i've been trying to update my tilt's rom and I don't know what im doin wrong. i've tried flashing mbarvian's solace v 1.5 rom and revrom v8 (sorry I can't remember who cooked the rom) and neither is working.
i've followed every step in the sticky for noobs like me. but when I get to step 3, which is flashing hardspl, I get lost. I moved the jumpspl files to my phone and ran jumpspl 1.93, since 1.53 seems to do nothing. it goes into bootloader, I disconnect usb, reconnect it, and try to run kaisercustomruu so I can flash hardspl 3.29. but when I try to run kaisercustomruu it just shuts down my computer. I don't know whts going on. it seems like im the only one running into this problem. i've spent the past 3 days searching the forums for a solution or reason why kaisercustomruu shuts down my comp and I can't find anything.
when I downloaded mbarvians solace rom there was another update utility that was included in the fil so I ran that. it worked, I clicked all necessary boxes, and the update initialized. but it just stays at 0 percent, and eventually gives me error 262 "update utility error" or something like that.
I tried restarting my comp and even hard reset my device. nothing is working.
im currently running the HTC windows 6.1 rom (the one straight off the site) and have hardspl 3.56.
the reason im trying to go to hardspl 3.29 is because mbarvian and the majority of people on his thread that had succes with his rom are running 3.29.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Well, you can't flash custom ROM's till you HardSPL your Tilt/Kaiser.
I noticed you didn't mention anything about disableling USB Connections in ACtive Sync/WMDC. Did you do that?
Also, kaisercustomruu is generic. Try copying the one from the ROM dl into the HardSPL dl folder. Another suggestion is do a search for flashing hardspl from sd card.
Why not use the sticky and then ask in the relevant thread? "The Sticky"

You will definitely get more help in that thread. But you already have hardspl, so read the part about flashing cmonex's 3.29 from your SD card, that looks like that will solve your problems.

I was going to agree with this, but then I read the flashing guide, and it says flashing from the SD card only works if you're upgrading. From the sounds of it, he doesn't have HardSPL on his phone, otherwise the cooked ROMs would flash.
To the OP, I would try another KaiserCustomRUU.exe. Just copy it from one of the custom ROMs you've downloaded and paste it into the folder you have HardSPL in. Be sure to delete the one that came with HardSPL first. If that doesn't work, maybe you could try a different computer? I don't think you need an ActiveSync connection to flash since JumpSPL puts the phone into flash mode. (Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong.) Just download HardSPL, extract, run JumpSPL, plug your phone in, and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe. It should flash!
I do have hardspl installed its v3.56. I just wanna try 3.29 cos mbarvian and the people on his rom thread that had success with his rom have 3.29 installed.
I read the flashing for noobs sticky and i've been following it verbatim. when I went to try and format my SD card to fat32 it wouldn't let me. I used resco explorer and when I tried to format it it said it wasn't unlocked. that's one thing I failed to ask about in my original post: how do I unlock the SD card?
I used 2 other kaisercustomruu's from other roms and they all forced my comp to shut down. I even ran it on my gf's comp and it shut hers down too.
help!

Take your microsd card and place it into the converter (normal sized sd card). There is a switch on the side. Place the switch in the opposite position of "lock"

It sounds like you do not have kaisercustomruu in a folder, which contains .nbh file. Rather you are probably attempting to run it from your desktop???

Ah, you have to use a SD Card reader on a PC to format it, not through the phone.
each time I ran kaisercustomruu it was in a folder with an nbh file. does it have to be by itself with the nbh file? just kaisercustomruu and the rom file?
oh that's all I have to do? just put it in the SD adapter and flip the switch? does it have to be in a computer for it to work?

No.... there is nothing wrong with your SD card.
Do this:
1. Remove your SD card and your SIM Card. Start your device.
2. Connect your Device to your PC Via ActiveSync. Make sure you are fully connected.
3. Unzip and copy the exe file of attached JumpSPL to your device memory.
4. Run Jump/Soft SPL on your device
5. Wait for the bootloader screen to appear and "USB" to show.
6. Right-click activesync icon on the PC tray, go into connection settings and ensure Allow USB Connections is unchecked
7. Unplug your device from the USB port, wait 5 - 20 seconds, plug it back in.
8. Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe of the desired HardSPL and flash HardSPL3.29
To see if you have successfully flashed the 3.29 HardSPL press the camera and power button and press the soft reset once all at the same time, you will see the four color screen and it should display the SPL version.
Whether your SD card is locked or unlocked has no barrier on flashing SPL on your device, since you need to have it out of the device when you perform the SPL install.
Fat32 sometimes would not allow operation of certain files on your PC. thats why sometimes PPC programs or files would not open on your PC and would give you error msgs. Now some folks tried to create a virtual fat32 folder that could in some instances open or run fat32 programs that are created for mobile devices, but in most cases that would crash your PC OS and shuts it down. Same story with netCF files.
So in essence if you were to follow my instructions above, you will get it done and it should not take longer that two minutes to complete the process.
Again.... DO NOT SHORTCUT THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Good luck

I did do all that. like I said I followed the instructions to a tee, but when I ran the kaisercustomruu that was included with the hardspl file my comp just shut down.
question: if I run jumpspl and then use the htc update utility to flash hardspl, would that work? (the htc update utility is the update utility that worked when I tried to flash the rom but it just sat at 0%)

but in the sticky it says that in order to change to cmonex's 3.29 i'd have to flash via SD card. that's why I was wondering how to format it to fat32. but i'll try to do it again and see if it works this time. thanks for the files
my sandisk 8g micro sdhc won't let me delete files, ad files, or even reformat the card

can't you read? Why are you doing Cmonex? JUST FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS. hardSPL3.29 is same protocol on both CMONEX and POF and whoever tells otherwise is full of BS. Again.... just follow my instructions..

Are you trying to add files to your card by inserting it into your laptop using an adapter?
BTW certain adapters for some reason or another will not allow you to do that after the SD card has been placed and used in a phone.
Can you access the SD card through ActiveSync? If you have installed programs on your SD card and you are trying to delete them from the SD card it would not let you as there is a shared violation in that process. The way to do is that you would need to remove the programs first from your device by using the Remove prompt in your settings page on your phone, then going to your SD card and deleting the program files. If you do it in the reverse order you will run into problems; Remnants of those programs will still reside in your main memory.
The attached is a utility that would help format SD card. DO NOT UNZIP IT. Just create a folder on your PC and save the attached in it, When done, change the file type of the attached file from zip to exe. Then right hand click it and do the extract to the folder you created. Follow the included instructions to format the SD card.

Wait a second..... Do you have your device CID unlocked? In other words, did you unlock your device using one of the methods in the stickies? I am NOt talking about SPL .... Were you able to flash a cooked ROM on your device?

yeah i've tried adding/deleting pics, vids, music, etc... with phone and pc and neither works, up until a couple weeks ago i was moving pics/vids to and from the card with the ppc and the pc with no problems. i have used several different card adapters in case one was bad but no matter what i have done, nothing has worked. i already even tried the file you sent and couldn't get the sdformatter to work either. i haven't installed any aps to the card only save pics and all on there, keep my fav program cabs on there as well.

Sounds to me your 8GB SDHC Card failed if it worked before and isn't anymore. Can you play the music on the card from either your PC or Kaiser?
going crazy
so i've been following asfoor's advice. I ran kaiserunlocker, but none of the steps made any progress. I tried using it to flash spl3.29, but my spl still shows 3.56. I tried flashing the patched radio, but its still the same (1.65.21.18). I downloaded v2.0, so I know I have the most recent version of kaiserunlocker. help! im getting more and more frustrated.
I have windows7 on my pc, and when i try to install Rom it just says img not found... Same if i just copy it onto the sd(via usb transfer if it matters)

If you could give more information about the complete process that you have done, it would be easier for someone to help you.
For example, what is the name of the ROM?
How are you decompressing it?
Are you trying to flash via WMDC or SD Card?
I am also running Windows 7 on my computer and have no trouble at all.
I think it may be something to do with the process you are doing.
Let us know what it is. I'm sure we'll be able to help in some way.
For example, what is the name of the ROM?
How are you decompressing it?
Are you trying to flash via WMDC or SD Card?
It is http_://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751 this one and i already have installed max sense on the phone, and what to change it tolower ram usage and etc... Tried titantium and sense 2.1 no success. I tried via the usb connection. but cannot locate a device, after it is being rebooted. And then i tried to transfer the divimg.nbh to the sd card and reboot, no success - no image found.
one thing is clear: if you try to install the rom from sd card, your Rom name ("divimg....") is wrong. It should be something like "raphimg.nbh".
How do you establish connection between PC and your TP? There are reported some difficulties connecting your TP with the PC via Windows 7 using device center. Using the search may help...
good luck
Please post [Q] in general section.

I see, that should be the problem, thank you. Yes i am using the device center.
Divimg.nbh? Where'd you come up with that, lol?
It needs to be named RAPHIMG.nbh. Make sure the extension is correct, and you don't have RAPHIMG.nbh.nbh, or something like that. And the card has to be formatted to FAT32, and the image must be on the root of the card. That's all there is to it. You also need to have hard spl.
It worked just with the normal file.
same problem
Hi there...
I try to flash the new rom on my TP, and:
1) HardSPL is done, I flash one time a month ..
2) via SD card is written: Image not found - card has been formatted to FAT32, name of the image IS RAPHIMG.nbh.
3) via USB installation goes to the installation screen where "Image not found" is written also ... Active sync has been made, I've checked, that "USB support" is OK.
I have placed ROM and the *.exe file into one folder ..
Can anyone help me?
EDIT: Win XP Prof. 32BIT, Touch Pro and the ROM is ENERGY 23699 Sencity/Touch of Glass - tried both of them.
Alright so Ive been searching for posts on this and trying to figure this out for hours and Im almost fed up. Ive tried multiple different ways of downloading and extracting the froyo/super oneclick and have multiple different problems. The latest problem Ive had is I can get the root, and nandroid folders into my sd card while the usb connection, then when i switch to porta and tools the files wont be in my sd card anymore. Other problems Ive ran into are my computer wont be able to read the open recovery and therefor wont put it into my sd card... Ive tried unzipping the file into my sd card, on the the desktop, ect. Ive also tried just downloading the .zip file strait to the desktop an dragging and dropping into my sd card, and nothing works...
Can someone PLEASE tell me where im going wrong? And maybe send me in the right direction?

You need to have usb debugging checked in settings/development I think. Then while plugged in switch to portal and tools and run superoneclick from your pc not from your sdcard to root. You won't see the root of your sdcard while in portal and tools

Be sure not to forget about the USB debugging. It is something so simple, but easy to forget.
For your root problem, download Universal Androot apk and put it on your SD card. Use some file mgr and install. Click root and woot you're done and rooted.
For open recovery issue, you need to make sure phone is USB debugged and in mass storage mode. Unzip OR and put contents on SD card ( you'll need a folder called openrecovery and another named nandroid-zip contents go in openrecovery folder and when you make a back up, they will populate into the nandroid folder), but also put openrecovery.zip on card.
+1 on Rev's bids. Very helpful to familiarize yourself with proper partitions and basic Linux.
Yeah rev I was using your video watching it over and over lmao and I would make one dumb little simple mistake here or there... but I finally got it. And thanks to the other answer as well guys.
Now, is there a way to make my status bar black or is that out of the question?

You can use Metamorph or Zip Themer (both in market for free) to change you status bar or other things. Make a nandroid first and if you find that you really don't like what you have done, just restore the System part of the nandroid and you are back to the original you had.
Metamorph will work if you want to change 1 or 2 or 3 things but will require a reboot after all three. With Zip Themer you can create a whole package and apply it that way. I can't get it to work right but that is my own issue and not something wrong with the program. 3rdstring has a nice theme going over on the Themes and Apps forum if you want to take a look.
Hit those thanks buttons if anything helps you out and good luck.
Okay, now the internal SD Card is giving me all kinds of headaches.
I flashed all my ROM stuff fine, it installed, runs great, but now I can't copy or write anything to the internal SD Card.
I try to take a picture, force close. Copy files with Astro, errors. Even PC to phone errors out on me. I can't even copy over another ROM zip to reflash to try it out.
Anything like this happen to any of you guys?

Try going back to stock. Sounds like a bad flash. Or it was writtin in that it is only readable, not writing. So try the stock, should work. Pick your choice, recomend heimdale one click, its the easiest.
Plus once you reload save what files you have then format your sd card i do that every now and then...
Well, GTG's method is getting something to almost flash. It seems stuck at "factory.rfs" now. How long does it usually take to upload the filesystem?
Okay, I tried all my USB ports and found one that worked. Weird.

i have 8s... and i juts plug the phone into usb and it shows at desktop. BUT if you copy music from ubuntu to sd card you can not play it on the phone, it doesnt recognise it. after that, you must boot windows, copy music to windows, and back to the phone. then it works... pretty stupid.
NO any tool to discover the file system, like File Explorer ??!!
