First of all, thank you to all the modders out there. Next, thanks to everyone who gave a little time to help me with my problem.
A little background: I have an ATT Tilt, it is about 18 months old and for the most part has been functioning great. I have had several different ROMs on here - I probably have had 12 or so ranging from 6.1 to 6.5 and back. I have been using HardSPL for as long as I can remember. The most current ROM I had was a clean 6.5 Build 23003. It was working really well, except for sometimes I couldn't get the phone to come out of sleep mode and I would have to soft reset. It started happening more and more frequently, so I decided to reflash to Ultimate-X2.V6 -23004. As I was reading through the thread, he recommended HardSPL 3.34 and Radio 1.71.xxx. No problem I said, so I went off to flash 3.34 to replace my 3.56 SPL. I was using a 1.65 radio, but I never got the chance to upgrade.
So thats where the problem starts. When I try to flash the 3.34 SPL (following the instructions and using JumpSPL) it flashes, but then the phone doesn't reboot. I figure the SPL wiped out something, so following the recommendations in the Ultimate X2 thread, I attempt to flash the ATT Stock ROM. I start the phone up in bootloader mode (the bootloader still says 3.56 - interesting eh) and then flash the ATT Stock ROM. The ROM installs but the phone never reboots...
I have tried flashing Radios and other ROMs and redoing the SPL, but the phone just doesn't boot. I can reliably get to the bootloader screen, but it still says 3.56. I tried following the Wiki for "Kaiser Stuck in Bootloader" and flashing ROMs or SPL that way, but it still doesn't work.
I would also love to give you guys that diagnostic information (I should have done this last night) because I was able to view it, but now when I try to boot KAISDIAG.nbh from the memory card it just sits at "Loading...".
I have tried just about every step of different ways of flashing, different SPLs, etc. If there is anything anyone can recommend or try I am more than willing.
Let me know if you need more information or I need to clear anything up.
Again, I appreciate everyone taking time to read this and offer up their expertise.
Thanks,
OutrightLie
Only thing i can suggest is flashing 3.56 again with th SD card. Then 3.34 with the SD card. Or have you tried that already?
Just wondering... do you removed SIM card before flashing your new HardSPL?
I *think* I have tried that.
Does JumpSPL do anything other than put the phone in Bootloader mode? Or is all I have to do, just copy the *.nbh to the memory card, rename it to KAISIMG.nbh and then let it go. If JumpSPL does something more, I may be in trouble because I can't get to an OS.

I never have. Not with roms radios or SPL. I know its recomended but i have never had a issue with that.

I did remove it the first time, and a few times after that while trying stuff. The first time - for sure. Other times, it was in or out while I was just playing around with stuff. Hopefully something I did subsequently didn't make the problem worse.
Are there any steps I can take to if I did leave the SIM card in during a troubleshooting flash that screwed it up?

From SD. You will need kaisdiag.nbh and then rename Spl to kaisimg.nbh. Have those both on root of card.

I will try that. I need a memory card reader here at work, so this may have to wait until I get home. The only roadblock I see, is right now I have just KAISDIAG on the memory card and it gets stuck at "Loading..." when I attempt to boot. It didn't do this last night, but this morning it seems get stuck there.

I have one in my share folder. Might wanna get it and format the card..remember it has to be fat32 and replace the kaisdiag and SPL just to be safe.
I will give it a shot when I get home tonight - unless I can find a memory card reader before then.
Thanks!

Note your sdcard should be formated FAT32
I just got home. I copied the KAISDIAG.nbh and the 3.56 bootloader (called it KAISIMG.nbh) to the memory card after formatting it to FAT32. It attempts to load the KAISDIAG, but stops at "Loading...". I tried both a 2GB SD Card and an 8GB card, still no luck.
Any other things I can try?
So I went thru the root process shortly after it got figured out. great work to everyone. I had everything running smooth today I did the daredevil process to get back to 32b and all was well. I loaded a hero rom on there and did not repartition my sd card first so was obvious that it was running too laggy. decided to do a restore from last backup to go back to the 32b rom and realized after it was done that there was no backup since I went from 32a. now I am stuck at the red vodafone screen and cant get passed it for obvious reasons. I can get to fastboot but that is it and unfortunatley I am at work so cant update drivers to get sdk tools working to fastboot anything. I dont think I am totally screwed (since I can get to fastboot) but wanted to see if anyone had some ideas. I can download files and transfer them to my sd card as I have a reader with me (just in case)
You should just be able to boot a recovery image via fastboot and reflash a 32b ROM from the SD card. If you can get to fastboot, you're not bricked
guess it was a good thing I created my goldcard on a 128mg sd card that I had and kept the goldcard on that just in case still have that with the sappimg on it. just in case
So, when I got my Dream, I instantly wanted to root it. I did so using with a little deal of difficulty using the goldcard method. It was fine, put ROM's on and everything..
Anyways, it stopped charging, sent it to Optus. They had it for almost a month. When i got it back, it had been unrooted and put back on factory Donut firmware.
Now, im attempting to root it using the same method.
I have a different SD card than when I first rooted it, so naturally, I generated a goldcard for the new SD card. Put the DREAIMG.nbh file on, and tried to downgrade.
And for some reason, I keep getting the 'not allow' error on the 'rainbow screen'..
I've been told it MAY be a 'perfect SPL'.. idk if thats bs or a possibility, but any help would be greatly appreciated=]
hello
I just bought a 32 gb card for my inspire 4g, the problem is that i had use the 8 gb original card to create my gold card and now i want to know if i can install a rom from my 32 gb who is not a gold card or if i absolutely need the 8 gb to install roms.
i dont want to turn the 32 gb into a goldcard, i am afraid i could spoil it. anyone tried to create a coldcard with a 32 gb and succeed ? the card is from the brand kingston
You don't need the goldcard anymore. Hopefully ever.....considering HTC CEO statement today regarding bootloaders. The goldcard was only required during the initial downgrade to obtain s-off.
You can load your new card up with roms and flash away.
My opinion is to not turn that 32gb card into a goldcard, cause that'd be overkill x8! You actually shoulda got a 4 gig card for the goldcard, but that's alright tho. Since you already made a goldcard, you don't need to make another one. If you have to use a goldcard again, which is very highly doubtful, you already have one. Like newter55 said, you can load up and flash away to your hearts content. Now, I'm not sure when, or even if, our bootloader will be unlocked. However, if they say ours will get unlocked, then the earliest to expect that would be when we get our official gingerbread update.

am i the only one having a problem making a goldcard?
i've seached several threads here and several external links to how to make a goldcard all with slight variations but still cant get it to work.
i have used both a kingston mirco sd and a sandisk mirco sd to no avail..
i have tried using mmc0, mmc1(well mmc1 wasnt available) and mmc2, i copied out the numbers from the CMD, reversed them manually, replaced the first two-digits with '00', got the image from the website and did the hex editor thingy and confirmed it worked by removing it and putting it back into computer and phone without any error prompt to format, but still i cant get the downgrade to work. i always get the 'CID error, update failed' message.
im trying to downgrade my desire z from the OTA 2.3.3 to something that can be rooted following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912, and i was hoping to try out this custom Rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216997 but it seems like my dreams wont come through coz of the goldcard issue.. :-(
we are on the same boat man! hirap amp!
try to ask here...
some already downgraded their units...
soon for my phone but still reading some stuff which rom to use
its so hard to root htc desire always cid installation failed
