hello,
I've tried to install skype ona my cingular 2125 and now it doesn't work.
the phone just stuck on .cab extractin screen and i restart it.now the only thing it show is the cingular startup screen and that's all.I have the cingular rom update uttility but it says that the device is not connected to the pc using usb,and ask me to check the connection.
what i can do about this issue?can anyone help me?
thank you in advance
Try turning off USB connection in activesync. With the phone turned off, if you hold the camera button when you plugin the usb to phone (already connected to PC), it should start up in the bootloader.
Other method to get the bootloader is to hold the camera and the comm manager button and turn on the phone.
You should be able to use the ROM update utility with the bootloader.
Look at Karhoe's guide in the stickies at the top of this forum...
Maybe hard reset will be enough ?
Turn off Your phone. Press and keep hold of both soft keys, press the power button for approximately 0.5 to 1 second, phone will ask U if U are sure, press 0.
hard reset is a lot safer than reflash...
i can't believe
thank you for all the advises but unfortunateli non of them helps.I've trie everything and it still shows cingular's wellcome screen and that is all.after that the only thing i can do is to remove the battery because nothing else work.I put the original rom from cingular and everything was OK with the setup, but after that -the same.I've tried with this hard reset- the same.probbably the nezt thing that i will do is to hit it into the ground )

Missunderstanding here
Our goal was making Your phone alife again.
None of mentionated procedures could help with some unknown to us bug in Your version of 3-rd party software
The latest skype works perfectly for me, in WM5 and WM6, since you are going to hard reset, why not perform a WM6 upgrade?
re
I was tried to reflash with the original aku2 rom from htc/cingular (the flash was successfull)but after that the phone is still not working.allways the same- cingular's startup screen and that's all.also try with hard reset with no success.I doubt that this phone will ever work again.or if there is another way to "clean" the whole memory?!is it possible to hardware reset the phone?
Format BINFS and reflash, that will clean everything except the IPL and SPL
What is the first thing I should do?
I am running the original shipped rom, with plenty of programs added on. I ran Hard-Spl v1 & updated the radio yesterday, as I have been having outgoing and incoming phone issues at my house...didnt exactly solve the issue, but:
The last .cab I opened was "_Alex_ htc_d3dm Replacement"
I did not open it from a wm6.1 rom. <--This may be my problem. I am now stuck in the green WindowsMobile splash screen. I dont want to "mess" this $500 phone up.
Please advise.
Maybe I should have started off with "HELP!"
Maybe I should have started off with "HELP!"
do a hard reset
maybe that can help
rebooted in "safe mode"...waiting...
in safe mode, went to settings, un-installed the .cab...
soft-resetting to 'return to normal mode'
we'll see
okay, what do I need to do to undo what the .cab did?
so I removed the .cab, but I'm sure I didnt undo the problem...
since I didnt fix my issue yet, Im back in safe mode, and I connected to Activesync...should I just flash a Rom? Is it safe to flash in safe mode?
DO A HARD RESET!!
the _alex_ cab wrote some files on your windows folder (some .dll's)
enter in safe mode, backup stuff then do a hard reset =)
Hi everybody,
i got a XDA Orbit 2 and today i tried to install SPB Phone Suite.
During install it asked for a Softreset, which i did...
After that i refused to boot and keeps hanging at the o2 Bootscreen.
It totally freezes, regardless if i pull any cable, remove the sd-card etc..
So i thought i'd a hardreset once again, but that one didnt work at all.
The Restore lasts maybe 10 secs (with and without sc-card), then asks for another boot and im again where i startet, the o2 bootscreen.
Any chance i get it working again?
Like somebody else recommended flashing it with either another rom or the original one, which i might d/l somewhere.
Then again, any Flash-HowTo starts with an ActiveSync Connection.
Since my Device wont boot at all, the ActiveSync Connection wont be established...
Any helpful Advise highly appreciated :-/
regards...
You should be able to manually put it into the boot loader. I'm not familiar with you phone so you will need to research that.
***Update**** Try this; "turn your phone on press and hold the two buttons on the upper left and right side from your naviwheel and press the resetbutton with your stylus"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366303
hrm, pressing the upper left/right buttons and reseting it doesnt do anything.
regarding google im the first human ever trying to get the htc touch cruise into bootloader mode.
i keep researching, thx for ur effort tho
Manually getting into the boot loader will allow to establish a link to your PC in order to re-flash. Like I said, I'm not familiar with your phone....
yup, i noticed some more users here own an Orbit2.
So i hope somebody is able to enlighten me, before i brake my fingers while trying to press all buttons same time and then somehow hit the reset button, hehe.
ok, i managed to get into bootloader.
some more detailed research helped me there, actually inside this board :-/
now lets see if HardSPL makes me happy.
tx again for ur time
I have an Orbit 2,
To Hard reset and delete everything from your phone and then let the rom reload everything back to factory settings, do the following.
1. Remove SD card
2. Hold down the 'Windows Icon' Button and the 'OK' button at the same time and keep them held in.
3. While still holding in the above 2 buttons, use the stylus and press the reset button in and then release it but you must still keep the 'Windows' button and the 'OK' button still in until you are prompted with a menu.
4. Once the menu appears: press 'Send' button to reset and reload rom or any other button to cancel.
I have done this procedure a few times now and is quite safe, especially after loading a crap piece of software that totally knackers up my Orbit 2.
I hope this helps you out........
Good luck
Tried that before and it worked out before also.
This Time the complete recover-process lasts only 10 seconds and then the Boot doesnt work anymore either.
Dunno why the hardreset aint working anymore.
Regarding the Flashing:
I managed to get into Bootloader and see the following Information:
POLA200
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2
Serial.
Then i plug in the USB-Cable and start the Update-Utility.
After following each step i get the following error:
Error 262: Update Error
Saying it has encountered communication Errors and asks me if i want to recover...
Im running VistaSP1, maybe thats a reason?
Try this for your Vista issue. It worked for me the first time. Although I don't know if SP1 has any effect.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27 This was for Hermes also....
Updating the USB-Driver didnt help .
Using a XP VirtualPC didnt work out either, hehe.
Ill try tomorrow on a XP Machine, thanks for ur time once more.
Im not that desperate anymore, hehe.
Damn, now im using a Windows XP Machine (incl. all Updates) with ActiveSync 4.5, and still get the [262] Update Error.
Seems its seriously damaged :-(
One Question:
Did you installl phone-suite on a cooked rom, or on the original o2 rom?
i got the same freezing problem on my touch with a cooked rom. with the original rom i got no problems.

HTC Touch Cruise ROM on O2 Orbit 2
Hi,
Sorry for posting on this thread which might be the wrong place but hope someone ccan help.
Can I install an HTC Cruise ROM (WM 6.1 from HTC website) on my Orbit 2 ?
Hello, I though I knowd everything I needed to upgrade my hpc from wm5 to wm6.1 with the rom of this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401095 , so I did hard reset it, I then launched EnterBL.exe on it, I then launched ROMUpgradeUt.exe on my computer (I saw later that I should have use GetDeviceData.exe before but still, I think this wouldn't have change something), I saw that I must hard reset again my hpc, so I did and now: the screen show absolutly nothing, not "serial 6" or something but nothing, the only thing I seem to be able to do is to hard reset it again so I see the "press 0" screen but if I do so, it show me nothing again. Also, my computer doesn't recognise it. So ?
yeah I get it, I should have put the file in the right folder, not just launching it. Isn't there a way to move it now or I'm totally screwd like I can simply throw it by the window ? Even a way like paying qtek to reset it I don't know...
Woot, ok, at least now I know that I will be able to do something: I just did hit light + power + reset to enter the bootload (I'm getting a serial msg but I'm sure I will find what I'm suppose to do here since I saw help for this case many times). I understood that to go in the bootload, I had to copy the file (and since I didn't this well, I was screwed).
Fool!
You havent ROM in your UNI....Your ROM is Empty bro, cause you not upgrade correctly your UNI, you skiped a lot of steps, Do you unlock your UNI? Do you upgrade to supercid? DO you upgrade the bootloader? Do you try to upgrade the ROM with a instaler? Why you skip getdata? Do you want to brick your UNI or What?!, try to do all steps correctly and first try to back to original WM5 ROM. I did brick a UNI cause i didnt follow the steps, take care plis....
and....
Put your UNI in Bootloader, disconect usb conections in Active sync, conect the UNI, execute the installer of the ROM, if you have errors, you' ll format the UNI's RAM with mtty.exe (task 28 55aa) and try again.
Hi,
and this is not the right way to start a thread in a new forum
a few days ago i bought a used TytnII with english ROM and last night I decided to organize my phone with tools and programms and then a bad thing happened....
I accidentally flashed a ROM in my phone, the file was marked HTC_TYTNII_UPDATES. The file was installed without giving any warning about ROM or non-compatibility issues. After rebooting i get a message that i used illegal ROM and a DeviceLocked message. and the phone reboots.
Any hope to bring it back to normal?
Stergios
Was it a cab file you installed?
Or did you run the file from your computer while your phone was connected through activesync?

1. I don't think you flashed a rom.
2. There is no illegal rom.
3. Maybe it is a good idea to do a clean rom install on your Kaiser, especially since it is a SH device.
Either install cmonex' hard2 spl (3.29 for Kaiser or 3.56 for Tilt) and any rom of your choice, or flash the official rom for your device which will probably work with any spl you may have.

loooool
why do you hate your kaiser!
anyways, there is no way a rom got installed without you knowing stergiosKLM...you would get many steps to click on if you were installing a rom.
format the device...install hard spl (whatever kind except 1.0) and flash your custom rom

Your best bet is to do a hard reset. Go to start, settings, system, clear storage.
Write 1234 and press yes. It will start you from scratch. That should help.
anyway you could upload the file you installed so we could take a look at it
I am on trip right now but as soon as i get back I will send the file.
Thank you all
Problem update
my kaiser has eng version and the file i executed from my pc and installed in kaiser memory (not card), is a localization program from the Greek distributor of HTC that installs two programs, the first in the localization program and the second is a lock program.
After a hard reset (soft keys and reset key), i get the screen alignment, time and date etc, then i tap the screen to start using the device. and then ii installing the customization program.
the file is "HTC_TyTN_II-0.4.2.6GR-9.0.0.25.Installer.zip" and is a RUU_ExtendedPKG program....
Try hard reset by poking the soft reset hole and hold two softkey simultaniously...
look here for proper instruction to reset (kaiser wiki)...

This is the best idea I read in the thread. Just think about if this poor person throught that he/she had flashed a rom. Why even send them though the confusion of (hard spl, and flashing a custom rom)when he/she has no idea on what they are doing anyway. Just hard reset your device and this will fix your issue plain and simple.
i already tried that. plus, i do not know how, the device booted, i uninstalled both programs, then did a reset and still it keeps autoruning the file.
Should i record a video so you get an idea of what is happening? How can i upload the file so someone can check it out?
BTW i am a he. 8)

You try to hard reset you phone?? I not talking about a soft reset. To perform a hard reset hold down to 2 line keys located between the send call and end call buttons and press and hold in the reset button with your stylist(this is located right next to the charge/usb port) til you see a white screen with blue writing and fellow the on screen instructions. I hope that this helps
i did that many times. all goes well up to the point where i get the message "setup is complete. tap the screen to begin using your device". I tap the screen and I get a windowed message "customization. It will automatically customize your device in 3 seconds" and the device shows a progress bar which says "Loading...." then "Loading AutoShortcut...." then "Installing...." after it finishes it reboots and it loads with the greek customization. as soon as it loads i get another windowed message which notes "DeviceLock. you have illegaly aquiered this ROM! This ROM is only for phones sold by ACE-Hellas and their distribution channel!" and after 3 seconds the device reboots and it keeps doing that.
The best solution is to go to HTC's website and download a new ROM/Radio directly from them. This will 100% fix your problem.
This should be what you need.... Pick one that matches your area/carrier
How to solve until you get home

Ok here's the deal. Do a hard reset and when it flashes to the customizing in 3 seconds button, do a soft reset by pushing in the reset button. That will stop customization from happening. Then you can use your phone, but will have to run connection manager to get your connection settings. This is the way to stop customization from running. It only runs one time after a hard reset.
When you get back off your trip, start with the thread mentioned above and work your way through the hardspl process and select a rom that you think has what you want then flash it.

thank you, i appreciate that. One last question for the proper rom, i have to match rom version and radio version only, right?
have a happy new year. thank you all again
HardSPL must be matched too, but you probably won't have any problems regarding this if you install HardSPL 3.29.

That should work with most custom roms out there. If you have a freeze issue where the screen momentarily freezes, then you will need to flash a different hard spl. Most roms, tell you which hardspl and radio are compatible.
