I have read about 10 pages of charging and syncing problems but they weren't like mine. I flashed hardspl 3.34 and then it all went bad. When it is turned on it wont charge from wall/car/usb. When I put it into bootloader, it seems like my computer recognizes it (it asks me if I want to safely remove hardware) but windows mobile device center doesn't say it's connected, nor does it show up in computer. I did a hard reset and all that. It still has original 6.1 rom. Should I flash another spl? Or another rom? Any suggestions? I really hope I didn't f up my tilt. I finally got it after I bricked my wizard a year ago.

Well, if you are in bootloader and you got the USB sign on it you are ok. Try to flash another rom or reflash your stock rom.
Yes bootloader seems to work and says usb. I think what I did was flashed hardspl 3.29 following the directions in the "flashing your first kaiser rom" thread. But when I flashed 3.34, I flashed it using usb and not an sd card like it said. I just want to go back to original spl and rom.

Let's try this one my friend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 probably you can revert back to the original spl and stock rom
What about these steps?
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)
I can't do them because my phone won't sync to my computer.

lol, I know that's exactly what I did. I was just saying, that I think that has something to do with it not charging and syncing. I'm not sure though, because I'm not a pro at flashing and all that. I can rebuild an engine, but I can't flash a stupid rom on a phone . Whatever I have to do to fix it, will have to work the next time because I only have about 60% battery left.

You can upgrade SPL via SD but you will need a WM donor phone (spare) or a card reader to format the sd card. Try that and let us know if that worked

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade my Qtek 9100 without using an USB cable but a SD card. The reason is that my mini USB connection on the Qtek is broken. So I can't connect the Qtek with my computer.
If it is possible to upgrade with a SD card can anybody tell me how.
I havn't heard of doing it this way in a while. My old T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition. "Space Needle" used to be flashed this way. You would load the Rom onto the SD card and use some type of key combination at boot to load the rom... I'm not sure that it exists with this rom and hardware...
can be done, I do it on my spare wizard that also as a broken usb socket, however you must first have a memorycard with a rom image first.

I have CID unlocked my phone so that's no problem. But how do I upgrade with a SDcard and how to make an image on a SD card.
Who can help.
put your phone in bootloader mode (make sure you have minisd in the slot)...disable activesync on your computer by stopping wcecomm process...then plug in the phone (while it's in bootloader)..then run romupdate_115.exe (look for it in the xda ftp). Then choose the usb connection (I think it's wcusb or something)..press enter..cmd> should appear...then type r2sd all (this will backup everything in the phone to the minisdwhen it completes).
Then when you put it in the phone you want to upgrade..put that minisd in the phone you want to upgrade and put that phone in bootloader. It will ask you if you want to update and press the voice command button to upgrade. Goodluck!
Can I make an image of a romupdate availiable in the xda ftp on a SDcard and upgrade my phone without connecting it to the computer.

If needed, PM Me and you can send me a MiniSD card to load a rom onto for you. and I'll ship it back. Let me know which rom you want loaded, and I will do it for you.
Actually somebody with an CID unlocked wizard can create an SD image and then upload it to the website for you to upload and use but it will definitely wipe out the data on their SD.
I'm in the same boat. My miniUSB port fell in. I need to get the t-mobile ROM back onto the phone so I have a chance of repair. If anyone could upload a ROM onto the forum that will let me update using a miniSD card I’d be very grateful.
At least I’m not the only one who's USB port has broke!
I have teh stock tmo ROM on a 128 MB miniSD. Doubt that would help, but if someone needs it...just tell me how to get the image off and I'll post it.

Assuming /dev/sda is the device pointing to your SD card reader, and /tmp/sd.img is the sd card image file, in Linux you can extract it with this command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/sd.img
And you can write it back on another SD card with this command:
Code:
dd if=/tmp/sd.img of=/dev/sda
in Windows you can use psdread.exe and psdwrite.exe, see the wiki for instructions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils/psdread.exe
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils/psdwrite.exe
If anyone makes an Original SD ROM of tmobile...Please upload it at ftp. It would help lots of people here in the forum..

My file isn't from teh FTP, its from my phone. I made a b/u before I installed X's rom on day 3 of my MDA ownership. Like I said, I think there's a way to pull the image off the card, but I'm not going to spend my time looking. If some one wants to find me instructions as well as links to programs needed, I'd be glad to post the image.

Hi. I already did a search for this but didn't find any help for a Herald.
I tried updating to 6.1 and it would not work. It would start to install but then crash and start over again. I probably tried 20 times and it would not work...not my phone is stuck on this screen with Red, Green, Blue and White stripes. Is my phone dead? Is there any hope? Thanks in advance!
This question is asked at least one or 5 times a week. Please search.
If your SPL still says 4.0.0.0, just flash another ROM. Assuming you have HardSPL setup or you were using USPL.
If your SPL says 1.0.0.0, then follow this.
Sorry like I already mentioned in my post I could not find a thread specifically for the Herald so I made a post.
My screen says IPL 4.26.0002 and then SPL 4.26.0000.

Anyhoo, have you tried just reflashing back to the stock ROM or another ROM?
Tell me exactly what you did to flash.
Went to T-Mobile site. Typed in my phone's info and downloaded the 6.1 update for Windows Mobile...followed the instructions to install. It would start installing and then stop or crash I can't remember exactly. But I tried many times. I called T-Mobile and they said I had to get a new phone. I've never flashed my phone or anything like that...I had Spb installed on it and that was it...
Well I took out my ol Wing and tried to do the update once again to remember what error I keep getting.
The update starts to install on my Wing as the bar loading bar starts to fill it stops and then tells me an error has occurred.
ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR
Some type of communication error. But I can recover. So I do and then I try again. I've done this like 20 times before. I don't know if that helps any but thats my problem...
First, find hardspl and flash then flash rom

Sounds like there's a problem with your computer talking to the phone. Try taking tmobile's ROM, take out the NBH, rename it to HERAIMG.nbh and place it into your SD card (formatted to FAT32.) Then turn on your phone while holding the camera button.

Well I think I have the ROM actually. It's an EXE file so I'm not sure how I can go into it and rename a file inside of it. Sorry...my noob is showing huh? Here's what I downloaded awhile back that I think is the original ROM you are talking about.

Good Afternoon,
First i'd like to thank everyone for the great forum we built.
Don't know if anyone explained this before, but i was unable to find.
I've always been able to flash new roms. I've got SPL 1.07.ds. Last Rom I flashed was Finix'n'over 's Ultra Light.
Today, while trying to flash a new rom, i pressed ROMUpdateUtility.exe, as usual, everything seemed ok, but when into spl i just get serial port (not USB port) and PC just can't find the device. Anyone, plz?
Thanks in advance.

You could either use the Flash from SD method, or use this Flash Utility attached. Unzip, then copy your RUU_Signed.nbh file to this folder and flash. I apologize, I don't know whose this is, but it works for me every time. I hope it works for you...
thanks for your fast reply.
Will try it as soon as i get home.
Was afraid i might had brick it.

I think now days, there are so many work arounds, that it's pretty hard to end up with a permanant brick.
If what I sent does not work, reply back and let us know. I'm sure someone will get it going again.
Update: If it still does not flash using the above method, then try the SD method. Make sure you have an SD Card in your Trinity and that it is NOT an SDHC Card. Be sure it's formatted FAT32 and has NO NAME. Unzip the included attachment, and copy the SSPL.exe to your SD Card's Root Directory. Then rename the RUU_Signed.nbh file from the ROM of your choice to TRINIMG.nbh, and copy it to the Root Directory of your SD Card.
Go to the File Explorer, and browse to the SD Card Root Directory and run the SSPL.exe file. This should initiate the Flash Process. Again, good luck.
On rare occasion, I've not been able to flash any cooked ROM. In this case, flash back the OEM ROM originally installed on your Trinity. After this flash, it will work again with cooked ROMs.
Thanks for your help. None of the methods above seem to work.
How do i flash the original ROM if i cannot flash the TRIN?

So the SD Method did not work either? Strange, try flashing the OEM, but for that purpose, I always use the SD Card method. So far, it's always worked.
Pull the RUU_Signed.nbh from the OEM ROM and rename it to TRINIMG.nbh, (I've done this step in the Linked zip file) Copy it to your SD Card and try that method... This will flash back your radio also, so you will need to update it again if you've changed it.
For my phone, I use this ROM:
This is the Full ROM - - My Mirror of Full ROM

Yours might need something else, but this works for me.

Iv'e tryed to flash HardSPL to Kaiser... Downloaded various unlockers/flashers, even SD card solution... When trying to flash over usb with some Kaiser-HardSPL.exe - after entering tricolor mode and when progressbar appears it always stuck on 0%, and nothing happens... Update utility shows error (Rom update utility encountered communication error or smth.) and sugests me to do recovery. Tryed everything - SoftSpl1.56, Softspl1.93, SSpl-kais...
Other method i've tryed - SD card
Iv'e followed instructions, formatted card, copied those two files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683) to sd card, but after resetting Kaiser it only shows "Loading..." and hangs... no restart, nothing... just "loading..." on screen...
Bootloader menu shows following versions:
KAIS130
SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
somehow... after trying another 1000 -th time... it just flashed...
Have exactly the same problem, tried all other solutions! any idea on what the last method was that worked?
When flashing via USB it will hang at 0% (and fail w/ 260 error on PC side) if the SD card is left in. I've made that mistake more than once.
Remember to remove SIM, too.
I don't have sd card and I've got the same problem...
Any ideas?
I have the same problem. I want to upgrade Hard SPL 3.24 to newer version. I always get 262 error. Also tried all possible ways (MicroSD uses FAT32, but I didn't formatted It, because I don't have SD adapter).
Sometimes It's shown that flashing complete, but HardSPL version still is the same.

Are you using sspl to upgrade? sim and sd out? usb cable or sd flash? Do you already have a hspl and are just upgrading?
If you're on an original spl you must use sspl to do it.
If you're upgrading then you can use the kaisdiag file by cmonex and an sd.
aaaaahhhhh

copy sspl.exe into your device and run it then you can flash with CustomRUU
to much better you are using ActiveSync on Windows XP

(I'm not 100% sure this is the correct forum, but since it is very ROM related it didn't feel all wrong to put it in here...)
Hi guys. After som serious flashing of cooked ROMs I decided for some unknown reason that I should try to restore a stock ROM. Now, being very tired as I was, i completely forgott that its probably a good idea to flash a new Stock ROM on the unit BEFORE flashing it with a signed SPL....so I just flashed the Signed SPL to the device. That in it self seem to have gone ok, because when I start the unit it say "SPL-1.15.0000". Problem is though that it also says "Upgrade ROM error, please try again"
Now, what should I do? Have tried put both signed and unsigned SPLs on the storage card and started up via the volume down/pwr button thingy, but that does not seem to do anything. I have also tried to attach the unit to a USB port when in tricolor mode ("USB" shows up on the screen) and tried the CustomRUU program. It finds the device and starts to "upgrade" (grey screen on the device with 0%) but then it just doesnt seem to get any further...
As the device was working fine with a custom ROM before I started all this, I suspect that the main problem proably is that I now have a Standard SPL with a cooked ROM, and that they collide sort of. I, as well as the Blackstone, is now stuck and I am all out of ideas what to do? Have also tried Hard and Soft resets, but that doesnt seem to change anything.
Help!
try removing the SD Card and put the phone into bootloader mode and re-flash the stock ROM! if this doesn't work ... still with the SD Card removed try flashing to USPL and flash the stock ROM again!
hope this helps
You can try USPL on your HD and flash a custom or stock ROM with it.

Thanks for the feedback!
Just be be sure, "into bootloader mode" is when you start the device holding down volume down and powerkey until you see the tricolor screen? Then that is probably what I have tried to do for a while now without success (total success that is, I do get into the tricolored screen)). Or maybe I am doing something wrong, could you perhaps point to a detailed explaination besides the one in "HardSPL" thread?
USPL I havnt tried, will do that! Is it still so that trying to do USPL on Vista is asking for trouble?
I read somewhere that Stock ROMs should only be flashed from internal storage, not SD cards, is that true? If so, how do I go about accessing that storage now when it doesnt show up in the file explorer on my PC (PC recognizes it as USB device, "HTC Sync" but I get no file access to it).

Or maybe I am doing something wrong, could you perhaps point to a detailed explaination besides the one in "HardSPL" thread?
USPL I havnt tried, will do that! Is it still so that trying to do USPL on Vista is asking for trouble?

I read somewhere that Stock ROMs should only be flashed from internal storage, not SD cards, is that true? If so, how do I go about accessing that storage now when it doesnt show up in the file explorer on my PC (PC recognizes it as USB device, "HTC Sync" but I get no file access to it).

bootloader mode is when you power off the device and hold the volume button down and press power till you get the tricolor screen...
so here is what you need to do .
1. remove the sd card
2. go into the tricolor mode connect your device to the pc and make sure it says (USB) at the bottom
3. run the stock shipped exe from you pc
if that didn't work then you should try the USPL version.. and there is a guide if you are using vista.. i just tried and worked fine.. here it is

and the reason i'm asking you to remove the sd card because if you have a rom (blacimg.nbh) it won't let you do anything it will try to flash from the sd card and right now you don't want to do that.
and you shouldn't put any rom into the internal storage of the phone..

What happens if you do that? will it try and flash over the flash? Proper *&@! it up?

i don't think anything would happen... the file will get deleted when you flash as the rest of the files in the internal memory
Thank you everyone! The USPL thing solved it, when I did it from a XP machine! The once bricked Blackstone is not alive an kicking again!
About USPL, I saw the workaround for Vista, but downgrading a few components to make it work just doesn't seem like a safe way to do it. And I cant help but to think that it might have unwanted side affects, ie affecting system stability. But maybe I am wrong?
Going back to shipped ROM without bricking?
Hi,
After reading this thread I am now a bit worried and, as a newbie, would appreciate maybe a "simple" answer to my question.
I''ve been experimenting with various cooked ROMs after following the guide in the WIKI for installing HardSPL and then putting the ROM file (BLACKIMG.nbh) on my SD card and installing it using the power on + volume down button method.
However, I now want to revert back to the original "shipped" ROM, which I have downloaded from the list of shipped ROMs via the WIKI (I downloaded the one which closely matched what was originally on my HD - as I didn't know how to backup the actual ROM on my HD at the time).
So, my question:
How should I put the downloaded original/shipped ROM:
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
into my HD without bricking it?! Do I just run it on my PC with ActiveSync enabled or do I need to do something to remove the HardSPL or something first?
Sorry if this has been answered previously but I get confused when a thread just makes loads of references to SPLthis and SPLthat etc.!
if you have the HardSPL already installed on your phone then you don't need to do anything more.. just connect your phone to the pc and let it sync (activesync enabled) and flash to any shipped rom you want by simply running the exe file..
