CRASH after updating Rom 1.32 to 1.34 !! :(:(

Hello everybody, my name is sebastien and i come from belgium.
I have a problem with my mteor mobile phone. I was one version 1.32 and i tried like everybody to upgrade it on 1.34. Now the phone doesnt work anymore (freezing on the startup screen).
The bootloader is working (power + cam button), but i have different versions of rom upgrade utility on my computer. Only one version works (v3.12.3.0, properties of ROMUpgradeUt.exe). This version of upgrade rom utility came with the 1.34 rom.
The others one give me an 260 Error : Update Error. (crash on "verifying information on your smartphone, please wait").
So i tried the working Upgraderom Utility with all the roms i have (1.13, 1.32 and 1.34) and i have always the same error after 1% updating : 294 invalid vender ID.
I tried to put the firmware on the root of my microSD card (rename BREEIMG.nbh). The bootlaoader checks the firmware ("checking") and then it says "00028002" "Not allow" and then it goes back to the bootloader. I tried this method with the three firmware i've got.
Could you help me please !! Thank you very very much. Sebastien.

Hi
I have a same problem

Hi lacenko!
just put your mteor in bootloader mode
connecto to pc (disable activesync usb connection)
and start the mtty (usb console program) -> infos about in wiki!!
now just use the info command and look what cid you have!!!
after you know that search/ask provider for an update !!!
only this can help!!
after you have the original shipped rom, please upload it to rapidshare and we can link it...
when you have flashed you can reflash with a other newer better rom!!
but theres no way now until you become a rom that matches your cid to flash the phone to working state!

Which WM6 has phone support ?

Hi,
I have the SPV M1000 (Himalaya), and phone used to work, then died. Texting worked, but phone didn't. So i used the Orange supported software, but it downgraded it to Win Mobile 2003. Although the phone did work, i prefer WM6 for the rotate screen feature etc.
Anyway, i downloaded a few WM6 roms, but of the 3 i tried, none of them allowed me to use the phone bit of the M1000.
Which WM6 rom should i download to get the phone working okay with my Himalaya ?
I tried C_ShekharAKU7.0c.R40.P24_public, also himalaya_6_1_0_0 file, but i cannot get the phone to work.
Regards,
Andy

I would suggest that either something is wrong with the phone section, or someone has made a mistake when upgrading the radio section of the phone.
The radio upgrade is a seperate upgrade to the ROM. All Windows Mobile roms should have phone support automatically, it is just a matter of getting the right radio working for you.
I am at work and as such I can not provide you any more detail, needlesss to say, use the search function in the top right hand corner of this website, and search in the Himalaya section for radio upgrade.
Cheers

Cheers Jadel, will give that a go now !

Hello,
I'm now getting a strange error ! - i downloaded "C_ShekharWM6.1.1cR16.P32_public", but when i try to install i get a "country code" error ! - "ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR N-4-1-N-N".
What does this mean ?
Regards,
Andy

Use HimalayaUpgrade_NoID instead...........!

If you go to the Himalaya Upgrading section, you would have noticed this is the third link from the top "Fix and prevent ROM Upgrading/Downgrading Country ID Errors"
Here is the link, read it all and don't skip ahead, Rom upgrades can brick a device if not done properly.

Many thanks, i'll try that !

Just tried the "himalaya 6_1_0_0" upgrade. Installed okay. But when on main desktop screen i'm getting errors, couldn't open these files : "Screenrotate.exe", "btdwake.exe" and "Phoneservice.exe".
Other than that it works !
Help please.

Can't update my HTC?

HI I m still a noob in this sh*t.
I can't seem to do updates to my HTC kaiser.
The reason I wanna do that is because I can't install the tomtom that comes with the application cd because my phone tells me that I need to do the updates.
I have an htc orange but I live in Canada so it's unlocked.
ROM version: 3.03.405.0WWE
Date: 01/08/08
Radio version 1.64.06.04
Any help would be very apreciative.
I'm really tryin to find a thread that explains that but I just can't
Thanks

If you want to be more knowledgeable its always good to take a look at the wiki.
As for updates, could you be more specific please? Do you mean a ROM update or a software update? Perhaps posting exactly what the message says would help.

thank you for replying¸
When I go to install the Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716:
On the computer instalation goes normally
Then the pc tells me that I need to chek for additional... on phone
On the phone it says here is the message: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
When I go to the HTC website I try to update and I can't do it because when I put my serial code it tells me that my phone is not compatible
Now Ive made some search and found a post saying that ORANGE kaiser can't get the updates for reasons to hi-tech for me to understand. And that if yo actually do it via some type of hack your phone will be locked wish I don t want to happen.
Please help the only reason I bought this phone is for the GPS
I'll keep on trying to understand on xda

All HTC phones are sold with a specific rom for that phone or for that phone's carrier. Your phone is locked to that rom. It is HTC and your carriers way of controlling what rom you flash to your phone. Presumingly to stop people from screwing up their phones by flashing incompatible roms, and then looking to HTC for a new phone.
If you have an Orange phone, then you can only flash roms approved by Orange and the one you are trying to use is apparently not approved. Unlocked, only means that it is sim unlocked, not CID unlocked.
Were you originally trying to update a program or a rom ?

The question is there. What CD? Did it come with the phone or was it bought separately? What Tomtom version? What exactly does it say when it tells you to "do the updates"? Is it Tomtom saying that, or whatever else?
In other words, what exactly do you have at hand now, what are you trying to do and what is the problem encountered?
It will be hard to help you if we can't understand the situation.

Thanks for both replies
When I got my phone wish I bought from europe over the net, it didn t come with the application cd. I wanted to install tomtom on it and because I didn t have the cd then I couldn't do it.
I searched xda-developers site and I found a link to the application cd contents.
I got the folling:
3gnetopt.exe
Installer_Kaiser_BackupTool_5.1.0.b1450_HTC_WWE_20070710
Installer_Kaiser_GPRSMonitor_2.4.5_b938_HTC_WWE_20070710
Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716
SpriteBackupEnglishPersonalSetup
Now whenever I try to install any of those the instalation goes perfectly on the PC ( same way when I install anyother program on my PPC) then I get to the part where the PC tells me:
Please chek your mobile device screen to see if additional steps are necessary to complete instalation.
And on my PPC I see: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
When I go to HTC website for updates, I enter my serial and it tells me:
can t update because my phone is not compatible

You have to unlock the CID and flash a HardSPL if you are going to install a non-orange ROM. (Yes, this rule applies even if you are going to flash the HTC OEM ROM)

I m goin to do CID-unlock but will that affect my SIM unlock

No. Once your SIM is unlocked, it remains that way.

never mind I got it

Is it normal that when I flashed the new rom it says that I m using 61% of the memory from the start. Insted of the usual 30% for the regular wm6 rom

error 226 upgrading vodafone diamond

Hi to everyone.
I've just bought a HTC Diamond on the vodafone network, but need to unlock it as I'm on O2's network.
I've been able to install SPL 1.4 and this shows on the boot loader page.
The problem seems to come when I try and install the 'new' rom. It goes through the whole stage up to 100%. Then on the device it says error code please try again. On my Pc it says error code 226. I've tried it on a windows vista pc, and again on XP. I've also tried it by installing it direct onto the internal storage. This again goes through the installation up to and including 1005, but then come sup with a new screen on the device saying that the update and the radio have both failed to install.
I'd really like to unlock my device and to have a new rom so that I dont have all the vodafone branding.
Like many others, I'm willing to contribute so that research and new software is developed, and I have also read the forums for many hours trying to find a solution to my problem before posting.
Hopefully I can be directed to some help.
Kind regards.

Just to update and incase anyones interested.
I ended up downloading the latest version of the official rom that I could find, then extracted the nbh file using winrar, and installed that from the internal storage which has successfully worked.
Not sure why the other rom image I had wouldn't work, just glad I've got rid of the vodafone bits really.
Regards.

Unbranding HD Mini to latest HTC ROM

Please not that this is my first guide on here and I'll make it as easy to understand as much as possible.
This has been tested on a Vodaphone branded HD Mini. Please reply to this post if this has worked on a different branded phone.
This is to help people to Unbrand their HD Mini's.
Have you managed to flash it to the latest ROM? If not you need to do the following:
•Download the SSPL_RUU.exe and put it into an empty folder (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694409)
•Add the RUU_signed.nbh that you want to flash to your device into the same folder (http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pho...adio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe) Assuming you want Western Europe ROM. You can use a different ROM if you want
•Connect your HD Mini to your PC. Making sure you use ActiveSync
•Run SSPL_RUU.exe and following the onscreen propmts.
Once done your phone will reboot. Next is to flash a Radio ROM.
•Move your ROM from the folder which contains the SSPL_RUU.exe
•Using the ROM that you just used Extract it to a location of your choice by using winRAR. Look for
Radio_32.2806.05.06_0.63.05.40 and rename it to PHOTIMG.nbh
•Place PHOTIMG.nbh into the same folder as SSPL_RUU.exe and flash once again
•Once done you will have a unbranded HD Mini as if you bought it like that. This worked on my Vodaphone
branded HD Mini and worked a charm.
I'd like to thank DarkForcesTeam for the SSPL_RUU.exe and the rest of the developers that have made
this possible. Without them we would be stuck with these branded phones.

Could the Admins place this as a sticky please. Many Thanks

The phone hard-resets after radio flash ? I want to flash only the radio.

Thanks for your guide, wardy. Great explanation.
But it doesn't work with my HD mini.
It stays at 0% for quite a long time. Afterwards, there's an error saying something about a wrong ID.
I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a HD mini hardspl

As long as you are using the SSPL_RUU.exe to flash only the radio & renaming then you can flash it. Yes after the flash the phone does hard-reset.

Which part does it stay on? Please list the error exactly as it appears so that I can help you further.
If its ''Error 294, Invalid Vendor ID'' then download PHO03693.exe over to your device and install it then try to flash the radio again.

Thanks, I installed PHO03693.exe now. What happened afterwards:
-The error I get when I try to install any ROM via “DFT_SSPL_MINI” is “[202] Connection error”.
-If I enter boot mode via my endkey app and install via “DFT_SSPL_MINI” after that, it ends with “Error [262]: Update error”. When I click “view document”, it says: “dummy file”.
-If I try to install official HTC ROM “RUU_Photon_HTC_Europe_1.36.401.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship”, I get “Error [294] invalid vender ID”

Not sure about that error code. Have you tried doing a hard-reset first then trying to flash the ROM. If your using Windows Vista or Windows 7 then try running SSPL_RUU.exe as Administrator. Hope this helps

I tried both Windows 7 and XP as administrator.
When I'm doing hard-reset, I have to install PHO03693.exe afterwards again. So I did.

It has confused me now mate :$ You'll be better waiting for the HSPL instead. Hopefully it won't be too long now for it.

I have a cracked hd mini with vodafone branding..........i wanted to install the latest official rom......but i'm unable to do so........also i'm new to all this stuff can anybody please help me with this.........thanks

[edit]
Found the file now, download the latest HTC update http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=314&cat=0&dl_id=1024 & you can extract the file from there.

Managed to carry out the Radio ROM update with an O2 branded phone.
However the Radio rom listed is still the old one (0.63.05.18)
The update process appeared to take but the radio ROM has remained the same. So take from that what you will?!
