Flashing new ROM error

Hi,

Thank you all for a great site and all the help!

I would like to flash a custom ROM to my TYTNII and have followed the steps as put down in the "Flashing your first ROM (for Noobs)" thread.

I have done everything successfully but get the following errors when I try to do the "4. SIM and CID-Unlock" procedure. Please see attachment for images.

Any help would be appreciated as I dont know how to cary on.

Thanks guys!!!

Please don't create a new thread when there is already two viable threads to post in.

Do you have a WM6.1 ROM, check in Settings, System, About? If not, flash a WM6.1 ROM and try again.

RE: Flashing new ROM error

Sorry about that!

Yes I have a WM6.1 ROM. The default one thats available off the HTC club site.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the help!

I dunno then...

What is your device model?

Model

I have used the clear storage tool under settings to restore to factory defaults. I would like to try again with a clean setup. Must I start at step one again in the "Flashing your First Rom (For Noobs)" doc or can I carry on and start with step 4?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Step 4 is fine.

If you don't need SIM un-lock, then skip that step.

Also, there are methods by jockyw2001 for SIM unlocking. You could try those if all else fails.

If you managed to flash HardSPL correctly (please double check by entering Bootloader and reading the 2nd line) then flash your desired Rom and then re-try the CID/Sim Unlock. The Sim unlock can be done at any time you just need to reflash your desired Radio after its finished.

T-Mobile - Mda Vario III (macedonia)

Hi, i dont know if i am on right thread, but still..

I have T-mobile Mda vario III , bought from T-mobile Macedonia.

I want to change my software, i read all sticky's here (Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer, Flashing your First Rom (For Noobs) , and before i proceed to flash i have some quastion.

Do i have to unlock it first, or i can flash it direct with some ROM from this forum with "Flashing your First Rom "can someone explain me the procedure briefly?

i mean i can direct do it from sticky "Flashing your First Rom ", the 1-4 steps, and then ican choose ROM and flash it?

Can You Help me please?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Firstly, I've merged your thread with this one. Posting new threads is discouraged if there is an existing open discussion.

Secondly, Welcome. :D

Now to business, you must unlock your phone before flashing; just follow this guide by mskip and after step 4, flash any ROM you like.:):)

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Shaitan69:
This is probably a stupid question but will flashing the rom or unlocking the cid cause me to loose connection to my wireless carrier or force me to configure any settings before I am able to connect back to the wireless service? Thank you in advance.

SDcard flashing?!

Hi folks,

I know I'm just a nub 'wanna be' (since I'm still to lay hands on my own Kaiser...).

Point is: I do use to flash ROMs on my Trinity directly from the SDcard.

I searched the forum and did not find mention to this method.:eek:

Did I 'botch my search' or is it not a possibility on the Kaiser (SD card flashing)?

What is the image name needed? KAISIMG.nbh? (on Trinity is TRINIMG.nbh:cool:)

THXs:D

>>> Addition:

Sorry to put it here, but since I got a little slow to post thes comments - and they do matter - I chose to place them here (the last pages are not treating this issue anymore...)

Still on the subject, SD Flashing do require, as stated, prefereably a HARD-SPL ROM. And for the matter, there are somethings that might no flash up, like a new bootloader for ones, or a new radio version for others.

Point is, it depends on your hard-SPL. I had to change mine in order to successifully upgrade the radio of my Trinity, and to do so, I had to put a new SPL, throght USB cable. Only after that, the changes on radio firmware could be saved.

Another consideration:

On Trin's Wiki they stated that you must have a *clean* SD, formated with fat32. I did this so many times until I found out that you don't need to reformat e reinstall all the time.

If you do so one time, it works fine, just do some defrag from time to time, before you place a new rom file there.

Another point:

Many of the apps only needed shortcut creation to keep back on-line (thx God, it is not good to keep reinstalling Destinator every three weeks...)

Ok, this is Kaiser forum, but since I'm already on the subject...

Suppose there will be a new OS version (in a far 'away' future) that will allow cards from 16GB up. Keep in mind: No SD flashing will work from them! Only from the natively supported ones!

(Anytime I need to flash my Trin I had to switch back to my 2GB SD or it will not find the files. After the flash I switch back to my 4GB card. That my occur with Kaiser in the near future...)

Well that's it...

(On the subject... I looks like I will lay hands on my Kaiser soon!!! :D)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
No you will be fine you wont lose any settings until you flash the rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahassouna:
this is what alltheway posted in the ultimate radio thread and yes you can flash radio and ROM as well, you just need to rename the file to KAISIMG

always find flashing with a card is a lot faster than using a software because I can do this anytime with just one little card. I didn't find this in wiki so might as well just make one. tested by myself.

***IMPORTANT***

Please make sure you have HardSPL on your device. And also make sure you have more than 50% of battery left or you can plug in a charger just to make sure there is no power failure. I am not sure if SIM unlocked is necessary prior to performing these steps, so hopefully someone (maybe pof) can help me with this. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

1. Get a 128MB MicroSD card (or whatever size you like) and format it (***please make sure you format it, but not just delete all contents on it) NOTE : Make sure you format it FAT32

2. find the ROM image you would like to use, normally namede RUU_Sign.nbh, and rename it to "KAISIMG.nbh"

3. Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Power and Camera buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears. (taken from Wiki)

4. You will first see a tri-color screen then the information on the card. Press power button to start flashing.

5. After all these are done, press the reset button located at the bottom of the phone to reset the device.

DISCLAIMER

I take no responsiblity for any conflict, fault, or damage caused by this flashing procedure. No warranties of any kind are given.

it was just one thread below this one lol what a small world :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
I got this from cmonex's site and condensed it for simplicity (this will flash cmonex's HardSPL 3.29).

1. Download the following file, unzip it and copy the 2 files into the root of your MicroSD card.

http://www.4shared.com/file/66441900/2d3906f4/Cmonexs_HardSPL_329_SD.html

2. Insert the microSD in the kaiser, then reset kaiser.

3. It should say Loading / Update in progress then reboot to a screen saying SPL 1.00.OliNex.

4. It should now flash in the KAISIMG.NBH. and will reset.

5. At this point it should boot to the OS, if it doesn't, then flash an OS. (of course delete the previous KAISDIAG.NBH and KAISIMG.NBH from the sd card and remove sd unless you opt to flash the OS from sd too)

I havent tried this myself as I always flash from the computer as I find it safer but theres no reason it shouldnt work. If you try it let me know how it goes and I will add it to the guide if it all goes ok.

Amazing FOOL PROOF instructions for a real newbie like myself. Thanks for your work.:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Hmmm, most times... but...

You might need to re-configure your data connections after flashing if the Chef has not included the Connection/Network Setup Wizard in the ROM.

Normally after you flash it the network wizard will download the settings from your carrier and set them. If the network wizard does not do this, just find a CAB and install it and Soft Reset.

For some reason I didnt see anything about flashing a rom i thought it was just about flashing a HardSPL and CID haha I must be reading too many threads im losing my eyesight.

Dave is right as long as the Rom has the connections setup wizard it will automatically configure your settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Rockford_622:
Is it mandatory to CID unlock my Kaiser if I just wish to flash a cooked rom? I upgraded from an AT&T 8525 and remember only needing to flash HardSPL and then my rom of choice. Is this still true?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jbulluck:
Yes, this is still true! I just flashed my first ROM about a week ago and was confused myself but I did the unlock anyway so on the first post just skip that step and follow the directions that mskip has posted and you will have much success!

HELP

Can anyone help me pls?!

I have a Kaiser from vodafone called "VPA Compact V" and I want to install a new ROM.

I installed 2 different versions on this phone till now! but these 2 where only vodafone versions.

now i want to install one of the xda-developers. but always when the phone wants to update, that means when the 3 color display comes where the "USB" text highlighted after some seconds then the update stops und nothings will be done!!!!!

What can i do???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
How much of this guide have you followed? Have you installed the Hard SPL?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Schakal84:
i followed the instructions of the first page!

an if i wanted to install the Hard SPL the same "Error" comes! the device hold on the update screen.

ROM Version: 1.56.162.5

Radio: 1.27.12.11

Protokoll 22.45.88.07H

i also start the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe on my device and then i see the 4Color Display and the "USB" text arrived! but nothing else follows.......

is this phone locken for other Roms?? because if i tried the RUU_Kaiser_VF_DE_1.56.162.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship from Vodafone the update finished successfully!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] djshorty:
Thanks for quick replay.

As i understand i have nothing else to do exept follow this guide, do steps 1-4 to install hardspl and unlock my phone, and step 5 to install new ROM?

Another quick question for example i want to flash with "HyperDragon III ROMs: [6 January 2009] HyperDragon III Raphael OS 5.2.21009 Build 21009.1.6.0" does this mean i will have WM6.1?I now have WM6 pro, with this rom i will have WM6.1 pro or?

Thanks, and sorry if it is a stupid question.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Yes and Yes.

The device's ROM (read only memory) has many parts, SPL, Radio, OS, Splash, etc.

When you flash the HDIII Rom you are replacing the OS part (the splash and radio might also be flashed) of your device's ROM with the cooked one by SJ. The cooked ROM image has the WM6.1 Pro OS in it.

On this site ROM is often used to decribe the OS part of the ROM.

This also means you will lose any data not on your storage card.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dries77:
about a year ago a updated my WM6.0 to 6.1. I used SPL then.

Now i would like to update to Athine ME3.0. I read that if you installed HardSPL once, you dont need to do that again. But how can i check this?

During startup i get the red indication of rom versions.

Can i just update to a new rom?

EDIT, found it. Press camera button and reset. If you get the colored screen spl is still on your phone
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
SPL has always been on your phone but to flash a custom Rom you need HardSPL. Once you get into the tri-coloured screen read the 2nd line down that starts SPL. If it has .hard or .hard2 on the end then you have hardspl and can proceed to flash your custom rom. If not then you need to flash hardspl before you do anything else.

I have a tmobile sim but when I put it it ask me for a security unlock code. Isn't it unlocked onece one of those custom roms is installed? please help. Any help will be appreciated.

Flashing a custom rom on the phone doesnt unlock it to any network it just updates the operating system. You need to Sim Unlock it to be able to use your tmobile sim card. If your phone has been modified already it might already have HardSPL on it, in which case you can go ahead and run the Sim Unlocker and then flash your Radio back afterwards and you are done. Unless of course you are planning on flashing one of the custom roms available on XDA.

These are the steps you should take (if you want to keep your existing rom and just unlock it):

1. Go into the Bootloader and check your SPL version (Enter Bootloader by Holding in the Power and Camera buttons, press the reset button with the stylus for about 3 seconds until the tri-colour screen appears, then read the 2nd line which is the SPL version)

2a. If you have .hard or .hard2 at the end then you have HardSPL on your phone and can proceed to unlock it. (Step4 of the Guide)

2b. If you dont have HardSPL on your phone then Go through Step3 of the Guide and then proceed to Step4.

3. After you have unlocked your phone then you need to flash back your original Radio as it gets changed when you followed Step4 (follow Step6 to flash back your original Radio).

*Link to Download Radio 1.65.29.22*

Of course after you have HArdSPL on your phone you are totally free to flash a custom rom or update your radio to any of the WM6.1 Radios that are available in The Ultimate Radio Thread.

It might sound complicated but if you follow the steps exactly as I have described them to you then you wont have any problems. If you do get stuck or need more clarification of any steps then post back in here or pm me theres always plenty of help available.

Good luck :)

Noob-tarded

Need help! I think I've screwed the pooch (a pooch named Kaiser) here:

I've followed all the steps up until step 4, number 2.

After the phone reset, it syncs with the computer (I have Vista, so am not using ActiveSync, it just shows up as another hard drive; like inserting a USB drive would). Then, the screen goes black after the initial boot screen (that swoosh 3G screen with ATT on it).

I can see the files on my computer through windows explorer, but the phone itself is unresponsive.

I've attempted to hard reset, soft reset, and everything I can find to try to get it working just "back to normal" but I'm lost now. Can anyone help?

I would ultimately love to be able to change my ROM, radios, and such, but am now more worried about just getting the phone to work. ANy help would be appreciated!

Peace!

Flashinf my Rom from windows m 6.0 to 6.1 Help required please !!

Hi there I was wondering if you guyz could please offer some advice?

I have a HTC TyTN 11 and it is branded 3 with Planet 3 icome built into the system. If I was to upgrade to windows 6.1 from 6.0 would the branding come off the phone? I really wat to keep the planet 3 icon on the system as 3uk say they no longer offer software support for the fone and I then would not be able to get planet 3 again.

Would adding mobile 6.1 onto the handset completely reset everything on the phone as I am told it is a ROM upgrade.

Any help would be much appreciated on this matter, and also is there much difference to windows 6.0 and 6.1?

Regards

Razor
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Yes :D

Put your phone in bootloader mode and flash your ROM again.

I can't help you with planet 3. But, adding WM6.1 will wipe every thing on your phone, use Active Sync and PIM backup to back it all up.

WM6.1 Has threaded SMS (Chat Style) for one thing, and performs better (generally :)). I can't recall all the differences but I'm sure you could find them on google.

P.S. Moved your thread into this one :D

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sumyongi:
Thanks for your response Dave! I re-flashed the ROM in bootloader mode (it says SIM UNLOCKED) on the top of it. Then after it restarts, I Hard reset it like step 5 number 4 states. Then it restarts again, goes through 100% of the configuration, then restarts one last time. After that, I get the same problem... nothing on the screen :(

Do you think it could be because I might not have windows 6.1? That's something the KaiserCustomRUU program suggested.

If that's the problem, I'm then confused on how to upgrade it to that rom without doing all of the same stuff I have been doing over again.

Can you help a noob again? Thank you very much!

Flashing a ROM will upgrade you to WM 6.1.

Are you by chance trying to flash while still only having HARDSPL1 on your device from when you SIM/CID unlocked the phone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Can you go into the Bootloader (hold in power and camera buttons fully and then press in the reset button with your stylus for about 3 seconds until the tri-colour secreen comes up) and read the 2nd line down that says SPL. Make sure you have deleted any kaisimg.nbh from your memory card first though or it will be detected and start flashing.

Travito - I might be trying to flash HARDSPL1 on my device, but I'm not entirely certain how I could do anything differently... how would I check this?

mskip - The second line down in bootloader mode says: SPL-3.29.Hard

I'm fairly certain I don't have any .nbh file on my drive because of the Hard resets I've been doing, and because I don't have a microSD card in the slot.

I very much appreciate your help guys. Thanks so much!

Radio Version: 1.65.20.29 (Previosly released)

Protocol version: 25.88.40.04H

Ok you have HardSPL on your phone so you dont need to worry about that step anymore.

You say that everything flashes ok when you install a Rom but when it gets into the actual screen it goes blank? Does it go through the flash to 100% and then restart or does it get stuck before it reaches the end? Does it get to the screen that says "Tap here with the stylus"?

Suggestions:

Flash cmonex's HardSPL via microSD card method.

Try downloading the rom again as it might have been corrupted during download.

Make sure your sim card is removed during flashing to avoid a bad flash.

If none of these sugestions work then download and flash a STOCK WM6.1 Rom to see if that works.
