Hi, I have a Tilt, my radio is 1.71.09.01, i have Spl 3.29.Hard, the thing is i cannot get in bootloader mode, and the only thing i get to see is the splash screen where the radio and other stuff is displayed. and nothing else, activesync does not detect the usb connection, and not being able to get into bootloader leaves the gold card method out of the equation, please, help me!!!

I've been trying to find out how to actually load a firmware while my phone is stuck in bootloader (it locked up at 99% while loading a rom) and, while I still haven't solved the mystery of how to actually apply Wizard Love I have now a more pressing dilemma. My battery is dead. I don't have any way of charging the battery other than my USB cable, which doesn't appear to work now. Is there a way to charge the battery so that I can actually flash the phone without it dying?
I know that fixing the phone is possible, but I just haven't figured out how to do it. All the wiki's say is to flash it with Wizard Love, with little instructions as to how to go about it. Every time I try loading anything to it, I get a communication error. In boot loader I can see the USB connection establish on the phone screen, so I know I'm not dead. I'm just confused.
I was able to borrow an AC adapter from a buddy here that has a Hermes, but still am having trouble figuring out how to get the ROM fixed on the phone. I've tried a hard reset, and also I've tried loading wizard love, but receive the error because of no activesync connection to start the process. I've also been fruitless in finding MTTY commands for the Wizard.
All the threads I've looked through on loading from the bootloader are a bit absent of key information. Even this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107
doesn't get into detail about what the steps are to flash in boot loader. It does tell you how to prep (disable activesync, remove the SD card, reconnect to USB) but glosses over the flash method with "Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems." THIS is where I am having the most difficulty. I can't seem to solve the puzzle of how to upgrade straight from the boot loader. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'm just missing a thread, but with so much information it's hard to find exactly what I need.
Boot up the bootloader screen. Connect your PDA to your PC. You should see USB on your PDA. Flash your device.
So I did end up getting my phone working again (yay). I had tried several times the morning I started this thread to run the t-mo 2.26 ROM with ill luck. It seems that it only worked when I took the memory card and the battery was COMPLETELY charged. I was then able to load buttons 1.05, run the unlock and then load a wm6 rom. I chose the Core 2.0 with blackberry support. Other attempts to get BES support on my phone under WM5 have ended poorly, so I am giving this a go.
I have read that many have had problems with MMS support for T-mobile. I too had loads of problems, but I was able to get it working by changing the gateway from 216.155.165.050 to 216.155.165.50. I did not add a seperate GPRS connection. I instead opted to to try to set it connect via WAP Network, and it worked like a champ. Other settings are as follows:
Port Number 8080
Sending size limitations: 300K
WAP version WAP 2.0
I have a G3 wizard. I was stupid and trying to go from button's ROM to Crossbow reloaded. The flash ended up crashing somewhere in the 80% range. Now my wizard will rarely get into bootloader mode. I'm leaving the battery out for 5 minutes at a time. When I put it back in it will go into bootloader mode until I plug the USB cable in it and try to flash it the screen comes goes grey and I get a 260 update error..
I really hope I didn't brick this thing, It's my only connection and I have some important new job related calls to make!

Try holding the camera button while powering it on. Then put in the usb cable and flash away.

Do a Soft reset of the phone,if it works out,fine,otherwise do the Hard reset,although you might lose your personal data but phone will work out.
If both do nothing and it still gets stuck,then there's no other way except to reflash.
Which connectivity your not getting,If you are saying about Activesync connectivity,then you don't need Activesync connectivity to flash,get your phone into Bootloaders(multicolor screen) connect it to your pc via usb cable,when usb appears at the bottom of the bootloadermode,flash the Rom.
But if you cannot establish connectivity through usb cable,then either your usb cable is faulty or the mini usb port of the phone is damaged.
Looks like i've been threadjacked...can anyone help?
Ok, I posted a thread on the main wizard forum and I'm trying again here since this is a little more on topic in this forum.
Here goes with all the technical specifics I can add in.
I recently got an HTC 8125 (I've had one before and never had this problem)
I immediately CID and SIM unlocked the phone using lokiwiz's unlocking program.
I inserted my tmobile sim into the cingular 8125 and all was great.
I upgraded the ROM to the TNT 19199 batch of WM6.1 Everything is still great.
The phone worked awesome, the next day I downloaded the T-Mobile UK radio version 2.19.11.
I flashed it to the phone and everything seemed fine, the program finished and the phone restarted.
Upon restart I was greeted with a no service message and the phone behaves as though it is shutoff. No big deal, right? WRONG...
I went to the tmobile and cingular site and got the default roms from each just in case.
I then connected the phone to the usb and activesync would not recognize the phone, or do anything for that matter.
I used an external USB bluetooth dongle to try and connect the phone to the PC to flash the default rom and fix the radio problem, this wouldn't work either.
I then put the phone into bootloader mode, this works ok, I see the USB in the corner and figure I'm saved. Nope.
I ALWAYS get an Error Connecting from the rom software. Even though my PC recognizes the phone, active sync does not. I re-installed Activesync and rebooted my computer numerous times. To no avail.
The ONLY rom software I which has worked is the TNT 19199 but it doesn't fix the lack of radio.
Here are some other points of interest. On phone bootup I get this:
IPL 1.08
SPL 1.08
<----Notice, NOTHING in the GSM spot.
OS 1.11.1.0.1 (or whatever the numbers are for that particular rom)
The USB will recognize the phone ONLY in bootloader mode, otherwise when the phone is on the Today screen I get no recognition.
The TNT rom has worked twice when I tried it, (by worked I mean it allowed me to re-flash the same rom) Of course the TNT rom doesn't work all the time, it has given me several connection errors.
No other rom has worked as of yet, all others give me a connection error.
The battery meter will not display, nor will it tell me what type of battery or how much charge is left.
The phone will sometimes go to amber light when plugged into the wall charger but NEVER with the usb to PC cable.
I can still navigate around the windows mobile 6.1 interface though it moves incredibly SLOW. i.e. I pushed the comm manager button to make sure the phone didn't simply get shutoff and I waited about a minute and a half or longer for it to bring up the comm manager.
I need some severely good advice and some new tricks to try, I'm running out of ideas, I saw several threads under the HTC TyTn threads about similar problems and something about the IPL/SPL being important but I'm not sure what they're talking about. I have searched this forum and I have found people talking about similar problems, all the responses point to, "If you can get to the bootloader you're fine." This is incorrect.
So seriously, help me out here.
HOW DO I FIX MY STINKIN' PHONE.
I would suggest rolling back to your working configuraton by reflashing using a memory card instead of the USB.
fixed.
Actually I finally figured it out.
It seemed the reason that those roms worked sometimes but not others was this: To get the phone to recognize you had to do things in a VERY specific sequence.
You had to let the phone boot all the way into WM6 and then plug in the usb cable. Then put it into bootloader with the camera / soft reset button method. Then you waited for the nice USB connect sound, and began the ROM flash RUU program. (In this case it was the T-Mobile default rom).
Once that was done the phone acts as normal and everything is good.
Doing anything out of order or putting the phone into bootloader without it having first booted all the way to the OS would give you the connect error.
Please clarify if you're running WM6 with IPL/SPL 1.xx? I believe that's not possible to get good results that way.
IPL 1.08
SPL 1.08
<----Notice, NOTHING in the GSM spot.
OS 1.11.1.0.1 (or whatever the numbers are for that particular rom)
TNT 19199 batch of WM6.1
Wm6.1 on ipl/spl 1.xx,strange ,how do you explain this,how did you manage to get wm6 installed with ipl/spl 1.xx,cuz it only works on ipl/spl 2.xx and higher. Are you sure its TNT 19199 series wm6.1 Rom ?
Hey everyone I have just CID-Unlocked my phone with HardSPL 3.56.
I am about to flash Laurentius26 KDV10 but I don't know what mode my phone has to be in when I run KaiserCustomRUU.exe.
I know my phone must be connected, should the sync icon be green?
Should the Allow USB Connections box be ticked in the ActiveSync Options?
Should I be in bootloader?
Should I just be in the normal windows 6.1 today screen when I run KaiserCustomRUU.exe (The screen says the sim card is missing etc etc with a numpad)?
aaaand finally last one, should I hard-reset the phone before running KaiserCustomRUU.exe?
thanks a lot
Ok. Here's your freebie. But Check out the Top links in my Signature, Very Useful.
ActiveSync Must Be Green.
HardSPL MUST be installed.
Yes you want USB connections.
Bootloader, Doesn't matter.
Normal Today Screen, That's how I do it, but you CAN be in bootloader, but Most people start on the Normal Today Screen.
Is your SIM in?
Lastly, No, Don't Hard Reset until AFTER you Flash and are at the "tap here to set up your device" screen
Hey folks,
I've tried several things after reading several threads, and have managed to not brick my phone so far, but not unlock it either. I'm aiming to only do the second without doing the first...
As I'm using Vista, I'm having no success using HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1 through the Windows Mobile Device Manager. Am I going to be able to do this using my mini-SD card?
I've tried to think it through, but would favour someone else's opinion before I do it.
If I was to put SSPL-Trin.exe into my Trinity memory, then rename TRINunlockv1.nbh to TRINimg.nhb and put that on my mini SD-card, and add Trin_Unlock_v1 to the card, ran SSPL_Trin.exe then put the memory card into the slot, would that solve anything? Or are there better ways to do it?
Any advice gratefully received.
I'm really struggling here guys... Whenever I manage to get any form of SPL open, with the fancy triband of red, green, blue (and a white band underneath), it doesn't allow me to do anything. It just sits there reading "TRIN100 IPL-0.50" or "TRIN100 IPL-SSPL by Des" (depending on how I get there) in the top of the red band, and underneath that it says "TRIN100 SPL-1.07.0000". At the bottom of the screen, in the white band, it reads either "USB" or "Serial" depending on whether the USB is plugged in or not.
I had the RUU in the root directory of my mini-SD card, and nothing happened. When I tried running it remotely from my PC, the same thing happened, but as it went into the SPL screen, Vista stopped detecting my trinity as a device.
Any hints or clues how to get further into the SPL. Is there something I need to do when I get to the triband screen? AARRGGHH!!
Mine's an Orange SPV m700, to which I've done nothing before now. (So Operator version 19.123.1.615, ROM verstion 1.23.61.5, ROM date 01/25/07, Radio version 1.30.00.01 and Protocol version 32.63.7020.08H)

Could you please tell me what kind of sd do you have? is it a micro sd plugged to a mini sd adapter, and what capacity?
I won't ask you if you formatted the card as FAT32 and with no label.
Please try to install Olios's hardspl_120 :
first boot om WM5, copy SSPL-TRIN.exe and the hard-spl nbh that is renamed to trinimg.nbh, and run SSPL-TRIN.exe, that will get you in the famous tricoloured screen and you will see a white screen with procesing and then with checking and after this it will prompt you to push the power button to start upgrade.
good luck!
Mini-SD is an Integral 2GB card, actual Mini-SD, not a conversion... Just triple checked, and it is Fat32 and unlabled (which I thought is what I had, so I'm not going mad). I've tried flashing using Vista Sync Centre without the mini-SD in place, but that hasn't helped either.
Olipros Hard-SPL is the one I've been trying to install, but when I get to the triband screen, it flashes very quickly to a white screen (for about a tenth of a second) and then just stays on the triband screen... It doesn't give me an option to hit the power button to start an install.
I'm going to try to download another version of TRIN-SPL or something similar, as I can't get in to the bootloader screen to do anything.

Actually for flashing you will need a card in the pda. One more thing, after you try to flash from your SD card, and you end up in the tri-band screen, could you check if have a temporary folder on the card, i can't remember the name, and for me that was i confirmation that the trin actually tried to read the cad.
I had a 8g card, that was not recognized, and i tried with the original 512m card.
So please do not despair, at the end you will managed to do it.
Interesting - it's still not going from the triband screen into the processing screen, and it doesn't seem to be accessing the card when it enters SSPL-TRIN. Guess it's a case of either getting a new mini-SD card (probably a sandisk one), or going the IMEI route to unlocking. Don't really want to go that way, but it should just work. I'm pretty sure that was the card I got with the phone, and as it was 2GB I didn't bother getting another at the time...
Is there anything wrong with using IMEI unlock, other than it being lazy and not allowing me to have as much fun updating my phone? Thanks for all the advice so far.
Just a thought - is there some way I can change the boot order of the Trin? Just thinking Windows and the way you can change the boot order from hard drive to CD or DVD etc...
