Same here. Tried front ports and back ports with original HTC Sync cable in both Windows 7 and XP and still no dice. I just got another Ozone from an insurance trade and I will see if this one works any different.

Donations to whoever gets this solved.

EDIT: Same results with different phone from Verizon. Confirmed same SPL version also so I'm running out of ideas. If there were an official update or something I would test to see if that even flashes fine. I'm wondering if there isn't a batch that simply don't flash properly or if the HTC Sync driver we have is bad.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
Well, it won't work by flashing directly in boot loader because the JumpSPL has to temporarily lower the security level.

There is a way to verify that this is happening before you run the RomUpdateUtility. Search for nueTTY, run it

after

getting the blank screen on the phone and killing ActiveSync. If it connects, type the command 'task 32'. Should return level = 0.

If you don't have luck with mtty or nueTTY, also try qmat. Hardware Forensics -> Use Mobile Ports -> Modem Async. Start either USB or serial and type the command in the drop down box right below the set of buttons.

This is all I get when I run neuTTY:

Disabling RAPI...Already Stopped!

Searching for CE USB devices to connect...

No devices found to connect, aborting...

Not restarting RAPI because it was already disabled.

EDIT:

Now I am getting this:

Disabling RAPI...Success!

Press Ctrl+C to exit.

Cmd>task 32

Still waiting for a return code from neuTTY

EDIT 2:

Well finally something different.

neuTTY never worked, but the Rom updater finally gave me a success screen and the phone rebooted on it's own.

However, I ran "enterbootloader.exe" on the phone after and it is still the original SPL :(
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] d8tahead:
mine just stays at 0 for about 10 minutes then sends me to the recovery screen

edit 1: well now sometimes it will just jump to 100 and tell me SUCCESS!!... in just a matter of seconds.. but version has not changed
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] kkryptonyte:
Thanks for the suggestion, I probably read over using that to check a million times and never thought to do it myself.

Ran JumpSPL got nueTTY and connected to the phone. Ran "task 32" and it has been sitting for a couple minutes with no response. What could this mean, bug with phone or JumpSPL?

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] d8tahead:
i have ran nueTTY and qmat. with no success... hmmmm

trying yet again..

i disabled faster data mode for activesync.

not pressing anything on the phone when running jumpspl, i found when i do this i get the progress bar to show up on the phone, but usualy stays idle for 10 minutes at 0%

actualy now that i think about it, i cant see any buttons on the jumpspl screen.. well i cant see what the button says, i just see the top of the button
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
Yeah, I got that too with nueTTY even though someone else was able to make it work. Try downloading qmat instead, it worked for me when I just tried it anyway.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
Neither could I. I just pushed the center key to acknowledge it and then the screen went blank. Then I turned off Activesync and started the RUU.

EDIT: If you aren't pushing a button to blank the screen, it will just sit at 0% because the SSPL isn't active until you acknowledge it. Once the screen goes blank, turn off Activesync. Then you can either try qmat or try flashing again.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] kkryptonyte:
Ok, so I have no idea what finally did it, but after running qmat and checking the security level and getting "0" back I decided to try and flash HardSPL once more.

Well it flashed similar to before 0% then jump to 100%. I figured it was a no go, but checked the bootloader anyways. It read 0.39.Hard!

So I have no idea what I did different, I know I made sure not to press any buttons after saying ok to running JumpSPL and running qmat with the "task 32" command.

Best of luck to everyone else, if I think of anything else I did differently I will let you all know. Also make sure USB is UNCHECKED in Activesync as I noticed it was re-checked after a reboot. I actually unchecked it and left the program open, after hitting ok to the settings page of course.

Big thanks to l0newulf, don't know if "task 32" had any effect or not, but it works now. If you want to PM me your Paypal I would be happy to send you a donation for your help.

Good luck.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] d8tahead:
erm, well this is getting to be a pain in the ass lol

let me check and see what my version says now..

39.0000

DAMN!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] brent372:
I will be trying qmat tomorrow.

So once the HardSPL is flashed how do you go about changing the HTC splash screen?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
The task 32 command was something jocky mentioned earlier in the thread. I figured if you could get it that far with a level 0, it has to work.

PM sent.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
If you drop by the other thread, you can download a program that will convert a BMP to a flashable format. If you replace your converted splash with the one included in the thread (I believe the filename is splash.nb), and run RomUpdateUtility.exe from your PC, it should work. That is

after

you get HardSPL installed.

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
If you want to PM me the exact steps you are doing, I can try to figure out why the SSPL isn't running. If the SSPL doesn't run, it may or may not flash but it won't take in either case.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] necron99:
i seem to be having a pretty common issue where the progress bar suddenly jumps from 0 to 100% but nothing changes
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] d8tahead:
okay, well

i did everything as normal, except when i went to jumpspl and ran that, i disabled usb connection in active sync

then i loaded up qmat and followed those steps.

it returned

"

task 32

No card inserted Level = 0

Cmd>

"

then i did the rom update utility, and it gave me a " ERROR 260 CONNECTION "

saying it cant connect to the device

EDIT:

WORKED!

okay,

1. i went and did the clear storage ( factory defaults ) on the device. ( dont know if it was necessary )

2. placed "enterbootlaoder.exe" in the windows dir of device ( dont know if it was necessary )

3. ran the auto.bat

4."Okay'd" jumpspl, then didnt touch anything on the device

5. followed on screen directions with the Rom Update Utility. and went from 0 - 100% in about 30 seconds or less

6. ran enterbootloader.exe, and confirmed the success of the update 0.39.HARD
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
I replied to your PM, but I see you got it working. Good job.

Maybe if I'm bored I'll do a screen cap later if I get time later since a few people had trouble.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] necron99:
i put enterbootloader.exe into my windows directory and executed it after running the auto.bat file and going through the rom update utility, which went from 0 to 100% in about 8 seconds

mtty returned level = 0 and no card inserted

also when i run the rom update utility it doesn't list a current image version and says that i'm upgrading to rom version 1.0000.0000 or however many digits follow the one

jump spl is installed on my phone i think just in mydevice if that makes any difference
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
You shouldn't have to move any files anywhere. Once you run auto.bat, it should copy the SSPL to the phone, run it on the phone, kill Activesync, you activate it on the phone, and the RUU should work.

If you're getting a security level 0, it almost has to work.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] brent372:
Any idea where I can get a verision of QMAT that isnt infected with a virus?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
Avast never gave me a warning about it. If you are unsure, viperbjk is the one who created it.

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] brent372:
I have PM'd him about it.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] d8tahead:
found that it wasnt copying the boot loader over, i would allways delete the files it created on my ozone after an unsuccessful attempt.

1.i put it in the windows dir.

2.ran it from my file explorer on the phone.

3.seen that the phone was still 0.39.0000.

4.took out the battery, and replaced it.

5.proceeded to run auto.bat after the phone rebooted and had connected with activesync.

and yeah, my previous post has the other steps i took.

but it worked.

but i would like to point something out.. everyone is expecting it to take about 10 minutes, when infact it has only been taking about 10 - 40 seconds to go from 0 - 100% with peoples successful attempts. so if it does to you, check your version after it claims to be done in just a matter of seconds.

mine was doing the same exact thing. so no worries to people that are seeing that and assuming its not going to work. it will. just keep retrying.

maybe someone can pull together all the information and steps people have found to work, and have them be added on one of the first posts on this topic.

EDIT.

also i was successful at flashing the HTC Splash screen, i now have a nice new custom splashscreen for my ozone.

im not going to be updating to WM6.5 just yet, because of all the bugs its giving people, but maybe i will later on today just so i can help find bugs and possibly provide fixes for them.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] necron99:
just to clarify, it worked when you ran enterbootloader and ran auto.bat?

because if i run that bootloader program the screen it returns says something like .39 hardspl (i don't remember it exactly, i did it late at night under the influence fo lack of sleep and a little grass), but the version listed under my device info lists the rom version as 1.12.605.30

does that mean i was still unsuccesful or am i confusing something?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] d8tahead:
it seems like it worked for you,

my device has the same info, and i was able to flash a custom splash screen to my ozone

but i would run the bootloader then restart the phone, and run auto.bat
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] necron99:
doesn't sspl let you execute arbitrary code too though?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
If you were running auto.bat, it should copy the files over each time to the root directory. Not a bad idea to delete them each time in case something happens.

Right. It's not like you are flashing the whole ROM (which still only takes maybe 5 minutes). It went right to 100% at about ten seconds for me.

I was thinking about making a video today, but I had other things to do. Since alot of people were asking about the splash screen too, I suppose I could do that too.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] necron99:
did the rom version change for you when you went into settings and looked up device info?

d8ta was telling me it probably worked, but i'm reluctant to try anything with it since nothing really seems different
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] mike t:
I have unlocked the gsm part of the ozone to use an att prepaid sim if I flash it will it lock back?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
No. I actually bought an Ozone because I have AT&T now but am switching to Verizon when my contract is up in the next few months. I've flashed multiple times and still can use my SIM in it.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
It should. The thread that ookba made has the version string in its title. At least that is what mine matches when I look in Device Info.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] necron99:
i mean does it change when you flash hardspl successfully? this is my first shot at customizing a smartphone so i'm not too sure what to expect. i haven't tried flashing any roms on it yet

i just don't want to do anything without being sure it'll either work or i have some way out

edit: i checked out one of ookba's threads and tried turning on power with the - volume button held down and it returned the screen with

CEDA100

spl-0.39.Hard

MicroP-Cedar#W (LED) v58B

i placed the enterbootloader.exe file into my windows directory manually if that makes any difference...but i guess that it worked then?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
Yeah, the ROM version and bootloader version are two different things. You got the right idea with checking your bootloader version using VOL DOWN and END.

If you have 0.39.HARD, then you're good.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] necron99:
yay

i need to reinstall jumspl though. so now if i want to flash a rom i just need to doubleclick the romupdate utility?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
You can use JumpSPL. At least what I do though is turn off ActiveSync, and just go directly into bootloader mode and flash that way. Once you have Hard installed, the security checks are always bypassed, so no need to jump back to a hacked SPL to flash.

EDIT: So does anyone think we actually need a tutorial or has everyone who wanted to try figured it out? I don't mind doing what I can to help, but I don't want to waste my time either if it wouldn't serve a purpose.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] quimbola:
I still need help.

I have manually moved bootloader to windows. i have verified with QMAT level = 0?

All cards out. I still get nothing!!!

HELP!!!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
You really shouldn't have to move that file.

Where are you getting stuck exactly?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] quimbola:
Getting stuck.

Everything seems to complete, I get the bar completing and it resets, but every time I enter boatloader, I never get the "hard", it is always 0000.

Well, tell me the steps you are doing because it's weird how it flashes but doesn't error out or something.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] quimbola:
Ok, here are my steps.

Both cards out of the phone.

Did a hard reset just in case.

Reactivated using *228

Used SDA aplication lock.

Restarted phone.

Plug in phone. Establish active link connection.

Ran auto.bat in hardspl.

pressed enter until I got the black dscreen, I also hit ok on the phone before the black screen.

Ran qmat, ran task 32, got = 0 return message

Update came up on screen, update rom.

Progress bar comes up, after 20-40 seconds finishes and reboots phone.

Enter bootloader after pulling battery, spl = 0000.

Am i missing anything? I have done it about 40 times.

Thank you for any help.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
Did you disable Activesync after your phone went blank?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] tierrie:
I ran into a problem where it doesn't boot up after I click "OK" JumpSPL.exe

I'm using a Windows 7 64-bit OS.

Here's what I did.

1. Removed the SIM card (no SD)

2. Connected my device, waited until ActiveSync sees it

3. Executed auto.bat from an Administrator Privileged CMD

4. Any Key to Continue -> the device connection

5. Any Key to Continue -> the file transfer

6. Any Key to Continue -> execute the SPL

7. Prompt appears on Ozone

8a. I turn off Windows Mobile Device Center

8b. Instead of 8a, I also tried disconnecting the USB cable

9. Hit OK on the Ozone.

10. Device shuts off, does not turn back on.

I'm going to try to find a Windows XP machine around here...

Edit: Found a XP machine.... did everything the same, update successful...
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
I would try XP also for compatibility's sake. But, a few notes:

- don't disconnect the USB cable at all during the procedure

- when it 'shuts off', it really still is on, just the screen is blanked

Try what you did again, but keep going with the RomUpdateUtility after the screen blanks.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] quimbola:
I did not.

Active sync was disconnecting itself.

This time went to black screen, disconnected activesync.

Let the romupdate complete past the black screen.

Progress bar pops up, completes after 30 seconds.

Phone reboots.

Enter bootloader, and spl = 0000!

Maybe I am dumb!

Any help appreciated.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] l0newulf:
You unchecked Allow USB connections, correct?

Someone else had trouble when using Windows 7. What operating system are you using?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] quimbola:
I am using XP.

I have done it both ways.

Checked and unchecked. after the screen goes black. Still can't get it to hard spl.

i just ran the auto.bat on my new verizon ozone, bricked it. Im not a noob at this and i have been flashing for 4-5 years and i had the unlocker on. Luckily i had just bought the phone yesterday and returned it to the store for a brand new one.(not even refurb).

Anyway... because the ROM is basically unlocked already (aka install most apps) i only have to deal with a few bloatware apps (mail, vznav, VV) besides that its like every app i would want anyway....

in the end it might not be worth flashing this device in such a new stage... that is just my opinion

I've tried this several times, using various things I've read in these threads - and once I remember seeing the RUU actually showing a "From" version number, and the status bars showed up on both PC and Ozone. But same result - no "0.39.Hard". But every try since then shows no "From" version, and the Ozone status bar never shows up. I feel like I'm missing one little thing, but can't put my finger on it... ready to give up, unless someone else sees a clue in my procedure above.

Since it's a bad idea to try to delete these apps, I would just delete the shortcuts if you don't want to see them. Browse to \Windows\Start Menu using Resco or Total Commander. At least that's what I ended up doing.

I am now frustrated beyond belief. I have read and re-read every post in this thread and I think I've tried everything, multiple times - but still no go. I keep getting the SPL-0.39.0000 every time I reboot the device. At this point, I would be willing to pay for someone to walk me through this on the phone (any takers? send me a note at nwnative60@yahoo.com)

Since everyone else has been successful at this, there must be something I'm not doing, but that is taken for granted by others? Or maybe since I have a brand new Ozone, it has some new built in technology that prevents loading the HardSPL ?

Here goes one more time...

Removed SIM and SD cards

Booted up Ozone with VolumeDown-Send-Pwr to get Restore screen

Selected 1. VolUp to restore Manuf default

"Are you sure?" - Yes (Send)

"Restore complete" - VolDn to restart

Ozone reboots automatically > HTC splash, then Verizon splash, then Win6.1 splash...

Plugged stock USB cable into Ozone and WinXP USB2 port

ActiveSync setup wizard starts (unchecked all sync options for simplicity)

ActiveSync connected and synchronized OK

PC device list shows: Network Adapters > Windows Mobile-based device

Ran SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe - "Successfully unlocked, Reboot now"

Powered off Ozone, then powered back on

Did not disconnect USB cable; ActiveSync re-connects ok

Ran auto.bat

<enter> copied JumpSPL.exe

<enter> copied sspl-cedar-0.39.nb

<enter> Confirm screen - I hit Send button for Yes, then on JumpSPL v1 screen I hit the OK center button

Ozone screen goes blank

On ActiveSync > Connection Settings, I uncheck "Allow USB connections"

Verified PC device list: Windows CE USB devices > HTC USB Sync

In auto.bat window, I hit enter again to start the RUU

Hit standard check boxes on first few screens...

Hit Update button (from image version 'blank' to 1.00.000.0)

"Updating ROM" - 0 to 100% in 15 seconds

after 10 more seconds, Ozone rebooted automatically - "Congrats" screen on PC

Powered off Ozone

Powered back on with VolDn-Pwr buttons to get tri-color screen.

Still shows SPL-0.39.0000

What am I doing wrong??

Update: This is wierd... with the SIM card still out, I tried reprogramming with Verizon at *228 - and it worked. I can make calls too. So what's the SIM card for? Could there be a "soft" SIM programmed into the ROM? I definitely took out the one that says Verizon on it, with the clipped corner.
