RUU Fails since i upgraded to a WM6 ROM?

Hi everyone,
First and foremost, let me introduce myself, I am known as wizzkidd (a name that often is used against me at times like these). Aged 27 from London, UK. I'm a typical mod-freak, modding anything and everything possible from PSP's to Wii's to Cable TV etc etc.
Anyway, I've got a SPV M700 (aka HTC P3600) branded on Orange UK running Windows Mobile 5, and everthing works fine. I found this wonderful site when I was researching into the amazing additions and power of Windows Mobile 6.
To my amazement, I soon realised it would be possible to upgrade to WM6, so off I went reading through the forum....
To start with I realised I needed to perform a CID Unlock (and whilst at it, I done the SIM Unlock too) before I could proceed. I done this perfectly fine.
I then found the first ROM that looked impressive as it was based on WM6 and had a bundle of goodies baked within it. (im learning the terminology too, hehe), it was a PDAViet ROM (latest to date)... I followed the instructions and hey presto, my phone was a fancy WM6 version with loads of impressive goodies installed.
After search for more stuff here, I found loads of interesting stuff. But firstly I decided to install the Hard-SPL into my phone for my own protection when doing future ROM flashes.
What caught my eye was the Touch Flo stuff, so I wanted it. Searching through the threads and the progress in development, I soon found a Wizard ROM that includes Touch Flo, and based on user suggestions and feedback, I decided to go for NBD v7.4.
My problem:
- (currently running PDAViet ROM: 02.07.06.PV and have Hard-SPL integrated)
- I double click on the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"
- I tick the "I understand...." and the "I Completed the steps..." boxes
- (the USB cable is connected and ActiveSync 4.5 detects the connection fine)
"Verifying the information on your PDS Phone..." displays for about 4 seconds...
The RUU displays the current information about my phones image, and has a "Update" button to click to update the current ROM version, so I click it...
The RUU displays some verify checks such as
FROM
model ID: ""
image version: "02.07.06.PV"
Language: ""
TO
model ID: "Wizard"
Image Version: ""
Language: "WWE"
I click next twice... the phone boots into the Hard bootloader (SPL-1.20.Olipro) and the USB connection disconects and then reconnects at this point (i can tell this by the audio sounds), the RUU displays the progress bar at 0% and nothing happens, the screen on the M700 stays on the bootloader screen, and the RUU stays on 0% - this lasts for about 15 seconds, then the RUU says "ERROR [264]: CONNECTION, and gives me the option of clicking the "Recovery" button, doing so, and following the instructions, leads to a final message saying: "Error recovery has been successful and the update process is ready to resume. Exit recovery and run the RUU again."... I try running the RUU again, and im back to sqyare one again!
I've even tried using the Soft-SSL (by Des), but the progess bar stays at 0% and the bootloader stays on the screen.
What could be wrong?
PS Thanks for reading and thanks for your patience if you've got this far. lol

Don't flash a wizard rom onto a trinity rom. Only flash trinity roms. That's like trying to flash moto razr firmware on it. Not meant to insult, just telling. I hope your device isn't bricked.

what you're doing wrong is flashing a Wizard Rom on your phone. There's a reason that the forum is divided in to different sections for different phones.
Think of it this way.. would you put a Wii mod on your PSP? you're lucky that the RUU has saved you from carrying around an expensive brick.. read a little more.. flash a little less..

Ohh I see, I didnt realise 'Wizard' was a different model name, I assumed it was a Wizard in the sense of an 'Easy Install For All...' type ROM, (ie If you was to use a wizard when creating a chart in an excel spreadsheet, catch my drift).
My bad for mis inturpreting what a 'Wizard ROM' was. Ooops. Well, my device still operates pefectly fine anyway.
Do you know anywhere I can get a stable version of Touch Flo for my device? Preferably cooked in a ROM, because I used a alpha version of the Touch Flo .cab file, and I had nothing but problems.
Thanks

there are no trinity ROM's to my knowledge with touch flo built in... should be coming soon now that official Dopod WM6 ROM is out... keep an eye on the trinity mobile 6 forum (and not on the Wizard forum haha)

lol. OK.
I noticed you're using the same ROM as me at the moment. Have you tried installing the Touch Flo (Alpha) cab file and managed to get it working by anychance? (eg. No black screen)

didn't work for me. I couldn't really be bothered to mess with it too much as people have such varied results. Someone will cook it in to a ROM before long. Look out for mun's Indigo ROM.. he said he'd put it in.

Reverting back to HTC ROM and SPL for warranty return?

At the point I am I need the help of experienced Users from the community.
I flashed a original HTC Wings (S730) with WM 6.1 ROM. It runs perfectly until I got a hardware problem (radio) . This is the reason I have to send it back to the official service.
Therefore I tried to go back to an official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WINGS_WM61_Alcaline
At first I flashed the earlier backuped Bootloder via sspl-0.91-wings.exe. This seems to be okay. But as I tried to flash an official ROM from the site mentioned above, during the flashing process I've got the note 'ERROR 294 Invalid vendor ID'. What was wrong? Did I forget any step?
Please, is there anyone who can describe the correct way back to 'warranty' for a newbie?
Thanx a lot.

have you tried all the ROM's? there is one prerelease and two release ROM's.. try both of the release roms, they might be for different production models/locations.

I tried both official released ROM's (signed as 'Ship'), not the prerelease version.

and if you first flash the shiped rom (with hardspl) and when done flash the back-up of the spl

With reference to an earlier statement of bigflavour in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383617&page=17
I flashed back the original SPL at first.

Too bad It seems to be that I have a new problem now. Few minutes ago I have tried to reinstall hardSPL on the device via the well known sspl-0.91-wings.exe running on the Wings. But as I started the sspl, the device shows on the display that 'Access denied....is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate'.
Thereupon I thought I had to 'application_unlock' the device. After running the SDA_App...Unlock on my PC the display message shows succesful unlocking process. B U T, the sspl doesn't run as before.
Now, I'm totally confused. What has happened??

It's flavor, and unfortunately, I have no idea how to help you.

Probably tried the European english's spelling hehe.
Also This does seem like an odd problem, have you tried for kicks doing the factory reset to see if it will reset some of the registry and maybe fix your issues? I dont know anything about the spl's since I have no need to upgrade to 6.1, I wouldnt imagine it causing any more damage but again I dont know what all was done. I havnt followed those threads for a long time.

Thanx a lot. Apparently, the hint to make a hard reset hits the mark. Now I flashed back the HardSPL. So I'm back at the starting line . Does anyone knows if the official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._WM61_Alcaline is the latest one and can I use it for the warranty return?
Or should I look for an original German HTC ROM?

I was a little bit to fast. I will need a German ROM definitely, because the ROM from the Wiki doesn't include a the german language option.
Is there anyone who can help me with a original HTC S730 ROM for the german market?
Thank you in advance.

Hallo HSN,
if you give me a introduction how I backup my ROM, you can have my one. I own a German HTC S730. But I am confused when I read all threads about flashing etc....
One page introduction how to back up and you can have my one.
But I think that the Repair center here in Germany, doesn't care about the Rom you have installed.

Corrupt HD?

Hi,
I've just upgraded to a new Dutch rom, but since then I only have trouble.
I get different colours (like drivers are not loaded), it keeps getting stuck or resets itself, and nothing helps.
I've tried to put on a different rom, with succes, but I still have the same problems.
On startup, however, I see the right colours.
I also put back the latest original ROM, but no luck...
Can anybody help me?

guessing you have hspl 1.14 installed

Yeah, I reinstalled that, as one of the latest things I did.

The problem you describe happens when you flash a 1.56 based rom with 1.14 HSPL. First flash a stock 1.56 ROM (a new SPL is then flashed as well) or use the new HSPL. Then you should be fine. So no, it's nor corrupt!
For more info, read crackwhore's guide (sticky)

Well, I'm trying to do so now, but it keeps getting stuck at 0%...
Does it matter I have an NLD-version, and not a WWE?
Update: I cannot get a proper connection via activesync, and through the bootloader it stays at 0%, and after a while the update utility says no.
Update 2: ah, thanks to troubleshooting, it looks fine!
THANKS!

Changing the language

Good morning.
Having looked around a bit, I kept getting directed to XDA Developers so here I am. From various searches I have found out the following and I just wanted to confirm it before going further.
My problem is that I bought a HTC Touch Diamond 2 phone yesterday and all the menus are in Dutch. Changing the language in settings only seems to affect the date display, everything else stays in Dutch. I want to change the whole lot to English.
I read that this is not possible within the OS and that I must install (flash?) a new OS / ROM thingy. I looked in your guide but the link to shipped ROMs gives a 404 error.
I looked on the HTC site and they have a Rom Upgrade Utility, however based on my phone's S/N HTC will only link me to an upgraded ROM in Dutch. The file they ogffered me is called;
_HTC Touch Diamond2_QMR_RUU_Topaz_HTC_NLD_1.39.404.4_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship.exe
Clearly this isn't going to be what I want, so I played around with the S/N and eventually found a number that would link me to what I *think* is the right ROM
The downloaded filename is;
_HTC Touch Diamond2_QMR_RUU_Topaz_HTC_WWE_1.39.405.3_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship.exe
I plan to follow the HTC site instructions to install this to my phone (so not installing hardspl or whatever that is), is there anything that I'm missing here? I suppose my concern is that I've randomly changed characters on the S/N until HTC oferred me what looks like the right file, but it could be for an older phone etc etc. In the event that I run this and it all goes t*ts up, I suppose I can reflash with the Dutch ROM from the HTC site to restor it to Dutch, albeit with an upgraded ROM?

The XDA-WIKI is down, that's why you get a 404 error.
For a list of available official ROMs you can go to HTCPedia or to my website htc-topaz.co.cc/website => Official ROMs.
You can try to flash one of the WWE ROMs without HardSPL, but I doubt that it will work. Usually the phone allows you only to flash official ROMs for the same language/region. But with a NLD phone and a WWE ROM it might work. If not, there will be no damage, as it simply will not flash.
Btw. 1.39 is not the latest official version. The latest have a 2.53 or 2.54 version number and are WM6.5. 1.39 is the latest WM6.1 version.

Problem with HTC Kaiser Tytn II - please help...

So my problem is - I put android on my htc tytn II and it worked (well kinda) but anyway I decided to switch back to Windows Mobile...
I installed 1.27.x.x radio , found a Windows Mobile 6 ROM and put (Like in the instructions ) Kaisimg.nbh(renamed from ruu_signed.nbh) and Kaisdiag.nbh to my SD card and then started flashing... It flashed smth,rebooted automatically and started booting android again...
Then I hold again camera button + power+ reset and since then when I put EVERY .nbh file on my sd card and try to flash it it STUCK on "Loading.." If I try to flash it with USB It stays at 0%.
The only exeption is if I try to flash from USB the rom that I tried to flash before from my sd card.. then it starts 0%..1% and reboot the phone...
P.S: Please help me...I think my device is not Broken but I dont know what should I do to fix it...

To flash back to WM from android put your kaiser into bootloader (multi colored screen) Then connect to usb. Download any WM build that is recent (I suggest Phoenix 3 for this, you can flash whatever you want later). After you download it open and run the included RUU that came with it and it will flash it on there.

hmm, I also had experienced the similar problem on my 1st time flashing back to WinMo.
When you are trying to flash via USB cable and the process stopped at 1% I guess there is also a message about "Invalid vender ID" right?
and if the text in your bootloader (tricolor screen) doesn't mention anything about hard such as "3.29.0000" (not "3.29.hard")
then
you've lost your hard SPL that's why you cant flash any .nbh to your phone.
I had managed to solve this problem by flashing stock WM rom for kaiser. The rom also has to be suitable for your phone, I mean if your kaiser is originally from France, then use French kaiser stock rom. Or if you are using AT&T Tilt use kaiser cingular stock rom.
you can find the list of shipped roms for kaiser here :
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Kaiser/
If you still have the "invalid vender ID" error message, try another stock ROM.

Thanks man you're my hero! I though I lost my phone.. anyway i bought new one - Nokia 2730 Classic but Ill sell the kaiser...
Thanks Anyway ... you're god!

Have the same problem...
Firstly, I'd like to point that the reason for the hard SPL getting overwritten by an original SPL is NOT HAVING UPDATED HARDSPL to a newer version that prevents accidental overwrite. This is instructed in the previous steps before actually installing Android. That was my mistake (I had HardSPL 1.0 OliPof), and now I can't flash no rom to my Kaiser (which thankfully works quite well in Android).
What happens (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that "KAISDIAG.NBH" is a modified, standalone hardSPL that will flash to the phone the SPL that comes with the "KAISIMG.NBH" you put in your SD card with "KAISDIAG.NBH"). In my case, I used the WinMo 6.1 spanish version 3.29.412.0, which, resulted in my phone being flashed with the original SPL 3.29.
Now, it seems many users have fixed this locating the correct stock rom and flashing it in their Kaisers. But to others, like myself, nothing seems to work. I believe that this is because we not only need a stock rom for our specific Kaiser model, but also it has to be compatible with the SPL that accidentally got installed in the phone. The problem is what if such rom doesn't even exists?
I'm really thankfull for all I learned by reading the forums (and from my mistakes ) and I know I'm in no position to make requests, but here goes what I think could help the users like myself to fix this, if posible:
1) Guide to identify what model of Kaiser we have (maybe it's already there, I just couldn't find it)
2) Complete list (or lists) of stock roms (There are some around, those are easy to find I think, but it doesn't hurt to share different sources)
3) Something like a JumpSPL for Android would be more than awesome...
Thanks in advance to everybody, sorry for my own stupidity . Any idea or help would be much appreciated,
Daniel

hmm, I'm not sure if it has to be compatible with the SPL.
In my case, I was flashing a very old WWE stock rom which has original SPL 1.56.
I also had been very desperate because any stock rom I found seems doesn't work and I even didn't know where originally my kaiser came from because I get it from my uncle. So I tried to flash any WWE stock rom I could found but nothing works. I read from Wikipedia that based on my phone model (Kais100), this model was only sold as AT&T tilt for US. But the problem is my phone is HTC branded, not AT&T tilt. Well, based on this information I also tried to flash some cingular stock rom but the result was just the same.
After contacting HTC Customer care, I know more info about my phone. They told me that based on my phone product ID, my kaiser was originally shipped for US, but unfortunately they can't provide me stock rom for my phone model. So I searched myself but this time I had better objective : to search HTC branded rom but for US.
finally, after days of search. I've found the rom that is suitable for my phone. Its called HTC WWE Brightpoint US which has original SPL 3.29 at the bottom of the list on the website I told you on my previous post.
few weeks ago I also accidentally overwrite my HardSPL again, but this time I did it with the stock ROM which has original SPL 3.29. But this problem also solved by flashing the stock ROM I've found before via USB cable.
So, I guess it has nothing to do with spl version.
Keep tying don't give up.

Update: Step 1 completed! YAY
Using the serial number and some obscure google searching, I came to the conclusion my KAIS130 is australian. Cheers, mate!
I verified this by being able to download stock roms from the australian HTC site with my Kaiser serial number. But at the moment of writing this, have downloaded two roms and no luck yet. 5 minutes remaining for the third one... Wish me luck...
Daniel.

Well... Now what?
Tried all four rom-like thingies I could download on the HTC page, all of them returning error 294...
Now what? try to somehow extract the .nbhs from the exes and and use customRUU.exe? Try to flash from SD card?
Please help... Any ideas... I really want to get rid from that original SPL3.29.0000 It's evil!!! I think it won't never let me flash again.
Thanks,
Daniel

sorry to hear that..
well, extract the .nbh from exe and flash it via sd card is the method that made me overwrite my hard SPL in the first place.
hmm, did your phone comes with operator brand, such as three or something?

No, it's HTC unbranded. Now, something strange here: the label behind the battery has the serial number: HT830GB06075 and the P/N (guess it's part number) :99HCY194-00, but to the left of the camera, another label with the part number: 36H00563-00M and below says DATE:061107(TB02)/US.
I don't know if that's normal, but it caught my atention because my phone seems to have been dissasembled (little label over screw is teared). Maybe my Kaiser isn't Australian after all...
