I've been flashing around with english roms to see if it changed the bloody problem with the phone going into a reboot loop if a SD card is inserted.
This didn't fix it, and now there's apparantly no danish rom available from Telia, and since this isn't a Dangaard branded phone I dont have access to the ROMS on www.qtek.dk :-(
If anyone has a nordic rom of sorts, please save me from binning the phone
Edited the title to make more sense now
If ur phone only reboots with sd card inserted it means something on the sd card is causing it. Format your sd card on a PC and try again.
That's obviously the first thing that came to my mind aswell. I've tried formatting it, I've tried using a different card, etc. No use. Ends up in the reboot loop with a card inserted, boots fine without it. I can then insert the card after the device has booted without problems, but next time WM6 hangs or whatever, same problem.
Have u tried resetting the device by pressing left and right softkey simultaneously and then power on? Alternatively try the clear memory program in the experts folder.
Tried hardresseting it and using the clear memory program yes
Well then it can only be a hw defect. Get it serviced.
I've read others have this problem aswell on some of their phones. I can't really turn it in for service with a non-nordic rom anyway, so if noone has a nordic ROM they can share I'll prolly end up whacking it with a hammer...
Is your device CID unlocked and can you flash any ROM?
Have you tried flashing the Dopod 1.19 ROM?
What exact ROM version was on it (version#)? Did you then down- or upgrade it and to which version? Did you make a backup of the ROM using pdocread as described in the wiki?
I would leave the hammer in ur toolbox for now. I'm pretty sure the thing can be rescued if it is indeed caused by a bad flash.
The problem wasn't caused by a bad flash, I bought it secondhand only about 2 months old, and it's had it straight out of the box. Obviously the seller didn't know anything about it having this quirk...
I tried flashing it with the 1.19 dopod ROM (Had 1.14 nordic ROM initially), still same problem. I did a backup with pdocread, but can't make pdocwrite work, complains it can't write to the filesystem.
Since your device is obviously CID unlocked, it looks feasible to create a flashable file from your pdocread backup. Take a look at my bootloader thread, there is a link to another thread where that is covered.
I personally believe the previous owner CID unlocked your device and maybe it didn't completely work in the way it should. Please make a backup using "bkondisk" and post the IPL (128kB) and the SPL (512kB). I can check these files, perhaps the hw is not properly set up by any of these.
Isn't the IPL and SPL replaced in the standard RUU flashes?
Normally yes, but in ur case maybe it is skipped.
Why don't u dump it so we can check it.
Radio is also interesting.
Have DK ROM - will give
Drop me a mail. Then we an figure out how to get it to you.
This is the file.
ruu_vox_htc_noric_1.15.402.4_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_ship.exe
would be nice if you upload it to XDA developers FTP site

Great! I've sent you a PM, can't get your email from this board
I've now flashed it back to the danish rom, and done some further testing.
I've found out that the phone boots fine with either the simcard OR the SD card inserted, but not both at the same time.
I've also found out that this problem seems to be a problem with 64k simcards, and not 32k simcards.
With a 32k simcard everything is just peachy.
Anyone got suggestions?
Edited the title to make more sense now
Seems that both 64k sim and sd cards draw too much current.
Looks like a HTC design flaw.
Did u try other sd cards?
Tried another 1gb card, they're both Kingston though. Both work fine in my P4350 / Herald.
Try with another brand and smaller sd card.
And now that you have your nordic rom back on, I'd also request service from HTC.

Hello guys...
Iam not new, and i have already flashed my first(it was wasted not by my fault)KAISER, it was one year ago and i did it with HARDSLPv1, and lately added some new roms cooked by sakajati(respect)...
Yesterday i bought new one(but one year old) so i tried to flash him as well, i have used HARDSPL 1.93, and then i tried to put Sakajati"s 4th feb ROM, but i come across one big trouble, everytime i try to put it on i encounter the same RUU error:
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
what to do...????
i am very afraid that i destroyed my Kaiser...???
what it means that Wince is destroyed...
Please help me, i am desperate...
Iam not new,

But the solution could be found here (search)
If you see the tri color screen everythng is ok, just win mobile is destroyed. Try to flash a rom from your sd card
Thank you very much...
I hope it will work, i really did search for about an hour and tried to put rom on sevral times, but i didnt find nothing 100% secure, i dont want to indanger the unit any more that i did...
thanks again, i will try it tommorow morning at my job, thats where my SD card is...

Part of the problem is that 1.93 is a jump spl and should be used to upgrade to Hard spl 3.29 or 3.56, not as an spl on its own. You need to run jump spl 1.93 from your device and make sure you are connected to your computer, when you see the bootloader you need to unplug your USB, count to 10 and plug your USB back in then flash a hard spl to your phone! Again 1.93 is not a Hard Spl by itself, it is only a middle man to flash a Hard Spl.
I think the best would be to flash a stock rom at first, cause therefore you don't need an other bootloader. Then flash Hardspl (3.29 if you have a kaiser or 3.56 if you have a tilt) and then flash any rom you want
i obviusly have a lot to learn, mate how do I asses if I have TILT or KAISER, what is the main difference...
[email protected]: i have already DL the stock rom before i posted the tread, i hoped on that resolution if there were no answer...
in about 10 hours from now i will get my hands on my tilt/kaiser and hope to arranged the mess i done; I drop by in any case at that time and notify you about condition and my successes...

It realy doesnt make that much of a difference, I have a tilt and I use 3.29 and I would recomend it to anyone over 3.56 so flash either one, they will both work! And your english is great so no need to say sorry!

A Tilt is a At$T branded Kaiser, a TyNT II is a HTC branded Kaiser. Tilt has a different keyboard and OEM rom., only differences. People say use 3.56 if you have a Tilt because that is an AT$T Spl, but I use 3.29 on My Tilt and it works great so it doesn't really matter.
hey...
nothing seems to work...
I have tried to put default rom dl from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs but the problem is that it is not bootable from SD, that has to be because the USB conection isnt on (i selected the 3.34.721.2) so i given up that way
Then i flashed the HARD spl 3.29(have kaiser) via SD steb by step first with this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835; and it dint go through
so i tried with this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683
it didnt work either, they are the same I know(noticed later);
So problem is that i stuck at WHITE screen that says "LOADING..."
nothig else...???
finally i manage to load/boot the htc rom from xda-wiki site, but i have to chose another one

Hey man, nice to see that your device rewakes, you can flash every rom from sd card, simply rename the nbh file to kaisimg.nbh than restart into bootloader and it will automatically take the one from the card
Unfortanly, althought i would like you to be right, you are not. When i tried to do it via SD, i stuck at white screen saying LOADING...(blue) and nothih further... and i tried also the Cmonex_s Hard SPL3.29_SD which also stucks at same screen
So now (after updatig with default rom) that i have basicly normal working device i startet from the top. Using @mskip"[email protected] tutorial called: Flasing your first rom (for noobs); it all goes well, till i start to update RUU(sakajati 4 feb) if it matters, and i tried both (spls 1.56 and 1.93), it stops updatig at 17% and notrhin else then works just puting back the HTC default rom from wikiXDA side(thank god for that)
i am thinking of MTTY, although i dont know what it does guys here almoste all say it fix bad rom flash, but i am not sure if thats my main problem, i rahter think it has something with spls...
if someone has some good advice i will be very grateful...

Hi,
I couldn´t flash my Kaiser via SD at the first time and tried something that worked.
The SD´s are formatted in Fat16 usually, try to format to Fat32... It seems like a stupid thing, but worked for me.
Reagards and good luck.
SD must be formated FAT32, to work, also I sugest a smal card, 512 or something like that, SHDC usual doesn't work
I have 1GB SD and its not shdc, so thats ok.and i have done it right now, like you two guys said so i formated it with FAT32 but still no succes.
I guess that this tree lines in red/green/blue screen arent right:
KAIS130
SPL-3.02.0000
CPLD-8
i thing this SPL has to da something to do with all this mess a have done
I have flashed a couple of roms( i had three devices) and i flashed a few for my friends and all was OK till now, and i dont know what else to do...

Yes, you still have a stock spl on there. It needs to be hard spl'd before you flash anymore. Check out the stickies at the top of the forum.
hi again...
Well, I respect the "rules" of forum, thats why i wouldnt ask for insructions that are already written(thanks for the authors) with that i mean stickys, because i read them, almost all...
But I still tried once again, and I came across the same thing, i stuck at 17% when loading RUU or if i choose the VIA SD i stuck at white screen with blue text saying (LOADING...)...
nothing else helps than loading the dafault ROM by HTC... as i already said once again...
if i manage to solve the problem i will be in touch; what do you thing about MTTY
Edit 1:
i have done everything as it says in the instruction, and just like some of you "replyed" me...
but i always stuck at 17%when loading RUU, when i flash it with SPL 1.56 or 1.93 i never get stuck at white screen it always apeare the mentioned SPLs nimbers and some other text in yellow but when i then load RUUs i stuck at excatly 17% nothing less nothing more
edit 2:
yupi....yupi
i made it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061 here is my lifesavior...
those instruction were the one that helped my problem...
it is very nice to ba a part of this community....
First of all, thank you to all the modders out there. Next, thanks to everyone who gave a little time to help me with my problem.
A little background: I have an ATT Tilt, it is about 18 months old and for the most part has been functioning great. I have had several different ROMs on here - I probably have had 12 or so ranging from 6.1 to 6.5 and back. I have been using HardSPL for as long as I can remember. The most current ROM I had was a clean 6.5 Build 23003. It was working really well, except for sometimes I couldn't get the phone to come out of sleep mode and I would have to soft reset. It started happening more and more frequently, so I decided to reflash to Ultimate-X2.V6 -23004. As I was reading through the thread, he recommended HardSPL 3.34 and Radio 1.71.xxx. No problem I said, so I went off to flash 3.34 to replace my 3.56 SPL. I was using a 1.65 radio, but I never got the chance to upgrade.
So thats where the problem starts. When I try to flash the 3.34 SPL (following the instructions and using JumpSPL) it flashes, but then the phone doesn't reboot. I figure the SPL wiped out something, so following the recommendations in the Ultimate X2 thread, I attempt to flash the ATT Stock ROM. I start the phone up in bootloader mode (the bootloader still says 3.56 - interesting eh) and then flash the ATT Stock ROM. The ROM installs but the phone never reboots...
I have tried flashing Radios and other ROMs and redoing the SPL, but the phone just doesn't boot. I can reliably get to the bootloader screen, but it still says 3.56. I tried following the Wiki for "Kaiser Stuck in Bootloader" and flashing ROMs or SPL that way, but it still doesn't work.
I would also love to give you guys that diagnostic information (I should have done this last night) because I was able to view it, but now when I try to boot KAISDIAG.nbh from the memory card it just sits at "Loading...".
I have tried just about every step of different ways of flashing, different SPLs, etc. If there is anything anyone can recommend or try I am more than willing.
Let me know if you need more information or I need to clear anything up.
Again, I appreciate everyone taking time to read this and offer up their expertise.
Thanks,
OutrightLie
Only thing i can suggest is flashing 3.56 again with th SD card. Then 3.34 with the SD card. Or have you tried that already?
Just wondering... do you removed SIM card before flashing your new HardSPL?
I *think* I have tried that.
Does JumpSPL do anything other than put the phone in Bootloader mode? Or is all I have to do, just copy the *.nbh to the memory card, rename it to KAISIMG.nbh and then let it go. If JumpSPL does something more, I may be in trouble because I can't get to an OS.

I did remove it the first time, and a few times after that while trying stuff. The first time - for sure. Other times, it was in or out while I was just playing around with stuff. Hopefully something I did subsequently didn't make the problem worse.
Are there any steps I can take to if I did leave the SIM card in during a troubleshooting flash that screwed it up?

From SD. You will need kaisdiag.nbh and then rename Spl to kaisimg.nbh. Have those both on root of card.

I will try that. I need a memory card reader here at work, so this may have to wait until I get home. The only roadblock I see, is right now I have just KAISDIAG on the memory card and it gets stuck at "Loading..." when I attempt to boot. It didn't do this last night, but this morning it seems get stuck there.

I have one in my share folder. Might wanna get it and format the card..remember it has to be fat32 and replace the kaisdiag and SPL just to be safe.
I will give it a shot when I get home tonight - unless I can find a memory card reader before then.
Thanks!

Note your sdcard should be formated FAT32
I just got home. I copied the KAISDIAG.nbh and the 3.56 bootloader (called it KAISIMG.nbh) to the memory card after formatting it to FAT32. It attempts to load the KAISDIAG, but stops at "Loading...". I tried both a 2GB SD Card and an 8GB card, still no luck.
Any other things I can try?
I am in deep trouble here and could really use some help please. My ATT Fuze is not being detected by any PC and i have tried everything from different wires to changing everything on the fuze it self. Now my only option is to exchange it but i don't have the original OS because i am using NRGs Rom and hard SPL it about 4 months ago. Now to my question, is there anyway i can revert it to stock ROM and SPL with micro sdhc card? I need some steps please because i cant find a way to do it. Would i have to change the OS and the SPL to return if there is anyway please let me know.

First, what OS are you running on your PC.
Second, have you disabled/Enabled "enable faster data" in Settings/Connections/USB to PC?
Third, Have you deleted the partnership and tried to reestablish it?
Doesn't seem to be a warranty issue.
Fuze Reply
First of all thanks for your reply.
I have tried it on 4 different computer but unfortunately same result on vista and XP, on my phone i am using NRG july version rom.
I have disabled and enabled faster data in but doesn't seem to matter.
I tried everything, i reinstalled windows mobile device but doesn't seem to matter. When i ended the partnership it wasnt being detected after it or before it.
Cant i exchange it because its a faulty phone? Also can u please tell me if i can revert it to att stock rom and spl with a micro sdcard because i am going to buy a card reader. I really don't want to toss this phone and waste all that money please help!

Yes, you can revert via SD card.
Do Radio and ROM first, then do stock SPL last.
Rename each RAPHIMG.NBH (one at a time) on a FAT32 formated card 2gb or smaller.
Go into bootloader mode and it should flash from there.
I would test your USB connection after you flash back to stock ROM before you flash the stock SPL to see if it may have fixed your issue.
Huh
Thanks a lot man!
Now the hard part , why do u say a card 2gb or smaller?
So i can revort the SPL with a micro sdhc card also? can u tell me where i can find this stuff, i am really sorry for the trouble and would really appreciate it if you can tell me step by step because i am a noob
Hopefully ATT exchange it for the usb issues , gotta check with them after this. Thanks

I've heard that anything over 2 gb will cause an issue but I have done it from an 8gb card.
Start here for issues encountered.
Basically once you find your ROM Radio and SPL, extract the files so you can see the .NBH files for each.
1. Take the ROM file and rename it "RAPHIMG.nbh " without quotes.
2. Place it in the root of your storage card and enter bootloader mode (Volume Down + Reset), the phone will read the image file and begin to load it.
Do this for each file but wait until the first file has loaded.
Radio.nbh will be renamed to RAPHIMG.nbh
SPL.nbh will be renamed RAPHIMG.nbh
As one is done loading, remove it from starage card and put the next one on and repeat step 2.
Another thread regarding SPL.
I hope this helps you and sorry I don't have the time to walk you through it.
Just read first then you'll know what to expect.

my best guess is just in case the bootloader doesn't have drivers for SDHC cards... my x51v has drivers for SDHC in WM, but flashing requires SD cards because the bootloader doesn't read SDHC
revert SPL or no?
Hey thanks bruce!
One more question, should i revert the SPL even tho i changed the radio and os. When i go to ROM version it says 1.95 but is that the SPL? Also you think ATT will take the phone back with the phone not syncing reason or do i have to make up some other stuff up? O btw the 8gb kingston card worked fine for reverting it and it still doesnt detect the phone

To be safe I would revert the SPL as well.
The 1.95 is the ROM build base.
You want to revert back to stock SPL 1.90.
I can't second guess what AT&T will cover or not but you may want to "further your cause"....
Best of luck!!!
in my experience (my UK t-mob vario is back at repair right now) - DONT revert the SPL if you cant do it from the USB.
Obvisously you have a different setup to me, but when i tried to revert my phone to stock for exactly the same fault (no usb sync, regardless of pc or cable / phone rom, state etc etc) i managed to get the phone to refuse to boot due to a spl / rom difference. As i couldnt load from usb - i couldnt flash anything new, and as i had managed to overwrite hard spl - i couldnt flash what i wanted from the SD card! (if i could get the usb to work, i could fix it all - but as that was the problem i had to send it off fubar)
For some reason (god knows why!) it appears that t-mob are repairing my phone under warrenty despite the spl error but i wouldnt advise getting yourself in the same situation, as i was 100% expecting it to come straight back to me!
My personal advice is send it off with the correct rom, radio & splash screens (and remove security unlock if required) so the phone looks stock - the only difference will be the spl version. They probably wont notice!
1.90 or 1.95
Thx for the info guys, my new phone is coming and it took me about 2 to finally on its way. About the SPL, mine says 1.90 and that was when i first did the hard spl to change roms. What is the stock SPL 1.90 or 1.95? at loading it hows me 1.90 olinex i think...also i can change it if needed with my 8gb sdhc card or no?
I had a problem with my PC not detecting my fuze a few weeks ago. I found out it was my new firewall blocking the connection. I disabled the firewall and it worked like normal.
If it were me i would try to connect again after you flash the stock rom. If there was something wrong with the usb it still wont work. If it connects to activesync the maybe it was your ROM, or something else.
Just a suggestion
First of all please be gentle! I am a complete novice and this is my first post. I have a Touch Pro on a Vodafone contract. I downloaded the recent ROM software upgrade from the Vodafone web site and began the transfer to my phone having followed all the advice. However, the download got stuck at 12% and no matter how many times I start over again it will not go past that point. Worst still the phone is now locked on a red/green/blue/white screen with the message "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again". the error message on the Vodafone software download is No 302. I have tried Vodafone technical help but as I was due for a new phone anyway they have sent me a Touch Pro 2 but don't seem to want to help me resolving the problem with my "old" phone. It is only 5 months old (replacement insurance phone) and in good condition but useless if it can't be made to work.
Can anyone help with simple instructions on how to download a ROM that will work. If not does anyone want to make me an offer for the phone? Currently locked on Vodafone but I am sure you guys out there have the skill to resolve that one.
Many thanks,
Hollybeau
So, they aren't asking you to send it back, I take it? If that's the case, then the first thing I would try would be to flash with the stock rom, if you can find it (not the upgrade that quit on you). If that doesn't work, then just try to flash hard spl. If hard spl goes through ok, you're golden and can flash any raphael rom you want. If it doesn't, the phone is probably toast. You got a new one, so just use the old one as artwork.
Thanks Farmer Ted,
Unfortunately I do not know the orginal stock ROM. It is not on the Vodafone web site and the HTC site keeps telling me that all the likely candidates are "not suitable" ( I assume this is beacuse it is some sort of Vodafone variant). I am afraid that "flash hardspl" means nothing to me - I told you I was a novice! Can you direct me to what and where please.
What bugs me is that here is a phone worth £200? but for a problem caused by Vodafone's buggy software upgrade.

Best way to find everything you want to know about flashing ROMs.
Lol.
Hard SPL is a bootloader that allows you to flash any rom you want (not just vodaphone). It also has over-write protection, so if you get into the situation you're currently in, the phone won't be bricked. If you can flash it (make sure you flash the gsm version in the raph rom forum), you are fine and dandy.
If you can't find the stock rom online, you may be able to flash the upgraded rom off of your sd card (I believe this will work with a stock rom and stock spl, but am not 100% sure). Re-name the .nbh image file to RAPHIMG.nbh. Format your sd card (1-2 gb works best) to FAT32, and put the image on the root of the card. Go into bootloader (well, you're already there, you may not need to) by holding volume down and soft resetting. Hold vol. down until the tri-color screen appears. At the prompt, press the power button, and let the flash run its course. Soft reset when it says that the update was a success. Let the phone boot up until it gets to the the alignment screen, the hard reset and boot it up.
If you don't have an .nbh file, and instead have a .exe file from vodaphone/htc, then you should be able to extract the contents with either winrar or 7-zip (google) to get at the .nbh image file. I've done this before, and it works fine.
Many thanks to all who have replied. I have fixed the problem. It turns out that it was the download to my PC that was at fault. I downloaded the Vodafone software to my lap top and ran it from there and it has recovered the phone. I now have a spare, and working, Touch Pro. I may try the HardSPL and other ROMS just to use the phone as a test bed. Alternatively, anyone out there want to make me an offer?

Ask in market place and you will probably get some takers
Hi!
I am facing problem with my Orange SPV M5000. The device hangs up. I have to reset the device and after the Windows splsh screen a blank page appears and the device hangs. I have to take the battery and the Sim from the phone and then without putting in the Sim restarts the phone. It, then, behaves normally and boots properly. Then I put the Sim again and restarts the device and then it boots normally.
I have flashed the device with a number of cooked ROMs and the result is the same. I have noticed that normally this happens whenever I put my device in the pocket of my trouser and on certain other occassions as well. Have already get my device checked for any loose connections. Everything seems in order.
I would appreciate if I am guided on this.
Regards,
Haque

Try following method:
1. Doc Format
2. Flash WM5 (one with SDHC support)
3. Make HR while on WM5
4. Re-flash cooked ROM (I'll suggest Goldrake WM6.1 )

I do not consider myself an "expert", but have you tried replacing the battery?
Just trying to eliminate possible causes.

Hi! Orb! Thanks for the tip. Haven't tried as yet but I will do this. A brief of the issue for more clarity:
I have got my device's RAM upgraded and it worked perfectly alright with flashing and testing of one version or another. No issue at all at that time.
The problem started from the time, I first DOC formatted and flashed the ROM by Tomal. The command I used was TASK 32 and the TASK 28 55aa as stated in the instructions using MTTY 1.42. Since then, I was not even able to run WM5 (but the other cooked versions worked fine). Have tried skiping the screen calibaration process using some utility and found that WM5 worked good but once a soft reset is done or the device is switched off, the screen does not appear. Once flashed with WM5, after the device logo screen, either a white or a colored screen appears or after the windows splash screen preventing the OS to boot up and the processes after that. While installing any other ROM, the device worked 100% okay.
Afterwards, I noticed that the device started to hang up even using any ROM despite a number of soft/ hard resets. Have also noticed that the device started malfunctioning and does not boot when the SIM is inserted. After trying for a few times the device starts working with the SIM. Once the device is restarted even with full 100% battery the blank screen appears and the device does not go beyond this. Taking the battery off for a couple of minutes will help the device to boot properly but after a number of tries.
Have Doc formatted the device a number of times, hard resetted but to no use. Installed almost every cooked version the result is the same. Even got the device checked by the mobile repair shop and it was said that the device is okay hardware-wise and if it is mis-behaving it is because of the software.
Guys I need help to save my device.

Well,,I'm not an expert too.. But from your story it looks like something is wrong, either with your device (some intermittent problem with SIM card circuit inside) or the SIM card it self. Why not you try to change the SIM card first? To make sure that there are no problems with your device, bring it to HTC authorized service center..

Hi! Thanks for the advise. I'll take my mobile and get it rechecked at the repair center. As regard the SIM card, I have already checked it and there's no problem with it.
