Im trying to upgrade my jammin with the latest dopod rom ..Ive got hold of the romupdateutility.exe which bypasses the vendor id but now when i run the .exe it comes up with the error
'ERROR [240] File open'
As anyone got any ideas as to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
any ideas guys ???
Thanks
You most likely need to copy the nk.nbf file into the same directory as the romupdateutility.exe file.
I am having the same problem with my new mda IV compact i have tried to load the rom in every different way but still the same message comes up, i am trying to change radio settings to the 06 version. i have done the spl load but can't do a flash rom. any ideas please
I have the same problem i have installed HardSPL
But when i try to run the roms KaiserCustomRUU this error pops up
is there a certain program i should be using to run it? or did i save it wrong?
Make sure the phone is in active sync mode. My diamond i had this problem then realized that i had it in disk drive mode. switched it back and i was fine.
hey.. problem solved for me.
Click that "View README" button right next to the llast button you click before you get the error.
Where is that file located on your computer? For me it didnt load, but it said "could not find file at c:\windows\system32\readme.doc".
I took the cue, and moved my *.nbh file into the system32 folder. Voila! It was weird because I was running the ruu.exe file from the desktop (on a vista PC). I guess for some reason it was looking in system32??
So give the above a try. Might work for ya
Hi,

Hi all
Do you switch your HTC Kaiser on first thing in the morning? Are you fed up looking at some naff operator logo. Well, look no further. I've made a custom Splash Image sequence called "Dawn Chorus". It's designed to make you feel that little bit better in the morning. Here goes:
1) Copy "welcomehead.96.png" in "Dawn Chorus.zip" to the \Windows folder on your device. You may need to use a programme like Total Commander PPC.
2) Copy "animated.gif" in "Dawn Chorus.zip" to the "\Windows" folder as above.
3) You MUST have your device HARD SPL'ed. If you don't have Hard SPL installed then don't go any further!
4) Copy KAISIMG.nbh (in Dawn Chorus.zip attached) to the root of your Storage Card.
5) Completely power down your phone using long press power and selecting "Yes".
6) Press and hold the camera button and press the power button. Keep the camera button pressed until you see the tri-colour bootloader screen.
7) When prompted to, press the power button again to start the flash of the new splash screen.
8) Wait for the progress bar to go all the way over. After you have COMPLETED! SUCCESS! or something like that in blue writing on grey background soft-reset the device using the stylus in the hole method.
9) Enjoy your new splash screen and feel better every morning!
10) Delete KAISIMG.nbh from the root of your Storage Card.

Gorgeous, been some great sunsets over the last few days.
Thanks.
Okay, have to be doing something wrong. Phone goes into bootloader, but no prompt to press power button
What am I doing wrong ? I followed all the steps, copied kaisimg onto my SD, camera power,bootloader, nothing.
hmmm
Well it works for me but never did get the green button holding the power and camera but held it till i got the tricolor screen and waited and restarted and all works ok for me . I have a great sun rise now
Thank you
Root of SD

Hi
Did you place KAISIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card? Is your device security unlocked? If you can't get it to work, try SSPL. I don't know if that will work but it may be worth a try.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply.
Yes , I put it on the root of my SD card. Tried moving it with Total Commander, tried cutting and pasting it on to the SDcard. My phone is security unlocked and flashed with 3.29Hard. For some reason when I put the phone into Bootloader, KAISIMG.nhb just won't run. Is there a way to run it off the desktop?

Don't use SSPL.
SSPL is for flashing the SPL (Bootloader) on the device, nothing more.
@denco, you need a FAT32 formatted card, and sometimes some card's just don't work. Just flash it with the RUU.

Hi denco7
Yes, take a ROM/Radio update with any update file in and CustomRUU.exe. Rename KAISIMG.nbh to the same as the existng .nbh file in the folder and replace the existing update image file. Then just flash from desktop as usual.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Not sure if it's called "KAISIMG.nhb" on your device or was just a typo, but it's "KAISIMG.nBH, not "KAISIMG.nHB."
thanks for this ^^ normally i only reboot my kaiser if something went wrong
so your great startup screens really help me to calm down
btw. flashing via sd-card doesn't work for me.
renaming to RUU_signed.nbh and flashing using active synced worked fine

FYI: The RUU will flash the first file it finds with an NBH extension in it's directory. No need to re-name, just place the RUU and and NBH in the same directory and it will flash

Thanks, Dave
That was my first thought, that my card wasn't formatted right. Just wanted to make sure running RUU with KAISIMG would be alright.
EDIT: That worked, one question though, is it supposed to be animated ? Either way it is beautiful, thanks for this and the Neon theme, which I use all the time.
Anyone have a idea?

Hello Liang.
I can tell you how to make Nandroid backup of your Magic/Sapphire. I am not sure what NBH backup means so maybe it's not what you want, but it is definitely what we want. Please could you do the Nandroid backup for us? We have a cut-down HTC Magic here in England, with no Exchange ActiveSync and we really want the full HTC Asia version of the software.
This will not modify your phone or software in any way. It will just do a one-time boot with the special nandroid recovery menu where a backup can be done. Afterwards everything is back to normal.
Here's how to do a Nandroid backup:
Firstly, download fastboot.exe, or if you are on Linux, just fastboot. You can get fastboot from HTC's website, here's the link:
http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html#s2
Save fastboot.exe in just c:\ (the root/beginning of your C: disk).
You need to make sure the USB drivers for the HTC Magic are installed on your computer.
Then you need to download this file, unzip it, and save it to your phone's sdcard:
http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/recovery-new.img.zip
You must unzip the file, so that you have "recovery-new.img" on the SDCard.
Then, please turn off your HTC Magic, and hold down the Back button (arrow button next to the Search button), whilst turning the phone on.
This will enter Fastboot mode, and the phone should show "SAPPHIRE xxxxx FASTBOOT USB" and some other information.
From your computer, go to a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd [enter]), or just Start -> cmd [enter] if on vista.
Type: cd \ (that's CD, space, backslash) then [enter]. This changes your working directory to the root of the c: drive, where we have saved fastboot.exe.
Then type "fastboot devices" and make sure that fastboot on the computer can see your phone. Hopefully it will return a model or serial number of the HTC handset.
If so, please type "fastboot boot recovery-new.img".
This will start your phone up with the modified recovery image, which has Nandroid backup built into it. You should now see the recovery screen on the phone, with some menu options, including "Nandroid Backup".
Please choose to do a Nandroid backup from the menu on the phone. This will create a folder on the phone's sd-card called Nandroid, with some other folders inside, with backups of the system.
You can then choose restart from the Recovery screen and everything will be back to normal.
Please can you do this and send us the files? From your perspective it would be better if you wiped the phone (Factory reset on the phone, Under Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Factory data reset) before doing this because we don't want your data. Or you could just do it, zip up the files and contact me and I will take your files, restore here, wipe data, then re-zip the files, so nobody will have your information. If you are not happy with that, you could just send us all the files except data.img. I'm sure that would be OK.
I can create a private FTP server for you to upload to if you want, or you can use rapidshare or similar.
My email is : carl @ css-networks.com , or you can send me a message on this forum.
please do it

Liang, anything ?
you're the unique person in the world who has this opportunity.
all people's waiting for you, you will become a big star !!!
YES YOU CAN
if he doesn't do it be patient.... if possible.... it is being release in most places in a couple of weeks at worst (Australia getting it on June 15- we are getting HTC version thru 3 and Voda version thru voda...).....I will have a crack at it as soon as i have it- i want it rooted straight away but would prefer to still have aussie/Asian version....

Try the Rogers from this forum. Exchange ActiveSync works extremely well, mail, calendar, contacts and folders.
Hi, I'm new to this forum and also a new owner of HTC Magic in HK.
I've tried cmf's instruction to fastboot with recovery-new.img. However, the screen seems just stay on the "HTC MAGIC" logo and looks like it's hanged... And I've no way to power it off except pulling the battery...
So is there any more thing I can do to help? As long as I don't need to flash until I can get a safe flash backup, I can still try them out (Well, I'm still afraid of bricking my first smartphone...)
yes, same here in HK HTC Magic, after sending the recovery-new.img, the phone is re-booting with hanged in HTC magic logo

I found that it is possible to execute files inside the /sqlite_stmt_journals directory. So I'm thinking... If we can copy the su command to /sqlite_stmt_journals and execute it there, then we can gain root access?
But I don't know where to get su from... I can't find the file inside the phone...
Anybody can share some insight on this?

You could try copying /bin/sh to su, if the phone is using something like busybox (a multi-call binary), then the one program acts differently if it's called a different name, if you see what I mean.
Really it would be good if somebody who understood the Android stuff, like Haykuro, could explain maybe why the recovery-new.img hangs, and how a working recovery-new.img should be made that can be started via fastboot.
Daldroid knows how....
Hi,
I mistakenly installed the PERSONAL version of theis rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546984
I did nothing to it and it works great. More by luck than judgement but I always thought you had to change the rom first
can you elaborate on the process and what was the configuration of your phone prior to that? were you on perfect SPL?
Erm..
I had hakura spl
I formatted sd card downloaded and installed if you tell me how to find the info on my phone I will post whatever you need

It's actually very simple to fix that, you change one file in boot.img, init.trout.rc to init.sapphire.rc, and that's it. You can then use any Dream ROM you like. However it's a bit of a drag getting all the bits together you need to be able to extract and repack boot.img, and then recompress the update.zip and re-sign it afterwards. One of these days I'll write a batch file that does it for you.

Hi all
I have a BIG problem.
I rott my phone with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401 (with Revolutionary). It was all ok, the recovery and the custom rom worked fine, but i wanted to restore the stock rom, whit this guidehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1187231, but the step 3 is not working, the ruu installer stoped with bootloader error (i try this rom: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release)
In my phone only run the bootloader:

I think my radio version is wrong, but i can't flash older version.
Thanks for help.
Have you tried the PB88 method? Secondly I think there are 2 Europe RUU's so have you tried the other?
It has nothing to do with your radio by the way!
Which one do you think PB88 method?
I try PB88IMG.zip copy to sd card, and y try the 2 europe RUU.
not working

How did you do it? Unzip your RUU, find a file called rom.zip, remane it PB88IMG and put just that file in the root of your sd card, then boot into HBoot.
How can i unzip this file, this is an exe file? Rename to zip is not work
this method not work, i think because my phone is s-on
It should be PG88IMG.zip
not PB88IMG.zip
You need to run the RUU exe, and when it comes to the first ROM install screen (after extracting files), leave the program open, go to Start -> Run, type this:
%temp%
Then in your temp folder, sort by date modified and go into the most recent created folder, and I think you have to go into another folder as well. Basically look aruond and find the rom.zip file, rename it to PG88IMG.zip, copy it to your SD card, then start your phone in bootloader. It should recognize the file and ask if you want to install.
if you have a goldcard and the other things not work. try the GoldCard and show wath the RUU say. (Boot in fastboot for install the RUU)
