Yup, first time disaster. I followed the guide here, installed the necessary Cert_SPCS.cab/EnableRapi.cab files, rebooted, and then started the Shelltool update...only to belatedly notice a notification screen on my 8125 asking if I wanted to run one of the programs.
I said yes, but even though the update completed, my 8125 is stuck at the boot screen.
Worse, I reset the 8125 into boot loader mode and tried to flash back, only to get a 300 error. I tried to use an updated RUU and ROM set, only to get 264 or 274 errors.
Any hope here, or did I just manage to brick my 8125?
Are you trying to flash an offical rom while in bootloader mode?
Yup. Tried to flash the official 8125 ROM from HTC. Tried to flash a number of different ROMs, actually - I always get a 264 or 274 "Communication" error, except for the official ROMs, which gave me a 300 error.
Not looking good here...

Been there, done that. In fact, that was the thread I first read. I've tried to flash to Wizard_love, but I get a 264 error.
From what I've read in the RUU Docs, a 264/274 error is rare, and fatal in this case. It's not looking good...
(On the bright side, the iPhone release has created a flood of used 8125's on eBay )
I did a little searching for you,

I read some were how to flash a phone that has errors, I couldn't find that post. Maybe someone else here knows of that post You didn't mention is your phone G3 or G4 I did find this post, doesn't look good. I hope someone has a better answer for you, good luck.

Thanks for the links, unfortunately it's still a no-joy situation here.
This is a G4 Cingular 8125 - sorry I forgot to mention that earlier.
ActiveSync was set to allow USB connections, and I've tried using the official RUU update utility from HTC for the Cingular 8125 with the 8125 in Bootloader (3 color) mode - I get an error 274.
I then tried the Wizard_Love version - error 264.
Next, the MB WM6 ROM - error 300.
Finally, in desperation I try the Shelltool app method again, even though I can't copy over the necessary bootloaders. It hangs up mid-flash, as expected.
Can't go forward, can't go back. Looks like I've got myself a brick...sigh...
upd: ahh, it is g4.....
so ignore whats below
it IS NOT brick ,trust me i had exactly same prob while testing cooked ROM - all yyou need is to download chinese rescue ROM, THEN flash it by its RUU, then RUU wLOVE, then flash ..anythin(g3)...and then flash IPLSPL, as it will be unequal, usually.
its unclear, why RUU cant do flash sometimes, but i believe, that you do not have brick( i had same situation 3 times = 14 flashes..;/ but machine is alive !)
of course, you may have same errors with chinese..if connecting, reconnecting etc is not working, then...use any rescue ROM closest to original, old hogs. check your firewall, and remember - SR device before EACH try - oterwise you surely will have 300 error - 1 try for each reset, no more.
chinese rescue ROM(you MUST flash wlove after that 1), or shelltool will lead you to...3bars.;/

wizard love rescue ROM:

Just a "happy ending" update:
Was just about to buy a new 8125 on eBay, when I gave it another try - hard reset the device twice in a row, then tried again to flash back to the original Cingular 8125 ROM -- it worked!
Then, in a fit of flashing madness, I went ahead and flashed one of Faria's latest WM6 sets -- and it worked as well!
So, not only don't I have brick, I actually got it upgraded. Whew...
pls help for flashing rom

Hi vistar,
Hopefully, you will have it sorted out by Christmas!
Yes, it is Vista problem and you need to change the USB Vista driver in your PC to XP driver.
I don't mean changing the Windows Mobile Device Center to Active Sync 4.5!
But the USB drivers. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
I believe that the first post should solve your problem. If not try the others. Basically, in Device Manager of your PC, the USB driver should be the old XP driver dated 2004!
Any other year won't do you good!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
KOR!
It is highly recommended NOT to use Vista ... even with the proposed driver patch.
I have developed a Radio ROM issue because of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347375
If you are using Vista, it is highly recommended for you to use Virtualisation and install XP.
I have been using XP under VMware forever without problems as far as flashing my Qtek is concerned ... until my Vista mis-adventure that is. I know that VMWare is not free, but you may want to give http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx a try.
I flash my two Universal at least once a day under Vista with no problems at all.
Flashing Radio, CE ROM and ExtROM with Vista hasn't created any problem for me.
Vista like XP automatically install latest update from Microsoft site, this update also includes drivers too.
Just before flashing make sure that your old 2004 driver is not changed to the latest 2006 or 2007 driver!
That's all folks,
KOR!
will try the threads above thanks, i have tried in vista, and also i use vmware too, with xp pro spâ. which seems to work better but get error ăđă, radio update error, i think i have wiped the radio??? as when the first screen comes up it says:

Radio:
EXT Rom:
Bla bla:
to:
Radio: 2.?.??
EXT Rom: 2.2.??
Bla bla: 2.2.??
I cant remember what numbers came up, but it was blank at top and version numbers at bottom.
any help would be grateful
ok i got it to work , through vmware, i ran PsiDOC_WM5_20041_Taster, which worked think its WM̀ still but its back on, I want WM̉ though, i'll try again.. some advice wouldn't go a miss. thanks.
Note: If anyone has problems blame vista..... Good OS, Bad PDA Partner...
ok every rom i try fails with the following: Error 114, Radio Rom Upgrade error.

42.42.p8
2.00.41 WWE
and bootloader v2.01 (G4)
just incase this info is needed.
thanks, i will leave it on WM5 till an answer is given, preferably before christmas...lol.

If you have tried all the links I have given, you could have easily upgraded the ROM to Windows Mobile 6.
Read carefully, my above post #3.
Did you know that you could just flash the CE ROM (Main ROM), if the Radio is not flashing.
KOR!
KOR support center !!!
How do i Flash that alone? do i just remove the radio file from the WM6 folder and run RUU again??? just to confirm...
Thanks M8 much appreciated.

Read the four links, I have given you.
1. nk.nbf (CE ROM - Main ROM)
2. ms_.nbf (Extended ROM - Storage ROM)
3. radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
If the ROM is in .exe format, than excute the ROM without hooking your universal to the PC. In the temporary folder, you will find all the files.
Read,
KOR!
sorry what i meant was how do i flash the files to the device??? i have all the files ready..
do i remove radio from folder then execute RRU? or do i use a different way?
Thanks for your support KOR!!!
the later worked perfectly on my G4 device, i ran the update without the device attached, put into bootloader, and found all files in temp directory, then removed the radio file. connected the bootloaded device, then ran the update, it worked straight away, only in xp/vmware though.
Thankyou..... I really mean that KOR..

Hi Vistar,
You are welcome. If you download the drivers from the first link in post #3, then you can use Vista without any problems to flash your device.
Just make sure that the driver is dated 2004 before flashing the device. Check the driver for the Portable Devices ->USB Disk in the Device Manager of your PC.
Best Regards,
KOR!
BTW, I did reply to your PM.

Perhaps that's because both your Unis are G3 - and mine is a G4.
Hi people! First I want to thank all of you that make a great job on helping and cooking all of these apS for our prophets.
I've looked in the others post for my problem and tried out all of methods explained but nothing helped me.
My problem consist on the boot of my S200. After i made an upgrade to WM6 it stays blocked on the first boot ( QTEK Image ) and stays there until battery goes down. I tried tu upgrade others ROM's by tho BOOTLOADER way but it doesnt work. So I'm completly bypassed by this problem.
If anyone have a solution please post it.
Regards
which roms? ipl spl versions,device model?
Qtek S200 (alias Orange SPV m600)
ipl 2.10.0001
spl 2.20.0001
I first upgrade to WM6 cooked by GULUM, i found it here.
When i wanted to upgrade another version but it doesnt function, until i found Crystal v4.
And now my machine wan't boot, it stays on Qtek screen.
I have the same problem...
Fict it, just installed an older ROM and my htc works again. Gonna try to install a newer ROM now.
TmKing, can you explain your method and the you ROM you used ?
Thank You
I installed this one: Fantastic b4 step1 (got this from this forum)
Now I have WM5 back, I tried to install another ROM, but didn't work. BUt it's too late to do it now, so I 'l try again tomorrow.

This also works

Have a look to the post 1 in my signature link~~~~~
Enjoy!!!!
Hehe, yes, indeed, I wanted to do everything verry fast. I wasn't aware of the new method to upgrade my HTC.
If you follow the appropriate steps, you will not have this boot problem.
Are there different versions of JumpSPL? The only one I have found was V.1 which was posted by Pof on 2007-05-10.
I can't find the newer versions of JumpSPL and I don't really know which one to use.
Will someone please help this noob?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061
Yep, I just did this yesterday (always late to the party, am I!) and followed that script. Worked fine.
My path:
AT&T Tilt shipped with 6.0
Flashed AT&T stock 6.1, let it do all the mojo on first boot (updates radio to a valid 6.1 radio...)
Followed script in link, did not need to pull battery (or just forgot to) but did pull sim and sd card. JumpSPL1.56 worked fine.
After that flashed Not A Treo Fan's v 2.0 AT&T rom, which is working nicely...
Ok, thanks for the link. Now how do I change the activesync connection settings?
Ok. Figured it out. Connection settings are in Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista). However, they are only accessible when your device is UNPLUGGED. Did not know that. Thanks guys and gals for your help!
Hi guys, i have the palm treo 750 with the wm 6.5 and o need to go back to the original wm 5.0. I've tried everything but no results. i put the rom in my sd card in did the hard-reset, but didn't loading at all, i tried many differents roms, but none of them worked. It shows that tri colour screen with these informations: Palm Tr ( IPL- 0.20)
Palm tr (SPL- 0.24.0000
Another thing my treo doesn't connect with pc, so i have to to do everything with sd card.
I'm using windows 7 64bits.
Please help me i need to downgrade
Thanks
You can't flash a ROM from an SD card without doing a successful HardSPL first. By virtue of your post (SPL- 0.24.0000) you haven't done it correctly yet.
I don't know if there is a way to HardSPL the phone from an SD card. Search this forum to see if anyone has reported doing it.
PS ... don't go back to WM5. There are many official and stable versions of WM6.0 which is much better than WM5.
Thx, but i still not having any result, if anybody else can help, pls, i'm trying everything.
Well, obviously you aren't trying everything ... like doing simple research.
A quick Google search turned up that Palm doesn't have (or plan to put out) a 64bit USB driver for the Treo 750. That would explain why you can't connect it to your PC.
This thread on the subject is pretty old, but then again, so is the phone ...
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/crawl_message?board.id=activesync&message.id=2978
So, you might want to find a PC with a 32bit OS on it and try getting your Treo to sync to it instead. If that works, then installing a factory ROM will be fairly easy. Keep in mind, you might have to edit the payload.xml file because the installer will see a more recent version of the ROM already on your phone (assuming you really have WM6.5 on it now).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345531
There are plenty of official WM6.0 ROMs available. That would be your best option. You can find many of them here:
http://rapidshare.com/users/PJNMEM/?byfilename=1&password=&subpassword=
Problem solved, just install a program that made my mobile come back to the wm 5.0.
Thanks all
You might want to share your solution with the board in case others have the same issue and need help.
