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

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.

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.
Is there a way to remove HARDSPL so that I can return my phone to ATT even though I cannot sync with a PC. When I plug the phone up to the computer all it will do is charge the battery. I cannot sync with the PC. Will ATT accept the phone with HARDSPL installed, anyone with actual experience?
check the kaiser wiki as it will have specifics on what you need to do the phone back in condition to send back to att. i dont think you can remove hardspl though?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
you can remove hardspl, but then i think if you cant connect it to the pc at all, then i think you cant do it. there are many accounts of ppl returning the tilts by just installing the original rom but nor removing hardspl, and not facing any problem. ymmv

so, there you have it. you can remove it, but i havent heard anyone having a problem with sending it back so long as you do flash the original rom back to it. also, if you cant sync. check the wiki for how to flash from the sd card (simple process). that should take care of it. good luck.
You got a black screen when trying to unlock your tilt ? This is one of the most popular problem related to unable to communicate via activesync. If this is the case, flash to 6.1 using sd card and unlock it.

the second link is useless because he cant even connect the phone to the pc. like i said, many have returned their phones with the original rom but did not remove hardspl. just search and u will see. ymmv
my bad then
flash the shipped at-t rom via SDcard and thats it take it back.... no problems period
thanks for the help....original rom is in it. I was just worried about hardspl.

Ok so I have a HTC Touch Pro and eveytime i try to Flash my rom using the HARDSPL, I get a communication error that says, The Update utility cannot connect to your phone. The phone is active sync'd and connected. So I can't figure out what is going on. I hard reset thinking that would help but it didn't. Some one please help me, I just want my phone to run correctly with a new rom and this is driving me absolutely insane.
does it happen when you try to hard spl? or when you try flashing a rom after a hard spl

Hi,
Seems you run in the Firewall-error... disable (or shutdown your firewall) and try again.
Dirk
Yeah its in HARDSPL but it wouldn't even let me do a stock rom (for ****s and giggles i tried this)...never thought about the firewall ill be home in an hour and will try it out...let you know how it goes thanks for the response
I was wishing that it was that... I disabled my antivirus and my windows firewall was already off...any more ideas? Just to give you guys some facts
1. Touch Pro
2. Trying to use HardSPL to unlock my phone
3. When i try to run it recognizes what rom version I have and tells me what im updating to.
4.I hit next and it goes to the progress bar on the screen.
5. Nothing happens on my phone
6. Then hardspl errors out
???
can anyone help?

Hi again
I'm not that familiar with HardSPL, but .. do you need to run it every time you flash , or is it only the first time needed ?
And another tought ran through my mind : are you connecting your device directly to your PC, or via a USB-hub ? Hubs tend to be a problem in such ocassions ...
Dirk
thanks again for an answer dirk...You need hardspl the first time only, from there on you can just flash roms...I am also not using a hub...
Two quick notes... 1. I tried to use the cord that came with it to power an external hard drive and it didnt work...then i switched it to my 6700 mini usb and the hard drive did work. So I'll try that cord with my phone.
2. im going to try to do it on one of my clients computers also tonight.
I post back with results....
Thanks again
Kind of sounds like you don't have Hardspl on it. What does it say when you go into bootloader? GSM or CDMA Touch Pro ?
Ok it comes up with tri color bars for a half second then says...
Loading...
No image file!
Than it goes back to the tri color screen and reads as follows...
Security Unlocked
Raph800
SPL-0.37.0000
MicroP-Hermann (LED) V0C85
MicroP-Hermann (KEY) V0685
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20
Hope this helps!
Also its a CDMA... Sprint Touch Pro
Anyone have something similar happen to them while flashing?
After doing a bunch of reading I understand that the HardSPL didn't work...but im not sure what im doing wrong. I think im messing up the steps somehow?

Hi again
I don't think you're messing up steps... it looks more like messing up systems. Are you sure the ROM you want to install suits your CDMA-phone ? There are some basic differences between GSM and CDMA...
Dirk
I'm totally new to flashing phones, but having trouble with my touchpro.
When I load it up, it gets to a screen with the HTC logo and will not load my today screen. It's sluggish, won't autosync, and frustrating the hell out of me to be quite honest lol. The messaging and phone still works. Haven't tried the internet yet but everything takes ages to load. Also my unlock code to get into EPST (000000) will not take. Weird.
Anyways, I've decided I've had enough (this happened before) and just want to flash a new ROM to the phone. I've read the flashing for noobs article and it told me to autosync it up and use Hard-SPL. But I can't autosync - how should I go about doing this?
I'm not worried about backing anything up. I can get all my numbers back there eventually...
I mentioned that this problem has occurred with my phone before...usually I waited a day or two and the Today screen just showed up...but it's been a few days and it's not coming back....I think I am using Hofos or Holos or something like that as my current ROM for Cricket service if that helps....
Put your phone into bootloader mode (soft reset while holding down the power and volume down hard keys). You'll come to a tri-color screen that should read "serial" at the bottom. Connect phone to your computer and wait till it "serial" changes to "USB". Now run the Update Utility to flash the hard-spl and repeat for a new rom after unlocking it.
you can also do an SD card flash. check out the sticky for details.
I've never flashed HardSPL to the phone (at least not that I am aware of - I got this phone from someone else)...Will the bootloader still come up at first? And can I flash the phone without having hardspl on it?

Put the phone in bootloader. On the tri-colored screen, you should see SPL - 1.90 OLIPRO. If not, then the phone isnt unlocked. The phone has to be unlocked in order to flash a custom rom. Check the ROM development thread for more information. I should add that you need to make sure you have a CDMA phone or GSM phone. They use different unlockers. The OLIPRO one I mentioned above is GSM. The CDMA reads SPL - 0.37 CMONEX.
Cricket is cdma, isn't it? You better do some reading before flashing, because the single most critical thing you will do is flash hard spl. If you flash the wrong one, there is no going back and your phone will be toast. Go to PPC Geeks or the cdma forum here, and make sure you stay well away from the 1.90 Olinex hard spl.

Thanks you're right it is CDMA. Thanks for the help tho guys I will head over to the CDMA forum
Hello everyone.
Yesterday I saw that there was a new update of my favourite rom EnergyRom. So today I downloaded it, installed it, everything went well. Until I restarted my Raphael ( raph300 btw). It kept stucking on the bootscreen.. even after I installed the rom again it still stucked at bootscreen. So I began trying to fix it with installing my hardSPL again, that didn't work either, still no further than my bootscreen.. after a while I decided to downgrade my spl to my stock-spl. that went well but still stuck on bootscreen. So I tried to install my stock-rom from my provider: (t-mobile netherlands). But then the Rom updater stuck at 0% and I received the well-known [262] error. Suddenly I saw that I stupidly accidentally installed the cdma version of EnergyRom instead of the one I needed: GSM. That explained why it wouldn't boot in the first place. Now I tried to install the olinex hardspl, but the updater stopped everytime with the 262 error. I connected my device to another computer with windows XP, but there I saw that the computer recognized it as a CDMA device.
I know it is a stupid mistake, but is there anybody who knows what I could try? I also tried to hard-reset it, but that wouldn't help either. Any help would SO be appreciated
try to search a tool called MTTY maybe it helps

Thanx, but how can I use this in combination with my problem?
As I remember 2 years ago,HardSPL is somehow depended on RadioROM. Maybe the ROM influenced the Radio with HardSPL,so try to reflash HardSPL again and Radio. Or it works absolutely not?

No, I can't update any ROM. So now i'm stuck with my stock SPL, therefore I wanted to Hard SPL my device, but that didn't work and since then I haven't been able to update any ROM.. would flashing on a different PC help maybe? now I am on a Win7 Pc but maybe it will work in WinXP..
It is also not a bad idea to try different PC with XP to flash. I remember apx.1 month ago I tried to update HTC Trinity with WM6.5 ROM and it keeps failed with some errormessage(nowadays I can't remember which,but the syndroms was similar). Then I considered it as "bricked",until I tried another PC and everything wents correctly and the phone is in its productivity again. Yes,tfirst PC was company notebook with lot of safety kind of software(firewall,this,that,etc...) and the second one was my private laptop at home,just equipeed with regular antivirus software,all updates disabled(instead of AV).
Btw,what about trying to flash official ROM,while you are with stockSPL? Maybe it helps you to startup again the device and then HardSPL again afterwards...

yeah, that's what I thought too. I tried that also, also tried other custom roms btw before going to the stock rom. But with the stock rom it also stuck at 0% on the update
so, today I tried to flash my rom with two different computers: one with win7 and one with winXP. didn't work either.. I read the MTTY thread and after I installed the custom driver I was able to connect trough MTTY. But what commands should I use to clear the ROM and is there any way that I can update my rom via MTTY?
search MTTY on the forums the first link has all you need to clear the rom and flash via MTTY
I think you may be screwed. You should've asked for help before you started messing with the spl. I don't understand why you thought reverting to the stock spl would be a good approach; it may well be the end of your device. What you should have done is just flashed a stock rom-that would probably have restored your device. Re-flashing hard spl is kind of pointless. The only thing that can over-write hard spl is the special 'stock spl' that olinex put together. It's not entirely stock, and I am not sure that it can be over-written by hard spl. The sole purpose of the 'return to stock spl' is so that you can flash a stock rom, then restore the spl so that you can return your device for warranty/service without being dinged for having unofficial firmware on the device. When you do this, you aren't anticipating getting the device back, so I'm not sure that hard spl can over-write it. I know there have been discussions on whether or not it can be over-written, but I'm not sure that there was ever a clear answer. Anyway, with the 'stock spl' on the device, you can't flash any cooked roms to the device. If you are very lucky, you may be able to flash a stock rom. So, my advice is to try a few stock roms.
I'm pretty sure you'll need hard spl to run mtty/task 29, so I wouldn't waste your time on that. I really doubt it works, and I'm not sure what it's going to buy you, anyway. You really need to be able to flash a rom to the device, and you can't flash a cooked rom with that spl. Maybe you can flash a stock rom, but maybe not. I'm not sure which carrier it will let you upgrade to, either.

yes I did, but the problem is that I can't access my Internal Storage, so I can't put any ROM's on that. Tonight I tried to flash a ROM via my SD card, but when I put my device in bootloader-mode it kept saying that it was 'loading...'
If the bootloader just says 'loading', then you probably need to either reformat the card to FAT32 or rename the image to RAPHIMG.nbh. Make sure you get the extension correct (not RAPHIMG.nbh.nbh).
But you're not going to flash anything with the stock spl, anyway. You need hard spl. I'm not sure you can even flash a stock rom off of the sd card-it probably needs to do it over usb.
I updated lot of smartphones already,but it was already few years ago. However I think,that SP's are flashed with MTTY. For that I needed ROM image in nbh file and with some commands you tell the PC,that it should flash it. Don't forget to disable USB connection in Activesync on XP in case MTTY will connect.

I already managed to connect my device with MTTY, the only thing I need to know is which commands I can use to flash the ROM through MTTY. It just sucks that I am not able to go to my Internal Storage, otherwise it would be much simpler I think.

Oke, thanx for your input. I tried to reset my ROM memory with mtty/task 29, but that didn't work, just like you predicted. So my next question is: 'Is there any app that can perform the task 29 without MTTY?'. I googled it, but I could only find the task 29 app for the HTC HD2.. And further, does anybody have a recovery ROM for my RAPH300? I tried the stock ROM on the XDA thread of HTC Raphael, but still got the 262 error
There's really no point in doing Task 29. The bad rom isn't what's killing you now, it's the SPL. It's going to block task 29, no matter what you try (that's one of it's jobs). You should just try to get hard spl back on the device, or try flashing every stock rom you can find. I tend to doubt that either will work, though. The only other option would be to look up the jump spl developed by PoF. I don't remember the name (search for threads started by him), but it was a universal soft spl that would temporarily CID unlock devices so you could flash custom roms. I've never used it before, and I don't know how it loads. You may not be able to load it onto your device with its current state, and it may not even be compatible with a Raphael (it's 3 or so years old), but it's probably worth at least checking out.
Edit: here's the jump spl link. I think you may have to activate it off the device.
