How to fix trashed bootloader?

All,
Somehow my bootloader got trashed while swapping memory cards and I'd like to easiest fix to get it going again. (At Tri-Color screen) If I plug it in and run RUU_Kaiser_Cingular_WWE.exe (I'm running nonbloat Tilt rom) it'll start the upgrade, stop at about 1%, but the phone will boot and everything is there. So I'm just looking for a quick way to make it stick so I don't have to do that anymore..
I'll play with cooked ROMs soon, everything is working GREAT for the time being and I don't wanna reinstall!
Thanks all!

Doesn't sound like you have HardSPL installed but this should fix your problem (at least your issue sounds very similar) ... after you get it fixed you should consider installing HardSPL.
Credit to pof for the instructions below which were part of his now dead SSPL thread for Kaiser:
For those of you had the phone stuck in bootloader mode after flash with SSPL stopping at 16%, follow these instructions to unbrick your phone:
1. Download mtty.exe
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
3. Connect your Kaiser to PC using USB cable.
4. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
5. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
6. Type the command "boot", you should see something like this:
Code:
Cmd> boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
No card inserted
OSSIReadBack ++
Read SI data from flash success
tail signature match
Checksum match
UserStorageSIPreload ++
After that device should boot WM6 again, you can now re-enable USB connections in activesync and flash HardSPL

Good Luck

Ahhh!
I didn't find it in the Kaiser forum, but in the Hermes wiki!
Seems that I just had to connect via mtty (to USB, not a COM port! ) then just issue a: set 14 0
Then did a soft reset and all was well!
Back in business!
Now, maybe I'll start playing with some ROMS!
Thanks again!

should've read further. You'd of seen my post on Different SPL's & their different command capabilities.
For 1.93 SPL you can issue cmd>task 8
You need to install hardSPL once you get it going, because you DON'T have it know.

HardSPL with AT command interpreter support

None of the HTC SPLs for Kaiser (and other MSM7x00 models sich as Wings, Niki, Polaris etc.) support the AT command interpreter mode. I have patched the olipro HardSPL and added support for AT command mode.
To install it you must run the SSPL (e.g. this one here).
If it installed correctly you will see "SPL-1.1.JockyW" in the top left corner of the tri-color bootloader screen.
Use it as follows:
- enter bootloader (press and hold camera and then press power on)
- type "rtask 4"
- type "rtask 7"
- type "ATE" (turn on screen echo)
- type "ATV1" (verbosity 1)
- type "ATI" (information and IMEI)
- type "retuoR" (return to SPL interactive command mode)
- type "ResetDevice"
There are many interesting GSM AT command interface commands described in the Hermes Wiki. If you installed my SuperCID and Security Unlocker you can set/reset simlocks, and much more
Have fun!

Thanks again jocky! Very nice patch indeed

thanks a lot. I'm gonna try it now.

hm, the only thing that doesn't want to work is the command to reset the timer.
Code:
[email protected]?0
@TALK: 000000D6

You can only reset talk time if your device is security unlocked.
I get this:

@jockyw:
Altough I've already done with all instructions (SSPL, 1.1 jockyw), I have the same error in mtty when try to use [email protected]= command...
Do you have any idea why? I have a nonbranded HTC device.

As said before, your device isn't security unlocked yet ...
Check this

I tried At command with no luck.
this is what I get after type in rtask b:

never get the 0, all I get is couple of new hardware found message from Window, MTTy just hangs and do nothing, what did I do wrong I have 1.1 JockyW SPL and have security unlocked message on bootloader screen, appreciate any help or hints. thanks in advance.

HTC bricked? No HardSPL, no flash-hardSPL

Dear all,
got a problem with flashing my TyTN II which might? be related to the
"brand new" version?
here is what happened so far:
we bought several German TyTN II pro and
some of them need to be convert to english rom
Version:
Radio: 1.27.12.32
HardSPL did not install (White Screen) so I went for JumpSPL. Software installed with no problem, "USB" appeared on screen, unplugged and replugged the cable
The TyTN Display is three-colored,
USB connected direct to PC,
AvtiveSync stopped
starting flash-hardSPL\KaiserCustomRUU.exe
starts up,
some "caution" messages read and understood,
TyTN connected,
battery charged,
Software says:
"Verifying the information on your PDA Phone... please wait..."
"Current information about your PDA Phone:

Select from below:

KLICK on Update:

Having read most of the threads here i continued using mtty with
Cmd> boot
Command error!!!
Cmd> task 8
The pda boots again to my beloved three-colored-screen
Any escape from this? Or am I damned stupid ....
Cheers,

The

Try once more the boot command in MTTY and, if it again enters bootloader, once more. Usually it must be done two times.

no way, as "boot" only says "Command error" a million times ...

Exactly the same thing happened to me Everyone here shouts about flashing HardSPL first (and then it's "impossible to brick your phone"). Unfortunately, people rarely mention that the phone can be bricked whilst trying to flash HardSPL!
With mine, I did initially receive an error when using the 'boot' command, however when I did the following, it worked:
- uncheck 'allow usb connections' in activesync
- get the phone into the tri-color screen and plug the usb cable in
- start mtty, select usb
- issue the 'boot' command (without ANY other commands being issued before it)
Does the tri-color screen say RUUNBH in the top corner? Apparently, some have recovered their phones by flashing a ROM from their original vendor (e.g. if you got yours from HTC, try the base HTC ROM). This never worked for me, I just got the 'stuck at 0%, then error 262' behaviour you describe above.

still stuck... what i did:
- use mtty to issue the boot command : Command error
- use different Shipped ROM Images : wrong version whilst updating

anyone got a german 1.56.407.3, radio 1.27.12.32 shipping version?

So I am running out of ideas. If I got everything right, the ONLY chance
to re-animate it is to get the one and only original rom setup version?

It's very unfortunate your SPL doesn't support the "boot" command
Find a rom with CID = HTC__102 and ModelID = KAIS13000
You can find these values with a hexeditor in the RUUsigned.nbh (extract it from an original rom update)
You can rename RUUsigned.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh and put it on SD card. Just enter the bootloader and flashing will start. But it also checks if CID and ModelID match with your device.

Thanks alot, but:
Error [262]: Update Error
and its a KaiserCustomRUU which I thought only works o.k. if
HardSPL was applied correctly ?

I´ve got a second, working, perfect TyTN with the matching rom image. any chance to read out the ROM and use that one to boot?
I followed the thread about ROM extraction, but it says I need HardSPL to unlock, otherwise it will not be able to update ?

Same problem!!!!

Same problem here with my brand new TyTN II... Please help! i got it just one day

I am looking for an answer too. It seems that from 1.82.00.00, there is another layer of protection against JumpSpl. My experience is you need the original Rom to flash back, which works for me. Although you do not have the rom you desire but at least you unbrick you phone.

Kaiser revive

hello everyone.. sorry to bother you but I need an urgent help. I was flashing a new rom to Kaiser, everything was fine, but on 16% of flashin it gave an connection error.. so I did the connection recovery and everythin is ok... but when I want to continue flashing nothing happens.. I´m stuck on the boot screen and cant get enywhere from here... I can´t restore backup ´cause i cant connect the device with activesync.... can you pls help me??

did you hardspl your device first?

yes i did the hardspl, I haven´t been flash rom for the first time, but for the first time it gave me this error and i got stuck on bootloader screen..

try reflashing with an original shipped rom,

If you are still stuck PM me with a MSN messenger address & I'll walk you thru the recovery process. Or find me at [email protected] on live/msn messenger.

or try to use this tool: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/mtty.exe
disable active sync, select usb from mtty.exe then digit cmd
when it prompt cmd> digit boot

If you give advice, make sure it's correct.

& then when you CAN'T connect, let me know, because that's just wrong.
What you do is disable USB connections in A/S connection settings. Then launch MTTY. Then select USB as the port. THEN YOU MUST SELECT RTS/CTS AS THE FLOW CONTROL TYPE.
Then hit the enter key twice. At the cmd> prompt you want to then use the "Boot" command. Let it reboot & take notice of what mttry reports. THe repeat the mtty "Boot" command again until MTTY reports that all is good instead of the sector errors you'll get the first time or two.

FrankenKaiser SPL Loader

May 24th, 2008
FrankenKaiser SPL Loader
This is a fast application image downloader which can download e.g. spl or android to the phone when the phone is in dload mode. This can for example be useful for developers to test a SPL from another device w/o the need to flash them
======================================================
DISCLAIMER: This method involves erasing SPL & OS and requires correct data entry by the user. I will not take any responsibility for any malfunctions and or damages caused by using this method and software.
======================================================
Prerequisites:
- a *security unlocked* HTC MSM7x00 device
- QC diag drivers installed (e.g. MotoQ)
This was tested with a Kaiser, Niki and Wings
Steps are:
1 power down
2 hold green send key and power on, the phone will enter radio bootloader (oemsbl)
3 connect with MTTY (COMn) and type "dload" to put phone in dload mode
4 close MTTY, reconnect USB, run my new downloader in a CMD box, e.g. "./FrankenKaiser-SPL-Loader.exe /dev/com4 SPL1.56-KAIS-unbricker.nb (substitute com4 by the com port of your qc diag driver)
5 hold send key and press soft reset with stylus (on phones like Nike this is not possible, in that case you must add "setboot 1" to step 3 before typing "dload" and in step 7 add "setboot 0" before typing "dload")
6 connect with MTTY (COMn) and type "mw 901708 1 e1a00000"
7 type "cego" (press and hold camera to enter tricolor bootloader mode)
Have fun!

may i be one of the first to say Thank you.
jumpspl, supercid and security unlocker, frankenkaiser .. man you are owesome.
A truly gifted individual and thank you for all your hardwork.

Thanks, Jockyw2000, your work really rocks, but...
OEMSPL did not work for me (HTC Wings)
Ive hold down the green button and tapped the PowerButton=>Boots normal.
Offtopic;
My Question is; Is it possible to "Switch" the GPIO 0x5c (Kaiser SimDoor) from 0 to 1 manually?
Because i want to "port" a KaiserRom over to my Wings, but ive getting trouble with this annoying "Sim Door Open, please close it.Phone shuts down in 10 seconds..." warning.

I'm asking with all due respect. I haven't done it. To be honest I haven't flashed anything with MTTY since I had my Hermes last year but I was under the impression that we could.
If we can't then you have answered my question as the difference is exactly that!
In the quest for knowledge we all sometimes ask apparently dumb questions...

So with this thing I can make my deviece look as a MSM7500. To boot up HaReT all the time???

Since it doesnt seem as though you unlocked the phone, just download an oem rom/radio combo for the phone from the operator it belongs on ( IE , if it is an ATT TILT, download from HTC the latest rom off their website JUST for the att tilt )
This should fix you up
