Cant Flash my Vox! Plz Help

Hi All,
Out of the blue my HTC Vox stopped booting. I mean, it would load to the windows mobile screen and then stay there till eternity. Removing my memory card and SIM also did not help! I then tried the hard reset option.
Even after hard reset it sometimes boots(1 out of 15 times) and when it does...it hangs after 10 to 12 minutes. Still have not put my sim n memory card into the phone.
I tries flashing the ROM using the ARA 1.27 ROM. After it rebooted to the bootloader, the flash utility gave a connection error! It did not connect to ActiveSync and stayed at the bootloader screen.
I still do not know how to flash it successfully.
If anybody can help me out, I'll be extremely grateful!
Thanks
Prateek

take the battery out, put it back.
connect your Vox (USB).
Hold the camera button and turn on your Vox.
you should see a red, blue and green screen (if my memory works as it should) and the computer should recognize the device, though you won't be able to explore it with activesync.
Run the SDA_ApplicationUnlock thingy (if you need to)
now try flashing the device.
If it flashes but after 3% restart, you need to do a CID unlock right before flashing.
hope that helps.

Invalid Vendor ID
Hi MoRkusReX,
Its giving me Invalid Vendor ID. How do I CID unlock it?
Thanks,

first post , download the last file:
Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip
There a Readme file in there, you should read it.
post back where you're done.

No Luck!
Hi MoRkusReX,
Since my phone is not booting into the OS thus I cannot use the UPSL_CID provided in the link.
Only once I have been able to boot into my OS and followed the instructions given in the link. The phone comes to the Linux black screen and then switchers off. Then the ROM Update Utility with which i'm trying to update the ROM gives an error that "cannot connect to the phone".
So, now I need to flash my ROM from the bootloader itself. Have managed to get mtty and connect to the phone. But even trying ResetDevice command, the phone does not boot.
Can you tell me the exact steps to flash a new ROM from the bootloader itself including CID unlocking? Can it be done??
Thanks,
Prateek

yes it can be done.
you don't need to boot to OS, I couldn't either. after the steps from my first post here, run the uspl_116_jockyw.bat file. follow instructions.
that will unlock the CID.
Now the VOXs' screen should be white or so... then you run the ROM update thingy.

Hi..
I connected with the usb and got the bootloader screen.
tried running the SDA unlock program...the button to unlock the phone is grayed out. Cant click on it.
Next tried running uspl_116_jockyw.bat file
..cannot connect to phone and hence copy of haret.exe did not occur and neither did pmemtest run successfully...
What am I doing wrong??

ok..
first steps again..
battery out, back in.
connect USB
CAMERA button + Turn on.
now.. does windows do that USB sound? you know.. "tu du" ?

No sound....using win 2k Nt server edition...
but has detected my phone once on that USB and then allows me to talk to the phone using mtty....as in commands like ResetDevice work on the phone using mtty..
also, cannot get into bootlaoder mode with USB plugged in...

Steps and their results:
Disabled USB connections in activesync
Booted to the bootloader (red and green and Blue screen)
Connected the USB
"USB" displays on the left hand side corner
Now tried unlocking using Apllication unlock...grayed out button...
Tried running USPL bat but stops and says phone not connected when copying haret.exe
Using windows NT server 2003

if the SDA Application unlock button is grayed, of course the USPL won't work.
why "Disabled USB connections in activesync"?
And.. I doubt this is the problem but you should check on an winXP pc, I did it on XP.

No Luck!
Tried the same with USB enabled...same result

basically the thing we need to figure out is why your computer doesn't recognize the device.
the rest is obvious.
when I go to bootloader on my device windows pops up with a message says windows found device "and it's ready to use". like when you cannot every other USB item.
have you tried doing that on an XP system?

Going to do that now....lets hope it works....
Does ur activesync turn green when u connect at bootloader?
Also, I have removed my sim and memory card...thats okay right?

yeah, I removed both of them.
and no, activesync didn't turn green, but Windows recognized the device when I turned it on. turn on the speakers and wait for that winxp "USB connected" sound.

Still No Luck!
Tried doing the same on win xp...
no luck...
it connects to win xp ans says new device found...and ur USB device is now
ready to use...
after that i try application unlock it still gives me grayed out button....
ne suggestions???

Finally....
Finally got it done...
Thanks for all the help....
I managed to cold boot into the system for one time ans then SDA unlocked it and then ran UPSL .... it ran and then balnked out...
then i disconnected the usb before the ROM update utility and unchecked the USB option in active sync...
then i flashed it with the ARA rom...
Seems to be working okay now..will test for a day and see...
thanks a lot

I'm not sure this step was necessary but as long as it worked.. good times.
btw, how did you boot into the system?

kept trying hard reset and repeated booting...( it was booting 1 in 15 times type...)..and one lucky time it didnt hang..so used that window to slip in the SDA unlock and USPL..
thanks ...

you're welcome.

wizard g3 stuck in bootloader screen

hello everyone. i just bought a g3 wich remains stuck in the ipl/spl screen. i tried VIPPIE 's tutorial (many thanks man for ur work) and flash button rom 1.05 to revive the phone. it flashed without any error , but same result. phone doesnt pass the ipl/spl screen. next i tried to flash Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102, flashed ok but nothing happend. i m just stuck on the ipl/spl screen. the phone isnt bricked but i can not start it to do a soft spl and flash it. any ideas ?
because it s an o2 xda mini s , i thought an original o2 rom would do the trick (start the phone) but i couldnt find an original rom (tried the xda dev ftp page and the o2 one).
many thanks

hehh
same happend to me once. Go online and finde botton run , update utility 2.00.1
go step by step:
Disconnect your phone from the usb cable,disable any Firewall and Anti virus and reboot your Pc.
1. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC and remove the dummy card or SD/MMC card
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. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Don’t Bluetooth for the Upgrade)
4. When you see usb appear at the bottom of bootloader screen
5. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.
After then, install origial ROM. (u can try T-Mobile MDA Software Version (2.26.10.2) )
Let me know if it's working

Flashing rom without Activesync

Hi all,
How to flash the rom for a Wizard G4 without activesync (only with the bootloader mode)??
I had and error with my previous update and i need to re-install it in bootloader mode...
Thanks in advance,
TD.

Simply,get the phone in Bootloaders by pressing Camera + soft reset,it'll go into Bootloaders (RGB) and hook up the phone with pc via usb cable,watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloader Screen,if its there just run the RUU in the rom,it'll start to flash.

No, Its comm manager + camara + softreset...........

Don't work
Yes, my Wizard is in bootloader mode (the usb indicator is here), but when I run the RUU, no device is detected (it's normal because RUU needs activesync connection) !!! Same effect with the official ROM !!
Please help...
for your information, when my it re-boot it is blocked on:
IPL 2.17.0001
SPL 2.17.0001
GSM 02.07.10

yes it works !

Perhaps...
Perhaps you can try the sd card method, but one of the guru's here would have to confirm that. When my usb was busted, that method was suggested to me (click the link in my siggy). I don't have a G4, so I am not sure if the sd method would even work, but it is worth a read, and like I said, perhaps one of the guru's could confirm or deny this method.

SD Card
How to flash with SD? Do you have a link to do this?
Thx,
TD.

hello everyone!
Untill a few minutes ago I had a similar struggle; my Activesync connection was down exactly when I wanted to flash my device; I read all what was readable and after trying to flash tie new rom from the card, i just realised that if i press the usb cable firmly into a direction, the device suddently got recognised. SO, i guess that too much use of the usb port gets electrical contacts to get loose.

Not trying to oversimplify things, but is the device fully charged? Did you have any problems during the flash? Which SPL did you flash? Have you tried a hard reset? Can you get to the bootloader screen to verify the version of SPL installed vs. the version you tried to install?
Just a few questions to help us try to figure out what is going on. Take care!

How are you trying to get to the bootloader screen? Have you fully read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533976
Finally, I would recommend downloading the original ROM and installing it. The ROM for the Tilt is here:
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94
That is straight from HTC's website, and you might look to see if your specific phone is there. You should be able to download it, connect your phone with the USB cable and run the downloaded file from your computer to bring your phone back to it's original state.
If that works, I would then re-read the link above thoroughly and give it another shot. Hope this helps!

I am not asking what Windows thinks you have connected, or whether or not ActiveSync sees the device. What I am asking is: When you run the original HTC ROM installation program:
"RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe"
downloaded from HTC's website, is that program able to see your phone and go through the installation process?

To access bootloader, you should hold down the camera button (on right side of phone) and the use the stylus to press the reset button (on bottom of phone.) When the phone goes blank, release the camera button.
When you do this, do you still get the blank/black screen?
Also, did you follow EACH step in the following thread:

Fanning the flames.
Okay if you can't access the boot loader then you need to go higher up. I think the chain is Radio Rom, then SPL, then OS. Basically your SPL is gone, that is why your screen is black and you can't get into the boot loader --- cause its gone. So no duh, it can't load the OS. So, your only hope is that your radio rom is working so you can access the phone via cmd interface programmed within it.I really don't know what i'm talking about, but I've bricked my phone too and with some guidance (er explicit instructions in chat) I was (er she was) able to fix it [my situation was far more complicated with a "security locked" device, and a "radio from hell"].

Any Hint???

Hello
I´ve a phone that as a locked version of wm5.
I cannot connect it with active sync.It´s somehow disabled.
I tried to flash it through bootloader but I can´t.
I´ve disabled usb in active sync, and RUU gives me no connection error.
I can ear the sound in windows that a device was connected but can´t access the device.
I´ve read some posts and followed the instructions but still no success.
Any ideas??
I really liked to flash this device.It´s somewhat of a challenge.
thanx in advance

Any 1???
Ok
I manage some further steps but still no way to hardSPL the device.
What I did was:
1- Hard reset
2- finally managed to connect with active sync
3- I then runned ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe
4- followed the intructions
5- the PDA reboots to bootloader (and doesn´t connect with active sync)
6- in the PDA it appears usb (in left down corner) and RUU (in rigth up corner)
After that the progress bar doesn´t move and conection is lost (error 302)
After that at least I don´t have to recover
Can some1 help me??
Any1??any ideas??

1. are you sure that yours a G4?
2. you should read my post here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547
3. hope you that not yet screw up with G3 and G4.... or else your Prophet doomed... ( need to bring to factory... )
4. not 100% of device my HardSPL successful (like mmine ),
5. if so, just flash roms with my lazytool.. ,
ok ......
6. you should Flash NVID now, (must force bootloader with buttons pressed)
7. then activesync to PC (never disable the USB connection please ),
8. flash hardspl then (even not sucessful for 2 times...)
8. flash roms with lazytool
9. Good Luck

Still no luck
Thanx for your quick reply Dio
Anyway I still have no luck flashing NVID.
My device is a really G4.
I force bootloader, but then RUU loses connection and i can´t figure why.
I really follow all the instructions.
Already tried several times but no luck.
Another question:
is there any problem formating extended Rom.
It could solve some of my problems because it installs some CAB wich locks some of the device functions...
Thanks
