Hey Guys....
I am still working on this DIY but this is how I was able to accomplish reverting back to my OEM Cingular 8125 state.
If someone could plase let me know how to replace the very first SPLASH Screen from "HTC" to CINGULAR, I would greatly appreciate it.
By following the steps below, you will have almost everything back to its original state.
Be sure to download all the necessary ROM files: OS ROM, Radio ROM, splash.bin
Place your OS ROM and Radio ROM inside the c:\sWizard\ROM folder.
DOWNGRADE YOUR OS AND RADIO ROM
1. Download aWizard 1.3b Beta Version (Attached File or Latest Version) from the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&highlight=awizard
2. Unzip the folder to your root directory (C:\aWizard or D:\aWizard). You need to avoid having spaces your directory name. This is the reason placing folder in the root.
3. Make sure you have an active connection via Active Sync.
4. Run the aWizard.cmd file from C:\aWizard
5. Run "e" command FIRST !
6. Run "u" command. Your Wizard will reboot.
7. Run "w" command to update your ROM. You will get a prompt to choose your ROM. If you did not place a valid ROM inside the ROM folder, then you wont see it from this list. Also, if you placed your aWizard in other directory with spaces (i.e C:\ MY DOCUMENT) then you wont see it either. Just let it run. It will take close to 20 minutes. At the end, it will as you to hard reset.
8. Run "r" command to update your Radio ROM. Same as Step 7.
Replacing Splash Screen (Back to Cingular)
1. Place the splash.bin file inside the c:\aWizard\lib
2. Open up CMD and navigate to c:\aWizard\lib
3. Type in the following command "pdocwrite.exe -n 1 splash.bin 0x002d0000"
pdocwrite.exe = this program is located inside the LIB folder
splash.bin is a file that I converted.
4. Once completed, please reset your Wizard and now you will have Cingular's Splash (2nd Splash)
Updating the EXT ROM
1. I did this manually by utilizing Active Sync to copy over all the Cingular ROMs to the Wizard and running it individually.
2. Reset and you will now have all the programs Wizard came with.
FAQ
Q. My Wizard is stuck on a splash screen and it wont do anything.
1. Hard reset your Wizard
2. Hold onto Camera Button while turning on the Wizard and you will get the boot screen.
3. Plug in your USB Cable
4. Run one of the known ROM files with .exe extention. When this happened to me while downgrading,
I had to reload the latest iMate ROM.
5. Start the downgrade process again by following the above instruction.
reverting back to original cingular rom
Thank you for this.
Don't you have to REINSTALL original Cingular Rom or does this do that by removing imate updated ROM?

When you install Cingular ROM, it will remove/overwrite the existing iMate ROM.
Be sure to place your ROM files in the the ROM folder.
If your running the aku2 imate rom, many people will have problems running awizard or lokiwiz to unlock the CID, I had to run the tmo uk rom update (.exe one) which replaced the imate, and then restore the rom files I had backed up for cingular, although the extended rom is still locked, thats annoying.

can you please share how you change the very first splash screen on your 8125 ? its the only thing i wasnt able to do or know how to do.
thanks
FarSeide, I'm pretty sure that even the stock 8125's from Cingular showed the HTC screen first, the cingular screen second, and finally the Windows Mobile screen. If that's the case, then your 8125 is as good as new as far as Cingular is concerned.
Also, if anyone upgraded to the AKU2 I-mate ROM, you cannot do the process you described, because (as someone else mentioned) the lokiwiz program will not work. What you need to do is FIRST install a different ROM using an exe file (a good example would be the leaked AKU2 Q-Tek ROM exe file), and only after that entire upgrade process is completed, can you now use lokiwiz to unlock the SuperCID and install the Cingular ROM.

Eli,
thank you for the info. I wanted to put this together because when I tired to do this, there were information but scattered all over all forums. just wanted to help others so that they dont go through the same thing i did.
i was following these instructions and i got a
NOTIFICATION ERROR
cannot execute repllog.exe
so what i had to do was hard reset, boot screen , re-installed imate, ...
i guess i will try it again, what do you guys think
hmmm... sorry to say but my 8125 only ever showed the cingular splash. No HTC, no WinMob. I had assumed that Cingular somehow replaced all 3 splash screen with theirs.... In fact, I never even knew there was more than one splash screen until I upgraded to the Qtek rom.
I'm in trouble
I tried to downgrade the ROM and now I'm hung in the i-Mate SPLASH SCREEN. I tried the hard reset and it hangs every time. I can't get a connection through active sync obviously so what are my options. How can I get a working device.
I'm freaking out.
Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

relax... i was exactly where you were...
first, hard reset your device.
Hold the Com Manager, Voice Command and press the soft reset with your stylus.
before you turn the device back on, hold the camera button then turn on the power. you will receive the boot screen. Plug in your USB Cable and kick off the EXE file. Load one of the known ROMS like the iMate ROM.
reload and try again. I am willing to bet that you disconnected the USB Cable while updating to Cingular ROM.
Good luck and dont worry.
does anyone have the exe for the original Cingular ROM ?
my colleague tried to update his 8125 with my imate rom.....and did not unlock it first.
all he has is the bootloader now, the update gives the well known Error: Invalid Vender ID
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks !!
Get a copy of the proper ROM on a SD card, and reload it that way.
This is the easiest way out of that box......
Thanks,
but how to get the Rom reloaded from the SD card onto the device using the bootloader ?

THAT part is easy.
Note that the SD card image is NOT a file. You have to raw write it onto the card, which will destroy the filesystem - so back up the card first! psdwrite will do the job. You also need the image (PREVIOUSLY copied from a SD-made backup with "psdREAD")
To restore it, insert the card, hold the CAMERA button, and power on. The phone will tell you to press VOICE to restore the SD image (it looks to see if there's a valid one in there)
Note that with 1.x bootloaders this will happen with the BACKLIGHT OFF, and you only have 3 seconds or so to press the key - so have a flashlight handy. 2.x bootloaders turn the backlight ON.
Hit VOICE. The image will be verified (checksummed) and if it is good, it will be loaded.
That's it. Takes about 2-3 minutes. When it finishes it will tell you to press any key, and when you do you'll end up at the tricolor screen.
Power off and back on, and the phone will cold boot the new image.
This will work even if you can't run an RUU loader, so long as you can get that first prompt up. It is a VERY effective rescue method.
IMHO before you hack on the firmware in these things you should make an SD card backup just for this reason.
Which tools is best option for ROM backup to Mini SD?
Hi,
Just read your message about writing ROM to Mini SD card.
I'd like to do just that.
I want one or two ROM's for safekeeping stored somewhere instead only a backup or official copy on my pc.
As i've read restoring from SD is safer and faster..
I don't intend to use the SD card for anything more than just that.
In the Prodigy Service Manual (Prodigy Service Manual -XA(0813-2005).pdf) HTC uses mtty.exe. There are also instructions in the PDF.
Since HTC uses this, it should do exactly what i want, i guess?
Or is there a better tool?
Thanks,
Allegro.
P.S: Will a restored ROM from Mini-SD look fresh to HTC?
Or will they see it's a self restored copy instead of a official HTC restore?
Will it reset "everything"?
I was able to fully restore CIngular 8125 ROM, EXTROM, All Splash Images using the SD Restore.
100 Cingular OEM Spec has been restored...
I hv updated T Mo custom ROM..but now can't downgrade even by Awizard utils....can any one throw some light on this?
ok...i got the error from upgrading from 2.17 hacked rom to the 2.26 official rom. tried to read whatever i can but looks like solutions were given for cingular ipl etc...
can someone help me out? when i run the official rom, it updates to 1% and then i get the nbf error. i tried to run loki but mda not recognized by my usb connection.
stuck now...please help!!!
actually, tried to run machinagod's RAPI unlocker..but MDA not recognized as connected...this was part of xelencin's 2.24 rom updater.
please help!!!
Hi,
you must provide more information if you want someone to help you.
First and most important: what does it mean your phone is stuck? Stuck where? Does the screen come on? Can you get the bootloader screen? (for the bootloader screen: hold the two keys on the right side of the device and press shortly the reset hole; if you see the three colors screen then you have the bootloader!)
bye
i get the screen with the 3 colors, and usb at bottom left. when i run the official t-mobile 2.26 update, the screen goes gray and there is a bar with % done. when that kicks in, i get 1% done then it stops. on my computer screen, i get the nbk error, saying the nbk file that i have is not for my phone.
i looked for fixes but all the fixes require activesync connections which i am unable to connect with. just fyi, when i plug in the usb cable to my laptop, i hear the *ding* for usb noting it is connected but the activesync connection is not available.
thanks in advance for your help.

Before your battery goes flat i suggest you to re-install your old rom. Don't know why 2.26 is not working, maybe you downloaded a corrupted archive. To install your old rom it is not required that activesync sees your phone. Go in bootloader mode and flash your old rom back.
i dont think i downloaded a corrupted rom file because i downloaded it from 2 different places, one from Tmobile site directly from my tmobile account.
what bootloader program should i use? please advise and location to download...
thanks,

bootloader program??? There's no bootloader program!
What i'm trying to tell you is:
- Your phone is stuck for unknown reasons. In this state you cannot recharge your battery!
- Before the remaining battery charge becomes too few, reinstall your old rom (the one you had before trying 2.26)
- When your phone -with the old rom- will be working again, then you'll have all the time to investigate on the causes of this failure.
- Now hurry up and install the old rom before it's too late (unless you have a second wizard that you can use to recharge the batteries)
To install the old rom you must go to the three-colors screen (the bootloader), connect to USB (but activesync won't start!) and start the rom installer.
bye
risi,
sorry...how do i get to bootloader screen? is it the tricolor screen? has anyone had the same problem that i'm having, going from 2.17 hack to 2.26 official?
what program can i use to load my original rom with?
sorry for the semi-newbie questions...desperate to revive my MDA...
again, thanks.

to go to the bootloader screen you must keep pressed the two keys on the right side of the device and, while keeping them pressed, shortly press the reset button. the bootloader screen IS the three colors screen. when you get the bootloader screen, reinstall your previous rom (2.17).
i plugged the phone in the wall charger and the battery charged up all last night so i am not worried about the battery...
i just cannot figure out how to load the old rom i had.
i didnt bring the phone with me to work...i will try to reflash with old rom...for now...i am using my old hp 6315 (yikes! - remember the probs with this phone?? lol

to load the old rom you must:
- get to the bootloader screen (the three colors one)
- download the 2.17 rom's ,exe archive (download it from the same place you took it last time)
- connect the phone to USB (don't worry if activesync doesn't see it)
- start the rom .exe file

I hope so! About the problem you had with 2.26, i don't know why it happened. Is your phone a T-mob USA MDA? If it is not then you must CID unlock it before flashing a different operator's rom.

yes, it is a tmo usa mda...or i would think so since i bought it from a factory store (not an authorized dealer). anyway man...i will keep you posted...for now, using my trusty hp 6315. lol
Hello,
I have a similar problem. I updated my QTEK 9100
with a T- Mobile 2.24 ROM. Now I need to go back to the original QTEK Rom, namely RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe, but after starting the upgrade process the program refuses to downgrade the device and says get a newer nbf file.
Is there a way to force a downgrade?
Many thanks in advance

Is your phone CID unlocked? If so, then you must download the wizard_upgrade_noid tool from the ftp server and use it to install the 'down'grade.
In details:
- be sure your phone has been CID unlocked (and is not a G4)
- download the wizard_upgrade_noid (i don't remember the name exactly) tool
- use winrar to extract the original qtek rom .exe archive
- copy the noid tool to the folder where you extracted the qtek rom
- run it
bye
Hello Risidoro,
At first thanks for your fast answer. Since I have a QTEK I don't beleve it's CID locked. How can I verify if the phone is CID locked? Is there a tool to check this?
I proceeded exactly as you advised. I used Winrar to extract the files and used the Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noid I downloaded from the ftp site.
Then I copied the nk.nbf file to the respective folder but the utility after having completed the initial 2 screens says:
ERROR [238] : FILE READ
The update utility cannot open the requested file. Please check your update utility.....
any ideas

Hello,
Just some small updates: My phone has currently the Mr Clean 2.3 firmware loaded : IPL 2.24 SPL 2.24 GSM 02.25.11 and OS 2.24.10.1.
Previously I was using RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe and had no problems. After upgrading to xelencin t-mobile based US rom I had trouble when making data transfers over GPRS. Then I decided to test Mr clean. Altough I data transmission has improved a bit it's still not so good as with my original RUU 2.17 release.
Unfortunately I am unable to revert to this version. Also having tried to downgrade using Faria's Custom downngrade file only the IPL was downgraded to 1.05 and the SPL file stayed to 2.24.
I tried then to reapply RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe but I recieved the error message UPGRADE only.
Since apparently this is unstable I decided to reapply Mr Clean and now I have again IPL 2.24 SPL 2.24 GSM 02.25.11 and OS 2.24.10.1.
I suspect that the data problems are due to the fact that these new radio versions are not compatible with our provider. I live in Luxembourg so we use LUXGSM.
Is there a way how I can revert to my old 2.17 software.
Any coments are highly appreciated.

Hi Anais,
try flashing with the RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) tools that you find in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
Download the archive RUU.rar and extract its content somewhere in your PC. Copy in the same location the nk.nbf from the rom and run the .exe.

OK first of all I've put this together hastily so forgive me for slight errors, but most of this should be fine.
To flash your P3600i, there are 3 things that should concern you: HardSPL, the Radio, and the ROM.
HardSPL: something that allows you to run unsigned code on your phone (e.g. ROMs), and also provides protection in case it screws up. This is the first thing you do. (This is probably a **** explanation, but functional at least?)
Radio: I guess more like a mini feature set, I know there was something similar when I had a Motorola phone which was called a flex. In this case it's not a whole new operating system, but perhaps easily thought of as small tweaks made to improve the system without necessitating a whole ROM flash. Why have a radio when a ROM could take care of everything? Well the advantage of a radio is that you can flash these without resetting everything. Everything (contacts, etc.) remain intact.
ROM: What you're really after, WM6.1 and the lovely cooked ROMs that should soon be available for flashing. This will wipe everything on your phone, so back your stuff up (contacts, settings, owner info, messages, etc.).
Flashing procedure:
IF YOU HAVE VISTA: You need to update your drivers. Go here for instructions. You can then proceed with the procedure as per normal.
The basic procedure is this. Flash HardSPL first, then update your Radio, then finally, your ROM.
Note: The HardSPL you use is a modified one especially for the P3600i. Get it here.
Note2: Here is a mirror for the latest Radio for the P3600i. From following the guides, you will know when to use it. Get it here. (N.B. Radio link updated to v1.56.70.11 - 2 Aug 2008)
Go to the trinityguides.info guide (link here) and go through the procedure - and yes, I know the link points to page 2 of the guide.
NOTE WHEN FLASHING HARDSPL, IT WON'T WORK THE FIRST TIME - YOU WILL GET AN ERROR (CODE 260) LOLOL. THIS IS EXPECTED.
This is what happens.
You go to flash HardSPL like the guide says. LOOK AT THE SCREEN ON YOUR PHONE, YOU MIGHT HAVE SECURITY PERMISSIONS AND NEED TO MANUALLY ALLOW THE PROGRAMS TO RUN.
It looks like it's about to flash and then errors. BUT your phone is on the 3-colour bootloader screen! How odd. Well KEEP YOUR PHONE ON THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN, and unplug it from your computer. Exit the HardSPL program, RUN IT AGAIN, and FLASH THE PHONE AGAIN WITH HARDSPL (obviously connect your phone and stuff back to your PC).
The point here is this: the first time it will fail, but at least manage to get the bootloader up. With this bootloader up, exit the flashing program, restart it, and then you should be able to run the flashing program and have it complete.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PHONE HAS THE OLIPRO HARDSPL INSTALLED after completion, by soft-resetting (hold the power and camera buttons at the same time AND use the stylus to press the putton at the bottom of the phone. You might not get it the first time, but with practice you'll get the hang of it).
Once you can see 3.20 Olipro (yes, 3.20) on the bootloader screen, you know you have HardSPL on fine, and can proceed to the trinityguides.info instructions on flashing your radio and ROM. ROMs can be found in the P3600i ROM Collection thread, here.
Hopefully this should answer a lot of questions people have
Hihi,
Because I am using Vista PC, can I use PC to flash the hardspl and use SD card to flash OS and radio??
Thank you

Simple answer is no. You should be able to flash Hard SPL from Vista if you follow the Trinitty guides to change the USB drivers to the XP ones.....PLEASE read the TRINITY GUIDES as stated above.

whatever radio you feel like, jesus, the level of stupidity just gets worse.
of course, if you're totally ****ing incapable of independent thought, we can spoonfeed you some arbitrary radio version.
Thanks for your attitude! I just want to do somethink that work... And my question is not for the fun! I saw in the guide that in the link (to trinityguide) and in the first page its didnt writen that is compatible with p3600i. So i ask before i make damage to my device.
I am working in computer companies for 5 years but its my first time flashing ppc so i want to be sure what to do before that I will make any damage.
And belive me that anyone that will gets some help in the first flash will help in the future to the forum.

OK...you do not have to flash ANY radio if you don't want to.
The Tinity Guide was written well before this device was cracked so it is not up to day with regard to the P3600i.
If you follow the instructions at the top of the page you should be fine.
Chose whatever radio you want to use....then pick one of the ROM's that are known to work and away you go.
I just flashed the MARY 3.7 SL and before I started loading up my customisations my Program memory was 34 meg. Even now after laoding everything I have 22.62 Meg Program memory and 178.88 Sorage memory (and everything is loaded on the device too).
So far all is good on this one.
PS Don't take Olipro's comments to heart....if you read his tag...he abuses everyone....lol

great to hear. the rom seems to be fairly stable, and its nice and quick. which for me personally is what i want in a phone
one thing i should mention to people as well running vista to do this is that for every part of flashing the phone, vista may attempt and succeed in "installing device drivers" which in turn means you need to point it to the vista-compatible drivers for it to work (as per the guide) every time to progress to the next part, otherwise a 260 keeps occuring.
Thank you for your wonderful and useful guide!
Thank you!

Hey folks I need a little help
I've downloaded:
- Mary 3.7 Lite, Mary 3.7.1 and PDAVIET 37
- Olipro 130, Olipro 120 and Des Crash Proof
I've tried hard to mix all possibilities like Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7, Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7.1 and etc
After several tries i was kinda desperate since none worked then after testing Mary 3.7.1 and Des Crash Proof, TADA! Worked!
Well, the point here is understanding why I couldnt make the other ROMs work.
Could you please help me understading why?
Also I have another question, when a ROM was bad installed, in these cases above the 0% stats were freeze in the PDA while I had a bad connection problem showing in computer ( error 246 i think ) so the PDA was stuck in the bootloader mode =( And I just could enter my old WM6 by upgrading the radio. Is there another way to do it? I was pretty disappointed upgrading the Radio so many times. LOL

- Olipro 130, Olipro 120 and Des Crash Proof
I've tried hard to mix all possibilities like Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7, Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7.1 and etc
After several tries i was kinda desperate since none worked then after testing Mary 3.7.1 and Des Crash Proof, TADA! Worked!
Well, the point here is understanding why I couldnt make the other ROMs work.
Could you please help me understading why?
Also I have another question, when a ROM was bad installed, in these cases above the 0% stats were freeze in the PDA while I had a bad connection problem showing in computer ( error 246 i think ) so the PDA was stuck in the bootloader mode =( And I just could enter my old WM6 by upgrading the radio. Is there another way to do it? I was pretty disappointed upgrading the Radio so many times. LOL

If you have a P3600i then according to the info you have above....you downloaded the WRONG Hard SPL.
Go back to the very first post on this thread and read it carefully. There is a link there to the correct Hard SPL from Olipro...and it isn't 130, 120 or Des Crash Proof.
genipao, it was rather surprise you had picked the wrong hard spl and doing some mix and match and it still work?
All experts,
please render help to me for my CHT9110 (P3600i - IPL-Trin100, SPL-3.03.0000, CPU-Samsung 500Mhz, NAND-256MB) that I flashed successfully with hardSPL 3.10 Oplira. this is working and wonderful SPL with the JumpSPL included. Good job done by Oplira!
However when I tried to upgrade P3600i from WM6.0 to WM6.1, I missed the step to tag 401 from 400 when I re-build New_NBH.file for my phone. At a result, I encounterd WM6.1 ROM flashing incomplete at 80% and forced to reset due to hang-up...
Now, my P3600i still can boot up to flash-screen logo, loading radio image (1.56.70.11) and then protocal services (32.89.7020.20H), then it will hand-up forever on flash screen logo.... (until i did the hard reset, then it will re-boot! terrible now!!)
i suspected it was unable to locate the WM6.1 and loading up accordingly....
I tried out many option, to downgrade SPL 1.1, SPL1.2, SPL 2.1 and used SPLxploit to clear the stack in bootloader... all is falied and my bootloader still shown SPL-3.03.0000 and don't allow to re-flash any ROM under bootloader mode now!!
Experts! please assist me,
How can I roll-back the default OS on phone if any? or there is alternative way to recover OS to flash in for recovery? I think firstly we need to crack SPL-3.03.000 in bootloader mode...
Many thanks!
Hi klemtest,
can you guide me on flashing CHT9110?
I couldnt seems to get it flash even after following the instruction.
Appreciate your help
i just followed Ajajaj Quoted, please allow me to share...
Step 1 - Anyway First of all, load the Hard SPL to your phone from : Set
<Klemtest>
Step 1.1 - go and download Hard-SPL-p3600i-V1.1.zip (810.6 KB, 438 views)
Step 1.2 - extract SPL-p3600i-V1.1.zip file onto your local drive
Step 1.3 - connect P3600i via USB, ensure you are under ACTIVESYNC mode in WindowXP (if you use Windows Vista, the you need Vista driver for detecting HTC phone at USB)
Step 1.4 - execute the ROMupdateutility from SPL-p3600i-v1.1 folder, ensure there is RUU_signed.nbh file available, otherwise the utility will prompt u for read file error.
Step 1.5 - once it executed, follows the instruction given from ROMupdateutility screen, until you see the progress bar show up, meanwhile u will notice that p3600i phone will prompt you for ROM upgrading message, click "Yes" to accept and proceed. Sequence pop-up message will be asked again in p3600i for using JumpSPL.exe to unlock CID,
Again click "Yes" to accept and proceed. ROMUpdateutility will complete 100% and your p3600i display will be turned to SPL-3.10 Oplira in bootloader mode now (if the ROMupdateUtility indicated there is update error, just ignore it and exit utility screen)
don't switch off your p3600i, let it continue showing SPL-3.10 Oplira in bootloader display.
Dude! you're now ready for step2 to flashing your favor WM6.0 / WM6.1 once you manage the "nbh" file which I didn't done it properly!!
So, I assumed you have downloaded the working ROM and extract them in local folder as stated in Step-2
Step 2 - So, what I did was to download RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite extract into its own folder (Mary seems to work as well)
Due to p3600i is manufactured with 256 NAND, memory address for storing "OS.nb" slightly difference compared to p3600 (CHT9100) with 128 MB RAM.
Hence, ajajaj advice to use ROMBaker.exe to exract "XX_OS.nb" your favor OS ROM (usually named as RUU_signed.nbh) that you downloaded and re-build it using NBHGEN.exe.
All this stuff is available here Custom RUU tools
In this case, 2 screens captured below showing u how to distingish it
(for wrong re-build of OS.nb at 400)
C:> NBHGEN.exe new_nbh.txt
TRIN100
SuperCID

601,03_SubSplash.nb
900,04_ExtROM.nb
300,05_GSM.nb
401,06_OS.nb
you can follow the step below until step9 if you're not familar of using custom RUU tools:
Step 3 - then download the custom ruu updated from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295113 - also get the rombaker for trinity as found further down in the post.
Step 4 - unzip the custom_ruu stuff, put in the downloaded trinity rombaker to replace extracted rombaker,
Step 4a - Copy ruu_signed.nbh file that is found in folder created in Step 2 to the rombaker/workshop folder created in step 4
Step 5 - then use nbhextract (created in step 4) to extract the ruu_signed.nbh file that is now in the workshop folder
Step 6 - watch the output. (for file names)
Step 7 - Run the rombaker program and load the extracted files into their places (as referred to in step 6), then click generate NBH
It will ask you to save a file. call it new_nbh (or whatever you want) -
Step 8 - open this file (created in step 7) in notepad, and change the number 400 (about 5 lines down) to 401 save and exit
Step 9 - then open a dos/cmd/command.com window (whatever you want to call it), cd to the rombaker/workshop folder and then run the following:
nbhgen new_nbh.txt
NOTE: new_nbh.txt should be the same as the filename created in step 7
copy the generated RUU_signed.nbh file back to the RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite folder.
Your p3600i rom is now ready for flashing
<Klemtest>
Step-10 - after you have managed to get re-build RUU_Signed.nbh file by yourself. you can proceed last stage for completion.
As I mentioned, you continue keep your bootloader screen at SPL-3.10 Oplira just now. launch again RUUupdateutility.exe
Note: At this point, your personal data from the phone will be destroy, please make sure you back-up all data before regret and ensure ActiveSync is disable during execution the flashing.
Screen1 - On the Welcome Screen, click Next to begin the ROM update installation.
Screen2 - On the next screen, follow the listed instructions in the dialog box first. When you are done, click Next to proceed.
Note: Ignore the instructions listed due to you are flashing via bootloader mode, and ActiveSync is disable.
Screen3 - The following message will then be displayed, indicating that the utility is verifying and acquiring information about the device as preparation for the update process. Wait for this verification process to finish.
Screen4 - Below the device information, information about the new ROM update will then be displayed. If you are certain that you want to install the phone with the new ROM update, click Next to proceed.
Screen5 - confirmation message then appears and shows the length of time it will take to copy the necessary files (including radio image) to the device. Click Next to begin the update.
Screen6 - A progress bar will run through the screen during the update process.
Note: In the middle of the update process, the progress bar may stop running. This is normal as the RUU is adjusting itself to complete the update process automatically. (probably will take up 10 minutes)
6. When you see the screen shown CONGRATULATION message! means update is complete. Click Finish to exit the utility. Otherwise, you will have trouble now to troubleshoot per below steps!
GOOD LUCK and happy computing!
Troubleshooting and Error Recovery
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
Hello everyone!
I recently installed Android Froyo 2.2 (Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS15 All Language), following mainly this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=602, and also reading many others, about hardspl etc.
Everything went perfect! The phone workes just fine, full functioning!
My problem is that, after deciding to go back to windows mobile for selling my phone, I followed these steps :
"Switching back is very easy. All you gotta do is download your favorite WinMO rom, and rename RUU_Signed.nbh to KAISimg.nbh and place it on your SD card along with KAISDIAG.NBH.
Place the SD into your Kaiser and hold the Power button and camera button down, then take your stylus and hit the reset button. Follow the instructions on the screen to flash your Kaiser. When the flashing is done you should be back to running Windows Mobile."
I downloaded the shipped rom RUU_signed_WWE_1.56.405.5_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.17 but the update process stopped at about 1/3, and the phone rebooted with Android OS.
Also, when I press the power button+camera button, for a new update flash, after the three colors screen(KAIS130, SPL-3.07.0000, CPLD-8), the message "Loading..." appears and stucks.
I guess, my phone no longer has hardspl, and there is no way to put it back, neither put back the signed rom, if there is no WM os????
Any help/suggestions???
Thank you very much, in advance
I suggest you follow the tutorial switch back to Windows Mobile by Dukenukemx ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6461906&postcount=1
looks like a really lost hardspl. Maybe this will help you get back to windows http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Kaiser_stuck_at_bootloader

One question:
What version radio was on the phone BEFORE attempting a WinMoBlows flash?
It looks like the shipped rom had the 1.27.12.17 radio included in the bundle and, if so, this would explain the error in flashing.
One thing to check would be at the bottom of "Settings" page, touch "About Phone". Towards the bottom you will see "Baseband Version". The numbers at the end are your radio version and should be the original radio numbers. If it says "1.27.12.17", you've found one problem...
I would say follow dukenukem's post and try to reflash HardSPL again.
I haven't run into this problem yet since I will probably never sell either of my Kaisers... lol.
same problem at my place...
installed android, about 2 month ago, wanted to switch back to win and couldnt do it that simple as say "Switching back is very easy. All you gotta do is download your favorite WinMO rom, and rename RUU_Signed.nbh to KAISimg.nbh and place it on your SD card along with KAISDIAG.NBH. " in Dukenukemx's tutorial.
I have tried everything putting on sd card many ROM's Hardspl's, then i found this on my pc RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88. 07_1.27.12.11_Ship when i try to flash via usb (manually enter bootloader and connect usb cable) it get to 1% and reboots and ond rom update software says ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID and above Exit button says: VER4-KBKV5867-HUEbc568-KBKV58670...
and when i try same rom to flash via sd card it says
Loading...
Checking...
0028002
Not Allow
with any other it stay's at 0% on phone and nothing is showed, then on RUU says ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR and down is button Recovery, tried a lot's of times nothing...
Then i saw that you PoXFreak said to check radio in baseband mine is 1.65.17.56
any sugestions please?
Another user with problems...
Tried a return from android to windows mobile because of the random locks that were happening in android (also some other weirdnessess...)
Now when it is put a microSD with kaisimg or kaisdiag it goes into white loading screen and stay there...
(tried flashing Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2, that seemed to be the one who came with my phone)
The baseband message somebody talked above shows only "HTC"
When in tricolor bootloader the following is showed:
security unlocked
KAIS***
SPL-3.28.0000
CPLD-8
(Still gonna try updating it connected to the computer, seems like usb and serial dettection are working, for it will dettect the charger connection and start showing USB in the lower part of the screen, battery got very low overnight, still needing to charge it to really do some test)
_____________
Update:
Flashed ok through USB, just entered tricolor bootloaded, connected usb and executed the original rom installer.
hello everyone
I used to have this kind of problem.. my hard spl broke when i tried to flash a stock wm rom from android.
In my opinion, each stock roms comes with specific SPL, radio version, etc. It means that when you are trying to flash stock rom, you also flashing new SPL. the problem is, the new SPL broke your hard SPL so you won't be able to flash anything to your kaiser except your original stock rom which comes with your kaiser.
you can find some stock roms for kaiser here : http://shipped-roms.com
Since I'm only sure that my kaiser originaly comes with WWE version I almost tried all the WWE stock roms there, but my search ended when I flashed RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.14.09R2_Ship.exe, this rom works for my phone and it seems that only this rom didn't give me "invalid vender ID" message.
so, keep trying to find your original stock rom
and after you managed to flash your stock rom, don't forget to flash hard-SPL again if you still want to mess around with your kaiser.
good luck
Another way to do it, albeit a little tougher, would be to use Oli's NBH tool and remove the SPL and radio from a stock rom. That way you get to keep the radio and SPL while flashing a stock rom.
Keep in mind that some WM roms only like certain radio versions, and you may end up having to flash an older (or newer) radio to find what works best.
