HTC TILT 8925 Phone wont boot anymore - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

Hey guys, I tried unlocking my phone but I think I ruined everything LOL.
Basically now, the phone only boots to the AT&T screen and restarts, over and over. Only turns on if connected to USB.
I followed the Kaiser Sim unlocker instructions all the way till like the 8th step and this happened. I installed the HARDSPL OLIPROF, it shows it on the tri color screen.
I can still bring it to the tri color screen, but when I connect it to computer it doesn’t show the active sync green screen (stays gray). I ran the sim unlocker again, it went to 100% complete, but phone still doesn’t turn on.
When I try to do a hard reset it stays click send, when I click send, nothing happens. I don’t know what to do. Did I permanently ruin the phone? I’ve searched Google for the past 3-4 days still can’t find an answer so I decided to post here for some help. Anything will be helpful thank you.

Your phone is fine. This part of the FAQ applies, I believe:
"*Put your phone into Bootloader and update to a 6.1 Rom first if you get a black screen after Flashing the Patched Radio*"
I had the same problem. Flash a generic 6.1 ROM such as _ATT Tilt_RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship, then repeat the unlocking procedure. Instead of a blank screen, you'll see the correct prompts on your phone to complete the unlock.

thx 4 the info. i was gettin ready to try to unlock my tilt.

I downloaded that rom. It completed. The phone is still in the same condition. Wont even turn on unless its pluged to usb and when its plugged in usb it wont pass the AT&T screen(restarts over and over). Did i install an incorrect rom?

Also, theres no sim card or sd card in it. Does that matter for now?

Sorry for posting 3 times. But the second the rom completes, the phone automatically restarts, so I don’t have a chance to do anything. And active sync doesn’t detect it

Try flashing through SD card. Check Wiki for more details on how!
Also take battery off, wait 10 secs, and put if back on. Make sure the batter is charged as well.

you should have askdd in that thread as your question doesnt warrant the starting of a new thread. go back and ask there and good luck

Stuck at 3 color bar

I'm having difficulty flashing the rom (There may be an issue with the phone, not sure yet). The phone was at 99% and the upgrade died, I'm stuck at the 3 color red/green/blue with the USB connection. I think there is a way to fix this, but I forget. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

What phone you got... G3, G4 ... CID Locked/Unlocked ?
G3, CID was unlocked a long long time ago. IPL/SPL 2.25 and it says RUU at the top right corner. I should of included the info, thanks for the help!

Turn the phone off (pull the battery if you have to) and unplug the USB cable. Then turn it back on so its back at the bootloader screen (rainbow color bars screen you saw). Now plug in the USB cable. ActiveSync will NOT connect, but thats fine. You will see USB above the left soft key. Now flash an offical rom (either the Cingular 2.25 found on the HTC website, or T-Mobile 2.26).
Read this thread for details, steps and links:

Once you get back on an official rom, then you can reinstall whatever custom rom you want (but you need to get back to an official one first at this point).

OK then...
Plug it into the usb, and when the bootloader appears, start flashing whatever rom you like...
Easy, right ?
hmm, it died again at 99% on the upgrade. I can do the official install w/no problem. Maybe I need to go back through the cid unlocker?

Please forgive me for stating the obvious but you do know that it is normal to stall at 99% for a few minutes sometimes longer.... What do you mean by "Died at 99%"?
To be honest. You didn't said anything but typical wrong flash case...RUU from custom ROMs to another custom ROM(or having CIDlock probs) is good method for having 3bars relax time.
it's question of the day: what do You mean by "died @ 99%". when i am flashing anything, stalls up to 5 minutes @ ANY percent arent reason to PLUG CABLE OFF,or ANY manipulation on pc, or ppc. if it just stuck forever, its time to turn back to old ROM image, or just any rescue ROM, SO:
revert to old rom with ruu, then install 2 cabs from shelltool, wait 30 secs, reset, turn radio off, plug usb on, and after adding nk.nbf into shelltools directory, and spectacular launching earlier mentioned shelltool, and rtfm od its docs, you may start to do what you've just read.
while flashing DO NOT DO ANYTHING with machines.
After finished operation you will see end so it IS END.
Hard reset.
100% positive flashes, if net is turned off, firewall killed and antivirus turned off. also, remove sd card before flash.
btw, what's your IPL/SPL...
Sorry, I should of been more descriptive. The rom update gets to 99%, then hangs for awhile, then the update application on my computer says that there was a communications error and goes into a recovery instructions. The phone itself stays at 99% until I unplug the battery.
I'll try doing the revert back to old rom in the morning, it's a secondary phone and I left it at work.
I had this problem as well...
I ended up just flashing a stock rom multiple times until it finally took.
I think I had to do it at least 2, if not 3 times before I was finally able to boot the phone.

So, you are experiencing this when trying to flash a stock rom.
Check if the RUU is not corupted. If you downloaded it now, it may also cause this.
Also...restart your PC and don't run anything in the bacground while flashing. Just to make sure.

Also make sure you remove the SD card in your phone if you have one. I've seen flashes fail when SD cards are installed.
Ok, I reloaded the rom. I can't figure out the button rom, there is a screen with a bunch of ???? that come up and none of the buttons do anything. :\ I loaded the wizard love one, which loaded ok. I tried the crossbow reloaded but it hung at 99% again and the application went back into error recovery mode. Maybe I'm just not meant to have it! lol. I don't have the sim or sd card installed atm.
Oh ya, this is probably the most responsive/helpful forum I think I have ever seen.
..removed..
I've tried on a clean machine and still same thing. What happens at 99%? Could the phone itself have issues?

All the roms will hang at some point towards the end of the flash (official ones tend to hang around 85% or so. The cooked ones hang closer to 99%). This is the point where the final part of the flashing is occuring and I think there is verification that what was written checks out as being valid.
If you can get a rom on and the phone working, and then do a hardreset and that works, then I would say you do not have a hardware issue with your phone (at least not from the flashing side).
BTW: Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 is out now. Please try downloading it and flashing that one (just to see if it makes a difference for you). It is very odd that multiple roms stop at 99% on your like this (hard to say its a bad download).
Sorry, I haven't reread this entire thread, but have you tried this from a different computer? ALso try to turn off any firewall, VPN, or even antivirus software on your computer while you flash to see if that corrects the issue. I think I remember someone trying to go into Safemode one time to do a flash.
Then there is also stand on your head or wave a dead chicken over your head while the flash is happening.... (yeah, I'm grasping at straws on this one )
Lol, thanks. I downloaded the 1.5 and going to give that a wing.
People... pleas read throught the forums!!!
Its so annoying that people asks the same question again and again and again. Dont be so lazy, do your research, search the forum and dont post ST$#"D questions!!!
Gah, error 302 every time. I loaded buttons ROM, unlocked again, tried reloading rom, then BOOM 302! Maybe WM6 isn't meant for this phone.. lol I can load any WM5 or lower and have zero issues.

Help with Error 260 on Wizard update

Hi, help please...
I have Wizard G3 with TNT 5 Touch Flow and tried to update radio T-mobile UK 2.19 Radio Only. update went OK but now on loading I see HTC boot screen then it moves to TNT 5.0 screen and then fades in two minutes and starts back with HTC boot screen. It then circulates like that for ever without passing to the Today screen. On connection with PC for new update with any rom it shows: Error (260) update error. What can be done?

it's a case of bad flash,did anything during flash happened like lose usb connectivity,pc crashed,battery discharged or something like unusual ?
Try to soft reset and see if it works,otherwise you'll have to reflash to official carrier's rom in boodloader mode,
1. Disconnect your phone from the usb cable,shut down any firewall,disable any Anti virus,Reboot your PC.
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. On your PC Open windows Task Manager...>Tab Processes...>wescomm.exe...>End process
4. Power off the phone completely (Not stand-by,shut off completely),or you may take the battery out for few seconds
5. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC via USB cable and remove the dummy Sdcard or mini-Sd card
6. Get your phone into Bootloader mode (Multicolor screen) by pressing camera button + Power on button
7. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Be sure that your battery is charged over 70%)
8. "USB"will appear on the bottom of the screen of the Bootloader (Multicolor screen)
9. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
10.Never use Bluetooth sync for the Upgrade
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.Please be patient when you're flashing your device, even if 98%. It can wait a little bit, 5 ~ 7 minutes.
Don't cancell the flash or get the phone off the usb cable till it confirms "Congratulations" or stops with an Error!!!
Hope it'll work, Good luck
Hi, this is the first time i saw a Paki guy on this web. I know there is alot of talent in IT profession in Pakistan. Anyway its good to see u here and i got a relief that with the help of a senior member like you i can get my phone work again.
To cut the chase, I have X01HT by Softbank Japan. It is Herms200 by HTC Japanese WM5 ROM. I have installed Asukal's English MUI and it was working fine for me. Now i'm planning to visit Pakistan this month so i though to unlock the sim and i used Prof v3a to unlock. I've successfully unlocked the sim and i guess CID also. When i use some other carrier's sim, i can receive the calls but cant make the calls out coz Softbank rom has a security which comes at screen and ask for password and dont let me do anything on the PDA. After studying alot on this forum i figured that i need to change the rom to get rid of that password message. i used the Olipro's Hard SPL and got bootloader 2.10 Olipro. I checked the other necessary stuff and when satisfied i started rom update. I end up with the same message of Error 260. Now my phone has no OS and it starts at bootloader. i tried everything possible like i make sure to remove all firewalls on my PC, used all the versions of Activesync and everything possible that i could. I trust that there is nothing wrong with the ROM etc but it is with connection.
Now if i update to the original ROM, i'm afraid that it will also upgrade my Bootloader and could never be able to flash english rom. I'm really depressed for the last three days and loosing sleep as well. I trust that you or any other senior member can help me with this.
Thanks in advance and looking forward anxiously.
Farrukh, wrong forum.
You know you have a Hermes, then you should know to post your questions in Hermes related forum, not wizard.
denflorida:
Try to update other Radio-only ROMs in xda's FTP server.
Sorry Brother, i know i have herms but i couldn't find some related topic in herms and i figured that Activesync problem is the same in all devices.
Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply. I'll try to find some from Herms.
Thanks
8125 rom update
i have tried to do a rom update on my 8125 g4. i recently purchased it off ebay and i have two problems. the reason i want to update it is because when i try to enable the wifi my device freezes. the other problem is that i can not seem to get the phone into boot loader mode. i have tried :
-turning the phone off and holding the camera button as i turn it on.
-holding the camera button and pluging it in to a usb port.
- using wizard service tool to enter boot loader mode.
after each of these different attempts i had to either remove the battery for 3 secs or hold the reset button for a few seconds before i can turn it back on. the phone still turns and just i can not use the wifi
Yes!!! Thank you! your instructions worked for me and got me past the Error [260] with my 8125 .

Radio Help pls!

OK
I've always had troubles flashing radios for some reason, I've managed to just not do it but now with Duttys 6.1 out I really need some help
- I've flashed Duttys latest successfully
- I've flashed HardSPL
- But whenever I flash the radio (1.64.08.21) I get a connection error at 99%!!
Now I can still get into the phone using mtty and the boot command.
Am I doing something stupid -- Any help gratefully received!
Alex
ps - I have a UK o2 XDA Stellar
I'm a newbie been here with a AT&T Tilt less than a week and I promise I'm reading, but I'm having the exact same problem. Flashed Duttys dual V4 as my first try last Tuesday without a problem and of course be a crazy new guy I wanted his newest work. So I flashed Duttys 6.1 today and I guess I just can't figure out how to flash radios, because I've tried 2 now and both error out at 99% and I too have to use mtty to get back into the phone. I'll keep reading, but if someone could tell us new guys what the heck we are doing wrong that would be great.
PS I'm glad to be here and this looks like a lot on fun thanks for having me and look forward to helping out someday.

Hey Alex! I figured it out Brother! Do this and you should be able to upgrade your radio. I was using JumpSPL1.56-KAIS run from my device and I was running into the same problem everytime I tried to upgrade my radio. Would get to 99% and then would error out. So I followed these steps taken from a number of different post and put together until it worked!
1) Make sure you have JumpSPL1.56-KAIS somewhere on your device the file for me is in "my docs" on my Tilt.
2) Run kaiser-HardSPL from your PC with your device hooked up via usb with the green act sync icon. Once you get to the white screen of death on you device, stop unplug you device and soft boot it via your stylus and the reset button. Leave your pc alone right where it stopped in the kaiser-hardspl screen. "should be to the point where it says unplug and replug in your usb you should have the tri color screen press enter to proceed"
3) Now set your connection settings in active sync to not allow usb connections.
4) Now plug you device by in via usb and run Jumpspl1.56-kais on your device. When it has the tri color screen and says usb, unplug usb and plug back in.
5) Now back in the kaiser-hardspl window, continue on with the on screen directions. This should now install hardspl just like the rom or roms that you might have already installed and will say finished.
6) The device should reboot.
7) close the kaiser-hardspl window and let you device fully reboot.
8) Once it is fully rebooted follow these directions: Perform a soft reset, when the screen goes blank hold the camera button until a multi colored screen comes up
9)Now run your radio update and it should go through without erroring out at 99%. It will stay at 99% for a bit then jump to 100% success!
My Tilt is working great now with sound and everything. Have not tested anything else yet, came right here and started to let you know what I did to get radio installed.
So now I'm running Duttys WM6.1 newest release with radio 1.64.06.
Call me crazy and sure I know I might have taken more steps than I needed to, but I got it working.
Hope this helps you.
Take care,
JMan
First, are you using a 6.0 rom or a 6.1 rom? If you are using a 6.0 rom you cannot flash any of the 6.1 radios and vice versa. Also, if you have hardspl installed, why would you need to use jumpspl. I have never used jumpspl and I promise I have flashed 50+ times counting, roms, radios and splash screens.
I believe that was my problem, I was never able to get Hard-spl installed and I was using jumpspl to install the 2 roms that I have installed since I got my tilt a week ago. The method I used above allowed me to get hard-spl installed and then I was able to install the radio rom. I am using Duttys WM6.1 rom.
JMan I want your babies!!!
Ok I had actually done everything upto the final step (holding the camera button after a soft reset) but that made it possible to flash the radio just as you described.
So many thanks for sharing your solution!!

I've RESEARCHED, and found no answers. I think it's bricked

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?

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.

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.

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.

Cannot flash rom! Weird 'loading ...' screen

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!
