what the .... have i done and how do i fix it

I recently had my i imate ppc repaired, as it wouldnt charge. Since then i havent been able to use the usb connection, I some how wiped out my wm 2003 rom and have been trying to reinstall it but cant seem to get any futher than the error 101 connection, I have sent the phone back to the repairer and he has said that its a sofware problem, at the moment there is no software on it, I only have the bootloader screen which says, Serial, or USB when the usb cable is connected.
Can anyone out there please let me know if there is anyway i can get the room back on this or ist it a brick.

if the boot loader screen says usb when plugged in, then you CAN flash a ROM, check the forum for whichever your device is

ok call me dumb
I have read the information and now im more confused than when i started.
how do i flash this thing. what program do i need to do it. I have found out that it is a Himalaya link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya.
thanks
Sam

OK, i don't have a Himalaya or a 2003 device, but,
download the original ROM from whoever sold you the phone, flash that to get back to a working phone. no programme required, just dl and run it, then read everything in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=243
don't do anything until you fully understand what you are doing and why
good luck
PS, please don't post multiple requests asking the same questions which are almost certainly already asked and answered in this forum,
you'll only aggravate others who can see that you're new & you've still not read enough if you're asking the question, so you're less likely to get a reply.
remember this isn't a help service from your phone company, this is other people who all started the same way you did

Brainless & Confused

Sorry guys & gals. New to this but cannot get a handle on the right thing to do. Can anybody help? Yes have read the basics but its not basic to me I am afraid.
I have got an HTC TYTNII from Orange. Need to unlock the sim card lock. Then would like to clear out all the Orange rubbish with a rom flash I think its called (havent got all the words right just yet). However as I paid a few quid forthe phone do not really wish to stew it!! If you know what I mean Harry! Cannot find hardspl etc on so on have ativesync fitted and running. All help greatly appreciated.

This webpage has a ton of files that have been extremely helpful to me so far...

dont really know how to help
but
if you want to use hardspl is on the sticky thread
activesync can be downloaded from ms depending on the os you are using.
if you want more help tell me what you need and i will guide you
satiros

Lots of reading
I suggest you do lots more reading.
However, as a starter, go to :
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/kaiser-unlock.php
Pay for the unlocking service.
Then, and only then, install HardSPL
Following that, you can install any ROM you like (for Kaiser / TYTN II)
If you install a ROM based on Windows Mobile 6.1, chances are you will have to install a new Radio coding too. You should install the one for UK Vodaphone on :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Radio
Don't worry, it works on Orange, I have it on mine.
I recommend the Alex ROM even though it is still a Beta version, it is very good.
After you install the ROM and done a hard reset (keep both soft buttons pressed down whilst pressing the reset button with your stylus) install the radio, then do another hard reset.
Bingo, it's like a different phone.

Thanks for the info have carried out the first bit awaiting reply. Where can I download HardSPL please? Having looked at your recommended ROMs Which one?.. wow some cooking I can see I will be Flashing all day!!

if you cannot look & find it right there in one of the sticky threads of this forum ... I'd suggest you do not attempt any flashing to your device !!!
as some of those stickies contained mandatory informations that you need to READ THOROUGHLY !!!

Impossible to install the HardSPL on my Tilt!!!

Hello to all,
I'm new on this forum and let me thank everyone !!!
I've an AT&T Tilt 8925.
First of all I tried both the ways suggested in the threads to install the hardSPL but I've always the same problem:
I've no problem to install on my device the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe (or the 1.93) but when I launch the KaiserCustomRUU.exe I follow the instructions on my pc and after the program has detected my rom version (1.57) and
has started the installation of the HardSPL (at least it seems) the activesync connection disappears (it becames grey) and the RUU shows an "error" and suggests me how to restore my device leaving the battery etc. (but to restore everything it's enough a just soft reset)
Please can you help me???
Alf

Please post in the appropriate thread.

??? Which thread ???
I'm really sorry....which thread is the correct one ?
Thanks

No need to apologize. The one in which you got the hardspl files.

Okay, I'm gonna answer this because it's buried in the HardSPL thread & hard to find since it was answered once about a month ago by me. Diconnect your device, do NOT reset. Run thru the recovery or close out the HardSPL flash.(You are using Flash HardSPL w/ the RUU, right?) Reconnect your device & run the utility again.
If this doesn't work it's because I'm partially guessing. You've not provided nearly enough information. I need to know what SPL version your device currently has, also if you are running a firewall & which one, also if you use any McCafee products.

Help needed/installing CID unlock

Hello everyone,
i am new to this forum and wanted to seek advice from some pro's. I just bought a ATT/Tilt/Kaiser and I am trying to install a cooked ROM but I read that you need to first do a CIC unlock? Is this true? Well i tried both and everytime no luck! I connect to my PC with usb cord and when i try to install my activsync disconnects on its own. Well due to disconnecting it never gets to complete the download process(installing cooked Rom). My question is: am I doing this wrong? Why is my activsync connection disconnecting on its own when i try to down load the cooked rom? I really appreciate any help i can get. Thank you everyone!

STOP!!!!
BEFORE YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE ...go read the kaiser wiki and pay close attention to the rom upgrading section. Trust me it will do you great good and save you from alot of headaches.
Before you flash a rom you need to get a hardspl on your device. If you don't know what this is please don't do anything to your phone until you have done your homework, taken notes, memorized steps, and taken a 8 hour sleep (well maybe skip sleep).
and remember WIKI IS YOUR BEST FRIEND

Did you NOT read about JUMP-SPL ?
Try page 1 ( yes the very first page ) of the kaiser wiki.

All answers are here .

Hello, and thanks for you advice. Yes i have actually read about the hardspl,i downloaded: kaiser-hardSPLv1, but the issue still remains. My activsync connection fails as the hardsplv1 tries to install. I am not sure why i am loosing connection. I have made sure the connection from my PC and tilt via usb cord are pluged in well. Do you know what i need to do now? Thanks Mel, also would you mind calling me or can I call you for assistance with this issue?

seriously urgent help needed with gsm htc touch pro!!!!!

hi everyone,
iv got a htc touch pro,to be precise it is my first ever smartphone and i have tried to flash and add a new rom to my handset.i read all forums and threads on various sites about how to perform a successful flash and rom.installation of the rom were successful,but my phone does not load up to main screen at all!does that mean my touch pro is bricked????however,i can go to the bootloader and try a hard reset,but that doesnt work either.i have found out that my handset was already unlocked using Olinex.
Please can anyone help me out???im really really stressed out.
many thanks.

Ok, best thing to try is to download the official factory rom.
Start the phone and get it to the boot-loader screen.
Plug it in to your PC and wait for the word USB to show up at the bottom of the phone's screen.
Next run the factory rom installation on the PC and go through the steps. It should hopefully flash fine back to the original OS.

thanks alot,that really helped!!!!you havent a clue how stressed out i was when that happened.anyways,i could do with some more help.since i bought this phone,my net has NOT been working.it was officially branded on vodafone but it was unlocked by previous owner.i have ordered official settings from Htc and o2 themselves and still no result.anyone have any solution(s) for this problem?????
like alot of people have said to me,without net on these smartphones,the TP is nothing!so if anyone has a solution,please DO tell me about it
Many thanks.

I would disagree that without internet smartphones are nothing.... but that's not the point. Do you know which ROM you're using?
Are you using a stock rom? if so, from which company.
Alot of people here have their signature to show what rom/radio/phone (type) they have. it makes it easier for those who want to help to provide answers or suggestions faster and you wont have to get nagged asking the same question everytime

Firstly - slow down!
Not quite sure if you have a problem now or not, and if you do, if its the same as you started with.
From what you have written:
You have read some stuff
You have flashed some stuff
it hasnt worked as you expected
you asked for help on here
you may have flashed some more stuff
you may or may not have a problem still.
No offence, but its pretty tricky to offer much in the way of useful assistance when we dont know what state the phone is in.
Dont panic - enter the bootloader. Note what it says (SPL)
Reset, note the rom & radio versions.
See what works & what doesnt.
Read the forum rules - especially about starting new posts and how to name them (seriously urgent help needed isnt very descriptive). Use the search function to see if your problem has been answered (lots of connectivity issues will have been). If you still are having problems, reply to this post, or make a new one if more appropriate, saying clearly what you have (including rom & radio as appropriate) and what you are stuck with.
Oh, welcome to the forums.
