Hello everybody!!!
I need help with my Himalaya... Tried to upgrade it to WM5, successful for a while but after a soft reset, it wont boot up properly. It stays stuck on the Windows Mobile boot screen, with both the bluetooth and power/signal light turning on/off alternately. Hard resetting it does not help, the same symptoms are still happening. I had to reinstall the WM5 ROM several times but the same problem now occurs everytime I have to soft reset the unit. I had to downgrade to wm2003, ROM 1.72.00WWE, Radio v1.17.00, extROM v1.72.181.
Can anybody help me on this? Thanks!
how is it possible to update from wm2003 to wm2005?

After upgrade, ensure you clear registry and format the storage. You may try to redo this by following the instructions in the last part of the installation document, as pasted below:
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

Also be aware that many backup software can corrupt an installation after recovery, even those that have a "Upgrade or Migration" feature. It is best to use PPCBckpContacts to restore your contacts and to use SMS BackupSoftware for your sms's, both can be found on this forum and both use standard databases instead of proprietary formats that could corrupt the WM5 databases.
on topic: i will have to bookmark this page in case i get the same problem when i upgrade

Please please can someone help,
I am very new to this and need someone to help guide me through this.
I have a HTC Touch pro and want to wipe it clean so when i turn it on there isn't the orange start up image......???
I have tried factory reset and tried the thread (Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs)) and it didn't help. When i turn on my device it will comes up this the orange image.
Please can someone help me
Keep up the good work everyone
Many thanks Jason
So basically you want to change the splash screen from the default Orange one to a new one?
Some rom's (like ROMeOS ones) include a new splash screen so flashing one of these custom rom's will wipe the phone completely, getting rid of all the data on it and replacing it with new software. I'm sure you can find a pretty clean one with just basic windows mobile if you try.
Otherwise if you want all the software that's on it and just want to change the splash screen there are basically rom files with nothing in them except the new splash screen (i think). You'll have to search the forums to find one that you like etc.
Just make sure you've read everything about flashing the phone before you do it. You'll want the Olipro bootloader first etc.

Thanks iammaz, i have flashed my phone using Raphael Rom (For Noobs) and it's till on there i don't know what you mean by looking for ROMs as i don't know how to put different ROM's on my phone,
Sorry if this sounds such a basic request but i've never done this before
Ideally i want to restore the phone to what it would be if you bought it SimFree from HTC, so no 3rd party software or plugins,
Thanks for your help
Hello guys...
Iam not new, and i have already flashed my first(it was wasted not by my fault)KAISER, it was one year ago and i did it with HARDSLPv1, and lately added some new roms cooked by sakajati(respect)...
Yesterday i bought new one(but one year old) so i tried to flash him as well, i have used HARDSPL 1.93, and then i tried to put Sakajati"s 4th feb ROM, but i come across one big trouble, everytime i try to put it on i encounter the same RUU error:
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
what to do...????
i am very afraid that i destroyed my Kaiser...???
what it means that Wince is destroyed...
Please help me, i am desperate...
Iam not new,

But the solution could be found here (search)
If you see the tri color screen everythng is ok, just win mobile is destroyed. Try to flash a rom from your sd card
Thank you very much...
I hope it will work, i really did search for about an hour and tried to put rom on sevral times, but i didnt find nothing 100% secure, i dont want to indanger the unit any more that i did...
thanks again, i will try it tommorow morning at my job, thats where my SD card is...

Part of the problem is that 1.93 is a jump spl and should be used to upgrade to Hard spl 3.29 or 3.56, not as an spl on its own. You need to run jump spl 1.93 from your device and make sure you are connected to your computer, when you see the bootloader you need to unplug your USB, count to 10 and plug your USB back in then flash a hard spl to your phone! Again 1.93 is not a Hard Spl by itself, it is only a middle man to flash a Hard Spl.
I think the best would be to flash a stock rom at first, cause therefore you don't need an other bootloader. Then flash Hardspl (3.29 if you have a kaiser or 3.56 if you have a tilt) and then flash any rom you want
i obviusly have a lot to learn, mate how do I asses if I have TILT or KAISER, what is the main difference...
[email protected]: i have already DL the stock rom before i posted the tread, i hoped on that resolution if there were no answer...
in about 10 hours from now i will get my hands on my tilt/kaiser and hope to arranged the mess i done; I drop by in any case at that time and notify you about condition and my successes...
p.s.:sorry for my poor english...

It realy doesnt make that much of a difference, I have a tilt and I use 3.29 and I would recomend it to anyone over 3.56 so flash either one, they will both work! And your english is great so no need to say sorry!

A Tilt is a At$T branded Kaiser, a TyNT II is a HTC branded Kaiser. Tilt has a different keyboard and OEM rom., only differences. People say use 3.56 if you have a Tilt because that is an AT$T Spl, but I use 3.29 on My Tilt and it works great so it doesn't really matter.
hey...
nothing seems to work...
I have tried to put default rom dl from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs but the problem is that it is not bootable from SD, that has to be because the USB conection isnt on (i selected the 3.34.721.2) so i given up that way
Then i flashed the HARD spl 3.29(have kaiser) via SD steb by step first with this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835; and it dint go through
so i tried with this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683
it didnt work either, they are the same I know(noticed later);
So problem is that i stuck at WHITE screen that says "LOADING..."
nothig else...???
finally i manage to load/boot the htc rom from xda-wiki site, but i have to chose another one

Hey man, nice to see that your device rewakes, you can flash every rom from sd card, simply rename the nbh file to kaisimg.nbh than restart into bootloader and it will automatically take the one from the card
Unfortanly, althought i would like you to be right, you are not. When i tried to do it via SD, i stuck at white screen saying LOADING...(blue) and nothih further... and i tried also the Cmonex_s Hard SPL3.29_SD which also stucks at same screen
So now (after updatig with default rom) that i have basicly normal working device i startet from the top. Using @mskip"[email protected] tutorial called: Flasing your first rom (for noobs); it all goes well, till i start to update RUU(sakajati 4 feb) if it matters, and i tried both (spls 1.56 and 1.93), it stops updatig at 17% and notrhin else then works just puting back the HTC default rom from wikiXDA side(thank god for that)
i am thinking of MTTY, although i dont know what it does guys here almoste all say it fix bad rom flash, but i am not sure if thats my main problem, i rahter think it has something with spls...
if someone has some good advice i will be very grateful...

Hi,
I couldn´t flash my Kaiser via SD at the first time and tried something that worked.
The SD´s are formatted in Fat16 usually, try to format to Fat32... It seems like a stupid thing, but worked for me.
Reagards and good luck.
SD must be formated FAT32, to work, also I sugest a smal card, 512 or something like that, SHDC usual doesn't work
I have 1GB SD and its not shdc, so thats ok.and i have done it right now, like you two guys said so i formated it with FAT32 but still no succes.
I guess that this tree lines in red/green/blue screen arent right:
KAIS130
SPL-3.02.0000
CPLD-8
i thing this SPL has to da something to do with all this mess a have done
I have flashed a couple of roms( i had three devices) and i flashed a few for my friends and all was OK till now, and i dont know what else to do...

Yes, you still have a stock spl on there. It needs to be hard spl'd before you flash anymore. Check out the stickies at the top of the forum.
hi again...
Well, I respect the "rules" of forum, thats why i wouldnt ask for insructions that are already written(thanks for the authors) with that i mean stickys, because i read them, almost all...
But I still tried once again, and I came across the same thing, i stuck at 17% when loading RUU or if i choose the VIA SD i stuck at white screen with blue text saying (LOADING...)...
nothing else helps than loading the dafault ROM by HTC... as i already said once again...
if i manage to solve the problem i will be in touch; what do you thing about MTTY
Edit 1:
i have done everything as it says in the instruction, and just like some of you "replyed" me...
but i always stuck at 17%when loading RUU, when i flash it with SPL 1.56 or 1.93 i never get stuck at white screen it always apeare the mentioned SPLs nimbers and some other text in yellow but when i then load RUUs i stuck at excatly 17% nothing less nothing more
edit 2:

i know it may sound weird but the clock on my imate jama has stopped working and since it got stuck, i cannot use the power button to turn the device on. However the power button does work while the device is turned on and i can turn it off as well. I have tried soft and hard reset. Please help me out this problem since its warranty expired last month. Does it have like a backup battery cell that needs to be replaced? or is it like a software problem...BTW im running windows mobile 6 on it which i got upgraded from the vendor while it was in warranty...................
Please help...
Wierd, is the clock stuck on a certain time? Are you sure your hard reset was sucussful?
If it definately did a hard reset, i would recomend flashing a cooked rom, or flashing an official wm6 rom.
Use the wiki or relevant forum to see what suits you best.
thanks for replying...yes the clock is stuck at whatever time i either manually change or the time of the last sync with the pc...I dont have any experience with flashing roms but i have found one rom, i guess the only one there is on the net for this device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-393307.html). i couldn't find wiki for imata jama. please help me find the wiki and let me know if there is another rom for this device that i can flash it with aswell...
if i flash the wm6 rom on my jama would it flash since i already have wm6 installed? and i also found a wm6.5 rom.. it has some issues and incase i wana go back to wm6 would it be possible as well? please help me out with this...........
hey the 6.5 rom was here as u probably know ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492981&page=3 but seems buggy as you say. You'll have to look on imate website to see if you can download original wm6.0 for your phone as i cant see it on here.
I dont know if you can flash magician roms to ur fone, they are similar hardware and lots of threads asking about jama end up in magician? i dont know....
id stick with 6.0 if you cant find anything else.
Thanks so much marsh for ur help... imate has the worst customer support ive come across therefore i'm planning to switch to htc.. i have done some extensive research and found that the 6.5 rom on that chinese site is being constantly updated with new versions coming out every now and then..and the good news is that im downloading a stable version of WM6.1 for me imate as i type.. I will post it at here at xda after i successfully flash it...
fingers crossed
Well the 6.1 rom turned out to be in chinese so i had no choice but to flash the Wm 6.5..It looks very good but none of the buttons work and i cant view messages or send them. Also it does not connect to the pc using using active sync but shows that some storage device has been connected to pc and no proper drivers found for it. One good thing happended though, i came to know what the problem with the clock could be...Wm 6.5 showed on startup that my back up battery is very low and that i need to replace it..I'll get it replaced from the service center now....But im looking for a WM 6.1 english rom.... Can any body help me find it please?
Hi all, my daughter has a HTC HD2 which i used to own and had previously rooted and was running android fine. She dropped it about 3 weeks ago and put a small crack in the top of the screen but the phone still worked fine. Last week she was using it when it froze. She took the battery out and now it wont boot. I can get it to the bootkoader screen (the 3 colours) and at the top it says that it has hspl 2.08 on but when i connect it to the pc and tried to re-install magldr it either sits there for 10 mins and then says communication error or goes across to 4% and does the same. It must be reading the phone because if i try to re-install hspl it knows what version is on the phone but wont let me change it. Is it bricked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i fear the worst. although i am not a full experienced hacker, i fear your fone is bricked

btw did u run rom update utility when installing MAGLDR. and NOT the DAF.exe??
SO SORRY!
Hey there,
I am so sorry i did not read the post carefully. It might not be bricked yet. If u can get it to the 3 colour screen there is still hope. U can install the winmo 6.5 back. Then try installing MAGLDR again. if u dont know how to install winmo 6.5. tell me. ill guide u
Give me a thanks if you found this post helpful
