Just curious if this is working for anyone. It didn't seem to work for changing the splash screen to the black HTC on my aku 2.3.1 ROM. I don't think I would try this on a complete ROM upgrade.
I'm wondering if this is due to Vista or the aku...
Well, it seems these attempts should be avoided as related by others....
I could not install Jesterz AKU2.2 on Vista yesterday. Kept giving me Error [260], i.e. the upgrade tool was losing connection with the device. Worked fine on XP pro this morning.
It could be related to the Mobile Device Center that replaces Activesync.
tried a downgrade yesterday evening on vista and it smashed my phone.
so i don't recommend it you can't get a "good enough" connection in bootloader from windows vista to the phone and active sync is not working anyway so that crap will be away by this evening. It seems to me vista is not yet ready. Good enough means that it shows on the phone that USB sign in the bootloader but the flash utility can't get a connection
cr0ssy, that's exactly what happened to me. In the bootloader I get the USB sign but the upgrade tool won't recognise the device. What I noticed was that Vista uses a different driver than XP. This new driver is what could be causing the problem.
hm maybe the old driver works on windows vista, too if just don't let it install automatically.
did you get the phone back to work?
I wonder if this has something to do with a move from NDIS- to a serial-based connection in Vista....
When in bootloader Vista recognises the device as Generic NDIS.
is yours back working kta? if, did you just put xp back on your computer and reflashed it in the bootloader? (or other computer)

Yes I then managed to flash the ROM from bootloader on another PC running windows xp.
mh did you flash then with the usual boot utility? is it possible to flash these customized roms which have a upgraderom.bat or something like that in bootloader mode? (don't want to expermient now that its not really working anymore)
sorry for getting a little bit offtopic
managed to upgrade without a problem on vista
which rom did you use and did you manage to install active sync?
phone is back working :> thanks kta
Yesterday I tried flashing my friend's Magician ROM on his Vista and had the same problem and had to use an XP laptop to flash. The upgrade utility program and others based on it (MaUpgradeUTNoID, etc.) seem to have a problem working with the new vista drivers.
without the beta Mobile Device Center, which you should downlad from MS, you can just access in explorer mode to your device, but you can not install anything to you device from vista. Just download the Mobile Device Center for Vista from the MS Page.

I have the Mobile Device Center installed and still have this problem.
the ROM upgrade tools do NOT work on vista (yet) there are several calls open with Microsoft to get this fixed, however I don't think it will be fixed in a few days seeing the speed of Microsoft......
For now, only update using windows xp
does the upgrade tools work on WinXP X64 edition?

Karhoe,
Let me congratulate you on this fine guide. However, you might want to put in some edits (since this guide is focussed more towards noobs):
The process is entirely possible in Windows Vista as well. I upgraded my phone multiple times to different builds on a Vista system without any problems. You need to follow this guide
Step 1) Please add QTEK 8300 and Imate SP5m to the list of Torando devices.
Step 2) Please add WMDC for Windows Vista users so that some noob user doesnt try to install AS 4.5 on Windows Vista.
I agree though that SPV-services wont run on Windows Vista. Overall, a fantastic guide ! Great job !

"help, i only get white colour screen "
Hello
Great Guide, I am a newbie i have just been given 3 of these phones 2 o2 xda iq's and a vodafone v1240, I am having problems i have downloaded the teratermpro got the o2 xda iq in bootload mode and run the program and select usb and then i comes up can't open?? any ideas. I am running vista not xp if that helps.
Cheers

It runs perfectly on XP, you will have difficulty using Vista, first of all, Super CID can only be performed on an XP system
Seems I have problems on step 9. I see bootloader skin and activate usb connection but it doesn't sync! the phone is not visible. help
no problem. i turned the phone off and turn it onholding the camera button. now the process in step 10 starts!
Hi,
I get that Tera Term error msg as well. "Cannot open @£$€" (USB). Running Vista. My phone is already SuperCID.
When connecting the USB (and entering bootloader-mode), Vista tries to install drivers for the device but cannot find them, maybe that's the problem?
Any clues?
/E
Maybe it doesn't work that well in Vista as I have said.
Try to do it on an XP system
I've passed 8 steps without a single error, enabled ActiveSync USB connection, but ActiveSync doesn't recognize my device whatever I do, unlike Katik wrote 2 posts above!!!
Now I just see the boot screen, with "USB" letters on the bottom if I plug in the USB cable.
Several times I tried to disable ActiveSync USB and run ttermpro.exe -- "info 2" works OK, but no luck after I enable it again.
Please tell me how can I establish ActiveSync connection??
The reverse process of disabling the USB connection
What process? I just check/uncheck "allow USB connection" in ActiveSync, do I have to do something else after I made "format BINFS", typed "ResetDevice" and enabled USB in ActiveSync??
I tried to connect/disconnect the cable, turn the defice on/off (pressing the Camera key or not), nothing helps so far...
Had no luck under XP after some tussle and reinstallation of ActiveSync, but finally succeeded under Vista...
(http://www.modaco.com/RUU-Vista-done-u-t252977.html).
Kinda exciting experience I must say.
The ROM is cool!
Congratz, welcome to the club
I can not for the life of me get this working!
Tried unlocking the C600 I bought off eBay both via the official Orange Developers thing (My IMEI is not recognised) and using the SDA Unlocker tool.
This says that my phone is not unlockable.
Anyone got any ideas?
Help! Please?!
Thanks for the Guide
While not a computer noob, I am hardly an expert with the ins and outs of my SDA.
Your guide was exactly what was needed to make the move to WM6. I ran into the same problems listed here - stuck in bootloader after the ResetDevice, but managed to get past it.
Thanks for taking the time.
I wanted to thank you for the guide. I've been waiting for a WM6 update since it was announced. I finally did it yesterday, and got it running on my SDA.
Step 13 - If you are using Dopod 577w, Qtek 8310, Orange SPV C600, I-mate SP5, you need to install this file to enable Contacts and Messaging button. If you are using Dopod 586w or Imate SP5M, you need to install this file
i want to download for i mate sp5m but i will not download can anyone is help me?
I think I know why, try this, right click and save target as, instead of clicking on it
Possibly the fastest phone brick in history... I did everything wrong...
AT&T Tilt, Windows Vista host machine
I ran the SSPL, NOT the Hard-SPL...
16% thru it failed
Rebooted, tri color screen, but not the same extact screen I had seen after running the SSPL on my Tilt.
Hard Reset, said yes take me to factory settings, back to same tricolor screen
Plugged it into a XP box, drivers installed, plugged in USB (it shows USB connection on the screen) Activesync of course wont go green
Loaded both the Kraiser rom and the Cingular rom, both fail at 1% and reboot the device and same invalid device ID..
Any ideas, aside from I'm a r-tard?
I ran the Hard-SPL on my HTC and it worked as it should. I'd say give that a shot, THEN try flashing the ROM of your choice.
-Mc
Problem is, when I run hard spl it expects activesync to be running, but in bootloader mode AS doesnt connect so Hardspl wont load =/
- Disable activesync usb connections
- Connect to bootloader with mtty and type the following commands to know your CID and Model ID:
Code:
Cmd>task 32
Cmd>info 2
Cmd>getdevinfo
Paste the output here, and also tell me which SPL version you have on your device.
Also, does the tri-color shows "RUURUN" or similar in the screen?
You should flash a ROM matching your CID to fix it.
Cmd>task 32
No card inserted
Level = FF
Cmd>info 2
HTCSCWS__001Ùü¤HHTCE
Cmd>getdevinfo
GetDevInfo: Get CID OK
HTCSKAIS1*00CS_0HTCE
Cmd>
Device screen says
RUUNBH
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
Flash this ROM, should bring it back to life.
I'm leeching it now, 40% done, also FYI, I've posted on the Official ROM forum new links to most utilities and ROMs hosted on my servers off the rapidshare, to share free of charge.
Ahh, life saver =) Thanks, I'll be sure to add that rom to my list of full Kraiser roms on my web server, now to correctly flash it back with the HTC rom.
Thanks!
Same problem as TS. Bigger problem ... does anyone have the Dutch ROM?
Tnx!
I got the same problem as Palmore. After 16%, stuck, then bricked. I am downloading the ROM pointed by POF (thanks man!!) hopefully will unbrick it. Now, how do we get the HTC Kaiser ROM on this thing? Anyone?
It's on my phone. Tell me how do dump it and I ll send it to you.

Run the Hard-SPL utility on your PC, and follow the instructions (sticky on this forum)
It will allow you to flash any ROM after that, I've flashed the AT&T Rom, the HTC rom and back and forth, pulling cabs out of the AT&T rom for the items I like (IM utility etc)

If you are a r-tard, it must be catching - same situation here at 16% and 1% now......

Hi Wouter,
I bought a new Kaiser today (yes now I have two of them ).
I will see if I can dump the Dutch ROM myself and see what happens next.
Thanks for your help anywhy!

Ok, so here is my situation. I have a Tilt and Vista.
I ran HardSPL and I am at the tri-color screen. I have:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.JumpSPL
CPLD-8
USB (in the middle of the screen)
I tried disconnecting and reconnecting it several times. I cant get HardSPL to run again (it hangs at the first section looking for ActiveSync) I tried restarting Vista several times. I can NOT turn off my device, as holding down the power button does not appear to work.
I have tried just running a couple of .exe roms (AKU 0.7.0 ROMS) and I get the connection error [264]. I cant re-establish my ActiveSync connection. In device Manager I have Microsoft USB Sync for the mobile device, but I cant get ActiveSync (Mobility Center) to see it.
I have tried opening MTTY to run "boot" but it says USB Port Can NOT be opened.
I just need some direction here, as it seems like everything hinges on my ActiveSync connection. I have been up and down the Wikis for Hermes and all the similar ones, and I think I am SOL.
I WILL GLADLY DONATE if thats what it takes for someone to help me. Thanks guys, I cant wait for my HTC Rom to work.
Vista Problem.
First off, i had the same problem as you so i just found an XP box to use.
Second, even with XP i still managed to **** up because i did not read the directions all the way through. This device is totally different so make sure you read all the directions.
If you have no access to an XP machine then u can just "obtain" a copy of XP and dual boot just for flashing your device.
If you have no idea what I am saying then read some more. the hermes forums have some great information when it comes to flashing via Vista.
For all you guys that just saved between $300.00-$500.00. How about sending POF like %5 or %10 of what he just saved you...
I'm just sayin'
Later, Lew
Have you installed the XP activesync drivers under Vista? The Hermes Wiki mentions somewhere how to do that.

I got it working. I had to pull the battery out of the phone to get it out of bootloadr, it was just plain stuck. Then, in Vista, I needed to F8, disable driver enforcement, I replaced the wceusbh.inf in device manager, and relaunched HardSPL and there she was! Now for the BigStorage.
Thanks to all that helped, I will be donating pof for sure
Sorry for my english, i'm french...
It is possible use hardspl with vista ?
And save my actualy ROM (SFR: vodafone) before flash ?
My phone is a HTC V1615 (P4550)
Thanks
yes you can use HardSPL with Vista. During the process, the instructions say to unplug and then reconnect the USB. When you do this, just make sure the drivers are fully installed after you reconnect, before you continue forward.
As far as saving your ROM, you may have to go to your carrier's webiste, and download a copy of the original ROM for a backup. It might be somewhere in this forum, as well, but you would have to search for it.
Hope that helps....
Thanks for your explications
For the original ROM i search it...but without result.
Thanks again

Go to this page for a tutorial and the files you will need for flashing with Vista
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?...23&Itemi d=27
Hrm link changed finding it again.
Ok here is working link.

I'm not having a WSOD, but at this point, at least that would be something happening. I've gone through the Vista-to-XP driver switch and everything else I can get my hands on, but can't get anything to happen after I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in. I've restarted Vista several times, tried a few different versions of the ActiveSync drivers, but I can't get passed the tri-color/USB screen. If I had another box to use I would install XP, but I don't at the moment. Any of you Vista Ultimate guys that have pulled this off, what did you do?!?
I've flashed on Vista. You have to be aware of a few things:
a) When the Flash process starts, the Rom Updater does not recognize the phone as a Kaiser, but is talking to the unit as a piece of hardware using the USB interface. Therefore, the mrvanx procedure must be followed strictly, since these are the drivers that will be invoked during the initial phase.
Before you plug and unplug, check Device Manager->Mobile Device to see that the driver "Microsoft USB Interface" has loaded properly. (It may be called "HTC USB Interface" too).
b) If you are running Vista 64 bit, the drivers must be signed, as mentioned in the mrvanx tutorial. Alternatively, you can restart Vista without driver signature enforcement (F8 while booting up, select this option) before flashing.
Hi my Qtek 9000 doesn't work anymore after installation of Ranju_v77_WM61_19900_19900_1_0_2.

Hi,
The answers you seek are in the WIKI.
Hold the backlight + power button whilst resetting the device. This will put you back into bootloader mode, you can then reflash the Rom.
I would also advise that you SuperCid your device before flashing any Roms, if you haven't done so already.
Again this is documented in the Wiki.

The problem is Vista!
Search the forum and you will find a post with a fix (old drivers) for Vista, or just use a Windows XP or previoous MS OS to flash your device.
I would suggest XP if you plan to keep flashing in the near future
do i need to super cid my htc universal in order to upgrade to ranju v77. my universal is branded dopod 900 and can use with any simcard. thanks
