[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rustafergi:
Some Answers and Info...Still Confused

Hi again,

Thanks to redbandana and pjcforpres for the responses...I thought I might not get anymore!

I'll start with pjcforpres,

First, my appologies if I have not been specific enough on my descriptions...I've been attempting to be more succinct (I'm not so good at that).

This was a Stock ROM Tilt, then I had flashed RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.14.09R2_Ship.exe quite awhile back...shortly after it was available.

I added Slither's Cube and the HTC Home Screen and Customizer and have run it that way since then.

Somehow, I got it in my head that I had flashed 6.1 but I was flat out mistaken...hence the comment in the earlier part of the thread.

Then we get to the #1 post in this thread...add some confusion and voila.

The ref'd 6.1 flash was also Stock...RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe...and I thought I read everything, incl that it replaces the SPL.

Durring the flash, it pauses @ 13%, the USB disconnect 'bing' sounds and the Bootloader screen reappears showing SPL-3.02.000.

Then, the USB reconnect 'bing' sounds, goes back to the % screen and then completes the flash successfully.

My Bootloader screen is now:

KAIS1*0

SPL-3.56.000

CPLD-8

So...did I miss something and screw up? Or was I on the right track?

And redbandana,

It did successfully flash 6.1, but it still doesn't start...specifically, get passed the initial AT&T Splash.

Although I had already thought of going to JockyW's HardSPL 3.29, I cannot 'see' the phone in XP and therefore cannot get JumpSPL onto it...so, no HardSPL (unless I missed something else in the threads).

It DOES however give me the USB 'bing' sound when I go into the Bootloader...but clicking on the "Mobile Device" icon in Windows Exploder leaves a 'blank' right pane.

Before your post, I had read up on MTTY and noted the DON'Ts...like DON'T use task 2a!...and found several threads with commands.

None of the info commands seem to fuction, like info 2, info 7 or info 8 so I don't have much 'info' there.

One of the things I tried was 'task 28' to format the thing in case there was some corruption...this was the response:

Cmd>task 28

Format start

Storage start sector=0xC2C0, total sector=0xF000

Storage start block=800, total block=960

Total Bad Block in CE: 1

Erase physical block from 1091 to 2032

formatstorage Bad block found: 1397

formatstorage Bad block found: 1398

si backup: Erase physical block from 2032 to 2048

Format end

So I looked for 'bad blocks' on the Forum and there are suggestions to contact JockyW and GSLEON3 for more help.

I haven't as yet done this thinking I can work my way through this by searching the Forum and monitoring this Post.

My searches for MTTY Commands have shown me that there are different Commands for different SPLs, and the info is way scattered and confusing.

It is becoming clear(er) to me that I have an issue that is not that normal...or at least not with an intermediate level 'fix'.

That's why I asked for more help in the right direction, I feel like I've hit this pretty hard and done alot of footwork on my own.

I also feel like I'm running out of options and may resort to bugging JockyW and GSLEON3...unless there are any more suggestions :D

PLEASE let me know if there is more info that I can provide to narrow this down, or some procedure to attemt, or an MTTY comand that will give us more info, or another search in the Forum for something specific I've missed...or simply some PFM that can be performed...and I'll be HAPPY to comply!

Thanks again...and again...for the assistance, my grattitude and appreciation out!
