Think I've bricked my Kaiser - Can anyone help?

Hi everyone,
I think I may have bricked my Kaiser. I've been following some similar threads but nothing seems to be working to fix the problem.
I was going through the process to flash a new Rom, starting with installing HardSPL following this thread I was. I was having problems, I think because I have the 1.82 ROM version.
Finally, I thought I had HardSPL installed, so I continued to run KaiserCustomRUU.exe. This completed (jumped from 0% to 100%) very quickly. However, I reset my phone and it is now stuck in the tri-color bootloader screen
The screen has the says:
KAIS130
SPL-1.82.0000
CPLD-8
and has the letters RUUNBH in the top right corner.
I've tried removing the battery and resetting, but the phone always goes back to this screen. I've also tried running mtty, but without success. The command 'readconfig' returned a result 'Command error !!!'.
does anyone know of anything else I can try?

Small bit of good news: if I issue the command 'boot' using mtty, my phone boots into my original ROM successfully, with the mtty output:
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
No card inserted
OSSIReadBack ++
Read SI data from flash success
tail signature match
Checksum match
UserStorageSIPreload ++
It takes a long time to boot (like a couple of minutes), but it does eventually boots up fine. When I reset, I'm back at the tri-color screen though

If your at the tri-color screen, just reflash a new rom

Im not an expert but when its at the tri colour screen, try to flash Hard SPL again, it should pick it up and flash i believe.
If that goes through ok, then do the same to flash another ROM.
Again no expert at unbricking but its definately worth a try

Try this.
1.) Open ActiveSync and navigate to File > Connection Settings - Uncheck Allow USB connections.
2.) Download this ROM http://rapidshare.com/files/5781641...dio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar.html and flash it to your device.
That should work for you.

hi alltheway. thanks for the advice!
I don't want to sound ungrateful, but are you sure the above is safe? I just don't want to make a wrong step now and totally screw up the device (now that I can successfully do a manual boot using mtty).
I know you can't guarantee it but is this what others who are stuck in the bootloader have done?

I had this problem about 2 weeks ago.
I was flashing one of Dutty's Great ROMs and I lost power at the house and shut down my computer when I was 46% done.
I had the same RUUNBH in the top right hand corner. All I did to fix this was flash a factory shipped ROM like the one I provided to you and it worked great. No issue thus far.
Honestly I can't gurantee 100% if this will totally fix your problem but I am 95% sure.
Unless some other users have an answer for you I think this will be your best solution. Regardless of what you do you will have to flash to a new ROM anyways.

Also, I'm a bit dubious on whether i will be able to flash to that ROM. I don't think I have the right HardSPL installed to flash roms (see what my boot-loader screen says in the first post).
I'm no expert though.... obviously

Thanks for all the info alltheway. I'm too tired now (will probably f*ck the thing up even further! ), so I'll try flashing this tomorrow.
Here's some more info I've collected using mtty (my phone is an O2 XDA Stellar):
Code:
Cmd>info 2
HTCSO2___001¯JG±HTCE
Cmd>getdevinfo
GetDevInfo: Get CID OK
HTCSKAIS1300O__0HTCE

Hi tqm. I've been following that post but as far as I can tell there is no solution there yet.
From what I can tell from that thread (and others), the only way stop the phone booting to the tri-color screen (in RUUNBH mode) is to flash with a ROM that matches the vendor. I think because I haven't been able to install HardSPL properly, my phone's version of SSPL will only load O2 ROMs (could be wrong here, but that's the picture I'm building ). Unfortunately no-one seems to have extracted the ROM from an XDA Stellar :\
I believe alltheway's solution above worked for him because he had HardSPL installed properly. He could load the stock ROM to fix the phone, because his SSPL version allowed different ROMs to be loaded. I'm not certain of this, and I'll probably try his suggested solution when I get home today... but I'm not too confident.
If only there was an mtty command to just get the phone out of 'RUUNBH' mode. I've seen the command 'task 8' mentioned on here, but it doesn't work when I try it. Does anyone know of a list of mtty commands for the Kaiser anywhere?

Definitely flash the original ROM, it will get your device to the default HTC shipped state.
Then sync phone with ActiveSync, install HardSPL again and then flash custom ROM.
I remember i had the same issue but the original rom is a lifesaver

You mean the original HTC ROM? or the original O2 ROM? (what my phone originally came with)
If I don't have one of the HardSPL versions posted on the forums (I believe they never installed properly, which is what caused all my problems I think), will I still be able to flash the stock HTC ROM:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe
Basically my questions is: is this stock HTC ROM flash-able to ALL kaisers? (even without downloading/installing HardSPL from the forums)
If not (i.e. I can't flash even the stock HTC ROM), is it expected that if I can't successfully install HardSPL, my Kaiser will only accept O2 ROMS?

IMHO the HTC stock ROM should work even without HardSPL, at least for me it worked fine... but just for sure have your O2 stock ROM by hand.

I don't thinks there's a way to flash HardSPL on tri-color scrren so far, coz activesync cannot connected to computer
the best way is trying to find the phone's offcial ship rom to flash

No luck trying to flash with the stock HTC ROM:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe
After getting to 1%, it reports an error:
Error [294] : Invalid Vender Id
As suspected, looks like this will only accept an O2 ROM Will have to wait until one is available.

Did you try installing HardSPL and then reflashing?

the stock HTC rom will not load onto your kaiser simply because it is still CID locked to O2's CID code. You HAVE to find the O2 rom that your device came with or any O2 ROM and reflash that and you will be good to go. You may also try and flash HardSPL but I dont think its going to work. But remember have a friend or someone on the forum dump and rebuild the O2 rom for you and just reflash the OS.nb or ROM only no radio!
It is very simple to dump and rebuild a rom so if you have a friend that has a kaiser have him over for an hour and dump his
thats your only shot at this point.

My current ROM version is 1.82. I don't think installing HardSPL has been solved for this ROM version, which I think is where all my problems started. I have tried, but no version of HardSPL (that I've found) will install correctly.

Thanks for the reply austinsnyc, this is what I'm hoping to do now, I'm watching this thread 'Has anyone dumped the o2 Stellar rom yet ?' closely Maybe I should reconstruct the ROM myself, I'm just a bit worried about arsing that up as well I'd rather someone experienced reconstructed and verified the ROM (on a phone that isn't already messed up).
Out of interest, would you be able to give me a succinct explanation of what is actually wrong with my phone at present? As far as I can tell, the only problem is that the boot-loader is stuck in RUUNBH mode. Has part of the ROM on the phone actually been destroyed?
I'm assuming right now that the point of flashing the O2 ROM is just to make the phone 'finish' a flash and get out of RUUNBH mode. Or is it actually to re-instate something that has been lost?
If it is to reinstate something that's at present lost, is this data definitely part of the os.nb?
If it's just to get the boot-loader out of RUUNBH mode, I'm REALLY gutted that there isn't just a mtty command to do this
Oh yeah, and perceptivepixel.com Ace!

Impossible to install the HardSPL on my Tilt!!!

Hello to all,
I'm new on this forum and let me thank everyone !!!
I've an AT&T Tilt 8925.
First of all I tried both the ways suggested in the threads to install the hardSPL but I've always the same problem:
I've no problem to install on my device the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe (or the 1.93) but when I launch the KaiserCustomRUU.exe I follow the instructions on my pc and after the program has detected my rom version (1.57) and
has started the installation of the HardSPL (at least it seems) the activesync connection disappears (it becames grey) and the RUU shows an "error" and suggests me how to restore my device leaving the battery etc. (but to restore everything it's enough a just soft reset)
Please can you help me???
Alf

Please post in the appropriate thread.

??? Which thread ???
I'm really sorry....which thread is the correct one ?
Thanks

No need to apologize. The one in which you got the hardspl files.

Okay, I'm gonna answer this because it's buried in the HardSPL thread & hard to find since it was answered once about a month ago by me. Diconnect your device, do NOT reset. Run thru the recovery or close out the HardSPL flash.(You are using Flash HardSPL w/ the RUU, right?) Reconnect your device & run the utility again.
If this doesn't work it's because I'm partially guessing. You've not provided nearly enough information. I need to know what SPL version your device currently has, also if you are running a firewall & which one, also if you use any McCafee products.

Things that will help others help you:
1. where are you located?
2. who is your provider
3. what ROM WERE you on?
4. ok - you had a phone that was working - and you did:
a. what did you do first?
b. second?
c. etc.
Your message KINDA indicates that you flashed a ROM and had issues - so you THEN flash HARDSPL? was that successful?

OK - I do not think that you got the HARDSPL installed on your phone correctly - BECAUSE - I believe that it would say OLIPOF or JOCKY on it and it does not.
I have not seen the new HARDSPL 328 and 329 but it LOOKS like to me that you did not successfully get the HARDSPL on your phone.
Personally - I would scan the message boards for GSLEON3 (user name) and send him a private message - there are many others that can help you and he or others MAY come trolling by and take pity on you - but at the moment he is the one that helps people in your situation the most from what I have seen.
I would NOT continue to work on it myself as you can definitely mess your phone up permanently. Does your phone still go into boot loader mode? If so - can you flash the required HARDSPL onto your phone?
Find a message that GSLEON3 has left and then lik on his name and send him a private message - he is very nice - BUT - he is VERY busy - continue to be nice and he will most likely get you back and running.

Danny -
Deep cleansing breaths here ok?
1. personally - I would PUT BACK what ever you had on your phone and get it running again - trying at this point to get ot to go to a different ROM is not a good idea right at this minute.
2. 28 and 29 from what I read makes no difference - users try each one to see which one works better on THEIR flashed ROM.
3. What I would do is look for the HARDSPL that goes with what you had loaded to begin with - or the actual SPL that came with your original ROM and put that one back.
I would be stuck here because I have to use JUMPSPL on my phone because I get the white screen - but I THINK that (don't quote me because I do not do it this way) if you don't get the white screen you can just flash the HARDSPL to your phone without JUMPSPL (having to be able to copy something to your phone.
HOWEVER - if you cannot or do not know how to continue from reading the WIKI - you MUST request help from a professional - I have already recommended one. (GSLEON3)

Based on your current track record, I wouldn't suggest you use MTTY as you have a VERY HIGH probability of bricking your phone (ie: it won't ever be usable again).

so im fu--.

Can you get the phone into the bootloader mode? Turn the phone off (pull the battery if you have to) then press and hold the camera button while you turn the phone on. You should get to a tri-color screen (this is the boot loader). Now plug in the USB cord and see if it switches from saying Serial to USB. If so, you can try flashing AN OFFICIAL ROM THAT WAS MEANT FOR YOUR PHONE (ie: Don't try to put an offical AT&T rom on an Orange). When you run the RUU program it will tell you that you need to have ActiveSync working, but don't worry about that. If your phone in bootloader shows USB, you can continue on.
BUT AGAIN... You need the Official rom that was meant for your device. Since you are not HardSPL'd you have to do it this way.
If you don't understand any of that, or have questions, don't just try it hoping you get it right...
As stated previously, it would be well worth you time to get someone like GSLEON to assist if you can.

Not to be mean but if you have red Wiki and looked at threads here and they "don't make sense to you". You really have no business flashing a rom. If you don't understand what you are doing sooner or later you will brick your phone from your lack of knowledge and it will be no ones fault but your own.
I am really surprised people were willing to repeat what has been typed out hundreds and hundreds of times on these forums.
Welcome to XDA

Jocky HardSPL etc

OK please don't flame me as I am going round and round in circles jumping from one thread link to another trying to get to grips with this stuff!
OK...
The other day I tried to install the hardspl and got the white screen problem.
I followed the thread to sort that out and all appeard ok and the phone continued to work OK under HTC stock 6.1
Yesterday I flashed L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release and have been playing around with it trying to sort stuff out.
I then started reading the thread about ultimate radios and trying to work out what other radios work with this ROM and how I go about installing them and read I need to confirm the spl I am on and so did the hold camera button and reset to see the spl version.
It says the following:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.0liPof
CPLD-8
Now from what I understand it should say SPL-3.2X or similar?
But it does not?
I thought that I needed the SPL-3.2X etc in order to flash cooked ROMS but it looks like I dont have that......so how was I able to flask L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release ?

Read the SQL Questions thread in the Wiki. It will explain a lot of this to you.
In short, any HardSPL will allow you to flash, it's just the 3.* ones are more compatable with the latest WM6.1 builds.
EDIT:
Normally I'd flame you for this, but Im already flaming another noob atm That doesn't mean someone else wont flame you later.

If you are able to flash a ROM onto your device, then you must have an UNLOCKED phone. For simple instructions on upgrading to the new SPL I suggest you visit the following :

Good luck.

Well I am sure I am gonna get flamed for this post, but here goes....
BTW "I AM NOT MOANING OR PICKING FOR AN ARGUMENT" I know this info here is given as is and appreciate the time people spend putting it all together
For the noob there is a trillion things to read here all of which lead to another trillion things which lead to ......
This phone flashing is all new to me and as I paid £434 for it I dont want to brick it, a term along with many I have never heard of before coming here.
I digress...
Anyway after reading and trying to understand it all I have flashed my phone and it works a treat and I am happy, just still in the dark about many things.
The thing is as a noob it is extremely daunting to start to read a thread, wiki etc to try to understand about a topic which diverts you to threads which divert, divert, divert so that after 3-4 diversions you foget what it was you were readiing about to start with!
And then you get to the point....I dont understand this...should I post lest I get flamed.......
So basically from a noobs point of view....everyone was a noob at some point, be gentle with us!
OK.....let the pachjo bash commence...........

Not a flame, just my way of working...
You raise some good points about the amount of info here. But like most here I managed to flash my device without posting a single new thread. If I had a problem with a step I posted there.
_Alex_ has consolodated most info into the single sticky. And there are step by step guides and FAQs on the Wiki.
I just took it one topic at a time:
*Found a ROM, said I needed HardSPL.
*Found HardSPL, installed it.
*Flashed ROM.
*No sound, found thread explaining about Radios. Flashed Radio.
*and so on.
I was (and still do) always reading thread that I found related to me learning as I go and helping where I can. I too like you knew nothing when I first joined and no one minds "noobs" asking questions in the relevant threads when they get stuck, but this is ROM development forum. All new threads should pertain to ROM "development".

you must use (aka JumpSPL )file before changing the SPL
this jumber must be in your device before flashing the new hard SPL

Thanks guys.....am reading away and will take onboard your comments

first off, you can flash any rom with the olipof hardspl 1.0. the problem is, you will get screen freezes every once in a while. Using jumpspl, you can go to another hardspl. Usually jumpspl is included in all the new hardspls, but maybe not. Get familiar with what jumpspl is and then switch to hardspl.

I am amazed at how fast my apps are loading now I am no longer on the stock ROM!
The phone reception is better, the SRS WOW is fandabbydosey its all good for me, and I have fixed (well found the solution to at least one of my gliches also)

Flashing HardSPL Sprint HTC Snap (s511)

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!

Device Help
I have a HTC Snap 511 from a Wireless Carrier in Puerto Rico it works just as fine as Sprint's. Actually its the same phone under another carrier. I tried Updating the rom i got lucky it boots 6.5 but i downloaded the wrong rom because its for a GSM phone not CDMA now its asking me for SIM and i can't updated to the one it goes ( that i downloaded sometime later )... Tri-Color Says:
CEDA200
SPL-0.39.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v 58B
i tried putting the s511 Sprint ROM but says at upgrade communication error.
I think its because im downgrading roms?
CEDA is 2.00.XXXX
WILL is 1.50.XXX
Any comments are aprreciated.
PS-
SIM Failure
The SIM card is missing or is not valid.You can still make emergency calls if your service providers supports it.
