Hi all,
I tried to upgrade my MDA compact II (HTC Charmer) to WM6, but during the first step, downgrading to the "no vendor" version I made a mistake. A used a wrong version, it was for Prophet. After the final reboot, the device froze in the splashscreen "T-Mobile". After that I tried to do exactly the same with a "Charmer" version, but it didn't help me, the situation was the same.
However, now I'm able to flash successfully only the last vendor provided ROM update "RUU_Compact_ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe", but it doesn't help me anyway, my Charmer is still freezing in the splashscreen. I tried to downgrade it , but the application gives the following error: "UPGRADE ONLY". When I try to make a hard-reset, and after that to confirm the factory settings by pressing "Yes" (green) button, the result is "Format FAT partition" and then "format is failed".
Only the bootloader is working now as well as the battery charging. Please, help me to turn back to the life my Charmer!
And one additional question: can I perform a CID unlocking just by ROM-flashing or the device must be fully operable?
Flash this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/41754719/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe.html
After that, you should be able to make hard reset. If you succeed, flash "RUU_Compact_ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe" - that.
Hello there,
I am a new use an recently got an MDA PM200. I am in exactly the same situation as petrun. I have tried the flash suggested by vlodeck but it doesn't work, saying incorrect vendor ID (I guess that's because it's for a Prophet?).
What should I do next...?
Thanks.
OK, I succeed with a little progress. Many thanks to vlodeck, I will try to explain what happend...
I successfully flashed my Charmer with this Prophet ROM:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Full link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/41754719/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe.html
But it was possible only by using this "No ID" update application, not original one, maybe because my device is still locked:
Full link:
http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
After that I succeed to format the FAT partition (finally ). But I cannot after all to flash the latest official MDA compact II firmware. There is two possible events, which I experienced:
1. When I try to use the original flashing application, I get the following response: "UPGRADE ONLY".
2. When I try to flash the official MDA compact II ROM, but through the "No ID" application, I get "INVALID COMMAND".
Just for explication, now my device cannot boot, it freezes in the splashscreen (it is Qtek now, not T_Mobile...) and the following versions could be read:
IPL 2.06
SPL 2.20.0000
GSM 02.47.21
OS 2.20.7.34
So, how I can do that? What should I do further? I would like to unlock my Charmer, but should I firstly make it operable?
Thanks in advance for your help, guys!
By the way, all described above I tried sevetal times with the same result.
The other thing is that... all links about the CID unlocking downloads, which I found here are no longer active. Any alternatives?
Rise from the dead!
Incredibly, but it's a fact! After successfull FAT formating I probably didn't wait long enough. Today I turned on my Charmer and several seconds after the splashscreen "QTEK" it successffully booted in WM5, performed all settings and finally started to work!
It's GSM module works, the Bluetooth works, I am able to start different applications. Just the camera does not work. And the most strange thing for me is that this ROM was for Prophet, not for Charmer
So, after all, how to proceed to upgrade to WM6? Now the bootloader is above ver.2.
Should I firstly flash it with proper ROM (for Charmer) or it's not necessary?
Should I unlock it as is now (Prophet ROM)?
Vlodeck, I rely mostly on you, since the WM6 with Touch FLO is your creation.
Thanks!
You dont have to CID unlock. Just flash that WWE T-mobile WM5 AKU2 for Charmer. Good luck.
Maybe I am boring, but steel need an advice: I cannot flash "WWE T-mobile WM5 AKU2".
1. The original RUU gives me "UPGRADE ONLY", maybe because my SPL after flashing the Prophet ROM is 2.20
2. This "NO ID RUU":
http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
reaches 2% and gives "INVALID COMMAND", after that - only bootloader screen.
3. This "NO ID RUU":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42657&d=1183226200
cannot open the nk.nbf image (but works with other images), I don't know why.
What is the solution? Any ideas? Maybe some tool to downgrade the SPL to ver.1? I tried (it perhaps was bad idea)"RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship" and IPL became 1.12, but SPL remained 2.20... and Charmer didn't boot after that. After flashing the Prophet ROM it works again and IPL is 1.12, SPL is 2.20
In brief... how to flash successfully the last Charmer ROM?
If you cant flash the AKU 2 charmer rom, then go for AKU3.3 rom (can be german, that doesnt matter). Once done that, flash wm6.
Success
Yeah! Thanks to vlodeck now everitging is all right! I flashed the original German AKU3.3 ROM by using this RUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42657&d=1183226200
(The original one gives "INVALID VENDER ID", of course, in German ) After that - successfully upgrade to WM6 TouchFLO.
Briefly:
1. First try to flashing WM6 - crash! The reason: old bootloader version (IPL/SPL = 1.12).
2. Flashing the Prophet ROM - success for FAT formatting. The Charmer turned back to life.
3. Flashing the German AKU3.3 ROM from T-Mobile, but through the No ID RUU.
4. Upgrade to WM6 TouchFLO by vlodeck. At the begining I reached the same problem, as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331717
but after istalling cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab in my device I succeed to finish the process.
Thanks vlodeck, good job! This ROM is really amazing!

GSM 02.19.21
OS 4.0.0.0
PLZ DEAR SIR WHAT IS SOLUTION OF MY MDA C2
MDA2 CANNOT CONNECT WITH ACTIVE SYNC
Of course it cannot connect with ActiveSync, the device doesn't boot. One certain solution for bricked Charmer is Prophet ROM:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Use this link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/41754719/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe.html
In order to flash this, you should enter the bootloader, without using the ActiveSync. After that try to perform a hard reset, you probably will succeed to format the FAT partition.
if you cannot connect the pda to pc HOW CAN U PUT THE ABOVE PROPHET RUU ON CUREENT?
I have a charmer and I was trying to update to wm6. I can´t because the ipl is 1.12. I updated rom to german aku 3.3. But I can´t hard reset. format error. I´m trying to put prophet rom to format it, but when I send the prophet rom, it always give me an error at 95%. error 326 - this nbf file cannot be used fo your pda phone. please check your nbf file. the aku3.3 rom flashes ok. any idea?? I try tu send a radio rom. after that is the same. 95%error. please help. I can´t bring my charmerback to life.
Hello together,
I have the same problem like _mestre_.
I updated from T-Mobile AKU 3.3 GER to WM6 and flashed back to WM5 without problems, but when flashing again to WM6 from vlodeck my charmer didn't boot anymore and had that "Format is failed"-problem when making a hard reset. I could not recover my device until now with the method explained in this thread cause of the problems "error 326 - This nbf file cannot be used for your pda phone". So the Prophet Rom does not seem to work with boot loader 3.x. Has anyone any idea? Please help! Thank you very much in advance!

same problem here... any suggestions or is my charmer bricked?
Hi guys,
this is one of my first post here but I read you everytime. So, the problem now is: my P3600 don't want to flash with any rom.
I've just take it back from assistance for to change the black cover (2nd time...) and when I want to flash, as before I was given to the assistence, with udK 6.1 rom it don't want to flash with any other roms!!
I've now download the Lite version of udK 6.1 and install it but when I've discovered that I prefer the full version that's start the never ending story: I tryed to flash with Full version 2 or 3 time already, the installation goes to 100% but when it restart (should it restart not power off?!?) the rom is always the same Lite version. I tried to use also the official wm5 from HTC without manual entry into bootloaded but after flashing is 100% the rom is always udK 6.1 Lite. I have SPL Olipro 1.20 installed (in the past I've had no problems at all!)
Anyone can help me to flash (with lowest risks) my P3600 again?
Thanks to everybody!
no ideas guys?
so no one can help me with an idea???
What version is your Trinity? P3600 or P3600i? Just to confirm eventhough you mentioned P3600 in the subject.

it's a P3600
Do a hard reset and flash an OFFICIAL ROM from SD-card
Switch to Des' Crash Proof SPL and try flashing the ROM straight from SD card.
This should work.
thank you very much. I've already tried to change to Des Crash Proof but at about 13%-14% it gives me an error when I reboot by softreset the system is always the same. Is it normal? Is there a specific procedure to change SPL software?
If it works at all after SPL flashing, then you must have followed all procedures. Try flashing Olipro's SPL and scan for bad blocks in flash.

Hi all,
i have a big problem flashing a new wm6 rom to my wizard. The wizard is CID unlocked following the How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial! tutorial.
I had 2 WM6 roms on my wizard - 1 of them was WM6 crossbow, which i used a couple of months - both flashed w/o any problem and worked perfectly.
Last day i decided to flash the TNT touch flo rom but the install wizard ended with error on 99%, then i tried the TNT professional + home - same result, then i tried to flash the crossbow rom - same result. Then i returned to the unlocking howto - and followed it again but i can not flash wizard_love rom (ands at 98%) and Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 (ends at 85%). I tried the whole procedure many many many times... but unfortunately the only rom i can flash w/o any problems is the t-mobile rom. Nothing else works...
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks!

I think you would need to downgrade your SPL.
So you would need to reinstall SSPL, then just install HSPL 1.83, then the 6.1 ROM. You will probably have "commercial use" issues to reinstall 1.83 so I would send the Olinex team an e-mail first before trying.
thanx Bruce Inman for u'r reply.i'm waiting for
hi Bruce Inman
I did what you said before.downgarde hard spl to 1.8 ver and then flashed my topaz with wm6.1 cocked and stock but didn't work. in boot session reboot cycling occur.
downgrading spl is not necessary i think, because i have also downgraded 6.5 to 6.1 last week, and my topaz got the latest hspl. last year i downgraded my kaiser to 6.0 and 6.1 with the latest spl.
i think the rom image you acquired is damaged, try re-downloading it
@Carrier
hi
i tested many rom cocked and stock .when i bought this damn topaz it was wm6.5
i think all fu... HTC are slow ,unstable .
I tried the same my self with official ROM from HTC. I didn't have to downgrade SPL because my phone for some reason is unable to be flashed HSPL Olinex ??
Operation run smoothly but after finishing topaz entered a constant reset loop after boot screen
I run out of ideas ...
Hi all,
please if someone can help me solve problem.
I got few days ago Touch Diamond2. It has WM6.1 ROM on it. I tried to upgrade with official ROM from htc.com to wm6.5 but it hangs on 18% with error "communication error". Phone turned on in recovery mode. After that i tried flashing with custom roms but no luck again. It hangs on HTC screen when booting and nothing happens. I flashed it back with shipped 6.1 ROM from HTCpedia and it started normal.
When i start it in boot load mode it states 1.33 Olinex SPL. Do i need to put original hardSPL before upgrading to official ROM or there is something else i am missing?
Tnx in advance

updating your Hard-Spl to HSPL 1.83 first ! in order to flash WM 6.5 rom or custom rom
Hi and tnx for quick answer.
Just to confirm. I need to update even if I want to flash official WM6.5 rom from htc.com?

I think it could, try it !
Doesn't the official WM6.5 ROM update include an embedded SPL though? Although if flashing from official ROM to custom ROM or vice versa you'd definitely need to update HSPL.

Please Read Carefully the instruction for installing HSPL 1.83 or better to upgrade it to 2.51.OliNex.Make Sure U Have a internet connection on as hspl needs internet to install.
