Unbrick Your Maple from upgrade rom code error - Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development

First a disclaimer. I am an Android user so this forum is first and foremost always my guide. Everything I learned about Android OS and Windows OS I learned here BY READING.
If your phone is bricked it cannot get worse. If this method does not work then you most likely have a hardware failure and NOT a ROM failure.
***All data not previously backed up will be lost from your phone!***
Thanks to ookba for his Flashing and Unbricking your Maple post
And the OP of several other XDA posts I read late last night and can't recall at the moment.
Thanks also to my crazy Doberman Pinscher Bella for keeping her nose off the keyboard long enough to get this working and the post typed out.
After a bit of frustration, a lot of reading, some trial and error here it is:
***This method works in place of the goldcard method stated in ookba's post**
REMOVE YOUR BATTERY, SIM CARD AND MICROSD CARD.
Download your original factory ROM from your carrier (T Mobile) in this case, they will ask for you IMEI # it's printed on the tag under the battery of your phone.
**I could not get this to work with other RRU files only the factory ROM**
Extract it to a folder you can find using Win RAR or an equivalent RAR program.
Open the folder and rename the RRU_signed.nbh (or similar RRU file; it will be approximately 140 mb) to MAPLIMG.nbh
****(just change the file name, DO NOT rename it MAPLIMG.nbh.nbh)****
Copy the MAPLIMG.nbh to your microSD card and insert the card into the microSD slot in your phone.
Install the battery and press the power on button.
The phone will boot from the SD card and the update process will begin. It may return to the tricolor screen once; in my case it did.
***DO NOT panic.***
***Leave it alone***
The update will restart on its own and complete. It will state OK next to each step and complete at the bottom when finished.
When it's complete REMOVE the microSD card and then the battery.
The entire process took approximately ten minutes to complete.
ERASE the MAPLIMG.nbh from the microSD card before reinserting it into the phone with your SIM and boot normally.
Easy Peasy! Enjoy your unbricked phone.

severely frustrated and in desperate need of help!!

i've been trying to update my tilt's rom and I don't know what im doin wrong. i've tried flashing mbarvian's solace v 1.5 rom and revrom v8 (sorry I can't remember who cooked the rom) and neither is working.
i've followed every step in the sticky for noobs like me. but when I get to step 3, which is flashing hardspl, I get lost. I moved the jumpspl files to my phone and ran jumpspl 1.93, since 1.53 seems to do nothing. it goes into bootloader, I disconnect usb, reconnect it, and try to run kaisercustomruu so I can flash hardspl 3.29. but when I try to run kaisercustomruu it just shuts down my computer. I don't know whts going on. it seems like im the only one running into this problem. i've spent the past 3 days searching the forums for a solution or reason why kaisercustomruu shuts down my comp and I can't find anything.
when I downloaded mbarvians solace rom there was another update utility that was included in the fil so I ran that. it worked, I clicked all necessary boxes, and the update initialized. but it just stays at 0 percent, and eventually gives me error 262 "update utility error" or something like that.
I tried restarting my comp and even hard reset my device. nothing is working.
im currently running the HTC windows 6.1 rom (the one straight off the site) and have hardspl 3.56.
the reason im trying to go to hardspl 3.29 is because mbarvian and the majority of people on his thread that had succes with his rom are running 3.29.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Well, you can't flash custom ROM's till you HardSPL your Tilt/Kaiser.
I noticed you didn't mention anything about disableling USB Connections in ACtive Sync/WMDC. Did you do that?
Also, kaisercustomruu is generic. Try copying the one from the ROM dl into the HardSPL dl folder. Another suggestion is do a search for flashing hardspl from sd card.
Why not use the sticky and then ask in the relevant thread? "The Sticky"

You will definitely get more help in that thread. But you already have hardspl, so read the part about flashing cmonex's 3.29 from your SD card, that looks like that will solve your problems.

I was going to agree with this, but then I read the flashing guide, and it says flashing from the SD card only works if you're upgrading. From the sounds of it, he doesn't have HardSPL on his phone, otherwise the cooked ROMs would flash.
To the OP, I would try another KaiserCustomRUU.exe. Just copy it from one of the custom ROMs you've downloaded and paste it into the folder you have HardSPL in. Be sure to delete the one that came with HardSPL first. If that doesn't work, maybe you could try a different computer? I don't think you need an ActiveSync connection to flash since JumpSPL puts the phone into flash mode. (Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong.) Just download HardSPL, extract, run JumpSPL, plug your phone in, and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe. It should flash!
I do have hardspl installed its v3.56. I just wanna try 3.29 cos mbarvian and the people on his rom thread that had success with his rom have 3.29 installed.
I read the flashing for noobs sticky and i've been following it verbatim. when I went to try and format my SD card to fat32 it wouldn't let me. I used resco explorer and when I tried to format it it said it wasn't unlocked. that's one thing I failed to ask about in my original post: how do I unlock the SD card?
I used 2 other kaisercustomruu's from other roms and they all forced my comp to shut down. I even ran it on my gf's comp and it shut hers down too.
help!

Take your microsd card and place it into the converter (normal sized sd card). There is a switch on the side. Place the switch in the opposite position of "lock"

It sounds like you do not have kaisercustomruu in a folder, which contains .nbh file. Rather you are probably attempting to run it from your desktop???

Ah, you have to use a SD Card reader on a PC to format it, not through the phone.
each time I ran kaisercustomruu it was in a folder with an nbh file. does it have to be by itself with the nbh file? just kaisercustomruu and the rom file?
oh that's all I have to do? just put it in the SD adapter and flip the switch? does it have to be in a computer for it to work?

No.... there is nothing wrong with your SD card.
Do this:
1. Remove your SD card and your SIM Card. Start your device.
2. Connect your Device to your PC Via ActiveSync. Make sure you are fully connected.
3. Unzip and copy the exe file of attached JumpSPL to your device memory.
4. Run Jump/Soft SPL on your device
5. Wait for the bootloader screen to appear and "USB" to show.
6. Right-click activesync icon on the PC tray, go into connection settings and ensure Allow USB Connections is unchecked
7. Unplug your device from the USB port, wait 5 - 20 seconds, plug it back in.
8. Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe of the desired HardSPL and flash HardSPL3.29
To see if you have successfully flashed the 3.29 HardSPL press the camera and power button and press the soft reset once all at the same time, you will see the four color screen and it should display the SPL version.
Whether your SD card is locked or unlocked has no barrier on flashing SPL on your device, since you need to have it out of the device when you perform the SPL install.
Fat32 sometimes would not allow operation of certain files on your PC. thats why sometimes PPC programs or files would not open on your PC and would give you error msgs. Now some folks tried to create a virtual fat32 folder that could in some instances open or run fat32 programs that are created for mobile devices, but in most cases that would crash your PC OS and shuts it down. Same story with netCF files.
So in essence if you were to follow my instructions above, you will get it done and it should not take longer that two minutes to complete the process.
Again.... DO NOT SHORTCUT THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Good luck

I did do all that. like I said I followed the instructions to a tee, but when I ran the kaisercustomruu that was included with the hardspl file my comp just shut down.
question: if I run jumpspl and then use the htc update utility to flash hardspl, would that work? (the htc update utility is the update utility that worked when I tried to flash the rom but it just sat at 0%)

but in the sticky it says that in order to change to cmonex's 3.29 i'd have to flash via SD card. that's why I was wondering how to format it to fat32. but i'll try to do it again and see if it works this time. thanks for the files
my sandisk 8g micro sdhc won't let me delete files, ad files, or even reformat the card

can't you read? Why are you doing Cmonex? JUST FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS. hardSPL3.29 is same protocol on both CMONEX and POF and whoever tells otherwise is full of BS. Again.... just follow my instructions..

Are you trying to add files to your card by inserting it into your laptop using an adapter?
BTW certain adapters for some reason or another will not allow you to do that after the SD card has been placed and used in a phone.
Can you access the SD card through ActiveSync? If you have installed programs on your SD card and you are trying to delete them from the SD card it would not let you as there is a shared violation in that process. The way to do is that you would need to remove the programs first from your device by using the Remove prompt in your settings page on your phone, then going to your SD card and deleting the program files. If you do it in the reverse order you will run into problems; Remnants of those programs will still reside in your main memory.
The attached is a utility that would help format SD card. DO NOT UNZIP IT. Just create a folder on your PC and save the attached in it, When done, change the file type of the attached file from zip to exe. Then right hand click it and do the extract to the folder you created. Follow the included instructions to format the SD card.

Wait a second..... Do you have your device CID unlocked? In other words, did you unlock your device using one of the methods in the stickies? I am NOt talking about SPL .... Were you able to flash a cooked ROM on your device?

yeah i've tried adding/deleting pics, vids, music, etc... with phone and pc and neither works, up until a couple weeks ago i was moving pics/vids to and from the card with the ppc and the pc with no problems. i have used several different card adapters in case one was bad but no matter what i have done, nothing has worked. i already even tried the file you sent and couldn't get the sdformatter to work either. i haven't installed any aps to the card only save pics and all on there, keep my fav program cabs on there as well.

Sounds to me your 8GB SDHC Card failed if it worked before and isn't anymore. Can you play the music on the card from either your PC or Kaiser?
going crazy
so i've been following asfoor's advice. I ran kaiserunlocker, but none of the steps made any progress. I tried using it to flash spl3.29, but my spl still shows 3.56. I tried flashing the patched radio, but its still the same (1.65.21.18). I downloaded v2.0, so I know I have the most recent version of kaiserunlocker. help! im getting more and more frustrated.

How To Guide - Install CAB's - Flash ROM's - HardSPL - Flash via MicroSD
Welcome!
The world of Windows Mobile is glad to see you! There are millions of things you can do with Windows Mobile, and some of the coolest will be described here! Follow the Table of Contents below, or read through the entire page to learn all you can!

How to Install a Program (CAB File)
How to Flash a Custom ROM (Upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.5)
Learn More about ROM's and Flashing!
USPL Method - Learn More
HardSPL Method - Learn More​​
Flashing Options
If you want to run one of the many Custom ROM's out there, then you will have to learn how to flash first! To learn more about flashing, click here. You have two options:
USPL - Use this method if you plan to only flash occasionally. This is a "temporary" solution, that simply bypasses the CID security for the duration of the flash. This is not the safest method, but is useful for flashing once in a while! Use THIS PAGE to flash with this method.
HardSPL - This is a permanent solution. Use this option if you plan on flashing a lot. It is also the safest, once you are HardSPL. Also, this allows you to flash LZX ROM's, and flash via MicroSD. Click HERE to flash like this (Non-PDF Version)
More Info on ROM's and Flashing
Steps to flash using HardSPL: (PDF Version) (Written by Apreincher, many thanks!!!!!!!!!)
It is a good idea to flash back to stock ROM just to be safe. If you are using a T-Mobile Wing you can download it from T-Mobile or from this guide. If it's a Herald you can download it from this guide.
It is important that your IPL is 4.xxx or Higher. If it is not, do not attempt a HardSPL it WILL brick your phone. You can find out the IPL by going into Bootloader:
While holding the camera button do a soft-reset by pressing the stylus into the reset hole next to the volume slider. Release the reset switch while still holding the camera button. A colored screen will come up listing your IPL and SPL. If next to IPL it says 4.xxx or higher, proceed to step 2.
Reset back into your normal phone OS.
Go to Settings- Connections- USB to PC and check the checkbox on that page.
Install the 3 CABs in this order:
Canon Yang.cab
ASerg Policies.cab
Disable Security.cab
Soft reset the phone.
Download the HardSPL folder, extract it, and place it on the Desktop.
Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe located in the HardSPL folder. Update the ROM using the steps on the screen. The screen will become white, but wait until the phone reboots itself. It could be 10-15 minutes.
Phone should boot back into some strange looking ROM. This is the HardSPL ROM. So far so good.
Check your SPL by going to bootloader again. If it says 4.70.yang, you are good as gold and HardSPLed.
Okay so now how do I flash after I'm in HardSPL?
There are actually two ways to flash while you are HardSPLed. You can use the flash center method or the SD card method. Most LZX and Micro ROM's require you to flash through the SD card method.
Flash Center with HardSPL:
Open the HardSPL folder and remove the .nbh file that is located in there. Replace it with the .nbh file you downloaded with your favorite ROM.
Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
You've installed a custom ROM on HardSPL.
Flash through SD Card with HardSPL:
Unfortunately, sometimes this can be a bit more complicated. Make sure you use an SD card and not an SDHC card.
Your storage card will hopefully be lower than 4 GB, or else it might have trouble locating the file. If your storage card is larger, you can partition it to be smaller. Also, no SDCH cards will work.
You must format that storage card to FAT32.
Now, you download the ROM (and uncompress it if it’s a .7z, .rar, or .zip file).
Place the downloaded and uncompressed ROM file (.NBH) into the root of your storage card. Also, you must rename it HERAIMG.nbh. (Captialized)
Put the SD Card into your phone, and with your phone turned on, hold the camera button down. While holding the camera button, press and release the soft reset button. Keep holding the camera button until a new, white screen appears.
If it displays a white screen with blue text that says Checking SD contents and then Update Image proceed to step the next step.
If it immediately goes into the colored bootloader screen, it appears your phone's bootloader is not finding your SD card. Some SD cards require special formatting for some reason. Plug the SD card into your computer using an SD card reading and right click on Computer and click Manage. Click Disk Management on the right pane. Select the SD card from the list and right click and select Format. Under Allocation Unit Size, select 4096. Format and ignore any errors. Proceed with steps 2-4. If it does not work even with this adjustment, your SD card might be too slow. Or you have a SDHC card which isn't easily recognized by bootloader.
This screen that you’re on will have a white background, with blue letters. It will search for your HERAIMG.nbh file, and once it finds it, it’ll give you 10 seconds to answer yes.
To flash the ROM, when it asks you if you want to flash this, press down on the volume slider. Weird, eh? Just do it.
Now, let it flash for a good 10 minutes.
Success! Press any key. Press down on the volume slider again, and you’re on the color screen now. Hold the power button to turn off the phone, and then turn your phone back on. Welcome to your new ROM!
If you are already HardSPL and something happens and flashing doesn't work and you find that your phone appears to be off and won't turn on. Don't panic. Go into Bootloader and use the Flash Center directions to flash a ROM.
Flash Center with HardSPL:
Download the HardSPL folder and remove the .nbh file that is located in there. Replace it with the .nbh file you downloaded with your favorite ROM.
Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
You've installed a custom ROM on HardSPL.
Flash through SD Card with HardSPL:
Unfortunately, sometimes this can be a bit more complicated. Make sure you use an SD card and not an SDHC card. Also, HardSPL first!
Your storage card will hopefully be lower than 4 GB, or else it might have trouble locating the file. If your storage card is larger, you can partition it to be smaller. Also, no SDCH cards will work. You must be HardSPL first!!

Waitttt. going for the entire first page...If this turns into what Apreincher wrote up over the summer, then we'll need it!!!
I feel so bad that Apreincher never released all of his incredible guide, lol. He wrote everything up, from installing CAB's to HardSPL, and he wrote it well!
Is there even anyone that hasn't HardSPLed yet??? LOL. Maybe one person, out of the 3 of us, hasn't yet?
Anyone believe in 2012 doomsday? Watching the special TV show on it, and it's soooooo gonna happen! Who's gonna be there on friday, to see the movie?!?!?
I'm sure Ivan will be cooking till December 21, 2012, to the last second of the world LOL.
Done!!!! Post your thoughts.
Sticky??
Maybe this should be stickied Ivan???? It'd kind of answer everyone's HardSPL questions, and then getting HardSPL would be a breeze, thanks to Apreincher's clear and percise instructions!

ROFL. Nah, I might eventually move on to another major project or one of my other smaller projects. Although I'm working on a few things for the kitchen right now. I'm almost done writing this installer/updater that automatically checks the server for an updated version of the kitchen compared to the one you have in your PC. (It actually checks the OEM's, the EXT, the SYS/XIP and the main kitchens files separately and only updates the one that changed.)

I can add it to my Super sticky. I'm trying to keep the forum tidy (well... the development forum for now as I haven't had time to look over anything else) so I want to avoid many stickies.
Nix that idea. I have a better idea. You guys can take over:

Need help with flashing ROM from microSD
Hey peeps,
I have been trying to flash my TMo Wing to the Glass ROM, which is the rom I really want to use. I have been trying to flash by microSD. However, even though following the directions to the best of my ability, I have failed. _-_ I only see the 'Searching for card' screen for a second, then surpases to the bootloader screen. I have tried downloading all of Ace's -The Wingster's ROMs for the wing and some of Ivan's as well.
Now my desktop computer died on me recently (damn 8-pin molex connector on my mobo). So my torment has been downloading the .nbh files with my phone. I don't think that downloading by phone would have anything to do with the failure, would it?
I thought it was my microSD card, so I downloaded Flash-Format. I made sure to format my 1 gig card to fat32 with an 8kb cluster.
That didn't work, so I went out and bought another microSD. Formated with the flash-format to fat32 as well. This one is a 256mb.
Now, I was reading in the directions that speed may be an issue. Being that I cant format from the desktop, is it possible to change the speed by using the device itself?
Also I was reading that it is recommended to flash back to the original Tmo Wing ROM. Is this a possible reason that I cannot flash by SD?
I have already HardSPL'd and currently have a HERA1100 ROM WM6.1 Gullum ROM installed.
Thanks for any suggestions,
~Trib
ok iv been flashing for a few months now through flash center and never really had to many issues, well i flashed Big Rom 23081 and have had nothing but trouble, one of them being that i can no longer use activesync.
i went and got one of my smaller sd cards formatted it and put on just stable micro to the root of the sd card, ( did not add any folders) followed the directions of holding down camera button then the soft reset button, well nothing happens at best i get the window that asks me if i wanna turn off my device yes or no and my camera stays on.
is there a roundabout amount of time i hold the camera button before i push the soft reset button, and a amount of time i hold down the camera button before the white screen on.
iv been searching and for the life of me i cant figure out what im doing wrong, the only thing iv read that might make sense is flashing back to the original tmo rom but i cant do that because i cant connect to activesync.
anyone have an idea or suggestion of what to do?
thanks

Now my desktop computer died on me recently (damn 8-pin molex connector on my mobo). So my torment has been downloading the .nbh files with my phone. I don't think that downloading by phone would have anything to do with the failure, would it?
I thought it was my microSD card, so I downloaded Flash-Format. I made sure to format my 1 gig card to fat32 with an 8kb cluster.
That didn't work, so I went out and bought another microSD. Formated with the flash-format to fat32 as well. This one is a 256mb.
Now, I was reading in the directions that speed may be an issue. Being that I cant format from the desktop, is it possible to change the speed by using the device itself?
Also I was reading that it is recommended to flash back to the original Tmo Wing ROM. Is this a possible reason that I cannot flash by SD?
I have already HardSPL'd and currently have a HERA1100 ROM WM6.1 Gullum ROM installed.
Thanks for any suggestions,

Confirm the following:
You renamed the downloaded file "HERAIMG.nbh"
You extracted the .NBH file, if necessary. Some ROM's come compressed in .RAR or .7z format. You can use 7Zip to extract those.
You do NOT have a SDHC card? SDHC cards won't work.
It should work. Hopefully you can get something going.

ok iv been flashing for a few months now through flash center and never really had to many issues, well i flashed Big Rom 23081 and have had nothing but trouble, one of them being that i can no longer use activesync.
i went and got one of my smaller sd cards formatted it and put on just stable micro to the root of the sd card, ( did not add any folders) followed the directions of holding down camera button then the soft reset button, well nothing happens at best i get the window that asks me if i wanna turn off my device yes or no and my camera stays on.
is there a roundabout amount of time i hold the camera button before i push the soft reset button, and a amount of time i hold down the camera button before the white screen on.
iv been searching and for the life of me i cant figure out what im doing wrong, the only thing iv read that might make sense is flashing back to the original tmo rom but i cant do that because i cant connect to activesync.
anyone have an idea or suggestion of what to do?
thanks

You hold down the Camera button, and while you CONTINUE to hold down the Camera button, you press and RELEASE the Soft Reset button. Then, continue to hold the Camera button down until the bootloader appears.
Flashing back to stock wouldn't do ****!

Yes. I have made sure that my card is not a high capacity card.
The file is HERAIMG.nbh on my card (not in any folders).
And its not archived. I think it might be because I do not have the original ROM installed. Can someone link me to the original ROM that Tmo uses on the Wing?
Thanks again,

Nah, that doesn't make a difference if you have the stock ROM. Anyways, flashing the stock ROM will remove your HardSPL, soo, you would have to re-do your HardSPL!
I really don't know why it's not working, honestly.
I couldn't take it anymore so I went to my girl's mom's house and just flashed the ROM by Active Sync. I wish I could have been able to flash by sd. Sorry to get off topic, but does anyone else think that it is as agonizing as hell to use the new IExplorer? It loads so slow and takes a lot of time to render when zooming.
Also, what program do I use to have the same on screen keyboard as I did with M2D TouchFLO?
I really have gotten used to that layout.
And lastly, I don't understand for the life of me why the only browser that I use out of IE, Opera Mobile 9.7, Opera Mini 5 Beta and SkyFire, SkyFire is the only browser that is usable. The only one that can utilize the flash player. So what do you guys think,

Treo 750 Bricked or Not?

So I got in this situation by running step 1 of the cheetahunlocker with a CHEETAH.grh file on the SD card. Everything worked (I got OK) on everything but the "OS" flash never finished, just stayed on 90% progress and never moved.
Yes I didn't do a hard SPL, I was trying, but for some reason to hardspl process grabbed a ROM off my SD card and ran with it.
From the various searches I have found that I should get a stock ROM, reflash with this.
I do not have a "Stock ROM" and cannot find one anywhere. Also how would I even flash this ROM if I had it? I would assume I would drop this ROM on the SD card (FAT 32, and rename properly) but where do I find the elusive stock ROM?
I cannot use active sync or anything, my phone with only boot into the bootloader (red/blue/green)
I have an SIM unlocked 750:
- On reset with no SD my phone hangs on the Palm OS progress bar
- On reset + PTT with no SD I get:
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000
- I've tried the cheetachunlocker, step 1, says my image file is corrupted at 7% progress.
- I've tried the athena_unlocker.exe with cheetachunlcoker.exe method, no dice.
- I've tried various ROMs on the SD and none of them seem to go anywhere.
If the answer is "Use your backup ROM", I don't have one. If the answer is "find a stock ROM", where????
I do have another 750 I could "backup" and then use this backup to flash my bricked 750... but how to backup the good one? How to use this backed up ROM to flash the bricked one?
Thanks in advance!!

Stock ROM would be the ROM that was officially shipped with the device, either a carrier branded version or Palm's own version.
Since you said your device was unlocked, it could be one of two possibility:
1. You unlocked it by asking the carrier to provide you with an network unlock code or by purchasing a network unlock code from a 3rd party vendor.
2. Your phone was purchased without a contract tied to a carrier so it was a Palm branded unlocked Treo 750.
Which is it?
This will determine which stock ROM you should run.
And ALL stock ROMs are floating around here or some other forum somewhere...
[Update]
Here's a link to download the 2.23 ROW ROM for the Treo 750: http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar
ROW=Rest of the World; Official Palm ROM
Great thanks for that, now how to use this file correctly, now that I screwed this up the first time. I can't use active sync, can only get to the Bootloader Red/Blue/Green screen.
Should I extract the cheetah.rgh to SD and do a reset? I don't think that has been working for me but will try again with this different ROM
Thanks!!
Stuck
So I downloaded the ROW firmware from above, copied to MicroSD and did the old reset+PTT button.
The screen flashes with "Loading..." for a moment and I'm back to
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000
What next? Thanks!
SOLVED!!!!
Hey I might have a solution here:
When you format the Mini SD card, do NOT do a quick format. Uncheck that box and do a full format, FAT32, Default Allocation Size.
This took over 15 minutes for me.
Do a scandisk (Right click the drive/tools/scandisk) and check "Fix Errors". This should ensure your SD card is in good shape.
Now copy a good ROM to the card and reset+PTT. The Palm should flash successfully now. If not your ROM may be corrupted.
Hope this helps! It worked for me!

Glad that your phone is up & running.
Those who brick their Treo 750 should be able to follow the procedures mentioned here & other related thread to recover their devices as long as the bootloader screen is able to display.

[Q] Trying to root my Inspire 4g

I am asking this again here, as my previous thread seemed to be hijacked by someone elses question!
I recently decided to root my inspire as i am no longer using it as a phone, so i thought that it would be interesting to do and fun to play around with all of the options available (i recently did the same thing on my Nook Tablet, and that was the single best decision i have made a while!). I started out researching the manual techniques to do it, but i didn't really like the high risk factor there (i really dont want to brick my phone) so i tried Ace Hack Kit. Of course, it has to download the phone from 2.3.5 to be able to work. During this process, it has me hold volume up and power twice, and every time i do that, it flashes up really quick something about holding volume up and volume down and power, but then it skips past that. Anyway, here is where my problem comes in: It says that it should reboot in to hboot, which it does, but that hboot should run a test, then prompt me to continue by pressing volume up, and then should reboot, flashing twice, and that should be the end of it. THe problem is, it does boot in to hboot, but it is just a standard hboot screen asking to recover, load bootloader, etc. When i reboot from there it just boots in to the phone as normal. I have tried 3 different SD cards, all of which work and are recognized by my PC, my other phone and my Nook tablet. I have also inserted a working sim card, just to be sure that wasnt the issue, and i still cant make it work. Does anyone have any experience with his issue, or any idea what i might be doing wrong?
Opening multiple threads on the same issue is frowned upon. Even if someone supposedly hijacked your thread. I read it and only 7 posts ,I'd call that far from hijacked.
Now at the issue on hand. As mentioned in the other thread. Its the SD card. Also their is a hack kit irc go there. Plus pasting the output would help aswell

OK, as i have stated, i have tried a new SD card (2, actually, with the same results.) as far as an output screen, there is none. Ace Hack Kit goes through the whole downgrade process, my phone gets in to hboot, but it is just a standard hboot screen, and it doesn't downgrade. When my phone restarts, it restarts like i just did a factory reset.
There is an output,copy what ever it says. There probably is something you missed
As too the SD card ,try adifferent one again. Your SD cards are corrupt and you need to find one that works with the kit
Also since your on a sense 3.0 did you do the changing of the boot img before running the kit?

by changing the of the boot img do you mean downgrading it? That is what i am trying to do. The kit is supposed to do it automatically. If that is not what you mean, please explain!
As to the output, copy thing, no, there is none of that. I have followed the instructions about 20 times. After starting the downgrade process, the phone restarts and comes up with a red triangle. At that point i am supposed to hold volume up and power, and it goes and reboots and i do the same thing again. At this point, i am told that the phone will boot into hboot and check the boot image. When it is done, i am supposed to hit volume up to confirm, and then the phone will reboot, this time in to the down graded image. That is where my problem comes in. Instead of checking the boot image, it just goes to a standard hboot screen. There are no error messages or warnings, and i have followed the instructions to the letter.
As far as the cards are concerned, the maker of the kit suggested a 2 or 4gb Sandisk series 4 or 6 SDHC card, so i bought 2 of the series 6 4gb, along with the 2 others that i already have. I also have 2 series 4 4gb and 2 series 4 2gb Sandisk cards, as well as an 8gb and 2 4gb PNY cards. All of the cards recognize in my phone and PC, and the older cards also recognize in my Nook (and were used to root and load custom roms on several other devices), i have not loaded the new cards in to any other devices besides my laptop and the phone for fear of corrupting it. So i find it difficult to believe that the cards could be the problem.
I know what the kit says. What I'm saying is In the command prompt it spits out a lot of info. For example it will say stuff about zergrush and or taco root. THATS the important stuff, this is what is used to allow the downgrade to be possible. If their a failure in the process it would state it there. That's why I keep asking for it. Don't understand your reluctance to do a simple copy and paste
The changing of the boot img is something that is different and you should read about it on attn1 site. Version 3.20 has a slightly different method

I appreciate the attempt to help (the reason why i didn't post a direct copy paste was simply as i was in no position at the time to take one, not any reluctance to ultimately do so...) In my recent attempt to provide you with a full copy paste of the process, i was able to figure out what i was doing wrong. For anyone who may have the same or similar issue: format the SD card while it is in the phone from your PC right before starting the process. Thats all it took. Even for a card that was brand new and untouched, or formatted before putting it in the phone, i couldn't get it to work, but it worked doing it that way, and i am now happily rooted and ready to install CM9!
Glad you got it figured out. Formatting the SD card in the phone is a must, since the phone puts important files on the card after formatting.

Wrong. There's no need to format the sdcard to run the Hack Kit, unless your sdcard is not in fat32 system file format. The only requirement is that your sdcard must not be corrupted to work as a goldcard. Corruption of the boot partition of the sdcard can not be solved by formatting and is produced by improper dismount of it.

I'm just speaking from experience. Every SD card I've put in my phone I had to format in the phone because it was giving me problems. After, no problems. Maybe it's just my phone. or the cards weren't FAT32.
You're last sentence is probably where most people screw it up. You can't just yank an SD card out of whatever device it's in, which I think a lot of people do. But I have fixed cards that were removed without unmounting by formatting. Maybe other parts were corrupt but not the boot partition?

As far as I am concerned the boot partition can not be restored by formatting. SDCARD should always be dismounted properly.

Huawei Mate 8 - System deleted

Hello,
Bevore I start: Please excuse the bad english.
A while ago I rooted my Huawei Mate 8 (Android 7, Emui 5) and installed root.
After a few months I tried to factory reset the phone. But instead of factory resetting I deleted the complete system.
After this I tried to recover the system (twrp) but I didn't manage it. Then i tried to recover via Huawei and it said that I unlocked the bootloader/installed root and they can't recover.
After that I was so "smart". I uninstalled root and relocked the bootloader.
Do I have any chance to recocover the system or do I have to throw it away?
Thank you in advance:

Hi there, do you know which brand is your device? Is it Chinese version, or international version? Trust me, my device was bricked multiple times, and I was always able to recover it.

Hi,
I have the international version of the mate 8. (NXT-L29C432B582; FRP Lock; Bootloader relocked)
Thank you for dealing with my problem.
Got almost same problem. I've got C432B581 version.
I got nothing but TWRP now.
Can you tell me how to install clean system version step by step?
All right, both of you can use the below method, if done correctly, you should be up and running in a short time.
Read, and follow the instructions carefully. The operation consists in downgrading and rolling back your OS to Android 6. Do not worry, once rolled back to 6, your device will still get prompts to update and you can upgrade to Nougat if you want.
First thing first: open this pdf link which includes the instructions: https://bit.ly/2KYAEhS
Second: download the rolling pkg NXT-L29_from Android 7.0_EMUI 5.0_to Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C900B500: https://bit.ly/2GUtI2X
Third: Download NXT-L29C432B192 version here: https://bit.ly/2JcxJ8a
Now, I am sure you are unable to mount and access the Micro SD card by plugging the phone on your computer. So your alternative would be either to mount the SD card directly in your computer if your computer has a Micro SD slot, or use another cell phone that can be mounted, insert the micro SD card in order to transfer the first file.
Mount the Micro SD card and look in the rood of the SD card for ''dload'' folder without quotes, if you are unable to find the folder, simply create one
The 2 files are in zip format so you have to unzip them. Start with the first file, the rolling pkg. Extract ''update. app'' to your computer first and then move it under the ''dload'' folder in your Micro SD card.
Now the fun part can start and hopefully your phone will revive from the dead
With the phone powered off Press and hold simultaneously the power button, and volume up and down buttons, this will force the phone to enter in update mode. You can let go off the buttons once the update start.
These instructions and a couple of other ones are in pdf file. Read and follow carefully and you should be good to go.
Good luck!

Guys, once you install the rollback package, you still have to move the ''update.app'' file you extracted from the second file, put it into the ''dload'' folder and perform a force update again
