XDA 2s Upgraded to wm 5

Hey all.
For once, I upgraded to wm 5 without any problems, well so I say.
Theres a few things, that I could do with.
When I originally tried upgrading, I copied the cab files etc from the ext rom ( o2's ) and I fancy installing some of the fixes they provide, but each one is called customization tools, so each time i install one, it uninstalls the previous. Any way around this?
Also, the joypad between the green and red phone, when the dialpad is open ( pressing green phone ) I used to be able to press up to view my contacts and down to see my history. Anyway to fix this?
One last, do the developers out there. I developer software for the ppc and windows using .net and cf.net. I would like to access the sdk of the phone it's self, which I know you can use CFNET's own framework to access certain things. But if theres anything else, i'd appreciate a heads up on it?
Kind regards
TIA

Thanks qyach

hijacking my thread lol
The previous versions were complicated, you had to get device id's etc correct or your phone was useless. So I downgraded back to shipped rom and lost my ext rom auto install feature.
This one, basically backup, unlock your rom, copy a file to the correct folder and run the exe, after that it's some complicated button presses and your in.
A tip! don't set a password when it first asks you. I did this on the last rom, and it locked me out completely. Not sure if its been fixed.

Windiws Vista and Rom

I was trying to change my rom in Vista RC2 yesterday and could not get past the bootloader screen. it was late and I didnt get to mess around with it nemore.
has anybody had any success in this?

To the best of my knowledge, you need Active sync version 4.1 to make progress with ROM upgrade.

Are you able to sync using the new Windows Mobile Device Center? That is, can you do more than sync music like in RC1? If not you still might need to do the WHOS hack to get the device download.

You still need the hack.

I got it to work once by putting the device into bootloader mode first. But that was with RC1-5728. Did you give that a try?

Yes I did try and got frustrated. Read the wiki and found the info I posted above. For those interested, MS just released WMDC beta 3 today (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Microsoft_Windows_Mobile_Device_Center_x86/1160408330/1)

Please point to the "wiki". Is it on this forum or elsewhere. Thanks for the link to b3 of WMDC.

Sorry dude, this was some time ago. I read it up either in WIKI or on the forum. And I have always used Activesync 4.1. Tried others and WMDC without luck.

Ok you got 1 answer ... Lets take this a little more simple ... Goto microsoft site and download activesync its free . Thats the MAIN program you need for your phone to communicate to the computer. After that the rest is reading and figuring out what you want to do . If you want to flash other roms then you will need to HardSPL .......

HTC TYTN II - How to recover from bad flash.

Greetings everyone,
I would like to ask for some advice.
I bought a HTC TYTN II and wanted to flash it to a ROM I found on the forum.
But to do that I had to use nueSPL-2.47.exe
That turned out to be a mistake as at the moment it started formatting to FAT32 the screen freezed. And I waited for around 15min. But nothing happend.
Now needless to say the device does not function. I tried a hard reset(Camera+Power+Reset) and just (Reset). But all I get is a screen darker than the pits off hell.
I am able to get the power light burning but that is it. Already tried putting the battery out and in again. But all to no avail. Maybe one of you can help me?
Thank you in advance.

Just a thought but...you might want to check the Kaiser forum instead...

Posted in Titan forum. Moved to Kaiser forum.

You flashed a Titan SPL to your Kaiser?
Oh dear, not to worry, it might be fixable...
Can you get to your Bootloader?

Confused "Tytn" with "Titan", too bad.. That's already happened, if you search for "nuespl" in the Kaiser forum you should find a thread about someone else who had the same problem recently.

uh oh... what was your radio version? does the PC still try to load a driver when you connect the phone?

Wrong firmware now that explains things.
It seems that the soft/hard reset and boot loader are not working for me. All I ever get is the power light and no screen at all.
Just my luck.
My phone was a 3G version.
When I connect it via USB it does try and load drivers but it does not find the correct drivers. While the phone was ok the drivers were fine.
Strange.

I sure hope I do not have to send it to my supplier. Because the phone is just 2 weeks old ;-)

are you able to load these drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=71038&d=1203255530
3G, okay, all of them are 3G... do you remember exact radio version. no problem if not, though.

Sorry I do not know the exact number.
I was able to install the drivers. So thanks for that.
But If I try and get onto my phone I have no folders. And active sync does not see the device. Maybe I need to use a program like artemis to get files on there?

There is of course a change I might be able to get files on there by putting my SD card in a card reader.
But does it boot from there?
Pocket controller-pro did not work for me.

Xperia Prototype - Need massive amount of help!

Hello!
In my previous post i asked for the best ROM for the X1, ive already downloaded the image file for a ROM called "EnergyROM_KOVSKY_20090805_Standard".
Now i just want to know how to Apply it to the phone.
What do i need to change in the phone before installing the ROM?
Is it even possible to change ROM in a prototype?
I also have problems updating my ROM (when i tried it before)...RUU gives me error code 262.
AS you may notice, im really retarded when it comes to this, but hopefully i will learn sometime.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.
Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3
Rom-Date: 08/29/08
Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Clock: 528 MHZ
RAM-Size: 256 MB
Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR
Firmware: R1AA017
And please: Dont redirect me to some multi thread that is named "How to flash your phone) Cause ive already tried it, but i dont understand **** there
If someone would be kind enough to give me a step by step walkthrough on how i do to upgrade just that ROM that ive downloaded. And what other programs i need to be able to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance!

deleted post

You need to check in the bootloader(tri-colored screen) what your spl is... In order to flash a custom rom it will need to say this SPL-0.72.01OliNex....if it does not say this then you need to hardspl the phone...if you follow the instructions it is easy. Once this is done then you will need this....copy the ROM you have downloaded into the CustomRUU folder and execute the file. If this does not work....you will need to format your memory card(Fat32) and follow these instructions, plus there is a video tutorial regarding all the procedures you need....the instructions are as basic as one can get.
Good luck.
Regards,
WC

You mean that no person with a general knowledge about flashing rom = busting warranty shouldnt be allowed using a phone?
How do you know anything about what i do with the phone, with what apps im using, and what im using it for?
Mind your own business and come back to the thread when you have something to contribrute.

There's a list of error messages here somewhere. Maybe you can find it here. I think the answer is here. It sais just try again after turning off and turning it back on again
btw, being rude to other users isn't going to help you get your questions answered any faster. Updating roms isn't that hard anymore, but you need to be carefull and know what you're doing. If you don't understand how flashing works and what you need to do for that, you can read the stickies in this rom section. I think it's explained very clearly and step by step lots of times.
edit: looking at all your posts, it seems you've asked the same about three times, and most things kan be found easily by google or the xda forum search. Maybe try a bit harder before asking here?
if you don't like criticism, just ignore my post; everybody has to learn to work with windows mobile, but the only way is to try a lot yourself, search, try some more, search again, then ask and try some of the answers given. Don't get agitated when not everyone is giving you the right answer in clear steps, most of the users are trying to explain as good as they can with the information provided.

the guides are pretty thorough...
if you read them its clear enough...
(assuming you want to use non official Sony roms - you need to flash your hardspl so you wont get errors... (think this is where you're stuck)...
download a hardspl and flash it via activesync)
Then
copy the rom into your sd card root directoy...
rename it to kovsimg.nbh
hit the reboot switch while holding down power and the down vol button to start the update process
this is the easiest way...
but as above, if you want shortcuts for everything and dont read the instuctions clear you MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR PHONE...

I'ts a difference in writing a post with no meaning and a post like you just did.
Example: You start a new thread, no matter what it's about. There are two guys responding.
One guy is giving you this as a answer: Lol, thats kinda noobish that you dont know how to use your phone.
The second guy answers just like you did, you gave me information and links on where and what to search for. But still points out that theres many "obvious" stuff that im asking for.
Big difference.
Back to topic. I've already figured out how to do all, i have all the files that i need.
The problem is that when i try and update the SPL to 1.00.X1 instead of thje other 1.02.Olinex (or what its called) I always get a connetion error 262.
Ive read the links that you gave me before, and it says that you need to either softreset, change usb port or reboot your computer. Guys in another thread gives the same instructions.
Still no success.
So since i've done my searching, done the exact procedure that you should do. And it's still not working. Is that still something just "obvious" to ask for?
And i apologize if i hasn't been clear enough in this thread that the phone im using is a proto. And i still haven't been confirmed by some other proto user that this method is acctually working.
I'm thankfull for all the (helpfull) responses i get. And im trying them all.
If something else comes up i will post it in this thread. No matter if its obvious or not.
Have a nice day everyone!

Looks like there's a connection error when your phone reboots to go into tri-color boot menu.
Google for USB Mass storage device, download the driver and install it and then try again.
Of course you have to find the right driver for your OS.

haha, damn, thats obvious, that i didnt think of that before. hehe, thank you!
Btw, if the phone gets into the tricolor menu, and the progressbar shows up (but still stuck at 0%) can it still be because the driver?
Thanks

if its stuck at 0% it means you're not flashing a compatible rom...
obviously you havent flashed the spl...
flash a OFFICIAL sony rom first... if you still have issues at least you know its either the 'prototype' hardware
or your PC...
which i'd suggest try flashing from another PC...

Oh, im sorry if i didnt expressed myself good enough.
When im using X1_HardSPL i get the 284 update error.
When in using the custom RUU i get the 262 error.
So i guess the X1_HardSPL application is to change SPL?
If i cant seem to change SPL i wont be able to change rom either. Correct?
Since i have the SPL that was shipped with the phone, can i still upgrade from R1A to R3A without changing SPL?

Have you disabled any of your firewall and anti virus programs when you try using the software?
I previously always had to disable my zonealarm firewall before I could uset he spl software....

Yes I've done.

yes if you have the stock SPL you can upgrade from R1a to R3a with the standard SE update utility.
which can be downloaded at the SE site under support.

The Phone is still a Proto.....
Therefor not accepted by SEUS

Try flashing the official Sony Ericsson ROMs first. No need to Hard-spl for those.

I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

And if you try to flash via ActiveSync with CustomRUU? That worked most of the times with my X1. Oh wait, that got you the error 262.
In one of your other threads someone says (or you quoted) that one of the advantages of a proto was that there's no security check, which means it might not even be necessary to use HardSPL first.
I've had error 262 a few times; just try to flash again, maybe from another computer if that's possible. You can also try to flash another rom first.
Which roms have you tried flashing? Have you tried with a freshly formatted sd-card smaller than 2 gb (although I think that won't have any effect); you can also try renaming kovsimg.nbh with all small letters, all capitals or the way you just spelled it. It might be important.
offtopic: I get your point on the reactions you get when opening new threads. Everything is simple when you now where to look or if you've done it before, but it can be very hard to find the answer when there's so much info to choose from.
That said: a topic title of something like "having trouble flashig a custom rom to prototype" sounds a bit more serious then "need massive help" with a lot of exclamation marks. That might set people off on the wrong foot.
