Hi. Can someone please help me out? I was trying to flash my cingualr 2125 from wm 5.0 to 6.0. I was using Kar Hoe's instuctions and I used the typhoon instuctions instead of the tornado instuctions. I didn't know there was a difference at the time.
I did all the steps up until step 5 on the typhoons where it states you will get a white screen. At that point, I accidently hit my usb and the phone disconnected from active sync. I thought if I took my battery out, I could just do a reboot and get the reboot screen. Well I got nothing. I cannot even turn the phone one. I cannot even connect to active sync. I thought maybe I fried the battery and bought a new one and no luck. I have done a hard restart and all other things that I could think of.
Does anyone know if I had hurt the phone and if it can be fixed to get to the bootable screen. I would be happy just to get it to power on and stay with wm5 just to have the phone working.
I really appreciate your help.

Aah i remember doing the same once i screwed up my newly acquired tornado with typhone rom. phone was dead no bootup screen nothing, i tried every thing asked everywhere, thankfully i had warranty period so went to them with very innocent face and made up a story that "i switched it at night and it wont boot in the morning" they bought and gave me a new phone after a week. any ways GOOd Luck
Enjoy WM6
think your in trouble mate. Using the wrong rom and cancelling it half way is a big no no. Least you have a fancy paper weight
Similar problem
I have just acquired a tornado (in it's o2 guise) and it will only get as far as the wm splash screen. I thought trying a hard reset or flashing it with a new rom might revive it. However I tried hard reset (holding down the 2 soft keys beneath screen while pressing power button?) but it just kept booting to the splashscreen. The phone doesn't boot far enough to be recognised by Activesync so can't flash it. Can anyone suggest a solution? Would going to bootloader mode allow me to flash it? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks
try this.
1.switch off phone
2. remove battery
3. re install battery
4. hold camera button
5. while holding camera button plug usb cable to port
6. after some second u will see three color bootloder screen
7.format binfs
7. then u can flash correct tornado rom
you can us alternative method for going to bootloder mode
hold camera button while holding camera button press power button(not hold)
GOOD LUCK
Hi fayizk1
Thanks for the tip. Just one question, will this command CID unlock the phone too? It's just the phone isn't CID unlocked, I've tried using instructions and tools on other threads to change the CID value of downloaded roms to that of my phone, but all Typhoonnbftools produces is a 512 byte .nbf file which isn't good for anything. Any suggestions?
binfs not allowed!
When I run format binfs from teratermpro I'm told it's not allowed. What do I do now?
First off, try a couple different times. The "format BINFS" command is case sensitive - where your capital letters are makes ALL the difference. You may need to try a couple times, but I believe "format" is all lowercase and "BINFS" is all capitals.
Thanks djsleepwalker but I tried your suggestion and tried a few times in different cases but still got "Not allowed operation". (If all caps I get "Invalid command") I read somewhere that I'm getting this message because the phone is not CID-unlocked?
Tried a few times in different cases, still get "Not allowed operation". I read somewhere else that I'm getting this message because the phone is not CID-unlocked? Well I know that otherwise I would have just flashed another rom. Problem is I have tried using Typhoonnbftools to change the CID over numerous roms, the file it produces is only 1kb or smaller which is no good for anything. I feel like I'm running out of options...
Just try to flash with a legal WM5 ROM from the magnufacture's web site while the device is in bootloader screen. I hope it will work.
Good luck
This is my problem. There isn't one on their site! I emailed them but they were no help at all.
edit: Have also searched loads of forums etc. no-one seems to have it and there are lots of people looking for o2 roms.

Hi everyone. I am in need of assistance with shelltool. I've been flashing ROMs for quite some time and this goes beyond the scope of typical upgrading. I apparently had a bad flash happen and need some help correcting it. The OS appears to work fine, except some applications .cab installers exit before asking device or storage card. I have attempted to load the EnableRapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab; however, they exit almost instantly after starting them.
I had this situation happen once before and I was able to oddly enough try to load the original T-Moblie ROM through shelltool (didn't install at all), then try NBD 8.3. which brought me to a boot loader screen after doing a hard reset, but didn't install NBD 8.3. So far I'm not having much luck in recreating the experiment.
Is there a way to force a Wizard into bootloader mode using shelltool or some other utility? I can restore the device if I can get that far.
it's time for my first post
Hi, have been reading this forum for about 3 month and i enyoy it and learn a lot. Have been try about 7 roms and like all. It's time to payback.
Yo can enter bootload by pressing and holding the voice command button and then softreset, keep holding the voice command button util you reach bootload.
Other thing you can do is run the original rom by its executable program not using shelltool.
Good luck
Awesome! That rescued my phone. You saved me quite a bit of time in getting my phone back to a working state. You've more than given back!

Please tell me how did you restore your phone? i am flashed touchflo rom to my phone and some how it is stuck to the multicolor screen.
Can you help me out?
Thanking you in anticipation.
1 put phone into bootloader by pressing and holding camera button+reset hole. Keep holding the camera button untill you see the tricollor screen.
2 plug the phone into the computer (wait to hear the noise that it found hardware
3 Flash a rom you know worked (maybe your original/ maybe someone elses... maybe even mine )
4 wait untill the flashing finishes and "Tap Screen..." appeares before unplugging.
(If you have a G4 then I advise you to flash the original rom, or make sure your ipl/spl is propper. check the G4 forum to be sure, or ask Mestrini - The creator of the Wizard service tool. I believe he has a G4 and knows more about it than most)
Happy Flashing
Randomly get Update/Connection errors.
Thank you very much for the response.
Unfortunately, i am still not able to flash the ROM. I did the follwoing steps, can you please help me letting me know, where m i wrong?

Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe [the oringal one, used to be working since long]

ERROR [274] : CONNECTION
and some other errors.

Thanking you in anticipation.
Any Help Appreciated. Anyone ever seen this type of "Brick"?
After flashing a new ROM (Tilt XDA-Live v1.0 - fully flashed to 100% and said finished), the device won't boot. It just gets stuck in an endless loop. It trys to boot, shows the AT&T screen, then reboots/resets back to the beginning before getting to the Windows mobile screen.
The only way to get it to stop the loop is to pull out the battery. Put the battery back in and power on and you get the loop again.
I have loaded HARD SPL (1.0.OliPof).
I can get into Bootloader mode by pressing power/camera then reset.
In this mode, I can get it to reflash the ROM (and even other ROMS) but it still ends up in the same loop.
I have tried flashing the Official ATT WWE ROM from this thread but it still loops at boot.
I did the "original/problematic" flash using Vista. Could that be the issue? I have done subsequent "recovery" flashing using XP to no avail.
I have flashed several ROMs to my Tilt in the past (Mostly Dutty ROMs).
I had a Hermes before and flashed that a million times no issue so I'm not a complete noob.
Any ideas? I'm stuck with a brick!
Thanks in advance.
I'm in the same boat. I've flashed over and over (with different ROMs) and am still stuck. But I did every flash from MicroSD card. Did you get any help?
No input yet.
What ROM did you flash that started the problem for you?
dutty's touchflo rom beta for the tilt. i was on dutty's hybrid rom version 3. after flashing the OEM at&t ROM, i'm out of ideas. stay in touch if you find a fix. i'll keep searching.
- J
Bump...
Anyone else seen the issue with a Tilt stuck in a "boot loop" after flashing (see first post)?
Paypal reward for anyone who helps me recover - otherwise I'm going to have to go buy another Tilt (which I could live with but worse yet, I may be stuck with the stock ROM because I'm too gunshy to go back to my flashing ways)
Tried all day to find a fix. Think I made things worse. Read up on some threads using the mtty tool and ran a command (task 2a) that cleared the flash. But now it doesn't even boot to a splash screen, and I can't get back to bootloader mode.
This might sound a bit stupid, but I have taken note that my device upon flashing the new at&t rom actually held some of the information, you would think that a hard reset is performed after a rom flash, but that just wasn't how it worked out for me, anyway I had a radio that wouldn't come up, but would after a hard reset, this was directly after flashing my tilt...
?Glitch
Glitch,
Yeah, I have heard in several places that you need to hard reset after a flash to clear out all the settings from the old ROM. Seems odd since you just overwrote ROM - I think of it as a format (HDD mindset) but I guess it's not a clean format.
Jerich007,
Sorry to hear you went backwards. I stopped flashing my Tilt for the same reason - worried about getting farther in the hole without some expert advice. My next step was to try the MTTY tool just as you noted. Guess I'll go that route as a last resort. If it's any consolation, I seem to remember reading about plenty of people recovering from a "brick" that won’t go into bootloader mode.
Hopefully someone trolling the waters will see this thread and take up the offer for a Cash Reward (Paypal) for help recovering this Brick!
ill put up some paypal $$ for a fix as well. i'm at the end of my rope on this one. i'm subscribed to some other threads so hopefully we'll get some feedback.
It is not so serious as you think! Try the following way:
1- Download the original rom from AT&T (the 1st rom was installed on your device)
2- Turn your bricked Tilt to bootloader ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets )
3- Start flashing your Tilt with the above AT&T rom.
Evething should be OK after that! (but your device need to be installed Hard-SSPL before!!!)

This ROM solved my issues
try this thread

and DEFINETLY download the ROM, flash it. Once it's flashed,then ya can reflash any ROM ya want. Get the newest stock ROM from the sticky and reflash it (if ya want the ATT ROM)
That will fix it.
(I reflashed Tilt XDA-Live v 1.0, and it's working GREAT.)
I did the same thing to my Tilt.
That ROM saved me.

Problem is I can't get to a bootloader screen now. I press Camera+Power+reset, but all that happens is the green LED goes off then on, and then the screen is blank. Anyone know any other tricks? I think I may have erased my bootloader using mtty command 'task 2a'.
...
Hate to say it, but if after hours of searching on the forum you can't find an answer, i'd pm a pro like pof. I don't know if that will work, but their advice is the only thing i'd listen to.
Don't forget to give a lot of detail and maybe mention what you've tried.
Thanks. I've already PM'd pof and olipro. Hopefully they can come up with something.

****, I should have replied after someone posted all those links to Hermes unbrick procedures, to never do a task 2a from hardSPL. It reformats entire flash including SPL and the problem with hardSPL is that you can't flash another SPL, even if you would have tried before rebooting
Anyhow, your only chances to unbrick your device are to try to enter radio bootloader (there is a radio bootloader running on the mARM (ARM9)) and then to flash it. However, only service centres have such flashx utilities I'm afraid. Furthermore I'm not sure if radio bootloader can be entered directly, usually you can enter it via the normal CE SPL. You can try to first connect USB and then press reset with the stylus while holding the Voicecmd key. If you are in XP, then three new devices should be found (composite USB, a modem and a diagnostics port). Download the Motorola "Q" usb drivers, these will work just fine. In this mode you will have to authenticate to the radio bootloader before you can start entering commands. We'll get to that if you manage to connect. Your other chance to unbrick is via JTAG. I know the kaiser has JTAG points scattered on PCB.
Ok, thanks, I'll search for those drivers and let you know. By Voicecmd key do you mean the push-to-talk key along the side or the talk key with the green phoneset icon?
The top button at the left hand side
Ok here's what happens:
1. downloaded Motorola USB drivers (32-bit) from their site, installed and rebooted.
2. plugged in Tilt via usb cable, 'found new Hardware wizard' starts.
3. clicked next to auto-search for drivers, but the wizard fails with 'cannot install this hardware' message. I have 3 yellow question marks in Device Manager for 'Data Interface' devices.
4. held down Push-to-talk button and hit soft reset. No change, no leds are lit, screen is off.
Did I grab the right drivers?
Not bad at all. Apparently your phone is in Qualcomm DIAG mode, probably as a consequence of task 2a Now you can forget about rebooting with Voicecmd pressed.
Either you've got the wrong drivers or you don't install them in the correct way. Go in device manager, right click one of the 3 and update driver, then 'install from a list or specific location (Advanced)', then check 'Include this location in search' and enter the driver path. I'll take a quick look if I can find the drivers for you, I vaguely remember they were on mobile-files dot com.
EDIT: found the drivers, attached. The VID and PID of the found usb devices should be VID_05C6&PID_6000. Take a look in the device's advanced tab in device manager.
PS: Although diagnostics mode sounds great, I haven't yet found a way to flash the device. Perhaps it works with that Hermes radio flasher MaUpgrade_NoID.exe
Guys with a working SPL can enter radio bootloader DIAG mode via "rtask b", exit MTTY and install drivers. It would be great to know if someone has a htc/qualcomm radio flash utility (perhaps MaUpgrade_NoID.exe is what you need)
If the answer is one this site already I apologize to everyone but I have been searching for 3 days now and no joy.
I will try to keep is short and simple.
I have been flashing for the last year now and have never had trouble until now. Flashed Duttys ROM released on June 5th I believe. Went great but still had old HardSPL on my phone. Followed the steps to flash latest SPL 3.29 and it never took. As a matter of fact something happened to the USB and my pc was unable to recognize the device. So I was stuck for the moment and had to leave that way until I had more time.
Received a phone call and when I hung up it went to white screen with call graphics at the bottom, missed call, received call, etc. I soft reset the phone and then the Tri-Color screen came up and this is the info:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.0lIPof
CPLD
I am assuming this is the first HardSPL that I loaded. So then I preceed to flash via SD and it says that the flash completed and was successful. However when I soft reset the phone goes back to the Tri-Color sceen and does not load the image I just flashed.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get this phone working again? I am open to any and all suggestions.
Thank you in advance
does the bootloader show ruunbh on top?
ok this should be an easy fix! the poster above asked the right question!
lets start from scratch now though ok,
-first download SSPL.KAIS and save it to your memory card.
- Download Which ever hardSPL you would like to use.
- run SSPL.KAIS from SD card and then flash New HardSPL, check to make sure it flashed right by going into bootloader should say what ever SPL you just flashed.
- If that flashed correctly then proceed to flashing the HTC WM6.1 shipped ROM, which can be found on the forum! Make sure its a NON-cooked rom...
- If that flashed correctly then pick which ever custom rom you would like and flash that, make sure that flashed correctly and if so your done
Austinsnyc,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Sorry just a few questions and one statement.
The phone is in the Tri-Color screen state constantly. The only way I can load the bootloader is if I rename a ROM to KAISIMG.nbh. Then is something akin to ROM, radio, etc and when that flashes they will have an OK next to them. Alright with that said a few questions.
Do I have to rename the SSPL.KAIS file, it does not run as is? When loaded on the the card, Tri-Color comes up and then for a brief second is says, Loading.....No Image File.
Do I load both files on the card at the same time and do I have to rename them? i.e. KAISIMG.nbh
Thank you for your help

No it doesn't. I will say KAISIMG.nbh, the ROM I renamed to load. Then is list all the features of that ROM, i.e. OS, SPL, radio. I flash it and it says success but still will not load.

that means you have bad data blocks which can also be cleared using mtty.
I must be very thick, I can't get MTTY to connect. Every time I plug in the USB to my Vista OS pc is says it can't recongize the device and it has malfucntioned. I know the USB is working, it was up until I was having this problem at least.
So I start MTTY and look for USB in the drop down for Port but only COM 1 & 2 show up.
So any other suggestions you or anyone else may have is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your patience
with Vista you need to use Mtty 5.13 which can be found in the FrankenKaiser radio from hell thread. There is also a guide on how to install the old XP drivers to WindowsMobileDeviceCenter that helps a bunch with USB issues. Also I think you miss understood me the tri-color screen is the Bootloader screen!!!

I don't think it means bad blocks for sure.
Ok. I have read just about everything I can find on MTTY, old XP drivers (which I already have installed) and I still can not get anything to work. When I plug in the phone via usb, pc says it cannot recongize the device and it must have malfunctioned. I have tried MTTY 5.13 numerous times and still cannot get usb to show up and have been unseccessful with all my attempts to connect via a COM port.
Is there any place in NYC, Brooklyn or Queens that I can take this phone too and someone with more experience can fix this for a fee of course? I just and need to get my phone working again.
So I have another question since I have been unable to get anywhere with the dang thing.
I am unable to get my laptop/pc to recognize the phone, I can't even get drives to load. Been searching and reading and still looking for a solution to this issue. If you know where is answer is in this forum could you please point me in the right direction?
Aslo, if someone is willing to spend the time with me to solve this issue get the phone running again, I will be more the happy to donate generously.
I think this can be solve quickly if I could get the time with someone.
For the folks that have replied, I can't thank you enough it has been a great learning experience.

Thanks for your response.
I somehow seem to have gotten somewhere.
I just repeatedly kept trying to hard re-set, taking the battery out, connecting USB.... and then it hard-reset.
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
I wonder if you can recommend a stable ROM? I love the speed and battery life of the one I installed but dont like the idea of being between meetings and having a phone in limbo.
Thanks again.
Hello to all, I am a noob here and have tried to adhere to all of the demands to do research and not post ?'s, but I am at a wall.
I have a Tilt and I ran the sim unlock and I was using the Sleuth 3.0 on it. Everything was working fine. I added the Iunlock cab and it worked fine as well. I then tried to install the icontacts, but i would have to go to program files and icontacts file in order to use I contacts. Well, wanna be innovative me thinks to try and move that file so it would replace something. I copied it to the windows appbuttons folder and deleted the regular contacts and nothing happened, then I put it in the start up folder and no luck, then I simply copied it to the windows folder not at the bottom where all of the extra files are. After that I tried to reset it and now all that I get is the bootloader screen. it reads as follows:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.Olipof
CPLD-8
At the bottom, it shows either USB or Serial depending on if the usb is plugges up.
I tried running the sim unlock again and the dutty rom and both load to 100% but it goes back to the same screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help and thank you so much.

OK, thank you all for you diligent assistance. I have tried the hard reset and it does the same thing...goes to black for about 2 seconds, then for a very split second goes to a grey screen and flashes loading then back to the bootloader.
I will try a search for the people stuck in bootloader and try flashing a OEM ROM, I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

Here is a list of OEM ROMs:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
I do not see any Mods here around or somebody yelling (search button is your friend,search the wiki everything is there, bla bla)To having a woman at home change everything.. Thanks..!
Before you try the dangerous MTTY method, you could try refresh a oem rom w/ the SD method
ok, I am flashing an OEM rom now, but what does it mean to do it with the sd method?

From youre sd card (memorycard), look it up in wiki. Moust of us flashaholics keeps oure rom on oure memorycard and just rename the rom/bootsplash/radio or whateva and place it in root then activate bootloader -> flash. This is an alternative for not using usb cable, pc and active sync
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
ok thanks, but am i correct in understanding that to do that I have to use the phone to access the mem card?
My issue is that the only screen I get is bootloader, no nothing else. I can't even turn it off. I can take the battery out to get a black screen, but any action to try something will take it back to the bootloader screen. But for some reason, it still allows me to flash the ROM, I think. I flash it on my pc and then my phone goes to the grey screen where it shows the % of progress. It reaches 100% and the pc tells me to click finished and I do then it goes back to the bootloader.

yes, just use a card adapter or something to acess youre card (if you cant connect via active sync) then copy the rom over and follow the steps in wiki. Beeing stuck in the bootloader some times aint the worse place to be stuck

I don't mean to argue with you here and you are right about research threads, but honestly it's easy to get caught up in frustration with the amount of information. Some authors are good at documentation and some skip steps along the way or extra links are in the threads.
I just switched over to Gullum's Diamond Rom and was I nervous upgrading "Yes" and did I read much that I could "Yes". Were the instructions to HardSPL, Jump were a little unclear "Yes" so people asking questions are legit to a degree but we shouldn't also be eagar to pounce on...

I agree with some of your remarks. Yes myself and others have jumped down people's throats yelling, "Search." One thing you have to remember though this is a developers forum, not a novice forum to help people making there phone look "cool."
Going into flashing / upgrading / modifying, you have to have a little bit of knowledge or time using Windows Mobile / Windows in General devices and machines.
Usually reading some background information can be a world a difference before jumping into this sort of thing.
I found the problem to stuck in bootloader. Thanks to all who have posted threads.

I will be spending this weekend & most of next week helping to care for her & will be unavailable still for the next ten days or so.
There are many capable people in the Kaiser forum that will help. If you have hit a wall, be patient & I will begin to answer my PM's in the order they were recieved within the next week. Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment, but family comes first as I'm sure you understand.
Thanks,

Aboslutely man. You go take care of your family. I will pray for God to guide you all through this trying time.
On the Kaiser note, I found after further studying of some threads, a solution to my issue where I was stuck in bootloader. I think this will apply to anyone that is stuck in bootloader with the usb/serial showing at the bottom and when they try to flash a new rom is goes to 100%, but the are still stuck on the boot screen.
After reading more threads, it appeared that there was some sort of disconnect between the usb and the phone. Since my PC was stating that it was successfully completing the flash, that shows that it was not getting any type of error from the phone. After reading a thread I simply blew in my tilt usb port and used my stylus to try to straighten it out as one of your post state to ensure the usb connection is straightor it may give mtty an issue.
Once I messed with my USB port, the phone came back to life and everything was fine. Everything was rebooted and all my info was lost however. I was even able to successfully flash a new ROM.
In closing, if anyone is stuck in bootloader mode and their flash goes to 100% and doesn't fix their issue, tell them to clean and straighten their usb connection.

Hello Friends,
I have been actively using Various ROMs in this section of the forum. I have flased almost each one of them and love them all.
I recently installed PDACorner ultimate v19 and it was working fine. I loved it.
However, today I faced strange problem. My touch screen stopped working. So I tried to realign it and it wasn't working at all. i could use the hardware buttons, but not the touch screen.
I did a hard reset and then my mobile stuck at the screen where it asks to "tap to continue".
and i could do nothing now.
Then i flashed the Simple OS to it and again the same problem. I dont know how to proceed now?
Is there any way to get through the initial touch screen condition which says "tap here to continue" ? My phone is within the warranty period but cant get it sent back due to unlocking thingy i did. Is reverting it back to the original condition possible without involving the touch screen ?
Please help me.
Thank parleyp for this.

Yes you can revert without the touch screen..you can flash the stock rom via usb or sd card and then you can change to stock spl either via usb using sspl since you now know what to do to avoid the alignment screen or sd card using cmonex's tools.
FYI--welcome.not is the name you need to give to a blank file and put it on the root of the sd card. Make sure it has no extension.
I had to put mine back to stock without the usb cable since my usp port shorted last week.
Hello, my friend.
Sadly, my Kaiser has the same problem since past september, and then send it back to Houston, Tx for repair and they tell me the flash memory has ben corrupted, and just like you i try different ROM's and one day the touchscreen fail after used a Rom from ROMeOS. The only solution its change the mobo and then use an official ROM before flash a custom one.
Fortunately, Mr. Pedro Gonzalez (HTC Technical Support Manager), give me a hand and my phone was considered in warranty, so the repair was a kind present from HTC. Thank you again, Mr. Gonzalez !!!! My advice is if you still have warranty, use it.
Good luck with your Kaiser!!!
Sorry for my poor english.
Regards.
Thanks a lot

Thanks a ton Parleyp for your support and making this forum richer. I will keep in touch with you coz i am fearing the fact that will my phone be completely reverted back to the original situation or not? I have to see the related thread for this and i will keep in touch.
Thanks for the helping hand.

Reverted back to the locked State
I used the following thread:
Updated: Reverting back to the AT&T or HTC ROM and SPL for Warranty or return
and the Idiots guide to revert my phone back to the original state. I had to try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe instead of the regular version.
I guess I am done with this part now.
Thanks a ton to you guys. Lets see what AT&T guys have to say about this?
A quick question...

Just a quick question? How do i make sure that my phone is locked and its now under warranty? Is there any software available that can provide us this information? I am sorry if it sounds like a noobs question but i really dont know how to check this before sending it back?
when your phone is off press the camera and the power button at the same time.
Make sure your phone doesnt say "Security Unlocked" at the top or at the bottom right corner it doesnt say Hard-SPL (insert number here) but that its says just "SPL (insert number here) "

Thanks a lot for the reply but I think that i am missing something... I did the following:
1. Turned off the phone.
2. Pressed the camera button and held it there while i pressed the power button (holding both buttons).
But the device started as usual. And i could not see the any such display. The display was the same as if i would have pressed just the power button. Is it possible for you to provide a screen shot of this?
My bad!
Whoopss! I tried it again, and i got the tri color screen which says following three lines in the red strip:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
and following word in the white strip:
Serial
I hope it is fine now?
I got my new Tilt
I got MY new Tilt!
I am Happy
welcome.not
just simply create a 'welcome.not' file on windows open notepad then save it w/out content filename welcome.not make sure that the extention in not welcome.not.txt otherwise it wont work...put the file to sd card root then hard reset by pressing the power button for 10 second then boot again after about 5-10 seconds for safety....gudluck hope this could help you!!
