So, I plugged my Kaiser (Tilt) into my computer the other day to charge it, and the next morning when I unplugged it, I noticed it was locked up. No biggie, I soft-reset it, and it came directly back to the bootloader (right before the bootloader shows is a white screen, that says "Loading image... No image found!", that flashes for a fraction of a second.
If I plug it into my computer at this point, Windows says the USB device has malfunctioned and it doesn't recognize it. I can't flash it ("connection error"), and it wouldn't hard reset.
Then it kinda came back to life, kinda. Suddenly it'll boot into WM. Windows still doesn't recognize it, but I used JumpSPL to get it into a bootloader, and tried to install a HardSPL on it so I could flash a new ROM (to this point it's been stock-only because it belongs to the company I work for). The HardSPL flash failed partway through, and then it was stuck in bootloader for real. At that point I tried flashing a stock ROM, and it kept failing at different points, never getting more than about halfway through.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or, do you want to buy it? At this point it's mine (company doesn't want it back), so I'm willing to experiment freely with it. Right up until my Touch Pro 2 comes in and I lose interest
*** UPDATE ***
So after writing this, just for kicks, I decided to give re-flashing the original ROM one more shot (it's been off and untouched now for several days at this point) and the flash succeeded. We'll see where it goes from here
Good luck with your phone.. I hope all goes well.. If you find out what the problem was/is, let me know
Hey godefroi, im new to all of this, just bought a messed up tilt from my friend, and i want to know if you could givve me the link for the insturctions to refalsh my tilt
Just hit up AT&T's site (which redirects you to HTC's site) and download the ROM. The file you want is "_ATT Tilt_RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe", which was the latest update for the phone.
Seems it's not fixed. After playing around with it for a couple days, it's back into bootloader and stuck there. Taking out the battery and leaving it for a few hours brings it back for a while, but it seems there's no permanant fix. Next step will be flashing HardSPL and a custom ROM. I'll update when that happens.
awww dang, that sucks. thank you for tellin me. hopin your tilt comes out ok
Did you ever get this resolved?
Hey man did you ever get this fixed? I cant find anything on it.
I can get to a boot loader screen and it shows USB and when I plug it into my computer I hear the sound that it's recognized but my active sync wont connect.
This is what I posted earlier and a moderator killed the post because I didn't spend hours hunting for a solution first before posting. I don't think one exists but if there is I would be glad to know it. I have flashed this phone and my older HTC Wizard dozens of times with no issues so Im not a "noob"
Earlier today I was taking a picture and the screen kind of stuck so I has to soft reboot it.
It didn't come back up. I was left at the rainbow bootloader screen.
I tried holding the camera button down and rebooting but it didn't change anything.
I tried several different combo's of holding keys down and rebooting and it always came back to that bootloader screen.
So the next thing I did was to format my cd card and downloaded KaisDiagTest1.zip and then coppied the KAISDIAG.NBH image file from the zip on to the root of the sd card.
That worked fine and I was left at a screen saying SPL 1.00.OliNex.
Next thing I did is were I think I screwed up. I flashed it with _ATT Tilt_RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0_radio_sign _22.45.88.07_1.27.14.09R2_Ship.exe which is the ROM from the HTC site and I think I was only supose to use a custom ROM and now after it finished flashing the ROM it rebooted and is stuck showing loading ... on the screen.
It goes past the boot loader and is stuck at loading...
Please advise if there is anything I can do.
Cheers,
Chris

I never did. Every once in a while I can get it reflashed, but inevitably it stops working. Just like yours, I'll sfot reset it and it'll be stuck in bootloader.
Best bet is when it gets stuck on the bootloader or on the "white screen" as to put it. Do the following:
1) Unplug battery, memory car and simcard. Reinsert battery ONLY after 3 seconds (cards stay out!)
2) Hold BOTH softkeys down at the same time
3) Whilst holding softkeys, turn the unit on
4) You will be prompted to press "SEND" to reset all user data (you will lose everything on the internal storage. Press the Dial (green button) to reset.
5) When it's finished, you will be prompted to press "SEND" to reboot. Press send and it will boot into WM but might take slightly longer.
6) Realign your pointer and tada. It's up and running.
n.b. This often happens when the radio version of your phone isn't correct. If you notice, when you get stuck in the "white screen" the "gsm signal sight" is frashing green!
I've got to warn you again, this procedure WILL delete all of your internal user storage, hence why I recommend taking out all of the cards before proceeding.

Nope. Stuck in bootloader is stuck in bootloader. Like, stuck. No, really, it's stuck. Hard-resetting doesn't get it out.

There's no white screen, just bootloader rainbow. Also, there's no chance that I flashed the wrong radio, because this phone has never been flashed with anything but the official ROM. It's never even had a HardSPL flashed on it.
hmmm...now that you mention it has never had a hardSPL, maybe that could be the next step?
i understand that some people may want to keep a "stock" configuration in case waranty needs to be claimed or for any other valid reasons...but if the phone is out of waranty, theres little to lose.
only reason i'm suggesting it is because cmonex has a hardSPL that aims to fix EXACTLY this problem, among others (if i understand your problem and cmonex's fix correctly):

also, this thread links to a page in the wiki about your problem (or something along the same lines):

finally, a collection of hardSPL versions can be found in this "roll up" thread:

So I was playing with the loons kitchen and got called away for a bit...I left my phone plugged in and the kitchen on the desktop (groan now)...my kids wanting to get on the pc did something...not sure what, but my husband says he walked by and said that the ruu was up...I thought ah crap...so I grabbed my phone and saw it was stuck on the splash screen. I rebooted, nothing, splash screen only. I tried getting into bootloader, finally got the message to "restore factory defaults press send" which I did...still, it won't go past the splash screen. I tried the directions found in the "force a bootload" thread...nada. It WILL NOT read as plugged in, and I cannot get it to flash to ANY rom, not button's not the official Tmo, none...PLEASE PLEASE help!!!!!

Just compose yourself for a sec while we ascertain whether it is an actual brick or not. We need to determine two things:
Can you safely assume that your battery has sufficient charge to try a few things? We dont want a completely flat battery to make matters worse.
Only if you have plenty of battery left. Tell us what happens when you enter bootloader mode by holding down camera button and pressing the soft reset hole with the stylus. If your able to get into the tricolour screen then you should be fine.

I had at least 80 percent battery. I cannot get into the tri-color screen. Tried holding camera and soft reset, tried comm, camera, power, tried talking sweet to it...it just goes to splash screen each time. HELP!!!
This is a G3 wiza200 IPL/SPL 2.26 and it IS unlocked.
Thanks in advance
If your trying to get into bootloader mode, the device shouldnt boot like normal up to splashscreen. If your getting this far then theoretically the bootloader shuold be fine. I'm going to explain the process in simple terms. I'm not treating you like a child I just want to clarify then we can move on to trying other methods.
1.hold down camera button
2.press little hole on side with stylus
3.release camera button.
Your device should reboot to bootloader mode. Then next thing you see should be the three coloured screen.

Yeah, I know...in theory it SHOULD, it's not, hence the freaking out. I am attempting to charge it on the main plug, but it begins to charge then dies. I did have a loose usb port, which I thought got fixed, as my phone charged fine last night, and sync'd fine today. I'm not a pro, but not a noob either...so I am getting frustrated because trying the things I do know, aren't producing the results they should.
**The splash screen is one I made, independent of an OS...after any rom change, I flash my custom splash screen...it has always worked...however, it is making me think that it is the ONLY thing on the MDA, and any signs of a rom were somehow killed by my kids flashing the phone with a very incomplete kitchen rom.**
I will try again. Any help that can be offered would be MUCH appreciated.
PS---I LOVE Heroes!!
When plugged into either usb or main plug, does either light (green/orange) stay on? If not then this symptom combined with a general loose fitting of the usb/main plug would indicate a malfunctioning loose usb socket. The thing is though, even with a loose socket you should still be able to enter bootloader mode. This puzzles me.
Other rescue options include sd-card method, but if you dont have one already, a non-functioning usb will prevent you from composing one because you need communication between the pc and your device.

I can get brief and random orange lights (my phone was not 100% but at least 80% when I first began)...it takes a lot of sweet talking though to get it to connect to charge. I tried a backup battery as well. Pushing the camera and soft reset either produces my custom splash, or nothing at all (no boot whatsoever). I am truly stumped.
EDIT
I am not aware of the SD card method. I do have an SD, but if I need a special program, I do not have it.
The fact that no light remains on when you connect usb or mains plug makes me think that the usb socket is loose again. In which case I'm doubtful that you can flash via bootloader mode.
The fact that you cant get into bootoader mode suggests that it was somehow corrupted when the flashing process was interrupted. This could be unrecoverable.
From here I'd suggest you investigate the sd card method. I've never relied on this method so this is uncharted territory for both of us.
Read this thread here and here. I think we're running out of options...
Semi success, I got into the quad colored boot (white bottom)...but cannot get it to recognize the usb. I am getting an error message about an unrecognized device, so I will try to fix active sync first...any suggestions for me now that I am at least in a bootloader screen
thats awesome.that means you do in fact have a bootloader still.
You need it to display USB in the little corner. When your in bootloader mode try removing and inserting the USB cable, we need it to show USB in the corner. Without this, you cannot flash.

it shows usb in the corner, however it is not producing any charging light, nor does my pc recognize the usb. So...I don't know if this will matter, but as I said...I have the RGB + white bootscreen with usb in the corner...is there still a chance????
yes there is a slim chance.
this will improve your chances by a small margin. Remove the memory card, kill wcescomm.exe in task manager on your pc, turn off any firewall/AV.
Now this is the hard part. I dont own a G3 device so I'm not sure what rom to flash that would save your device. I'd suggest you get the latest rom from the company that shipped your device eg Dopod, Tmobile, Imate etc. If you have a rom that you use in times like this to rescue your device then flash it now.
Good Luck

wcescomm.exe is NOT showing in Task Mgr...I will try to flash anyway. I killed the firewall and the sd had been removed already. Any other suggestions??
EDIT
ruu error 260 update error
It cannot connect, please check to make sure it is cradled blah blah blah
Thats ok. I forgot that the previous flashing attempts would have killed it off anyway.
So I get ruu error 260
I have rebooted my pc, deleted any connections in active sync (leaving only guest)...
UgggH
It is NOT recognizing the usb
the usb port is as tight today as it was last night after my hubby repaired it...I'm backed to stumped
EDIT**
I had to reboot MDA, now I have lost the little corner usb...but I still have the quad bootscreen
This is progress at least, 1 hour ago we didnt even have bootloader mode. Perhaps you could try flashing another rom, but I think if error 260 keeps appearing then something is wrong with the USB socket.
somehow i lost bootloader again...
this is driving me insane!!!
am trying again, will update momentarily.
************EDIT*****************
Finally got it back into bootloader, but it will not read the usb. keep getting that stupid error message that it doesn't recognize the device, and if I try to flash it with a stock rom, I get error 260.
I have closed the wcescomm.exe
I have killed my firewall
I have rebooted my phone, my pc...everything a few times
I have deleted any connections in active sync
I have unticked allow usb in active sync
WHAT AM I MISSING???
The usb port on the phone does not feel loose again...could it have got fried somehow? I feel as if I can get the damned usb to be recognized, I can save my precious MDA.
Please...any other suggestions, brainstorms, whatever???
THANK YOU
I had a little problem with theloons kitchen doing the same thing to me last week where it would give me the 260 error. I'll upload a ROM flashing file for you to try. Probably the best thing to do right now would be to take the nk.nbf file from an official ROM and stick it in this file and then run the RUU in it. After that you should be ok again to try your luck at cooking with theloons kitchen again although you may want to wait 'til the kids are at school or something before you try it.
When in bootloader mode there's no charging circuit so you won't get any lights on top. The only way to see if USB is working is by watching that same word (USB) at the bottom of the screen.
Check the SD card method which was what saved me once from the 'freezing in splash-screen' problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963

absolutely right while in bootloader mode it wont charge,but to charge or verify status of usb connectivity,while in bootloader mode push power off button,it'll go in sleep mode but lights will show charging if usb cable is charging
usb cable might be charging but mini usb port of the phone has many connectors I think 9 connectors,I'm not sure,may be the connector for making connectivity relation with phone and pc is damaged.
try with another usb cable if possible,if the connectivity with usb is established than method in the link provided by 'mestrini' is a good option,good luck
I picked up my Tilt on Friday, and it's been working relativly well. Last night, I went to install blackberry connect, and once I got to the settup, my phone locked up and turned itself off. Now, when i try to turn it on, I get the AT&T splash, it goes to the windows mobile flash, and never gets any farther. In fact, the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery. I brought it back to the AT&T store and they said they won't be able to get me a replacement until next week, but I'm going to need the phone up and running again by the weekend. Anyone ever see this problem and have any idea what to do? Thanks.
first you flash HardSPL on to it from the sticky in Kaiser Upgrading! Then you flash the the AT-T ROM on to your Kaiser and it should be good to go.
Have you ever used Mtty? If so then put your Kaiser into Bootloader mode and run Mtty cmd>Info 8 and see if you have any bad blocks if not you cool. you don't have to do this i just would like to see for myself if you do.
Well I'd rather not flash my rom, especially since they said they would replace it by the weekend (that is, does flashing void the warrenty?)
And I would love to use Mtty to give you an idea of what happened, but I'm not sure how. I tried a quick google but got no help. Thanks for the help and quick reply!!!

I realize this is a little late but this info may help others. The same thing happened to me. I installed BB connect then boom, Tilt never turned back on.
Solution:
If you are seeing the splash screen, (assuming you mean the Windows Mobile SS) then you DO NOT need to re-flash ROMS. Hint: If you are seeing the at&t logo prior to the Windows Mobile SS then ROM is entact.
All one needs to do is perform a hard reset (press and hold the right and left softkeys while pressing and releasing reset with stylus). A message should appear "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press SEND to restore manufacturer defaults, or press any other button to cancel." After you hit the SEND key the ROM rebuilds itself and you'll be good to go. Hopefully you've backed up everything.

Okay, ive seriously tried about every possible thing on here to get my stupid phone to work but heres my situation.
The ATT Tilt i have was working great up until a couple months ago. At one point it just shut off and then went straight to the RGB screen with
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.000
CPLD-8
and "serial" on the bottom
Some of you might say "download HardSPL " or whatever and flash from the computer. Problem is I dont have ANY of the software or hardware that came with the phone. All i have is the phone and its charger. Thats it.
Ive tried flashing through the SD card, and it goes to the loading screen. I've used Dutty's, HyperDragon, and the original ROM as a test base. Hyper and Dutty's i renamed the RUU.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh and it goes to "Loading" and thats it. Ive even tried naming it KAISDIAG.nbh and still nothing. Stays there for a while but doesnt go anywhere. I dont know how long exactly its supposed to take to load the damn thing but every post ive seen makes me think that its just "It loads, flashes and you're done"
The furthest i got was with the original ROM i downloaded that was shipped with the phone. Not sure whether or not the version was correct but then again i have no idea what vers. my phone is or where to find the rom that works with it. Anyways, i used the shipped rom, named it KAISIMG.nbh loaded it, said Checking, then says "Not Allow" with some numbers n **** on the top (0028002), then resets back to the boot screen.
No, its not named KAISIMG.nbh.nbh im sure of it.
Its not a kingston sd or none of that.
Ive formatted, used fat32. (however, i cant make it allocate to 512. windows gives it a "default" allocation size which is unknown to me and i cant change it)
Whats wrong with this stupid phone.
Help me please.
ps. Ive searched the archives frivolously and havent really found anything that completely answers my question.
I solved my own problem.
The file i downloaded called "Tilt_RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe"
Fixed it.
Well sorta.
Since it was an exe i knew i couldnt use it, so i opened the whole thing with winrar, removed the RUU file, renamed it to KAISIMG.nbh and it worked fine!
Well thanks for all the good info throughout the site though. a MAJOR help for someone who thought their $600 phone took a **** on them.

Yeah. You're right.
My problem now is that once ive reset the tilt after the update, it goes right back into the RGB screen.

If so where?

Uh, don't tell us you don't have a standard mini USB cable anywhere... you get one with pretty much any computer device you'd buy. You don't need anything more. As said, do an effort or find your way yourself.
Hello
Ive finally got round to putting new radios and ROM on my diamond, a year after buying. Didnt want to before now incase i cocked it up (theres a lot of things to remember!)
Hard SPL went fine and i was putting the new radio on (1.00.25.05 in this case) when, at about 80% of the way through the install my pc froze (as its having a habit of doing at the most awkward times recently!)
I soft reset the diamond but now its at what i assume is the bootloader screen (?), its got red, green, blue and white bars and various writing, along with a message saying 'Upgrade ROM code error Please try again'
I had a hunt round and found something for another device saying how to get it back by loading a factory ROM through the bootloader menu but i dont know how to do this as i dont have a connection to activesync (phone wont go beyond this screen) etc.
If someone could explain in relatively simple steps it would help!
I should also clarify that the only way i can get this screen off is to remove all power but as soon as i put power back on it loads up direct to this screen again!)
When you device is in bootloader mode, you dont need active sync connection. just run the update utility and it will work without it, as it uses different drivers when connecting.
This turned out to be quite easy actually, i stumbled across the answer somewhere else!
Thanks for the help
I was running one of the ENERGY ROMs on my TP2, so it's got a different SPL and all that. I then put it in the box for about 5 weeks. I took it out two days ago to install XDANDROID. I used XDANDROID for about an hour, until the TP2 started randomly shutting itsself off. I've tried flashing NRGZ28's ULTRA LITE ROM and the official T-Mobile USA 6.5 ROM for the TP2. It won't go past the boot loader a majority of the time. When it does, it goes on to act like it's flashing the RHODIMG.nbh on my MicroSD but almost instantly after it starts, it shuts off again. It doesn't always try to flash the .nbh, but when it does, it never finishes. It's the same story with a hard reset. I can't ever get it to turn on, and the only way it does turn on is to do a battery pull. If I'm lucky, it'll stay on for about 60 seconds and then shut off again. I'm really clueless as to what to do here and I'm hoping someone can help me.
The Bootloader reads as folows:
RUUNBH
RHOD210 32M SS-BC
SPL-0.85.OilNex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
[unreadable]
812,19...
217.855 Calibrated
The reason 1.5 of the lines is unreadable is because of the message over it: "Upgrade ROM code error. please try again."

try flashing hard spl 1.01 it looks like you got an old version of the spl. read the sticky on flashing for newbies i belive it tells you how to do the hard spl if you are having difficulty by usb connection other than that i wouldnt know what to tell you i nver had that problem only bad flashes but those could be solved by reflashing another ROM
Sorry, i should have explained that better. I can't connect to the PC. It won't stay in bootloader mode so I can't flash it that way either. From what i understand, the only way i can flash anything to it right now is to get the xxxx.nbh file, rename it to RHODIMG.nbh and place it on the root of my SD. When I do that, though, it won't finish the flash. It just keeps going in a loop. about every 5 minutes it randomly turns on and tries to flash the RHODIMG.nbh if present. If it's not present, it just flashes the boot loader for >10 seconds and shuts off again.
Also, I'm not sure if this makes any difference, but I've had TWO computers recognize it as a new device, "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM."
Make sure the battery has a good charge, nothing else springs to mind
PS. the qualcomm thing is what appears when it's flashing via USB
also maybe try formatting your SD card and put the stock ROM back on there, or try diff card

it sounds like you dont have your sd card formatted make sure its format to FAT32 go to your computer inserd sd card & reformatted (make sure its a micro sd & that its less than 2g) then transfer the ROM to the card already renamed to RHODIMG then inserd ur card on your phone & flash it. it should work. let us know what happens

I wish I could. I have no means of checking the battery status. I've had it plugged in pretty much constantly for about the last two days.

I figured that's what that was, I was just a little shocked that it said CDMA.
And I tried wiping the card and reflashing, but it did exactly the same thing.
See at the top of your bootloader readout, where it says RUUNBH? That means the RUU flag is set, and that needs to be unset before you can do other things. What you need to do is establish a connection with your device via MTTY. Follow the instructions here about how to do that. Once you get an MTTY connection established with the device (it may take awhile since MTTY is quirky sometimes), type
Code:
Set 16 0
You may need to manually soft reset afterward, but otherwise you should be in the clear
The TMO Stock ROMs can install via PC even if your phone has a faulty USB connection. The stock ROM installer will keep restarting the phone's USB connection automatically as needed if your phone can't appropriately flash in one straight attempt. You can get the newest stock ROM here. And definitely install HardSPL again after getting the phone up and running on the stock ROM.
You might also try MTTY.exe. When connected, run the command 'set 16 0' then 'task 8' then 'task 0'. If your phone doesn't automatically soft reset, then manually soft reset with the stylus.
will MTTY.exe work via parallels on a Mac? I haven't tried it yet, but I have limited access to a PC. also, I tried doing the HardSPL and the TMO rom via PC, but the phone just does the same thing. It will connect, but then the RUU tries to check the phone settings and the phone shuts off. this is the problem i am having. i just cant get it to say on long enough to do anything. I'll try the MTTY.exe through parallels and if it won't respond, I'll have to wait to try it on a PC. I'll let you know how that goes.
MTTY is quirky enough that it probably won't work through parallels, though there's no reason you shouldn't at least try and see if it works. You'll probably have to wait until you can get access to that PC. Best of luck

Thanks. I'll have to wait till i get back to the phone but i will let you know how it turns out.
also, in reading your sig, i see that i was using the same SPL that you are. have you had any problems with it?
I was also using the ENERGY LEO ROM [i now see that you are using it too.], which apparently was defective because the next day, the chef posted a new one because of "sleep of death." I read through the thread and didn't see anyone with the issues that i was having.

I haven't had any problems with this SPL, but then again, this is the only end-user version of HardSPL for GSM devices that's been made available. The SPL isn't even your problem, the only problem is that a bootloader flag is set which shouldn't be.
As for the EnergyROM sleep of death problem, that's not what you're suffering from. The sleep of death problem is when your device won't resume after being put into standby, meaning one must soft-reset their Rhodium and lose any unsaved data in open programs. It's a somewhat common problem among many HTC devices, from the old ones like the Kaiser to the newer ones like the Rhodium (though I don't think any Android device has this problem).

Eh ? Sorry, but I think you're confused. He's running 0.85 HardSPL, which is the one and only version for GSM Rhodiums.
I got to a PC and tried MTTY.exe
I can't seem to get it to connect. It just says "USB port can not open."
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I can get it to connect to a different version of MTTY.exe for a short time, but I can't type anything. All I get is a blinking cursor.

I had this EXACT same problem a week ago. I fell asleep in the middle of flashing, the phone died when it finished. I woke up, turned on the phone, ENERGY leo was trying to run its install but kept dying. Smart me, I tried to reflash (by holding the vol down button and turning it on- not through usb) and it kept dying in the middle of trying to flash.
The problem is the battery. It can't charge when it's flashing and it can't hold a charge long enough to get past the flash.
I swapped batteries with my friend, restarted the flash and it worked fine.
I let my battery charge in my friends Sprint Hero
and voila, everything went on happily ever after.
tl;dr find a way to use a charged battery while flashing.
your phone's not bricked.

That's the best news i have heard so far. I don't know anyone with a TP2, but i do know someone with a Hero. I'm assuming the GSM hero uses the same battery as the CDMA Hero and the TP2. I'll look into it and let you know how it goes.

chin up, bud
I actually had a replacement sent to me.
That took a week. I fixed my phone the DAY AFTER i requested a replacement.
ohwell.
Brand new TP2 for ten dollars (shipping) I'm not really complaining.
&yes. The GSM Hero does use the same battery. I was just looking at my friends phone, decided to take a look at the battery and shat bricks when I saw it fit in my phone.
report back after you try your friends battery if it works or not!

thank you so much! that fixed everything. they weren't quite the same battery, the one from the HERO isn't quite as wide. it did work, though. I'm charging my tp2 now. not sure if the battery is shot or not. everytime i unplug it, it shuts off. i'll have to charge it for a while and see if that changes anything. again, thanks so much!
