New HTC Trinity issues

Got my Trinity in the mail today and started the process of pimping it up to xda-developers' standards.
1. Ran SSPL-TRIN.exe without problems from "HTC Trinity SIM & CID Unlock - v1")
2. Ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Dialog on PC said upgrade was successful, but screen was black on device
3. Soft reset device. Windows Mobile (green screen) shows, but never goes away. Repeated this procedure 3 times (waited over 5 min each time)
4. Hard reset device. HTC logo shows with numbers "M 05, B 05, D 1.16" showing for 5 seconds. The text "No GSM" appears for 1 second and disappears with the numbers. Only the HTC logo on white is on the screen, forever.
Any ideas? Would hate to have bricked my phone after only a couple of hours.

I can get into the three color screen. I attempted to run ROMUpdateUtility, as I wrote before, again, but I get an error message on the PC saying that the ROM is corrupted, after which my device resets. (To HTC screen, forever, like I wrote above)

Sounds like a bricked device already.
There is a lot of information on this problem in the Hermes Wiki and forum. You may find some useful information there to help unbrick.
Sorry mate.
S.K.

Is there a way I can obtain a rom that will be accepted by my bootloader? I checked on the FTP, but there's nothing there (anymore?)
If so, perhaps I could flash over to a standard one, then start over.

Check the Wiki, you will find links to some standard ROMs.

Will try them all now. Results with all roms thus far have been:
Progress bar on both PC and phone moves to 1%, then:
a) Phone reboots & PC displays error "invalid vender ID" or b) Phone reboots & PC displays error about image being corrupt

Good news!
I went to a HTC service center where I live (Oslo, Norway). They said they could fix it in 15 min. (flash the device with an original ROM using more advanced equipment than a USB cable)
After about 10 min. the guy comes back with the phone, which now has the exact same screen I was stuck on and concludes that the motherboard is broken. I told them how I had only owned the phone for a day and they offered to replace the motherboard for free (took a few hours).
Once I got back home with the repaired phone, I was pretty nervous about flashing it again, but everything went perfectly.

Congrats friend... let me tell you that you got balls to re-flash your new device after the repair .

Can you tell us exactly what ROM you used to update and is your Trinity HTC made ?

Always flash from the SD card!

Actually, I'd suggest adding to the Wiki that any flash should always be done directly from the SD card (as per instructions in the wiki) to avoid PC/USB problems. After bricking my Hermes because of a USB comm problem, I always flash from the card directly. Much faster and safer.

this concludes the beta test...

Hello all,
first, a big thanks to all the rom developers around. You transformed my Diamond in a usable and enjoyable tool.
What happened to me tonight is very frightening. In fact, I cannot believe what happened.
And this is the story: I was at a birthday party and later in the evening I checked my phone : it seemed to have frozen, so I rebooted it as I do sometimes when I have no other choice. But this time something strange happened : I got the following message "this concludes the beta test of this software release. thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers" - what the ... ? No way to make a call, the message is impossible to remove... completely blocked !!!
I don't remember exactly the rom I flashed last because I sometimes change. It might be a dutty's release (75%M sure) - anyway I was in a very bad situation because my wife wasn't feeling well and I couldn't call her without finally borrowing a phone from someone.
I will flash a new rom tomorrow and I hope that the message will disappear but I can tell you that it is a very strange feeling when suddenly your phone refuses to operate normally. It's a nightmare.
I hope that someone has an explanation for this because I don't want to go trough this situation ever again, it's just so annoying to have a phone which tells you "No you can't use me; your trial period has expired" when you need it he most.
Thank you for your opinions in advance

Have you tried a hard reset?

Yep same problem here.
Using duttys 1.93 - Can't get to his website either.
Hard rest does not work - had to reflash back to branded (Telstra) ROM

i'm having the exact problem right now, what can i do to fix this? someone told me to reflash it but how? i'm VERY new to the diamond
hardreset does not work
I bought the phone from a person so it's second hand. The seller did mention he updated the ROM, I'm assuming this is the cause of the problem? help please
thanks!

I am getting the exact same problem.I do not know what to do.

Sigh and since my computer will not sync, I cannot reflash it. Hard set is also a no go.

ya I cant sync it with my computer either... i'm searching other sections on this forum and I cant seem to find one that teaches you how to flash without syncing with the computer

OK i got it well kinda sorta. If you hard reset and just use the date taht dutty had then your phone will load. Do not correct the date and you should also change the date on your computer so that it wont sync. Then donwload his new rom or whatever rom you prefer and then flash it. Then change the dates back. It worked for me.

thanks.. do you have the link for the new rom?
I'm going to give it a try

The link it dutt'y new rom is here http://rapidshare.com/files/162091111/Ruu_Signed_duttys_diamond__V2.9_5_2_20275_RTM_Full_MSVC.zip

just a question how do you flash it?
can you help me? i'm very new to this phone

I had the same problem last night- expired beta software. If I do a hard reset I believe I will loose all the info on the phone, is that correct?
I was thinking that changing the date will work, is there another way to change the date without having to loose the info?
Someone has a reliable link to an instruction on how to flash the ROM?
I am also using throy 2.3, to find the latest release please go to WWW.DUTTYTHROY.NET
Any help appreciated.

!everyone! you can flash roms from bootloader. hold volume down and the little red reset button, keep holding vol down untill bootloader. at the tri color screen, run ruu from host pc. everything will be fine with this method. just like activesync.

ok i to change the time and stuff and it actually can sync using active sync.. however.. when tried to install HSPL 1.24 after the part where the phone will turn black.. i click on the DiamondCustomRUU as instructed
but it says this "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). CLick on OK to terminate the application"

Is there a way I can recover this without losing all that is on my phone?

Do anybody know the password for the latest ROM 2.9 from Dutty? His page is unavailable right now....

Duttys V2.9 RTM Finale

someone please tell me how to flash.. from scratch? i hard reset my phone.. and i cant get HSPL to work. When i install the activesync way, the black screen turns on then i cant open DiamondCustomRUU
if i do i the bootloader way, when i connect from the three colour screen it cant pick up the phone because it says i'm missing Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM
please help been stuck for hours already

i won't flash Duttys ROM again!!! Right now i need my phone and it doesn't work! And if i reflash it i lose my data....
never again!

its you have a problem with duttys rom
you need to use his thread to point out your problems....
not this one.

Having A Lot of Trouble Flashing

My phone won't take the flash of ANY ruus!
It gives me the same error with everyone of them. I've been trying for like two hours, it always says image is corrupted. so i redownload, re-extract. same problem, I've tried all the ones I can find and none!

it's hard to help if you dont give any info
phone-wing, p4350, etc
ipl/spl -number
did u hard spl your phone
did u follow instructions given here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358225
you've been on the site for a while so i assumed you have.
list the steps you took when flashing
give out more info and i'm sure someone will help

Yeah I read all the posts but I was still a little fuzzy.
SPL4.10.0000
IPL4.10.0000
Tmobile Wing
First I Hard Reset my phone, put it into flight mode, and ran the USPL program
It gets all the way to the point where it's showing the progress bar, at 3% everytime, my phone resets and it says the image file is corrupted.
I re-downloaded all of them numerous times, used different programs to extract them, reset my computer etc. etc. etc. same thing every time

have you tried the link i gave you, i also have 2 wings and successfully did it with both using this method, the way to check your ipl/spl is press the soft reset with holding down the camera key until the colored screen shows up and you will see it then, to go back just press the soft reset button to boot back to normal, go see here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Herald
this is the best place to start, i've read through alot of these pages before flashing my first rom and i'm actually flashed 22 different roms over the two phones with no problems except the ones that need the keyboard fix. i'm still new to these phones as you can see in my sig but i'm trying to learn as much as I can since I wanna be able to cook my own rom, later.

What OS are u using on you're computer some people have been having problems with Vista there is also a thread on that

No I'm on XP, do I have to Hard-SPL? I think maybe that's the problem?

Voila! You're my savior! Thanks a lot! It's working fine now

Help! Problems flashing X1

Hey everyone. I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this sorted but I just don't know what to do!
So, when I got my X1 as everyone on here should do, was flash my X1 with the HardSPL and some custom roms, this was a few months back. Then, shock! Horror! My case went and broke, (cracked near the volume button build W44) so I sent it back to SE for repair. I sent it back reset back to defaults but left the hardspl on there.
SE sent me a brand new phone (I think... This one says under the battery build w50, but the battery says w32..) I received it today. I thought it would be my old one repaired but SE had other ideas. Booted up and have Image Version: 1.03.931.10 and HardSPL 72.000 I think I said that correctly...
Now since sending it for repair and receiving it back, their seems to be quite a few wm6.5 roms floating about, and obviously I can't use the stock software as that wouldn't be right!
Now I have tried flashing the hardspl to the phone through my Vista PC and all it keeps giving me is connection errors. I thought maybe it was already flashed so I tried flashing just a rom, and that just made the phone get stuck on loading (flash by memory card). I thought it might be Vista, so I tried doing it on my other PC (XP) and I get the same issue. This bloody thing won't flash!
I have had "Connection Problems" - "Update Errors" with different numbers. The current one being Error [260] CONNECTION.
Now I have been searching around through the hardspl thread and other places trying to find out what I need to do or how I can fix it, but everything I try doesn't make a difference. I did read some other people with recently repaired phones having the same problem and perhaps SE have put a new spl thingy-ma-jiggy on there. (Please forgive the technical jargon, I have no idea what im on about.) I have also tried the ticking/unticking advanced network functionality, but that hasn't made a difference either.
So by the end of typing this, I have little hair left. Let's hope you can all help, before I have none left!
I would appreciate ANY help! Really.
Just wanted to add, I was at first getting the phone to a loading bar when flashing, but it would stay at 0% then flag up an error on the PC. Now after the tri-colour bars, the phone just sticks on Loading...

Well just to update. I have been trying to sort this since posting. I flashed the rom to an old UK generic one, as I read in another topic people had to do that before HardSPL. Done that, and tried flashing the hardspl. Same thing, just getting connection errors.
I tried going into bootloader and running the hardspl from there. It works and the phone gets to 10% and then gives an UPDATE ERROR. The phone is now bricked, and I have to reflash the original wm rom to get it back.
Though the Tricolour screen now shows 0.52.Olinex
Any ideas?

Shameless bump for help.

very stupid situation.
i have the same situation in puncto of flashing.
i get my phone three month ago.
after hardspl i .... sorry, no hardspl ... the phone says at 0% bla bla bla
i solve the problem by consulting one night absolutly stressing again and again and again .... google ... xda ... google
than 3 thinks at one time was the solution:
0. need activesync - connect !!!!
1. SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe for desktop pc
2. enterbootloader.exe for pocketpc (please, the right version, it exist for eten too, but we need the xpediaversion ..)
3. changing registry-entries
how to:
activesync-connect, than copy "enterbootloader.exe" to pocketpc. it must be root, not sd-card. use a pocketpc-registry-program to change these values :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies\0000101b = 1
if not exist than add the key.
now, start desktop-program, follow instruction EXCEPT reboot.
start "enterbootloader.exe" on pocketpc. now, you can install hardspl and the device is flashable for ever.
thats works on me, hope it could help you too.

Thanks for the reply. Not had time to try it till this morning. Ok so, after spending about an hour trying to find the correct enterbootloader.exe I finally realized, that the hardspl package includes it. *Duh!* So that was time wasted.
I changes the registry values as you said with Resco registry editor, and follower the unlock then enterbootloader.exe Start HardSPL package. Starts to install. Gets to 10% then I get
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
The rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process.
So im open to suggestions if anyone has any. I just can't understand why it's not working. It's not a problem with my computer or cables. I flashed the phone before I sent it for repair and I have tried doing it on two computers one with XP 32bit and one with Vista 64bit.

hmm. would u like to install a custom rom, or a stock rom?
msg me, and i hope, i can halp u.

I want to have the hardspl on there so I can flash custom roms.

If it's a case of the software/firmware/hardspl whatever you call it, has been updated by SE. How would one go about getting it flashed? Would we have to wait for an update HardSPL to be released?

U read this thread?
My first hardspl was from this thread. New X1 will come tomorrow back from SE (vibration was defect +++ some more problems with case), and i will try it again with this thread.
hope, this will help u mate.

Yeah, I have been through that thread with a fine toothcombe trying everything suggested to see if I can make it work.
When you get yours back, if you have to do anything out of the ordinary to get it to flash or can't do it. Please come and let me know in this thread. If they have updated yours like mine, and yours won't flash, at least I won't be the only one!

k, i will msg u tomorrow around 2pm.

Cheers.
In the meantime. Does anyone have any other suggestions I could try?

Bump, for some help.

now i know, what is exatcly your problem.... <--- SAME Problem
i hope, i will find a solution and msg u then. if u´ll got a solution for this prob, msg me too plz.

Solution found in this Thread!
Download this and unzip it to your device. ++ run it. It will start your X1 in Bootloader menu and say "0.52.OliNex".
Then start hardspl while X1 is in Bootloadermenu....
FINISH =)

Thanks for the reply matey. Glad you got yours sorted. Just tried what you said and I get 0% then it switches to ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR.

hmmm... it works fine on my new x1. are u sure, that u start the ssplmanual on your x1 and not on your computer?

Yea, im not sure what the problem was with it. Thankfully I have it done and dusted today! Because I flashed it earlier to an older official version, and you said you got it working. I presumed you had - had yours flashed to the newest version due to it being off for repair. So I reflashed the official update and fully updated it. Then tried hardspl which didn't work. Tried with the advanced USB thing off, tried again with how you said you did it above, and Viola!
Hip hip hoorah! Thanks for the help. Can finally use me bleedin phone now!

no problem mate hf with your x1

hello,
i see smilies and yea's ...
for me to understanding (for next time or other users):
1. complete official update (if exists)
2. flashing (hardspl) without "advanced usb"
thats all?
cool.

Stuck on bootloader screen!!! Help!!

I've been waiting for hours for someone to help me and I searched and searched, I can't find any help!!! I have to go to work soon and I've been on this screen since 7:30AM EST!
Looks like I'm stuck at the boot loader screen and it goes back to it when I do a soft rest. I can't do a hard reset since I can't turn off the phone.
I think it's the bootloader screen.
Says RUUNBH on the top right corner and the screen is red, green, blue and white which these codes or whatever.
Took the battery out for a few and it went right back to that same screen.
Can someone help me bring back my Rhodium to stock???
EDIT: I might of posted this in the wrong section. Should this be in Rhodium General?
*UPDATE*
ark666 found the stock rom for T-Mobile HTC TP2 and I did a flash to get it back! Thank you so much ark666!!!

Flash stock rom.

I have no idea on how to do that, I searched how-to's but I can't find any full instructions or where to get the stock rom for T-Mobile HTC TP2.

This is the worse ever!!! Somebody please!!!
Isn't this the best site for things like this?

Try a manual hard reset? The instructions should be in your manual.

It says while the phone is off to HOLD SEND/END key with the power until the message comes up. The phone wont turn off unless I take out the battery for me to do a hard reset.
EDIT: I took the battery out then put it back in. The phone is now off, I hold the buttons and did the hard reset. It went right back to the boot loader screen.

hi,
what happend after you hard reset the device?
regards,
twisted

Asked me to press the VOL UP button to reboot. I did and it went right back to the boot loader screen. A flash happened on the screen when I try a soft reset and it says really quickly!..."NO IMG FILE" then it goes back to the 4 color screen.
EDIT: Image below on how my screen is since 7:30 AM EST!!!

on some device, active the RUU, connect it to PC & press soft reset button (the one in side the battery cover).
don't know if it help, just try that
good luck

Thanks for the reply, but that was the first thing I tried. Looks like I will have to go to work with no phone! This is crazy on how this can't be resolved.

Looks like you've basically erased the flash I'd say...
If you can get the t-mobile image, then try flashing that back to the device... If you connect a usb cable to your device, at the bottom, where it says serial it'll change to usb...
Or, if you have a goldcard, maybe try installing another image. But I'd say you're best to install the t-mobile image if you can get one?!

Ok so where can I get an image that will work on my phone? I also will need instructions on how to do it properly.

Where are you from? Can you find the rom on your tmobile site?
Or, creat a goldcard, copy the RHODIMG.nbh into the root of the card and try flashing that...?
As far as I know, your device is not bricked, you simply need your original supplier rom...

I replied to the PM (basically do set 16 0 command in mtty)
but I see your photo now - you have 0.85.1000 SPL? that's mfg SPL so if "set 16 0" did not help (you didn't describe what you did to the phone when this happened), you can just take any official rhodium ROM and flash it
sorry if I misread your photo... quite blurry

Ok that's my main problem that I've been having. Where can I get an official Rhodium ROM and how do I do a flash? I've been searching all morning.
And yes 0.85.1000, that's what it says on the screen.
I tried to this ROM...Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548546
Did the goldcard, but I think I did it wrong. I added the RHODIMG to the SD then tried to update my TP2. That's when I got an error saying it's not for PDA and how I need to update my utility.
I got the steps to do the goldcard correctly, I just want to take another shot at updating this ROM.

see my PM first, maybe set 16 0 will be enough.
is your SPL version really 0.85.1000? how did you get this phone? what happened when it got stuck on bootloader screen?
as for flashing, see xdadev wiki on rhodium.

Ok, will try what you PMed me. Brb!
It says 0.85.1000 on the screen so I guess so and I got it from T-Mobile. Ordered it through Customer Service.
post #15 has been updated to let you know what I was trying to do.

then the set 16 0 will work just fine
weird the rom didn't work though

I have just flashed the 6.5 rom which you flashed
It does change the spl to 0.85 and i have the exact the sameimage which you have shotted during the flash process. But the process of this rom's flashing has two stage, it will restart after first 10% and show up the image which you shotted and upload, and continue afterwards. i guess ur goldcard has the problem so it stops and stucked there. Try other sign roms would be a better solution.
