Hi everyone. I am in need of assistance with shelltool. I've been flashing ROMs for quite some time and this goes beyond the scope of typical upgrading. I apparently had a bad flash happen and need some help correcting it. The OS appears to work fine, except some applications .cab installers exit before asking device or storage card. I have attempted to load the EnableRapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab; however, they exit almost instantly after starting them.
I had this situation happen once before and I was able to oddly enough try to load the original T-Moblie ROM through shelltool (didn't install at all), then try NBD 8.3. which brought me to a boot loader screen after doing a hard reset, but didn't install NBD 8.3. So far I'm not having much luck in recreating the experiment.
Is there a way to force a Wizard into bootloader mode using shelltool or some other utility? I can restore the device if I can get that far.
it's time for my first post
Hi, have been reading this forum for about 3 month and i enyoy it and learn a lot. Have been try about 7 roms and like all. It's time to payback.
Yo can enter bootload by pressing and holding the voice command button and then softreset, keep holding the voice command button util you reach bootload.
Other thing you can do is run the original rom by its executable program not using shelltool.
Good luck

Please tell me how did you restore your phone? i am flashed touchflo rom to my phone and some how it is stuck to the multicolor screen.
Can you help me out?
Thanking you in anticipation.
1 put phone into bootloader by pressing and holding camera button+reset hole. Keep holding the camera button untill you see the tricollor screen.
2 plug the phone into the computer (wait to hear the noise that it found hardware
3 Flash a rom you know worked (maybe your original/ maybe someone elses... maybe even mine )
4 wait untill the flashing finishes and "Tap Screen..." appeares before unplugging.
(If you have a G4 then I advise you to flash the original rom, or make sure your ipl/spl is propper. check the G4 forum to be sure, or ask Mestrini - The creator of the Wizard service tool. I believe he has a G4 and knows more about it than most)
Happy Flashing

Thank you very much for the response.
Unfortunately, i am still not able to flash the ROM. I did the follwoing steps, can you please help me letting me know, where m i wrong?

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.
Okay I got up this morning and my phone was working fine. But then I restarted it and it just booted to the tri-color screen. So i took out the battery and I did a reset and it just keeps comming back.
So I thought that the rom might have went bad, dont know how but I though I would just refalsh it to see if it works. I flashed correctly and said it was complete but just reboot back to the tri-color screen. So the flash will complete fine but cannot get out of boot loader. I tryed flashing original and cooked rom, same result.
So I thought I would try and flash back to an older hard spl, I have hardspl 3.29 right now so I thought I would try hardspl 3.28 just to see if issue would be fixed. So I flash it and it completes, then reboots to tri-color again, but instead of saying 3.28 like it should it still says 3.29. Wierd??
So I through I would give mtty a try and see if I could get past the boot loader. I tryed the boot command which gave me a command error so I did some searching and tryed:
"set 16 0"
"task 8" <- causes phone to restart and goes back to tri-color.
Right now I am stuck at this tri-color screen and I think I am never going to get out. This came up randomly my phone has been working fine for a while now until today.
Can someone please help me on how to make it work????
Thank you to anyone who provides help.
Hi sngskunk, I have a similar problem. After a radio flashing, my phone stopped in tri-color screen, returned to normal after 24h, then returned to hang on tri-color screen. By coincidence it happened after using the camera. I suspect that might be a hardware problem, maybe a short circuit in the camera button, but I will make sure after opening the unit and clean the contacts of the button.
I am going to try and take the phone apart and look at the camera button to see if that is the problem, but is there a command in mtty that will boot the os, after the bootloader.
Because i have tryed the boot command and that doesn't work in Hardspl 3.29, I get a cammand error. I have tryed resetting it but if the camera button is stuck then it is going to go back to the original tri-color screen.
Okay so I toke my phone apart to check the camera button, the button looks fine didnt look dirty or full of dust and I check the micro switch and it seemed okay. While the phone was a part I turned it on to check to see if it would boot to the os, but it didnt it stopped at the spl, and I know that the camera button wasnt pushed.
Going to try and install a new radio just to see if that fixes it, if not, I am all out of ideas.

Try flashing a shipped ROM via MicroSD
I tryed installing a radio by itself, didnt fix it.
Installed original shipped rom from microsd, flash when perfect, said it was complete, reset it phone and it came back to the tri-color screen.
There is no "RUU**" i dont know what else is in that string but some people get in at the top of the screen when they are having my problem, but mine does not have it.
I would try going though the FrankenKaiser steps and see if that works? Just an idea
I looked up the post you are talking about and I am confused on it, because if I have the phone connected with the usb cable and use mtty. There is no command named dload.
Code:
cmd>dload
Command error !!!
Ofcouse now that I look at that post again that was in the spl, I cannot get to the radio boot loader the way he says, holding down the green phone and turning on the phone doesnt work just boots into the spl again.
Okay well i found a good post on how to do it but I get errors on the commands becuase in the post he isnt using hardspl 3.29 the cammand is the following:
rtask a <--- gets command error

I try these steps on saturday, but hardspl 3.* don't suport rtask command . If nothing more resolve, I am putting my chips on this tool (read post 6) ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415839
I've run into the exact same problem.
I just turned off my phone, turned it back on and now it's just stuck.. can't load anything.
2nd time i've had a problem with this phone
Ok so i've also noticed something else with this problem.
Basically, what had happened, I did the same thing as the first post. All I did was reset my phone. I turned it back on, and i'm stuck at bootloader screen
When it is loading, it flashes the screen to a complete white screen that says "Loading. No Image File!"
Then it goes right back to the bootloader screen and that's that.
It seems as though hard resetting, mtty or flashing back to original rom does not work.
Does anyone know what the heck is going on?
@kjb, have you tried the suggestions by AllTheWay and myself in the other thread you posted in. It's very hard to keep up when issues are on going in 2 threads. Please stick to just one, I suggest the other one.

hmmmm, ok for mtty it's not working. There is no USB present and I can't select it.
It won't allow me to do any of the settings just by selecting COM1 or COM2.

No. Nothing was disabled. Activesync was not present at all either and nothing was in the task manager.
Few things i've noticed:
a) when flashing to a new rom (or attempting too) there is no image listed in the previous ROM
b) my phone would be off, I'll plug it in to the USB and all of a sudden my phone will turn on right to bootloader.
Don't know if that makes a difference, but it's just some observations for you guys.

No you need to disabled USB connections in Activesync for MTTY to work!
Hi
I get this problem too often and I dont know why and what I did do when I dont get it. This is the case.
Now I have flashed the g3 wizard with one of the wm6-manilla roms. I have succeded with this once so I have followed the guides with the unlocking and downgrading etc. Now I have downloaded a new cook and try to install it by starting the rom update utility wizard.
Problem is that the installation ALWAYS fails now. It starts, the device disconnects from activesynk, waits another 30 seconds then fails to restart the device so I get the dreadful Error 260 update error and the phone is dead. I remove the battery, restart the device and try again and my hair turns grey.
I figure I need to downgrade first so I try all the differens RUU's that are pointed out in the guides (CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe, ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship.exe, Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe) but always the same problem.
What am I missing?
WinXP
AS4.5
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
Once downgraded and CID unlocked,a G3 device will remain CID unlocked forever,there's no need to downgrade everytime you flash a new rom.Just simply flash a new rom whenever you desire.So don't reflash Button's Rom 1.05 before every flash,its just required to flash once to get IPL/SPL 1.xx for CID unlocking,after which there's no need to reflash it again.
Error 260 is due to open port,so reboot your pc and Soft Reset the phone,hope it'll work fine.If you have reflashed Button's Rom 1.05 and downgraded,it wud be better if you perform the CID unlocking procedure again through lokiwiz02b or WST_4.2.2,after that upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx by either flashing T_mobile 2.26 or any official aku 2 rom,then upgrade to any wm6.1 rom.
You can even take out the battery and leave it for 30 minutes,after that put it back and try to flash.
Hmm.. now I have rebooted the pc and disconnected the battery for 30 mins. No luck. Still the same error.
There must be something I have missed. I have flashed with several roms before w/o any trouble.
I am connected to activesync as a guest on usb-cable.
Oh i didnt downgrade because it failed that too. So right now im on a wm6 manilla pretty good rom but the wifi's gone
Try flashing from bootloader:
* Hold down the camera button and then softrest without letting go of the camera button.
You should se a pretty tri color screen with IPL/SPL Information.
* Connect Wizard to PC using usb and wait for windows to detect the drivers if they are not already installed.
* Start your RUU and follow the steps.
Normally this error occurs when trying to flash under vista, if this is the case visit a friend who has XP and take some coffee
It gets worse im afraid.. and I am under XP.
Now the phone wont pass the t-mobile bootscreen. It gets stuck when showing the IPL/SPL information.
I fail to enter the bootloader. Hopefully im doing something wrong.
I have tried this:
1) Holding down cam-button and pressing soft-reset. The phone boots as normal but stucks at same place.
2) soft-reset and when sceen goes black, hold cambutton. Doing this makes the boot halt totaly and the screen remains black. Looks like it turns off cause the softreset wont work and I have to press the powerbutton to get life signs again.
How (exactly) do I get it into bootloader?
Evolution... i managed to do a hard-reset and got the phone to boot up again. So back to square one with not being able to use the ubs+ruu
hmm very strange.. in a desperate attemt to get into bootmode i held down the voice-button instead of the cam-button and then power-on. Not it worked! Mystic....
***
update! problem solved
In case anyone else reads this. I rebooted the pc for the 10th time, rebooted the phone at the same time and (a dramatic paus here) i pulled the usb-cable and placed it in another slot in the pc. And there it goes...
I dont work with computers... i work against them!
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!
