Flashing Radio ROM

I want to flash my current radio rom (1.27.12.11) to 1.27.12.17. but if i open the EXE of the file i get the flash window. and if i click update. it shows me that my current image is version 1.56.404.6 and if i want to update it to 1.00.000.0 ... so whats up? is that normal?
and is this safe to do?
i have an unbranded HTC TyTN 2

Hi
That's normal. The version number relates to the whole ROM, but as you are only flashing the radio that question and version comparison is meaningless.
Just flash and you will see the radio rom version change to the new one and everything else remains the same.

its stuck at 0%... my AS connection dissapeared.. what now?
i managed to reboot it correctly, but my AS disconnects at the colour screen... why is that?

On this topic, I want to flash this new radio also, but I don't trust Vista, my Sync connection is always doing crazy things, its my vista that toast.
So can I Flash a Radio just using the SDcard method?
And how?
Thanks
Oh, btw, HI all, my First post, and 1 month with my Kaiser!
And a noob question, whats the difference from a TouchFlo rom to a non-Touchflo?...

Hi
i managed to reboot it correctly, but my AS disconnects at the colour screen... why is that

ActiveSync will disconnect at the coloured screen as it isn't ActiveSync in use at that point.
You also likely need HardSPL installed, if you haven't already please see the top threads in this forum for info as to how it all works.
Regards
Phil

Well im trying to install HardSPL. but when it comes to the tricoulour screen i have to unplug and plugin back my USB. AS disconnects as it should. and RUU starts. now it says make connection trough AS.... how? i cant get it to connect anymore and i need to reset my device in order to be connected again..
*edit* nevermind it worked. just ignore and go to update and click update

I had the exact same problem with Windows Vista. Tri-colour screen and Hardspl wouldn't continue.
Everything worked until the Unplug-replug part, and thats where is all stopped.
Had to soft reset device to get it back.
Still haven't figured it out.
Question to Seniors, if my Kaiser is "Free" or "Open", do I need hardSPL?
Or is HardSPL for getting around unsigned roms?
EDIT:
Ok did some reading, and understand HardSPL a bit better now...
One problem was the USB with thought a HUB, and not directly connected. Second problem was Vista not finding some driver, needed a reboot, Strang, ... anyway.
ITs on!!!
I think I got it Flashed on my Kaiser, but how do I KNOW, is there a way to check?
Edit: Figured this out too, My TriColour is now different, the USB was up top, its not lower and it says something about SPL by pof..
Hope you have more luck Imperium, I now have Radio .17 on my Kaiser.

ERROR [260] Connection installing WM 6.1??? what to do?

Hi
Tried installing the HTC 6.1 Rom RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.03.405.0_radio_sign_25.70.40.02_1.64.06.04
on my TyTn II from Vista and XP but i still get the same Connection Error.
Can somebody help with this
Thanks

Need More Info
We need more info to properly troubleshoot...
Make of phone (TyTn II, Tilt, Vario III, etc)
If you are trying to use this rom on anything other than an unbranded HTC TyTn II, then it will not work unless you have used HardSPL to remove carrier branding first.
Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282 for more info.

260 errors are usually related to USB port access. If you are using McCafee or Firewall software, you will have problems unless you disable or gifve full access.
Again, to quote NotATreo, more info will help, but consider temporarily disabling firewall or virus software.

Thanks guys
Its the HTC TyTn II and the rom im trying to flash is the 1 released by HTC so i assume its the other problem, yes iam running mcafee firewall, ill disable that and try flashing.
thanks a lot

I was able to flash while running the mcafee, but I still can't connect to the internet after flashing the Hard SPL and the radio

Have you try using SD card to flash?
just renamr file "RUU_signed.nbh" to "KAISIMG.nbh" and place the file in your Micro SD card.
Power on the phone and enter bootloader mode by press "power botton" + "camera botton" and using stylus to reset the device. It will auto start reflashing the ROM. It only takes 1min to 2min.

Tried the mcafee thing but then it gave me the Vendor ID Error
Basically there is no way around except for flashing the Hard SPL and removing the vendor thingy.
Not sure if i want to do that cause that will void the warrenty.
Tanks so much guys

Well, technically you are but they don't know it untill you make it noticable and there are ways to make it back to OEM.

Just flash while you are in bootloader screen (tri-color)

Tried putting in bootloader mode and flashing but the same Vendor ID Error, dont have a choice but to Flash the Bootloader. Dont want to do that cause had a Problem with my previous Imate phone, the service center guys checked that 1st.
thanks

well... When I purchase a new phone, I never think about returning it unless DOA. When I flash my Tilt and iPhone, there is no turning point. Oh well, I change a new phone almost every year......Currently wait on my new N96

Things that will help others help you:
1. where are you located?
2. who is your provider
3. what ROM WERE you on?
4. ok - you had a phone that was working - and you did:
a. what did you do first?
b. second?
c. etc.
Your message KINDA indicates that you flashed a ROM and had issues - so you THEN flash HARDSPL? was that successful?

OK - I do not think that you got the HARDSPL installed on your phone correctly - BECAUSE - I believe that it would say OLIPOF or JOCKY on it and it does not.
I have not seen the new HARDSPL 328 and 329 but it LOOKS like to me that you did not successfully get the HARDSPL on your phone.
Personally - I would scan the message boards for GSLEON3 (user name) and send him a private message - there are many others that can help you and he or others MAY come trolling by and take pity on you - but at the moment he is the one that helps people in your situation the most from what I have seen.
I would NOT continue to work on it myself as you can definitely mess your phone up permanently. Does your phone still go into boot loader mode? If so - can you flash the required HARDSPL onto your phone?
Find a message that GSLEON3 has left and then lik on his name and send him a private message - he is very nice - BUT - he is VERY busy - continue to be nice and he will most likely get you back and running.

first of all thank u for the help
but, wich one i need? 28 or 29?
and how do i do this spl if i cant copy them to my device.

Danny -
Deep cleansing breaths here ok?
1. personally - I would PUT BACK what ever you had on your phone and get it running again - trying at this point to get ot to go to a different ROM is not a good idea right at this minute.
2. 28 and 29 from what I read makes no difference - users try each one to see which one works better on THEIR flashed ROM.
3. What I would do is look for the HARDSPL that goes with what you had loaded to begin with - or the actual SPL that came with your original ROM and put that one back.
I would be stuck here because I have to use JUMPSPL on my phone because I get the white screen - but I THINK that (don't quote me because I do not do it this way) if you don't get the white screen you can just flash the HARDSPL to your phone without JUMPSPL (having to be able to copy something to your phone.
HOWEVER - if you cannot or do not know how to continue from reading the WIKI - you MUST request help from a professional - I have already recommended one. (GSLEON3)

my active sink is not seeing the devais, maby MTTY? wil help

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Based on your current track record, I wouldn't suggest you use MTTY as you have a VERY HIGH probability of bricking your phone (ie: it won't ever be usable again).

so im fu--.

Can you get the phone into the bootloader mode? Turn the phone off (pull the battery if you have to) then press and hold the camera button while you turn the phone on. You should get to a tri-color screen (this is the boot loader). Now plug in the USB cord and see if it switches from saying Serial to USB. If so, you can try flashing AN OFFICIAL ROM THAT WAS MEANT FOR YOUR PHONE (ie: Don't try to put an offical AT&T rom on an Orange). When you run the RUU program it will tell you that you need to have ActiveSync working, but don't worry about that. If your phone in bootloader shows USB, you can continue on.
BUT AGAIN... You need the Official rom that was meant for your device. Since you are not HardSPL'd you have to do it this way.
If you don't understand any of that, or have questions, don't just try it hoping you get it right...
As stated previously, it would be well worth you time to get someone like GSLEON to assist if you can.

Not to be mean but if you have red Wiki and looked at threads here and they "don't make sense to you". You really have no business flashing a rom. If you don't understand what you are doing sooner or later you will brick your phone from your lack of knowledge and it will be no ones fault but your own.
I am really surprised people were willing to repeat what has been typed out hundreds and hundreds of times on these forums.

Ozone Verizon (Cedar): SSPL, HardSPL and original SPL by JockyW

Attached you find all you need to flash cooked ROMs on your Ozone (Cedar).
The sspl/hardspl are confirmed to work fine on the HTC Cedar platform (Ozone).
It will not work on the HTC Maple platform (Dash3G). Running this sspl on a Dash3G will definitely brick it. Also the HTC Willow platform (SNAP S511, Sprint) is not supported. For the Dash3G I have already developed a sspl/hardspl. Users of the S511 have to wait until I feel motivated ..
The packages contains a SSPL, HardSPL, patched ROM updater and the original Ozone SPL. The package is based on SPL v0.39
Instructions:
1. remove SD and SIM cards (don't forget otherwise the sspl is likely not to work!!)
2. connect your device to your pc with a USB cable and wait until it is synced
3. extract the file "Ozone HardSPL by JockyW.zip" and execute "auto.bat"
4. follow all instructions given on screen: first the sspl is copied to the device and executed. You must confirm running JumpSPL on the device: first time you must click Yes to allow it to run, you also must click the trackball to continue execution of JumpSPL. The device display will turn dark and after that the romupdate tool will install the hardspl on your device. (the identification string in the tri-color bootloader screen is "0.39.Hard")
5. to test the sspl and the hardspl you can flash the attached splash.nbh
Once the HardSPL is installed on your device you can flash any Ozone cooked or original ROM.
Have fun,
JockyW
PS: Moderators please make this a sticky. Thanks.

Awesome work JockyW.

Awesome, thanks for your hard work.
Now all we need are some 6.5 roms!

4. follow all instructions given on screen: first the sspl is copied to the device and executed.

Um... so most of this worked fine, and the screen is dark, and a generic htc driver got auto installed... and the Rom Utility popped up on my screen... But how do I get it to connect to activesync like this?

After my phone rebooted completely (following the ROM utility completing), I just re-enabled Allow USB connections and it seems to work fine.

No, so the rom update tool doesnt complete because ActiveSync doesnt work after the screen turns black...
Edit: and Im using XP (noticed ur not from the thumbnail...) idk if that matters or anything

I'm having some difficulties of my own. I'm running Windows 7 RC x64 with WMDC 6.1.6965.
I started by running the sspl.bat (with USB enabled in WMDC); the SPL app came up on my device's screen, I tapped ok, and the device screen went black w/ solid black pixels. The only way of rebooting it is yanking the battery. The OS loads fine after that.
Later I thought it had run sucessfully so I ran auto.bat. The JumpSPL steps ran fine (with USB enabled still) but it failed at step 4 when the ROM tried to flash (obv. because USB was still enabled).
Strange thing is, when USB is disabled and I run auto.bat, the device is unable to connect in steps 1-3. I canceled all those steps and then the ROM flasher starts, makes a connection, and starts the flash but won't go past 0%. The screen is still black because after step 3 the SPL flashes (or attempts to.)
I later put the device in bootloader manually (with the colorful bars) and ran the ROM flasher by itself. It runs but again, gets stuck at 0% on both the device and the PC. After a while a 262: update error pops up. This must be because the SPL is still locked? The OS boots fine after a battery pull.
Strange. Any advice would be welcome.

forgot to remove my SIM card! Gonna try again, give me a few minutes

no, same problems. :sigh:

The bootloader is still locked in 0.39.0000, confirmed.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure all my problems are coming from x64 drivers. I'm going to try this again in Windows XP Mode. Congrads everyone who's succesfully flashed! Good work guys!

Instead of replying to yourself, please use the edit button next time.
Anyways, if you run auto.bat, disable USB Connections after the screen turns black via ActiveSync. In your device manager (with the screen still black) look at your USB Devices. You should see a entry called HTC USB Sync. If you see that continue to flash. Seeing HTC USB Sync is a key step in this whole process.
Please read the testing/development thread for some good solid help. A bunch of us ran into the same issue you did. If you read all 4 pages you should be able to troubleshoot your problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550628

Raleigh, NC. My next vacation isn't till the week of Christmas though, so maybe someone else can step up in the meantime. I'll also be out of the office again for a week in the spring.

first off, thanks so much to Jocky and Ookba for all the work you guys do! but i'm having some issues. i've dont a lot of searching on here and i can't find a solution hopefully someone can help me. i can't get the hardspl to run successfully.
my bootloader screen shows this:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B
i'm using windows 7 (through VMWare on my iMac), everything seems fine until the pop up on the phone, i click the button (the not really a trackball button) and the screen goes black, i lose all connectivity through WMDC and the Rom Utility gets error 266.
If i don't click when the pop up shows on the phone, the Rom Utility will show and then the phone will go into the bootloader with USB written in the white area then i get the error 266 again.
of course there's no sim because it's a Sprint s511, and the sd card is always removed.
what can i do? i'd really love to get 6.5 on there, but i'm at a loss.

The fact that your running on a MAC with VMWare makes me think the issue could be in the connection...
Im not even sure if Win7 works, i could be wrong however. You wouldnt happen to know of anyone that has a WinXP machine would you?

I did try in vmware with XP and Activesync, but it did the same things. I have a Dell that I was gonna make a hackintosh, but I'm gonna throw xp on it and try using that machine. I was thinking it was the vmware too, i guess i just wanted one of you guys (you know, the one's with a clue! LOL) to confirm.

I applied the HardSPL to my snap using Windows 7 and everything went well

Thats what it sounds like... Good to know it works on Win7 though SPIK3.

Thanks Black_V!per for responding and all. I did finally get it going! I set up the dell with XP and it actually didn't work at first. I had originally unRARed the package on the iMac and just copied the unarchived folder over to the XP machine, thinking it would save me a download, but it didn't work. So i just dl'd an RAR utility for windows and unpacked the RAR on the xp machine and it worked perfect. originally the Rom Updater said it couldn't find the nbh file. all's well! And i'm loving 6.5!!
Thanks again Jocky and Ookba!!!

Must have corrupted during the download... Havent seen that since my 56k-days.
Glad to hear that!

First off, I appreciate everyone's hard work throughout this whole process.
Unfortunately I am running into a problem. The auto.bat is able to copy the JumpSPL file and the .nb file to my phone just fine. However once the Rom Update Utility starts the flashing process, the phone shuts off.
I did a hard reset to my phone, and went through the process again. The JumpSPL notice popped up on the screen, but then crashed when I hit OK. I know it crashed because the Windows Error Reporting popped up (which apparently I had disabled before I did the hard reset, so I never was able to tell if it was still running).
So then I manually ran the JumpSPL file. This time the memory box popped up, so I hit OK with the Jump Address at the default 0x00000000. It then asked which SPL file I wanted to use. I chose the .nb that was copied over. Then the Windows Error Reporting screen showed up again.
I'm not sure what is going on, but hopefully the details I just provided will allow someone to figure something out. Thanks.
BTW: My phone is a Sprint HTC Snap S511, and my splash screen is the same as the one posted before:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B

Is your phone applications unlocked? When I did mine it gave me a bunch of errors because it wasn't applications unlocked. Also make sure you remove your memory stick.

How would I go about checking this?
I remember on my Samsung Ace, before the 6.1 update, I had to install an "application unlocker" that allowed unsigned programs to install. Is this the same thing with the Snap? Also this is the Sprint version, so I don't have a Sim card, or anyway to typically "unlock" this phone.
EDIT: Ah, now I know what you mean. I found the SDA Application Unlock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563761
The Rom Update Utility finished successfully! Now to move on to the next step... Thank you SPIK3

No problem, glad I can help.
