Hi all I know there's been many a post about being stuck in the bootloader and I even went to the wiki to see what to do.
Firstly, when following the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader) on the mtty_utility there is no option for USB only comm 1, 2, or 3 (am i being stupid?).
Secondly, I had a guess and tried all the comm's and eventually comm three seemed to be the only one working, but when I type in the commands it does not do anything.
Any help would be greatly appriciated as I would hate to see my uni go its been so good to me.
Thanks in advance
Jo
Please help
The USB option is at the very bottom of the list. Unless your PC isn't registering the ports, you should be able to get MTTY to work for that part at least.
Thanks for the reply but there wasn't a USB option, I've tried everything, I think it may be to do with vista continuously wanting to run mobsync.exe whenever I plug the uni in but there's no way to stop it.
I've tried ending it as a process but mtty still doesn't have the option of USB.
If you have any ideas please post them, am I right in beleiving that you cannot charge in bootloader mode? Or is that just off the USB?
Thanks
Jo
P.S. The laptop I'm using can read other things through the USB ports, and I have tried every port just to double check that they are not all on the same line (ie an internal hub).
I think it may have something to do with Vista... I'm not sure as I don't have a Universal...
If you have access to XP it may be faster and easier...
I think you may be right
I shall wait untill my housemate gets back in, if it doesn't work in safemode!
Cheers for your help anyway!
I shall keep all informed just in case anyone else ever has this problem
Got it working!
Right finally got it working! It took some time but I managed to revive it!
1) Connect your device in bootloader (Hold light button, power button, and reset),
2) Open Windows Mobile Device Center and in connection settings uncheck Allou USB Connections,
3) Goto contol panel-administrative tools-services and start windows mobile device connectivity and windows mobile device 2003 connectivity,
4) goto device manager and find your device and update the driver to the one that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001&highlight=vista (it is the one in the modem folder, do not follow their instructions, it will not work in this case),
5) Open task manager and kill wmdc.exe, or anything with wm infront of it, also kill mobsync.exe
6) Goto: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader and follow the instructions (you should be able to see USB as an option now).
In mtty it took a couple of commands before it actually executed then once finished it looked as though it were completely dead, but connect the uni to the comp again in bootlaoder mode and all should be well!

PS could someone put this in the wiki under the title "If mtty does not have the USB option in vista" I'm being a dunce and don't really know how to do it

All,
Read the forums and done all the searches but struggling. Download the Kaiser-HardSPL exe and ran it on my PC (using XP). Get the tricolor and USB screen but then it tells me to disconnect and reconnect USB, but it never goes green again so consequently it doesn't go any further. I've reset the Kaiser and tried again but no joy. Thanks in advance
Read carefully, when you're in the tri-color screen and unplug/plug your device, the activesync icon shouldn't be green cause it is not able to detect your device as a WM one.
Gray is the way to go

Yes, I saw that. The icon has gone grey on my desktop. The next step though says connect the PDA back again via usb and establish a connection. How do you know if it has established. I clicked ok anyway ran the program but it can't read the existing rom info off my kaiser and comes back with a connection error
If i'm correct you should wait for a minute or two to let the ActiveSync connect to your Kaiser. After that it should be good to go further..
Be sure that the ActiveSync icon on your computer desktop is green at that stage..

On your screen, at the bottom, it should say USB.
Once you see that you are ready to install the HardSPL
OK guys success. I think what threw me was the activesync staying grey during flashing but found a nice vid on youtube which helped. Many thanks
yeah, i know, theres probably a solution here, if i only go throu all the hundreds of hits. =)
I tried to upgrade the other day. the same way i always do.
but thus time something got soo ****ed.
I come to the three colored screen, and then it stalls. If i connect the USB-cable, it reboots, three colored screen for 2sec, then reboots, over and over again.
any ideas? or should i just dump the phone and get a new one?
I had a similar situation.

i dont get it.. im so stupid.
1)find a program named mtty
2) on activesync, disable USB connections
3) connect your phone via usb
4) run mtty, st usb connections, and rts/cst flow (search for better instructions)
5) once connected, press enter, you should get a prompt
6) type set 16 0, then enter
7) type task 8, then enter
your phone should (well, might) boot into the os.
I have no idea why this works, it just did for me.
Hi all,
i am really very disappointed, already spent around 12 hours looking for a solution,
the WMDC does not run at all on my Vista machine which is Business 32-bit,
i tried to uninstall, install again, reboot, more than 20 times, with no luck
this is making me creazy, i couldn't find someone suffered the same
please help me, i am willing even to pay for this help
regards,
sounds like a corrupt vista install I would reinstall or restore it back to default
how to confirm its vista
Hi..
thanks for your post?
how did you confirm that its vista issue,
could i just put the vista CD and ask to rebuild?
will it remove my files on the system
yes itll delete everything
my advice would be to get 7
"i couldn't find someone suffered the same"
was a bit of a give away
you could try another vista computer to verify
or if you're using usb you could try using bluetooth and virsa versa
personally I never had any problems with vista wmdc
its not showing the interface
my home vista machine is working fine,
my machine, is not, its not yet about connecting my mobile,
the software it self is not showing,
i install it, without any error msg, it shows in the start menu, and in the programs of control panel,
but when i click on the icon in the start menu, nothing show at all,
i belive it should show the interface even if the mobile is not connected yet,
acctually it shows ew devices
hi.
it shows new devices as unknown device then the driver couldn't be found
if it's a work computer they prob just removed the rights of installing new hardware
from your user account
i tried both with my user which is part of the administrators group, and also tried with the administrator account directly,
both resulted the saem
it takes around 1 minute on the "0 remaining time"
then it just hide without saying its finished or completed,
the result is an icon in the start menu,
and in the windowsmobile directory in windows folder, it shows some files, like setup, and drivers
then if i check properties of the icon in the start menu, it shows that its for first time installation,
i click on it, it install again
then the changes are on the windowsmobile folder in windows folder more EXE files are there like WMDC.exe (but if run it, nothing comes out)
if i recheck the properties of the icon on the start menu, there is no more target application, (you could call it broken link)
whats happenning
i went through the installation part of it,
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/wmdc/install.htm
its exactly what happen with me,
but my side i reach the screen which shows "Installing device driver software"
then it failes after,
if i check the devices i find that it find a bluetooth device, but cannot install it correctly
Hello this is my first post I'm writing because I'm having trouble putting Hard SPL
on my ATT Fuze. I have XP and I connect the phone to the computer and sync it
then open the SPL program go through the prompts then my screen on the phone turns off, the phone I believe also turns off and I get the error 260 a screen pops up on the computer saying it found new hardware. Any help with what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.Im kind of freaked every time I get up the nerve to do it and think I bricked my phone.
Did you install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 first?
Here is the link to follow steps incase you didnt see it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Hey thanks for your help after further reading I know I should have posted this in the right section and yes I have framework 3.5 installed I guess one question would be that I installed 3.5 to the computer do I install it to the phone? Also I have been reading the hardspl post I think one of the ideas is to first install the SSPL manual
to the phone is that correct? Then do the hard spl? If this is corect what do they mean by install it? run it? active sync? sorry just want to get this right
This is from memory - so if i miss something, sorry!
You shouldn't get any error messages when you connect your phone to the pc, regardless of what boot state the phone is in.
The manual jump SPL is to be used if your phone doesnt enter the correct state automatically from the RRU.
If you want to use the manual jump SPL, do this:
1) Connect your phone to the PC (ensure it can sync correctly - no connection errors)
2) Copy the SSPL_manual to the phone
3) (on the phone) run the SSPL_manual file
3b) Phone should now go to a blank black screen
4) Run the RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe on the PC
4b) Follow the PC on-screen instructions
**However**
you say that the phone turns black / screen off when you run the exe normally - this is supposed to happen. You shouldnt get an error here. (this screen off part is what the manual SSPL is going to do anyway).
**
If you still get problems, ensure you are connected to the computers USB port - not via a USB hub, take the SD card & sim out the phone. Maybe try a different PC, different USB lead - always make sure you are following the instructions very carefully - and if you still have problems, let us know & we'll try harder! - remember to tell us everything, if you try 2 leads - tell us! If you get something different, tell us what! You can never give too much technical info when asking for technical help - and the more you have tried, the more interested others become (we all like figuring out a problem!)
Beeble
Thank you so much for your help just to give you an update either way I do it
Manual SSPL or just run the Hard SPL by itself the screen goes black and I know
thats what it is supposed to do. Just to clarify at first I did not know the screen was supposed to go black so thanks for that. Again either way it disconnects and a screen comes up saying it found new hardware from that point at first I was scared to do anything else but but eventually I just clicked YES install the hardware hoping that after I did that it would not disconnect but even saying yes to the Found new harware it would say it could not install any hardware and I'm stuck
from there still getting the error
Again I cannot say enough how helpful people have been even if I have not been able to get hard spl on the phone yet
and i have a few questions before i get started so i dont end up bricking my phone.
first, i tried to hardspl my phone WITHOUT a hard reset on the phone and it would not connect to the phone - kept giving me errors. do i NEED to hard reset my phone before i flash the hard spl?
second, i have read in a thread (i forget where or which thread) that you need your phone in the "flash" mode (i forget what its called exactly, but to get to it on my HTC TP2, you press and hold the volume down button and then press the power button (i believe the hang up button is the power button))... do i need to be in this mode for hard spl and/or when i flash whatever rom i decide upon?
third, the ONLY reason im doing this is to upgrade touchflo 3d to version 2.5. my verizon touch flow is very lack luster and monochromatic. i see these screen shots people post of the new touchflo 3d (manila) and wish to use this instead of what i have now for touchflo. has ANYONE made a cab of touchflo 3d 2.0 or better yet?
thanks and happy flashing.
Welcome aboard
Have a deep read here:

If you follow instructions all should be ok.
Good luck,
thanks, but i have read that and that is the thread i read where it said something about flashing the hardspl after a hard reset, and it confused me, because no other hardspl threads mention having to do this.
i tried following along without the hard reset of the phone, but it would not connect to the phone. i have the phone connected via usb and in windows mobile device center, so i dunno why it wont connect.
Check in settings-connections-usb to pc that you have unticked the 2nd and last option, reboot pc and tp2 and try again.
On simpler terms you have to have checked only the 1st option
Hope it helps,
you mean change those settings on the pc in windows mobile device center, right? or on the phone itself. i just checked my phone in the settings where you said, and it does have a usb to pc applet on the phone, however it does not have any of the described options to uncheck.
