whats up guys?
I seem to be having a problem updating my rom
I have tried numerous ROMs from the site, but for some reason it always gives me a error when I attempt to download it.
Has anyone heard of this problem or can hand me any advice?
Thanks A lot
-Chris
What's up 2 u.
Have you read the Wiki or any of the stickies? If not, before you go any further, and make a paperweight of you device, you may want to read a little. You can't just slap a new ROM on there. You first need to prepare the phone. Lucky for you your device failed instead of breaking. Seems the phone is smarter than the owner.
"...the phone is smarter than the owner"
there is no need to be condescending, a simple answer leading me to the right direction would have sufficed.
I would thank you for your help, but I cant thank a person with a attitude as demeaning as yours....now my advice to you would be to grow up.
ciao

i got the same replies for some of the "senior members" on here, it's normal.
You say, you get an error while "downloading?!". do you mean, downloading the roms from the mirrors or an error while flashing the rom. If it's during the update, what error exactly?
I flashed my phone the first time last tuesday (NoThrill Rom, Hardspl, new radio) with the help of the wiki. To save you the work searching the wiki pages
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserROM_FlashingFAQ
1.) How to backup your old Rom for warranty return http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1586817
or download the right rom here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
2.)Read through the HardSPL threads (if you don't understand it, read several times) http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions? and choose the right HardSPL version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
(Searching for JumpSPL?? it's in the attachment of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061 )
3.) Read through the rom flashing process http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserIntroductionToROM_Flashing
4.) choose a rom here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Cooked_ROMs or from the rom developement board in the forum and flash it
5.) Check if you need a new radio (read through the thread for your rom) if you experience any problems
This is how i've done it. Took me about 5 or 6 hours for everything. If you have any problems with the flashing, all problems are known and there are threads about it
Good Luck with your phone.
Hey, thanks a lot.
Its a communication error during the update.
You have been really helpful with those links, I appreciate the time you took to reply.
have a good day.

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!!!!!!

Sadly blogspot gets locked as well.......i've managed to download some stuff of here but in general sites it classes as 'personal storage' it gets a bit upset about...
if anyone knows any other way round i'd be eternally grateful!

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.
Hi,
I'm new to forums so apologies if I sound inexperienced!! I've got an HTC touch HD that I got from the carphone warehouse in the UK (connected to o2). It's currently got windows 6.1 but I'm wondering if it's possible to install 6.5 on it. HTC are telling me no but I've heard others have done it.
If it's possible can someone direct me to the download file and explain what I need to do to complete the install?
Many thanks
JW83
Install HSPL (up) and instal rom. There are many here. Sorry for my English I do not know good English. It is not difficult when I was able too.
It is possible, read the sticky threads, they will point you in the right direction.
But be aware you lose your warranty with WM6.5 on there. Just make sure you read up and understand before taking the plunge And welcome to the forum.

The warranty-thing is not really true: if you don't read the steps etc, and your phone gets bricked (just software), HTC will not replace it for you.
This is where you need to start. Read this Guide carefully and then read it again for good measure. If you have any further specific questions then ask them in that thread and you'll get helped.

Post your problems in the Dummies Guide thread please. You'll get help there as this one will probably be closed soon. Please also give more details of the errors, ie what error code you get and whether you have used uspl or hspl.
As above, please post in relevant thread and myself or someone else will assist you. ClydeB1 has already provided link to thread.

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.

I FIGURED SINCE THIS IS BEING POSTED IN THE "ROM" SECTION I WOULD GET HELP!!!! OKAY!!!! JEEEZ-IZ!!!!!!!!!! Yes, i've tried and it doesn't work. i have no anti-virus things on this pc. i've tried sd card too. 3.56 idk. If i'm going to get attitude for posting in the wrong section then no thanks i don't need this XXXX from you or anyone else. XXXX
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..
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.
