I have SPL-2.20.OliNex but still can't enter manually into the bootloader, camera+soft reset doesn't work.
I can install custom ROMs but only if have ActiveSync connection. So I guess if I install Android to NAND it will be impossible to return back to Windows or even update the Android.
What should I do?
I always enter bootloader from the device. I run a little app called bootloader.exe
and once I have the colour bars, then plug to usb
I can not provide the file since I deleted my kitchen. You can download my 23569 ROM and use some tools to simply uncompress all files to a folder in your pc and then find the file and transfer it to the ppc. Then simply execute it from a file explorer and create an icon for future use. You will preserve your ppc hardbuttons and you will access the bootloader mode quicker. Good luck
Here is bootloader for wm,if you are running android via haret you could try Quickboot or Root booter,i know they work on a g1 but im not 100% they work on the polaris.

Hi
I have been trying to application unlock a vodafone v1415 (HTC VOX) using several ways including the standard regedit method here http://wiki.spv-developers.com/HTC_Application_Unlock_Guide
But when i try to alter the reg values i get
"Error" in the title bar and then
Unable to perform this operation
Any ideas out there!!
Hi
Did you ever find a solution to this? Im having the same issue and could really do with a resolve?
Thanks
Hi
Download this tool
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en
Install on your PC then find the following file
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Security Configuration Manager\tool.cab
copy it to your v1415
run it from your phone
reboot your phone
then connect your phone to your PC run the Device Security Manager
it should say your device is connected
Save the config as something you will remember (in case things go wrong!!)
Then change "Selected Configuration" to security off
Then Provision your phone
Reboot the phone
and thats it
All the best
Many thanks for you reply. I did exactly that this morning and all is now well.
Thanks again.
Other thing:
Put the Cert.CAB de XDA dev, and run SDA Unlocker on the PC, device synchronized.
Then you'll be able to modify registry values to be fully app unlocked.
Another try (but not necessary) is Paul from MoDaCo 's unlocker.
Actually if you choose the security off option from the device secuirty manager it allows full acesss to the registry like a full unlock.
Thanks.

I've been working on a step-by-step CLOSE-UP VIDEO guide to Flashing a ROM, including how to HARD SPL, to make available to users here. Here are things I'm still not clear on.
(These were posted recently to the Guide written by mskip in the Kaiser forums. He answered some questions, but these are still unanswered. )
Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead
2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step IS important) *DONT turn phone back on yet*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
** When is this step necessary & required (whether during initial HARD SPL or FLashing a ROM post-HardSPL) , as opposed to simply "Best Pratices"? What is this step accomplishing?
8. After a few seconds the tri colour screen will appear on the phone and "USB" will be displayed at the bottom
9. Unplug the usb cable for 30 seconds and then Replug (phone will not re-sync but still says "USB" on the screen)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
** Please explain #9, what it is accomplishing & thus why recommended?
"Active Sync" vs "USB connection"
Please tell me if this is accurate or not:
(1)When installing via PC vs installing via Storage Card: After data has been backed up to PC by way of "Active Sync", thereafter, when performing any ROM updates (HardSPL or flashing a new ROM) the app "Active Sync" is technically no longer involved in the flashing process, but rather, what's necessary is simply having a USB connection from device to PC, correct? Is the distinction that Actice Sync can foul up the basic data connection from phone to PC necessary to flash a ROM. I want to be very clear. Is this accurate?
10. Right click on the Activesync icon in the bottom corner icon on the computer, goto connection settings, deselect "Allow USB connections" and click "ok"
11. Microsoft ActiveSync icon will now have a red cross in it and the program will say "Connection Disabled"
12. Run the ••••••RUU.exe file on your PC thats in the same folder as the HardSPL .nbh file and follow instructions (ticking boxes and clicking Next) *DO NOT reenable USB Connections in Activesync*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
** same as above: Are these just more compensations in order to disable MS's incorrect assumption that the insertion of a USB cable always equals "launch an Active Sync session" ?
15. Unplug USB cable from phone then REPLACE SIM & SD CARDS !!
**Remember to re-enable "Allow USB connections" in Activesync connection settings after a successful flash**
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why, exactly, is it required to unplug the USB cable? Is it, again, a "Best Practices" precaution to prevent any kind of accidental read/write of data?
A few questions re entering Bootloader mode, various scenarios:
1. In some older guides, even for when flashing a rom to phone device from your PC , sometimes a step is specified to "enter Bootloader mode by holding & pressing the xxxx and xxx keys on your phone, and then xxxxx".
2. But if you have an RUU folder that includes the Bootloader.exe app, along with the RUU.exe and .nbh file, then by running the RUU.exe app, the entering bootloader mode is handled automatically, sending the commands to phone, which automatically place the phone into the tri-color screen mode? -- as opposed to one having to manually press xxxx and yyyy on phone to enter bootloader mode? Correct or not?
3. If correct: then, does it matter on which screen or in which mode your phone is currently on in order to begin the flash-ROM process? Could I just as well be on a Total Commander app screen or on a TouchFlo Today screen?
4. Some guide-writers recommend users hard reset their phones before starting a new flash-rom session, just for "best practices". Others consider this superfluous & irrelevant, and what matters most is a Hard-Reset be run immediately AFTER flashing a new ROM. ... Any opinion on this?
Flashing Via ActiveSync
<snip; this is deep into the flashing process >
2. Turn phone back on and wait until it syncs with your PC
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
** Would it be more accurate to say here "until your PC confirms it has a USB connection to your phone"? (You're not looking to run a sync session, but rather just getting a USB connection for files to be transferred from PC to phone.) I think the term "Active Sync" often creates more confusion than helpfulness in this whole realm of moving files from PC to phone. )
Question re RUU.exe file on PC:
From what I have seen in the ROMS I have used in years 2008-2009, the extracted ROM folders I've downloaded from the chefs have typically all had the file " Bootloader.exe " within the RUU folders, and that (in the case of mskip's Flash Guide for Kaisers) KaiserCustomRUU.exe calls the Bootloader.exe app which sets the phone into bootloader mode from the PC, without one needing to manually set the phone into bootloader mode.
But this is your response from your initial quick-reply, which confuses me"
The customRUU automatically puts the phone in bootloader mode thus there is no need for the seperate file (bootloader.exe).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
** This confuses me. I am principally trying to distinguish between when one needs to manually set phone into bootloader mode -- and when this step is handled by the PC's RUU.exe process. In the older (around year 2007) "How to flash" guides, users were often told they needed to create a folder, make sure they have the correct RUU.exe file inside it, make sure they have the correct .nbh file, make sure they don't have files that are there for those with soft SPL phone, etc. And as far as I can recall, in those older Guides, this bootloader.exe file was not included. And thus users were instructed to manually put their phones into bootloader mode...
The difference being that for the past year or more, chefs currently are now providing the whole contents of the RUU folder in the .rar file, so that if you've hard-SPL'd, then that .rar file has eveything you need, and all you need to do is launch the RUU.exe -- never having to set your phone manually into bootloader mode.
Yet you are saying
Quote:
thus there is no need for the seperate file.

I'm not a coder, but I don't get this. Why would bootloader.exe be inside practically every RUU Folder nowadays if it were unnecessary to set the phone into bootloader mode to initiate the flashing process? You were saying the RUU.exe app itself would contain some method of setting phone inot bootloader mode without even needing that bootloader app present in the folder.
Could someone please clarify.
And secondly: Does it matter one bit of difference which screen your phone is on when you commence with running RUU.exe ?
And third : If users happen to be confused, and think they must manually set their phone into bootloader mode, as part of running RUU.exe, and they do manually set their phone inot bootloader mode and get the tri-color screen: Does that conflict with or hamper in any way the running of the RUU.exe program from the PC? Or does the RUU process just simply proceed, and send an "enter bootloader mode" instruction to the phone, which then causes the phone, already in tri-color screen, to be reset again into bootloader mode (and there is no problem that the phone was already in bootloader mode) ?
After New Rom is Completely Installed and You Have Customized Your Phone:
** I think it in dutty's guide where he says "after customizing your phone, power down your phone, then power it back up". Is this power-down/ power-up cycle equivalent to just doing a soft-reset? What is the difference as it pertains to that specific step after customization?

Thanks to anyone who can please clarify these points
2. Removing the battery is not required in any level of flashing a ROM. removing the battery for Hard-SPLing is not required on all devices. For instance, my polaris doesn't require removing the battery.
9. Not sure why you need to do that but it IS necessary (you can pm Olipro about it) but i'm pretty sure it has to do with updating the connection between the PC and the PDA since while in Bootloader the PDA doesn't act as a plug-and-play device.
11. I don't recall this being an important step as I flashed hard-spls and roms without changing the AS state. you HAVE to have an activesync connection with your PC in order to flash (doesn't have to be synced, but the PDA has to be recognized by activesync, hope this is clear).
15. Yes, it is not a MUST. you can flash roms and spls while leaving the cable connected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Yes, if you have the full library containing bootloader and everything you can flash without entering bootloader manually prior to flashing.
3. flashing doesn't require a specific state. you can start the process whenever.
4. Hard-reseting before MIGHT make a difference... in some cases which i'm not familiar with. maybe there's an app which can disturb the flashing process.
Hard-reseting after is pointless as flashing a rom performs exactly that WHILE switching the OS.
-about the syncing.. yeah, you don't need an actual sync-session. a usb connection is enough (AS LONG AS the comp identifies the hardware of course)
-it doesn't matter if you have the bootloader.exe file inside or not (I assume it depends on your device as well.. but not sure). RUU runs bootloader automatically. about HARD-SPL.. yeah, i haven't seen a hard-spl which doesn't contain bootloader.exe.. (i again suggest you pm olipro about this)
-again, it doesn't matter which screen you're on when running the ruu
...
-about the phone codes for flashing... you can find all codes for all phones in the forum
for instance,
Polaris -> POLAIMG.nbh
Hermes -> HERMIMG.nbh
Blackstore -> BLACIMG.nbh
Diamond -> DIAMIMG.nbh
Raphael -> RAPHIMG.nbh
Trinity -> TRINIMG.nbh
yada yada...
you can search, and i'm pretty sure not ALL devices have this option..
the wifi also contains info about flashing from SD card.
also, wonderful initiative and i hope you will agree to post this in the GUIDES thread.
i have a problem. my omnia i900 has not working touchscreen and i want to use the second option to control-use my phone with trackpad/mouse but because my touchscreen is not working at all i must change settings to use trackpad instead of touchscreen by remote control(activesync) through computer. how can i do this, can anyone help me.
Install MyMobiler in you pc. It'll allow you to use your PC to control the connected phone.
mymobiler doesnt work for me because when i start my mobiler on computer the phone wants me to accept remote acces and because the touchscreen is not working i cannot accept it. i want to know exactly what program to use AND EXACTLY what to do to change settings on the phone(which file to change or overwrite and with what file to overwrite on phone windows through my computer)
TOUCHSCREEN IS NOT VALID SO I CANT CLICK ON YES OR NO(accept or deny) IN ANY CASE
please write me the exact process
Hey watch the freakin' caps n bold! I'm trying to help here.
Can you access any app? With a simple registry change you can use the trackpad like a mouse pointer... Set the "HKLM\System\State\Samsung\Mouse\ActionMethod" value to "3001" (without quotes).
Else you could do it with Mortscript (do you have it installed?). Just place the script attached in "Windows\Startup" and reboot your phone.
exactly, i cant install any app to phone, because if I want to install it, the phone will ask me to accept/allow the installation, and because touchscreen is not working I cant click on screen to allow installation so the only way to solve my problem is to change registry(to activate mouse/trackpad instead of touchscreen) by connecting computer and phone using activesync on my computer.
I have no experience with registry changing, I even dont know how to find the registry(hklm) and even dont know how to change it so I need exact instruction, but remember, I dont know where it is(reg) and how to change it. So please write me the exact instruction, step by step. Tnx for sending me mouse.zip file. I will use the file when somebody will ive me instruction how to do it.
I know to connect the phone with computer, I know how to use activesync, but to work with registry i am a rookie.
OR
please tell me the exact instruction with mortscript. is it connected with mouse.zip or is mouse.zip standalone script to repair the problem. I dont know how to use mortscript, I did what u wrote- I copy morthscript into phone windows/startup. at the same point i extracted mouse.zip into windows/startup. so both are in startup folder. please give me a little bit more detailed instrution about this. tnx
You know I just fired up my old i910 and with windows button I was able to enable mouse without touching the screen. Swipe dpad to get to settings navigate and enable.
good day.
I don't think he'll be able to send the "Ok" to the window...
Ok I've adapted it again...
Extract the files from mouse2.zip. Place "fix.lnk" in the startup folder and place the other two files on the root of the device (internal memory... not storage or memory card). Reboot the device.
I am trying to run the Topaz ROM file by transferring it from My PC which has windows 7 to my HTC Diamond 2 phone but I get a communication error. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
syrian
must have windows active sync program
Assuming you are trying to install a custom ROM and you have successfully installed HSPL, rename the .nbh file to TOPAIMG.nbh and copy to the root of your storage card and enter bootloader mode. It will flash that way as well.
If it is th estock ROM, you can also enter bootloader while connected to your PC and bypass Active Sync and then run the .exe.
Yep, Sync the phone with the windows, works with windows 7 (must download a seperate software form microsoft site), install HSPL, and than use customRUU, or the provided installer with the Rom to install it.
I think you should visit this thread. You'll find a lot of useful stuff there, including all you should know about flashing ROM, HardSPL, etc.
Enjoy!
So I have spent the last hour unsuccessfully rooting my samsung captivate. I have watched the video, that is sticked . Once I use the once click root button, and it sends my phone into the restart menu I get the same error every time I get E: in /sdcard/update.zip (status7) instillation aborted. I have also tried directly downloading the file onto my phone without the use of a computer, and the phone is unable to download the file cannot download. the content is not supported on this phone. I really need to be able to root my phone so that I can unlock it because I am travelling abroad, and At&t refuses to give me the unlock code.
Ok I'm going to try to make this as simple as possible for you. I will assume you have proper drivers installed.
1. Connect your phone to PC. (Phone has debugging mode)
2. Open the One Click Root folder on your PC and you should see a file call "root" in it. Take that and drag it into your internal sd card of your phone.
3. Rename it to update (or for some people, rename it "update.zip")
4. Now click the root button on the "One Click Root" program and your PC will attempt to push the root (update.zip) file into your phone. If it succeeds great you are now rooted!
5. If it fails then no problem, your phone will go into recovery and you can manually select the update.zip file you transfered and simply go to sd card and choose that "update" file and select "yes," you should now be rooted! This will probably solve your issue since you keep getting the abort message.
those seemed like very simple instructions yet somehow i managed to do them and still not have it work.
Connected the phone to the computer Debugging mode was on and i clicked mount to allow computer acess.
copied the "root" file into the SD card, where it was subsequently renamed "update" I run one click root, it fails, the phone then goes into recovery mode, and i click reboot, goes to home screen where i go My files --> Sdcard--->update and it then tells me that no actions can be preformed with this type of file.
Where did I go wrong?
try naming it "update.zip" then.
You could just use the AIO program that's stickied in the Development section. It generally works well.
