Someone please help me i cannot boot past the smart mobility screen on my att tilt!!!!! I think its bricked. All that comes up is the R G D values in red. Then it just stays there. I dont have a clue what to do!!! Someone help me please!
Tell us a bit more!
Have you tried to Hard Reset? Or did you attempt to HardSPL, or to flash another ROM? We need more info to be able to help you.
Thanks for the reply...what happened is I noticed TomTom wouldnt start up like it normally does...I think the link was broken so I decided to soft reset and I noticed it was hanging at the smart mobility screen and couldnt boot past it. So after getting really nervous for about 10 mins I luckily turned the phone off and found out how to enter the boot loader mode and refashed the HTC ship rom back on my tilt and have restored everything..I keep back ups of all my cabs on my transflash card. I dont know what caused it though. It's my first brick I guess. Hopefully my last.
Just for completeness I will go through my full process:
1. Installed HardSPL
2. Installed Dutty's WM6.1 Official UC 5.2.19199 RTM
3. Discovered that there wa no sound so set about finding a solution
4. Downloaded NIKI_Radinly_1.58.16.27_CustomRUU
5. Installed HardSPL again as would not connect
6. Installed NIKI_Radinly_1.58.16.27_CustomRUU
Problem is that it reached 100% on the install then said it had lost the connection (made USB disconnect noise and everything). The NIKI radio installer only had an exit option and cannot reconnect. The phone is on 100% and won't go any further.
I am very worried about what to do next as clearly I could be in a bad flash situation. Any advice on what to do and what I may have done wrong would be very appreciated ASAP.
Oh I have backed up my phone first so hopefully no data will be lost (just potentially the phone itself )
if you already hard spl correctly then you dont have to do it again.....now you need to put your phone in tricolor mode (press power button and camera button at the same time and while holding then down soft reset with your styles...then you would be in tri color mode) then connect to PC and reflash rom and radio!
PS. please read the wikis on duttys (after flashing tutorial) as you would need to hard reset after! flashing rom for the first time!

you can try Sd Card flashing method...that would be easier
Thanks, I had to take the battery out to get it to restart. Luckily it seems to have got the Radio ROM in there as it rebooted working fully. Didn't know you could go back to the tricolour mode so easily after installing hard spl. Will see if it runs OK for a day or two b4 I get the bottle up to try again
I did have a good read before both installs. As a newbie though the sheer number of combinations and options make it quite hard to follow what you should be doing in each situation. I think that is why so many people are asking the same questions on lack of sound, etc.

Thanks for the advice, will try that next time
Nevermind I see you got it working again. If it should reset back to SPL, let me know & we'll diagnose it for you.

Hello to all, I am a noob here and have tried to adhere to all of the demands to do research and not post ?'s, but I am at a wall.
I have a Tilt and I ran the sim unlock and I was using the Sleuth 3.0 on it. Everything was working fine. I added the Iunlock cab and it worked fine as well. I then tried to install the icontacts, but i would have to go to program files and icontacts file in order to use I contacts. Well, wanna be innovative me thinks to try and move that file so it would replace something. I copied it to the windows appbuttons folder and deleted the regular contacts and nothing happened, then I put it in the start up folder and no luck, then I simply copied it to the windows folder not at the bottom where all of the extra files are. After that I tried to reset it and now all that I get is the bootloader screen. it reads as follows:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.Olipof
CPLD-8
At the bottom, it shows either USB or Serial depending on if the usb is plugges up.
I tried running the sim unlock again and the dutty rom and both load to 100% but it goes back to the same screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help and thank you so much.

You could hard reset if you altered something in WM to cause it not to boot...hopefully
I tried the hard reset and same thing I flashes for a very split second loading and then goes back to the screen.
Hard reset is both item buttons above IE and Mail with soft reset correct?

Yeah and then you press send...
- well you could try go into the bootloader and flash an OEM original ROM on i do not believe that doing this would brick your kaiser.

In case u dont know how to do it:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets
Or else search for MTTY. That helped a lot of ppl who got stuck in boot loader.

U need to hold the stylus in the hole longer, untl a message pops up on the page.
If it does not hardreset or help u, do what zeezee told u - flash a new rom.
OK, thank you all for you diligent assistance. I have tried the hard reset and it does the same thing...goes to black for about 2 seconds, then for a very split second goes to a grey screen and flashes loading then back to the bootloader.
I will try a search for the people stuck in bootloader and try flashing a OEM ROM, I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

Here is a list of OEM ROMs:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
I do not see any Mods here around or somebody yelling (search button is your friend,search the wiki everything is there, bla bla)To having a woman at home change everything.. Thanks..!
Before you try the dangerous MTTY method, you could try refresh a oem rom w/ the SD method
ok, I am flashing an OEM rom now, but what does it mean to do it with the sd method?

From youre sd card (memorycard), look it up in wiki. Moust of us flashaholics keeps oure rom on oure memorycard and just rename the rom/bootsplash/radio or whateva and place it in root then activate bootloader -> flash. This is an alternative for not using usb cable, pc and active sync
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
ok thanks, but am i correct in understanding that to do that I have to use the phone to access the mem card?
My issue is that the only screen I get is bootloader, no nothing else. I can't even turn it off. I can take the battery out to get a black screen, but any action to try something will take it back to the bootloader screen. But for some reason, it still allows me to flash the ROM, I think. I flash it on my pc and then my phone goes to the grey screen where it shows the % of progress. It reaches 100% and the pc tells me to click finished and I do then it goes back to the bootloader.

yes, just use a card adapter or something to acess youre card (if you cant connect via active sync) then copy the rom over and follow the steps in wiki. Beeing stuck in the bootloader some times aint the worse place to be stuck

I don't mean to argue with you here and you are right about research threads, but honestly it's easy to get caught up in frustration with the amount of information. Some authors are good at documentation and some skip steps along the way or extra links are in the threads.
I just switched over to Gullum's Diamond Rom and was I nervous upgrading "Yes" and did I read much that I could "Yes". Were the instructions to HardSPL, Jump were a little unclear "Yes" so people asking questions are legit to a degree but we shouldn't also be eagar to pounce on...

I agree with some of your remarks. Yes myself and others have jumped down people's throats yelling, "Search." One thing you have to remember though this is a developers forum, not a novice forum to help people making there phone look "cool."
Going into flashing / upgrading / modifying, you have to have a little bit of knowledge or time using Windows Mobile / Windows in General devices and machines.
Usually reading some background information can be a world a difference before jumping into this sort of thing.
I found the problem to stuck in bootloader. Thanks to all who have posted threads.

There are many capable people in the Kaiser forum that will help. If you have hit a wall, be patient & I will begin to answer my PM's in the order they were recieved within the next week. Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment, but family comes first as I'm sure you understand.
Thanks,

Aboslutely man. You go take care of your family. I will pray for God to guide you all through this trying time.
On the Kaiser note, I found after further studying of some threads, a solution to my issue where I was stuck in bootloader. I think this will apply to anyone that is stuck in bootloader with the usb/serial showing at the bottom and when they try to flash a new rom is goes to 100%, but the are still stuck on the boot screen.
After reading more threads, it appeared that there was some sort of disconnect between the usb and the phone. Since my PC was stating that it was successfully completing the flash, that shows that it was not getting any type of error from the phone. After reading a thread I simply blew in my tilt usb port and used my stylus to try to straighten it out as one of your post state to ensure the usb connection is straightor it may give mtty an issue.
Once I messed with my USB port, the phone came back to life and everything was fine. Everything was rebooted and all my info was lost however. I was even able to successfully flash a new ROM.
In closing, if anyone is stuck in bootloader mode and their flash goes to 100% and doesn't fix their issue, tell them to clean and straighten their usb connection.

Hi,
I bought a HTC Touch Pro today from ebay, all working fine and everything. So I go to flash to the latest energyrom, using this guide:
http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/...c-diamond-or-htc-touch-pro-with-a-custom-rom/
It starts, then has an error saying it was unable to flash and i should check my devidce etc. I look at my phone and it has a whit background and it just says 'Loading ...'. I had to take out the battery to get it back on again.
Everything is fine, my phone works, but I don't think I can flash anymore.
I then read this guide:
http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/...c-diamond-or-htc-touch-pro-with-a-custom-rom/
When i got to this step:
Enter bootloader mode on your phone:
While the device is booting up or with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the volume down and power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
Everything was fine the tricolour appeared and the text, then suddenly it went back to 'Loading ...'
I really want to flash my phone, and i'm worried I won't be able to know. Ive tried hard reset, but it didn't do anything. Is there anything else I can do?
I've left the loading screen for 20 minutes, i don't think it's doing anything...
If anyone could help me that would be amazing.
Cheers
EDIT:
I just tried flashing with the default firmware, as guided here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
The phone fades to black, and doesn't show anything at all, and then i get ERROR [260] CONNECTION, and tells me to check if it's plugged in etc.
Very strange, i'm really worried I won't be able to fix this..
I had this issue
I had this issue with a Fuze that I had about a week ago.
It comes with a newer version of bootloader.
All you have to do is remove the Sim card and SD Card before you flash. That made the black fading go away and flashing succeeded.
Start by installing Hard SPL first. Once that is in they you can start flashing the rom.
How about reading and posting in the noob flashing thread? Do you know what hard spl, gsm, and cdma are? If not, you're either wasting your time and/or your phone.
Well I am clearly an idiot, thankyou both for you posts, phone is now successfully flashed!
I tried to upgrade my brothers samsung galaxy gio with a leaked version of it's 2.3.4 upgrade via "Odin".It kinda got stuck in the process and following the guide for it I removed the battery (it said to remove the battery if it stuck at a process for more than 10 minutes). After that when I tried to power it up it got stuck with an image of a phone and a pc connected with dots and a caution mark in between. For extra info recovery mode doesn't open but the download mode does. And I have tried to upgrade it a few times but gets stuck at the process named "ididb download"or something like that.
Is the phone bricked?????? Plz reply quick.
Hi,
Don't worry: as long as you can turn the phone on you should be OK, it's only a soft brick . Have you tried going in download mode again, and reflashed another ROM or even the one you attempted? Got evering right? OPS? Evering you must tick? Re-read the whole tutorial cause generally people mess up because they don't pay enough attention ^^
P.S. At least a million threads exist for this, you obviously haven't looked far before posting..
