff. So all i need to do now is gather information on which rom i want. If i state that my main use is Text, Internet and Guidance (as in GPS related programs) and i hate using a stylus, since i drive a lot and need easy access in the car, what would be the perfect rom? I have read most about the Hyperdragon rom is it correct to assume that is a good place to start? :confused:

Hi everyone - I am having a big issue - I installed a ROM and now my phone is stuck at the splash screen so I tried to flash the rom via sd card. When the BootLoader screen appears, it says no image file and then it shows serial? it's not saying saying SPL 1.00.OliNex

Please help!

Thanks!

EDIT: I have Hardspl 3.29 installed
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Most of the Roms are pretty similar looking so its really down to the feel and stability. After you have flashed HardSPL and unlocked your phone I would recommend the following to get you started:

HyperDragonIII 11th Oct build (great stability and no bugs)

Opera 9.5 (fantastic internet browser needed for Manila2D, install to device memory)

HTC EzInput Keyboard (lovely screen keyboard)

Advanced Config v3.3 (lots of settings for every part of your phone)

greenbattery fix (nice percentage battery)

MicroSoft Voice Command (bluetooth voice control, useful for the car)

Windows Live (hotmail, msn messenger)

Throttlelock 0.4 (screen locker with easy finger control)

Should be enough to get you going lol. Good luck with the flashing when you get up the courage to go for it lol :p

If you need help just ask :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Ok what part of the flash did it go wrong at?

When you tried flashing via microSD Card did you rename the rom to KAISIMG.nbh and put it in the root of your storage card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spuri78:
sorry i should have been clearer so here it goes..

I had hyperdragon rom previously and i tried to install a different rom - It installed okay but when my phone booted, it got stuck at the splash screen, no active sync connection - At this point, I tried to flash via sd - I formatted the sd card and put the 2 files onto the card but when i bring up bootloader, it says no image - I have hard spl 3.29

Hope I am clear!

Thanks for your help!

Did anybody told you that you are amazing? Extremely appreciated! Knowing people like you (and other of course) cover my back gives me enough confidence to just do it (sounds like a great slogan :D)

Baklap
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
what 2 files did you put on your phone? when flashing a rom via SD card the only one you need to copy is the .nbh file but you have to rename it first.

If you are getting stuck in the bootloader screen then I would advise flashing cmonex's HardSPL3.29 (follow step3 flashing by microsd card of my guide) which should sort out your bootloader problem.

You can then flash your rom via sd card if you wish (step5 flashing via microsd card of my guide)

please try both those and let me know how it goes

Mark.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
supri: are you actually stuck at the bootloader (tri-colour / red, green, blue) screen, or the Splash Screen?

Ta

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
I think its the splash screen, it happens to me sometimes, the only thing I need to do in these cases is to make a softreset and then it boots fine.

The thing I dont understand is where he got the info to put 2 file in the root of SD card. What 2 files?:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spuri78:
ok this is where i am at the moment, I flashed a ROM (not my first, i have hardspl 3.29 and have flashed several rom's in the past) via active sync - It flashed fine and when my phone booted for the first time, it's stuck at the splash screen - What should I do?

Thanks heaps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Mark: It's not possible to flash Hard SPL from the SD Card on Kaisers. I was up 'til 2am last night chatting with cmonex about it.

Basically, you need load a SoftSPL using JumpSPL and then that should flash the Image from your SD card. However there is a problem with the Soft SPL loading in Windows that stops it from being able to load the image from the Card. (That's why cmonex's KAISDIAG runs when the phone is booted - before Windows starts).

Never mind eh :)

I'll have to re-hard SPL my phone and flash a custom ROM again, currently I have the O2 Stock ROM, Radio, SPL and my CID is the Back to the O2 one. :D

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
KAISDIAG.nbh and KAISIMG.nbh by cmonex.

spuri: please answer my previous question to you, which screen are you stuck at?

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spuri78:
I tried soft reset but it's still getting stuck at the spalsh screen - I hadn't even hard reset/set up my phone
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spuri78:
sorry dave - I'm stuck at splash screen
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
And what about the sd card flashing?

Did u try it? Just put the KAISIMG.nbh to the root of the SD card and put your phone to bootloader.

The KAISIMG.nbh file is the renamed rom file, so just grab the rom u want and rename the file to KAISIMG.nbh
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Enter your bootloader and re-flash the ROM and Radio.

Probably just a bad flash :)

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spuri78:
yes - when i soft reset with my stylus, phone boots up with just the splash screen, shows the rom information after a couple seconds and then it just sits there

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spuri78:
Thanks - but i can't even active sync so how do i reflash the ROM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
For flashing via SD u need to enter the bootloader as Dave suggested, not softreset the phone. When u enter bootloader u can see the 3color screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spuri78:
Man I am so stupid - I thought that in order to flash a ROM there needs to be active sync but when I entered into the boot loader mode, connected my USB (it said USB in boot loader) and ran the KaiserCustom RUU file - duuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - so I am re flashing again - fingers crossed it'd be ok 2nd time - Thanks for all your help guys - You all are amazing

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spuri78:
I appreciate that mskip but I was never flashing a ROM via SD card, it was always via active sync - Sorry if I confused you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
It could be a bad ROM image.

What ROM are you using and what Radio do you have (radio is next to R just after powering on)?

EDIT: BTW I am deleting all the posts from the PDACorver ROM thread to keep it on topic :p

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Try unplugging your phone from the usb and flash it via microSD if you are having problems with activesync flashing it properly but make sure you delete any KAIS***.nbh files sitting on your sd card and start fresh with renaming the file you want to flash and copying it across so u dont get mixed up flashing the wrong file. I would advise flashing cmonex's HardSPL 3.29 first as it may aleviate some of your problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spuri78:
you could be right - I am trying PDA Corner Ultimate V9 and the Radio I have is 1.65.24.36, However, the radio that is recommended is 1.70.19.09 so maybe I should flash the radio first? yeah no worries, please delete my posts at PDACorner
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
You can flash the radio from the bootloader also. So if you flash the ROM, and it won't load, goto the bootloader and flash the Radio.

Also, have you tried re-downloading the ROM and flashing it again?

EDIT:

Mark: did you see #251?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] baklap:
My last question before i get out my spare phone and start rom flashing.

What if in the worst case all goesd wrong and i need to go back to the original bootloader to get the device back to (in my case) Vodafone. I read about how to restore but that all goes from extracting a .cab. The problem is i do not have a .cab i have a .exe ( RUU_Kaiser_VF_NL_3.28.172.2_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25R2_Ship.exe to be exact!) and as far as i know it is a hell of a job to get inside this exe. Any thoughts on that? Just want to be prepared if something goes wrong.

Thx (again)

Baklap
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
I am using 1.65.24.36 with PDA Corner, so its not the radio.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Damn that sucks.. maybe I should put something in the guide about not trying to flash the first HardSPL via microSD then. So what will happen if someone trys to flash a HardSPL via microSD if they dont already have a HardSPL on there device will it merely not stick or could it do more damage?

I wonder about all the people who have tried that method lol

Ohh well thanks for the effort Dave at least you gave it a go. I gave designing a new splash screen for HDIII a go and got flamed off my ass for the effort in the thread haha. Didnt think it was too bad actually but i guess not everyone has the same taste.

Keep up the great work Dave and get that Stock O2 Rom off your phone quick or it might have a seizure haha :p

Ohh btw is it possible to delete the 2nd post on this thread as im running really close to my 1000 character limit and might want to add to it in the future. Thanks mate.

I quite like the O2 ROM, it feels quick :p

The HardSPL SD upgrade will just sit there at Loading if you don't already have Hard SPL IIRC. Just add a note saying that it won't work if you don't already have Hard SPL, this is for upgrading only.

I'll add you a new second post, there is a process I just have to read up on it... :)

I have the same problem, an "incompatible device error". I had to update to 6.1 after I run step 2 in the SIM and CID-Unlock part. Then I installed 6.1 from the link I found here.

The phone works but now I don't know that to do.:confused:

SPL-3.29.HARD

CPLD-8

Any suggestions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
looks like you already have HardSPL on your device so you can proceed to step5 (flashing your rom)

let me know if you still have problems but if you cant do it via activesync then try the microSD Card method.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] octavia:
Even without these steps?

4. Click on Step 3 (Run Unlocker). This will bring up the Unlocker screen on your phone.

5. If you want to check the status of your Sim Lock or CID Lock click the appropriate buttons.

6. Click on Remove Sim Lock and Set CID, then click "Commit Changes".
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
If you have HardSPL on your phone then its CID unlocked. If you want to SIM unlock your phone to be able to use different sim cards in it then follow step4 but if you have no need for that then proceed to step5.

Just wanted to say thanks to mskip for this tutorial. I have been wanting to flash a rom on my tilt for months but ofcourse like many others was worried about bricking my expensive device. I read and read and read here on XDA and never found simple, understandable directions.... until I found this thread. Ofcourse I was still a little nervous but today finally said F*ck it! and did it. I followed the directions to the ''T'' and it worked!! I know have Hyperdragon III on my tilt!

Thanks again!

P.S. to others wanting to flash for the first time... ofcourse now I can say it... It was a piece of cake! :p

feeling stupid.

I was able to follow the instructions to flash my Rom and a new radio.

when I downloaded Hyper dragon it has a .rar extension and appears to be a Zip file. I cannot extract it though. it does contain an Ruu exe file that, when you try to run it, or extract it, it says this is not a valid archive file; or is part of a multi part file.

am I doing something wrong or am I just dumb?

Maybe it didnt download properly. Try downloading the file again. Hyperdragon Roms are packed into .rar format which you can extract with WinRar (google it) and should contain a .exe file and a .nbh file.

only one suggestion though, the file that's on the front page - the link for HardSPL and CID unlocker - i managed to figure out that the unlocker was for wm6.0 only, not 6.1. I obviously managed to find the new one (without pissing anyone off by not searching!).

What do you mean touchflo doesnt work? It works fine with Manila2D.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wjhughes420384:
I think I have most of it working, went though your FAQs.

weather seemed to work when I set the prefered network to GSM instead of GPRS prefered.

I haven't seen 3 G in areas I used to. it mostly shows E

when I connect to the internet it says it is connecting GPRS- 3G but continues to show E on top bar.

touchflo:

first, to make sure I have my definitions right. I am equating touchfLo with the cube. All I bar is a scrollbar across the bottom.

when I go to settings, touched it says I have vcrs 3.0. Build 32567. but when I go to settings on the touchfLo scroll bon it says vers li0.1818.3719

ideas?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Firstly try enabling HSDPA in case you have it in your area.

Goto Start Menu, Settings, Connections, Advanced Network and Enable HSDPA/HSUPA

Then soft reset and if you have HSDPA you will get an "H" at the top

If not then it will just use the fastest speed available.

You can also try flashing a new radio (see the guide) because that will help depending on your location.

The scroll bar at the bottom is a new interface taken from devices like HTC Touch its called Manila2D. Its not similar to Cube in that cube is just basically a 3D box interface with a different application on each side whereas Manila2D is (as it states) 2D and can only be scrolled sideways using the Tabs at the bottom and not up/down, BUT alot more is fitted onto the interface and its alot smoother and easier to use than cube was. I always used to get lost using cube lol. Now TouchFLO is basically the driver behind such interfaces as Manila2D or Cube so dont get the 2 mixed up.

If you dont like Manila2D then you can always flash a Rom without it cooked in and then install cube or HTC Home or whatever you wish. All the latest Roms are using Manila2D but there are plenty of versions without it. Everything is possible at XDA ;)

If you have anymore questions or problems please ask :)
