how can i extract a bootloader dumped to sd card in windows or mac or linux? (preferably mac or linux cause they have sd card readers and i can't find my usb one)
Just to confirm that mine's still working fine with Bootloader 1.00 (as if anyone would doubt Mamaich!)
freezing problem with ActiveSync 4.2
Do not connect the Universal to your desktop unless you have ActiveSync 4.5 installed in the desktop or it will freeze your device.
Disable ActiveSync connection in Universal until ActiveSync is updated.
ActiveSync 4.5 beta 2
http://www.redirectto.com/?go=645c1c6e5b
Regarding instruction 7:
# Put the Universal in bootloader mode by pressing Power + Light + Reset, which brings up an un-backlit screen with "Serial" at the top, and "v0.XX" at the bottom. (A lot of people get an error message if they are not in bootloader mode. They can install the ROM a second time. If you are in bootloader mode, you won't get an error message.)
I dont get what you mean by press Power + Light + Reset? Are you talking about the button on the phone? On my O2 XDA Atom Exec there is no light button..cuz when i open the bootloader exe it goes this is not a valid win 32 program. Bootloader is not meant to be opened from the PDa but from your computer but i cant open it.
>> # Put the Universal in bootloader mode by pressing Power + Light + Reset
> On my O2 XDA Atom Exec there is no light button..cuz
So, is an O2 XDA Atom Exec an HTC Universal then?

Probably why it doesnt work..so i cant upgrade to WM6? I realyl dont get why Australia only have the ATOM and not the Exec?
Quick Question
I upgraded to WM6CB which I aquired from torrentspy, and the upgrade was sucessful. The device turns on after upgrade, and the extROM loads up. After the reset, a window pop-ups saying that I have illegally aquired this ROM. Im not sure what I did wrong. I used the maUpgrade file aswell. Any help is appreaciated.

I've never seen that, sounds like someone's either added in that popup as a joke, or it's from a ROM dump of one of the RTM or MVP builds, and your devices IMEI is different to the one it was for.
I know MVP's had the option of getting Crossbow, but they had to send their device to Microsoft to have it flashed. Perhaps these builds have something coded to the IMEI.

Hi!
I have using it for 2 days. Initailly it seem difficult to install soft. But now easer, the RAM still down like WM 05, Soft Reset time quite longer then Ivan test 2's ROM. But the icon look very nice.
Alan, i think u should add the solution for "stuck in the bootloader" problem, by using UNI_exitbootloader.exe. this is much simple than using mtty IMHO.
i JUST BOUGHT A NEW O2 EXEC, AND TRIED MY BEST TO UNLOCK cid AND SIM, O2 APPARENTLY SHIP THEM UNLOCKED, SO I TRIED AND IT WAS. TRIED TO cid UNLOCK BUT NO LUCK KEPT GIVING ERRORS. SO I BEGUN THE INSTALL CROSSBOW LATEST, AND IT THEN WAS STUCK ON O2 SPLASH SCREEN, TRIED TO REFLASH WITH THINGONASTRING, NOW ITS STUCK ON BOOTLOADER, SAYING V2.01 AT BOTTOM AND SERIAL OR USB (WHEN CONNECTED), I HAVE LOOKED AND TRIED ALL OPTIONS, I TRIED UNI_EXTBOOTLOADER, AND THE OTHER ONE WHEN I WAS STUCK IN SPLASH SCREEN. NOTHING IS WORKING, THEN I TRIED TO SEE IF I COULD INSTALL OFF CD WITH O2 EXEC, BUT CANNOT FIND RUU. THE ONLY WAY I CAN NOW GET INTO BOOTLOADER IS FIRAT ATTACHING THE USB CABLE THEN BOOTLOADING, I CANNOT DO IT WIHOUT USB CONNECTED, BUT IF I TOOK THE USB OUT AFTER I HAVE GOT IT INTO BOOTLOADER, IT STILL STAYS ON. WHEN I ALSO PRESS THE RESET WHILST USB CONNECTED, THE LIGHT ON O2 EXEC FLASHES RED EACH TIME PRESSED?

Hi vistar,
Hopefully, you will have it sorted out by Christmas!
Yes, it is Vista problem and you need to change the USB Vista driver in your PC to XP driver.
I don't mean changing the Windows Mobile Device Center to Active Sync 4.5!
But the USB drivers. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
I believe that the first post should solve your problem. If not try the others. Basically, in Device Manager of your PC, the USB driver should be the old XP driver dated 2004!
Any other year won't do you good!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
KOR!
It is highly recommended NOT to use Vista ... even with the proposed driver patch.
I have developed a Radio ROM issue because of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347375
If you are using Vista, it is highly recommended for you to use Virtualisation and install XP.
I have been using XP under VMware forever without problems as far as flashing my Qtek is concerned ... until my Vista mis-adventure that is. I know that VMWare is not free, but you may want to give http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx a try.
I flash my two Universal at least once a day under Vista with no problems at all.
Flashing Radio, CE ROM and ExtROM with Vista hasn't created any problem for me.
Vista like XP automatically install latest update from Microsoft site, this update also includes drivers too.
Just before flashing make sure that your old 2004 driver is not changed to the latest 2006 or 2007 driver!
That's all folks,
KOR!
will try the threads above thanks, i have tried in vista, and also i use vmware too, with xp pro spâ. which seems to work better but get error ăđă, radio update error, i think i have wiped the radio??? as when the first screen comes up it says:
from,
Radio:
EXT Rom:
Bla bla:
to:
Radio: 2.?.??
EXT Rom: 2.2.??
Bla bla: 2.2.??
I cant remember what numbers came up, but it was blank at top and version numbers at bottom.
any help would be grateful
ok i got it to work , through vmware, i ran PsiDOC_WM5_20041_Taster, which worked think its WM̀ still but its back on, I want WM̉ though, i'll try again.. some advice wouldn't go a miss. thanks.
Note: If anyone has problems blame vista..... Good OS, Bad PDA Partner...
ok every rom i try fails with the following: Error 114, Radio Rom Upgrade error.
why is this??? i have looked through the wiki and forum, people have had this problem before, but no answers.
I have this when WM5 loads up,

42.42.p8
2.00.41 WWE
and bootloader v2.01 (G4)
just incase this info is needed.

If you have tried all the links I have given, you could have easily upgraded the ROM to Windows Mobile 6.
Read carefully, my above post #3.
Did you know that you could just flash the CE ROM (Main ROM), if the Radio is not flashing.
KOR!
KOR support center !!!
How do i Flash that alone? do i just remove the radio file from the WM6 folder and run RUU again??? just to confirm...
Thanks M8 much appreciated.

Read the four links, I have given you.
1. nk.nbf (CE ROM - Main ROM)
2. ms_.nbf (Extended ROM - Storage ROM)
3. radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
If the ROM is in .exe format, than excute the ROM without hooking your universal to the PC. In the temporary folder, you will find all the files.
Read,
KOR!
sorry what i meant was how do i flash the files to the device??? i have all the files ready..
do i remove radio from folder then execute RRU? or do i use a different way?
Thanks for your support KOR!!!
the later worked perfectly on my G4 device, i ran the update without the device attached, put into bootloader, and found all files in temp directory, then removed the radio file. connected the bootloaded device, then ran the update, it worked straight away, only in xp/vmware though.
Thankyou..... I really mean that KOR..

Hi Vistar,
You are welcome. If you download the drivers from the first link in post #3, then you can use Vista without any problems to flash your device.
Just make sure that the driver is dated 2004 before flashing the device. Check the driver for the Portable Devices ->USB Disk in the Device Manager of your PC.
Best Regards,
KOR!
BTW, I did reply to your PM.

Perhaps that's because both your Unis are G3 - and mine is a G4.
Hi
Hope somebody can help.
I can't seem to get JumpSPL to run on my Kaiser (yes, im attempting to run it from the PDA not PC).
the unit was a replacement, which when i received it, had WM6 (dont know whatSPL, i guess the default version on all new Kaisers from November 2007.)
Anyway, I upgraded it directly to 6.1 (Official UK O2 rom - which of course doesn't need hardspl flashed).
Ok so then I updated the Camera software to v5 and oh no...radio is incompatible!
Now, Can't upgrade radio to compatile one until I get hardspl installed but Jumpspl not running, (to fix white screen).
HELP!
you have to run a sspl first
copy this to your phone then run it, after you see the usb unplug then replug and run the hardspl ruu
I ranthe file you attached, getting the white screen...
See here. It might help.

When you see the unsigned application message ("This message is from an unknown publisher...", select yes.
I used JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.EXE on my Tilt.
DUH! I know you try to help but that's not what im saying, the JumpSPL.exe's dont even run at all, i get a similar error to that of a !applciation is not a win32 app" as you would ona pc. The kaiser doesnt recognise the exe's. If i got the message "from unknown publisher" i know eough to click yes, but doesnt get that far.
The unit seems to have KAIS130 SPL-3.29 (im guessing this was because of the Official ROM upgrade from O2 of WM6.1.
Is it unable to be hardspl's now?
UPDATE:
Got bored, frustrated with above issue, went to sleep did it this morning with fresh head following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922 again. Thanks all for your valued help.
Hello All,
Normally I don't post and do a lot of reading, there is a lot of reading and a lots of headaches.. But never the less it is a bobbyist game. So this is the few time that I post I hope it help some of you guys out there having problem with the flashing of your Rom. But if you brick you Treo don't blame me O.K.
First of all..follow the unlock and unblock guide by navenedrob in this forum. till step 11..I can't do the SD card flashing either..so I just put the (whatever rom file without renaming it) in the tempche directory( that is the directory it generate itself when you run the Cheetah unlocker program.) then run the RUUWrapper program, then it should do the update for whtever rom you want..sometime it will tkae a few second before it takes off to update..so be very patient..and wait...
Once that is done you have to do a hard reset while the Palm logo is showing. then you should be able to do whichever rom you want..
I was able to flash back and fore from the WM6.5 to WM6.1 without any problems.
BTW I am running this in WIndows 7, I don't think it matters..but I can put the Treo in a Boot mode( the tre color screen) and the Cheetah unlock program still find it. IMF I think the cheetah program find it fast in that mode..so give it a try.
If that still don't still don't get you to where you want to be, then I guess do some more reading. there is a tons of good reading material in this forum.
Sorry for the long post..and Good Luck
yup, before that you must had step 1 running as well (connected your treo to activesync)..
How can I connected and run the unlocker if I stuck in palm logo ?? If I runs the cheetahunlocker it will stop at error connection...
Nothing to do if the phone alreary stop the activesync ... isn't it ???
Attached you find all you need to flash cooked ROMs on your HTC Snap 511 (Willow).
The sspl/hardspl are confirmed to work fine on the HTC Willow platform (HTC Snap 511).
It will not work on the HTC Maple platform (Dash3G). Running this sspl on a Dash3G will definitely brick it. Also the HTC CEDAR platform (Ozone) is not supported. For the Dash3G and Ozone I have already developed a sspl/hardspl.
The packages contains a SSPL, HardSPL, patched ROM updater and the original Snap S511 SPL. The package is based on SPL v0.34
Instructions:
1. remove SD and SIM cards (don't forget otherwise the sspl is likely not to work!!)
2. connect your device to your pc with a USB cable and wait until it is synced
3. extract the file "Snap S511 HardSPL by JockyW.zip" and execute "auto.bat"
4. follow all instructions given on screen: first the sspl is copied to the device and executed. You must confirm running JumpSPL on the device: first time you must click Yes to allow it to run, you also must click the trackball to continue execution of JumpSPL. The device display will turn dark and after that the romupdate tool will install the hardspl on your device. (the identification string in the tri-color bootloader screen is "0.34.Hard")
5. to test the sspl and the hardspl you can flash a splash screen
Once the HardSPL is installed on your device you can flash any cooked or original ROM.
A donation for my work would be highly appreciated
Have fun,
JockyW
PS: Moderators please make this a sticky. Thanks.

Once we install the hardSLP on the sprint snap, which cooked roms can we use? Are we going to need one specially cooked for the snap 511?

Raleigh, NC. My next vacation isn't till the week of Christmas though, so maybe someone else can step up in the meantime. I'll also be out of the office again for a week in the spring.
first off, thanks so much to Jocky and Ookba for all the work you guys do! but i'm having some issues. i've dont a lot of searching on here and i can't find a solution hopefully someone can help me. i can't get the hardspl to run successfully.
my bootloader screen shows this:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B
i'm using windows 7 (through VMWare on my iMac), everything seems fine until the pop up on the phone, i click the button (the not really a trackball button) and the screen goes black, i lose all connectivity through WMDC and the Rom Utility gets error 266.
If i don't click when the pop up shows on the phone, the Rom Utility will show and then the phone will go into the bootloader with USB written in the white area then i get the error 266 again.
of course there's no sim because it's a Sprint s511, and the sd card is always removed.
what can i do? i'd really love to get 6.5 on there, but i'm at a loss.
The fact that your running on a MAC with VMWare makes me think the issue could be in the connection...
Im not even sure if Win7 works, i could be wrong however. You wouldnt happen to know of anyone that has a WinXP machine would you?
I did try in vmware with XP and Activesync, but it did the same things. I have a Dell that I was gonna make a hackintosh, but I'm gonna throw xp on it and try using that machine. I was thinking it was the vmware too, i guess i just wanted one of you guys (you know, the one's with a clue! LOL) to confirm.
I applied the HardSPL to my snap using Windows 7 and everything went well

Thats what it sounds like... Good to know it works on Win7 though SPIK3.
Thanks Black_V!per for responding and all. I did finally get it going! I set up the dell with XP and it actually didn't work at first. I had originally unRARed the package on the iMac and just copied the unarchived folder over to the XP machine, thinking it would save me a download, but it didn't work. So i just dl'd an RAR utility for windows and unpacked the RAR on the xp machine and it worked perfect. originally the Rom Updater said it couldn't find the nbh file. all's well! And i'm loving 6.5!!
Thanks again Jocky and Ookba!!!

Must have corrupted during the download... Havent seen that since my 56k-days.
Glad to hear that!
First off, I appreciate everyone's hard work throughout this whole process.
Unfortunately I am running into a problem. The auto.bat is able to copy the JumpSPL file and the .nb file to my phone just fine. However once the Rom Update Utility starts the flashing process, the phone shuts off.
I did a hard reset to my phone, and went through the process again. The JumpSPL notice popped up on the screen, but then crashed when I hit OK. I know it crashed because the Windows Error Reporting popped up (which apparently I had disabled before I did the hard reset, so I never was able to tell if it was still running).
So then I manually ran the JumpSPL file. This time the memory box popped up, so I hit OK with the Jump Address at the default 0x00000000. It then asked which SPL file I wanted to use. I chose the .nb that was copied over. Then the Windows Error Reporting screen showed up again.
I'm not sure what is going on, but hopefully the details I just provided will allow someone to figure something out. Thanks.
BTW: My phone is a Sprint HTC Snap S511, and my splash screen is the same as the one posted before:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B

Is your phone applications unlocked? When I did mine it gave me a bunch of errors because it wasn't applications unlocked. Also make sure you remove your memory stick.

How would I go about checking this?
I remember on my Samsung Ace, before the 6.1 update, I had to install an "application unlocker" that allowed unsigned programs to install. Is this the same thing with the Snap? Also this is the Sprint version, so I don't have a Sim card, or anyway to typically "unlock" this phone.
EDIT: Ah, now I know what you mean. I found the SDA Application Unlock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563761
The Rom Update Utility finished successfully! Now to move on to the next step... Thank you SPIK3
No problem, glad I can help.
