Completely Unable to flash ROM - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

I cannot flash any rom. I've tried one of Dutty's and I tried the HyperDragon version. With each, I got to the step of running the KaiserCustomRUU, clicked through the screens and at about 18% complete, it freezes due to some communications error. Can someone help? I've seen these cool ROMS online and just can't get it to work. Here's what I did
1. Synched TILT with PC and moved JUMPSPL1.93-Kais.exe and JUMPSPL1.56-Kais.exe(I've tried both) to the sync folder.
2. Run the file from my TILT, following the unplugging steps mentioned in all the guides online.
3. Run the KaiserCustomRUU file from my sync folder on the pc...follow screenpops, then at 18% I get the error. I try the error recovery with no luck...
I'm completely stumped...I've been able to avoid a "brick" whatever that is, by downloading the ROM from the HTC site to save my phone, but unable to set up a new ROM....AHHHH!!!

So after running JUMPSPL1.93-Kais.exe, which hard SPL are you trying to install so you can flash a custom ROM? When you say you run the KaiserCustomRUU file on your PC, what else is in the "sync" folder?
I recommend you read the Wiki more thoroughly; make sure you know exactly what you're doing.

Completely Unable to Flash ROM
I downloaded a folder called Kaiser-HardSPL-3.29. In this folder I have KaiserCustomRUU.exe (which is what I ran). there is also a file called Kaiser-HardSPL-3.29.nbh. Only the .exe is the executable file so that's the only one I could click on.
I've tried navigating a few beginner guides on this website and they still seem designed for people who have somewhat of an idea of what they are doing. I don't

Read and follow the steps in the first post in the attached thread, it's the best one I've found yet.

That thread definitely lays out the steps for me, but the problem I'm having is when I flash the hardspl3.29. That's when I get the pops ups on my pc, which I click through, and when the progress bar gets to 18%, It says I've had some sort of communications error. it did this both times I attempted it.

Read the wiki and step by step instructions "how to install HardSPL".
READ IT.
Step.... by..... step.... its easy.

So you've installed HardSPL 3.29? Did the whole unplug/plug in thing? And THEN tried to install the ROM?

Do you have to do the unplug/plug thing?
I did it the first time when I flash to hardSPL 3.05... then when I hardSPL it to 3.29 again, I didn't have to do that. It just run by itself.

I'm not sure; I always did. I suppose not if you didn't and the procedure still worked.

Make sure you use,.
Win XP SP2 or higher
Active sync 4.5
and net framework installed on your pc
USB cable that came with kaiser box,.
Thats usually the main reason for cant upgrade ROM,.
SPL and CID thing is not related if you failed in upgrading process,.
Hope this help,.

I screwed up the unlocking, Please HELP!!!

I didn't read the unlocking SIM procedure by jocky properly. I understood that I MUST get HardSPL installed, and so I go the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to the phone and then executed it. It got me the tri-color screen (Is this called bootloader?) and then I executed the KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the flash-HardSPL.zip thinking that this will put in the HardSPL into the ROM. The progress bar went upto 95% and then it exited with error and after that the "Recovery" option of the loader hasn't been able to revive the phone. Every time, I put the battery back in and power it up, I get the tri-color screen with the following message:
RUUNBH (on the top right hand side of the screen)
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
I think I now understand the mistake I made. I had a bunch of .nbh files in the directory from where I ran the KaiserCustomRUU after extracting and that is why it must have failed. Now every time I get the tri-color screen when I boot up.
Can someone please help me recover from this position? I have now got the actual simunlocker zip from the original thread and extracted it with folder names and so now I am ready to try again, only if I can recover from the mess I created. Please help!!!
mtty recovered, but I get back the bootloader every time I power up
I used mtty (set 14 0 and boot) to make the phone work (now data was lost and all my prgrams were still there). However, every time I power up my phone, the tri-color screen is back. How can I resolve this?
When I run mtty, I get the following messages on mtty:

flash the original rom your device came with! only shot buddy!
Thanks for the advice. Where do I get the original ROM and how do I flash it? After the mess I created, I want to be doubly sure. I remember the versions of ROM that the phone used to show during bootup was R1.27.12.11 and D1.56.00.00 (I don't remember the G number). Appreciate if you could let me know. I have downloaded the Radio ROM numbered 1.27.12.11... is that the original ROM?
if it's a tilt, flashing the original rom will not work, you will get an invalid model error. Instead, use this one RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.61.502.2.exe. Trust me, been there done that. (twice)
Once you've done flashing to RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.61.502.2.exe and you want to unlock, HardSPL, then flash it back to RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.57.502.2, then start w/ step 1 from simunlock.

Did you mean to attach the ROM because it isn't there? I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 and it shows a ATT_SPL ROM. But, I ran out of free download limits from rapidshare for today (tonight). Is that the correct procedure? And when you say "flash" the ROM, please correct me if my understanding is wrong:
1. Get the bootloader running (tri-color screen). In my case, just power cycling does it.
2. Have the .nbh file for the ROM and the KaiserCustomRUU.exe in a folder with no other files in it in your PC.
3. Execute the .exe file which should take me thru the prompts on the PC to flash the ROM. I should see a progress bar on the PC as well as cellphone.
Is this procedure correct?
If I am able to get the device back to original state, I will need to find out how I can get the HardSPL loaded "definitively" as well.
sigh, I thought you know how to flash. Anyway, i'm being nice tonight.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
get the 1.61.502.2 from that link. put your phone into that tri-color screen, run the exe file you just download. That will bring your Tilt back, if you want to unlock the phone, then read my previous post again, and again and again if you still dont get it.

I know why you feel that way. But, since I screwed up a simple process, my grey cells have really degenerated. My apologies for being dense. I did download that file from the original post of the thread, but now I have run out of free downloads from Rapidshare and I don't have a paypal account. I have to wait another 1hr before it allows me to download. I will try using the Cingular file to flash the device. Fingers crossed!!!
It'll work, dont worry. Just get a new ip and d/l from rapidshare.
Got error 294: Invalid vendor ID, just 1% into flashing. How can I make the phone not go into the boot loader every time I power it ON? Currently, I am using mtty to boot it out of the bootloader.
PS: I had earlier today downloaded the Cingular ROM, but its size as shown in Rapidshare is different from the one you pointed to. I will try that once Rapidshare allows me to.
Looks like the vendor id got screwed up when I had incorrectly flashed the device as I am not able to send emails (POP yahoo mail) or get Direct Push Mail (Outlook) working now. Before this attempt of mine to unlock the SIM, the yahoo and outlook was working fine. Now, during activesync, it says "waiting for network". I am able to browse the internet using PIE though.
I hope the AT&T ROM flashing works.
Downloaded the 1.61 ROM and was able to flash it successfully. It installed all the apps that came with ROM. However, I am not able to access my yahoo POP mail nor my Outlook. I am able to browse the internet though.
Is there a way to get the original AT&T ROM (v1.56) with the 1.27.12.11 radio? I know that that ROM worked fine with my data connections.
Edit: I am able to sync Outlook and Yahoo successfully now with the 1.61 ROM itself.
Thanks to all who helped me with this. I can't thank enough.

Thanks jockyw2001.
Now that my phone is working nicely with the modified AT&T ROM, I want to attempt unlocking the SIM again. I screwed up when I tried to install HardSPL. I will write the procedure here from what I understood from your posts (and thank you very very much for your work). Appreciate if you can confirm that before I show my stupidity again.
Steps:
1. Go to the bootloader by executing JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe from the phone
2. Connect thru USB to my Win XP laptop (the loader should show USB)
3. Unzip the contents of flash-HardSPL.zip into an empty folder which will put KaiserCustomRUU.exe and kaiser_hardSPL_1.0.nbh files into the folder.
4. Run the .exe file from that folder which will bring up the ROM loader utility which will automatically load the .nbh file located in the same folder. This will result in the HardSPL being loaded into the phone and the SPL string as seen on the boot loader will change to SPL-1.0 OliPof. Is that a confirmation that HardSPL is loaded?
Can I get out of the boot loader mode after loading HardSPL and continue to use my phone and then attempt the SIM unlocking later?
My phone currently has the AT&T ROm v1.61.502.2 with the Radio ROM v1.27.14.09. Will jocky's unlock method work with this?

Error 260 when upgrading

First off, I have read every thread mentioning error 260, every wiki about upgrading, and have not been able to fix my problem.
I am trying to upgrade to Schap's newest 6.0 ROM, not the 6.1. I currently have the OEM 5.0 ROM that came on the device from AT&T. I can connect via activesync perfectly. No issues there at all. When I run the upgrade program, it gets all the way to the status bar showing 0% or 1%, then the phone and computer disconnect the activesync connection, the phone goes back to the today screen, and my computer shows error 260.
I have seen posts saying I need to install HardSPL. I tried that and get error 260 there also.
I have seen posts about installing JumpSPL, I tried that and it only locks the phone up. I must do a soft reset to bring it back to life.
I found the instructions on upgrading the ROM via the SD card. I followed those and renamed the .nbh file and copied it to the fat32 formatted sd card in the phone. Where do the rest of the files go??? The .nbh file cannot possibly contain the entire rom, right? The instructions leave that part out from what I can see.
Help!
u have the at&t OEM 5.0 rom?? are u sure u are in the right device forum?
and yes the nbh file contains the whole rom

Installing HardSPL is not optional...it is a requirement. This is what allows a non-factory ROM to be installed on the phone. If it's a Tilt, there have been all sorts of issues with HardSPL installing on different Tilt revisions (most of which have been fixed, I believe). Go directly to the stickies. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Once you have HardSPL on your phone...DO NOT FLASH THE ROM YET. Go directly to the Wiki for the Tilt. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Why? Because if you weren't aware that you absolutely positively MUST have HardSPL installed before trying to flash a ROM...you haven't read enough. Sorry if I sound like I'm being short with you...I'm really not. I'm just trying to keep you from bricking your phone.
Edit: oh...good catch XtreMe...didn't even register the 5.0 reference when I read that...perhaps a Hermes (or rather...Cingular 8525)?
ah ha! Wrong forum. I started in the Hermes thread, and through all my searching must have ended up in the Kaiser thread. Sorry! I will repost over there.
Happened to me a few times and some posts said to turn off the firewall.
After some testing I found a change which allowed a USB connection to my Kaiser.
Make sure your firewall allows the application "wcescomm.exe" to have full access via your firewall.
This applies to application based firewalls like McAfee. For port based firewalls you will need to find out the ports used for inbound and outbound comms.
That I cannot help with.
Hope that helps you.
Also you may need to run as either a superuser or administrator under Windows. I run my machine as a restricted user and I got the same error.

Simple Step-By-Step Installation of 3.28 Hard SPL

Credit goes to the creator of the HardSPL files V3.28/3.29; JockyW
Simple Step-By-Step Installation of 3.28 Hard SPL:
I have decided to expand on what has already been posted for those noobeees that are having hard time understanding the HardSPL procedures and are hesitant to flash new cooked ROMs fearing the process was not really explained in details.
You only need two files; SSPL-KAIS.zip and Kaiser-HardSPL-3.28.zip. Save both files on your PC in their own folder for easy access later. Follow these steps to the tee, Do this only if you have your device CID unlocked already ( OliPoff method ):
1. Save then unzip SSPL-KAIS.zip inside a folder on your PC, then copy the unzipped “SSPL-KAIS.exe” onto your device. To do this, connect your device to ActiveSync, After Syncing, Click on Tools from the ActiveSync window, and then click on Explore Pocket PC. “Mobile Device” window appears, Copy SSPL-KAIS.exe by dragging it inside the “Mobile Device” window.
2. Unzip “Kaiser-HardSPL-3.28.zip” in its own folder on your desk top. It will unzip into two files; KaiserCustomRUU.exe and Kaiser-HardSPL-3.28.nbh.
3. Remove your SIM card and your SD card from device. Your device will power off when your SIM card is removed. Power up your device. You are still connected to your PC via USB at this point. Your phone will sync again since it is still connected.
4. On your device, go to “File Explorer” and locate SSPL-KAIS.exe that you copied earlier on your device main memory and click it.
5. Wait for the Bootloader Tri-Color screen to appear and "USB" to show.
6. On your PC bottom tray, Right-click the ActiveSync icon, go into “Connection Settings” and ensure “Allow USB Connections” is unchecked
7. Unplug your device from the USB port, wait 5 seconds, plug it back in.
8. Go to the folder on your PC that has “KaiserCustomRUU.exe” and click it. This will flash the HardSPL on your device.
9. When done flashing, do a soft reset, and you should be good to go.
10. You can use the above steps to flash Kaiser-HardSPL-3.29 if you so desire.
Good luck
Tilt will not receive ROM
I tried flashing the below upgraded Kaiser Rom on my ATT Tilt but now I have the tri-color screen:
KAISI*0
SPL-1.93.000
CPLD-8
The first time it stopped loading at 15%, recovered and now I am getting vendor ID error (294 invalid vendor ID).
I tried others ROMs (including this one) but it just does nothing 0%, errors out, recovery and repeat (update error 262).
After removing battery the tri-color screen says "serial", once I plug in the USB it says USB, but no firmware can be loaded on it.
Does someone have basic firmware that will load when an ATT Tilt gets in this state?
Any help is really appreciated. I just got this thing too. Below was the update I tried that kill my Tilt.
'RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe' that you can find
did u hardspl?
Yes, I had to use the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS (HardSPL fix).

Sounds like your phone is still CID LOCKED. Unlock it using the software posted somewhere else on XDA but NOT in this thread, and try to upgrade the SPL after unlocking.
One way to find out if your device locked or unlocked is that you can try to revert back to the AT&T OEM ROM and flash it. You would then be certain that the CID is locked if your device accepts the OEM ROM.
I wish you posted your troubles in the ROM post where you downloaded the ROM where it belongs; My instructions have nothing to do with your device ROM issues.
I believe you are exactly right! Do you know where there is copy of the AT&T OEM ROM? I would love to have my phone working again.
Sorry for my ignorance. Where is the ROM section for my AT&T Tilt. I got the ROM link from modxxxx .com
Thank you for the assistance.

i must admit this is the best and clearest step by step guide i have come acrooss thanks a lot mate
just a quick thought..... maybe you should give some credit to jocky
Also,
It wouldn't hurt to mention the "white screen" issues people get when running SSPL.
In such a case they need to use Jump SPL 1.56 or 1.93.

So now, when my Kaiser has Hard-SPL v1 and custom ROM, I can do above steps to upgrade SPL? And then upgrade to custom ROMS without touching SPL?

ps, my phone display windows 6.1 now so is it neccessary to run the last 2 steps?
akachay,
I got the same problem. You have to reflash with the orginal ROM so you have a proper working radio. then you can update to 6.1.
use the original desktop updater for WM6, edit the payloads.xml file, then flash the treo. then update to WM6.1 using the KaiserCustomRRU or the SD method.

Yea, once you come to that error, thats when you just quit, then go on to flashing the actual rom (KaiserRUU + Rom)
then after the rom was flashed to 6.1, them just use the update radio only patch .. although I have NOT YET updated my radio, after flashing, it works fine, no dropped calls or whatever .. internet speed is great .. but i'll update this post if it does stop werking..

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.

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.
