Thanks for the replies.

Will do so once I finish my office work.

I hope I get it right, though.

Will post any other observations if I have other doubts on what I am doing.

Thanks again.

I forgot to ask. Can I browse this website as I am doing the procedure?

Maybe I'll just print the instructions to be on the safe side.

The reminder on the screen saver pertains to the pc side, right?

I saw this message on page 2:

I would like to add to this post....

While the flashing process is taking place, DO NOT start another process.

DO NOT click off of the status bar... Let it stay in the foreground.

DO NOT let the screensaver activate either.

Any of these things can take processor time away from the flashing process and could possible "hiccup" the flash, causing a bad flash and possibly (slight possibility) brick the device. Especially if you are replacing the SPL.

There are alot of posts that tell how for the newbs to flash their device, but I see ALOT of posts that say "I followed the directions, but still bricked, HELP"

I can only wonder if they are starting the flashing process then going to internet explorer (or some other browser) or loading another program to ocupy their time while the flashing is going on which is causing a bad flash.

hey i got a question, is step 4( SIM and CID-Unlock.) needed or can i just skip it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Technically if you dont want to Sim Unlock your phone then you can skip it as a HardSPL allows you to flash any custom rom.

Flashing my First Rom

Hello Everyone. Please help:

:confused: I am trying to flash the ROM of my ATT Tilt I just got. I have downloaded HardSPL_and_CidUnlocker.zip.

I am at Step 12 in '3. Flash HardSPL 3.29':

When running KaiserCustomRUU.exe, it doesn't show the current image version under 'Current Information about your PDA Phone'. I still click 'Update' Then it displays: 'From Image Version (BLANK) To Image Version 1.00.000.0. I continue - the screen on the phone changes to 0%, stays like that for a while and then I get the Error [262] - Update Error because of connection issue.

I just got this refurbished phone from ATT. I am able to sync the phone with my laptop (I didn't try to sync Outlook) so looks like the cable should be Ok. After restart, the phone goes back to its original state.

Please help - what should I do???

Thanks a lot
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] snorkle:
i actually just did this, and had the same problem, i installed the 6.1 WM that you get to update your phone and it windows mobile started again and then i tried it again and it worked that time! you can do it that way but im sure theres easyer ways. btw thanks everyone for the help ! i got it running and its amazing! thank you all!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] var7:
Thanks snorkle. Please could you be more specific - what do you mean that you installed 6.1 WM? The phone already has it. I didn't even bother to check the CD - is it on the CD?

Also am I supposed to see the 'Current version' before I click 'Update'?

See, I don't want to make assumptions because of the risks :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] snorkle:
hey sorry it took my so long to get back to you. but when you updated your phone from 6.0 to 6.1 you used a setup thing, if you run that again and update your phone, your phone will come back on like it was normaily, and then just follow the intructions again. What made mine do that is i had everything in one folder, and i put everything by its self and it worked after that
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] var7:
Thanks for the reply.

Actually mine already came with 6.1.

Anyways, I was able to do it. I completely forgot that I had a SD card inside. I removed it plus I used a different USB port (I think the key was the removal of the card). After that I was able to do the update and I just finished the whole process!

Thanks again.

Also thanks to everyone who created this site and contributes in its day to day operations!

Now let me go and check what I got :)

Thanks.

Becasue I am still not able to keeop my connection during the rom updating proces (I found another post with the same problem, but the link to the guide was broken), I decided to give it a try via SD card.

I format a 1GB card, changed to file name to KAISIMG.nbh and then I put the card into my Kaiser. Pressing the buttons I can come into bootloader mode and I can see the tri color screen.

Then it goes to a white screen where it says "loading....." But here it gives a problem. This screen is only available for just a few miniseconds and after that it goes back to the tri color screen.

Does someone know how to solve this issue??

I am still trying to finish my first flash attempt. Hope you guys can help me!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Do you have Hard SPL installed?

It should show on the Tri-color (bootloader) screen

Ta

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pimpeloen:
Yes, I do.

The tri color screen reads:

KAIS130

SPL-3.29.Hard

cpld-8
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
OK, that's fine.

Did you format the card using Windows and select FAT32?

Is the file called definatly called KAISIMG.NBH.

Ta

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
You followed the steps exactly in the guide?

Flashing Via MicroSD Card

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do).

2. Download your prefered Rom from the Kaiser Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer.

3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to KAISIMG.nbh

4. Copy the KAISIMG.nbh file to your MicroSD Card.

5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone.

6. Hold in the Power and Camera buttons, then press the reset button with the stylus for about 3 seconds until the BootLoader screen appears.

7. You will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top.

8. A message will then pop up asking you to press the Power button to start the update.

9. Press power button to start flashing.

10. Once phone finishes flashing and gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET

(press left and right softkey buttons on the front and hold in reset with stylus until message appears).

11. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Clear Data.

12. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Restart Phone.

13. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pimpeloen:
I formatted the card with my (old) Artemis because I don't have a cardreader on my pc. Via windows I can see properties and it says FAT32.

I named the file exacty KAISIMG.nbh.

I did follow the instructions. only I never come to the part where you have to press the power button, to start the proces.

Could it be that if I do a hard reset, it automatically boots the new rom from the SD card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Nope.

I have noticed that formatting the Card via PPC doesn't always work.

If you can format the card using a Card Reader it might work.

Ta

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Agreed.. If you can find someone with a Laptop and you have an SD Adapter that would be an easy method to format it to Fat32 Via PC or get a card reader from any Electrical shop very cheaply. Its the only reason I can think of why the image isnt being recognised. You could also try with a different Rom just to make sure the file is ok.

Mskip and Daveshaw,

I would just like to thank you guys for the help.

I checked out some stores and some had rom-flashing services for 500 Php ~ 10USD.

I followed your instructions to the letter and was able to flash my first rom,

L26 Diamondthrottle. Might change roms again though, hehe :)

I'm just confused on why everytime I start up my Kaiser, an app signals me to install several cabs and although I've clicked on them to have them installed it still starts off that way.

Do you already have HardSPL flashed?

Thx for the Fast replay :)

I Check first the Format of my Card!

But i think i understand something wrong....

Have u a url or faq where i can find out the difference between Rom, Radio and HardSPL?

I Thought: Rom = Firmware and Radio = Tools installed on Them O_o :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
HardSPL is what you use to flash the custom software (You need to flash HardSPL before anything else).

Roms are the operating systems for the phone

Radios control the communications protocols like Signal, GPS and battery.

Thats why the guide is written in a specific order you have to follow it through from top to bottom to be successful.

Hello,

I am attempting to flash my first new ROM using NATF's v5 Loaded Final. It saves to my desktop as a .rar file, so I downloaded IZarc to open the .rar file. When I click on the KaiserRun.exe file, I get a couple of screens with boxes to check and then I keep getting the following error message:

ERROR[240] FILE OPEN

The update utility cannot open the requested file. Please check your update utility.

I am lost as to what this means. I have already done the hard SPL thing and the unlock thing, so I have no idea what else I am supposed to do. Any help would sure be appreciated.

Oh yeah, I have a unlocked Tilt that came with WM6.1. Thanks in advance.

hi

I'm a newb in this area, so I need some help please. Recently I got my Kaiser ( I'm from Croatia and my provider is VIP who cooperates with Vodafone) and I want to try to boot Android on my device, and in order to do so I need to flash my ROM. I read a lot of threads on this forum, but got a little confused, since you have to do quite a bit stuff to flash your ROM.

So yesterday I did somethin' stupid. First of all I forgot to write down my original Radio ROM version (dumbass, I know). I did this:

tried to HardSPL my Kaiser, did not do it from first (had some white screen problems) so I did it with JumpSPL 1.56 according to some instructions here.

Then I used KaiserUnlocker to unlock my phone and did it.

Now comes the really stupid part, I downloaded a ROM from duttythroy and flashed my Kaiser with it (Dutty's Diamond V1 Build 19588). What I didn't pay attention to is that my phone runs Windows Mobile 6, and that ROM is for WM6.1

My Kaiser works almost normaly, it boots up without any problems, but I can't make phone conversations with it. I can call someone, but they can't hear me, and I can't hear them, also my camera doesn't work, and the sounds are disabled, this is the indication of a wrong ROM flashed, if I'm not mistaken. SMS work fine though.

So what do I have to do now, to make it work.

I have to flash it with a newer ROM, so I can tryout Android, but can someone please help me how to do it properly.

My current device info is:

ROM version: 1.56.405.5

ROM date: 02/28/07

Radio version 1.58.25.17

Protocol version: 25.69.30.05W

I do know that my older ROM version was lower than the current one, but the ROM date is the same, and my old Radio version was 1.27.*.*

I hope that I'm not asking for much.

Thnx

you can PM me if you want, so that I can give you my email to continue the discussion over email.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Disturbed127:
I flashed my ROM with the OEM (I think, from the official HTC site), and everything is working now, so no need for help. Now I'll pay more attention to details while doing stuff to my Kaiser and read the instructions carefully :)

Hi Ta Dave,

As best I can see, everything is in the same folder. I just deleted the whole ROM download and re-downloaded it to see if I did something worg, and when I try to open the file with IZarc, a window shows up showing both the RUU and the nbh file. So, I click on the RUU and that is when I get the few screens with boxes to click in and then the error message. I read somewhere on these forums that it may be the firewall, so I even tried doing it with my PC firwall turned off, but still no luck. Any other suggestions? Could it have something to do with my WM6.1 version on my Tilt? I thought I read something else about that somewhere.

Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
When you flashed the Rom you most likely had it running with an incompatible Radio. If you flash a custom Rom make sure you flash a Radio that will work with it. Signs of an incompatible Radio are loss of sound and no picture on camera. Theres a link to the Ultimate Radio Guide Thread on my guide to see which Radios work with WM6.1 Roms.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Download WinRar (google it) and open the downloaded file with that. I dont recognize IZarc but it may be causing problems when extracting the files. Also which Rom did you try flashing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pimpeloen:
So, I formatted my SD card with a laptop and I copy the KAISIMG.nbh file to my sd card. (I shouldn't copy the other file, right?) I tried again with Hyperdragon rom of 3 dec. No luck. Then I tried the 30 nov rom. No luck either. I also tried with the AthinoOS rom. Still no luck either. It goes into bootloader mode ( tri color screen) it quickly shows "loading", but then it goes back to the tri color screen.

Does one of you have an idea why? I was really hoping to make my first flash a succesfull one, but this way... :-(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Disturbed127:
thanks for the advice and for all the tips, they have been very helpful. but how can I be sure that a certain ROM works with Radio compatibale to mine, for example I'm going to try dutty's new Dutty's Diamond 5.2.20764.1.4.3 V3.5 Full CVSD ROM on my Kaiser, I didn't see any posts about this ROM, so I'm not sure what radio it uses.

thnx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Did you definitely flash the hardspl to your phone? Can you go into the bootloader and tell me what version it says (2nd line). Its the only thing I can think of why your Rom wouldnt be flashing via microSD Card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
Is there any specific reason why you are using duttys roms? No offence meant to duttys roms hes a fantastic chef but he hasnt cooked roms for the kaiser in a long time and they are a bit dated. A good stable Manila2D rom is HyperDragonIII 3rd october which has no bugs at all and includes a matching Radio cooked in with the Rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Disturbed127:
some of the guys in Android thread said that they use duttys ROMs and that the Android is stable on them, so that's the reason. I'm trying to boot a stable Android on my device.

Sorry I meant 11th October lol heres the link to download it: http://www.myunspace.com/?d=AB9AA80B1 then unpack the files using WinRar and flash via activesyc or microSD Card (I would use activesync so you dont have to copy the file to the storage card).

First of all thanks a lot to all of you doing a great job and helping us newbies.

I just flashed my first rom a couple days ago on my Vario III using the guide for newbies and everything went well.

I am using Hyperdragon III Blackstone 03 December and I have noticed two issues that I have a problem with.

2. when I enter the folder UTILS trough the left softkey ALL PROGRAMS the folder is empty.

Thank in advance

Can I just ask how the problem was solved in case its somthing I can put in my FAQ :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
I actually cover both those questions in the HDIII FAQ lol. The landscape looks messed up because the Manila2D interface is a work in progress and the device it was ported from does not have a slide out keyboard and therefore there was no landscape mode. It does not look like this will be fixed so if it bothers you that much you can flash a rom without Manila2D and use another interface or install mbarvian's landscape program. Personally I just use the interface in Portrait mode and then just flip out the keyboard when I actually need to type something, it works well for me but some people are more fussy.

As for the Utils folder, Manila2D only shows programs or shortcuts and the Utils folder contains scripts for Mortscript. They will show up fine if you go through Start Menu, Programs, Utils. If you want them to show up on Manila2D you will have to create shortcuts for the scripts and place them in the Utils folder then they will show up.

Hope that answered your questions and please keep this Thread confined to questions about flashing and not about the rom you flashed. If you have more questions use the link in my sig to my FAQ Posting and READ READ READ :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mskip:
If you can see in the Bootloader that you definitely have HArdSPL flashed then thats very strange since you have tried several different roms. Are you useing the correct program to extract the files? i.e. WinZIP for .zip files and WinRAR for .rar files? I know that sounds stupid but it has caused problems in the past with files not being extracted correctly.

The only other thing I can think of is that you have a problem with the microSD Card. Can you try to get hold of a different microSD Card and give it a go on that?

Thanks for the pointers. I have been using HD III (as above) for a few weeks now and am very impressed with it however as I dig around more and more into the bundled apps I find I am having problems with SIM Manager.

It taken an absolute age to load (a good few minutes) and when I try to add or edit a SIM contact it hangs again for a good fwe minutes then returns 'unexpected error'. I've performed a soft resest loads of times and the problem persists. Grateful for some more pointers here...

Thanks
