Possibly the fastest phone brick in history... I did everything wrong...
AT&T Tilt, Windows Vista host machine
I ran the SSPL, NOT the Hard-SPL...
16% thru it failed
Rebooted, tri color screen, but not the same extact screen I had seen after running the SSPL on my Tilt.
Hard Reset, said yes take me to factory settings, back to same tricolor screen
Plugged it into a XP box, drivers installed, plugged in USB (it shows USB connection on the screen) Activesync of course wont go green
Loaded both the Kraiser rom and the Cingular rom, both fail at 1% and reboot the device and same invalid device ID..
Any ideas, aside from I'm a r-tard?
I ran the Hard-SPL on my HTC and it worked as it should. I'd say give that a shot, THEN try flashing the ROM of your choice.

Problem is, when I run hard spl it expects activesync to be running, but in bootloader mode AS doesnt connect so Hardspl wont load =/
- Disable activesync usb connections
- Connect to bootloader with mtty and type the following commands to know your CID and Model ID:
Code:
Cmd>task 32
Cmd>info 2
Cmd>getdevinfo
Paste the output here, and also tell me which SPL version you have on your device.
Also, does the tri-color shows "RUURUN" or similar in the screen?
You should flash a ROM matching your CID to fix it.
Cmd>task 32
No card inserted
Level = FF
Cmd>info 2
HTCSCWS__001Ùü¤HHTCE
Cmd>getdevinfo
GetDevInfo: Get CID OK
HTCSKAIS1*00CS_0HTCE
Cmd>
Device screen says
RUUNBH
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
Flash this ROM, should bring it back to life.
I'm leeching it now, 40% done, also FYI, I've posted on the Official ROM forum new links to most utilities and ROMs hosted on my servers off the rapidshare, to share free of charge.
Ahh, life saver =) Thanks, I'll be sure to add that rom to my list of full Kraiser roms on my web server, now to correctly flash it back with the HTC rom.
Thanks!
Same problem as TS. Bigger problem ... does anyone have the Dutch ROM?
Tnx!
I got the same problem as Palmore. After 16%, stuck, then bricked. I am downloading the ROM pointed by POF (thanks man!!) hopefully will unbrick it. Now, how do we get the HTC Kaiser ROM on this thing? Anyone?
It's on my phone. Tell me how do dump it and I ll send it to you.

Run the Hard-SPL utility on your PC, and follow the instructions (sticky on this forum)
It will allow you to flash any ROM after that, I've flashed the AT&T Rom, the HTC rom and back and forth, pulling cabs out of the AT&T rom for the items I like (IM utility etc)

If you are a r-tard, it must be catching - same situation here at 16% and 1% now......

Hi Wouter,

I will see if I can dump the Dutch ROM myself and see what happens next.
Thanks for your help anywhy!

Ok, so here is my situation. I have a Tilt and Vista.
I ran HardSPL and I am at the tri-color screen. I have:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.JumpSPL
CPLD-8
USB (in the middle of the screen)
I tried disconnecting and reconnecting it several times. I cant get HardSPL to run again (it hangs at the first section looking for ActiveSync) I tried restarting Vista several times. I can NOT turn off my device, as holding down the power button does not appear to work.
I have tried just running a couple of .exe roms (AKU 0.7.0 ROMS) and I get the connection error [264]. I cant re-establish my ActiveSync connection. In device Manager I have Microsoft USB Sync for the mobile device, but I cant get ActiveSync (Mobility Center) to see it.
I have tried opening MTTY to run "boot" but it says USB Port Can NOT be opened.
I just need some direction here, as it seems like everything hinges on my ActiveSync connection. I have been up and down the Wikis for Hermes and all the similar ones, and I think I am SOL.
I WILL GLADLY DONATE if thats what it takes for someone to help me. Thanks guys, I cant wait for my HTC Rom to work.
Vista Problem.
First off, i had the same problem as you so i just found an XP box to use.
Second, even with XP i still managed to **** up because i did not read the directions all the way through. This device is totally different so make sure you read all the directions.
If you have no access to an XP machine then u can just "obtain" a copy of XP and dual boot just for flashing your device.
If you have no idea what I am saying then read some more. the hermes forums have some great information when it comes to flashing via Vista.
For all you guys that just saved between $300.00-$500.00. How about sending POF like %5 or %10 of what he just saved you...
I'm just sayin'
Later, Lew
Have you installed the XP activesync drivers under Vista? The Hermes Wiki mentions somewhere how to do that.

I got it working. I had to pull the battery out of the phone to get it out of bootloadr, it was just plain stuck. Then, in Vista, I needed to F8, disable driver enforcement, I replaced the wceusbh.inf in device manager, and relaunched HardSPL and there she was! Now for the BigStorage.
Thanks to all that helped, I will be donating pof for sure
Hey guys, I am trying to flash Dutty's newest rom, but im having some trouble...
When I double click the RUU.exe file, I put a check in the checkbox, hit continue. then put another check, hit continue, then I get an error saying:
"Error [200]: Invalid update tool"
"Please get newer update utility"
This is odd because I read on the Wikki that you get this error if you don't have HardSPL, but I do. In fact, I have flashed at least 4 or 5 different roms on this phone. Another thing is that my phone isnt in activesync mode, and for some reason when I try to install activesync (directly from microsoft's website and from the CD that came with my tilt) I get an error saying that it wont install... And another weird thing is that this never stopped it before, I have flashed a rom without it being in activesync with the computer...
When I tried to install Microsoft's activesync directly from their website, I double click the setup.msi file, and then it says :
"preparing installation..."
"The wizard was interrupted before Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 could be completely installed.
Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.
Click Finish to exit the wizard"
And this happens every time I try it... I have tried redownloading the file and I get the same issue... I even checked to see if maybe I downloaded the wrong version (like the vista version or something) but I downloaded the correct one.
Now, when I try to install activesync from the CD that came with my Tilt, I get an error saying that I need to update my Adobe Flash Player, So i click on the link that it gives me, and I updated it. Even though it is currently up to date, I STILL get this error every time I try, even after restarting my computer.
Any ideas?
put the phone in bootloader and tell me exactly what it says there.

I can't help with the active sync problem (you don't have vista, do you?) but as for flashing...flash from the sd card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158

OK, with the phone powered on, press and hold the camera button and insert the stylus in the reset hole until the tri-colored screen comes up. This is bootloader. Tell me what it says there, exactly.

After you put your phone in bootloader mode as P1 said, you will see something like this:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
Once you make a record of what is displayed, reply back with it.
ok, this is what it says (in the top red box):
KAIS1* MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
Then in the white box it says: "Serial"

Since you already have it in the boot loader just keep it there and try to flash it, see if you get any errors that way.
What version of Windows is on your computer?
If your running vista you need the mobile device center, not activesync.
Im using windows XP, I will try flashing while it is in bootloader, I edit my post once I see if it is successful or not.
**It did not work when I tried flashing from the bootloader screen, I got the same error
which rom are you flashing your device with?
I am trying to flash Dutty's newest ROM, and right now Dutty's 3rd or 4th newest one is on my phone.
after you put your device in bootloader, and connected it to the pc, did the word "serial" change to "usb"? and were drivers loaded for the device? there should be a htc usb sync or microsoft usb sync in your device manager

Yea, I dont see either of those in my device manager...
Sounds like you're missing the drivers. Need to roll 'em back to the XP drivers.

You use google or XDA search via google. Try ROM flashing with Vista, etc...
Remember, there is a lot of valid data in Hermes forum as well
jjb, I had the same problem the other night on my home computer with XP. Luckily, I did not have the same problem with my work computer, also with xp. Something happended on the home computer to fcuk up the drivers (i'm guessing, as GSLEON pointed out). I had the same install issues with Activestinc. I had these issues in the past (at least 6 months ago) and was able to finally get Activestinc installed after rebooting multiple times. This time I only tried once before I waited to go back to the office and flash. I'm not sure what to do to rebuild(?) the drivers, but you might try a different computer. Also, my google search (for the 200 error) the other night pulled up a different web site that listed a lot of error codes and what they mean. I'm gonna try and figure out my driver issues with activstinc this weekend and I will post if successful.

Thanks for the input... im going to try re-installing windows when I get the chance and hopefully that will clear up this driver issue.
rather than going through all the trouble trying to solve this problem, i would just flash using the microsd card
I finally got connect between my HTC Touch Pro and OSX (parallels + Activesync)
I am trying to run RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3 and everything goes well, but when it trys to connect to the device to start the mod, i get Error [202] Connection. I have tried enabling/disabling Advaned Network Funtionality in Connection settings, but that did not help. I have tried manually going into bootloader (when the transfer is about to start, I hold VolDown, and reset, and wait for Bootloader to go into USB mode). That didn't work for me.
My question(s) are, how can I get the HardSPL running, or how can I get my deviced flashed in general (SD method didn't work)
AND: My version in HARDSPL is stated to be 1.95.502.5. Is it OK if I downgrade to 1.90.1.3 in order to allow custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance.
Parallels doesn't play nice with the USB bridge.
Try boot-camp (works for me).
I crashed my first Kaiser, flashing with Parallels. Couldn't recover it after the usb connection cut out mid flash. I sent it in for warranty exchange, telling them it crashed while doing an " official " rom update. luckily no one looked too close and they sent me a replacement.
Now I only use Bootcamp and xp. And after more flashes than I can count, I have never had a problem.
I got my Fuze about 2 weeks ago. Been trying to flash to rom since day one. I started off with parallels, was detected and everything, but when I would run HardSPL, the connection would time out at the point where it was about to send the files, and boot the device in bootloader mode.
I have now partitioned my macbook, installed Windoze XP Pro Sp2 onto bootcamp.
Here is the problem:
I run HardSPL, all goes well until the application attempts to put the device into bootloader mode. The application never detects the device, and just times out stating error [260] Connection
If anyone has a solution of sort for this, i would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Solved: Ran the manual SSPL provided, and it successfully connected after about 3 minutes.
I'm normally good with stuff like this ^_^
Not today though
I promise, I followed the instructions to the letter, trying to install WM 6.5 on my phone (S710). I did the USPL thing first, then basically did the exact same thing with the files I got from the WM6.5 "Official v1.0" thread. Is that the right version of WM 6.5?? I'm a bit lost. So I feel like I did the USPL stage twice.
Now here's where things get weird.
When I get to the RUU stage, ready to install - activesync stops recognizing the phone. Says it's not connected. The RUU however sees the phone, but shows blank for the current installation. I press 'update' and both the phone and the RUU go to 100% in about 2 seconds (so obviously it's not doing much).
I reboot the phone and it's like nothing ever happened. Back to my crappy version of windows (infested with my stinky network's own software).
Have I given enough info? What am I doing wrong? Should I start again from the beginning? If so which files should I have and like I said :'( what am I doing wrong?
Epic love and hugs to anybody that can help
x
i've had a problem similar with this. make sure the uspl is done properly. and you must run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe first. then uspl: uspl_116_jockyw.bat, after all done, phone will have black screen, run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from uspl folder. (the tutorial is in the archive of uspl). aftel all that install new rom. i have wm6.5 official v1.0 too, work fine.
oh, you may try to start flashing from bootloader(turn off phone, keep the camera button pushed, and insert usb cable)

MS has added "exchanced ...." checkbox in USB to PC connection - just disable it (uncheck).
when checked - works only with synce on linux but not with activesync on XP
