Tilt Bricked?

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.

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

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)

I will see if I can dump the Dutch ROM myself and see what happens next.
Thanks for your help anywhy!

Bricked
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

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,
Prateek

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330909
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.

help in changing rom after duttys v4rtm

I have flashed dutty's v4 rom and i want to change it
the problem is that when i try to do so i run
KaiserCustomRUU
my device goes into the 4 stripes screen it says usb
but then the program in the pc says error 260 and doesn't load the new rom
my phone still works as dutty's rom is still in but what can i do to change it?

OK lets start at the basics...... In bootloader mode (tricolour screen) what text does it say at top of the screen?
Have you DEFINITELY Sim Unlocked and CID unlocked?

it says these things
kais130 mfg
spl-10.0.Olipof
cpld-8

Ok that confirms you have the capability to flash. I have seen in the past some people have managed to flash one time only using jumpspl but then their device reverts back to original bootloader...I was one of those people
Next question then...Can you boot the phone normally and gain an activsync connection to it?

yes
i can use my phone normally
only i cannot put a new image in

Are you using Xp or vista? If using vista it may be worth trying a reboot... sometimes it goes doolally with its usb ports. If you cannot see the phone through WMDC or activsync after a reboot it is worth going to SYSTEM (on your PC) viewing non present devices through device manager,( Drop to Command prompt and type... Devmgmt.msc set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 ) removing the relevant phone connection and then re attaching it so that windows re detects it.
If you can get a connection via actvisync (win XP) or WMDC (vista) to your phone then all should be ok. Uncheck the activesync/ WMDC "allow USB connections" and try again.
If this still doesn't work then search around here for MTTY. That will allow you to specify the usb connection to the device...amongst other things.

thank you for your time
i have win xp and activesync works nice
the problem is when bootloader starts

When you attempt flashing, do you do it from the device already booted into windows mobile or direct from bootloader?
Which ever way you have tried it, try ther other way.
Not teaching you to suck eggs but just in case you dont know.... To get direct to bootloader hold camera button and soft reset with stylus whilst holding camera button down and the tri colour screen should appear.
With device at the bootloader screen, Can you confirm that you hear the windows "noise" when you unplug and re plug the USB cable just as you would when plugging and unplugging the device normally. This will determine if the device has connection at the bootlaoder stage.

why not just flash using the microsd card. its much easier that way

yes it has connection
the thing is that i have already flashed as i told before with dutty's v4
now i can't

Usually Error 260's are related to the USB port functionality ( Port can't be opened etc).
The SD card method or MTTY should sort you out.

thx again
hope it works

at least the sd trick worked!!!!
now running on winmob 6.1

Glad to hear you sorted it.

almost
i cannot use my sd card cause i have to have it formated in order to put a new rom in

disable USB connections in ActiveSync and flash.

This Link gives a list of eror codes for Hermes, and probably the same for Kaiser.
It's likely that you have a USB port error - maybe try changing the USB port you use or a different sync cable - or just stick to SD card flashing in the future - I keep an old 1gig card for this.

this IS the problem...i cannot flash...
it stays in the bootloader with the message i wrote

OHHH lord dutty we need your new rom

stuck updating to wm6. activesync can nolonger see my device.

Hello all. I have followed the instructions to get wm6 and got stuck on step 9 of Karhoe's guide. Activesync will no longer see my device. so i cannot move forward. my phone is stuck on bootloader screen. After 'resetting device' in terapro. i saw the splash screen on my device then it went immediately to the bootloader color bars. everything else showed exactly what was on Karhoe pics. i just need activesync to see my device so i can proceed. any suggestions please. Thank you very much.

Activesyn will not see your device as it has been wiped clean of windows. Since you will need to be in booloader screen to install wm6, it doesn't matter if your activesyn sees your phone or not.
I ran into the same issue, i had to actually disable the 'allow usb...' option in activesyn so the romupdater utility can see the phone. So try it both ways.
enable it as suggested and just run the next step of installing the wm6gsmupdate...if you get some message saying connection error, then disable it and try again.

no activesync. Error [264]: Connection
thanks for the reply flashhsalf. it has not worked out for me tho. i tried both ways several times. enable/disable usb. i get same ERROR [264]: Connection.
im going to try it with a different laptop.thanks again.

Once I have this error too. Just reboot my PC and format BINFS one more time and all became fine. Don't know that is the reason, but this trick was helpfull

Have You re-enabled "Allow USB connection" @ connection options in Your Activesync??

got it to work...!!!
thanks all. i tried what was suggested all day...then when i went home i tried again with no success. to the point where my battery just died. i thought it was a paper weight at that point. but i decided to plug into the charger and the bootloader came up again. this time without the USB indication in the lower left corner. after a 2hr charge i took it to the same laptop which i rebooted. enabled usb then it worked! strange but glad i got it to work. Thanks again folks!
i updated to 6.1 but im experiencing issues with internet. ERROR
the remote party has ended this connection. this is the case with MMS as well. anyone experience this?

Xdabe if you actualise Radio ROM, before upgrading to WM6.1 you wouldn't notice that problem with an Internet.
Try upgrading Radio ROM for your device.
Gsmsikar once you are in bootloader, and have SuperCID, just start installing Radio ROM first, then OS.

Prophet dead after update to WM6

First i want to apollogize for my bad english, it's only what i've learned at school.
So here's my problem: Today I got my new prophet. I wanted WM6 on it, so I tried to Update. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350033
When I clicked on Hardspl.bat to install hardspl. First there everything was right. after some time an update window appeared. I continued up to the part where the wizard tells from which version to which version the phone will be updated. There was a empty field at both, so I think the wizard didn't rekognize the phone or the System version. I cancelled and disconnected the phone. Then I connected it again and updated it manually by clicking on the file ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe which was in the same folder as the coffie rom i downloaded. Everything was allricght and the wizard tells that the update was succesfully. But after disconnecting the phone It didnt start. It shows the O2 logo. then there is a colorful scrren with the spl and ipl version. there it hangs. I can't connect via Active Sync. It says "not connected". is there anyone who can help me?
@dit: OK, its back alive, Sorry for the unnecessary Posting.

try download and flash with this rom http://www.mrpalm.com/dopod818pro_rom.zip

If the ROM version does not appear when using the utility wizard you have NOT completed the HardSPL process. When you HardSPL the screen will turn white and the USB will disconnect. Unplug and reconnect the USB and then follow through with the wizard steps. Make sure you new SPL ver. upon boot-up is actually changed before you proceed to the actual ROM upgrade. Took me a while to figure out. Good Luck!
