From what I've read you need to remove your sim card and your microsd card then try again

There is no simcard and microsd in the htc Kaiser.
on the HTC Kaiser is the original T-Mobile software, nothing else

Perhaps your problem is related to new SPL... take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349476
Cheers.

When your phone is booting up, look in the lower right corner. If you have a line that reads:
D 1.57.00.00
Then you most likely have the issue in the thread mentioned by jcespi2005. If you have:
D 1.56.00.00
Then its probably something else (as 1.56.00.00 should be able to do the HardSPL).

Why not flash the old SPL to the device then you can use Hard_SPL. I havent checked but arent there original ROM available(of course CID/carrier specific) from before 1.57.

The real problem is SSPL used to flash HardSPL is not working with this one, so you can't go back to previous SPL... don't know what shipped ROMs are out that allows flash over this SPL...but perhaps this can be a way to go...
Cheers.

The Rom of my Phone is d.1.56.00.00 !
I do a hardreset, but Hard SPL dont work!

well... for the Tilt you can't flash the "official" ROM back to the device because of an "Invalid Vendor ID", I'm not sure why this is but it just doesn't work. You can however flash the AKU0.4.4 ROM to an unmodified Tilt so the CID apparently is good on that ROM. However I've done this and it does not fix the "white screen" issue on the affected devices.

How to Rollback from WM 6.1 to 6.0

Hello, I have unlocked my Cheetah thanks to all of you and saw a link on the site for a "full" 6.1 version, which I did, and it seems to be missing some things to I really want to go back to my original ATT 2.25 (original WM 6.0). I try to do this via the desktop and SD updater but since the version is newer on my Treo it will not allow me to do so. Can anyone help this newbie with instructions on how to accomplish this?
On another note a friend turned me on to your site and this is really awesome and I thank you for all of your time and help with all you do here!

You should not have any problem doing it via the SD card method. I did it on my other Treo. I dont know where exactly the hic up is. You should check your process again.

Use the SD card method, thats what I used to go back to ATT 2.25 wm 6.0

1. have you tried using the KaiserCustomRUU to load the ROM? Worked like a champ for me. just need to be sure to rename the ROM "RUU_signed.nbh"
2. using the official updater you need to modify the payloads.xml
Code:
<carrier_codes>CNG,ATT</carrier_codes>
(of course you may need to modify to match your carrier)
Code:
<revision_range>
<low>1.13</low>
<high>3.00</high>
</revision_range>
3. SD as last resort IMO since it takes forever to get the ROM on the card (assuming its already formatted fat32)

Use MTTY and do a "Task 2a" then flash any ROM you want.

Reverting to official RUU with HardSPL

I have been searching all over for this but it's probaly right in front of my face. I read that you need to get rid of SPL.nbh from official ROMS before flashing back with HardSPL. The problem is, the official T-Mobile Wing ROM that I downloaded is an .exe file. How do I go about removing the SPL.nbh file since it doesn't display folder contents or anything, just runs the RUU?
Sorry for the double post, I realized I was in the wrong forum

I'm uploading a zip file which will have the entire thing already to go.
Just flash your device as you would with any other rom.
Hang tight the link will be available within 10 mins.

Thank you sir. Greatly appreciated

Remove HARD-SPL On The Wing
This is the same tool used to flash your device when it was not HARD-SPL.
I replaced the RUU_Signed file and SPL.nh file already.
It will bring your wing back to the stanard rom as when you first got it.

One more question. I'm looking to keep HardSPL but I have to revert to original to upgrade ROMS don't I? I want to upgrade to your OT 6.5 ROM

Okay,
I thought you wanted to go back to the original T-Mobile rom.
If your trying to HARD-SPL your device to install one of my roms or another cooks roms then thats another story.
Please read my FAQ or one of the stickies.

Ok, I think I got it now. So I don't need to revert to the original ROM to flash it since I have HardSPL? Thanks for the help

wen i did this i think i bricked my fone now its at the tmobile screen and it jus staying there

I tried the file that you uploaded here...And it went thru the whole process of flashing the ROM, but after it updated my wing just stays on the T-Mobiel screen and never boots past that.
It had that open touch software on it and I don't want open touch. I want plan old WM 6.0 on there.
I called T-Mobile and got an offical 6.0 update from them, but when I try that one it gets to 1% then says it has a disconneted and I get a connection error.

So does this work? The two people who did this had problems. I need the phone to be all stock so I can have t-mobile send a free replacement because the screen is going on this wing.
***EDIT:*** Oka so this is the same as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364543&page=2 the first time I tried it it froze at 15% on step 2 so I installed the RAPI CAB like it says. Step two completed, phone rebooted and had white screen then I got error 260 I think. I have the stock t-mobile rom on it and had it on before I did this but it still has the yang from when I did a hard spl. Is there another way to get it to stock or am I doing something wrong? Plug in phone, let it sync, run herald-uspl.exe hit enter and so forth.
***EDIT*** Ok so this time it completed but is now stuck at the T-Mobile screen and I am now unable to even flash because I can't get past it And that damn yang still shows up in bootloader. Well went into bootloader and flashed from there so phone works but the damn yang is still there. And on a side note: Has anyone ever had a problem with their screen going very dark after flashing a rom from here? Phone was fine then I flashed OTP v7.4 TouchFlo 2D Lite.nbh yesterday and at night screen started going dark, would light up when opened in keyboard mode, then switched and then both were very dark and hard to see. I then flashed to OTP v7.3.1 TouchFlo 2D Final.nbh and still dark. Then I flashed to stock rom and have been able to see the screen since.

This is stupid easy to do... im shocked there isnt a post going into detail.
5 steps to going back.

Did not work. Do I need to install the cab files again? I know I deleted a file out of the stock rom so it would not overwrite or verify or something but I put that file back, should I not have? This has been a few weeks and still can't get the yang off. Screen on my girls phone is almost dead, she can't even slide it any more so I need to fix the spl so I can send back to t-mobile....anyone ?

this is what i do to get back to the tmobile orginal. download the software from tmobile. I downloaded the newest update from tmobile site. REMOVE YOUR SD CARD. Connected my phone via usb. Launched the update. It has never failed me yet. It is just like updating your phone. tmobile has to take it, it is their update. They sent me a new phone noproblem, matter of fact i have to do it again, the back on the phone keeps getting loose on me. so they are sending me another phone again. hope this helps.

Alternatively you can use the combination of uspl and stock rom ruu to return your device to stock tmobile rom...
1. Enter in to uspl like you were falshing one of ttran001 roms... You can get this HERALD-USPL-beta3 from http://rapidshare.com/files/79249048/Flash_Center.rar
2. ONLY use steps 1 and 2 from the black screen (getting the white screen on your device)...
3. For step 3 in the flasher exit out of the black screen (windows cmd screen) by pressing ctrl+C...
4. Fire up the official ruu from tmobile found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358030 or alternatively if you have a tmobile account still active you can get the most up to date rom from http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
5. Fallow on screen instructions...
6. Back to stock rom...

Being stuck at the Tmobile screen isn't a true brick. Just reflash your ROM. (If you're not HardSPL'd, reflash your RUU.)

Remove Hard SPL from bootloader
Hi,
Anyone out there knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader of Wing. Problem is my mobile displays splash screen, then switch offs by itself. Its been quite some time that I have hardspled it and have been using it. But recently I am facing this issue, so I am trying to move to original RUU and try if it works.
So for that anyone knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader, because I am only able to enter bootloader. Moreover I tried several original roms from Flash Center as well as through SD card as well, but still be SPL version is 4.70.yang. Anyone knows any other alternative.
Also, if anyone has faced similar problem then kindly advice how you resolved.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Pankaj

OMG...did i brick my phone?

Ok...so my tp2 is verizon and I did the whole hardspl thing and somehow got the energyrom leo on my fone, and then wen i tried to update to the new sense 2.1 extreme rom, i dont know wat happened. It said to use this custom ruu thing which i clicked on, and wen it updated my fone, my fone does absolutely nothing now cept loading the start screen where it says Touch pro2
I new something was wrong becus at no point was the .nbh that i extracted used, but no ruu came with the file that i downloaded...sighhh so is my fone dead or wat? I tried hard resetting, and although i am able to get to the hard reset page, wen i actually do it, it still just freezes where touch pro2 screen comes out

dont trip
i've 'bricked' most of my phones i've played with at least once. If your getting anything your ok - go to boot loader mode, reflash the original rom on it, then the one you want. Make sure your battery has a good charge also ^^

Failed flashing with CustomRUU.exe
Every flash has failed (freezes at "Touch Pro2" boot screen) when I tried to use a ROM that uses CustomRUU.exe (Miri, Cell_Pro, Athine, AF, Shadowline, and others). Flashing ROMs that use ROMUpdateUtility.exe already extracted flash fine. I've even tried first flash the original Sprint stock ROM and then flashing a "CustomRUU" ROM but without success. I've also extracted the files from the CustomRUU.exe and then run it with the nbh file but that doesn't work either. HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint)
Any suggestions?

You're flashing CDMA ROMs, right? Not the GSM only ones found here, but CDMA ones from elsewhere, like here? Try flashing one of the CDMA ROMs found at the second link, and see if that works, because I think you may be flashing GSM ROMs onto your CDMA device, which would explain why it flashes, but doesn't boot properly. Hope that helps

Apparently, I was flashing a GSM ROM. There really should be better indication of what the ROM is designed for than simply being in a particular form. It wouldn't be any trouble to add a few characters (GSM/CDMA) to the file name to make it clear.
Thanks!

My Verizon tp2 is stuck on the TOUCH pro2 screen when it tries to boot.. It will not hard or soft reset. So it's not being recognized by my pc to do the hardspl thing. I was trying to flash the perfectblack rom but it said it was not for my device...so i tried Energy rom.. it flashed but will not boot.. please help...how do i fix this.

Well...I took it back to Verizon...they are sending me another one. Have to figure out what I did wrong because I truly wanted to try a cooked rom or two.
Back to the drawing board.

Wait, you are sending Verizon your phone with a non-booting cooked ROM and the HSPL on it?!?
If they figure that out, there's a good chance you'll be SOL.

Exactly. Even if you have insurance on the TP2, if you sent it back with anything that is not stock, your insurance is probably voided, they probably wont give you your phone back, and you might even have to pay full price for a new one. Good luck man. Definitely should have held out for some responses before you sent it out. If you haven't then that's good, but if you did, your probably out of luck.

Why didn't you try what the orginal poster did?
I loaded a GSM rom on my Sprint TP2, I wasn't paying attention to the orginal
Post and just thought oh.. I want this rom..
What I did,
Turn on the device while holding down the Power button and the Volume Down key. If you see Serial and 3-4 colored bars plug in your USB, and reflash with a CDMA Rom.
This fixed my Phone. Credits to the gurus at PPC Geeks. if i find the topic later I'll post it.
