Upgrade without USB-connection

Hei all.
After reading through the forums hour after hour I finally give up
I got my german O2 XDA Mini s here
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.21
GSM 02.19.11
OS 2.21.4.2
I want to up/downgrade to the Qtek 2.18 NOR ROM. But the big Problem is that if I connect to PDA to my laptop via USB it is not recognized?! Also on a other laptop it didn't work, although it worked earlier. Even a hard reset couldn't help it.
Second thin I read is that Wizards with SPL/IPL 2.21 or higher can't be flashed with a other ROM then a Provider update.
But now I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043 were it is made possible. I made my new ROM image. Now I only need to bring it on my miniSD Card und make the XDA load it from there. And that's my problem. How do I make a "bootable" SD Card und make the XDA a boot from there? I only found I manual for the Magician....
Would be great if someone could help me!!!

Good morning
New Day, new chance. Anybody with an idea?

press and hold down the Camera button then jab the Reset hole will bring the device into Bootloader mode, connect to your Laptop and have a try.
for reflash from a SD card containing rom image, press and hold down the Camera and VoiceDial key simultaneously, jab once the Reset hole, then, release the Camera key FIRST, keep VoiceDial pressed until sth like below showing on the PPC screen:

[FONT=宋体]this procedure is worked for my qtek9100, although both qtek9100 and o2xdaminis are both "Wizard", i have no idea whether it should work, just give a try and god bless.[/FONT]

what files need to be on the SD card? Do they need to named something special for the wizard?

there's no "files" on the SD card, i said, it's only "rom-image".

Thanks Huang!
I'm nearly there
No the only problem left is to prepare the bootable SD-Card. If wanted to use the XDAtools http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=219261&page=7&highlight=create+rom+image
If I didn't missunderstand it, this should solve my problem. But when I give my nk.nbf made in the first thread as a input file the XDA OS Image Tool tells me that it is an unsupported file format and it doesn't know how to open it
I just unpacked the Tools and registered them. Is there anything mor I have to do to make me a SD-image?

Ok, nex step. When I go into the Bootloader, i get an USB connection. Hell knows we not in normal mode :-/
But this forum is just too big I couldn't find a way to get a new ROM to my Wizard in this way...

From here you can run the Rom Update Utility on your PC and it will flash your device.

Ok, that easy? But it doesn't work :-(
I get the connection, tested it with a terminal, it is realy connected.
- When I use the RUU from risidoro (see my first post up here) I get ERROR [300] STRUMENTO DI AGGIORNAMENTO NON VALIDO. I'd guess that means something me device is not valid???
- If I want to flash with RUU_Prodigy_2180704_21807104_20710_QTEK_NOR_Ship.exe it also connects and all that stuff, but then it told me my nbf file is too old. (I got SPL/IPL 2.21 ) ERROR [296]
- If I extract this RUU manually and replace the nbf with the one handmade, and start ROMUpdateUtility.exe I get ERROR [238], can't open the file.

Search for this file 'ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe'
It will think that your phone has Rom version 1.2 on it and thus will allow you to flash any Rom image.

yeah, thats what I tried first and got ERROR [300] and this Italian Error message

I would be very interested in this since my USB connector broke. Hope you find the answer for this. Anyways, I was able to do an upgrade of OS and downgrade it using awizard via BT connection in my CID locked phone.

How did you do that?? Because if I try to update via Bluetooth I always get Errors :-/

BT update
Well, actually I did a backup of everything using Awizard (via USB when my connector was working) and then I updated just the OS using some tools. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088&start=0. Then I rename the extension to nba so awizard can read it and then used awizard to update only the OS. This was all with USB cable. Then my toddler got a hold of my phone while charging and broke the USB connector.
Got sick of the 3.2 rom then took the risk of downgrading to my old OS via awizard using BLUETOOTH. It took some time to update and have to make sure my phone don't turn off during update. Anyways, now I have the 2.26 OS back.

Upgrading using a SD card

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade my Qtek 9100 without using an USB cable but a SD card. The reason is that my mini USB connection on the Qtek is broken. So I can't connect the Qtek with my computer.
If it is possible to upgrade with a SD card can anybody tell me how.

I havn't heard of doing it this way in a while. My old T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition. "Space Needle" used to be flashed this way. You would load the Rom onto the SD card and use some type of key combination at boot to load the rom... I'm not sure that it exists with this rom and hardware...

can be done, I do it on my spare wizard that also as a broken usb socket, however you must first have a memorycard with a rom image first.

To restore from an SD image, your wizard has to be CID unlocked first or else it won't update.

I have CID unlocked my phone so that's no problem. But how do I upgrade with a SDcard and how to make an image on a SD card.
Who can help.

put your phone in bootloader mode (make sure you have minisd in the slot)...disable activesync on your computer by stopping wcecomm process...then plug in the phone (while it's in bootloader)..then run romupdate_115.exe (look for it in the xda ftp). Then choose the usb connection (I think it's wcusb or something)..press enter..cmd> should appear...then type r2sd all (this will backup everything in the phone to the minisdwhen it completes).
Then when you put it in the phone you want to upgrade..put that minisd in the phone you want to upgrade and put that phone in bootloader. It will ask you if you want to update and press the voice command button to upgrade. Goodluck!

Can I make an image of a romupdate availiable in the xda ftp on a SDcard and upgrade my phone without connecting it to the computer.

If needed, PM Me and you can send me a MiniSD card to load a rom onto for you. and I'll ship it back. Let me know which rom you want loaded, and I will do it for you.

Actually somebody with an CID unlocked wizard can create an SD image and then upload it to the website for you to upload and use but it will definitely wipe out the data on their SD.

I'm in the same boat. My miniUSB port fell in. I need to get the t-mobile ROM back onto the phone so I have a chance of repair. If anyone could upload a ROM onto the forum that will let me update using a miniSD card I’d be very grateful.
At least I’m not the only one who's USB port has broke!

I have teh stock tmo ROM on a 128 MB miniSD. Doubt that would help, but if someone needs it...just tell me how to get the image off and I'll post it.

Assuming /dev/sda is the device pointing to your SD card reader, and /tmp/sd.img is the sd card image file, in Linux you can extract it with this command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/sd.img
And you can write it back on another SD card with this command:
Code:
dd if=/tmp/sd.img of=/dev/sda
in Windows you can use psdread.exe and psdwrite.exe, see the wiki for instructions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils/psdread.exe
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils/psdwrite.exe

If anyone makes an Original SD ROM of tmobile...Please upload it at ftp. It would help lots of people here in the forum..

My file isn't from teh FTP, its from my phone. I made a b/u before I installed X's rom on day 3 of my MDA ownership. Like I said, I think there's a way to pull the image off the card, but I'm not going to spend my time looking. If some one wants to find me instructions as well as links to programs needed, I'd be glad to post the image.

260 Error when flashing

I have just bought a P3600 and trying to upgrade to WM6. Been following the various instructions all evening but cant get any further than the same point regardless of which rom I try.
My phone connects up via USB and is detected etc, I click through the screens on the RUU, and then run it. Prompt appears on the phone to run enterbotloader.exe, click yes, and then it goes to bootloader screen, where it doesnt do anything after that. I try rerunning the RUU whilst its still attached at bootloader, and makes no difference. It just sits there on bootloader screen and program on windows comes up with a 260 error.
Any suggestions please as to how to get it to go further?1 Windows XP 64 by the way.

Just update your HTC driver in device manager, that's all.

Hmm than is the Problem your Window XP 64 Bit system!
Do the upgrade at windows XP 32 Bit version.

I think I'll try and do it via SD card, probably easiest way! Just have to wait for SD card to be delivered :S

I agree. I found the SD card is the easiest way but could not get it to work without using the SSDL posted here on the forum.
This the info is taken form this forum and can not remember who posted it "Thanks any way"
The only thing did not work in my case was the rebooting using the reset button "Ihad HSPL installed". The only way to get it working was by running the SSPL application after setting the SD card as below.
Good luck
Extract the .NBH file from your preferred ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract
the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract
(http://www.cabextract.org.uk/) .
Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side
and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power
button.
Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about
30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
Make sure your SD has FAT32 and has no label. There have been reports that if SD has a label the
bootloader can not access the TRINIMG.nbh

Well, i couldn't extract the nbh file from the roms I had, but evenutally found one which extracted to an nbh file. Put it on the SD card, and it worked! Also updated radio using same method so got GPS working as well
If anyone knows of a more up-to-date ROM which an nbh file can be extracted from (or any NBH files available for download!) I would greatly appreciate it as this current rom seems slightly unstable (has frozen a couple of times already).
Rom Version 2.0.1.1
ROM Date: 03/07/07
Radio Version: 1.56.70.11
Protocol version 32.89.7020.20H

Unbrick Trinity From SD

Need a favours over here. Recently, i bricked my trinity. P3600 more precisely Dopod D810 (i flashed wrong ROM -> Unpacking cooked rom for trinity but i merge it with -Hermes cmd in NBMerge! houh... so stupid! ). Soo... just not what i expected, Rom flashing stop on half, SR my trin and tada.... 3Color screen bootloader popup! haaarggg, i try flashing another rom using any rom that has same CID *official or cooked rom* (some are 100% thru, but someother not) but like usual it won't start the windows (just blank/black screen with green led[ always on!) Never been like this before! Have been flashing several times using any cooked rom by great chef on trinity but this time! :doh: damn it! my bad.
i found solution on the forum *Unbricking Trinity Stuck on Bootloader* but since my usb port can't be detected on my vista/xp machine, whether i disable AS and changed my usb cable it doesnt work at all, on mtty too! so i can't use that utility. i try run install sspl olipro 1.3 but it never changed my spl at all. now i can't use my trin at all cuz allready dead.
btw this is the info on trin 3color screen bootloader:
IPL 1.00
SPL 3.20 OLIPRO
anysolution for bringing back my trinity from the death? maybe a tools/utility to unbrick trinity from SD or something like that, which not involved any pc connection, without bring this devices to htc center of course.
I hope any expertise on this forum would helped me sort out this probs.
Sorry for my english and thanks for reading my post.

Read this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308691 download splxploit-windows.zip (935.1 KB, 7619 views) put phone in bootloader run splxploit when bootloader change
After this download full rom here is link:http://rapidshare.com/files/21174752/RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.exe
Then flash full rom bat do not disconnect usb cable in any step.
Before use any step disable active sync.

Usb are dead
Gsmhacks thanks for ure reply. I have tried that one, and lot read ing on wiki. But since i cant use the usb i cant use that splexploit whether on live linuxcd, or .Net version even win version. The usb port cant be opened . I think i broke the usb pin. From the beginning everytime i flashed my trin i never used ruu utility, i always do the sd card method and that is the best and easiest method and it works for me.
I just curious perhaps can anyone or is there any utility to unbrick trin via sd card. I knew a lot a people has bring their trinity life from dead by using htc stackflow splexploit. I hope that was work for me too! Too bad my usb are dead. Damn!

Here what you need bat only work if you have hard spl
If you install hard spl before brick trinity you can use SD CARD to flash trinity. YOu need to formate sd card to FAT32 with Card Reader donwload full rom here is link: http://rapidshare.com/files/21174752/RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.exe
then extract and file RUU_Signed.nbh rename to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
Here is full instruction again also first format sd card to FAT32 !!!! VERY IMORTANT to format sd card to FAT32 or all other step will not work THEN:
1. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract (or you can also use winrar via wine).
2. Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
3. With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
4. You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
5. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
6. When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
and you will flash and unbrick trinity bat this only work if you install before this hard spl i mean cid unlock trinity. if not you must fix usb port.

That will work? I hope so
Ok then i'll try flashing using that rom. Oo, i have install hardspl btw and so far flashing using sdcard method no probs. But after i bricked my trin flashing doesnt smooth like be4. Always gave me error 0018003 update fail on the halfway, i guess because i have bad nand on trin and probably cuz cooked rom.
Can u give me another link, perhaps on xda ftp. rapids so slow 4 me. Btw i have download dopodasiawwe official rom on xda ftp *twice but still when i tried to run the package it gave me corrupt archive integrity fail w!f.
Thanks gsmhackerns, i downloading the package now!

Perhaps you can find a way to make a goldcard for Trinity?
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437996

That's what i looking for! Thanks.
Humm, superb. Yay, great! Thank you stepw. Even its for elf with a little mod i hope this will work. Once again thank you.
Stepw, i have tried making the gold card, everything went ok. I have temp. cid *supercid* but the probs now is i can't download http://rapidshare.com/files/21174752/RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.execan someone uploaded to somewhere else. Rapidshare crap! perhaps on xda ftp.
thanks!

goldcard cannot help in such a situation.
I can however make an SSPL that loads off SD card - just like for kaiser you will be able to use it because you are already on hardspl.
then that will allow you to flash stock SPL.
PM me and send your MSN address, so we can test it out. if it works i'll post it in this thread too in case others get stuck also

Indeed. Youre right cmonex, it doesnt make any difference at all 4 my trin. After several tried using and making goldcard 4 trin, finally i made working goldcard4trin, but gosh it still stuck when i tried to update the os (update os fail) humm anyone.

Sorry for wasting your time with Goldcard, I have overlooked that you have a hard spl on your Trinity. In this case goldcard doesn't make a lot of difference.
And there's no trindiag.nb to the best of my knowledge that could be used instead of SSPL cmonex is suggesting to run from SD.
Back to the topic, sounds like you have some "bad" blocks in flash and OS can't be flashed. Bad blocks can be reset with "task 2a" command, see this thread for more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330496
The question is how to run it without USB and I don't have an answer for you
Some people have previously mentioned they managed to flash smaller OS images when larger images failed, perhaps if you try flashing some minimal vanilla ROM, it will succeed?

Bad NAND, Yup!
Ya... as i mention before yup i do have bad nand block on my devices. Using manila rom with smaller img size the flash went 'OK'. But it doesn't boot at all infact just black screen with green led on.
Okay the only solution probably use mtty and do task 2a if i'm not mistaken. But like you said "The problem is the USB port". I think the port is ok cuz i already tested it connecting my usb to my trin without inserting the battery and the red led *magenta* is on. humm, weird!
But if something can make it working without involving any pc connection it would be a great achievement. hahah! well i supposed i have to put my trin on bunker before someone can make it happens
I asked SEA in my country and they recommend me to changed the machine it self and they charge me around US $160 ho...ho.. too "wideeeeee" for college boy like me

Same problem, i flashed the rom
RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship
and after that i tried to flash a new radio!
power+cam and the cell phone did not show usb, then i used sspl to rum the radio but it locked at 0%
after that it is stucked at bootloader screen
ipl 1.0
spl 3.20 .....
but no usb and no sd card !!
did i lost the cell phone?
there is no jtag ou something like that ?

so now... you still want this SSPL? i'm thinking of patching one up to automatically run task 2a maybe. or just restore stock spl for warranty service if that's what you have in mind. but you didn't really reply to that offer?

Please if you could build a sspl for this condition it would be enough because once sspl i can run a new ruu with hard-spl again ! the problem i believe was caused becaus this original rom's have a spl.nb inside , in the screen we read teh information about the olipro spl but i thing teh original spl.nb messed up the hard spl!
There is another problem, i formated to fat32 my card and put a TRINIMG.nbh of a rom inside and he did nothing!! same card in elf with ELFIMG.nbh of a rom runs great!!
It means that this spl of mine will not flash from card? goldcar would help?
and cant i flash something in serial ? like a jtag or something?
Anyhelp will be more than apreciated!
sorry the bad english

Needed!
Cmonex, sorry for longtime haven't seeing this thread again. okay i really need your help btw if you willing to help me. The spl your talking about perhaps can sort out the probs (i hope) at least we tried. as for task2a cmd to clear the bad nand block is none usefull for me since usb conn. are definitely drop dead.
how about patch the SSPL to do task2a cmd to solve the bad NAND block first.

no usb, no sd, no chance sorry. jtag it or get it serviced or get another phone.
as for jtag, hermes jtag has been worked out by scholbert. trinity is probably the same, but you will have to find the pins. the rest of the process will be the same.

Dear all,
I can't go to bootloader screen ..fff before I had on my trinity faman 4.03 rom and I would change with the NiAX rom... after 3% restart and I think that my phone brick and my phone stay on htc screen fff please help
I have windows vista and even if i follow all steps pfff it changes nothing...after hard reset ...fff please help ...
I think my trinity is out :-(????????????????????????
Please help,

The O.S is more important to these operations than can be stressed - for a 99% safe flash Win XP is your best bet , I have had nothing but error 260,270 halfway flashed roms and usb faults running on vista and since I had my original bricking episode - NOTHING , I repeat NOTHING including genuine roms has flashed without a recovery or at least without doing something strange in the process - SPLXPLOIT has been a saviour here , without it I would've been lost.
Cant the O.P simply use another machine to test out the USB theory ?

ALIVE AGAINnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!
My p3600 was stucked att bootloader, and wont give "usb" and do not read TINIMG.NBH (tried on elf with ELFIMG.nbh and the card was great)!
I did a golcard with the post on elf about it and the cell with the gold card inside was the same, no trinimg.nbh and no usb.............
BUT..............
with the goldcard inside, turned OFF, i placed it on the usb cable off the pc and the device booted to the bootloader screen, but this time he got "USB" , before flashing anything i removed the card , and putted switched off in the usb, booted with "serial" with card and pressing power and then placing usb still "serial" message!
I putted the card, did not switched on , placed on the usb and waited for it to boot for it self , and for my surprise "usb".
Flashed stock rom, and it booted nice!!!
Please try!
saved my day!

Is it bricked? (Upgrade ROM error)

(I'm not 100% sure this is the correct forum, but since it is very ROM related it didn't feel all wrong to put it in here...)
Hi guys. After som serious flashing of cooked ROMs I decided for some unknown reason that I should try to restore a stock ROM. Now, being very tired as I was, i completely forgott that its probably a good idea to flash a new Stock ROM on the unit BEFORE flashing it with a signed SPL....so I just flashed the Signed SPL to the device. That in it self seem to have gone ok, because when I start the unit it say "SPL-1.15.0000". Problem is though that it also says "Upgrade ROM error, please try again"
Now, what should I do? Have tried put both signed and unsigned SPLs on the storage card and started up via the volume down/pwr button thingy, but that does not seem to do anything. I have also tried to attach the unit to a USB port when in tricolor mode ("USB" shows up on the screen) and tried the CustomRUU program. It finds the device and starts to "upgrade" (grey screen on the device with 0%) but then it just doesnt seem to get any further...
As the device was working fine with a custom ROM before I started all this, I suspect that the main problem proably is that I now have a Standard SPL with a cooked ROM, and that they collide sort of. I, as well as the Blackstone, is now stuck and I am all out of ideas what to do? Have also tried Hard and Soft resets, but that doesnt seem to change anything.
Help!

try removing the SD Card and put the phone into bootloader mode and re-flash the stock ROM! if this doesn't work ... still with the SD Card removed try flashing to USPL and flash the stock ROM again!
hope this helps

You can try USPL on your HD and flash a custom or stock ROM with it.

Thanks for the feedback!
Just be be sure, "into bootloader mode" is when you start the device holding down volume down and powerkey until you see the tricolor screen? Then that is probably what I have tried to do for a while now without success (total success that is, I do get into the tricolored screen)). Or maybe I am doing something wrong, could you perhaps point to a detailed explaination besides the one in "HardSPL" thread?
USPL I havnt tried, will do that! Is it still so that trying to do USPL on Vista is asking for trouble?
I read somewhere that Stock ROMs should only be flashed from internal storage, not SD cards, is that true? If so, how do I go about accessing that storage now when it doesnt show up in the file explorer on my PC (PC recognizes it as USB device, "HTC Sync" but I get no file access to it).

bootloader mode is when you power off the device and hold the volume button down and press power till you get the tricolor screen...
so here is what you need to do .
1. remove the sd card
2. go into the tricolor mode connect your device to the pc and make sure it says (USB) at the bottom
3. run the stock shipped exe from you pc
if that didn't work then you should try the USPL version.. and there is a guide if you are using vista.. i just tried and worked fine.. here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3331078&postcount=153
and the reason i'm asking you to remove the sd card because if you have a rom (blacimg.nbh) it won't let you do anything it will try to flash from the sd card and right now you don't want to do that.
and you shouldn't put any rom into the internal storage of the phone..

What happens if you do that? will it try and flash over the flash? Proper *&@! it up?

i don't think anything would happen... the file will get deleted when you flash as the rest of the files in the internal memory

Thank you everyone! The USPL thing solved it, when I did it from a XP machine! The once bricked Blackstone is not alive an kicking again!
About USPL, I saw the workaround for Vista, but downgrading a few components to make it work just doesn't seem like a safe way to do it. And I cant help but to think that it might have unwanted side affects, ie affecting system stability. But maybe I am wrong?

Going back to shipped ROM without bricking?
Hi,
After reading this thread I am now a bit worried and, as a newbie, would appreciate maybe a "simple" answer to my question.
I''ve been experimenting with various cooked ROMs after following the guide in the WIKI for installing HardSPL and then putting the ROM file (BLACKIMG.nbh) on my SD card and installing it using the power on + volume down button method.
However, I now want to revert back to the original "shipped" ROM, which I have downloaded from the list of shipped ROMs via the WIKI (I downloaded the one which closely matched what was originally on my HD - as I didn't know how to backup the actual ROM on my HD at the time).
So, my question:
How should I put the downloaded original/shipped ROM:
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
into my HD without bricking it?! Do I just run it on my PC with ActiveSync enabled or do I need to do something to remove the HardSPL or something first?
Sorry if this has been answered previously but I get confused when a thread just makes loads of references to SPLthis and SPLthat etc.!

if you have the HardSPL already installed on your phone then you don't need to do anything more.. just connect your phone to the pc and let it sync (activesync enabled) and flash to any shipped rom you want by simply running the exe file..
