Fatal downgrade...

Hi there,
My currently installed Rom was RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-r1.exe. (thank you jester for you good job)
Nevertheless, this ROM is in English and I wanted to downgrade to a French One before the selling of my device.
I have tried to install the downgrade kit detailed in this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267344
The first step went OK but while trying to make the secnd step, my qtek is blocked at the boot splash screen showing the Jesterz picture and red information about the SPL and so on on the upper left corner... without starting... The USB connexion is not detected so I can't do anything... While trying to install any ROM, the USB connection is not detected ang I get an error message...
Did I kill my phone ?
Please help ! Tell me that it's not dead....
Don't worry, its nowhere close to being dead. If you have superCid, then use the SD card image to restore in bootloader mode. However, if the Cid is locked, then you would need a utility that can unlock Cid without Activesync mode (coz in your case, you would not be able to get an Activesync connection). imei-check.co.uk has a utility ($38 i guess) that unlocks Cid in bootloader.--- else show it to a professional. (in my country, I would have to shell out around $20 to get such a problem fixed at a mobile repair shop)

Just take out the battery for about 10 minutes and re-insert. If it does not re-start, do a soft resert with the stylus and hopefully you should be fine
Hy,please help!
after downgrade, it doesnt work anymore.... i mean... i cant start the mobile!
after the downgrade i disable the USB data cable and now the mobile is dead... it doesnt starts from the ON/OFF Button and even if i connect the USB cable it makes nothing! No Led on... nothing! absolutly DEAD!!!
I have tried to put off the battery all night long with no result.. but I have achieved to reach the bootloader mode by pressing the camera button while soft reseting and keeping the camera button pushed...
OMG, I have been so scared ! ! !
Try this in order to reach the bootloader:
Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camara + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and KEEP PRESSING camara button till appear the Boot Loader.)
it doesnt work
I seem to have a simular problem. this is my post in another topic. It seems to fit better here.
This is what I tired so far:....
I used the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_S hip-NoVendorID and it often hangs and was slow with Push Email over GPRS.
I tried to find a way to downgrade but hadn't had time sofar. When I logged on XDA Developers Site I saw there was a new Image.
So I thought Great I dont need to find how to downgrade.
I don't know what G4 and G3 is so as everybody let's try the higest best one.
I uploaded the RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU3.3-Jester-b1
Wrong...
Now as previously stated I get to the multicolor screen with IPL 2.09 and the SPL 2.20..0001 on the screen and that's it.
I can get to the bootloader and load the same image again and get the same result.
I can load another image on and it loads to 80 Percent and says error [326] Invalid Command This NBF cannot be used with your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file.
If I try an older Version it tells me upgrad only
And when I try to upload the G3 version it tells me error[300] invalid upgrade tool. This upgrade utility canot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Upgrade utility.
Trying to use the nf.nbf or the G3 with the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID of the G4 doesn't work either.
If I would like to do the downgrade tool I need a Active Sync connection which I don't have.
I have no more thoughts. Please Help.
If you would have just read the forums better you would have known if your device is a G3 or a G4. (read this!).
Now it appears you have tried both for an update. Which may possibly have bricked your phone.
But... first things first. Can you get into the bootloader? (read wiki HERE on how to do that).
If you can still get into the bootloader then there is still a possibility for updating.
Try upgrading with the latest Qtek rom (note: this is an official rom, this one works for both G3 and G4! And since it's the latest you should be able to upgrade to this one).
Instructions quoted from another post of me:
You could try the 2.20 qtek rom which seems to be working well for quite some people (found here).
Although you have to make sure you read that thread good and use the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe (found here ) to upgrade.
Update instructions:
1: With the qtek 2.20 rom you need to extract the zip and the exe file in the zip with WinRAR.
2: Then there is one folder called 'OutputFile' and a folder called 'RUU_TOOLS'.
Inside the RUU_TOOLS there is prophet and in that one WWE, when you go through them and in the WWE folder you see a bunch of files (readme.doc, enterbootloader.exe etc etc).
You need to copy ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to the WWE folder with all the files. And you also need to copy the 'nk.nbf' file to the WWE folder (from the 'OutputFile' folder).
3: And then you need to put your phone in bootloader mode and run ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to upgrade, which should work nicely then.

This should give you a good enough idea of what to do. This should work (new rom combined with no NoID updater).
However, if it's impossible to get yourself into the bootloader your options of upgrading your device are getting smaller.
Downgrading of a complete rom is only possible on a CID unlocked G3 (when it's CID unlocked you would know! because you would have done that yourself) and not on a G4 device.
Flasing a G3 device with a G4 rom or G4 device with a G3 rom might possibly turn your phone into a brick. This can easily be avoided by reading the forums properly and know what you are doing.
If anything (even if it's a small thing) is not completely clear to you about upgrading/downgrading your device I'd recommend not doing so.
edit: oh yeah... if you have a G4 device (which you should know by now) you cannot downgrade from this rom (well, only via a payed online service). And when you have a G3 device you could try and CID unlock it (read wiki + forums) before you want to downgrade, or don't downgrade at all.
But whatever you do, don't try to downgrade it without doing any of those things because you'll get into trouble. (to put it down bluntly)

If you have reached the bootloader screen, just run my installer (or any official ROM) to get your phone working again.
My Prophet Died
I need help, to restore my Prophet, i upgrade wrong rom, i need will try the SD Backup, where can i see this process ?
Sorry my Inglish is too bad.
I've merged a couple of threads under this one, as they are all about the same problem (mostly)
Opening a new thread for the same problem isnt very useful
Hi RaptorRVL
Thank you very much for your patience in resuming all this for me.
I do try to read the forum but it isn't like a manual where you find the procedure stepby step. Like the G3 and G4 version I have newer come across until now. Sorry.
I tried the image you metioned and I have the result that at 80% it tells me error [326] Invalid Command This NBF cannot be used with your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file
Any more thoughts?
As you seem to be an expert Can you let me know more about goldcard solution.
Cheers
Mick
From a readme I once found inside an update:
* ERROR [320~328] : INVALID COMMAND
These errors seldom occur. However, if one of these errors occur, it could not be recovered and the device had to be sent back to the customer service center. In this case, you have to flash a new ROM code.
Click to expand...

Doesn't sound too good really. Maybe someone else here on the forums know what to do with this error :/
You did use the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe and not the normal updater right? Can remember someone getting a similar error when using the wrong updater, but I'm not sure about that though...
edit: try doing a search on the prophet forums for "INVALID COMMAND" maybe there is a helpful post in there somewhere...
THANKS!! I was worried b/c i had the same problem today. I've been looking for so many threads abt this problem. Thanks for ur help guys!
same problem
so i have the same problem. I want to downgrade and it break at 95% invalid file. But now XDA is still alive. I can`t go into the bootloader but i tried this file: RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe
and now my Prophet is still running again. Hope i can help you. Good luck.

P.S. sorry for my english, but its good to learn it again

Wont Boot

I am a little confused. I have been trying to get WM6 on my T-mobile Wizard and actually got TNT 1.1 loaded and was working fine. I found that I could no longer view my contacts. The page would appear and then as quickly as it appeared it disappeared.
So I figured, I at least got it this far. I will just reload this rom and see if perhaps something did load right. Well after the reload. The phone boots up to the splash screen with IPL\SPL numbers and just sits. NOTHING.
I left it there for like 2 hours and still nothing. But I can still get into the BootLoader.
My questions to you gurus is:
Is the phone fubared?
Can I do some kind of master reset?
Why would it tell me "Invalid Vendor ID" when trying to flash the orginal T-mobile rom?
Are there any tools that can help me out? Paid\free?
Please help!!! Seriously! Please HELP!!!
Very much appreciated.
Thanks

if your device is G3, unlocking is required to flash any rom, before upgrade your device, it is recommended to flash an official WM5.0 rom (in your case T-Mobile rom) with IPL and SPL 2.xx then flash again.
in general there are many probabilities for your issue.
((Where is TNT1.1?? did you mean 1.0?? ))
My Bad meant 1.0
So to get it straight.... I will need to unlock my phone each time?
Oh and to correct myself again, when flashing with the T-mobile ROM it says UPGRADE ONLY. And the read me file says its the wrong RUU. But it is the same file from Tmobile I used when I first got the phone. But I will try again.
Are there any other suggestions?
You need to read the "how to flash" sticky.
I did. I am not any expert or anything but I believe the phone is unlocked already since I once had WM6 on my phone. The real issue I am having is that it wont boot past the splash screen after flashing.
And that is true when re following the steps in guide. After flashing to the button rom it will not boot past the splash screen.
Try another ROM.
Sounds like you need the "Wizard Love" rom. I dont have the link handy but I am sure someone else does.

Already got it. Thanks I am trying to load it now. But the only thing is that the last time it failed and I can understand what the error says. I know the number is 300 but can read the language.
But I will let you guys know when this load completes.
Thanks again for all the assistance.
No worky worky. The load completed and then boots the splash screen shows and then stays there.
Any ideas?
Try to remove the battery and let it out for at least half an hour. Then put it back in and see what it does then.
I thought the same thing too. So when it got done last night, out of frustration, I removed the battery and left it there to wait on when I get off work today. I will report back on what happens.
Again I would like to thank you guys for helping me. I really do appreciate it!
STEP 1 install the original manufacturer ROM
T-mobile UK
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
T-mobile US
http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
Search for the original rom for any other
instructions on how to use the original rom can be found here

Put it in the bootloader mode.. ( three color screens )
hope this helps..
cheers
Praneet
Ok I did that and it gave me ERROR 296: UPGRADE ONLY
Then it tells me that the NBF file cannot be used for my PDA Phone. Please get newer NBF file.
Is there any way I can get the Tmobile splash and IPL\SPL number back to original, it doesnt need to boot all the way into WCE but atleast show the same numbers and splash during boot up?
Or any other way to get this thing to work?
Thanks guys
BTW it is a HTC Wizard from T-mobile.
If you are getting an error 300 you need a newer rom update utility, and regardless if your phone is a G3 or G4 it needs to be unlocked before you flash any rom.. LOAD a OFFICIAL cingular ROM onto your device before going any further, then unlock your phone either via www.imei-check.com or through some of the tools offered here...
Which one should I down load from Cingular? Even though I have a Tmobile phone?
what ipl and spl are you using and what radio are you using. Just post all the numbers from the bootloader
As soon as I get home, I will post them.
Thanks
Ipl 1.01
Spl 3.08

Have I bricked my Kaiser

Hi,
Was changing the ROM on my Kaiser, using JUMPspl as I had got the white screen using Hardspl. During the upgrade got an error at about 18%, went through the recovery procedure only to get back to the Bootloader screen with the screen saying
SPL-1.93.0000
I think it should say something different here!
At the moment can only get the the tri-colour bootloader screen with usb at the bottom.
Please any help would be much appreaciated.
Thanks
If you are at the tri-color bootloader screen, reflash a ROM.
that's where the process starts at anyhow,the bootscreen.
But doesn't the SPL have to be either Hardspl or jumpSPL.
I have tried to do the rom update again but sticks on 0% and gives error 262

Not advisable if he has the default SPL still though which by the number appearing at the tri col screen it appears to be the case.
Try doing a hard reset and see if it boots into the original ROM then at least you will find out if it is bricked or not, however, i'm not sure it will work based on the fact you got part way through in the first place.
Hold down the keys directly next to the Send and End (green and Red) Hold in the stylus and keep them all held untill you get a screen telling you to press the green (send) key.
Tried the hard reset, takes me back into the bootloader. Any other ideas?
Hmm... ok then.... you are pretty much looking at a very expensive paperweight at this moment in time then.
Look at this thread...it "may" (i'm not promising anything but it may point you in the right direction) help you out. Let us know how it goes.

Hate to joint the parade, but the exact same thing happened here - 18% now stuck at 1.93.0000
For anyone else reading this BEFORE flashing a new ROM please read, read and read again EVERYTHING related to flashing on this site, wikis and wherever else you can get info.
Another idea for you. Search around here for how to flash from an SD card that may solve the issue out for you. As previously noted though....READ READ READ and be 110% certain you understand what you are doing before you do anything.

details some info for a Wizard, should it be the same for a Kaiser?
Will Mtty get me any further?
MTTY will at least give you a USB connection to the device it is worth a shot given your current situation.
There is hope!
I did a clean reboot of my PC and disabled my antivirus (avast) and was able to sucessfully reflash the new 1.62 rom (released from ATT site today).
Thanks will try the new 1.62 rom.
What commands can you use with MTTY?
tried the At&t rom gives me an error on the vendor id. Will try a HTC rom
I have tried multiple roms and they all give me the same error Error 294:Invalid Vender ID
Any ideas
Am starting to get worried because if the misses finds out that I have bricked the new phone, I am up to my neck i it.
If you are stuck in boot loader & would like some help via MSN Messenger, please PM me or look for me on MSM messenger at [email protected]. I will be available to help later this evening or tomorrow morning.
I have most of the files to fix these issues & can use MSN fileshare folders to help you.

Invalid Vendor I.D. is cuz it's locked.
Had the exact issue myself and found a ATT ROM that will boot. It saved me bigtime, so I saved it. It's in one of the posts on one of the threads but I have the actual ROM, it'll overide that lock.- PM me if ya need it.
Got the same solution, Holy S**t about to have a heart attack. Tried nearly ever ROM out there, it was the Asia one that got me going.
Lesson learned: make sure you Hardspl after jumpspl.
Thanks for all the help folks
Glad ya got it fixed. One quick question?
Is your original ROM ATT or HTC ?
It is a HTC ROM. Done My Hardspl and got Sleuth v3.0 on it already
Happy days

I've tried, searched, think I'm just stupid.

As the title says, I seriously think I am just being stupid. But I have just spent the last 5 hours searching, trying, and just about anything I can. But I can't seem to get anything to work.
Now on to my situation:
I just got a new Tilt, it is not my first. My first one was when it first came out for AT&T. So it was still the WM6Pro and I SIM CID and HardSPL'd it. So I do know how to do this stuff. Just now with this new one, it must be a newer one, because it came with WM6.1 on it.
Here is what I know I have on it. Bootloader shows this.
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.0000
CPLD-8
And this is when the AT&T logo pops up.
R 1.65.21.18
G 25.88.40.05H
D 3.57.00.00
Now the first thing I am trying to do is HardSPL it.
I swear I have tried everything.
First thing I tried was the simple, Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer , I start with the Flash-HardSPL and get to the Bootloader saying USB with the Rom updater showing the status bar. Then with the phone still in bootloader, I get Error [260] : Connection, The Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA. and so on.
So I exit that. Go on to the next try.HardSPL v3.07-3.56
All of them end up as the same result as the first. But I will explain what V3.28 as I have heard and read that that is one of the best ones to use.
Get to bootloader, Computer monitor shows status bar, and phone shows status bar. And I wait for it to do anything and then maybe a minute or two it gives me an error. Error [262] : Update Error, The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. and so on for recovery.
I've also tried to do the HTC Kaiser Hard-SPLv1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device (4 free)
When I start this one up it gets me to my screen being completely white. and I can not continue after that without taking the battery out and starting the phone again.
I have also tried other things that I just cant remember right now, cause I have been trying to do this for so many hours, and downloaded so many different things. So if you can and may help me, anything and everything will be appreciated beyond the gratitude I can give. Once again, I do know what I am doing, but I do not know what I am doing ARGHHH! lol.
I think you need JumpSPL1.56-KAIS, then hardspl , Im assuming this because you didnt say you did this step in your post.

Nope, I didn't have to. My tilt came with 6.1. I had some problems, ended up switching to an XP laptop, was using Vista(prem. sp-whatever). It's too late here, but maybe tomorrow I can figure out what I did, but I think the main thing was using a windows XP pro machine - don't know if it needed to be pro, but that's what I had. Thereafter I've used the vista machine without problem. Good luck.

Meh, you need to use JumpSPL first. I've had this happen before, and JumpSPL cleared it right up for me.
I think Jocky has a few you can use. Check his HardSPL thread.
I first tried to use Vista, but then went back to my xp machine.
Edit :
I've tried to the JumpSPL but had major brain damage last night. trying it again with a fresh day. Will let you know.
Just got it, thanks guys. I apologize for just being completely brain dead. But I really am happy that you guys helped out. I finally got it flashed with the HardSPL It was really easy now. I just could not remember how to get to the file explorer. And the JumpSPL 1.56 worked. Thanks!
Yeah, well I can NEVER find anything via search here. Hell, to prove that point, I just typed "stupid" in the subject search line and found: NOTHING!!! I don't know what the deal is, but I've just pretty much given up searching this site.

The G1 Night Light (READ FIRST IF YOU BRICKED YOUR PHONE)

Many people complain that they have "bricked" their phones when they really haven't. This thread will hopefully help reduce the questions on all of our useful threads.
How to tell if your phone is bricked:
1.) When you try to turn it on, nothing happens?
2.) Camera+Power does nothing.
3.) Home+Power does nothing.
4.) You flashed the SPL BEFORE the radio
If you answered yes to any of the above 4, you are bricked. You probably need a new board in the phone. Read more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516440 It has been confirmed that you WILL brick your phone if you attempt to downgrade your radio after flashing the new SPL. Not sure why you would want to anyways...
How to tell if you just need to re-flash:
1.) Your phone is stuck on the g1 logo
2.) Your phone is stuck in a boot loop
3.) Home+Power boots into recovery
If you answered yes to the above then you are NOT bricked. You have the G1 Night Light. This is (usually) a very easy fix.
The usual scenario is: You just upgraded your radio and/or the SPL on your phone and now you are trying to turn it on with no luck.
How to fix: After you upgrade your radio and/or SPL, you need to wipe a rom on the phone. For a plain almost stock feeling rom, checkout http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/05/24/jfv151-images-are-out/ if you are looking for hero, checkout the tutorial at g1upgrade.com.
I have also noticed when you flash hero, it will stay on the g1 logo for 5 or 6 minutes and then it'll finally start loading. Make sure your not being impatient and give it several minutes if you have just flashed a rom.
Last step:
If you have installed a new radio, then spl, then a new rom and you STILL get the g1 screen. Try it all over again. You probably didn't do something right. You don't need to ask questions in 30 different threads, your issue is not unique. You just need to search for some answers.
*Saved for future posts*
Edit:
Thanks! Updated.
I flashed the SPL before the radio whenever Haykuro released the Hero ROM and I didn't brick my device. Guess that I just got lucky. Thank goodness I know better now. haha
it's possible you flashed the radio prior to the SPL, only a loooong ways back.
Another thing to try if you are having issues is:
su
rm -r /system/sd/*
I was stuck in a boot loop and a quick ext3 wipe did the trick. The command should be able to be ran from console or terminal. You may need to mount /system with:
mount -t -rw,remount -o yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
You would need to type that in between the commands above . I ran across this in another post but i think this is a good spot for it too .

At least I know now how to tell if I bricked my phone or just flashed it badly thanks for this.

How to tell if you just need to re-flash:
1.) Your phone is stuck on the g1 logo

many people who flashed the new SPL before the radio are stuck at the G1 splash logo, but cannot get to recovery or spl bootloader / fastboot mode regardless of what they do, so this bit might be misleading...
they aren't technically "bricked" b/c it's loading the radio rom, but it never hands off to the SPL, so there is currently no way of reloading either of those to make the device do anything useful -- essentially a brick

This is exactly what happened to me, it was a brick, sent for repair and they replaced the mainboard.
I have fixed 2 phones that had no recovery and stuck at the g1 screen. If someone has this problem message me and I'll help you fix.
Good Job
Sorry this is off topic. But...
Thank you for this thread!
Ok,
By the way, has anyone figured out what The difference in the baseband is?? I have a U in mine...

really? if it can't get to recovery / fastboot mode nobody has published a fix w/o a hardware swap.
what's your method?
I will buy a bricked one off ebay and post the steps I do to get it back. I can only fix the "Night Light", I can't fix a truly bricked phone (yet).

How and where did you sent for repair and how much does it cost? I have a bricked MyTouch3G at this moment. Did HTC took it?
