hey Guyz. I have a Tilt that a customer gave me that got bricked while trying to flash one of dutty's roms...Problem is that the genius didn't load up Hard SPL even tho he told me that he did...now He wants me to fix it...even tho he didn't follow my instructions and read the WiKi...I kno that on the Hermes it was able to be unbricked. Is the same for the Kaiser possible? I would greatly appreciate your help as my customers are loving the work you guyz do here in nyc..
Thanks in Advance!
Cristian
What is the current status of the phone?
Can you get into the bootloader at all?
If you can get to the bootloader you should be able to load the AT&T AKU v0.4.4 ROM (the unoffical upgraded AT&T ROM). Once you get that loaded you should flash HardSPL immediately.
Let me know how it goes...
Cheers.
I bricked my tilt when it was less than 24 hours old... I recovered it with a BETA of the ATT rom and THEN redoing the hardspl thingy - worked a treat.
Do a search for tolt bricked and you should find afew threads for it.
The rom is called something like RUU_Kaiser_ATT_WWE....._Internal.exe
It goes to the Tri-Color Screen but stays there..I'll go ahead and research it so I can find the original AT&T and load it up...It shows a lot..workin for at&t and being a member on xda...U guyz have no idea how ya make life easier for my tilt customers b/c at&t truly dropped the ball on the rom...and by offering alternatives..u make the user experience so much better...thanks!

If you are at the bootloader screen (Tri-Color) then the phone is not bricked. In the sticky at the top on how to revert back for warranty replacement, it has links for the various roms. Just flash an official AT&T rom on it and you should be good to go. Then do the HardSPL.
Cool that you work for AT&T and hang out here! If you have any other warranty returns, I can give you my address as I wouldn't mind having a backup or two...
BTW: The AT&T ROM for the Tilt is actually quite good in the big picture of things. At least the phone is usable (slower than it should be and less memory than it should have, but its still very usable and stable on the official rom). If you want to ***** about official roms, go back to the 8125 and its official rom. The while the device (at the time) was great, that rom made the phone almost worthless (super slow, battery problems, bad radio, dropped calls, freezing, etc). I can't tell you how many people that run custom roms on the Wizard just can't believe what that phone is actually capable of.
Ok, sorry, got off topic there...
does Hard-SPL needs to be flashed just once on a device or does it need to be installed every tome a new ROM is going to be Flashed onto it?

For some reason, it's not being recognized by my Activesync. I got it to recognize it but now it sayz Error 294: Invalid Vendor ID...I'm using the RUU_Cingular_WWE Rom for the Kaiser...so I'm flabbergasted at this point...

ActiveSync will not recognize your device when in BootLoader mode!
The Vendor ID error means the ROM cannot be loaded on the Tilt without HardSPL. You need an original Tilt ROM. (That's what I think about this)

Oddly enough the "Original" Tilt ROM will not install on a Tilt that does not already have HardSPL on it (to spell it out for you, the CID of the ROM does not match the Tilt's stock SPL). If you check the "reverting back" sticky you'll find all this info already, though it is deep in the thread.
The AKU v.0.4.4 ATT Beta ROM does have the correct CID and will flash on a stock Tilt. SO that is what you are forced to resort to at this point. Once you get the beta ROM installed you can (and probably should) install HardSPL.
After all that, if you decide you want to return or warranty the phone follow the "revert" thread to restore it to "stock" form.
Some additional notes on your problem...
ActiveSync will not connect in Bootloader mode (this is expected). You should see a device show up in Device Manager however, I can't recall the exact description however.
quick flash procedure:
put phone in bootloader
connect usb cable
install ROM
FYI, the problem may not be a bricked tilt... you could try Pof's fix which involves using MTTY.exe to boot the phone, depending on how your "customer" tried to flash it it may just need a kick in the pants to restore it. (search Pof's SSPL for the Kaiser thread for instructions, the thread was closed so you will have to look deep).
<climbing on my soapbox>
Lastly... your use of the word "customer" concerns me... are you charging people for the work you do to their phones? If so, do you donate to the people who make it possible? I'm probably just misunderstanding you, but if you're profiting from others work, perhaps you should contribute (especially if you're coming here to ask for help).
</climbing down>
Good Luck!
Cheers.
Customers as in I work for an AT&T corporate owned Retail location and they have bought Tilts from me. They kno my Tilt has been modded and they usually want to do the same. I don't charge them for doing mods to their Tilts. This still remains a community where we help each other and I cherish that. Greed has no place here.
as far as ur suggestions...It looks like I'm gonna be drunk @ 4am on XDA tonite...lol...

That's cool... my misunderstanding then. Hopefully no hard feelings .
All in all it sounds like the guy wants a custom ROM so you should probably get the ATT Beta ROM and install that. And then install HardSPL.
Check Kyphur's second post in the thread below for the ROM you want.

how can i re-install the window? at tilt 8925

i want to reset it so the error message shud gone like Recover ?
@kaal,
It seems what you want to do is a HARD RESET. Please visit Kaiser Wiki and read through. You'll know your phone better that way.
@HTCFan & Sirsycho, Glad you both sort it out in the community spirit Cheers!

Because of you folks and this thread, I have a working device as opposed to a paperweight...Thanks!!!
noob question, sorry but this is my first ever flash and im confidant i can do it
basically i want to unlock my phone to work with other sim cards im on orange uk stock rom but i want to use other sim cards, even if its just to check ones i find around my house
i picked up instructions from here
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
in this it tells me i need to flash the phone with the radio again once i finished but ive checked threads and theres only htc roms and atnt roms and cooked ones
ihave rom version 1.81.61.2 wwe adn radio 1.27.14.32
What rom do you want? you can use a cooked rom just fine with your phone.... Or you could used the generic HTC rom.
Did you register for the HTC club? if your phone is HTC branded you can usually download roms right from there.
double posting you should be ashamed of yourself
Yeah, you really should be flammed... Cause I commented on the other post too...

This is because the 'unlocking' process is specific to a particular ROM i.e. install a ROM that can be unlocked, then replace the 'unlock-ROM' with the original ROM or one of your own.
Not all ROMs are available, so searching for a copy of your original ROM to re-install is beneficial if you wish to keep the original on your phone (warranty etc blah blah blah).
PS. There is nothing wrong with the 'unlock-ROM' if you wish to keep it on the phone.
i should ashamed but im not, since this post has slight differences to the one in geberal and besides i needed a fast answer and theres more people here

just follow the instructions to unlock the phone ( by flashing the patched radio) then once it is unlocked flash a different ROM. ( Dutty's or the new Throttle ROM, best one so far. Looks COOL!!! and runs great too.......lol ) Once you step away from the HTC ROMS the Kaiser is in a world of its own. So much better with a cooked ROM compared to a branded one. No contest....
yeah but i cant find my radio anywhere its 1.27.14.32 and now spl wont flash

just flash a newer radio after you unlock. Should work OK...... a lot of the cooked ROM's have preffered radios anyway.
The way I did it:- First flash HardSPL, then unlock phone using instructions, after complete decide which cooked ROM to flash and its corresponding preferred radio. The result: works like a charm, no problems....
see that the thing ive done my device just the wae i want but the sim unlocker needs my origional radio and i cant get it
and now my hard spl wont work after the dos bit does its business in loads up kaisercustom ruu or summit and this nees an activsync connection but the stepss on the first part of the hardspl thingy render the phone in bottloader and the activsync icon grey
I was trying to follow the many different ways to unlock, Hard SPL, and flash a new ROM but this is just way over my head. I think I may have screwed up my phone. I've been reading for 4 hours and I'm just throughly confused (this was so much easier on th Artemis!). I downloaded the jumpSPL1.56-KAS, ran it from the phone (not the storage card). Then I ran Kaiser-HardSPL-3.56 and that seemed to work fine. Then I tried to run step 1 of the KaiserUnlocker and now it will only show me the AT&T boot screen and nothing else after that. What did I do wrong?
I'm trying to unlock the phone so I can use it on T-Mobile USA and flash a new ROM. I've flashed ROMS before but I just never realized how involved this process was on other devices.
And yes, I can get to the boot loader screen.

Ick...this sounds like one of a couple of things...either you really screwed it up (btw, even "really screwed up" has been known to be fixable thanks to the super awesome folks here on XDA Devs) or it's a simple fix. My first suggestion would be to put it back into bootloader (just hold the usualy bootloader buttons and stick the stylus up in the Reset hole OR take the batter out and put it back in, your choice I think) and try rerunning everything EXCEPT the KasierUnlocker (btw, dont quote me but I would almost swear KaiserUnlocker needed a special radio flashed in order to properly work...you may wanna head back to that thread and check it out. I unlocked mine with it and I can about guarantee I had a special radio...) and see if it fixes anything OR find a compatible radio and reflash it (well, first off...get it into bootloader and tell us what the bootloader says on it)
Anyways, first things first would be to see what the bootloader is showing and then work from there. Sounds like a little bug so don't freak out too bad. If you think flashing these babies are hard then you really didnt try flashing G4 versions of the Wizard =P I totally bricked one because it was the pesky G4s and I didn't realize it at the time (complete newbness lol) So yeah, Kaiser's are a LOVELY change for me =] I've flashed mine countless times and loved it since the moment I got it! =D
But yeah, gimme info! =]
Did you use WM6.1 or WM6.0 to unlock the phone? Put in boot loader and flash orginal WM6.0 ROM as the other user suggested. You should be able to flash it if it is not a brick.
If it doesn't work you can use mtty to recover your phone, the needed information you'll find in the Kaiser Wiki.
Hope it helps
I just had this exact problem.
Use the EXE included in the tutorial to flash any windows 6.1 ROM from the bootloader via USB, and you will boot again.

I know. The crazy thing is that I've successfully flashed a G3 and a G4 Wizard and I still find this confusing.
When I go to the boot loader screen I have:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.Hard
CPLD-8
When I reset the device normally I get:
R 1.27.12.11
G 22.45.88.07H
D 1.62.00.00
I didn't try to flash any other ROMS to unlock it. I just went with the hard SPL and then tried the Unlock tool. The phone is stock.
Thanx for the replys. I reflashed the original ROM and now it's working again. This is what I have now:
When I go to the boot loader screen I have:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.Hard

Now when I reset the device normally I get:

Can I go strait to a SIM unlocker and then flash a new ROM?
Well you've got HardSPL 3.56 flashed to it.
Why do you need to sim unlock it? Sim unlocking is not neccesary to flash one of the many Roms avaliable for the Kaiser/Tilt.
Once it's got HardSPL flashed, you're free to flash any type of rom onto it

A couple of things:
1) The Kaiser-Unlocker only works on 1.xx hardspl's, so you'll have to put one of those on first.
2) You do need to install the patched radio before you run it.
3) You'll need to flash a compatible radio afterward too, or else your device might not boot all the way.
4) Next time please post these questions in the thread for the unlocker you are using. It makes it much simpler for everyone.

But HardSPL 3.56 doesn't SIM unlock the phone from what I understand. I need to use it with T-Mobile SIM. So I need to chenge to a 1.XX Hard SPL to do this?
So I guess I went wrong with flashing 3.56 first and not 1.1
Then I need to patch the radio
Run the unlocker
rinstall the radio
Then flash the ROM
Problem I have now is that I can't seem to go back down to a lower SPL version.

I have to send in my titan this week to radioshacks warranty service to get a replacement. I have one of dcd's gps enabled roms on my phone right now. Can someone help me find a link for a post on how to relock my phone and put the official sprint rom back on my phone? I am using olipro's bootloader think its 2.4. Also, if I relock my phone and flash the sprint rom back on it will it get rid of my custom flash screens from ppc kitchen? Every time I flash a new rom on my phone the custom flash screen is the same and won't go away. Thanks!

Here's how you do it.. I've done it many times before on sprint phones.
1) "Re-Unlock" your device with a SPL that is overwritable. Read the thread here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30560
2) Immediately flash with the titan 6.1 ROM from sprint. This can be had from: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=75&cat=2&dl_id=73
3) Enjoy a completely stock device! To answer your questions, yes, this will put the device completely back to "Sprint WM 6.1 Stock". All of your boot screens, bootloader, radio, and OS will be exactly as it came from sprint (assuming you got a Titan after the switch to 6.1).

Oohh.. one more thing.. You want to go back to "Sprint Official WM 6.1".. This technically is not "stock". Stock was WM 6.0 with a non-GPS radio. You risk bricking your device if you try to go from a GPS-enabled radio to a non-GPS-enabled radio.
It's not a big deal at all to send your device back with the "Sprint Official WM 6.1" ROM on it as this is a supported ROM from Sprint. Just wanted to make sure you understood the difference between "true stock" and "a supported Sprint ROM"

Hi, do u mean taking the logo off the front of the device or flashing a faster rom? for rom make sure u flash Hard spl(check the noob guide) and for the logo if its not actually in the glass on the front then u would open your phone cover up and scrape the logo off(not recomended). once u have hard spl u can change the logo that shows when u turn it on and the gay att animation.
That's pretty much what this entire forum is all about. You need to check out the ROM section of the Raphael sub-section and read the sticky's there. I would HIGHLY recommend installing the Energy ROM series. If you are going from the AT&T ROM to that you will be floored with the increase in speed and just overall sexyness.

Just the software/firmware. I could care less what the phone actually looks like as long as it works correctly.
Anybody have any recommendations on what ROM to flash? It's actually going to my girlfriend once I get this ATT branding off of it, so the easier to use the better. I was thinking about just loading the unbranded touch pro's ROM if I can find it, unless the cooked ROMs would be ok for someone who probably won't want to reflash ROMs often.
If you need stability, flash a WM6.1 ROM, the WM6.5 ROMs are still beta and a little buggy.

To brick your phone implies that is is dead and cannot be brought back.
There are very few instances where a device cannot be bought back.
If you read the Noob flashing guide, make sure you have Hard SPL installed and follow the directions to the letter, you won't brick your phone.
One thing to remember, as you start flashing ROMs, you will want to flash back to stock ROM in between flashing customs ROMs as the RUU wrappers do not completely overwrite the previous ROMs but flashing back to stock does.

One thing to remember, as you start flashing ROMs, you will want to flash back to stock ROM in between flashing customs ROMs as the RUU wrappers do not completely overwrite the previous ROMs but flashing back to stock does.

I'm not really planning on reflashing a lot honestly, since it's not my personal phone. If that was the case, then I'd probably play a bit more with it.
It does look pretty straight forward but I always tend to worry a bit when I do something new. I don't really expect anything bad to happen though.
Just a warning, its very addicting....
It looks like it is. I wish my e63 had the same hacks that these have for them. I see a lot of room for improvment on it...
I wouldn't say all the 6.5 ROMs are buggy. Get the latest EnergyROM which is 6.5. The buggy ones are 6.5.1 which are changing the UI.
First.off all lets stop the discussion about which is the best ROM! LOOK FIRST into debloating a stock ROM. Arupenthal and myself have good threads about it. SECOND look into hardSPL and understand what it does. THIRD I agree that a good start would be a 6.1 based ROM again arupp and NRG (2.0) ROMs may be the best start. Careful flashing a stock HTC TouchPro ROM. It may work w/o hardSPL but the keyboard layout differs and requires at least one more cab (fuzekeyboard) and even ATT connection setup.. Be patient read a lot and understand what you are doing and what'ss going on!! It'll take some time but Rome wasn't built in a day either
