I have another, less harsh theory. It's that no one had a useful suggestion for you until HDUBLI came along and offered advice. Or, your problem has been experienced by others and based on reading the forum and a little experimentation on your part, you could have solved it.
Rather than lash out at everyone because they didn't overwhelm you with solutions, you should be thankful these forums exist in the first place.
If you are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with the risks and issues associated with ROM flashing, I suggest you stick with what your carrier provided. This is a friendly and sharing forum, but you won't make any friends by bearing unreasonable expectations and criticizing.
Glad your issue was resolved.

I can't get it to work. I flashed succesfully CUSTOM_RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe and CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe but afterwards with both ROMS when I try to flash 2.08 Qtek test ROM, it goes nicely all the way to colors screen and then stops with "error [296] upgrade only".
I noticed that SPL stayed 2.17 after both ROMS, is it the reason 2.08 won't go through?

search forum carefuly...you hv to CID Unlock everytime.I hv been doing this...Pls try and post here

Hdubli I bow down to you, you teh guru
I flashed Button's ROM and then ran cid-unlock with aWizard 1.2. After that I succesfully flashed Qtek 2.08 ROM. Thanks for the help, man!

Want to go back to qtek9100 1.1.7.5 9/22/05 ROM

Hdubli,
I have a bit of a similar problem here. I have a Qtek9100 with the ROM Version: 1.1.7.5 ROM date: 09/22/05.
Recently, I upgraded to AKU rom, but I see that this rom is unstable and gives me problems with wifi which used to work flawlessly on my original rom. I just want to go back to the 1.1.7.5 ROM.
In your post, you asked to flash a CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe rom and then CIDunlock and then flash old rom. My question is,
1. is this Custom rom the actual qtek9100 1.1.7.5 Rom ? If yes then I can just do this step.
2. If not, then you said that I need to CID unlock. Would cid unlocking void the warranty.
3. Further, if I cid unlock, do you know where do I find the installer for qtek 1.1.7.5 ROM, dated 9/22/05.
I know lot of questions here, but i would really appreciate any help on these.
Please advise.

Can't upgrade to cooked ROM

hello guys...i've been trying to upgrade to this Romeo's rom....but seems there's a problem with it...after i copy n run the jump spl, the screen become tri color...n i waited for the "usb" words to appear in the middle of the screen,but it didn't appear....and because of this i've been stuck at these steps for few days...i hav searched at the wiki's, but couldnt find about this probl..help pls guys...thanks in advvnce,,

okay..think i find the way now..searchd again at the wiki...n the suggestion was to reflash the original rom...think this is my original rom "1.81.707.0 (radio 1.27.12.11) Dopod WWE "...the question is...the rom version and the radio version is different here....the rom vers is exactly the same wit my rom...but the radio is different....should i just proceed or not?

What version of JumpSPL are you using? Mine, and a couple of other's as well, didn't show the "USB" with version 1.93. Try version 1.56 and it should work.

Please tell me that you are not trying to flash a ROM using JumpSPL...

i've been told to use this "JumpSPL1.93-KAIS" in order to use the "@ROMEOS_v3_5"...i just follow the steps given to me...

Connect Kaiser to computer using USB cable
Make sure ActiveSync icon is GREEN
RUN kaiser-HardSPL.exe on Computer (PC)
Follow instructions on screen:

That's why I went with an open-ended statement/question. His original post states he checked the Wiki, but I saw no mention of HardSPL.

JumpSPL
HardSPL
ROMeOS
in that order...

Ok, so I know I have posted this before....and have seen it posted in about 100 other places ( not to mention the ROM UPGRADING thread right on the front page of the WIKI ). JUMPSPL is ONLY used to flash your current locked spl into a HARDSPL.
Step 1
Run JumpSPL on the phone
Step 2
Flash HARDSPL onto the phone
Step 3
Using HARDSPL, Flash your ROM and/or RADIO
NEVER NEVER NEVER DEVIATE FROM THIS!!!!!

In answer to your Question, Yes.
Read the instructions of Post #2 very carefully of this thread to install Hard SPL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922.

For a nice UI try the [27-08-08] L26 KaiserDiamond Throttle Launcher (Beta 6 released!). ROMeOS is fast and stable though, best way to find out is to try them.

Please help

Please Help
I really am going crazy with this rom flashing stuff. I have read the wiki for 2 days.
I understand I need to CID unlock my phone before I can apply cooked roms. But after countless searches I cant find clear info on how to CID unlock my phone.
This really is a last resort, I have been rading for 2 days with no certainty of what to do next.
Thanks

USPL and HSPL do this for you so you are able to flash a rom or radio. Read this page from wiki. It'll help you understand
Follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide on how to flash (can be found in my signature). If you intend to do a lot of flashing I'd flash HSPL as its permanent whilst USPL is temporary and you'd need to re-use it before every flash to new rom or radio
Latest HSPL can also be found in my signature

Ah excellent thank you so much.
So can I flash straight to the newest 1.56 rom from my current version which is 1.19.61.1WWE on orange?
Or is there a stage in between I would have to do.
Thanks again.

Flashing from one HTC stock rom to another you don't need to use USPL or HSPL. But going to a cooked rom you do.
Answer to your query is it depends on route you take. If you go down the USPL route you'll need to follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Would take to long to explain and he as already done a very good tutorial on the subject. If you go down HSPL route, all you need to do is flash latest HSPL then 1.56 rom

That clears everything up. one last thing, which rom would you reccomend? I like the look of the enwer roms with WM6.
Thanks again much appreciated.

I'm currently testing Dutty's V3.4. His V3.3 is already released but I'd wait for the new release hopefully in a few days. Both are based on WM6.1. Alternatively their is so many good roms out there. I'd also recommend Davideuck, EnergyROM & L26_THDV2.2 (Laurentius26). All very good roms by very good cooks. Best thing would be to try each of them and make your own opinion

thanks again mate, you are a legend, Ill post tonight to let you know how it went.

There are a few forms of unlocking but the bottom line is that you need to bypass the checking which is done in the flash process.
One way is permanat as done once no issues anymore - HSPL
Another is as and when you need - USPL.
Wiki has a walk through that needs to be upated but I thought still was useable.
Flash the new 1.56 shipped rom and then move on to cooked roms. (will help you by pass the greenscreen issue)

Sorry to hijack your thread futurama but I am having the same problem. Could you let me know how you did it

Thanks HDuser. Not sure if you know where I`m up to but originally I flashed my Orange 1.19.61.1 ROM with USPL and then flashed Duttys 2.7 1.56 based ROM which has given me the green screen problem. An earlier poster suggested I flash Olinex HSPL 1.54 to cure the problem. The problem I am having now is the phone refuses to sync with the PC. I have tried Vista and XP, the PC does not hibernate or sleep or anything, the phone is set to not switch off. It will usually sync on first connection but after a few seconds it will disconnect and therefore HSPL is reporting as being disconnected.
I have tried the earlier HSPL and HSPL 1.56 (as the ROM in bootloader screen is reported as being 1.56 and SPL is 1.14). I feel I`m going round in circles and its only a matter of time before I brick the phone.
I have read and re-read the wikis but I am now just getting more and more confused.

davemazo
Look the best way to approach any problem is to go back to the roots.
Flash a stock rom, find your own stock rom and refalsh it, then take it from there.
Your post is missleading and I have no idea were to sart. One issue is your PC ist does not Hibanate, not or go into sleep mode, at the saem time you are saying that you can't sync. Sounds like you have other problems and those other problems are making you have problems with your device.

Thanks HDuser. Sorry for confusing you, but I am now totally confused myself, Basically though the phone does not sync with the PC, I have tried 2 PC`s, with Vista and XP.
But back to your point about flashing stock ROM, I have tried a link in the wiki to download the one I need which is Orange 1.19.61.1 but the link seems to be broken and I don`t know where else I can get it. It doesn`t seem to be on the Orange website or HTC.

There is a part on the black stone wiki that mentions I need to CID unlock my phone. It says you need to do this before you can flash roms, I felt it wasn't clear that, all I needed to do was flash HSPL in order to allow me to put new roms on.
This is what I did.
1:Flashed HSPL olinex 1.14.
2:Flashed HSPL Olinex1.56
3:Flashed MIRI WM6.5 10.0WWE
only part I had trouble with, my phone wouldnt let me flash the HSPL at first, I had to use a manual thing that you launch on the device the it lets you flash the HSPL.

It sounds as if you have it sorted now and everything working. As HDUser stated previously HSPL & USPL allows you to bypass the CID lock to enable you to flash new roms

Only thing I need clearing up, I can change my SPL back to the original version cant it?
Just incase anything goes tits up and I need to send it back

Big problem

Hi i have a big big problem I have the energy ROM and i would Upgrade it but i cant i have all time the old ROM on my phone. pls help me
Sry for bad english

why can´t you upgrade the rom??? you only has to flash the new rom again!!!
Please explain you problem with more detail.

i flashed the new rom but the old rom is on my phone not the new

after each update, you have to hard reset your device. did you do that?

Did you follow flashing guide correctly?
Are you using HSPL or USPL method? If USPL method you need to re-use it before every flash. If HSPL is on device, your SPL should say SPL-1.56Olinex and you should be able to flash rom straight away
Answer all questions above and post your response on flashing thread. No need for new one.

I need help.

Im using official rom from HTC.want to flash to sifu 6.1 rom but failed,luckily not bricked.im not sure whether my phone gt SPL.i got go to bootloader screen.there gt: SPL: 3.29 .should i still need to use the HARD SPL before i flash to sifu 6.1 rom? i wnt to flash because my phone will freeze every few seconds.i knw some ppl oso experience this.any fix? Thank u so much for ur kinly help!

You MUST HAVE HARD SPL to flash cooked ROMs.
Check the "How to Flash Your First ROM for NOOBs" tutorial under the sticky in the Kaiser ROM dev forum.

Yup if you don't want to ruin your phone then HardSPL should be the first thing you flash. Which version depends on if you run into difficulties or not. Read the stickies its all in there.
