After flashing the rom for WM 6.1 with error flashing, my P3600i bricked and could not load into window mobile, there is error 270 when installation the hard spl or any cooked rom. And check by the softawre mtty with command task 32, the cid level become FF, so I could not flash any rom because it is not supercid.
First, I need to clarify that, the P3600 not equal to P3600i, so the unbrick method of P3600 could not apply for the P3600i.
After reading many messages from forum xda, it is know that the P3600 could use the splxploit to unbrick the P3600, it is a easy way for P3600 to unbrick and then install other WM rom. However, because the rom size is different, the splxploit could not make the P3600i unbrick.
It is know that another method is using the mini SD card with fat 32 format, and Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card, then go to the engineer mode for flashing, however, I think that this method is flashing like using the USB connect PC, and for the P3600, could find the official rom to solve the bricked problem.
Finally, I found the gold card solution from the page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard
, this may be the solution to unbrick the P3600i, it is because it is making the ppc become a supercid, so you have the right to flash another rom, but this is still very complex for other models p3600i to try it.
For the conclusion, there is still not brilliant method to unbrick the P3600i except the senior member that have their professional method. Eg. Flashing the rom with other equipment directly. I think there is only two methods for me to unbrick the P3600i, but I still could not do it.
1. Flashing the official rom for your p3600i the level is "CID", only could install with the official rom. But I could not find any HTC official rom for for P3600i. You need to find the official rom that match with your P3600i, and then you could flash it in the engineer mode or mini SD card method.
2. To cheat the internal OS, making the "CID" level to "SUPERCID", like using the gold card method to unbrick and then install another rom, but this method is still very complicated for P3600i.
3. Wait.......
Futhermore, I have tried the SD card flashing method, format the SD card to fat 32 and tried to flash the p3600i with the official rom, which not same as the CID. The result is failed, so for the conclusion, the SD card flashing method same as flashing the rom from the computer, it is just using another method to flash only.
For the gold card method, I have tried to make the gold card which could jump over the CID check by the SD card, I am following the procedure of the ELF gold card, with the software of QMAT,however, when I generate the HTC gold card for my bricked device's key of trinity, the QMAT software auto shut down, so I could not generate the HTC gold card, I have tried to generate the HTC gold card for Elfin, that's is OK, but I could not use the sd card to boot my device to supercid. And finally, I could not success to flash the rom.
Finally, I have asked the HTC support to provide me the official rom because they haven't released it. They told me that the rom could not give me because this is the original rom and not the update rom, so could not give me, and suggest me send back to HTC for checking. So
I send back the p3600i to the HTC service center for checking and repair, because they have the official rom for my device CID: HTC__601, I think they just flash the device with the HTC official rom, then the device is unbricked. However, the result is very disappointed, they tell me that I need to replace the mainboard for the device to work again, because out of warranty, the price of change mainboard is very expensive (could buy another new model), I argued with them about why the fail of flashing rom, is software the problem, need to change the mainboard, they said this is the only solution to solve the problem, so I rejected their suggestion and got back my bricked P3600i.
I can only to wait for the soultion about how to unbrick the P3600i now.
Waitng the expert to
1. making splxploit for p3600i (because p3600i is 256 Mb rom)
2. the goldcard method, it is difficult to borrow the wm device from other because I dont know there is any risk for the wm
I don't know if I can help you but will try since this forum has helped me.
My P3600 is basically screwed. It's a walking zombie brick phone.
Why zombie? Because I bring it back from the dead everytime!
I dropped my phone quite badly twice in a day a few days back,
Next day I woke up... my pocket alarm had hung and I had to hard reset because a soft reset brought about the Tri-colored bootloader screen.
After that, everything was GONE... so I decided I might as well load a new up-to-date ROM. Was using Akeo's rom happily before that.
Did the usual SPL routine, new radio, new OS rom.
Installed new stuff...
But then phone would continually enter bootloader screen most of the time when I did a soft-reset. Except that it would have a terrible error message that only gave me the option of trying to restart without changes or basically reset everything to original settings (or something like that which meant everything is gone again). With the error message in place... nothing would work.
Could not reset into normal bootloader. (without the error message)
Windows mtty.exe method could not connect. (it would under normal bootloader)
Activesync was obviously disabledsync.
Flashed radio, spl and OS roms repeatedly using Des' SSPL and Olio's HardSPL 1.20 and 1.30 to no effect. It would always come back with that error on a random reset.
Then I read about the method of flashing with SD card. But this didn't solve my problem... it would come back still after a reset.
Mtty.exe from Windows XP to format nand and mark bad blocks etc.
Nothing found.
Finally, I almost gave up.
Then out of desperate measure.
I decided to leave a copy of a TRINIMG.nbh in the SDcard for GOOD!
It's basically an SPL image. Done with the NBHutil.
Used it to split out the HardSPL 1.30 spl.nb and merged it with the splash.nb and sub-splash.nb from my current OS rom.
Everytime I reset... there's still a chance it will enter bootloader mode with that horrible error message. But in such a situation... I now simply choose not to reset settings to default and instead simply pull out the battery.
Then plug it back in and power it on again. 80% of the time... it boots back into Windows mobile like normal on the first try! No loss of settings... nothing nasty. Back to normal! The other 20% of the time? I just pull out the battery and power it on more times! Till it works! Hasn't failed me yet in 5 days. Mind you, I was bricking it twice a day before this. That's progress!
I simply use SPL backup to make a full backup anyway whenever I install any new software etc, contacts etc.
Give it a shot.
I don't know why it worked for me...
Maybe I have bad sectors or something where the SPL is.
Whatever it is... the SDcard's TRINIMG.nbh works as my SPL now.
Think of it as a case of a bad bootup sequence on an old dos system needing a backup msdos bootdisk to do the trick!
Good luck!
Hard SPL 1.30 should be SuperCID and having that boot from SDcard may resolve your flashing issues. IF IT WORKS!
Thank you for your experience, I will try your method later!

I did not try another method because I have borrowed my P3600i for my friend to help me unbricked. And finally, he was done.
My friend tell me, he is trying the old official rom of P3600, he tells me that he dumps from his P3600, I dont know how he dumps and then he is using the hex editor to MODIFY (HEX EDIT) the ROM FOR THE P3600i. You could refer to this page for the modify method
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399779". And finally could success to flash the rom.
I think for the P3600i user, you could try the official rom of P3600, of the same location, for modifying the rom size, and then try to flash the bricked p3600i.
Now I could install the hardspl and try another cooked rom again.
Thank the help of my friend.

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.
Need a favours over here. Recently, i bricked my trinity. P3600 more precisely Dopod D810 (i flashed wrong ROM -> Unpacking cooked rom for trinity but i merge it with -Hermes cmd in NBMerge! houh... so stupid! ). Soo... just not what i expected, Rom flashing stop on half, SR my trin and tada.... 3Color screen bootloader popup! haaarggg, i try flashing another rom using any rom that has same CID *official or cooked rom* (some are 100% thru, but someother not) but like usual it won't start the windows (just blank/black screen with green led[ always on!) Never been like this before! Have been flashing several times using any cooked rom by great chef on trinity but this time! :doh: damn it! my bad.
i found solution on the forum *Unbricking Trinity Stuck on Bootloader* but since my usb port can't be detected on my vista/xp machine, whether i disable AS and changed my usb cable it doesnt work at all, on mtty too! so i can't use that utility. i try run install sspl olipro 1.3 but it never changed my spl at all. now i can't use my trin at all cuz allready dead.
btw this is the info on trin 3color screen bootloader:
IPL 1.00
SPL 3.20 OLIPRO
anysolution for bringing back my trinity from the death? maybe a tools/utility to unbrick trinity from SD or something like that, which not involved any pc connection, without bring this devices to htc center of course.
I hope any expertise on this forum would helped me sort out this probs.
Sorry for my english and thanks for reading my post.
Read this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308691 download splxploit-windows.zip (935.1 KB, 7619 views) put phone in bootloader run splxploit when bootloader change
After this download full rom here is link:http://rapidshare.com/files/21174752/RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.exe
Then flash full rom bat do not disconnect usb cable in any step.
Before use any step disable active sync.
Usb are dead
Gsmhacks thanks for ure reply. I have tried that one, and lot read ing on wiki. But since i cant use the usb i cant use that splexploit whether on live linuxcd, or .Net version even win version. The usb port cant be opened . I think i broke the usb pin. From the beginning everytime i flashed my trin i never used ruu utility, i always do the sd card method and that is the best and easiest method and it works for me.
I just curious perhaps can anyone or is there any utility to unbrick trin via sd card. I knew a lot a people has bring their trinity life from dead by using htc stackflow splexploit. I hope that was work for me too! Too bad my usb are dead. Damn!
Here what you need bat only work if you have hard spl
If you install hard spl before brick trinity you can use SD CARD to flash trinity. YOu need to formate sd card to FAT32 with Card Reader donwload full rom here is link: http://rapidshare.com/files/21174752/RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.exe
then extract and file RUU_Signed.nbh rename to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
Here is full instruction again also first format sd card to FAT32 !!!! VERY IMORTANT to format sd card to FAT32 or all other step will not work THEN:
1. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract (or you can also use winrar via wine).
2. Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
3. With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
4. You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
5. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
6. When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
and you will flash and unbrick trinity bat this only work if you install before this hard spl i mean cid unlock trinity. if not you must fix usb port.
That will work? I hope so
Ok then i'll try flashing using that rom. Oo, i have install hardspl btw and so far flashing using sdcard method no probs. But after i bricked my trin flashing doesnt smooth like be4. Always gave me error 0018003 update fail on the halfway, i guess because i have bad nand on trin and probably cuz cooked rom.
Can u give me another link, perhaps on xda ftp. rapids so slow 4 me. Btw i have download dopodasiawwe official rom on xda ftp *twice but still when i tried to run the package it gave me corrupt archive integrity fail w!f.
Thanks gsmhackerns, i downloading the package now!
Perhaps you can find a way to make a goldcard for Trinity?
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437996
That's what i looking for! Thanks.
Humm, superb. Yay, great! Thank you stepw. Even its for elf with a little mod i hope this will work. Once again thank you.
Stepw, i have tried making the gold card, everything went ok.

Rapidshare crap! perhaps on xda ftp.
thanks!
goldcard cannot help in such a situation.
I can however make an SSPL that loads off SD card - just like for kaiser you will be able to use it because you are already on hardspl.
then that will allow you to flash stock SPL.
PM me and send your MSN address, so we can test it out. if it works i'll post it in this thread too in case others get stuck also

Indeed. Youre right cmonex, it doesnt make any difference at all 4 my trin. After several tried using and making goldcard 4 trin, finally i made working goldcard4trin, but gosh it still stuck when i tried to update the os (update os fail) humm anyone.
Sorry for wasting your time with Goldcard, I have overlooked that you have a hard spl on your Trinity. In this case goldcard doesn't make a lot of difference.
And there's no trindiag.nb to the best of my knowledge that could be used instead of SSPL cmonex is suggesting to run from SD.
Back to the topic, sounds like you have some "bad" blocks in flash and OS can't be flashed. Bad blocks can be reset with "task 2a" command, see this thread for more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330496
The question is how to run it without USB and I don't have an answer for you
Some people have previously mentioned they managed to flash smaller OS images when larger images failed, perhaps if you try flashing some minimal vanilla ROM, it will succeed?
Bad NAND, Yup!
Ya... as i mention before yup i do have bad nand block on my devices. Using manila rom with smaller img size the flash went 'OK'. But it doesn't boot at all infact just black screen with green led on.
Okay the only solution probably use mtty and do task 2a if i'm not mistaken. But like you said "The problem is the USB port". I think the port is ok cuz i already tested it connecting my usb to my trin without inserting the battery and the red led *magenta* is on. humm, weird!
But if something can make it working without involving any pc connection it would be a great achievement. hahah! well i supposed i have to put my trin on bunker before someone can make it happens
I asked SEA in my country and they recommend me to changed the machine it self and they charge me around US $160 ho...ho.. too "wideeeeee" for college boy like me
Same problem, i flashed the rom
RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship
and after that i tried to flash a new radio!
power+cam and the cell phone did not show usb, then i used sspl to rum the radio but it locked at 0%
after that it is stucked at bootloader screen
ipl 1.0
spl 3.20 .....
but no usb and no sd card !!
did i lost the cell phone?
there is no jtag ou something like that ?
so now... you still want this SSPL? i'm thinking of patching one up to automatically run task 2a maybe. or just restore stock spl for warranty service if that's what you have in mind. but you didn't really reply to that offer?
Please if you could build a sspl for this condition it would be enough because once sspl i can run a new ruu with hard-spl again ! the problem i believe was caused becaus this original rom's have a spl.nb inside , in the screen we read teh information about the olipro spl but i thing teh original spl.nb messed up the hard spl!
There is another problem, i formated to fat32 my card and put a TRINIMG.nbh of a rom inside and he did nothing!! same card in elf with ELFIMG.nbh of a rom runs great!!
It means that this spl of mine will not flash from card? goldcar would help?
and cant i flash something in serial ? like a jtag or something?
Anyhelp will be more than apreciated!
sorry the bad english
Needed!
Cmonex, sorry for longtime haven't seeing this thread again. okay i really need your help btw if you willing to help me. The spl your talking about perhaps can sort out the probs (i hope) at least we tried. as for task2a cmd to clear the bad nand block is none usefull for me since usb conn. are definitely drop dead.
how about patch the SSPL to do task2a cmd to solve the bad NAND block first.

no usb, no sd, no chance sorry. jtag it or get it serviced or get another phone.
as for jtag, hermes jtag has been worked out by scholbert. trinity is probably the same, but you will have to find the pins. the rest of the process will be the same.
Dear all,
I can't go to bootloader screen ..fff before I had on my trinity faman 4.03 rom and I would change with the NiAX rom... after 3% restart and I think that my phone brick and my phone stay on htc screen fff please help
I have windows vista and even if i follow all steps pfff it changes nothing...after hard reset ...fff please help ...
I think my trinity is out :-(????????????????????????
Please help,
The O.S is more important to these operations than can be stressed - for a 99% safe flash Win XP is your best bet , I have had nothing but error 260,270 halfway flashed roms and usb faults running on vista and since I had my original bricking episode - NOTHING , I repeat NOTHING including genuine roms has flashed without a recovery or at least without doing something strange in the process - SPLXPLOIT has been a saviour here , without it I would've been lost.
Cant the O.P simply use another machine to test out the USB theory ?
ALIVE AGAINnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!
My p3600 was stucked att bootloader, and wont give "usb" and do not read TINIMG.NBH (tried on elf with ELFIMG.nbh and the card was great)!
I did a golcard with the post on elf about it and the cell with the gold card inside was the same, no trinimg.nbh and no usb.............
BUT..............
with the goldcard inside, turned OFF, i placed it on the usb cable off the pc and the device booted to the bootloader screen, but this time he got "USB" , before flashing anything i removed the card , and putted switched off in the usb, booted with "serial" with card and pressing power and then placing usb still "serial" message!
I putted the card, did not switched on , placed on the usb and waited for it to boot for it self , and for my surprise "usb".
Flashed stock rom, and it booted nice!!!
Please try!
saved my day!

I have to know how to repair my phone please... nobody can explain precisely how to put my phone on bootloader using my sd card directly from my computer under vista...???
OK. Decided to upload a new ROM as my phone was getting slow and unusable.
It's an O2 XDA (Touch Diamond) with:
Touchflo v3 Build 29946
ROM 1.93.206.6 WWE
09/08/08
Radio 1.00.25.05
Protocol 52.29.25.12H
Boot R1.00.25.05
I downloaded Olinex's unsigned developer Hard SPL and I extracted the NBH file and renamed it DIAMIMG.NBH following the advice here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
On soft reset I pushed the vol down and back buttons to get the boot loader stripes, then let go.
I now have a screen which says "Loading..." and has done for 20 minutes. I have now got the phone on charge while I wait for some help to see what to do next, just in case this is a critical stage - don't want to brick it.
Reading through again I am concerned that this was a procedure for rom upgrade not Hard SPL install, can someone tell me please?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Well, I ended up taking the battery off to get it to reboot. It seems to boot fine back into the old ROM.
I still intend to upgrade it (to SwiftBL's v7.5) but have a few questions:
1. Can the HardSPL be run from the internal storage card? If so is it simply running the exe from the unpacked zip from within a folder? ActiveSync is a bit too flaky for me.
2. Do I need the SIM card in the phone at any stage of the ROM upgrade?
3. On the original ROM I get a drop down menu to setup the phone to the UK O2 network settings. If I load a new ROM, will I need to know these settings?
Cheers
1. HardSPL cannot be run from storage. Only Activesync or Bootloader
2. No. You can flash without SIM card
3. You can use connection setup on any new ROM. Usually starts straight after initial setup.
OK here's where I'm at now.
Downloaded jockyw2001's HardSPL 1.24
Ran it and it got as far as prompting me to run on the phone. I said 'Yes' and the HTC screen went black as expected.
Next stage was to run the DiamondCustomRUU.exe file which I did but this is waiting for ActiveSync. ActiveSync will not sync with the phone now, I guess because the phone is not 'on'?
Where do I go from here?
Use the Hard-SPL in my sig with your RUU.
Thanks, will do (it's not the one mentioned in the ROM author's description though).
So how do I recover the phone from the black screen now? Is it safe to remove the battery to reset?
Battery pulled after reading this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-427945.html
I'll try the SPL you mentioned now.....
Had a good search but can't find out. This Olinex zip contains just one file RUU_Signed.nbh.
Where do I get the other files from to run this?
use the attached . It has the RUU exe and the nbh.
Thanks. This is a signed version I see, was going to use SwiftBL's ROM which requires unsigned.
May take a look at other roms that use signed unless you think that I can load the SwiftBL rom with this version?
Hi, i'm totally new to flashing phones etc. I have a tytn II and was running windows 6 on it.
I Flashed it with Hard SPL, and then downloaded TPC 23053 Titanium Ultimate. It's the one on the thread that says you don't need to flash a stock ROM first.
I flashed it and all went fine, booted up and alligned the screen etc. It then rebooted itself then loaded back up. All seemed to be ok, sound and camera wasn't working. In the fourth post of the titanium thread, it says the recommened SPL and radio.
which are Recommended SPL 3.34 Radio 1.70.18.02
So i downloaded both, flashed the SPL and then the radio. Now when i boot i get a black and white image of a tribal kind of dragon. It asked me to setup the phone again so i alligned the screen again. Sound and camera now worked.
However, i was usuing it for a while and then for some reason programs stop loading, it says something like, it's write protected or make sure you have the correct security permissions. When i plug into the pc i can't get anything off the storage card or the phone, it says permission denied.
So when i reboot the phone, it keeps asking me to setup again so i lose all my contacts that i have added etc. I can turn the phone on and off and it's fine, but then eventually does the wierd permissions and access denied thing and when i reboot always asks me to setup the phone.
Can anyone help me as to why this is doing this? I read something about CID unlock etc, is it to do with that because i didn't perform this step.
Not sure why everytime i reboot the phone it asks me to setup the phone again, sometimes it doesn't, it's usually after it stops letting me open programs.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
Maybe reflash.
You should have posted this in the thread made for the rom.
Thanks for the reply, sorry it's in the wrong place.
Can i flash back to windows 6, is this possible as titanium is 6.5 and do you know where i can find the "stock rom" for the tytn ii.
I think the problem is i didn't flash to stock rom first, but i was already running the stock rom. What was on itwhen i bought it from the shop so it's the same thing isn't it?
Obviously you must have flashed Hardspl and sim/cid unlocked your phone. Upgrade your hardspl reflash with a stock 6.1 rom from the wiki .I know it says that you don't have to flash stock first, but when flashing 6.5 roms, it is always a good to flash stock first to clean out the extended rom.
Flash a stock rom , flash ultimate, hard eset and the set up.
Thanks, i will try it now. I'm following these instructions. Do i need to do all of this including the bootloader, or just to restore the OS to step 2? Also once done do i need to reinstall HardSPL?
1. Get the original ROM for your device (HTC or ATT)
2. Flash the OEM ROM to your device (this will restore your OS but not the bootloader, we'll get to that below)
3. Copy the ROM to a temp folder and extract it, I use WinRAR, just right click on it and select "Extract to Here"
4. After extracting the ROM you should have a several files here, one called RUU_signed.nbh is the one we're looking for. Copy this file to another empty temp directory.
5. Download NBHExtract and follow the instructions in the link to extract the NB files from the ROM (essentially just copy nbhextract.exe to the temp folder where the nbh file is and run it from a command line - like so C:\temp\kitchen\>nbhextract.exe RUU_signed.nbh
6. You should now have several .nb files in that directory, the one we're interested in is the 01_SPL.nb.
7. Now you have to create an NBH file with just the SPL, to do that download htcrt (HTC Rom Tool).
8. Run the tool and under the ROM Builder tab select Kaiser, the rest on the left side doesn't matter right now. On the right side of this window click the "..." next to SPL and select the 01_SPL.nb you extracted from the OEM ROM. This should be the only thing added under Firmware Contents. Click Build ROM.
9. You should now have a NBH file that is relatively small (about 258K), copy this NBH file to a new empty directory
10. Download pof's KaiserCustomRUU.exe and put this in the same directory used in step 9. Don't run this yet.
11. Download pof's SSPL-KAIS.exe and copy it to your phone
12. Run SSPL.KAIS.exe from your phone (make sure you do this on your actual device and not your PC)
13. When you have the bootloader screen on your phone run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the folder used in step 10.
14. After it's finished verify your SPL by holding down power and camera buttons while doing a soft reset.
15. Send your device back for warranty repair or replacement.
No you don't have to do all that. That is just if you want to restore your phone for warranty return. All you have to do is go to the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs and download a stock rom to your desktop. Connect your phone and run the RUU and follow the onscreen.
After your phone is flashed with stock, just reflash Ultimate the same way.
First however , enter bootloader , depress camera and power button while soft resetting, and check your spl, if it is still 1.0 olipro , upgrade it first to 3.29 or 3.34 using this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498320
Once your phone is hardspl'd you never have to do it again
Thanks very much for your help. I have 3.29 on there at the moment, should i flash to 3.34, then flash to stock rom, and then to ultimate again.
Or flash stock rom, then 3.34 SPL and then ultimate?

You can do it both ways it doesn't matter since you already have hardspl on your device and basically you are updating the current 3.29 to 3.34 to have a better performance with the ultimate rom.
I downloaded 3.34 SPL, and transfered the 3 files, JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe and JumpSPL1.93-KAIS etc to my device, it then says to take the battery out.
However, when i do this my device hard resets, i have to setup the phone again. Because it hard resets it deletes the 3 files so i can't run JumpSPL1.56
How important is taking the battery out after transferring the files to my device. How can i get round this, shall i just run the file without removing the battery?

No, it's important to remove it. How long are you leaving the battery out for? And was it over 50% charge before you removed it?
I'm assuming you followed steps 1-4 to the letter.
1. Copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe and JumpSPL1.94-KAIS.exe to your device memory (NOT STORAGE CARD)
2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step IS important) *DONT turn phone back on yet*
3. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS!!
4. Turn phone back on and let it boot back into your operating system
It sounds like there could be a hardware problem from all the hard resets happening there. Have you made sure that the reset button at the bottom is functioning correctly and isnt blocked by any dirt etc?

I wouldn't complicate things that are more than clear. The intructions literally says the following: 2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step IS important) *DONT turn phone back on yet*. Just follow them, probably mskip for doing this tutorial spent a lot of time "trial n error". It really won't take anytime to do this step
Yep i follow those steps. I leave the battery out for about 30 seconds as it says. But obviously it hard resets so i can't do this at all as the files aren't there when i put battery back in. I have to set up the phone again.
I suppose i could just flash the stock rom, then see if that works when i remove the battery and then i can update the SPL? soft reset isn't blocked by dirt either.
If that fails i'm stuck with a bad phone

Well yeah... if you had read it all you would know that you are meant to be doing all of this using a stock rom on your device. There's your problem right there.
If you already have hard spl on your phone so you don't need to go through all the steps of flashing hardspl for the first time. Just upgrade the easy way from the SD card.
I have had 3.29 on my phone and have flashed over a hundred times with never a problem, including Ultimate several times. Just try flashing a stock rom first and then Ultimate. Then hard rest and then setup the rom. If i works great, if nt then you can always upgrade your spl later.
Stuntdouble, theres no need to be like that, some people are new to this, and if you had read my previous posts you'll see that i didn't flash to stock rom first, because i'd just got it from the shop, so the stock ROM was already on it. I didn't think i needed to flash it with the same one again first. Thanks for the help though everyone, I've now flashed stock rom, and gonna try ultimate again/
Sorry, but the amount of people on here who don't actually read FAQ's/Stickies before flashing their device don't get much sympathy from me. I think people underestimate the risks involved when flashing for the 1st time. However i've been having a bad day so I apologise for snapping.
Yeah no worries, it annoys me too when there are tutorials yet people can't be bothered and just post asking how to do something. But the only reason i didn't flash a stock ROM was because i got it from the shop so didn't think i needed too.
There is something i would like to know though that i can't find how to do. I'm trying to install 3.34 Hard SPL now, i have 3.29 at the mo. I don't have a card reader unforunatley so can't format my card to FAT32 like it says to if installing from card.
Is there an easy way to upgrade it other than using storage card? Or can i do the same steps as when i first did it. i.e, run the JumpSPL 1.56 but instead of opening the 3.29 KaiserCustomRUU, i open the 3.34 Kaisercustomruu?
I apologise if this info is anywhere, but i've read all the faqs and searched google and can't seem to find a guide on upgrading SPL from 3.29, it only tells you how to first install 3.29.
Thanks.
Off with their heads!
Ok i ran JumpSPL 1.56 and then ran the KaiserCustomRUU of the 3.34 Hard SPL, now when booting i get the dragon spaslh screen, but when i go to bootloader, it still says 1.29.
What am i doing wrong?
Fixed this now, thanks for everyones help appretiated
Dear Readers,
I have a few concerns about my recently bought Htc diamond.
The problem is that during bootup it stays frozen on the Touch Diamond bootscreens.
It has HardSPL Olinex v1.93 on it.
First i flashed back to the Stock Rom, worked fine only a couble of unexpected freezes wich made me think into using Mtty(set 14 0, task 29, task 8) to fully clear the phone and than reflash the NLD rom back on it.
Now flashing the rom went al the way 100%, and Congrats me after that.
I rebooted after that but never goes past the bootscreen with the red info lines.
So i thougt that restoring the SPL 1,93 olinex to factory setting might do the trick. But there is no way to do that since i cant get active sync to connect!
My problems is that although i can acces all bootloadmethods ,the phone is being recognized through USB, and all Rom/SPL flashes goes up to 100%. It still doesnt seem to save that rom on its memory.
and when i check the screens of the CustomRUU program it doesnt show any info add the older software version, only shows the info of the rom wich im going to flash.
If i check the USB icon on the task bar while connected to the pc, it says something like ..Qualcomm CDMA.. etc. ! the phone wasnt a CDMA version!
Any ideas?? is it Fixable or do my cats have something new to chew on??
many thanx,
Jeffrey
Copy any ROM you want to your Internal Storage, rename .nbh to diamimg.nbh, Restart your diamond and than immediately press Vol Down and back button, once in a bootloader press power button to flash rom, once finished restart Diamond, and see if ROM will be installed successfully

Dear Benko,
How can i get acces to the internal storage?? Since the phone doesnt boot far enough to get connected in Active sync... are there other methods to acces the internal storage?
The USB trigger mode didn't work either as its not recognizing any flashdrive i connencts to it..

What to do with this link??
I got Mtty running but i cant acces internal storage to copy a rom to it, and flashing by USB went all the way 100% but somehow the phone never boots in to the flashed rom.
Even trying a reflash doesnt show any signs of an older Rom being present on the phone memory..
One question about Mtty, when its said to use the ROM flasher i kinda assumed they ment the CustomRUU program. Am i right, or is there some build-in command to Flash a ROM within MTTY??

Actually yes i did and it doesnt make any difference.
The weird thing is that even after succesfull flashing both Harspl and Rom never seems to stay on the phone memory but the Radio get updated.

I had a problem with my phone where I did mtty, but forgot to rename the diamimg.nbh file on my phone. So it wouldn't get passed the bootscreen.
My solution was to connect the phone to the usb, hold down the up arrow(I think it was the up arrow) and soft-reset. It came up with those 3/4 color blocks and said "usb" at the bottom. I then used the official htc ruu(also didn't show the current rom on it) to flash the normal htc rom onto it and it worked. Then I just did the normal procedure to get the custom rom on again.
So are you trying to flash the original HTC rom onto it, or a custom rom? Cause if it's a custom ROM, maybe it's just the radio, not the actual OS?

I tried both custom and Stock Roms several times. After flashing the Stock roms i noticed that the radio version get updated, just no OS to boot!
Since the flashing sequence completes to 100%, i think its strange that the os doent seemed to be copied at all. Is there a possibility that a bad SPL is causing the OS not to be found?? In the Bootloader it still says SPL v1.93 Olinex so i guess its still Hard spl'ed. But when i try connect the phone to pc by usb, it shows up as Qualcamm CDMA device then later changes to HTC...
The Phone is not a CDMA version but i think maybe there is a change that somehow a CDMA SPL accidentlly got uploaded to it. This supposed to cause a phone to brick.
Many thanx for trying to help!

Ok, maybe you can try from scratch to re-flash everything?
You should still be able to HardSPL, by doing the soft-reset+vol down thing.
I'd suggest getting the HardSPL from here(I only used it once, but I know it worked for me):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
Hopefully that alone is what you need but if it isn't, you should then be able to flash a radio onto the phone(there's a link in that thread too) and then the stock HTC rom(I think the stock would have a better chance than anything else)
All of those flashes should be possible by doing the soft-reset+vol down and then using the RUU. Do you know how to use the RUU to flash a HardSPL, Radio and then OS separately?
you should probably try a full mtty just before you flash the OS(just after you flash the radio) as well, do the set 14 0,task 28 and task 29 and then task 8
And regrading Windows picking up your phone as a CDMA, I can't remember what mine said, but I don't think you should worry much about what Windows thinks the phone is.
*Edit, you should follow the mtty guide here for the most part:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290
But the second last step(number 7) where you're required to remove the usb cable, soft-reset+vol down+back button to flash from the internal storage, you should keep the phone connected to the usb and soft-reset+vol down and flash the rom using the RUU

Ok i tried its flashing the Stock HTC NLD rom now aroun 42.. 43%, its slow but atleast still going. This is a big Rom tough.
Two questions:
1. Flashing the hardspl took some time to initiate the progression bar and then suddenly in the blink of an eye from 0 to 100%,
after flashing the hardspl file wich showed in RUU as olinex v 1.40, it still showed SPL.193 olinex on the bootloader.. .. is this common??
2. Is it even possible to downgrade a bootloader?? i would love to have olinex 1.40 back.. i used it before and it worked fine on many roms...i keep thinking my SPL is the problem.
Bye now the Rom flashing finished and it didn't help.. its still frozen.
here is the output from MTTY, may be its usefull:

Did you use the corresponding stockRom (the one with the corresponding spl i mean):

Just in case you didn't, you can find it over here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades
Yes i did try, didnt work for me..
i kinda lose hope now.
Losing a phone sucks, first lost my iphone3g then bought this cheap as a replacement for the remaining contract, And now i really regrets that i tried restoring its stock rom,radio,spl since its really did brick the phone for good..
thanks for all the people that tried to help but i'm not sure if its fixable....
So thanx anyway..
yours,
Jeffrey
