Big Problem! Help Fast Please!

Alright so I had previously tried to flash roms and failed miserably. I've been scouring this forum since before I got my Kaiser (I got it last Fri.) and I thought I understood how to flash. Anyways...fast forward after failing miserably, I'd been getting along with just .cab files and installing things that way....fast forward some more to my problem.
I was trying the steps found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061
And I got to the tricolor screen, and USB appeared at the bottom. Well...I unplugged and replugged it and Vista made the USB noises and now I have this "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in my task bar. Nothing is happening, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to remove the hardware, but I'm having some serious troubles. I just want to flash Dutty's v4 rom onto my device and gof rom there.
Someone please help me, if anyone is available now and they wouldn't mind walking me through fixing this my AIM is xdemented3x
Please please please, someone help me.

Stuck on tricolor screen after trying to flash JumpSPL 1.56-KAIS on my AT&T Tilt
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.Jump
CPLD-8
USB

did you hard-spl? what do you see on the tricolor screen?
did you try to simply connect the tilt to vista via miniusb and run the exe from duttys v4 rom?
do you have a win xp computer around?

I'm on campus in college, and only have my Vista laptop. If things get severe enough I can go home and use an XP Home pc.
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.Jump

^^^ Thats what I see on the screen.
Should I try to connect it and run the v4 exe while on the tri-color screen?
Thank YOU SO MUCH for trying to help me. (^_^)

From what I see, you have run the softSPL.jump on the device, so now you need to flash hardSPL from the pc - leave the device as is ...Once you have flashed HardSPL then you should be fine to flash roms

I can't do anything, I'm stuck on the tri-color screen. Should I press the reset button with my stylus? I've tried holding down the power button to no avail.

No, dont reset phone yet, have you tried to flash HardSPL as per the instructions? ---- Phone NEEDS to be in the bootloader mode you described to be able to flash HardSPL

unfortunately it seems that your device is not hard-spl'd. if it had been, it would have shown:
SPL-1.0.OliPof.
from the tricolor screen, try to install the Hard-SPL. Read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
it might happen that it deosnt run from the tricolor screen, case in which i wouldnt know what to do by heart, so only suggestion is to read first sticky posts and see if you may find some info in there.

Alright thank-you for your help guys.
I HAVE $5 for the person who leads me to getting my phone working with Dutty's v4 rom on there, just some incentive for you guys. I need this help asap!

you may try anyway to press the reset button. in case it does load windows, youre saved. in case it gets stuck, you press the 2 buttons on the righthand side of the kaiser (power and camera) and do a reset with both of them pressed and you end up again in Bootloader mode...
if you manage to get to windows, go for the Hard-spl in my post above.

You have'nt answered my question.. Have you tried to flash HardSPL from the PC whilst phone is in Tricolor mode? ( with USB showing at the bottom of the screen) If so what happens?

I'm running the Hardspl v1.exe on my pc right now and I'm stuck at the instruction where it says "Make sure ActiveSync is enable, hit ENTER to start..."
I hit enter, and nothing has happened.

Ah,, you are trying 2 different methods at once!! you started by using the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.zip from the thread you pointed to... you should download, and copy to folder on the pc the flash-hardSPL.zip from the SAME thread, then follow the instruction in THAT folder.. that does NOT require Activesync.. Or you could try the HardSPL.exe you are using, but with device booted to windows.. then you start with activesync.

Tried the reboot, and it came up with an AT&T flash screen before hte 3g animation.
The splash screen said "Not For sale, Test Only" Or something like that.
I still dont' have my SIM or MicroSD card in and Windows had booted up. I'm about to try the Hard SPL.exe now.

Alright....so now that i'm back into windows should I do the JumpSPL thing again and wait till I get locked into the tri-color screen? Or should I try the flash-hardSPL while in windows? I'm confused....

You, sir, are well on your way to winning...scratch that...earning $5, lol. It seems I have successfully flashed hardSPL to my device now. From here can I reinstall my SD and SIM cards and run Dutty's v4 .exe on my PC to install that?

Yep, if HardSPL flashed, you should be fine to flash the rom.. You no longer need to use the jumpSPL

Alrighty man, Thanks A CRAP TON!
One more thing though, when I downloaded the zip for dutty's v4 and tried to extract it with WinRar it gives me an "Unknown Method" error. Also, it never asks me for a password. How do I get through that?
EDIT** BTW Whats your paypal?

There is an answer to that in the Dutty V4 thread (post 2) - with alternate download - seems to work ok

OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Its at 7% as I type this..just went up to 10% w00t...finally flashing a rom!!! THANK-YOU SO MUCH!!!!! You have just earned yourself $5!!!! THANKS SO much bro. Whats your paypal? PM it to me....I need to send you the money, thanks again SO MUCH! You definitely earned this...

Dont worry, glad to help..

Help!! Can I Revive My Tornado!!!

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.
Khernden69

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

Flashed ROM not loading

If the answer is one this site already I apologize to everyone but I have been searching for 3 days now and no joy.
I will try to keep is short and simple.
I have been flashing for the last year now and have never had trouble until now. Flashed Duttys ROM released on June 5th I believe. Went great but still had old HardSPL on my phone. Followed the steps to flash latest SPL 3.29 and it never took. As a matter of fact something happened to the USB and my pc was unable to recognize the device. So I was stuck for the moment and had to leave that way until I had more time.
Received a phone call and when I hung up it went to white screen with call graphics at the bottom, missed call, received call, etc. I soft reset the phone and then the Tri-Color screen came up and this is the info:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.0lIPof
CPLD
I am assuming this is the first HardSPL that I loaded. So then I preceed to flash via SD and it says that the flash completed and was successful. However when I soft reset the phone goes back to the Tri-Color sceen and does not load the image I just flashed.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get this phone working again? I am open to any and all suggestions.
Thank you in advance

does the bootloader show ruunbh on top?

ok this should be an easy fix! the poster above asked the right question!
lets start from scratch now though ok,
-first download SSPL.KAIS and save it to your memory card.
- Download Which ever hardSPL you would like to use.
- run SSPL.KAIS from SD card and then flash New HardSPL, check to make sure it flashed right by going into bootloader should say what ever SPL you just flashed.
- If that flashed correctly then proceed to flashing the HTC WM6.1 shipped ROM, which can be found on the forum! Make sure its a NON-cooked rom...
- If that flashed correctly then pick which ever custom rom you would like and flash that, make sure that flashed correctly and if so your done

Austinsnyc,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Sorry just a few questions and one statement.
The phone is in the Tri-Color screen state constantly. The only way I can load the bootloader is if I rename a ROM to KAISIMG.nbh. Then is something akin to ROM, radio, etc and when that flashes they will have an OK next to them. Alright with that said a few questions.
Do I have to rename the SSPL.KAIS file, it does not run as is? When loaded on the the card, Tri-Color comes up and then for a brief second is says, Loading.....No Image File.
Do I load both files on the card at the same time and do I have to rename them? i.e. KAISIMG.nbh
Thank you for your help

No it doesn't. I will say KAISIMG.nbh, the ROM I renamed to load. Then is list all the features of that ROM, i.e. OS, SPL, radio. I flash it and it says success but still will not load.
Thank you

thesire,
I will research the this more. It does say usb on the phone with plug in otherwise when unplugged it says serial. When plugged in I can't see usb in the drop down in MTTY. I will keep reading.
Btw, it now says RUUNBH in the top right hand corner.
Thanks

that means you have bad data blocks which can also be cleared using mtty.

I must be very thick, I can't get MTTY to connect. Every time I plug in the USB to my Vista OS pc is says it can't recongize the device and it has malfucntioned. I know the USB is working, it was up until I was having this problem at least.
So I start MTTY and look for USB in the drop down for Port but only COM 1 & 2 show up.
So any other suggestions you or anyone else may have is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your patience

with Vista you need to use Mtty 5.13 which can be found in the FrankenKaiser radio from hell thread. There is also a guide on how to install the old XP drivers to WindowsMobileDeviceCenter that helps a bunch with USB issues. Also I think you miss understood me the tri-color screen is the Bootloader screen!!!

I don't think it means bad blocks for sure.

Ok. I have read just about everything I can find on MTTY, old XP drivers (which I already have installed) and I still can not get anything to work. When I plug in the phone via usb, pc says it cannot recongize the device and it must have malfunctioned. I have tried MTTY 5.13 numerous times and still cannot get usb to show up and have been unseccessful with all my attempts to connect via a COM port.
Is there any place in NYC, Brooklyn or Queens that I can take this phone too and someone with more experience can fix this for a fee of course? I just and need to get my phone working again.

So I have another question since I have been unable to get anywhere with the dang thing.
I am unable to get my laptop/pc to recognize the phone, I can't even get drives to load. Been searching and reading and still looking for a solution to this issue. If you know where is answer is in this forum could you please point me in the right direction?
Aslo, if someone is willing to spend the time with me to solve this issue get the phone running again, I will be more the happy to donate generously.
I think this can be solve quickly if I could get the time with someone.
For the folks that have replied, I can't thank you enough it has been a great learning experience.
Thanks

Same problem here. Please help!

I was incredibly pleased with the results.
The phone ran better than ever till this morning. The sound stopped working, I soft reset and now I cant get past the tri-coloured (boot loader ?) screen.

I cant hard reset, it just goes back to the tri-colour screen.

The best thing for you to do is contact GSLEON3 to see if he can help you out.

Thanks for your response.
I somehow seem to have gotten somewhere.
I just repeatedly kept trying to hard re-set, taking the battery out, connecting USB.... and then it hard-reset.
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
I wonder if you can recommend a stable ROM? I love the speed and battery life of the one I installed but dont like the idea of being between meetings and having a phone in limbo.
Thanks again.

Oups ?

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.

Hello, thanks for your reply, tried frankerkaiser, nothing happen, it is not change the state, as the phone power on, goes to ruunbh error on the right top corner.
Is there any other way to unbrick my phones. Thanks a lot.

Hello
You must have MTTY.
First conect your HTC to the computer, disable Active sincronization, open MTTY to conect with your device from USB, push ENTER and afther that you have:
Cmd>
Write boot and push enter:
Cmd>boot +Enter
Afther that your HTC must restart and can make a soft reset.
