please help i think i messed up my mda using the rom kitchen

I ran it according to farias instructions I thought. It flashed but now I cant install anything and I cannot write to the storage card or the phone, any cab i try to install is unsuccessful and I cannot save any files to the storage card or the phones memory.
And it appears that I cannot flash the rom again. Am I screwed?

What is you IPL / SPL? IS your phone a G3 or G4? Can you get to the bootloader? (turn off your phone (pull the battery if you have to) then hold the camera key down while you turn it on). You can flash directly to the bootloader (even though activesync won't connect.
BTW: If this stuff makes you nervous, you probably shouldn't be cooking... Your phone will do all sorts of weird stuff when you screw up a build. And you should really know how to recover from most things that can happen...

I have done this before, this is the first time I have ever had a problem. my IPL/SPL is 2.26. And the phone is unlocked.

ok, cool... wasn't sure... So can you get to the bootloader?

yes I can get to it

I am flashing back to the t-mobile 2.26 rom. Working so far, I will leave the cooking alone. Can you recommend a good wm6 rom that doesnt have any problems?

"doesn't have problems" is the catch
I'm partial to my own Crossbow Reloaded ones, but they aren't perfect. If you don't hit the keypad issue with 1.7 though, its pretty close
Core 2.0n is very good and nice and clean.
Also NBD and Wizard Mobile 6 are both supposed to work well.
The new "official" rom we are playing with is beta, but I have to say its really fast and we aren't seeing much wrong with it (but its only been 12 hours since its been released). There are a couple of issues that are fixed with cabs (CommManager for one).
As for cooking, you probably eith had something wrong in a .rgu or somesuch. Just takes a number of builds and flashes to get it right to where it boots (then you debug what you forgot in packages and start over )

Flashing Nightmare: Stuck at Boot Screen + 264/274 Errors!

Yup, first time disaster. I followed the guide here, installed the necessary Cert_SPCS.cab/EnableRapi.cab files, rebooted, and then started the Shelltool update...only to belatedly notice a notification screen on my 8125 asking if I wanted to run one of the programs.
I said yes, but even though the update completed, my 8125 is stuck at the boot screen.
Worse, I reset the 8125 into boot loader mode and tried to flash back, only to get a 300 error. I tried to use an updated RUU and ROM set, only to get 264 or 274 errors.
Any hope here, or did I just manage to brick my 8125?

Are you trying to flash an offical rom while in bootloader mode?

Yup. Tried to flash the official 8125 ROM from HTC. Tried to flash a number of different ROMs, actually - I always get a 264 or 274 "Communication" error, except for the official ROMs, which gave me a 300 error.
Not looking good here...

Been there, done that. In fact, that was the thread I first read. I've tried to flash to Wizard_love, but I get a 264 error.
From what I've read in the RUU Docs, a 264/274 error is rare, and fatal in this case. It's not looking good...
(On the bright side, the iPhone release has created a flood of used 8125's on eBay )

I did a little searching for you,
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
I read some were how to flash a phone that has errors, I couldn't find that post. Maybe someone else here knows of that post You didn't mention is your phone G3 or G4 I did find this post, doesn't look good. I hope someone has a better answer for you, good luck.

Another post I found for you.

Thanks for the links, unfortunately it's still a no-joy situation here.
This is a G4 Cingular 8125 - sorry I forgot to mention that earlier.
ActiveSync was set to allow USB connections, and I've tried using the official RUU update utility from HTC for the Cingular 8125 with the 8125 in Bootloader (3 color) mode - I get an error 274.
I then tried the Wizard_Love version - error 264.
Next, the MB WM6 ROM - error 300.
Finally, in desperation I try the Shelltool app method again, even though I can't copy over the necessary bootloaders. It hangs up mid-flash, as expected.
Can't go forward, can't go back. Looks like I've got myself a brick...sigh...

upd: ahh, it is g4.....
so ignore whats below
it IS NOT brick ,trust me i had exactly same prob while testing cooked ROM - all yyou need is to download chinese rescue ROM, THEN flash it by its RUU, then RUU wLOVE, then flash ..anythin(g3)...and then flash IPLSPL, as it will be unequal, usually.
its unclear, why RUU cant do flash sometimes, but i believe, that you do not have brick( i had same situation 3 times = 14 flashes..;/ but machine is alive !)
of course, you may have same errors with chinese..if connecting, reconnecting etc is not working, then...use any rescue ROM closest to original, old hogs. check your firewall, and remember - SR device before EACH try - oterwise you surely will have 300 error - 1 try for each reset, no more.
chinese rescue ROM(you MUST flash wlove after that 1), or shelltool will lead you to...3bars.;/
http://pda.oleyek.com/ROM/Others/RUU_Prodigy_1070302_103_10703102_CMCC_CHS_Ship.exe
if its not working...maybe that 1..
http://rapidshare.com/files/29657481/RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship_tmob_rom.exe
maybe other...
wizard love rescue ROM:
http://rapidshare.com/files/8651097/Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar

Just a "happy ending" update:
Was just about to buy a new 8125 on eBay, when I gave it another try - hard reset the device twice in a row, then tried again to flash back to the original Cingular 8125 ROM -- it worked!
Then, in a fit of flashing madness, I went ahead and flashed one of Faria's latest WM6 sets -- and it worked as well!
So, not only don't I have brick, I actually got it upgraded. Whew...

Problem flashing faria's new rom. Please help

Hello I have a CID locked G4 HTC Wizard(T-Mobile MDA) and am trying to flash faria's new rom to my wizard. When I use the RUU I get an error at 99% and have to reflash the original rom provided by T-Mobile and then when I use shelltool(I installed enablerapi.cab and also cert_spcs.cab and restarted the device like instructed to do), I get stuck on the boot screen and this is what I get.
IPL: 2.26.0001
SPL: 2.26.0001
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.18.0.0
If anyone has an idea of a way to circumvent this issue, please help me because I really want to install this rom.
Thanks, Dan.

don't flash the rom using RUU method. Sounds like you aren't letting shelltools finish all the way. In shell tools install the two cabs wait a few minutes,restart, flash using shelltools, let it sit for about a half hour if it doesn't give you a end confirmation.

Actually i am installing both cabs provided in the shelltools download and then waiting a few mins and then rebooting the phone and then ran shelltools and waited untill it instructed me to hard reset and and did exactly as it told me to do and even tapped the screen as soon as the phone came back on as faria reccomended. It just seems to get stuck on the initial boot screen where it tells you your ips and spl.
Edit: Just tried again to flash the rom using the shelltools program with no success... I used the readme pdf and did exactly what it said to do and it just wont install. I think I'm just going to wait untill I can shell out the money to have the phone CID unlocked.
Thanks for trying to help me though. I appreciate it.

Are you flashing an official rom everytime before you flash a cooked rom? That's what is recommended. Have you taken out your sdcard when you flash, and turning of any virus scanner and also your radio? These are some suggestions to try. Reason why I said try again people have gotten it to go through on the 3rd or 4th try. Good luck on what you do hate to see you spend 40 dollars on something you can't for free

I tried all of that and nothing works. I have tried flashing farias rom i think over 10 times but i just cant flash it.
do you think there is any way to remove the ipl/spl and extended rom from farias rom so that it is just an OS like NBD 8.0? if thats possible then shelltool should be able to flash it with no problem even on a cid locked device.
my apologies for the bad spelling and punctuation, its 1am. lol

Help...Stuck on Boot screen

I have an old Prophet that refuses to boot to the Operating system. I see the Orange Logo screen with:
IPL 2.20.0001
SPL 2.20.0001
GSM 02.47.21
OS 2.10.1.22
I don't know if (a long time ago) I flashed a G3 phone with a G4 rom or what (would this be the result????).
I have also tried flashing all sorts of ROMs found on this site and even gone onto WIN 6 but it always halts the booting at this screen...
Can anyone help before this phone ends up in the bin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First you must flashed an WM5 Rom. Search for Qtek hier and read so many treads about this prob.

Thanks 4 the reply... I will have a go and see what happens.

I have now re-flashed a Qtec rom and still stuck on the boot screen with...
IPL 2.20.0001
SPL 2.20.0001
GSM 02.47.21
OS 2.20.7.34
Is there anyone out there with any idea how to get this phone back from the dead ??????

You have read the wiki ?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Prophet
You have download and flashed the qtek rom from this side ?
I don`t mean you do that.

I have followed the instructions on this site to recover my M600 but it STILL refuses to boot up....
I have tried various ROMs ect to no avail............
Can anyone out there resolve this ?????

Don`t cry like a little girl. What rom exactly have you flashed now ?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs
Are your battery over 50 % to flash ?

Battery is fully charged and the last ROM flashed was:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe
I have also tried this one:
Original-Shipped-ROMs/OrangeUK/Prophet_Orange_UK_ROM.zip
They both have the same result.

You start your phone - bring it in the bootloader modus -connect to pc - flashed the qtec rom you have - If this doesn`t go, I am on the end to help, and you are the first guy it doesn`t go. Sorry
P.S. Dissable Active Sync - Flash only with XP, no VISTA. No USB Hub - If you connect the device you must see in the left down corner USB and than flash

NEO.. I have done this and it will still not boot, maybe it's a hardware problem and it is well and truly "bricked"...
Thanks for your help and replies..... I will keep trying...

I had a similar Problem, have you tried a other ROM without IPL/SPL

Hello there,
I think I had a similar Problem, once I flashed some signed roms via
softspl (Neo Shadow 1.0), everything went okay till then.
I forgot the missing HardSPL on one of my Prophets and
Flashed with RUU Bikertibis 6.5 23007 wich worked fine
after flashing. Even with no hardspl it worked till flashing
the next rom...bricked.
Stucking in bootloader and even the Shiped WWE Rom with NVID
was not working. Stucking in the 3 color screen.
My Prophet was sold as TC-500 from german telekom,
so it had spl 2.56.001 wich only allowed Roms signet
by the vendor, also the NVID Rom you tried didn't worked.
but i kept trying and flashed RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_021921_QTEK_GER_Ship_NO_IPL_SPL.exe
don't know why, but it booted up with this rom.
After this i made a HardSPL and everthing is fine now.
if i read correct you have SPL 2.20.0001 so use G4 RUU.
Try flashing on XP X68! It's easier this way.
I use XP64 wich works to. disable powersaving
and everthing else what could interfer flashing.
good luck !

Flashing HardSPL Sprint HTC Snap (s511)

Ok, I'm kind of at my wits end. I've already bricked a Sprint Snap, and I'm trying to get HARD to display on my tri-color instead of 0000 before I try ookba's rom again.
But I can't. I've done everything correct. SDA application unlocker - auto.bat from the JockyW thread, JumpSPL and boot Rom Update Utility. Every time it goes to a 100%, but once I reboot and then hold volume down I still get
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B.
No luck. I've tried hard resetting my phone with brand new factory settings (my old 6.1 was heavily modded). I've tried XP and Vista. No luck. When I confirm jumpSPL my screen goes black. Then I run RomUpdateUtility while the screen is black. Is that right? Please advise me, I'd love to have 6.5 on my snap.

Please use the correct version of Hard SPL, suitable for your phone!(S 511). Above all use Jump SPL (depending on your SPL version) and follow the prompts in the DOS window. Just press space bar. On your phone, screen will turn black this is NORMAL!Then free to interact in any way with the phone and without disconnecting the phone from the PC will need to run Hard SPL.Again attention, according to your platform (S511).After all this if all is well you should install the favorite ROM .
Good Luck!!!

i have followed these steps
I have started the romupdateutility with the black screen and it completes to a 100 percent. however my tricolor splash screen doesn't change.

Strange ...Something is wrong there.Try on another PC, make sure Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center is working properly.But most importantly try another JumpSPL and HardSPL, those you have now may have errors or can be corrupt file.Had happened to me with my old Diamond.

what is supposed to happen?
The .0000 should say .HARD if the flash was successful right? If a phone is HARDSPL then it won't change after a hard reset right? I really can't get this to work... is there a newer jumpspl I should try? Everytime RomUpdateUtility completes with the black screen my phone reboots and nothing has changed

DAMN
I just bricked my second snap by trying a different version of JumpSPL, really really upsetting. I can't believe I did that again, all I wanted was my device to be HardSPL and now its a paperweight. UGHHHH no phone certainly isn't better than stock 6.1... I'm probably done trying to 6.5 this damn thing. I'm going to replace it and never mess with it again. Thank you for trying to help.

Sorry man, really sorry. And I agree with you, 6.5 is nothing better than 6.1 and I think so.I have 6.5 and do not see an obvious improvement or an addition to performance.Perhaps a higher consumption of resources.I think it depends on preference.In your case maybe not everything is lost.Read this very very very carefully: "Flashing and Unbricking your Maple" by Ookba.Even if they refer to Maple, can help you.Good luck!

yay!
After getting a new s511, I attempted this for the third time
Well, It worked like magic. .Hard is now visible on my tri-color screen. SO!
Now I can flash the ROM? Do I just turn my phone on to its homescreen and plug it in to run RomUpdateUtility? Any other precautions I should take?
@Johny, thanks so much man for all of your help i appreciate it.

Yes, theoretically should work without problems now.Turn on the phone then start running RomUpdateUtility. If Hard is visible, you are insured in case of failure to update the ROM. In my case...I did not succeed the first time this.Even if I did HardSPL, I could not install 6.5, an error occurs...All they have resolved JumpSPL.If you have problems post here. Good luck!
