Definitely a space between info and 2

Couple of other little things that might be worth editing in your fine original post...

You might want to make ultra clear that we need to press 0/zero at this point, I was stumped for a while, tried pressing every key...

You might want to clarify this is the USB button in MMTY142, as I saw USB in the bottom left corner of my phone, and kept trying to press the left soft button instead.

Finally, to reassure people that nothing is wrong, they will need to restart after selecting US English as the language, for all menus to not show Chinese any more.

Thanks a lot for putting the guide together, I've had to go back to my C550/Hurricane after I cracked the screen on my Kaiser - I was getting annoyed with so few new/useful apps working on WM2003SE / pre-NET CF3, and had still had a backup-backup phone in the form of my SE K700, so decided to give WM6.1 a shot. Off to try and install PockeTwit now :)
[HTC Hurricane] AnngHelluZ:
Hi, my phone totally dies before I ran the Patched_RUU.exe; it just don't turn on or do anything else. Can you tell me something to bring it back?
[HTC Hurricane] SilentlyScreaming:
Sorry, I don't know the answer, but others may find it useful to know if your phone won't enter the three colour screen, OR just won't turn on normally?

Just to confirm, what happens if you hold down the camera button on the side, then connect a (known working) USB lead between it and your PC? And if you connect your phone to a mains charger, does the orange LED light up to indicate charging is taking place? Any other previous symptoms with this phone?
[HTC Hurricane] AnngHelluZ:
Hi;

The phone is totally dead (No three colors screen, no ligth on, no nothing).

If I hold down the camera button on the side and then I connect a (known working) USB to the PC; guess what... yes! Nothing Happens!

If I connect the phone to a main charger then the orange LED light up.

If I remove the battery and then put it back again and try to turn it on the LED light up in red (it blinks just once).

Could anybody help pleeeeeease!!!!

[HTC Hurricane] oraeanast:
thanks for giving me a tutorial that help me

efficiently BRICK my hurricane in less then 2 minutes!

yay!

Followed instructions precisely..

after i did the "patched_RUU" update..

BRICKED.

bullshi*.
[HTC Hurricane] SilentlyScreaming:
What an ungrateful & rude person you are. YOUR phone was bricked when YOU decided to try something on it. No-one forced you to attempt it.

As you may have guessed from other responses here, most of us have flashed this and other ROMs with no problem.

Is it definitely bricked? Have you tried various recovery techniques.

Have you previously tried asking for assistance in a non-confrontational manner, or even just asking for assistance?
[HTC Hurricane] oraeanast:
Last time i checked.. im entitled to my opinion. And im not a noob if that is what you are getting at. I have much experience with HTC devices, expecially ones running WMO. Bootloader will not launch... and various .exe command files executed through terminal can not force it into BL either. Trust me, its BRICKED. No connect of any sort from computer, not even a (da-ding) when i plug it in. Don't get my wrong... I understand that the second I type in xda-dev into my address bar the brick-risk percentage escalates from 0% to 99% for any phone. It seemed like an extremely simple tutorial, so i did it exactly as stated... only to receive a brick. Clearly by doing this, the person who started this thread was not intending to tell people how to brick... but hey it happens. Figured since the thread-starter has no WARNINGS (that are required to be there) it was for the most part safe. My SDA is bricked and I figured I'd let people know how I felt about it. As for an ungrateful and rude person, you dont know me -- so do not judge me... especial over and online forum (haha) You may want to re-read my post becuase it seems to me that i merely potsed a log of what i did, what happened, and what the result was (along with a little sarcasm). Any dev would appreciate feedback. The only vulgar words was BS and that was just because I was like grrr yet another brick to toss in my drawer.

Moreover, no biggie I like my g1 better anyway lol.

If anybody is willing to sell me a SDA Main Board for cheap hit me up!
[HTC Hurricane] SilentlyScreaming:
OK, so we're both entitled to our opinions.

I apologize if I over-reacted, and TBH, yes I assumed you were a newbie. From my false assumption (my bad), I thought it sounded like you'd dived into something without any research, bricked your phone, and were now just lashing out at the OP.

I'm sorry your phone is dead, and I hope you manage to sort it one way or another.

I'm also jealous you have a G1. I'm stuck on my Hurricane for another 5 months or so until I can get my TyTnII screen fixed.

Anyway, I digress, sorry for assuming you were a school kid that had not followed instructions and was now throwing a tantrum. Hope you find a source for a cheap mainboard.
[HTC Hurricane] ac2806:
Hi

I tested this ROM some days without problems, only the MMS were not really working because there were no MMS network settings.

Today I inserted my memory card with Tomtom 5.2 installed and now after entering the pin it hangs up and only shows a white screen. If I press the "hang up" button there is the Enter SIM Pin dialog and "waiting .." is written. No other button is working.

I waited a half hour but nothing happened. Removing the memory card didn't solve the problem.

What shall I do?
[HTC Hurricane] 3d.dido:
Is there some way

Hi

I have a SPV C550 Orange - the phone was very slow and may say not workable.

What I do & what happen

1. Hard reset - L + R soft buttons + power

2. answer 0

3. phone become live and star to responding

4. cert.cab --> dont start because for some reasons the software isnt compatible

5. SDA_applicationUnlock --> return the device is unlockable

6. SPVServices --> crashed with windows error

7. Patched_RUU --> work but ...

8.

"do the same thing we did before, hold the camera button and it will show you a 3 colour screen. but this time it will say

need an I U(0)?" --> this message is not appear at all.

9. MMTY142 --> successufuly connected to device but only "info 2" run well

"format BINFS" --> is forbiden - I meen because 4. 5. 6. not pass right.

Now the question:

Is there some way to flash the Hurricane. At the "ubrhurricane.rar" have ROMUpdateUtility.exe and *.nbf - I have Qtek S200 and HP 6828 and both devices pass flashed well.

What will be happened if I rename 413.bin to 413.nbf and try to flash device with ROMUpdateUtility.exe
[HTC Hurricane] SilentlyScreaming:
Sorry I can't help on the question above.

Just a quick note, I mentioned previously that I had around 2mb of storage space left on the device itself. Today the phone crashed (wouldn't progress beyond successful PIN entry at turning on), so I decided to try out option 2 during boot up. Phone worked again. I then cleared the hive, and I now have ~12Mb of storage space.

So if you have what you need backed up, and can selectively restore, it could be well worth clearing the hive when you flash.
[HTC Hurricane] kaiserstumm:
Got one SDA to unlock here...have instaled the Cert.cab on the phone with sucsses but when I run the SPVServices.exe and type AGREE the program freezes and just sends the error report and close..have tryed it on two PC-s...what could be the prob:confused:
[HTC Hurricane] justM-xda:
Does this Simunlock????:confused::confused:
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
It seems that the Orange Devices have special security settings in the OS that does not allow the SDA-Unlock to do its job. Luckily there is another way to get it done. Run the attached file on the PC, it will install a tool that runs on the device and basically "macros" the HTC-signed Reg-editor to enter the changed security settings to the registry. After a reboot you can run SDA Unlock and continue.

As I read the doc at the bottom it should be:

where the first character is a small letter "L" (for load).

You seem to use the pipe character "|" and this does not work.

[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
I have no Hurricane to check, but does the command "format BINFS" actually also accept a parameter <size>? It does this for the Tornado and you can reclaim device storage space from the flash if the loaded flash-image is smaller than the previously loaded. This works in 1MB increments. Look up this thread (post 2): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=491240

If you leave out the <size> it will format to the previously allocated size of the BINFS partition. You must make sure that loaded image fits into the partition - no need to tell you that...
[HTC Hurricane] waqas_ali6012003:
after that my phone cant on

we will now patch the ruu,

you will need to turn your phone off and hold the camera button whilst putting the usb into the phone. this will turn it on and show you a three colour screen. go to the spl folder use Patched_RUU.exe to flash your phone, after the bar has reached 100% you can unplug the phone. and turn it off.

plz psot here how to on my phone
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
If I run this exe from my laptop (windows 7) I just get a message saying

"Unable to create new document"

If i copy it to the phoen and run it from there I get a "website" window with "related Searches". No sign of SimLock Tool???
[HTC Hurricane] SilentlyScreaming:
Do you get the same error if you run the exe either in admin more, or compatibility mode (XP SP3 or similar)?

Right click the EXE, click the compatibility tab to access the tick boxes you need for XP compat., or right click and run as admin for admin access.

Not guaranteed to work, but worth trying first, if you haven't already.
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
nope.

tried running as admin - no luck

tried compatibility for xp sp3 - no luck

tried compatibility for xp sp2 - no luck

still get "unable to create new document"

Does the zip file need to be unzipped anywhere in particular? I just want to rule that one out.
[HTC Hurricane] SilentlyScreaming:
Where are you unzipping the files to? Only thing I can think of right now that might be Win7 related might be that some folders are protected, like if you put something within program files (and /program files x86 if Win7 64 bit I think). That said, I think run as admin would stop that being an issue.

Can we re-check the obvious.

Have you deleted the original files you downloaded, and re-downloaded them again?

Is the error message that mentions not being able to create a new doc something that looks like a generic Windows message, or is it an error message/text from within the SPVServices program internally?

Are you definitely running the program once it has been extracted, or just double clicking from within WinRAr/WinZip/7-zip
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
SPVservices needs a web-service for the decoding of the encrypted block. This is no more available since about a year. Look up the "Lokiwiz" tool that can do it locally. Mind that wrong use could make the device unusable for any SIMcard, so be careful.
[HTC Hurricane] SilentlyScreaming:
Ahhh, sorry for the wild goose chases then Jurdz.
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
Thanks for the help guys. I did find the lokiwiz stuff and tried that too. However on running that, it said that it couldnt copy or update itsutils.dll. So I cant go any further until thats done.

As a matter of info, on the tri-color screen on my phone the info is :

RED

Hurricane

IPL 1.00.15

GREEN

Hurricane

SPL 1.00.84

BLUE

Hurricane
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
You need to application unlock the device first.
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
Glad it worked now for you :-)

Can you tell more about the error message that the "format BINFS <value>" has given you? On the Tornado you can actually balance the space used for the OS image with the available storage space on the device. This can be done in 1MB increments and needs to be as big that the whole OS-IMG can be held - thus usually wasting a few 100k.

If this works also on the Hurricane, there could be efforts to minimize (or at least optimize) the OS Image size to best fit the available space.

either decrease size by removing items you do not want to the next lower MB

or add up items there to fill the space of the current allocated space
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
I didnt get an error message after typing in Format BINFS.

The error message

+StorageInit

CMD55 failed

appears after typing in Info 2.

When i tried Format BINFS it either did nothing or displayed help information relating to the formatting of the command and suggestions for the 8 digit hex value.

I tried various combinations of the hex value but none of them workd. I should really have made a note of what I tried, but I decised to just go ahead and update the rom instead, which worked.

One more thing i should point out is that after I completed the process and reboot the phone I get two messaged on the tMobile boot screen:

Clean Hive(1)

Format Par(2)

If I just ignore these the phone boots up as normal. If I accept these (by pressing 1 for the first message and 2 for the second) the phone still boots up as normal. Either way, the phone works fine. But the two messages appear each time I boot the phone, no matter what I do. No big deal, I just ignore them.
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
splash screen update

By the way, 2 other points/questions

1.

I assumed that by making the phone SuperCID that I would be able to use any sim card? I can still ONLY use TMobile. This procedure then does NOT actually unlock the phone?? Is this correct?

2.

Is there any utility to replace the horrible TMobile boot up screen with another one, say a HTC screen or something else?
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
The error is normal:

+StorageInit

CMD55 failed

I think it just tells that you have no SD card inserted that is recognized.

The format BINFS should work if you do not give parameters. It tells:

...formatting BINFS

finished

Does it not work at all - or only not accepting any size value (also not those it suggests with the error message)?
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
SuperCID only allows to load any SW to device (also not matching SW to brick the device). It does NOT SIM-Unlock the device. The Lokiwiz tool can do that as well, however. Please be VERY carefull with this.

make sure to save the two lock-backup.bin and the CID-unlocked.bin that have already from the CID Unlock. Best is to append the IMEI of the device to their name (*#06# gives the IMEI).

remove these from the lokiwiz directory

call lokiwiz and use the unlock option ("U" I think).

you get another set of the *.bin files, where the lock-backup.bin saves the previous state of the device (CID unlocked) and the other represents the current state of the device.

Using the first (original) lock-backup.bin represents the initial state of the device and could restore its original state.

The lokiwiz deals with the "encrypted block" that holds CID and SIM lock data. If this block is spoiled (e.g from another device) - it will refuse ANY SIM and you get the strange message "data crashes, please contact your service center" when inserting any SIM.
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
It didnt work at all. With OR without the hex value.
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
Thanks for the info. May give it a try soon.
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
Maybe you HAVE to have a memory card in the phone for Format BINFS to work??
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
If the command is not known in the SPL, then you get an error of course. I wonder where the advice comes from to enter the command "format BINFS" in the scope of updating the Hurricane then?

The SDcard is not important, the BINFS is the partition that holds the OS in the device.

Regarding the bootsplash: This is located in another partition of the onboard filesystem. Search for the latest NBFUtils. There are options to change the bootsplash on the fly. You have to choose the "Tornado 240x320" option there - it only offers Typhoon and Tornado. Read it first and see if it works before you write a new BMP there.

There are surely threads about changing the boot splash around here at XDA.
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
Just another query folks, and I dont know if you already know about this one (dont get me wrong, im not whining about it)

Ive set the locale to English US and applied the T9 English.

If you go to contacts and then straight to menu then the last menu item (7 if there are no contacts, or 8 if there are contacts) is still in chinese?

Well at least the first tw and last two characters are chinese wit "IP" in the middle??

There als was another screen with chinese writing on it but I lost it and cant remember how I got there.
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
still bits of chinese?

I found the other screen that still has chinese on it.

start tping a number to dial and press the menu key.

one word of warning - I did a factory reset to see if this would get rid of the chinese sttuff.

Phone would NOT get past the boot screen after that. I went into mmty utility and just loaded the 413.bin file again. That restored it fine and dandy, still supercid and still unloacked. phew

chinese stuff is still there though!
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
SIM Unlock and CID Unlock data (just like the IMEI) are stored at a part of the ROM that is not written by any normal flashing. It is called "encrypted block" (64k) and the lokiwiz batch file with itsutils and other tools (compiled perl script) treat this.
[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
different rom

Hi guys.

is there another wm6.rom i can use to flash the hurricane with?

the one in this tutorial still has too much chinese stuff left over in it even after changing the lcale, language and installing t9 english.

I just went to the calculator and bothe menu selections were in chinese!

There is no way i could sell the phone with all the chinese stuff stil in (some of) the menus.
[HTC Hurricane] oruchimaru11:
thx dude

THX DUDE I JUST FKED UP MY HTC Hurricane :mad: i done all the steps but nothing just white screen
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
Sad to read that - this is the usual thing happening when you flash a wrong IPL/SPL to the device. There is no way back (unless you know how to JTAG - and I don't know anyone who does) - if the wrong SPL is loaded.

Which SPL did you load to the device? How did it happen (which step)?

You need to know that the process described here is for devices that already have at least a WM5 onboard - and if you only dealt with loading the OS image - then the SPL (even an old one) should still be intact (no brick!).

What happens when you try to get to bootloader mode?

- switch off

- press and hold camera

- switch on or connect charger/USB

-> White screen or three-color?
