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,

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

OHHH lord dutty we need your new rom
Hi all. I have a 750v from vodafone and I decided to unlock it, in order to use it with another provider. I downloaded the magic unlock and I used it. It worked well because now I have my terminal unlocked, but it cannot connect to any network (it accepts any sim, but it doesnt connect to any network). So I tried to use olipro hardspl, because I thought it was a radio problem but I didnt success:
1) I can make the first step and the loader flashes phone well.
2) I can press on second step and the flash process runs well, but when it says "sync the phone, look at the program, install it and then press ok" I cannot see any installation process on my treo. So I press ok on my pc, but I receive an error: "unhandled exception has occurred.....click continue o quit blabla". (Ihave net 2.0 installed also with service pack).
3) I cannot reach step 3.
So my question is: did someone have the same problem? Do you know how can I solve it? Maybe I can flash another radio? If yes where can I get it?
Thank you.
pls guys help , I really need help
Hello. I just got an HTC Touch Pro, and I want to upgrade the ROM, but when I try to upgrade to Hard SSP I lose the connection to my PC, and the device hangs and has to be reset. I tried copying SSPL-Manual.exe to my device and running it from there, but it also crashes the device. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

did you follow these instructions exactly:
from hardspl thread by rapheal elite team:
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder. make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.)
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
3) run RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe,
4) follow steps in the RUU, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.
5) it should go to black screen now.
6) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
7) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.90.OliNex.

Thanks for the help, but I followed the instructions exactly and it still hung and gave me "Error [260] connection". Windows Mobile Device Center closed and I had to reset my phone. I've also tried copying the SSPLManual.exe file to my phone and running it from there, and it also hung. I did a hard reset, but that didn't help. Any other suggestions?
Has anybody come up with a solution for this? I see on other forums that other people are having the same problem. I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks!

after your screen goes to the boot launcher you have to go to unplug and uncheck allow usb connections in activesync (and then replug of course) The installation should then continue
I haven't read up on your particular device but that is pretty standard for hard spl (the unplug-replug)
Thanks, but my screen never gets to the boot launcher--it hangs at the Today screen with the little "please wait" wheel, which stops turning.
see if this helps:

Hey i had the same problem, the circle thing would spins and stop and hangs.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503
this file did it for me hope it works for you, gl and happy flashing.
if you have Sprint, Telus or Alltel or Bell, flash default package (Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.zip).
Thanks! I'll give it a try and report back.
I'm normally good with stuff like this ^_^
Not today though
I promise, I followed the instructions to the letter, trying to install WM 6.5 on my phone (S710). I did the USPL thing first, then basically did the exact same thing with the files I got from the WM6.5 "Official v1.0" thread. Is that the right version of WM 6.5?? I'm a bit lost. So I feel like I did the USPL stage twice.
Now here's where things get weird.
When I get to the RUU stage, ready to install - activesync stops recognizing the phone. Says it's not connected. The RUU however sees the phone, but shows blank for the current installation. I press 'update' and both the phone and the RUU go to 100% in about 2 seconds (so obviously it's not doing much).
I reboot the phone and it's like nothing ever happened. Back to my crappy version of windows (infested with my stinky network's own software).
Have I given enough info? What am I doing wrong? Should I start again from the beginning? If so which files should I have and like I said :'( what am I doing wrong?
Epic love and hugs to anybody that can help

i've had a problem similar with this. make sure the uspl is done properly. and you must run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe first. then uspl: uspl_116_jockyw.bat, after all done, phone will have black screen, run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from uspl folder. (the tutorial is in the archive of uspl). aftel all that install new rom. i have wm6.5 official v1.0 too, work fine.
oh, you may try to start flashing from bootloader(turn off phone, keep the camera button pushed, and insert usb cable)

MS has added "exchanced ...." checkbox in USB to PC connection - just disable it (uncheck).
when checked - works only with synce on linux but not with activesync on XP
