New HTC Trinity issues

Got my Trinity in the mail today and started the process of pimping it up to xda-developers' standards.
1. Ran SSPL-TRIN.exe without problems from "HTC Trinity SIM & CID Unlock - v1")
2. Ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Dialog on PC said upgrade was successful, but screen was black on device
3. Soft reset device. Windows Mobile (green screen) shows, but never goes away. Repeated this procedure 3 times (waited over 5 min each time)
4. Hard reset device. HTC logo shows with numbers "M 05, B 05, D 1.16" showing for 5 seconds. The text "No GSM" appears for 1 second and disappears with the numbers. Only the HTC logo on white is on the screen, forever.
Any ideas? Would hate to have bricked my phone after only a couple of hours.

I can get into the three color screen. I attempted to run ROMUpdateUtility, as I wrote before, again, but I get an error message on the PC saying that the ROM is corrupted, after which my device resets. (To HTC screen, forever, like I wrote above)

Sounds like a bricked device already.
There is a lot of information on this problem in the Hermes Wiki and forum. You may find some useful information there to help unbrick.
Sorry mate.
S.K.

Is there a way I can obtain a rom that will be accepted by my bootloader? I checked on the FTP, but there's nothing there (anymore?)
If so, perhaps I could flash over to a standard one, then start over.

Check the Wiki, you will find links to some standard ROMs.

Chek here:

Will try them all now. Results with all roms thus far have been:
Progress bar on both PC and phone moves to 1%, then:
a) Phone reboots & PC displays error "invalid vender ID" or b) Phone reboots & PC displays error about image being corrupt

Good news!
I went to a HTC service center where I live (Oslo, Norway). They said they could fix it in 15 min. (flash the device with an original ROM using more advanced equipment than a USB cable)
After about 10 min. the guy comes back with the phone, which now has the exact same screen I was stuck on and concludes that the motherboard is broken. I told them how I had only owned the phone for a day and they offered to replace the motherboard for free (took a few hours).
Once I got back home with the repaired phone, I was pretty nervous about flashing it again, but everything went perfectly.

Congrats friend... let me tell you that you got balls to re-flash your new device after the repair .

Can you tell us exactly what ROM you used to update and is your Trinity HTC made ?

Always flash from the SD card!

Actually, I'd suggest adding to the Wiki that any flash should always be done directly from the SD card (as per instructions in the wiki) to avoid PC/USB problems. After bricking my Hermes because of a USB comm problem, I always flash from the card directly. Much faster and safer.
/politby

bricked kaiser

i need some serious help im desperate at this stage.
ive basically got a htc tytn ii on uk orange
i update the rom to htc standard one which sim locked it
i followed the instruction on how to get it like i got it from orange
which i believe was sucessful. but because it was still sim locked i
thought the hardspl was relocked so i ran that again which failed and ended up on the tri colour screen after which i tought it may still be hardspl locked
so i tried to flash it with the rom again it got to 17% then crashed
now my phone will only boot to the tricolour screen it wont load activesync and if i try a flash it with anyrom it either stays at 0% gets stuck or gets to 1% then the phone restarts.
ive buggered the phone up proper i need some help if there is any for this mess

when i try a rom upload it says error [294]: invalid vender id
this update utility cannot be used for your pda phoe please check your update utility

Did you install Hard SPL?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
See if you can install that and then try to reinstall your rom.

this required activesync to be green mine will respond to usb but not activesynce so i cant go any further with the hardspl unlock im stuck on the tricolour screen. and flashing will only go to 1% then restart and the message come up again.

same problem
i have the same problem and i can only get to 1% . i have tried to flash it with several roms using diferent utilities and none seem to work i used hard spl the first time when it failed. HELP PLEASE !!!!!!!

found solution
got mine working here is what i did
run mtty select usb after disabling it in activesync
press enter and you should see cmd>
type boot and when your device restarts it should start in your old rom
run hardspl again
then you need to reinstall your rom
although a word of warning my phone became sim locked after this

worked a treat many thanks it is sim locked just have to wait for the sim unlock for it now

no worries
yeah no worries, i was affraid when i locked mine i might have to return it and get anothe orange version but i used some company online and got my code in about 3 days.
oh yeah you will probably need to enter the code in twice, mine said simlocked and then network locked but it was the same code

stuck in bootloader and won't boot to mobile os

i was trying to unlocker the phone but for some reason active sync crashed and it didn't finish. then i attempt to recover and unlock again but active sync doesn't detect 262.
how do i get out of bootloader since it's stuck and hardreset won't get me out of it. nor does reseting nor powering off.

As far as I know, if you trash the ROM the device is screwed.

no fix? that means i need to go throughu insurance?

hmmm, sounds like your phone might be bricked! how about if you sale it to me half the price you got it for, then I'll take it and throw hardspl on it right before flashing a stock rom ;0)

Now it's in bootloader mode you can load a new ROM.... When you plug the cable in the PC does it say 'USB' on the bootloader screen? If so then you can use RUU to flash a new ROM. But from what you're saying you get an error when you try and do that? Hmm.
This is why I keep DIAMIMG.nbh on the 4GB just in case things like this happen then you can restore from that.
Maybe take it to a mobile phone repairer and see if they can force flash an image. I've had that done with many Nokia's but I don't know it that's possible with a WinMo device..
If you've already HardSPL'd your device then you have voided the warranty. I guess as you said insurance may be your best bet. Good luck

yes it does show usb in the bootloader. but te computer wont detect the device since acticesync doesnt recognize it. also the unlock never succeeded so its still locked but stuck in boot screen

You don't need activesync to flash a ROM when the device is in bootloader. The RUU should detect that the device is attached.

i think so. what happens if it does? im out right now and ill try asap when i get back home

You would get a specific error code. Go ahead and try it...I feel confident it will work.

wat would happen if i get a error?

The RUU would stop (most likely before flashing started) and it would report a specific 3-digit error code.

i hope i dont get error 262 like i did when trying to unlock.
will report back later when i get home

Take a look here also. If error 262 is from RUU, that is recoverable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1177210&postcount=5

yup got error 262 but i tried this and it didn't work
-> ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
the bootloader shows this
it brings me here
security unlock
DIAM500
SPL-0.57.0000
MicroP-Diam (LES) vB
PSQC Diam STAGE_EVT V20
it says this in the middle of the screen
upgrade rom code error
please try again
but when i try again i get error 262. active sync doesn't detect the device either

anyone got any idea? thanks

bump.... i keep getting errror 262 on flash

Are you trying to flash a ROM or SPL??? You should be flashing the unsigned-HardSPL before trying to flash a ROM.

xperia upgrading problem

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
thanx

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.

after that i restarted my device then i did the hardspl
and now i finished upgrading to jack's rom..job done.!!

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
Yes, the STICKY POST!
2. I have tried to flash from card whit hard_SPL:

Yes, again the STICKY POST!
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...

Diamond stoods at bootloader screen

After I get out my diamond from my pc and than turned off it cannot start, it stoods on screen when it shows me version of my radio and ROM. I know that I have to do hard-reset but i dont want to, because i were so dumb that I dont backed up my mdata and programs which Ihave installed in Memory. Is there any chance to turn it on without the hard-reset???
Thx in advance.

I dont think your phone is bricked, put your phone into bootloaded mode, connect phone to pc and flash the nbh file using CustomRUU. That should fix things

each bootloader i have tried using the different hard spl version gets as far as the progress bar but fails at 0% with 262 connection error. tried about 6 different hard spl, signed unsigned olinex, customRUU. each of them all fail at 0% of progress bar.
will try it again today.
