Hey guys, first some good news:
At work we got a box full of fully functional S200 which are "obsolete" in some of our institutions. So what do IT supporters do with them? Thats right, we play with them
But unfortunately Ive run into problems.
First I tried to do a Hardspl on my G4 unit, but I dont think it went properly, because the text that would indicate that I did a Hardspl didnt show... it still showed the ususal: SPL: 2.20.0001 if I remember correct.
Then I installed "Prophet Shadow 2.0 Clean Edition".
Now it cant get past the bootloader screen. I've tried hard resets, with format text and everything but it quickly skips the formatting part... and still gets stuck at bootloader... what to do?
Thx in advance
i've got the same problem and now it's stuck on to bootloader mode, i get the ERROR 260 message, the weird thing is that it shows G3 on the three colours screen knowing that it's a G4
PLEASE HELP GUYS
and do not have USB in the corner of the bootloader screen
anyone of you geniouses has a solution ?

Was trying to upgrade a new WM6 rom and it kept getting stuck @ 99%
Went through the recovery process and it was fine the first time but the second time Activesync stopped finding the device so I've got no communication between the Phone (XDA Mini S Wiza200) and the PC.
Can anyone help. I tried removing the battery but still starts up the same, just the red, green and blue screen with this on.
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.0001
Is it a brick or is there anything I can do to recover it.
Thanks for any help.

I have the same problem. Initially, I tried doing the flash one my home computer with Vista, it didn't work, so I decided to try it on my work one and now I am stuck on the bootloader. Any advice?
I just downloaded the original O2 rom setup program, connected my pda to usb and it shows "usb" in the bottom left corner of the pda's screen.
Then start the setup program which contains the O2 rom and that was it, back to normal again.
You don't need Activesync running either.
ok this is the wierdest thing ever. Yesterday I soft reset my phone (which was flashed to HardSPL and SuperCID and the Hyperdragod II rom about 2 weeks ago) and it now only goes to the bootloader screen. I ran mtty and did a boot command and the phone boots! But as soon as I softreset it goes back to the bootloader screen. Please note it wasnt a bad flash or anything because since I flashed 2 weeks ago my phone has worked 100% fine, soft resets and everything worked. I tried flashing to the original Kaiser bootloader, I flashed back to the original HTC rom and it still does this. One thing I noticed is that when I use mtty to boot and plug in my phone via usb my Windows XP PC doesnt start activesync, windows says it cannot recognize the plugged in usb device! However in tricolor mode I can still flash 100% so I dont think the usb port is defective.
same here..
the phone was hanging at night... wanted to reboot.. and tricolor..
Now I am using it for months.. an something it boots ok and sometimes I have to use MTTY or waiting without the battery in it for 10 min solves it sometimes to.
gone install 6.1 now.. hope it fixes it.
what does it display at bootloader screen?
sorry to jump in, but mine's started doing this today.
I had it flashed with 'Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid V2_1_65.14.06', which seemed to be working OK.
Then I soft reset it earlier today and got to loading my tday screen, screamed the battery was dead (it was nearly fully charged) and turned off.
I turned it back on and it was as though it was booting after the soft reset, or like I'd taken the battery out (I hadn't).
I couldn't get this to change, so I flashed it with Sleuth v3.0, one ive used very successfully before - now it only shows the tri-colour bootloader screen, with the following details:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.0.oliPoF
CPLD-8
USB
Anyone know what I can do?
Thanks in advance
'tunes
Do the letters RUUNBH appear anywhere on the screen. LOOK AGAIN!
If so I can help easily, if not It'll take a little homework on your part. Let me know.
the exact text from the bootloader screen is:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.OLIPOF
CPLD-8
Down the bottom it says Serial, or USB if it's connected to my PC.
(these may have changed from earlier, ive been trying all sorts to get this going properly!)
Thanks for your help

I have the same problem descripted in this thread but I wasn't able to find the other thread you are talking about with the answer... Is there anybody here who would help an unlucky tytn2 owner? Thank you so much... I'm waiting for you!
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.
Won't help

SPL-3.27.0000
CPLD-8
Top right:
RUUNBH
I cant get the fone to boot and it is stuck. I cant get the MTTY thing to connect to my fone and at a lose end. Any help would be amazing...

What happens when you remove the battery and try to re-start the phone? Have you tried to soft re-set?
SPL2.27 is a good sign. Your device needs CID unlocking as it is a preferred process prior to updating the SPL as well as flashing a new cooked ROM. Read some of the stickies and understand the procedure and you will be fine.
A quick note: the HTC Kaiser is an indestructible device. It endures all kinds of software abuse, and will survive the severest Nubie flashing indulgence. So do not worry! you can get it back to normal.
Do the following first:
I would recommend if you see the four colors on the screen and USB at the bottom of the screen, to flash an OEM HTC or AT&T ROM Dated August 2008. This will clear all bad temp files and will render the device to default stage.
XDA-Wiki is your best friend. After that you can CID unlock the device then start flashing cooked ROMs.
Thread closed.
See my hints in my thread where you also posted.

Hi all..
I'll get directly into the scenario..
HardSPLed (1.17) my HTC Snap device ->
installed [WM6.5 STD 21854][Build 3VO.2.50.112509] works perfectly but I wanted to get back to the original WM6.1 ->
went back to WM6.1 successfully, after a while the official WM6.5 ROM realesed by HTC ->
downloaded it ->
tried to install it, everything goes well till the upgrade indicator reaches 29% and hang for no reason and giving me a 262 error after a while!!! then I followed instructions to recover the upgrade process as shown in the upgrade application then it hangs again at point 29% giving me the same error!!!!
I tried many times the steps of recovering and the same thing happens.. I'm confirming that my usb cable is working good and Windows Mobile sync application works great.
So I decided to install the 3VO.2.50 version again since I had a dead device and surprisingly everything works fine with the cooked version..
Now the problem is I need to install the new HTC OFFICIAL ROM and I can't do this... i've followed many topics here that nearly the same my problem but there is nothing except the frustration now i stucked in the coocked ROM and can't install the official ROM nor getting back to the original WM6.1 version
Any help guys will be much appreciated ..
Thanx in advance..
See this thread, follow the directions of the last post.

I have had the same issue installing WM 6.5 official ROM from HTC on mine. I followed the recovery process around 6 or 7 times before succeeding. it's kind of frustrating, but it worked in the end.
Thanks for help..
After walkingthrough sikkboy626 link i was able to install the official WM6.5 ROM
But after the upgrade process ends successfully the device restarted and only shows a black screen with 'smart mobility' and at the down left of the screen there is a B G R D letters, beside each of them there are some kind of numbers (in orange color)
Then it just hangs !!!!
Any clue guys ???

that's the normal boot screen which indicates the radio version, rom version. just wait a few minutes for the phone to boot for the 1st time. if it still doesn't do anything, try re-flashing.

this is really a common error when flashing the ROM. try doing the recovery process as indicated many many times until success.

in the recovery process, you don't need sync. read the documentation delivered with the ROM, they say how to recover.
Yes I know that i don't need sync in a recovery process.. i'm just proofing that the recovery/upgrade application doesn't see the device.. so i'm stuck here, i can't re-flash, i can't hard reset i can't do anything using my pc 'cause simply it doesn't know that the phone is connected to it...!!!!

the only thing that i can tell you is to try the recovery process over and over until it connects correctly to the device. i have had the same issue as you : my phone wouldn't boot at all and was stuck at 29%. i re-booted my computer and followed the recovery process around 6 or 7 times as suugested on the screen, and then it worked.

Ok :
1 - Remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds. Put the battery back in.
2 - While holding volume DOWN button, press the power button. The phone will enter "bootloader" mode and you will see a tricolor bootscreen.
do you see this screen ?
Yes... finally i see the tri color screen now...
what should i do after that??
and btw the pc realize the phone now do I have to try reflashing again??
Thanks alot raphaelc for helping me.. phone is working now perfectly after reflashing
Really appreciate your help..
no pb. i had really the same bad experience
