HELP!!! Upgrading Zinc from WM5 to WM6 - General Questions and Answers

I just tried upgrading my ROM from WM5 to WM6... and it turned into a disaster!!!
Now all that the screen shows is as below:
MARSII EBOOT Ver......
H/W version V1.4
******* USB Loader ******
DiskOnChip G4 128MB
start downloading image...
AC Adaptor/USB Cable Plugin. (after plugging in USB cable)
Reading a few previous posts on the very same topic... i have a few clarifications on the same:
(1) If none of my friends/colleagues have a PPC (Pocket PC), what is supposed to be done?
(2) I am running Windows Vista, therefore am using Windows Mobile Device Center rather than ActiveSync 4.5. Will that make a difference?
Kindly note that I am a newbie to Windows Mobile... so therefore requesting you to kindly reply in elaborate terms.
PLEASE HELP

Tilt Bricked?

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.
-Mc
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......

Thanks for your help anywhy!

Bricked
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

Hi guys,

I want to flash my XDA Neo with a new ROM (WM6)

So ,finally I found the solution with this issue and problem with my Prophet's restarting after it's registering to the cellular network (I wrote about it in another treeds as well).
After I tried to reflash my Prophet with different WM6 ROMs, different Radio ROMs, reassembled and cleaned it, reflashed to original WM5 ROM and nothing helped, I just came to an idee to replace the battery, unless Prophet indicated that still it's a lot of power (min 50%)...I ordered the battery and when I received it and replaced, everything is running as it should be!!!!

Hi,
The answers you seek are in the WIKI.
Hold the backlight + power button whilst resetting the device. This will put you back into bootloader mode, you can then reflash the Rom.
I would also advise that you SuperCid your device before flashing any Roms, if you haven't done so already.
Again this is documented in the Wiki.

The problem is Vista!
Search the forum and you will find a post with a fix (old drivers) for Vista, or just use a Windows XP or previoous MS OS to flash your device.
I would suggest XP if you plan to keep flashing in the near future
do i need to super cid my htc universal in order to upgrade to ranju v77. my universal is branded dopod 900 and can use with any simcard. thanks
lucky for me, i also got a pc with xp sp2 but my pda works with ranju v77 thnx man.

HELP. Cannot install HardSPL or ROM. Vista doesn't see device.

Hi.
In short: After normal using my Diamond just reset himself and screen was snowing, some pixels etc.
When I'm going to bootloader screen is ok, without snowing or something and says:
DIAM100 64M
SOL-2.07.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32
Serial
When I plugged usb cable SERIAL changing to USB - so far so good...
I'm using VISTA, I hear sound when I plugging Diamond, ROM Update Utility see device because starting to install Hard SPL but progress is stuck on 0%...
Windows Mobile Device Center cannot see device.
Windows doesn't see device as a removeble disk so I CAN'T COPY NOTHING to my device...
What to do?
I was trying many different HardSPL but nothing... always 0%
Please help....

Thanks but so far no success
Thanks but so far no success as its impossible despite killing all activesync processes to get MTTY active on USB. The XDA itself shows the change from serial to usb but the MTTY does not find it apparently as USB option does not become available.

Thanks anyways

Have you dissabled usb connections in WMDC (windows mobile device center) what version mtty you using ? i had best results with mtty_0513_Test.exe, you can also use putty.
Thanks Mekrib
I had disabled the USB connection in WMDC and On activesync on the XP PC and i used MTTY v.1.42 as this was the only one i found. Perhaps your version might help.
As much as i understand there seems to be a problem for the windows envoirnament to recognize the device as a USB device in the state it is in, amazingly does the XDA it self seem showing appropriate USB message when connected and Serial when the USB cable is unplugged. I was thinking perhaps to find a pc where activesync was never installed and then install the MotoQ driver and then try to run this MTTY.
Bye the way a link to MTTY of your version a believe is a test version would be highly appreciated.
Thanks again all of you guys I feel i am not suffering alone.
My best salutations to you all
Tariq
mtty works with vista xp win7 , plug your phone into pc before starting mtty.
out of interest what task are you going to run with mtty?
Thanks again
Unfortunately still no success even with this version of MTTY and I even tried out on other PC´s where activesync was not installed. Apparently the problem is that the phone device is not recognized in any system as a new device or even as a device. Only solution I can think of is some way to have the device boot from SD card if there is some way of doing this. I tried the NAND thing but again there one either has to flash something or use MTTY in my case none of these options seem to work as I am not able to communicate with the device using a computer through even MTTY
If someone has any other idea´s I am willing to give it a go
Thanks again every1

Hi there chris
I was hoping to do following:
SET 16 0
Task 8 (format)
Task 0 (boot)
Then hopefully device would boot as it does have the basic IO( Bios) eqvivalent doesn´t it?
Regards
Tariq
You can re flash just run ruupdate again, if it failed at 85% your rom wouldn't boot.Check in device manager if your phone is recognized properly otherwise you wont be able to flash.
Thanks Meknb
Thats the whole idea stopping flashing due to power failure at 85% has somehow made the device locked to going on to a boot till the tricolor screen with the info: Pola200 MPG , SPL-2.20.0linex CPLD-2
and serial/usb but no computer is able to detect the device.
I guess it has had it then...:-(

Tariq
Can't you copy your rom to your sdcard rename it polaimg and flash it that way?
Great Idea but with the original rom O2 (UK) and 2 pcharvelo roms it did not work and when the XDA boots I can barely see but it does in fact write no image found and the switches to the tricolor serial/usb picture
Maybe I have to get more info on exactly how the image file should be in terms of name and location and which rom file to use for the microSD.
Thanks I shall look for possible image files.
Thanks again
Tariq
POLAIMG all in caps at the root of your card should work.
Sorry Meknb but tried even that with caps and everything it still say no image found.
Thanks again
Tariq
Success
Yes Finally its alive again !!
Here is what I had to do:
Take the original O2/UK rom rename it to POLAIMG.nbh and place it on root of microSD card
Then and here is he important difference in what i was doing previously just press power button and it then detects the image and completes the reflashing of the rom.
Alhamdolillah (Thank god) I thought I had lost it
Thanks guys all of you and I hope anyone else who gets in my situation will benefit from this
Respects
Tariq
