I have unlocked the phone using Lokiwiz tool..it restarted both times. I read and went through the guide referencing updating with windows vista...installed new drivers, etc. When I go to try to flash, it will go to the 0% page and then after a few seconds the program stops working and closes out. It never makes it to 1%. I'm doing this with a 100% battery. What am I doing wrong?

I've been reading and trying this for days with no luck. I've fully unlocked my wizard and I'm now trying to flash to the 318 rom. But I have no clue how to do it. Could someone walk me through ho to do it? Most of the flashing done thus far has been an EXE file or through DOS. I must be missing something simple.
please help

I followed that one already. That's how I unlocked it. But all step 3.8 says is "your ready to flash...". Right now I don't understand exactly how to flash and I'd prefer not to "trial and error" it.
However, this morning I did open up the Hypercore kitchen and I think I'm on the right track. I'm at work so I can't try anything but I've printed up everything in that thread including all it's links and I'm going to give it a go once I get home. I'll report back once that's done.
Alright, after some more research and reading in the hypercore kitchen thread and all it's links, I think I may have it figured out.
I download and extract the files for the ROM I want, in this case 318 8.1 from theloon.
I then follow the instructions linked int he hypercore thread with dumping, and the pkgtool, buildos, etc.. If followed correctly, my wizard should be flashed with the new rom correct?
A confirmation would be nice. Any other comments you have are a bonus.
Another question though; what's the difference between the programs contained in the SYS and OEM folders compared to the ones in the build OS that i have the select? Aren't the ones in the folders already included in the ROM?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. I don't get confused too easily so as you can imagine i'm quite frustrated. I used to flash new versions and programs to my Razr but it was nothing like this.
dont get me wrong are you trying to cook your own rom, because hypercore is a kitchen, i suggest you download one of the roms that are made by reputable cooks, like the NBD series, TNT series, paradox, xmr, faria's, ingenetics, octavio's they differ in the apps and costumization included in the os and the builds, so just select download and flash
there's an executable file inside the roms once you unzip it and be careful if your using xp or vista
The only things I've been working with up until this point is BuildOS and nb2nbf. I haven't fully grasped the definition of "cooking" yet; whether it means altering files for my self or if the BuildOS selection list is considered cooking.
I think i was trying to do too much and using a file different from the one being referenced in the tutorial was a bit confusing. So to start, I decided to use Faria's Crossbow and the tutorial that came with it. It was very easy and I was able to flash my Wizard to that ROM without a problem. But the one i really want is Theloon's 318.
So, based off of what I learned last night I figured I just needed to replace the OEM, ROM, and SYS folders that came up when I unzipped Faria's crossbow with the ones from 318. Is this correct? Because I just tried that this morning and I get all the way to the CMD prompt right before it opens nb2nbf and it gives me an error (see attacment). If there's one thing I've learned from all these bricked devices floating around, it's to NEVER proceed when an error occurs.
What does this error mean? How can I fix it? Is my moving of the folders wrong? What am i missing?
just messin around trying to see what tools work, i got another error.
Ok, now I've got a bigger problem. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. It's actually a lot simpler than I thought. i was just making it more complicated. Ok, I tarted the flash and at about 47%, it gave me a memory reference error. Now my Wizard won't go past the three-color screen and all it shows is my IPL/SPL 3.08. ActiveSync won't detect it, tried hard resetting, turning on while holding camera button, etc. What do i do now?
Now you start thinking... "Maybe I should have read the stickies on the Upgrading forums... bummer..."
The 3 color screen is called the BootLoader. As long you get that screen, your phone can be recovered. How to recover it?
- Use a Windows XP PC.
- Download Wizard_Love Rom (its somewhere, use google or search the forum, but then again, you wouldn't be having this problems IF you knew how to use the search button!)
- Press and hold CAMERA button and hit the reset, keeping the camera button pressed.
- Connect the Wizard to your pc using the USB cable.
- Start the Wizard_Love RUU utility that comes with it.
- Just press next until it starts flashing the ROM to it.
- Pray for it to finish without touching anything until the RUU says CONGRATULATIONS.
There... your phone is working again.
READ THE STICKIES BEFORE DOING ANYTHING AND USE THE SEARCH!
THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED FOR TOO MANY TIMES ALREADY!!!
PS: Maybe we should create a thread for helping the guys that don't follow stickies or care about the ALREADY info we have here... something like:
- 3 color screen: do this
- different IPL/SPL G3 on a G4 device: you are screwed.
I definately read the stickies over and over again. I've got a stack of printouts sitting in front of me that I've been reading for the past week.
I understand your frustration about questions like this but that's no reason to be rude. I used to be a moderator on pbnation.com so I know exactly how you feel. But the fact of the matter is that I'm not as familiar with these things as you are. I fixed the bootloader issue before I even read your response. i found the answer by re-reading one of my printouts that said the re-flash with official rom. So i did that and it worked. I knew I'd get flamed for posting but since I had already had a thread created, I figured it wouldn't hurt to post updates on my status.
I know how to flash roms now. It's actually quite easy. However, I ran into some issues that I'd like to explain in hopes that you realize I'm not taking advantage of you or not utilizing the tools and stickies.
i was having problems yesterday because of my work computer (I think). When extracting the files from Hypercore, they were not placed where they should have been and the tools wouldn't work properly. An example would be when opening buildOS it would give me the yes or no prompts. An IT friend allowed me to use his non-work laptop to do the exact same thing and I was able to use it without a hitch. The simple tmobile official rom update wouldn't even work on my work computer. So it's not just me.
I knew there was a reason that i couldn't follow it.
Regardless of your approach, I still thank you for your help.
I didn't mean to be rude... sorry about that. Its just that from your post count I thought your were like a newcomer like those that come here all the time, asking the same questions over and over again. Netherless, sorry for "helping" you the way I did.
I will have some tea now to relax care to join?

My best guess seeing as how I wrote that tutorial here(not my original work but I wrote the tutorial on the board) you probably botched something in the Vista Upgrading tutorial or are using an outdated RUU. You might want to re-read the Vista upgrading tutorial from my signature.
Hi, sorry if i open a new thread for problem soving, but i can´t find any solution for it and i really looked into the Dummies Guide! My SPL is 1.54 at the moment and i tried to put the 1.56 three times today, but it always gives me an "Update Error".
I go into the bootloader with the colors, and execute the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and follow it as needed. When it goes to the update Bar, maybe 30 seconds later it gives an Update Error on my computer (i think 262) and i have to take out the battery fom the HD. Then i can use the phone as usually, without problem. But how can i get the HSPL on it? AV is deactivated, sync isn´t lost. I seen somewhere anything about a protection in the forum, but i don´t remember where it was and in the dummies Guide it doesn´t say something about this.
The moderators at any time can close and delete my thread, if this problem was posted before, but as the forum is so big, i really couldn´t find anything.
Thanks

I guess you did not read the dummies guide carefully. Anyways,
1. Copy a file (Attached) to your SD card using your computer.
2. Go to that file in from your phone's file browser and run it,
3. This action would take you to the bootloader screen & would say SPL Version 1.07.Olinex.
4. Now attach your USB to the Phone. At the bottom of the screen you should see USB after a while (2-4 Sec).
5. Now Drag the ***.nbh file to the wrapper file (1.56 Olinex) from your Computer and your update process should start.
6. After sucessfully done this, Hard reset your phone (Twice Recomended)
Hope this helps.
If your problem is solved please acknowldege (Moderator please close this thread)
No need to panic, just follow tausifs advice and if you still cannot get it working, post your query in Dummies guide thread and myself or somebody else will assist you at their earliest convienience.
No need for another thread. Thread closed

I want to say thanks first for the help so far.
So I finally managed to hardspl but that was it unfortunatly.
Your dummies guide is quite good, but for someone not technical at all and normally not into handy programming etc???
HSPL3 is OK I have it.
As of HSPL4 I am stuck: I ran the the blackstone rapper with the nbh file, also ok
I do the hard reset and than I still have my old SFR etc on the phone (I have also the problem with the colours, but that is the least problem at the time)
I than tried to flash an other rom (Miri) and there I get error 240 (file open)
So I thought I do the hardreset again (bootloader showed than my old version, do not ask me why) I did everything again and I am stuck again.
After two days it starts being quite frustrating I must admit but i stay full of hope for your help
Thanks again

As I told you yesterday, please post your questions in the correct place. You have obviously read the Dummies Guide, so please post your question in that thread and do not start your third new thread. This thread will be closed as soon as the moderators find it.
If you have the colour problem your hspl was obviously not successful, are you sure that you did not try uspl, which may explain why your old spl is back?. In bootloader mode what spl is showing? It needs to show 1.56.Olinex (see picture)
ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN
When this error message appears, check whether the downloaded .nbh image is placed in the same directory as the RUUWrapper. If, for some unknown reason, you find that the ROM image is not located in the RUU folder, you have to download the RUU and retry again. Check that the contents of the folder is a CustomRUU.exe file and an .nbh file.

If you post in the right place I'll try my best to talk you through the process, it's really not that difficult.
Please post your query within Dummies guide thread and myself or someone else will answer your query.
Please try and abide by forum rules in future. No need for new thread. This has now been your 3rd unnecessary thread. Consider this your first and last warning. Failure to comply with forum rules will result in a temporary ban!!

Hi ladies and gentlemen!
I have tried and tried and tried to flash mi tilt, and no luck. I've followed the intructions(let me guess well if you followed the instructions then you shouldn't be having a problem? save it.) It's not working! :[[[[[[[[ It keeps giving me the error 262 update error. I did what the solution said to do which was to soft reset and enter bootloader, and i did that but still no luck. I 'flashed' wm6.1 i think well installed it from htc's website and it worked and stuff, but i hate it! It is so laggy when i text and it keeps going into sleep mode after 10 seconds or the backlight goes dim after 10 seconds i've tried fixing it with what htc says to do but it still does it after 10 seconds. AND kaisertweak wont work it says the file is corrupt; i've tried re-installing it so many times i threw my phone!!!! ;[ It still works but it has a dent on the side. It doesn't bug me Anyway, someone has to have a solution for all this! PLEASE!!! AND THANK YOU in advance. I also followed the instructions on 'flashing for newbs' and still no luck. If you need info on my phone here it is: WM6.1, (when entering bootloader with the power+camera+SR) 3.56, THE PHONE IS UNLOCKED(as in i can use t-mobile, verizon, etc.), and that's all i can remember lol. Oh yeah one more thing, i can't seem to get rid of the 'bloatware' :'[ I've tried many so-called 'solutions. :'[ no luck. HELP!
This is the second " help me with my phone " thread you have started in the rom development section. You are not developing a rom or aiding a chef in developing a rom. So stop starting new threads here. Your last one was locked, and so will this one. This is not the I'm a noob , help me section. If you are having a problem post it in the flashing for noobs thread. There is no problem that you are having hat hasn't already been addressed in that thread.
Have you flashed hardspl yet ? Which one 3.34, 3.56. 3.29. 3.29 cmonex ? Have you tried flashing from an SD card ? 262 is a usb error. Have you tried reloading activsync ? Have you Disabled anti virus and firewalls. Saying I've tried everything tells people nothing.

Mod Edit: Edited swear as no need for that and against forum rules
Moved as not ROM Development and in previous you was given some ideas, have you tried another computer? Tried hard-resetting phone? Tried another stock from provider or even better:
Posted in here:
Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
Maybe a better place to get help
Please post in correct sections no matter how you think you may get more responses.
Have you tried indenting paragraphs or cutting up your post so that it can be read?
Is it just me, I can't read that stuff?
So, if his phone is unlocked, is it possilbe his phone is already set to flash? I guess it depeneds on how it's unlocked.

You figured wrong, twice apparently, so Mr. Denco was showing you your failures in figuring. You got the "attitude" for posting in the wrong section TWICE.. When a mod closes or moves the thread, they explain why..
