Hello guys ..I know it's my first thread and it's kind of mean to ask for a favor from the first time.
but here's what happened .
I have an official windows Mobile 6.1 downloaded from the official htc website on my kaiser (tilt)
but the HTC screen plug in didn't have weather working on it.
so I decided to download some other HTC home plug-in from one of the website
it's called freewarepocketpc.net
after the download I installed it on the storage card memory
installation required restart.
after the restart the problem started
it cannot open windows,
it gets to the today screen then it gets stuck before openning HTC home screen
after it gets stuck it reboots by itself to go back to the same problem
I tried to take the Micro SD card out before i reboot.
but nothing happened .
it will get stuck and reboot.
I took the sim card out but the same thing happened
I wanna format this kaiser but I cannot establish a connection between the computer and the phone ..
so please tell me what to do.
I took the battery out of the phone in home that it goes to factory setting and take the home plug in out ..I'm hoping
but please I need the phone so bad
I have everything on it.

if it wont let you do anything hold down both soft keys and push the stylus and hold them all in/down until the hard reset/clear storage screen comes on, press send to start reset then send to reboot when prompted to

if non of the above work put the phone in bootloader manually (see the wiki) and flash a different rom

yup...
as sd73ta said...
as long as you can put the phone in bootloader mode, your ok
just put it in bootloader mode (keep the camera hard button pressed and insert the stylus for soft reset)
you then see the tri-colored screen known as the bootloader...
then, insert your USB cable and ignore the fact that activesync is not working...
flash the rom you want to flash...and it will work hopefully
there! i just saved you some wiki time reading cause your in a panicked mood but after this please read read read...

thank you so much guys for the fast response..
I can't wait to go home and try it out!!!!
you will save my life this way.
because i use the phone as a modem to get my online classes done.
so now i don't have to go to the library if it worked!

IT WORKEDDDD!!!!!
but i had to download a new ROM..
I used the camera botten with the softrest!!
but you know what I'm in a mood for some customized ROM
what's your favorite one guys?

Just test all custom rom if u really in mood to use one.
flashing one rom is less than 5mins using SD. Then u will find one which will best suit ur need
p/s : and maybe u could modify ur thread topic since ur prob has been solved

I would use this ROM, they seem very stable and work well on my Tilt. Good luck.

Best advice I can give you is search and read. Read the wiki. This is an obvious suggestion but it will help in more ways than one. You get the answer to your question but you also learn the correct terminology which HELPS YOU TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS Since you are new at flashing, i would suggest you keep an open mind, experiment, but research to see if your chosen methodology is good before you turn your device into a brick.
Prerequisites:
1. update your bootloader to something brick proof.
2. make sure you pick a radio which is compatible with the rom you have chosen.
What to look for?
1. Usually the chefs are nice enough to place a date on their threads when they announce a new build. Keep your eyes open for that and also updates within the threads as the builds, bugfixes, and download locations are updated sometimes multiple times a day on hot threads.
2. start with a bloated full build which is full of aps and tweaks and decide what you like/dislike about it. You may find that you rarely use some of the stuff and want to run a bit leaner.
3. Find a completely stripped down lite build and build it up piece by piece with cabs(cabinet file installers). You've now seen both sides of the spectrum while also gaining some flashing experience.
What to do next?
Now that you have decided which utils and apps you need, tweak the settings and dial them in. You'll learn much by playing with settings and watching the behavior of the device change.
And Finally:
Find a build which is as close to what you settled on yourself. Chances are the chefs have put something together which will surpass your expectations and can be modified the way you like it with just a few cabs/tweaks after install.
Good Luck.

Have you read the WIKI?
This is specifically requested that you not start a thread that asks about ROMs. It could get you banned.
Recommend that you start reading before you get yourself into more trouble than you want.

If I want to revert back to "official" G1 firmware, what about the HardSPL?

I plan on rooting my phone in the next couple of days, but I was wondering if the HardSPL that you install during the "How To Root your G1" tutorial will cause any issues if I want to go back to the "official" g1 firmware from Tmobile. From reading about SPL, the stock SPL is from HTC but the HardSPL thats on the tutorial is modified. Would I replace the modified SPL if I want to go back to the official firmware?

If you look real hard, you can find a sticky about this!
But I'll be nice and sweet tonight, so here it is!

Did you post in the wrong thread? That link is about rc33 OTA update. My question is about getting back to official firmware after rooting the phone and whether the HardSPL can stay or revert back to the original.

to go back to original everything just use the original spl in an update.zip and then use the DREAIMG.nbh from when you rooted your phone and you will have stock stuff like it just came out of the box

So if I want to go back I would first install the rc29 then the original SPL, then upgrade to rc33?
Whats the purpose of using the HardSPL vs the original SPL?

no, do the original SPL THEN the .nbh you need to have root to flash an update.zip that is not signed with the proper keys, as for the benefits of hard SPL over the original go here and read

Thanks. Some of the FAQs are not very clear. I'm not sure what you mean by EVERYTHING I've said on the board...
btw, are you hoping I brick my phone? So far I've read 4 different tutorials on how to root your phone. Each one has something different than the other. I'm just trying to get the facts straight before rooting my phone.

look for the thread "app that roots your phone" tell him in a PM that you want to beta test it, when i ran it or him on the last version he needed to fix the telnet script and he is pretty sure he got that working. i would give the link but since it is not my app it is not my place to give out the link.
i do not hope you brick your phone, but i see it as an inevitable thing, i know what i'm doing, i'm no guru but certainly not a n00b and i have managed to "brick" my phone just bout every day because i am always trying new things. the main thing to remember is that as long as when you turn your phone in you get the SPL or recovery then you do not have a true brick. i wish you the best in all your hacking but be forewarned that everything you try has the potential to render the phone unusable for a few hours till you figure out how to fix it. ALWAYS keep the DREAIMG.nbh on your sdcard and an update.zip that contains one of the many JF builds and you will never be too far from fixing your phone.

I understand. Hopefully I wont brick the phone but the nice thing about GSM phones is that I can jut pop my SIM card into my old phone if any issues come up with the G1. I just see people being mean to noobs when at some point in time they were noobs also.
The main reason I want to root the phone is to move the cache to my SD card. The onboard memory on the G1 is a joke. I knew the limitations when I bought the phone in October, but I thought for sure they would have come out with a update that lets you run apps from your SD card. Being a early adopter is fun

if you have less than a class 6 sdcard then moving the cache will have loads of lag, took 3 seconds to delete an email on my class 4. but if you just wanna move apps then you'll be fine

Interesting. I may have to buy a microSDHC card since the microSD card that came with the phone has no rating on it. After reading about SDHC, it seems only SDHC has the 2,4,6 rating.

use the RC29 NBH, it flashes everything including bootloader, then use the official signed RC33 update (40mb) and you will be back to stock rc33

Fastboot Help (Rid me of my headach)

Ok, lets start from the beginning. I have a gt that had non-rooted rc33, i downgraded to rc29, rooted it, upgraded to rc30, and now to jf's rc33 1.41, obviously still rooted. Once I got to rc33 1.41 i finished re-installing all the programs i had lost along the way (going to rc29). Then I changed my boot images (splash1 and 2) using fastboot. Everything was fine untill i went to change my boot images again and powered on using camera+power and the grey screen pops up first since i left it on my sd card (dont remember what the grey screen is i just remember not to interupt it but im sure if youve rooted youll remember what im talking about), well instead of clicking the trackball i accidently hit the power button, wiping my phone once again. I went back to rc29 and rooted it (wasnt sure if i had to so i just did it (i had the time)) then back to the rc33 1.41 by jf. got all my programs back the way it was before. i noticed when it booted into rc29 the first time and everytime after that my splash1 screen was back to stock but my splash2 screen was the one i had put there. so i powered off after i got all my programs installed and went to change my first splash screen, and now once i exit out of the grey screen (yeah i know, still on the sd card) it goes to the RGB screen (the normal screen), not the skateboarding androids, and definately not fast boot.
My question: Without going back through the ENTIRE process all over again, how do i get my fastboot back? I may of missed it on the forums, but I promise, it wasnt for a lack of searching, LOTS of searching (and not just this forum). Plenty of forums tell me how to use fastboot, just now what to do to get it back...
Thanks in advance for your help..
(oh and if it makes a difference I recently installed a theme more details can be provided if needed)

Since i take it that you are already rooted.. then i think it should be easy.. just download the bootloader devs edition again and place it in your sd card and then go safety mode and update it again.. but i think the reason why its going to the gray screen when you press camera + power is becuase you may still have the dreaimg.nbh file in there.. i would delete that first.. then put the modified bootloader and then update it and see if that works... Those are my thoughts hope it help.. good luck

yes i know that its the dreaimg.nbh i just forgot what the name was, and yes i should definately delete it since its what got me in this situation to begin with lol
now i found the bootloader i need (i got bored and decided to root my girlfriends g1 while waiting for an answer and found out that i forgot to use the bootloader like i had before) and have it on the sdcard, named as update.zip, waiting to be installed, but before i do it, am i going to lose all of my programs again? i have 127 programs, many of them (like locale and such have settings edited) that i do not feel is worth having to go through a 3rd time
so not my only question is, when i hit alt+s am i going to wipe my phone again?
Oh and thank you for such a quick responce n8izzle, and another thing, why safemode?

No it won't wipe your programs if u install the boot loader. And by safe mode he meant recovery mode (i am sure). If u want to be on the safe side go to recovery mode first and then do a NAND backup by pressing Alt+B which will back up all your partitions if something should go wrong again. Then update bootloader.
So Alt+B first then Alt+S and then u should have fastboot again and also backup images of ur phone on ur SD card

hey sorry had to restart my computer i just got ubuntu .. but yea thats what i mean not safe mode but the other lol... but hope that you got it working if not you can pm me and i will walk you through it...

Yeah I didn't put 2 and 2 together than bootloaders wher part of the rc updates lol, it makes perfect sense to me now, how's ubuntu?
Oh and can anyone elaborate on exactly what's backed up with the backup tool in the recovery menu and how to restore it
(New to linux incase anyone was wondering, I've always wanted to get into it but every class I've taken for my certs for web development has been for windows os, so hang in there I'm a quick learner lol)

ubuntu is pretty cool i like it.. im not too familiar with it but i initially got it so i can partition my sd card... so i'm learning on this as well... if you are talking about backing up your phone with nandroid it works great... you can view the directions and all below... if you want i can help you step by step if you run into problems.. just pm me if you do...

THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO BREAK FORUM RULES.
This thread has now been reported, and hopefully, it will be closed before someone goes against their better judgment and helps you.
If you want an answer, have patience and check back in the Q&A. Or, post in the relevant ROM thread. Or, search. Or, don't perform procedures on your buddy's phone if you don't know what you're doing. But DO NOT post in here when you KNOW it's a violation of the rules.

these guys are crawling out all over the place today....feel bad to be a mod today..lol...
you need to slow down friend and reread everything you need to and start from step 1.

If I were a mod, I would've taken the day off. It sounds bricked to me if you can't even get into fastboot. You should've done the one click root.

Ok anyone. Mods are getting really angry with all these post. Ur probaly gonna get banned for posting in this section. Anyway u probaly didn't follow directions. You flashed the spl before u did the radio and got bricked I guess. If u can't get into the bootloader by pressing camera + power or recovery home + power. You are brick. See you in 3 days after ur banned. You should have search first

Rogers RUU for EVO 3D that doesn't boot

ROGERS RUU RECOVERY METHOD FOR ROGERS EVO 3D PHONES​
Hello, I am new to XDA and I don't know much about rooting, but unlike most noobs, I am not here to ask for help.
A few days ago I was trying out rooting and was pretty pleased with what I could do, so I went ahead and tried to flash my stock rom to VIPER rom. This did not work as planned, as I tried to flash my phone with a CDMA rom, and not a GSM rom. My phone is a GSM phone. This obviously left my phone hanging at the HTC screen, and I thought I wrecked my beautiful 500$ phone. After 5 hours of frantic research, at 3 o'clock in the morning, I discovered something called an RUU. Unfortunately, most of them were for US phone providers, and me being from Canada, I had a rogers phone. After trying a few(and failing), finally, I found an RUU that could work, but it was an executable, and would not connect to my phone. As I had access to REVOLUTIONARY, I could still access my files on my sd card, and wondered if I could extract the PG86IMG.zip and put it on my sd card to do a factory reset and reinstall everything. Luckily, it actually worked and my phone was brought from the dead and ran as if I just bought it.
So in the next few posts I will explain how to do it for the few who are in the same situation as me with a ROGERS EVO 3D. This most likely will not work for any other phone. It might work for another supplier's GSM EVO 3D, but I have not tested it and I don't recommend it unless you have nothing else to try or you really want rogers bloatware.

Procedure
PROCEDURE
This procedure SHOULD work if you have a ROGERS EVO 3D phone, as I imagine they are all the same. However if it doesn't, you must realize that you are doing this at your own risk and I am not responsible if your phone gets damaged in any way.
NOTE: This will set the phone back to its original state when you first bought it.
If your phone was SIM Unlocked, it will not remove the Unlock.
1. Make sure your phone is charged. I don't know what could happen if you run out of juice when flashing back to stock ROM but I don't want to and I have a feeling that neither do you. Just leave it plugged in to the wall for two hours just to be safe.
2. Before you do anything, make sure that you can get into the HBOOT. This is fairly easy, just take out the battery, put it back in and then hold both the power button and the volume down button until the HBOOT shows up. If it does show up, great, shut off your phone and move on to the next step. If it doesnt show up, keep trying. After 3 tries if it doesnt work, there are three reasons for this.
A) Your phone isn't charged. Plug it into the wall for two hours.​B) Your HBOOT is screwed up and you cant reach it. I can't help you with that. Look somewhere else or take it in to your warranty/provider.​C) You are having hardware problems. Faulty battery, phone charger not working, power button not working, volume button not working, all things you might want to check if you can. Look somewhere else or take it in to your warranty/provider.​
3. Access your/a microSD. You might have noticed when you went inside your HBOOT that it was searching for a file. That file is actually the file that we need that will allow us to reset the phone to provider default. There are two different ways to access this.
A) Take out the card and connect it to the computer using a adapter. This is probably the easiest way and is almost guaranteed to work.​
B) Since you have rooted your phone (and are in this unfortunate position) you might be familiar with a tool called REVOLUTIONARY (Previously called ClockWorkMod). Note this is only available if you have REVOLUTIONARY installed. You can access it in the HBOOT by scrolling down using the volume buttons to RECOVERY, hitting the power button to select, in REVOLUTIONARY going to mounts and storage and then select mount USB storage. Connect the usb adapter in both your phone and in your computer. It will show up in My Computer as if it is a flash drive. I used this method.​
4. Download this file: http : //www . filefactory . com/file/49tsgwxc6bd3/n/FACTORY_RECOVERY_File_For_ROGERS_EVO_3d_zip (Remove the spaces. I am not allowed to post links till 8 posts in total so I must do this.)
Mirror:
5. Put the attached file onto the hard drive. Extract the "FACTORY_RECOVERY_File_For_ROGERS_EVO_3d.zip" and place the "PG86IMG.zip" on the root of the microSD. Plop the card back in the phone, turn off the phone once again and re-enter into HBOOT. The phone will find the PG86IMG.zip file and then ask if you would like to update. Scroll to yes, press the power button to select it, and watch. This process should take up to 3 - 6 minutes.
6. Once everything is said and done, it might reboot, but if it doesn't you can reboot it yourself. Start up your phone, and watch in amazement when your ROGERS screen appears and the phone comes back to life.

RE-ROOTING
This guide is pretty much a slightly modified version of zedomax's guide on youtube, and should work for any CDMA phone (but I can't confirm it) and certain GSM phones, including Rogers.
Re-rooting is a bit more sketchy as rooting for the first time (at least it was for me).
This guide is only for windows computers (Since the mass population of people only use windows, and if you have a mac, you probably have an iPhone. If you have Linux, you probably know how to make a unicorn pop out of the phone, so you don't need a guide.)
Before you do anything, you need to check the HBOOT version. This is absolutely crucial. Some HBOOT's are not supported, so if you try with the wrong HBOOT, you might totally destroy your phone. For good this time.
To be continued...

I realise that there may not be many people in the same position as me for a while, so feel free whenever to send me a message if you need help. I will most likely keep the files for a few years on my external hard drive.

No unfortunately, but then I didn't attempt to fix it either. I just stayed with the stock OS because I didnt feel like I needed to update it that badly.
