Almost giving up - Impossible to flash my Tytn II - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

Hello,
I've tried flashing my Kaizer by all different ways I could, but no way to make it work. I've downloaded a lot of different ROMs (Alex, Dutty, VIET, etc), but I always get stuck in the same point. Either in Vista or XP, RUU always stops with ERROR [262] and the phone after the three-color screen, get in blank with a bar in 0% and gets stuck.
So, I've tried flashing via microSD. No better luck on that; even using different SDs, I always get stuck in a Loading... message in the phone, and nothing happens.
I've read a lot of forums and done all suggestions such as not using Anti-Virus, Firewall, etc and formatting SD as FAT32.
One interesting thing is ActiveSync (and WMDC in Vista) simple "dies" after the phone goes to the Three-color screen so it sounds the "new hardware found" sound but no new hardware seems to become available. I always can soft reset it and my old ROM (and configs) come back, so nothing seems to be done to phone's ROM.
This Kaizer was bought in the US (Amazon.com), unlocked, in Feb/08. I had some rare Freezing Problems on it (freezes while idle).
Today's config:
WM 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM 1.82.721.0 WWE
Radio 1.27.15.32
Thank you in advance for any ideas on flashing this phone.
Regards. RB.

I'm assuming you've RTFM'd, but nowhere do you mention that you have installed Hard-SPL.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
Done?

You should probably do more research and reading. Start with the Wiki and specially HardSPL search for it. The answers are in here you just need to search. Welcome to the forum and this is not a spoon fed forum but rather put your time in the research before you brick your phone. HOPE YOU WON'T GET FLAMED....

What about HardSPL?

Thank you for fast replies.
I've also tried HARDspl, my efforts went there when nothing worked. I could make HARDspl run some code in my phone (had to hit "Continue" on phone's screen), but I got a freeze blank screen instead of the Three-color/USB screen.
So, I've forced the Three-color screen by reseting the phone (and got the USB sign), but the HARDspl's updater got, again into ERROR [262]. Ok, I didn't believe this was goig to work anyway, but tried it (considered safe to try).
I have tried HARDspl from a Vista PC, I'll try again from a XP box. I'll also read more on HARDspl.
So, as you can seen not even HARDspl seems to be workimg in my case...
Thanks. Regards. RB.

sigh.......why do i even bother.........
HardSPL will not install - WHITE SCREEN: SOLVED
try to guess where i found that link

Do a search for HardSPL white screen. There's a thread in this very forum about it freezing on a white screen.
I think I remember some issues with it on Vista, but I don't have Vista, so I don't pay attention.
You must HardSPL first. Search for HardSPL and whatever issue you're having, and I bet you can find a resolution and have it unlocked inside of ten minutes.
Xtreme_G took the time to search and post a link, and still managed to beat me to it. Bastard.

i guess you need a heavy paper weight so keep flashing without installing hardspl or without reading and searching ...

Have I bricked my Kaiser

Hi,
Was changing the ROM on my Kaiser, using JUMPspl as I had got the white screen using Hardspl. During the upgrade got an error at about 18%, went through the recovery procedure only to get back to the Bootloader screen with the screen saying
SPL-1.93.0000
I think it should say something different here!
At the moment can only get the the tri-colour bootloader screen with usb at the bottom.
Please any help would be much appreaciated.
Thanks
If you are at the tri-color bootloader screen, reflash a ROM.
that's where the process starts at anyhow,the bootscreen.
But doesn't the SPL have to be either Hardspl or jumpSPL.
I have tried to do the rom update again but sticks on 0% and gives error 262

Not advisable if he has the default SPL still though which by the number appearing at the tri col screen it appears to be the case.
Try doing a hard reset and see if it boots into the original ROM then at least you will find out if it is bricked or not, however, i'm not sure it will work based on the fact you got part way through in the first place.
Hold down the keys directly next to the Send and End (green and Red) Hold in the stylus and keep them all held untill you get a screen telling you to press the green (send) key.
Tried the hard reset, takes me back into the bootloader. Any other ideas?
Hmm... ok then.... you are pretty much looking at a very expensive paperweight at this moment in time then.
Look at this thread...it "may" (i'm not promising anything but it may point you in the right direction) help you out. Let us know how it goes.

Hate to joint the parade, but the exact same thing happened here - 18% now stuck at 1.93.0000
For anyone else reading this BEFORE flashing a new ROM please read, read and read again EVERYTHING related to flashing on this site, wikis and wherever else you can get info.
Another idea for you. Search around here for how to flash from an SD card that may solve the issue out for you. As previously noted though....READ READ READ and be 110% certain you understand what you are doing before you do anything.

Will Mtty get me any further?
MTTY will at least give you a USB connection to the device it is worth a shot given your current situation.
There is hope!
I did a clean reboot of my PC and disabled my antivirus (avast) and was able to sucessfully reflash the new 1.62 rom (released from ATT site today).
Thanks will try the new 1.62 rom.
What commands can you use with MTTY?
tried the At&t rom gives me an error on the vendor id. Will try a HTC rom
I have tried multiple roms and they all give me the same error Error 294:Invalid Vender ID
Any ideas
Am starting to get worried because if the misses finds out that I have bricked the new phone, I am up to my neck i it.
If you are stuck in boot loader & would like some help via MSN Messenger, please PM me or look for me on MSM messenger at [email protected]. I will be available to help later this evening or tomorrow morning.
I have most of the files to fix these issues & can use MSN fileshare folders to help you.

Invalid Vendor I.D. is cuz it's locked.
Had the exact issue myself and found a ATT ROM that will boot. It saved me bigtime, so I saved it. It's in one of the posts on one of the threads but I have the actual ROM, it'll overide that lock.- PM me if ya need it.
Got the same solution, Holy S**t about to have a heart attack. Tried nearly ever ROM out there, it was the Asia one that got me going.
Lesson learned: make sure you Hardspl after jumpspl.
Thanks for all the help folks
Glad ya got it fixed. One quick question?
Is your original ROM ATT or HTC ?
It is a HTC ROM. Done My Hardspl and got Sleuth v3.0 on it already
Happy days

RUU error (262) update error

Hello guys...
Iam not new, and i have already flashed my first(it was wasted not by my fault)KAISER, it was one year ago and i did it with HARDSLPv1, and lately added some new roms cooked by sakajati(respect)...
Yesterday i bought new one(but one year old) so i tried to flash him as well, i have used HARDSPL 1.93, and then i tried to put Sakajati"s 4th feb ROM, but i come across one big trouble, everytime i try to put it on i encounter the same RUU error:
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
what to do...????
i am very afraid that i destroyed my Kaiser...???
what it means that Wince is destroyed...
Please help me, i am desperate...
Iam not new,

But the solution could be found here (search)
If you see the tri color screen everythng is ok, just win mobile is destroyed. Try to flash a rom from your sd card
Thank you very much...
I hope it will work, i really did search for about an hour and tried to put rom on sevral times, but i didnt find nothing 100% secure, i dont want to indanger the unit any more that i did...

Part of the problem is that 1.93 is a jump spl and should be used to upgrade to Hard spl 3.29 or 3.56, not as an spl on its own. You need to run jump spl 1.93 from your device and make sure you are connected to your computer, when you see the bootloader you need to unplug your USB, count to 10 and plug your USB back in then flash a hard spl to your phone! Again 1.93 is not a Hard Spl by itself, it is only a middle man to flash a Hard Spl.
I think the best would be to flash a stock rom at first, cause therefore you don't need an other bootloader. Then flash Hardspl (3.29 if you have a kaiser or 3.56 if you have a tilt) and then flash any rom you want
i obviusly have a lot to learn, mate how do I asses if I have TILT or KAISER, what is the main difference...
[email protected]: i have already DL the stock rom before i posted the tread, i hoped on that resolution if there were no answer...
in about 10 hours from now i will get my hands on my tilt/kaiser and hope to arranged the mess i done; I drop by in any case at that time and notify you about condition and my successes...
p.s.:sorry for my poor english...

It realy doesnt make that much of a difference, I have a tilt and I use 3.29 and I would recomend it to anyone over 3.56 so flash either one, they will both work! And your english is great so no need to say sorry!

A Tilt is a At$T branded Kaiser, a TyNT II is a HTC branded Kaiser. Tilt has a different keyboard and OEM rom., only differences. People say use 3.56 if you have a Tilt because that is an AT$T Spl, but I use 3.29 on My Tilt and it works great so it doesn't really matter.
hey...
nothing seems to work...
I have tried to put default rom dl from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs but the problem is that it is not bootable from SD, that has to be because the USB conection isnt on (i selected the 3.34.721.2) so i given up that way
Then i flashed the HARD spl 3.29(have kaiser) via SD steb by step first with this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835; and it dint go through
so i tried with this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683
it didnt work either, they are the same I know(noticed later);
So problem is that i stuck at WHITE screen that says "LOADING..."
nothig else...???
finally i manage to load/boot the htc rom from xda-wiki site, but i have to chose another one

Hey man, nice to see that your device rewakes, you can flash every rom from sd card, simply rename the nbh file to kaisimg.nbh than restart into bootloader and it will automatically take the one from the card
Unfortanly, althought i would like you to be right, you are not. When i tried to do it via SD, i stuck at white screen saying LOADING...(blue) and nothih further... and i tried also the Cmonex_s Hard SPL3.29_SD which also stucks at same screen
So now (after updatig with default rom) that i have basicly normal working device i startet from the top. Using @mskip"[email protected] tutorial called: Flasing your first rom (for noobs); it all goes well, till i start to update RUU(sakajati 4 feb) if it matters, and i tried both (spls 1.56 and 1.93), it stops updatig at 17% and notrhin else then works just puting back the HTC default rom from wikiXDA side(thank god for that)
i am thinking of MTTY, although i dont know what it does guys here almoste all say it fix bad rom flash, but i am not sure if thats my main problem, i rahter think it has something with spls...
if someone has some good advice i will be very grateful...

Hi,
I couldn´t flash my Kaiser via SD at the first time and tried something that worked.
The SD´s are formatted in Fat16 usually, try to format to Fat32... It seems like a stupid thing, but worked for me.
Reagards and good luck.
SD must be formated FAT32, to work, also I sugest a smal card, 512 or something like that, SHDC usual doesn't work
I have 1GB SD and its not shdc, so thats ok.and i have done it right now, like you two guys said so i formated it with FAT32 but still no succes.
I guess that this tree lines in red/green/blue screen arent right:
KAIS130
SPL-3.02.0000
CPLD-8
i thing this SPL has to da something to do with all this mess a have done
I have flashed a couple of roms( i had three devices) and i flashed a few for my friends and all was OK till now, and i dont know what else to do...

Yes, you still have a stock spl on there. It needs to be hard spl'd before you flash anymore. Check out the stickies at the top of the forum.
hi again...
Well, I respect the "rules" of forum, thats why i wouldnt ask for insructions that are already written(thanks for the authors) with that i mean stickys, because i read them, almost all...
But I still tried once again, and I came across the same thing, i stuck at 17% when loading RUU or if i choose the VIA SD i stuck at white screen with blue text saying (LOADING...)...
nothing else helps than loading the dafault ROM by HTC... as i already said once again...
if i manage to solve the problem i will be in touch; what do you thing about MTTY
Edit 1:
i have done everything as it says in the instruction, and just like some of you "replyed" me...
but i always stuck at 17%when loading RUU, when i flash it with SPL 1.56 or 1.93 i never get stuck at white screen it always apeare the mentioned SPLs nimbers and some other text in yellow but when i then load RUUs i stuck at excatly 17% nothing less nothing more
edit 2:
yupi....yupi
i made it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061 here is my lifesavior...
those instruction were the one that helped my problem...
it is very nice to ba a part of this community....

I've tried, searched, think I'm just stupid.

As the title says, I seriously think I am just being stupid. But I have just spent the last 5 hours searching, trying, and just about anything I can. But I can't seem to get anything to work.
Now on to my situation:
I just got a new Tilt, it is not my first. My first one was when it first came out for AT&T. So it was still the WM6Pro and I SIM CID and HardSPL'd it. So I do know how to do this stuff. Just now with this new one, it must be a newer one, because it came with WM6.1 on it.
Here is what I know I have on it. Bootloader shows this.
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.0000
CPLD-8
And this is when the AT&T logo pops up.
R 1.65.21.18
G 25.88.40.05H
D 3.57.00.00
Now the first thing I am trying to do is HardSPL it.
I swear I have tried everything.
First thing I tried was the simple, Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer , I start with the Flash-HardSPL and get to the Bootloader saying USB with the Rom updater showing the status bar. Then with the phone still in bootloader, I get Error [260] : Connection, The Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA. and so on.
So I exit that. Go on to the next try.HardSPL v3.07-3.56
All of them end up as the same result as the first. But I will explain what V3.28 as I have heard and read that that is one of the best ones to use.
Get to bootloader, Computer monitor shows status bar, and phone shows status bar. And I wait for it to do anything and then maybe a minute or two it gives me an error. Error [262] : Update Error, The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. and so on for recovery.
I've also tried to do the HTC Kaiser Hard-SPLv1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device (4 free)
When I start this one up it gets me to my screen being completely white. and I can not continue after that without taking the battery out and starting the phone again.
I have also tried other things that I just cant remember right now, cause I have been trying to do this for so many hours, and downloaded so many different things. So if you can and may help me, anything and everything will be appreciated beyond the gratitude I can give. Once again, I do know what I am doing, but I do not know what I am doing ARGHHH! lol.
I think you need JumpSPL1.56-KAIS, then hardspl , Im assuming this because you didnt say you did this step in your post.

Nope, I didn't have to. My tilt came with 6.1. I had some problems, ended up switching to an XP laptop, was using Vista(prem. sp-whatever). It's too late here, but maybe tomorrow I can figure out what I did, but I think the main thing was using a windows XP pro machine - don't know if it needed to be pro, but that's what I had. Thereafter I've used the vista machine without problem. Good luck.

Meh, you need to use JumpSPL first. I've had this happen before, and JumpSPL cleared it right up for me.
I think Jocky has a few you can use. Check his HardSPL thread.
I first tried to use Vista, but then went back to my xp machine.
Edit :
I've tried to the JumpSPL but had major brain damage last night. trying it again with a fresh day. Will let you know.
Just got it, thanks guys. I apologize for just being completely brain dead. But I really am happy that you guys helped out. I finally got it flashed with the HardSPL It was really easy now. I just could not remember how to get to the file explorer. And the JumpSPL 1.56 worked. Thanks!
Yeah, well I can NEVER find anything via search here. Hell, to prove that point, I just typed "stupid" in the subject search line and found: NOTHING!!! I don't know what the deal is, but I've just pretty much given up searching this site.
Which leads to more reading than I'd typically care to do.

HTC Snap 511 (Willow): SSPL, HardSPL and original SPL by JockyW

Attached you find all you need to flash cooked ROMs on your HTC Snap 511 (Willow).
The sspl/hardspl are confirmed to work fine on the HTC Willow platform (HTC Snap 511).
It will not work on the HTC Maple platform (Dash3G). Running this sspl on a Dash3G will definitely brick it. Also the HTC CEDAR platform (Ozone) is not supported. For the Dash3G and Ozone I have already developed a sspl/hardspl.
The packages contains a SSPL, HardSPL, patched ROM updater and the original Snap S511 SPL. The package is based on SPL v0.34
Instructions:
1. remove SD and SIM cards (don't forget otherwise the sspl is likely not to work!!)
2. connect your device to your pc with a USB cable and wait until it is synced
3. extract the file "Snap S511 HardSPL by JockyW.zip" and execute "auto.bat"
4. follow all instructions given on screen: first the sspl is copied to the device and executed. You must confirm running JumpSPL on the device: first time you must click Yes to allow it to run, you also must click the trackball to continue execution of JumpSPL. The device display will turn dark and after that the romupdate tool will install the hardspl on your device. (the identification string in the tri-color bootloader screen is "0.34.Hard")
5. to test the sspl and the hardspl you can flash a splash screen
Once the HardSPL is installed on your device you can flash any cooked or original ROM.
A donation for my work would be highly appreciated
Have fun,
JockyW
PS: Moderators please make this a sticky. Thanks.

Donation has been sent. Thank you for this.
Good work!!!!
Thanks Jocky, sending you good vibes and tips!
Once we install the hardSLP on the sprint snap, which cooked roms can we use? Are we going to need one specially cooked for the snap 511?

Raleigh, NC. My next vacation isn't till the week of Christmas though, so maybe someone else can step up in the meantime. I'll also be out of the office again for a week in the spring.
first off, thanks so much to Jocky and Ookba for all the work you guys do! but i'm having some issues. i've dont a lot of searching on here and i can't find a solution hopefully someone can help me. i can't get the hardspl to run successfully.
my bootloader screen shows this:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B
i'm using windows 7 (through VMWare on my iMac), everything seems fine until the pop up on the phone, i click the button (the not really a trackball button) and the screen goes black, i lose all connectivity through WMDC and the Rom Utility gets error 266.
If i don't click when the pop up shows on the phone, the Rom Utility will show and then the phone will go into the bootloader with USB written in the white area then i get the error 266 again.
of course there's no sim because it's a Sprint s511, and the sd card is always removed.
what can i do? i'd really love to get 6.5 on there, but i'm at a loss.
The fact that your running on a MAC with VMWare makes me think the issue could be in the connection...
Im not even sure if Win7 works, i could be wrong however. You wouldnt happen to know of anyone that has a WinXP machine would you?
I did try in vmware with XP and Activesync, but it did the same things. I have a Dell that I was gonna make a hackintosh, but I'm gonna throw xp on it and try using that machine. I was thinking it was the vmware too, i guess i just wanted one of you guys (you know, the one's with a clue! LOL) to confirm.
I applied the HardSPL to my snap using Windows 7 and everything went well

Thats what it sounds like... Good to know it works on Win7 though SPIK3.
Thanks Black_V!per for responding and all. I did finally get it going! I set up the dell with XP and it actually didn't work at first. I had originally unRARed the package on the iMac and just copied the unarchived folder over to the XP machine, thinking it would save me a download, but it didn't work. So i just dl'd an RAR utility for windows and unpacked the RAR on the xp machine and it worked perfect. originally the Rom Updater said it couldn't find the nbh file. all's well! And i'm loving 6.5!!
Thanks again Jocky and Ookba!!!

Must have corrupted during the download... Havent seen that since my 56k-days.
Glad to hear that!
First off, I appreciate everyone's hard work throughout this whole process.
Unfortunately I am running into a problem. The auto.bat is able to copy the JumpSPL file and the .nb file to my phone just fine. However once the Rom Update Utility starts the flashing process, the phone shuts off.
I did a hard reset to my phone, and went through the process again. The JumpSPL notice popped up on the screen, but then crashed when I hit OK. I know it crashed because the Windows Error Reporting popped up (which apparently I had disabled before I did the hard reset, so I never was able to tell if it was still running).
So then I manually ran the JumpSPL file. This time the memory box popped up, so I hit OK with the Jump Address at the default 0x00000000. It then asked which SPL file I wanted to use. I chose the .nb that was copied over. Then the Windows Error Reporting screen showed up again.
I'm not sure what is going on, but hopefully the details I just provided will allow someone to figure something out. Thanks.
BTW: My phone is a Sprint HTC Snap S511, and my splash screen is the same as the one posted before:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B

Is your phone applications unlocked? When I did mine it gave me a bunch of errors because it wasn't applications unlocked. Also make sure you remove your memory stick.

How would I go about checking this?
I remember on my Samsung Ace, before the 6.1 update, I had to install an "application unlocker" that allowed unsigned programs to install. Is this the same thing with the Snap? Also this is the Sprint version, so I don't have a Sim card, or anyway to typically "unlock" this phone.
EDIT: Ah, now I know what you mean. I found the SDA Application Unlock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563761
The Rom Update Utility finished successfully! Now to move on to the next step... Thank you SPIK3
No problem, glad I can help.

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!

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.
