hi guys i know u will say use the search button,but ive done all that and still lost.
i downloaded l26 rom and now do i just install it after ive got the sbl thingy or what has it tto be. its totally different to the exec way.i got a little bit scared when i was reading all about the problems.did it with the exec but the stellar is brandnew and worryed i might bugger it.
cheers in advance
Hi, i have the stellar from O2 as well and have sucessfully flashed many roms, first though you need to use JumpSpl to load HardSpl booter then flash the hardSpl system file which will prevent bricks, this is relative safe. Make sure you have the latest HardSpl for newer roms because some wont flash properly otherwise. I use Duttys new 1.6 rom which is fast and stable. First read the stickies
SSPL and all the techie stuff:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
Use v3.56
Guide to kaiser and rom cooking etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282
Then have fun flashing new roms.
right sooo i download jumpspl to stellar then hardspl,open and job done then i can drop on a rom like doing the exec.sorry for being so bloody thick.lol
wish we could have a thread like...
download this file ++++++++ to device then open then do x,y,z
instead of ...
download this link to here then open this here unplug phonethen plug back in and so it continues.making the instructions easy would i think stop all the worrying and asking from us so called noobs

So are you saying the Wiki is not easy to understand? Nothing about flashing the Kaiser is difficult. If you are having trouble understanding the steps, then I don't think you're ready for a phone such as the Kaiser.
i just get lost with it all iam a thick yorkshireman.i think its just me reading to much into it all.
It takes a good 3 hours or so to get to a point where you understand how to do it, but once you do it once all following flashes are DEAD easy.
The main issue I had was SIM unlocking my Orange TyTNII to get it so I could flash a new radio to it.
Once you have all the tools, it's really quite straightforward.
that is what i mean.its understanding it all,could be good to do a pdf so it can be printed out step by step.

The wiki does contain what you need, Start here and read these steps: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading it covers the basics a few times over.

right guys i think ive done it i installed the hardspl then loaded up l26 rom.took me all afternoon to get the idea but i think its done.iam sory if ive pissed you off.but it was dong my head in and needed to get my head round it so iam sorry once again.
dont think i was disrepecting anyone when i said anything, i wasnt you guys are very very good at what you do. ooooh l26 diamond splash screen
now a htc logo thats different to the o2 one i had now the tier install.
looking good at this point.

The dreaded 95% error... He's right. Your Wizard is still CID locked.
Follow this thread to get your device CID unlocked and then try flashing WM6 again.

If only we were all so rich... When I first started, I downloaded a WM6 Rom I found on this forum but read nothing... Tried to flash it, phone went to bootloader immediately afterwards and would do nothing else. I called T-Mobile and they sent me to the place on T-Mobile.com where I could get the official Rom download and was able to restore my MDA to life again but not until I had read about 20 different threads, did I attempt it again.
Thats the problem with some people here. They don't read and just assume that because they're a Software Dev that they automatically know everything or think that because they're pretty computer savvy that they know what they're doing or think that because they had their device for a few months that they're automatically an expert... It's annoying to tell you the truth because the only real way to learn is through a lot of reading, or trial and error and thats how everyone here has to learn.
I read this forum for a few MONTHS before I flashed my device, and I'm glad I did. Not only do you have to READ the information, but you also have give it time to SINK IN so that it is fully understood.
There are some people who automatically cry out for help without expending any effort (NOOBE needs help! give me a link, fix this, WAA WAA). And then there are the ones who make this a great forum, they READ READ and REREAD, TEST and RETEST and generally provide knowledge, information and assistance.
All of us are riding on the backs of the mostly unsung developers Like Faria, Bepe and all the others.

Hey buddy I'm so pleased you got it done,CONGRATS man
Why the hell do you want Underground????!!!!!!!!
It's old, unstable and has soooo many bugs that have all been resolved in recent ROMs. Have you just had the forum on pda view then jumped at the first WM6 ROM post from the early days?
I'm not interested with the Underground WM6 but when MB_WM6 did not work, i thought of trying that.
I have a question here, i tried installing MB_WM6 and it stopped at 95%, later i tried to install Faria's kitchen ROM and it was successful. I tried unlocking the CID with lokowiz03. Do u people still feel that my phone is still CID locked.

Download WST tool and run it,it'll give all the info about your phone to determine the present status of your phone,only than it can be confirmed if it's cid locked or unlocked.
btw,faria's kitchen is for cooking the custom rom according to your own needs,it contains the Base Rom,OEM,RUU... and tools to build a rom.Did you cook your own Rom and flashed ?

Well said my friend... This is is how it should be. I think there should be a rule that have to be a member for so many weeks before you can even post and access download links on the forum... This should give you time to read before you make a mistake and brick your phone...
Thanks....i will surely search for WST tool. If u could post the link of the WST tool that will be of great help.
Thanks

Hey........i found the link and also downloaded it.......thanks for the info

do a soft reset of your phone , tap with stylus the soft reset button on the phone.the phone will reboot,see if it changes the spl,otherwise flash button's rom 1.05 a couple of more times and then do the soft reset,hope it'll change
Sorry...for posting the same info in a new thread......one more question here how to do a soft reset...is it by using ur WST tool. By keeping the power button pressed it will ask that device will be turned off....is this soft reset...or is there any other way to do

To perform a soft reset,use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the left side of your device,it's a small hole type just underneath Infrared port,you just can't miss it,ok

Sorry guys & gals. New to this but cannot get a handle on the right thing to do. Can anybody help? Yes have read the basics but its not basic to me I am afraid.
I have got an HTC TYTNII from Orange. Need to unlock the sim card lock. Then would like to clear out all the Orange rubbish with a rom flash I think its called (havent got all the words right just yet). However as I paid a few quid forthe phone do not really wish to stew it!! If you know what I mean Harry! Cannot find hardspl etc on so on have ativesync fitted and running. All help greatly appreciated.
This webpage has a ton of files that have been extremely helpful to me so far...
http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/
dont really know how to help
but
if you want to use hardspl is on the sticky thread
activesync can be downloaded from ms depending on the os you are using.
if you want more help tell me what you need and i will guide you
satiros
Lots of reading
I suggest you do lots more reading.
However, as a starter, go to :
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/kaiser-unlock.php
Pay for the unlocking service.
Then, and only then, install HardSPL
Following that, you can install any ROM you like (for Kaiser / TYTN II)
If you install a ROM based on Windows Mobile 6.1, chances are you will have to install a new Radio coding too. You should install the one for UK Vodaphone on :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Radio
Don't worry, it works on Orange, I have it on mine.
I recommend the Alex ROM even though it is still a Beta version, it is very good.
After you install the ROM and done a hard reset (keep both soft buttons pressed down whilst pressing the reset button with your stylus) install the radio, then do another hard reset.
Bingo, it's like a different phone.
Thanks for the info have carried out the first bit awaiting reply. Where can I download HardSPL please? Having looked at your recommended ROMs Which one?.. wow some cooking I can see I will be Flashing all day!!

if you cannot look & find it right there in one of the sticky threads of this forum ... I'd suggest you do not attempt any flashing to your device !!!
as some of those stickies contained mandatory informations that you need to READ THOROUGHLY !!!
I've very new to all this, having used a non-PDA/smartphone (SE637) for many years before purchasing a Tilt. While quite PC-literate, I find myself very intimidated with all this. I read as much as my mind allows before requiring large quantities of diet-coke -- then I need a nap to calm myself down from the soda before reading any more, or my head explodes.
I think that I need a new ROM, but I'm not sure why! Everywhere I read, that's what I'm told.
This community is very knowledgable and seems very helpful. As this appears to be more for developers than users like me, I'm hesitant to ask my question for fear of offending a developer, which isn't my intent. I'm looking for information that might assist me in choosing which ROM to use.
I suppose that I want the phone to run faster, be easier to use/see (I don't see as well as I did 50 years ago... ), and have the latest of whatever is the best at the moment, spending as little as possible in the process. A truly never-ending story...
Before you start flashing decide what's important to you. Are you looking for a certian look & feel? Is fuctionality more important or do you want spped/stability?
Then research the different Roms, most include feature lists & screen shots in the first few posts of the thread.
So what it really comes down to is a lot of reading.
Oh and be sure to HardSPL your device BEFORE doing anything.
Also, like kyphur said read and do the hardSPL first but for me I found it's most helpful just to try some. Download a few, flash them give it a whirl and see what you like. Once you try a few you'll find options and programs you love and will start looking for roms that have what you need and more importantly what you don't like. And if you never find anything you love then start cooking. There are a lot of great wikis here to guide you step by step.
Hope this helps.
Start with Wiki first. Once you hardspl, load your first rom. You will find how easy it is and start to flash more roms like crazy. Experiment, and then you will find what you like. After flashing your first rom, you will realize how much better your new rom is compare to the stock rom.
just start off by choosing a few roms...then read about it as the chef would describe their rom...see which one fits u most...then make sure u read teh wiki and faq before u actually start ur flashing...to make sure nothing goes wrong...and then if that doesnt fit u..try another rom..but all the roms here...are better than stock for sure
I knew this wasn't going to be easy... Rating system anyone? I suppose I'm also nervous about doing a first flash. What about CID and SIM unlocking?

HardSPL removes the Carrier lock (CID) from your phone. As for SIM unlocking, I haven't bothered yet because I don't travel anywhere that AT&T doesn't provide service.
Once you've done your share of reading, if you are still confused about what type of ROM you are looking for, check out whatever the latest Dutty release is at that point in time. Dutty's Kaiser ROMs are probably the most popular on XDA.
I use a [somewhat] clean ROM myself, with the bare minimum preloaded. This way I can install what I need, and not worry about wasted space for programs I don't use.
eenie meenie minie moe
j/p
however, for Christ sake, please have hardspl installed.
Just pick one by reading the changelogs usually located in the first couple of posts.

Is there a Tilt-specific version (currently with ATT's latest released ROM) of HardSPL that avoids all the headaches I'm reading about?
I'm still not sure how this works, but if I were to go Dutty's, should I look for UC - from what I'm gathering, I could then get a minimum ROM version, choose what I want added, then somehow update that bare ROM to include my choices, keeping all my settings in the process? A hard reset, if needed, would restore the new UC basic ROM along with what I added -- do I have this right?

The version of HardSPL required is determined by what version SPL that is on your phone. If you reboot your phone in bootloader mode, you will see a version number for SPL. As long as you follow the directions for that version, you will be fine.

You need JumpSPL to get started, and then you need HardSPL to flash. 2 zip files total. Memorize the steps prior to starting, and do NOT skip any of them for any reason...
man...I thought I gave you advice yesterday on what to do. Literally, thousands of people have hardspl their roms just fine. Even a couple blonde girls in this forum have done it. It is not that hard and you shouldn't have too much trouble. Just follow the instructions and you will be just fine. After your first flash, you will move couple levels up in knowledge.

Hi I'm not new to PDA but i'm new to flashing and roms and stuff.
I have a HTC tytn 2 whit an english (UK) rom on it (no brand the real one from HTC itself). I want to have an dutch rom after some browsing and a bit of reading i stumble upon some things that would be great if it worked. But i'm actully a little to scared to try stuff (600 € is not a toy to play with and you need to be sure doing stuff right). So what i know so far is that i need a NL rom i have chosen this one NoThrills_WM61_NLD_V3 i dont like the branded things so NO thrills. So then i read that i need to HardSPL the thing. So i run it, guess what white screen, no problem as i've read further i need to use the jumpspl instead so i run it and the i get the Tri-color. Now what i don't know is what i need to do next. Cause in the other tutorial they use this program to run the "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility" whit the exe file. I'm stuck here. What do i need to do now to get the rom onto the device or do i need to do it another way?
Thanks in advance.

No expert here - the WIKI is your friend.
The jumpspl is there only to get you past the white screen. You STILL need to HARDSPL your phone or you will brick it.
The white screen problem only adds another step to what you need to do.
You really need to go and read and re-read until you are sure of what you are doing or you will need GSLEON3.
So - an overview of what you need to do:
1. get past the white screen - (using jumpspl) and then put HARDSPL on your phone - DO NOT PROCEED until you can see either OLIPOF or JOCKY on your boot screen.
2. once you have hardspl installed you are going to want to flash your phone - frequently a radio comes with the flash - other times it does not and you will have to pick a radio to flash.
Trust me this is worth it in the long run - but it will raise your blood pressure - no go get your asbestos suit on and read!
Bill
waiting for a mod to close this thread as it is redundant.
if u read the jumpspl thread it clearly tells u what to do next.
Redundant thread.
Please read the WIKI and _Alex_ Sticky. It has all the information that you need.
Looks like the post in this thread alone should answer your question.
OK please don't flame me as I am going round and round in circles jumping from one thread link to another trying to get to grips with this stuff!
OK...
The other day I tried to install the hardspl and got the white screen problem.
I followed the thread to sort that out and all appeard ok and the phone continued to work OK under HTC stock 6.1
Yesterday I flashed L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release and have been playing around with it trying to sort stuff out.
I then started reading the thread about ultimate radios and trying to work out what other radios work with this ROM and how I go about installing them and read I need to confirm the spl I am on and so did the hold camera button and reset to see the spl version.
It says the following:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.0liPof
CPLD-8
Now from what I understand it should say SPL-3.2X or similar?
But it does not?
I thought that I needed the SPL-3.2X etc in order to flash cooked ROMS but it looks like I dont have that......so how was I able to flask L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release ?
Thanks

I thought that I needed the SPL-3.2X etc in order to flash cooked ROMS but it looks like I dont have that......so how was I able to flask L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release ?
Thanks

Read the SQL Questions thread in the Wiki. It will explain a lot of this to you.
In short, any HardSPL will allow you to flash, it's just the 3.* ones are more compatable with the latest WM6.1 builds.
EDIT:
Normally I'd flame you for this, but Im already flaming another noob atm That doesn't mean someone else wont flame you later.

OK please don't flame me as I am going round and round in circles jumping from one thread link to another trying to get to grips with this stuff!
OK...
The other day I tried to install the hardspl and got the white screen problem.
I followed the thread to sort that out and all appeard ok and the phone continued to work OK under HTC stock 6.1
Yesterday I flashed L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release and have been playing around with it trying to sort stuff out.
I then started reading the thread about ultimate radios and trying to work out what other radios work with this ROM and how I go about installing them and read I need to confirm the spl I am on and so did the hold camera button and reset to see the spl version.
It says the following:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.0liPof
CPLD-8

If you are able to flash a ROM onto your device, then you must have an UNLOCKED phone. For simple instructions on upgrading to the new SPL I suggest you visit the following :

Good luck.
Well I am sure I am gonna get flamed for this post, but here goes....
BTW "I AM NOT MOANING OR PICKING FOR AN ARGUMENT" I know this info here is given as is and appreciate the time people spend putting it all together
For the noob there is a trillion things to read here all of which lead to another trillion things which lead to ......
This phone flashing is all new to me and as I paid £434 for it I dont want to brick it, a term along with many I have never heard of before coming here.
I digress...
Anyway after reading and trying to understand it all I have flashed my phone and it works a treat and I am happy, just still in the dark about many things.
The thing is as a noob it is extremely daunting to start to read a thread, wiki etc to try to understand about a topic which diverts you to threads which divert, divert, divert so that after 3-4 diversions you foget what it was you were readiing about to start with!
And then you get to the point....I dont understand this...should I post lest I get flamed.......
So basically from a noobs point of view....everyone was a noob at some point, be gentle with us!
OK.....let the pachjo bash commence...........
Not a flame, just my way of working...
You raise some good points about the amount of info here. But like most here I managed to flash my device without posting a single new thread. If I had a problem with a step I posted there.
_Alex_ has consolodated most info into the single sticky. And there are step by step guides and FAQs on the Wiki.
I just took it one topic at a time:
*Found a ROM, said I needed HardSPL.
*Found HardSPL, installed it.
*Flashed ROM.
*No sound, found thread explaining about Radios. Flashed Radio.
*and so on.
I was (and still do) always reading thread that I found related to me learning as I go and helping where I can. I too like you knew nothing when I first joined and no one minds "noobs" asking questions in the relevant threads when they get stuck, but this is ROM development forum. All new threads should pertain to ROM "development".

you must use (aka JumpSPL )file before changing the SPL
this jumber must be in your device before flashing the new hard SPL

Thanks guys.....am reading away and will take onboard your comments
first off, you can flash any rom with the olipof hardspl 1.0. the problem is, you will get screen freezes every once in a while. Using jumpspl, you can go to another hardspl. Usually jumpspl is included in all the new hardspls, but maybe not. Get familiar with what jumpspl is and then switch to hardspl.
