Stuck in bootloader, please help!

Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to update my MDA Compact to qtek 1.06 and I saw to executables in the package:
getdevice.exe and enterbl.exe
I runned getdevice.exe for getting the device data for in the change.bat. That went oke, but out of curiosity I had to run the enterbl.exe, which made me go to the boot loader immediately. And now I'm stuck at the boot loader!
Whatever I do it won't boot to WME anymore! Soft reset, pressing the camera+power+reset, everytime it goes to the "Serial V1.00"screen.
When I remove and put back the backcover of the device (where the battery and sim are) it will go off and after a press on the power button it will boot to WME. But when I manually reset the device or when it automaticaaly reset itself after installing the ExROM tools, it goes back to the boot loader (Serial - V1.00) screen!
I even dumped the ROM with mmty to the SD card and flashed the device with that ROM again, but after it says Checksum is OK and I press reset it just goes straight to bootloader again.
I'm really out of clues of what to do. Can someone please help?
EDIT: When removing and putting back the backcover I can reset the device and it will boot back to WME so I can use it. But still when I softreset (with button or through software) it goes to boot loader. :-(
So using the backcover as a reset button is possible and does work, but it isn't very handy/usefull off course.
TIA

Check the forum, the answer is there
Yes, you are still in bootloader mode and it's actually getting ready for you to flash.
Donno which part of it goes wrong, mine also have the same issue. What you need to do now is to restart your desktop pc / laptop (from the info I gathered from the forum). Then run that update thing again. This time, the same screen will appear saying it's trying to get the device data. Difference is, this time you no longer see the current version of ROM (as the Magician is in bootloader mode now). And you will see it show you the ROM that you going to upgrade to. Just follow the instruction, everything is straight forward. Hope this help.
cheers..

Thanks man!
You're the man cyberjaya!
It is working now, here is what I did (as told by cyberjaya):
- Rebooted my laptop
- Connected the MDA to the laptop
- Started the upgrade program of the qtek 1.06 ROM
- It didn't found my version, but it would let me update it to 1.06
- Flashing....(15 minutes is a LOOOONG time if you have to wait )
I did reset it a few times and it just boots normally!
Thank you ver much cyberjaya!

No problemo
Am using laptop to flash also. Likely it's the USB hub thing (which listed in the "hardware devices" list). Read it somewhere, it's not recommended to flash using USB hub. Enjoy your new ROM!! .
cheers

I had a thought:
Isn't this the way to do a ROM upgrade without editing the ROM files?
Because it can't detect a different ROM and it will do the upgrade...
Or am I missing something?

Help with Error 260 on Wizard update

Hi, help please...
I have Wizard G3 with TNT 5 Touch Flow and tried to update radio T-mobile UK 2.19 Radio Only. update went OK but now on loading I see HTC boot screen then it moves to TNT 5.0 screen and then fades in two minutes and starts back with HTC boot screen. It then circulates like that for ever without passing to the Today screen. On connection with PC for new update with any rom it shows: Error (260) update error. What can be done?

it's a case of bad flash,did anything during flash happened like lose usb connectivity,pc crashed,battery discharged or something like unusual ?
Try to soft reset and see if it works,otherwise you'll have to reflash to official carrier's rom in boodloader mode,
1. Disconnect your phone from the usb cable,shut down any firewall,disable any Anti virus,Reboot your PC.
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. On your PC Open windows Task Manager...>Tab Processes...>wescomm.exe...>End process
4. Power off the phone completely (Not stand-by,shut off completely),or you may take the battery out for few seconds
5. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC via USB cable and remove the dummy Sdcard or mini-Sd card
6. Get your phone into Bootloader mode (Multicolor screen) by pressing camera button + Power on button
7. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Be sure that your battery is charged over 70%)
8. "USB"will appear on the bottom of the screen of the Bootloader (Multicolor screen)
9. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
10.Never use Bluetooth sync for the Upgrade
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.Please be patient when you're flashing your device, even if 98%. It can wait a little bit, 5 ~ 7 minutes.
Don't cancell the flash or get the phone off the usb cable till it confirms "Congratulations" or stops with an Error!!!
Hope it'll work, Good luck

Hi, this is the first time i saw a Paki guy on this web. I know there is alot of talent in IT profession in Pakistan. Anyway its good to see u here and i got a relief that with the help of a senior member like you i can get my phone work again.
To cut the chase, I have X01HT by Softbank Japan. It is Herms200 by HTC Japanese WM5 ROM. I have installed Asukal's English MUI and it was working fine for me. Now i'm planning to visit Pakistan this month so i though to unlock the sim and i used Prof v3a to unlock. I've successfully unlocked the sim and i guess CID also. When i use some other carrier's sim, i can receive the calls but cant make the calls out coz Softbank rom has a security which comes at screen and ask for password and dont let me do anything on the PDA. After studying alot on this forum i figured that i need to change the rom to get rid of that password message. i used the Olipro's Hard SPL and got bootloader 2.10 Olipro. I checked the other necessary stuff and when satisfied i started rom update. I end up with the same message of Error 260. Now my phone has no OS and it starts at bootloader. i tried everything possible like i make sure to remove all firewalls on my PC, used all the versions of Activesync and everything possible that i could. I trust that there is nothing wrong with the ROM etc but it is with connection.
Now if i update to the original ROM, i'm afraid that it will also upgrade my Bootloader and could never be able to flash english rom. I'm really depressed for the last three days and loosing sleep as well. I trust that you or any other senior member can help me with this.
Thanks in advance and looking forward anxiously.

Farrukh, wrong forum.
You know you have a Hermes, then you should know to post your questions in Hermes related forum, not wizard.
denflorida:
Try to update other Radio-only ROMs in xda's FTP server.

Sorry Brother, i know i have herms but i couldn't find some related topic in herms and i figured that Activesync problem is the same in all devices.
Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply. I'll try to find some from Herms.
Thanks

8125 rom update
i have tried to do a rom update on my 8125 g4. i recently purchased it off ebay and i have two problems. the reason i want to update it is because when i try to enable the wifi my device freezes. the other problem is that i can not seem to get the phone into boot loader mode. i have tried :
-turning the phone off and holding the camera button as i turn it on.
-holding the camera button and pluging it in to a usb port.
- using wizard service tool to enter boot loader mode.
after each of these different attempts i had to either remove the battery for 3 secs or hold the reset button for a few seconds before i can turn it back on. the phone still turns and just i can not use the wifi

Yes!!! Thank you! your instructions worked for me and got me past the Error [260] with my 8125 .

Stuck on boot screen and power button broken, how great..

My universal was upgraded from tomal (ranju) 7.7 rom to the 8.2 and now im stuck on the boot screen and cannot go to bootloader mode because my power button is broken, so now what? im assuming im screw'd. right?.. anyone?
Also, what is kitl mode? can that help me?

Doh, got it all wrong. Try http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader but I had success just getting the PC recognizing the device and re-flashing the ROM. The bootloader screen appeared at some point during the flash.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that i cannot connect to activesync because my universal is stuck on the screen where it shows you the rom and radio. I can use my memory stick to load any files via my sd card port on my laptop but i cannot connect my uni to activesync since its stuck on the splash screen. If i need a specific file to boot my uni straight to bootloader boot when the phone boots up via the sd card i can do that. Any suggestions?
-UPDATE- Oh wow once i got back to the reply i saw your correction...lolz. ill try that.. thanks X-D

Ok, try hard resetting or a soft reset first. Well, you probably already tried, but nevertheless... DON'T PANIC!
How broken is your power button?

oh its broken...off the motherboard need to be soldered broken.lolz.. i tried the method you said and it doesnt work =-(.. Is there any file for windows mobile that you can put on the external memory card such as the sd for the uni so that it can force the phone to bootloader as soon as the phone boots?
-Edit: it seems like the only way i can fix this problem is if someone backs up their rom to their memory stick and sends it to me some sort of way so that i can put it on my memory stick and do tomals sd upgrade and hope that it re-updates it.. =-(

The only file you can use is called Enter Bootloader, it comes with a standard ROM upgrade folder, I recommended it at first, but then realized you won't be able to access it from your Uni, seeing you are stuck. There is a ROM upgrade from SD thread somewhere, it can be done, but not if you are stuck, it's for the broken USB ports.
mtty?

Mtty no good because it doesnt pick up the phone via usb

Have you tried the below method on wiki
Method 2
Steps
download the tool
disconnect USB cable from your device
disable USB connection in ActiveSync
reconnect USB cable
wait some 30 seconds
run the tool
If successful, device will boot itself.

[TUT] Flashing and Unbricking your Maple

Welcome! Almost everyone has done it. Bad flash and suddenly your $400 device is a paper weight! Woaaaaaah! Even I have to admit I have done it, many times. But there is hope! Read on.
It is not easy to brick a device if you actually read and follow all of the steps and guidelines before a flash. In fact, not many things can go wrong unless a USB cables disconnects during a flash, your PC crashes in the middle of a flash, or you flash a corrupt image file to your device. Statistically, most of the time people only think their device is "bricked" when actually it's not.
There are currently three methods you can use depending of the severity of the "bricking". The first method will unbrick 50% of all Maples that have simply "locked up" and won't reboot properly. The second method will unbrick 95% of all Maples that encountered flashing problems or flash failures.
** Please perform these steps and methods at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage you cause your device using this guide.
If you're new to the Maple or SmartPhones in general, please take the time to read the the forums for valuable info before you post or try any of these steps.
But, before I even get into unbricking, if your phone is in fact working right now, I highly recommend you flash HardSPL by JockyW to avoid even having to follow these steps anytime in the future. The steps and info for HardSPL and JumpSPL can be found in this thread by jockyw2001.
HardSPL basically flashes your phone with an "unlocked" security partition so all security checks are bypassed when you try to flash a cooked ROM or a ROM designed for another variation of the Maple such as HTC (SNAP), TMO Dash3G, etc. Makes life much easier when trying different ROMS or cooking and testing your own! Thanks to jockyw2001!!
Ok, so onto the fun stuff...
Flashing:
First a bit of background and info on the different types of ROM images. There are a few different types of ROMS. Carrier released "signed" ROMS, carrier "signed" TEST ROMS, and custom "unsigned" cooked ROMS. The first two are usually released by the carrier (HTC, TMO, AT&T, VOD, etc.). These carrier "signed" ROMS can be flashed anytime without any modifications to the bootloader, SPL, or the device itself. The device already has security checks and certificates in place to check the ROM you are trying to flash to make sure it is official. They do this to avoid users from sending back their "bricked" devices after a failed flash or just user error. This applies to TEST ROMS as well however, TEST ROMS are for just that, TESTING. They usually have an expiration date or "timebomb" applied when the testing period has expired. Cooked ROMS, on the other hand, require unlocking the security checks of the bootloader (SPL) in order to flash successfully. This clarify, this method has several names and is also called CID unlocking, JumpSPL/SSPL (temporarily bypass security checks), HardSPL (permanently bypass security checks), and CID bypassing. Here are the steps to a happy user and a successful flash:
Remove your SD Card
If your device is already hardSPL, proceed to step 10
If using JumpSPL, boot your device up to your homescreen
Download and unzip the ROM package file
If flashing a custom cooked ROM, run auto.bat, or auto_1.17.bat, or auto_1.19.bat (depending on your SPL version)
Follow the prompts in the DOS window
Hit "continue" (trackball button) on your phone, screen will turn black
Run RomUpdateUtility.exe (if it doesn't run via the script)
The flash will take about 5 minutes
If your device is already HardSPL, simply run RomUpdateUtility.exe and follow the prompts
Upon first boot, it will seem frozen for a few minutes, maybe even go black. This is NORMAL!
Enjoy!
Unbricking:
Your phone won't boot... Either it's locked up and simply stopped booting or you flashed your phone and it won't boot. What do you do??
Method 1: Assuming you didn't get "bricked" from a flash problem, the first and easiest method for "unbricking" your device is (this will erase ALL data on your device):
(This method works for 50% of supposedly "bricked" devices)
Remove your SIM and SD card
Remove and reinsert your battery
While holding the volume UP key, press the power button
Continue holding the volume UP key until a black screen appears saying "This operation will delete all your..."
Press "'send"' to restore to hard reset your phone
Let the phone cold boot and restore
That didn't work!! . This next method will reflash your phone to the factory ROM.
Method 2: Second way to the path of unbricking is:
(This method will unbrick 95% of all Maples)
Get a hold of your Shipped ROM. You can find these ROMS either on HTC's site (with a valid serial #), TMO's site (http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ with a valid IMEI), or right here at XDA Developers (search for it).
Download one of the factory ROMS and unpack it. **Remember, if your phone is a TMO Dash3G, you MUST use a TMO Dash3G ROM. If your phone is HTC Branded, you MUST use an HTC ROM, etc., etc., etc...
Remove the SD card if one is inserted in the phone
Remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds. I found this step to be essential to reset the device. Put the battery back in.
While holding volume DOWN button, press the power button. The phone will enter "bootloader" mode and you will see a tricolor bootscreen.
While in this mode, plug in your USB cable and you will hear the "ba-bing" USB sounds as the device connects
Unpack the ROM package you just downloaded and run RomUpdateUtility.exe. Follow the steps, check the appropriate boxes, and start the flash
Assuming all goes well, your phone will flash to the factory ROM and you can then troubleshoot what went wrong the first time that bricked your phone.
Method 3: The "goldcard" final method is a bit more intensive so follow closely:
(This method will unbrick 99% of all Maples regardless of branding)
Get a cup of coffee or tea
You will need a working Donor HTC device with a microSD slot and a microSD card that is smaller than 1GB (will be formatted) to create "goldcard" image using QMAT tools as described below
You will need QMAT. Get it from http://revskills.de/index.html.
Go to the Download Link and download the latest version and unpack QMAT
Have some coffee
Use a SD card reader in your PC to access the SD card through Windows. Format the SD card with FAT32.
* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device and connect the USB cable. If you unchecked "Allow USB Connections" in Activesync in an earlier step, make sure you recheck it so that you can establish a full USB sync connection to the HTC device.
Open QMAT and go to the "Hardware Forecsics" (version 5.04 and below) or "Calculators/Generators" (version 5.05 and up) menu and select "Generate HTC Goldcard"
In "Select device key:" select the Maple
You will need the serial number from the SD card so click the "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device" button
Once the Serial number appears in the box, click the "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD" button below
If no errors pop up and all goes well, proceed to these next steps
If you get an error or a popup saying "Goldcard for newer devices isn't implemented in newer devices", you must buy and register the software. Believe me, it's worth the small amount of $ you will spend to bring your expensive device back to life!
Now remove the SD card with the newly written Goldcard image from the Donor HTC device
Insert the SD card back into your PC using the microSD card reader adapter. Browse to the drive letter assigned to it. You will see no files on the SD card, this is normal.
(If, for some reason your PC sees the SD card as unformatted, something went wrong. Remove it and reinsert it into the Donor HTC device. The device should see the card as unformatted and ask you to format it, say yes. Now go back to the "* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device" step above and repeat the steps)
Unpack your HTC, T-Mobile, or other factory ROM and copy RUU_Signed.nbh to the SD card. Once it had finished copying, rename the file to MAPLIMG.nbh. Remove the SD card from the PC.
Make sure the Maple is off and insert the SD card
Enter bootloader mode as mentioned earlier (hold the volume down button while pressing the power button)
You will see a gray screen that says "loading". It will then find the MAPLIMG.nbh file and ask if you would like to start the update process. Follow the instructions and let the phone flash.
You can also do the update using the Rom Update Utility with the USB cable if you like
It will take 10 mins but your phone should boot fine and be back in action!
QMAT is a VERY powerful tool written by viperbjk that allows for full low level manipulation of HTC and WINCE tasks. Read all about it here http://revskills.de/index.html.
Many thanks to jockyw2001 for his amazing HTC device knowledge! Also thanks to all who contributed to this post.
Hope this tutorial helps!

great tuto!!! thanks thanks

Saw this in the main thread. Is it possible to get the signed stock rom for an S511 from this?
New to the winmo modding thing, so excuse me if I'm an idiot.

No signed ROM available at this time.

Kind of figured as much. So, I guess the next question is, once you have HardSPL applied, if the rom flash fails, can you recover with any rom?
I want to load 6.5, I'm a bit apprehensive though, because the 6.1 update for the Ace locked up mid-flash, and bricked the phone. My company's IT department is...sluggish when it comes to replacing dead phones.

No, you can only recover with a signed ROM intended for the device. Not a cooked ROM.

hi, can you tell me how you managed to get the shipped signed rom? i am scratching my head and pulling my hairs over this. thanks alot!

my bro helped me to flash the hspl by jock the other day, however, he failed to notice it was only for willow snap s511 and not for maple. (confusion btwn the htc SNAPS) now what i have is a only phone that keeps rebooting at 'smart mobility' and then resets itself back to the same screen after showing some red codes at the bottom right.
I have tried your unbricking method 1,2 but I cant find a donor so no go for 3. I have done a hard reset but to no avail and am able to bootload. below are the details. is there a way to rescue it? really appreciate any help rendered. i did not managed to find a shipped rom but i heard from gawain that you can flash a rom from sdcard? my set is htc snap s526 from singapore though. =(

I can't believe how complicated this has turned out to be.
I've read and re-read the posts, and other posts to be sure. I've even flashed a MotoQ before.
I don't know if it's Verizon or what, but my Ozone will only boot up to the HTC loading image and thats it.
I can get into bootloader and it looks like the HARDSDL is installed, and I even can start the ROM Utility, but it just shows 0% forever and then errors out about communication problem.
I'm so frustrated.

Unbricking HTC snap (Sprint)
Hi can you give step by step instructions on how to unbrick a HTC Snap, I never flashed anything on it. but recently it started acting weird and so i turned it off and turned it back on, but when i powered it on it came up to the screen where it just says "htc Snap" and its stuck there
help!
*UPDATE* I found out that this issue is addressed by HTC with a hotfix I will try that and if it doesnt work come back here

I think I've bricked my Snap as well after a failed ROM update (flashing stopped at around 98%). The phone stays on the HTC logo screen and doesn't continue with the boot. I'm able to put it on bootloader mode but when running the ROM update it always stays at 0%. The Sprint "hotfix" doesn't take care of this either. When I run the ROM update utility there is no Image Version being reported by the phone at all. I've also tried to update using the miniSD card but all I get is "No image file found".
Anyone had any experience/luck taking a phone in this state into the Sprint (or whichever) store and ask them to fix/reflash it?

I have the exact same problem! Still didn't find the answer.

i have a bricked telus snap s510, when attempting to flash the hardSPL i accidently flashed the 3V0 rom instead and bricked it. anyone know how i can unbrick it? i tried methods 1, 2 & 3 and none of them work. the gold card method just sits at loading... after entering bootloader.

tried hard reset, and when phone is turned on normally it just sits at the smart mobility screen. any suggestions on what to do?

[Problem] Flashing HardSpl trough MicroSD fail (pls help)

I had a StockSpl on my Htc touch pro and I wanted to flash an unsigned Hard-SPL from my MicroSD because I wasn't home and I didn't have the USB cable. After the screen loaded 100% the device restarted I took off the MicroSD and now it keep showing this tri-color screen:

MicroP-Raph (KEY) v5
PSOC-Raph STAGE_CVT v0x36
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
Serial.
(I've also attached a picture)
If i try to flash again from MicroSD the same HSPL it loads until 100% then restart and start to load again until i get the MicroSD card off. Or if i try to flash other StackSPL or any other ROM it stays on Loading on a grey screen.
After I went home I tried to flash the HSPL again from my computer using the USB cable, it start to load 0% then it does nothing. I've tried to flash StockSpl and other ROMs from the computer too but it does the same.
I think i've tried anything but nothing seems to work ... if someone can help me pls ... i've searched the entire forum and there's someone that had almost the same problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566796
but noone had any solutions.

You can't flash hard spl off your sd card; it's got to be done through a usb cable.
Just read through the hard spl thread; it's long, but your situation has probably been addressed. I did it almost 3 years ago, so I don't remember the tricks. That's the case with most posters, I'm afraid. Just read the thread.

can u pls tell me which thread?
this one?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
or this one?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008

Either, but read the first one. You can also look in the unlocker thread. Hell, you may just want to buy the unlocker and run that. It will flash hard spl, and the directions may be better.

I just hope they aren't trying to HSPL(hard SPL) a CDMA device :S I've made the mistake to assume the person that was posting in this forum had a GSM device and they really screwed up after a third attempt at flashing HSPL!
Usually if I have a difficult time flashing my Fuze or TP(both GSM), I remove everything to include the battery, connect the USB to an available USB port on the computer then hold the volume down key while connecting the device to the USB cable. Probably not the most friendly way but it certainly will tell you if there is a problem with your USB port/cable or even device!

My htc raphael is GSM
I've tried to hold the volume down button but it's always the same
There's no problem with the cable just that I can't flash anything because I'm stuck with a stock-spl and I can't flash a hard-spl either. When I try to flash something from the computer it starts to flashing with 0% then nothing happends until the RUU gives me the 262 Error. And when i try to flash from my mSD it just stuck with a Loading screen.

If i try to flash again from MicroSD the same HSPL it loads until 100% then restart and start to load again until i get the MicroSD card off. Or if i try to flash other StackSPL or any other ROM it stays on Loading on a grey screen.
After I went home I tried to flash the HSPL again from my computer using the USB cable, it start to load 0% then it does nothing. I've tried to flash StockSpl and other ROMs from the computer too but it does the same.
I think i've tried anything but nothing seems to work ... if someone can help me pls ... i've searched the entire forum and there's someone that had almost the same problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566796
but noone had any solutions.

Naughty Naughty..
I guess you realise now that you should ALWAYS read read read before modifying your phone in any way.
What EXACT file did you originally flash to your phone via microsd card and where did you get it from?
If you go into the bootloader screen and then connect the usb cable does it show "usb" at the bottom of the screen?
PLEASE STOP TRYING TO FLASH HARDSPL FROM MICROSD AS YOU CANT DO IT. If you could then it would be in my guide..

Yes ... I did read the part with the SD flashing but i thought it's not a bit deal to flash from mSD since the flashing via activesync is so easy.
Well ... i extracted the RUU_Signed.nbh from the Hard-SPL found HERE and i copied it to the mSD (MicroSD) and renamed it RAPHIMG.nbh.
I restarted my phone holding the volume down button and it started to load until 100% then it restarted and showed the bootloader screen and after a couple of seconds start to flash the HSPL again so after it completed 2 or 3 times of flashing and restarted i took the battery and the mSD off (I DIDN'T TOOK THE BATTERY WHILE IT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FLASHING). And when i started the phone again without mSD it showed the bootloader screen like it was waiting to get a .nbh file on mSD to start flashing again.
No matter what i do my phone start in bootloader and down it shows "Serial". If i connect the usb it shows "USB".
I tryed to do a hard reset and it seem to work but after it finish and the phone restarts is stuck with the same tri-colour screen.
Sry for trouble and thx again

I guess I missed the part in the OP where you said it was stuck in bootloader. That's not good. I would try flashing the stock raphael rom (assuming you have it). Have you tried that? I dunno, you may be stuck for good.

As Farmer Ted said your best bet now is to download your ORIGINAL Rom (from your provider) and flash it from your pc with the usb cable attached. The phone had to be in SSPL mode before running the RUU which is why everything was packed in a single exe. You may have corrupted your SPL in which case you have bricked your phone but if you can manage to flash a Stock Rom then the Stock SPL should be reflashed and you can start again with the HardSPL by following the CORRECT instructions and not making up your own lol.
Good luck.

When i bought my phone, the first thing i did was to dump the rom. So now i rebuild it from raw and tried to flash but it didn't work so i went to Orange site and i downloaded the official ROM then started to flash and ... IT WORKS
I think that the ROM was corrupted not the SPL, and since the SPL was stock it didn't allow me to flash other ROMs other then the official
Thanks for all guys I couldn't done this without your help
P.S: why did it allowed me to flash the official rom but the hspl not?

It didn't flash the hard spl because you did it all wrong; those rebuilt roms aren't exactly the same as the stock roms, so it's not surprising that wouldn't flash. Good job finding the original shipped one, though.
Now, just read mskip's instructions and you should be good to go. I think the trick is just to enter bootloader, then connect to your pc through the usb cable.
