Kaiser Task 2a - Bricked? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

Hopefully I will get attacked for being an idiot, but if anyone can help it would also be nice.
However fun playing with mtty.exe and task 2a was I believe I have bricked by TyTN II. I have read many things and tried everything I can find, so if someone has any ideas to get a bootloader back please let me know!
Hard Reset of course will not work.
Soft Reset of course will not work.
Installing ROM from SD card so far won't work because can not go into bootloader mode.
If someone has any ideas besides melt it down please let me know.
ID10T Comments also welcome
Thanks

Saying that "it doesn't work" will usually not help finding the exact problem.
What did you do, what does the phone displays now, does it display anything? if yes, what.
When you plug your phone on the PC does the PC seems something connected over USB, or is it just dead ?
Did you install HardSPL originally etc.
provide details !

Press simultaneily power+camera+stylus, if bootloader not appear you have bricked your Kaiser.

(sorry for my poor english)

More Details
Background:
I purchased an ATT unlocked phone from the US so I could use it in Japan where I live using the softbank AP and service. I already use an unlocked Hermes, so I thought it would be easy to install on the Kaiser with Chaimd's install files. I was able to get my boss's HTC to work, but not the ATT, so in order to provide Chaimd with the original CID I followed the instructions on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568
Once I did all that it seemed to work fine with the new ROM; however when I ran "info 2" for Chaimd he did not recognize the CID, so I may not have completely uninstalled the SSPL_Kais. I just got curious playing with Mtty.exe and ran "task 2a" (Before I read don't do it on Kaiser) and had the following dump in the terminal window:
Cmd>task 2a
Format ALL start
backup SPL OK
backup MISC configuration OK
SPL start start block=288, total block of CE=1760
ERASE block 1275 FAIL !!!
Write 0xFF start page=0x4800, total page=0x1B800
SPL version and MFG TAG are same, skip it.
restore SPL OK
restore MISC configuratoin OK
restore MFG configuratoin OK
Format ALL end
Cmd>task 2
Observations:
- The Phone will not turn on or off with power button (no lights change)
- When reset only is pushed or held nothing happens (no lights)
- When Power is held then the soft reset is pressed the green light on the left turns on and remains solid green. (phone will not respond to power button and green light only goes off after reset is pushed again)
- Camera + Reset nothing happens (no change no lights)
- Soft Keys for Hard reset are pushed with reset button (nothing happens. No lights).
- Bootloader's three color screen does not ever appear.
- The Hard Erase screen options for factory reset never apear.
- When battery taken out for a period of time then above tried again, nothing changes.
- Once green light is on it will not turn off until the reset button is pressed
- when connected to the PC the PC does see it, but doesn't know what drivers to use.
Tested
- Installing ROM from an SD Card
- Reinstalling ROM from PC, but without Activ Sync I do not know how to install a new ROM as per the instructions in the various installers.
- I have assumed that without the bootloader working that nothing would work, but I have tried
I hope this enough details for someone to help me find the next steps.
Thanks

Thanks for the other postings. I do believe mine is the same as the First post.
At least the green light still lights up. Just seeing that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside

I think i posted in another thread that your phone is now in "Qualcomm Diagnostics Monitor" mode. Your SPL is no longer available and the phone falls back to this diag mode. There are drivers for this mode (i posted them somewhere) and certain diag actions can be performed with tools such as "PQST". However, to date there is no known way to flash it. It pretty much looks like u have a brick. The only way to recover is via JTAG. I'd say you better send it to HTC service.

Thanks
Thanks for your wonderfully unencouraging words jocky. At least I can stop reading and accept the "things I can not change..." Perhaps when I go to the states I can convince ATT to give me a new one - Who knows.

There are a few guys here who have jtag equipment and the necessary knowhow. I will have my own segger jtag in a couple of weeks. Drop me a PM maybe I can bring it back to life then.

Made registry changes, can't boot up now

I've searched everywhere, and I can't figure out what to do. I bought my 8125 with the faria crossbow rom already loaded. I made some registry changes, using the registry wizard. All I changed was to turn off the message sent notification. After a reboot, I see the IPL and SPL (both 2.26)...and then instead of going to the crossbow logo, it just goes blank. After a few seconds, the green light starts flashing...and when I hit anything, all the buttons light up. It almost seems like it's working, but it's not displaying. I've pulled the battery a few times hoping for a miracle, but no such luck. I can get to the bootloader screen. If I understood the instructions correctly, I should be able to flash it from here with the love rom? I downloaded it, and the update utility is not in english. I tried to get through it, and I think I did it right...but I'm pretty sure it was giving me an error saying it couldn't connect. When I plug in the usb cable from the bootloader screen, it does say usb on the bottom. I'm pretty much stuck from here. Does anyone have any suggestions on my next step?
Thanks in advance...
You can just do a hard reset. Turn off the phone, then hold down the comm and Voice buttons then turn on the device. It will ask you to reformat memory. Press the green Call Send button to confirm. This will put you back to a fresh install of that rom (and you will lose anyting you loaded on the phone in regular memory).
If that doesn't work, then you can look at flashing. Read the sticky at the top of this forum on how to flash (by Vippie) and you will be good to go with doing that... Good luck!
The hard reset did it. I tried that earlier, but I guess I wasn't holding one of the buttons down all the way...or something stupid like that. Thanks for the help!

Failed WM6 Update - Universal USB no longer recognised

I flashed my XDA Exec with Leo's V7 Videocall ROM which all appeared to go fine until I performed the hard reset to reinstall.
It rebooted to the white screen asking you to press 0 to reinstall or X to exit, so I pressed 0. The screen briefly displayed a 'clearing' message and then went blank. There is no further response from the unit from any input except when I try to hard reset the device and reinstall again.
Just soft resetting the device only continues to give a blank screen and trying to power on the device in a normal manner also only gives a blank screen.
Windows XP fails to recognise the device when it is plugged in via USB either at the hard reset screen or soft reset or complete power off (remove battery, etc) then power on.
I updated to ActiveSync45 prior to the first hard reset.
Does anybody have suggestions or ideas on how to un-brick this Universal?
seems broken DOC chip. how many years you UNIVERSAL
It's about 18 months old now.
What is the DOC chip and why would it only fail at an upgrade?
Try a re-flash
Hi have you tried re-flashing the device?
Enter BootLoader mode, hold Power & BackLight button & press Reset, this will show Serial or USB on the screen. Start the flash off again or try another Rom (maybe the one you have is corrupt)
Cheers,
Beat
Hi Beast,
Yeah, I stumbled across these instructions today (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen) and will give that a go tonight when I get home.
Thanks for the suggestion - I'll report back once I've tried it.
jamver - did you charge before flashing your new BIOS? it can go blank just because the battery could be dying and despite seeing some charge in the indicator, in fact the batt would be exhausted.
Hi jamver, I also encountered the same issue as you a few months back. Symptoms sound similar. I tried the points described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289325
Also, upgraded my bootloader and the device came back to life. One thing I learned also is that not all USB cables are made the same. If you find one USB cable doesn't work, you may want to try another. (my case, using a poor quality cable resulted in the "serial" word on the screen not changing to "USB")
Good luck and all the best!
Fixed
Thanks for the help guys. Manually putting it into bootloader mode and re-flashing it worked.
WM6 is significantly faster than any image of WM5 I've used!
hello,
i've ever meet this problem.. but after reflashing in bootloader mode all restart pefect !

bootloader after batt install?

this is my first post
sorta new to htc, but i've worked some with flashing and working with motorolas, so i'm not totally new to all this. i've got an issue i haven't been able to find a thread about though. i've got a tilt/kaiser that got interupted during a file transfer and was going only to the "tri color" screen/ bootloader (i assume this is the bootloader screer). while in this screen active sync doesn't recognize the phone, but i've read that isn't really abnormal. i tried various hard spl jump spl "shots in the dark" but i haven't been able to figure out if there are actual programs that i need to use to install these roms, or if its supposed to just "work". mtty see's the thing sometimes, and doesn't other times. any how, after hours of messing around, i found that if i unplug the usb and bull the batter, then reinsert the battery and immediatly press the power button it boots. i thought i inadvertantly fixed it, but i tried to do a hard reset (soft keys, and stylus deal) and it went directly back to the multi colored screen. i pulled the batt and put it back in and didn't push anything and it went right to the same screen. i then pulled the back and did the immediate power button and it booted again.
so, all that to say, i know its not actually fixed, but active sync can see it now, so i assume my actual question needs to be: how do i actually "flash"/"reflash" the at&t rom and is that actually what i need to do?
the info on the tri color (and white, quad color??) screen is:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
and at the bottom it will read serial if the cable is unplugged and usb when it is
thanks in advance for any help
first i would try a hard reboot tto do this yuo have to hold down the two soft keys and hit the reset button with the stylist what you are doing is a soft reset try this and let me know what happen
after that you have to flash hard spl inorder to flash a new rom
You need to install hard spl before attempting to flash a new/cooked rom, see the kaiser wiki, flashing without hard spl will brick your phone. If you have already tried flashing then try mtty task 2a to restore to factory default. Check the Kaiser Wiki, all the info you need is there.
let me know if you need help with hard spl
sorry, i've been out of town and haven't had any time to mess with this problem. i'll do some more reading about hard spl and flashing before i go much farther. i did try the hard reset with the softkeys and stylus but it just went back to the multi colored screen i remember. i also remember that after sucessully getting it to actually boot three consecutive times by holding the power button briefly after inserting the battery, i tried it a fourth time and could never get it to start all the way back up. we'll see how it goes and i'll try to post something difinitive either way. thanks for your help so far.

T-Mobile Rom WM6.1 to WM6 Downgrade

PLEASE HELP!!! I downloaded the WM6.1 CarbonElisha for my Wing and I do not like it, I want my old Rom from T-Mobile please show me step by step to do this. I would very appreciate it!!! Thanks!
Your downgrade

You sound panicked which was how I was five minutes ago. I bricked my wing. Fortunately I have had to learn to search.
Thank you so much, im not sure how to do this though, and im sorry about your wing.
unless you have a screwdriver in hand...
I don't think you will break it.
I've unbricked my wing.
Ok im going to try to install it, i will tell you if it works
ok i bricked it the screen is white
don't panic

first of all,don't panic.
enter a bootloader screen by pressing down camera button while resetting the phone.
the screen will become tri-colored , and the connecting to pc will be lost.
the execute the official rom from t-mobile, and do what it says.
now cross fingers and pray.
good luck.
unbricking signs
1. You will get to the tri color screen (hold down camera button while giving the reset button a pusn.
2. Load an official RUU search this site and you will find one(beats the screwdriver and soldering iron)
3. Your screen may turn white (now is the time for patience)
4. Your computer may say that your phone is all done after 1-10 minutes. this would be a good time to push the little reset button.
5. When all fails read the directions and try again.
A smart man learns from his mistakes, a smarter man learns from the mistakes of others.
thanks it went through but said error, so its not bricked, it just went back to wm6.1
Try here
It's the official tmobile wing ruu download.
Type in your imei number (behind the battery) download the file, run from your laptop, desktop. This should put you back to factory original.
ok where do I type this in?
Apparently I didn't attach anything

But nothink!!!! please help what i need to do?
Before you flashed, you did make sure that you installed Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (mentioned in that same post)
Did any of the following happen?
*DO NOT start another process while the flashing process is taking place*
*DO NOT click off of the status bar... Let it stay in the foreground*
*DO NOT let the Screensaver activate*
(any of these can lead to a bad flash and possibly brick your phone)

If so, then you have possibly bricked your phone, my friend
Also, did you wait for it to sync and can you enter bootloader? Hold the volume down key and press the power key/reset button and release the volume down key when you see the multi-color screen.
Additionally, you should be able to remove all cards and your battery and be able to get into bootloader mode by holding the volume down key and connecting to your computer.

I tried now to do it i insrt usb to pc and pocket pc then hold volume down key. But nothing. Mayby you have skype i wna to comunicate with you faster. And maybe you can help to me wat can i do now. Thx for answering
How long did you hold the volume down key? I have to wait at least 2 - 3 seconds from when I connect the cable to my device as I have the USB cable already connected to my PC. In other words, hold the volume key down while you are doing all of this, till you see the multicolor screen.
i can hold it 3 or even 6 minits. but you say something about the colours. when i install the spl with synchronization my phone just like died. i dont know wats hapen. and now i dont see any colours on my phone screen. now the screen is black.when i put battery in my phone about after 3 hours my phone back a litle worm. i dont know what to do.
That sounds like you bricked it. Sorry to hear but if you are positive that you did everything as the post I linked you to, mentioned, then it should work. I'm not sure where the process stopped working for you but perhaps you can try retracing the steps? Although, it does sound like you missed a step and now you're phone is bricked. I'm also not sure if you understand what I am saying or asking you to do but I guess if it isn't working, it just isn't working?
Synchronized Well I just shook my phone and the program's EXE file in the SPL. and then there shook far, far away and then threw away so that you do not click anything, not combine any other program. I do and do it. I've been waiting for. Then I look at my phone screen and blacked everything. Then dropped onto a computer error 260th And I do not know what I can do. It does not RESPOND at all. Even though I tried hard reset but still nothing happens. Maybe I should try to flash the phone to make a micro sd? Once uploaded there y card and then pressing a few buttons to be there? Extend the writing maybe?
I'm not 100% sure this will work unless you have HARD-SPL flashed to your device; which is where we stalled out the last time.
Once you have the stock ROM, rename it to RAPHIMG.nbh. Copy just that file to the root of your microSD (preferably a FAT32 formatted microSD but not required). Then, remove the SIM and hold the volume down key while you press the reset button and continue to hold the volume down key till you see the onscreen instructions. According to THIS post, this method should work for flashing a ROM. I am am not able to really say for sure that it does as I never really used or had to use the microSD flashing option.
This doesn't work to maybe i can somehow reinstall the original htc touch pro soft?
The only OTHER way would be through USB from bootloader but if you find it difficult to get that far, I don't know how else to help you my friend.
Maybe you can write a detail lession how can i do this? how can i louch that bootloader . Please help i realy need your help
Try it this way exactly:
Remove your battery, SIM and microSD. Now plug your USB cable to your device (not the computer). Hold the volume key down and plug the other end of the USB cable to your computer and wait till the multicolor screen comes up. If you do not see the multicolor screen, this may be an indication that the USB cord may be messed up (try another in this case), it may be the USB port (try another in this case) OR worse case senario, your phone is just plain bricked my friend...
Additionally, you may need to try another computer.
Once you get into bootloader we will need to go ahead and get hard-spl onto your device.
First, let me know when you get to the bootloader screen...
This doesn't work to ;(((((((((
I don't know what to say, it is sounding more and more like you've bricked your phone. Have you tried another cable / another USB port / another computer?
So, which raphael do you have? CDMA or GSM? And which hard spl did you flash: CDMA or GSM? And did you flash the raphael hard spl, or did you do something like flash the diamond hard spl (or the unlocker)?
If soft resetting the phone doesn't bring it back, then it's probably bricked. I have a feeling you flashed the wrong bootloader for the device.
so if i bricked my phone. No i can just throw it to the dump. or maybe i i send this phone to the repair shop. Maybe they gona repair it?
So, what bootloader did you flash, and what model do you have? If it's the wrong combo, I guess you could sell it on ebay for spare parts. You're not likely to get it fixed.
i have t-mobile mda htc touch pro. and i tried to flash it with Raphael_VZW_HSPL_035
My friend, if you flashed that to your phone, your phone is now bricked from what I can tell. T-Mobile is GSM, that HSPL looks to belong to Verizon which is CDMA. I could be wrong but if you failed to read, then obviously you really didn't need to do it. :enter sad face of choice here:
It's dead. Just put it up for sale on ebay; someone may give you 20-50 bucks for it.
