Tilt Was bricked..any ideas as to unbricking?

hey Guyz. I have a Tilt that a customer gave me that got bricked while trying to flash one of dutty's roms...Problem is that the genius didn't load up Hard SPL even tho he told me that he did...now He wants me to fix it...even tho he didn't follow my instructions and read the WiKi...I kno that on the Hermes it was able to be unbricked. Is the same for the Kaiser possible? I would greatly appreciate your help as my customers are loving the work you guyz do here in nyc..
Thanks in Advance!

What is the current status of the phone?
Can you get into the bootloader at all?
If you can get to the bootloader you should be able to load the AT&T AKU v0.4.4 ROM (the unoffical upgraded AT&T ROM). Once you get that loaded you should flash HardSPL immediately.
Let me know how it goes...
Cheers.

I bricked my tilt when it was less than 24 hours old... I recovered it with a BETA of the ATT rom and THEN redoing the hardspl thingy - worked a treat.
Do a search for tolt bricked and you should find afew threads for it.
The rom is called something like RUU_Kaiser_ATT_WWE....._Internal.exe

It goes to the Tri-Color Screen but stays there..I'll go ahead and research it so I can find the original AT&T and load it up...It shows a lot..workin for at&t and being a member on xda...U guyz have no idea how ya make life easier for my tilt customers b/c at&t truly dropped the ball on the rom...and by offering alternatives..u make the user experience so much better...thanks!

If you are at the bootloader screen (Tri-Color) then the phone is not bricked. In the sticky at the top on how to revert back for warranty replacement, it has links for the various roms. Just flash an official AT&T rom on it and you should be good to go. Then do the HardSPL.
Cool that you work for AT&T and hang out here! If you have any other warranty returns, I can give you my address as I wouldn't mind having a backup or two...
BTW: The AT&T ROM for the Tilt is actually quite good in the big picture of things. At least the phone is usable (slower than it should be and less memory than it should have, but its still very usable and stable on the official rom). If you want to ***** about official roms, go back to the 8125 and its official rom. The while the device (at the time) was great, that rom made the phone almost worthless (super slow, battery problems, bad radio, dropped calls, freezing, etc). I can't tell you how many people that run custom roms on the Wizard just can't believe what that phone is actually capable of.
Ok, sorry, got off topic there...

does Hard-SPL needs to be flashed just once on a device or does it need to be installed every tome a new ROM is going to be Flashed onto it?

For some reason, it's not being recognized by my Activesync. I got it to recognize it but now it sayz Error 294: Invalid Vendor ID...I'm using the RUU_Cingular_WWE Rom for the Kaiser...so I'm flabbergasted at this point...

ActiveSync will not recognize your device when in BootLoader mode!
The Vendor ID error means the ROM cannot be loaded on the Tilt without HardSPL. You need an original Tilt ROM. (That's what I think about this)

Oddly enough the "Original" Tilt ROM will not install on a Tilt that does not already have HardSPL on it (to spell it out for you, the CID of the ROM does not match the Tilt's stock SPL). If you check the "reverting back" sticky you'll find all this info already, though it is deep in the thread.
The AKU v.0.4.4 ATT Beta ROM does have the correct CID and will flash on a stock Tilt. SO that is what you are forced to resort to at this point. Once you get the beta ROM installed you can (and probably should) install HardSPL.
After all that, if you decide you want to return or warranty the phone follow the "revert" thread to restore it to "stock" form.
Some additional notes on your problem...
ActiveSync will not connect in Bootloader mode (this is expected). You should see a device show up in Device Manager however, I can't recall the exact description however.
quick flash procedure:
put phone in bootloader
connect usb cable
install ROM
FYI, the problem may not be a bricked tilt... you could try Pof's fix which involves using MTTY.exe to boot the phone, depending on how your "customer" tried to flash it it may just need a kick in the pants to restore it. (search Pof's SSPL for the Kaiser thread for instructions, the thread was closed so you will have to look deep).
<climbing on my soapbox>
Lastly... your use of the word "customer" concerns me... are you charging people for the work you do to their phones? If so, do you donate to the people who make it possible? I'm probably just misunderstanding you, but if you're profiting from others work, perhaps you should contribute (especially if you're coming here to ask for help).
</climbing down>
Good Luck!
Cheers.

Customers as in I work for an AT&T corporate owned Retail location and they have bought Tilts from me. They kno my Tilt has been modded and they usually want to do the same. I don't charge them for doing mods to their Tilts. This still remains a community where we help each other and I cherish that. Greed has no place here.

as far as ur suggestions...It looks like I'm gonna be drunk @ 4am on XDA tonite...lol...

That's cool... my misunderstanding then. Hopefully no hard feelings .
All in all it sounds like the guy wants a custom ROM so you should probably get the ATT Beta ROM and install that. And then install HardSPL.
Check Kyphur's second post in the thread below for the ROM you want.

Thanks for the info sycho...I'll get to it after work..

Good news! The AKU 0.33 worked! Thanks for ur help sycho!

how can i re-install the window? at tilt 8925
i have wm6.1
i want to reset it so the error message shud gone like Recover ?

@kaal,
It seems what you want to do is a HARD RESET. Please visit Kaiser Wiki and read through. You'll know your phone better that way.
@HTCFan & Sirsycho, Glad you both sort it out in the community spirit Cheers!

How to get Radio from my Tytn II - to unlock Sim

Hi - I'm trying to unlock my sim for an Orange Tytn II but notice that with the unlocker I will lose my radio 1.27.12.29 and need to reinstall it.
I have looked around the site but cannot find it anywhere.
1) If it is out there, could some kind person point me in the right direction.
2) If not, how do I copy - dump down and then reload it to my TyTnII
Many thanks,

Well you should be a little more appreciative that he actually responded to such a quesiton. Take that radio he pointed you to and do a search.

I have followed these links earlier...
What I found was a Dutch Rom download (which I have downloaded). Am I to assume that the radio that I mentioned earlier in this thread can somehow be extracted from the Rom? All I can see is Part00.raw etc....hardly fills me with confidence....I am not Dutch so have no interest in loading up a Dutch Rom in it's entirity.
Sorry to sound so dumb, but dumping the Rom from my Orange phone sounds immensely complicated and was hoping that there was a simple way to get hold of the Radio and load it back in.
Or...A simple way to unlock my phone and make it Sim agnostic...if ya get my drift...

Yes, the unlock procedure states that you need to flash back your original Radio. But as you rightly say, you can't because it isn't available anywhere.
Don't worry. You don't actuall need to reinstall 1.27.12.29. I unlocked mine, flashed the standard HTC ROM to it and then flashed 1.27.12.17 and it works like a charm. If anything, I find that the battery life is a bit better with .12.17
I'm sure that .12.29 will become available at some point. Unless you specifically need it for a warranty return then I wouldn't worry about not having it and perhaps flash .12.17 to it instead.

Okeydokes, thanks for that. I don't yet need my phone unlocked, so may hold off for a bit until I can be sure that if I need to I can reload the original radio.
I noticed on another thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
that there is a full ROM for the UK-Orange TyTn II -(UK Orange 1.81.61.2) but was unsure if this was an exact copy...which would pass the "warranty" chaps... I'm also not quite sure how you put it in...but I'm sure many hours more reading will tell me how to do that....

Brainless & Confused

Sorry guys & gals. New to this but cannot get a handle on the right thing to do. Can anybody help? Yes have read the basics but its not basic to me I am afraid.
I have got an HTC TYTNII from Orange. Need to unlock the sim card lock. Then would like to clear out all the Orange rubbish with a rom flash I think its called (havent got all the words right just yet). However as I paid a few quid forthe phone do not really wish to stew it!! If you know what I mean Harry! Cannot find hardspl etc on so on have ativesync fitted and running. All help greatly appreciated.

This webpage has a ton of files that have been extremely helpful to me so far...
http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/

dont really know how to help
but
if you want to use hardspl is on the sticky thread
activesync can be downloaded from ms depending on the os you are using.
if you want more help tell me what you need and i will guide you
satiros

Lots of reading
I suggest you do lots more reading.
However, as a starter, go to :
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/kaiser-unlock.php
Pay for the unlocking service.
Then, and only then, install HardSPL
Following that, you can install any ROM you like (for Kaiser / TYTN II)
If you install a ROM based on Windows Mobile 6.1, chances are you will have to install a new Radio coding too. You should install the one for UK Vodaphone on :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Radio
Don't worry, it works on Orange, I have it on mine.
I recommend the Alex ROM even though it is still a Beta version, it is very good.
After you install the ROM and done a hard reset (keep both soft buttons pressed down whilst pressing the reset button with your stylus) install the radio, then do another hard reset.
Bingo, it's like a different phone.

Thanks for the info have carried out the first bit awaiting reply. Where can I download HardSPL please? Having looked at your recommended ROMs Which one?.. wow some cooking I can see I will be Flashing all day!!

Need help (Rom flashing stuck)

Hi I'm not new to PDA but i'm new to flashing and roms and stuff.
I have a HTC tytn 2 whit an english (UK) rom on it (no brand the real one from HTC itself). I want to have an dutch rom after some browsing and a bit of reading i stumble upon some things that would be great if it worked. But i'm actully a little to scared to try stuff (600 € is not a toy to play with and you need to be sure doing stuff right). So what i know so far is that i need a NL rom i have chosen this one NoThrills_WM61_NLD_V3 i dont like the branded things so NO thrills. So then i read that i need to HardSPL the thing. So i run it, guess what white screen, no problem as i've read further i need to use the jumpspl instead so i run it and the i get the Tri-color. Now what i don't know is what i need to do next. Cause in the other tutorial they use this program to run the "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility" whit the exe file. I'm stuck here. What do i need to do now to get the rom onto the device or do i need to do it another way?
Thanks in advance.

No expert here - the WIKI is your friend.
The jumpspl is there only to get you past the white screen. You STILL need to HARDSPL your phone or you will brick it.
The white screen problem only adds another step to what you need to do.
You really need to go and read and re-read until you are sure of what you are doing or you will need GSLEON3.
So - an overview of what you need to do:
1. get past the white screen - (using jumpspl) and then put HARDSPL on your phone - DO NOT PROCEED until you can see either OLIPOF or JOCKY on your boot screen.
2. once you have hardspl installed you are going to want to flash your phone - frequently a radio comes with the flash - other times it does not and you will have to pick a radio to flash.
Trust me this is worth it in the long run - but it will raise your blood pressure - no go get your asbestos suit on and read!
Bill

waiting for a mod to close this thread as it is redundant.
if u read the jumpspl thread it clearly tells u what to do next.

Redundant thread.
Please read the WIKI and _Alex_ Sticky. It has all the information that you need.
Looks like the post in this thread alone should answer your question.

seriously urgent help needed with gsm htc touch pro!!!!!

hi everyone,
iv got a htc touch pro,to be precise it is my first ever smartphone and i have tried to flash and add a new rom to my handset.i read all forums and threads on various sites about how to perform a successful flash and rom.installation of the rom were successful,but my phone does not load up to main screen at all!does that mean my touch pro is bricked????however,i can go to the bootloader and try a hard reset,but that doesnt work either.i have found out that my handset was already unlocked using Olinex.
Please can anyone help me out???im really really stressed out.
many thanks.

Ok, best thing to try is to download the official factory rom.
Start the phone and get it to the boot-loader screen.
Plug it in to your PC and wait for the word USB to show up at the bottom of the phone's screen.
Next run the factory rom installation on the PC and go through the steps. It should hopefully flash fine back to the original OS.

thanks alot,that really helped!!!!you havent a clue how stressed out i was when that happened.anyways,i could do with some more help.since i bought this phone,my net has NOT been working.it was officially branded on vodafone but it was unlocked by previous owner.i have ordered official settings from Htc and o2 themselves and still no result.anyone have any solution(s) for this problem?????
like alot of people have said to me,without net on these smartphones,the TP is nothing!so if anyone has a solution,please DO tell me about it
Many thanks.

I would disagree that without internet smartphones are nothing.... but that's not the point. Do you know which ROM you're using?
Are you using a stock rom? if so, from which company.
Alot of people here have their signature to show what rom/radio/phone (type) they have. it makes it easier for those who want to help to provide answers or suggestions faster and you wont have to get nagged asking the same question everytime

Firstly - slow down!
Not quite sure if you have a problem now or not, and if you do, if its the same as you started with.
From what you have written:
You have read some stuff
You have flashed some stuff
it hasnt worked as you expected
you asked for help on here
you may have flashed some more stuff
you may or may not have a problem still.
No offence, but its pretty tricky to offer much in the way of useful assistance when we dont know what state the phone is in.
Dont panic - enter the bootloader. Note what it says (SPL)
Reset, note the rom & radio versions.
See what works & what doesnt.
Read the forum rules - especially about starting new posts and how to name them (seriously urgent help needed isnt very descriptive). Use the search function to see if your problem has been answered (lots of connectivity issues will have been). If you still are having problems, reply to this post, or make a new one if more appropriate, saying clearly what you have (including rom & radio as appropriate) and what you are stuck with.
Oh, welcome to the forums.
