Iv searchd the forum first orry if i missed it i am wondering how i can flash a new rom onto my wing using the sd card. i flashed to pdaviets 6.1 rom and earlier today all my comps quit recognizing it so it wont sync up ive reinstalled active sync hard reset the phone i dont know what to do someone please help me
no one can help?
Please don't doublepost. If no one has answered they've either been sleeping like me in my time zone, or they don't know.
Place your phone in bootloader mode, by holding the camera while pressing the reset button. Then run the stock RUU from there.
sorry didnt mean to double post. even when im at the boot loader screen ot usually says that its connected by usb and right now it wont do that its wierd cause i can still charge it from the usb cord it just wont recognize my phone or something
Hi,
I am sorry if there is already a similar thread, but I couldnt find it.
I have a huge problem with my German T-Mobile G1. Today I wanted to root the system. I used the instructions on XDA forum and "successfully" did the downgrading to RC7 but now I cant power on the phone. It stops at loading screen with android text and logo. Nothing happens than.
I have tried with the wipe and manual update with next version of firmware using update.zip but problem is still here. My phone is now totally unusable and I can now just hope that here on this forum can someone help me.
Please give me an advice
edit: there is one more thing: I can not power of the phone without taking the battery out. It automatically turns on every time I put battery in and every time I restart. Switch off button does not work any more.
Is the usb cable plugged in everytime you pull the battery and reinsert it? Because if it is the usb cable automatically turns on your g1. Can you access recovery +/or bootloader?
Recovery = home+power
bootloader = camera+power
If you can't get pass the g1 screen by pressing either combination of buttons you are bricked. If you are bricked () Call your carrier and tell them that you got an OTA update and it never turned on since. They should replace your g1 with a new one
I dont use USB cable. I prepared the microSD card using the USB-reader dongle. But I had pluged the electric cable so that was probably the reason for automatic turning on. Ok, now we can focus on the main problem.
Yes, I can access both recovery and bootloadaer al least. As I said, I have tried with some updating but nothing worked yet. When I use recovery some of files give me message: E: No signature. E:Verification failed.
This thing with carrier could also be a problem. I bought my phone in a shop which is buying them in another country because G1 is not officially being sold in our county. They give me a guarantee but it is guarantee from the shop and not official importer, so there would probably be some problems.
Thanks for trying to help me. I hope with this informations it would be little easier.
Place the file on your sdcard again. Down load a fresh copy of the latest hacked RC and make sure (if you're on windows) to name it "update" not update.zip because the .zip is already assumed in windows. Once its on your sdcard wipe and flash it. See if that works.
Can I use hacked RC on G1 that has not been rooted yet - just now very successfully downgraded?
do You place on sd card file "dreaimg.nbh" and turn on the phone with camera button pressed ?

Of course I did it. How would I run downgrade process otherwise...
Maybe You need RC29 version
I did try with RC29 too.
Hey all,
I was trying to upgrade my Topaz to WM6.5 and obviously something went wrong.. Now when I turn the phone on, it goes to the tri-colour screen but displays the message Upgrade ROM code error please try again. After that, it goes to the white loading screen and just stays there until the numbers 00068002 in red appear at the top of the screen. Then it goes back to the tri-colour screen. I've searched the forums and tried some of the suggestions out there. Nothing has worked! Was wondering if someone could really halp me out with some step by step instructions!! Thanx in advance!
PS: I have HardSPL 1.83 installed already. That installation went well without any problems. It was when I went to flash the rom this happend.
i would suggest downloading another ROM (try the orginal ROM of your language http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576620) and copying the TOPAIMG.nbh onto your storage card (ROOT DIRECTORY). now turn the phone on by pressing volume + and power button and then follow on screen instructions.
good luck!
dont worry, just a bad flash because of a corrupted rom
redownload the rom or any other rom.
use the card flasing as described by Drag-on or remove the storage card, (just tomake sure it does not see the rom image on it). connect it to pc. wait untill it shows usb on the 3color screen. wait untill the pc is finished installing drivers and then start the customRUU. that came with the rom you are insatalling
that should do the trick
success
Here's the thing, when I connect the phone to the PC, the PC can't find the phone anymore.. Well, it is connected, but it's not showing up on the computer.. I also don't know the original rom language for my phone.. My serial number begins with HT947L, anyone know?? I tried installing from the computer but it gives me the invalid vendor ID error..
ur computer is not suppose to read it like it would normally. (it wont recognize it in device center) but its connected. use the ruu that comes with the roms u download and u should be able to reflash ur device and dont worry its not bricked.
if u trying to do it manually rename RUU_signed that u get when u download a rom. rename it to topaimg and copy it to the root of ur microsd. then insert the card into the phone and turn it on. now ur phone should recognize the new rom and ask u if u want to install it. hope this helps
I haven't been able to find a rom that works.. I've tried several roms.. I rename them TOPAIMG.nbh and put it in the sd card but it never works. The phone will go to the loading screen and then the numbers 00068002 in red appear and then it just goes back to the tri colour screen with the words Upgrade ROM code error please try again. It just stays there after. When I try to do it manually from my computer it keep sgiving me the Invalid vendor ID error. I'm totally stuck.
I don't know if this will help, but when trying to do it manually, the program says I don't have a img on the phone. the version of the img I have is just left blank.
Update: Thanks for everyone's help! I finally found a rom that actually worked. It installed and everything. I still don't know why it had to be that certain rom and I still don't know why I couldn't flash from the SD card method. I'm really just happy everything is up and running again. I'm never flashing my phone on my own again.. lol.. If anyone knows why I couldn't flash from my sd and why I had to get a certain rom even though I had HARDspl installed please let me know. I would like to know just for future reference.
Hi folks!
I hope that you can help me:
I have to restore the stock spl on my xperia in order to get the keyboard and a case crack repaired!
The initial situation was like this: X1 hard spled with custom fw.
I first downloaded a german vodafone rom and flashed this rom with the sd card method: Renamed the firmware to kovsimg.nbh, copied it to sd and flashed via hardspl. I rebooted the phone and the standard tom booted just fine.
Then I downloaded "ruusigned_072stockspl.zip" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
I extracted it, renamed it to kovsimg.nbh and flashed it... after the flashing process (the bar was full which means it flashed 100% to me) the phone showed "loading" for a while... after like 10mins I put out the battery.
The phone now starts into tricolour screen even if I dont press power+down.
its on stock SPL (shows SPL-0.72.0000) and it says "Continue to Upgreade ROM... please wait" but nothing happens..
what steps should I take from there on? I ve attached a screen which shows the tri colour screen.
Did I brick my X1?
Don't think you got much more options then try to reflash the spl. Maybe that will fix this. Do you still got usb access in this tri color mode?
nope, I dont get a usb connection
With spl you mean I should try to reflash hardspl?
If I have no hard spl, is it possible to flash a original rom with a sd card only?

thx for your advice I am sure that this will be the solution - stupid thing is: like the guy in the post you linked I have lost my micro sd to SD Adapter and therefore I cant write the stock firmware to my card -.- stupid thing...
In a hour I ll rush away, buy a adapter and then try to flash the stock rom but as it sounds from the thread the scenario is the same so I think it will work.
EDIT: This was the solution I downloaded the stock rom from the sticky thread in the Rom Section from XDA, extracted it to the sd root and renamed it kovsimg.nbh. Put sd card into X1, started X1 which automatically booted into tri colour screen - I only had to press power to porcede and everything is finde now after the flashing process! Stock rom and stock spl on my X1 thanx
simple!
i had the same problem...just rename the original rom.image to RUU_Signed.nbh then open hardspl (dnt push next)and replace the file push next ,update and it;s done!don't worry if u see the error at 0 % try to open the x1 after that and it would be fine
My TP2 stopped working ((((((
I was using it with some cooked ROM (i think it's not relevant what exactly). This morning i had my breakfast and i've got an SMS from an acquaintance. After this i couldn't see my home screen anymore, but i could still use start menu and so on. I wasn't first time as this error happened, so i didn't thought anything and just made a reboot. After this i saw bootloader screen and it was message about missing ROM shortly to see. Nohting else, only bootscreen, hard reset didn't work either. So i came home, connected my phone via USB to my notebook, powered it on and started to flash ROM. As flash was successfully complete, the phone rebooted and i saw... bootloader again!
So i don't know what to do now, anybody some thoughts?

If you have a GSM TP2 try running Task 29 before flashing the ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191 After Task 29 then reflash your ROM of choice and then hard reset to make suer everything took.
Good luck

Yes, i have a GSM TP2. As you advised, i downloaded Task 29, unzipped it and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from its folder. After 100% phone booted again to the bootloader, I went to ROM's folder and run CustomRUU.exe from it to flash the new ROM. After "success" i disconnected the USB-cable and started the phone... no changes. I still see the bootloader. And i still cannot hard reset my phone for some reason.

How are you hard resetting your phone? All I do is power it off then hold the send and end keys and press and hold the power button until a message pops up asking if you want to hard reset. Press the vol up key to reset and after it completes press the vol up key to reboot.
Just a random thought here--is it possible your volume down button is stuck?

Yeah, I do the same. I hold the both outer keys and the power button but no message pops up, just the bootloader.

It might be possible, but if i press it, it feels like its OK. However, is there any method to test all the buttons of my phone?
Any other thoughts? Without phone i am totally f*cked up, cause i am not in my hometown right now and i have to keep contact with my business partners in there.
It sounds like your bootloader is somehow broken, if it isn't a problem with the volume down key.
Try searching for information about the "mtty" utility. It's kinda complicated, but I think it's helped people in a similar situation.

Thank's I'll inform myself about "mtty" keyword. But if u say that the bootloader could be broken, maybe i should try to reflash HardSPL or go back to stock SPL?

Now I am encountering bigger problems with my device. I tried to use MTTY ver 1.42 first. I couldnt use it because there wasn't an option to choose USB-port. Yes, i unchecked "Connect via USB" in WMDC and killed it then in task manager. Then i flashed stock SPL ver 0.79, hm nothing new. Then I tried to flash the original SPL, i.e. ver 0.84 and it got stuck by 0%. I waited and waited and waited, so i had to remove cable and the battery. After that nothing worked. No flashing worked at all, even Task 29 gets stuck by 0% every time........ I dont know what to do now.....
Can you get into the bootloader still ?

Yes i do. I still see the bootloader showing me current SPL version (0.79 )
So does it still always go into the bootloader ? It won't boot ? If so, have you tried mtty to try and fix that ?

As i said above, i could not connect to the phone through mtty, but fortunately i have another laptop here with winxp on it so it works on it. I typed "set 16 0" and "task 8" and it booted again into the bootloader just like before.

Have you tried flashing a ROM using the storage card method? Might be some error being caused but your computer.
The following was taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
You might also want to try flashing from another computer.

well it seems that you have flashed back to stock spl since it is showing you spl version (0.79)
which means you will have to hardspl it again in order to flash any custom roms again but it is probably unlikely that it will not work because when you reflash stock spl you are suppose to flash stock rom & radio first before flashing stock spl i'm just guessing i'm not to sure on this 1 i could be wrong though
P.S. - just a suggestion since you have stock spl back on the phone try & flash a stock rom to see if that works

Is that maybe the problem ? Did you flash the stock SPL back onto it as you referred to earlier ? Because 0.79 is a stock SPL version, so it won't boot a custom ROM with that SPL.
So is the whole problem that you have a custom ROM and stock SPL ? I hope it's that simple, but fear it isn't.
I hope!
Hello,
if you have 0.79 hard spl,
1. you should install stock rom, not cooked. After go to bootloader mode.
2. Run Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4363807&postcount=1
3. Install cooked rom!
It is working!
I hope it will help your problem!

Yeah guys, here's what i did and what i see. Before i flashed stock SPL 0.79 i flashed stock ROM and stock radio. Then i tried to flash stock SPL 0.84 and it didn't work for some reason. OK, then I read an advice from Doo Doo and tried to flash stock ROM again. I was wondering that it worked... but as it got 100% the device entered bootloader mode again! But after this the version of SPL was 0.88
I cannot use storage card method because i don't have any possibility to get access to the card from my PC And I just tried to hard SPL my phone from another PC (winxp) so it didn't work either, stuck by 0%.
Try to older stock rom. Maybe it will install older spl...
Sorry, but I couldn't help this problem! :S
