Hey all, first post long time reader.
Please dont flame me, i have tried to search for the answer but seem to be going nowhere.
Is anybody getting the Error [262] while using KaiserCustomRUU.exe? I just flashed Dutty's DualTouch v4, that worked great! Now i am trying to flash the radio, i have heard good things about 1.27.12.17. It will not flash, I have followed the instructions over and over again. It gets to the point where it shows the completion bar, it gets stuck with 0%. I follow the instructions, pull the battery out and try again, no luck. I have noticed that during the process active sync goes from green to grey. (I think this is supposed to happen) But the odd thing is that the "Local Area Connection" (for the phone) in Windows XP Network Connection disappears. I am guessing this is my problem. Does anybody know what causes the phone to disconnect from the computer? Or am i doing something obviously wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
also - after it locks up at th 0% screen, and after i receive the error 262, i then unplug the phone from the computer. when i do this, windows makes the sound of a USB device getting unplugged. so does that mean i really didnt loose connection, and the error 262 is due to something else?
Did you use Hard SPL Before flashing.Is a must to not brick your phone.

Read carefully and will be OK.
Yes i have used HardSPL. I have already flashed with Duty's DualTouch ROM, and it WORKS. It was really easy and painless. For some reason I can not get the radio to flash. From my understanding, HardSPL only needs to be done once. That changes the bootloader, i think? Either way, I already did the HardSPL, flashed the ROM, just want to change the radio now. As the instructions said, this can be done after I flash the ROM using CustomRUU. Any thoughts?
I am going to go ahead and try to flash a custom flash screen. Will post back results
I tried using the CustomRUU to flash Kaiser with new splash screen, but no luck. Same error as before. Good news is that the phone still works!
If you are shure about Hard SPL (you can check again if is rited OLIPOF) "Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus"-to enter in Bootloader and check again.
If is correct I sugest to reflash with original HTC Rom (wich include radio ) and after that start again with HardSPL --- Radio --- ROM upgarde

i had followed the insructions from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679

looks like i did something wrong? it does not say OLIPOF
any ideas? can i just do it all over again, and be safe?
thanks for your help.
You had some luck to flash cooked ROM without Hard SPL.Be more carefuly and read .Those guys work for us to be protecyed from breaking our phones
yes but read carefuly:
Please make sure ActiveSync is enabled (GREEN icon in systray)
and hit ENTER to start...
Kaiser JumpSPL is running on your device, please check your device
screen and follow the steps until you see the tri-color screen.
When done hit ENTER to continue...
Device screen should be now TRI-COLOR and show "USB"
===> PLEASE UNPLUG AND RE-PLUG THE USB CABLE NOW <===
===> PLEASE UNPLUG AND RE-PLUG THE USB CABLE NOW <===
===> PLEASE UNPLUG AND RE-PLUG THE USB CABLE NOW <===
ActiveSync icon should become gray after that.
When done hit ENTER to continue...
Phone screen should now be tri-color and the activesync icon gray
if not, the loading process has failed and you'll have to repeat it again.
If all was OK hit ENTER and the standard "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility"
window will start, allowing you to flash HardSPL on your device.
Hit CTRL+C to Cancel or ENTER to continue...
Follow the steps on the wizard to flash HardSPL, when finished your
device will reboot. It should last no more than 1 minute.
- Launching RUU, please wait...
Process is finished, congratulations!
I see what you are saying. So some how I managed to just flash on the JumpSPL, and bypass the last steps of flashing HardSPL?
So now I should follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061
do step - "if you want to flash a hardSPL then run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from flash-hardSPL.zip on your PC"
or do you suggest i just try to install HardSPL over again.
damn i suck, i thought i was being careful.
try Hard SPL but follow the instruction and don't hurry wait for every message from that window
That thread is just in case your phone don't enter in bootloader
will do, thanks for your help!
its definetly not my first day using a computer, flashing ROMs, etc. damn i feel like a complete newb
hey it worked. thanks for your help. if you are ever in chicago, PM me. i owe you a few beers.
No problem .Glad can help.

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.

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

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...

See SPL.zip in the attachment, which is the SPL from the latest RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship, unzip it then you get RUU_signed.nbh and CustomRUU.exe.
Copy the SSPL-KAIS.exe to your phone (if you had to use the White Screen fix you'll need jwocky2001's JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe).
Run SSPL-KAIS.exe from your phone (or JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, depending on your situation).
The Bootloader tri-color screen should appear.
Check SPL version number: if it ends in ".JumpSPL" then everything is fine.
Unplug the USB cable and re-plug it.
Run CustomRUU.exe to flash SPL.
After it's finished verify your SPL by holding down power and camera buttons while doing a soft reset. It should be SPL-3.28.0000.
This is all at your own risk, good luck!
Use at your own Risk!
bengalih said:
So how do I change my SPL?
I would like to make a few amendments/comments to his instructions based on my experiences. The first is that I have found that you don't need to remove you SIM card, but you do need to remove your SD card. The second is that JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe will probably not work, so just use JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe instead.
Also, step 4 and 5 are very important. Once you have launched JumpSPL you will see, after a few seconds, "USB" appear on the bottom white of the bootloader screen. If it doesn't show then either your device is not plugged into your USB port OR your SD card is still in the device. Remember that once is displays "USB" you want to unplug your USB connection and then reconnect it a few seconds later. No message will display when you plug your USB back in, and ActiveSync will not start (if it does start you should worry!) so assume that everything is ok and continue on.
Using the above procedures you should be able to flash between different SPLs with ease. To summarize I will go through the procedure I use to quickly flash between SPLs. Remember to read the above links first so you understand the tools and basic procedures:
Get the SPL file (in .NBH format) that i want to flash along with the KaiserCustomRUU.exe and put it in a folder on my PC. (just unzip ATT_19213_SPL_3.29.0000.zip)
Plug my device into my PC
Copy JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe to your device.
Take out my SD card
Run JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe on your device (click on the exe)
Wait for the bootloader screen (tri color screen) to appear and "USB" to show.
Unplug my device from the USB port, wait 5 seconds, plug it back in.
Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe (on your PC) and flash the SPL (in the directory where you unzipped ATT_19213_SPL_3.29.0000.zip)
Your done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
THese files if using the V3.5 death rom
Use ATT_19213_SPL_3.29.0000.zip for step 1 and 8
Use JumpSPL1.93-Kais.zip for step 3
All of this information can be found in the very informative thread by bengalih found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396235
IT actually appears that you have your SPL already HardSPL'd if you have:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL1.0.olipof
CPLD-8
Therefore you only need to pick the SPL you want and flash it. Now if you want to either change the radio, rom, or spl in the future, you would need to re-do the HardSPL.
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

you should go here ...
I had a problem when I first did mine. at the tri-color screen my phone never said USB on it and my computer showed an unknown usb device. Here's what worked for me but remember you only need to do this the first time, Once you have HardSPL flashed your phone will work like normal.
after your phone gives you a warning that a program is going to reboot it. You get a tri-color screen. As soon as you see this screen hold the camera and power button and press the reset button, don't disconnect the usb cable.
In other words the program that causes your phone to reboot doesn't allow the usb to work properly but a manual reboot into the SPL using the camera/power button does. I have not tried the "Forced USB" version of HardSPL because this problem goes away once you get HardSPL installed.
This would be better posted in the HardSPL thread.
Flash an official stock ROM, then follow ALL the instructions in the link deepthroat gave you to the T.
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

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!
