Hi,
I used to upgrade roms all the time on my 8125 and never had a problem - until a couple of days ago. I tried installed the wm6 "most beautfiul" rom on my ppc and it bricked my phone. After many attempts I finally realized that I needed to install the official cingular 225 rom (available on the site) in order to get my phone to work. Since then I have tried downgrading to button and to wizard love with no success. My ultimate goal is to get to WM6. I have tried unlocking and have read all the threads and followed the directions but I cant switch roms. Can someone please help me with this. I am getting desperate.
thanks

do you have a G3 or G4?
What are your IPL/SPL?
Which other ROMs have you had installed on this wizard?

So, you start a new thread with the same problem you posted in another thread hoping to get an answer??
My answer to you is the same one I posted to you before --
READ THE STICKY ABOUT UNLOCKING AND FOLLOW IT STEP BY STEP!!
Then -- and ONLY then -- will you be able to flash to a custom ROM.

Yep, I've replied to ecomajor's various posts in various threads and have basically given up. Very little info each time and having a problem that nobody else that has followed the steps has had.
Sorry ecomajor, don't know what else to tell you that hasn't already been said numerous times.
One Last Try -- Then, I Give UP!!
Read the following post on how to flash ANY Wizard (yes, that includes the 8125) --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1177659&postcount=1
Now, follow the directions in that post WORD FOR WORD and STEP BY STEP. The only reason it wouldn't work is that you're NOT READING and/or NOT FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP.
If you CAN'T read and follow directions, then don't be trying to flash different ROMs to your phone. If you're not willing to do what's necessary to help yourself, then noone else is willing to help you, either. . . especially when your problem has already been replied to with the same information over and over in 2 DIFFERENT THREADS now.
Let me detail you the exact steps I have taken. I have read through those posts, many times so I am certain I took those steps
1)device starts normally goto step 3.6 since unsure if unlocked.
2) read farias thread
3) download buttons rom
4)attempt to downgrade rom - failed
4a)tried 1.08 rom instead of button - failed
4b)tried wizard love- failed
5)download lokiwiz
6)followed all directions -failed - since was not able to downgrade rom.
Obviously these directions are not 100% foolproof - I know that the first time I tried installing WM6, I did not read through all the threads and after much effort I discovered that if I installed the official cingular 225 rom then I could get my ppc back working but since then I have had no luck getting flashing to work. Please tell me what I am doing wrong because noone has had my exact situation. there is no need to act all holier than thou and accuse me of not reading because since I screwed up the first time I have read through all these threads numerous times.
Ok, one more thing to try (shot in the dark, but I have no clue what is happening here)...
On your PC (its running XP, right???), do you have Firewall and/or Antivirus? If so, reboot your pc and don't start anything and then turn off your Antivirus and Firewall programs (I found a couple of threads where people were getting the error 260 when ZoneAlarm is active). Now try flashing the button rom. Don't try doing any other roms, don't try doing lokiwiz, just try to get the button rom on. If that works, then continue on with the steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
You might even try booting your computer into safemode and try flashing that way (I doubt activesync would be there, so put the phone in bootloader mode, and if you see USB above the left softkey then you should be able to flash it this way from safemode. Never tried it, but it pretty much eliminates anything that may be on your PC thats causing problems).
If none of that works, then get back to an official stock rom again and report back here with exactly what you did, what you saw, and all. Don't worry about the post being long, because to me, too much info is better than just short posts that don't tell us anything. Also, only update this thread. Forget all the other threads you have stuff going on about this problem.
Final question, I asked this before (and I don't remember if you answered or not)... Have you tried to flash your device from another PC?
And I've attached the ROM Update Utility Readme.doc that describes the error messages and how to fix them.
The weird thing is I never get code 260 with the cingular rom update just with the other roms. I will have to try the disabling all firewalls, antivirus etc at home bc at work there is all sorts of stuff i dont want to mess with. Problem if I do it in safemode is then the activesync driver wont be loaded and it will give me an error for that.

I've never tried it in safemode so I don't know if that will work or not, it was just an idea as we are grasping at straws here. But if you boot to safemode, and with the phone at the bootloader screen (hold down the camera button while you turn it on to get to the "rainbow" bootloader screen), if it shows USB above the left softkey then the computer and phone are communicating and Activesync does not matter. BTW:You can try the safemode way there at work as you will have no network connectivity in safemode so you don't have to worry about violating security policies.
You still have not answered my one question directly... Have you tried flashing the button rom to your phone on multiple computers? Or have you always done it from the same PC? And are the PC(s) that you are using running Windows XP?
What DOC chip does your device have? G3 or G4?
If you have a G4 then i guess you ruined your bootloader since G4 devices don't have and don't accept 1.xx IPL versions!!
I have tried button from multiple pcs. This time it gets up to 98% on button and then dies and it gives error 302 - update error for the button. This is a problem that I was having before.
Did you read the document I posted?? If you're getting Update Error 302, you're not going to be able to recover with anything other than the stock Cingular ROM.
Chances are that you did indeed ruin the bootloader when you tried using the ShellTool to flash a G3 phone. And I doubt seriously that you'll be able to do a warranty exchange if you can run the stock ROM successfully, so I'm afraid you're stuck now with the stock-shipped ROM.
So you are saying there is no way to fix the bootloader (like flashing it or soething) I was figuring I had screwed something up. I actually had read the document before but thanks for your help. Why is it that you can fix many other issues with the 8125 but not the bootloader?
I'm not saying it CAN'T be done. What I AM saying is that in the year I've been registered and active here, I've not seen any posts/threads about recovering from a bad bootloader. But that doesn't mean that there ISN'T a way to do it.
You might want to do a search of the Wizard section for bootloader error or recovering bootloader to see what might come up.
Good Luck!!
I uninstalled QuickGPS (stupid move, in retrospect) and now want to reinstall it. I downloaded the HTC_QuickGPS cab from Dutty's site but get this error message when I try to install it: Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
I am not a developer or a techie. I searched this forum for 'reinstall QuickGPS' but didn't find anything.
I'm also thinking of doing a hard reset and not loading the AT&T bloatware but there are a few programs from it (especially GetMail_at_t) that I want and am wondering if I'll get the same error message.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Have you soft reset? I get that message when another program is still in memory (Comm Manager, etc.). Additionally, I HIGHLY recommend hard resetting and not letting the bloatware install. Just did that for my buddy's tilt and he saw a HUGE performance gain. Anything you like from the bloatware is available on this forum as a cab. I understand not being comfortable voiding the warranty by ROM flashing (although that makes a far bigger/better difference). However, the bloatware sucks pretty bad. Plus, then you're sure QuickGPS is installed correctly, etc. I will say, he had a data issue after the hard reset. If you do it and have trouble with your data, assure your ISP settings are correct.
Just FYI: Sucks when no one post their results.
I was having the same problem and the soft reset worked. Thanks Guilf.
Worked for me too soft reset n it installed thanks
slightly different problem
im using Medkid's ROM. with radio version Radio version - 1.65.24.36. this ROM doesnt have QuickGPS pre-installed, so i had to download the cab file and install, but this is what i get,
it seems to install, but when i try to run the program, i get an error message saying
"the file QuickGPS" cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
i have tried reinstalling, not worked. i even tried a QUICKGPS patch i found on the internet, which contained a quickgps.reg file and a quickgps.exe as well. DID NOT WORK EITHER>
any suggestions?
try this one out HTC QuickGPS 1_00_220821_00.cab
i know this is a little late but i had the problem now and i fixed it
here is what todo:
eventhough i uninstalled quickgps and the program was not in the program list, it was still running a process, so i used SKTools to 'kill' the process, after that i was able to reinstall QuickGPS...

Agree fully with the above. I flashed my TILT with a barebones HTC Rom (bengalih's BRR-HTC-2.0 Lite ROM), and the device just FLIES compared to the out-of-the-box AT&T setup. The ROM developer included a separate file with all the removed apps available as .cabs, so I installed just what I wanted.

Hi guys,
I am asking if there is anyone kind enough to help me with my kaiser...?
the issue is the following, the first week wm 6.1 was released I upgraded my kaiser with no problem until last weekend.
last weekend navigating through your forum I decided to install TF3D and a hardSPL was recomended, I downloaded the file SJ_JumpSPL1.93-KAIS and run it on my kaiser. I believe the process got stuck on the 3 color display, I rebooted the kaiser and it seemed ok... but I am not able to navigate the web neither by GPRS or 3G...
this morning I tried to reinstall the kaiser from scratch with a RUU named _HTC TyTN II_RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_Brightpoint_US_3.29.422.1_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.70.18.02_Ship
which I downloaded from the HTC website but an error didn't allow it to be complete: ERROR 294: INVALID VENDER ID
HDa3-KBKV5867-HUEbc572-KBKV55670
my goal is to update my kaiser to the look as the TF3D or the amine 2.0 or the Hiperdragon.
I ask anyone of you gentleman to URGENTLY help me fixing my kaiser as this my office tool...

Why do people continue to screw up their phones by not reading, not understanding what they are doing, and doing things half the way. Are you all just rich and don't care about bricking a $500 dollar phone ? You are lucky you are able to recover your phone at all
Jumpspl is not hardspl . Jumpspl transitions your phone from stock spl to hardspl. You cannot flash any rom stock or custom ,that isn't specifically made for your carrier, until you have hardspl on your phone.
Read thoroughly and follow all the steps here, do not take short cuts and do not skip ahead,

Press and hold camera button and power button and do a soft reset to get into bootloader to see what it says.

Go to the wiki and find the original rom from your carrier and flash that ie: AT$T , T- Mobile, orange , 3 etc. Then after doing trhat try all the steps in the flashing for noobs thread again.
the only problem is that I bought the phone not from a carrier but from a store in Portugal and the phone was unlocked...
do you think I can still find the original ROM?
I couldnt find any suitable rom for my device I tried:
_HTC TyTN II_RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_Brightpoint_US_3.29.422.1_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.70.18.02_Ship
with no luck.

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.
Hi ladies and gentlemen!
I have tried and tried and tried to flash mi tilt, and no luck. I've followed the intructions(let me guess well if you followed the instructions then you shouldn't be having a problem? save it.) It's not working! :[[[[[[[[ It keeps giving me the error 262 update error. I did what the solution said to do which was to soft reset and enter bootloader, and i did that but still no luck. I 'flashed' wm6.1 i think well installed it from htc's website and it worked and stuff, but i hate it! It is so laggy when i text and it keeps going into sleep mode after 10 seconds or the backlight goes dim after 10 seconds i've tried fixing it with what htc says to do but it still does it after 10 seconds. AND kaisertweak wont work it says the file is corrupt; i've tried re-installing it so many times i threw my phone!!!! ;[ It still works but it has a dent on the side. It doesn't bug me Anyway, someone has to have a solution for all this! PLEASE!!! AND THANK YOU in advance. I also followed the instructions on 'flashing for newbs' and still no luck. If you need info on my phone here it is: WM6.1, (when entering bootloader with the power+camera+SR) 3.56, THE PHONE IS UNLOCKED(as in i can use t-mobile, verizon, etc.), and that's all i can remember lol. Oh yeah one more thing, i can't seem to get rid of the 'bloatware' :'[ I've tried many so-called 'solutions. :'[ no luck. HELP!
This is the second " help me with my phone " thread you have started in the rom development section. You are not developing a rom or aiding a chef in developing a rom. So stop starting new threads here. Your last one was locked, and so will this one. This is not the I'm a noob , help me section. If you are having a problem post it in the flashing for noobs thread. There is no problem that you are having hat hasn't already been addressed in that thread.
Have you flashed hardspl yet ? Which one 3.34, 3.56. 3.29. 3.29 cmonex ? Have you tried flashing from an SD card ? 262 is a usb error. Have you tried reloading activsync ? Have you Disabled anti virus and firewalls. Saying I've tried everything tells people nothing.

Have you tried indenting paragraphs or cutting up your post so that it can be read?

So, if his phone is unlocked, is it possilbe his phone is already set to flash? I guess it depeneds on how it's unlocked.

You figured wrong, twice apparently, so Mr. Denco was showing you your failures in figuring. You got the "attitude" for posting in the wrong section TWICE.. When a mod closes or moves the thread, they explain why..
