flashing question! - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

hey,
i know this might sound like a stupid question but i am confused...
i tried flashing hardSPL but it wouldn't.
So it just keeps at 0% for more then half an hour. then i just disconnected it.
I have the RHOD300 version and used the GSM version.
What do i do wrong?
i do not need to SIM-unlock before right?
and the CID-unlock is the same as the hardSPL i thought? so why can't i flash?
thanks nick!

Correct, you don't need to SIM-unlock first. Check the troubleshooting section near the start of the sticky HardSPL thread, there are lots of suggestions of things to try there.

np progress
hey
firstly thanks for yozr fast response.
i read the troubleshooting section and everything but i could not find a solution to my problem
i am able to connect the phone and put it in bootloader and then flash it.
everything works as it did on my kaiser when i used to flash it...
so i get the grey screen with the progress bar on top but there is no progress! ive been waiting for half an hour but still no progress.
so i dont know how to go on now...cuz i need hardSPL for flashing all other roms
could someone help me here?
and is there a way to flash it via sd card?
couldnt find the nbh
thanks nick!

You can't flash HardSPL via your SD card, no, sorry. You really need to post up on this in the HardSPL thread though, rather than having a separate thread here.

** PLEASE HELP ASAP!! ** Flash Gone WRONG!

I did the hardspl. Then flashed the radio. After the radio flash, it still brings up the AT&T splash screen, but NO sounds. After that loads up...then I get a all fuzzy screen - NO PICS - bunch of different colors. PLEASE HELP ME. What do I need to do??
flash a radio that's compatible with ur rom
How?? And which one? Im using the stock AT&T OEM ROM. I cant get it to connect to activesync or anything. I get as far as that fuzzy screen I was telling everyone about.
why did you flash just the radio. There is a wiki or something around here that tells you what radios go with what rom.
I thought I was supposed to flash the Radio ROM first...then flash the new ROM. I can get it unto bootloader by using the camera key and the reset hole. Gives me the 3 color screen...I just dont know what to do from this point. I'd rather just go back to the stock ROM and be done.

to be honest, all you have to do is use search and some of the words in your question..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375
also some people have the radios they use in their signatures. Just look around.
Ok. So I'm downloading the 1.27.12.11 Radio ROM right now.
i'll have to go get a micro SD.
How do I run it from the micro SD in bootloader mode with the 3 color's on the screen? It says serial on the bottom.
I REALLY appreciate your help. I have been reading a lot...its just really confusing to me.
Thank you again for all your [email protected]!
I already posted how to do it with the SD card.
I just re-read it again. Thank you! Now...I'll have to do 2 seperate flashes right? 1 for the Radio and the other for the ROM?
yup, hopefully everything goes smoothly. Don't be afraid to try some of the other radios.
Im afraid to try anything now..haha. i just want it fixed then I'm leaving it alone. Obviously...I'm WM-Retarededed
Neh, you just had a bad first time. It gets better with practise. READ READ READ.

totally confused....about JUMP-SPL and HARD-SPL

I have watch videos...read instruction etc, etc, all I could on ATT Tilt/Kaiser flashing...I still don't have a clue. Do I do some type of CID unlock 1st....then is there a Jump SPL and than a Hard SPL. Is any of them two done from the boot loader screen. I can fix most electronics but I don't understand.. no you-tube video...i saw it on flashing the kaiser....sound quality bad for the hard of hearing (me).

Download Jump SPL and Run it. Then the hard-spl. This will then allow you to flash the custom ROMs on your Kaiser.
Regards,
Carty..
I just went through this a few days ago trying to flash my first custom rom. I have to agree it is incredibly confusing and contradicting, which is why I'm taking the time to post this. Just read as much as you can about it and don't try to flash the rom until you understand. I am no expert on this by any means, but this is what i did on my tilt to flash HardSPL. I tried to make this as simple as possible just so you see the exact steps I went through, but i highly recommend reading the thread linked in the previous post by Carty above and the other link I'm posting at the very end.
1. download JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061.
2. get the hardSPL version you need for your rom. I used v3.56 from the link Carty gave you in the post above, because the rom I am using was based on the official att 6.1 rom. You may need a different one for the rom you want to flash I don't know too much about this yet. Leave the folder where you unzipped the hardspl files open on your desktop so you wont have to look for it later.
3. connect your phone to the PC, and transfer JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe over to your phone with activesync. Remove your microsd card if you have one on your phone (very important).
4.run JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe on your phone, it should go to a bootloader mode with the tricolor screen and underneath it will say USB.
5.Unplug the phone from the PC, wait about 5-10 seconds and plug it back in. Activesync should NOT be able to recognize your phone. If it does, something went wrong so start over.
6. Finally you can run the KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the hardSPL folder on your pc desktop and follow the instructions. It will load the HardSPL on your phone.
7. if you want to make sure it loaded, shut down your device and when your are turning it on press both the power and camera button at the same time, it will go into bootloader mode and show you what SPL is on your device. mine says SPL-3.56.Hard after I loaded the hardspl. You are now ready to flash a new rom.
This wiki helped me the most:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Read as much of it as you can, especially the "SPL questions?" link, that was the most useful for me.
I hope this helps
All good advice! I just loaded the HardSPL on my phone for the first time and it worked perfectly.
Now all i need is a work connection that doesnt block my attempts to download ROM's!!!!!!

Unfortunately this is the Kaiser forum and you will get even less help here.
Post your questions in the Diamond forum and people will help,when and if they are able. And in the meantime, read and search and try to figure it out for yourself, All the steps and instructions are there.
Sometimes people, unfortunately, mistake this site for the HTC free support line, with 12 techs waiting at their PC's to help. Then they get irritated that no one answers their requests for help on a timely basis . If people won't or can't answer your questions then you need to figure it out on your own.
The bottom line is, if you don't know what you are doing, then you shouldn't be messing around with your phone. Sorry

And what I said was that this was the Kaiser forums and not the Diamond forums. Putting Kaiser Spl's on a Diamond will brick your phone faster than throwing it into a bucket of water. So I gave him a link to the Diamond forum and Diamond Security/CID/Sim unlocker.
How is your question related to the Kaiser forums ?
Will it work on my TP/Excalibur? No as phones have different hardware to which is why h-spl's are device specific.
The best way to help yourself and not get a brick "expensive paperweight" is to head to device subforum and do some reading, as last thing you want is to be creating a thread named "Help"

Since I cannot find anything helpful in Diamond forum, I dig around in other forums to try to rescue my phone and make it usable.
Which is a recipe for diasaster...seriously, if you are gonna do something as stupid as to try to make something SPECIFICALLY for another device work on yours, then you do not deserve to own a Diamond.

Please help

I really am going crazy with this rom flashing stuff. I have read the wiki for 2 days.
I understand I need to CID unlock my phone before I can apply cooked roms. But after countless searches I cant find clear info on how to CID unlock my phone.
This really is a last resort, I have been rading for 2 days with no certainty of what to do next.
Thanks

USPL and HSPL do this for you so you are able to flash a rom or radio. Read this page from wiki. It'll help you understand
Follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide on how to flash (can be found in my signature). If you intend to do a lot of flashing I'd flash HSPL as its permanent whilst USPL is temporary and you'd need to re-use it before every flash to new rom or radio
Latest HSPL can also be found in my signature
Ah excellent thank you so much.
So can I flash straight to the newest 1.56 rom from my current version which is 1.19.61.1WWE on orange?
Or is there a stage in between I would have to do.
Thanks again.

Flashing from one HTC stock rom to another you don't need to use USPL or HSPL. But going to a cooked rom you do.
Answer to your query is it depends on route you take. If you go down the USPL route you'll need to follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Would take to long to explain and he as already done a very good tutorial on the subject. If you go down HSPL route, all you need to do is flash latest HSPL then 1.56 rom
That clears everything up. one last thing, which rom would you reccomend? I like the look of the enwer roms with WM6.
Thanks again much appreciated.

I'm currently testing Dutty's V3.4. His V3.3 is already released but I'd wait for the new release hopefully in a few days. Both are based on WM6.1. Alternatively their is so many good roms out there. I'd also recommend Davideuck, EnergyROM & L26_THDV2.2 (Laurentius26). All very good roms by very good cooks. Best thing would be to try each of them and make your own opinion
thanks again mate, you are a legend, Ill post tonight to let you know how it went.

There are a few forms of unlocking but the bottom line is that you need to bypass the checking which is done in the flash process.
One way is permanat as done once no issues anymore - HSPL
Another is as and when you need - USPL.
Wiki has a walk through that needs to be upated but I thought still was useable.
Flash the new 1.56 shipped rom and then move on to cooked roms. (will help you by pass the greenscreen issue)

Sorry to hijack your thread futurama but I am having the same problem. Could you let me know how you did it
Thanks HDuser. Not sure if you know where I`m up to but originally I flashed my Orange 1.19.61.1 ROM with USPL and then flashed Duttys 2.7 1.56 based ROM which has given me the green screen problem. An earlier poster suggested I flash Olinex HSPL 1.54 to cure the problem. The problem I am having now is the phone refuses to sync with the PC. I have tried Vista and XP, the PC does not hibernate or sleep or anything, the phone is set to not switch off. It will usually sync on first connection but after a few seconds it will disconnect and therefore HSPL is reporting as being disconnected.
I have tried the earlier HSPL and HSPL 1.56 (as the ROM in bootloader screen is reported as being 1.56 and SPL is 1.14). I feel I`m going round in circles and its only a matter of time before I brick the phone.
I have read and re-read the wikis but I am now just getting more and more confused.
davemazo
Look the best way to approach any problem is to go back to the roots.
Flash a stock rom, find your own stock rom and refalsh it, then take it from there.
Your post is missleading and I have no idea were to sart. One issue is your PC ist does not Hibanate, not or go into sleep mode, at the saem time you are saying that you can't sync. Sounds like you have other problems and those other problems are making you have problems with your device.
Thanks HDuser. Sorry for confusing you, but I am now totally confused myself, Basically though the phone does not sync with the PC, I have tried 2 PC`s, with Vista and XP.
But back to your point about flashing stock ROM, I have tried a link in the wiki to download the one I need which is Orange 1.19.61.1 but the link seems to be broken and I don`t know where else I can get it. It doesn`t seem to be on the Orange website or HTC.

There is a part on the black stone wiki that mentions I need to CID unlock my phone. It says you need to do this before you can flash roms, I felt it wasn't clear that, all I needed to do was flash HSPL in order to allow me to put new roms on.
This is what I did.
1:Flashed HSPL olinex 1.14.
2:Flashed HSPL Olinex1.56
3:Flashed MIRI WM6.5 10.0WWE
only part I had trouble with, my phone wouldnt let me flash the HSPL at first, I had to use a manual thing that you launch on the device the it lets you flash the HSPL.

It sounds as if you have it sorted now and everything working. As HDUser stated previously HSPL & USPL allows you to bypass the CID lock to enable you to flash new roms
Only thing I need clearing up, I can change my SPL back to the original version cant it?
Just incase anything goes tits up and I need to send it back

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.

WC

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...

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.

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.

It's not working. :'[

Hi ladies and gentlemen!
I have tried and tried and tried to flash mi tilt, and no luck. I've followed the intructions(let me guess well if you followed the instructions then you shouldn't be having a problem? save it.) It's not working! :[[[[[[[[ It keeps giving me the error 262 update error. I did what the solution said to do which was to soft reset and enter bootloader, and i did that but still no luck. I 'flashed' wm6.1 i think well installed it from htc's website and it worked and stuff, but i hate it! It is so laggy when i text and it keeps going into sleep mode after 10 seconds or the backlight goes dim after 10 seconds i've tried fixing it with what htc says to do but it still does it after 10 seconds. AND kaisertweak wont work it says the file is corrupt; i've tried re-installing it so many times i threw my phone!!!! ;[ It still works but it has a dent on the side. It doesn't bug me Anyway, someone has to have a solution for all this! PLEASE!!! AND THANK YOU in advance. I also followed the instructions on 'flashing for newbs' and still no luck. If you need info on my phone here it is: WM6.1, (when entering bootloader with the power+camera+SR) 3.56, THE PHONE IS UNLOCKED(as in i can use t-mobile, verizon, etc.), and that's all i can remember lol. Oh yeah one more thing, i can't seem to get rid of the 'bloatware' :'[ I've tried many so-called 'solutions. :'[ no luck. HELP!
This is the second " help me with my phone " thread you have started in the rom development section. You are not developing a rom or aiding a chef in developing a rom. So stop starting new threads here. Your last one was locked, and so will this one. This is not the I'm a noob , help me section. If you are having a problem post it in the flashing for noobs thread. There is no problem that you are having hat hasn't already been addressed in that thread.
Have you flashed hardspl yet ? Which one 3.34, 3.56. 3.29. 3.29 cmonex ? Have you tried flashing from an SD card ? 262 is a usb error. Have you tried reloading activsync ? Have you Disabled anti virus and firewalls. Saying I've tried everything tells people nothing.

Mod Edit: Edited swear as no need for that and against forum rules
Moved as not ROM Development and in previous you was given some ideas, have you tried another computer? Tried hard-resetting phone? Tried another stock from provider or even better:
Posted in here:
Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
Maybe a better place to get help
Please post in correct sections no matter how you think you may get more responses.
Have you tried indenting paragraphs or cutting up your post so that it can be read?
Is it just me, I can't read that stuff?
So, if his phone is unlocked, is it possilbe his phone is already set to flash? I guess it depeneds on how it's unlocked.

You figured wrong, twice apparently, so Mr. Denco was showing you your failures in figuring. You got the "attitude" for posting in the wrong section TWICE.. When a mod closes or moves the thread, they explain why..
