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

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

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

I have to know how to repair my phone please... nobody can explain precisely how to put my phone on bootloader using my sd card directly from my computer under vista...???
hello guys, as i have posted in other threads but no one gave me any soultion to my problem so im starting this thread.
ok i have xperia purchased from UK.
im trying hard to use jack's rom 1.07.
i have done hard spl..i started X1_HardSPL, some message showed on xperia i click yes, it restarted my device. and X1_HardSPL gave me error that it cant connect to my phone...i put my device in bootloader mode and it was showing this on colour screen:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-787
then i used the sd card way..i put the jack's rom file in the card after formatting it with fat32 format..i put the device in bootloader and after the colour screen it shows LOADING and i waited for an hour but nothing happen..
2nd way i used was i ran hardspl file again in a folder, it created some temporary files, i renamed the jack's rom to RUU_Signed.nbh and overwrite the file in hardspl folder.....it again restarted my device to bootloader and after coloured screen it showed LOADING and thats it..nothing else..and hardspl file running on pc gave me 260 or 262 error i cant remember..
so anyone kindly tell me what im doing wrong?and how to fix this

did you do this (prefereble on an XP machine)
Phone Synced with PC
run X1_HardSPL.exe
follow on screen instruction, including after getting the drivers installed on you xp or vista machine installed, so the hardSPL will make the phone in bootloader and make sure it says 100% done on you xperia. and XP VISTA
then put inte bootloader holding down volyme button and power until tricolor screen is shown, and make sure that the imgage.nbh file is named correctly.
'
then it should work.
the most common failure is that the hardspl isnt installed correctly.

DO NOT I REPEAT
DO NOT
use the hardspl custom RUU for flashing roms.
this is from the 1st post of the HARDSPL thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the Hard-SPL. use Xperia CustomRUU to flash other ROM images. for example this version: http://rapidshare.com/files/164933503/X1_CustomRUU.zip

IF you have finished hard-spl properly it should say 0.72.Olinex, I'd suggest doing hardspl all over again
thanx bro for replying...during hard spl process it never asked for any drivers, i will try this on xo machine and see what happens,
and i dont understand about customs roms, jack's rom is a custom rom right? so which hard spl file do i need ?

do the SD WAY, but remember to rename xxxxx.nbh to kovskimg....nbh otherwise it wont load it, se sticky post here in ropm section.
the driver issue is for XP AND VISTA when still in tricolor screen thn vista will install driver needed for hardspl to work (to recognise the device), as i stated the most common is that the hardspl isnt correctly installed.
hope you got it bro..
It sounds like you're getting confused between RUU and NBH
Ruu is the process for upgrading your phone with a new rom.
RUU stands for
Rom
Upgrade
Utility
nbh is the actual rom
there's only one Hard SPL available in the hardspl thread.
Run that again and let it complete, it should work from booloader mode on your phone.
when that is finished and your device in bootloader says 0.72.olipro then you can flash a rom.
If you use the SD Card method the whatever ROM file you choose must be called KOVSimg.nbh and be in the main section (root) of the SD card.
If you want to flash from desktop take the SD card out first.
Download the RUU I linked to in my last post. Extract that and make sure the nbh rom is called RUU_signed.nbh put it inthe ruu folder then start the RUU process.

read #2 post @ jack's ROM thread
Some cabs and extra files you may need.
1. X1 Panel package to add panel back (divided into sub cabs)
extract the .rar file then it'll show you the panels cab
install Jack Sony X1 Panel Main.cab first then u can install other panels
sorry cant help you with the xperia logo
ok i want to get back to my stock rom..is there anyway to do that?
how to remove this rom so i can install the orignal rom, by connecting with SE software update utility?
this rom is fast stable but its not only me how use this device.so others dont like the way programs and startmenu are showing.
Usb-driver
I have the same problem when trying to flash with XP. I have tried two different computers but have the same problem. It seems that there is some usb-drivers missing. One time i got an error in XP when rebooting the X1 that the usb-device not working correct.
Can not flash by computer
Can not flash using card
The problem occurs when trying to install ROM
Result: When running RUU. Reboot= OK, Tricolour =OK, Process freeze after "loading" apperas (when *.nbh is supposed to start loading.) SPL never finish.
Anoyone knows which driver i need?
don't forget to disable any firewalls and possibly antivirus... This was the problem for me when using Hardspl and Zonealarm suite... So switched off Zonealarm and Hardspl just worked.... [oh and any windows firewalls]
Will try again tonight without FW and antivirus...
However... i have successfully upgraded ROM using SE Update software earlier... The USB worked fine at that time.

Yes. Just download the generic ROM from the ROM thread and follow the exact same steps as for a custom ROM. Also, look for answers yourself before asking questions that have answers stickied
Spiff76, SE update uses a different way to access your phone. hardSPL can be considered a "hack", which is why antivirus etc. might detect it.
Hmmm... turned of FW and antivirus but same result. RUU freezes after reboot and tricolour. When phone is supposed to start loading new ROM it just freezes and i get a connection-error message.
I believe it has to do with the usb-connection but i can not figure out how to solve it. Have also tried ti install via card without any luck. Same problem remain... i can not get the SPL to finish.
Have any one experienced similar problem and how was it solved. It can not be a biggie but it is really ***.
As said, running this on XP. USB works fine with active sync and in usb to PC-mode.

Most probably YOU HAVE NOT DONE THE HARD-SPL FLASH FIRST
Please CHECK your tricolour screen: the world "olinex" must be there, which means you correctly flahsed the "olinex HARD-SPL" to your device
READ again. It's all written there (sticky posts)
First of all why should i ASK if there WAS AN ANSWER TO BE READ???
I have:
1. Tried to flash using exact intructions in:

Yes, the STICKY POST!
2. I have tried to flash from card whit hard_SPL:

And of course:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
I have changed cables, ports. The flash seems OK, it says "olinex" in boot-loader but it has never finished.
Have searched the forum for other similar problems and found this thread.
I do not feel the need of repeating myself. Was hoping for some help and answers...
After flashing the rom for WM 6.1 with error flashing, my P3600i bricked and could not load into window mobile, there is error 270 when installation the hard spl or any cooked rom. And check by the softawre mtty with command task 32, the cid level become FF, so I could not flash any rom because it is not supercid.
First, I need to clarify that, the P3600 not equal to P3600i, so the unbrick method of P3600 could not apply for the P3600i.
After reading many messages from forum xda, it is know that the P3600 could use the splxploit to unbrick the P3600, it is a easy way for P3600 to unbrick and then install other WM rom. However, because the rom size is different, the splxploit could not make the P3600i unbrick.
It is know that another method is using the mini SD card with fat 32 format, and Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card, then go to the engineer mode for flashing, however, I think that this method is flashing like using the USB connect PC, and for the P3600, could find the official rom to solve the bricked problem.
Finally, I found the gold card solution from the page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard
, this may be the solution to unbrick the P3600i, it is because it is making the ppc become a supercid, so you have the right to flash another rom, but this is still very complex for other models p3600i to try it.
For the conclusion, there is still not brilliant method to unbrick the P3600i except the senior member that have their professional method. Eg. Flashing the rom with other equipment directly. I think there is only two methods for me to unbrick the P3600i, but I still could not do it.
1. Flashing the official rom for your p3600i the level is "CID", only could install with the official rom. But I could not find any HTC official rom for for P3600i. You need to find the official rom that match with your P3600i, and then you could flash it in the engineer mode or mini SD card method.
2. To cheat the internal OS, making the "CID" level to "SUPERCID", like using the gold card method to unbrick and then install another rom, but this method is still very complicated for P3600i.
3. Wait.......
Futhermore, I have tried the SD card flashing method, format the SD card to fat 32 and tried to flash the p3600i with the official rom, which not same as the CID. The result is failed, so for the conclusion, the SD card flashing method same as flashing the rom from the computer, it is just using another method to flash only.
For the gold card method, I have tried to make the gold card which could jump over the CID check by the SD card, I am following the procedure of the ELF gold card, with the software of QMAT,however, when I generate the HTC gold card for my bricked device's key of trinity, the QMAT software auto shut down, so I could not generate the HTC gold card, I have tried to generate the HTC gold card for Elfin, that's is OK, but I could not use the sd card to boot my device to supercid. And finally, I could not success to flash the rom.
Finally, I have asked the HTC support to provide me the official rom because they haven't released it. They told me that the rom could not give me because this is the original rom and not the update rom, so could not give me, and suggest me send back to HTC for checking. So
I send back the p3600i to the HTC service center for checking and repair, because they have the official rom for my device CID: HTC__601, I think they just flash the device with the HTC official rom, then the device is unbricked. However, the result is very disappointed, they tell me that I need to replace the mainboard for the device to work again, because out of warranty, the price of change mainboard is very expensive (could buy another new model), I argued with them about why the fail of flashing rom, is software the problem, need to change the mainboard, they said this is the only solution to solve the problem, so I rejected their suggestion and got back my bricked P3600i.
I can only to wait for the soultion about how to unbrick the P3600i now.
Waitng the expert to
1. making splxploit for p3600i (because p3600i is 256 Mb rom)
2. the goldcard method, it is difficult to borrow the wm device from other because I dont know there is any risk for the wm
I don't know if I can help you but will try since this forum has helped me.
My P3600 is basically screwed. It's a walking zombie brick phone.
Why zombie? Because I bring it back from the dead everytime!
I dropped my phone quite badly twice in a day a few days back,
Next day I woke up... my pocket alarm had hung and I had to hard reset because a soft reset brought about the Tri-colored bootloader screen.
After that, everything was GONE... so I decided I might as well load a new up-to-date ROM. Was using Akeo's rom happily before that.
Did the usual SPL routine, new radio, new OS rom.
Installed new stuff...
But then phone would continually enter bootloader screen most of the time when I did a soft-reset. Except that it would have a terrible error message that only gave me the option of trying to restart without changes or basically reset everything to original settings (or something like that which meant everything is gone again). With the error message in place... nothing would work.
Could not reset into normal bootloader. (without the error message)
Windows mtty.exe method could not connect. (it would under normal bootloader)
Activesync was obviously disabledsync.
Flashed radio, spl and OS roms repeatedly using Des' SSPL and Olio's HardSPL 1.20 and 1.30 to no effect. It would always come back with that error on a random reset.
Then I read about the method of flashing with SD card. But this didn't solve my problem... it would come back still after a reset.
Mtty.exe from Windows XP to format nand and mark bad blocks etc.
Nothing found.
Finally, I almost gave up.
Then out of desperate measure.
I decided to leave a copy of a TRINIMG.nbh in the SDcard for GOOD!
It's basically an SPL image. Done with the NBHutil.
Used it to split out the HardSPL 1.30 spl.nb and merged it with the splash.nb and sub-splash.nb from my current OS rom.
Everytime I reset... there's still a chance it will enter bootloader mode with that horrible error message. But in such a situation... I now simply choose not to reset settings to default and instead simply pull out the battery.
Then plug it back in and power it on again. 80% of the time... it boots back into Windows mobile like normal on the first try! No loss of settings... nothing nasty. Back to normal! The other 20% of the time? I just pull out the battery and power it on more times! Till it works! Hasn't failed me yet in 5 days. Mind you, I was bricking it twice a day before this. That's progress!
I simply use SPL backup to make a full backup anyway whenever I install any new software etc, contacts etc.
Give it a shot.
I don't know why it worked for me...
Maybe I have bad sectors or something where the SPL is.
Whatever it is... the SDcard's TRINIMG.nbh works as my SPL now.
Think of it as a case of a bad bootup sequence on an old dos system needing a backup msdos bootdisk to do the trick!
Good luck!
Hard SPL 1.30 should be SuperCID and having that boot from SDcard may resolve your flashing issues. IF IT WORKS!
Thank you for your experience, I will try your method later!

I did not try another method because I have borrowed my P3600i for my friend to help me unbricked. And finally, he was done.
My friend tell me, he is trying the old official rom of P3600, he tells me that he dumps from his P3600, I dont know how he dumps and then he is using the hex editor to MODIFY (HEX EDIT) the ROM FOR THE P3600i. You could refer to this page for the modify method
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399779". And finally could success to flash the rom.
I think for the P3600i user, you could try the official rom of P3600, of the same location, for modifying the rom size, and then try to flash the bricked p3600i.
Now I could install the hardspl and try another cooked rom again.
Thank the help of my friend.
Hi guys! Need some help, my device is stuck with HardSPL 1.14 because my USB Port on the phone is broken. Any method yet that i can use to flash a 1.56 ROM or upgrade to 1.56 HSPL only using SD Card Method??
Many Thanks!!

is it 1.14.olinex or 1.14.00000
sorry, 1.14 Olinex
If i'm correct you should be able to flash the hspl by using the SD Card method.
I've have not tested this but they way i'd go would be as follows:
-download HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from this forum
-run the exe in a seperate folder, it will extract it's content to run.
-look inside the folder and see the extracted files, keep the app open for now.
-copy RUU_Signed.nbh from the folder and place in another folder.
-close the app, the extracted files should be removed by it then.
-go to the new folder where you copied RUU_Signed.nbh and rename it to BLACIMG.nbh
-copy BLACIMG.nbh to your phone's SD Card
-enter the bootloader on your phone and it should launch the option the flash as it detects the BLACIMG.nbh
-finish flashing as usual and say some prayers while you reboot your phone
All theoretical here so i'd highly advise to read up in the dummy's thread about hspl/uspl when unsure or unfamiliar with it.

righ, getting somewhere!!! did this method and it worked, now when i go into bootlaoder it says my SPL is 1.56 but it also always says 'Upgrade ROM Code Error Please Try Again' on the bootloader in the middle of the screen?
Not sure what that could be as im no spl expert but might be that the app that does it via usb actually crashes the bootloader to be able to load non htc spl. Since you cant run the app you can flash but generate the error cause it doesnt accept the non htc spl.
There is however also the following mentioned in the dummy's thread:
# Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button. You should see a message saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Do exactly what it says...
# You are done!

Dont know if you did that already but if not give it go, keep in mind the bold part tho before you loose data.
ill have a look if i can find something, tho can never hurt to look for yourself ofcourse, let us know if you make some progression.
Perhaps this will help, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
Anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe from SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is sayingn 1.07.OliNex, run RUU manually. i.e. you launch the Hard-SPL RUU (HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe) on the PC and flash.
*important*: make sure that the USB cable is plugged in and device is synced to Windows Mobile even if doing manual SSPL method.

dunno if that last note is an option due to the broken port, but sounds like a good option if you ignore the on pc part. Else perhaps going back to a stock spl would be an option.

if it says 1.56.olinex then choose the rom u want to flash
then rename the .nbh file dnloaded from the rom cooker to BLACIMG.NBH
place this file in the root of ur sd card.
now insert the sd card nd go to the bootloader.
follow onscreen instructions...
OK, after using the method suggested in post 3 i have managed to get OlinexHSPL 1.56 on it. I then installed Mary One v0.03 using SD card method. It all went AMAZING!!! Thanks doods!! I got my baby back!! Dont need to risk returning it to HTC Repairs now with dodgy spl and rom!!! YAY!!!

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
