Flash guide. - HTC Vox

In the following weeks I have seen a number of people that say:
"Whine whine whine... The update utility says the rom is corrupted... I have downloaded the file 27 times and it dosnt work..."
But really... Its okay... We have all been beginners...
Therefore…
I have written a guide that explain in details what you should do, why and how…

I have seen your guide, but it do not include those points that all the newcomers seem to forget.
Your guide is quite good, if you never have flashed at all before, but in my opinion I think that the normal flashing util explains it self... - And you dint mention uspl and cid etc. - I used your guide back then But was really scared because I didn't know enough...
I do feel that my guide takes It all from scratch (even though that the information is available other places)

Well it was never intended to be a guide for beginners. It was just for the flashing process itself!

When I first started flashing my phone with Dr. Gs excellent ROM's I never ecounterd any problems with flashing as I read the Readme files included in the Archive that I downloaded. If people took notice of the Readme files they would not whine and winge that the ROM is corrupt as the would be taking the correct steps to flash there phon.
People don't be to eager to flash your phone for the first time and Read the Readmes in the Archive and you will have trouble free flashing.

Jesterz Boot Splash Image

Ok Jesterz,
I love the latest ROM release. But I have to say, Having the Joker cheesing back at me everytime i Re-Boot my phone is shall we say, way to reminiscent of a bad Batman Movie. So before I break out in "...golly-gee wilickers Batman, the Jokers has taken control of my Bat-Phone..." I need your help in not just changing the splash to a generic HTC screen but, to something a bit more palatable.
Oh great yuck-Meister, I am your canvas...paint me.
please read his posts and his description before asking. most of the time he already thought of your problem. It's better to read his posts so you know the rom and the tools, instead of going to ftp directly and download them without any knowledge other than the file name.
anyway, like i said he already thought of the problem

That means I know how to put up the generic HTC. I want to customize a boot splash as well. I am familiar with the tools but I am asking for help from some one who knows a bit more than myself. Thank you for your input.
Hi Jesterz
Did you ever release b5 for the g4, just curious....

wow, i am soooo sorry. hahaa i was in a hurry to defend jesterz. because i am very grateful for his work on all these ROMs (and i'm sure you agree with me). and I feel he shouldn't be bothered with such simple questions he answered/posted before (and such simple question = my misunderstanding of yours, my apologies).
anyway, here's the link for your real question, and i hope i understood yours correctly this time.

sorry again

can you unlock phones with a 3.08 spl

i dont think u can so if there is a spl downgrade please tell me
How many posts are you going to start asking the same thing?

You've already been given instructions and links on how to downgrade ipl/spl. One person even provided a cab especially for you that should have downgraded your ipl/spl (and you say it only did the ipl..as I recall) Yes it can be done...many of us manage it every day. If you can't get it to work perhaps you need to take it to someone and pay them to do it..and perhaps next time don't be in such a rush to jump to the latest/greatest version.
WELL i need to no do u no or no anything that can lower my spl
Either 1) You've managed to damage your phone to such a extent that the NORMAL downgrade procedures will not work or 2) You can't follow instructions.
In either case, you need to take your phone to someone who repairs them and pay them to fix the issue.
Nno Its Not Broken
THEN FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS YOU WERE GIVEN.. effin n00b

Yes, and the instructions you SHOULD have followed are in the 6th and 8th post.
You are a perfect example of why the more experienced posters (I'm not claiming to be one of them) no longer want to answer questions on this board. You have been given the answer multiple times...you ignore it.and then you post multiple times asking the same thing.
Whatever rom you currently have installed...keep using it or buy a simpler phone that you can handle.

I just read this entire thread and agree with you entirely. I am by no means an expert and have no knowledge of G3 since I have a G4 but at least I can read and only ask questions when I really can't figure it out and then actually listen to whoever is helping me. I like helping people with what I do know, but this thread is just rediculous.
you can downgrade from 3.08 IPL/SPL by flashing the stock 2.26 tmobile ROM. i do it before every flash. i flash back to the 2.26 ROM to lower my IPL/SPL, then i flash my new ROM, then i flash 3.08 IPL/SPL. works every time...totally repeatable. STOP BEING A EFFIN NOOB

but please read the wiki and gweni before flashing.
Hi,
Since you are new to the PDA arena and also this site, I would seriously recommend waiting untill you have gained some knowledge and understanding of how your device works.
Read the Wiki as advised above and digest as much information and terminology as possible.
We are all here to help, some of us Developers and others power users, but you will find that everyone has started at the same place as you.
Whilst every effort is made by the Developers here to avoid problems whilst flashing/upgrading your devices software, problems are inevitable from time to time, so it is important that you read and understand as much information as you can before upgrading your device, if things do go wrong, the worst thing you can do is panic. Stay calm, have a read and search through the forums for similar issues and then make a post.
Please read the Wiki here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
and I would then advise, when you are ready, to try Leo's latest Rom, Dutty has been very busy of recent and has not released a new Rom for a while (although his work is very good)

There are so many things wrong with your post ... but i won't waste time on counting them ... here is what you need to do:
1) read the kaiser wiki
2) read the kaiser wiki's section on rom upgrading and flashing
3) read about Hardspl ... make sure you get this before you fflash any roms to your device.
4) research and understand what flashing is and what happens to your phone when you flash.
5) download the rom and flash to your phone after establishing pc connection.
Oh and since you asked such a redundant question i am sure a mod will close this thread ... considering you didn't bother reading the below:

On the contrary. Dutty just released a ROM a few days ago, and has promised V2 of that ROM soon.

Thanks for your advice guys, i'm totally new to this just didn't know where to start...So i'll take your advice and disgest all the information i can in the next couple of weeks to get a better understanding - before i do anything to my device. I'm sorry that my post sounded so lame, i just needed telling straight as i wasn't confident of what i was doing to be honest...
Thanks for you time in replying...

strang issues! BRICKED????

Ok i've been runing L26 v12 full for sometime with no issues, tha is untill i woke up the morning. I found my phone was at the hard.spl3.56 rainbow screen and its stuck! Does anyone have any sugestions or thoughts on what I could do to get this back to a ROM that works? I've been reading the board and I dont think this has been brought up before.

Any HTC Stock 6.1 ROMs in nbh form without radio out there?

Been trying to get used to flashing from SD card but can't seem to find a Stock ROM that is suitable. They all seem to come as exe files. I found a good list of reconstructed 6.0 ROMs but can't find any 6.1 ones.
Does this mean everyone flashes to Stock via USB first? Or am I missing something ?
I would like to know this too!
I pulled the nbh from the exe on at&ts website but when I tried flashing from my sd card it only changed my spl and radio back to stock but not the rom.
try to unrar .exe file with winrar
Take this, Shipped 6.1 ROm, no Radio, no SPL

Open and get the RUU file to your SDCard

Thanks. Look like what I was after. Will give it a try next time .
I think almost all cooks have their own stripped 6.1 ROMs. I have one in my thread, and I think zelendel posted one in TPC's thread.
I posted these before.. but here it is again.
Below is the same is the one linked on the other post above. I just named it with correct version number.

Thanks for those . Any particular difference between the two versions? Is the Cingular one onlt for AT&T maybe? I have a UK Orange Tytnii.
Just thought maybe I shouldn't be keeping recommended radio when I reflash ROM? Is it best to reflash original radio first too or doesn't it make any difference?

Damned if I can see anything in your ROM thread or in TPC's lol. I've also tried every search term I can think of.
All I can think is people who bother to do the recommeneded flashing back to stock must be using usb.

No I'm not. Maybe I am going blind but all I see is your link to the AT&T stripped rom but I'm looking for HTC - as I said I've got a UK Orange TytnII which from what I've read says it should be flashed with HTC stock. Or maybe you are saying it doesn't matter which stock rom? And there is definitely no mention of stripped rom on TCP's page - I know that by heart now lol.
Anyway I have 2 now so I will have a go next time. Thanks again.

How dare you jump in here with that attack. I really object to this. Where have I been impolite? Have you read my OP?
For the record I not only read the instructions. I devour them! Then I learnt them parrot fashion before I began. I have been a lurker round here for years but only started flashing last week. And for the last several weeks I have been trawling through literally thousands of posts to be sure of getting it right.
Now please show me on those instruction pages where it tells you how you can find a stock HTC ROM without radio that can be flashed from an SD card!
ai6908 kindly referred me to his page where there is only a link to a stripped AT&T stock rom and to TCP's page where there is no mention either. I was also asking if it was necessary to reflash the same radio every time as none of the instructions mention if you have the radio you need already. Still not had an answer on this so maybe it's just a stupid question - just wish I knew the answer lol.
Thankfully more helpful souls than you have provided me with the file I need. Thanks again F1ip and Pisca.
Some of you people on here can be arrogant so and so's. I belong to many forums and have never come across anything like it. Look at all the space you wasted flaming me and now me having to defend myself! No wonder the kids on here post the way they do if this is the example they get set by senior members. I would wager well over half the posts on this forum are pointless flaming. And just ask yourself how many questions are really new and have not already been answered by someone somewhere here. And look how much space would have been saved if you hadn't butted in here on your high horse without reading my question properly .
Rant over.

Stock ROM is the same, it doesnt matter much for it being HTC or AT&T. Base ROM is the same on both of them.
Actually in my opinion, you dont even need to flash to stock ROM. I never flash stock ROM when I flash, and I flash about 10 times a day sometimes.
Sometimes occational hard reset might help. So in my opinion, just flash to any ROM, and do a hard reset after flash and when it prompts for screen alignment. That should solve all your flash issues.

Interesting, thanks. Certainly would save time not having to go through the whole rigmarole every time. That's one of the main reasons I was asking about the cut-down roms. As least I wouldn't have to keep doing the radio as well. Now whether with my lack of experience I should be going against what the 6.5 chefs seem to all be advising ....... .
On the other hand I may never flash again since TCP's latest seems to tick all my boxes. But having summoned up the courage to get going in the first place and it opens up a whole new lease of life for your phone, you kinda get a bit hooked. So maybe when I find one where MotoHome runs fast and smooth on my old Kaiser ........

Apologies accepted . As you might be abe able to tell, the flaming that goes on verywhere around here really gets to me and you certainly hit a nerve. I sometimes wonder if I've wandered onto some Fight Club site by mistake lol .
Yes I do know the exe files can be uncompressed but the radio is still in the nbh file - and one guy who tried using the nbz file on its own said it flashed the radio part ok but not the rom itself .
What I will do is delve a little more into what makes up the unzipped nbh file. Might be a good way to start getting into this kitchen stuff .
