Problems changing ROMS

Hi,
I've searched for a solution to my problem but having no luck.
I have a UK SPV M5000, I uploaded the PDAVIET WM6 ROM, for testing, I want to install another rom, but everytime the RUU runs it goes into recovery mode,and fails even after a hard reset etc.
The Uni boots and starts fine, but I need to flash another rom, I have even tried going back to the offical WM5 rom with no luck.
Can someone please advise how to get around the RUU error?.
Flashing from XP, Uni full battery etc, I've done a few prevous devices with no problem.
Thanks

First, put your Universal in bootloader before flashing.
Second, use MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe RUU to flash.
Good luck

Thanks worked a treat!
Cheers

NEW SIMLOCK? Emergency calls...

hey hey.
I tried the Simunlocker by jotach
Everything works fine. I get the code to enter, but the field for the 8 digit PIN isn´t there because I only can make Emergency calls...
I thougt it could be ROM problem and I´ve testet all HTC ROM till 1.57. and Installed the radio 1.0
No success.
I read about more people with this problem and without success. Is there another way to unlock? Or is this Phone to new?
Any comment is welcome!

Look on the vert first post under sticky. Unlock your Kaiser is o simple. I test my unlock Tilt with T-Mobile SIM I pop off my iphone. Wow, it works!!!!
Now, I can switch my Tilt with my iphone when ever I need it!!

Are you using a 6.1 ROM or 6.0 ROM? I had the same problem with a 6.1 ROM. I was forced to downgrade to a 6.0 ROM, Load the simunlocker, then load up the 6.1 ROM again. Hope this helps, Let me know how it goes.

Hi.
I appear to be having problems and my phone now thinks there is no sim inserted!!
#5. After you unpacked the download you see directories "step1" and "step2". Go into directory "step1" and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe.
This will flash the special patched radio rom. Follow the instructions until it is finished.
Everything was fine up to here!
Note that you can also skip step 6. and proceed with step 7.
#6. Power off your Kaiser and insert a 'strange' SIM, i.e. a SIM from another provider than the one your phone is locked to.
After changing sim as per #6, it now says “Insert SIM card”. – not proceeded to stage #7 yet.
#7. Once Windows Mobile has booted up it will (usually after you have entered the usual 4-digit PIN) show a window called "Simlock" and a textbox where you can enter a 8-digit unlockcode. Now perform a soft reset by pressing the reset button *but* at the same time keep the camera button pressed. If you did it well you will be back in bootloader mode and you see the tri-color screen. The best technique is to press and hold the camera button first and then shortly press the reset button with the stylus.
Anyone got any ideas, as my phone now does not recognise either my original sim or my spare sim.
I see there are a number of people who have experienced this problem.
My phone is the MDA Vario 3 on T-Mobile.
I didn't take a note of the correct ROM reference, only the bottom line which was "P 1.56.110.4", so I wouldn't know which ROM to flash it back to at the end.
All other functions are fine. WiFi, GPS and all my settings. I now have an american keyboard, so lost the £ (£) sign.
It will not recognise either my UK T-Mobile sim or my UK 3 sim.

I tried with 6.0 and 6.1 !! HTC ROM, AT&T ROM dont work for me.
I downloaded them here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
No success and i´ve tested lots of them!

I had exactly the same problem. Caused me a right headache, follow these steps:-
You are more than likely running 6.0 or 6.1 rom, you will need to downgrade first to a rom that's 5.xx first. Then run the Simunlocker and it will work and you will notice the icon to click "OK" on the sim entry screen will appear.
You can then reflash back to the rom that you are currently using, but I would suggest flashing dutty's rom as it's the best.
So to recap:-
1) Downgrade to a rom that's 5.xx first
2) Then run Simunlocker.
3) Then reflash to your current rom or Dutty's.
4) Might be wise to make a note of the radio version you are using as well and then reflash this again.
Good luck.

There is no such thing as a WM5 rom for the Kaiser. Your only choice is 6.0 or 6.1.

OK, I'm wrong on the 5x version (i'm a bit of a newbie). To clarify this I flashed Alex's rom to fix the problem (6.0). Quote from Simunlocker:-
Note for WM6.1 users
================
Do not try this on 6.1! You will need to downgrade to 6.0
Farmer Joe - here's the link to the thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354583
You will need to search for Alex's Flash rom - ver .52 ultraclean (this worked for me). Then run simunlocker, then run Dutty's rom if you want, then flash a later radio rom for better battery life (I'm using 1.64.08.21...)
How do we setup a WIKI for Orange users then? Any ideas - new to me sorry.

Actually he is correct. I assume he's talking 5.0 CE Version, which indeed the standard WM6.0 Roms are. WM6.1 is CE OS 5.2.
That is the embeded CE version that WM is based upon.
CE 5.0 or 5.1 = WM6.0
< CE 5.2 = WM6.1

Wizard ROM flash - work but no chnage after it finishes

Hi experts,
I have an old Wizard that works well, but I want to update it.
I flashed the 3.08 SPL and Radio 2.71. It works very well with these.
I have the T-mobil ROM 2.26 on it.
When I flash ANY ROM, the process works perfectly, BUT (!!!) the handset reconfigures itself with the T-mobile 2.26 stuff, and the reported version HAS NOT CHANGED.
Can you suggest a solution please?
O, I had pulled the SD card out.
Thanks
Eric

You flash a different rom, it updates it, finishes at 100% and tells you everything is ok. then WM loads and you see the previous rom?

is it radio issue?

Hi guys, my raphael was working good when stoped working the EDGE radio, it connects right on the anthem, but doesnt get signal, loosing the information with the connection timeout reason.
I think it is my radio, I have never messed with raphael HardSPL, just installed the rom 5.05.401.1 WWE official HTC rom disponible on the official HTC WEBSITE, only clicking on the file.
And I updated my radio too, installing the 1.11.25.01 version, official to the fuze, it was working so good, suddenly it broken the signal and have already passed 5 days.
I was thinking about re-installing the radio, seems that when I installed the 1.11.25.01 Radio version I didnt need to loose all my installed programs, data etc, only updating the rom, not loosing information as in the ROM installation.
I would like to re-install this rom version, or the last and best rom version with loose my data, I didnt remember the procedure, if I needed to instal the HardSPL or no, but by my remembering, only executed the .exe files on the desktop
help please!

i was needing this help so much, please help me guys, i tested my chip on another mobile and worked the edge

Be sure to flash Hard SPL before you do anything!!!!!
After you do that, you can go ahead and flash.
If I were you, I'd flash a different radio to see if it works better, I recommend .28, .32, and the .19 test.
If that doesn't work then let us know.

I cannot say if your radio is the problem. If you're installing an official HTC or provider ROM, you do not need HardSPL. If you want to install a cooked one here off XDA, you do. This great guide will help you flash a cooked ROM and/or radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
You're right, if you flash a radio, then you will not lose anything in your Storage Memory. If you flash a ROM, you will, so be sure to back up your PIM. PPCPimBackup does a great job for that, you can find it at d0ugie's site: http://blownfuze.org/ Your contacts and calendar should come back right away after the restore, but the messages take a while to rebuild, so don't touch it for at least 15 mins after the reboot.

I was trying to flash the HardSPL, and it goes to an ERROR
Trying to flash a Radio goes to an ERROR too, my raphael is only accepting the official's HTC ROM, when flashing anything it cracks on 0%
wtf?

By default, you cannot flash anything but an HTC or provider ROM; you cannot flash radios either. You have to flash HardSPL before you flash a custom ROM or a radio.
Have you tried running SSPLManual.exe as outlined in the guide above, step 2 note 2?

I've encountered a problem flashing cooked rom like ROM Energy, Black-X,

It appen flashing both by Activesync (USB connection, antivirus/firewall not active) and flashing by micro sd.
In my PDA i've installed HSPL Olinex 1.56 (i can see it in boot screen), but i can't install any rom except Phoenix 1.1 based on WM 6.5.
I tried also to format the PDA with procedure suggest by mtty software, but nothing changed.
Can someone help me to resolve the problem? Is the HSPL OliNex 1.56 right

I know this is an old thread, but I am just adding a reply to those with similar problems in the future.
If you are flashing from microSD, then the problem might be with the microSD. Try using another (you may have to try a few) microSDs ranging from Class2-Class4. I have no problem when flashing from Class2 or Class4 microSD.
