Error 270 -

IPL:5.04.0001
SPL:5.04.000
HTC Herald/ non-branded
ROM:
Tried to Update ROM but ive had no luck. i installed the Aserg Policy Cab, ran it. Soft reset the phone. After that the phone would not go passed the splash.
Ive put the device in bootloader, and Ran the RUU but it did not work. Ive tried HardSPLing the phone again, it did not work.
Every ROM I try in bootloader mode I get error 270 - the file is corrupt. All the herald files cant be corrupt.
If i try, running the ruu utility, without putting the phone in bootloader, the device keeps restarting itself.
I've tried the SD card method. Formatted the card to Fat32 put the nbh file in there named it Heraimg.nbh. Didn't do anything. used canonyang.nbh. didnt do anything. When i pop the SD card in, nothing happens.
Any other idea's. Someone mentions removing the spl.nbh file and running it.. but I dont see how that would help.

the SPL contains the CID lock so you should remove it if your phone is Hardspl'd
your phone, however, is not. It is possible that the HardSPL was removed by reflashing the RUU, but it has been shown that doing so generally does not bode well for the phone.

It might be due to the newer SPL. Your SPL is a 5.x.x.x series and the HardSPL was created with a 4.x.x.x series SPL. I'm not sure if that's the problem, but I wonder if that's a factor...

How do I remove the CID lock on the SPL.
I cant even HardSPL the phone anymore becuase the phone keeps booting 3% of the way. I had a TouchIT ROM on the phone as well.
Is there a way to get a RUU that was designed around the 5.0 SPL

Is it bricked? (Upgrade ROM error)

(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).

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3331078&postcount=153
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..

SE Updater failed to install new rom, what is the best thing to do now?

Hello,
I know you guys got some excellent walkthroughs, roms, programs and threads where you've helped a lot of people out but I could really use some personal feedback. I had hoped to fix my phone using one of the excisting threads but unfortunalty I can't get it to work with those.
My problem is one I've seen more of in here, I used the SE updater and it froze at 53%, I did what the program said, reconnected and it froze again at 12%, and again, again, etc. So I disconnected thinking it might be a bad USB port. But then the updater didn't recognise my phone at all. So I used the mtty program suggested in some of the threads and I got past the red/green/blue screen but now it's stuck at the Sony Ericson logo, as if WM6.1 is gone.
This is what the red/green/blue screen currently states:
KOV110
SPL-0.78.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
From what I gather this means I can't flash roms, right? I tried making it a hard-spl but when I use the tool it says it can't connect.
So is there anyway to get a rom on it and bring it back to life?
Thanks inadvance!

Get an original rom from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
copy .nbh file from the package onto your sd card and rename it to : Kovsimg.nbh then bring phone into boot loader via : vol down + power.
It should flash the rom now. i the problem is still present after that you
have to deal with mTTy but first try the flash...
i think you could also bring phone into bootloader without sd card inserted then connect usb cable, display should now print 'USB',and after that start rom update utility.
regards

Thank you for your reply, I will do as you said although I've already tried something similiar to this. I believe the problem was that I couldn't flash roms from my SD since I don't have the hard SLD. But I will try it anyway as soon as I get home.
In the mean time I would love to hear more ideas about how to fix my phone.

You really need have to flash the HardSPL first as, based in your above post, you still have not done that. It will be useless to flash cooked ROM with that. If you can still power on your phone and you have an activesynch in your computer, i suggest you download the HardSPL first and update your phone using your PC. If you are successful doing that, then you can flash all you want.

original roms will still work with original spl... but nevermind =P

My phone can still power on in the sense that it shows the Sony Ericson logo or that I can access the three collor screen. But it won't launch WM6.1. I also have a problem with updating to hard DSL. It does recognise my phone because without it connected the program finds nothing and with the phone connected it wants to start updating. It says ''updating from image version: (emply) to image version: 1.00.X1 Ipress next and it opens a progress bar on both my X1 and the PC. But it never goes beyond 0% and then gives me an connection error. I think it has something to do with not being able to get passed the Sony Ericson logo. I mean the hard-DSL program does recognise my mobile but activeSync is never active because my PC doesn't recognise a WinMobile phone (since it wont go past the Sony Ericson screen)

Really? That might fix my device then. Could you suggest a rom from the long list? Perhaps one that works on all versions? Because I'm dutch but my mobile has always been in english so I'm not sure what rom version I had. Except that it was identified as an R2 Rom by the Sony updater before it killed my X1...

Alright so I got an R1 original rom (I now realize that the R3's were originals aswell) and it worked! I'm not sure if it was the different rom or the formatting with FAT32 that did but it works again. So I'd like to thank everyone who was kind enough to reply.
The device is incredibly slow now but now I can use the hard-DSL installer, right? DOes anyone have a suggestion for a good rom to use?

DON'T hard-spl if you're going to flash a stock ROM. And especially if you're going to use SEUS.
Try flashing the R3A first. The R1s are way slow, as you've seen.

Problem after flashing Titanium Ultimate on Kaiser Tytn II, please help!

Hi, i'm totally new to flashing phones etc. I have a tytn II and was running windows 6 on it.
I Flashed it with Hard SPL, and then downloaded TPC 23053 Titanium Ultimate. It's the one on the thread that says you don't need to flash a stock ROM first.
I flashed it and all went fine, booted up and alligned the screen etc. It then rebooted itself then loaded back up. All seemed to be ok, sound and camera wasn't working. In the fourth post of the titanium thread, it says the recommened SPL and radio.
which are Recommended SPL 3.34 Radio 1.70.18.02
So i downloaded both, flashed the SPL and then the radio. Now when i boot i get a black and white image of a tribal kind of dragon. It asked me to setup the phone again so i alligned the screen again. Sound and camera now worked.
However, i was usuing it for a while and then for some reason programs stop loading, it says something like, it's write protected or make sure you have the correct security permissions. When i plug into the pc i can't get anything off the storage card or the phone, it says permission denied.
So when i reboot the phone, it keeps asking me to setup again so i lose all my contacts that i have added etc. I can turn the phone on and off and it's fine, but then eventually does the wierd permissions and access denied thing and when i reboot always asks me to setup the phone.
Can anyone help me as to why this is doing this? I read something about CID unlock etc, is it to do with that because i didn't perform this step.
Not sure why everytime i reboot the phone it asks me to setup the phone again, sometimes it doesn't, it's usually after it stops letting me open programs.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.

Maybe reflash.
You should have posted this in the thread made for the rom.

Thanks for the reply, sorry it's in the wrong place.
Can i flash back to windows 6, is this possible as titanium is 6.5 and do you know where i can find the "stock rom" for the tytn ii.
I think the problem is i didn't flash to stock rom first, but i was already running the stock rom. What was on itwhen i bought it from the shop so it's the same thing isn't it?

Obviously you must have flashed Hardspl and sim/cid unlocked your phone. Upgrade your hardspl reflash with a stock 6.1 rom from the wiki .I know it says that you don't have to flash stock first, but when flashing 6.5 roms, it is always a good to flash stock first to clean out the extended rom.
Flash a stock rom , flash ultimate, hard eset and the set up.

Thanks, i will try it now. I'm following these instructions. Do i need to do all of this including the bootloader, or just to restore the OS to step 2? Also once done do i need to reinstall HardSPL?
1. Get the original ROM for your device (HTC or ATT)
2. Flash the OEM ROM to your device (this will restore your OS but not the bootloader, we'll get to that below)
3. Copy the ROM to a temp folder and extract it, I use WinRAR, just right click on it and select "Extract to Here"
4. After extracting the ROM you should have a several files here, one called RUU_signed.nbh is the one we're looking for. Copy this file to another empty temp directory.
5. Download NBHExtract and follow the instructions in the link to extract the NB files from the ROM (essentially just copy nbhextract.exe to the temp folder where the nbh file is and run it from a command line - like so C:\temp\kitchen\>nbhextract.exe RUU_signed.nbh
6. You should now have several .nb files in that directory, the one we're interested in is the 01_SPL.nb.
7. Now you have to create an NBH file with just the SPL, to do that download htcrt (HTC Rom Tool).
8. Run the tool and under the ROM Builder tab select Kaiser, the rest on the left side doesn't matter right now. On the right side of this window click the "..." next to SPL and select the 01_SPL.nb you extracted from the OEM ROM. This should be the only thing added under Firmware Contents. Click Build ROM.
9. You should now have a NBH file that is relatively small (about 258K), copy this NBH file to a new empty directory
10. Download pof's KaiserCustomRUU.exe and put this in the same directory used in step 9. Don't run this yet.
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)
13. When you have the bootloader screen on your phone run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the folder used in step 10.
14. After it's finished verify your SPL by holding down power and camera buttons while doing a soft reset.
15. Send your device back for warranty repair or replacement.

No you don't have to do all that. That is just if you want to restore your phone for warranty return. All you have to do is go to the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs and download a stock rom to your desktop. Connect your phone and run the RUU and follow the onscreen.
After your phone is flashed with stock, just reflash Ultimate the same way.
First however , enter bootloader , depress camera and power button while soft resetting, and check your spl, if it is still 1.0 olipro , upgrade it first to 3.29 or 3.34 using this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498320
Once your phone is hardspl'd you never have to do it again

Thanks very much for your help. I have 3.29 on there at the moment, should i flash to 3.34, then flash to stock rom, and then to ultimate again.
Or flash stock rom, then 3.34 SPL and then ultimate?

You can do it both ways it doesn't matter since you already have hardspl on your device and basically you are updating the current 3.29 to 3.34 to have a better performance with the ultimate rom.

I downloaded 3.34 SPL, and transfered the 3 files, JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe and JumpSPL1.93-KAIS etc to my device, it then says to take the battery out.
However, when i do this my device hard resets, i have to setup the phone again. Because it hard resets it deletes the 3 files so i can't run JumpSPL1.56
How important is taking the battery out after transferring the files to my device. How can i get round this, shall i just run the file without removing the battery?

No, it's important to remove it. How long are you leaving the battery out for? And was it over 50% charge before you removed it?
I'm assuming you followed steps 1-4 to the letter.
1. Copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe and JumpSPL1.94-KAIS.exe to your device memory (NOT STORAGE CARD)
2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step IS important) *DONT turn phone back on yet*
3. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS!!
4. Turn phone back on and let it boot back into your operating system
It sounds like there could be a hardware problem from all the hard resets happening there. Have you made sure that the reset button at the bottom is functioning correctly and isnt blocked by any dirt etc?

I wouldn't complicate things that are more than clear. The intructions literally says the following: 2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step IS important) *DONT turn phone back on yet*. Just follow them, probably mskip for doing this tutorial spent a lot of time "trial n error". It really won't take anytime to do this step

Yep i follow those steps. I leave the battery out for about 30 seconds as it says. But obviously it hard resets so i can't do this at all as the files aren't there when i put battery back in. I have to set up the phone again.
I suppose i could just flash the stock rom, then see if that works when i remove the battery and then i can update the SPL? soft reset isn't blocked by dirt either.
If that fails i'm stuck with a bad phone

Well yeah... if you had read it all you would know that you are meant to be doing all of this using a stock rom on your device. There's your problem right there.

If you already have hard spl on your phone so you don't need to go through all the steps of flashing hardspl for the first time. Just upgrade the easy way from the SD card.
I have had 3.29 on my phone and have flashed over a hundred times with never a problem, including Ultimate several times. Just try flashing a stock rom first and then Ultimate. Then hard rest and then setup the rom. If i works great, if nt then you can always upgrade your spl later.

Stuntdouble, theres no need to be like that, some people are new to this, and if you had read my previous posts you'll see that i didn't flash to stock rom first, because i'd just got it from the shop, so the stock ROM was already on it. I didn't think i needed to flash it with the same one again first. Thanks for the help though everyone, I've now flashed stock rom, and gonna try ultimate again/

Sorry, but the amount of people on here who don't actually read FAQ's/Stickies before flashing their device don't get much sympathy from me. I think people underestimate the risks involved when flashing for the 1st time. However i've been having a bad day so I apologise for snapping.

Yeah no worries, it annoys me too when there are tutorials yet people can't be bothered and just post asking how to do something. But the only reason i didn't flash a stock ROM was because i got it from the shop so didn't think i needed too.
There is something i would like to know though that i can't find how to do. I'm trying to install 3.34 Hard SPL now, i have 3.29 at the mo. I don't have a card reader unforunatley so can't format my card to FAT32 like it says to if installing from card.
Is there an easy way to upgrade it other than using storage card? Or can i do the same steps as when i first did it. i.e, run the JumpSPL 1.56 but instead of opening the 3.29 KaiserCustomRUU, i open the 3.34 Kaisercustomruu?
I apologise if this info is anywhere, but i've read all the faqs and searched google and can't seem to find a guide on upgrading SPL from 3.29, it only tells you how to first install 3.29.
Thanks.

Off with their heads!

Ok i ran JumpSPL 1.56 and then ran the KaiserCustomRUU of the 3.34 Hard SPL, now when booting i get the dragon spaslh screen, but when i go to bootloader, it still says 1.29.
What am i doing wrong?

Fixed this now, thanks for everyones help appretiated

Possebly Bricked my Diamond, PLease Help

Dear Readers,
I have a few concerns about my recently bought Htc diamond.
The problem is that during bootup it stays frozen on the Touch Diamond bootscreens.
It has HardSPL Olinex v1.93 on it.
First i flashed back to the Stock Rom, worked fine only a couble of unexpected freezes wich made me think into using Mtty(set 14 0, task 29, task 8) to fully clear the phone and than reflash the NLD rom back on it.
Now flashing the rom went al the way 100%, and Congrats me after that.
I rebooted after that but never goes past the bootscreen with the red info lines.
So i thougt that restoring the SPL 1,93 olinex to factory setting might do the trick. But there is no way to do that since i cant get active sync to connect!
My problems is that although i can acces all bootloadmethods ,the phone is being recognized through USB, and all Rom/SPL flashes goes up to 100%. It still doesnt seem to save that rom on its memory.
and when i check the screens of the CustomRUU program it doesnt show any info add the older software version, only shows the info of the rom wich im going to flash.
If i check the USB icon on the task bar while connected to the pc, it says something like ..Qualcomm CDMA.. etc. ! the phone wasnt a CDMA version!
Any ideas?? is it Fixable or do my cats have something new to chew on??
many thanx,
Jeffrey

Copy any ROM you want to your Internal Storage, rename .nbh to diamimg.nbh, Restart your diamond and than immediately press Vol Down and back button, once in a bootloader press power button to flash rom, once finished restart Diamond, and see if ROM will be installed successfully

What to do with this link??
I got Mtty running but i cant acces internal storage to copy a rom to it, and flashing by USB went all the way 100% but somehow the phone never boots in to the flashed rom.
Even trying a reflash doesnt show any signs of an older Rom being present on the phone memory..
One question about Mtty, when its said to use the ROM flasher i kinda assumed they ment the CustomRUU program. Am i right, or is there some build-in command to Flash a ROM within MTTY??

I don´t know if you have exactly the same problem, but it looks like that.

Well lets hope not, because i got mine for 50euro secondhanded, warenty is expired and im really not keen on spending more money on repair than what i paid for.

Have you tried to put another Radion on it?

Actually yes i did and it doesnt make any difference.
The weird thing is that even after succesfull flashing both Harspl and Rom never seems to stay on the phone memory but the Radio get updated.

I had a problem with my phone where I did mtty, but forgot to rename the diamimg.nbh file on my phone. So it wouldn't get passed the bootscreen.
My solution was to connect the phone to the usb, hold down the up arrow(I think it was the up arrow) and soft-reset. It came up with those 3/4 color blocks and said "usb" at the bottom. I then used the official htc ruu(also didn't show the current rom on it) to flash the normal htc rom onto it and it worked. Then I just did the normal procedure to get the custom rom on again.
So are you trying to flash the original HTC rom onto it, or a custom rom? Cause if it's a custom ROM, maybe it's just the radio, not the actual OS?

I tried both custom and Stock Roms several times. After flashing the Stock roms i noticed that the radio version get updated, just no OS to boot!
Since the flashing sequence completes to 100%, i think its strange that the os doent seemed to be copied at all. Is there a possibility that a bad SPL is causing the OS not to be found?? In the Bootloader it still says SPL v1.93 Olinex so i guess its still Hard spl'ed. But when i try connect the phone to pc by usb, it shows up as Qualcamm CDMA device then later changes to HTC...
The Phone is not a CDMA version but i think maybe there is a change that somehow a CDMA SPL accidentlly got uploaded to it. This supposed to cause a phone to brick.
Many thanx for trying to help!

Ok, maybe you can try from scratch to re-flash everything?
You should still be able to HardSPL, by doing the soft-reset+vol down thing.
I'd suggest getting the HardSPL from here(I only used it once, but I know it worked for me):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
Hopefully that alone is what you need but if it isn't, you should then be able to flash a radio onto the phone(there's a link in that thread too) and then the stock HTC rom(I think the stock would have a better chance than anything else)
All of those flashes should be possible by doing the soft-reset+vol down and then using the RUU. Do you know how to use the RUU to flash a HardSPL, Radio and then OS separately?
you should probably try a full mtty just before you flash the OS(just after you flash the radio) as well, do the set 14 0,task 28 and task 29 and then task 8
And regrading Windows picking up your phone as a CDMA, I can't remember what mine said, but I don't think you should worry much about what Windows thinks the phone is.
*Edit, you should follow the mtty guide here for the most part:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290
But the second last step(number 7) where you're required to remove the usb cable, soft-reset+vol down+back button to flash from the internal storage, you should keep the phone connected to the usb and soft-reset+vol down and flash the rom using the RUU

Ok i tried its flashing the Stock HTC NLD rom now aroun 42.. 43%, its slow but atleast still going. This is a big Rom tough.
Two questions:
1. Flashing the hardspl took some time to initiate the progression bar and then suddenly in the blink of an eye from 0 to 100%,
after flashing the hardspl file wich showed in RUU as olinex v 1.40, it still showed SPL.193 olinex on the bootloader.. .. is this common??
2. Is it even possible to downgrade a bootloader?? i would love to have olinex 1.40 back.. i used it before and it worked fine on many roms...i keep thinking my SPL is the problem.
Bye now the Rom flashing finished and it didn't help.. its still frozen.
here is the output from MTTY, may be its usefull:

,thanx any way

Did you use the corresponding stockRom (the one with the corresponding spl i mean):
_QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_NLD_1.93.404.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
Just in case you didn't, you can find it over here:

Yes i did try, didnt work for me..
i kinda lose hope now.
Losing a phone sucks, first lost my iphone3g then bought this cheap as a replacement for the remaining contract, And now i really regrets that i tried restoring its stock rom,radio,spl since its really did brick the phone for good..
thanks for all the people that tried to help but i'm not sure if its fixable....
So thanx anyway..
yours,
Jeffrey
