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

Hey Chaps,
Just thought earlier today i'd have a go at upgrading my phone with the new HTC firmware for my Vodafone Kaiser. First i tried it on it's own only to find the 'vendor' had blocked the upgrade, then i ran the HARDSPL software, when it rebooted my phone to the tri-colour screen i stopped pressing enter on the batch file and ran the HTC upgrade again! ... success - sort of; the upgrade got to 15% and stopped with a connection error (my usb's dodgy i think), then when the phone rebooted to the tri-colour boot loader it'd a) no longer accept the HTC Rom (vendor thing again) and b) become irritatingly broken.
Is it possible to flash an older vodafone rom to the device? if so, where can i find such a beast. Or does anyone know of any devilish ways to put the new rom on using the bog standard bootloader?
Thanks in advance big time to any clever phone experts who can de-brick my... er... brick
Dan.
your supposed to install hardspl before upgrading it if you try it on its own it will brick it at least thats what i heard from the stickies
azazelx, he has hardSPL installed, anyway.
@JimmyJangle: flash via microSD card. [url="http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash" URL]Read here.[/url]
You need winrar to extract file nbh from the shipped ROM.exe.
Hmm, i don't think i do have HardSPL actually installed,
When i saw the tricolour screen come up with different version information I stopped that batch file that was installing HARDSPL (impatiently) and started the HTC one (which failed at 15%). So now i (think) i have a phone with no firmware and the bootloader says:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD=8
I reckon if i can find a vodafone made rom the bootloader'll let me install it.
Any idea where i could find one?
What is ur orginal shipped ROM?
Your solution now is flash back the orginal ROM by using microSD card method I mentioned above, install HardSPL succesfully, then flash whatever ROM you prefer.
Hey Nghiem,
Thanks for the help, that link doesn't go anywhere though.
Also, wouldn't i need the original rom from somewhere in order to do that?
Thanks,
Dan
where did you buy the phone e.g vodafone, orange, etc...so I can tell you the original ROM? Because you phone CID is not unlock, hence you must flash the back the shippied one.
Get the WM 6.1 Vodaphone official here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058
Hi,
I got the phone from Vodafone in the UK.
It had WM5 on it... erm, that's it.
I've just beem trying to load original voda roms back on to it but it's not happy - i don't know if they really are the originals though, one says 'reconstructed'.
Dan
Actually, that was the rom i tried and it came up with the Vendor ID error.
Dan.
Link on post #6 is the official not reconstructed. How about download directly from Vodafone website? It's strange when you have carrier ID block even with its ROM. Also, try reconstructed ROM listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
Search for mtty, see if it can help you out.
MTTY saved the day!
Only 3 hours of my life lost!
Thanks,
Dan
Cheers. Don't forget to flash HardSPL and read the wiki before doing anything.
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.
So my problem is - I put android on my htc tytn II and it worked (well kinda) but anyway I decided to switch back to Windows Mobile...
I installed 1.27.x.x radio , found a Windows Mobile 6 ROM and put (Like in the instructions ) Kaisimg.nbh(renamed from ruu_signed.nbh) and Kaisdiag.nbh to my SD card and then started flashing... It flashed smth,rebooted automatically and started booting android again...
Then I hold again camera button + power+ reset and since then when I put EVERY .nbh file on my sd card and try to flash it it STUCK on "Loading.." If I try to flash it with USB It stays at 0%.
The only exeption is if I try to flash from USB the rom that I tried to flash before from my sd card.. then it starts 0%..1% and reboot the phone...
P.S: Please help me...I think my device is not Broken but I dont know what should I do to fix it...
To flash back to WM from android put your kaiser into bootloader (multi colored screen) Then connect to usb. Download any WM build that is recent (I suggest Phoenix 3 for this, you can flash whatever you want later). After you download it open and run the included RUU that came with it and it will flash it on there.
hmm, I also had experienced the similar problem on my 1st time flashing back to WinMo.
When you are trying to flash via USB cable and the process stopped at 1% I guess there is also a message about "Invalid vender ID" right?
and if the text in your bootloader (tricolor screen) doesn't mention anything about hard such as "3.29.0000" (not "3.29.hard")
then
you've lost your hard SPL that's why you cant flash any .nbh to your phone.
I had managed to solve this problem by flashing stock WM rom for kaiser. The rom also has to be suitable for your phone, I mean if your kaiser is originally from France, then use French kaiser stock rom. Or if you are using AT&T Tilt use kaiser cingular stock rom.
you can find the list of shipped roms for kaiser here :
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Kaiser/
If you still have the "invalid vender ID" error message, try another stock ROM.
Thanks man you're my hero! I though I lost my phone.. anyway i bought new one - Nokia 2730 Classic but Ill sell the kaiser...
Thanks Anyway ... you're god!
Have the same problem...
Firstly, I'd like to point that the reason for the hard SPL getting overwritten by an original SPL is NOT HAVING UPDATED HARDSPL to a newer version that prevents accidental overwrite. This is instructed in the previous steps before actually installing Android. That was my mistake (I had HardSPL 1.0 OliPof), and now I can't flash no rom to my Kaiser (which thankfully works quite well in Android).
What happens (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that "KAISDIAG.NBH" is a modified, standalone hardSPL that will flash to the phone the SPL that comes with the "KAISIMG.NBH" you put in your SD card with "KAISDIAG.NBH"). In my case, I used the WinMo 6.1 spanish version 3.29.412.0, which, resulted in my phone being flashed with the original SPL 3.29.
Now, it seems many users have fixed this locating the correct stock rom and flashing it in their Kaisers. But to others, like myself, nothing seems to work. I believe that this is because we not only need a stock rom for our specific Kaiser model, but also it has to be compatible with the SPL that accidentally got installed in the phone. The problem is what if such rom doesn't even exists?
I'm really thankfull for all I learned by reading the forums (and from my mistakes ) and I know I'm in no position to make requests, but here goes what I think could help the users like myself to fix this, if posible:
1) Guide to identify what model of Kaiser we have (maybe it's already there, I just couldn't find it)
2) Complete list (or lists) of stock roms (There are some around, those are easy to find I think, but it doesn't hurt to share different sources)
3) Something like a JumpSPL for Android would be more than awesome...
Thanks in advance to everybody, sorry for my own stupidity . Any idea or help would be much appreciated,
Daniel
hmm, I'm not sure if it has to be compatible with the SPL.
In my case, I was flashing a very old WWE stock rom which has original SPL 1.56.
I also had been very desperate because any stock rom I found seems doesn't work and I even didn't know where originally my kaiser came from because I get it from my uncle. So I tried to flash any WWE stock rom I could found but nothing works. I read from Wikipedia that based on my phone model (Kais100), this model was only sold as AT&T tilt for US. But the problem is my phone is HTC branded, not AT&T tilt. Well, based on this information I also tried to flash some cingular stock rom but the result was just the same.
After contacting HTC Customer care, I know more info about my phone. They told me that based on my phone product ID, my kaiser was originally shipped for US, but unfortunately they can't provide me stock rom for my phone model. So I searched myself but this time I had better objective : to search HTC branded rom but for US.
finally, after days of search. I've found the rom that is suitable for my phone. Its called HTC WWE Brightpoint US which has original SPL 3.29 at the bottom of the list on the website I told you on my previous post.
few weeks ago I also accidentally overwrite my HardSPL again, but this time I did it with the stock ROM which has original SPL 3.29. But this problem also solved by flashing the stock ROM I've found before via USB cable.
So, I guess it has nothing to do with spl version.
Keep tying don't give up.
Update: Step 1 completed! YAY
Using the serial number and some obscure google searching, I came to the conclusion my KAIS130 is australian. Cheers, mate!
I verified this by being able to download stock roms from the australian HTC site with my Kaiser serial number. But at the moment of writing this, have downloaded two roms and no luck yet. 5 minutes remaining for the third one... Wish me luck...
Daniel.
Well... Now what?
Tried all four rom-like thingies I could download on the HTC page, all of them returning error 294...
Now what? try to somehow extract the .nbhs from the exes and and use customRUU.exe? Try to flash from SD card?
Please help... Any ideas... I really want to get rid from that original SPL3.29.0000 It's evil!!! I think it won't never let me flash again.
Thanks,
Daniel

sorry to hear that..
well, extract the .nbh from exe and flash it via sd card is the method that made me overwrite my hard SPL in the first place.
hmm, did your phone comes with operator brand, such as three or something?

No, it's HTC unbranded. Now, something strange here: the label behind the battery has the serial number: HT830GB06075 and the P/N (guess it's part number) :99HCY194-00, but to the left of the camera, another label with the part number: 36H00563-00M and below says DATE:061107(TB02)/US.
I don't know if that's normal, but it caught my atention because my phone seems to have been dissasembled (little label over screw is teared). Maybe my Kaiser isn't Australian after all...
Hi, just bought HTC HD7 in HK, unlocked.

have u seen anyone updated there ROM here yet, NO...
there are no ROM updates or upgrades yet... there are group of ppl trying to load WP7 on HD2...
i dont think u can change to european languages yet... not until HTC comes out with a ROM upgrade...
Nut there are room released indeed (check windows phone 7 development forum) and problem is my pc simple cannot see phone when updating...
Both my pcs, and also connecting after booting phone with on + photo button on...
thx anyway, regards
Ok, I did it, or at least I updated rom: powering on the phone pushing volume - takes to boot mode, and then I was able to flash with new ASIA rom, but not with new Euro rom: in this case i get an error 294 invalid vendor...
I suppose it needs the phone to be unlocked and this has not be done (yet ) but my question is... Why un unlocked asian phone is locked against euro roms? HTC should let customers free to change the language of the phone....

It doesnt have anything to do with being unlocked or not.
Its because of the SPL. you will need Hard SPL to be able to flash ROMs from another region, otherwise, you can't.
There is no HSPL for HD7 yet, and the bad news is, no one seems to be working on it
Ok, we'll wait with patience
thx
