I had the unofficial wm6 upgrade on my device for a while and i wanted to unlock it so i used the unlocker program provided here and i could not get past the second step it kept giving me this really long erorr every time. I downloaded the real ATT wm6 upgrade and it erorrs out after the phone resets to the color screen boot loader, i tried the SD card method and the bootloader won't boot from the card. The card is formatted in fat 32 and i downloaded the official sd card setup and also tried the cheeimg.nbh method. The phone is stuck with no ability to be flashed, i tried all the versions of wm6 on here and i get stuck at the bootloader every time nothing happens. PLEASE PLEASE can somebody help me? All I want to do is put the factory wm6 on that just came out.
I flashed using SD method but It still read v2.23 so i used the palm Updater, same thing with me it would get to boot loader then stop and I noticed that the Palm update program would crash, I tried several times but same thing happened. I finailly went to another PC installed AS 4.5 got that working then tried the Palm updater again (edited the payloads file) and i guess 3rd time was a charm up date took that time.
Is your device currently functioning at all or??
I would try another PC if you can run the palm updater and remember to edit the payloads.xml file.
If your going to use the Palm Updater take out the SD card and leave it out just to be safe.
vista
yeah my device works but the radio isn't right due to the unlock tool failing and whatever other error the ungrade has cuase by not finishing 5 or 6 times.... I'm using vista, but shouldn't the sd card method work? when i enter bootloading via ptt button and reset it flashes for a nano sec a white loading screen then goes to color screen and sits there, i mean it flash's by super fast you have to be watching it without blinking to see it. you think the pc update will work if i go to a win xp computer?
Dam honestly I dont think the swapping PC will help you I think the Unlock fugged up your device somehow by not finishing the unlock process.
But yes the SD method should work. Im no expert in this but i havent bricked my device yet. You may have to call att, but dont tell them you tried to unlock it nor that you have a hacked WM6. just tell them you tried to flash with the latest up date and my device get stuck...in other words LIE so they send you a new device. If you are able to get a new device from ATT I
would screw up your current one so it doesnt load WM at all so they cant check the Version on it. in any event GL.
Now your sure your SD is fat32 formatted?
format
yes i'm sure it's fat 32, i can prolly get a replacment but it will be a referbished one. Yay then it will have some other problem.... oh well thanks anyway, i shouldn't have tried to do the unlock. don't know why it didn't work everybody else says it was easy.
for sale
Know anybody that might want it, that might fix it? it works just need a radio update i guess. $120.
not off hand no, you can try ebay.
warranty
ok i got a replacement phone coming via warranty, How would i go about messing it up so it won't boot windows????

Hey GUys,
I'm not new to flashing and roms and all that jazz. Had the random stuck in bootloader that wouldn't resolve itself today (using 3.29) Loaded kaisdiagsd.nbh and flashed stock att rom. (probably should have gone right for the spl patch but I was frustrated and needed my phone) Boot loader is now v3.65
Flashed rine, reboot, same issue. Phone will now only load the stock 6.1 att rom from the micro sd. kaisdiagsd.nbh is stuck on loading as for all other roms. I can occassionally get the os to load using mtty. From there tried jumpspl and it would not connect via usb at all.
When in the stock 6.1 os I get the old unrecognized usb device in both xp and vista.
Is there anything else I can do to reflash spl? All i can think of is trying the task 2a, wiping everything and trying to flash from diag but I don't even want to try that route without something solid in place.
The phone is 2 years old, upgrading when the touch pro 2 hits att in aug sept or whenever, but I need my phone.
I have gone through many many many posts. I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
Is there anything else I can do to flash a n
Have you tried to flash the SPL from the SD card? Worth a shot if not.
thanks for getting back, i have tried..multiple. It will just sit on loading as for everything except that damn att rom. i've been going at this for hours and hours. just to make sure, the spl flash will still be named KAISIMG.nbh correct? or has my frustration gotten to me
Yes but make sure you dont put the .nbh. Just kaisimg or it will be kaisimg.nbh.nbh and wont work
haha, yeap. i'm an i.t guy so i have file extensions showing by default so thats golden
I have the stock att rom up and running so the phone is functional, but that said, its the ****y att rom and I'd really like to change that asap., I'm just tired and fed up at this point really
Also for flashing SPL from SD card you need kaisdiag.nbh. Place it on the SD too. I should have told you that first. Its in my 4shared if you dont have it.
just tried it. it is stuck on the loading screen....

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.
Hollybeau
Start Here.
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
Thanks to WMExperts who announced the 'official' Verizon rom.
Anyone sitting with a bricked Ozone patiently waiting for an official, signed, rom....here's how your long-bricked Ozone comes back to life:
- Get a hold of the 'Official' WinMO 6.5 Shipped Ozone ROM.
- Remove the SD card and SIM card if one is inserted in the phone.
- Unplug & remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds; Ookba found this step to be essential to reset the device. Put the battery back in.
- While holding volume down button, press the power button. NOTE: The D-PAD is not Volume Control. Utilization of the D-Pad in this operation will result is user failure.
- The phone will enter "bootloader" mode and you will see a tricolor bootscreen.
- While in this mode, plug in your USB cable and wait until you hear the "ba-bing" USB sounds as the device connects.
- Extract the ROM package you just downloaded and run RomUpdateUtility.exe. Follow the steps, check the appropriate boxes, and start the flash.
Assuming all goes well, your phone will flash to the factory ROM and you can then troubleshoot what went wrong the first time that bricked your phone.
Thanks Ookba for the instructions!
0 ram free?
So i flashed my phone to the signed 6.5 rom, and now the phone boots but i have 0mb free on my phone. I have tried to delete some files, to no avail, as well as doing a hard reset. I tried to flash it again and no change. I am not sure what went wrong, any ideas?

I'm noticing the same thing now. Hmmm. I'll have more of a look tonight. I'd really like to jailbreak it and put anonther ROM on it regardless.
I'll let you know my progress.
Glad I haven't flashed it yet, then...thanks for the heads up. Think I'll stay with the new 3VO ROM until further notice...
I noticed that problem with the 3V0 ROM on one phone but not on another... Seems there is something different in the versions that are out there. My guess is that if you did the 3V0 and didn't see a memory problem you wont with this one. Maybe that is why Verizon is holding back...
I know the problem must lie with the nbh file being 125 MB in size... If you looked at the 3vo roms they all are around 80-90 mb per NBH file, which leaves you with at least 30 megs of free storage. Perhaps they just need to shrink the rom or remove the 0 bytes or something.
I am stuck in the same boat 0Megs free so I can't do anything with the phone. If I try to reload custom 6.5 from bootloader it sticks at 0%. What can we do to get our phones back?
Verizon officially released the 6.5 rom today. From everything I can tell it is the same rom as the unofficially released rom last week.
I'm going to see if it has the same memory leak as the other one.
No change, I installed the new rom and still no memory.
Count me in also, have the memory problem and cant flash withanything but the original 6.5 signed rom...
Has anyone contacted either VZW or HTC regarding this issue? My Ozone is on PagePlus right now, but i am going to see if I can go into VZW and get it replaced if this is not fixed in a few days lol.
I wish I could reproduce this problem on my Ozone so I can help you guys troubleshoot it.
It might have to do with the Bootloader and new SPL version. I will try to cook the OS portion into an NBH and see if the problem persists. You will need to HardSPL to flash it though. Anyone willing to try it and see if it fixes the memory issue?
I'd be willing to try, how do I know if I have a hardSPL though. I'm not a newbie to flashing but I have always followed directions and never had a problem.
Edit: When I start the phone using the power and volume button I have
CEDA100
SPL-0.44.0000
MicroP-Cedar#W (LED) v58B
After doing some research I don't see how to get a hardSPL if I am not able to get it run anything unless its already installed

Yeah I can't HardSPL due to there not being any free memory on the phone. Is there a way to cook the stock rom and remove some of the un necessary files and still be able to flash it without hardspl? That would be our savior as we would not need that much room to run hardspl after we get the stock rom running.
Same exact response here, Burn...

Hi, I've made a gold are for a second desire s I got for free as it wont boot and have been trying to revive.
The card works as it should and bypasses the cid although I think the desire is beyond help as i cant flash the bootloader no matter what process i try, my question is about keeping the card for future use in other devices.
Once made and used can it be re used over and over in different devices with different files for those specific phones or do you have to remake the card each time its used for a different phone?
My other question is does formatting it mean you have to re make the gold card or does the hex edit remain?
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

I have tried every mothod going to try and flash that phone, it refuses to touch the bootloader.
Ruus won't even try cos it won't boot, official branded roms with the right cid the same android version give a same version error before it even tries to flash.
Different version roms that are right cid freeze on flashing bootloader be it in the form of a PG88IMG from SD or in fastboot.
And unbranded roms used with a gold card freeze on flashing bootloader.
The phone won't restart to bootloader from bootloader and any programs that try to restart the boot loader fail to managed it at the bootloader freezes with battery pull being the only way to shut phone down and try again.
When I got this phone from a friend it never booted past t-mobile screen and he says it just stopped working one day, its not keen messed with and as a result I think usb debugging was not enabled ether although fastboot does work for some commands strangely.
Basicly anything that trys to work with the bootloader gets told where to go by the phone lol
If it was s-off I could have used the work around from booting the o.s from the SD card but its not.
I think the emmc has corrupted from agressive multiple app updates from the marketplace and think its beyond help, I've spent hours trying everything lol. Now I just want to know if the gold card I made can be reused in other phones and what a format would do to the card.
