How to fix trashed bootloader?

All,
Somehow my bootloader got trashed while swapping memory cards and I'd like to easiest fix to get it going again. (At Tri-Color screen) If I plug it in and run RUU_Kaiser_Cingular_WWE.exe (I'm running nonbloat Tilt rom) it'll start the upgrade, stop at about 1%, but the phone will boot and everything is there. So I'm just looking for a quick way to make it stick so I don't have to do that anymore..
I'll play with cooked ROMs soon, everything is working GREAT for the time being and I don't wanna reinstall!
Thanks all!

Doesn't sound like you have HardSPL installed but this should fix your problem (at least your issue sounds very similar) ... after you get it fixed you should consider installing HardSPL.
Credit to pof for the instructions below which were part of his now dead SSPL thread for Kaiser:
For those of you had the phone stuck in bootloader mode after flash with SSPL stopping at 16%, follow these instructions to unbrick your phone:
1. Download mtty.exe
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
3. Connect your Kaiser to PC using USB cable.
4. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
5. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
6. Type the command "boot", you should see something like this:
Code:
Cmd> boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
No card inserted
OSSIReadBack ++
Read SI data from flash success
tail signature match
Checksum match
UserStorageSIPreload ++
After that device should boot WM6 again, you can now re-enable USB connections in activesync and flash HardSPL

Good Luck

Ahhh!
I didn't find it in the Kaiser forum, but in the Hermes wiki!
Seems that I just had to connect via mtty (to USB, not a COM port! ) then just issue a: set 14 0
Then did a soft reset and all was well!
Back in business!
Now, maybe I'll start playing with some ROMS!
Thanks again!

should've read further. You'd of seen my post on Different SPL's & their different command capabilities.
For 1.93 SPL you can issue cmd>task 8
You need to install hardSPL once you get it going, because you DON'T have it know.

Tilt / HardSPL solution not working for display driver 1.82.00 Kaiser

First of all, I wish to say thanks to jockyw2001 for coming up with a solution for all those 1.56/1.57 Tilts. You guys all got a Merry Christmas... you lucky SOBs. Haha
However, there are newer versions of the Kaiser/Tilt coming out with 1.82.00 display versions and the current fix for 1.56/1.57 do not work. They get to the WSOD and stall.
I may be one of the first to have a 1.82.00 phone - I understand that it is the latest version put out by HTC, but I won't be the last. So I am hoping that jockyw2001 reads this thread and will continue to work on finding solutions for these newer versions of the Kaiser.
@jockyw2001
I've got a bounty for you if you can figure this one out... I need to switch from Traiditonal Chinese (which my phone came with) to the WWE ROM to be able to use this phone. Thanks a bunch beforehand!

Mike some questions:
1. did you try 1.93 (i posted in the original thread)?
2. do you see tri-color with any of the versions you tried?
3. do you see "USB" on the display after a few seconds? If yes with which version?
4. do you see "unrecognized device" after unplug and replug usb cable? or do you see MS sync device in device manager?
5. do you have MTTY up and running?
Note that you should always run the SSPL with USB cable connected!!

Answer to your questions...

A1. I did try 1.93 and I still got WSOD, I lost USB connectivity at that point
A2. No tri-color screen with 1.56, 1.93 or the original HardSPL v1
A3. I do not see "USB" anywhere, the connection goes dead at WSOD
A4. No and no.
A5. I got MTTY 1.42 and tried it, but I'm not sure I'm using it correctly. I'll have to re-read some posts for that.
Thanks for the followup. I'll try and figure out MTTY and get back to you on this.

Thanks for the well wishes... I have faith in these guys based on the body of work that is available here. Almost every HTC phone ever made has been hacked so I know it's a matter of time before they get this one sorted out.

Hi dear,
I have the same problem.
During the installation of Hardspl on my new Tilt, the PDA doesn't go in Bootloader mode (3 colors screen) but stop it in a white screen......and I can only make a soft reset to continue to use it.
I have read something about these new version of Kaiser but I need to reflash my Tilt.
Is there someone who know the way to resolve this problem?
I'll post my Boot version shortly....
Thanks and regards
Daniele

I have a 1.57 (from the ROM version in Device Information, right?) Tilt that's new (stock at&t ROM without the customizations). I get the WSOD using both the methods of doing the HardSPL. I was hoping to start fooling around with my new toy!
I'll re-read the forum, but my experience seems consistent with the people in this thread.

If I have some time left today I will post another patched SPL.
Oh yeah it *does* cost time ya know ...

You wouldn't happen to be able to pull your existing Traditional Chinese ROM off of that their badboy would you?
I'd really like getting my hands on a chinese ROM for the IME.

Please try the attached file. Follow the instructions exactly!!
The only thing I'd like to know is if display is tri-color and if "USB" appears.
Don't do anything else with it!
- download the attached file
- REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
- connect usb cable
- copy sspl-1.16-test-on-kaiser.exe to your device and run it (leave usb cable connected!)
- screen should be tri-color and after a few seconds "USB" should appear on the display

display is tri-color and "USB" appears

I guess I'll have to go check some threads about how to dump the ROM on the Kaiser. I thought I saw an HTC traditional chinese ROM on one of the links for the Kaiser though. I'll have a look. If not, I'll do my best to dump this bad boy for you.

Hi there,
I just tried your new test file on my 1.57 Tilt and followed your instructions exactly. It worked. I get the tri-color screen and it says USB on it. It also says:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.16.Jump
CPLD-0
Thank you for your efforts... no more WSOD!
So, is that it or is there another step? I'm not sure.

With this 1.16 do you see "unrecognized device" after unplug and replug usb cable? or do you see MS sync device in device manager?
Can you also try with 1.93 from this post please.

I followed your instructions to the letter but still ended up on WSOD. After about 15 seconds the USB connection times out and dies. Back to the drawing board
Michael

Just for info, I noticed this thread whilst looking for a solution to my WSOD, my Kaiser is 1.88.00.00 - (UK Orange) I used the JumpSPL1.56-kais on mine, and it worked fine, Tri-Color - USB, then installed
Also, I can tell you that so far, I have been unable to SIM-unlock via IMEI-Unlock.

After unplug and replug of the usb cable, please check if there is a microsoft usb sync device in device manager
Have you ever tried a hard reset and then run a SSPL?

Let's see... when I unplugged the USB cable and re-plugged it, Vista detected a new device and started installing a USB Sync driver. I think it finished. Actually Windows Update decided there was a new HTC Sync driver available for me, but it didn't successfully install. I'll try the next step.

Since your device is on the boot loader program, the Activsync is not running at all, it's not possible to to sync with PC's activesync.
It's very normal to see the gray activiesync icon in PC.
I think you are ready to flash the custom ROM. Just run the ROM flash program and start to flash new ROM, if you install the hardspl correctly, it will start to flash, otherwise, you will get errors.

Kaiser Flah SSPL 16% and it stops!!!

I tried it also to flash to another rom. But at 16% it stops and i dont now why but i cant repair the rom. When i reboot the kaiser phone he comes directly in bootloader mode.
The do nothing anymore, i tried to flash from sd or mtty. Nothing works.
By mtty, i get the error that the command boot is a false command.
So i think my phone is really ****t up. this is really the firt time in 3 years my phone stops and i cant find solutions on XDA.
I can found only this tread with :
For those of you had the phone stuck in bootloader mode after flash with SSPL stopping at 16%, follow these instructions to unbrick your phone:
1. Download mtty.exe
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")

But it won't work.
I hope somebody can help me a litlle.
Greeting Thetmar.

are you trying to flash a rom using sspl-kais.exe?? and then it got stuck at 16%??

Why you dont use hard spl??
have you read the wiki first before flashing your device??
carefull with mtty...can brick your phone forever
cheers

I'v used mtty ande the command set 16 0.
And my phone is working again perfectly, only i can't get another rom on it!! I't stuck on 0% with all the spl versions. And the computer says 260 communication error.
I think i go back to the shop and ask for another phone.
My buddy has no problem to flash it. And i had the same phone and have bseveral problems.
Many many downloads and software on this site but i think i tryed almost everything.
Already thanks for saving my phone

error 260 is an open port error, you can try changing usb ports, rebooting your pc, turning off firewalls/antivirus
and you still did not answer me, are you using sspl to flash your phone??? i seriously doubt there is anything wrong with the phone.

Rom flash went terribly bad - your advice is needed

Hello,
Today i bought the kaiser and wanted to rom flash it to 6.1
My plan is to flash it to L26KDTLB6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2574491&posted=1#post2574491) i've followed the instructions here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2261226&postcount=2
and the flash was in progress but cancelled after 14% due to communication problems (????)... now when i resettred my kaiser i see this weird red green blue and white screen.
I am terribly worried i might have ruined my kaiser even before really using it.
I am begging you for help.. i would appreciate any kind of help from you guys.
Thank you so much
MIke.

Wow! Sounds like you are in deep doodoo. I had almost an identical problem last night trying to flash ROMeOS 4.7. I went and read the stickies at the top of this forum and was back up running in no time.

Sounds like you did not HardSPL. The tri color screen you are seeing is called bootloader. It's not as scary as it might seem at first. When you connect yoru device to your computer does it still show the letters "USB" at the bottom? If so, try flashing the stock rom for your device and see if that will fix your problem. After that be sure to make sure you've properly hardspl'd your device before flashing anything else.

HOW COME YOU KNOW HOW TO WRITE BUT YOU CAN'T READ?
geez...

I had the same problem once. I remember I solved it that I first flashed it back to the OEM that came with it, and then flashed it again. It worked. Hard SPL and CID unlocker helped being that the phone was locked.
If you dont have OEM OS you can always find one here, just use the Search button.
Secondly, you have to follow the steps exactly as instructed because those are the only way to successful flashing. Are you sure that you didnt overlook one of the steps?
Pay special attentiton to the 2nd Q&A and also other Q&A being that there are all the answers.
Happy flashing mate.

Hello all,
I was able to revert back to hTC'S 6.1 rom...So everything was back to normal.

Do NOT flash another rom until you have hard spl'd your device. Make sure you check out the thread at the top of this forum, which you already sited once. You should also consider sim/security unlocking your device as well. You can ONLY use jumpspl to put hardspl on your device. Absolutely do not start flashing roms until you can enter bootloader and next to spl: see "hard spl" somewhere in the title.

Hi
Ok, here's what i've done to prepare the device
1) i ran kaiser-HardSPL.exe and loaded the nbh that came with it
2) I copied SSPL-KAIS.exe to the kaiser and ran it
thats it... i didn't however see hard spl in the title.. i did see JUMPspl though

you are so making this too hard on yourself. Follow these directions to the letter and you'll be fine:
How to Install 3.2x.Hard SPL:
1. Plug the device into your PC
2. Copy Jump/Soft to your device. use JumpSPL If you have the "White Screen" issue, if you don't, you can use SSPL-KAIS.exe.
3. Take out your SD card & SIM Card.
4. Run Jump/Soft SPL on your device
5. Wait for the bootloader screen to appear and "USB" to show.
6. Right-click activesync, go into connection settings and ensure Allow USB Connections is unchecked
7. Unplug your device from the USB port, wait 5 - 20 seconds, plug it back in.
8. Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe and flash the SPL
If you have problems with the above process, try this:
1a. download the attached files
1b. pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step *is* important)
1c. connect your PC to phone with a USB cable
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe
4. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the phone display
5. unplug and replug the usb cable
6. deselect "Allow USB connections" in Activesync connection settings
7. now flash hardSPL (run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from flash-hardSPL.zip on your PC)
Notes:
With the JumpSPL you should *not* flash radio roms, OS roms or full roms. The JumpSPL is only needed to flash a HardSPL (or SPL)
the link to the thread in which this came from is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
Having just redone this this morning to revert back to 3.29, I can confirm that it works.
In the future, please don't start a thread for this type of porblem. We all starte out by reading. I've been a part of this forum for 3 years and learned all I have from just reading and asking questions that could not otherwise be answered.

you did not read the instructions correctly. Try reading them again.
It says:
How to Install 3.2x.Hard SPL:
1. Plug the device into your PC
2. Copy Jump/Soft to your device. use JumpSPL If you have the "White Screen" issue, if you don't, you can use SSPL-KAIS.exe.

6. Right-click activesync, go into connection settings and ensure Allow USB Connections is unchecked
7. Unplug your device from the USB port, wait 5 - 20 seconds, plug it back in.
8. Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe and flash the SPL
You are stopping at step 5. Perform steps 6, 7, & 8. After that time you can soft reset the device while holding down the camera button (that will take you to the tri colored bootloader screen) and it will say "hardspl" if you have done it correctly.
If you don't read more closely you WILL break your phone and nobody here will be able to help you. These procedures are easy enough to follow if you take your time and read. I only say this to save you a great deal of frustration when your phone dies later.
Also, remember in the future that all the information you are seeking is readily available if you look for it. Dont' expect someone to GIVE you the answer, and please please please....post your questions in a thread that is already around rather than starting a new one!

@ Scothua
like the way you think . . .

scotchua,
Thank you for your assistance. i've finally upgraded my rom.
thank you all.
