Hey Chaps,
Just thought earlier today i'd have a go at upgrading my phone with the new HTC firmware for my Vodafone Kaiser. First i tried it on it's own only to find the 'vendor' had blocked the upgrade, then i ran the HARDSPL software, when it rebooted my phone to the tri-colour screen i stopped pressing enter on the batch file and ran the HTC upgrade again! ... success - sort of; the upgrade got to 15% and stopped with a connection error (my usb's dodgy i think), then when the phone rebooted to the tri-colour boot loader it'd a) no longer accept the HTC Rom (vendor thing again) and b) become irritatingly broken.
Is it possible to flash an older vodafone rom to the device? if so, where can i find such a beast. Or does anyone know of any devilish ways to put the new rom on using the bog standard bootloader?
Thanks in advance big time to any clever phone experts who can de-brick my... er... brick
Dan.
your supposed to install hardspl before upgrading it if you try it on its own it will brick it at least thats what i heard from the stickies
azazelx, he has hardSPL installed, anyway.
@JimmyJangle: flash via microSD card. [url="http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash" URL]Read here.[/url]
You need winrar to extract file nbh from the shipped ROM.exe.
Hmm, i don't think i do have HardSPL actually installed,
When i saw the tricolour screen come up with different version information I stopped that batch file that was installing HARDSPL (impatiently) and started the HTC one (which failed at 15%). So now i (think) i have a phone with no firmware and the bootloader says:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD=8
I reckon if i can find a vodafone made rom the bootloader'll let me install it.
Any idea where i could find one?
What is ur orginal shipped ROM?
Your solution now is flash back the orginal ROM by using microSD card method I mentioned above, install HardSPL succesfully, then flash whatever ROM you prefer.
Hey Nghiem,
Thanks for the help, that link doesn't go anywhere though.
Also, wouldn't i need the original rom from somewhere in order to do that?
Thanks,
Dan
where did you buy the phone e.g vodafone, orange, etc...so I can tell you the original ROM? Because you phone CID is not unlock, hence you must flash the back the shippied one.
Get the WM 6.1 Vodaphone official here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058
Hi,
I got the phone from Vodafone in the UK.
It had WM5 on it... erm, that's it.
I've just beem trying to load original voda roms back on to it but it's not happy - i don't know if they really are the originals though, one says 'reconstructed'.
Dan
Actually, that was the rom i tried and it came up with the Vendor ID error.
Dan.
Link on post #6 is the official not reconstructed. How about download directly from Vodafone website? It's strange when you have carrier ID block even with its ROM. Also, try reconstructed ROM listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
Search for mtty, see if it can help you out.
MTTY saved the day!
Only 3 hours of my life lost!
Thanks,
Dan
Cheers. Don't forget to flash HardSPL and read the wiki before doing anything.
I need to take my Touch HD back to the shop for repairs under warranty because touch screen is not working.
And i currently have Dutty's ROM installed. Problem is that the mobile cannot connect to Active Sync because it is currently in the very first Win Mobile load-up screen and since the display does not work, I cannot install original ROM via USB - I NEED a ROM for install via SD card.
The original HTC touch HD ROMs on xda developers that I have seen are only for install via USB.
Can someone please please point me in the right direction to a English Touch HD Original HTC ROM please that i can install via the SD card? I would very very very much appreciate it!
You don't actually need to be able to connect the phone to Activesync in order to flash the stock rom.
Download whatever Stock Rom you want, boot your phone to the tri-colour screen (So holding down the Vol Down key while pressing power), plug in your USB cable, wait a few seconds and then start the Rom package that you downloaded onto your PC.
Edit - I'm assuming you have used HardSPL on your device. Don't forget that after flashing the stock Rom and Radio to flash your stock SPL back aswell.
It worked! Thanks a lot mate!
But 1 qs. Why do i need to install the Stock SPL? Is it also really important for the warranty?

I would say that yes, it is important.
I've read about warranty claims being refused because HardSPL was on the phone.

Heiii is very easy!!!!
Take the original rom (i think you see xxxxxx.exe) open with one program type winrar or winzip and extract the file largest,rename in BLACIMG.nbh and copy up your microsd
Now you flash with microsd....
This is only for the rom!! Bye
Flashing via SD card failes! Need help! THX
Hi,
I wonder what is wrong with my Touch HD:
I have Olinex 1.14. HSPL and Duttytroy 1.7 installed.
What do I have to do, when I want to flash a new ROM or RADIO by using the SD card. It always says: "No ROM found" or so when I boot in bootloeder modus an then press power buttom.
What things must be done in order to succeed with flashing by SD card??
SD card ist formated as FAT32 and is the original 8GB one that came with my TouchHD.
be sure its not one of those memorycard which just dont work for flashing
iirc they are the transcend ones
you also should format it and leave it completely empty with only the blacimg.nbh file
anyway the suggestions given to update with usb putting the machine in bootloader mode should work as well so that you wont be buggered by the crappy sd
Moony, thanks a lot for your help. HTC will be picking up my phone tomorrow and I have not yet flashed the softSPL because i cannot find it. i have looked for it at the Blackstone Wiki site here with no luck.
If u get this message on time, could u (or someone else) point me in the right direction on where to find the original SPL?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
You can find various original SPLs attached to the bottom of the first post.
I know the Telstra Australia Touch HDs used 1.15, and I think the normal European ones used 1.13 or 1.14.
My htc which is still default from factory freezes on start up. i have been advised that it needs a firmware upgrade but as i am unable to boot the phone up i am unable to upgrade the firmware. i am lost here i have been searching for hours to find a solution and can;t seem to find one so i thought i would ask you guys. it freezes on the screen smart mobility and doesn;t move from there.
Have you tryed to hard-reset?
To flash the original stock ROM via bootloader? as doesn't need to fully load os to flash.
i have tried to hard reset it now and it wont turn on now.
i got it to boot again after the hard reset but it did the same thing just froze on the smart mobility screen again. i had sent it in to be fixed but they wanted to charge me quite a bit to update the software and since i have 4 months till my contract is up i don;t want to pay it is there anyway i can give it the update whilst it is freezing during boot up
Try flash stock ROM via bootloader.
Camera button hold in press in stylus, stock rom "from wiki" now flash via usb or sd.
would you be able to suggest the best rom for me to use i have wm 6.1 the info it givews me is kais130 spl-3.29.0000 cpld-8 i have never done this before i just want to be sure i get the right one
You will need your carrier ROM as when flash will vendor check since not hard-spl'd.
thankyou so much for the help i was able to locate the correct rom and now my phone is working again you have been a great help
Glad you sorted, happy to help
So my problem is - I put android on my htc tytn II and it worked (well kinda) but anyway I decided to switch back to Windows Mobile...
I installed 1.27.x.x radio , found a Windows Mobile 6 ROM and put (Like in the instructions ) Kaisimg.nbh(renamed from ruu_signed.nbh) and Kaisdiag.nbh to my SD card and then started flashing... It flashed smth,rebooted automatically and started booting android again...
Then I hold again camera button + power+ reset and since then when I put EVERY .nbh file on my sd card and try to flash it it STUCK on "Loading.." If I try to flash it with USB It stays at 0%.
The only exeption is if I try to flash from USB the rom that I tried to flash before from my sd card.. then it starts 0%..1% and reboot the phone...
P.S: Please help me...I think my device is not Broken but I dont know what should I do to fix it...
To flash back to WM from android put your kaiser into bootloader (multi colored screen) Then connect to usb. Download any WM build that is recent (I suggest Phoenix 3 for this, you can flash whatever you want later). After you download it open and run the included RUU that came with it and it will flash it on there.
hmm, I also had experienced the similar problem on my 1st time flashing back to WinMo.
When you are trying to flash via USB cable and the process stopped at 1% I guess there is also a message about "Invalid vender ID" right?
and if the text in your bootloader (tricolor screen) doesn't mention anything about hard such as "3.29.0000" (not "3.29.hard")
then
you've lost your hard SPL that's why you cant flash any .nbh to your phone.
I had managed to solve this problem by flashing stock WM rom for kaiser. The rom also has to be suitable for your phone, I mean if your kaiser is originally from France, then use French kaiser stock rom. Or if you are using AT&T Tilt use kaiser cingular stock rom.
you can find the list of shipped roms for kaiser here :
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Kaiser/
If you still have the "invalid vender ID" error message, try another stock ROM.
Thanks man you're my hero! I though I lost my phone.. anyway i bought new one - Nokia 2730 Classic but Ill sell the kaiser...
Thanks Anyway ... you're god!
Have the same problem...
Firstly, I'd like to point that the reason for the hard SPL getting overwritten by an original SPL is NOT HAVING UPDATED HARDSPL to a newer version that prevents accidental overwrite. This is instructed in the previous steps before actually installing Android. That was my mistake (I had HardSPL 1.0 OliPof), and now I can't flash no rom to my Kaiser (which thankfully works quite well in Android).
What happens (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that "KAISDIAG.NBH" is a modified, standalone hardSPL that will flash to the phone the SPL that comes with the "KAISIMG.NBH" you put in your SD card with "KAISDIAG.NBH"). In my case, I used the WinMo 6.1 spanish version 3.29.412.0, which, resulted in my phone being flashed with the original SPL 3.29.
Now, it seems many users have fixed this locating the correct stock rom and flashing it in their Kaisers. But to others, like myself, nothing seems to work. I believe that this is because we not only need a stock rom for our specific Kaiser model, but also it has to be compatible with the SPL that accidentally got installed in the phone. The problem is what if such rom doesn't even exists?
I'm really thankfull for all I learned by reading the forums (and from my mistakes ) and I know I'm in no position to make requests, but here goes what I think could help the users like myself to fix this, if posible:
1) Guide to identify what model of Kaiser we have (maybe it's already there, I just couldn't find it)
2) Complete list (or lists) of stock roms (There are some around, those are easy to find I think, but it doesn't hurt to share different sources)
3) Something like a JumpSPL for Android would be more than awesome...
Thanks in advance to everybody, sorry for my own stupidity . Any idea or help would be much appreciated,
Daniel
hmm, I'm not sure if it has to be compatible with the SPL.
In my case, I was flashing a very old WWE stock rom which has original SPL 1.56.
I also had been very desperate because any stock rom I found seems doesn't work and I even didn't know where originally my kaiser came from because I get it from my uncle. So I tried to flash any WWE stock rom I could found but nothing works. I read from Wikipedia that based on my phone model (Kais100), this model was only sold as AT&T tilt for US. But the problem is my phone is HTC branded, not AT&T tilt. Well, based on this information I also tried to flash some cingular stock rom but the result was just the same.
After contacting HTC Customer care, I know more info about my phone. They told me that based on my phone product ID, my kaiser was originally shipped for US, but unfortunately they can't provide me stock rom for my phone model. So I searched myself but this time I had better objective : to search HTC branded rom but for US.
finally, after days of search. I've found the rom that is suitable for my phone. Its called HTC WWE Brightpoint US which has original SPL 3.29 at the bottom of the list on the website I told you on my previous post.
few weeks ago I also accidentally overwrite my HardSPL again, but this time I did it with the stock ROM which has original SPL 3.29. But this problem also solved by flashing the stock ROM I've found before via USB cable.
So, I guess it has nothing to do with spl version.
Keep tying don't give up.
Update: Step 1 completed! YAY
Using the serial number and some obscure google searching, I came to the conclusion my KAIS130 is australian. Cheers, mate!
I verified this by being able to download stock roms from the australian HTC site with my Kaiser serial number. But at the moment of writing this, have downloaded two roms and no luck yet. 5 minutes remaining for the third one... Wish me luck...
Daniel.
Well... Now what?
Tried all four rom-like thingies I could download on the HTC page, all of them returning error 294...
Now what? try to somehow extract the .nbhs from the exes and and use customRUU.exe? Try to flash from SD card?
Please help... Any ideas... I really want to get rid from that original SPL3.29.0000 It's evil!!! I think it won't never let me flash again.
Thanks,
Daniel

sorry to hear that..
well, extract the .nbh from exe and flash it via sd card is the method that made me overwrite my hard SPL in the first place.
hmm, did your phone comes with operator brand, such as three or something?

No, it's HTC unbranded. Now, something strange here: the label behind the battery has the serial number: HT830GB06075 and the P/N (guess it's part number) :99HCY194-00, but to the left of the camera, another label with the part number: 36H00563-00M and below says DATE:061107(TB02)/US.
I don't know if that's normal, but it caught my atention because my phone seems to have been dissasembled (little label over screw is teared). Maybe my Kaiser isn't Australian after all...
I created a rom_CLEAN using OSKITCKEN. This is my first rom, and before you install, I tried a method of recovery for some malfunction. The SD card I thought it was the best. I found nothing, and after many tests I realized that the system is identical to the HTC LEO (HD2). The only problem was finding the file name to put on SD.
I noticed that in several HTC devices, the final part of the name is IMG. Some evidence and came to the name: PHOTIMG.nbh
TUTORIAL:
DOWNLOAD ORIGINAL ROM
EXTRACT (with WinRAR) File RUU nbh ...
FORMAT sd card in FAT 32 (as does HD2 2GB SD Sandisk)
COPY FILE to SD CARD
RENAME FILE RUU: PHOTIMG.nbh
SD CARD TO PUT IN THE PHONE
TURN IN BOOTLOADER (volume down + POWER)
VIDEO TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.
ROM (EU ROM) TESTED ON MY PHONE 100%

Hi Scherk,

Problem with the ROM for HTC mini
hello,
I need some help, I have the same problem that is solved by reinstalling the original ROM, but I can not find one from the HTC website, I contacted support and they said that my HTC is from Australia but there is no ROM for my HTC mini, these are my data :
HTC mini T5555
S/N:SH06SPZ01406
P/N:99HKN047-00
Please help me, thanks
rom australian
Hello,
In fact I have not found-ROM, the HTC site Australian. I do not know your problem, but if you can give definitive blocked a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714598&page=2 - post 14!!
you can, I think, to try to install English ROM (do not know the required data for your Operator phone). you must have patience to be able to solve ...
Thanks!!!!, I will try later
does not work with this Rom, another idea?
Hi,
when i try to update my ROM by SDcard, after loading, checking , i have a error code like this 00028002 Not allow.
Hi,
But the upgrade is successful?
Flash only stock rom
Extract and copy again file.nbh
If the problem is to reboot:
If you've tried to do update, just once, try again.
If always the same error, try a different brand sd card.
I advise, as already mentioned, sandisk 2gb
Hi,
update is not successful, my SDcard is a Sandisk 2GB.
and i try different stock (Original) Rom find in forum like this one :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860636
or this one :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919987
I personally use a rom, cooked by me, derived precisely from the O2 ROM, and among those I cook,
I think is the best.
In my first tests, I tried to flash the stock rom O2,
and the upgrade is successful.
But of course the radio was not working .....
This method (SD CARD) is born from O2
However there are also many threads on XDA with your error code 00028 ....
Now what is the state of use, your hd mini?
You can attach photos of your screen?
My advice is still to use only stock rom downloaded from HTC OFFICIAL.
will 4GB sandisk work?
sandisk 4gb I do not know, you can try.
I tried it, 4gb sdcard from another vendor, but does not work.
thanks for the fast response. i'll try it.
Nice method!
Have tried it with stock ROM, all is OK.
But with custom one I get only "Loading..." at bootloader.
Is there any chance to do this with custom/cooked ROM?
I think it's not possible because we don't have HardSPL (there is only SoftSPL).
