Unable to flash

Hi,
I've recently upgraded to the latest radio ROM, no problems there (but it did cause a hard-reset). Now I'm trying to flash FInixNOver's latest ROM. The problem: I run ROMUpdateUtility, the device enteres bootloader mode and... nothing! No flashing, no errors, no nothing. The upgrade fails and I'm stuck in bootloader mode. The weird thing is... soft reset works and I can boot the (already installed) ROM just fine.
Any ideas...?
Thanks!

In which phase are you stuck? some bootloaders leave my trinity with the screen with the colored bands, and then refuse to continue. I launch them again (with some anxiety) and everything continues correctly. I had this probably 20 times and never a problem - but i don't understand why. It is probably a timing matter....

I'm stuck in the three-colour screen. A soft reset boots up the device properly, but it does not flash. However, I've successfully managed to flash by using the SD card method.

i always get stuck, as i was saying, in the three color screen. The windows bootloader complains it cannot continue, i simply relaunch the windows bootloader without doing anything on the trinity. Actually, i doubt it has some relation with the bepe's kitchen, since it didn't happen with NetDrg french rom....but i have exactly the same problem with the present (great) tnyynt roms...good anyway you had solved your problem somehow. it also could depend on the Hard-SPL version you are using.

Yeah, I thought the SPL could be the cause.
However, knowing that the SD card method works is reassuring.
Thanks.

my hard-spl comes from olipro:

Regards,

I had the exact same issue, i re-installed my Olipro Hard SPL v3.2 (if you are running a 3600i be sure to get the specific version).
Tried flash once again, all was fine!

Other thought, it has happened to me, when it is in the bootloader, tri-colour, just run the upgrade again. i had that with some ROMs.

I tried that many times, it didn't work.
Thanks for the reply, though.

Have you unlocked your Jade?

Hi, I have been reading this forum for some weeks and I am thinking of unlocking my Touch 3G by using this Hard-SPL thing which is available here.
However I am still hesitating because I have never done such an "intervention" in the past, so please allow me to ask you if you did it and if yes if it worked without problems (from the thread I wasn't able to understand if more that 2-3 people have really succedded!)
Thanks, lila

I actually tried few times yesterday and today, but I am getting "Server is down" message .

i manage to solve it. how? i have exit my antivirus, then, go to control panel/windows firewall and put it on off, and will work. each time, i have install enablerapi.cab on device memory.

I disabled firewalls and antivirus software. I tried on three different computers with different (working) access to internet. Still no joy . I guess I will try later.

I've unlocked my Jade without any problem, but to be honest i didn't flash another ROM yet because i want to be sure i can go back to original one (just in case of waranty), and i don't know how to rebuild my dumped original ROM.
I'm still trying to figure this out, gonna succeed as long as i keep reading this excellent forum.
Anyhow, flashing a new ROM isn't that difficult, but you have to follow the guidelines very well and keep on your reading glasses..)

Hi. I am very happy Thank you OLINEX. I have HTC 3G (Jade 100) I make HARD SPL and I install http://rapidshare.com/files/15981107...30.09_Ship.exe
rom. It is very good rom and stable. Now I have english language and my phone rings best. Thank you OLINEX.

So, I finally got it to work. I will post my "story" to Hard-SPL thread .

i did it with the first attempt with v3, no problem and i'm really happy

Hard-SPL
With hard-spl you will not unlock your jade . It´s only necesary to upload others roms to device.

Ca you post your story please maybe you can give us a little help.
Thank you

no luck with the one i tried, just restarts. dont know why this phone is so special, every other one ive done is so easy.
stock loader version is 1.40.707.2 tried using windows xp sp3 .net3.5, tried using hardspl v2 and v3 (tried v2 just in case that worked)

the link is dead!!

lots of problem, the HardSPL from Oli doesnt work, but the radio update from HTC works

keep trying and win
SPL does work. But you must keep trying. I got "server down"
and so on. After a week and hundred times try, I got unlocked the phone.
Now I can enjoy any wm6.5 roms. It is free software and not perfect.
But It does the job . well done Olipro and Cmonex.

Which phone do I have ?
My phone is supposed to be a Touch 3G but the processor is a Marvell PXA310 @ 624 MHZ.
The phone says it's a T3238, can someone tell me which phone I have please?
It's a clone I think.
When I boot holding the volume key I get a white screen saying USB update model

Hi,
I have a TOUCH 3G and I did the HARD-SPL. The better thing in here is that developers and always available to help you. For example, i had some problems doing hard-spl to my Jade but with the help of cmonex(developer) i've done it without any problems. You have a lot of support in here. SO, If I were you, I would do it.

it works like a charm
hi
Yes i did my HSPL today and it worked like a charm it was so easy and
i had a gene(P3400i) and the HSPL for this phone was so difficult
compare to the HSPL for Jade
the Jade HSPL took only around 10-15 mins
now i need to flash some cooked rom will do it today right now downloading ironegles ROM
Note : u need to off ur Firewall or it wont work OK

Weird Problems & Diamond almost dead (software/ROM)

Some days ago, i've flashed my phone to get an "up-to-date" ROM. I chose "PDACornerIllusion 21139" of 2009.03.06. All went fine excepting the keyboard of my GPS wont work anymore (dunno why of course), so i re-flashed with another ROM.
I was surprised that my phone kept the CornerIllusion BootScreen, but i didnt care.
All of a sudden, after having soft reset the ROM i chose (the 2nd one), for an installation of some proggie. The ROM restart as brand new asking me to reset the screen, the clock, date etc... losing all my content and customizations. Then i couldnt sync with Outlook after the first sync i've done minutes ago (error code 800004005). I've decided to soft-reset the phone, and now, TF3D wont even start, (it selft tries to start several times, then gives up), AND the programs lists is all broken, no shortcuts left and the games folder is named *h1/4Eg+ç^, nothing works anymore.
I flashed with about 4 roms (including Aztor one), resulting in the same mess.
Does it have something to do with the first one "PDACornerIllusion 21139" and its still remaining BootScreen?
Can i flash my phone from its roots, to get rid of this ?
As it's maybe not the "fault" of PDACornerIllusion, i write this in this section of the Diamond general thread and made a double post at PDACornerIllusion development thread

I suggest you perform a hard reset before flashing any new rom and that you use the traditional "flash-from-PC-using-ActiveSync-connection" method to flash.
And above all I wish you luck!

What was the other ROM you flashed? I am curious.
rondol1 suggests you hard reset prior to flashing a new rom. I suggest you hard reset after flashing a new rom. Net result is probaby much the same. You could even just do a hard reset now with whatever is loaded and things will probably improve. Main thing is...whenever you flash a rom do a hard reset straight after loading it. I always do this religiously and with the exception of one recent rom I tried I have never had a problem.

First of all, thank you both for trying to suggest hints, i really appreciate it.
I've never hard reset the ROM before or after having installed a new one. I never have a problem before.
For the last 2 months, i was on NEON 1.28, then i've decided it was time to update seeing the new features of the more up-to-date ROMs
I've just reflashed it (an hour ago) with PDACornerIllusion 21139, i've hard reseted before and after. let's see how it turns out ....
I've tried NATALY, CLOUDY, MORNA & AZTOR, no luck with any of them, all died after a soft reset or after the 1st sync (reconnecting for a 2nd sync).
Maybe the problem comes from the very root of the phone (like BIOS in a PC, dunno), maybe something in there got corrupted. How to repair it if my guess exists and is it repairable?

There in lies the problem.
I bet you will be fine from now on. Don't ask why you need to do the hard reset - as no one has been able to give a definitive answer - But it is a well known step that many chefs recommend post flash - just do it from now on and you wont regret it.

completely agree with logger - hard reset after you flash any ROM. I haven't used PDACorner - so can't say for sure... but do the flash via CustomRUU once... when the new ROM is flashed... do a hard reset as soon as it's complete..
good luck!

let's see then, >>>>crossing fingers<<<<

I've had this happen a lot lately as well. Might have something to do with the newer SYS? Anyway, hard reseting hasn't always fixed it for me. However, flashing back to the Sprint stock ROM (or HTC stock for you GSM guys) then flashing a new custom ROM has always done the trick. Maybe because the stock ROMs are bigger and "clean" out the memory somehow? At any rate, flash stock and then you're good to go. No permanent damage.

no luck, after a 2nd soft-reset, the phone is asking "touch the screen to configure for the 1sy use blablabla", all data's lost again & again...
what do you mean by stock Rom ? the rom that came with my phone when i've bought it ?

I've got the same problem with the Diamond rebooting like a hard-reset. But I always did a hard-reset after a fresh install. I blamed it on the rom and tried several others, including donsalari's "Clean Basic Rom", the Gen.Y Sense 2.1 and 2.5 versions and an older Aztor rom. Same problem every time, the first reboot after changing the device locale works fine, then I set the whole phone up properly and on the next reboot it will come up as if had performed a hard reset.
Additionally, the file system on my internal storage got corrupted somehow, had to reformat. At some point, I also had the impression that data on the phone memory got lost gradually. First the Contact's numbers got replaced by some nonsense characters, then there were numbers and contacts missing, and finally I had no contacts at all. ActiveSync stopped working so I was in the middle of a trip without my phonebook...
I've got two hypotheses:
1) The Gen.Y bootloader messed with the phone (Had tried the Sense 2.5 Gen.Y rom before donsalari's)
2) Flash controller or Flash itself is broken
@dunnno: I suggest you rename the thread to something like "diamond hard-resets on 2nd reboot after rom install"
edit: oops, just realised I resurrected a very old thread... Maybe there's a fix already?

My diamond still suffers from this problem. I tried it again and again with different roms but everytime, at some point all my configuration is lost and the diamond reboots like after a fresh install. Can anyone please help?

I'm having this problem as well :|
Grr, I have to rely on my phone for so much, but it just doesn't want to work correctly.
Help is immensely appreciated.

Well, I got mine to work, I just flashed the stock HTC ROM and everything has gone back to normal. H3PO, I suggest you give that a shot if you are still having problems.

I had these problems when I first started flashing my Diamond with custom roms.
Now I always flash my carrier stock rom first, then hard reset, then flash custom rom, then hard reset and I never have any problems. I have no idea why flashing the stock rom first stops the problems but I haven't had any problems with the dozens of roms I've flashed using this method.
Also I always flash from internal storage, but others prefer using MTTY

I still have some problems with the Contact Database, but flashing some stock O2 Rom solved the "reboot as new" problem.

Help, BIG problem

Guys I have a big problem, please try to help me.
Ive been having my Touch Diamond for over a year now. I started to flash it 6month ago. I followed all the steps with Hard SPL and radio and then ROM.
I have been using BSB6.5 roms since the first day. But now recently when I upgraded to bsb6.5.1b, my phone after a couple of hours or (if am lucky) one day hangs, then I soft reset it then it takes long time to start then suddenly ALL applications and programs in the phone starts and then the phone warns me about program memory and then it hangs. I tried to flash over and over again but the problem still come back. Could someone please help me ? Someone had the same problem?
(I ALREADY SEARCHED FOR A THREAD WITH THE SAME PROBLE)

wow that is strange, try going back to a wm 6.1 rom than back to your 6.5 roms. Sometimes this causes quite a few weird problems like yours.
and remeber to hard reset at least twice between roms

I´ve read before in a thread how to reset the phone (boot, Hardspl, rom) back to its original form/condition. I tried to search and find that thread but i couldnt find it. Do you got an idea where I can find it ? I thought maybe I can try to do everything from scratch will help.

Is this wot you need big http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537496

ooh yes...thanks man appreciate

i would recommend you try the mtty method once:

yeah he has a point big, use mity to format your device, maybe you solve the problem without having to flash stock spl

ROM Problem

Hi all,
i have a Problem, i have insalled a few roms, and with every ROM i got the same errors.
i Cant install CABs - always installations faild
when i disable some Tabs @TF then touchflow hang up, i have to reboot - then it freezed to, then i have to clear intern memory and cutomize it again ...
When i try it again, the same ****. I have treid 3 ROMs, always the same ****.
Has anyone a Hint for me?

Mmmm...
Isn't that the definition of insanity... repeating the same things, expecting a different result?
There are two things you can do here. The first one works for me every time I get crazy, random behaviour from a ROM. The second, I have never needed, but apparently it works wonders. I am, of course, assuming that you hard reset your device after flashing ROM's??!!
1. Flash a stock ROM from HTC, hard reset, then flash a custom ROM of your choice, then hard reset again. This will solve a million issues and then some.
2. Search XDA for MTTY. Don't ask me what it does, or how it does it, but it also cures a load of issues like yours.
