Cant Flash my Vox! Plz Help

Hi All,
Out of the blue my HTC Vox stopped booting. I mean, it would load to the windows mobile screen and then stay there till eternity. Removing my memory card and SIM also did not help! I then tried the hard reset option.
Even after hard reset it sometimes boots(1 out of 15 times) and when it does...it hangs after 10 to 12 minutes. Still have not put my sim n memory card into the phone.
I tries flashing the ROM using the ARA 1.27 ROM. After it rebooted to the bootloader, the flash utility gave a connection error! It did not connect to ActiveSync and stayed at the bootloader screen.
I still do not know how to flash it successfully.
If anybody can help me out, I'll be extremely grateful!
Thanks
Prateek

take the battery out, put it back.
connect your Vox (USB).
Hold the camera button and turn on your Vox.
you should see a red, blue and green screen (if my memory works as it should) and the computer should recognize the device, though you won't be able to explore it with activesync.
Run the SDA_ApplicationUnlock thingy (if you need to)
now try flashing the device.
If it flashes but after 3% restart, you need to do a CID unlock right before flashing.
hope that helps.

Invalid Vendor ID
Hi MoRkusReX,
Its giving me Invalid Vendor ID. How do I CID unlock it?
Thanks,

first post , download the last file:
Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip
There a Readme file in there, you should read it.
post back where you're done.

No Luck!
Hi MoRkusReX,
Since my phone is not booting into the OS thus I cannot use the UPSL_CID provided in the link.
Only once I have been able to boot into my OS and followed the instructions given in the link. The phone comes to the Linux black screen and then switchers off. Then the ROM Update Utility with which i'm trying to update the ROM gives an error that "cannot connect to the phone".
So, now I need to flash my ROM from the bootloader itself. Have managed to get mtty and connect to the phone. But even trying ResetDevice command, the phone does not boot.
Can you tell me the exact steps to flash a new ROM from the bootloader itself including CID unlocking? Can it be done??
Thanks,
Prateek

yes it can be done.
you don't need to boot to OS, I couldn't either. after the steps from my first post here, run the uspl_116_jockyw.bat file. follow instructions.
that will unlock the CID.
Now the VOXs' screen should be white or so... then you run the ROM update thingy.

Hi..
I connected with the usb and got the bootloader screen.
tried running the SDA unlock program...the button to unlock the phone is grayed out. Cant click on it.
Next tried running uspl_116_jockyw.bat file
..cannot connect to phone and hence copy of haret.exe did not occur and neither did pmemtest run successfully...
What am I doing wrong??

ok..
first steps again..
battery out, back in.
connect USB
CAMERA button + Turn on.
now.. does windows do that USB sound? you know.. "tu du" ?

No sound....using win 2k Nt server edition...
but has detected my phone once on that USB and then allows me to talk to the phone using mtty....as in commands like ResetDevice work on the phone using mtty..
also, cannot get into bootlaoder mode with USB plugged in...

Steps and their results:
Disabled USB connections in activesync
Booted to the bootloader (red and green and Blue screen)
Connected the USB
"USB" displays on the left hand side corner
Now tried unlocking using Apllication unlock...grayed out button...
Tried running USPL bat but stops and says phone not connected when copying haret.exe
Using windows NT server 2003

if the SDA Application unlock button is grayed, of course the USPL won't work.
why "Disabled USB connections in activesync"?
And.. I doubt this is the problem but you should check on an winXP pc, I did it on XP.

No Luck!
Tried the same with USB enabled...same result

basically the thing we need to figure out is why your computer doesn't recognize the device.
the rest is obvious.
when I go to bootloader on my device windows pops up with a message says windows found device "and it's ready to use". like when you cannot every other USB item.
have you tried doing that on an XP system?

Going to do that now....lets hope it works....
Does ur activesync turn green when u connect at bootloader?
Also, I have removed my sim and memory card...thats okay right?

yeah, I removed both of them.
and no, activesync didn't turn green, but Windows recognized the device when I turned it on. turn on the speakers and wait for that winxp "USB connected" sound.

Still No Luck!
Tried doing the same on win xp...
no luck...
it connects to win xp ans says new device found...and ur USB device is now
ready to use...
after that i try application unlock it still gives me grayed out button....
ne suggestions???

Finally....
Finally got it done...
Thanks for all the help....
I managed to cold boot into the system for one time ans then SDA unlocked it and then ran UPSL .... it ran and then balnked out...
then i disconnected the usb before the ROM update utility and unchecked the USB option in active sync...
then i flashed it with the ARA rom...
Seems to be working okay now..will test for a day and see...
thanks a lot

I'm not sure this step was necessary but as long as it worked.. good times.
btw, how did you boot into the system?

kept trying hard reset and repeated booting...( it was booting 1 in 15 times type...)..and one lucky time it didnt hang..so used that window to slip in the SDA unlock and USPL..
thanks ...

you're welcome.

Problem with JumpSPL1.56-KAIS?

So, I used JumpSPL1.56-KAIS (because I was getting the white screen of death with HardSPL) prior to installing Dutty's WM6.1 and it worked great. Now, I'm trying to use it again to install a radio (1.58.26.20) and I get this error message on my Tilt:
"The file 'JumpSPL1.56-KAIS' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
I've tried to remove, redownload, retransfer, and reinstall the file, but keep getting the same error.
Has anyone had this problem and/or know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks...

You must hard reset your device and then try again.

OK, I did a hard reset and tried again. This time it worked, but stopped at 99%. I recovered the connection and tried again. It stopped at 0%. I recovered again, but couldn't get out of the loop to try something else, so I soft resetted.
Now, I have the tri-color screen with the following
RUUNBH
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.000
CPLD-8
From reading some posts, it sounds like I'm stuck in the ROM update mode and I need to use MTTY to get back to the last known good state, but I'm not sure how to set up MTTY. When I try to run it with the port set to USB and everything else at it's defaulted settings, I get "USB port can not open."
I'm trying to do everything right based on what I've read on these forums, but can't seem to get on the right path. Any help is much appreciated.

- Uncheck "Allow USB Connections" in Activesync.
- Connect with MTTY
- Enter "boot"
- In case it again ends up in bootloader enter "boot" again
- If it boots in windows mobile flash "HardSPL" and nothing else !! (after running JumpSPL)
- If it doesn't boot in windows mobile, find the original rom and flash it (w/o JumpSPL)

How do I get MTTY to connect? It says "USB port can not open" when I try to connect. Do I need to change any of the default settings in MTTY?

Uncheck "allow usb connections" in activesync (if that is what you use ..). Then put the phone in bootloader mode (tri-color display) and connect usb cable. Then start MTTY and enter boot.

Don't for get jock, you also need to select the RTS/CTS connection type!!
If you would like some one to walk you thru it, PM me. I can help thru MSN IM with file share. I've gotten good at this lately.
Thanks in a big way to Jocky of coure

jockyw2001,
Thank you so much for your patience. I am on a Windows Vista PC with Windows Mobile Device Center and have unchecked the "Allow USB Connections."
I think that a screen shot of how MTTY 1.42 pops up on my screen would help to explain my lack of knowledge with setting this program up correctly.
The Port dropdown has no USB selection available (only Com 1,2,3 & 7). How can I get MTTY to connect through USB?
Thank you

Sorry, I'm staying far from Windows Vista.
This guide will explain how to change your drivers to the xp.

HTC bricked? No HardSPL, no flash-hardSPL

Dear all,
got a problem with flashing my TyTN II which might? be related to the
"brand new" version?
here is what happened so far:
we bought several German TyTN II pro and
some of them need to be convert to english rom
Version:
Radio: 1.27.12.32
HardSPL did not install (White Screen) so I went for JumpSPL. Software installed with no problem, "USB" appeared on screen, unplugged and replugged the cable
The TyTN Display is three-colored,
USB connected direct to PC,
AvtiveSync stopped
starting flash-hardSPL\KaiserCustomRUU.exe
starts up,
some "caution" messages read and understood,
TyTN connected,
battery charged,
Software says:
"Verifying the information on your PDA Phone... please wait..."
"Current information about your PDA Phone:
Image Version: [* this part is empty *]
Select from below:

KLICK on Update:

klick 'Next' to proceed
*Warning message*
KLICK on Next:

PC says: ERROR [262]: Update error, The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. The program will guide you step-by-step to recover from the errors .....
After recover, I once again end up with my three-colored-screen

I am able to connect via mtty.exe,

Having read most of the threads here i continued using mtty with
Cmd> boot
Command error!!!
Cmd> task 8
The pda boots again to my beloved three-colored-screen
Any escape from this? Or am I damned stupid ....
Cheers,

The

Try once more the boot command in MTTY and, if it again enters bootloader, once more. Usually it must be done two times.

no way, as "boot" only says "Command error" a million times ...

Exactly the same thing happened to me Everyone here shouts about flashing HardSPL first (and then it's "impossible to brick your phone"). Unfortunately, people rarely mention that the phone can be bricked whilst trying to flash HardSPL!
With mine, I did initially receive an error when using the 'boot' command, however when I did the following, it worked:
- uncheck 'allow usb connections' in activesync
- get the phone into the tri-color screen and plug the usb cable in
- start mtty, select usb
- issue the 'boot' command (without ANY other commands being issued before it)
Does the tri-color screen say RUUNBH in the top corner? Apparently, some have recovered their phones by flashing a ROM from their original vendor (e.g. if you got yours from HTC, try the base HTC ROM). This never worked for me, I just got the 'stuck at 0%, then error 262' behaviour you describe above.

still stuck... what i did:
- use mtty to issue the boot command : Command error
- use different Shipped ROM Images : wrong version whilst updating

anyone got a german 1.56.407.3, radio 1.27.12.32 shipping version?
- try to install rom image using SD: stuck with blank screen and "Loading...." comment
So I am running out of ideas. If I got everything right, the ONLY chance
to re-animate it is to get the one and only original rom setup version?

It's very unfortunate your SPL doesn't support the "boot" command
Find a rom with CID = HTC__102 and ModelID = KAIS13000
You can find these values with a hexeditor in the RUUsigned.nbh (extract it from an original rom update)
You can rename RUUsigned.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh and put it on SD card. Just enter the bootloader and flashing will start. But it also checks if CID and ModelID match with your device.

Thanks alot, but:
Error [262]: Update Error
and its a KaiserCustomRUU which I thought only works o.k. if
HardSPL was applied correctly ?

I´ve got a second, working, perfect TyTN with the matching rom image. any chance to read out the ROM and use that one to boot?
I followed the thread about ROM extraction, but it says I need HardSPL to unlock, otherwise it will not be able to update ?

Same problem!!!!

Same problem here with my brand new TyTN II... Please help! i got it just one day

I am looking for an answer too. It seems that from 1.82.00.00, there is another layer of protection against JumpSpl. My experience is you need the original Rom to flash back, which works for me. Although you do not have the rom you desire but at least you unbrick you phone.

Kaiser Flah SSPL 16% and it stops!!!

I tried it also to flash to another rom. But at 16% it stops and i dont now why but i cant repair the rom. When i reboot the kaiser phone he comes directly in bootloader mode.
The do nothing anymore, i tried to flash from sd or mtty. Nothing works.
By mtty, i get the error that the command boot is a false command.
So i think my phone is really ****t up. this is really the firt time in 3 years my phone stops and i cant find solutions on XDA.
I can found only this tread with :
For those of you had the phone stuck in bootloader mode after flash with SSPL stopping at 16%, follow these instructions to unbrick your phone:
1. Download mtty.exe
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
3. Connect your Kaiser to PC using USB cable.
4. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
5. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
6. Type the command "boot", you should see something like this:
Code:
Cmd> boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
No card inserted
OSSIReadBack ++
Read SI data from flash success
tail signature match
Checksum match
UserStorageSIPreload ++After that device should boot WM6 again, you can now re-enable USB connections in activesync and flash HardSPL
But it won't work.
I hope somebody can help me a litlle.
Greeting Thetmar.

are you trying to flash a rom using sspl-kais.exe?? and then it got stuck at 16%??

Why you dont use hard spl??
have you read the wiki first before flashing your device??
carefull with mtty...can brick your phone forever
cheers

I'v used mtty ande the command set 16 0.
And my phone is working again perfectly, only i can't get another rom on it!! I't stuck on 0% with all the spl versions. And the computer says 260 communication error.
I think i go back to the shop and ask for another phone.
My buddy has no problem to flash it. And i had the same phone and have bseveral problems.
Many many downloads and software on this site but i think i tryed almost everything.
Already thanks for saving my phone

error 260 is an open port error, you can try changing usb ports, rebooting your pc, turning off firewalls/antivirus
and you still did not answer me, are you using sspl to flash your phone??? i seriously doubt there is anything wrong with the phone.

HELP Uni not booting up

Help please. I upgraded my Uni to one of TML's upgrades. When i reset it, screen comes up with radio version, software version, etc. but thats it. nothing happens. I have reset it several times, even taken battery out for a day and reset it again but no luck. I have also installed a new ROM but still the same. Computer still recognises the device in bootloader mode. Please help

Format the DOC with Mtty then reflash the rom

first of all, you need to be running windows Xp
then on activesync disable "allow usb connections"
plug your uni in bootloader mode into your computer, and if it is recognized open mtty and select from the top corner USB
then type in "set 14 0"
enter
type in "task 28 55aa"
and wait.
after that open activesynce and "allow usb connection"
and flash a rom into the universal

OOPs i got the link now. trying...
