Faq

Hey Chris: You are right and I appreciate the facilities that are on this site and the extraordinary work of TPC & others like yourself.

But it seems clear that the original poster had found the FAQ and tried to flash by SD (he said he had tried). But it did not work for him - he must have misunderstood some of the instructions.

Some users need extra help at times - especially at the first. I am very comfortable with the Tilt and how to customize it. But when my Tilt was out of commission, I pulled the old Wizard out & decided to jump over to the Wizard forums and see what they had to offer. I found myself asking NEWBIE questions there. So, it is not just being technically proficient - or even being able to read the FAQ. The methods & jargon that we use are often foreign to new comers.

That is why my site is different from the faq. It is more point-by-point, step-by-step. Easy to follow instructions that are worded so as not to confuse with overly technical terms.

This thread (and this entire forum) is so huge that many people find it extremely difficult to even know what terms to search for. And they do not understand the technical jargon that we use and understand. Again, my site just tries to simplify matters and make it straight forward so that most users can "cook book" their way through the basic concepts and jump from post 1-4 to post 7200 on THIS thread.

I am not trying to take over from XDA or this thread. (Couldn't if I tried.) I deeply appreciate the work that continues here. The references to my site are meant to keep the number of repeated posts down so that I can keep up and not miss some significant post myself.

In the terms of my old electronics days... I am trying to bring up the "signal to noise" ratio in here.

BTW: Every day, I have at least as many users click OUT from my site TO XDA as the number who come to my site FROM XDA. Example: yesterday, I had 4 users come from XDA but 8 left my site going to XDA. So, I assume that I am adding value to XDA.

Thanks for giving me an opportunity to explain myself. :D

Thanks again guys. Well this time I repeatedly did soft reset using power + camera + stylus, this was just to read a message which blinks and goes off: the message was "No Image file found" :( wondering where did I go wrong or what am I missing.

My question started from deletion of "Deblogger" folder (CPROG.log) and then battery drain issues started, till this time the device was superb as well as this ROM. One of the senior members suggested to change Radio and SPL, I ll give a third try tonite.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Markc2:
Assuming you're flashing a different radio off your SD card, it sounds like either the file is not on the SD card at all or does not have the proper name format. Also, I've found that you don't need to press power button as part of the reset process, just turn the phone on, press camera button, and press reset with stylus, should get you to the tri color screen. Alternately try flashing the radio through activesynch.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jrosario2269:
If you flash via SD make sure your sd card is formatted to FAT32:)

Your file should look like this "kaisimg.nbh"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rvbhatia1:
Great, I give up.

The existing Hard SPL in device is: 3.29.

Steps READ/UNDERSTOOD/FOLLOWED and EXECUTED.

While trying from PC, I get ERROR 260 (connection) in the RUU exe.

doubts about incorrect file or file name:

I have downloaded the files for SPL 3.34 and Radio 1.70 from PAGE 1 of TPC Elite thread. Steps explained failed.

Tried to format (FRESH FLASHING) of ver 11 mega:

USing the same bundle used around 2.5 months back. Steps explained failed.

Both the paths/attempts give one message (blinks and goes off) : No Image file found, this happens for SPL (3.34), Radio (1.70), TPC v11 ROM.

Overall exercise failed.

Guys one last question where none of the FAQs, TIWIKIs, BLOGs fail: Can this all your exercises from Fresh formatting of OEM to Custom built ROM formatting can be done on VISTA machine or I have to invest in one more laptop. Secondly if your answers are NO then please clarify that can activesync work on VIRTUAL PC or VMWARE. Sorry to say: I got firings that FAQs are not read but please mention some of the above points, they are helpful.

Thanks

Try hard spl 3.29.Hard2 it is specially designed for flashing via sd

I was using Vista Ultimate 64 bit with no issues in flashing (until I started flashing from SD card) or activesynch. Presently using Windows 7 64 bit with no activesynch issues, but haven't tried flashing yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Restorer:
Oh dear. Have you heard of others having problems flashing in 64-bit? I was going to be upgrading to W7 64-bit next week but I'll stick with 32-bit if this is a common issue :confused:.

I just upgraded to Titanium Ultimate 23053 and noticed it's back.

Do I need to worry? or is everything fixed?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Markc2:
I haven't checked into it much but I think the references I've seen to Win 7 have all been good, flashing wise. I actually liked Vista 64 bit quite a bit and like Win 7 64 bit a lot more. It's worth the switch even if for some reason it means you always have to flash from SD card, small price to pay, but I doubt you'll have any issues. When I was using Vista 64 bit I NEVER had an issue flashing via activesynch. I've been on 23071 uncompressed and haven't had a reason to flash anything else since, so..... my 2 cents.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jaysbarbq:
No probs so far

Just wanted to give you some feedback.

I've been using this rom for the past week. I have no issues whatsoever to report! Just wish I found it a little easier to find what I'm looking for via the icons! But that's minor...

Can someone tell me how I can make the battery indicator appear as a percentage like in the images on Page 1 of this thread?

Thanks

Ive had no failures and ive been using windows 7 x64 since its beta days.

and I always flash via USB

and... im trying to develop my own ROM, which requires a lot of test flashing, (i use win xp mode for my kitchen work, ive never attempted cooking on win 7.)

So I would say there should be no issues with flashing in Win 7 X64 ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Restorer:
Phew! That's a relief :D.

I was on Vista Home Premium 64 bit before I got my launch party upgrade, and no problems flashing then either.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SuperSport:
I cook and Flash using Win 7 64 Bit. Only thing is when you run the Kitchen, you need to right mouse click the Program and select "Run as Administrator".

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

Question 1: The error you are reporting is the result of the expected filename.ext not being present on the SD card. Here are the instructions again (I posted this yesterday):

Download a custom rom.

Extract the rom into a folder and switch to view the folder contents

Copy the extracted ROM file (the extension will be .NBH & the filename is usually RUU_signed.NBH) to the ROOT of your SD card (cannot be in a folder) Also… It is NOT necessary that the SD card be otherwise empty. You can use the same card that you normally keep in the phone.

RENAME file (on the sd card) to: kaisimg.nbh (case is unimportant)

Put the SD card back into your phone

(With the phone turned on) press the camera button and insert the stylus into the reset hole. Hold both until the TRI-COLOR bootloader screen comes up and then release.

Follow the instruction on screen.

When the flash is completed, do a soft reset (press the stylus into the reset hole) and allow the rom to configure.

ALWAYS DO A HARD RESET. You must then follow the instructions on the screen. (To do a hard reset, press both soft keys and insert the stylus into the reset hole until a white screen appears, then follow the prompts. “Hard Reset” is also called “Clear Memory” in the Start Menu/Settings/System folder but this is not available at this point in the process of flashing.)

The most important issue for you appears to be to be sure that you complete #4: Be certain that you have the file located: Storage Card/kaisimg.nbh (MUST be on the root of the SD card).

I use Ubuntu Linux - You could use ANY OS if you flash the Kaiser using the SD card method. I sometimes flash my phone while sitting in the recliner with no computer anywhere around! You only need some way to download the xxxx.nbh files and transfer them to your SD card.:cool: See my sig for links to my entire series of posts on the Kaiser.

questions

i was wondering

a bunch of others roms have all the vibrations working idk if its my phone or not but they dont work in anything accept for notifications.

what im trying to say can you get vibrations for

- phone keypad, when it connects and disconnects

-possibly in and application touch response doesnt work

-my auto reply txt message doesnt work

-also is there a way to get the battery to only appear on homescreen so like clock apears everywhere else

-does any one know how to inncorporate palm messaging (much faster txt program) into manilla???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
Same here Vista 64 with no issues cooking/flashing, had to turn off advanced network connection on phone but that's all ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rvbhatia1:
Thanks again, I have tried this around 10-11 times with Radio, SPL, ROMs (custom and OEM) no sucess same messsage.

The SD card is fat32.

the said file(s) is copied/pasted in root of SD card.

Renamed as per suggestion.

I m wondering after copying the 103 MB image file (RUU_signed.nbh renamed to kaisimg.nbh) to SD card why the "No image file found" message?

Also I tried to flash back to WM 6.1 HTC ROM upgrade from their site, I get ERROR 260 (USB method).

Dont know what to do, my phone is screwed up as it gets drained in 2-hours. All thanks to Deblogger .... which not thought by the cooks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
Please ensure no KAISDIAG.nbh (leftover from flashing SPL) is there, otherwise you'll have issue.

Another possibility is your Kaiser fail to read SD during flash. Some hardware have this problem .. (I have a friend on Hermes having this problem. The same card put into other Hermes result in good flash).

I suggest you post this problem flashing (USB or SD) on the FAQ thread for 'not able to boot' run by DaveShaw or 'flashing for noob' by mskip. I don't agree it's the Deblogger issue. None of us having problem with it other than getting the space fulled up and then we simply remove it.

Last thought: did you try flashing the OEM ROM using SD method?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rvbhatia1:
Yes dear, I ve tried

1. OEM ROM (USB and SD method)

2. Custom ROM (USB and SD method)

3. SPL and Radio (USB and SD method)

KAISDIAG is only with SPL for other tries I had deleted this file in SD method.

hey guys got 2 problems help please

i have updtae this rom working great

but the volume is low even when i put it max volume still lower than i know

and how can i get speed dial by voice

yes I can also confirm I've been using windows 7 for a couple of months now 64 bit, and flashing with no problems..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Restorer:
Duh. Yeah of course. Not sure then why some are saying 64-bit might be a problem. Maybe I misunderstood what they meant :confused:. As you say OS is irrelevant to the actual flashing from card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] caderyn19:
So as i posted before I love this ROM. I figured out my battery situation, but now I'm haing screen (and keyboard aparently) problems... When I'm running an application, I'll notice every now and then that the Messaing window will come up, and then the scren flips over. I have my Advaced Config set for only one landscape orientation, but it seems that isn't helping...

To assist with diagnocing this i've also noticed that sometimes I'll tap something, like a key on the screen keyboard and the letter below or a soft-key will react. I align my screen every week, and whenever I notice this happening I'll align it again, but it doesnt help too much...

Also, how do I speed up my hardware keyboard so letters don't skip lik hey are while I'm typing this... lol

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know that manilla isn't setup to support landscape, and i'm not talking about when i'm on the home screen. I'll be using Opera and the messaging window pops up for no reason and flips the screen over. Or, I'll get a phone call and the screen flips over. I'm thinking of switching back to 6.1 because this screen cr@p is ridiculous. I can't type with my finger on PCM keyboard, the screen flips over, and the alignment gets more and more messed up as the day goes on...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] TronC:
Hello Guys, Question here..

I installed the rom (loaded version) on my friend's Kaiser.

Everything works fine on it, good rom :)

But..

When he turns of the device, and then boot up again, the device starts up with the stylus configuration screen, and then ask for time and timezone, so obviously it hard resetted itself after its turned off.

Does anyone know the solution of this? (sorry if asked before, no time to look through all those pages)

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I just flashed this rom 23053. Before i was using this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=507281

The previous rom v11 gave me problems of the Today, Contacts not showing up sometimes and sync not working. So i try your rom. Although your rom responds faster, i liked the layout of the previous rom more. Is it possible to get that layout somewhere and use it with the cpr changer?

Thanks for the info.

I agree Chris. Especially knowing how much time Shane has devoted to answering all our questions and making this ROM the best it can be, and all the time Zelendel has spent on FAQs. Don't mean to leave anyone out, but those are the two main people I think of immediately as far as making this thread informative, and user friendly. The least someone using it can do is READ.

hello, I have searched but have not seen anyone else ask this question. I have an AT&T tilt that has everything stock on it still, nothing has been changed. Do I still need to flash the a stock rom before flashing v11?

Thanks!

taz
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mr. Megiddo:
I think flashing stock is done to mimic a full hard reset.

I've personally only flashed stock once before flashing a cooked ROM but it's recommended to do it every time you're going to flash.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Markc2:
I like what Megiddo says. If it were me, I'd just do a hard reset, without flashing stock first, in order to wipe it clean, then flash the preferred radio, then the rom.

Edit- the first time I flashed a radio after stock, my screen was spaghetti and unusable, but I could still synch to the PC, so flashing via activesynch still worked.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Restorer:
Well thankfully most people still take the advice of those actually cooking the 6.5 ROMs and not yours :rolleyes:.

90% of the problems reported in this thread are from people who didn't flash stock ROM first. Nobody seems exactly sure why but a hard reset with 6.5 still seems to leave stuff behind which interferes with the new flash. As with problems in general it depends somewhat on which software you have installed in the past.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Restorer:
Why not try the one recommended by the guy who cooked it :rolleyes:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Barkleyfan:
Flashing stock first eliminates alot of bugs left over from cooked roms. Flashing stock rom first would eliminate easily 1 in 10 posts in this thread. The unexplained hard resets people have been complaining about are one of the issues that are resolved by flashing a stock rom first. It takes 10 extra minutes, and if you do it,

you've at least eliminated that as a cause

before reporting bugs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Markc2:
I don't get you.:confused: He ALREADY has a stock rom, the original stock rom, installed, he's never flashed before. What's the point in flashing a stock rom on top of a stock rom? Otherwise, if you have a cooked rom installed, of course you flash stock before flashing cooked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raywaldo:
To flash or not to flash

I understand where you are coming from and, at first thought, I agreed that a hard-reset should be all that is necessary.

But perhaps the answer lies in the relative value of the small amount of time to flash a stock rom first vs. the tremendous frustration if PERHAPS something is left from a previously installed app or such.

I think that given the number and severity of problems that people have reported here - and which were resolved by reflashing IAW the FAQ, it is ALWAYS worth-while to go the full route.

It is really bad news when you get the "random hard reset" issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Markc2:
No problem at all with what you're saying, I just didn't like the other posters response to me, he seemed to think the guy had a 6.5 already installed. I don't think he clearly understood the original post. I do agree that it can't hurt to flash stock even when starting with stock to have a really clean slate to start with.

I could not disagree more - one can move too fast.

Version 11 (CHOME) is the best that I have ever found for a phone - it can make your phone be a free router. It has EVERY SINGLE feature that I need and works bsolutely flawlessly.

I will amitthat I have my eye on the LEO, but it is 6 months away minimum. I think that I am HOPING that version 12 will be released on this phone, but if not - what I have will get me to the next phone when I am ready. Yes - it is quiet here - but itis GREAT here with his ROM.

Just one man's opinion.

Read how to do it right - it involves:
