It seems I'm just another one of the masses who rushed in to flashing their ROM/Radio/etc and now my Tilt is stuck at the bootloader. I've run through the "recover" process and every time I re-power the phone back on, I'm stuck in the red/green/blue/white screen with KAIS1*0, SPL-3.56.0000, CPLD-8 in the red section.
I would greatly appreciate any help in getting my phone back into working order.
You can get me on AIM at ygafip or msn at [email protected].
Thanks in advance.
Sorry - posted in ROM development. Can you move to the appropriate forum?
And you can disregard this ... I was able to successfully flash back to a stock ROM that I downloaded from HTC's website - I then followed the noob guide step-by-step and it seems to be working. I guess what I did wrong was I didn't install the HardSPL thing ... that seems to be the only thing I did differently. I have successfully installed the HardSPL, successfully unlocked my SIM thing, I'm currently installing the new ROM and then should be able to successfully install the new radio ... I guess that's the 4 steps I need to do.
Glad it's sorted.

I am a little confused. I have been trying to get WM6 on my T-mobile Wizard and actually got TNT 1.1 loaded and was working fine. I found that I could no longer view my contacts. The page would appear and then as quickly as it appeared it disappeared.
So I figured, I at least got it this far. I will just reload this rom and see if perhaps something did load right. Well after the reload. The phone boots up to the splash screen with IPL\SPL numbers and just sits. NOTHING.
I left it there for like 2 hours and still nothing. But I can still get into the BootLoader.
My questions to you gurus is:
Is the phone fubared?
Can I do some kind of master reset?
Why would it tell me "Invalid Vendor ID" when trying to flash the orginal T-mobile rom?
Are there any tools that can help me out? Paid\free?
Please help!!! Seriously! Please HELP!!!
Very much appreciated.
Thanks

if your device is G3, unlocking is required to flash any rom, before upgrade your device, it is recommended to flash an official WM5.0 rom (in your case T-Mobile rom) with IPL and SPL 2.xx then flash again.
in general there are many probabilities for your issue.
((Where is TNT1.1?? did you mean 1.0?? ))
My Bad meant 1.0
So to get it straight.... I will need to unlock my phone each time?
Oh and to correct myself again, when flashing with the T-mobile ROM it says UPGRADE ONLY. And the read me file says its the wrong RUU. But it is the same file from Tmobile I used when I first got the phone. But I will try again.
Are there any other suggestions?
You need to read the "how to flash" sticky.
I did. I am not any expert or anything but I believe the phone is unlocked already since I once had WM6 on my phone. The real issue I am having is that it wont boot past the splash screen after flashing.
And that is true when re following the steps in guide. After flashing to the button rom it will not boot past the splash screen.
Try another ROM.
Sounds like you need the "Wizard Love" rom. I dont have the link handy but I am sure someone else does.

Already got it. Thanks I am trying to load it now. But the only thing is that the last time it failed and I can understand what the error says. I know the number is 300 but can read the language.
But I will let you guys know when this load completes.
Thanks again for all the assistance.
No worky worky. The load completed and then boots the splash screen shows and then stays there.
Any ideas?
Try to remove the battery and let it out for at least half an hour. Then put it back in and see what it does then.
I thought the same thing too. So when it got done last night, out of frustration, I removed the battery and left it there to wait on when I get off work today. I will report back on what happens.
Again I would like to thank you guys for helping me. I really do appreciate it!
STEP 1 install the original manufacturer ROM
T-mobile UK
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
T-mobile US
http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
Search for the original rom for any other
instructions on how to use the original rom can be found here
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm23294.htm?&A2L.SERVICE=AboutUpgrading
Put it in the bootloader mode.. ( three color screens )
hope this helps..
cheers

Ok I did that and it gave me ERROR 296: UPGRADE ONLY
Then it tells me that the NBF file cannot be used for my PDA Phone. Please get newer NBF file.
Is there any way I can get the Tmobile splash and IPL\SPL number back to original, it doesnt need to boot all the way into WCE but atleast show the same numbers and splash during boot up?
Or any other way to get this thing to work?
Thanks guys
BTW it is a HTC Wizard from T-mobile.
If you are getting an error 300 you need a newer rom update utility, and regardless if your phone is a G3 or G4 it needs to be unlocked before you flash any rom.. LOAD a OFFICIAL cingular ROM onto your device before going any further, then unlock your phone either via www.imei-check.com or through some of the tools offered here...
Which one should I down load from Cingular? Even though I have a Tmobile phone?
what ipl and spl are you using and what radio are you using. Just post all the numbers from the bootloader
As soon as I get home, I will post them.
Thanks
Ipl 1.01
Spl 3.08
Thanks

uh oh. someone tell me if I'm wrong, but I think this is bad. it's the result of flashing a g4 with g3 or the other way around... keep searching, and good luck.
flash the original t-mobile rom. your phone doesn't appear to be unlocked. good luck
I have an unusual problem with my oem att tilt running SPL-1.56.0000 (according to the bootloader screen).
The ROM is somehow corrupted in that it will not boot past the giant ATT logo and coordinates (?) screen. I have been having some trouble with the device, but this is a new occurrence not related to anything I did. I have never reflashed the ROM, and because it is in a current hosed state I cannot run hardspl on the device.
I have tried reloading many of the "ATT OEM" ROMs I can find, but they all return "Invalid ID" error the ROM uploader I believe because the versions don't match.
Is there any way to reflash the ROM and bootloader on the device without having first run hardspl? Am I SOL?
Thanks
RK
Did you try going to tri-color first then flashing a stock tilt rom?
Dude, I have the same problem...
I bought the tilt 2 weeks when I was in a business travel in the US and came back to Argentina... I'm kind of screwed about the warranty 'cause I don't think I'll go again so soon to the US...
Is there anybody who can help us with this?
The very diference is that (At the ATT start up Logo screen) the bottom line says D 1.57.00.00 instead of D 1.56.00.00.
Tried everything... soft reset, hard reset... and so on...
The thing is that at some point I think I can get to the phone in some way since if I turn on the phone keeping pressed the camera button and enter in the rom loader screen I can get comm to the phone using mtty (As pof explained to do for "Un-brick" the phone (In the case you got a bad flashing) in this thread...
So, please If anybody have any idea it would be great!
I still have a little hope, because it's like there is some kind of communication between the phone and the computer...
Thanks in advance to any help.
A.
both of you...
Check my sticky thread for reverting back to the stock tilt ROM and SPL...
all you really need from there is the Stock ATT ROM... download it!
Put your phone in Bootloader (shouldn't be too difficult by the sounds of it)
Install the stock ATT ROM.
If this doesn't work try extracting the downloaded ROM (using WinRAR or similar) then just run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Then you might want to consider installing HardSPL... the default download should work for the 1.56 guy. The 1.57 guy will need to download jwocky2001's whitescreen fix (check the stickies).
Good Luck!
I am at the tricolor screen and I have tried the instructions on your thread (thanks very much for making it so easy). However, it says invalid vendor ID after loading 1%; the device automatically reboots and reverts back to the ATT screen until I place it back into the tricolor bootloader again. I thought this was because the version I'm running is 1.56 and I could only find two original OEM ATT ROMs, neither was 1.56 and both failed.
BTW I couldn't do the part about hardspl and running the kaiser program on the device for obvious reasons, but I could get the kaiserruu program to recognize the device, another ROM and attempt to upload it.
Any other thoughts? Do I really need the exact same ATT OEM ROM as what is on the device or is something else wrong?
Thanks again

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
CPLD-8
Now when I reset the device normally I get:
ROM version 1.62.502.0
Radio version 1.27.14.09
Protocal version is 22.45.88.07H
Device info:
Windows Mobil 6
CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
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.

Hello I am a new member. Well a new regestered member I have used this forum for months now. I have a HTC HD2 and I am putting android on it. I am stuck on the rom flashing.
I have tried going through Windows Mobile Device and it is stuck at 0%.
So I seached and found out that there is a different way to do things with Vista (which I am using) So I went through those procedures and it still is stuck at 0%.
My last thing I did was call T-Mobile and got my unlock code and unlocked my phone and tried everything again. I am still stuck at 0%. Can someone help me please. Thank you!!
EDIT----my radio version is 2.10.50.26
sounds like you haven't hardspl unlocked your device. You cannot flash custom roms until you do it. see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
You are awesome thank you so much it worked fine!!!!
Hi guys,
*Information contained in screenshots*
Posted a topic about a non-rooted G1 with only access to fastboot and hboot.
I was told that I would have to flash a signed ROM to solve my problem but unfortunately, after proceeding through the full ROGERS G1 downgrade guide by Haykuro, the problem still persists.
The only thing that could have gone wrong during the rooting process is the installation of the wrong recovery through flashrec (it only allowed for remote install for a 32a install).
Here is a screenshot of the phone in hboot for you to get all the info (spl, radio etc.) and a pic of the phone's screen past the splashscreen.
Anybody know how screwed I am?

you're not screwed at all if you can fastboot. esp. on an unrooted g1.
do me a favor, on the screen with the exclamation point, open your keyboard and push ALT+L.
That'll get u a menu, do a data wipe.
Thank you! That solved it but now everytime the phone is turned off and is turned back on. I get to that famous screenshot of death.
Any clue?
Thank you for your reply! Much appreciated.
