Dead Prophet? Problem with flashing? This could help you!

Hi,
I just crashed my phopret. BUT due to some good ideas of user Users i solved my issue. I want to tell you how.
My history:
I already had the "update package" installed and used several WM 6.1 ROMs.
I love the Diamond rom from vincent. see link
Then i tried to flash my prophet with a rom for the charmer. Hm, bad. It crashed when it tried to restart. Anyway.
I tried to reanimate it. It failed. I stopped for that moment and started again a day after.
Now it runs again. Juhu. I tried every update , orginal ROM, Tera Term etc. But always the same issue:
Bootloader starts but only runs until info screen with the isp number etc.
"The Charmer rom erased everything so there was now Operating system at all."
Even the bootloader was not the original one with 3 colours and I was not able to connect to the PC because it stopped booting.
How to solve this issue:
Download the "Lazy Tool" from here
If you need additional info read this otherwise try it my way
Flashing Tool thread
1. Press Camera Button and Softreset (with stylus).
2. Remove ONLY the Stylus. --> Get the 3 Colour Screen.
3. Connect with Cable to the (this important) USb Port at your Mainboard (native ports).
4. Unpack it.
5. Run "Upgrade.bat" and keep the window opene in the Background
6. Go to "lib" and run the G3 or G4 "Rom update utility"
7. follow the introductions
Finish. You did it. Great job.
To get a good Rom.
Use the update utility and run after a reset the vincent rom.
BE ALWAYS AWARE THAT YOUR PROPHET IS CHARGED. Mine wasn´t once and i wondered why it always restarts again.
Some nice progs are:
Slide 2 View (Album like on the iphone)
Slide 2 Unlock (unlock like on the iphone)
Icontact (contacts like on the iphone)
Touch Response (get a vibration by pressing a button)
G Alarm (good alarm in the morning)
BT Remote (to remote powerpoint by bluetooth)
Thanks to everybody who develops nice tools like the "lazy tool" and shares his/her experiences with WM. Good job Friends.
Greatz,....

I feel like an idiot :(((

I recently (few days ago) bought my S710 (a.k.a. Vox) and it came with the WM5. So I found this forum nad Dr.Gonzo's thread about WM6.1 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384129), DL-ed the necessery sofware and followed the instructions (which seem to me like a peace of cake )
For some unknown reason I cannot finish the flashing of WM6.1, when I have to run the RUU I start the instalation, and after a minute or so (when the progress meter appears) the software says that the device is not connected. I tried this several times, always with the same problem.
what am I doing wrong? Please help me, so I don't feel like described in the subject of this thread.
P.S. and sorry if I made any gramatical errors, english is not my native language.

you should firstly uspl your htc s710!(first treath) do do this its necesary that you app unlock your vox(as described in uspl treath) then you can update to any rom!(made for your device!)

...let me explain...
Like in the manual, first I rebooted (hardware reset) the device, then run SDA application unlock, soft reset, copied the necessery files to the root directory, run heret.exe through the .bat file.
the penguin appears on the screen for a short time, then the screen goes dim (like described). this is the moment I should start RUU, which I do, but one of 2 things happen:
1) either the RUU doesn't even recognize the device, and reports to check USB cable. The screen remains dimmed,
2) or it recognizes it, shows the USPL-vox on the device and starts update. At the very begining of update (zero or two %), it says that the device is not connected. the vox screen shows some info, and it's three-colored - blue, green, red (if I remember correctly). the RUU software exits, and then I hardware reser the device, to make it functional, but still with WM5.
what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: It's actually WM6, I needed a program to tell me that

Seems like your USB port on the PC is not working properly with the Vox. Try another Port or better an other PC to execute these tasks.
Could also be the cable - this may be easier to change.

I don't think that is possible, it's the same cable I use for connecting through ActiveSync and it works flawslessly. Any other ideas?
it's a standard USB-miniUSB cable I use for my old motorola mpx200 and my camera, don't beleive there can be a problem there?

Just try it - AS transfers a few bytes - a ROM is several MB. This is no proof.
Windows (ROM Update) also talks to the USB port in a different way than AS, so why not eliminating all parts that are outside the device (you have no other choice anyway).
- new/other USB cable
- new/other USB port
- new/other USB controler (e.g. other PC)

Can you not upgrade new rom from htc site?

Should a valid simcard be inserted in the device ?

no, you dont have to insert a valid simcard...just tried it out

It did not work on my phone, but I think that this device is definitely dead...
I doesn't matter too much as I bought it to for pieces...

vox hangs at wm6 screen. soft reset fails. extract contacts before hard reset?
yes, i would love to get my htc vox back by hard resetting (flashing the rom), but my contacts are not backed up (yes groan, but ...* see bottom if you care/have time...) So, i want to transfer the contacts data out of my vox, without wm6. go on, mission impossible was a great flick, we all want to be tom cruise (except I'm not sure about the scientology stuff..)!
1. is it possible to go to the (green blue red screen) SPL stage (i.e. hold camera button press power on) and then via the laptop send commands to the vox to copy data from the built-in memory to the storage card?
my parallel is that a PC has a simple operating system 'ms-dos' which can be used to obtain data and get the computer back online if windows fails. This requires programming in the lowest level (os) language of vox, I understand it uses an ARM chip (http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...lateId=6123&navigationId=12000&contentId=4679). ARM/HTC websites refer to having 'windows embedded CE 6.0' but since my vox's bootloader does not finish loading wm6, I guess wm6 never gets fully installed into RAM so is not usable in this case. so...
2. has anyone tried this before? Anyone know a link to the command list for the vox's operating system? Any tips/corrections to the above?
Other relevant points, required for this solution to work:
3. what is the name (and do i also need the memory location?) of the data file containing the outlook contacts data?
4. does the HTC RUU ROM update actually install all the standard issue software, as well as WM6, including the ability to save Outlook contacts? link to software pack?
Thanks in advance..
(* - I dont have outlook on my laptop and was not aware until after the event that a work-around exists, yes my vox froze once before and when i checked that work-around was not developed.. (last time a soft reset removing the SIM and storage card did the trick. no such luck this time.))

[HD2 + S2U2] Problems with receiving calls

Two days ago I was forced to do HR and installing everything from the beginning (including a program S2U2). Previously this program had a perfect set up there that everything worked as it should. Unfortunately, after HR had to set options from scratch since it abolished the settings file.
And here the problems begin ... see if I have locked the phone S2U2 program and comes to me is a combination of:
first screen (turns and shows the caller's picture) inform me of this after about 3-5 seconds
second ring with the vibration is also included in the time (despite setting a ringtone + vibration)
thirdly, when I answer a call by sliding it all hangs ... slider is not working, the game is still ringing, vibration "beeps", the keys to lock the phone (along with the key with a green handset). Only one I can turn off the phone by removing the battery.
And what is strange when you restart your phone, such a combination is not recorded in the history of the device (as if it was not at all).
What can I do about this? Do you have any solution?
PS. Just please do not force me to re-HR (the latter has already resulted in almost two days removed from the life of uploading and installing everything back on the phone)

After several hours of testing anything new did not work.
And I tried off the SENSE (on a clean windows), enabled SENSE but uninstall S2U2 still the same: when I receive a call the screen locks up and I can not in any way to answer this connection (shown a picture of the caller and a ringtone that lasts indefinitely until the remove the battery) ... Sometimes when I set S2U2 slider can receive and answer the call even talk during conversations, but everything is blocked and only helps to remove the battery.
I also noticed that it stopped working light sensor which is not to extinguish the screen ...
OS: 5.2.21869
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.48.479.1 WWE
Radio: 2.05.51.05_2

are you still on official 1.48 rom? i suggest you to upgrade to a newer rom and, if you go for a custom rom, make a task 29 before that. I think there is not better option, sorry. btw, it is only my opinion. good luck.

You think so?
Previously (before HR) also had the same ROM, the same programs installed and everything worked well.
Or is it a problem or some settings SENSE software like S2U2, BSB Tweaks, XT Hacks2 etc. ...??
Well, but if only to help it load a new ROM to install the new Windows wchciałbym 6.5.x, the new ROM, the new SENSE etc ...
Can you describe the order in which what can I do?

are you using xt hacks2? leave that program, it may be the cause of your problems. still, you need to upgrade
i cannot guide you step by step as i'm not so good in english, anyway, if you go for custom rom first you have to HSPL your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
then you have to choose your rom, there are plenty out there, in the end you have to flash, it's not that complicated believe me, you will need 15 minute to do all these things. if you never flashed your phone you don't even need to perform a task 29 right now, just remember to do hard reset after you flashed the rom.
flash rom, radio, hspl are all done with same operations: plug phone to pc with activesync, launch exe files, wait

Ok I understand.
But in what order do I install it?
First install the ROM, next RADIO , then WINDOWS 6.5.3 (I have Windows 6.5) and HSPL?

windows mobile is already included in rom
1) HSPL
2) RAdio, this step depends on what custom rom you pick, there are custom rom with radio included, others without the radio (in this case you have to install suggested radio), see the rom thread for more informations
2) Flash rom
3) hard reset
take a look here, there is a tutorial for noobs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
easier way? install a stock rom 1.66, you don't have to HSPL and worry about which radio choose, it is all included

my GF has the same prob on her HTC mega (touch 2)!
on mine HD2, all works fine....

[Q] Vox/S710 - Operational Problem?

Hi,
My Vox/S710 is not working fine:
1- Doesn´t boot with the Micro SD Card instaled. I have to remove it to phone start.
2- Too slow, and i dont use several programs at the same time.
3- Alarm starts by himself!
I´m using WM6 Standard. I never try to replace the rom.
Please, help! ( sorry for my english).

It happens with the original Standard WM6 ROM.
Try any of the Custom ROM's from this forum..... all your problems will be solved.

The shipped ROM is also working fine for me. You should try the following first:
Soft Reset the phone on a regular base (once a day) - this will keep memory fragmentation minimal. -> Switch off/on once a day.
Run chkdsk on your memory card. Put in a card reader on the PC and execute chkdsk <drive:> /f on the commandline
Always really close programs when you start another. WMPlayer is a big memory hog, other programs may be as well. Use the Taskmanager to close them.
For the alarms check if the notification queue has some zombies left. Use sktools to clean that up.
If that all does not help only then consider a hard-reset. This will factory reset your device and delete all installed programs as well as data you have entered (contacts, email, text-messages, everything on the device). The device is then from software side in the state like new out of the box.
Putting another ROM on the device will be like a hard reset + you have a new ROM with some problems solved and others probably created. You could go for that only after you did a hard reset anyway.
