Important! My rhodium crashed during flashing - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

I synchronize my phone using ActiveSync. After flashing wizzard my rhodium wanted a driver. I didnt find it and now I'm standing in the tricolor.
Somebody help me please what to do !!!!! :-(

In the tricolour screen (the bootloader), does it say "USB" at the bottom ? If so, you should still be able to flash it ok. Though if there is a missing driver on your PC, it might just come up with an error and not be able to flash it. You could still try flashing from SD card in that case.

I did a soft reset and my old ROM was boot. Driver is missing. I have to install it. Thx

if you want to obtain the missing driver, you shouldve left the phone on the tri colour screen, and now this is my question, what OS are running? Win7 or XP? if youre on Win7 its going to search for the drivers on the internet and it should take 5 mins, as stated above if the drivers are installed it should say USB on the bottom and should be ready to be flashed, this happens to me once in a while when i flash a ROM, i just leave it on that screen and let the computer do the work and sometimes the RUU which is the program u use to flash a ROM will have an error, thats fine, just re run the RUU and should be fine from there

My OS is win XP, but this computer is adjusted using XP lite. One of important component is removed (maybe drivers support... idk). I did not know that I have these problems during the flashing on this computer.

If you have the ActiveSync drivers it should be automatic. If you were able to Sync with ActiveSync, you can flash. Just let it install the drivers by itself or download ActiveSync again and install and try again.

or flash from memory card.... no need for drivers.

Copy RHODIMG.NBH (you can take from any Rom, sometimes it has another name, rename it rhodimg.nbh) to your SD card using a card reader form your computer
Put it in your phone than start. It will ask you to push start button to begin flashing.
After flash restart phone with red button under battery cover

Have you tried doing a Windows update while the phone is hooked up to your computer? Your computer probably just doesn't recognize the phone. I had that problem when I did my first flash. Windows update just found the drivers and installed them and I was good to go.

I think what he was trying to say is that he used N-Lite to strip down his XP install and removed some critical driver or possibly PNP pieces..

I understood that but if ActiveSync works, then flashing should work as they are the same driver. Probably needs even less components than ActiveSync.

RNDIS BLUE ANGEL driver?

bit of a problem here... my pc crashed and i'm forced to use a new one... after connecting my BA using the cradle, my pc recognized the new hardware but was not able to install the driver for RNDIS BA... tried using the companion cd but the driver is not included there... already googled for it on windows.com and any other site i can think of but still cant locate it. d/led from ms.com the RNDIS USB kit 2005 but have no idea how to use it, the driver is not also in there. btw, the pc i'm using is not yet on SP2 so AS 3.2 is installed here.
so i used a laptop, upgraded to [email protected] and was able to install AS 4.2. connected my BA there and still cannot install the RNDIS for BA on laptop also... how come? do i have to downgrade first to 2003 so that it can be installed then upgrade back to wm5? hope someone can help me, or at least point me in the correct direction. thanks
The RNDIS driver actually is in the BA itself. Connect ur device with PC. Wait 4 a pop-up from bottom right " Your new hardware installed and ready to use". Then it will connect to ur active sync... You Hav to wait for few sec(depends on your pc performance) for it to install the driver.
If it won't work try uninstall the old driver then reconect

actually the pop up window will say there is a problem with your hardware and it is not installed and your new hardware will not work properly... not sure why, i didn't change anything in my BA...
I guess you installed ActiveSync 4.x.
Try this: open the devicemanager and selected the device not installed. right click and select update driver, now guide windows to look in C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\drivers and it should detect the driver.

thanks meehaa, i downloaded that file but when i try to redirect the wizard to where the .sys file is, it won't recognize the file...
also tried to direct the wizard on all folders inside c:\windows hoping to get lucky but still no dice...
is it the device itself that has the problem? i can easily downgrade to 2003se and upgrade but since i'm not sure it will work, i'll just screw myself
I had the same problem
after rcoganizing it doesnt istall the driver
so install RNDIS
and after that you need to install this one too

If you want help, it's better to actually include vital data: G3 or G4? CID & SIM unlocked, or not?
What ver. of ActiveSync do you have? Win XP or Vista? What have you read so far?
Goodluck
change another ROMUpdateUtility software
Sorry,
G3 device, cid & sim UNLOCKED.
Windows XP home editon.
I flash from bootloader..
Byebye
thanks so far!
I bet it's the Operating System. My desktop has WinXP PRO SP2 and everytime i try to flash a ROM it simply hangs. I must reboot the hard way (using reset button) as not even CTRL+ALT+DEL work. I know it must be something wrong with the USB configuration as every time i need to print something the USB pen drive opens LOL
I'm forced to flash with my old laptop that runs Win2K

Yup ! it works with WinXP Sp2 perfectly,But with winXp Home Edition,well I'am not sure,this might be the cause also, as I have never worked with WinXP Home edition.
I'll suggest u try on WinXp Pro SP2 to be sure .
cheers
Its fixed now =)...
I just installed WIndows Installer 3, and Activsync 4.5.
Now it works fine..
Thanks you all .

Cannot flash Blackstone

Hello,
Yesterday I tried to flash my phone. First I read al the info here and also watched some videos at youtube. I have a iMac and use parallels to run Windows XP. I can sync without any problems through Activesync. The usb is plugged in at the back of the iMac.
So I started the hsplwrapper from olinex. Everything went okay until I got the tricolour screen including text 'usb'. Then the usb connection stopped and the phone could not be flashed.
Checked the issues on the forum.
I tried different usb ports a sspl-manual with no results. Also restarting pc, hard reset on phone also nothing.
Maybe it is not possible because I use windows through parallels? Or do I have to use a cradle instead of a plain usb cable?
Does someone have a clue?
Unplug the USB cable after running uSPL or HardSPL, then plug it back and wait till USB comes on the screen again.
Maybe search for the proper HTC drivers for Windows XP.
Reply
Thank you I will try this.
blackstone ruu is known to stop functioning using xp running on parallels..
ull need a pc to update to hspl and then u can use the sdcard to flash in future..
try instead of parallels using boot camp with the updated drivers, maybe this can help..
Is there also an other alternative virtual maschine for Imac that is more stable for performing this task?
If possible I do not want to use bootcamp.

well parallels and vmware actually limit the xp capabilities..
for full functioning there is only boot camp yet..
Okay then I will give bootcamp a try
Thanks for the tip!

Luckely I still have some older desktop windows pc and tried there to flash it and it works without any errors ... so thank you all for the help and I am looking forward to all new roms!
are you unlocking your phone, or trying to flash a rom? if its a rom , just name it BLACIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of your SD card. then reboot your phone while holding down the "volume down" button.
Well I flashed a rom and now I'm enjoying the new 6.5 wm and it works fine.

Cant Flash / Hard SPL via USB....any ideas?

Some some strange reason if I try and hard spl / flash via usb method Windowds Mobile Device centre drops out half way through the process (when phone goes into boot screen) and the install fails because the phone is no longer sync'd with the PC....
I have never had this issue before....which is why it is puzzling me..
I get an error message on the PC saying: "Error [206]: Connection"
PC is running Win 7, 64bit if that makes any difference...
p.s do I need to hard spl each time I install a rom? I kind of do it now out of habbit......

Windows 7 x64 is the problem, you need hacked drivers.
update the drivers of your phone with the ones attached here.
You don't have to do HardSPL every time, only one time is enough.

Since when do you need a hacked driver to flash Xperia X1 using Windows 7 64 bit?
I've been flashing using my PC which is on Windows 7 64 bit, never have I used hacked drivers.

Thanks for the reply.
I have unzipped the folder, but am unsure what I have to do with the files....
Sorry for being such a n00b....
I have a Windows 7 x64 PC and got no problem flashing different ROM's on this thread. As what the others have said, you only need to HardSPL your phone once and then you can flash any ROM you want. You don't need any drivers as I have not installed any on my PC. Maybe your phone's battery is below50% during the time of flashing? If that's a no go for you, why don't you try flashing using the SD Card method?

guys i need help with hard spl :(

ok,i tried the sd-method.still nothing.it says no image file.i tried the pc method,it gives me a error message.i think pc method doesnt work because i dont have NET-framework.and i download the F****** net framework and i want to install it and it says error!im pissed right now!the phone is driving me crazy!so help me before i smash it and throw it in the wall

try to make manual synch then install netframework, for me SD method never worked, i always flash with pc method,
and last thing: I actually use Dynamics rom, is the best I tried with NRG and x826
also try deleting net framework from pc than relaunch for making it install on pc and on phone together (that worked for me)
i don't think flashing hardspl over stockspl via sdcard works. hardspl 0.72 used a special exe, not suitable for everything else.
flashing hardspl 0.78 over hardspl 0.72 via sd works fine. and no, stockspl 0.78 doesn't make it any harder, i got it back from service 2 times with it.
but i already told you, you need a fully working connection with activesync first for usb-flash to work. (device center from Vista onwards), you might need to search for usb-drivers for x1 first (which also allow the pc recognize the phone if you attach it in bootloader-mode).
iirc, after starting flash-process with winmo running, there was a popup on stockrom if you really want to let some exe reboot the phone (to enter bootloader).
yes you need to fully synchronize with a server or pc
server doesn't have to do anything with it.
and no, he doesn't need to do a full sync with pc. but he needs to be able to do that.
