FrankenKaiser SPL Loader
This is a fast application image downloader which can download e.g. spl or android to the phone when the phone is in dload mode. This can for example be useful for developers to test a SPL from another device w/o the need to flash them
======================================================
DISCLAIMER: This method involves erasing SPL & OS and requires correct data entry by the user. I will not take any responsibility for any malfunctions and or damages caused by using this method and software.
======================================================
Prerequisites:
- a *security unlocked* HTC MSM7x00 device
- QC diag drivers installed (e.g. MotoQ)
This was tested with a Kaiser, Niki and Wings
Steps are:
1 power down
2 hold green send key and power on, the phone will enter radio bootloader (oemsbl)
3 connect with MTTY (COMn) and type "dload" to put phone in dload mode
4 close MTTY, reconnect USB, run my new downloader in a CMD box, e.g. "./FrankenKaiser-SPL-Loader.exe /dev/com4 SPL1.56-KAIS-unbricker.nb (substitute com4 by the com port of your qc diag driver)
5 hold send key and press soft reset with stylus (on phones like Nike this is not possible, in that case you must add "setboot 1" to step 3 before typing "dload" and in step 7 add "setboot 0" before typing "dload")
6 connect with MTTY (COMn) and type "mw 901708 1 e1a00000"
7 type "cego" (press and hold camera to enter tricolor bootloader mode)
Have fun!
may i be one of the first to say Thank you.
jumpspl, supercid and security unlocker, frankenkaiser .. man you are owesome.
A truly gifted individual and thank you for all your hardwork.
Thanks, Jockyw2000, your work really rocks, but...
OEMSPL did not work for me (HTC Wings)
Ive hold down the green button and tapped the PowerButton=>Boots normal.
Offtopic;
My Question is; Is it possible to "Switch" the GPIO 0x5c (Kaiser SimDoor) from 0 to 1 manually?
Because i want to "port" a KaiserRom over to my Wings, but ive getting trouble with this annoying "Sim Door Open, please close it.Phone shuts down in 10 seconds..." warning.

Your Wings is not security unlocked, so you can't enter oemsbl that way.

I'm asking with all due respect. I haven't done it. To be honest I haven't flashed anything with MTTY since I had my Hermes last year but I was under the impression that we could.
If we can't then you have answered my question as the difference is exactly that!
In the quest for knowledge we all sometimes ask apparently dumb questions...
So with this thing I can make my deviece look as a MSM7500. To boot up HaReT all the time???

obviously you can, the RUU uses mtty commands to download the images.
When I run FrankenKaiser-SPL-Loader.exe , WindowsXP closed DOS window with error.
What is wrong ?

i install hard spl unlock device bat after flash complete 100% my phone always go in oemspl can not go in normal bootloader or power on.
Since it doesnt seem as though you unlocked the phone, just download an oem rom/radio combo for the phone from the operator it belongs on ( IE , if it is an ATT TILT, download from HTC the latest rom off their website JUST for the att tilt )
This should fix you up

how to install hard spl without windows running in kaiser?
can i use some Mtty commands to make this possible?
this should probably be posted in the threads pertaining to HardSPL, and to answer your question i think not. you have to run the KaisSSPL/JumpSPL in order to temporarily overwrite the SPL on the device. and you cannot just overwrite it by flashing HardSPL as you would a rom or we would have done that from the get go and have it included on every rom.
my kaiser has some problems and can not load windows , thats why i need to change spl and try to use other soft to recover problem.
i have problem with processor communication via I2C with PM7500 chip.
may be i have to brick it firs deleting boot and going to serial connection with processor? (like command task 2a - but in my spl this command not working)
thank you
actualy there is no issue for you.
you can not change spl without WM6.
i've got the same probleme.
let me know if you find a solution.
i thought that my tytn ii was bricked. now is alive. Read "Radio Hell" threads... check in what status is your tytn ii... (obviously at your own risk)....
first try with "solved radio hell thread", but if you erased all by mistake this thread helped me too:

I LIKE TO BRICK THIS **** AND TO START WITH SERIAL DRIVERS
i take off battery in every second when load rom and no chans for me to destroy stupid boot
I remember loading the original HTC ROM when in deep sh*t trouble... no need to have it booted to OS, only to tricolor screen
then you will boot to OS, install SOFT-SPL, then HARD-SPL and your custom ROM, Radio, splash...
i can not boot to Os , i have never seen OS in this unit

when you turn on the device, what do you see? tricolor screen? or white screen? or
you cannot boot to OS even after flashing a stock official HTC rom?
when turn device it is start load windows, after first screen go melodi which i see in rom named LB (low battery), and phone sw off.
i can load any original rom with success, but same story.
i thing problem is in I2C communication between proc and PM7500 chip , register for batt value is nor readable.
thats why i like to remake soft and take off power controll from it, but can not flash hard spl

Isn't it easier to apply for a warranty replace then?
here in Bulgaria HTC dont have service
Anyway I have seen some note that jocky is going to make the SPL flashable via SD memory card... maybe worth waiting then
BTW have you tried different battery?
Hi. There is something wrong with my phone. When i tried make phone call. It stopped responding. After reset it goes to four color screen with serial word on the bottom. I never flashed this mobile. Now when I try connect to vista it shows massage Usb device Not recognized, same on xp, but serial changes to usb. Please Help
first of all, i'm not an expert
but there are some threads in this forum about it. the only thing i can explain is:
that you're stuck in the bootloader,
the usb vs serial thingie, is that vista makes any usb device like a serial one..
try checking the spl threads and 'stuck' keywords
sorry can't be of more assitance...
anduh, keep calm and relax.. there's a lot of knowledge here.
so keep breathing and don't go paranoid..
gl
you might want to provide us with some more info,
rom version?, if it sais anything more in the RGB screen
and 1 more thing.. tried removing the battery for at least 1 minute.. / removing sd / simcard
on boot screen i have:
KAIS130
SPL-1.81.0000
CPLD-8

emoved sim and memory card
removed battery for 30 minutes.

hi podhal,
1) go to settings of activesync and uncheck 'allow USB connections'
2) or just to make sure, go to task manager and kill the process 'rapimgr.exe' and 'wcescomm.exe'
3) download mtty from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=71806&d=1203597568
4) connect your cable to your kaiser-- it should say 'USB' and not 'Serial' at the bottom
5) choose 'USB' in the drop down list of ports and click 'OK'
6) on the mtty screen press enter key and you should get a cmd>
7) type in 'boot' (without the quotes) and press enter. If it doesn't boot up, paste the output here. DO NOT EXPERIMENT WITH MTTY AND TYPE ANY OTHER THING AS THIS CAN MAKE YOUR PROBLEMS WORSE.
EDIT: do this on you xp machine and not on vista!
HA! Problem solved! something had to be stuck in Usb connector. I just cleaned it with a bit of alcohol. Its a bit odd it went to boot loader just because of usb problem. But thanks for help.

good for you now read and go inside the wonderful world of flashing ROMs, heheh
What you are saying is really interesting. I´m one of the various kaiser users expriencing such problem.
I already did everything you can think of, nothing solved the problem so far. The only thing I didn´t try yet was to completely wipe the kaiser and use frankenkaiser.
Are you sure the problem is solved for you ?!?

Try the frankenkaiser then It's pretty *safe* if you know what you're doing-- did it 3-4 times because I was trying to wipe out bad blocks. Make sure you have the right radio though and an old hardspl before you use it jocky patched the new spls to ignore task 2a command.
pfcsabre,
Did you mean that by wiping the kaiser out with the pre-frankenkaiser commands (task 2a or rtask a) the phone is formatted and the bad blocks are mapped out ?
I really think that my problem is exactly that: a bad block within bootloader area...

well I had 3 bad blocks before, but the problem that I had is my ROM area is writing to that blocks and what's unlucky is the critical parts of the ROM is written there (bad blocks are common, but of all the places.. sheesh) that makes my kaiser just reboot indefinitely. So-- what I did was task 2a and it removed only one, but it was enough to get me flashing flawlessly to any ROM
Nice to know!
Well, since I haven´t frankenkaised my kaiser before, I have a last question:
According to the documented procedure in this thread, there is no task 2a command, instead, in step 2, it is said to issue an rtask a.
Am I right to assume that, if I task 2a my kaiser, I´ll have to pick up from step 3 and on ?
tia!

there is in step 3 task 2a which completely *bricks* the phone. But as it said, you would go through oemsbl which is the radio bootloader and not the spl (os bootloader) anymore since it's wiped out already. Read the whole thread before doing it, it's not for the faint-hearted

spot on but you need to make sure the drivers are there. After task 2a it would detect your kaiser as new hardware etc., so you need to still install the qualcomm drivers from that thread.
Thanks for the help! I have a XP machine set up just to do that
Ok, let´s do it.
pfcsabre, maybe you can help me.
I'm stuck at step 6. I successfully ran frankenkaiser. It asks me to replug the USB cable, and that's when things go wrong. In fact, when I remove the USB cable, the drivers are gone and phone is not recognized anymore when I plug it back (windows says the device is not recognized).
What am I doing wrong ??

sorry mate, just saw your reply.
Maybe you're replugging it too fast, I had that problem also. It kinda takes time before you get it but you're right on track if you ran step 6 with the output
EDIT: I think I know what you did wrong.. I remember that problem before. Are you running the frankenkaiser unbricker radio from hell? if you don't have the radio 1.65.17.10 that won't work. You should ask jocky for the right frankenkaiser unbricker for your radio.
check you later StealthNet, it's 2am and I got to go work in 6 hours. Ta!

if it's not recognized, try installing active sync again "to load usb drivers", and try again
You incorrectly installed the drivers most likely.
But before you use Franken, you need to be sure you are using one compatible with your OEMSBL & Vboot version.
What was your last radio & rom version?
GSLEON,
I PMed Jocky and, unfortunately, I did it wrong. When I read the procedure to use Frankenkaiser, I mistakenly assumed that, since task 2a wipes out the phone, the radio version wouldn't matter.
In fact, Jocky explained to me that it really does, and that Frankenkaiser is tailored to be used with radio from hell only.
My last ROM and Radio version were the ones based on the latest Dutty's (radio 1.65.16.25).
My attempt to "task 2a" my phone was my last attempt trying to solve my colored brick (booting into bootloader everytime I turn on the phone). I think this is being caused by bad blocks into bootloader or radio area.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get out of the hard brick (task 2a) and it will solve my colored brick problem
In fact, if it does work, I think it will be usefull for lots of kaiser users (last time I accounted at least 4 ppl with the same problem).
Thanks for the help!
Before someone comes and flames me for creating a new thread (*hide from DaveShaw*) let me explain:
I have created a Wiki page for users who are stuck at the SPL (a.k.a Bootloader, Tri-Colour screen etc.):
Kaiser_stuck_at_bootloader
This has helped out a number of users who have become stuck at the SPL but every day I see more and more users getting stuck and creating new thread, or going off topic in other threads.
What to do if you get stuck:
Read the Wiki Page and follow the advice: Kaiser_stuck_at_bootloader
If you have tried all the steps in the wiki and still have a problem, read the feedback from other users in this thread and any advice I give out in this thread.
If you are still having problems please post all the details you can about what you have done and what version ROM / Radio / SPL you are running in this thread.

Thanks to much I have learned from Master Jocky_W, I am currently working on hacking o a couple of Jockey's new HardSPL's into MFG variations. This will allow for the checking, formatting & fixing of OS flash memory blocks.
I am just about done I think, & then off to Jock it will go for his comments & keen eye.

Good idea with this thread, congratulations.
Just to add something useful for the thread, here is my tip: (for n00bs, or a "newbie-n00bs" since I consider myself a n00b too )
No matter what, DON'T PANIC.
If your phone boots at least partially (the bootloader starts and shows R/G/D versions) maybe its not that bad
I've flashed few times "bad ROMs" and my phone stucked on bootloader. Luckily none of them was that bad that I couldn't recover from it.
What I do first:
disconnect the phone from anything you had it connected to,
and go into bootloader mode (camera button + reset with stylus).
It will show the tricolor+white screen, SPL version on the top and "Serial" at the bottom.
Plug in your USB cable.
If the "Serial" will change into "USB" at the bottom, you are most likely ready to fix the problem
- so flash your phone with new clean ROM now (I would go with clean stock ROM including radio as well)
oh, and don't worry about the ActiveSync info that may be displayed by the RUU app, because you are already in bootloader mode (RUU or KaiserCustomRUU etc, at first disconnects AS in order to set your phone in bootloader mode, thats why the warnings about AS being "green" etc)
HTH

Have you done the following to get MTTY to work?
* Download mtty.exe
* Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
* Connect your Kaiser to PC using USB cable.
* Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
* Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
* Type the command "boot".
Are you using Vista or XP?
Dave
yes again!
i have disabled usb connections through active synch and killed ALL the mobile processes through task mngr. Still, usb port cannot be opened through mtty!
it's crazy! =[
also, when i plug in my tilt, i get a beep beep beep from my PC saying failure to cconnect to hardware. =[

I'm leaving work now, but can you trying flashing your carrier ROM from the SD card, that might do it.
Also, try the attached MTTY.
If that don't work, can you find a Windows XP Machince and try the normal MTTY method.
Dave
No Luck
Since I can't establish a usb connection I have no way of getting ANYTHING to my tilt.
I can't access my SD card.
MTTY says command error when I say boot.
I don't think MTTY is connecting.
Does my SPL need to be changed?
If so, how do I change it if I can't get a connection to my tilt at all?
I GOT IT!
i TOOK your advice to flash from my SD my naming a rom KAISIMG.nbh and using my PC to put on card. then i just entered bootlader. I flashed a random new rom (not at&t) and it worked in restoring my phone.
I didn't use a stock rom cause my spl didn't match. thanks for all your help man.

nice update! really useful to all kaiser owners.
btw, you wrote:
"This method will not work if RUUNBH is showing and cannot get the OS to boot even once"
I removed second part if you don't mind, the method doesn't need that as a requirement. (and it will actually unset RUUNBH flag too if the loading of the special SSPL and the flash is successful, but for RUUNBH issue this solution is overkill, because for that "set 16 0" is fine.)

First, I’m using the ROM L26KDV12. I used the tweaking program that comes with the ROM and I hit done, the phone said to restart the device to get effective or cancel to restart later but I choose to restart the device. So, the Phone restarted and I stuck in bootloader mode.
I tried to re-flash my ROM L26KDV12 and I got the 100% result in the screen but when I restarted the device it was stuck again in bootloader mode. I tried to update the Radio but got no luck also.
So I decided to update the ROM via MicroSD(Dutty’s Diamond V1.9) and I got 100%(complete result on the screen again) but when I did the last instruction of updating the ROM via MicroSD(to restart the device), my phone goes off and I can’t open anymore..
Please I need help..
Hi ! I have a problem with my Kaiser ! The screen is black, the device doesn't turn on ! But when i hold the power key & soft reset hole at the same time,

Not trying to oversimplify things, but is the device fully charged? Did you have any problems during the flash? Which SPL did you flash? Have you tried a hard reset? Can you get to the bootloader screen to verify the version of SPL installed vs. the version you tried to install?
Just a few questions to help us try to figure out what is going on. Take care!

How are you trying to get to the bootloader screen? Have you fully read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533976
Finally, I would recommend downloading the original ROM and installing it. The ROM for the Tilt is here:
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94
That is straight from HTC's website, and you might look to see if your specific phone is there. You should be able to download it, connect your phone with the USB cable and run the downloaded file from your computer to bring your phone back to it's original state.
If that works, I would then re-read the link above thoroughly and give it another shot. Hope this helps!

When you try to run the original HTC ROM installation program (from my previous post) with your phone connected - does it recognize your Kaiser?

I am not asking what Windows thinks you have connected, or whether or not ActiveSync sees the device. What I am asking is: When you run the original HTC ROM installation program:
"RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe"
downloaded from HTC's website, is that program able to see your phone and go through the installation process?

To access bootloader, you should hold down the camera button (on right side of phone) and the use the stylus to press the reset button (on bottom of phone.) When the phone goes blank, release the camera button.
When you do this, do you still get the blank/black screen?
Also, did you follow EACH step in the following thread:

Okay if you can't access the boot loader then you need to go higher up. I think the chain is Radio Rom, then SPL, then OS. Basically your SPL is gone, that is why your screen is black and you can't get into the boot loader --- cause its gone. So no duh, it can't load the OS. So, your only hope is that your radio rom is working so you can access the phone via cmd interface programmed within it.I really don't know what i'm talking about, but I've bricked my phone too and with some guidance (er explicit instructions in chat) I was (er she was) able to fix it [my situation was far more complicated with a "security locked" device, and a "radio from hell"]. Your key words are frankenkaiser. which you can find here:

Good luck, if you can get into the oemsbl I'm sure your in business. If your feeling nervous bust out the paypal and head to irc.freenode.org #xda-devs {albeit someone will likely help you without the donation but for real your going to hold someone up for an hour or two you should throw them atleast 20$ to save u 200$ }

Thx man , appreciate this !!
Attached you find all you need to flash cooked ROMs on your Dash3G (Maple).
The sspl/hardspl are confirmed to work fine on the HTC Maple platform (Dash3G, SNAP S520, SNAP S521). Any phone that says MAPL1XX under the battery should work just fine with the sspl and hardspl. This has been tested by oOkBa yesterday night. His cooked roms flash extremely fast and he noticed no problems except for the splash screens. Apparently HTC changed the format slightly. Should be easy to tackle and has nothing to do with the sspl/hardspl.
Now for the bad news ... It will not work on the HTC Cedar platform (GSM/CDMA, HTC Ozone XV6175, Verizon). Running the sspl on an Ozone will definitely brick it. Also the HTC Willow platform (SNAP S511, Sprint) is not supported. Please see this post for more info and how you can help.
There are 2 packages both contain a SSPL, HardSPL, patched ROM updater and the original Maple SPL. The first package is based on SPL 1.17 (tested by oOkBa) and the second is based on SPL 1.19 (tested by Gawain1986)
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 "Dash3G 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 "1.17.hard")
5. if you have difficulties to install 1.17 then try 1.19
6. to test the sspl and the hardspl you can flash the attached splash.nbh
Once the HardSPL is installed on your device you can flash any Maple cooked or original ROM.
Have fun,
JockyW

couldnt of said it better myself..
oo..
my Snap 526 is MAPL110..
should i gib it a shot?
but i need a plan b in case something goes wrong.. any idea how to hard reset the snap with the scrollball?
I have the same mapple, ithink it's ok.
before running this file, do we have to dump the rom? and do we have to use the spl backup kit berfore?
(sorry for all these questions)
First of all, there's really no need to run this yet until there are custom ROMS to flash. If you want to simply test or prep, go for it. I can confirm it works in a MAPL100 so I don't see why any other device with MAPL1XX should be an issue. I will build some factory ROMS as well as some custom cooks in the next days for you guys to play with and test.
see i dont think alot of the new people understand the process.
the spl does nothing more than ENABLE ur device for a rom, thats it!
nothing fantastic, its not a completely diff o.s. on ur device..just preps it for whats to come.
what happend with my device today was a fluke!
i was testing and working at the same time..i could have missed a step, one of my work programs on my laptop could have set something off..i dunno.
Bricking usually isnt a part of getting a SPL for a device..just ALOT of testing. SO now is the another part of the process..the waiting process. Waiting for a rom cooker to successfully establish something, test it, and release it.
in this game..u need patience.
So I;ve been trying this and it seems something is going wrong...
Ik run auto.bat, JumpSPL gets copied and started, the device screen goes black, and when I reconnect the USB cable to get the "Smartphone Sync" driver working, my Windows 7 install tells me that there is something wrong with the USB device.
It will then refuse to use any driver I try to add to the device.
Any thoughts?
PS. It's a SNAP S521 (MAPL110)
EDIT: Windows XP x64 has the same problem.

First, this has not yet been tested on Win7. Second, it should not be necessary to unplug and replug the cable. Try again and just wait a minute or so to allow Win7 to install the driver. Other thing you can do to make sure the driver is already installed is to put the phone in bootloader mode and connect it by usb cable.
ps: it is normal the display turns dark after running the sspl
ok, i understand there are 3 steps. but I would like to know how to do the first one:
dumping my rom.
First I entered the bootload by holding the volume down button and turning the device on...
It said:
Code:
MAPL110
SPL-1.19.0000
MicroP-Maple (LED) v6
ENGID 0x2
PCBID 0x80
PanelInfo 15-0x2
I connected it to the computer and it recognised the Qualcomm phone immediately and settled on the HTC USB Sync driver.
Then I restarted the phone and connected it again, ran auto.bat... it ran SSPL again and I waited.
So after I tried waiting for 5 minutes, WIndows 7 did not see a new device, it stayed with it's normal RNDIS driver.
So I took the plunge and ran the RUU, which told me it could not connect to the phone.
I unplugged the phone and replugged it and it said there was an error regarding the USB device.
Can it be that because my SPL version is higher than the HardSPL or SSPL, that it's getting into conflict with itself?
Hi,
First thanx for your hard working.
I got some trouble when trying to install the Hard SPL.
My SNAP from france, S521 Mapl100 under the Battery; Just HTC no operator
I launched the auto.bat
The device display turned dark and tri-color bootloader screen said "1.19.hard
The flashing process start and stuck at 0%
Unplugged the USB and the phone restart well.
Is this Hard SPL
Enter bootloader. If you see "1.17.Hard" the HardSPL is succesfully installed and you can flash any cooked and official roms in the near future.

Ok, if there are similar problems i can try to build a sspl based on 1.19
Please dump it and attach (see first post for the link to the dump kit)
To anyone who has problems, please look up your current SPL version.
(press volume down and power on).
Is there anyone who succesfully flashed the HardSPL where the old SPL version was 1.18.00 or higher?

Try the attached sspl which is based on your v1.19 SPL.
Run sspl.bat (preferrably in XP)
I'm sorry, but the new 1.19 SSPL is not working either. The phone stays in the black screen and both Windows XP x64 and Windows 7 x86 keep telling me the USB device is malfunctioning.
I have had some experience with unlocking my previous Tornado, VOX, Kaiser and X1 and I'm pretty sure I need to see a tri-color scren when invoking JumpSPL.
So maybe that's the problem?
