V8 bricked Phone - advice please?!

Hi,

I was running V6 and yesterday flashed to V8. I didn't flash a stock ROM first (never had any problems until now) and the Flash appeared to go okay. I customised it, added Tomtom7 and gAlarm. Last night I set the alarm and went to bed. This morning the phone had frozen and appeared to be off. Had to press rest button. At this point it gets stuck on the screen which displays

r 1.70.18.02

g 25.83.40.02H

D 3.TPCElite

I've pulled the battery, hard reset a few times, but it won't get past this screen! help!

It won't even make an activesync connection for me to try another flash. Can anyone give me some guidance on what I could try to unbrick my phone!?

the bootloader screen displays

KAIS130

SPL-3.28.Hard

CPLD-8

**update**

ok so here's what I tried next; Put the phone into bootloader mode (to get the spl details) and I connected to PC using usb cable. the phone changes from 'serial' to 'usb' - so I think I'll try to flash again. Flash was successful, but again it won't get past the boot screen (as above)

next I try to flash using the sd card. Used the v8 ROM, renamed to KAISIMG.nbh and flashed from the sd card. STILL won't get past the boot screen.

I'm stuck! Please help!

Regards,

Frankyg

I think it's time to flash with a stock ROM. Also use the recommended SPL (3.34 Hard by Dave) and Radio (1.70.18.02). To make it easier, stick with the SD card method.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Frankyg:
Ok, I was in the process of downloading a 6.1 ROM from HTC as I read palmmanpalm's post. I've just flashed the stock HTC ROM (with my existing Hard 3.28 Hard SPL) and it's back up and running.

I'm gonna (bravely or stupidly!) carry on and flash V9! :-)

Thx,

FrankyG
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aoku.yasashiku:
just remember

SD Card method is safer

and always flash stock rom before flash cooked one

and also always hard reset after flashed any rom (official or cooked). do hard reset when it prompt you tap your device for the first time.

anyone know how to control the size of the + in the screenshot?

it was normal size in all roms before v7 but now?:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kovacszj:
Hi Anagarika, you should check every .dll file because in TPCs' ROM are different than in other ROMs. I made my own set of icons (with correct .dll files for TPC ROM: shellres.96.dll, tapres.96.dll etc) which worked with previous versions of TPCs' ROMs since V7 it doesn't.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aoku.yasashiku:
yes... i also want to know how to change it back to its normal size.....

dunno why in v7 v8 and v9 has that size...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SkywalkerPD:
Maybe dumb question, but how did you get the clock like that?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
This new size is causing HouMing File Explorer Extension cannot show image on File Explorer .. No big deal though .. I can view it some other way, and actually like the new size better ..

@kovacszj,

Got it. Have to check at home .. what tools do you use to modify dll?

What version of BBC did you install? I installed 4.0.0.103 and it kills the radio. Can't make or accept calls. BBC works fine though. Glad to see these ROMs have the multi data connection hack.

Well Mr TwoPumpChump, I would like to congratulate you on a superb rom, flashed many over the last two weeks to see which rom is best, And I just love v9 M2D, its a keeper for me, its the first rom i can see in the bright sunlight :)

Regards, Gary
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kovacszj:
Yes TPC, I agree with biggary. I never thought I ever be able to use a ROM better than your V5.1 full:D

Hi,

First I would like to thank you for a suberb ROM!

I like it very much! Except the used keyboard. The keys are really small :p is it possible, to install another keyboard?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
those bigger sizes there and in file explorer are just part of the changes microsoft is making for the new 6.5 :) these are test builds, im sure they will be making them look better in the future.

i have said it over and over again, im not going to answer these questions anymore.....if you cant follow the instructions to flash my rom then DONT POST YOUR PROBLEMS HERE.

you can install whatever keyboard you like, look for fingerkeyboard in my cabs folder :) glad yall like the rom, let me know if you find any real bugs ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] arjen888:
Is there an cab of your M2D? because I only want to test it and I dont want to flash a new rom and I am already on V9. The rom is really fast and responsive ;). Many thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
sorry i dont have a cab of my m2d....but if you flash the full version you can have both the chome and m2d :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SkywalkerPD:
Thanks! Much better now!

Cannot delete ROM files

My bad. :o You are correct that files (eg., theme files) cooked into the ROM cannot be deleted. I just ASSUMED that they were deleted but when I went back to check, they were still there. Sorry. But it is all a moot issue now with V9 out! <grin>

I have not yet d/l V9 but I am going out now... Let you guys know what I find later.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raywaldo:
M2d

That is the M2D interface. If you download the FULL version, then go to settings - today & click on the ITEMS tab. Then click on the TouchFlo item. The "windows default" (which is chome/titanium) will UNclick and when you OK, it will change to the Manila/M2D interface.

Messaging crashes and SMS being sent to "1"

Just wanted to verify that v9 fixes the messaging crashes and the SMS messages being non-sendable (always going to 1) that existed in v8.

Thanks in advance!

sms problem

couldn't find it :S sorry! :P

But i doubt a little bit that this is the problem, i have even innstalled the original norwegian file that htc announce on thier site! and this is the one ive had before i started flashing. It doesn't work with my other simcard, using another provider, so it is something with the phone. im a newbie, and doesnt know if it has something to do with it, but tried hardspl it back to the one ive had before, so everything should work as before? could this happened when flashing? still getting the cannot send sms message...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Philux:
I think it is supposed to look that way. The new era of finger friendlyness.

TPC only little thing I can find (and this is carried over from previous versions) is when you go to clocks and alarms and check display clock in all programs (on title bar) it shows the clock all the time. Normally it should show battery on Today then clock in all other programs. No biggie just thought I would let you know. Great job as always and thanks.

P.S. Josh keeps sending me PM's with pics of your mom and WOW!!!! Needless to say I have a new wallpaper!!

:D :D :D :D :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Pisca:
Well what can I say about V9 (Chome only)?

Another brilliant ROM, flashed, costumized, working perfect, GPS tested on the road ok,

Thanks TPC
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
that is normal for 6.5 im pretty sure, let me know if you flash someone else's rom and its not that way. i have a regedit included in rom because of a problem with the clock showing all the time it prevents it ;) its a problem with the later builds sorry. those pics are really josh's mom, she is bringing me lunch now and then a we are gonna have a nooner :)

yeah about the gps, this morning i tried just turning on the new google maps included in the rom(i forgot to mention its new lol) and from inside my house i had gps lock within 20-30 seconds :D and that was right after a soft reset. i think i may have gotten this one right with the hybrid, all these newest builds take a freakin week to figure out how to fix everything :( will see if any bugs show up.

i didnt know you had a kaiser...glad to see you are flashing my rom :D i used some of your work on this version, the audio manager plugin i believe came from you and maybe some other stuff not sure. about the new slide panels, those showed up with builds 21925 and 21928, but the builds were soooo buggy were pretty much unusable so i figured out what files to exchange and made a hybrid rom with best of both worlds :) im always needing some help with chome i may hit ya up sometime you do great work ;)

TPC:

As usual, quality work. The time and effort you put into your releases help us enjoy our devices in more ways than the f'ing manufacturer or wireless carrier ever even attempted to do. May be time for me to head to the donation altar again....

My only question is: Is it possible to have the ultra-smurfy Start bar found in abu's v7 in this, or a future, release? I really liked how that added some oomph to the Today screen.

Sure, it's not for everyone, but it's certainly my preference. Is there a cab which can add that look or is it so intertwined in the ROM itself that it's either there or it's not?

Thanks,

J
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I've been using your ROM since Ver 6.1. Some nice work there. I'd be happy to give any help I can. Feel free to PM me when/if the time comes up.

EDIT: Oh yeah I was the one who Ported the HTC Audio manager Plugin. I didn't make it though. I just had an Excalibur & ported out the layouts/registry for it. That's how I figured out how all these custom plugins work & why we now have so many. I was also the one who got the Settings plugin working. On the early builds it was completely broken as it was originally made for smartphones & ppc's handle the settings differently.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] papichulothrawn:
Hello drkfngthdragnlrd,

Can you post or point to the link of the taskbar cab(s) you are using. It looks great.

Thanks in advance.

-RCG
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You can find it here. I just updated it actually. Be warned the Vista Orb is smaller. I made a custom theme for the large orb. the orb in those screen shots are part of the bar image itself. I just made the icon full transparent. There's also a newer version of the Task Manager in that thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Philux:
LMAO!!! That was great. I think Josh said it best for next quote as far as regarding the clock and battery issue.

Flashing other roms now just to test. If I find anything relevant I will let both of you know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] papichulothrawn:
Excellent. Installed. Beautiful.

Thank you!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
are you talking about the honeycomb style start menu? if so there are cabs all over xda for that :) wont have abu's icons but will be the same layout.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] IronManDS:
No, sir. I'm talking about the actual Start BAR, itself - the bar that runs along the top and bottom of the screen. The Start bar in abu's ROM has that semi-3D look to it. It's raised and glossy, as opposed to flat and, well, flat :)

Thanks,

Replace Images as need. CPR's are linked to these files names. Copy all into \Windows...

Anyone, what radio and HardSPL are you using with V9?

The one suggested in the FAQ
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raywaldo:
neotitanium

Is your neotitanium theme compatible with TPC's v9? Are there any other mods that need to be done to make it work? Will it work with just the chome version or do we need the full version that contains m2d?

If it works with these roms, I may be a chome convert!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
im sure drkfngthdragnlrd can explain using his plugin better than i can, but i want to add that in order to use any other plugin you must install the default titanium cab located in the tpc tweaks folder in my documents ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tiger.woods:
K, gotcha just making sure its being maintained...

Assuming I'm already running both do I need to reflash with stock rom first?

Thanks,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] drkfngthdragnlrd:
It works, not additional mods needed unles you want other plugin that aren't part of the ROM. My zip includes the CMultiClock Cab, NeoTitanium Cab, My Theme cab, Alternate Clock Skin Cab (The B&W Clock as M2D), etc. Install what you want. M2D is not needed. There'll be some minor differences from the current release though as my latest screen shots have more work done to the cpr's I am still testing & will come out in a later release. Also, make sure you download the CPR's for 1.0a. There's a minor fix in those & they need to be manually copied in after installing NeoTitanium.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I did not install that btw lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
weird...the reason i say that is this. in order for people to have a choice of my chome or default, i re-name my cpr to tpc_titaniumxxx.cpr and leave the default cprs(titaniumxxx.cpr) in rom and only use reg edit to change between them. normally the plugins will install to titanium.cpr and not to mine because of this....weird.

ps...maybe we can work together on a version of your plugin and have choice of mine or yours in next version :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] drkfngthdragnlrd:
That'd be why, I did the same thing & I add layouts manually as I find new plugins. I haven't added CDigiClock or CAnalogClock though. I don't see much need as CMultiClock is both in one basicly.

My skin uses Neo & NeoAnalog_*.cpr

EDIT: Oh yeah, I'd be happy to make a special version for you. I already been talking with both zelendel & MSD24200 about them both wanting to use my NeoTitanium. I really don't care what people do with my work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
I can second it Shane. When I was running this I just installed it on the rom as is. I never changed chome.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
yes now i know why he has a different name for his cprs as well :p we will get together and do a version of neo-titanium for future :) and users will have the choice of which they want to have :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] IronManDS:
I'll do that. But, every theme I used with abu's latest had the curved bars. Even older ones that I lifted from TPC's ROM's and stuck on my memory card because I dug 'em.

Soooo, naturally, I assumed that it was part of the ROM, not just the themes.

J
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] drkfngthdragnlrd:
It depends on the Theme. Most theme makers leave the filenames alone & just change the images. As you select a new theme it'll overwrite the old images & if you change to a theme without images, it'll used the old ones. That's why i made my theme to use it's own images. They have different filenames so all other themes go unchanged. A lot has changed with Themes in 6.5. It now requires you to cab up your TSK with your images if you are changing them. The user them installs the cab & pics the theme from today settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rkub:
That would be sick...lol Like another new phone... Lovin V9 Shane, got everything installed and it's working beautifully. I can't find a single thing wrong. Had a problem w/ the contacts button in the dialer on my last few flashes but thought it was just from bad flashes and looks like I was right since the probs are all gone now... Thanks again!!

well i may be having second thoughts on adding another chome, because now i remember what happened last time i did that. this thread turned into a theme thread and not a rom thread, and im not going to have that happen again :) if i do decide to do it, no questions regarding the theme will be allowed in this thread....but i can say that untill im blue in the face but it will still happen. so i doubt i add another theme besides the one i know how to fix if something is wrong, his theme is good work and i recommend you guys go to his thread and try it. i just got my new fuze today, and im not going to have enough time to deal with any other issues than the ones i currently have lol sorry.

AudioPara4.csv volume files unusbale in last 2 ROM's

You claim in the instructions you can copy this file over the top of the one that is in the ROM in the Windows folder. Really!!! Please advise how when Total Commander cannot remove the Read Only, Hidden or System attributes that have been set on the file!! I remove them, hit on the OK button and go back and they are still there. With a read only flag I cannot remove I am not going to be able to overwrite it am I!!?? Also I cannot rename it either so really thes files are worthless. This has been the case with this ROM and the previous one! In version 7 all was fine so I am guessing you changed something. And before some says remove the tick box for ROM in TC! I cannot as it is greyed out unsurprisingly I guess! Any sensible ideas please?

Many thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
lol sorry i didnt know they were set to read only :o will change that for next version. if you hadnt have posted with your attitude and the !!!! everywhere i might have thought about fixing it now :) you need to remember that if you want something done, and you cant do it yourself...you better be nice to the one that can do it for ya ;)

I am having problems with the v8 Rom the last few days. Will try the v9 ROM later tonight. The first night I flashed the ROM, I left my phone locked at night while I slept and I woke up and the phone was frozen so I removed the battery and booted back up and had to do the screen calibration and everything again losing all my settings.

Later that day I got a text message and the phone wouldn't stop vibrating. It just vibrated for 2 or 3 minutes straight. Powered it off and powered back on and once again had to re-calibrate and lost all my settings.

Today, I just shut it off and turned back on to get a fresh boot and once again the had to calibrate and start from scratch and lost all my settings.

Besides these occassions with it losing all my settings and acting as if it is the first time the phone has been turned on, the new ROM has worked brilliantly for me.

I searched through several pages on this thread but didn't find anything and I just don't have time to read through all 300+ pages.

Thanks in advance.

Was the ability to have mutiple data connections omitted from V9 intentionally or am I missing something? Did discover that BBC 4.0.0.103 kills bluetooth HS for use in a call, but BBC 4.0.0.97 does not.
