I'm having the same problem with the SD card. I've had it before, and do not remember exactly how it started working again, but it worked again many times after the problem occurred. I vaguely remember having to use XP to flash it (I usually run ubuntu), but I've also had the connection error as well.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] erbegu:
i had the same problem with the sd card, and i put there, on the root of the sd both RAPHIMG.nbh file and the application file (after a quick format as FAT32), than i put the card back on my phone, and to continue the installation i pressed volume down + power button + reset with the stylous (before i used to press the wrong button - i pressed center button and not the power button), after that it begun flashing :-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
It looks like you are doing everything correctly. So its just not recognising the rom image on the card? Is the card formatted with FAT32 from the pc?

If you can, try to get hold of another 1 or 2 GB card, preferably sandisk as those seem to always work.

Hello everyone,

I have a HTC Touch pro with HTC win 6.1. My PC is windows 7 business.

I was reading the sticky 'Flashing your first Raphael GSM (for noobs)" and following those directions to flash HARDSPL.

I connected the phone trough ActiveSync. It had full battery, no SIM inside.

I launched the application and pressed continue on WIN7 UAC prompt.

I checked sure, and pressed next, next ... it started and after 15 seconds it said failed communicating with phone. I that time i saw on the HTC a litle popup that said want to allow "windows\bootloader.exe" yes or no.

I clicked no and started all over with the HARDSPL pressed next, next ... and start. I looked at the phone, the popup appeared again I said yes this time.

Windows logo started turning and screen went black.

Then my PC said installing new device driver, and the HARDSPL application said phone disconnected.

The phone is still on the black screen and connected, windows has finished installing new device driver. What should i do now ? I'm afraid to disconnect or reset ?

Should i start the hardspl program again ?

Please advise, thanks !
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Just reset the phone, and re-run the HardSPL RUU. Now that Windows has installed the drivers, it should run successfully (just make sure you don't have a Storage Card in the device).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] erbegu:
i have windows ultimate and i cant do the flashing with it, if u can find a WinXP the flashing will work absolutely, but otherwise u can do it though your SD card
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Tazkika:
Win7 allows flashing without any problems, I use the Ultimate on a Macbook and it flashes via activeSync... but I have to admint it's easier via SD card...:)

Error 276 - Update error

A noobish question perhaps but i can't get my brain around this:

- i got the HARDSPL package on my pc and my phone connected to my laptop.

- Phone (with WM6.x) asks for Activesync connection i agree

- Laptop recognizes the phone (maps the Touch at my computer, so i can browse my device)

- i run the HARDSPL software

- and after some clicking the status bar shows up in hardSPL

- After a few seconds my phone screen goes black

- the HARDSPL status bar stays at 0%

- after another few seconds the follow error occurs 'Error 276 - update error'

So where does this go wrong, it seems my phone - PC connection is there, but the update doesn't happen (i can just remove batery and add it back to the phone and everything works again).

Any thoughts for the experts ?

Tx in advance for a newbie/noob
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] erbegu:
this happened to me too, when i used for this Windows 7, you probably have that or Vista? i think u do better if u do this with an XP windows
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Siegertje:
Yep, i use Windows Vista. Ain't got no Windows XP and doubt it will work if i use VMWare or via a Remote Desktop session to one of my work pc's with XP.

afaik this should work with Vista, anyone else got suggestions?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Vista is very hit and miss, sometimes it works perfectly and other times you dont stand a chance in hell of getting it working.

Are you getting an activesync connection?

Can you delete your partnership and make a new partnership with your pc.

What exact step is it going wrong? And what exact message if any?

Mark.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] GoBieN:
I left the phone as it was overnight to await your answers.

There is no SD card present.

I just now tried soft reset and i tried removing the battery and putting it back in. The phone won't start, it does nothing at all (as if no power). Maybe the battery went completely down while it was connected over night. I will put it on AC adapater for a while and try again. I hope it's not bricked !!

EDIT: AFter loading on AC; it starts up fine. Will try again a bit later.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Siegertje:
This is what i did and what went wrong:

Im going to retry tonight and check out ur hints, tx for the answer so far
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
Not sure if this will help......

I had similar issues with my laptop ( Acer Aspire ) and vista. The laptop has two usb ports - and both allow me to connect the phone, sync it, move files, etc and charge the phone.

For some reason, only one of the two usb ports allows me to upgrade the phone. When attached to one of the usb ports, all I get is connection errors, etc. Change the usb cable to the other port - and the upgrades / flashing happens without error.

Has Vista automatically installed any other drivers for the phone - my laptop installed HTC USB drivers after the first flash fail - which seems to let the phone to continue to stay connected to the computer even after the activsync / windows mobile device center connection ends ( which I believe is part of the standard flashing process )

Just a few thoughts, and I cannot say why my laptop does this - but it does. If you have more than one usb port - you may want to give it a shot.

Good luck

Question with Flashing ROM

I was able to Run HardSPL and it said it completed but when I try to check the bootloader nothing happens.

Someone Please help me out. I'm new to this and haven't flashed anything before.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
What does it say in the bootloader?

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bmxwylie:
it just says complete. like SPL runs it gets to 100% says its complete but when the phone comes back on nothing has changed

No I meant can you enter the bootloader screen and tell me what the spl line says:

[FONT=&quot]**To enter Bootloader and check HardSPL version; with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button, then press the reset button with the stylus. Release the volume down button when bootloader tricolour screen appears**

Are you able to boot back into a rom or is it stuck?

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bmxwylie:
I don't think any of it worked... so basically I have a stock AT&T Fuze that i'm trying to get to dualboot andriod. I read that I had to load HardSPL first. Is this correct. what are the necessary steps to get dualboot.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Well yes you need HArdSPL installed before you can make any changes to your phone. When you press the volume down and then the reset button you need to keep them both held in for about 3-4 seconds before the bootloader screen appears so make sure you are pressing them in for long enough.

This is from the Wiki it should explain things better:

How to enter bootloader mode:

Pull out the stylus

With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.

Continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons until bootloader appears.

Once you are in there you should be able to read the spl line. To get out just press the reset button again.

Mark.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bmxwylie:
I didn't realize the device had to be turned off. I was able to get to the bootloader and it says

RAPH110

SPL-1.90.Olinex

MocroP-Raph (LED) c13

MocroP Raph(KEY) v5

PSOC-Raph STAGE_CVT v0x36

You have HardSPL on your phone and can safely flash roms via microsd card.

Im not sure about the dual boot system you wanted yo uwill have to look in the related forum about how to do that but you definitely have HardSPL so you are good to go :)

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jekcooper:
Hi,

I'm not a noob exactly as I've flashed roms on my kaiser, but I've run into trouble with my Raphael trying to install hardspl.

If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

I am running Windows 7, with dotnet 3.5 installed.

I followed steps 1 to 7 and the Raphael went to a black screen. However, then WM Device Centre lost the connection and now won't connect again. I left it twenty minutes to see if it would come back, then tried changing it to a different usb port.

But I still have a black screen on the Raphel and no connection.

Help?

jo
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jekcooper:
OK - panic over - I posted too soon!

Managed a soft reset to get the phone back, though it took a reinstall of WMDC on the PC before I could get it connected again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
An easier way to flash ROMs besides SD card is go to bootloader and then connect the USB cable and when you read "USB " in the bottom white half of the Bootloader you are ready to go.

But be sure about the battery level because this is a forced flash your battery MUST BE over 50% to be safe.

You don't want to run out of battery between flash and risk a brick or a dead bootloader.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kart_racer3:
Hi Everyone, I had a quick question that I wasn't able to find the answer to. I had read that some members flash back to the stock ROM periodically, either for general maintenance purposes or when their device may be experiencing odd issues. Is there any benefit to flashing the stock ROM every now and again, or is this just a placebo effect?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
As such there is no hard and fast rule about flashing back to Stock ROM for maintainance,

But when one's device gets messed up and one is feeling lag its a good idea to flash Stock ROM and perform a couple of hard resets.

Thats it.

Sometimes it provides mental satisfaction to the psychological blocks in the mind.

Is it possible to install 2 ROMS in rapheal?

Android and WM?

Thanks before hand!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Android is not yet that stable or widely availible in the form of a ROM.

How ever you could boot Andrid on a device with a custom ROM installed ( through Haret ) You could look at the process on the Android thread for Raphael ( started by BabiJoe ).

And no you can't flash 2 ROMs.

Only one .nbh Image can be retained on the device if there are two images there will be a conflict which will result in no flash or a brick.

Even if a CDMA image is flashed on GSM or visa-versa it leads to a dead Device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RedRizla:
thanks man works great!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] z3wl:
can i flash a custom ROM (like energy) if my phone is blocked under the Vodafone network? using hardspl and active sync. it will work? after flashing the calling features will remain ok?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Until and unless your phone is GSM you CAN flash ANY GSM custom ROM for Raphael AFTER flashing HardSPL.

And yes the calling features will remain ok.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] z3wl:
so if my htc touch pro is gsm (and it's locked) i can still flash any custom ROM using hard spl first right? but how can i find out if it's GSM? what's the diference between the gsm and CDMA?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Difference between GSM and CDMA is that in GSM you can put any other network providers SIM card and it should work...

How ever in a CDMA phone the phone must run only with one network provider unless unlocked using IMEI number etc etc..

If you have a SIM card slot you can Flash HardSPL ( which will unlock your phone enough to flash a custom ROM ).

To make sure yours is also a GSM you can go to bootloader ( press vol down + reset button together for 5 secs ) and in the bootloader-a tricolor screen you will see top line with RAPHXXX XXX should be three digits and tell me which are the digits and i can confirm weather its a CDMA or a GSM.

Hi All,

I'm trying to flash a ROM through the SD but it's not working at all...(btw thanks for the great detailed explanation)

I tried everything but it's always the same result: No Image File

My piece is a touch pro (Raphael)

My SD is Sandisk 2 GB FAT32 (I just formatted it as FAT32)...

File names I tried: RAPHMIG.nbh, raphimg.nbh, RAPHIMG.nbh...

I tried it with different ROMs even with an original one...

I put the file on the root directory, and I even tried to put only the NBH file on the SD but still in vain...

I tried entering the bootloader mode in two ways, through an exe file OR by using the volume down...

same result: No image file...

Please help as I don't have access to an XP pc to flash a ROM and the ROM I have has some conflicts...and I'm starting to get mad...:confused::eek:

Thanks...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Frosty01:
I feel you, I have the same problem, tried another sd card and got the same error, tried a different rom and got the same problem. Did a hard reset and then tried flashing and gto the same problem. I noticed that you have the erergy rom as well, can it possibly be something that was done in the ROM?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Blue_Cruise:
I'm really not sure...and no one has the same complain on Energy ROM's thread...may be one who said that he was used to that kind of flash and then it stopped working at all...

I'll give it a shot and try to ask the same question over there although I don't think it's a ROM issue...

but can't anyone here help????!!! :(:(:(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Did you name the file literally RAPHMIG.nbh you just have to rename the .nbh file to Raphmig ( nbh is the file extension you don't have to include that in the name. )
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Frosty01:
you mean raphimg
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
yes correction*
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Blue_Cruise:
do you mean I should put it without the extension, just 'RAPHIMG'?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
If you are flashing via microsd card then you need to name the image file to RAPHIMG.nbh including the extension. Just make sure your file explorer isnt set to hide extensions or you may end up naming the file RAPHIMG.nbh.nbh (because the extension doesnt appear).

Mark.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Blue_Cruise:

Noobie help..again. Sorry!

Hi guys,

After two full days of reading these threads and 'messing' about with my Vario iv I worked up the courage to go throught the process of cooking my ROM.

I have been following this guide the modmydiamond.info guide as it always helps to have pictures! :D And also reading this thread to double check I am doing everthing correct.

However. Every time I try and run the HARD-SPL put of the process the phone disconects from my Pc at 0%.

I have tried connecting via usb through bootloader too and it still fails at 0%.

The bootloader screen reads;

RAPH300

SPL-1.90.Olinex

MICROP-HERM (LED) V13

MICROP-HERM (KEY) V5

PSOC-HERM STAGE-CVT VOX 35

I didn't write down what it read before I started the process so am not sure if it has changed. But it says Olinex on the screen so am not sure if it has woked or not and do not want to upgrade the ROM until I am sure it has istalled properly.

Does any of that make sense to anyone...???
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
You're good to go; start flashing.

Edit: hold on a second, how come your bootloader screen says HERM on it? Is your device CDMA? If so, does your phone boot up properly right now? You're really luck if it does. You need to flash the cdma hard spl, which is 1.34, or something like that.

Flashing the wrong hard spl is one of the best ways to brick a phone. If your phone boots up, you're really lucky. Read this thread, it has links to the cdma hard spl thread, which is posted at ppc geeks (it looks like it also has the hard spl download in post 2).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] m_pa:
Hi at all.

I did this two times right now and wanted to proceed with my Raphael but I can't download the file because of this funny RS-message:

"This file is copyrighted and may not be distributed without permission of the copyright holder. We will direct you to RapidMovies, where you can buy upcoming games and movies legally online"

Very nice of RS as I haven't watched a movie in awhile, but I'd rather like to go on with my Raphael.

Is there a copyright or just a mistake? Could someone please reupload it?

Many thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Thats what i wondered he has a RAPH 300 which i think is a sprint...

He is on the wrong sub forum altogether.

I hope he din't go on to flash a GSM ROM because as we have all seen that leads to a permenant brick and then the microwave and the water and the insurance claims kick in :rolleyes:

hope it hasn't reached that stage.

I suggest that you flash a stock ROM and then flash CDMA HardSPl and a CDMA ROM ONLY

What are you looking for ? what shall we uplaod ?

Hi again guys,

I am on T mobile UK, so yes it is a GSM phone.

Its sorted now though! I downloaded the non signed version and it worked fine. I have now changed my radio and installed the latest energy rom.

Very impressed with all!! The radio isn't much of an improvemnt though. Has anyone go a reckonmendation for a good UK radio? I have just upgraded from a Vario 2 and have lost reception at home...? :confused: Same network so it must be the phone right?

I've been trying for over a week now to flash my fuze. I tried activesync on my XP computer and WMDC on my Vista one, but I can never get it to sync. I always get an error (202) about the USB cable not being connected. Is there someone reputable who I could pay to do it for me?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
There is a much simpler way, that not many people know.

If you are sure your battery is over 50% and you are flashing a correct ROM after HardSPl.

Then you can go to the bootloader ( i'm assuming you know how to do that- the tricolor screen ) and then connect USB cable wait for 5-10 secs and at the white end at the bottom you will see "serial" turn into "USB" when it says USB at the bottom you can flash.

But if it is NOT saying USB something is wrong with your cable, port, or the port on the phone ! ( most likely hardware issue. )

Happy flashing.
