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?

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.

wizard g3 stuck in bootloader screen

hello everyone. i just bought a g3 wich remains stuck in the ipl/spl screen. i tried VIPPIE 's tutorial (many thanks man for ur work) and flash button rom 1.05 to revive the phone. it flashed without any error , but same result. phone doesnt pass the ipl/spl screen. next i tried to flash Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102, flashed ok but nothing happend. i m just stuck on the ipl/spl screen. the phone isnt bricked but i can not start it to do a soft spl and flash it. any ideas ?
because it s an o2 xda mini s , i thought an original o2 rom would do the trick (start the phone) but i couldnt find an original rom (tried the xda dev ftp page and the o2 one).
many thanks

hehh
same happend to me once. Go online and finde botton run , update utility 2.00.1
go step by step:
Disconnect your phone from the usb cable,disable any Firewall and Anti virus and reboot your Pc.
1. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC and remove the dummy card or SD/MMC card
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Don’t Bluetooth for the Upgrade)
4. When you see usb appear at the bottom of bootloader screen
5. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.
After then, install origial ROM. (u can try T-Mobile MDA Software Version (2.26.10.2) )
Let me know if it's working

help in changing rom after duttys v4rtm

I have flashed dutty's v4 rom and i want to change it
the problem is that when i try to do so i run
KaiserCustomRUU
my device goes into the 4 stripes screen it says usb
but then the program in the pc says error 260 and doesn't load the new rom
my phone still works as dutty's rom is still in but what can i do to change it?
Thank you and i have searched a lot but could not find a solution

OK lets start at the basics...... In bootloader mode (tricolour screen) what text does it say at top of the screen?
Have you DEFINITELY Sim Unlocked and CID unlocked?

it says these things
kais130 mfg
spl-10.0.Olipof
cpld-8

Ok that confirms you have the capability to flash. I have seen in the past some people have managed to flash one time only using jumpspl but then their device reverts back to original bootloader...I was one of those people
Next question then...Can you boot the phone normally and gain an activsync connection to it?

yes
i can use my phone normally
only i cannot put a new image in

Are you using Xp or vista? If using vista it may be worth trying a reboot... sometimes it goes doolally with its usb ports. If you cannot see the phone through WMDC or activsync after a reboot it is worth going to SYSTEM (on your PC) viewing non present devices through device manager,( Drop to Command prompt and type... Devmgmt.msc set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 ) removing the relevant phone connection and then re attaching it so that windows re detects it.
If you can get a connection via actvisync (win XP) or WMDC (vista) to your phone then all should be ok. Uncheck the activesync/ WMDC "allow USB connections" and try again.
If this still doesn't work then search around here for MTTY. That will allow you to specify the usb connection to the device...amongst other things.

thank you for your time
i have win xp and activesync works nice
the problem is when bootloader starts

When you attempt flashing, do you do it from the device already booted into windows mobile or direct from bootloader?
Which ever way you have tried it, try ther other way.
Not teaching you to suck eggs but just in case you dont know.... To get direct to bootloader hold camera button and soft reset with stylus whilst holding camera button down and the tri colour screen should appear.
With device at the bootloader screen, Can you confirm that you hear the windows "noise" when you unplug and re plug the USB cable just as you would when plugging and unplugging the device normally. This will determine if the device has connection at the bootlaoder stage.

why not just flash using the microsd card. its much easier that way

yes it has connection
the thing is that i have already flashed as i told before with dutty's v4
now i can't

Usually Error 260's are related to the USB port functionality ( Port can't be opened etc).
The SD card method or MTTY should sort you out.

thx again
hope it works

at least the sd trick worked!!!!
now running on winmob 6.1

Glad to hear you sorted it.

almost
i cannot use my sd card cause i have to have it formated in order to put a new rom in

disable USB connections in ActiveSync and flash.

This Link gives a list of eror codes for Hermes, and probably the same for Kaiser.
It's likely that you have a USB port error - maybe try changing the USB port you use or a different sync cable - or just stick to SD card flashing in the future - I keep an old 1gig card for this.

this IS the problem...i cannot flash...
it stays in the bootloader with the message i wrote

Hi,
The answers you seek are in the WIKI.
Hold the backlight + power button whilst resetting the device. This will put you back into bootloader mode, you can then reflash the Rom.
I would also advise that you SuperCid your device before flashing any Roms, if you haven't done so already.
Again this is documented in the Wiki.

The problem is Vista!
Search the forum and you will find a post with a fix (old drivers) for Vista, or just use a Windows XP or previoous MS OS to flash your device.

I would suggest XP if you plan to keep flashing in the near future

Unable to connect with activesync after misread instructions on flashing

Hello guys!
I've got a bit of a problem here, because now my mobile refuses to connect with activesync and therefore making it impossible to flash it.
I read the readme in the cid bypass folder, and didn't quite understand it, but as keen as I was on getting a new rom I did it all wrong.
I actually copied the cid bypass folder to my sd-card and ran haret.exe from the phone. A friendly penguin appeared along with some green text, and it rebooted and went black. I waited for a while, but had no patience so I rebooted it again. But after this it has been impossible to connect it with activesync! I've tried hard reset and different computers but nothing works!
I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me!
best regards

Try this.
turn your phone off and press the camera button in then plug it into the USB port
you should get a multi color screen. If you do then you can flash.
But go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330909
Go to where it says EDIT and follow what it says.
Oh and when a dos box opens up and ask you things just press the return key each time.
good luck

hey man, I tried reflashing the original rom to my vox, with the manualstyle sd card flash. So now it's flashed with the original rom, but still activesync doesn't work! anybody have an idea on how to make this right?

somebody tried running haret.exe from their phone, then flashing the Uspl with ruu flasher and then flash the new cooked rom?
My phone is not able to connect for flashing while in black state (after running harET), is it stupid of me to reboot it and start it by holding camera button while plugging it in to the computer? and then flash it with the ruu?
somebody please help me?

go into settings then connections then more till you see USB to PC
in there un-tick the box which says enable advaned network.

I am confused..is it working or not? one post you say it is but you cant sink..then you say its not.????
and dont use the flash off the mem stick..use windows..

ok, sorry for making confusing posts! I'm just excited about getting it to work.
So here's the situation:
From stock phone used with exchange (turned off the exchange part before doing anything)
1. I ran haret.exe from my phone, and it rebooted into a "black state" after which I rebooted it again
2. I tried to connect it to my computer using activesync, to be able to flash, but it wouldn't connect. Activesync doesn't respond to my phone.
3. I flashed the shipped rom to my phone from my sd-card in good hope that it would reset the whole process, but it still won't connect to activesync.
So here's my problem; I want to flash a cooked rom to my phone, but I'm unable to connect it to my computer via activesync, what to do?

tried with both ticked and unticked, still nothing

Turn off your phone then keep the camera button pressed in at the same time plug it into the usb port
your should show diff colors on the screen..if so follow what it says in this link.

and do it from the pc not your mobile...

it's restored, but no activesync still

Is the cable you are using ok? or is it a new one you just got.
does windows see it when you plug it in? if so un-install active sync then reinstall it.

I'm having the same issue with Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM, activesync simply doesn't work ;/

Have you been into settings and un-ticked the box in USB to PC?
Also if you are trying to sync to office you must create a new partnership
google is your best friend.
I have no problems with sync in XP/Vista?windows 7 and office 2007
I am using FMs 1.1 WM 1.1

I failed to mention that I've tried the hard reset as well, no luck.
I thought about the same thing Deuse, but there's no mobile device registered, so I'm not able to delete it.

It seems that you have tried every possible method! Anyway, my suggestion is install activesync in some other PC (friend's) and connect your phone there. See if it registers the phone. If it does then it is problem with the PC and not with phone. In that case, connect phone to PC and open controlpanel>System (icon)>Hardware tab>Device Manager Button in your PC. Unfold Network adapters and see if your phone is detected properly or it is detected with an "!" mark in "Unknown/Other device". If so, delete the device and disconnect phone. Reboot PC, reboot phone connect again and let the PC reinstall your device and see if it recognises your phone.
One more way (I think you might have tried this)- Uninstall Activesync and reinstall and connect phone.
By the way if your phone is not recognised in some other PC then it seems trouble with the phone.
Thanks.

Looks like your cable is faulty. Try activesync connection through bluetooth (for testing, ofcourse you cant flash from bt ).
