Hi. Can someone please help me out? I was trying to flash my cingualr 2125 from wm 5.0 to 6.0. I was using Kar Hoe's instuctions and I used the typhoon instuctions instead of the tornado instuctions. I didn't know there was a difference at the time.
I did all the steps up until step 5 on the typhoons where it states you will get a white screen. At that point, I accidently hit my usb and the phone disconnected from active sync. I thought if I took my battery out, I could just do a reboot and get the reboot screen. Well I got nothing. I cannot even turn the phone one. I cannot even connect to active sync. I thought maybe I fried the battery and bought a new one and no luck. I have done a hard restart and all other things that I could think of.
Does anyone know if I had hurt the phone and if it can be fixed to get to the bootable screen. I would be happy just to get it to power on and stay with wm5 just to have the phone working.
I really appreciate your help.

Aah i remember doing the same once i screwed up my newly acquired tornado with typhone rom. phone was dead no bootup screen nothing, i tried every thing asked everywhere, thankfully i had warranty period so went to them with very innocent face and made up a story that "i switched it at night and it wont boot in the morning" they bought and gave me a new phone after a week. any ways GOOd Luck
Enjoy WM6
think your in trouble mate. Using the wrong rom and cancelling it half way is a big no no. Least you have a fancy paper weight
Similar problem
I have just acquired a tornado (in it's o2 guise) and it will only get as far as the wm splash screen. I thought trying a hard reset or flashing it with a new rom might revive it. However I tried hard reset (holding down the 2 soft keys beneath screen while pressing power button?) but it just kept booting to the splashscreen. The phone doesn't boot far enough to be recognised by Activesync so can't flash it. Can anyone suggest a solution? Would going to bootloader mode allow me to flash it? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks
try this.
1.switch off phone
2. remove battery
3. re install battery
4. hold camera button
5. while holding camera button plug usb cable to port
6. after some second u will see three color bootloder screen
7.format binfs
7. then u can flash correct tornado rom
you can us alternative method for going to bootloder mode
hold camera button while holding camera button press power button(not hold)
GOOD LUCK
Hi fayizk1
Thanks for the tip. Just one question, will this command CID unlock the phone too? It's just the phone isn't CID unlocked, I've tried using instructions and tools on other threads to change the CID value of downloaded roms to that of my phone, but all Typhoonnbftools produces is a 512 byte .nbf file which isn't good for anything. Any suggestions?
binfs not allowed!
When I run format binfs from teratermpro I'm told it's not allowed. What do I do now?
First off, try a couple different times. The "format BINFS" command is case sensitive - where your capital letters are makes ALL the difference. You may need to try a couple times, but I believe "format" is all lowercase and "BINFS" is all capitals.
Thanks djsleepwalker but I tried your suggestion and tried a few times in different cases but still got "Not allowed operation". (If all caps I get "Invalid command") I read somewhere that I'm getting this message because the phone is not CID-unlocked?
Tried a few times in different cases, still get "Not allowed operation". I read somewhere else that I'm getting this message because the phone is not CID-unlocked? Well I know that otherwise I would have just flashed another rom. Problem is I have tried using Typhoonnbftools to change the CID over numerous roms, the file it produces is only 1kb or smaller which is no good for anything. I feel like I'm running out of options...
Just try to flash with a legal WM5 ROM from the magnufacture's web site while the device is in bootloader screen. I hope it will work.
Good luck
This is my problem. There isn't one on their site! I emailed them but they were no help at all.
edit: Have also searched loads of forums etc. no-one seems to have it and there are lots of people looking for o2 roms.
Won't help

Okay. I tried to install one of Dutty's ROM's that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398271.
I read through all the stickys and FAQ's first. I read Dutty's wiki, the Kaiser wiki, and the flashing new ROM wiki. I followed all of the directions and followed Dutty's instructions to the T.
After installing the HardSPL found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679), I backed up all my personal info/data.
Then used the Custom RUU Dutty supplied and proceed through the ROM flashing process. Everything went fine and I got no error messages. But when my phone booted up I got a black screen. I waited but my phone stayed on the black screen. So I pressed the standby button on and off a few times and eventually I wound up with a black screen that had about a million multi-colored speckled dots all over it. And I have been stuck on this screen since. I've tried soft-reseting and hard resetting but nothing is working.
I am Using an ATT Tilt BTW.
Please Help me. My phone is my life so right now I'm feeling like Dionne Farris.....Hopeless....
ahh that sounds like a nightmare... wish i could help

can you get into bootloader mode?
hold down power and camera button while inserting stylus it should introduce you to the tri color screen. Please tell us what it states. You may have just experienced a bad flash or you have the radio from hell installed on your device

well it appears to be a bad flash. unplug your device from the usb cable, restart your computer, and flash again.
Hopefully after your computer restarts it will recognize the device as being connected. If it doesn't just double click on your windows mobile device center icon and it should connect. After connecting just reflash the rom

I had the same problem, what i did was read all through the thread of the ROM or while inside the thread i use the search function and type in the keywords like "blank screen" it happened to me exactly, but i didnt bother to post since i found the answer, 1 user said flash it to WM 6.1 i did exactly that and it helped! some said not necessary, but i didnt see that instruction so i flashed the 6.1 blindly and fortunately it worked...
here is the thread

I tried that and It different work. I'm trying a whole new ROM now and I hope it works.
Problem solved.
Thanks to everybody for their help.
I just used a different ROM and everything worked perfectly. I guess that ROM just didn't want to work with my phone. But it's okay. The ROM I'm using now is perfect.
Hello to all, I am a noob here and have tried to adhere to all of the demands to do research and not post ?'s, but I am at a wall.
I have a Tilt and I ran the sim unlock and I was using the Sleuth 3.0 on it. Everything was working fine. I added the Iunlock cab and it worked fine as well. I then tried to install the icontacts, but i would have to go to program files and icontacts file in order to use I contacts. Well, wanna be innovative me thinks to try and move that file so it would replace something. I copied it to the windows appbuttons folder and deleted the regular contacts and nothing happened, then I put it in the start up folder and no luck, then I simply copied it to the windows folder not at the bottom where all of the extra files are. After that I tried to reset it and now all that I get is the bootloader screen. it reads as follows:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.Olipof
CPLD-8
At the bottom, it shows either USB or Serial depending on if the usb is plugges up.
I tried running the sim unlock again and the dutty rom and both load to 100% but it goes back to the same screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help and thank you so much.

You could hard reset if you altered something in WM to cause it not to boot...hopefully
I tried the hard reset and same thing I flashes for a very split second loading and then goes back to the screen.
Hard reset is both item buttons above IE and Mail with soft reset correct?

In case u dont know how to do it:

U need to hold the stylus in the hole longer, untl a message pops up on the page.
If it does not hardreset or help u, do what zeezee told u - flash a new rom.
OK, thank you all for you diligent assistance. I have tried the hard reset and it does the same thing...goes to black for about 2 seconds, then for a very split second goes to a grey screen and flashes loading then back to the bootloader.
I will try a search for the people stuck in bootloader and try flashing a OEM ROM, I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

Before you try the dangerous MTTY method, you could try refresh a oem rom w/ the SD method
ok, I am flashing an OEM rom now, but what does it mean to do it with the sd method?

From youre sd card (memorycard), look it up in wiki. Moust of us flashaholics keeps oure rom on oure memorycard and just rename the rom/bootsplash/radio or whateva and place it in root then activate bootloader -> flash. This is an alternative for not using usb cable, pc and active sync
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
ok thanks, but am i correct in understanding that to do that I have to use the phone to access the mem card?
My issue is that the only screen I get is bootloader, no nothing else. I can't even turn it off. I can take the battery out to get a black screen, but any action to try something will take it back to the bootloader screen. But for some reason, it still allows me to flash the ROM, I think. I flash it on my pc and then my phone goes to the grey screen where it shows the % of progress. It reaches 100% and the pc tells me to click finished and I do then it goes back to the bootloader.

yes, just use a card adapter or something to acess youre card (if you cant connect via active sync) then copy the rom over and follow the steps in wiki. Beeing stuck in the bootloader some times aint the worse place to be stuck

I don't mean to argue with you here and you are right about research threads, but honestly it's easy to get caught up in frustration with the amount of information. Some authors are good at documentation and some skip steps along the way or extra links are in the threads.
I just switched over to Gullum's Diamond Rom and was I nervous upgrading "Yes" and did I read much that I could "Yes". Were the instructions to HardSPL, Jump were a little unclear "Yes" so people asking questions are legit to a degree but we shouldn't also be eagar to pounce on...

I agree with some of your remarks. Yes myself and others have jumped down people's throats yelling, "Search." One thing you have to remember though this is a developers forum, not a novice forum to help people making there phone look "cool."
Going into flashing / upgrading / modifying, you have to have a little bit of knowledge or time using Windows Mobile / Windows in General devices and machines.
Usually reading some background information can be a world a difference before jumping into this sort of thing.
I found the problem to stuck in bootloader. Thanks to all who have posted threads.

Aboslutely man. You go take care of your family. I will pray for God to guide you all through this trying time.
On the Kaiser note, I found after further studying of some threads, a solution to my issue where I was stuck in bootloader. I think this will apply to anyone that is stuck in bootloader with the usb/serial showing at the bottom and when they try to flash a new rom is goes to 100%, but the are still stuck on the boot screen.
After reading more threads, it appeared that there was some sort of disconnect between the usb and the phone. Since my PC was stating that it was successfully completing the flash, that shows that it was not getting any type of error from the phone. After reading a thread I simply blew in my tilt usb port and used my stylus to try to straighten it out as one of your post state to ensure the usb connection is straightor it may give mtty an issue.
Once I messed with my USB port, the phone came back to life and everything was fine. Everything was rebooted and all my info was lost however. I was even able to successfully flash a new ROM.
In closing, if anyone is stuck in bootloader mode and their flash goes to 100% and doesn't fix their issue, tell them to clean and straighten their usb connection.

Hi,
I bought a HTC Touch Pro today from ebay, all working fine and everything. So I go to flash to the latest energyrom, using this guide:
http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/...c-diamond-or-htc-touch-pro-with-a-custom-rom/
It starts, then has an error saying it was unable to flash and i should check my devidce etc. I look at my phone and it has a whit background and it just says 'Loading ...'. I had to take out the battery to get it back on again.
Everything is fine, my phone works, but I don't think I can flash anymore.
I then read this guide:
http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/...c-diamond-or-htc-touch-pro-with-a-custom-rom/
When i got to this step:
Enter bootloader mode on your phone:
While the device is booting up or with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the volume down and power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
Everything was fine the tricolour appeared and the text, then suddenly it went back to 'Loading ...'
I really want to flash my phone, and i'm worried I won't be able to know. Ive tried hard reset, but it didn't do anything. Is there anything else I can do?
I've left the loading screen for 20 minutes, i don't think it's doing anything...
If anyone could help me that would be amazing.
Cheers
EDIT:
I just tried flashing with the default firmware, as guided here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
The phone fades to black, and doesn't show anything at all, and then i get ERROR [260] CONNECTION, and tells me to check if it's plugged in etc.
Very strange, i'm really worried I won't be able to fix this..
I had this issue
I had this issue with a Fuze that I had about a week ago.
It comes with a newer version of bootloader.
All you have to do is remove the Sim card and SD Card before you flash. That made the black fading go away and flashing succeeded.
Start by installing Hard SPL first. Once that is in they you can start flashing the rom.
How about reading and posting in the noob flashing thread? Do you know what hard spl, gsm, and cdma are? If not, you're either wasting your time and/or your phone.
Well I am clearly an idiot, thankyou both for you posts, phone is now successfully flashed!

Is your battery is well charged when the screen was flashing and turning Off ?
100%100 yes my battary is comletely ful
Why on earth did you try to flash a Jamin with a K-jam rom?
Are you able to get into bootloader ie. hold down the COMM button and press the soft reset?
If you can get into the bootloader your phone can be saved, and I would advise you to have a deep read of the WIKI page.
