I recently flashed my opal to wm 6.5 and it worked perfectly fine. Yet today when I tried to install a software which would help display chinese character, after reboot, it got stuck in the smart mobility screen. I have tried hard reset and it didnt work. HELP ME!!!
Try entering the bootloader, plugging it in, and on a PC, flash the stock ROM back with the RUU. And for future reference, questions should be posted in the Q&A forum or in you device's relevent forum instead of here, as Development and Hacking is reserved for the development of software.
Dave
try this ...
if you can't enter boot-loader, and obtain a regular active sync connection (in order to reflash) you must try to flash from your sd card.
here you will find some instructions for htc Polaris (i own one) but you have to search the forum how is that to be done for htc touch opal.
it should be something similar there for your opal, and this worked for me in the same situation on my polaris.
good luck !

My TYTN 2 (KAISER) came with the original WM6...But I upgraded/flashed it to WM 6.5 and that kinda sucks for me...
How can I revert it back to WM 6????
HELP.
Should I Hard reset it( by pressing several keys+stylus)??
Or should I hardSPL it again and flashing the WM6 Rom back??

First of all this is Android development so this is very offtopic. Second you hopefully can find and download the correct WM version from HTC by entering your S/N. Then I think all you need to do is to hold camera button + reset the device to enter SPL, connect to computer with USB cable and then run the installation (that you downloaded from HTC).
Hi Kalit_Kaffe, Thnx for the Help. Was helpless...thts Y had to post it here.
Anyways...is the hard reset(holding camera button...the soft buttons and stylus) the same as Factory restore??...then i wouldnt be needing the file that you mentioned for download??
Am i right?
Reset to factory defaults will not replace the 6.5 rom you have installed, you don't need to HardSPL again, that only needs to be done once.
Your best option would be to get a stock rom from the XDA Wiki pages, My advice would be either get a shipped rom that matches your carrier, or the latest generic HTC shipped rom, both can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
Note that once you flash a rom a Hard reset does not remove it, only flashing another rom will do that. Also flashing a stock rom is actually one of the best ways of clearing out previous flashes.
hi
Hey man thnx a lot! really helps!
HELP!!!!!!!!!
How do I install the USB driver for HTC TyTN II, to whom I am the Android 1.5. Before that I was a Windows Mobile 6.5 and am using Microsoft ActiveSync. I would like again to get back to WM 6.5, but can not seem to connect mobile phone and computer.
You can't flash back to Windows Mobile through usb while in Android because of the driver issues. You have to either enter bootloader mode and flash, or you have to do it through your storage card. And before you post back asking me how to do that, use the search. There are instructions all over the place.
thank you very much I was able through bootloader mode
does anyone know what is the best WM for HTC taytn 2? I am installing TPC_Kaiser_Titanium_Ultimate_28002, it's not something particularly good
There is no *best* ROM. Please read threads and flash based on your needs. I think it's about time this thread be done for.

Looks like you need to downgrade your Hard SPL for WM6 so that it doesn't pause a lot.

Also there seems to be a guide for what you want. Sorry I stopped reading through the threads when I saw someone say you don't need to do anything with your hard spl.

hi all, i must say that i really tried to search the solution but all i got
were referring flashing for cooked rom or if i had cooked rom and want to go back to the original.
i had to hear your opinion
as bought my htc tytnII with wm6.0, i went to htc support site and upgraded to official 6.1 os
(HTC TyTN II - Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional Upgrade)
and then i moved to serch heb support, and found installation that run threw the pc.
after the installation i weren't happy with the results, and i even have adv commercial on botscreen.
so i turn to the HR, i thought it will give me again.. fresh start.
but right when he started to configure the system and started restarting
the heb support and the adv was there!
i just want pure start, with no leeching installations that beyond my control.
so im asking if reinstalling the upgrade from the htc site will give me what i seek?
i had to ask, i herd the word brick and got afraid..
although in the downloading screen in htc site it said:
"If it is the same version and your device is operating normally, there is no need to reinstall the software."
thanks in advance,
yaniv
Moved as not ROM Development.
You can reinstall the software from the HTC with no worries. If the rom is not meant for your device, it will not install.
The only way to harm your phone , really , is if your phone is currently running a cooked rom, and you try to flash a rom for another model of phone.
You are going to have bootscreens on every rom, windows screens, HTC screens, carrier screen, they may seem like advertising to you, but they are just normal bootscreens. If you do not like them, there are several threads here on changing and installing custom bootscreens and splash screens.
straight out of the Kasier Wiki.

thanks bro! its really helped me out..
Hi all,
Apologies if there is any kind of answer to the following elsewhere - I've looked for a few hours, but haven't stumbled across anything.
My phone has developed an issue, whereby the SE logo will display - along with the green Windows Mobile logo, before resetting.
I've been able to reflash the original stock ROM (hence the WM splash screen), but need to now restore the SPL to send this off for a repair.
Any ideas how I can do this (considering I can't connect this via ActiveSync to the PC)?
Thanks very much all,
FatalSaviour

though I normally don't recommend it for spl: you might want to give SD method a try
strange your stock rom doesn't boot though, hope trying to flash spl doesn't scramble it completely
otherwise consider using task 29 to wipe memory and start a new with the stock rom, but read instructions carefully before you try it
gl anyway
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
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...

And I know this forum is still very active, which is good too.
What I need:

So I downloaded all the WWE's and tried every one of them, but they all give me "INVALID VENDOR ID."
Then I followed the Hard SPL guide, I got a white screen. And no Tri-color screen.
After that I just removed battery and re-tried it a few more times same deal, white screen.
Even followed a youtube guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaCt5pUn6iI

The active sync however had a

I thought this was supposed to be really easy from what I read on the forums, but I keep running into dead ends. lol.
Please I need to know if I'm doing anything wrong, if so how can I install the English rom? Because I can't, not yet anyways.
Thank you.
