Database Info

I've read a ton here but still have one question!

I want to start out by saying I'm really sorry if I'm asking something stupid but I am a complete newbie and do intend to learn as much of this on my own as I can....
I took my brand new AT&T Tilt and I connected it to my Vista Laptop when it was charged fully and used the built-in Windows Mobile Device Center to do a quick connect (like a guest connect where files can be transferred but stuff isn't synched) and ran kaiser_HardSPL which gave me a white screen rather than the expected tri-color screen.
I found the solution for the white screen and did a reset by pushing the stylus into the small hole space on the bottom of the Tilt and then connected it again to my laptop and copied over JumpSPL1.56-KAIS to the phone. I then ran that app from the phone and the tri-color screen showed up. When 'USB' showed up on the screen I disconnected the USB cable for about 10 seconds and plugged it back in. The text 'USB' stayed on the screen and nothing happened after that. I then used the stylus again to reset the PDA again and I am now at my current step.
Am I ready to put a ROM on now? I'm so new to this and I definitely want to learn just not sure what's next....is my CID unlocked? Did everything go correctly or did I miss out on some important step?
What should I do next if I want to put a new ROM on? Whatever help anyone can give me would be very much appreciated.
Looking forward to becoming an active and contributing member to this great community!

Quick question, and I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but did u read?

Thanks for the quick reply -- I did read the different threads that I thought would be dealing with this but was unsure of what to do after I did the white screen fix. The white screen fix said there was a way to test if it worked by checking a splash screen but when I ran that it said make sure you've already done HardSPL first otherwise it can brick your phone so I wasn't sure if I did actually do that step properly or not (of installing HardSPL).
I'd appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you again for taking the time to read my post!

I can answer that!

I apologize for missing something obvious -- could anyone please point me to which thread I should look at?
Thank you.

No your device is still not ready.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061

You're on the right track. From what I gather you can indeed flash something at that stage on SSPL or continue on to flash HardSPL (which is what I believe you intended to do!). Get back to the stage you were at and, from the thread in which you found JumpSPL, flash HardSPL onto your phone. After that point you are totally ready to become a slave to dutty's roms...
Look here and ye shall find: HardSPL will not install - WHITE SCREEN: SOLVED

Well, first correctly install HardSPL, then go on flashing a ROM. You may find my FAQ usable. See my signature.

Nono... one more step to go.
After disconnect and connect usb flash hardspl then softreset.

Already corrected it. But you were faster ^^

Thank you to all of you -- you're all being very helpful!
I ran the flash-hardSPL (ran the file in that folder called KaiserCustomRUU) and it gets all the way to where it is updating the rom image to the kaiser-hardSPL version and it shows 0% on my phone and 0% on the PC and after about a minute or so it says ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR ... it instructs me to remove my battery for 3 seconds, put it back in and try again.
I've done this twice now and keep getting the same error -- any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you once again.

The only thing I can think about is that your phone is simlocked.
Do you have the usb cable connected straight to the pc or do you use a usbhub?

Oh yes, that's true. I didn't realize I had to unlock my phone before I could start this process...I guess I confused it with CID unlocking or something.
I must have missed the part in the newbie FAQ about phones needing to be sim unlocked for all this stuff to work.
I guess I will have to get it unlocked first! Very much appreciate the prompt replies.

oh i just realized my SIM wasn't even in the phone while I was doing this (since I took it out during the white screen fix) -- would putting the SIM back in still create the same problem if my phone isn't unlocked?

Perhaps you could try another CustomRUU. Check this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334890

No, a SIM-lock does not affect flashing.

So you ran JumpSPL from your phone, saw USB displayed on the screen, unplugged the usb cable, replaced it and then ran the hardspl provided from the thread I linked you to? There is no soft resetting going on between seeing USB on the screen and initiating the hardspl flash.

Hi arexben,
I actually was an idiot and soft reset after unplugging and then plugging in the USB and not seeing any change on the screen.
Now if I put JumpSPL on my PDA and try to run it, it won't run saying it can't be opened because its either not signed w/ a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found.
Thank you so much for everyone trying to help me ... so to clarify, my phone has not been unlocked from AT&T and I am assuming I should still be able to get this stuff working.
Thanks again!

holy crap, i have bricked my phone

i tried flashing a non-factory rom to my tilt. the steps i took are listed below.
tried the hardspl utility. got a white screen.
tried the hardspl utility for white screen devices. got the tri-color screen. yay.
ran the custom flasher that came with the custom rom i wanted to try.
got to 27% and stopped. it asked for a restart.
all subsequent flashes get to 0%.
went to the "how to revert" thread and grabbed the att factory rom.
ran the utility. utility returns "invalid vendor id" error.
my tilt shipped with 1.62.00, but the utility tries to install 1.57.502.2. does this matter?
how do i unbrick my phone?

I'd say Hardspl wasnt installed properly. Did you have enough battery life when you started the install of the rom? After a bad install of hardspl, I would ahve tried to reinstall it from the beginning again just to make sure you didnt have any problems. For now, try to pull up hardspl by holding in the power button/camera button (pressed really hard), and pressing the soft reset button in. If you do it right, the tri-color screen should come up. Then try reflashing hardspl if you can, or trying the rom again.
If that doesnt work, if you have At&t you can always connect it to a car battery and let it fry. Just don't cause any damage to the phone physically or with water. Otherwise, it doesnt matter.. you can warranty exchange it.

i followed the instructions for white-screeners.
copy 1.56, see if it white-screens. if it does, copy 1.93 and try again.
got the color bands? good. make the connection and flash away.
right?

doing this does exactly the same thing as simply applying power.

ok, this is probably where i'm not clear. i was under the impression that installing hardspl is as simple as getting to the tri-color screen without white-screening with one of the jumpspl files.

dude your phone isn't broken. you need to stop focusing on what is stated there and listen to what I am saying. You need to install hardspl. 1.93 is only if you were receiving a white screen. Install hardspl let me know what happens. I'll be up for another 1/2 hour customizing a rom.

The new SPL should work. I also got white screen with HardSPL and SPL. But the new one worked on my 2 new dievices.

he can't flash with 1.93 it stalls at 0%. I was under the impression 1.93 is one of the original ATT spl's.

i'm sorry, i didn't mean i'm ready to run out and fry my phone right now, i'd rather fix it.
i guess i'm unclear on what it means to install hardspl. running the .exe from here just does nothing. is there something i'm missing?

Probably not Pof writes clear instructions. Follow his instructions to a T. Since you are receiving white screen follow jockey's instructions here:

ah, ok, see, this is where i have not been clear.
my phone boots to the tri-color screen and does absolutely nothing else. i'm stuck here, unless there's some magical button combination that will get me back into windows. i can't get it to boot to the operating environment.

Umm, can't you just soft-reset to get back to windows from where you are? No magic button combination needed.

soft-reset gets me back to the tri-color screen.

ok this is what i originally asked "are you stuck at tri color screen?"
follow these instructions and stop ****ing yourself over by reading everyone's post at once: (who else helps n00bs at 5am)
First download attached file: Next follow these steps
1. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)
kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
2. put your device into the cradle
3. Run mtty and Choose WCEUSBSH001 in 'PORT' (if it doesn't show then you didn't stop all active sync processes above!)
4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset. (for some devices it can also be "set 14 0")
5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted
6. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot
7. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.

What is wrong with my phone? Tried to Flash new Rom...Black Screen

Okay. I tried to install one of Dutty's ROM's that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398271.
I read through all the stickys and FAQ's first. I read Dutty's wiki, the Kaiser wiki, and the flashing new ROM wiki. I followed all of the directions and followed Dutty's instructions to the T.
After installing the HardSPL found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679), I backed up all my personal info/data.
Then used the Custom RUU Dutty supplied and proceed through the ROM flashing process. Everything went fine and I got no error messages. But when my phone booted up I got a black screen. I waited but my phone stayed on the black screen. So I pressed the standby button on and off a few times and eventually I wound up with a black screen that had about a million multi-colored speckled dots all over it. And I have been stuck on this screen since. I've tried soft-reseting and hard resetting but nothing is working.
I am Using an ATT Tilt BTW.
Please Help me. My phone is my life so right now I'm feeling like Dionne Farris.....Hopeless....

ahh that sounds like a nightmare... wish i could help

hold down power and camera button while inserting stylus it should introduce you to the tri color screen. Please tell us what it states. You may have just experienced a bad flash or you have the radio from hell installed on your device

well it appears to be a bad flash. unplug your device from the usb cable, restart your computer, and flash again.
Hopefully after your computer restarts it will recognize the device as being connected. If it doesn't just double click on your windows mobile device center icon and it should connect. After connecting just reflash the rom

I had the same problem, what i did was read all through the thread of the ROM or while inside the thread i use the search function and type in the keywords like "blank screen" it happened to me exactly, but i didnt bother to post since i found the answer, 1 user said flash it to WM 6.1 i did exactly that and it helped! some said not necessary, but i didnt see that instruction so i flashed the 6.1 blindly and fortunately it worked...
here is the thread

Thanks to everybody for their help.
I just used a different ROM and everything worked perfectly. I guess that ROM just didn't want to work with my phone. But it's okay. The ROM I'm using now is perfect.

Flashed ROM not loading

If the answer is one this site already I apologize to everyone but I have been searching for 3 days now and no joy.
I will try to keep is short and simple.
I have been flashing for the last year now and have never had trouble until now. Flashed Duttys ROM released on June 5th I believe. Went great but still had old HardSPL on my phone. Followed the steps to flash latest SPL 3.29 and it never took. As a matter of fact something happened to the USB and my pc was unable to recognize the device. So I was stuck for the moment and had to leave that way until I had more time.
Received a phone call and when I hung up it went to white screen with call graphics at the bottom, missed call, received call, etc. I soft reset the phone and then the Tri-Color screen came up and this is the info:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.0lIPof
CPLD
I am assuming this is the first HardSPL that I loaded. So then I preceed to flash via SD and it says that the flash completed and was successful. However when I soft reset the phone goes back to the Tri-Color sceen and does not load the image I just flashed.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get this phone working again? I am open to any and all suggestions.
Thank you in advance

does the bootloader show ruunbh on top?

ok this should be an easy fix! the poster above asked the right question!
lets start from scratch now though ok,
-first download SSPL.KAIS and save it to your memory card.
- Download Which ever hardSPL you would like to use.
- run SSPL.KAIS from SD card and then flash New HardSPL, check to make sure it flashed right by going into bootloader should say what ever SPL you just flashed.
- If that flashed correctly then proceed to flashing the HTC WM6.1 shipped ROM, which can be found on the forum! Make sure its a NON-cooked rom...
- If that flashed correctly then pick which ever custom rom you would like and flash that, make sure that flashed correctly and if so your done

Austinsnyc,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Sorry just a few questions and one statement.
The phone is in the Tri-Color screen state constantly. The only way I can load the bootloader is if I rename a ROM to KAISIMG.nbh. Then is something akin to ROM, radio, etc and when that flashes they will have an OK next to them. Alright with that said a few questions.
Do I have to rename the SSPL.KAIS file, it does not run as is? When loaded on the the card, Tri-Color comes up and then for a brief second is says, Loading.....No Image File.
Do I load both files on the card at the same time and do I have to rename them? i.e. KAISIMG.nbh
Thank you for your help

No it doesn't. I will say KAISIMG.nbh, the ROM I renamed to load. Then is list all the features of that ROM, i.e. OS, SPL, radio. I flash it and it says success but still will not load.

I will research the this more. It does say usb on the phone with plug in otherwise when unplugged it says serial. When plugged in I can't see usb in the drop down in MTTY. I will keep reading.
Btw, it now says RUUNBH in the top right hand corner.

that means you have bad data blocks which can also be cleared using mtty.

I must be very thick, I can't get MTTY to connect. Every time I plug in the USB to my Vista OS pc is says it can't recongize the device and it has malfucntioned. I know the USB is working, it was up until I was having this problem at least.
So I start MTTY and look for USB in the drop down for Port but only COM 1 & 2 show up.
So any other suggestions you or anyone else may have is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your patience

with Vista you need to use Mtty 5.13 which can be found in the FrankenKaiser radio from hell thread. There is also a guide on how to install the old XP drivers to WindowsMobileDeviceCenter that helps a bunch with USB issues. Also I think you miss understood me the tri-color screen is the Bootloader screen!!!

I don't think it means bad blocks for sure.

Ok. I have read just about everything I can find on MTTY, old XP drivers (which I already have installed) and I still can not get anything to work. When I plug in the phone via usb, pc says it cannot recongize the device and it must have malfunctioned. I have tried MTTY 5.13 numerous times and still cannot get usb to show up and have been unseccessful with all my attempts to connect via a COM port.
Is there any place in NYC, Brooklyn or Queens that I can take this phone too and someone with more experience can fix this for a fee of course? I just and need to get my phone working again.

So I have another question since I have been unable to get anywhere with the dang thing.
I am unable to get my laptop/pc to recognize the phone, I can't even get drives to load. Been searching and reading and still looking for a solution to this issue. If you know where is answer is in this forum could you please point me in the right direction?

I am a complete noob to all this, but managed to flash Duttys Rom.

I was incredibly pleased with the results.
The phone ran better than ever till this morning. The sound stopped working, I soft reset and now I cant get past the tri-coloured (boot loader ?) screen.

The best thing for you to do is contact GSLEON3 to see if he can help you out.

Thanks for your response.
I somehow seem to have gotten somewhere.
I just repeatedly kept trying to hard re-set, taking the battery out, connecting USB.... and then it hard-reset.
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
I wonder if you can recommend a stable ROM? I love the speed and battery life of the one I installed but dont like the idea of being between meetings and having a phone in limbo.
Thanks again.

Stuck at HardSpl 3.29 Tri-Color Screen

Okay I got up this morning and my phone was working fine. But then I restarted it and it just booted to the tri-color screen. So i took out the battery and I did a reset and it just keeps comming back.
So I thought that the rom might have went bad, dont know how but I though I would just refalsh it to see if it works. I flashed correctly and said it was complete but just reboot back to the tri-color screen. So the flash will complete fine but cannot get out of boot loader. I tryed flashing original and cooked rom, same result.
So I thought I would try and flash back to an older hard spl, I have hardspl 3.29 right now so I thought I would try hardspl 3.28 just to see if issue would be fixed. So I flash it and it completes, then reboots to tri-color again, but instead of saying 3.28 like it should it still says 3.29. Wierd??
So I through I would give mtty a try and see if I could get past the boot loader. I tryed the boot command which gave me a command error so I did some searching and tryed:
"set 16 0"
"task 8" <- causes phone to restart and goes back to tri-color.
Right now I am stuck at this tri-color screen and I think I am never going to get out. This came up randomly my phone has been working fine for a while now until today.
Can someone please help me on how to make it work????
Thank you to anyone who provides help.

Hi sngskunk, I have a similar problem. After a radio flashing, my phone stopped in tri-color screen, returned to normal after 24h, then returned to hang on tri-color screen. By coincidence it happened after using the camera. I suspect that might be a hardware problem, maybe a short circuit in the camera button, but I will make sure after opening the unit and clean the contacts of the button.

I am going to try and take the phone apart and look at the camera button to see if that is the problem, but is there a command in mtty that will boot the os, after the bootloader.
Because i have tryed the boot command and that doesn't work in Hardspl 3.29, I get a cammand error. I have tryed resetting it but if the camera button is stuck then it is going to go back to the original tri-color screen.

Okay so I toke my phone apart to check the camera button, the button looks fine didnt look dirty or full of dust and I check the micro switch and it seemed okay. While the phone was a part I turned it on to check to see if it would boot to the os, but it didnt it stopped at the spl, and I know that the camera button wasnt pushed.
Going to try and install a new radio just to see if that fixes it, if not, I am all out of ideas.

Try flashing a shipped ROM via MicroSD

I tryed installing a radio by itself, didnt fix it.
Installed original shipped rom from microsd, flash when perfect, said it was complete, reset it phone and it came back to the tri-color screen.
There is no "RUU**" i dont know what else is in that string but some people get in at the top of the screen when they are having my problem, but mine does not have it.

I would try going though the FrankenKaiser steps and see if that works? Just an idea

I looked up the post you are talking about and I am confused on it, because if I have the phone connected with the usb cable and use mtty. There is no command named dload.
Code:
cmd>dload
Command error !!!
Ofcouse now that I look at that post again that was in the spl, I cannot get to the radio boot loader the way he says, holding down the green phone and turning on the phone doesnt work just boots into the spl again.
Okay well i found a good post on how to do it but I get errors on the commands becuase in the post he isnt using hardspl 3.29 the cammand is the following:
rtask a <--- gets command error

I try these steps on saturday, but hardspl 3.* don't suport rtask command . If nothing more resolve, I am putting my chips on this tool (read post 6) ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415839

I've run into the exact same problem.
I just turned off my phone, turned it back on and now it's just stuck.. can't load anything.
2nd time i've had a problem with this phone

Ok so i've also noticed something else with this problem.
Basically, what had happened, I did the same thing as the first post. All I did was reset my phone. I turned it back on, and i'm stuck at bootloader screen
When it is loading, it flashes the screen to a complete white screen that says "Loading. No Image File!"
Then it goes right back to the bootloader screen and that's that.
It seems as though hard resetting, mtty or flashing back to original rom does not work.
Does anyone know what the heck is going on?

@kjb, have you tried the suggestions by AllTheWay and myself in the other thread you posted in. It's very hard to keep up when issues are on going in 2 threads. Please stick to just one, I suggest the other one.

hmmmm, ok for mtty it's not working. There is no USB present and I can't select it.
It won't allow me to do any of the settings just by selecting COM1 or COM2.

Did you disable USB connections first?

No. Nothing was disabled. Activesync was not present at all either and nothing was in the task manager.
Few things i've noticed:
a) when flashing to a new rom (or attempting too) there is no image listed in the previous ROM
b) my phone would be off, I'll plug it in to the USB and all of a sudden my phone will turn on right to bootloader.
Don't know if that makes a difference, but it's just some observations for you guys.

No you need to disabled USB connections in Activesync for MTTY to work!
