A few months ago the charger port on my wizard snapped off, so i got out my soldering iron soldered it back on, everything worked fine. apart from the fact that it didn't sync. i live with this as i use linux and rarely need to sync i just bluetooth stuff across.
But today i bricked my phone, and can't start it (hangs on startup). so i try and flash it but i cant as it doesnt sync.
so i'm wondering if anyone has a reTouched backup rom that i can flash from SD card with? as i rely on my phone greatly.
and t-mobile are saying i can't upgrade untill january (even though my dad was able to upgrade and i got mine around the same time both on 18 month contracts)
so please anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Did you try to hard-reset your phone?
Pressing CommManager + VoiceCommand button with the reset hole, then press Talk button when prompted.

I just had that problem, and it was discussed in detail in the thread I linked above. Happy reading and good luck!
You don't have any other option except to get your mini usb port repaired of your phone,in order to unbrick or flash any other rom to your phone.
the option you are talking about is not possible, as Sdcard image created by any other phone can not be flashed to another phone,as at the time of creating backup image on Sdcard,the method uses some values from the same device that are stored at the first 0x200 bytes ,therefore, Sdcard image of one phone can not be flashed to another phone,it can only flash back the image created by the same phone.
try to revive your phone by Hard reset,it might get ok,although by doing Hard reset you'll loose all your personal data,but it might revive the phone,otherwise in any case try to get mini usb repaired.
On second thought,are using any Sdcard already in your phone ?if yes take out the Sdcard and Hard reset,it might do the trick,sometimes if Sdcard needs formate,it freezes the splash screen,good luck
I've tried a hard reset, doesnt seem to work. allthough it did once but then same thing happened next time i soft reset.
i'm using the .Mun. wm6 rom
i just took it back apart gave it a clean (cleared the tons of sand blocking it up)
resoldered the usb port
now i get "Device not recognized" where as before i got nothing.
I'm thinking i need a new phone

hmmmm, I think it's woken up ,I hope,do one more thing, uninstall Active sync, reboot your pc,download latest Active sync ver 4.5 and update your pc to Windows Installer 3.1 from Windows update,Install the new active sync 4.5 and try to synchronize,lets hope it'll do the trick,no harm giving it a try this way
On second thought,to check if the mini usb port of your phone has started to work is to get your phone off the usb cable,try to go into bootloader mode on phone and when in bootloader mode connect usb cable to phone and your pc,if after connecting you see a small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloader screen of your phone,than VOILLA! your all set to flash. good luck
I tried the bootloader again and i did get the USB in the corner, but, it still refuses to sync or flash (i also reinstalled activesync and everything necessary).
seems a bit strange. anyway, whenever i plug it in a get the bubble saying "device not recognized" etc etc
click that it registers as "unknown device"
Which has no drivers
"No drivers are installed for this device.
If you are having problems with this device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter."
are there any extra drivers needed for the actual device? and yes i have tried the update drivers option doesnt seem to find anything.
EDIT:
I forgot to say, i did manage to hard reset and get it working, its just incredibly slow and unreliable and im still looking to flash it.
'I tried the bootloader again and i did get the USB in the corner, but, it still refuses to sync or flash (i also reinstalled activesync and everything necessary)'.
Ok,some encouragement here,let me explain,while flashing a rom,you don't require to establish connection through active sync,infact,while flashing active sync is automatically disabled by ruu.. itself.ok
now lets try this,if you say that when in bootloader,usb is shown,then kill the active sync altogether for awhile being.Before connecting your phone to the pc via usb,disable active sync,right click active sync icon in the task bar, click 'connection settings' and remove check from 'Allow usb Connection' and 'open active sync when my devics connects'.than open 'Task Manager',click processes tab and find 'wcescomm.exe' process,hit 'end process',this will close active sync altogether.
Now if you have the official Rom of your carrier,if not download it from your carriers official website.Go into bootloader mode on your phone,connect phone to pc vis usb,when it shows usb there open rom and run RUU..,hope it'll flash your device,it's a faint try but no harm trying,good luck
Go to my thread linked above...it is actually discussed...
In a nutshell...
go to device manager and tick "show hidden devices"
scroll down to usb, uninstall "unknown device"
using task manager kill wescomm.exe (or something to that name)
shut down any firewall
shut down your pc, AND pull the plug for at least 30 seconds
replug the power to pc, boot up
check in task manager to make sure wescomm.exe didn't restart, kill it if it did
make sure firewall didn't restart
now force bootloader
plug in phone
look for corner usb
work quickly...reflash your phone before you lose any connection
"the update utility cannot connect to your pda phone..." etc
doesn't seem to be working, but i still do get the usb in the corner

If you followed the directions, you should be able to flash the phone. Mine was tempermental but it DID flash. You need to make sure you follow the directions...and one more thing...
turn off your phone, unplug it, remove the battery for 10 seconds, power it on, then plug it in...after doing all the other steps. That's what got mine to read...and flash
hi,
i have a kaiser that's stuck on the bootloader. i can connect using mtty and get the phone to boot then but that's less than ideal.
does anyone have 5 minutes to talk me through what i need to do to fix this ?
many thanks in advance.
mrdo.
I'm assuming after booting using MTTY it goes back to the SPL after the next soft reset?
Dave
Actually, If you can boot into the OS, Flash a new Version of HardSPL 3.29 by cmonex (it's in the Stickies in the ROM Development Forum).
Ta
Dave
yup -straight back into the spl upon reboot. :-(
is there any difference between 3.29 and 3.29 force usb ?
thanks for your assistance - very much appreciated. lugging a pc around for every time that my phone rebooted wasn't exactly top of my to do list.

I assume you mean the jockyw2001 Hard SPL 3.29 and jockyw2001 Hard SPL 3.29 Force USB?
The difference is to do with people not been able to access USB when in the bootloader.
Can you boot into the OS and flash this Hard SPL by cmonex?

Just put the nbh file in the same directory as the KaiserCustomRUU.exe program.
Boot your phone into Windows Mobile, Run JumpSPL (or SSPL) on your phone.
Then Run KaiserCustomRUU.

KaiserCustomRUU is everywhere. (RUU == Rom Update Utility)
If you download an attachment from this page, it will be in the Zip archive: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
Also follow Post #2 in this link for how to flash a new Hard SPL. (In the FAQ is a link to download the Jump SPL).
EDIT:
In closing follow those instructions in that link but replace the nbh from the jockyw2001 zip you download, with the nbh from cmonex.
Dave
cheers - will give that a go. thanks for your patience.
hi dave,
i'm following these instructions :
1. Plug the device into your PC
2. Copy Jump/Soft to your device. use JumpSPL If you have the "White Screen" issue, if you don't, you can use SSPL-KAIS.exe.
3. Take out your SD card & SIM Card.
4. Run Jump/Soft SPL on your device
5. Wait for the bootloader screen to appear and "USB" to show.
6. Right-click activesync, 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 and flash the SPL
i run jump spl from file manager on my device whilst still attached to my usb cable as per step 4.
the bootloader screen appears, as does usb ...
i unplug my device, wait 20 seconds, plug it back in and then nothing happens. is something supposed to happen just because i unplug the usb cable ?

Nothing is supposed to happen, When you unplug "USB" should be replaced by "Serial" and then change back to "USB" when plugged in. (It might not do though ) Just carry on...
Have you Unchecked "Allow USB Connections" before unplugging? If so just run the RUU after plugging back in.

After you unplug/replug DESELECT 'allow USB connections' then finish step 8.
it was already unchecked.
so when i unplug the usb cable, nothing seems to happen.
am i supposed to reset the device once it's plugged back into the usb cable ? how do i run RUU ?
(p.s i'm assuming that when i run RUU, it will just pick up the nbh file because it's in the same directory ?)

First, re-check "Allow USB Connections" box, and start the process from the beginning (un-checking it when required by the steps).
Just double click the RUU to run. The KaiserCustomRUU will pick up the first *.nbh file in it's directory, it is important that there is only 1 nbh file in this directory.
Thanks

sorry, it doesn't want to work for me. :-(
i'm assuming that resetting the phone will remove jumpspl from memory and thus invalidate the whole process ?
i have no way of getting into the os without resetting the device.

First of all you will need .NET installed if you do not have it already. I would recommend .NET 3.5. You can download it from Microsoft here.
The most important part about flashing a rom is knowing what SPL version your phone has and what rom you want to use before you begin flashing. If you are at a point where you have already begun flashing and are now getting a green, distorted screen, having huge issues with the phone not responding and airplane mode being stuck on, that is because you have done the process wrong. Don't fret, you can simply start over with this guide. You can still place your phone into the bootloader so you are ok.
The first thing to do is check what your SPL version currently is. To do this you need to enter bootloader by:
Turn it off.
Hold the volume down button while you press the power on button.
You should see a tri-color screen with some text (This is bootloader).
Plug in your phone to your computer via USB. At the very bottom of the screen it should show USB.
Once you know what your SPL version currently is you need to decide whether you want to use USPL or HSPL to flash roms.
The difference between USPL and HSPL:
HSPL is an user-modified SPL that you have to flash to your phone. It overwrites the existing SPL on your device with a "hacked" one so to say. It allows you to bypass the HTC certificate check and flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone. You only have to flash it once and then you can flash roms anytime.
USPL is a temporary solution. It takes advantage of an exploit in the existing SPL and then loads a modified one to memory, effectively allowing the same thing as HSPL. However, since this is only memory-resident you have to do it each time you want to flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone, because this exploited state is lost upon reboot. With USPL you must still have the right version of the HTC SPL that is compatible with the rom you want to use.
Now that you have decided which route you want to go as far as SPL's go, temporarily disable or uninstall your virus scanning software as 90% of them will conflict with flashing.
If you wish to use HSPL and it shows your current SPL as:
Anything but 1.56.OliNex - go to step (HSPL1) on post 2
1.56.OliNex - go to step (HSPL4) on post 2
If you wish to use USPL and it shows your current SPL as:
Anything but 1.54.0000 - go to step (USPL1) on post 3
1.54.0000 - go to step (USPL5) on post 3
If you are getting errors during the RUU process, read this guide for descriptions of the error codes and associated solutions/suggestions!
If you need to update your USB drivers, read this guide for step-by-step instructions!
MOD EDIT (01/10/09)
Video guide to help newbies out with loading ROMs
HSPL Method
Use this method only if you selected the HSPL route from the first post!
HSPL1 - Downloads
(HSPL1a) HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip
(HSPL1b) A 1.56+ based rom - Your end result rom, i.e. rom you want on device which is based on 1.56+
(HSPL1c) BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip
(HSPL1d) SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip
(HSPL1e) Extract each item to its own folder
HSPL2 - Flash new SPL (1.56.OliNex)
(HSPL2a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(HSPL2b) Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from the download in step (HSPL1a) and follow it as normal.
(HSPL2c) If successful, go to step HSPL3. If the flashing process sits at 0% and you get Error [260] connection after some time, go to step (Troubleshooting).
HSPL3 - Check SPL version
(HSPL3a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(HSPL3b) When the bootloader appears it should show SPL v 1.56.OliNex. If it does go to step (HSPL4). If it does not something happened so repeat step (HSPL2).
HSPL4 - Flash new 1.56+ rom
(HSPL4a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(HSPL4b) If the rom you downloaded from step (HSPL1b) does not include BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe then use the download from step (HSPL1c). Make sure the .nbh file from step (HSPL1b) and BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe are in the same folder.
(HSPL4c) Run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and follow it as normal.
(HSPL4d) Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button. You should see a message saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Do exactly what it says...
You are done!
Troubleshooting - manual SSPL
Boot up your phone.
Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.
Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.
When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.
Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
USPL Method
Use this method only if you selected the USPL route from the first post!
USPL1 - Downloads
(USPL1a) RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip
(USPL1b) HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip
(USPL1c) USPL GUI v 2.5.zip
(USPL1d) A 1.56+ based rom - Your end result rom, i.e. rom you want on device which is based on 1.56+
(USPL1e) BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip
(USPL1f) Extract each item to its own folder
USPL2 - Updating HTC USB Sync driver
(USPL2a) Follow my guide here on updating the HTC USB Sync driver.
USPL3 - Flash new SPL (1.54.0000)
(USPL3a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(USPL3b) Run USPL.exe from the download in step (USPL1c). Remember to disable your antivirus for this. Some provide a false positive that it is a virus/trojan. When the application appears click on Run USPL.
(USPL3c) Your phone should reboot and return to its bootloader but saying SPL v 1.15.USPL and USB at the bottom. If it does not show USB after some time, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from your phone.
(USPL3d) Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from the download in step (USPL1b). Do not click any buttons on the screen when the application appears.
(USPL3e) Copy RUU_Signed.nbh that you extracted from the download in step (USPL1a) and overwrite the one in the directory where you ran HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from. If you get an error message saying that the file is already in use that is because you clicked one or more buttons in the HardSPL application window once it appeared. If that happens to you, exit from it, start it again, and DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING YET.
(USPL3f) Now you can continue in the HardSPL application and follow it as normal. Basically what you are doing is flashing the stock 1.54.0000 SPL to your phone by overwriting the HardSPL's .NBH file with the stock one.
USPL 4 - Check SPL version
(USPL4a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(USPL4b) When the bootloader appears it should show SPL v 1.54.0000. If it does go to step (USPL5). If it does not something happened so repeat step (USPL3).
USPL 5 - Flash new 1.56+ rom
(USPL5a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(USPL5b) Run USPL.exe from the download in step (USPL1c). Remember to disable your antivirus for this. Some provide a false positive that it is a virus/trojan. When the application appears click on Run USPL.
(USPL5c) Your phone should reboot and return to its bootloader but saying SPL v 1.15.USPL and USB at the bottom. If it does not show USB after some time, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from your phone.
(USPL5d) If the rom you downloaded from step (USPL1d) does not include BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe then use the download from step (USPL1e). Make sure the .nbh file from step (USPL1d) and BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe are in the same folder.
(USPL5e) Run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and follow it as normal.
(USPL5f) Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button.

Yes, download the USB drivers from above and extract them to a folder. Mind where you extract them. Follow these steps:
(1) Start -> Run -> devmgmt.msc
(2) Look for HTC USB Sync
(3) Double-click it and click the Driver tab
(4) Click Update Driver
(5) On new screen tell it not to use Windows Update
(6) Install from a specified location
(7) Check only box that says "Include this location in the search"
(8) Click Browse and locate the extracted drivers you downloaded
(9) After selecting click next and select the new driver
(10) After it is updated reboot and try USPL again
Let me know how it works.

What is giving you this message? The RUU? What step are you at in my guide? Do you get USPL run successfully? Does your bootloader on your phone show 1.15.USPL and USB when it's connected to your computer?

Up to step 5, everything is ok.
but It wont let me update saying its impossible to update the drivers.
1 more thing i want to mention is that i found those inf & cat files already present in c:\winnt\inf folder. ofcourse the size is not the same.
I will try to update the drivers again though Im starting to assume that my windows dont see a different between already present files and new extracted files.

You can force Windows to accept the new driver files. You just have to tell it that you "Have Disk" and locate those files. Once you do it will show a dialog where you can select the device and it should overwrite your current driver with the one from the download.

For some odd reason I can no longer get the the "serial" status to change to "usb". It charges but does not connect to activesync. I flashed many many times so I am not a noob at this but I might be making a noob mistake.
What I am using: SPL 1.54 (I use USPL 2.5). I am currently using Miri's v23 manilla 2.5. I am using the same pc (xp) and cables to flash.
What I've tried:
- used 3 different pc's and the original pc
- 4 different usb cables
- ticking/unticking the "enable faster data syncing" box in settings>connections>usb to pc
-ticking/unticking "allow usb connections" in activesync
-if I leave the cable in AND THEN put the phone in bootloader mode, the status is blank. When I remove the cable, it returns to "serial"
When the phone is on, it just doesn't seem to react (vista and xp)to the cable being plugged in. The led just shows that it's charging.
I pulled an all-nighter and I'm stumped.
Maybe you need to update the USB drivers. Same thing happened to me but it worked after updating the USB drivers as per this link.

I forgot the most important part-
Since the pc does not recognize that there's something plugged in, I cannot select the "HTC USB Sync" under device manager and proceed with updating the drivers. I don't think I need to but at this point I'm trying everything.
Unless there's another way of updating drivers without the phone showing up on the device manager...
Updated the usb drivers by plugging in an old htc device. The pc was able to recognize the other htc device and was able to switch from serial to usb.
But after the update, there was no improvement for the blackstone status.
Anyone? The phone still doesn't recognize the usb cable whether the phone is on or in bootloader, it just charges.
Any help is appreciated!

Seems something wrong with your device. Try to hard reset and do it again?
Or if you still cant connect to usb. there is another way to upgrade without connecting to pc. After upgrade to new ROM, try it again whether it can connect to pc or not? Here is some tips for you.
Connect your SD card to PC through microSD card. Copy all files from your SDcard to new folder in your PC. Then, right click on the microSDcard disk-->full Format by FAT32 (this step is very important).
After formatting SDcard, copy back all files to SDcard . Rename .nbh to BLACIMG.nbh (for Blacktone) and copy it to SDcard.
Insert your SDcard back to Touch HD. Turn off your device by Power button.
Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade" press power button and it will start upgrade Rom.
You can check this video for more practical actions on youtube.(this video for HTC diamond2 but it's almost the same with Blacktone just different in rename step)
Hope it helps and cheer
Thanks for the tips =)
I've did a hard reset twice and still no luck.
I've tried to flash through SD but since I use USPL, it just hangs when I try.
If I have SPL 1.54.0000, is there something that can be flash through the SD without USPL?

I have not tried this. I am on HSPL 1.56olinex but you can try my suggestion cause I think it's the only one you can choose now. I never ever use USPL. I think you can do it step by step and carefully.

Hi,
i've a big problem with my diamond
it starts normally, but after htc splash screen, it tries to load windows but after 1-2 seconds it restart.
i was using cooked rom gen.Y D2 rev.Y with radio 1.09.25.23
G 52.51.25.26H
i've tried with original rom 2.03 but the problem still remains.
What can i do to resolve this problem?
Where can i find original radio and G (what does it stand for?) to put inside my htc with original rom for probably warranty assistence (i hope)
i've also olinex1.40 spl, how can i remove it?
Thank you in advance
Gianluca
SOunds like a bad flash to me. Try using MTTY to reflash. Should work fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290
how can i run this procedure:
Connect Device to PC via Active Sync, Once Connected Uncheck USB Connections,DISCONNECT DEVICE then Reboot Computer
if the device can't start completely?
Flash from your System not the Internal Storage. Read the 4th post.
i can't install drivers on my win7 x64 because i can't follow the first post "how to install drivers" so with the mtty.exe it doesn't find the usb driver
In that case see if you can get into bootloader.
(Reset + Hold Vol Down), this will show the Red, Blue, Green screen showing "Serial"
Then plug your usb cable in and you should get it showing "USB".
You then need to Hard SPL and reflash.
yes i've succesfully installed drive on win7 x64
i've run mtty.exe, followed the instructions, all ok.
then i've disconnected the diamond from usb and made an hard reset (it says press vol.up to restore manufacturer default, vol. down to restore and format movinanand, i press vol. up, and after vol.up again: is it the hard reset or is it another menu?)
but after restart the htc has same problem..it continues to restart by itself
i've decided to return htc to stock software and firmware in order to send him in warranty to delaer.
so, i've installed last official rom htc 2.03, it includes the radio.
Now after that, because system doesn't want to start completely, also after mtty.exe format ecc., the last thing i've to do is install official spl right?
i've found the guide:
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from this post (pick one of the attachments) in this thread.
2. also download the RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip from the attachments in this post.
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, put the NBH in the extracted RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH package.
4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.
that's it.
what official spl have i to install? 1.23 1.34 1.37?
i've tried with all the 3 spl but nothing changed i think, because when i open the bootloader it still saying 1.40olinex
