First off I'd like to apologize for what must seem like a duplication of a thousand other "stuck in boot loader" threads, but I've got what appears to be a fairly unique situation here and none of the fixes I've found searching the forum have worked for me.
Yesterday I flashed Dutty's WM6.1 ROM using JumpSPL, everything went fine. Today I went to install one of Niki's radios using JumpSPL again, but it got stuck at 99%. I went through the recovery process (several times) and each time after that got stuck at 0%. I've tried soft and hard resets, every time it comes back to the tricolor boot loader. MTTY doesn't give me the USB port option, even if I disable any and all tasks related to Mobile Device Center. Stock AT&T ROM won't load, says "This update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone." I can't flash HardSPL, after I hit enter it doesn't do anything. I tried the Vista fix available on Modaco, but it's not compatible with 64-bit Vista so I'm SOL there too. I'm really at wits end here, could someone please point me in the right direction? I've read time and time again here that as long as you still get the tricolor screen your phone is not bricked, but I seem to be all out of options and nothing has helped.
The boot screen displays the following:
RUUNBH (Top right corner)
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
Please, any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
I don't believe JumpSPL is intended for radio flashing. Flash HardSPL and reflash with a shipped AT&T ROM.
I can't flash HardSPL for some reason, when I press enter in the prompt it brings up nothing happens.
Good job there slick! Did you purposefully ignore all the posts about safely flashing your device?
If you don't mind a little berating & a ton of sarcasm, I may be compelled to take an interest in helping you to fix the device (or to see how badly you've f'd it up & if it can be salvaged at least). Anyway, find me on MSN IM if you want & I'll walk you thru the steps for diagnostics & if possible, recovery.
You'll have to promise not to rush into doing any more stupid things though.

Managed to get it straightened out, for some reason MTTY 1.42 wasn't working properly with my system but 1.16 did the trick- Rebooted through there and flashed HardSPL then loaded my ROM without a hitch. Thank you everyone for being so responsive and helpful!

Ahhh, one more staisfied customer! Glad I could help out srdjank. Just remember that you can't treat a Kaiser like it's a Wizard. Similar yes, but there are different processes for safely flashing.
So far I've seen that Flashing Radios with JumpSPL is a sure recipe for bad memory blocks. Always, ALWAYS, HardSPL!
i also had the same problem when i tried to sim unlock my mda vario iii in progress screen the progress stuck at 95%. i would appreciate any help to recover the phone. thanks in advance

I am a little confused. I have been trying to get WM6 on my T-mobile Wizard and actually got TNT 1.1 loaded and was working fine. I found that I could no longer view my contacts. The page would appear and then as quickly as it appeared it disappeared.
So I figured, I at least got it this far. I will just reload this rom and see if perhaps something did load right. Well after the reload. The phone boots up to the splash screen with IPL\SPL numbers and just sits. NOTHING.
I left it there for like 2 hours and still nothing. But I can still get into the BootLoader.
My questions to you gurus is:
Is the phone fubared?
Can I do some kind of master reset?
Why would it tell me "Invalid Vendor ID" when trying to flash the orginal T-mobile rom?
Are there any tools that can help me out? Paid\free?
Please help!!! Seriously! Please HELP!!!
Very much appreciated.
Thanks

if your device is G3, unlocking is required to flash any rom, before upgrade your device, it is recommended to flash an official WM5.0 rom (in your case T-Mobile rom) with IPL and SPL 2.xx then flash again.
in general there are many probabilities for your issue.
((Where is TNT1.1?? did you mean 1.0?? ))
My Bad meant 1.0
So to get it straight.... I will need to unlock my phone each time?
Oh and to correct myself again, when flashing with the T-mobile ROM it says UPGRADE ONLY. And the read me file says its the wrong RUU. But it is the same file from Tmobile I used when I first got the phone. But I will try again.
Are there any other suggestions?
You need to read the "how to flash" sticky.
I did. I am not any expert or anything but I believe the phone is unlocked already since I once had WM6 on my phone. The real issue I am having is that it wont boot past the splash screen after flashing.
And that is true when re following the steps in guide. After flashing to the button rom it will not boot past the splash screen.
Try another ROM.
Sounds like you need the "Wizard Love" rom. I dont have the link handy but I am sure someone else does.

Already got it. Thanks I am trying to load it now. But the only thing is that the last time it failed and I can understand what the error says. I know the number is 300 but can read the language.
But I will let you guys know when this load completes.
Thanks again for all the assistance.
No worky worky. The load completed and then boots the splash screen shows and then stays there.
Any ideas?
Try to remove the battery and let it out for at least half an hour. Then put it back in and see what it does then.
I thought the same thing too. So when it got done last night, out of frustration, I removed the battery and left it there to wait on when I get off work today. I will report back on what happens.
Again I would like to thank you guys for helping me. I really do appreciate it!
STEP 1 install the original manufacturer ROM
T-mobile UK
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
T-mobile US
http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
Search for the original rom for any other
instructions on how to use the original rom can be found here
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm23294.htm?&A2L.SERVICE=AboutUpgrading
Put it in the bootloader mode.. ( three color screens )
hope this helps..
cheers
Praneet
Ok I did that and it gave me ERROR 296: UPGRADE ONLY
Then it tells me that the NBF file cannot be used for my PDA Phone. Please get newer NBF file.
Is there any way I can get the Tmobile splash and IPL\SPL number back to original, it doesnt need to boot all the way into WCE but atleast show the same numbers and splash during boot up?
Or any other way to get this thing to work?
Thanks guys
BTW it is a HTC Wizard from T-mobile.
If you are getting an error 300 you need a newer rom update utility, and regardless if your phone is a G3 or G4 it needs to be unlocked before you flash any rom.. LOAD a OFFICIAL cingular ROM onto your device before going any further, then unlock your phone either via www.imei-check.com or through some of the tools offered here...
Which one should I down load from Cingular? Even though I have a Tmobile phone?
what ipl and spl are you using and what radio are you using. Just post all the numbers from the bootloader
As soon as I get home, I will post them.
Thanks
Ipl 1.01
Spl 3.08
Thanks

flash the original t-mobile rom. your phone doesn't appear to be unlocked. good luck
Hi,
Was changing the ROM on my Kaiser, using JUMPspl as I had got the white screen using Hardspl. During the upgrade got an error at about 18%, went through the recovery procedure only to get back to the Bootloader screen with the screen saying
SPL-1.93.0000
I think it should say something different here!
At the moment can only get the the tri-colour bootloader screen with usb at the bottom.
Please any help would be much appreaciated.
Thanks
If you are at the tri-color bootloader screen, reflash a ROM.
that's where the process starts at anyhow,the bootscreen.
But doesn't the SPL have to be either Hardspl or jumpSPL.
I have tried to do the rom update again but sticks on 0% and gives error 262

Not advisable if he has the default SPL still though which by the number appearing at the tri col screen it appears to be the case.
Try doing a hard reset and see if it boots into the original ROM then at least you will find out if it is bricked or not, however, i'm not sure it will work based on the fact you got part way through in the first place.
Hold down the keys directly next to the Send and End (green and Red) Hold in the stylus and keep them all held untill you get a screen telling you to press the green (send) key.
Tried the hard reset, takes me back into the bootloader. Any other ideas?
Hmm... ok then.... you are pretty much looking at a very expensive paperweight at this moment in time then.
Look at this thread...it "may" (i'm not promising anything but it may point you in the right direction) help you out. Let us know how it goes.

Hate to joint the parade, but the exact same thing happened here - 18% now stuck at 1.93.0000
For anyone else reading this BEFORE flashing a new ROM please read, read and read again EVERYTHING related to flashing on this site, wikis and wherever else you can get info.
Another idea for you. Search around here for how to flash from an SD card that may solve the issue out for you. As previously noted though....READ READ READ and be 110% certain you understand what you are doing before you do anything.

details some info for a Wizard, should it be the same for a Kaiser?
Will Mtty get me any further?
MTTY will at least give you a USB connection to the device it is worth a shot given your current situation.
There is hope!
I did a clean reboot of my PC and disabled my antivirus (avast) and was able to sucessfully reflash the new 1.62 rom (released from ATT site today).
Thanks will try the new 1.62 rom.
What commands can you use with MTTY?
tried the At&t rom gives me an error on the vendor id. Will try a HTC rom
I have tried multiple roms and they all give me the same error Error 294:Invalid Vender ID
Any ideas
Am starting to get worried because if the misses finds out that I have bricked the new phone, I am up to my neck i it.
If you are stuck in boot loader & would like some help via MSN Messenger, please PM me or look for me on MSM messenger at [email protected]. I will be available to help later this evening or tomorrow morning.

Invalid Vendor I.D. is cuz it's locked.
Had the exact issue myself and found a ATT ROM that will boot. It saved me bigtime, so I saved it. It's in one of the posts on one of the threads but I have the actual ROM, it'll overide that lock.- PM me if ya need it.
Got the same solution, Holy S**t about to have a heart attack. Tried nearly ever ROM out there, it was the Asia one that got me going.
Lesson learned: make sure you Hardspl after jumpspl.
Thanks for all the help folks
Glad ya got it fixed. One quick question?
Is your original ROM ATT or HTC ?
It is a HTC ROM. Done My Hardspl and got Sleuth v3.0 on it already
Happy days
Hello,
I've tried flashing my Kaizer by all different ways I could, but no way to make it work. I've downloaded a lot of different ROMs (Alex, Dutty, VIET, etc), but I always get stuck in the same point. Either in Vista or XP, RUU always stops with ERROR [262] and the phone after the three-color screen, get in blank with a bar in 0% and gets stuck.
So, I've tried flashing via microSD. No better luck on that; even using different SDs, I always get stuck in a Loading... message in the phone, and nothing happens.
I've read a lot of forums and done all suggestions such as not using Anti-Virus, Firewall, etc and formatting SD as FAT32.
One interesting thing is ActiveSync (and WMDC in Vista) simple "dies" after the phone goes to the Three-color screen so it sounds the "new hardware found" sound but no new hardware seems to become available. I always can soft reset it and my old ROM (and configs) come back, so nothing seems to be done to phone's ROM.
This Kaizer was bought in the US (Amazon.com), unlocked, in Feb/08. I had some rare Freezing Problems on it (freezes while idle).
Today's config:
WM 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM 1.82.721.0 WWE
Radio 1.27.15.32
Thank you in advance for any ideas on flashing this phone.
Regards. RB.
I'm assuming you've RTFM'd, but nowhere do you mention that you have installed Hard-SPL.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
Done?
You should probably do more research and reading. Start with the Wiki and specially HardSPL search for it. The answers are in here you just need to search. Welcome to the forum and this is not a spoon fed forum but rather put your time in the research before you brick your phone. HOPE YOU WON'T GET FLAMED....
What about HardSPL?
Thank you for fast replies.
I've also tried HARDspl, my efforts went there when nothing worked. I could make HARDspl run some code in my phone (had to hit "Continue" on phone's screen), but I got a freeze blank screen instead of the Three-color/USB screen.
So, I've forced the Three-color screen by reseting the phone (and got the USB sign), but the HARDspl's updater got, again into ERROR [262]. Ok, I didn't believe this was goig to work anyway, but tried it (considered safe to try).
I have tried HARDspl from a Vista PC, I'll try again from a XP box. I'll also read more on HARDspl.
So, as you can seen not even HARDspl seems to be workimg in my case...
Thanks. Regards. RB.
sigh.......why do i even bother.........
HardSPL will not install - WHITE SCREEN: SOLVED
try to guess where i found that link

Do a search for HardSPL white screen. There's a thread in this very forum about it freezing on a white screen.
I think I remember some issues with it on Vista, but I don't have Vista, so I don't pay attention.
You must HardSPL first. Search for HardSPL and whatever issue you're having, and I bet you can find a resolution and have it unlocked inside of ten minutes.
Xtreme_G took the time to search and post a link, and still managed to beat me to it. Bastard.
i guess you need a heavy paper weight so keep flashing without installing hardspl or without reading and searching ...

Kaiser dead when installing official ROM 6.1. It has been hung at 15% after having put the Jump SPLv1 because it's Vodafone. Now in Boot lights and not leaving there putting:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
I try to install the ROM again and gives me the error of ID Provider.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be nice ...
Read this link:

You need to review the info in there to understand the process of flashing. Simple answer - Jump SPL is only use to put a HardSPL on your device.
Three Words my friend.
"Wrong SPL Version"
Now go and read the above link and the Kaiser FAQ WIKI and GWENI. Before you make your phone a big expensive paper weight..,.. If you haven't already.
Thank you for your help, and got me out of the tricolour and has restarted its old ROM with Vodafone. The question now is to switch back to mind the new ROM official HTC and I was back to being 15% and hung again. Any solution? I have already cooled files, etc.. Not because it does at 15% as did the first time that I feel that I had hung the computer or something.
Thank you for everything!
Did you install HardSPL?
If you don't have a "modified" version of SPL your phone will only accept ROMs from Vodafone.

Then install Hard spl
Then flash new rom
Thank you so much for your help, finally I've succeeded and I could install the new ROM HTC. I was beginning to worry, jeje. A hug and muchisimas gracias.
Ok, I'm kind of at my wits end. I've already bricked a Sprint Snap, and I'm trying to get HARD to display on my tri-color instead of 0000 before I try ookba's rom again.
But I can't. I've done everything correct. SDA application unlocker - auto.bat from the JockyW thread, JumpSPL and boot Rom Update Utility. Every time it goes to a 100%, but once I reboot and then hold volume down I still get
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B.
No luck. I've tried hard resetting my phone with brand new factory settings (my old 6.1 was heavily modded). I've tried XP and Vista. No luck. When I confirm jumpSPL my screen goes black. Then I run RomUpdateUtility while the screen is black. Is that right? Please advise me, I'd love to have 6.5 on my snap.
Please use the correct version of Hard SPL, suitable for your phone!(S 511). Above all use Jump SPL (depending on your SPL version) and follow the prompts in the DOS window. Just press space bar. On your phone, screen will turn black this is NORMAL!Then free to interact in any way with the phone and without disconnecting the phone from the PC will need to run Hard SPL.Again attention, according to your platform (S511).After all this if all is well you should install the favorite ROM .
Good Luck!!!
i have followed these steps
I have started the romupdateutility with the black screen and it completes to a 100 percent. however my tricolor splash screen doesn't change.
Strange ...Something is wrong there.Try on another PC, make sure Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center is working properly.But most importantly try another JumpSPL and HardSPL, those you have now may have errors or can be corrupt file.Had happened to me with my old Diamond.
what is supposed to happen?
The .0000 should say .HARD if the flash was successful right? If a phone is HARDSPL then it won't change after a hard reset right? I really can't get this to work... is there a newer jumpspl I should try? Everytime RomUpdateUtility completes with the black screen my phone reboots and nothing has changed
DAMN
I just bricked my second snap by trying a different version of JumpSPL, really really upsetting. I can't believe I did that again, all I wanted was my device to be HardSPL and now its a paperweight. UGHHHH no phone certainly isn't better than stock 6.1... I'm probably done trying to 6.5 this damn thing. I'm going to replace it and never mess with it again. Thank you for trying to help.
Sorry man, really sorry. And I agree with you, 6.5 is nothing better than 6.1 and I think so.I have 6.5 and do not see an obvious improvement or an addition to performance.Perhaps a higher consumption of resources.I think it depends on preference.In your case maybe not everything is lost.Read this very very very carefully: "Flashing and Unbricking your Maple" by Ookba.Even if they refer to Maple, can help you.Good luck!
yay!
After getting a new s511, I attempted this for the third time
Well, It worked like magic. .Hard is now visible on my tri-color screen. SO!
Now I can flash the ROM? Do I just turn my phone on to its homescreen and plug it in to run RomUpdateUtility? Any other precautions I should take?
@Johny, thanks so much man for all of your help i appreciate it.
Yes, theoretically should work without problems now.Turn on the phone then start running RomUpdateUtility. If Hard is visible, you are insured in case of failure to update the ROM. In my case...I did not succeed the first time this.Even if I did HardSPL, I could not install 6.5, an error occurs...All they have resolved JumpSPL.If you have problems post here. Good luck!

MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v 58B
i tried putting the s511 Sprint ROM but says at upgrade communication error.
