Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to update my MDA Compact to qtek 1.06 and I saw to executables in the package:
getdevice.exe and enterbl.exe
I runned getdevice.exe for getting the device data for in the change.bat. That went oke, but out of curiosity I had to run the enterbl.exe, which made me go to the boot loader immediately. And now I'm stuck at the boot loader!
Whatever I do it won't boot to WME anymore! Soft reset, pressing the camera+power+reset, everytime it goes to the "Serial V1.00"screen.
When I remove and put back the backcover of the device (where the battery and sim are) it will go off and after a press on the power button it will boot to WME. But when I manually reset the device or when it automaticaaly reset itself after installing the ExROM tools, it goes back to the boot loader (Serial - V1.00) screen!
I even dumped the ROM with mmty to the SD card and flashed the device with that ROM again, but after it says Checksum is OK and I press reset it just goes straight to bootloader again.
I'm really out of clues of what to do. Can someone please help?
EDIT: When removing and putting back the backcover I can reset the device and it will boot back to WME so I can use it. But still when I softreset (with button or through software) it goes to boot loader. :-(
So using the backcover as a reset button is possible and does work, but it isn't very handy/usefull off course.
TIA

Check the forum, the answer is there
Yes, you are still in bootloader mode and it's actually getting ready for you to flash.
Donno which part of it goes wrong, mine also have the same issue. What you need to do now is to restart your desktop pc / laptop (from the info I gathered from the forum). Then run that update thing again. This time, the same screen will appear saying it's trying to get the device data. Difference is, this time you no longer see the current version of ROM (as the Magician is in bootloader mode now). And you will see it show you the ROM that you going to upgrade to. Just follow the instruction, everything is straight forward. Hope this help.
cheers..
Thanks man!
You're the man cyberjaya!
It is working now, here is what I did (as told by cyberjaya):
- Rebooted my laptop
- Connected the MDA to the laptop
- Started the upgrade program of the qtek 1.06 ROM
- It didn't found my version, but it would let me update it to 1.06
- Flashing....(15 minutes is a LOOOONG time if you have to wait )
I did reset it a few times and it just boots normally!
Thank you ver much cyberjaya!

No problemo
Am using laptop to flash also. Likely it's the USB hub thing (which listed in the "hardware devices" list). Read it somewhere, it's not recommended to flash using USB hub. Enjoy your new ROM!! .
cheers
I had a thought:
Isn't this the way to do a ROM upgrade without editing the ROM files?
Because it can't detect a different ROM and it will do the upgrade...
Or am I missing something?
Alright so I had previously tried to flash roms and failed miserably. I've been scouring this forum since before I got my Kaiser (I got it last Fri.) and I thought I understood how to flash. Anyways...fast forward after failing miserably, I'd been getting along with just .cab files and installing things that way....fast forward some more to my problem.
I was trying the steps found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061
And I got to the tricolor screen, and USB appeared at the bottom. Well...I unplugged and replugged it and Vista made the USB noises and now I have this "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in my task bar. Nothing is happening, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to remove the hardware, but I'm having some serious troubles. I just want to flash Dutty's v4 rom onto my device and gof rom there.
Someone please help me, if anyone is available now and they wouldn't mind walking me through fixing this my AIM is xdemented3x
Please please please, someone help me.

did you hard-spl? what do you see on the tricolor screen?
did you try to simply connect the tilt to vista via miniusb and run the exe from duttys v4 rom?
do you have a win xp computer around?
I'm on campus in college, and only have my Vista laptop. If things get severe enough I can go home and use an XP Home pc.

^^^ Thats what I see on the screen.
Should I try to connect it and run the v4 exe while on the tri-color screen?
Thank YOU SO MUCH for trying to help me. (^_^)
From what I see, you have run the softSPL.jump on the device, so now you need to flash hardSPL from the pc - leave the device as is ...Once you have flashed HardSPL then you should be fine to flash roms

I can't do anything, I'm stuck on the tri-color screen. Should I press the reset button with my stylus? I've tried holding down the power button to no avail.
No, dont reset phone yet, have you tried to flash HardSPL as per the instructions? ---- Phone NEEDS to be in the bootloader mode you described to be able to flash HardSPL

unfortunately it seems that your device is not hard-spl'd. if it had been, it would have shown:
SPL-1.0.OliPof.
from the tricolor screen, try to install the Hard-SPL. Read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
it might happen that it deosnt run from the tricolor screen, case in which i wouldnt know what to do by heart, so only suggestion is to read first sticky posts and see if you may find some info in there.
Alright thank-you for your help guys.
I HAVE $5 for the person who leads me to getting my phone working with Dutty's v4 rom on there, just some incentive for you guys. I need this help asap!
you may try anyway to press the reset button. in case it does load windows, youre saved. in case it gets stuck, you press the 2 buttons on the righthand side of the kaiser (power and camera) and do a reset with both of them pressed and you end up again in Bootloader mode...
if you manage to get to windows, go for the Hard-spl in my post above.
You have'nt answered my question.. Have you tried to flash HardSPL from the PC whilst phone is in Tricolor mode? ( with USB showing at the bottom of the screen) If so what happens?

I'm running the Hardspl v1.exe on my pc right now and I'm stuck at the instruction where it says "Make sure ActiveSync is enable, hit ENTER to start..."
I hit enter, and nothing has happened.
Ah,, you are trying 2 different methods at once!! you started by using the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.zip from the thread you pointed to... you should download, and copy to folder on the pc the flash-hardSPL.zip from the SAME thread, then follow the instruction in THAT folder.. that does NOT require Activesync.. Or you could try the HardSPL.exe you are using, but with device booted to windows.. then you start with activesync.

Tried the reboot, and it came up with an AT&T flash screen before hte 3g animation.
The splash screen said "Not For sale, Test Only" Or something like that.
I still dont' have my SIM or MicroSD card in and Windows had booted up. I'm about to try the Hard SPL.exe now.

You, sir, are well on your way to winning...scratch that...earning $5, lol. It seems I have successfully flashed hardSPL to my device now. From here can I reinstall my SD and SIM cards and run Dutty's v4 .exe on my PC to install that?
Yep, if HardSPL flashed, you should be fine to flash the rom.. You no longer need to use the jumpSPL

Alrighty man, Thanks A CRAP TON!
One more thing though, when I downloaded the zip for dutty's v4 and tried to extract it with WinRar it gives me an "Unknown Method" error. Also, it never asks me for a password. How do I get through that?
EDIT** BTW Whats your paypal?
There is an answer to that in the Dutty V4 thread (post 2) - with alternate download - seems to work ok
OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Its at 7% as I type this..just went up to 10% w00t...finally flashing a rom!!! THANK-YOU SO MUCH!!!!! You have just earned yourself $5!!!! THANKS SO much bro. Whats your paypal? PM it to me....I need to send you the money, thanks again SO MUCH! You definitely earned this...
Dont worry, glad to help..
Want to make $20 thru paypal? help me get my Tilt out of the bootloader screen!
first off, im not new here; i lurked, learned, and flashed a few roms before i really posted much of anything.
my Tilts' screen was cracked a few days back, im headed to Greece in 2 days, so i went and bought a new Tilt to replace it until the replacement screen part gets here from Hong Kong.
The new Tilt came with WM6.1 installed, first thing i did is CID unlock it with HardSPL. i kept getting the white screen, but managed to bypass it, and flashed the RynCppr V4 on it with only the aforementioned white screen issue. I also have Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27 [FIX] ROM, but that would not install, i kept getting comm errors (ie the installation would never get past 0%).
I would like to run Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid V2_1_65.14.06[CubeV2] as i've played around with it on a buddy's Tilt, but it too wont install past 0%; i NEVER had these problems at ALL on my old Tilt (WM6.0), it seems to be linked to the SPL, and hardSPL does not seem to be allowing me to flash anything but the RynCppr V4 ROM; im getting extremely torqued about this, please, any assistance would be appreciated.
Take a look at this post (it's in the Stickies). If you have the white screen then you need to use JumpSPL. Use 1.93.

thanks, thats precisely how i bypassed the first white screen errors; the problem here is i can get into the bootloader, but it wont transfer and install the new ROM. i have to jump the SPL every time i want to attempt to flash a ROM. im down to about 4 hrs left of trying before i have to give up and get going lol.
You can't install a ROM using JumpSPL. Just HardSPL the device once you have run JumpSPL as per the instructions in the post and once it's HardSPLed you can install any ROM.
RynCppr worked because it's an AT&T base ROM.
use jumpspl to flash hardspl, then you can flash roms the normal way.
do not use jumpspl to flash a rom.

slade8525,
make sure you follow these steps exactly:
1a. download the 5 attached files
1b. pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step *is* important)
1c. connect your PC to phone with a USB cable
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe
4. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the phone display
5. unplug and replug the usb cable
6. deselect "Allow USB connections" in Activesync connection settings
7. now flash hardSPL (run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from flash-hardSPL.zip on your PC)
Are you trying 1.93 or 1.56? I never had luck with 1.56 so try 1.93 if you're not.
Very important you do the steps as listed above. Any shortcuts and no go. When I was doing this on a Tilt I replaced, I kept forgetting to disable the USB connection from Active Sync and also unplug/replug the USB cable.
if anyone can walk me through getting it the HELL out of the bootloader or direct me to the correct ROM that WILL flash correctly, i'd be willing to paypal $20 ASAP.

well, i tried that method several times now, unfortunately im now stuck in the bootloader. here is precisely what the red/green/blue/white bootloader interface says...
top left RUUNBH
top right
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
bottom (in the white band) USB (if connected to PC) Serial (if not connected to PC)
i REALLY need this damn thing operational. flashing my 'older' launch Tilt was a piece of cake. if i try to flash HardSPL (through the PC ) it gets me to the command prompt where you hit Enter, i hit it, and nothing happens. i try to flash ANY ROM and it wont get past 0% and encounters a connection error.
Flash the WM6 factory ATT Rom (do all this crap while in wm6.0)
Go to bootloader mode & confirm HardSPL....if not there, HardSPL
Once done....do the security unlock (may as well do it with wm6.0)
Go to bootloader mode and confirm Security Unlock...if confirmed ***flash back the original Radio***
You should now be HardSPL'd and Security unlocked
Flash a wm6.1 Rom w/Radio (this will skip a flash)
You now have to flash one of the JumpSPL's....since you have a new device, flash the latest
Flash the HardSPL of your choice
Go to bootloader mode to confirm
DONE
Note: Have all you info available and files ready
When flashing SPL's, make sure your SD card is removed
Just went thru this just to get Security Unlocked because security unlock c/n be done with a 3.28 or 3.26 SPL and early on...HardSPL had to be done in wm6.0 and I had issues upgrading the SPL to 3.29 in wm6.0...that's why I say flash to 6.1 (say that twice)
you have bricked your device, for someone who claims to not be new, you should know better and flash hardspl before anything else.
if you want you can try this or just contact gsleon3

actually ECLtech is walking me through it right now.
Ok. I've had problems up and down and tried and tried to do this and finally got it. So now I'm going to share it with all of you.
1. Download and Unzip the Files in the thread for the Ozone Verizon (HardSPL) posted by JockyW.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551458
2. Connect your phone via ActiveSync, let it sync, and then start the auto.bat.
3. First, the JumpSPL will copy over. Press enter on the computer. Then the SSPL will copy over. Press Enter on the computer. Then it will prompt to start the JumpSPL. Press Enter. JumpSPL should pop up on your phone. Press the silver center button to start JumpSPL. The screen goes black. Then the DOS window will ask you if you have USB Connectivity. DO NOT PRESS ENTER YET!!!!
4. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! Wait for your phone to disconnect from ActiveSync. Once it does, unplug your phone from the USB. Go into ActiveSync's Connection Settings, and uncheck the box that says ALLOW USB CONNECTIONS. Reconnect your phone to the USB, and it should install the HTC USB Sync driver. NOW PRESS ENTER IN THE DOS WINDOW.
5. The RomUpdateUtility will start up, run it. And it should do the HardSPL on your phone. Your phone will restart when it's finished. If you want to check, before you do any of the above steps, copy the EnterBootloader.exe over to your phone. When you're done with the RomUpdateUtility and the phone has restarted, run the Bootloader and see what the tricolor screen says. It should be 0.39 Hard. Pull the battery, put it back in, restart the phone, and you should be good to go for flashing custom roms!
WOOHOO!
Thanks guys! I'll be donating soon. I'm about to flash the custom 3VO ROM right now! I'll let you know how it goes!
::EDIT:: The 3VO ROM is beautiful and runs like a charm! You guys put so much work into this.
Let it be known that this method for flashing the HardSPL can also be used for flashing the 3VO ROM.
NOTE: I WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRICKING YOUR PHONE.... seeing as I was scared I almost bricked mine once, and was VERY LUCKY that I did not. Please, follow all directions carefully. Phones are expensive.
ActiveSyn Doesn't disconnect
I got to the step where JumpSPL runs and my screen goes black. However, my phone never disconnects from ActiveSync. I tried unplugging it and disabling USB in activesync, but then my phone comes up as Not Recognized. If I try to run JumpSPL at this point I get, "Error (260): Connection." Any ideas?
How long are you waiting for ActiveSync to disconnect? It takes awhile. I know for me, it took about 5-10 minutes for it to disconnect.
Try waiting a little bit longer, and let us know what happens.
I waited long enough for activesync to stop. I unplugged my phone, disabled USB in activesync, and reconnected my phone. Every time I get a error saying "USB Device Not Recognized." If I try to run the update utility I get a connection error.
In all fairness I bricked my phone initially and had to recover it using a "stock" ROM someone posted for the CEDAR. My phone might just be hosed.
wm 6.5
quick question, the only way i was able to unbrick my phone was by upgrading it to the wm6.5 rom by Verzion, will the HardSPL work with this one?
I flashed the HardSPL on the Verizon 6.5 Update. So I guess the answer would be Yes.
I'm really lovin' this 3VO ROM. It's fast and the battery last a lot longer.
i tried your method and i'm still coming up with SPL-0.39.0000
i've tried other peoples guides as well and cant get it to hardspl, any ideas?
I followed all of these steps a few different times and my Bootloader still says .44. I tried varying the steps a little based on what users said on the thread about putting the HardSPL on the .39 and it still didn't help. I'm going to keep trying various configurations, but if anyone else is able to get their Official 6.5 ROM over to the 3VO, I'd love to hear how.
Thanks
what i need to know is what is hardspl i have an ozone that is unlocked but the data area is still locked to verizson and thats why i need to flash so i need to know what is hardspl and if its needed for an unlocked ozone

You can find the hardspl definition here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Glossary
If you want to install a custom rom you will need to hardspl your device.
I hope that helps
I ran auto.bat, when the updater failed I disconnected USB from phone, reconnected, then ran updater manually and it all worked. Had to do this on both the HSPL and the ROM.
Also, make sure you don't uncompress both to same folder as it creates a .nbh file and if you have both on same folder you might be trying to install the ROM instead of the HSPL or vice-versa.
Another note. If you are HSPL already you can turn off device, turn it back on pressing DOWN VOLUME and POWER, leave both pressed until you get to rainbow screen, you can then run the updater and it won't bug you with battery being less than 1/2
I had problem that after screen goes blank, the phone will not connect. Some time "HTC USb Sync" will show, some time not. ROM Update will always complain that phone was not connected.
This is what I did to solve.
1. Power Off.
2. Hold vol dn and send with one hand. Then power with other hand.
3. Choose restore default configuration.
4. Let it boot
5. connect to ActiveSync.
6. Now run auto.bat
7. It runs fine and HArd SPL is loaded.
Enjoy.

Hi there, not sure if this belongs here. If you're planning on putting a custom ROM on the Verizon Ozone, do not use the HTC/Verizon wm6.5 update! "!! DO NOT !!" With the original stock wm6.1, you have a .39 Bootloader. After flashing the HTC/Verizon wm6.5 Stock Rom, you have a .44 Bootloader. And you can forget about putting a Custom/3rd Party ROMS. If somebody knows how to fix this, please tell me.
Thanks, and enjoy your HTC!

Hey guys'n'gals!
I got a QTEK 9100 and I'm stuck at the bootloader screen, it feels like i've tried everything but I can't start the phone.
So I read this tutorial:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
And when I run the Wizard Love Rom exe it tries to verify my phone, but since it's at bootloader screen, ActiveSync won't connect, which results in error from RUU.
Am I doing something wrong or can someone please give me detailed instructions on how to fix this, since I really need my phone!
At bootloader screen it says:
RUU
IPL 2.17
SPL 2.17
USB

All help is appreciated!

Can I please get some help?
I am not sure what you are describing.
It seems like maybe you are trying to install the ROM but RUU won't connect because you are in the bootloader?
Does your phone boot into a ROM, or is is stuck in the bootloader?
If so, do not despair, as long as you see the bootloader your phone can be revived.
I will try to help but need a more thorough description of what you have done and what state your phone is in.
Yes my phone is stuck in bootloader, and every time I boot the phone, I get stuck in the bootloader. This happend after I got stuck in a ROM installation on 99%.
And ActiveSync won't connect since I can't get out of bootloader.
And I don't think that the phone is CID Unlocked.

Some versions of RUU require ActiveSync, others don't. I found an RUU that works from just the bootloader, but I don't remember where. Perhaps it was RoryB's kitchen, I know he included an RUU, and I think maybe it works from just the bootloader.
