Hi all i`m always changing my roms and radio`s like you do lol i had duttys rom installed and hard spl olinex 1.93 also. my problem is and like a true div i used the wrong program on the diamond cos i have the tytn aswell so put that program on my diamond and now it is bricked lol the program was hard spl for the tytn or something can`t remember exactly what. can`t get into bootloader or reset as nothing at all and wont start up or vibrate etc can`t get active sync to find phone so i would say 100% bricked lol i am sending the diamond tomorrow for repairs to htc.
what i want to know is as it has a cooked rom and olinex installed and i bought it new from someone who was selling their upgrade will they be-able to tell whats on the phone if it is bricked and then refuse to fix it or cos it is bricked they`ll never be-able to see what rom etc is installed on it??? it was originally on the orange network uk so would that affect the repair??

If you flashed the Tytn SPL to a Diamond, you can forget it, it is a shiny paperweight...
Unless the JTAG points for the device are found it is most definitely a brick.
lol thought as much lol thats what happens when you have more than one phone lol would they know it has a cooked rom installed when they investigate why it bricked? cheers

If they unbrick it, then yes, they will know it has a custom ROM flashed to it. However, they will still fix it and just bill you.
damn lol is there a way of blagging it so if i say i bought the phone with the cooked rom installed already and thought that was the original rom from new?? just play dumb lol is it expensive if they unbrick it?? cheers
just to add that dutty`s rom was great and had nothing to do with me bricking my phone. just incase people interpret me the wrong way and think its a rom problem
morning all my phone is being picked up today and was just wondering if they do fix or reflash my phone will it be back to being locked to the orange uk network again even though i unlocked it??? cheers

HTC will flash the most recent ROM available for your device. If your phone is Orange branded, then that is the ROM they will flash to it.
thanks for that mate but i need to know if it will be locked back to orange uk meaning can i use any sim card or will it be on orange uk only cheers
anyone else with any suggestions please cos i`m getting a bit worried that htc will refuse to repair and if they do how much the cost will be. has anyone from the uk had the same problem and bricked there phone? and how much does it cost for them to repair?? thank you
just an update about my repair got my diamond back today and they replaced the main board cos i bricked the diamond so i have a new imei number and life time call counter is back to zero i never got charged for this repair and now i can even hard reset the phone where before it wouldn`t work so have faith if you have bricked your diamond

Hey, I tried to go from TouchFlo 1.1 to the new 2.0 and bricked my phone, it just got stuck in the process even though I followed all steps.
Now, I bought my device in Germany at an O2 Shop, so its German language with the O2 Bubbles and WM6.
There is no original RUU Rom on the O2 Website so I am still stuck on the brubble screen.
I heard there is no way of unbricking the phone unless o2 releases a RUU for the phone, is that generally true? Should I just get it reprogrammed and pay cash for that
I have seen a post with a http://rapidshare.com/files/32745275/os62.nb file that is apparently extracted from the o2 Wm6 Rom, would that do any good.
Any options??
Kind regards
Pretty much. Just send it back. Is it under warranty?
EIther way, you're completely and totally SOL
Yeah I still got it covered, are they not going to release A RUU for the terra?
I mean, this is Bull****
Guys, I called the o2 support and they say that there is no rom currently for the XDA terra and there is also no annoucement of any coming so it sucks really. I am stuck with a brick in the states where I cannot send it in for repair.
There must be a way to flash it and override the Vendor ID problem isn't there. I can get into the bootloader it's just that I have to somehow flash a new one on there.
Anyone any suggestions?
I am deeply saddened and need help, I need my phone back please understand. I'll try anything!
Hey guys.
i just wanner say first im a noob at phones so dont flame me.
Right, i got a brand new t-mobile compact 2 (htc charmer) with t-mobile rom on it. i really wanner upgrade to Windows mobile 6 so badly but i cannot flash my rom cus it aint unlocked.
So i tried doing it myself with the unlocker this website suggests, but that always fails .
What i think happend is this mda has been updated to the latest t-mobile rom. Which is:3.8.2.21 WWE and the unlocker is only for the old versions.
I actually dont know im right at all. but if anyone can get back to me either by pm, email or If you know your stuff please dont hesitate to add me on msn, and talk me though it. trust me its alot easier to do that then wait for thousens of emails.
Anyway any help will be amazing. remeber im a noob so please dont flame me, i just want to be able to experince the mobile 6 that all you guys are.
Email/MSN: [email protected]
Thankyou so much everyone. I hope you can solve this problem.

You don't have to unlock your phone to flash WM6. Considering you've already flashed the latest t-mob rom, just go to TouchFLO ver. 2.1 thread in Charmer Mobile 6, download the rom, read the instructions and flash. It will work.
Good luck.
Okiess gonner try it now. hopefully it will, will get back to you soon.
Ill describe the entire process.
Nope still not working, wont flash.
I run the flasher bat file the screen stays completely still nothing happens and i donno why. is it cus its not cid unlocked. i know you said it dont, but one of the guys said it did.
Get back to me soon

i flashed my x1 with some rom, and now i flashed it back to the basic rom but i allready have the hard spl mod (debranded x1)
and my keyboard now sucks, i got the bill / and support card
so can i go to the shop where i bought it and get back a new one or repaired one?
do i have guarantee even if i have flashed my x1 ?
thanks !
now u still gotta flash stock spl... just check the sticky threads...
also had tht keyboard prob... hope its not gonna happen again..
Uhm no it wouldnt work right now but if you look at the stickyed threads you will see a way to flash back your normal hardspl and your normal rom this way it will look like just an ordinary branded xperia
i have bought the x1 from a shop in germany
Without any brandings (vodafone,t-mobile,o2)
where i can find the stock rom for it ?
can somebody find a link for this one ?
Not very hard to find...

yeah and which of these ? generic de or what ?
and this ones are all exe files how can i flash them ? cuz i got hard spl on my device.
I wouldn't worry about flashing the HardSPL. I sent my phone back to Sony after flashing and didn't hear a thing. They sent it back reflashed with an official HardSPL and Firmware. There's not much chance of them finding out, and even if they did you could just claim innocence and say you have no idea what they are talking about.
If it's a problem with something that they would need to test with the phone turned on and working however, I would highly suggest you flash the original rom (don't worry about the spl).
Just my advice

ah man!!
extract it (rar,zip whatever) rename to kovsimg.nbh- hard spl
or read the sticky and like Lex said flash stock spl back
and if you wish you can take Zimbabve language, up to you to download one you understand
okay thanks very much, i dont know much about it.. but you helped me.. thanks for the advice.. !
one of my X1 cracked jz beside the back hatch. i've flashed it with cRoms from xda! guess what? i'm still up for warranty as long as the stickers protection the machine inside is still intact.
btw, does x1 comes with guarantee?
Right is just like a pc ... as long as is still in warranty they want care if u have customized it in any way or whatever they just reflash it to latest SE rom ... and repair it
never had problems
Hi,
I have an att tilt (8925). The other day I happend to upgrade the ROM or flash from 6.0 to 6.1 from htc official site there after the phone doesn't get the signal(wireless).
The following is the device information.
ROM Version:3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM Date:07/17/08
Radio Version:1.65.21.18
Protocol Version:25.88.40.05H
Please any kind of help would be really greatly appreciated....
Thanks in advance.
And you used the ATT rom?
Thanks for the reply but I am sorry I am totally new to all this wat do u wat me to do....
yeah looks like you did.
Could you give us more data ?
Where did you find your phone ? Was it unlocked ? Did you do hard-SPL in it ?
What is the OS version, exactly ?
Maybe you must change the Radio, maybe you must flash with another ROM version.
Maybe you only must enable the phone...
Please enter the boot screen and write here all your data numbers (then, switch off the device, you'll boot normally again), and also write all the data you can find in Start-Settings-System-"Device data" (or similar the last screen)
(don't write here the IMEI as it's not needed and could be used for third party people to lock your phone) !!!!!!!!
With all the data we'll know what exactly is your device and what exactly may be happeing to it.
Hi,
I got the phone from ATT with windows mobile 6.1 Professional.

What actually happened and why the difference? Surely if you have an AT&T phone and put an AT&T ROM on it (with no other modifications) as per how AT&T intended, if that causes it to fail, AT&Ts warranty department should be informed and should come to the rescue? If you've already hard reset the phone and tested again (it's important to hard reset after a ROM flash) and have tried reflashing the new ROM again and hard resetting afterwards with the same results, it's time to contact them?

Did you try this process twice (in case of a bad flash)? How do you explain the different Windows Mobile versions you referred to as being on the phone originally? How old is the phone?
Hi,
I tried that not twice but many times....I told you that I originally had win 6.0 then I updated to 6.1 given at htc.com its just out of warranty by a month, its like 13 months old.....

The reason for my question was because in your 3rd post you said the device came with WM 6.1 from AT&T.... My HTC branded TyTN II had a warranty for 15 months from new and even if yours is just out of the warranty period for Tilts, they shouldn't completely ignore you if you can prove the problem was caused by using their ROM upgrade. That said, given no-one else with this phone and ROM has complained about the same issue as you here, either your local celltower has coincidentally failed at the same time as you carried out the flash or some damage has occurred to your device (such as to the aerial sticker perhaps). The simple way to find out would be to test it out in other areas where you know reception to be good, also to revert its ROM/Radio and SPL back to the original Tilt setup. You can find all the required files and instructions here at xda-dev via the wiki about how to do that.
As Flying Kiwi says, you can revert to 6.0...
I'm also intrigated by this change of versions from 6.0 to 6.1 (not WM versions but your posting versions)
Well, le'ts imagine you flashed the correct 6.1 ROM to the correct device (the data you wrote here allow us believe in this, I think, but I'm not an expert in SPL and radio versions). It should work. If not, you may try to download the old SPL and 6.0 ROM and flash them. (You'll find their links somewhere in the Wiki, here). Maybe you need to change the Radio to get the phone working ? Did you use the correct ROM for your S/N device ?
On the other side, you may try to do the entire Hard-SPL process and then flash one of this wonderfuls ROM's you may find here.
Or reverting to the original 6.0 and SPL "from" a cooked ROM ?
I'm thinking about my most terrible enemy, the electricity down, and thought you might download a bad version, or it got corrupted but you could flash it...
Please, don't follow my instructions till one of the masters will read my post and tell if I'm (or not) mistaken.
Hi All,
I thank you frm the bottom of my heart for all your responses, surprisingly when I when to att device support center today they said that my phone is still under warranty and they replaced my phone with a new one....
Thanks,

Hello out there.....
First of all i have to say THX to all these people which are really willing to help every1 with their great tutorials. Ive used alot of them already. Thanks.
And i have to say sorry for my english language, due Im german and i left school behind long time ago. I'm really taken pains to write this comment.
Now, in my case ive tried to restore my device (Xperia X1i) to OEM status step by step as its shown in this thread.
My worst issue is that my touchscreen aint work anymore after i flashed a custom ROM and that i got stock at the point where the ROM wants to configure the OS like "Tap the screen to continue with configuration".
Ive tried to flash way too much ROMs using HardSPL but the touchscreen wont let me do anything - no reaction.
So how can I restore the bootloader (SPL) on my device, when my touchscreen aint work? How can I take the following step without any working ROM ?
sirsycho said:
12. Run SSPL.KAIS.exe from your phone (make sure you do this on your actual device and not your PC)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not know what I did wrong, that the screen wont react anymore, but im sure that the SPL is the cause for this disaster.
I'm really desperate couz i already have sent the device to the SE Support, where they told me that there is an "extraneous" on my device although ive flashed the Stock ROM firstly... there was still something that bothered them...
After i got the device back the touchscreen worked again as funny, allthough the support did nothing on the device as they said in the delivery.
A bit skeptical but with alot of happiness i kept on flashing some ROMs after that.
Now, after i found a good ROM and kept this one on my device for some days the screen doesnt work again.....
This is what my bootloader says right now
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
....seems like the HardSPL is still there......
Honistly i had to apollogize (maybe too late) that this part of using a cellphone (flashing a ROM using HardSPL etc.) is a big fish and that ive underrated it. Now i have a 400$-Device which aint work anymore
Ive read like all Tutorials here at xda-devs containing something about flashing a ROM or informations about SPLs; tried everything
I feel like im lost and fu**ed right now....
Is there any1 can help me with my problem?
Hopefully there is.....i pray for him
first flash a stock rom
then just run the hard-spl exe, and replace the ruu_signed.nbh file
why are you trying to use kaiser spl?
use the things found in the hardspl sticky in the xperia section
Wrong Tutorial
You're using tutorial for wrong device (HTC Kaiser)
The correct tutorial is in first post (extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
But before restoring original hardspl you should flash with original rom found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
wow thanks for your answers !!
i never thought ill get response.
Its really weird that i havnt found that tut before bcuz i was looking through whole board.
I will try do that tomorrow.
I hope that it will work then. Don't wanna pay 300$ for a new device
Else there is mtty to restore the bootloader
Aight i have done the steps showing in the tutorial.
1. I have flashed teh Stock ROM (R2A german - Vodafone)
2. I've used the RUU with the stockSPL given in that post.
Now my tricolour screen shows the following
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
This is what it shall looks like OliNex said.
I hope this is all i had to do, to make use of my device's guarantee, cuz the touchscreen still doesnt work
Seems like i really have to send my Xperia to the Support again (now hopefully with a ROM + SPL they wont reject)
But if i send my device with "extraneous" again i have to pay another 15€ just for let them do a costs estimate -.-
I would like to get a reply before i make use of the support again.
Thanks for all your help
Glad to hear recovering to stock rom + spl worked out.
Your touchscreen doesn't work when you have booted up windows?
If that's correct then I suggest to send in the device for service. Although
it might not help I suggest updating your device with SE updating service (SEUS) first.
After the flash remove the battery for 10 seconds, then turn it on.
Hope it helps and otherwise servicing the device is free of charges
Haha!
That's what im doing right now, using SEUS
Thanks for the tip with the battery but i already tried that way too often
Edit:
Ok, touchscreen still aint work....
Time to contact the support...at 11:45 PM **WOOT
nvm....Ill wait till tomorrow
gn8 and thanks for helping me with my issue ^^
a few days ago I returned my silver X1 for the same issue, my touch screen (digitizer) doesn't work. Then right in front of SE support person, he justed took out the battery and rebooted. Then it worked. The thing is, I did the same thing several times earlier that day and it did NOT worked. I am worrying of getting the same problem again and I only have until november 30th until my 1 year warranty expires. I haven't tried any cooked roms and it is because of warranty purpose. Altough I'm not new to custom roms since I own an Alpine and a Prophet. I've been here for some time now.
The thing that holds me back testing cooked roms on my Xperia is the aftermath if in case my device goes half-dead. I almost always read the restoring on to official roms everytime I get here, but still the thousand dollar spent on my phone's tag price comes with a fear of who's gonna rescue if my phone won't work. And to add that spare parts aren't available here as of the moment. And yes I'm eager and very curious about almost everyone saying cooked 6.5 is faster than stock roms but though I haven't tested it I have to disagree for now on my case basis.
First, my Xperia doesn't come with a carrier lock. It's locally called "open line" in my country I guess technically called debranding. Then my phone has the generic r3a rom via seus I think it's generic uk. Lastly, for some reasons, the touchflo 3d doesn't work with my device I've tried it since r1 firmware time. Some response told me to unlock-debrand my phone first but I dont have to since it isn't locked. Still installing tf3d makes my phone hang, doesn't uninstall, doesn't show in the themes list if installed as a theme, and doesn't let me have another panel since it always stay as tf3d whenever I choose another one. And it is very unstable in my device. These happened even if I install it as a panel.
I feel handsets here are faster than handsets that are locked by a carrier so I'm thinking again since for now, my Xperia works for me as stock as it is.
