Hi all,
How to flash the rom for a Wizard G4 without activesync (only with the bootloader mode)??
I had and error with my previous update and i need to re-install it in bootloader mode...
Thanks in advance,
TD.
Simply,get the phone in Bootloaders by pressing Camera + soft reset,it'll go into Bootloaders (RGB) and hook up the phone with pc via usb cable,watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloader Screen,if its there just run the RUU in the rom,it'll start to flash.

No, Its comm manager + camara + softreset...........
Don't work
Yes, my Wizard is in bootloader mode (the usb indicator is here), but when I run the RUU, no device is detected (it's normal because RUU needs activesync connection) !!! Same effect with the official ROM !!
Please help...
for your information, when my it re-boot it is blocked on:
IPL 2.17.0001
SPL 2.17.0001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 6.1.0.0
Thx,
TD.
erm i always press the camera button and softreset and it gives me a RGB

yes it works !
Perhaps...
Perhaps you can try the sd card method, but one of the guru's here would have to confirm that. When my usb was busted, that method was suggested to me (click the link in my siggy). I don't have a G4, so I am not sure if the sd method would even work, but it is worth a read, and like I said, perhaps one of the guru's could confirm or deny this method.
SD Card
How to flash with SD? Do you have a link to do this?
Thx,
TD.
hello everyone!
Untill a few minutes ago I had a similar struggle; my Activesync connection was down exactly when I wanted to flash my device; I read all what was readable and after trying to flash tie new rom from the card, i just realised that if i press the usb cable firmly into a direction, the device suddently got recognised. SO, i guess that too much use of the usb port gets electrical contacts to get loose.

Can someone upload an old ROM for the prophet? I can't start up my prophet, but I've got it in bootloader. So I nedd a little bit old ROM so I can install on it.
Understand?
Thanks!
Look for the first link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1166927&postcount=2
Are this ROM old ROM?
Not really old but if your phone stuck in bootloader this one is ok
I can't make it, it says that i should connect to Active Sync, and how im I suppose to do that?
Go in bootloader (screen with 3 coulours) by Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camara + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and keep pressing camara button till appear the Boot Loader.)
When you are in bootloader logicaly your PC must detect the Prophet, then run the update
Sorry for my bad English but I'm Franch
Yes i've got it in bootloader, and its stands USB on the PPC screen. But it aint the Active Sync that finds it, it says "Uknoknown Unit" or something when i connect them together..
Active Sync isn't a problem, update work or there is an error message?
In right corner down on the PC sreen it comes up "A unkknown Device connected" or something like that, nothing more is happening..??
It sayd that it can't recognize the unit..

In bootloader mode, on connecting via usb ,if u r getting 'USB' written on left down corner of ppc then ur ppc can be flashed via proper RUU and nk.nbf
Be sure that this nk.nbf dont include ipl/spl parts for risk free flashing and for not getting brick device.
thanx

Im trying to flash a ROM with that, but it coming up on the screen that "Not connected". It's standing that i nedd to connect with Active SYnc!!
could somebody upload an ipl/spl lower than 2.09 or higher but not 2.09^^
rest doesn't matter language english or german would be good...
Hi All,
Out of the blue my HTC Vox stopped booting. I mean, it would load to the windows mobile screen and then stay there till eternity. Removing my memory card and SIM also did not help! I then tried the hard reset option.
Even after hard reset it sometimes boots(1 out of 15 times) and when it does...it hangs after 10 to 12 minutes. Still have not put my sim n memory card into the phone.
I tries flashing the ROM using the ARA 1.27 ROM. After it rebooted to the bootloader, the flash utility gave a connection error! It did not connect to ActiveSync and stayed at the bootloader screen.
I still do not know how to flash it successfully.
If anybody can help me out, I'll be extremely grateful!
Thanks
Prateek
take the battery out, put it back.
connect your Vox (USB).
Hold the camera button and turn on your Vox.
you should see a red, blue and green screen (if my memory works as it should) and the computer should recognize the device, though you won't be able to explore it with activesync.
Run the SDA_ApplicationUnlock thingy (if you need to)
now try flashing the device.
If it flashes but after 3% restart, you need to do a CID unlock right before flashing.
hope that helps.
Invalid Vendor ID
Hi MoRkusReX,
Its giving me Invalid Vendor ID. How do I CID unlock it?
Thanks,

first post , download the last file:
Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip
There a Readme file in there, you should read it.
post back where you're done.
No Luck!
Hi MoRkusReX,
Since my phone is not booting into the OS thus I cannot use the UPSL_CID provided in the link.
Only once I have been able to boot into my OS and followed the instructions given in the link. The phone comes to the Linux black screen and then switchers off. Then the ROM Update Utility with which i'm trying to update the ROM gives an error that "cannot connect to the phone".
So, now I need to flash my ROM from the bootloader itself. Have managed to get mtty and connect to the phone. But even trying ResetDevice command, the phone does not boot.
Can you tell me the exact steps to flash a new ROM from the bootloader itself including CID unlocking? Can it be done??
Thanks,
Prateek

yes it can be done.
you don't need to boot to OS, I couldn't either. after the steps from my first post here, run the uspl_116_jockyw.bat file. follow instructions.
that will unlock the CID.
Now the VOXs' screen should be white or so... then you run the ROM update thingy.
Hi..
I connected with the usb and got the bootloader screen.
tried running the SDA unlock program...the button to unlock the phone is grayed out. Cant click on it.
Next tried running uspl_116_jockyw.bat file
..cannot connect to phone and hence copy of haret.exe did not occur and neither did pmemtest run successfully...
What am I doing wrong??
ok..
first steps again..
battery out, back in.
connect USB
CAMERA button + Turn on.
now.. does windows do that USB sound? you know.. "tu du" ?
No sound....using win 2k Nt server edition...
but has detected my phone once on that USB and then allows me to talk to the phone using mtty....as in commands like ResetDevice work on the phone using mtty..
also, cannot get into bootlaoder mode with USB plugged in...
Steps and their results:
Disabled USB connections in activesync
Booted to the bootloader (red and green and Blue screen)
Connected the USB
"USB" displays on the left hand side corner
Now tried unlocking using Apllication unlock...grayed out button...
Tried running USPL bat but stops and says phone not connected when copying haret.exe
Using windows NT server 2003
if the SDA Application unlock button is grayed, of course the USPL won't work.
why "Disabled USB connections in activesync"?
And.. I doubt this is the problem but you should check on an winXP pc, I did it on XP.
No Luck!
Tried the same with USB enabled...same result
basically the thing we need to figure out is why your computer doesn't recognize the device.
the rest is obvious.
when I go to bootloader on my device windows pops up with a message says windows found device "and it's ready to use". like when you cannot every other USB item.
have you tried doing that on an XP system?
Going to do that now....lets hope it works....
Does ur activesync turn green when u connect at bootloader?
Also, I have removed my sim and memory card...thats okay right?
yeah, I removed both of them.
and no, activesync didn't turn green, but Windows recognized the device when I turned it on. turn on the speakers and wait for that winxp "USB connected" sound.
Still No Luck!
Tried doing the same on win xp...
no luck...
it connects to win xp ans says new device found...and ur USB device is now
ready to use...
after that i try application unlock it still gives me grayed out button....
ne suggestions???
Finally....
Finally got it done...
Thanks for all the help....
I managed to cold boot into the system for one time ans then SDA unlocked it and then ran UPSL .... it ran and then balnked out...
then i disconnected the usb before the ROM update utility and unchecked the USB option in active sync...
then i flashed it with the ARA rom...
Seems to be working okay now..will test for a day and see...
thanks a lot

I'm not sure this step was necessary but as long as it worked.. good times.
btw, how did you boot into the system?
kept trying hard reset and repeated booting...( it was booting 1 in 15 times type...)..and one lucky time it didnt hang..so used that window to slip in the SDA unlock and USPL..
thanks ...
you're welcome.

OK lets start at the basics...... In bootloader mode (tricolour screen) what text does it say at top of the screen?
Have you DEFINITELY Sim Unlocked and CID unlocked?
it says these things
kais130 mfg
spl-10.0.Olipof
cpld-8
Ok that confirms you have the capability to flash. I have seen in the past some people have managed to flash one time only using jumpspl but then their device reverts back to original bootloader...I was one of those people
Next question then...Can you boot the phone normally and gain an activsync connection to it?
yes
i can use my phone normally
only i cannot put a new image in
Are you using Xp or vista? If using vista it may be worth trying a reboot... sometimes it goes doolally with its usb ports. If you cannot see the phone through WMDC or activsync after a reboot it is worth going to SYSTEM (on your PC) viewing non present devices through device manager,( Drop to Command prompt and type... Devmgmt.msc set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 ) removing the relevant phone connection and then re attaching it so that windows re detects it.
If you can get a connection via actvisync (win XP) or WMDC (vista) to your phone then all should be ok. Uncheck the activesync/ WMDC "allow USB connections" and try again.
If this still doesn't work then search around here for MTTY. That will allow you to specify the usb connection to the device...amongst other things.
thank you for your time
i have win xp and activesync works nice
the problem is when bootloader starts
When you attempt flashing, do you do it from the device already booted into windows mobile or direct from bootloader?
Which ever way you have tried it, try ther other way.
Not teaching you to suck eggs but just in case you dont know.... To get direct to bootloader hold camera button and soft reset with stylus whilst holding camera button down and the tri colour screen should appear.
With device at the bootloader screen, Can you confirm that you hear the windows "noise" when you unplug and re plug the USB cable just as you would when plugging and unplugging the device normally. This will determine if the device has connection at the bootlaoder stage.
why not just flash using the microsd card. its much easier that way
yes it has connection
the thing is that i have already flashed as i told before with dutty's v4
now i can't
Usually Error 260's are related to the USB port functionality ( Port can't be opened etc).
The SD card method or MTTY should sort you out.
thx again
hope it works
at least the sd trick worked!!!!
now running on winmob 6.1
Glad to hear you sorted it.
almost
i cannot use my sd card cause i have to have it formated in order to put a new rom in

disable USB connections in ActiveSync and flash.
This Link gives a list of eror codes for Hermes, and probably the same for Kaiser.
It's likely that you have a USB port error - maybe try changing the USB port you use or a different sync cable - or just stick to SD card flashing in the future - I keep an old 1gig card for this.
this IS the problem...i cannot flash...
it stays in the bootloader with the message i wrote

Not trying to oversimplify things, but is the device fully charged? Did you have any problems during the flash? Which SPL did you flash? Have you tried a hard reset? Can you get to the bootloader screen to verify the version of SPL installed vs. the version you tried to install?
Just a few questions to help us try to figure out what is going on. Take care!

How are you trying to get to the bootloader screen? Have you fully read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533976
Finally, I would recommend downloading the original ROM and installing it. The ROM for the Tilt is here:
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94
That is straight from HTC's website, and you might look to see if your specific phone is there. You should be able to download it, connect your phone with the USB cable and run the downloaded file from your computer to bring your phone back to it's original state.
If that works, I would then re-read the link above thoroughly and give it another shot. Hope this helps!

To access bootloader, you should hold down the camera button (on right side of phone) and the use the stylus to press the reset button (on bottom of phone.) When the phone goes blank, release the camera button.
When you do this, do you still get the blank/black screen?

Okay if you can't access the boot loader then you need to go higher up. I think the chain is Radio Rom, then SPL, then OS. Basically your SPL is gone, that is why your screen is black and you can't get into the boot loader --- cause its gone. So no duh, it can't load the OS. So, your only hope is that your radio rom is working so you can access the phone via cmd interface programmed within it.I really don't know what i'm talking about, but I've bricked my phone too and with some guidance (er explicit instructions in chat) I was (er she was) able to fix it [my situation was far more complicated with a "security locked" device, and a "radio from hell"].

Thx man , appreciate this !!
hi , i cant connect my vox to pc ...
when i run bootloader i can see bootloader USB .. but pc not search .
How i can remove cid ;/
When i put on vox i see windows mobile ... and orange picture... and END .. please help me ;(
Why not tell a little about the history of this device and your motivation to change the CID?
- has it ever worked (Windows mobile coming up)?
- has it ever connected to a PC while operating (Active Sync or Device Center)?
- do you know what the CID is good for?
- what makes you want to change the CID?
really sory for my english ... ;(
active sync dont search phone dont connect.
when i put on phone i see windows mobile loading next i see orange picture and the end STOP ... when i flash phone sd card i change name file next i put on bootloader and error: invalid certificate and phone off.
Well - it seems like the device does not boot correctly any longer.
First try to re-initialize the device:
- press both soft-keys and keep them pushed
- push the power on button (keep the two hotkeys pressed still) until the green light comes on, release power button
- still keep your fingers on the two softkeys until you see a prompt on the screen
- push the "send button" (Green Call button) to reset the device
If this does not help, you will need to re-flash the original ROM first to make sure that the device has no HW problem. Flashing is possible in basically two ways:
- via a connection to the PC (ActiveSync is NOT required)
- via SD card (special card setup required, aka "Gold Card")
I recommend the 1.st option. What you need is a PC, the orginal ROM from the vendor (I suspect Orange for device) and the Updateprogram for this ROM. SW + Updateprogram is usually one package.
Once you have all this:
1. Enter Bootloader on the device:
-- switch off
-- push camera key and keep pushed
-- insert USB connected to PC
-- wait for the 3-color screen to appear
2. start the update program on PC and follow instructions
I never did the last method - so try the other two first.

Rootcause of your problem is that you try to load a ROM that does not fit to your device (CID mismatch). You will only be able to load such a ROM with the USPL active. You can only get the USPL active (afaik) with
- either OS running + USPL jump
- or HardSPL (replace the old SPL with USPL on device) the USPL
Afaik, you have no option to replace the bootloader SPL with the USPL that can bypass the CID check if you do not have the OS running! Also for "HardSPL" you will have to do the first method (via OS + Jump to USPL) one time. There is no gain with HardSPL unless you want to flash a new ROM many times a day (so for ROM chefs usually).
So again: Its so easy, follow my instructions in post #4
