I think there's a variation in USB ports and devices out there. Perhaps going into the PC's BIOS and setting USB to auto or SLOW (not USB 2.0) will make it work. I just emailed you.

Also, I noticed that using a USB hub somethimes makes it work as well. Weird. Even though they say not to use one. Only on the Cedar. Maple is flawless.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] nwnative:
Holy crap! I think we've done it!

I'm not sure if it was the combination of actions, or if it was just the Ozone finally giving in, but here is what finally worked...

I slowed down the USB transfer speed in my PC BIOS by disabling USB2, as suggested. At first, that didn't work - but then I ran JumpSPL directly from the Ozone (instead of using auto.bat), and then ran the RUU manually. And pow! SPL-0.39.Hard

Thank you Ookba and JockyW - donations forthcoming

I have been working on this for days with all the suggested configurations. When you remembered to "app unlock" the phone, what did you mean?

Thanks, Mark

Am I able to load this somehow when I can only get to the bootloader screen? I woke up this morning and I just get the bootloader screen, I was running the stock rom.

When I run the auto.bat it is unable to find the fine. If I just run the Romupdateutility, it finds the phone but sits on 0%, I assume because the SPL is still the original it is unable to copy the rom. Should I just take the phone back to verizon?

After reading on here I do want to update my rom though :)

Update:

Somehow I was able to get the phone booted and loaded the SPL now shows SPL-0.39.hard

Tried loading the cooked rom and it shows the progress and shows completed but just reboots back to the bootloader.

Problems flashing

I had a heck of a time trying to get my ozone to flash... Tried with linux, win xp, vista, I think there is something strange going on here... I successfully flashed hardspl today for the first time, not sure if all these steps are necessary, but they did work for me.

I'm using windows 7.

First i downloaded the RUU utility from the titan page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/RUU/RUU.rar and replaced the one in the ozone hardspl folder.

Then I started jumpspl from file explorer on the phone itself. Before (or after?) the screen went dark I went into Windows Mobile Device Center settings (activesync replacement) and unchecked every box there.

Next I opened up a command prompt in administrator mode by browsing to c:\windows\system32\ and right-clicking on "run as administrator"... From there I got into the directory where i unpacked the HardSPL (i.e. by typing "cd \Users\andrew\Desktop\Ozone HardSPL by JockyW") and then executing the rom updater by typing "ROMUpdateUtility.exe"

From there, i just followed the wizard. Hope this helps!

Hello everyone,

my HTC Ozone I can now boot my phone but only to the bootloader (HTC LOGO ). when i boot with down arow key pressed then It says CEDA100 Spl-0.39.0000. I was able to hook up my phone with a usb cable but was not able to run the romupdateutility that comes with the hardspl by jockyw package. When I try to run the romupdateutiliy, It does not see an image version that is currently installed and when I try to update the image, it changes my phone to a progress bar but never moves. After waiting some time, the update returns "Error 262 : Error updating".

Any help would be great.

thanks,

Wish I could say the same.....

well....been trying to upgrade to 6.5 and the hardspl for some time now to no avail. Everything runs, says it has updated successfully, but still spl.......help!

Read every post at least 3 times.

Tried every configuration mentioned.

Sometimes it goes all the way thru the progress screen, other times not and comes up with a connection error.

Nothing.

HTC Ozone trying to update with Windows XP Professional

It seems as maybe it is an issue with the HTC USB driver? Not wanting to stay connected once the activesync driver shuts off.......Any help would be greatly rewarded! Hear the USB disabled, then connected again, but it is only a general USB device....nothing specific to Windows Mobile Device or HTC.

Several unsuccessful attempts SPL, the first is: Can not Connect after black USB, run ROMUpdateUtility, Baocuo. The second is that brush SPL, the tri-color screen is displayed 0.39 0000, does not show 0.39 hard. I ask what are the solutions

By the way I´m running Windows on a Mac via VMware Fusion. Any help at all would be great, please. Also as many of you are saying, it doesn´t turn tricolor, it just goes black. I honestly don´t have access to a PC at this time so please help. I´ve spent hours trying this.

I flashed my ozone with hardspl which ran through the process fine, or at least I thought it did. After letting the device restart i tried installing a Rom which completed to 98% and then failed saying there was write error on the device. Upon reading through the forums i have come to realize that the device wasnt actually flashed with HardSPL, and that the normal bootloader was in fact still installed.... And now i cant install any roms or reflash the Bootloader it just sits at 0% completed until it times out. Is there any way i can force it to install HardSPL, or am i looking at a bricked device? I have access to another Ozone if that Helps at all. I realize this is definitely a user error, but any help is appreciated.

HTC OZONE

Can someone plase post up a video tutorial for this i really dont understand how to do this..it will be highly apreciated
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Jas0nMack:
I just spent about 6 hours today at work trying to get the HardSPL to take. I tried every combination in the world and this is what finally worked.

(I don't have this phone so I am going to butcher this a bit)

I used a Dell Optiplex GX50 running Windows XP and Activesync 4.5. The only change I

HAD

to make was in the phone under settings/connections/USB to PC I unchecked the box about faster activesync transfers and the machine had to be running USB at 1.1 speeds.

I tried every OS from Windows 7 x64, Vista x64, XP x86 and none worked probably due to all of them being Dell machines and the Phoenix BIOS which didn't allow changing the USB port speeds.

I hope this can help others that are going nuts over the flash not taking. Once I finally got the one to take with that method I flashed 2 more on the 1st try.

I've been trying for 2 weeks now, and can't get this to work on this phone. It says it's going but when I restart and check it, it's still not 0.39.Hard. I've tried on every we have here, my other ozone (which now belongs to my wife) did it fine w/o a hitch, this one on the same machine won't do it. I even tried the method above (had to find a machine with a 1.1 controller) and that didn't work, any suggestion?

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] slipnfall:
For those of you who are having trouble, here's some tips that helped me get it to work. Mine would complete all steps like it work, but bootloader still did not report HARD.

First off, I flashed my original Ozone without much trouble at all. When I received a replacement phone (warranty due to other issue), I had one HELL of a time getting it to work.

Few things:

-it's critical that the Application Unlock is done successfully.

-remove EVERYTHING YOU CAN from USB ports. I noticed that once I removed my USB mouse and moved the ozone sync cable over a port, it worked OK.

-when using the App Unlock: you want to look for a 'found new device' for "QualComm bla bla bla". It was after I moved the device to a different port that I *finally* saw this new hardware notification. The immediate attempt afterwards WORKED.

What I did:

1-make sure phone is activated

2-disable 'enable fast USB connection' under phone connection settings (on phone)

--see above Re: USB ports

3-app unlock, SOFT reboot phone (with power button).

4-watch for new device found balloon (as "Qualcomm")

5-Delete any previous SPL files from root dir of Ozone

6-run auto.exe, let it copy files, get to a point where screen is black.

6-before futzing with the windows update utitlity,

--go into activesync (it may be trying to establish a connection), DISABLE USB

--look in device manager, make sure the phone is shown up "Windows CE USB Devices", last entry

--open up mutty, etc, and establish connection via USB. Type 'task 32'. Should see level =0. If not, rinse and repeat

8-close mutty/port

9-finish GUI update utility, allow to flash and reboot phone.

10-check for HARD

Hope this helps...

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] smtelegadis:
This is getting ridiculous.

I've read through this thread 10 times now and tried it on three different machines. All with the same result. 00.39.000 locked bootloader.

Here's the steps I've taken from start to finish:

1) Reset the phone to factory defaults

2) Re-Activated my phone from *228

3) Removed microSD and SIM card

4) App Unlocked phone.

5) Slowed USB Connection on phone settings

6) Run auto.bat from JockyW's HardSPL

6a) JumpSPL copies over without issue

6b) sspl-cedar-0.39 copies over without issue

6c) Asked is USB is disabled. I disable USB

6d) I click OK on the phone. Black screen Comes up, and device shows a HTC USB Device in Device manager

7) Flash of bios occurs 10-15seconds the wizard completes and my phone reboots.

8) I enter into Bootloader mode and NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Very Frustrating. The only thing I haven't been able to do is slow the USB device down to legacy USB in the Bios. The two Dell Notebooks, the one dell desktop, and the biostar system I have don't allow for that option in the bios.

Am I missing something?

Update: Still no success I finally got access to a machine (Windows XP x64 SP 2) that allows for the USB standard to be lowered to USB 1.0 in the bios. Tried the whole process again and still have the Locked Bootloader 00.39.0000. This is driving me nuts. Please someone give me a little advice. Oh and I downloaded Qmat and check the level is at '0' before I proceed with the flash.

Update 2: Tried something New I did a rest of the user space this time. To accomplish that I powered up the phone while holding down the Volume Down and Send Key at the same time. Ran through the whole process again and NO LUCK!! I must have the only phone that is un-unlock-able!

memory loss?

After running hardspl successfully my free storage memory is only 6.94MB when I flash the WinMO 6.5 it is reduced to .04MB and I cannot install any applications or do much else. This is the second phone I have flashed and the first went fine but this one seems to lose it's memory somewhere. Any Ideas?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
You have to try a USB hub or some other form of USB connection. I have seen this with newer USB. Keep trying. Try a cheap USB 1.1 hub. Maybe a laptop?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] smtelegadis:
You've renewed my Faith!

First many thanks for your reply. I was getting desperate and even resorted to trying different USB cables, but I'll go back to the stock cable and use an old Staples hub I'm pretty sure its USB 1.1. Update to follow.

Funny thing is originally I tried this on two different laptops a Dell D600 (Win XP x86) and a Dell D410 (Win Vista x86). I even tried them through the docking stations port replicators. I tried ever port on the machines. The last machine I used was a Dell 4700 (Win XP x86). In each instance the OS prompts for faster result use a 2.0 device. I did read somewhere in the thread that Dell's BIOS don't allow for legacy USB mode, and sure enough I able to find that setting either.

If this doesn't succeed I'm going to screen capture the process on the pc and video the device. So this way at least I can video the process of my frustration.

Thanks again,

BTW: The phone is not activated on Verizon service but PagePlus Cellular (A Verizon MVNO). I didn't mention that before but I figured I would now. I don't feel it's relevant, but you never know.

Update: I have an old USB hub in the basement. Tried the process again on the oldest laptop I own and still luck. I purchased this phone used on EBAY is it possible that it is already unlocked?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] E367BL:
I had many problems as well, tried 20 or times on desktop and D600 with Windows 7, always failed. Finally got it to work on the D600 with XP SP3, but not until the second attempt.

after flashing my ozone with the ookba 6.5 rom i have 100% the same problem!

i can see the boot-logo and thats it! No functional phone.

I flashed back to 6.1 and have also this memory problem. The phone works but the memory is to low!

My hope was an official rom.

Now with the official 6.5 ozone rom my phone works, but the same with the low memory!

Anyone has an idea ? Why the memory is lost ?

Official Verizon Rom Break Unlocking

I just installed the official WinMo 6.5 rom and the SPL-0.44.0000. Can I still unlock it?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
May be harder now. If the ROM software and registry locks the phone, you'll have a heck of a time getting back to HardSPL. Try it and see!? Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock and see if it works or says, "phone is not unlockable".
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] MonkeyHouse98:
I tried it a few times with the app unlock and it never gave me any error with or without it. Everything appeared to work fine. Perhaps you just can't go backwards, i.e .44 to .39?

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] htc_Tomi:
Well, I just flashed my Ozone to the new rom, and I see the same problems all of you are: 0 kb (actually 0.00 bytes) left after the flash, and can't app unlock to try to jump SPL and flash the stock 6.1 rom that is on this site. Kind of saddening, as I was really hoping to use my Ozone once again. You could erase the my documents folder and get about 2 megs freed up.

Is there any way to x out the entire rom and just reflash it from scratch? We need a "rom destroyer utility"...

-Tomi

update: it appears that my storage card won't mount... I know it works, because I can use it in my netbook, but when I insert it into my Ozone it doesn't show up in computer under Windows 7 as one of the mounted drives... Kind of weird.

No, you need to app unlock the phone and run JumpSPL from the PC via Activesync. Delete a few files, maybe the sample pictures to get enough space. Then run auto.bat.

Tried that multiple times, there is no way to gain enough free space by deleting files. it says that the storage space is only 10MB.

Ok, not sure what I'm doing wrong here and this may have already been addressed, but I have to ask anyway.

I've read all of this post, all of the one where jockyw2001 was looking for someone to test his sspl, and all of the one that tells about the new 6.5 ROM.

For whatever reason I can't get my device to succesfully complette a hardspl. No matter what I do my device goes to the blank screen and that's it.

If there are step by step instructions for a XP system (or something like that) I would be most greatful.

Can anyone help?

I dont know what i am doing wrong!!!!! i follow all the instructions and when the status bar opens it looses it syncs and then stays at 0% until it prompts me to recover please help
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] smtelegadis:
I feel your pain.

Bit of advice, give a bit more feed back as to the whole process you are doing and possibly even use a site like this showmewhatswrong{dot}com to show what you are doing step by step.

You need to follow the directions closely and dumb your usb port to the slowest settings in your bios, if possible. I had to use the slowest oldest computer I had access to before I had a positive result. In the end it was the lower USB port on the back of my Dell D600 Notebook that gave me success. Read through ALL the post there are lots of different options that work depending on your system. Good Luck.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] FernBch:
Ok, Here is what I'm doing and possibly the cause, too. I noticed something during the attempts at Hardspl.

1) Connect to USB and wait for activesync to complete. I haven't seen a setting in BIOS to change my USB to slow it down. I do have and older hub, though. When I conect to it I get a message saying that my high speed device is connected to a lower speed port.

2) Ran SDA-unlock and rebooted my device.

3) Ran auto.bat in the Ozone Hard-SPL folder. Pushed the ok button on my device and the screen goes black. After a few moments activesync disconnects. I kept watching device manager and for a few miutes there was no change. So, I unplug the USB cable, wait 5 sec, and reconnect it, and then a new entry pops up, says "unknown USB device", after a few moments it disappears. If I look under the USB controller section in devce manager there is a listing for an unknown device that wasn't there before.

If I continue from here thinking I have USB connectivity, the update utility pops up and I go through the prompts. When it gets to the verifying info stage it times out and says it can't communicate with my device. I exit, pull the battery, and start over. I have been reading again and see that some have mentioned a "generic HTC sync" driver. I am not seeing this, even if I wait for an extended period of time. Could this be my problem?? If so, where do I get this driver from? I have searched my pc, my software, and the internet and am having trouble finding it. Can someone direct me to it or post it up for download?

I do have an older pc that I can put together that should have a USB1.0 port on it, if it works, but without that driver I may still be out of luck.

My current system is Dell based (can't remember where the mainboard came from), 2.8Ghz, 1GB RAM, running WinXP.

Hope all this helps, if more info is needed, ask and I'll try to get it ASAP.

Thanks,

Mike
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] gorgarath:
Does anyone know if JockyW or anyone else is working on the .44 version of the SPL? I'm not asking for a timeframe of when it'll be done, just if it's being worked on.

I'd love to try out some custom 6.1 ROMs and Ookba's custom 6.5 ROMs on my Ozone, but the official 6.5 has locked me out from that. (My fault for not researching enough before flashing the Unofficial/Official version, I know, but I still would probably have ended up wanting to take a look at the Official version just to see how it ran in comparison.)
